The World Cup Icons: Familiar Faces and Four New Additions

Brand new icons were promised, and we are getting four of them. This includes the German World Cup record goalscorer Miroslav Klose.

These icons will be included in the World Cup mode:

  • Pelé, Brazil
  • Diego Maradona, Argentina
  • Ronaldo, Brazil
  • Lev Yashin, Russia
  • Thierry Henry, France
  • Lothar Matthäus, Germany
  • Bobby Moore, England (New)
  • Gary Lineker, England (New)
  • Carles Puyol, Spain
  • Ronaldinho, Brazil
  • Laurent Blanc, France
  • Jay-Jay Okocha, Nigeria
  • Rui Costa, Portugal
  • Deco, Portugal
  • Luis Hernández, Mexico
  • Miroslav Klose, Germany (New)
  • Hidetoshi Nakata, Japan (New)

The faces already known from the regular FUT mostly retain the rating of their Prime card. This has led to discussions in the FIFA community about whether Luis Hernandez (90) really deserves a higher rating than Miroslav Klose (87).

The World Cup Menu and Game Modes

The trailer also shows the menu. The following game modes are depicted:

  • Single Player Tournament
  • Online Tournament
  • Single Player Draft
  • Online Draft
  • Squad Building Challenges

This indicates that the SBCs are separate from the regular FUT and there will be dedicated World Cup SBCs. Thus, duplicates can likely be utilized, as there is no transfer market in World Cup mode where you could list duplicate players.

Another screenshot from the trailer shows a screen depicting Spain as the tournament winner along with three packs as rewards. This suggests that we will receive sets as rewards for tournament victories, perhaps even for individual games.

fifa-18-world-cup-menü

What exactly happens in the World Cup mode?

In FIFA 18, you can replay the World Cup in Russia with the World Cup mode. You can also organize your own tournaments or play a simple kickoff match with all licensed stadiums and national teams.

Big things are also expected for FUT 18: New icons, dynamic items, and various World Cup modes like SBCs, drafts, or tournaments will come to Ultimate Team.

The system is similar to that in the World Cup mode of FIFA 14:

  • The coins are valid across modes, there is only one account for the “normal” FUT mode as well as the World Cup mode
  • For every pack you buy in World Cup mode, you will receive one in the “normal” mode
  • There is no transfer market; players can only be picked or obtained via SBCs
  • The chemistry system is different: Nationality and continental affiliation count instead of club, league, and nationality

A small change will make PvP fairer in WoW, kill multi-boxers

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

PvP has always been a part of World of Warcraft. In Battle for Azeroth, the War Mode replaces open PvP. With a small change, Blizzard ensures more fairness: They want to put a stop to multiboxers.

No /follow in War Mode possible: Those in WoW: Battle for Azeroth who are in War Mode can no longer automatically follow another character using the /follow command. This aims to prevent multiboxing.

What is Multiboxing? Multiboxing refers to a player controlling multiple accounts simultaneously. The player runs World of Warcraft on multiple monitors with several accounts at the same time (in “multiple boxes”).

To make this work correctly, they only control one character themselves, while the others /follow the leader. The spells are bound to the same key, so that all characters can cast their attacks simultaneously. This way, 10 or more mages can easily attack a target at the same time.

wow multiboxing gnome screenshot mage mash
Multiboxers are often recognized by identical clothing and similar names. Image source: Mudgem’s Mage Mash.

The War Mode is the new Open PvP: In Battle for Azeroth, PvP servers are being eliminated. Instead, players who want to fight can activate War Mode. In this, they are placed into a phase with other players in War Mode, essentially a PvP phase. While this is riskier, it also brings 10% increased rewards from quests.

More on the topic
The war mode in WoW replaces the PvP servers – and that’s a good thing!
von Cortyn

Multiboxing is very interesting for Open PvP, and it would have been for War Mode as well. Anyone running around the world with 10 or more characters is difficult to stop. With the deactivation of the /follow function in War Mode, Blizzard puts a stop to that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6T4Hvgowjo

The community is divided: Multiboxing is a controversial topic in the community. Some players see it as a challenge to take down a multiboxer. Others find the behavior annoying and believe it takes away from others’ enjoyment. Still, others say it is part of the game – those who pay should also be allowed to play.

Blizzard has tolerated multiboxing so far. However, with the deactivation of the /follow function in War Mode, multiboxers in Battle for Azeroth must come up with other methods or stop multiboxing altogether.

Top games April 2018: Fortnite and God of War dominate, GTA V declines

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

The most successful games in April 2018 are clear. Which games have made the most money on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Mobile? We’re talking about titles like Fortnite, God of War, Hearthstone, and GTA V Online.

Digital revenues are growing: The site Superdata reports every month on how the global digital games market is evolving. So how much money is being made through digital platforms? Here we don’t account for retail sales, but rather transactions over the PS Store, Steam, or the Xbox Store. In April 2018, the market grew by 23% compared to 2017. Consumers worldwide spent $9.09 billion on games.

Superdata-April2018

PC: Hearthstone is back, Far Cry 5 is out

How does it look on PC? There hasn’t been much change on the PC. League of Legends has regained its place in the sun. In March, LoL was briefly ousted by Dungeon Fighter Online, which had special promotions running. Now, LoL is back again.

Also back is “Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft”: Blizzard’s card game had long been missing from the top 10, but with the new expansion “Witchwood” it has now returned to 7th place. Witchwood launched on April 12. Hearthstone takes the place of Far Cry 5, which is leaving the top 10 on PC. PUBG has also fallen slightly, going from 7th in March to 9th now. Fortnite maintains its 5th place.

god of war 4 2

How do PS4 and Xbox One look?

God of War is here: God of War enters the consoles at 2nd place, being a pure exclusive title for the PS4. Kratos has broken all records and achieved the “largest console launch of an exclusive title of all time.” It is estimated that it has sold 2.1 million units since launch – solely in digital units. That’s double what Uncharted 4 sold.

von Sven Galitzki

Fortnite is booming, GTA V is going back: Fortnite has earned $296 million across all platforms. This is huge and brings it to 1st place on consoles – just like in March. Fortnite is likely also responsible for the gradual end of Grand Theft Auto V’s winning streak. There, revenues are declining after a long period of growth. GTA V drops from rank 5 to 6. Far Cry 5 is taking a deeper dive, going from 2nd in March to 5th now.

Monster-Hunter-World-Sakura1

Monster Hunter World and Sea of Thieves are saying goodbye

Monster Hunter World is out: The time in the top 10 is over for Monster Hunter World for now. Without microtransactions, the era of Monster Hunter World as one of the 10 most successful games on the digital market is over. In return, Ghost Recon Wildlands and Battlefield 1 are back. Games like Madden NFL 18 and the likely short-lived Sea of Thieves are out.

Sea of Thieves PC Alpha

Mobile is dominated by Honour of Kings

What’s up with Mobile? In Mobile, the “LoL-Mobile” variant, Honour of Kings, is still high up. They have snuggled into the top of the mobile charts. With $185 million, they earned even more than in March. Honour of Kings is known locally as “Arena of Valor” and is of course planning a battle royale variant.

Destiny 2: So geht die Stress-Quest um Weltlinie Null weiter

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

The Worldline Zero presented the Guardians in Destiny 2 with a puzzle last week. It took a long time for fans to figure out what the first step of the sword on the way to the exotic masterpiece looks like. Now fans have also mastered the second step. This is how the mammoth task continues.

The first step was challenging: Last week, fans randomly discovered what the first step for the masterpiece upgrade of the Worldline Zero looks like. You had to hit the final boss after the seventh wave of the Escalation Protocol with the exotic sword as soon as its shield was down.

This rewarded you with 20% progress in leveling the catalyst and additionally a special item – the “Worldline Ideasthesia: Anarkhiia”. This was one of five items from the Worldline Ideasthesia series discovered in the Destiny 2 database.

Players had a theory: Fans then speculated that the progress of the masterpiece upgrade was linked to the five bosses of the Escalation Protocol. From each boss, there should be an item that grants a further 20% progress, provided you hit the boss with the special attack of the sword.

This theory now seems to be confirmed.

destiny_2_Kriegsgeist_escalation_protocol

Step 2 on the Path to the Masterpiece of Worldline Zero

Once again it’s Escalation Protocol: To achieve further progress in leveling the catalyst, you must dive into the new PvE event this week. Again, you need to fight your way through to the final boss and this time hit him with the Tesseract attack of the Worldline Zero.

von Sven Galitzki

Hit Correctly: It’s important that you hit the current end boss at its weak spot on the back (protrusion) – otherwise, no progress will be made! This sounds easier than it actually is – depending on the course of the battle, it may require numerous attempts to hit the weak spot correctly.

If you hit the boss correctly, you will receive the second item from the Worldline Ideasthesia series – the “Worldline Ideasthesia: Cavalry”. At the same time, progress increases by another 20%. If you were also successful last week, you are now at a total of 40% of the task.

The fans’ theory seems to be coming true: It is evident that during the quest, it is indeed about hitting each of the five weekly rotating final bosses at the respective weak spot with the Tesseract move of the exotic sword. This rewards you with another item from the Worldline Ideasthesia series and each provides 20% progress.

What’s next? If the system is maintained, you should reach 100% of the task after defeating five different bosses. Whether there will be another step afterwards is still unknown. Like with the Polaris Lance quest, this task is tied to a time lock. The first Guardians can obtain the masterpiece version of the Worldline Zero in about two and a half weeks.

Pokémon GO: These Alola Pokémon could become important attackers

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 4 minutes

In Pokémon GO will soon have Alolan forms from the Kanto region available. Keep an eye on these, they could become important attackers.

A few days ago, Niantic announced that Alolan forms will be activated in Pokémon GO. These are unique variants of different species that you can then collect. But are they all equally good? Are there stronger ones to look out for, and weaker ones that can be ignored?

Alolan Pokémon as Attackers or Defenders? These are strong

With the new forms, players in the community have taken a closer look. Nick from the YouTube channel Trainer Tips and the experts from Gamepress explain which Alolan forms have the potential to become meta-relevant. They paid attention to the change in types and possible new moves.

New stats such as Max CP were calculated based on the typical Pokémon GO formula, which has also been used to integrate other monsters from the main games into the mobile game. This is an initial assessment of the Alolan forms that have a lot of potential in Pokémon GO.

Alolan Golem

Max CP? The Golem in its Alolan form will likely reach a maximum of 2916 CP in Pokémon GO.

Differences to the Kanto form: It differs from its Kanto form in its types. Instead of Rock and Ground, Alolan Golem is Rock and Electric type. This means it is no longer doubly weak to Grass or Water attacks.

What is it good for? It will be an even better counter against Ho-Oh because it is no longer completely destroyed by Solar Beam. It also has better chances against Ice type raid bosses. If it can learn Thunder Punch, it would likely be the best non-legendary Electric attacker. However, it is not as strong as Raikou or Zapdos.

Alolan Exeggutor

Sugimori_103a
Source: Pokewiki

Max CP? In its Alolan form, Exeggutor will likely reach a maximum of 2881 CP in Pokémon GO.

Differences to the Kanto form: Its types change from Grass and Psychic to Grass and Dragon. Its stats change slightly with reduced attack and higher speed. This makes Alolan Exeggutor slightly weaker than its Kanto form. However, if it can learn new moves like Seed Bomb, it could become stronger. This could even make it a better attacker than Venusaur with Solar Beam in some situations.

What is it good for? If the Alolan form of Exeggutor can learn new moves, it would become more relevant in the meta. If not, it falls behind the Kanto form and Venusaur. As a Dragon attacker, Alolan Exeggutor cannot compete with the top tier.

But just because of its funny appearance with a huge neck, you should definitely keep an Alolan Exeggutor in your collection.

Alolan Ninetales

Alolan Ninetales

Max CP? Alolan Ninetales will likely reach a maximum of 2184 CP in Pokémon GO.

Differences to the Kanto form: Instead of Fire, Alolan Ninetales belongs to the types Ice and Fairy.

What is it good for? The Alolan form of Ninetales is only among the best attackers in very specific situations. The types Ice and Fairy are both very effective against Dragon. It would do well with two Ice moves as an attacker against Dragon Pokémon like Rayquaza, which are particularly weak to Ice and use Dragon moves themselves. Its resistance to Dragon moves makes it a good choice – The attack stats of Alolan Ninetales are not among the top tier.

Alolan Muk

Alolan Muk
Source: Pokewiki

Max CP? The Alolan form of Muk will likely reach a maximum of 2709 CP in Pokémon GO.

Differences to the Kanto form: Instead of just Poison, Alolan Muk belongs to the types Poison and Dark.

What is it good for? Due to its types and stats, Alolan Muk is less suitable as an attacker but rather as a gym defender. It is only weak against Ground type attackers, of which there are not many good ones in the current meta. The Alolan form makes it resistant to Psychic, Ghost, and Dark, but it has problems with fighting attackers like Machamp.

The unique colors make Alolan Muk a standout everywhere. It’s worth catching!

And what about the rest?

According to the analysis from Gamepress and the assessments from Trainer Tips, the other Pokémon are potentially less relevant in Pokémon GO. Unless Niantic fundamentally reworks the battle system, there is currently little use for these Alolan forms.

But they do look cool.

Pokémon GO Alola Forms

Keep in mind that it heavily depends on which moves the Alolan Pokémon can ultimately master in Pokémon GO. This will determine how effective they are as attackers for raids. As soon as there are any updates about this, the ranking with the best attackers could change again.

What are these forms anyway? Everything we know so far about the Alolan forms for Pokémon GO is here

Call of Duty: Someone died because of their $2 bet, now 20 years in prison are threatened

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In a swatting incident related to Call of Duty, U.S. federal authorities are now charging three men. They face significant prison sentences.

Swatting after Christmas: We have reported on the swatting incident in Wichita several times on Mein MMO. On December 28, 2017, an innocent person was shot by a police officer. The police were dispatched following a swatting call. The incident has now taken a new turn, nearly five months later.

Players remained unharmed until May – Not anymore

Only one in prison so far: The person who made the swatting call has been in custody for quite some time: Tyler Barriss (25) is awaiting his charges in a prison in Kansas. He has confessed to making the phone call.

The two Call of Duty players, whose dispute triggered the swatting incident, had remained unharmed until now. That changed in May 2018. According to the Los Angeles Times, federal authorities intervened last Wednesday and are charging all three men.

cod_ww2

Players aged 18 and 19 made a bet: The two Call of Duty players are Casey Viner (18) and Shane Gaskill (19). They were in a Call of Duty match together and got into a dispute. The dispute was reportedly over a $2 bet. That’s about 1 Euro and 70 cents.

“Try something”: Gaskill posted an address and essentially urged Viner to “Try something.” The address was a house in Wichita where Gaskill had previously lived. Viner was unaware of that. Viner then asked Tyler Barriss to initiate the swatting call and send the police after Gaskill. Barriss did so and feigned an emergency during a call. He posed as a hostage taker.

Officer shot innocent man: The police arrived at the given address and shot 28-year-old Andrew Finch during the operation. The local authority’s investigation determined that no charges would be filed against the officer. This was the first incident where someone died as a result of swatting.

Allegations: The three men are accused of having deleted communications when they realized someone had been killed. Viner is said to have reset his iPhone and deleted data, it is reported.

Prison

20 years in prison face the two Call of Duty players

The charges:

  • Tyler Barriss is charged with making a false report to an emergency service. He is also charged with cyberstalking, threatening calls, and six counts of “wired fraud.” Additionally, he is charged with conspiracy to make false statements. Furthermore, he is facing charges of involuntary manslaughter in Kansas.
  • Gaskill and Viner are charged with wire fraud, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy to obstruct justice. Viner also faces an additional charge of conspiracy to make false statements.

The penalties: The prosecutors say, according to the LA Times,

  • that Tyler Barriss could face life imprisonment for cyberstalking and his calls.
  • Viner and Gaskill could face up to 20 years in prison for obstruction of justice.

New game Earthfall mixes Left 4 Dead with the PvE part of Fortnite

Micha Deckert Micha Deckert Reading time 2 minutes

The end-of-the-world shooter Earthfall will soon leave Early Access on Steam. The co-op game, reminiscent of Left 4 Dead in its four-player action, also incorporates the base-building from Fortnite’s “Save the World” mode.

The co-op shooter Earthfall has received a release date. On July 13th, the game will leave Early Access on Steam and be released as a full version. This co-op game for up to four players is heavily inspired by Left 4 Dead but features aliens as enemies instead of zombies.

In addition to PC, Earthfall will also be released for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles.

Current alternative for Left 4 Dead?

What is Earthfall? Earthfall is an end-of-the-world shooter in which up to four players fight for survival. The game is heavily based on Valve’s Left 4 Dead but uses aliens as enemies instead of zombies.

Additionally, the base-building of Fortnite’s “Save the World” mode is included. During the missions, bases must be built, fortified, and defended.

Earthfall characters

What does Earthfall offer? The shooter is entirely focused on co-op with up to three teammates; currently, there are no other modes. In Earthfall, you will fight through ten missions spanning two separate campaigns. The following should be offered to you:

  • Four different characters with unique personalities
  • Drop-in, drop-out multiplayer: teammates can join or leave the missions at any time. Missing team members will be replaced by bots
  • Level objectives that are to be connected with a story and a deep lore
  • Powerful weapons, barricades, or turrets that can not only be found but also printed at 3D printers distributed throughout the game world

The price for Earthfall in its current Early Access on Steam is still €14.99, but it is expected to rise to €29.99 afterward. Additionally, a Deluxe Edition is planned for €39.99, which will include exclusive Hazmat outfits and weapon skins.

Whether the price also applies to the console version is still unknown.

Hunting for the Polaris Lance in Destiny 2: Here’s how to complete Step 3

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

With the Weekly Reset on May 22, the third part of “Incoming Twilight” was unlocked in Destiny 2. This questline takes Guardians to the exotic scout rifle from Ana Bray. We will show you what you need to do to get one step closer to the Polaris Lance this week.

It was already clear last week: The coveted exotic scout rifle from Ana Bray – the Polaris Lance – is hidden behind a time lock. Week by week, another of the five quest steps is unlocked, bringing fans closer to the exotic weapon.

This week, players now have the opportunity to complete the third part of “Incoming Twilight”. What do you have to do for it? And what awaits the players at the end of the third quest part?

Incoming Twilight 3/5 – The Path to the Polaris Lance

To master this week’s step of the questline, Guardians once again need to complete several tasks.

Complete ten waves of the Escalation Protocol: As with the quest for the Sleeper Simulant, it is sufficient to successfully finish the first wave of the Escalation Protocol ten times. According to player reports, however, it also counts if you complete all seven consecutive waves of the Escalation Protocol along with the final boss. Then this step should also be considered completed. If you consider that the easier way, you can save three levels here.

Complete three Vanguard Strikes: This step is self-explanatory. Heroic Strikes and the Nightfall also count. This way, you can kill several birds with one stone.

Activate the Sleeper Node in Olympus Descent: Head to Olympus Descent on Mars. Activate the corresponding node there. You can find the position in the image.

Destiny 2 ND Part 3 Sleeper Node Position

After that, return to Ana and activate the third terminal with the found datasets.

Destiny 2 Lanze Prototyp

The Reward: As a reward for completing the third quest step, you will receive a masterwork version of the Braytech RWP MK. II scout rifle, which you already obtained upon successful completion of Part 2 of the Incoming Twilight.

If you have completed this task, it is now time to wait for the next reset on May 29.

Fortnite player says “My dad works for Sony”, gets banned

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

A PS4 player in Fortnite was banned from the PlayStation Network by Sony after he wrote in a chat message, “Bahaha my dad works for Sony and will ban you.” It was meant as a joke that Sony apparently did not understand.

Good sniper kill: As Segment Next reports, the player, Hamed Jalalie, made a really good kill with a sniper in Fortnite. He eliminated an opponent at over 260m in Fortnite Battle Royale on the PlayStation 4.

Fortnite-Android

Poor loser: The defeated player then contacted the sniper via PSN and accused Hamed of being a hacker. He said he would report him directly to developer Epic Games to get him banned.

Joke backfires: The sniper then replied via PSN: “Bahahahahahahaha my dad works at Sony he will get u banned” – translated, “My dad works at Sony and will make sure you get banned.” The shooter referenced an old meme from the Xbox 360 days.

Meme-Xbox-360

Backfires: But in fact, the shooter was banned from the PlayStation Network because of this statement. The user received an email from Sony stating, “Your account will be permanently banned.” The ban resulted from this exchange with the person who accused him of being a hacker. According to Sony’s rules, it is strictly prohibited to impersonate a Sony employee or to claim influence over a Sony employee. This ban cannot be lifted and is permanent.

Fortnite-Golden

Sony takes this seriously: Apparently, Sony is not familiar with this old meme that refers to sore losers, of kids threatening their dads when things don’t go their way. Sony shows zero tolerance when it comes to enforcing this “Do not impersonate Sony employees” rule. So, one should be careful about what they chat online.

After 17 years, the MMORPG Runescape Classic is shutting down

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Jagex has announced that it will close Runescape Classic this coming August. Runescape Classic is the original version of the MMORPG, which has existed for 17 years.

The End of Runescape Classic

What versions of Runescape are there? There are three versions of Runescape.

  • Runescape – This is the “regular” version that is continually updated and expanded with new content and gameplay changes.
  • Runescape Classic – A rather old version of the game that hasn’t received updates in a long time and is mostly played by veterans.
  • Old School Runescape – A version that was launched in 2013 at the urging of fans. Old School is a copy of Runescape from its early days, but it continues to receive updates, which are approved by the veterans beforehand.
    Runescape-Screen

Classic version is being discontinued. Jagex has now announced that Runescape Classic will be discontinued in August. The other two versions will remain available. The reason given is that the Classic version is based on outdated technology that, among other things, facilitates bot attacks. The security of players cannot be ensured anymore in Runescape Classic. Furthermore, it has long been impossible to register for this version, and the player numbers are declining.

Additionally, the version can no longer be supported by the team due to time constraints, leading to an accumulation of bugs that may even result in the game becoming unplayable. Therefore, the team saw no option but to shut down Runescape Classic.

When will the servers go offline? Jagex states that the operation of Runescape Classic will be “phased out” over the coming months. The servers will be shut down on August 6.

The developers at Jagex are currently working on a new MMORPG.

Dieser PS4-Controller ist ideal für Eure Trick-Bauten in Fortnite!

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

The peripheral lineup for the PS4 expands in summer 2018. The custom manufacturer SCUF introduces a licensed, customizable alternative to Sony’s DualShock 4 controller.

With the SCUF Vantage, the PS4 will receive another licensed controller in summer 2018 – initially only in the USA and Canada. The new Vantage is aimed primarily at players looking for a high-quality input device with customizable buttons and functions.

Such features are particularly popular in competitive shooters. However, in titles such as Fortnite or Elite Dangerous, the SCUF Vantage can certainly make life easier for players. Various complex functions that usually require several hand movements or button combinations can thus be assigned to a single button.

For example, building with the standard PS4 controller in Fortnite can quickly become cumbersome. The fingers need to switch rapidly between buttons. With the Vantage, you can conveniently assign such functions to a single button or paddle. Complicated constructions become much simpler.

SCUF Vantage for PS4

SCUF PS4 Module

Performance, ergonomics, and maximum customization are clearly the focus of the new PS4 input device.

The SCUF Vantage gamepad offers the following features:

  • Additional side-mounted Sax buttons on the right and left. These buttons are optimized for natural finger positioning and provide additional configuration options for the player
  • Removable front plate. This feature facilitates the swapping of thumb sticks and further personalization of the controller
  • Advanced audio control system (wired connection required). An additional touchpad allows for volume adjustment without needing to take your hands off the gamepad
  • Removable vibration modules. Players can reduce the weight of the Vantage and minimize hand fatigue
SCUF PS4 Back

Additionally, the modular design of the controller offers a whole range of optional components. These parts are designed to optimize the input device’s customization to the player’s individual needs. This should help minimize hand and finger movements.

The following modules are included with the SCUF Vantage:

  • Paddle system with up to four removable paddle switches on the back of the controller
  • A quick-access switch for remapping
  • Customizable thumb sticks in three different heights and either concave or convex design
  • Adjustable trigger buttons
  • Trigger stop limiters and trigger extensions
  • Various D-pads
  • Swapable magnetic front plate
SCUF PS4 SET

Price, pre-order, and release date: The SCUF Vantage will be released in summer 2018. A more specific release date has not yet been announced.

The controller can already be pre-ordered on the official SCUF manufacturer website and on the US GameStop website. It is still unknown if and when this input device can be regularly pre-ordered and purchased in Europe.

There are two different versions of the Vantage:

  • SCUF Vantage with fixed cable for 169.95 USD
  • SCUF Vantage Wireless Bluetooth/optional cable for 199.95 USD

Both models include a range of interchangeable parts and a high-speed micro-USB cable. The wireless model comes with an additional protective cover for the controller.

The gamepad is currently still in development. Some functions and features may still change.

Fortnite Guide: How to Use the New Jetpack to Your Advantage

Robert Albrecht Robert Albrecht Reading time 2 minutes

Since the last content update 4.2, players can find the Jetpack in Fortnite: Battle Royale – a backpack item that can take players to great heights. However, the Jetpack has its quirks. With our guide, you’ll always be on top.

What hasn’t Epic done to take Fortnite: Battle Royale to new heights? The building mode, pocket fortresses, and impulse grenades are just some of the ways to get into the air and outsmart opponents waiting for them on the ground.

The Jetpack introduced a new item that, while it occupies a valuable slot in your inventory, is extremely useful when used correctly. After a few rounds with the rocket backpack, I’m inclined to say: It’s a pity that the backpack is only available for a limited time!

Jetpack-Fortnite

How do I find the Jetpack? The Jetpack is of legendary rarity (orange) and therefore rare to find. Even in the currently ongoing “Pure Gold 2.0” mode, I could only rarely find the Jetpack – although all found items are of legendary quality.

In the normal modes, you will have to play a few rounds before you get the chance to try out the toy. But hang in there: It’s worth it!

How does the Jetpack work? Once you find the Jetpack, you need to pick it up like any item. Unfortunately, the backpack occupies a valuable space in your inventory. However, this disadvantage is outweighed by significantly better mobility in the vertical. Once you jump, you can gain altitude by holding the jump button.

But beware: The Jetpack can overheat and stop working. The consequence: you fall to your death. Really. The internet is overflowing with videos of players pushing their Jetpack beyond its limits. Care for a sample?

That it can be done differently is once again proven by the streamer Ninja, who performs impressive actions with the Jetpack:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HwZtj_AMbM

What else is the Jetpack good for? Mainly to surprise opponents who have entrenched themselves in fortifications. Just land in the base with a Jetpack and clean up.

In fact, the backpack is also good for saving resources. Because every free fall can be cushioned with the Jetpack so that you take no damage. This is extremely useful for players who favor the “Stairway to heaven” tactic. With this tactic, gigantic stairs are built into the sky to take opponents out from the air. Those with a Jetpack no longer need to fear the inevitable fall into death if the ground is blasted away from under their feet.

Pokémon GO: In June you will be frostily rewarded for field research

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

In June, the rewards for field research in Pokémon GO rotate again. You can expect a familiar legendary monster.

For your research breakthroughs in Pokémon GO, you will be rewarded with special monster encounters. So far, you were able to catch Lavados and Zapdos.

The assumptions are true: Players had previously suspected that after Zapdos and Lavados, Articuno would also return as a reward. As Niantic now explains, that is correct.

Articuno as a reward in June

Since the introduction of research in Pokémon GO, trainers can earn a stamp of field research daily. If you collect seven stamps, a reward awaits you. In April it was Lavados, in May it’s Zapdos and in June you will be rewarded with the legendary ice and flying Pokémon Articuno for a research breakthrough.

articuno

When do the new researches start? Starting from June 1st at 1:00 PM PDT (which is 10:00 PM German time), new field researches will be unlocked. These will have the theme “Water”. In the in-game announcement, Niantic explains that Pokémon like Krabby, Kingler, and Seel will be highlighted. These will likely be part of the new tasks or perhaps even the rewards.

What comes after Articuno? The community continues to assume that the rewards for research breakthroughs change monthly. So there should be a new reward again in July. Whether it continues with Entei, Suicune, and Raikou is still unclear.

Anyone who doesn’t have a Zapdos should hurry

If you haven’t reached a research breakthrough in May yet and really want a Zapdos, you should hurry. There are only a few days left until Zapdos as a reward disappears again. It is unclear when the Pokémon will return to Pokémon GO and how long it will last.

What’s included in the World Cup mode for FIFA 18

From EA’s announcement about the World Cup mode, a lot can already be inferred.

All 32 qualified national teams along with their players will be included, and the 12 Russian stadiums will be fully licensed. There will also be the official match ball, jerseys, and other World Cup elements like team banners.

Additionally, there are various game modes:

  • 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia: Here you can choose one of the 32 teams and replay a World Cup – up to the final in Moscow.
  • Custom FIFA World Cup Tournament: Create your own World Cup tournament with all licensed national teams, including Italy, the Netherlands, or the USA.
  • FIFA World Cup Kickoff: Normal offline kickoff mode with all teams and stadiums.

This is how the World Cup works in Ultimate Team mode

Of course, what’s most important must not be missing: The “FIFA World Cup Ultimate Team” mode:

  • There will be brand new, playable icons in the World Cup mode (including Miroslav Klose).
  • The chemistry system will be like in the WC mode from FIFA 14 – Instead of leagues, clubs, and nations, continents and nationality count.
  • There will be new World Cup cards for all players with updated ratings.

  • Dynamic items will also come, similar to PTG- or OTW- cards.
  • For every pack you receive in the separate World Cup mode, you will also receive one in the regular FUT mode.
  • Various modes such as SBCs, online and offline tournaments, and drafts await us.
  • The coins and FIFA points apply across modes, so there will still be one account for both modes.
  • In the World Cup mode, there is no transfer market; players can only be obtained through sets, SBCs, and tasks.

If further information about the World Cup in FIFA 18 emerges, we will of course keep you updated!

fifa-18-wm-messi

World Cup update for FUT resembles the “FIFA 14” World Cup mode

All information about the World Cup update we have so far indicates that the World Cup mode will behave similarly to FIFA 14.

The World Cup mode was previously separated from the regular Ultimate Team. There was no market; players could only be obtained through packs. The coins applied equally to both FUT modes.

The World Cup players could only be played in the World Cup mode; however, for each World Cup pack, you received a set in the regular FUT.

The chemistry system also seems to have remained unchanged. A Cristiano Ronaldo will link not only with Toni Kroos but also with Julian Draxler, as both come from the European association. Additionally, we will still receive icons this year – according to EA, even new World Cup legends that haven’t existed in FIFA 18 so far.

fifa-14-world-cup
The team management in the World Cup mode of FIFA 14

Why should one be excited about this? The World Cup mode was extremely popular in FIFA 14. There are many new possibilities in team building. Moreover, many more players got to play with stars like Messi or Ronaldo, as the drop rate was much more player-friendly. Together with the World Cup licenses, the mode was a refreshing change from the regular FUT.

How likely is the implementation of the fan requests for FIFA 19?

Newbies in Worlds Adrift can’t even survive the starter zone

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time < 1 minutes

Open PvP is often a problem in an MMORPG. This often leads to griefing, meaning that more powerful players repeatedly attack beginners. Currently, the MMORPG Worlds Adrift suffers from exactly this problem.

Griefing in the Starter Zones

What is the problem? In Worlds Adrift, players who are somewhat experienced and have actually left the beginner zone return to this area. There, they ambush newcomers and repeatedly attack them due to the open PvP system. New entrants have very little chance of leaving the beginner zone to get better.

Worlds Adrift Adventure

Players are furious. Of course, this negatively affects the mood among players. Especially newcomers quickly lose interest and prefer to quit rather than be constantly attacked.

Developers promise improvement. The development team at Bossa Studios is aware that this problem exists. Apparently, there are already several ideas and plans on how to ensure fairness here. However, the developers have not yet discussed what these plans look like.

They explain that Worlds Adrift is still in the early access phase and that it is simply normal for such problems to occur. However, they definitely want to provide newcomers with a pleasant entry into the game, which is why the developers want to address this problem as quickly as possible.

The MMORPG Worlds Adrift with Spatial-OS technology can now be played via Steam.

Battlefield V has fighting women – This is how the internet reacts to it

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

The first gameplay images from the new shooter “Battlefield V” show fighting women. Some players are upset about this. They see it as historically inaccurate. It ruins their anticipation.

Alternative scenario: The trailer for Battlefield V made two things clear yesterday:

  • The shooter takes place in World War II
  • But in an alternative version of it – there were katanas, hook hands, and women seen

Especially regarding the part about “There were women”, people are getting heated.

BF-V-Frau

“That is historically inaccurate”: The US site Kotaku has compiled tweets and images from users who are upset about the fighting women in Battlefield V.

  • There it says: “Screw historical accuracy, you need a woman at the front of a World War II shooter for reasons.”
  • Or: “Is it possible that the Deluxe Edition removes all the women from the game?”
BFV-Tweets-Frauen

The press raises accusations against woman haters: The US site Kotaku believes that players with misogynistic tendencies are using their anger over the historical inaccuracy to vent against women. They long for other times. Times when gaming was still only for men. Kotaku defends by referring to the tradition of Battlefield. They have never intended to be historically accurate. Thus, the fighting women also defend other users on Twitter:

https://twitter.com/MikeDrucker/status/999527260561575936

Generally, there is turmoil after the trailer

Part of a larger backlash: Are women really the big issue in the Battlefield V community? No. When you look closer, you find such posts that vent against women, but you have to search for them. Overall, they get lost in the sheer volume of generally negative reactions. The official reveal trailer has already over 100,000 downvotes.

Offizieller-Reveal

Community reacts divided to the trailer: Although some users specifically target the women shown, overall, the colorful trailer has upset some players. There is a backlash against the overall style of the shooter. For it represents a break with the more realistic style of Battlefield 1:

  • While Battlefield 1 was rather dirty, realistic and harsh
  • The trailer for Battlefield V seems grotesquely exaggerated, colorful, and action-oriented to many

Your mom is ready from r/battlefield_one


A user in the Battlefield V Subreddit sums it up:

  • One half is upset because they can no longer see World War II as a setting
  • The other half is upset because they do not want to see WW2 represented like this – GG Dice

What I expected vs What I got from r/battlefield_one


Women a part of the problem, not the only one: Thus there are some who specifically complain about the women in Battlefield V. Overall, however, this plays a rather minor role. Many criticize the overall style of the trailer. Women are part of a problem area along with katanas, prosthetics, and “looks like Call of Duty.” Others have no problem with it at all. This is also evident from the more than 140,000 upvotes of the trailer.

Somehow Battlefield 5 has a Battle Royale mode

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Somehow, there is a battle royale mode in Battlefield 5 that is hidden in the Grand Operations. But don’t expect Fortnite here.

This happened: In advance, there were rumors that Battlefield V would have a battle royale mode. This was “partially” confirmed during the reveal on May 23.

There will be a last man standing in the new Grand Operations. But how much Fortnite and PUBG is in this mode?

The last survivor decides the match – Grand Operations in Battlefield V

For Call of Duty Black Ops 4, a battle royale mode was already announced to tap into the player base of Fortnite and others.  Now fans are also speculating about such a mode in the new Battlefield. What does DICE say about it?

There was much anticipation for the reveal of Battlefield V. Although DICE did not explicitly mention a BR mode, something similar will be in Battlefield 5.

Battlefield 5 Leak

Already in Battlefield 1, there was the mode “Operations”, which spans multiple rounds. In Battlefield V, this mode is elevated to the next level and is called “Grand Operations” or “Large Operations”.

Operations come with four gameplay rounds. In Grand Operations, players jump out of an airplane at the beginning of a round and glide onto the map. We already know this from BR games like PUBG. Then there are up to four gameplay rounds. Initially, they will likely try to take down the air defenses. After that, the fighting continues on the ground.

The last round can decide: If the match is not clearly determined before, there will be a fourth and final gameplay round called “Final Stand”. Players only have minimal ammunition supplies (probably only one magazine) and must loot resources from killed players. In the Final Stand, things get serious, as it will be fought until only one remains – the developers called it “Last Man Standing”.

BR elements are there, but hidden. The jumping out of the airplane and “the last survivor wins” we know from well-known BR games. However, Grand Operations are not a full-fledged battle royale mode. Here, developer DICE distances itself from the current BR trend and keeps this hype at bay.

Do you think this is good or do you wish for a battle royale mode in Battlefield V?

Battlefield V will be released on October 19, 2018, is set in World War II, and aims to improve significantly compared to earlier parts of the series.  Surprisingly, Battlefield 5 does not include a premium pass – you should receive all maps for free.
