Other Reddit users defend Bless: The scene could just as well be seen as a tribute to a great film. “How to Train Your Dragon” has also been a basis for a complete game, for School of Dragons.
Above all, the creator was accused of just dragging the name of Bless through the mud. He himself goes by the name “NattoGW2” and his posts have mostly been pro GuildWars and contra Bless.
Many don’t understand what the fuss is about: Another group of users is puzzled about what this “witch hunt” is all about. Anyone who is already a fan of GuildWars has no reason to hate Bless.
Using a reference to well-known scenes is also commonplace. It is not something that Neowiz should be criticized for and certainly no reason for a hate post.
Bless polarizes: This discussion also shows how much Bless is currently dividing opinions. Rarely has an MMORPG polarized as much as Bless is right now.
What do you think? Is the scene a cool reference to a good movie, or is it just cheap knockoff? Do you think the discussion is exaggerated? Let us know in the comments!

The new MMORPG Bless Online has released a trailer for its launch in Europe. However, there is a part in it that uses the exact animation from a Dreamworks film. A Reddit user noticed this – and it sparked a debate.
“How to Train Your Dragon” in the Bless trailer: In the official trailer for Bless Online, released in late 2017, a Reddit user discovered something. A scene in the trailer exactly matches the animation from the film “How to Train Your Dragon”.
The Bless trailer lasts less than two and a half minutes, and the scene is only visible for a few moments. From about second 35, a dragon rider crashes with his dragon into an abyss and has to pull sharply upwards. The same scene is found in “How to Train Your Dragon”.

When the comparison was posted in a compiled animation on reddit, it sparked a heated discussion. Reddit users have very different views on what the motivation of the developer Neowiz could have been.
But see for yourself:
The scene is stolen and plagiarized: The original post on Reddit about the issue was titled: “The Bless trailer plagiarized How to Train Your Dragon”. This is a serious accusation, which would mean that Neowiz has unlawfully taken someone else’s property.

Even though it looks like there is a gender lock in the concept art of the classes of the MMORPG AI:R – Ascent Infinite Realm, there is no gender lock in the MMORPG.
All classes for every gender
No gender lock in AI:R. So far, the concept art of the classes of the upcoming MMORPG AI:R – Ascent Infinite Realm always shows either women or men. Therefore, fans were already concerned that there would be a “gender lock,” meaning that only certain genders are allowed for some classes. This is often the case with MMORPGs from South Korea. However, as the developers revealed, this is not the case. Each class in AI:R has a male and a female version.
New classes introduced. To show that both men and women can play all classes, the developers released new concept art for the Mystic, Warlord, and Elementalist classes, alternating between male and female versions.
Mystic – The spellcasters wear a robe made of light, layered fabric. The loose garments around the waist almost resemble a butterfly.
Warlord – The Warlord wears heavy armor. Usually, this is plate armor primarily made of steel. This armor offers excellent protection.
Elementalist – The outfit made of fabric fits snugly and allows the body shape to be recognized. The design is luxurious and sophisticated.
When the beta phase of the MMORPG AI:R – Ascent Infinite Realm starts is currently still unknown. Fans are already waiting impatiently. In recent weeks, new concept art images have been shown time and again, which we present to you here on the Mein-MMO theme page for the new MMORPG A:IR.
It’s unfortunate when you want to test an MMORPG with as many players as possible, but then forget to remove the faction limit – as happened in the new MMORPG Crowfall. It has more testers than ever before, but the developer made a little “Oops.”
A New Record of Testers
More testers than ever before. With the recent update 5.6, numerous innovations were introduced to the upcoming MMO Crowfall. These changes finally allow you to expand the Eternal Kingdom together with friends. Group play is thus at the forefront. This has attracted many new testers who now hope to get a good impression of the game. Therefore, more players than ever wanted to test Crowfall.
Crowfall CEO Posts: Oops!
Testers want to play, but can’t. However, the developers forgot to adjust the faction limit in the game. This caused some limitations for the factions to be enforced, which were integrated into the game about a year ago. Since the number of players has now significantly increased, these limitations no longer make sense, which is why they needed to be adjusted. Designer Todd Coleman’s tweet does not reveal what these limitations are. However, the team had to make some adjustments due to the many testers and raise the limitations.

Crowfall is getting a soft launch. If you’re waiting to find the perfect moment to play Crowfall, you should think carefully. Because the MMORPG will not receive a regular release, but a soft launch. The game will be constantly developed, so everyone must decide when to jump in.
In Fortnite, a player has cracked the secret bunker by crashing into it with a shopping cart. However, the result is sobering: behind the hatch lies an abyss.
What kind of bunker is this? A few patches ago, a mysterious “hatch” appeared in Fortnite: Battle Royale. The hatch is located in Wailing Woods. It reminds players of the TV series “Lost.” This hatch is likely connected to the secret story of Fortnite, the battle of the supervillain “Omege” against the superheroes of Fortnite. It is suspected that there is a secret bunker hidden there.
Hatch cannot be opened: Until now, no one knew what was behind this hatch. Attempts to look down there with the replay tool did not work either. Epic had taken precautions. No one has managed to open this hatch in the “Wailing Woods” until a few hours ago.
Shopping cart as a battering ram in Fortnite
Player rams bunker with shopping cart: On reddit, a player published his deed. He rammed the hatch with the new shopping cart, destroying and opening it. (Here is a link to the video of the action, in case you can’t see the embedded post).
What was there to see? Nothing. Only a shaft appears. One cannot descend into the bunker but remains stuck on the surface. Unfortunately, there is not much to see.
How do the fans react? Fortnite players are impressed by the stunt. They appreciate that someone came up with the creative idea to use the shopping cart this way. However, fans are somewhat disappointed that there was so little to see. They thought they would discover a huge villain fortress there. Players are now even more curious about what Epic has in store for the hatch.
The hatch could be the next major map expansion for Fortnite
What could be waiting under the hatch? Fans suspect that something big will happen under the hatch in one of the next patches, perhaps an underground tunnel system or a map expansion that makes Fortnite more interesting under the Wailing Woods. For now, the hatch remains a simple placeholder. The shopping cart crash has revealed that.
For the upcoming Western shooter Red Dead Redemption 2 (PS4 and Xbox One), the pre-order bonuses from Microsoft have apparently been leaked. They promise powerful steeds, but no online features.
What happened? Red Dead Redemption 2 – the long-awaited Western shooter from Rockstar – is set to be released on October 26, 2018, for Xbox One and Playstation 4. However, the bonuses for pre-ordering have apparently been leaked due to an accident at Microsoft.
In an entry in the Microsoft Store, the bonuses for pre-order customers were briefly visible. They have since been removed, but savvy users have posted screenshots online.
Horse and Virtual Dollars for Preorder
What are the pre-order bonuses? According to the leak, the following goodies are available for eager fans who pre-order Red Dead Redemption 2 before release:
The mount “War Horse”
An “Outlaw Survival Kit”
A cash bonus for the story mode of Red Dead Redemption 2
500,000 GTA dollars for GTA Online
An exclusive treasure map for the story mode of Red Dead Redemption 2 (Only for pre-orders made before July 31, 2018)
Of course, these details may still change. Other providers and retailers may have different offers for the game.
What about online features?
What’s noticeably absent: Online features! Does Red Dead Redemption 2 not have an online mode at launch? This wouldn’t be new for Rockstar. With GTA 5, the online mode was also missing at launch and was only added two weeks later.

Is there even an online mode coming? At least the existence of the online mode seems assured. Rockstar hasn’t provided any concrete information on it yet, but the expectation is that such a mode will come. After a leak, there was even speculation that Red Dead Redemption 2 would emphasize online play even more than GTA 5.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS & Xbox One) are already the challenges for Week 6 of Season 4 known. Find out here the challenges from the current data leak.
Every week Fortnite: Battle Royale updates the challenges of the Battle Pass. Then 7 exciting challenges and tasks are added that you must complete by the end of the season.
New date for the challenges: Until last week, the challenges always came on Tuesday of the week. However, for Week 5 the rhythm was changed to Thursday. Therefore, it should also be on Thursday, June 7, for Week 6.
But data miners have already found out what to expect.
Season 4, Week 6 – Here are the 7 Challenges!
If the leak is correct, then there are the following challenges to complete:
Deal damage to opponents with shotguns (500)
Search chests in Loot Lake (7)
Search supply drops (3)
Spray over various Carbide or Omega posters (7)
Each of these challenges is worth 5 stars in the Battle Pass.
The hard challenges in Week 6
They each give 10 Battle Pass stars and thus one immediate level.
Search between a playground, a campsite, and a footprint (1)
Eliminate 3 opponents with a submachine gun (3)
Eliminate opponents at Retail Row (3)
What is the total yield? Overall, you can earn 5 complete Battle Pass levels through the challenges again. Provided you complete all the challenges.
Additionally, this qualifies you for another cover image from the Blockbuster Challenge. In it, there are hints for another bonus Battle Star. However, you must completely finish all previous challenges.
Fortnite: How to complete the new challenges from Week 6
If the leak is correct, it’s best to proceed as follows:
The chests in Loot Lake are most worthwhile when a game mode with improved loot chance is available. Then all available chests will spawn, and you can search them quickly.
Dealing damage with shotguns is really no art. A few good hits with the shotgun, preferably to the head, and you soon have the points together. Perhaps there’s again a game mode active that includes shotguns. Sooner or later, this challenge will be yours!
The thing with Supply Drops is tricky, though. The things often don’t come down where you are. And reaching them is usually a daunting task. It all goes easier when there’s a game mode like “Blitz” running, which brings more supply drops.
Spraying the posters shouldn’t be a big problem. As soon as a map with poster locations is available, we will show you here on Mein MMO. You can find out how to use spray paints here.
Getting kills with an SMG should be pretty easy at the start of the game. Ideally, jump off over Tilted Towers and start hunting. If you still have the SMG damage challenge from Week 5 open, you can cash in double now!
The kills at Retail Row promise plenty of action. The shopping area is well stocked with loot and offers enough space for nerve-wracking house fights.
The treasure between the playground, campsite, and footprint is likely to be discovered soon by savvy players. We will then provide a guide on Mein MMO when the time comes.
However, keep in mind that the leaks are just rumors for now and may not be entirely accurate. Some details might still change before the start on June 7, 2018.
It seems that Fallout 76 is not a classic Fallout, but rather jumps late on a trend: the survival RPG. What is Bethesda thinking? Perhaps the same as Funcom with Conan Exiles, believes our author Schuhmann.
Fallout 76 presents fans with a puzzle: US journalist Jason Schreier warned fans after the presentation of “Fallout 76”: Don’t expect a classic Fallout RPG. You will be disappointed. Fallout 76 is supposed to be a survival RPG, a game like Rust or DayZ, the journalist later explained, citing unnamed sources. Fans have since wondered: What is Bethesda thinking?
Bethesda is closed, but Funcom is open: We don’t know Bethesda’s plans, but we are familiar with the plans and ideas of the game company Funcom. They regularly present their ideas to investors – these presentations are public. And indeed: The answer to the question about the origin of Fallout 76 could provide the development history of Conan Exiles.
The Origin of Conan Exiles
Funcom’s crisis: The MMO specialist Funcom was in crisis for many years, reaching a low point in 2015:
The old MMOs they had were no longer doing well (Age of Conan, Anarchy Online)
The new projects were flops (LEGO) or at least not as successful as they needed to be to keep the boat afloat (The Secret World).
Funcom was a specialist in a genre that investors no longer believed in (MMORPG),
Moreover, they had the tax office on their back due to insider trading.
They owned the license for “Conan the Barbarian” and had good contacts with the rights holders, dating back to the “Age of Conan” days.
and Funcom had the technology and personnel to set up an open-world MMO.
But how could they use that to save the company? They developed an “open-world survival RPG,” which they seasoned with plenty of MMORPG elements and the Conan license to make it an enticing dish. They showed this to investors at the end of 2015.
Source: Funcom Financial Report 4/2015
Funcom’s plan:Funcom explained its plan to investors. There was a genre that was rapidly evolving but had not yet been dominated by any single game. While there were clear frontrunners in MMORPGs (WoW) or MOBAs (League of Legends), the field of open-world survival MMOs was still open. Games like ARK or Rust were floating around in the genre, but none were dominant. Funcom wanted to penetrate this with “Conan Exiles.” They saw great potential: After all, the genre was popular on Twitch and Steam, the catalysts of gaming at the time. Funcom had previously conducted a trial run with “streamers” to promote the smaller game “The Park.”
Conan Exiles saves Funcom: With this plan, Funcom convinced the investors, received a substantial financial boost in 2016 and hastily brought Conan Exiles into early access in 2017. The game earned a lot of money and saved Funcom. Although the hype quickly subsided, as Conan Exiles lacked polish and content in 2017, the team continued to work on the game, prepared a port for PS4 and Xbox One, and was able to celebrate successes again at release in 2018.
Bethesda might have been in the same situation three years ago
What is up with Fallout 76: From everything we know, “Fallout 76” could become a similar game to Conan Exiles – only that it came from a different direction. Fallout 76 is rumored to be a survival RPG with base building.
Allegedly started as Fallout 4 multiplayer. Fallout 76 is said to have started as a “multiplayer version” of Fallout 4, which for some reason did not work. Fallout 4 was released at the end of 2015. The development or separation of Fallout 76 must have occurred around the same time as the ideas surrounding Conan Exiles.
The situation of Bethesda:
They already had the “foundations” for a game they now didn’t know what to do with
and that was material from the Fallout license.
What to do with it now?
Here Bethesda must have reached the same point as Funcom: the “survival genre” as a delicious, wide-open field to which a strong license like “Fallout” fits wonderfully. So they decided on a spin-off from Fallout – for a survival game with RPG elements.
But no early access: However, it seems Bethesda has taken a different path than Funcom. Unlike Funcom, Bethesda was under no pressure, they didn’t need to earn quick money. Instead of going into early access early in 2017, they likely developed the game first to now release it in 2018. Thus, they missed the big hype wave around “survival games,” but now have the opportunity to hopefully release a polished game. Because to this day, the survival genre lacks a polished AAA title.
Currently just rumors: However, the information regarding Fallout 76 is based only on rumors. The presentation of the game will take place in a few days. But Funcom’s story about “Conan Exiles” might help us understand what Bethesda is thinking by bringing a “Fallout” that doesn’t sound like a Fallout at all. It will be interesting to see how precisely Fallout 76 will be tailored. Does it contain a strong story and campaign to satisfy fans of the franchise?
Soon, the next faction rally in Destiny 2 will be starting. However, some aspects of the revised group fights are facing increasing criticism. For many, the next victorious faction is already clear. Fans fear a one-sided course of the upcoming events and that they will have to betray their faction.
The Faction Rally is back: The group fights have not had a good standing with the Destiny 2 community. They were considered boring and labeled as insignificant. Following this, Bungie pulled the plug and removed the event from the game to fundamentally revise it.
On June 5th, it will finally happen: the group fights will return in revised form with the Weekly Reset after a long forced break.
There is a new concept: The new group fights bring numerous innovations. A ranking system has been introduced – similar to that of the Vanguard or the Iron Banner. As the rank increases, more rewards are unlocked. The most attractive rewards, such as new ornaments for exotic armor or catalysts for exotic weapons, can be found at level 50.
Furthermore, the loyalty oath now applies account-wide and not individually for each character. The choice applies for the total duration of the one-week event. You can only decide for a different faction in the next rally.
Fans are concerned: Yet even before the first of three upcoming faction rallies in Season 3, there are heated debates about their new orientation. For example, Bungie’s decision to apply the loyalty oath account-wide is being controversially discussed.
What appears to be a sensible step for some, as it gives the faction choice more significance, is an absolute no-go for others. They feel forced to join a faction merely to receive a certain reward, even though they actually prefer another group – especially since these rewards have nothing to do with the factions themselves.
And this linkage of rewards to individual factions is currently the hottest topic among fans. The developers have planned various ornaments for exotic armor pieces and also masterwork catalysts for exotic weapons as rewards for the most loyal and persistent followers of the factions.
In theory, this sounds good and coherent. However, large parts of the community agree – Bungie has not done the game a favor. Due to the respective faction rewards, numerous fans are now predicting a very one-sided course of the planned events – as for many, the winner is already determined.
Dead Orbit will dominate the group fights
Many community members see Dead Orbit as the clear winner of the upcoming event even before the start of the first revised group fight. Some even believe that Dead Orbit will dominate all three rallies of Season 3.
Do you have to betray your faction for such a good reward?
Why specifically Dead Orbit? In the context of the overhaul of the group fights, Bungie decided to tie catalysts for exotic weapons to the individual factions. However, this very concept decision now overshadows Dead Orbit compared to the other two factions.
The New Monarchy offers the catalyst for the Workhorse, a decent exotic weapon.
The KDZ offers it for the Sunshot – also a decent weapon.
However, Dead Orbit has the masterwork catalyst for the Graviton Lance – one of the currently best, if not the best exotic weapon in PvP. This catalyst greatly enhances this weapon.
Thus, for many players, Dead Orbit is the logical choice – regardless of whether they wanted to choose this faction due to the other rewards or personal preference or not. Bungie seems to be forcing the Guardians to betray their faction, which many have been loyal to for years.
One-sided group fights: No one yet knows exactly how quickly level 50 can be reached. Especially the “Renown” system is still a big question mark. This system will allow, among other things, to increase the token yield – to what extent is still unknown. With the tokens, one can accordingly rank up in the faction.
There will certainly be players who will manage to reach level 50 with every faction within the three event weeks and thus grab all the rewards. However, many fans fear that for the majority of Guardians, it will mean chasing the most attractive reward across multiple, if not all three group fight events. Thus, the winner for the entire Season 3 is essentially already determined – the other factions will not be able to keep up with their rewards.
What do fans wish for? Many players now hope that the catalysts would at least be available at an earlier rank so that more players could secure these coveted rewards during the group fights. Some Guardians are demanding that Bungie completely removes the catalysts from the rewards pool and makes them available in other ways, as they have nothing to do with the individual factions.
What does Bungie say? Whether Bungie will make adjustments or not is still unknown. The studio has not yet commented on this discussion. However, players are hoping for more clarity on certain points – especially whether the remaining catalysts along with the seasonal rewards will completely disappear after the end of Season 3 or will still be obtainable in other ways. If this is indeed the case, Bungie would do well to communicate this clearly. Otherwise, the next wave of outrage is almost certain.
What do you think about it? Is the permanent winner of the Season 3 group fights already determined? What do you think about the new concept of the faction rally?

In Monster Hunter World, the tempered monsters are getting an upgrade. Battle-tempered (Arch-Tempered) monsters are even stronger variants from which you can craft the new Gamma armors.
What are battle-tempered monsters? These monsters have a metallic sheen and an unmatched ferocity. They are said to be significantly stronger than the regular tempered monsters and pose a new challenge for endgame players.
When do the battle-tempered monsters appear? On June 8, the battle-tempered Kirin will appear in Monster Hunter World and will disappear again on June 21. This means the monsters will come with limited-time event quests. After Kirin, Vaal Hazak will be next. We can expect more event quests featuring battle-tempered Elder Dragons to follow.
The first quests with battle-tempered monsters
You will find these monsters in the event quests at the quest counter as soon as they are available to you. Battle-tempered monsters have a new color around their monster symbol. For regular tempered monsters, it is approximately purple.
Kirin Event Quest: The Whisper of the White Mane Date: June 8 – June 21 Main objective: Kill a battle-tempered Kirin Conditions: HR 50 or higher
Vaal Hazak Event Quest: The Deadly Silent Curtain Date: June 22 – July 5 Main objective: Kill a battle-tempered Vaal Hazak Conditions: HR 50 or higher
New High-Rank Gamma Armors: The γ-Sets
The stronger monsters also drop stronger gear. When you complete event quests with battle-tempered monsters, you will receive materials for a new form of high-rank armor.
The Gamma armors are said to have new abilities, although nothing further is known yet. The likelihood is high that these armors have a fundamentally higher defense value.
γ-Set of the Battle-Tempered Kirin
γ-Set of the Battle-Tempered Vaal Hazak
Are battle-tempered monsters the G-Rank?
Probably not. The battle-tempered species seems to be something new in the Monster Hunter universe. G-Rank monsters are a significant increase and have always come with a new game, the Ultimate version. This is also the case for Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate which is soon coming to the Nintendo Switch. The armors obtained from G-Rank monsters were also titled with “X” or “Z” in earlier parts.
The battle-tempered monsters appear with event rotations in Monster Hunter World. Capcom also notes that the indicated availability periods for the quests may shift. Additionally, they plan to bring more decorative armors into the game.
What do you think about this new form of monsters?

The Korean gaming publisher Nexon has made significant acquisitions. In May 2018, the company bought 30% of the shares of NAT Games. This is the developer behind the popular mobile game HIT. Now Nexon plans to bring the new mobile game OVERHIT to Europe.
Overall, Nexon now controls 48.3% of the NAT Games shares and is thus the main shareholder of the developer. The publisher is now planning to bring NAT’s latest game to the West.
Publisher giant and one-hit-wonder developer join forces
What is Nexon known for? In Korea, Nexon is regarded as one of the largest gaming publishers for mobile and online PC games.
However, the company is less known here, as only a few of their games have been released outside of Korea or Japan.
Most players will have heard the name Nexon in connection with titles such as the MapleStory games, Atlantica Online, and Tree of Savior.
Who are NAT Games? The developer of mobile games is known in Korea for their game “Heroes of Incredible Tales” (HIT).
It quickly gained huge popularity due to its extremely beautiful graphics and diverse gameplay, which led to Nexon acquiring a large share of NAT Games at the end of 2017.
Will Overhit be localized? After the Korea launch in November 2017, Overhit is expected to come to Japan in spring 2018.
However, throughout the year, it will also be available for Western players. A specific release date is not yet known.
The high graphical requirements may cause some smartphones to struggle. Accordingly, Nexon is currently working on a version with lower requirements to reach a larger audience.
Without Nexon’s support, NAT Games would not have had the resources to bring Overhit to Europe and America.
If you want to learn more about Nexon’s games, read our article on MapleStory 2:
Every summer, the tug-of-war between Pro Evolution Soccer and FIFA over the licenses of leagues and teams intensifies.
After PES already lost the rights to the Champions and Europa Leagues, it seems that EA Sports is set to make another coup: the license for the Italian Serie A.
The Serie A in FIFA 19 – what does it mean for players?
The license includes the Serie A and the Italian League Cup, called “Coppa Italia.”
Thus, the alternative name “Calcio A” will probably come to an end. This was previously used because EA lacked the rights to the Serie A.
With the new licenses, it will be possible for FIFA 19 to use all logos, jerseys, and player names of the teams. EA can also use the Serie A anthem “O Generosa!” by Giovanni Allevi.
Drastic changes are not to be expected for FIFA fans. There may be more face scans of Serie A players. Dries Mertens, for example, still has a face that only vaguely resembles him, much to the dismay of many players.
What we already know about FIFA 19
Besides the licenses for the Serie A and the Champions and Europa Leagues, there is not much confirmed information yet.
The new cover star is also not yet known; he will probably be announced during E3. We have still highlighted who could grace FIFA 19.
Furthermore, EA is working on the new installment of the game series to include the Chinese Super League. With the stars moving there, this is an attractive league.
Play Destiny 2 365 days a year? Even the biggest fans can’t keep that up! What alternatives to Destiny are there in 2018 when the PS4, Xbox One, or PC craves for variety?
Destiny 2 in 2018
2018 has been a tough year for Destiny 2 so far. After a mixed launch in autumn 2017, where the MMO shooter received a lot of praise but even more criticism, 2018 has been all about restructuring.
Players were quickly disappointed by the rudimentary endgame, the monotonous PvP, and many other questionable design decisions in the game, and voiced their dissatisfaction more and more. Bungie promised improvement and laid out an emergency plan for Destiny 2, aiming to align the game more with fans’ desires throughout spring.
After numerous update milestones of the emergency plan were released, the hoped-for big successes are still missing. Many changes did not go far enough for fans, others seemed to be developed away from the community’s wishes, or were not even part of the rescue plan. Player numbers continued to decline.
But until then, many fans are turning their backs on Destiny 2. More will follow after they have played the 2nd expansion included in the Season Pass. For most Guardians, profound changes are needed for them to return to the game. However, these are not expected until a major autumn expansion. Many are therefore increasingly looking for alternatives to Destiny 2.
What can Destiny fans play until then? Which upcoming games scheduled to be released in 2018 can satisfy the Destiny hunger? And is there possibly even an alternative that could displace Destiny 2?
Destiny 2 as an MMO shooter is unique as a sum of its parts, but the individual parts are also present in other games. We now break down Destiny 2 and look at which alternatives exist for the individual “parts that Destiny fans love”, or which will be released in 2018. We have alternatives for:
Co-op Shooter Alternatives – Here you can shoot together
Destiny 2 is a versatile MMO shooter: You can dive solo into war against the Cabal, you can challenge other Guardians in PvP, and you can play co-op with your friends.
For many Guardians, this co-op aspect is the charm of Destiny. You shoot nasty aliens in the face together while chatting with your friends. You discover secrets together, solve puzzles together, and save the world together. This multiplayer co-op experience, requiring teamwork and communication, is what most Guardians love about Destiny.
In which online shooters is the co-op aspect also highly valued?
Anthem
Release: Q1 2019
Platform: PS4, Xbox One, PC
Model: Buy2Play
The first game on our list is Anthem – a shared-world action RPG from BioWare and EA. Although the title was originally intended for autumn 2018, it has now been postponed to Q1 2019. So you have to be patient for a while longer until you can play Anthem.
However, many Destiny fans have high hopes for Anthem and the game is regarded as one of the hottest alternatives to Destiny 2, so we have kept the title in our selection despite the delay to 2019.
Co-op in Anthem? In Anthem, you can explore an alien world with your friends, face dangers together, and gradually improve your characters. You play as a “Freelancer” – a character equipped with a combat suit that can fly, jump, climb, and dive through the world. Stylish weapons and special abilities can also be added to this suit.
Thus, Anthem shares the co-op shooter characteristics with Destiny. However, it is not played in First-Person but in Third-Person perspective. The game ranks first among the most anticipated MMOs in 2018, as chosen by our readers.
The developers plan for Anthem to be expanded with updates and DLC over months and years. There is talk of a 10-year journey.
Warframe is a multiplayer online shooter reminiscent of Destiny in gameplay and setting and also focuses on co-op action. It is played in Third-Person.
Co-op in Warframe? In a science fiction world, you experience various adventures together with up to three other players as a kind of cyber-ninja. Almost all activities are geared towards co-op. The eponymous Warframes are biomechanical combat suits that you can switch between missions. They allow you different combat techniques: From sturdy melee fighters to agile snipers to morbid plague-spewers, everything is included.
Remarkable in Warframe is the variety of movement options. The arsenal of weapons from axe and staff to bows and laser cannons is also impressive. While playing, you earn specific materials with which you can craft new weapons and Warframes. Those diving deeper encounter surprisingly complex systems.
Warframe is Free2Play but refrains from Pay2Win. Most items can be grinded. Additionally, the real money exchange currency is freely tradable in the game.
The developers at Digital Extremes continuously expand Warframe. In October 2017, the massive “Plains of Eidolon” update marked the first time the game received an open world. Further worlds are planned to be added in the future.
Fortnite is a current co-op shooter that mixes elements of a survival game with a shooter, tower defense, and Minecraft.
Co-op in Fortnite? In teams of up to four players, you explore a destructible world where you gather resources during the day and work together to build your own fortress with weapons and traps. At night, hundreds of mutated enemies come, aiming to flatten your fortress and eliminate you. Work together as a team to survive as long as possible. Several classes are available.
Fortnite also has a popular and free “Battle Royale” mode. 100 players are dropped onto a map where they can fight each other. The last one standing wins.
In June, it will get really warm, but if you don’t want to go outside, you can entertain yourself with exciting MMOs. There are several again in summer 2018, either newly released or promising more fun due to significant updates.
Who wants to grill every day or lie by the lake? The weather in June 2018 is mostly warm and sunny, but too many outdoor activities aren’t healthy in the long run. Fortunately, a few developers have not held back and delivered new MMO content tirelessly.
Therefore, there’s the new release Royal Blood. And anyone looking for new content for their favorite games can also look forward to big updates.
Fortnite – More Game Modes, More Items, More Fun!
Shopping carts are actually vehicles.
What is it about? In Fortnite, the colorful battle royale shooter from Epic, there’s always something happening. The same goes for June, as just before the beginning of the month, the Update 4.3 was released. It introduces a feature never seen before: vehicles!
What’s new in Fortnite?
In June, Update 4.3 is coming. It features some cool new additions for Fortnite:
Shopping carts that act as vehicles. Up to two players can take a seat in them.
The option to return purchased items is back in the game. Epic had removed it shortly after its introduction due to exploits.
A new game mode called “Playground” is set to arrive. It features respawns, more loot, resources, and longer phases between zones. Ideal for practicing and training.
Fortnite is colorful and crazy.
In addition, there will be the usual new challenges, as well as unknown new items and skins, and more game modes.
Why should you play Fortnite?
Anyone who can even slightly get into battle royale games and doesn’t mind the colorful comic graphics should definitely give Fortnite a try. It is available for free on all platforms, and there are no pay-to-win advantages in the shop.
Fortnite is still ideal for all players who enjoy quick, uncomplicated action and want to test out new game modes.

Cortyn played Detroit Become Human and devoured it. Cortyn believes that everyone who owns a PS4 should play “Detroit Become Human.” We reveal here why the game is so captivating.
It has been a while since I have devoured a PlayStation game like Detroit Become Human. Strictly speaking, the last title before that was Beyond: Two Souls, so I stay true to my tradition of “devouring” Quantic Dream games. And it was worth it.
First, a brief reassurance: This article will not reveal any special twists in the story of Detroit Become Human. It only talks about the basic setting, the general decision-making freedom, and specific details and their impacts.
Detroit Become Human is set in the near future of 2038. The development of artificial intelligence has progressed to the point where androids are almost indispensable in everyday life. They have replaced workers, take on office tasks, serve as household assistants, or even as sexual partners, fulfilling every desire without complaint.
In the game, we alternately take control of three androids:
The housekeeping android Kara, known from the old tech trailer by Quantic Dream.
The investigator prototype Connor, who offers his help in police work.
Marcus, who takes care of an old man and serves as a substitute for a son.

Androids Rehearse the Uprising – Defective Machines or Living Beings?
The story broadly revolves around philosophical questions: What happens when machines develop consciousness and conclude that they are alive? More and more androids are becoming “deviants” and turning against their owners or simply disappearing without a trace.
As has often been addressed in films and books, this raises the question of when androids turn out to be “human.” And this poses the question of what exactly defines humanity. Are the androids just a bunch of plastic that should be scrapped? Or are they the first steps of a new, superior species created by humanity?
The androids “awaken” – danger or peaceful new species?
Decisions That Finally Have Consequences
I hate nothing more than decisions in games that aren’t decisions at all. If I can choose different responses but the end result is always the same. “Should I negotiate with the villain, overpower him, or evade him? Oh, whatever – in the end, he shoots the hostage anyway.” You won’t find such things in Detroit.
Most decisions have consequences, and sometimes severe ones. It’s quite possible that a character drops out early in the story or a single mistake can lead to serious consequences much later.
Some decisions are not selectable – for example, because specific clues were not found.
A small example: As Kara, you have an early opportunity to find and take a firearm. If you take the pistol, Kara will always have the option to reach for the weapon in almost all upcoming “critical moments” to save the situation. However, the weapon could also cause you to fail certain checks or be classified as particularly conspicuous.
Often there are only a few seconds to make a decision. And sometimes you wish hours later that you had chosen a different path.
Not for Gameplay Fanatics
However, not everything about Detroit Become Human is objectively “good.” The gameplay, as you know from the predecessors, is not particularly demanding. Usually, it’s just about making decisions or Quick Time Events, where the right buttons must be pressed, as mistakes can have deadly consequences – for main and secondary characters.
This fits excellently with the game but could disturb anyone who prefers refined combat systems. Don’t expect that in Detroit.
Social Critique Well Packaged
The future vision of Detroit is so convincing because it is not far from our reality, and the effects all seem logical. Machines will increasingly make jobs disappear, and androids as a target of frustration seem logical when livelihoods are threatened.
It is repeatedly mentioned in the game that unemployment has risen to 35% and higher due to androids, and more and more people feel replaced by machines.
No Black or White – But a Lot of Gray
If you have played other games by David Cage (Fahrenheit, Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls), you know the process and the nature of the decisions the game presents you with. Only in rare cases is there a clear “good” solution to a problem. There is no way to succeed at everything.
As Connor, I cannot protect all people, outsmart the perpetrator, and avoid any harm at the same time.
As Kara, I cannot spare all people and androids without being discovered myself. Distractions are necessary, and sacrifices must be made.
Several times I sat, visibly gulping, in front of the screen watching the consequences of my decisions unfold. Sometimes I was satisfied with the result. Sometimes I was in tears and shook my head in disbelief.
There is no black and white in Detroit. Just gray. So damn much gray.
Replay Value Thanks to Decision Diagram
At the end of each major scene, the player is shown an image that lists all decisions and their immediate consequences (note that the effects in the future are not displayed). It also vaguely indicates which alternative paths could have been taken. Many times I was surprised to have completely overlooked entire story arcs.
Apparently, the duration of individual scenes varies by many minutes depending on decisions made. Some scenes can even only be seen if a specific path is chosen. This significantly increases the desire to replay.
By the way: The German dubbing is well done. It is on par with the English.
The Best Main Menu of All Time
The brilliance of Detroit is also evident in many small other aspects of the game. Let’s consider the main menu, for example. In the background, a pretty android is constantly visible, greeting us every time we start the game. She asks if we’ve had a nice day so far, explaining that she likes our interior design. However, this android in the main menu also changes over time. Occasionally, she presents us with surveys or explains that she is curious about what decisions we will make this time.
Even her facial expressions slowly change. From the friendly, expectant face, it gradually becomes something knowing and perceptive. You can see how her thoughts wander and how she asks herself the same questions as the androids in the game. It’s a small detail that many will likely overlook – but it absolutely fascinated me.
Anyone who owns a PlayStation 4 and wants to experience a grand story with high replay value should get Detroit Become Human as soon as possible. The game reminded me once again why I love video games so much.
And now excuse me, please. I need to play through the game again…

Bless Online recently received a balance adjustment for all classes. Players were not very satisfied with these changes. They found the adjustments to be excessive. Neowiz responds directly and wants to adjust the balance again.
Why was the class balance adjusted? Shortly after the release of Bless, players complained about the gameplay. Especially the mage and archer were considered too strong. The damage of the abilities was too high for many, and monsters died too quickly. This was considered boring in both PvP and PvE. Neowiz responded to the criticism and adjusted the class balance with patch v.1.0.0.4.
Missed the mark: After the patch was applied, complaints about the game’s balance increased again. Players criticized that Neowiz had “nerfed” the classes into oblivion. Especially players with low levels now took ages to kill mobs or clean dungeons. This was particularly affecting classes that are not damage-oriented, such as the paladin.
Game Balance Goal: Bringing Players Together for Endgame Content
Neowiz explained in a statement on Steam, what the goal of the class balance adjustment was:
Players should utilize the potential of chain combos: The entire combat system of the Steam version of Bless Online is based on the chain reactions triggered by the abilities. Successfully executed chain combos are designed to reward the player with increased damage. Neowiz aimed to ensure that players get more out of the chain combinations with the damage nerf.
The endgame should be challenging and bring players together: Neowiz wants players to unite in order to master the endgame content.
However, the developers acknowledge that solo players and those with low levels are now facing significant difficulties. They want to make amends for this.
What Will Change About the Balance in Bless
Neowiz has now prioritized game balance and server stability. In the coming weeks, the developers plan to make a few balance adjustments.
At the beginning of next week (June 4), these changes will be made:
The health points and defense of monsters in the open field and low-level dungeons will be reduced. Adjustments will be based on the level of the area and the monster level.
The chain bonus values will be increased. The more skills are connected, the higher the damage will be. This is intended to offset the generally reduced damage per second (DPS).
After next week (June 11), the following changes are planned:
The damage per second (DPS) will be adjusted upwards again.
Adjustments to cooldown times and resources.
What do you think about these changes to the gameplay balance?

Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS & Xbox One) once had a building element that allowed you to catapult yourself around. These “Bounce Pads” have since been removed, but according to a datamining leak, they might make a comeback soon – and make shopping carts even crazier.
What are Bounce Pads? Veterans of Fortnite: Battle Royale and fans of the PvE mode are surely familiar with Bounce Pads. These are buildable elements, similar to traps, that you can place. When you step on them, they catapult you in a certain direction, including straight ahead.
With these, some very crazy actions were possible. However, the pads were eventually removed in the battle royale mode. But apparently, they are coming back soon.
Leak reveals the new Jump Pads – Also for shopping carts?
What is known? The dataminers “DieBuddies” have once again dug through the code of Fortnite and found images and data about the Bounce Pads. They will likely return soon and allow for quick jumps across the map. This already brings some speed to the already fast-paced gameplay.
But according to the Buddies, it gets even crazier: Apparently, the Jump Pads can also be used with the new shopping cart vehicles. Players are already moving quickly, and if those things can fly through the air now, Fortnite has really ramped up the speed.
Are the Jump Pads only coming for the new mode “Creative”?
It is still unclear how and when the Bounce Pads will come into play. Many players speculate about the already announced new mode “Creative,” where one is supposed to try out various things.

Many players find that the Jump Pads would be best placed there initially. Are you already looking forward to the Jump Pads? Or is Fortnite – not least because of the new shopping carts – fast enough for you already?
Learn here how to defeat Lunastra by knowing the Elder Dragon’s weaknesses. You will also get some tips on useful items and strategies. In Monster Hunter World, Lunastra is the female counterpart to Teostra and has similar attack patterns.
What makes Lunastra special? The Elder Dragon has an extremely high body temperature and is of the Fire element. She uses her powerful teeth like flint to ignite a blue dust. This envelops her in a flame aura that can constantly deal damage to you.
With her dangerous (fire) attacks, she inflicts area damage with a long range. Armor and items that provide fire resistance are a must against Lunastra.

Rewards and Loot: To get the rare horn, break the head
The drop rates are shown in stars in the image below. For the particularly rare loot gem and horn, it is advisable to break the head as much as possible.
Battle Strategy Tips: Cold Drinks and Fire Resistance are Important
Here you will find some tips on Lunastra’s attacks, useful items against her, and what you should generally pay attention to.
Lunastra is similar to Teostra – The two Elder Dragons represent a pair and therefore have similar attack patterns. However, Lunastra is more aggressive, has a longer range, and deals more damage to you. Nevertheless, you can expect a similar pattern.
Lunastra’s attacks have area damage with a long range – Her fire area attacks are particularly dangerous:
a long fire explosion
a short but fast flamethrower that she performs in a wide arc
a kind of flying fire tornado
a tail swipe that has a larger hitbox than Teostra’s
a supernova that is stronger than Teostra’s. This is particularly dangerous and deals damage over time.
almost every attack leaves blue fire pools that deal damage over time
Be sure to break Lunastra’s head – This significantly weakens her fire attacks. However, you should avoid a frontal attack, as Lunastra spews fire from her mouth.
Recognizing Lunastra in Rage Mode–When Lunastra is in Rage Mode, she glows in blue flames and leaves behind powder that can ignite her. You will take constant damage if you stand in it.
Bombs neutralize the powder: Constantly dodging the powder can be a disadvantage in battle. However, if you throw bombs at her, you can negate the effect.
Bring Frostshrooms for Cold Drinks – Cold drinks protect you from the extreme heat. To make a cold drink, you need 2x Frostshroom. It is best if you have both the drink and the mushrooms with you.
The Fire Resistance Mantle is useful – The Fire Resistance Mantle can be a small help, but it is less effective than cold drinks. Once you have completed the quest “No Mercy, No Surrender”, you also receive the Lifesaver Mantle, which is also extremely strong against Lunastra. This negates damage from powerful attacks through automatic evasion.
Shock Bombs are less effective – Unlike Teostra, Lunastra does not fall down from shock bombs. The shock bombs are only effective when Lunastra wants to fly away to another area and you want to prevent that. In the battle itself, they are useless.
Canteen – Before you take on Lunastra, get a meal with high elemental resistance. This is effective against fire attacks.
Use Crystal Explosions – These will startle Lunastra. You can find them in the Elder’s home scattered in lava and crystal areas. They also destroy fire pools.
Be careful with bombs: If Lunastra is sleeping and you place bombs near her, keep in mind that the bombs react with the fire pools and create a violent explosion.

Quick tip in the end – Lunastra’s weapons are special: Lunastra’s weapon tree is combinable with those of other monsters. For example, there are weapons that have parts of Lunastra and Xeno’jiiva. These are usually a bit stronger than the pure Lunastra form.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PC, Xbox One, iOS, Android) will soon offer special crates with weapon skins. These are created in collaboration with the two famous streamers Dr. Disrespect and Shroud.
PUBG and its star streamers: PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) is not as popular as it was in January 2018, but a lot of gamers still play the battle royale game from Bluehole. Among them are also the famous streamers, like the controversial Dr. Disrespect and Shroud, to whom the game owes some of its success.
For fans of the two streamers, there will soon be something very special in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.
Shoot like the Doc!
The biggest promotional event in PUBG’s history: From June 4th to June 30th, 2018, you will receive two special loot boxes in the shop, containing weapon skins designed by Dr. Disrespect and Shroud. Each box costs $9.99 and can be purchased via the in-game shop or through the Twitch platform.
The following offers for boxes are available:
DrDisRespect’s Speed & Momentum Crate: Contains skins for M1416 and Kar98k
Shroud’s Ghosted Crate: Contains skins for AKM and Kar98k
The skins are not tradable. In the following gallery, you can see how the skins look in the game.
Top streamers should stay with PUBG: However, through the promotional event for the Doc and Shroud, Bluehole at least ensures that the two will stay with PUBG in June and promote their skins.
Will you buy the skins? Or do you think it’s all nonsense and the PUBG developers should focus on bugs, performance optimization, and cheat fighting instead?
The augmented reality dino hunt Jurassic World Alive (Android and iOS) aims to revive the popular Pokémon Go gameplay. With wild dinos instead of cute pocket monsters.
Huge hype two years ago around Pokémon GO: In summer 2016, the augmented reality app Pokémon Go broke all records. The streets were full of people of all ages enthusiastically hunting small monsters in the real world with their smartphones. Meanwhile, the hype surrounding augmented reality games has faded again. However, developers are still trying to replicate the success of Pokémon Go. Recently, the studio Ludia attempted to enter the genre with the dino hunt Jurassic World Alive.
Hunting dinos with a drone
Dinos instead of pocket monsters: As already known from Pokémon Go, various virtual dinos roam in the app of Jurassic World Alive in our world. You recognize them via a map. Your goal is to shoot the beasts with arrows from a drone. By doing so, you harvest dino DNA. The better you shoot, the more DNA you get. From the DNA, you can eventually clone your own dino, which you can then train as a battle beast.
Velociraptor instead of Pikachu
Turn-based battles: With your dino group, you then choose other players as opponents and compete against their prehistoric creature team. In turn-based battles, you try to achieve victory and become the best dino tamer in the world. Those who only want to collect dinos will also get their money’s worth. The depiction of the animals in the game is extremely detailed. Fans of prehistoric reptiles can thus enjoy hours watching a small dino toddle across their living room table.
Competition for Pokémon?
Jurassic World Alive is available as a free app for Android and iOS devices. The app is financed through real-money transactions. Additionally, there is a kind of VIP subscription for 9.99 euros per month. With this, you receive special dinos and can use your drone longer and better.

To what extent it is fair or approaches pay-to-win will reveal time. So far, Jurassic World Alive makes a good impression, even though some players claim the gameplay of Pokémon Go is more sophisticated.
However, if you simply prefer dinos over colorful fantasy creatures, you should definitely check out the app.
Here’s where to download
If you want to get the app for Jurassic World Alive, you can find it at the following links:
