FIFA 19: Ronaldo, Messi or Salah – Who will be the new cover star?

Philipp Junge Philipp Junge Reading time 5 minutes

In the FIFA community, speculation begins again after this season: Who will be on the cover of FIFA 19? The fan favorite is neither Messi nor Ronaldo.

Update: Here is the final cover of FIFA 19.

FIFA 18 gains momentum in the final stretch with World Cup mode and the Team of the Season on board. Nevertheless, there is already much speculation about FIFA 19, whose release will likely be at the end of September as usual. Of course, the discussion about the cover star is always part of it. Last year, Cristiano Ronaldo was the first to grace the cover. EA will likely announce who we can expect to see on the cover around mid-June during E3.

We show you the different options that fans wish for and the cover stars of the previous FIFA titles.

von Philipp Junge

These stars have a good chance of being on the cover

Of course, there is no confirmed information about the cover of FIFA 19 yet. However, based on the performances of the past season and international market value, one can make predictions about who might make it onto the cover of FIFA 19.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Clearly, the superstar from Madrid is the first that comes to mind as a new, returning cover star. He made his debut in FIFA 18 and was present in the game without holding back.

What speaks for him? CR7 still stands alongside Messi as an elite in football. He is in the Champions League final and, despite initial struggles, had a strong season (44 goals in 43 matches).

What speaks against him? Ronaldo is now 33 years old, and any season could see his decline—it’s quite possible that EA is looking to find a younger cover star soon.

fifa-18-ronaldo-jubel

Lionel Messi

Messi also had an outstanding season, especially in the league. His TOTS card was rated lower than Ronaldo’s, shocking a large part of the FIFA community.

What speaks for him? Many believe Messi had a better season than Ronaldo, especially since he also assists and doesn’t just score goals. Additionally, at 30, he can play at the highest level for a longer time.

What speaks against him? The Barca superstar was already the cover star from FIFA 13 to 16—then he parted ways with EA. A return to the FIFA cover seems unlikely, especially since PES holds the rights to him.

fifa-18-messi

Mohamed Salah

After this season, one must give the Egyptian chances for the cover. Salah collected special cards in FIFA, and his TOTS card was as strong as Messi’s.

What speaks for him? He had an outstanding season, is young, and plays in the Premier League, which EA often favors. Moreover, he doesn’t divide the fan base like Messi and Ronaldo do.

What speaks against him? If Salah remains a one-season wonder, EA will regret it. It’s quite possible that he’ll need to show consistency before becoming a cover star.

fifa-salah-potm

Neymar

When speaking of great solo artists in football, Neymar cannot be missed. The Brazilian from Paris St. Germain had a strong debut season in France.

What speaks for him? Neymar is THE star in Paris and plays for a successful national team. At 26, he is in his prime.

What speaks against him? He was already featured on the PES cover and is not exactly popular among many due to his transfer and behavior on the field.

fifa-18-neymar

Antoine Griezmann

The star of the third top Spanish club – Antoine Griezmann from Atletico Madrid – had a good but not outstanding season.

What speaks for him? Similar to Neymar, he is also 27 and could have a strong World Cup with France. Additionally, he has been seen more often in FIFA 18, for example on packs.

What speaks against him? His season was by far not as good as Salah’s, Messi’s, or Ronaldo’s. It’s questionable whether that is enough for the cover of FIFA 19.

fifa-18-griezmann-jubel

Thomas Müller

After Marco Reus already graced the FIFA cover in 2017, why shouldn’t a Bundesliga star do it again this year? Müller may not have the best statistics, but he is charming.

What speaks for him? His age, his club, and his performances in the DFB team. Additionally, Müller is appreciated not just in Germany for his character and, like Griezmann, was already seen in FIFA 18 on packs.

What speaks against him? His statistics are far from those of a superstar, and his appearance could be considered too “unspectacular” for the cover.

fifa-18-thomas-müller-bayern

These are the community’s cover favorites

On the site fifplay, FIFA fans were able to vote for their preferred candidate for the cover of FIFA 19. Over a million players have already made their choice. The result is even relatively clear:

  1. Mohamed Salah (31%, 307,617 Votes)
  2. Cristiano Ronaldo (16%, 162,093 Votes)
  3. Lionel Messi (15%, 154,247 Votes)
  4. Thomas Müller (13%, 132,911 Votes)
  5. Neymar Jr. (9%, 89,273 Votes)
  6. Javier Hernández (4%, 38,937 Votes)
  7. Antoine Griezmann (3%, 25,321 Votes)
  8. Robert Lewandowski (2%, 22,773 Votes)
  9. Paulo Dybala (1%, 13,600 Votes)
  10. Paul Pogba (1%, 11,407 Votes)

Mohamed Salah thus stands out after this outstanding season with Liverpool, outshining the global stars Messi and Ronaldo, as he has nearly as many votes as both combined. Thomas Müller unexpectedly ranks 4th, even though this is not a German but an international survey.

Also surprising is the choice of Javier Hernandez (Chicharito) in 4th place. He is not a serious candidate for the cover star.

The cover stars of all FIFA titles

Only one player has made it onto the cover more often than Lionel Messi: Ronaldinho. Since 1994, many different players have graced the FIFA games, some of whom the current players may no longer even recognize.

Defeated Escalation Protocol by 3 Guardians – Lasted 8 Hours

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

After some exceptional performances in the new raid area of Destiny 2, a team led by YouTuber Gigz has achieved the next feat. The squad has mastered the entire Escalation Protocol with just three players.

Another masterful achievement by the players: YouTuber Gigz has already caught attention in the latest raid section, the Stargate, with some impressive performances, including a no-weapon kill of the tract boss Val Ca’uor. Now, he has accomplished another true feat with his two companions, Gladd and FleshCrunch.

Escalation Protocol mastered with 3 players

The team successfully fought through all seven stages of the Escalation Protocol event, including the final boss – and did so with only three players in a total of eight hours.

Whether this really is, as Gigz claims, the world’s first three-player clear, has yet to be confirmed, not even by Bungie.

However, this in no way diminishes the special achievement of the squad. Furthermore, there have been no opposing statements or challenges from other players so far.

What makes the achievement so special? Even for high-level and well-coordinated groups, the Escalation Protocol is still not a task that can be solved casually. Many squads still struggle with this PvE event – especially at the last two waves. Numerous events fail due to a lack of players or the increasing difficulty.

For the Escalation Protocol, you are highly dependent on other players and their skills as well as power levels. Especially during the boss fight at the end of the seventh wave, every player counts. However, even if you manage to bring up to eight friends with a little trick, that is by no means a guarantee of success.

With such a small number of players, the event seemed impossible until now. For solo players, this will likely remain the case initially. However, the high-level squad around Gigz has impressively demonstrated that it can indeed be accomplished with three players.

Yet even for these top players, it was anything but easy. The fact that it took almost eight hours and numerous attempts to finally succeed shows this.

In this video, you can see the last two waves of the record run:

How to get the new puzzle mount in WoW: Battle for Azeroth

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

In the Beta of WoW: Battle for Azeroth a new, special mount has appeared. However, obtaining it is not so easy. How you can get the Naz’jatar Blood Serpent is explained here.

A new riddle mount has appeared: In the Beta of WoW: Battle for Azeroth a new mount for puzzle lovers is already available. The “Naj’jatar Blood Serpent” can be claimed by players who solve some tricky tasks.

Previously, two such mounts were available in Legion:

The Naz’jatar Blood Serpent can already be earned in the Beta. Wowhead’s data miners have already figured out what you need to do. The individual steps to get the mount are described below.

How to Obtain the Naz’jatar Blood Serpent

In Stormsong Valley, you will find Naga NPCs and eels that may drop “Abyssal Fragments” with some luck. You need 20 of these for the first step, which you then need to assemble.

To assemble the fragments, you must be at the “Shrine of Abyss”. You will find this hidden behind a waterfall in the northwest of the Shrine of the Storm, one of the dungeons of Battle for Azeroth.

If you use the fragments at the shrine, you will receive an “Abhorrent Essence of the Abyss”. You need to take this essence to a mine near Warfang Hold in Stormsong Valley. Use the essence there and a level 120 elite opponent will appear, who drops the serpent as loot.

There may be more riddle mounts: After the secret of the first riddle mount was revealed, game designer Jeremy Feasel spoke up on Twitter. He wrote: “1/? Secrets Found”. Whether this means you can find more mounts or if entirely different secrets await you remains to be discovered.

Whoever pre-orders Battlefield 5 may play the Open Beta earlier

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

A pre-order of Battlefield V grants fans early access to the open beta of the latest series installment. Additionally, there are extra in-game advantages included – even for Battlefield 1.

This is what a pre-order of Battlefield V offers: According to GameStop and Amazon, players who pre-order any edition of Battlefield V will receive a so-called “Enlisted Offer.” This grants early access to the open beta.

Early Access Battlefield V

The latest installment of the Battlefield series will be released worldwide on October 19, 2018, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC (Origin). However, there are several ways to play the game earlier:

  • Members of EA Access or Origin Access can participate in the Play First Trial of Battlefield 5 starting October 11, 2018.
  • By ordering the Battlefield V Deluxe Edition, players will be able to start on October 16.

It is still unclear when the open beta will begin and how much earlier access to the beta will be granted through the pre-order.

Moreover, pre-orderers of Battlefield 5 will also receive in-game advantages such as additional customization options for soldiers. With the pre-order, there is the choice between 8 special soldier sets, which will allow players to customize their troops accordingly in-game.

With the start of the launch week, there will also be special missions where players can earn various rewards.

In addition, there is immediate access to 5 weapons that can be used in Battlefield 1.

Microtransactions: In Battlefield 5, there will be microtransactions for cosmetic items. Unlockable items that affect gameplay will be excluded. Additionally, there will be no premium pass like in previous installments.

Battlefield 5 does not have a Premium Pass – You can play all maps for free

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

In Battlefield 5, every player should play the same content. That’s why this installment does without the Premium Pass.

During the reveal of Battlefield 5, the developers stated that all players can always play together.

This means: No more money needs to be invested to access all game modes and maps at any time. In Battlefield 1, a Premium Pass was still included, but in Battlefield 5, it will not return.

Battlefield V Tides of War – Live Service

Battlefield 5 includes a service called Tides of War, which gives every player access to new maps, game modes, and content from the expansions. The expansions are said to be all free.

EA says that this change is in the interest of players and DICE. So you no longer have to hope that your friends have already bought the same DLCs so you can play together. None of your friends have to miss out anymore because they don’t have certain maps. A feature like Premium Friends, which shared paid content with others, is therefore obsolete.

BF5 Title

Setting in World War II in Battlefield V

In Battlefield 5, the focus is initially on the early battles of the Second World War. Gradually, the developers will then release more content that will confront you with later conflicts of the war.

Forgoing the Premium Pass means that the entire community can always see and use the same content. Everyone is on a shared adventure at the same time. EA and DICE have thereby a lot of control over the overall player experience.

BF 5 Screenshot Title2

What can you buy? In the stream, it was clearly stated that there will be no pay-to-win elements in Battlefield 5. Cosmetic items will likely be for sale, but they should not give any advantages in the game. Just look good.

It is assumed that Battlefield 5 will be released simultaneously on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The Standard version of Battlefield 5 will launch on October 19, 2018.

Pokémon GO: Attack for Community Day with Larvitar leaked

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The Pokémon GO Community Day in June features Larvitar as the exclusive Pokémon. Leaks have now revealed which special move can be learned.

During the Community Day in June, there will be another special move that can only be learned during the event period of Pokémon  GO. Niantic actually wants to keep this move secret until just before the event starts. However, they might have failed this time. The Japanese and Chinese in-game announcements have already mentioned the Catapult move, which is likely to be learned by Tyranitar.

Community Day with Catapult in June?

Pokémon GO trainers received an in-game message in the past hours with news about the Community Day in June. It was explained in all languages that Larvitar is the special Pokémon for this event and what additional in-game bonuses there will be. However, the Japanese and Chinese announcements had even more information.

They stated that Tyranitar can learn the move Catapult during the Community Day.

More on the topic

von Patrick Freese

Why does Niantic only write this in these languages? Apparently, there is a problem with the translations. It is assumed that Niantic sends two versions to the translators.

  • One with rough information long before the event. Which monster, what bonuses, what date
  • One with all the information, shortly before the event. This message then summarizes all the information for the trainers.
Pokémon GO China Catapult

The text of the Chinese translation looks like this (Thanks to Reddit user cytb8)

In the square brackets in the first paragraph, it says (roughly translated): [Can learn a special attack] and [Can learn Catapult!]. So it seems that both versions were accidentally published in advance.

How strong is Catapult in Pokémon GO?

The Catapult move was found weeks ago in the data of Pokémon GO. So we know that it is a fast move. This would be the first Community Day to teach a Pokémon a fast move instead of a charged move.

With Catapult, Tyranitar could finally learn a moveset with two Rock-type attacks.

Pokémon GO 1st Tyranitar

Many experts have already started analyzing how strong the monster would be with this new attack. Tyranitar with Catapult would be the strongest Rock-type attacker in Pokémon GO – stronger than Golem and Rhyperior!

Now we just have to wait and see if the leak turns out to be “correct”.

The largest mobile game in the world receives a battle royale mode

Leya Jankowski Leya Jankowski Reading time 3 minutes

For Arena of Valor has announced a Battle Royale mode. The MOBA in the style of League of Legends from Tencent is a huge hit in China, but also popular in the West. It can be played on smartphone or tablet.

Battle Royale will work differently in Arena of Valor than in other games.

Battle Royale in Arena of Valor: Here, 100 players will fight to kill a big boss monster at the end of a round. In the meantime, they will be busy killing each other until the monster appears. It will be a race for the monster kill.

Battle Royale in shooters like Fortnite or PUBG: In these games, we are used to 100 players jumping onto an island with a parachute. After that, they search for weapons, items, and armor. The players fight against each other until only one remains at the end.

Arena of Valor Fight2

There is a huge desert map with a deadly sandstorm

Although Arena of Valor differs from most Battle Royale games, there are also mechanics that are quite typical.

The first known details about the Battle Royale mode: 

  • Up to 100 players are possible
  • The map is a desert with small towns scattered everywhere
  • At the beginning of the round, players spawn in random locations
  • The map is supposed to be about 150 times larger than the usual MOBA map
  • A deadly sandstorm sweeps across the map and reduces the radius
  • It can be played solo or in a group of two to five players
  • Treasures are scattered across the map that provide advantages
  • Typical of MOBA, there are AI enemies on the map that give experience points.

First critics say: No Battle Royale feeling emerges

Already after the announcement, the first critical voices spread.

MOBAs are team-based: Battle arena games like LoL, Dota, and Arena of Valor are based on teamwork. In these games, it is not about coming out as the big and only winner. A team must harmonize and cooperate, because …

… MOBAs have skill-based heroes, who are coordinated with each other. Each champ has its strengths and weaknesses. In Battle Royale, usually everyone starts with a generic character and nothing. This provides equality of opportunity and brings excitement, because one must quickly find good loot.

There are hardly any champions in MOBAs that work solo “one-on-one” and are balanced. Thus, a meta quickly emerges with only certain heroes.

Arena-of-Valor-Battle-Royale-Art

There is no release date for the Battle Royale mode in Arena of Valor yet. However, Tencent has already shown an initial playable demo.

In Paladins: Battlegrounds, it did not quite work out with the skill-based heroes, and the Battle Royale mode was revamped. Will Tencent succeed better?

The fact that Season 14 starts on a Friday shows that there is no significant patch ahead. In the past, Blizzard launched new seasons of Diablo 3 with large patches earlier in the week to give developers enough time to fix potential issues by the weekend. Season 12, for example, started on a Thursday.

Why even have a new season when there is no patch?

On Reddit, players ask why Blizzard even performs a season reset when there are no changes in the game.

In response, players explain that the starts of new seasons are a lot of fun. Due to the season reset, every player has to start from scratch in a season. Especially in the first days after the start of a season, the rush for Diablo 3 is great. Masses of players race to see who can reach the high levels of characters and Nephalem Rifts first.

PUBG Xbox One: Update brings Miramar map and faster loading times

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Finally, PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) players on the Xbox One can finally play on the new Miramar map. Until now, only testers on the console and players on the PC had this opportunity. We look at the patch notes.

A major update is coming for the battle royale shooter PUBG on the Xbox One. Starting May 24 at 09:00 AM German time, console players can play on the desert map Miramar. In addition to the new map, the update brings many improvements.

Contents of the PUBG Xbox May Update – Patch Notes

Miramar is the second map in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and is finally coming to consoles. It is approximately the same size as Erangel, the first map of PUBG. Visually, instead of starting in green Erangel with many fields, you begin in the desert of Miramar, which even features a prison as a location.

The fact that you will finally have Miramar on the Xbox One starting Thursday is the biggest change in the update. The goal is to provide players with more variety in their matches. However, other things are changing as well.

Faster Loading Times:  With the May update, loading times for maps are expected to be shortened, and the overall performance improved. A new loading system prioritizes loading the location where a player lands. This aims to address issues like missing house textures after landing.

More PC Features on Xbox: The update also unlocks emotes and general UI improvements that PC players have been enjoying for a while.

Bug Fixes: Players should no longer get stuck when leaning to one side. Additionally, the update should ensure that the markings of your teammates are accurately displayed on the map.

Stardew Valley is available as an MMO thanks to mods – Multiplayer without limits!

Leya Jankowski Leya Jankowski Reading time < 1 minutes

In Stardew Valley, you can now invite the entire guild to your farm. The “Unlimited Players Mod” removes the limits on the maximum number of players for multiplayer on Steam.

The recently launched cooperative multiplayer beta allows you to adventure in Stardew Valley with up to four players. This limitation is lifted by the Unlimited Players Mod .

This means you can invite as many friends to your farm as you like, and the big MMO farmer party can begin. However, just like in the original cooperative beta version, you currently still need a separate cabin for each invited person.

The Unlimited Players Mod is new and is still under development: In the future, the mod aims to ensure that you can build at least more than one cabin per day. However, there are also plans to completely lift the cabin limit. Then you wouldn’t need to build a cabin for each invited person.

Keep in mind that with a large number of players, performance issues might arise if you want to try out the mod. Here on Nexus-Mods you will find the instructions to download the mod.

Destiny 2: Foes use apps to reach power level 385

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 2 minutes

To the astonishment of numerous Guardians, Bungie recently disabled the gear feature on apps and third-party sites for Destiny 2. Now it becomes clear why. The reason was an exploit that allowed players to reach the max power level of 385 in a very short time.

App features disabled: Shortly before the start of the first Iron Banner of Season 3, numerous Guardians were surprised to find that the equip feature of apps and sites like Ishtar Commander, Destiny Item Manager, or Bungie’s own Companion App no longer worked. The transfer feature could still be used normally.

Subsequently, Bungie announced that the equip feature for the respective apps and sites had been disabled. The studio did not provide reasons for this.

Exploit is the reason for the restrictions: Some time later, the reason became apparent. A randomly discovered exploit made the rounds among players. Some Guardians abused the gear mechanics to make their way to the new level cap easier.

With a trick, it became possible to reach the new maximum power level of 385 in a short time. Tutorials were found on YouTube and in some forums. In the meantime, the relevant posts have been deleted.

Equip feature exploit helps players to max level

With the trick, players equipped an item via apps or sites that they simultaneously deleted. This resulted in the corresponding gear slot becoming empty. They followed this methodology until only one item remained – the one with the highest power level value. The game then considered this value as the power level of the respective character.

If, for example, one had a 365 helmet, the game assumed a character level of 365 and thus dropped high-level items from corresponding sources. They then equipped the new stronger item and continued to abuse this trick until they reached the maximum level.

Bungie seems to have quickly put a stop to the exploit by disabling the equip feature, to prevent even more players from abusing this mechanics. When a permanent solution will be provided is not yet known.

Slowly, the first builds for the The Elder Scrolls Online addon Summerset are coming out. Starting off is the Magicka Sorcerer, a DPS build for the ESO Sorcerer with the Burning Spellweave set.

Due to some changes in gameplay, the builds in ESO have also changed. ProNDC presents a good Magicka Sorcerer in a video, who outputs decent DPS with Summerset .

How to play a good Magicka Sorcerer with the Burning Spellweave set

General. Focus everything on Magicka and use the Blessing: Apprentice and the Clockwork Lemon Fillet.

You will have to farm the items first.

Which skills should the Sorcerer use? Skills are of course important, so you should place a lot of value on effective skills.

FIFA 18 TOTW 36 – The Team of the Week 36 in Ultimate Team

Philipp Junge Philipp Junge Reading time 3 minutes

In FIFA 18 the TOTW 36 (Team of the Week 36) is known. These players receive Inform cards in Ultimate Team.

The 2017/2018 season is now definitely coming to an end, and this is also reflected in the TDW. There are fewer and fewer stars in the Team of the Week.

The focus is clearly on the Team of the Season and the upcoming World Cup mode. The latter even brings new ratings for all participating players.

On Wednesday, May 23, the TDW 36 will be available from 7 PM in sets. You can pull the cards for a week.

As suspected, the TOTW 36 looks extremely unspectacular. The best player is Franco Vazquez with an 87. Also, Ante Rebic is missing; he would receive a “Man of the Match” card and no Inform.

These were the predictions for Team of the Week 36 in FUT 18

TOTW predictions are forecasts of which players would have earned a spot in the upcoming Team of the Week. These predictions never completely align with the official TOTW, and it is therefore risky,
to operate on the transfer market based on them, yet they provide a good overview of which players could receive the coveted special cards.

What is the Team of the Week (TDW) in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team?

Every Wednesday, EA Sports reveals the Team of the Week in the “Ultimate Team” mode of their annual football simulation. This is also the case in FIFA 18. Players who performed outstandingly in real football during the past week are rewarded with special cards that have enhanced attributes.

fifa-18-atletico-madrid

You can pull the TOTW cards within a week from the sets that can contain rare (Gold) players. However, the chance for that is considered low.

Moreover, it is possible for you to buy these on the transfer market if they are offered by other players. However, the prices are usually extremely high. If you want to buy one of the new informs for your team, it is advisable to purchase it at the beginning of the next week, as they will then be cheaper.

H1Z1: 200,000 players on PS4! – The 3 hype and 2 crises so far

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 4 minutes

The battle royale shooter H1Z1 has released on PS4. 200,000 players joined on the first day, but can the game retain its players this time? This is now the third hype of the game, but there have also been two crises. We take a look at the tumultuous history of H1Z1.

200,000 joined: It has been three and a half years since H1Z1 was first playable on PC. Yesterday, on May 22nd, it was finally available on PS4. 200,000 players wanted to test the free shooter. This led to server issues and difficulties. But it was a great success for the game. This is the third spring of H1Z1. We ask: What happened to the other two?

H1Z1-Zombie

The 1st hype: 2015 in early access with zombies

H1Z1 – the zombie years: In January 2015, H1Z1 was released in early access on PC. At that time, the game was still a survival MMO. Players could build and fought for survival. Their enemies were zombies infected by the virus “H1Z1”. The game was hastily put together to ride the coattails of the “Walking Dead” zombie hype train. The studio was actually working on another game, then experimented with the H1Z1 idea and fell in love with the concept. Fans loudly demanded a release as an early access title.

Rotted at the core: The game was indeed successful. But relatively quickly, H1Z1 ran out of steam. It was too unfinished and buggy. However, despite the problems, over a million copies of the game were sold by March 2015. The developers promised to further develop H1Z1 in close collaboration with the community. But behind the scenes, they had other plans.

H1z1 Screenshot 6

Smedley’s vision: The head of Sony Online Entertainment at the time, John Smedley, was a visionary who foresaw the gaming landscape of today back in 2015. Smedley believed that Twitch would be the new gaming medium and fully invested in a game that would be suitable for the streaming platform. And he predicted the “battle royale” hype even back then.

von Schuhmann

The 2nd hype: 2016/2017 – Pioneer of battle royale

Stumbled upon Twitch gold: In 2015 and 2016, H1Z1 gradually moved away from the idea of a “survival MMO”. Smedley brought in PlayerUnknown, Brendan Greene, as an expert to develop his “battle royale” mode for H1Z1. The mode was still a niche thing, rooted in the modding community of ArmA and DayZ. In H1Z1’s battle royale, players no longer faced zombies but each other. The new mode was a huge success on Twitch – even though H1Z1 was still quite buggy.

H1Z1-Feuer

PvE players feel neglected: The sudden success of H1Z1 as a “battle royale shooter” diverted development in another direction. The zombie mode was increasingly neglected. There was no news about a “release” or the announced port to PS4 and Xbox One. Yet, the battle royale shooter was only sparsely developed. Instead of polishing the game, the focus shifted entirely to Twitch, organizing large tournaments here. With high prize money, they attracted popular streamers to H1Z1. Visionary Smedley left the studio at the end of 2015 after issues with a hacker group.

Streamer-H1Z1

The split: In 2016, the studio announced that they would split H1Z1 into two games:

  • The zombie part became “H1Z1: Just Survive” – and has hardly been developed since
  • The battle royale shooter became “H1Z1: King of the Kill.” Under this name, the great era began.

H1Z1 – the illegitimate parent of PUBG faces trouble with its son

The golden year: In 2016 and the first half of 2017, “King of the Kill” had hardly any competition in the battle royale genre. Despite many problems, H1Z1 became one of the biggest hits on Steam. However, the game’s further development was not very impressive either. They were living off the direction Smedley had set. In 2017, a live tournament of H1Z1 was even broadcast on US television.

2017 – Fortnite and PUBG end the rise: This rise was halted with the emergence of competitive battle royale games. PlayerUnknown had soon left H1Z1 and built his own game for Bluehole in Korea: PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds was the massive hit of 2017 on PC. Smedley’s idea of having Brendan Greene develop a battle royale shooter for Twitch and Steam worked excellently – just not with H1Z1, but with PUBG.

When the free-to-play title “Fortnite: Battle Royale” came along, H1Z1 lost almost its entire player base: it dropped rapidly by 91%.

The 3rd hype: PS4 – Will it work this time?

How long will the hype last on PS4? We are currently experiencing the third spring of H1Z1. As a free battle royale shooter, the game seeks its fortune on PlayStation 4 and many are checking it out. Without having to fear the competition from PUBG and with some new ideas, an auto battle royale had success. 200,000 players on the first day is a significant number. The question is: “Will they stay this time?” With the current influx of players, it seems they hardly expected this – which is causing problems.

But a third hype is remarkable. After all, just a few weeks ago, things looked bleak for H1Z1:

In Crossout, you can control a huge boss enemy yourself

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time < 1 minutes

In the PVE missions of the action MMO Crossout, you have already faced the Leviathans as final bosses. Now you can control them yourself in PvP battles!

Crossout Leviathan 2

Big, Bigger, Leviathan!

The Leviathan game mode is here! “Clan Wars: Leviathans” is a new game mode where you build gigantic vehicles and fight in 4v4 battles.

How does the mode work? In Clan Wars: Leviathans, each team is led by a captain. Only the captain controls the Leviathan, which is built using a variety of weapon systems, armor, support modules, drones, and more. It is important that the captains use only the parts that are useful for their strategy in battle.

When the battle begins, the captain controls the Leviathan while the other team members protect him with their regular vehicles. The team that survives the battle wins.

There are also prizes to be won! Since the new mode Clan Wars: Leviathans is based on a leaderboard, the top 30 clans are rewarded with Uranium every week. Uranium is an important resource used to craft rare weapons. Or you can sell it profitably on the market.

The action game Crossout is even playable in a Battle Royale mode.

At the top edge of the teaser trailer, two symbols can be seen – the flags of Great Britain (Union Jack) and Germany (Iron Cross). Many fans interpret this as a hint that Battlefield V will take place in World War II.

Battlefield 5 Leak

A recent leak from the Chinese PlayStation Store now shows the image of a soldier in action. And fans are sure that it is a US paratrooper from World War II. This is supported by the weapons and equipment of the airborne soldier.

A potential World War 2 setting seems to be more likely. However, tonight this question should be definitively clarified.

Where can I watch the reveal stream? We have embedded the stream for you below. Just before 10:00 PM, the official Twitch channel of Battlefield 5 should go live.

Destiny 2: Clan XP bonus still buggy, this is what you need to pay attention to

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time < 1 minutes

Clan XP rewards are still faulty in Destiny 2 this week. The corresponding reward from Hawthorne still provides items below the current power level of the players. This is how you can circumvent the issue.

destiny-2-hawthorne

Clan XP bug still plagues players: Although some of the most annoying bugs were fixed with Hotfix 1.2.0.2, a known issue is still causing frustration among the Guardians this week.

After the weekly reset on May 22, it is clear – the Clan XP engram from Hawthorne still delivers rewards that are sometimes five levels below the players’ power level.

This once again removes one of the weekly opportunities for Guardians to increase their power level.

Bungie is working on a solution: A week ago, Bungie confirmed that this is a bug and that they are working on a solution. Until the problem is fixed on May 29 with a hotfix, the studio offers a temporary workaround.

This is how you can circumvent the bug: As with last week, you can bypass this error by not redeeming the milestone this week. At the next weekly reset on May 29, the Clan XP engram will then automatically decrypt. The contents will land in your inventory – then correspondingly with a higher power level.

But beware – the rewards will not be marked as new items in the inventory! Make sure you do not accidentally dismantle them.
