These 3 formations are used by the professionals in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team

Philipp Junge 23. March 2018 Reading time 5 minutes

In FIFA 18, players have many different formations to choose from. We present you the best lineups used most often by professionals.

Three at the back? Five defenders? Or the classic four-man defense? When choosing a formation in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team, players have many options. Six months after the release of FIFA 18, the best lineups have emerged.

A large number of FIFA professionals and “Top 100” players in the Weekend League use one of these formations. According to a statistic compiled by reddit user “donhuan09”, by early March 76% of the “Top 50” PlayStation players were using these formations.

In our formation guide, you will find an overview of all formations in FIFA 18

The best formations still have the four-man defense

Of course, there is not “the best lineup” for every player. No one plays the game exactly the same, some have more possession, others counter more often. It may well be that a formation that doesn’t suit most feels great for someone else.

In general, however, there are a few factors that hold true for formations regardless of playing style:

The three-man defense is extremely weak at the back. Whenever the opponent comes down the wing, a center-back moves out, leaving the middle and/or the other wing open.
The five-man defense is somewhat playable. However, you need right and left backs who are strong going back and forth and can run long distances. Especially for beginners, a formation with five defenders can be rather difficult to play.
Compactness is key: In FIFA 18, it is more important than ever to be tight in midfield. Extremely wide formations, such as the various 4-3-3 formations, don’t work as well as in previous FIFA editions. To still play the Dutch system effectively, strong possession football is advantageous.

4-1-2-1-2 (2) – The close diamond is strong like in FIFA 17

This formation is likely familiar to many from FIFA 17. It was very popular back then. In FIFA 18, it is probably the most used formation. Also, 30% of the top 50 players play the Weekend League with the close diamond, according to the analysis.

Strengths:

Fast short passing game: The compact midfield usually makes it possible to quickly bridge the middle with many short passes.
One-twos in attack: Simple, but effective – the pass from one striker to another. You do this until one of your attackers runs into the open space and the deadly pass can be played.
Strong pressing: Four central midfielders mean very little space for your opponent in midfield. You force them to switch to the wing and dominate the middle.

Weaknesses:

The wings: Of course, without a single winger, the flanks are extremely open and the full-backs have a lot to do. Therefore, it is essential to give the full-backs the instruction to “stay back while attacking”.
The luck factor: Matches against another team with the close diamond often end in chaos. The midfield is too densely packed, and the play goes back and forth quickly. A formation change to the “4-2-3-1” formation might help!

4-2-3-1 – Three attacking midfielders against the close diamond

This formation only became really popular this season. Four at the back, two defensive midfielders, three attacking midfielders, and one striker – sounds defensive, and it is. Especially when you have problems at the back, this formation is a good way to regain stability. Also very popular among professionals: 26% of the top 50 players use the close 4-2-3-1 formation.

Strengths:

Defensive stability: Two defensive midfielders are extremely helpful for defensive stability. One can pressure the opponent, while the other covers passing lanes. Therefore, two holding midfielders can also counter the close diamond – the one-twos between the strikers can be easier to prevent.
All options in attack: Possession or wing play, with the two outside CAMs acting as half wingers, you are extremely versatile. You can also effectively use the striker as a target man and send the supporting attacking midfielders into open space.

Weaknesses:

Attacking against strong opponents: Once a player defends well and stands defensively or even very defensively, it becomes difficult up front. To create chances, formations with two strikers are better suited.
Defensive midfielders need stamina: Due to the lack of support from a central midfielder, the holding midfielders must run a lot and engage in duels. This takes a toll on stamina and can cause one or two holding midfielders to tire out early.

4-4-2 – The classic makes a comeback

While the classic 4-4-2 with two central midfielders was rarely used at the beginning of FIFA 18, professionals used it especially often in FIFA tournaments. After all, one in five of the top 50 players opts out of the popular close formations and plays 4-4-2.

Strengths:

Strong attack: Two wingers and two strikers supported by two central midfielders – this formation offers almost everything you desire offensively and is extremely versatile. It combines the flexibility of 4-2-3-1 with the double strike of the close diamond.
Countering against close formations: By doubling up on the wings, you easily create overload situations there. Once you have outplayed the opponent’s full-back, the cross or pass to one of the two strikers often succeeds.

Weaknesses:

Weak defense: Especially if the wingers do not work back much, you often find yourself in a poor defensive situation. Without a real holding midfielder, it requires a lot of skill to stand stable against strong opponents.
Centrals must be all-rounders: No holding midfielder and no attacking midfielder – this means that the two central midfielders have to run a lot and must be capable of everything. Classic “box to box” players like Vidal, Nainggolan, or Paul Pogba are recommended here.

Other formations played

According to the top players, these are the best lineups for FIFA 18 Ultimate Team – followed by other close formations like 4-2-2-2 and 4-3-2-1. Only two of 50 top players played with a real Dutch system, the 4-3-3 (4).

Also important for building your FUT team: Chemistry and how it works

Philipp says:

For me, the 4-2-3-1 is now the perfect choice. I like to play with 4 attacking and 2 defensive players – the 4-4-2 is too open at the back for me, and the 4-1-2-1-2 is too inflexible going forward. Moreover, a true “10” who makes the run into open space is extremely important to me.

However, I can recommend the close diamond to beginners in the Weekend League. Once you have mastered the short and one-two passing game, you should be able to easily defeat weaker FUT Champions opponents.

David Meyler achieved 40-0 in the Weekend League with the close diamond in March. The special part? He is a professional footballer for Hull City!

My MMO asks: How many hours per week do you play?

Cortyn 23. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

Our favorite hobby takes up a lot of time. But how many hours do you actually game per week? Do you have enough time to pursue your passion?

On this page, we share a common hobby: gaming. In various shooters, we shoot bullets at each other, swing swords and spells against bosses in MMORPGs, or gank an unsuspecting opponent together in the mid-lane.

But how much time we can spare for gaming varies. We want to get a little overview of how much time you, our readers, actually invest in MMOs, shooters, and other games.

Because while students (usually) still have a lot of time to game, that certainly declines with regular work and social obligations like a family.

That’s why we want to know from you: How many hours do you spend on average per week on your gaming hobby?

If you want to break it down further, feel free to use the comment function below. It would be interesting to hear how many hours you really spend in front of your PC and console or to what extent “mobile gaming” is taking up an increasing share. Has your gaming consumption increased in recent years or

Cortyn says: At least I can ease my bad conscience by claiming that gaming is a fixed part of my work – which is partly true. So I certainly reach 10-20 hours a week.

When a new addon for World of Warcraft or a new killer for Dead by Daylight releases, the “research effort” (*cough cough*) naturally increases significantly. Sometimes you even play through the night to ensure you hit the 30-hour mark and maybe exceed that a few times as well.

But let’s get to you! How much time do you spend on average per week gaming?

Overwatch: Mei and Reaper will probably be buffed

Cortyn 23. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

Two more heroes are being reworked in Overwatch. Buffs are already planned for Reaper and Mei.

The balance in Overwatch is a constant area of work for the developers. They continually have to adjust various values to ensure the heroes hover at a similar power level.

Now that Brigitte has entered the battlefield and will be available in ranked mode starting next week, the developers are already considering new adjustments for existing heroes.

Reaper and Mei in Focus for Buffs

Especially Reaper and Mei are currently being “looked at closely” and could soon benefit from small buffs.

Especially Reaper is likely in a weaker position due to the release of Brigitte. As a melee fighter, he is reliant on getting close to enemies, and he is often stunned by shield bashes.
Mei was long considered an absolute terror and a feared enemy on the battlefield, but over the months and through various adjustments, she has become increasingly unpopular. Nowadays, she is rarely seen and even less often in a truly useful position.

Even though no concrete plans have been announced yet, the developers expect to take the PTR online again soon – if not this weekend, then at some point next week.

At least for Mei, there is already a hint, as Geoff Goodman joked in the forum that she might soon be able to freeze multiple enemies at once with her Frost Beam. However, whether this is just a joke or an actual consideration, we will surely find out in the coming days.

What changes do you think are needed for Reaper and Mei? Or are the two already perfect as they are?

Have you seen that Overwatch is now banning memes? Pepe can no longer be used by players …

The VR Dino Adventure ARK Park is here and disappoints the fans

Andreas Bertits 23. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

On March 22, Snail Games released the virtual reality game ARK Park – and it immediately garnered a lot of criticism.

ARK Park places you in a Jurassic Park-like facility, where dinosaurs live peacefully. However, there is a problem with the control system that keeps the dinosaurs in check, and the creatures turn on the park visitors. You must now try to survive and fight the dinosaurs. You will experience the action up close thanks to VR headsets like PlaystationVR, HTC Vive, and Oculus Rift.

Three Game Modes

In Ark Park, you have the opportunity to play in three game modes:

In Exploration Mode, you explore the game world either alone or with other players and collect genetic cubes to breed dinosaurs.
In Story Mode, you experience the breakout of the dinosaurs, must survive, defend the base, and craft weapons.
In Multiplayer Expedition Mode, you explore the secrets of the world together as a team and must achieve various objectives.

ARK Park Fails to Impress

The initial reactions shortly after the game’s launch are not particularly positive. According to player opinions, the game lacks depth, and the shooter elements feel tacked on and far too simple.

Furthermore, there is said to be too much grinding to find all the resources from which you then craft your weapons. This artificially stretches the game and unnecessarily prolongs it. In addition, ARK Park tries to mix too many genres and fails to convincingly implement any of them. Criticism is also directed at the movement system, as you do not freely explore the game world, but teleport yourself step by step through it.

Nevertheless, there are also positive voices. Thanks to the detailed graphics, you experience a beautiful VR game world in which many impressive dinosaurs reside. However, there simply isn’t enough to do, which limits the fun of the game.

Graphically, the videos of ARK Park made a very good impression early on.

Fortnite: Battle Royale was developed in 2 months – By another team

Schuhmann 23. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite, the now-popular Battle Royale mode was developed in just 2 months – and most of the work was done by the developers of another game. We don’t hear much about Unreal Tournament anymore.

At the developer conference GDC, there was interesting information about the current hit “Fortnite Battle Royale.”

The development time was incredibly short:

For Fortnite, the PvE mode “Save the World” launched on July 21.
Epic started working on the Battle Royale mode as soon as the PVE mode was out, around July 25.
And the Battle Royale mode was released on September 26.

So it was only 2 months in which the mode was in development that is now the biggest game in the world.

Unreal Tournament Team Saves the Day

The main work was likely done by the team of “Unreal Tournament.” They are said to have stepped in and driven the project forward.

It is said that the first-person shooter experts from Unreal Tournament did most of the work on the new mode.

Originally Intended as Buy2Play

Initially, they wanted to make Battle Royale a “PvP mode” within “Save the World.” This would have meant that “Fortnite Battle Royale” would also be behind a $40 payment barrier. But in the last 2 weeks of the project, they decided otherwise. They uncoupled the mode and made it Free2Play.

At Fortnite, they are quite proud of what they have achieved. Epic’s Ed Zibrist says: “I doubt any other publisher could have pulled off the stunt we did.”

This was only possible for Fortnite because the game had been in development since 2011, and Epic, as the creator of the Unreal Engine, was capable of making such a pivot.

Development Stalls at Unreal Tournament

What is a huge deal for Epic as a company does not evoke such great feelings among Unreal Tournament fans. They felt abandoned by their developers and asked on reddit: “Will the developers come back at some point, now that Fortnite Battle Royale is out?”

In the reddit thread, it says that about three months prior, the Epic folks had left the community’s Discord channels without a word and had left without saying goodbye.

Today, we know what they did during that time. Fans of Paragon can sing a song about that too.

In Sea of Thieves, death will soon be expensive if you act like fools!

Jürgen Horn 23. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

In Sea of Thieves (Xbox One & PC) respawning will soon cost you hard-earned gold. The more foolish and idiotic your death was, the more you will have to pay. Also in PvP?

If you currently meet your end in the colorful pirate sandbox MMO Sea of Thieves, you don’t have much to fear. Aside from an annoying waiting time on the “Ship of the Damned”, there are no consequences. Once your waiting time is over, you can respawn.

But the free respawning will soon be history.

Those who die foolishly will be more costly

With an upcoming update, according to Sea of Thieves developers at Rare, the respawn mechanics will change. Instead of patiently waiting on the ghost ship, you will have to bribe the captain there.

The interesting part: The more avoidable, or “dumber”, your demise was, the more you will have to pay. Because the captain of the ghost ship gets annoyed when someone acts like a fool. However, what the grim ferryman interprets as particularly foolish deaths is not explained.

Will PvP griefing soon get even worse?

But what about PvP? Will a miserable death at the hands of a griefer also count as a foolish death? Because so far, it is common to respawn near your death location. It’s unfortunate if you are currently being boarded by other players who are just waiting to kill you again, lurking with drawn weapons at the spawn spot.

That can quickly get expensive. But here, the developers provided clarity. In response to a question on the official Sea of Thieves Discord, Rare’s team explained that they do not want to charge players for an honorable death in PvP. That would have a very negative impact on the enjoyment of the game.

However, those who shoot themselves against a rock with a cannon, drunkenly fall overboard, or get eaten by sharks due to recklessness will certainly have to pay.

Currently, some players of Sea of Thieves are worried whether the game will provide enough content in the long run.

Cyberpunk 2077 is already focused on PlayStation 5 and the next Xbox

Cortyn 23. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

Cyberpunk 2077 is desired by many fans. During development, CD Projekt is already keeping an eye on the next console generation to be prepared for PlayStation 5 and the next Xbox.

The next game from CD Projekt Red is eagerly awaited by fans. Cyberpunk 2077 must prove that the developers can do more than just “The Witcher” and can also impress in a different setting.

Interest in the game is high, as shown by the enthusiastic reactions when the Twitter account for the game was reactivated with a simple “Beep”.

Cyberpunk 2077 is ready for the “next console generation”

Adam Kicinski from CD Projekt Red spoke a little about Cyberpunk 2077 at a financial conference. He didn’t want to reveal much, but due to the numerous questions, some information was pried out. For instance, it was asked how Cyberpunk 2077 would relate to the next console generation.

Kicinski replied that there is currently only speculation since the next console generation has not yet been announced. However, from a technological standpoint, Cyberpunk 2077 is “very advanced” and capable of functioning with future generations.

“The game has been developed to utilize future, very powerful equipment, but I can’t reveal much more since the upcoming console generation has not been announced yet.”

What sounds promising worries some fans. After all, there is still no release date for Cyberpunk 2077. Some want to read between the lines, suggesting that the game will only be released with the next generation of consoles, which could still take years – perhaps there will be fresh information at E3.

For the launch, focus is likely on single-player campaign

Otherwise, Kacinski repeated what has already been published: Cyberpunk will be similar to The Witcher 3 and offer a massive single-player campaign. There are no hidden costs such as microtransactions.

However, it sounded like the focus at launch will be on the single-player campaign. Perhaps multiplayer features will only come with further updates for Cyberpunk 2077. After all, the company wants to focus more on online components in the future.

But here the statements were still quite vague.

No announcement for new information has been made yet. “I can’t announce anything here. We will announce innovations shortly [before E3].” … which in essence is also an announcement, isn’t it?

Cyberpunk doesn’t want loot boxes – just happy players.

Destiny 2: The big patch comes next week, Nightfall loot is secret

Sven Galitzki 23. March 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

The release of the update milestone 1.1.4 for Destiny 2 is drawing closer. After feedback from the community, Bungie opts for the surprise effect and allows Guardians to discover the exclusive Nightfall rewards themselves starting March 27. There is also new information regarding maintenance on patch day.

In a few days, it will be here: On March 27, update 1.1.4 introduces many long-awaited changes for Destiny 2 . During this time, the sandbox will be heavily adjusted – Bungie is making extensive changes to the Guardian classes and weapons and completely re-balancing them. The Crucible will also be fundamentally revised as part of this update.

But also a lot of other changes such as the penalty for quitting early in the Crucible or unique Nightfall rewards will be introduced into the game.

Bungie relies on the surprise effect

Starting March 27, every nasty Nightfall strike boss will drop a rare, powerful, and above all unique item related to it, which can drop for the Guardians upon its defeat – on every difficulty level of the Nightfalls.

In this context, Bungie recently raised the question of whether the Guardians would prefer a preview of these exclusive Nightfall rewards or if they would rather discover them for themselves.

After feedback from the community, Bungie has now decided to maintain the element of surprise and let players discover the unique Nightfall rewards themselves.

Punishments for PvP quitters

Bungie also released new information about the penalties for quitting Crucible matches early.

Since there is no way to join an ongoing match in the competitive playlist, quitting a game early can significantly spoil the gaming experience for the other team members. With update 1.1.4, repeated early quitting in the competitive playlist will therefore result in a 30-minute restriction .

It doesn’t matter for what reasons one leaves the matches early – whether due to shaky network settings, inactivity, or because the pizza delivery guy is at the door. Those who leave a match early can expect to be temporarily restricted.

So if you are participating in the competitive playlist, make sure you have a solid internet connection and enough time.

Maintenance work and down-time on March 27, 2018

There is also new information regarding the maintenance work and the server down-time on Tuesday, March 27:

6:00 PM – Start of maintenance, servers go offline. Players can no longer log in to Destiny 2.
7:00 PM – Players still in a Destiny 2 activity will be returned to the main screen. Update 1.1.4 should now be ready for download and can subsequently be installed.
8:00 PM – Estimated end of maintenance.

Following the release of update 1.1.4, the following should also be noted:

The strike activity Exodus Crash will not be featured as Nightfall, as there is a bug that prevents progress from being made when attempting to collect energy spikes. The goal is to eliminate this bug by update 1.2.0. Until then, the corresponding unique reward will not be available.
The removal of the radar in competitive modes and Trials of the Nine means that perks that provide radar advantages will obviously cease to function there. For example, a Hunter wearing the exotic helmet Weakspot Radar will not have radar when using the targeting device.

Will you check back into Destiny 2 after the release of the update? Or do the changes not go far enough to pique your interest?

Also worth reading:

Does the playlist rotation reveal the release date of the 2nd expansion?

Sea of Thieves was not prepared for 5000 new players per minute

Patrick Freese 22. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

Over 5000 players log in every minute to Sea of Thieves and break the beta records of the pirate adventure. This led to a bumpy launch with some problems.

The launch for Sea of Thieves was not easy; one could speak of rough seas into which the launch ship set sail. At the global launch, the servers buckled under the pressure. It even got to the point where the team eventually had to close the doors and let no one in.

However, when you look at the number of players wanting to log in at the same time, it’s no wonder.

Server problems increased as new regions were added

Disconnects, matchmaking problems, and login difficulties were among the initial issues of Sea of Thieves. On Monday, March 19, the rollout of Sea of Thieves began according to German time. The game was gradually released for different regions. Players got creative here and pretended to be Australians to be able to play before the release at midnight in Germany.

After the game was unlocked for North America, the server issues began. The Twitter account of Sea of Thieves quickly announced that the servers were indeed struggling.

It was Tuesday morning when pre-order players from North America stormed the servers simultaneously. Through the preload, they all tried to log in right on time for the launch. When more players came home from school in the afternoon and the first players logged in after work, everything got worse. Even more load for the servers. More problems arose in the game.

The high player numbers are also due to the fact that you can play the game for free through Game Pass or for €10 a month. However, these users did not have a preload and could only download the game after the official release. When the first wave of these players also wanted to access the servers, the developers had to shut the door.

New players now initially had no access to the game so that active pirates in Sea of Thieves could continue playing.

In a video about the launch status, the developers explain what a huge influx of players is hitting the servers of Sea of Thieves. “At one point, our server engineer said that 5000 people were coming into the game per minute,” explains studio head Craig Duncan. More than a million unique users logged in during the first 48 hours.

Through the scale tests, they had already been able to recognize when the peak times are, but the developers did not expect such high player numbers.

They explain that between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM are the peak times for Sea of Thieves. At this time, most players want to log in to the game, and problems occur regularly. The player numbers are up to 4 times higher than the best beta times of the game.

They are now working to keep the servers stable even during these peak times.

Does the playlist rotation in Destiny 2 reveal the release date of the 2nd DLC?

Sven Galitzki 22. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

With the update 1.1.4, the Crucible playlist in Destiny 2 will rotate weekly. Bungie released an overview including game modes and dates. Does this rotation plan also reveal the release date of the 2nd DLC?

With the next major update 1.1.4 on March 27, a lot of changes are coming to Destiny 2. The sandbox will be extensively adjusted – the balance of classes and weapons will be redefined. Also, the PvP will be fundamentally revised.

As part of the Crucible changes, the popular Rumble mode will make its return. The Iron Banner will also return in the long-awaited 6vs6 format.

The modes Rumble, Hexenkessel and Eisenbanner are to alternate in a weekly playlist.

This is how the weekly Crucible playlist will rotate

In anticipation of the upcoming update milestone, Bungie released an overview of the rotation dates with the corresponding game modes:

03/27 Rumble
04/03 Hexenkessel
04/10 Eisenbanner
04/17 Rumble
04/24 Hexenkessel
05/01 Eisenbanner

Does Bungie’s rotation overview reveal the release date for the 2nd DLC?

Notably, this schedule obviously ends with the conclusion of the last listed Iron Banner on 05/01. On 05/08, the PvP modes should actually rotate again. However, there are no additional dates set for this date and beyond.

When looking more closely at the recent developments surrounding Destiny 2, it quickly becomes evident that another important event could claim 05/08 for itself – the release of the 2nd expansion.

Official information is still pending, but recently temporary listings from the retail giants Amazon and GameStop revealed both the alleged name and the release date of the 2nd DLC. This is to be titled “The Fallen Warmind” and is set to release on 05/08/2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Thus, more and more indications point to an actual release of the next expansion on May 8, 2018.

Moreover, an official announcement from Bungie shouldn’t take much longer. After March 27, the studio will likely focus entirely on the promotion of DLC II.

What do you think about this? Do you believe in a release on May 8? Or do you think the 2nd DLC will appear at a different time?

Pokémon GO Community Day in March – Everything you need to know

Patrick Freese 22. March 2018 Reading time 4 minutes

The 3rd Community Day of Pokémon GO – Shiny monsters, Max CP and 6x XP. Here you will find everything you need to know about the event.

In March, the third Pokémon GO Community Day is coming and will once again attract many trainers outdoors. Previous events have already shown how popular these events are and that players enjoy participating. On March 25, there will be special Bulbasaur for you.

In this overview, we show you the most important information for the 3rd Community Day, so you can make the most of it.

3rd Community Day Start Time – Will Shiny Bulbasaur be available?

The third Community Day in Pokémon GO takes place on Sunday, March 25, 2018, at 11:00 AM German time. For three hours, until 2:00 PM German time, the event is active and rewards participants around the world with the special Pokémon “Bulbasaur”. Although you can catch it in the wild now, the event monsters are very special.

To participate in this event, you just need to play Pokémon GO within the mentioned time frame. While the chance to find Community Day Pokémon is increased in parks, generally you can find them everywhere.

Regarding the start time, we are receiving many questions here and on Facebook, especially since the clocks will be changed to daylight saving time on the morning of March 25. At 2:00 AM, the clocks will move one hour forward to 3:00 AM – so “one hour is missing”. However, Niantic announced the 3rd Community Day using the values of “Central European Summer Time”, which means that “11:00 AM to 2:00 PM” remains unchanged – that is the official event time.

Pokémon GO Com Day Time — Source: Pokémon GO Official https://pokemongolive.com/events/community-day/

Chance for Shiny Bulbasaur?

During the past Community Days with Pikachu and Dratini, these special event monsters also appeared as Shiny in the wild. The chance to obtain a shiny event Pokémon was significantly increased.

Even though it is not officially confirmed, we assume that for the 3rd Pokémon GO Community Day, Shiny Bulbasaur will be found in the wild. If you then evolve them, they will become Shiny variants of Ivysaur and Venusaur.

Community Day Event Bonuses – Flora Statue

During the Community Day, the following features and rewards are active:

Start 11:00 AM – End 2:00 PM
Incense last 3 hours instead of 30 minutes
You will receive triple the amount of experience for catching Pokémon (Not for all actions in the game. Only for catching monsters!)
The special Pokémon of the day is Bulbasaur. However, it doesn’t know the exclusive event move itself, but Venusaur does. If you evolve an Ivysaur into a Venusaur during the event time, Venusaur will know the move “Flora Statue”.
- The Flora Statue move is one of the strongest Grass attacks in the game. It is definitely worth evolving Venusaur with this move. Learn more about the Flora Statue move in Pokémon GO here

Preparations for the 3rd Community Day in Pokémon GO

Besides the obvious preparations like wearing warm clothing (it’s best to check the weather report for Sunday before heading out), you should also prepare in Pokémon GO.

Poké Balls are a must – many of them!
- If you are playing with Pokémon GO Plus (which we can recommend for this event), you should carry many Poké Balls, as the gadget only throws with them. For manual throws, Ultra Balls and Hyper Balls are also interesting. It doesn’t hurt to have over 200 balls in your inventory. After all, you receive triple experience points for catching monsters, so you want to catch a lot.
Incense and smoke for more monsters
- To attract even more monsters, it is worth using Incense and smoke.
Lucky Egg
- If you use the event to level up your trainer level? Then activate a Lucky Egg before your catches to double your gained experience – you will have a total of 6x XP!

WP Values of Bulbasaur – How strong is your Bulbasaur

After catching Bulbasaur, you will surely want to know how strong the captured monster is. In this overview by Reddit user IAmTheAlleyCat, you will see values for 100% IV and CP of Bulbasaur.

Besides hunting for strong Bulbasaur, also consider that the Community Day is called that for a reason. The event provides a great opportunity to chat with other trainers from the community and make connections. Since the chance of finding Bulbasaur is likely increased in parks, you might meet many other Pokémon GO players there on Sunday.

We also warmly invite you to join our Pokémon GO group on Facebook for exchanges. If you want to stay updated with the latest news, also give a like to our Pokémon GO Facebook page.

Im MMORPG Revelation Online könnt ihr nun auf Deutsch neu anfangen

Jürgen Horn 22. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

In Revelation Online there is now the update First Contact. It brings new PvP content, the long-awaited German localization, and a new server for a fresh start.

The Chinese online role-playing game Revelation Online was supposed to be released in German shortly after its release. However, the localization kept getting postponed, but now it is finally here! With the new update “First Contact,” you can finally play the MMORPG by My.com in German.

And for those who want to experience the story and content in the game from the beginning in German, a new server is a welcome addition.

PvP Arenas and New Fresh Start Server

The new server for the EU is called “Emolion” and is open to all players. There, you can start fresh again and begin the game anew. Ideal for those who no longer see sunshine on the previous servers because other players are far ahead. On the new servers, everyone starts fresh. Transfers are not possible.

In the update First Contact, the following cross-server PvP innovations are included:

3vs3 Arenas: Here, there is fame and powerful gear to be won.
10vs10: Darktree Valley: To win, players choose a quest, monster hunt, or a combination of both. The arena zone is divided into two fields, one for each team. Each field has a series of PvE arena bosses that help each team uniquely. Both teams have a base, and each of the two fields has four bosses. Take out the opponents’ bosses to earn points, but also defend your own bosses!
20vs20: Blitz Attack at Iron Ridge: Here, five resource points are scattered across the map. Occupy these nodes for as long as possible and collect points for the team. The first team to earn 1,000 resource points wins the battle.
30vs30: Machine Hell: To achieve victory as a team in this large-scale battle, a 30-member team must destroy the Dragon Ball located at the top of the opposing team’s Dragon Peak.

The Division announces a major Global Event week – Here’s how it goes

Tarek Zehrer 22. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

Massive announces all Global Events for next week at the end of the birthday celebration of The Division. Before that, the Global Event Ambush will take place this weekend, and the PTS will go offline on March 23.

The State of the Game just aired on March 22. Massive kicks off the end of the anniversary month.

Next week, all 4 Global Events will run for 48 hours each, as a grand finale of the birthday celebration of The Division.

The Global Events will take place on these days:

Monday, March 26: GE Outbreak, 10:00
Wednesday, March 28: GE Assault, 10:00
Friday, March 30: GE Strike, 10:00
Sunday, April 1: GE Ambush, 10:00

If you are still missing parts for certain sets, you have another chance to try your luck. Maybe you just want a specific mask?

Before that, the Global Event Ambush will take place this weekend, where you can get the sets Hunter’s Loyalty, FireCrest, AlphaBridge, and Tactician.

Test phase on the PTS ends

Furthermore, the PTS will end after a two-week test phase. Massive thanks all agents who helped with debugging.

Since it was another State of the Game focused on community content, unfortunately, there are no other news. They want to give more attention to known streamers in future STOGs and showcase the best clips.

By April at the latest, more news is expected, as Patch 1.8.1 has been announced for this month, bringing changes to the drop chances for Classified Gear.

If you are generally interested in what awaits the agents this year, you can check the roadmap for year 3.

Are you looking forward to next week? Which events do you like the most?

Twitch Prime skins from Fortnite are being sold en masse on eBay

Jürgen Horn 22. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

For Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, Xbox One & iOS) there are two special skins that can only be obtained through a Twitch Prime membership. A black market has developed on eBay, where large quantities of such skins are being sold for real money. Somehow, real money is made out of nothing in the jungle of free subscriptions.

Anyone who has a Twitch Prime account can link it to various online games and unlock special goodies like skins. Fortnite: Battle Royale is one of those games. Twitch Prime customers can get two exclusive skins and a new glider.

Without a Prime account, there are no skins, so the skin black market on eBay is thriving.

Premium skins for about 3 euros

On eBay, some sellers are currently selling large quantities of Twitch Prime skins for Fortnite: Battle Royale. The prices are around 3 euros. Some sellers have already sold hundreds of skins and even received good ratings from customers.

Since the skins are not available as keys, but are unlocked by linking a Twitch account with Fortnite, the sellers are not selling the skins themselves. Rather, for their money, one acquires temporary access to a Twitch Prime account that has not yet been linked.

This way, buyers can presumably connect and permanently unlock their skins.

Where do all the Twitch Prime accounts come from?

It is unclear where all the Twitch Prime accounts come from.

They may be provided by users who do not play Fortnite.
There may also be bots and hacks at play, which would be stolen accounts.
Or it could be that some simply create mass fake accounts.

The website Kotaku conducted an investigation and found that it seems relatively easy to create fake Twitch Prime accounts temporarily and unlock skins with them. This works through the backdoor with Amazon Prime.

But regardless of how it works, sharing accounts is in any case prohibited and can lead to bans on Twitch.

Fortnite’s deal with Twitch Prime also boosts streamers

Twitch states that they are seeing a significant increase in players who are using Twitch Prime for the first time, receiving free loot and donating their free channel subscription to a streamer.

One of the biggest beneficiaries of this whole action is likely the streamer Ninja. His income from Twitch subscriptions has exploded. Ninja earns 500,000 US dollars a month.

How much the people earning from the Epic Twitch deal that sells bulk skins on eBay is unknown.

Sea of Thieves: Catching Chickens – Here’s how to find and deliver the feathered creatures

Patrick Freese 22. March 2018 Reading time 4 minutes

Catching chickens in Sea of Thieves is not that complicated. We show you where to find the chicken coop and how to use the cage.

Among the various quests in Sea of Thieves is the catching of pigs and chickens. The quest is available at the trading post, which sends you on a search for various chicken breeds. The feathered friends can appear on the different islands of the game and enjoy their life while clucking around. Until you, as a nasty pirate, catch them with a cage and profit from them.

We will show you how to find and catch the chickens here.

Finding Chickens in Sea of Thieves – Hope for Randomness

We would love to tell you an exact location where the chickens can be found, but we cannot. They spawn randomly somewhere on the islands, just like other animals.

There is no island that is guaranteed to have chickens in Sea of Thieves. According to player reports, the chance of finding chickens is higher on islands that offer much flat terrain, but these are just speculations so far.

Even on the island “Chicken Island”, there is no guarantee of having the namesake inhabitants. So you have to go island by island and keep an eye out for the chickens.

Getting a Chicken Coop – Here’s where to get the Chicken Coop

When you go searching for chickens for the first time, you will quickly notice a problem: How do you catch a chicken once you’ve found one?

To get a chicken coop, you first need to go to the trading post and accept a quest for chickens there. After that, head to your ship, where you propose this voyage. Once all crew members have agreed and the voyage is active, return to the trading post NPC.

There you will now be handed the chicken coops you need to catch the chickens. Remember that you often need several cages. You have to bring them individually from the NPC to the ship. Each coop can only hold one chicken.

Before the voyage was proposed and accepted by the crew, there is no chicken coop available from the NPC.

Now you are ready to hunt the wild chickens.

Catching Chickens in Sea of Thieves – How does it work?

Go to any island and keep an eye out for chickens. First, make sure by reading the map what kind of chicken you are supposed to catch. They come in different colors. Once you arrive on an island and have dropped anchor, it’s best to take a coop with you directly to save yourself a trip if you encounter chickens.

Found a chicken? Then rush after the animal with the coop in your hands. If you are close enough, a hint will appear in the game showing you which type of chicken is in front of you.

If you found the right chicken, you have to chase it for a few seconds while holding down the corresponding hotkey that is displayed to you in the game. On PC, this is the left mouse button (on the controller, probably A?). If you manage to keep the chicken closely followed for a few seconds while holding the hotkey, you will automatically catch it.

Once the chicken is in the coop, head back to the ship. But be careful: Don’t dive! The feathered creature struggles with that and sounds like it won’t be having fun for long. So keep it above water.

Once you’ve collected your delivery, make sure which outpost you need to take it to and that you really caught the right chickens. Both are written on the order paper. If a wrong chicken is in the cage, you can kill it with your weapons and look for a replacement.

Once you arrive at the correct outpost, you can sell the animals to the trading post NPC there.

Jürgen Horn 22. March 2018 Reading time < 1 minutes

Who The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, PS4, Xbox One) wants to try out, now has the perfect opportunity. The developers at Zenimax are giving you a free week of ESO and even throwing in some real money crowns.

The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) is not a Free2Play game. If you want to play online in Tamriel, you have to buy the game once. So what to do if you just want to take a look to see if the game is worth it?

How to play The Elder Scrolls Online for free

Until March 27, you can play The Elder Scrolls Online for free on PC, Mac, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. All you need to do is register on the official site of The Elder Scrolls Online for a platform of your choice.

After that, you can download the game and create an account. Keep in mind that you need PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold on consoles. If you have used free playtime in ESO before, you can continue where you left off.

Also cool: In addition to your free week in ESO, you get 500 crowns for the real money shop. You can buy pets, mounts, emotes, or loot boxes with those.

In our leveling guide for ESO, you will learn how to level up quickly in a short time. Ideal for the free trial week.

WoW clarifies: This is what happens with First Aid in BfA

Cortyn 22. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

In World of Warcraft, First Aid is obsolete. Blizzard has now revealed what will happen to the recipes.

With Battle for Azeroth, there will be a variety of changes in World of Warcraft, especially regarding the various professions. Recipes of the main professions will be categorized differently, sorted by addon.

However, one secondary profession will be completely removed: First Aid.

First Aid had a long tradition in World of Warcraft. In Classic, The Burning Crusade, and to some extent in Wrath of the Lich King, players could heal themselves when they had no healing abilities. In some fights, such as against Illidan Stormrage in the Black Temple, guilds even required that everyone had learned the profession to better absorb area damage.

In the following addons, First Aid lost more and more importance, and today hardly anyone uses it. The healing is too low, the additional effects (like poison or bleeding removal) are insignificant.

Therefore, Blizzard is pulling the plug and completely removing the secondary profession from the game.

Alchemy and Tailoring take over First Aid

However, the recipes will not completely disappear. Blizzard has now explained what will happen to the old recipes.

All bandages will be available to tailors with Patch 8.0, who already work with fabrics.
Other items, such as antidotes, will now be crafted by alchemists.

The recipes must be relearned by players with the corresponding professions (Alchemy and Tailoring). The costs are likely to be low, as these are low-level recipes.

Whether bandages and antidotes will still hold relevant significance remains to be seen.

What do you think about the removal of First Aid in WoW? Have you still used the profession regularly? Or is the secondary profession useless and can therefore go?

We have shared what else is changing with Battle for Azeroth in our extensive overview.
