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.
On the next page, there’s an extensive MMORPG for mobile.
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.
Video Guide: Unlocking Lunastra and the Lifesaver Mantle
In Charles’ video guide, you can see step by step how to get the quests for Lunastra. In these, you also receive the new Lifesaver Mantle, which is quite strong! Additionally, Charles presents Lunastra’s armors and weapons. Here you can also see the stats and abilities.

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:
Hi-Rez recently released a lore video for the upcoming update 1.1. for the team shooter Paladins. This not only introduces the new champion Furia but also an event where exclusive items can be earned.
On June 6th, the new update 1.1. “Rise of Furia” will be released for the team shooter Paladins. This brings the new champion Furia, who takes on the support role.
There is also a new event called “Rise of Furia,” which features a team deathmatch with random champions and exclusive cosmetic rewards. Over 15 cosmetic items can be earned during the event, including new music themes.
In Bless Online, to tame higher-level monsters, you need Taming Scrolls, also known as Taming Orders. We will show you how to craft Taming Scrolls and where to find the required material “Stone” in Bless.
Where can I find “Stone”?
An important ingredient for a Taming Scroll is the item “Stone”. You can obtain this resource by mining stones that you find all over the world. But where can players from the different factions find this resource?
Union: It’s worth taking a trip to the sandy area Gnolando southwest of the capital Spezia. There you will find sweet hippos, but also plenty of stone that you can mine.
Hieron: Head west of the capital Hieracon into the area Kingdom of Floren and into the zone “Inside Gliff Quarry.” There you will find “Stone.”
How can I craft Taming Scrolls?
To craft Taming Scrolls, you need to learn the profession Enchanting. You will receive the quest as soon as you reach level 18.
Then meet with your “Master of Enchanting.” This person can be found in Hierakon (Hieron) or Spezia (Union) and can be recognized by a book symbol.
Union: Master of Enchanting Kaiser
Hieron: Master of Enchanting Areipanus
There you can buy the recipe for “Normal Taming Order.” With this scroll, you can capture monsters up to level 35.
To craft a “Normal Taming Order,” you need:
“Paper”: You get this from a Craft Material Merchant in every city
“Secret Potion of Restriction”: You can purchase this item from the same vendor.
“Stone”: You obtain this item by mining stones.
I can’t/won’t craft Taming Orders
If you have chosen another profession, you can either play a second character at level 18 and craft scrolls with this character and send them to yourself via mail, or you can wait until other players sell their Taming Orders in the auction house. You can also switch your profession, but you will start at level 1 in the new profession.
In FIFA 18 Ultimate Team, there is a new “Team of the Season” this year: the “Rest of the World” TOTS. Here you will find everything about the “Team of the Season” for the “Rest of the World” and the associated RDW SBCs.
This year, there are no separate TDS teams for the smaller leagues anymore, but a total of 50 “Rest of the World” players. We will explain how you get the RDW cards.
In total, we can expect 50 “Rest of the World” players during the TOTS period. Every week on Friday, 10 new ROW cards will be released. These cards cannot be pulled from normal sets!
How do I get the RDW players? The 50th, 40th, 30th, 20th, and 10th players will be unlockable through weekly challenges.

Week 2: “Rest of the World” TOTS 40-31
In the second round of the RDW TDS, we will obtain as a weekly challenge Domenico Criscito (LB, Zenit St. Petersburg). To get him as an untradable card, you need to win 4 Squad Battles matches on World Class difficulty.

The “Team of the Season” (TDS) – better known as the “Team of the Season” (TOTS) – is the biggest event in Ultimate Team for most FIFA gamers. Many players receive a highly upgraded, blue special card during this time.
Over 200 player cards will likely receive a TOTS version in FUT 18. The reason for this is that many teams will be released, each containing 23 players – in contrast to the “Team of the Year” (TOTY), which only features a single 11-man selection.
The ratings of the players usually increase by 5 to 9 points – for the top stars of the major leagues, ratings in the high 90s can be expected. The basis for selection is performance during the 2017/2018 season – while for the TOTY, the entire calendar year of 2017 was considered.
Otherwise, the TOTS cards behave like informs: If you don’t want to wait for a card from sets, you can purchase them on the transfer market. The normal gold versions of the players will not be available during this time.
The shopping carts bring vehicles for the first time to Fortnite: Battle Royale – and they are extremely practical. In this guide, we show you how to make the most out of the shopping carts!
Besides all the different grenades, weapons, and items, Fortnite: Battle Royale was actually missing just one means of transportation. With the shopping carts, players now have a vehicle that can quickly get them to the safe zone, which can be used offensively and defensively.
We will show you in the guide how the vehicles work – and what cool stunts you can pull off with them.
Up to two players can sit in a shopping cart: one driver and one passenger, who can happily shoot around during the ride.
If you use the shopping cart alone, you cannot shoot, but you can switch to the passenger seat and shoot from there (though logically you lose control).
How fast can the shopping cart go? With the shopping carts, you are significantly faster than on foot. So they give you some time in a rush. As the driver, you can influence the speed.
You can run to accelerate the cart. If you stand on the crossbars, you gain momentum, but you will continuously slow down. Those who master the balance of both movement patterns can get really fast.
If you go downhill, the cart accelerates significantly, which leads to a loss in maneuverability.
Can I be shot at while using a shopping cart? Yes, the shopping carts do not protect you from enemy fire.
Can I use healing items while the shopping cart is moving? Yes, you can! The game treats players in shopping carts as if they are standing still – so you can happily drink potions.
Can you build from a shopping cart? This is actually possible, but it’s reserved for the passenger. While the driver pushes the cart, the passenger can happily build stairs up to the sky.
What about fall damage? Generally, shopping carts should cause fall damage from great heights, but this mechanic doesn’t seem to work quite yet. Many players report absurd stunts that can be survived unscathed.
While Epic will likely work on this, players create absurd and funny videos featuring shopping carts!
The shopping cart rocket turbo
With rockets, shopping carts can be accelerated. Don’t believe it? The following video provides the proof:

If a rocket is fired back from the cart, the shopping cart receives a short boost. Although this is a waste of ammunition, it is quite fun – especially if you are on a slope and already have some speed.
Skispringing with shopping carts
Location: The bridge northwest of the prison. When the comet struck, part of the bridge was blown away. Players now try to jump this gap with a shopping cart, which works better at times:

In this picture, a player discovered the sad remains of a failed jump attempt:
Whoever attempted a jump here – it failed!
Shopping carts and skydiving – the perfect combo!
The following videos show that the physics of shopping carts still doesn’t work perfectly. Small bumps on the ground (fallen opponents or stones) cause the carts to react surprisingly:

Due to the physics effects and the very inconsistent fall damage, shopping carts will surely be further revised. With them, Epic has definitely introduced a new tactical component into the game that can be used excellently both offensively and defensively.
What do you think of the shopping carts? Have you seen any other cool actions with them?

As the developer of Destiny 2, Bungie, has announced, they are partnering with the Chinese company NetEase to develop a new game franchise that has nothing to do with Destiny.
Bungie is not just about Destiny anymore: As Bungie announced a few hours ago in a statement, they have formed a partnership with the Chinese company NetEase to “build new worlds.” In addition to Destiny, they want to create and maintain other worlds.
What will happen to Destiny 2? Bungie assures that there will be no impact on Destiny 2. They are continuing to work with Activision on the franchise. They have exciting plans that will be announced in the coming weeks.
Bungie goes independent and gets well paid for it
Are they allowed to do that? Yes, there were specific clauses in the contract with Activision that allowed Bungie to develop other games after a set period, given certain conditions were met. This was clearly defined in the original version of the contract (via assets.documents.cloud), as far as we know. But we don’t know if the contract is current.
Bungie wants to emancipate itself: One of Bungie’s main goals is to publish games independently. A staff member from the Wall Street Journal reported this on Twitter. Bungie does not want to be entirely dependent on Activision Blizzard. The goal is to decide how to create worlds and what business model to use. Bungie wants to become a company that manages various franchises.
Receiving 100 million US dollars: Bungie has received an investment of 100 million dollars from NetEase to implement these plans.
NetEase: The developer of “Revelation Online” and much more
Who is NetEase? NetEase is an expert in MMOs and mobile games. In China, they are Blizzard’s partner and publish games like Overwatch, Diablo 3, or WoW there. Here in the West, they are mainly known for “Revelation Online,” an Asian MMORPG that has seen only moderate success. However, in China, they operate incredibly successful games like “Fantasy Westward Journey Online 2.”
What kind of new non-Destiny game could emerge?
What kind of games could Bungie make for them? Most likely MMO shooters – and with the business model, it sounds like “Free2Play” MMOs or games-as-a-service. It is hard to imagine Bungie starting with mobile MMOs: Bungie is primarily a company for PS4 and Xbox One. It would hardly make sense for Bungie to work on anything other than shooters. But the exact details are supposed to be revealed later.
Perhaps a dream will come true
This is particularly exciting: There is a new MMO technology, SpatialOS. The company behind the technology is valued at 1 billion US dollars after investments. The inventor of this technology dreams of creating vast online worlds. He has explicitly stated that it would be his greatest dream to turn Destiny into a massive, living universe.
What does NetEase have to do with it? NetEase entered into a partnership with the company of this Destiny fan in February 2018. Perhaps in the future, we will hear that Bungie is using this insane technology in their own games. In any case, NetEase apparently has significant ambitions in the area of “living worlds” and “online gaming” – and thanks to mobile MMOs, they apparently have the resources to afford it. From NetEase’s perspective, they have now:
acquired the technology for massive MMO worlds with SpatialOS
and partnered with Bungie, the developer who can create these worlds
But that is currently speculation.
How will fans of Destiny 2 likely react?
Destiny 2 at a crossroads: But it will probably take years before we, as players, really see any of this. Right now, Bungie has to deal with the response from Destiny fans. After all, Destiny 2 is currently at a turning point with the reveal of “Destiny 2 Comet” in the coming days.

In The Division today, on 2nd June, is the big vendor reset. We present you with items from the vendors that are particularly worth it.

In Fortnite, on Friday, June 1st, the new competitive mode “Blitz Showdown” went live unexpectedly. Players can earn V-Bucks for free. The mode addresses some weaknesses of the old eSports mode.
Fortnite is back on competitive: A new competitive mode has unexpectedly gone live in Fortnite: “Blitz Showdown”. It aims to improve several issues that caused difficulties last time. Players complained that everything became a static camping fest since only placements counted, not kills. That has changed in the new mode!
The new rules for “Blitz Showdown”: Faster, harder, better
This is how it was last time:
For the last mode “Solo Showdown”, players had to play 50 matches, which were then counted, and the best players earned V-Bucks for it. 50 matches were quite a lot for a long weekend.
Only placements were considered – kills did not matter.
And there was only a list of players who win – quite a few for so many participants.
All of this will be different in the new mode.
This is how it is now:
Only 25 matches count. They must be completed to have a chance to win.
Placements and eliminations are what counts for the points.
And 100 players will be selected per server region: Europe has its own region. In addition to that, there are North America, Asia, Oceania, and Brazil.
You can earn this many points in the new mode “Blitz Showdown”
This is how many points are available:
Points are awarded based on placement in the match:

Kills pay off in the new Fortnite mode: You get 3 points per kill!
This is what you can win:
The first place is rewarded with 20,000 V-Bucks.
For places 2-5, there are still 13,500 V-Bucks.
And places 6-100 receive 7,500 V-Bucks.
End: The mode runs until June 4th at 4:00 PM our time.
Teens excluded again: Participating players must again be over 16 years old.
Team types will be banned: Fortnite also makes a clear statement regarding the 2 major problems of the original mode “Solo Showdown”. Those who formed a team were excluded from the event. It is to be expected this time as well. Epic also states: Anyone who cheats will be permanently banned.
More formats like this planned: Epic Games announces they will continue to experiment with competitive modes. The blitz and fast showdown is still not the final format.

The Overwatch fans love to mix their game with Fallout. No wonder, the number 76 is significant for both titles.
A few days ago, when the new Fallout 76 was announced, fans were thrilled. However, when the stylish backpack with the large “76” strolled into view, Overwatch fans raised their eyebrows in amusement. “What is Soldier: 76 doing in Fallout?” It didn’t take long for numerous demands for crossover skins and various artworks to appear on the internet.
The similarity is astonishing: Just like in Fallout, Soldier: 76 also prominently displays 76 on his back in Overwatch, albeit with a completely different meaning. While in Fallout it refers to a year when one finally confronts the nuclear aftermath, for Soldier: 76, it relates to the designation number in the “Super Soldier Program”.

For the fans, those were enough parallels to immediately create some artworks and imagine skins for Soldier: 76 or to transport the hero right into the Fallout setting.
Some of these works we will show you here.

By the way, the one particularly pleased about this is Michael Chu, the lore writer behind Overwatch. He expressed his joy on Twitter that for years he wanted to teach players to write “Soldier: 76” with a colon, and now players reflexively say “Fallout: 76”.

Would you also like to see a “crossover” of the two games? For example, a Soldier: 76 skin in Fallout? Or perhaps a Fallout skin in Overwatch? Or do you find this connection between the two games silly and think they should go their separate ways?

Bless Online revises the “class balance” following criticism and gives players the opportunity to experiment with new builds. Players are reacting differently to the changes.
The gameplay still doesn’t feel right: In recent days, players have increasingly voiced their concerns about the game balance in Bless Online. The gameplay felt off. Particularly, the Mage and Ranger were seen as too strong by most players.
The following criticisms were raised:
The damage from abilities is too high and monsters die too quickly. PvE is too easy.
Healing abilities are way too weak. The Paladin struggles to keep up with healing in PvP and Guardians can’t utilize their strengths as tanks.
Both PvP and PvE content are only moderately enjoyable for some players under these conditions.
Neowiz is tweaking the class balance
Neowiz is responding quickly to the criticism and making several changes to the gameplay. The evasion skills of the classes now have a cooldown and no longer require specific resources. Additionally, they now have multiple charges. You can therefore dodge or teleport multiple times in succession if your class possesses such a skill.
These changes affect all classes:
All classes will receive more health points
The damage from almost all abilities has been reduced
The gameplay should therefore become somewhat slower, and players will no longer mow down their opponents so quickly.
To experiment with the new changes, Neowiz has reduced the cost for a skill reset to 1 Lumena until June 8. Lumena is Bless’ premium currency.
All classes receiveindividual adjustments:
Paladin: The power of healing abilities will be increased, its offensive abilities will cost less mana, and the “Endure” skill can now be charged 3 times.
Guardian: The “Guardians Faith” skill can now be charged 3 times and no longer consumes “Bravery”.
Berserker: The “Dodge Move” can now be charged 5 times and no longer consumes “Anger”.
Ranger: The “Dodge Move” can now be charged 3 times.
Wizard: The “Blink” can now be charged 3 times (4 times if you enhance it).
Players receive the changes with mixed feelings
Due to the changes, players need significantly longer to defeat an opponent, even if that opponent is at the same level as they are. Leveling up has especially become more demanding for classes whose focus is not on damage. Dungeons that could previously be easily soloed are now significantly more difficult. Therefore, players feel that Neowiz has gone “too far” with the nerfs.
Players appreciate that almost all classes have become more agile due to the patch. In Bless Online, many enemies announce their strong attacks with red marked areas on the ground. With the patch, players can now dodge these attacks more frequently. They also like that Neowiz responded quickly to the criticism.
What do you think about the class balance adjustments? Do you still enjoy playing your class?

The Ultimate TDS: What is it and what cards are included?
The Ultimate Team of the Season, or EA-TOTS, is a compilation of the “Best of TOTS” cards this season. It is released at the end of the TDS promo and usually causes another market crash, as everyone wants to have one of the coveted cards.
There will also be guaranteed SBCs on Sunday and Tuesday for the Ultimate TDS. Additionally, there will likely be many promo packs in the FUT store.
The EA-TOTS in FIFA 17: With many extremely strong cards!
Prediction for the Ultimate TOTS
Making a prediction for the EA TOTS is not easy. The Ultimate TOTS includes the best 23 players, but they are not necessarily determined by rating.
An example: In FIFA 17, Casemiro had a 93-rated TOTS card and Marcelo only a 92-rated. Still, Marcelo appeared in the Ultimate Team of the Season, while Casemiro did not.
We still try to make a prediction. Below are the 23 players with the highest ratings listed, followed by cards that have a chance of displacing another player.
As always, the strongest cards are offensive players. The best 23 are divided into two goalkeepers, three defenders, six midfielders, and twelve forwards.
In the EA-TDS from FUT 17, there were two goalkeepers, four defenders, seven midfielders, and ten forwards in the entire team.
Taking this distribution into account, here are the possible promotions:
David Silva, Manchester City, CM – 95
Thomas Müller, Bayern Munich, RW – 95
Timo Werner, RB Leipzig, ST – 95
Lorenzo Insigne, Napoli, LF – 95
Mauro Icardi, Inter Milan, ST – 95
Harry Kane, Tottenham Hotspur, ST – 95
Diego Godin, Atletico Madrid, CB – 94
Giorgio Chiellini, Juventus, CB – 94
Thiago Silva, PSG, CB – 94
It is not guaranteed that the Ultimate TOTS will be selected from this pool of players. EA could prefer fan favorites that sell better or use other selection criteria.
Nevertheless, fans can look forward to a strong final Team of the Season. Stars like CR7, Messi, or Salah will surely be part of the EA-TOTS.
