A psychologist connects violence and video games. The trigger is the battle royale game Fortnite, which is said to be one of the games where killing people is at the forefront. One psychologist believes that such players desensitize the youth to violence.
On the US website Psychology Today, psychologist Dr. Leonard Sax warns of the “Fortnite epidemic.” Parents should have the courage to forbid their children from playing the game. According to the psychologist, Fortnite aims to kill people and is therefore not suitable for individuals under 18.
In addition, children need to learn self-control if they want to be successful later in life. It is the parents’ job to teach this to their children.
Psychologist warns against Fortnite, proposes “good games”
What does Sax have against Fortnite? Children should learn social skills face-to-face, be physically active, and get enough sleep. According to Sax, a child obsessed with Fortnite would do none of these things.
Moreover, Fortnite is one of the games where killing people is at the forefront. Allegedly, such games desensitize youth to violence.
What does the psychologist advise? Parents should set limits for their children and in the case of Fortnite, say that it is not an appropriate game.
Sax does not mean to say that parents should completely ban video games, but they should teach their children self-restraint and set guidelines that the children should adhere to while playing video games:
No more than 40 minutes of video games per day on school days
No more than one hour per day on weekends
Game time does not accumulate: If the child does not play for three weeks, it should not mean they can spend seven hours on a Saturday playing video games. That is binge gaming and harmful
Additionally, children should be allowed to play video games only after all their homework and chores are done
Dr. Sax also advises that children should not play games where the main goal involves killing people. In addition to Fortnite, this includes Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto. However, games like NBA Live, Wii Bowling, Madden NFL Football, or Candy Crush are perfectly fine.
Self-control important for future life
Self-control as the highest value of education: Many parents give in to their children’s urging to play Fortnite to make them happy. According to Sax, this is the wrong approach. One must do better.
According to Sax, parents should awaken a yearning for something better and more permanent in their children, rather than “video games or Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner on Instagram.” Parents should also not worry about their child’s popularity among peers. According to the psychologist, popularity among teenagers is a significant risk factor for future life.
Studies have shown that “self-control” is immensely important for children and their later careers. It is more important than a high IQ, good grades, or many friends. Those who learn self-control as children will have the best chances of being wealthy, healthy, and happy 20 years later.
While it has become unpopular to say such things today, this taboo is a reason that fear and depression among American teenagers are on the rise. Sax refers to his own book “Boys Adrift: the five factors driving the growing epidemic of unmotivated boys and underachieving young men.”
If the child strongly believes they need simulated combat in their life, then Sax suggests taking them to paintball one afternoon.
Who is this psychologist? Dr. Leonard Sax is a family therapist in Pennsylvania and an author. With books on the topic of “parenting,” he has made it to the New York Times bestseller list.
Fortnite is a topic that many parents are dealing with due to the low age rating by the USK and its high popularity among children and adolescents:
The expansion of fast internet in Germany is progressing. Until 2025, the majority of the population is expected to have access to a gigabit connection – but not all customers are willing to pay higher costs for it.
What is a gigabit connection necessary for? A gigabit connection is particularly worthwhile if you do not want to wait long for a large download and there are perhaps multiple people streaming 4K movies simultaneously in the house, while others watch videos on YouTube and someone else is still playing an MMO. Nowadays, many gamers buy their games digitally and first have to download several gigabytes before they can play. Also, patches and updates are becoming larger. No one wants to wait long for downloads to finish. With 1,000 Mbit/s (one gigabit) as the download speed, even large files download quickly.
What does fast internet bring for MMORPGs? For gaming itself, a gigabit line is not necessary. Much more important than speed is a stable connection and also the ping, or latency. You can essentially game well with a speed of 1 Mbit/second. However, a ping of 150-200 is problematic in competitive games such as online shooters or PvP-focused MMOs.
How do Germans feel about fast internet? Of course, almost everyone wants fast internet. According to a survey by the industry association Bitkom (where 999 households were surveyed), 62 percent of respondents want faster downloads and 37 percent want faster uploads. 34 percent find it important that the connection is fast enough so that even with many people in one household using the internet at the same time, it does not affect the speed for an individual.
A fast connection is mandatory if you want to stream!
Are Germans also willing to spend more money for fast internet? The crucial point is the price. According to the survey, 42 percent of respondents want fast internet but do not want to spend more money than they currently do. 18 percent are willing to pay less than 10 euros more. 24 percent would even pay up to 20 euros more. On average, the surveyed households are willing to pay 14 euros more if they could get a gigabit connection for that.
How much does a gigabit connection cost? Gigabit connections are expected to be offered this year over cable (Unitymedia or Vodafone) in several cities in Germany. The city of Bochum has already made a start this month. The gigabit connection costs 50 euros for 24 months. After that, 110 euros are due. Deutsche Telekom also offers this speed through a special tariff – but at a price of around 120 euros.
Monster Hunter World was your entry into the series and you enjoyed the action RPG. Are you now considering buying Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (XX) for the Nintendo Switch? It is important to note that both games differ significantly in some ways.
Capcom announced Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (XX) for the Nintendo Switch. This game will offer you a “classic” Monster Hunter experience. Many comfort features and modernizations that you know from Monster Hunter World are not present here. However, you can expect over 80 monsters and special combat moves tied to hunting styles.
“Monster Hunter Generations” is the main installment that came before World
Monster Hunter Generations was released in 2016 on the Nintendo 3DS. It is the fourth main entry in the series. Monster Hunter World was released in early 2018 and is number 5.
Those who switch from Monster Hunter World to Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate are essentially taking a step back. This can also be seen in the graphics:
In-game screenshots of the Dämonjho in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate
“Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate” is an expansion
With the Ultimate version, Capcom is bringing a DLC for Monster Hunter Generations to the Nintendo Switch. These Ultimate expansions are typical for the franchise.
They usually include the G-Rank, which makes monsters stronger and gives them more health or new moves. Additionally, there are always a few new contents. In the case of Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, there are two new hunting styles with special combat moves.
Many comfort features from World are missing
Capcom wanted to conquer the West with Monster Hunter World and modernize the franchise. Therefore, some comfort features were introduced that do not exist in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate.
Weapon downgrading: If you have created and upgraded a weapon, it is impossible to take it apart again.
Wish lists: In World, you can specify which equipment you want on the wish list. Once you have the materials for it, the list notifies you. This list does not exist in Generations.
Seamless transitions between zones: Each map is divided into zones marked by numbers. In Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, you will have to go through a loading screen every time you switch zones.
Multiple camps on the map: There is only one camp per map where you can retreat. However, the maps are smaller.
Canteen in the camp: Canteens where you get meals for buffs are only outside the map. Therefore, you must eat before embarking on a mission.
Fast travel to camps: You have to walk to the camp on the map; there is no fast travel.
Equipment exchange in camps: Only the equipment you selected before the mission is available. You cannot change it at the camp.
Displayed resource points on the map: If you find certain resources like bones in World, these will be saved on the map. In Generations, you have to remember the resource points.
Scout flies instead of color markers: Scout flies pick up the trail of a monster and lead you to your target. In Generations, you must mark the monsters yourself with a color ball. The color ball loses its effect over time. Tracking a monster can take longer this way.
Displayed weaknesses of monsters: Through the monster encyclopedia, you learn what weaknesses a monster has and what loot it drops. This is not the case in Generations.
Damage numbers: There is no indicator that tells you how much damage you have dealt.
Speaking NPCs: The characters in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate do not speak with you. There are only displayed texts.
Auto-crafting: You must manually craft consumables.
Using items while walking: If you want to use a consumable like a health potion, you must stand still.
Unlimited whetstones: You must craft whetstones, and they are consumed. If you run out of whetstones on a quest and your weapon has lost all sharpness, you have a problem.
Pie menu for items: The pie menu that allows quick access to consumables does not exist. You only have the scroll menu available.
The gameplay is different, especially in combat
From the gameplay, you can expect roughly the same in Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate as in World. You will mostly be busy hunting monsters and improving your equipment.
With the hunting styles, you specialize in a certain combat style. Each style grants you various evasive actions, special attacks, and different hunting techniques. Monster Hunter Generations had four hunting styles. The Ultimate DLC coming to the Switch adds two new styles as an expansion.
The six hunting styles in Monster Hunter XX and what they do:
Bravery – New: rewards successful attacks with new moves
Alchemy Style – New: support items can be crafted quickly in combat
Guild Style: classic Monster Hunter gameplay
Aerial Style: allows attacks from the air
Slasher Style: three instead of two hunting techniques can be used
Counter Style: faster attacks and counters
The hunting techniques are large, dramatic actions. To execute them, a technique gauge must be filled, which happens by attacking monsters. You can then perform actions like wide sweeping attacks or absolute evasion.
Hunting as a Palico in Prowler mode
In Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, you can also hunt monsters as a Palico. To do this, you must first recruit the cats as allies. Once you register your ally as a Prowler, you can control the cat yourself. You can switch between Palico and your hunter at will.
Armors based on weapon types: In World, your armors and weapons are independent of each other. In Generations, some sets can only be worn in combination with specific weapon types. They are divided into Blademaster (melee) and Shooter (ranged).
Weapons must be crafted instead of upgraded: The weapon tree in World works such that you mostly upgrade your weapons. In Generations, you mostly have to craft new weapons.
The environment cannot be used: World offers a vivid ecosystem where you can actively use nature in gameplay. In Generations, there are no bomb toads or vines that you can use to influence monsters. Monsters also do not have territory fights in Generations.
Multiplayer and single-player are strictly separated: You have quests available that you can play solo and those you can play with friends.
There is no drop-in: You cannot join ongoing quests and there is no SOS signal.
There is no clear main quest line: World was the first part of the series to follow a clear story quest line. Generations has less story and does not have a clearly defined structure.
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate has more monsters and maps
Monster Hunter Generations is one of the most extensive games in the series and is set to be further expanded with the Ultimate version. Here there are:
More than 80 large monsters
23 maps to explore
Monster Hunter World has about 35 large monsters and 9 areas in comparison. We do not know how many more monsters or maps the game may be expanded with.
If the age of Monster Hunter Generations does not bother you, you can purchase it without worry
Leya says: If you got into the series with Monster Hunter World and enjoyed it, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate could certainly be interesting for you. The gameplay remains the same, and you will experience a fun grind.
The hunting styles and the Prowler mode, where you become a Palico yourself, give you plenty of room to experiment and specialize.
However, you will also encounter outdated mechanics. The game is therefore much more cumbersome than you are used to in World. But if you don’t mind “losing” the comfort features or modernizations, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate rewards you with extensive content and mechanics.
In the video below, you can check out some Switch gameplay of Monster Hunter XX.

The Overwatch Contenders team from Philadelphia Fusion, Fusion University, had to compete in the semifinals and finals of the first season wearing plain black T-shirts this weekend. Their official T-shirts were banned by the authorities, presumably because the inscription “FU” was considered too risky.
This weekend, viewers of the finals of the first season of Overwatch Contenders were puzzled: The team from Philadelphia Fusion, Fusion University, appeared in the semifinals and finals in plain black T-shirts instead of their team jerseys.
Jerseys were “too hot” for the authorities
What happened? Philadelphia Fusion shared on Twitter this weekend that the authorities of Overwatch Contenders banned the jerseys of Fusion University. A possible reason given was the “risky” inscription FU for Fusion University, which can also be read as “Fuck You”.
How did Fusion University react? Also via Twitter, the staff of Philadelphia Fusion mocked the decision. Some memes poked fun at the ban on the shirts. Additionally, a sale for the affected jerseys was announced.

However, subtle criticism was also expressed: The CFO of Philadelphia Fusion, Joe Marsh, posted a four-part meme to highlight the league’s double standards. While jerseys with the “FU” inscription were banned, the Houston Outlaws player CoolMatt is allowed to wear the player number 69, which also refers to a sexual practice.
Officially approved by Blizzard is also the belt buckle of Overwatch hero Jesse McCree. It reads the abbreviation “BAMF”, which stands for “Badass Motherfucker”. The belt buckle is not just a small detail but is even highlighted in a highlight intro.
However, Fusion University did not let itself be dissuaded by all the fuss about their jersey: The team managed to win the final 4-1 against Toronto.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance has convinced many RPG fans that you don’t need magic and monsters to create an exciting medieval world. The Flower of Knighthood is a new indie MMORPG from Russia that focuses on realism and does without magic and monsters.
Many players of the single-player RPG Kingdom Come: Deliverance would love to explore the beautiful game world together with friends. However, that is not possible. They ask why no MMORPG is being made with the core values of Kingdom Come.
The Flower of Knighthood could fulfill players’ wishes. The fresh MMORPG project from Russia focuses on realism in all aspects.
An Authentic Medieval MMORPG
What is The Flower of Knighthood? With The Flower of Knighthood, the indie developer team Eaglance aims to create an MMORPG that offers as authentic a medieval experience as possible. There are no monsters and no magic, no teleportation. The game focuses on realism, both in terms of the game world and gameplay systems.
What does the MMORPG offer? The Flower of Knighthood aims to consciously differentiate itself from other MMORPGs, even in core elements:
Fights without randomness and without hitpoints – You determine exactly which strike you perform and how you block. Combos are important. This is meant to make the fights as realistic as in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Additionally, there are no hitpoints. Armor and the weapon determine the damage. Instead of hitpoints, there are wounds. For example, you can hit limbs, which can no longer be used.
Authentic game world – The developers are reconstructing buildings as authentically as possible to convey the feeling of being in 15th-century European medieval times.
Skills through practice – You improve your skills in the game by using them. It is also possible to unlearn skills, so you should continually train them.
Massive battles – Assemble an army of 1,000 players to fight against armies of other players. You need to be tactical, for example, by letting archers attack from a distance while cavalry strikes at the right moment.
A realistic crafting system – The team is developing, together with Dr. Stephen Mileson from the Oxford University, a crafting system where you follow the exact steps required in the 15th century to create weapons, armor, and other items.
“Photorealistic” graphics – The developers put great emphasis on graphics, utilizing Unreal Engine 4 and innovative photogrammetry technology, where real objects like stones are scanned with a 3D scanner and incorporated into the game.

Can this work? Kingdom Come: Deliverance shows that dragons or magic are not needed to develop an enjoyable RPG. However, the similarly themed and not-so-successful MMORPG Black Death has shown that a medieval MMO with a realistic approach may not necessarily be well received.
For the developers, The Flower of Knighthood represents a balancing act. Too much realism can harm the fun of the game. In the end, it only matters whether the MMO is fun to play.
At the moment, it is not yet clear when the MMORPG The Flower of Knighthood will be released. The release is planned for PC. The team is based in St. Petersburg, Russia.

The actor Josh Brolin does not really understand what this Thanos in Fortnite Battle: Royale is all about. Does he still like the appearance?
Thanos is the nasty guy from Avengers: Infinity War and is currently playable in Fortnite Battle Royale for a short time. Now the actor Josh Brolin, who portrays Thanos in the film, responded to the appearance in the Battle Royale Game. Brolin does not understand why the guy dances in the game. But if he is dancing, Brolin would have liked to take over the dances himself.
“I don’t know if I like that …”
In an interview with IGN, it becomes clear that Josh Brolin has nothing to do with the Thanos in Fortnite. “I’ve seen this Fortnite thing everywhere. Fortnite. Thanos. And I had no idea what they were even talking about,” says Brolin.
The quotes that Thanos delivers in Fortnite probably don’t come exclusively from Brolin, but were likely taken from the movie.
Then Josh Brolin was shown the dance moves that the otherwise nasty character happily presents in Fortnite. “Why is he dancing? I don’t understand that. I don’t know if I like it.”
Although he would have liked to be in charge of the dancing. “I wish I had done the motion capture for that,” says Brolin and explains that he himself is a good dancer.

It seems that Brolin is still not completely convinced by Thanos’ appearance in Fortnite Battle Royale. Perhaps he has already seen these silly Fortnite emotes that make Thanos a joke. No wonder the villain has little understanding for the dancing Thanos.

Eleven years the MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online has been around – time for a little fresh color in older areas.
Although the MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online is still doing well and is continuously provided with fresh content, you can still tell that the game shows its age. Especially in the older areas. Therefore, these are now being revised.
Graphical Improvements of Older Areas
Which zones will be graphically improved? We are talking about the oldest and most iconic areas that are to be revised. The first one is Bree-land, a starter zone that is still highly frequented today. The village of Bree is a meeting point for many players, and festivals are often held here, including popular concerts organized by players.
How will the zones be revised? Bree-land will receive higher resolution textures, nicer water, detailed trees, and some surprises that players can look forward to, which will also make it interesting for veterans to explore the zone again.
Which area is next? The team has completed the work on Bree-land and will next focus on the zone Ered Luin, where the developers primarily want to make the mountains look better.
Why is it so important to revise these areas? Especially for newcomers, the beginner zones are important because they provide the first impression of the game. If someone doesn’t feel “at home” right away and feels like they are playing a graphically outdated MMORPG, they might not stick around for long.
Fans of The Lord of the Rings Online can look forward to a slightly prettier MMORPG. With the upcoming Update 23, we should get to see the graphical improvements.
In the lead-up to the Warmind expansion for Destiny 2, Bungie advertised new strikes as a core feature. However, these are more like recycled products than new content. The only truly new strike was received by players on PS4. Fans are disappointed.
Community disillusioned: As is customary in the Destiny series, the Warmind DLC also expanded the main game with some new strikes. These are a kind of mini-dungeon meant to provide players with a new experience and additional group content outside the story.
With the Warmind DLC, fans received three new strikes. Two were available to all players – “Will of the Thousands” and “Strange Terrain”. The third strike, “Insight Terminus”, is exclusive to PS4 players. But after the first gameplay experiences, disillusionment quickly set in among the community. Because the strikes are certainly not what the Guardians envisioned.
Strike recycling disappoints fans
The problem: The content of the two regular strikes is not really new and offers no new experience at all. Rather, they consist of recycled missions from the story of the second expansion.
The process hardly differs from regular missions. There are no new location sections. You will also search in vain for new enemies, strike bosses, or special mechanics.
In short: Both strikes, which are available cross-platform, offer no new content. Once you have played through the story, you also know the strikes.
Particularly bitter: Especially PC and Xbox players are disappointed and consider the strikes a farce. Not only do PS4 players get one more strike – the only truly new content is offered by the PlayStation-exclusive “Insight Terminus” strike. And it is supposed to remain exclusive at least until autumn 2018.
One of the core features advertised by Bungie is completely absent on Xbox One and PC. Fan outcry is growing, with Bungie even being accused of fraud and misleading advertising. Because before release, Bungie explicitly advertised the Warmind expansion with new strikes as one of the core elements.
Furthermore, there is anger that Bungie evidently has not changed its thinking in this area – even though the studio does not tire of emphasizing how much they listen to the fans. Because strike recycling was already a massive point of criticism in the first expansion “Curse of Osiris”. There, too, both strikes were essentially just reused missions from the DLC story.
In Bungie’s defense: Essentially, the strikes are indeed new, because the story missions are also new and have not been played before. At the beginning of the DLC, none of the Guardians had seen them yet. Fans are frustrated that they already know the strikes by the time they play them. But in that sense, the strikes are indeed “new”.
After the WoW villain Sargeras was defeated in Antorus, the Burning Throne, he drives his sword deep into the planet Azeroth. The cinematic doesn’t show much else. A fan machinima named “Extinction” now provides a deeper, bloody insight…
As Sargeras thrusts his sword into Azeroth, hundreds die. Silithus is an area where Horde and Alliance have been steadily warring for years. After Sargeras was defeated, he thrusts his sword right into this area. Some players were disappointed that the effects are not more spectacular.
A fan took the effort to create a machinima for this reason. It shows much more accurately and brutally what the titan’s wrath has caused. Warning: The deaths of many characters are shown in great detail.

With the release of the Warmind expansion, the new event Escalation Protocol has come to Destiny 2. We explain in our guide what to consider in this new event so you can master it successfully and loot the best rewards.
Almost a week after the launch of the Warmind DLC for Destiny 2, there are still open questions among fans about the Escalation Protocol. We aim to clarify the last uncertainties and provide you with some tips to make your experience easier during this event. Here’s what you should know:
What is the Escalation Protocol?
The core features:
Hive Escalation is a kind of horde mode
You fight against the Cabal in increasingly stronger waves
There are a total of seven waves
Each wave has a mini-boss, while the final boss awaits in the seventh wave
There are a total of five unique final bosses with their own loot that rotate each week
There are 3 reward chests – after the third, the fifth, and the final boss in the seventh wave
Where can you find the event?
The Escalation Protocol only exists on Mars. It can be started in the Braytech Futurescape zone and in the Glacial Drift. Both areas have their own landing zones. You should have no trouble finding the right area.
What are the requirements for participation?
To start the event itself, you must have completed the story of the Warmind DLC. Participation is already possible beforehand – you can join an ongoing event even before completing the campaign. However, due to the power level requirement of the Escalation Protocol, this is not particularly advisable. You will die more than you will play.
The recommended power level for this event is 370. The Escalation Protocol starts at 370 and becomes progressively harder with each wave. The final boss has a power level of 400. If you are under 340, you will hit your limit by the third wave when it comes to effectively contributing to the battle.
A maximum of three fireteams of three Guardians – a total of 9 players – can participate in this event. Normally, it is only possible to start such an event with two friends or to join an ongoing event. The remaining participants will be random.
However, there is a way to tackle the Escalation Protocol with up to 8 friends!
You can activate the Valkyrie using the Rasputin weapon codes. To do this, you need to interact with a ventilation shaft. Look for ventilation shafts that emit green gas. Only there will the new relic weapon spawn upon activation.
You can obtain the codes from chests, mini-bosses, and other “Yellow Bars” as well as after public events and other activities on Mars. One code is consumed for each activation of the Valkyrie Spear.
What should be done to successfully master the event?
During the event, you will face 7 waves of Cabal. The enemies will become increasingly stronger as the event progresses.
Each wave consists of four rounds: for three rounds, you will deal with different Cabal enemies, followed by a mini-boss.
All waves have a time limit. In waves 1-6, you have three minutes for the first three rounds and one minute for the wave boss (except for public events). If you fail to complete the tasks within this time frame, the wave is considered failed and the event is finished.
If you master the wave, you subsequently have one minute to activate the next tower and thus the next wave.
Waves 1-6
The first 6 waves follow a similar pattern. The goal is to solve various tasks under time pressure and defeat the mini-bosses before the timer runs out. You resolve the individual elements as follows:
Eliminate the Cabal: Here, the goal is to eliminate charging enemy hordes.
Locate and disable one or more Shadow Rifts: Here you must find greenish shimmering circular rifts and stand in them to capture them. The more people stand in the rift, the faster it goes. Then, the floating crystals around the rift must be destroyed. Only then is the rift considered disabled.
Eliminate all Cabal bosses: Here, the goal is to send the mini-bosses of the respective waves to the virtual afterlife within the allotted time.
In one of the waves, you must survive the onslaught of the Cabal while completing a public event taking place nearby (for example, WarSat). The event must be completed heroically. If you fail to trigger the heroic version of the public event, the wave is considered failed. Moreover, all bosses of the Escalation Protocol must also be defeated.
In the seventh wave, the game throws pretty much everything at you – from Witches to Screebs and even massive Ogres, everything the Cabal has to offer is involved. Here’s what you should keep in mind:
The key here is to survive. So find a good cover where you are well protected and can effectively engage the enemies.
Additionally, you should face the Cabal with as large a group as possible in the last wave. It’s important to stick together as a group. This significantly simplifies the frequent revives.
First, you should eliminate all appearing enemies. This prevents you from being overwhelmed. Furthermore, the enemies also feed the energy shield of the boss, making him immune to incoming damage.
Once the shield is gone, you can then take on the final boss.
Fresh adds will spawn again. You repeat the last two steps accordingly until the final boss is defeated.
Use power weapons primarily – sufficient ammunition should be available.
Use your super and abilities as often as possible. This will generate orbs for other players and contribute significantly to the group’s damage output.

Bring enough Rasputin weapon chamber codes. The Valkyrie will become an important ally on the way to the final boss. The relic weapon is particularly effective against the mini-bosses.
Remember the spawn points. Particularly Nightstalkers can greatly ease the team’s life with their super and pave the way for further effective super uses from other classes.
Also use the swords dropped by some Cabal Knights when possible. They can effectively eliminate entire groups of enemies without wasting super or power ammunition.
Bring different power weapons. Snipers, rocket launchers, and shotguns should definitely be included. Don’t hesitate to switch these weapons multiple times depending on the situation. Sufficient ammunition should almost always be available.
Rasputin weapon chamber codes cannot be used during the wave with the public event.
If a public event is active nearby, the Escalation Protocol cannot be started.
If you fail in the first two waves of the Escalation Protocol, you start over. If you fail at a higher level, you have one minute to restart the activity at the last successfully completed level. If you fail again upon restart, you have one minute to restart the event at the next lower level.
The new patch 4.3 “Under the Moonlight” will continue the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood on May 22. Here are all the currently known important details about the patch and its content.
The German trailer for “Under the Moonlight” shows a small “sneak preview” of the upcoming content and especially the story of Stormblood, which dramatically concludes the storyline in Doma.

A viable alternative to Destiny 2 has been discovered by our author Robert, of all places, on mobile devices! Shadow Gun Legends is available as a free download for iOS and Android – and it’s surprisingly good. We are putting it to the test.
Yes, I admit it, my patience with Destiny 2 has run out. I completed the first mission of the new Warmind expansion and then quit the game, disappointed. My first mission reward turned out to be a selection of reskins with the same boring perks I have seen dozens of times. No, thank you.
If you want to indulge your Destiny addiction without playing Destiny 2, it’s tough, isn’t it? In fact, for the past few days, I’ve been quite engaged with a game that is at home on mobile devices and obviously has “borrowed” elements from Bungie’s shooter. You could also say: It’s a Destiny clone.
Shadowgun Legends – Download on Android and iOS
The game is called Shadowgun Legends and has been available for free since March on iOS and Android. Shadowgun Legends is the spiritual successor to Shadowgun from 2011, which reminded more of Gears of War. However, the successor only sporadically builds on the original – prior knowledge is not necessary.
You’re wondering how good a Destiny clone can be on a mobile device? Well, surprisingly good. You do have a character level, but what is much more important is the power level, which is based on the gear you are currently wearing.
Mobile game with nice graphics: Developer Madfinger Games has done a great job with the graphics. If you have a high-end device and can play on the highest graphics settings, you’ll experience a remarkably pretty game by mobile standards.
Shadowgun Legends – The Destiny clone?
The similarities to Destiny 2 don’t end with the power level:
You can collect holograms, which you can then convert into gear with an NPC. No, this person is not called Rahool, but Pedro:
Ammo boxes look like this:
If you are not on a mission, you mingle with other players in a hub that is controlled in third-person view. In this hub, there are merchants, access to PvP, and the mission triggers.
Shadowgun Legends – Gameplay and Missions
How good is the gunplay of Shadowgun Legends? Surprisingly good. Even though I had initial problems with the camera (the Y-axis cannot be inverted), the missions and fights are surprisingly fun.
The controls are intuitive. With one finger, you move your character through the missions, and with the other hand, you control the camera. If you aim a weapon at an enemy, your weapon automatically fires (can be disabled in the options). Anyone who double-taps the screen switches to the weapon’s aim view.
Of course, the controls of Shadowgun Legends do not reach the complexity of Destiny 2: you can neither crouch nor jump. This makes the game very straightforward and facilitates the entry.
If you have the option to talk to NPCs, hack terminals, or open crates, a separate button appears, keeping the UI tidy.
Character development in Shadowgun Legends: You have the option to distribute skill points after level-ups, which are divided into the areas of combat, survival, and mobility.
Additionally, you can unlock skills like a turret or grenades, which you have access to during a mission from time to time. You can also unlock support skills that allow your teammates to heal you.
What is the weapon system like in Shadowgun Legends? The weapon system is based on Destiny 1 – you have access to a handgun / sidearm, a primary weapon, and a heavy weapon. Switching weapons is easy; you just have to tap the weapon symbols in the upper right corner.
Not a fan of touch controls? No problem, Shadowgun Legends offers controller support.
How do the missions play and how long do they take? Missions in Shadowgun Legends are significantly shorter than in Destiny 2. You should plan about 5-10 minutes for a mission, depending on your own strength. The game is thus excellent for one or two rounds “in between”.
However, don’t expect much variety in the missions. You will often have to return to already visited areas. Primarily, it’s about shooting the bad guys, of course.
By the way, Destiny veterans will feel right at home with the enemies: foes that resemble the Hive or nasty ones that not only bear a resemblance to the Cabal Phalanxes at first glance.
In raids, you should plan a bit more time, as fights with larger opponents last about 30 minutes, which are also garnished with smaller puzzles and riddles. In terms of matchmaking, Shadowgun Legends has the edge over Destiny 2 – all activities support player search, be it PvP, raids, or missions.
How “free-to-play” is Shadowgun Legends really? Unlike other F2P games, you don’t use energy for missions – you can play as long as you want. There is a real-money currency, which, however, is not prominently displayed dozens of times.
This currency is mainly used for cosmetic items like headgear, emotes, or weapon colors.
But here’s a catch: You start with only 15 slots in your inventory. To upgrade to 96 slots, you need to purchase something in the shop. It doesn’t matter how much money you spend. With every transaction, there is a golden ring that significantly expands your inventory. Anyone who wants to play Shadowgun Legends longer will probably not escape this step.
How much battery does Shadowgun Legends consume? Tested on an iPhone 7 Plus and an iPad Pro – and the battery consumption is definitely noticeable. Anyone who wants to play longer on the go should get a power bank.
How good is Shadowgun Legends as a Destiny alternative?
If you want to play Destiny without resorting to the original, you can have fun with Shadowgun Legends. The graphics are remarkably good for a mobile game, the gameplay is fun, and all activities can be played cooperatively.
The real-money shop stays discreetly in the background (aside from the necessary inventory expansion) and primarily serves as a basis for cosmetic items.
Have you tried Shadowgun Legends yet? What do you think of the shooter?
If anyone expected a simple port of H1Z1 from the PC version on the PS4, they might be surprised. The PlayStation 4 version of the battle royale shooter is said to play differently – significantly faster and more like PUBG.
This will not be a simple port
H1Z1 on the PS4 is going to be a real console game: The developers behind H1Z1 have set out to make this version “different.” They have worked hard to adapt the game to the PlayStation 4 – not only in terms of controls but also gameplay. If you compare H1Z1 on PC and PS4, you get nearly two different titles.
What’s different? There are several changes compared to the PC version that make H1Z1 on the PS4 feel “slimmer” and play faster and more fluidly:
As in other battle royale games, the play area also shrinks over time in H1Z1. However, the green gas cloud spreads more quickly on PC, making rounds faster.
There is no more crafting system. Players should focus entirely on the action.
You will find more weapons in the game world, including guns that don’t exist in the PC version yet – including the shotgun, a scout rifle, and the CNQ-09 SMG with suppressor. There’s also a heavy machine gun.
It’s important to search the play area for useful equipment like helmets and armor.
Supplies are dropped more frequently over the play area.
There is a weapon leveling system. This means that at the beginning you will only find light weapons, but as the fog gets closer, more powerful weapons will appear
What do the changes bring? Because of these changes, H1Z1 plays significantly faster and the focus is, like in PUBG, on the battles. You can concentrate fully on searching for equipment and eliminating your opponents in fast-paced combat. This is an effort by the developers to counteract the downward trend that the PC version of the game is currently facing.
Check it out – Gameplay of H1Z1 on the PS4
You’ll find out how exactly it plays if you participate in the closed beta of the battle royale shooter H1Z1 that started on May 9.
New keys will be distributed on May 14. Register through the official website and with a bit of luck, you will receive a key. A longer gameplay video has also been released, giving you a good insight into the PS4 game.
H1Z1 will start an open beta on May 22.

The new PvE event inDestiny 2 is called Escalation Protocol. In this endgame activity, you can regularly participate with up to two additional friends. However, a glitch makes it possible to tackle this event with up to 8 friends.
What is the Escalation Protocol? The Escalation Protocol from the Warmind DLC is a new type of public event with horde mode characteristics. Participants face the Hive in increasingly stronger waves. Each wave has a mini-boss, while the end boss awaits in the seventh wave. If you manage to send the final boss to the virtual afterlife, attractive unique loot awaits.
What is special about the glitch? The event is challenging and requires a larger and coordinated group, especially in its final phases. You usually depend on luck and the skill of the other players.
A maximum of three fireteams of three Guardians – so a maximum of 9 players – can participate in this event. Regularly, it is possible to start such an event with at most two friends. The remaining participants are all random and determined by chance.
However, there is also a way to tackle the Escalation Protocol with up to 8 friends. This can enhance your chances of victory. A recently discovered glitch makes it possible.
Escalation Protocol with 8 friends? Here’s how:
The mechanics behind the fast travel function on the map now allow players to gather with up to 9 friends and tackle this activity together. This even surpasses the size of a raid team. Previously, the maximum team size for group activities was 6 players.
If you want to make your life easier in the Escalation Protocol, you should consider the following:
Gather all of you (max. 9 players) so that you can communicate with each other – whether through a party, WhatsApp group, TeamSpeak, or otherwise.
Each of you starts solo into the game and flies to the location you agreed upon on Mars – do not form fireteams yet! This is extremely important and the only possible way!
Once you land on Mars, use the fast travel function on the map until you meet one of your friends.
When the first two meet, they will wait in this zone while the rest continues to use fast travel. Keep practicing this until three friends – solo and not as a fireteam – find themselves in the same zone.
Pay special attention to the names – they are not highlighted in green and can be easily overlooked at first. Experience shows that coming together happens relatively quickly.
Once three friends have found each other, each of them can invite up to two more players and then form a fireteam.
This way, you can now tackle this activity with a total of up to 9 people. If you are playing with fewer players, you can adjust this system accordingly.
Fortnite: Battle Royale is bursting at the seams. Customer service representatives are feeling it too. They deal day in and day out with banned cheaters, unhappy girlfriends, and kids who got hacked after wanting free V-Bucks.
Customer service representative speaks: The US site Kotaku spoke with a support representative from Fortnite. She remains anonymous, however, as company policy generally prohibits employees from talking to the press. But the employee “Randi” loves her job and wants to raise awareness about what happens to her every day. Because on forums like Reddit, users often complain about customer support. However, this is undeserved.
Many new colleagues: Randi says that due to the enormous growth of Fortnite, many new employees have been hired. Therefore, some of her colleagues are still fresh and need time to find their footing. Epic confirmed to the site Winfuture that the support team increased sevenfold from December 2017 to April 2018 . Another doubling is planned.
Delicious free V-Bucks lead to hacked accounts
Children often get scammed: One of the largest customer groups seems to be young players who fall for one of the many scam sites on the internet. These sites promise them free V-Bucks – you just have to enter your information. The accounts of children who do this are often hacked. The kids complain to customer service about it and want their account back, from which they were locked out.
Here, automated response macros help. They basically say: “Log in with your email address on our website and change your password.” However, customer service representatives must often take action themselves and explain things more clearly. Younger players are not yet very familiar with the game and do not understand some things.
Cheater kids want their money back: Teens often download cheats and get filtered out and banned. You hear the most adventurous stories. They often claim they only wanted to test it. Cheaters accuse Epic of making a mistake: “I only had Discord running.” Randi laughs: Then we’d have to ban all PC players constantly.
The problem with cheaters is that they often complain, blocking the time of support staff. Because you have to respond to them as long as they write, Randi explains. Angry users often demand that Epic give them back the money they spent on V-Bucks. They also curse during this.
Conspiracy theorists, dumped girlfriends, and shotgun victims
Conspiracy theories going around: Some of the most bizarre tickets relate to conspiracy theories. Some apparently believe Fortnite is pay-to-win. The idea circulates that players who spend a lot of money in the cash shop also deal increased damage with the magical skins.
Shotgun victims: Every day, Randi receives complaints about shotguns. At least once a day, she receives a ticket complaining that shotguns are criminally strong. Randi laughs about it and says: “Every time I see such a ticket, I think: Okay, someone just died.”
Often just nonsense: In addition to the normal complaints, the team receives many insults as well. Or people just type random letters and send it anyway. Regarding the insults, Randi says: “I wish they would just tell us what their problem is instead of insulting us. Because we really want to help.”
There are also frequent complaints from young girls to support. They complain that their friends spend too much time on Fortnite. The customer service representatives probably won’t be able to help with that.

The next Overwatch Anniversary Event apparently brings back many skins from other events into the game. At least that’s what a leak suggests. Find out all the leaked details about the Overwatch Anniversary Event here.
The Overwatch Anniversary Event is set to start on May 22. The official Brazilian Twitter account of Overwatch accidentally published a video too early. The video is a teaser for this year’s Anniversary Event, which according to the video is set to start on May 22.
The video also shows a new skin for Junkrat. In a brief scene, the Australian demolitions expert dances in a pirate look that strongly resembles Jack Sparrow.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIVuODwxExw
Are skins and brawls from other events available?
The video shows skins from other events. Particularly noticeable in the leak video is that Roadhog and Junkrat are also wearing skins from other events. Specifically, they are shown dancing in their costumes from the Halloween event and the Winter Wonderland 2017.
The text next to the video also suggests this. It states that items and content from past seasons will return. Some fans are primarily concerned with the question of whether the skins will be available in loot boxes or only for purchase. If they were in the boxes, it would be almost impossible to obtain the new skins.
A Reddit post discusses the leak in detail. Users are speculating about how Blizzard will integrate the various content. Particularly, the question of whether event modes from the arcade will also be available again is still in the air.
Last year, the event included double experience points for all players. Double experience points were the most important feature of the Anniversary Event for many fans. Especially in groups, leveling up and thus obtaining loot boxes was greatly accelerated.
The Anniversary Event also brought new maps for the 3v3 mode, skins, and dances for all characters. Additionally, there was a free weekend for everyone to test Overwatch.
NCSoft has disclosed the business figures for their MMORPGs in Q1 2018. How did Guild Wars 2, Blade & Soul, and AION perform at the beginning of the year?
Guild Wars 2 is stabilizing again. In the last quarter, sales skyrocketed due to the expansion “Path of Fire”, significantly boosting the revenues of Guild Wars 2. These revenues have decreased again, but are at a significantly higher level than the previous year. Sales fell by 32% compared to the last quarter, but are up 66% compared to Q1 2017.
NCSoft invests in the future of Blade & Soul
Blade & Soul is getting a new engine. The PC MMORPG Blade and Soul is performing somewhat weaker, both compared to the last quarter and the previous year. However, Blade and Soul is overall so stable that NCSoft is providing the MMORPG an upgrade to Unreal Engine 4. New gathering activities and fishing are also planned. It seems that NCSoft continues to invest in the MMORPG.
Blade & Soul 2 has been postponed. However, there is trouble regarding the mobile MMORPG “Blade and Soul 2”. It was initially supposed to be released in 2018, but it does not meet the expectations of NCSoft and will therefore be postponed to 2019. There are talks of a redesign and a new team.
Patch 6.0 makes AION the winner
AION is the big winner. The older MMORPG AION (2008) is the winner in NCSoft’s financial report. It is the only game that has shown growth. Revenues increased by 48%. This is due to a changed monetization strategy. This concerns the Patch 6.0 for AION, which was released in January in Korea and apparently brought about a significant turnaround. Until then, AION in South Korea was a subscription game, with 6.0 shifting to free-to-play. The patch was also supposed to “bring back the glorious times” by reversing some controversial changes. It seems to have succeeded at least in terms of revenues.
Stable, calm quarter – future Mobile. In the second half of 2017, the tremendous success of the mobile MMORPG “Lineage M” led to fantastic figures for NCSoft. The noise around Lineage M has quieted this quarter, although it still generates more revenue than all five PC MMORPGs combined. Lineage 2 M is planned for 2019, which could have a similar impact. Overall, NCSoft is heavily investing in Mobile. There are several plans for the upcoming months and years: Aion Legion, AION Tempest, Blade & Soul 2, and Lineage 2 M are four mobile MMORPGs in the pipeline.

The MMORPG AI:R – Ascent: Infinite Realm focuses on PvP battles, but there are also beasts in the world that you have to confront. The developers show you what kind of creatures these are with a small glimpse into the bestiary. Concept art is shown.
A world full of monsters
Where do the creatures come from? The world of Harth in the MMORPG AI:R was afflicted by a terrible catastrophe some time ago. One of the moons collided with the planet, causing large parts of the world to be torn from the planet and now float as islands in the air. This “Great Catastrophe” has changed the wildlife of Harth. Many creatures mutated.
What kind of beings will you encounter? There is a variety of creatures living in the world. Here is a small selection:
Xumhorn – One of the creatures that now roams the floating islands is the Xumhorn. These rhinoceros-like beings developed a skin as hard as stone after the catastrophe. This allowed them to survive volcanic eruptions, meteors falling from the sky, and severe earthquakes. The Xumhorns feed on minerals, which is why they are found near resources, making their extraction dangerous.
Dunclas – You also have to watch out for the Dunclas. These are blind, flying fish attracted by the smell of blood.
Shadow of Death – The dragon-like Shadow of Death can also encounter you. It has a large mouth full of razor-sharp teeth, deadly claws, and robust, scaly skin, making it a very dangerous opponent – even in the air.
But there are also humans
Who else will you meet? In the game, you will encounter not only monsters but also NPCs, including Harras, who has had a hard time in the army of Nous due to his heritage as a Starborn. After leaving the military, he led expeditions, but lost his wife and daughter, which caused him to isolate himself more and more from the outside world. You will meet Harras in the game and learn more about him.
Many fans of PvP-heavy MMORPGs are currently waiting for the release of AI:R. However, it is still not certain when we can expect the start of the beta. But you can already register on the official website for the testing phase.
On May 11, the starting gun was fired for the 2nd raid lair “The Leviathan” from the Warmind DLC for Destiny 2. A lot of Guardians competed in the race for the first raid completion worldwide. After just six and a half hours, the new final boss fell. However, only a few managed to get through the new passage on the first day.
Race for the World-First. On May 11 at 7:00 PM, the Leviathan opened its gates for the Guardians. The race for the World-First raid clear in the Warmind DLC was on. Many players attempted the new raid section.
But most failed. Less than 1% of the participating Guardians made it through the raid on the first day. After a proud 6 hours and 38 minutes, however, the first team succeeded in sending the raid boss Val Ca’uor to the beyond.
Raid Lair “The Leviathan” is still too hard for most
Why was it so difficult? Most players certainly envisioned the journey to the Leviathan differently. Out of nearly 130,000 participating Guardians, only 105 managed to tackle the new raid lair on the first day. More than 99% failed this task.
Before the launch of the 2nd raid section, it was suspected that the recommended power level would be set between 340 and 350. Accordingly, many fans started the new raid motivated and confident. To everyone’s surprise, however, the recommended level was actually at 370. Most players did not meet this requirement at the launch.
Some still made it to the boss. But it was at that point that the limit was reached for most. The final encounter appears to be even harder set at the power level of 380.
This made it impossible for most players to successfully master the final part. Because they were mostly far below that. Many gave up in frustration. They were not well enough equipped for this encounter.
Community Manager DeeJ found the right “comforting” words on Twitter: “Days like today are what happens when the community says this game is too easy.”

Who was the first to complete it? Ultimately, the new raid lair was cracked. After 6 hours and 38 minutes, the Redeem clan became the first group in the world to defeat the final boss. This was confirmed by Bungie on Twitter.

For comparison: Players needed about 7 hours for the much more extensive Oryx raid “King’s Fall” from Destiny 1.
The Redeem clan is already known for other achievements in Destiny 2. For example, this group was the first to complete the raid section of the Spire of Stars with only 3 members. Later, they even achieved this feat with 2 players.
How does the community react? The Guardian community has mixed feelings about the Leviathan.
On one hand, many players find it good that the endgame is finally living up to its reputation. It is hard and truly only intended for high-level characters. Bungie finally found a good balance here.
On the other hand, many are complaining that the recommended power level has been set too high in their eyes. This is artificially stretching the thin content, according to them.
The players of ARK Survival Evolved suspect that the Chinese Tribe TEA is connected to Snail Games. Therefore, the clan could violate the rules and cheat without consequences. Snail Games is a Chinese publisher that has acquired shares in ARK. Studio Wildcard remains silent.
At the beginning of May, a banning wave in ARK Survival Evolved took place, affecting more than 100 accounts worldwide. The Tribe TEA was not banned. Players have been trying to take action against the Tribe TEA on the official servers of ARK Survival Evolved for months.
More and more reports about the Chinese clan are spreading in the community, where players express their displeasure and anger about TEA. Furthermore, video evidence has been provided, clearly showing that TEA cheats in ARK.
TEA’s members use aim bots to their advantage.
TEA’s cheating severely affects other players in PvP
ARK Survival Evolved is a survival MMO where players can join tribes (clans). It is about fighting for survival in a dangerous, prehistoric world and developing further. Tribes build bases and tame dinosaurs as livestock.
One way to acquire new resources is to kill other tribes and steal their possessions. Through cheats like aim bots, players are deprived of a fair competition and always come out worse. This is why honest players are particularly angry. It can take hours to tame even a single dinosaur. Losing this to obvious cheaters is a hard blow to many.
Additionally, players are allowed to travel from server to server at any time, allowing TEA to act freely on official servers. TEA has been known for months to cheat on a massive scale wherever possible.
TEA and the connection to Snail Games – What’s the truth?
The connections between TEA and Snail Games are speculations from the ARK community.There is no solid evidence for this. The community believes that TEA either pays money to Snail Games or that there is some other kind of relationship between the publisher and the clan. There is suspicion that employees of Snail Games might themselves be members of the clan.
It seems unlikely that TEA pays money to Snail Games. TEA has already offered $10,000 to other players to buy their tribes. The suspicion arose because TEA constantly boasts about its wealth. They have even offered to buy servers for $10,000.
The speculations about the connection between Snail Games and TEA have a further troubling undertone. Some players think that Snail Games controls Studio Wildcard since the Chinese invested in ARK Survival Evolved.
Therefore, it is also suspected that Wildcard is not allowed to ban the TEA tribe, as it would otherwise face trouble with Snail Games.
The only response players get to their questions regarding TEA: The enforcement team is responsible for such casesand these are never discussed with the community. The enforcement team ensures that rules are followed and determines which accounts receive a ban.
It is entirely legitimate for a studio not to publicize such cases in principle. However, the silence regarding TEA allows for so much speculation and rumor that Wildcard, with this silence, can only create displeasure.
The players’ response: A global hunt for TEA
The players perceive the situation as unfair and feel betrayed and abandoned by the developers.
Since the big banning wave in early May, more and more players have conspired against TEA and want to draw attention to the situation. Posts and videos from players are surfacing, where they hunt TEA and try to take action against the clan.
The anger towards the tribe and the situation is great. The three big letters TEA can be seen everywhere in the community.
Other players are now advising against playing on official servers to escape the TEA problem. The community managers of ARK Survival Evolved are also facing some harsh words regarding TEA right now. But they probably have little influence on the situation.
Why TEA is allowed to act this way remains a mystery
The banning wave in early May was not the first one that the tribe has survived. Players are puzzled as to why the most obvious cheaters in ARK remain unchecked.
