World of Tanks 1.0 is coming and the boss hasn’t played it for even a second

Jürgen Horn 21. March 2018 Reading time 4 minutes

World of Tanks 1.0 makes the tank MMO from Wargaming more beautiful and impressive. But the head of Wargaming himself refused to play the new version. He told us this in an interview.

Viktor Kislyi is the head of Wargaming and a huge fan of tanks. In numerous interviews and press appearances, the jovial Belarusian does not tire of admiring the impressive presence, force, and “masculinity” of these steel combat colossi.

Furthermore, the boss plays diligently himself. Under his real name, he has an account on the Russian servers of World of Tanks and regularly goes tank hunting.

However, he has so far kept his hands off the brand new Version 1.0 of World of Tanks. What’s going on?

Experience World of Tanks as a “Virgin”

I met Viktor in Prague at a pre-launch event for World of Tanks 1.0 and wanted to know what he thinks of the new version. The surprising answer: “I haven’t played it!” I wanted to know more and Viktor immediately started chatting away.

For him, it is very important to celebrate new things the first time, to experience them as a “virgin.” That’s how it has always been for him, including when eating the first ice cream, riding a horse for the first time, or his first trip to Neuschwanstein.

What Neuschwanstein has to do with Tanks…

The visit to King Ludwig’s Bavarian fairy tale castle was something very special for him at the time. According to his own statements, after the visiting hours ended, he climbed over a barrier to admire the castle at sunset. He was moved to tears.

And exactly such a feeling Viktor wants to enjoy with his “baby.” World of Tanks is practically unrecognizable in version 1.0 and has been completely redesigned both graphically and acoustically. Everything is new, so after 8 years you can really enjoy it “like the first time” again, even if the gameplay does not change.

My Mouse, My Account, My Beer!

Therefore, on March 21, 2018, the release day of World of Tanks 1.0, Viktor has no time for interviews and media appearances. He wants to sit down at his own PC, take his own mouse in hand, and log in to his account as an ordinary player.

And then he wants to drink one (but really just one) good beer and play the new World of Tanks 1.0 for a few hours. Together with millions of other fans too! And as he says this, his eyes shine with anticipation.

He could hardly contain himself because everywhere at the event there were computers with the new World of Tanks and they tempted him to play like seductive sirens. But luckily, a few staff members interested in tanks from the event location intervened, and Viktor preferred to explain to them how to effectively blow up tanks in the game instead.

What is the Future of World of Tanks? Modern Tanks or VR?

After Viktor discussed all these anecdotes and personal plans, I finally got to ask my questions. Or at least one, because there wasn’t much time left.

So I wanted to know what happens next with World of Tanks. After all, 1.0 was a pure beauty update without any gameplay changes. So will there soon be modern tanks in World of Tanks? War Thunder is currently going this route with update 1.77.

Viktor did not want to say much about that. He did mention “Never say never,” but overall, World of Tanks is supposed to continue to feel like World of Tanks. Whether this works with modern tanks is rather questionable, a further Wargaming employee later commented in another conversation.

World of Tanks VR

What is already firmly planned, however, are VR applications for World of Tanks. For this purpose, the company Neurogaming from Cyprus has been brought on board. The goal is to create Cinema VR, a location-based VR technology based on PolygonVR.

The goal is to create a kind of “arcade” where one can use high-quality VR applications in a perfect environment. World of Tanks is supposed to be a part of this.

“Football and World of Tanks will last forever!”

But whether on PC, console, mobile, or in VR, World of Tanks will last forever, according to Viktor Kislyi. “It’s like football. It’ll always be there. We’ll still be playing football on Mars once we have colonies there.”

Warhammer 40k Inquisitor Martyr: “Space Diablo” has a release date

Andreas Bertits 21. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

With Warhammer 40k Inquisitor: Martyr, you can expect Diablo gameplay in the dark world of Warhammer 40,000. The release date is now known.

The action RPG Warhammer 40k Inquisitor: Martyr places you in the dangerous Caligari sector, where you, as an Inquisitor, must eliminate the unclean. A plethora of monsters from the depths of space will stand in your way.

Fight alone or cooperatively

Martyr allows you to create a hero from the classes Crusader, Death Cult Assassin, and Primaris Psyker. You can specialize each of these three classes into three subclasses, adapting them to your playstyle.

The focus of the title is on a story-driven campaign that you can experience either alone or cooperatively with up to three other players. You will explore the Caligari sector as an open game world and accept missions that lead you to planets, space stations, or the wrecks of gigantic ships drifting in space.

The gameplay of Martyr is somewhat reminiscent of Diablo. You control your hero from an isometric view from above as hordes of monsters confront you in the levels. With your powers, skills, and plenty of weapons, you clear them out of your way. There is much to do:

You experience a story surrounding the mysterious namesake ship Martyr
Explore numerous locations
Complete quests
Experience a brief, interconnected story through several missions in the “Investigations”
Master large story events
Enhance your hero with skills and new equipment
Tactics matter as you must seek cover in battles and the environment can be destroyed
In a team, you need to work well together to make the most of your abilities

Release in just a few weeks

Martyr aims to provide variety with randomly generated levels and regularly new content. Furthermore, you can expect a dark and brutal scenario where things get very bloody. An Early Access version is already available and gives you a brief glimpse into the beginning of the game. The release is scheduled for PC, PS4, and Xbox One on May 11.

How the world of MMORPG would look without World of Warcraft

Cortyn 21. March 2018 Reading time 4 minutes

What would MMORPGs look like if WoW had never existed? Let’s fantasize a bit!

Hardly any computer game of the last decades has influenced the video game market as much as World of Warcraft. Other MMORPGs, in particular, have suffered greatly as a result.

WoW Wallpaper Horde Heroes Battle for Azeroth

It is mistakenly assumed that newer MMORPGs would have an easier time competing against WoW. A more powerful engine, better graphics, and a modern combat system should surely win players over. However, most games failed to deliver the wealth of content and polish. With each passing year, WoW not only grew older but also – based on objectively measurable criteria – better. The bar was raised.

Without this hurdle, the market for MMORPGs might have developed quite differently.

Today, we are fantasizing a bit and imagining three scenarios of how things could look like if World of Warcraft had never been released.

Scenario 1: Another Dominant Player

Perhaps the first “Guild Wars” would still be a very successful MMORPG today. Back then, the game was considered the first “WoW killer” because it was released just months after Blizzard’s MMO and placed a stronger focus on PvP – which WoW hardly had in its early days.

Which game would have established itself as a dominant player is, of course, impossible to say. There were many contenders.

Great hopes were also placed on “Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning,” which launched in 2008 and was shut down after just under 5 years – the game simply could not establish itself.

But other MMORPGs like The Lord of the Rings Online, TERA, Aion, or even Neverwinter Nights (which even came out before WoW) might have been able to leap forward much stronger if they had not all been overshadowed by Blizzard’s giant.

Perhaps in such an alternative world, it would even have been possible for WildStar to function successfully for a long time.

Scenario 2: All Other MMORPGs Are Better Off

The utopian scenario is often mentioned. If there were no World of Warcraft, then all other MMORPGs would automatically fare better, as players would be spread out across these games.

That is certainly conceivable. Although Blizzard does not publish any official player numbers for WoW, there are likely still several million.

You can be a bit happy that it hasn’t turned out that way: Otherwise, you would now also have experts in your game’s trade channel, crying every day about how “dead” the game is, for which they continue to pay a subscription.

However, it must also be noted that this scenario is probably the most unlikely. Recent years have simply shown that player masses often cluster in one game and then move on collectively. It’s no coincidence that we now often refer to the “swarm of locusts” among players.

Scenario 3: The MMORPG Genre Would Be “Dead”

Again and again, one hears in various forums and also in our comments, “If there were no World of Warcraft, then game XYZ would have become really good.” This is, of course, a valid opinion – but is it likely?

One must not forget that WoW has shaped the MMORPG genre. Before, MMORPGs languished in niche obscurity and were, as the media liked to exaggerate, something for basement dwellers and nerds.

Only thanks to WoW did the genre receive a significant influx of players, and other developers recognized the profitability of the MMORPG genre. They wanted a piece of the pie, which provided us with a plethora of MMORPGs.

Without World of Warcraft, games like “The Lord of the Rings Online,” “Aion,” but also TERA or Star Wars: The Old Republic likely would never have come to be. The development effort for an MMORPG is many times higher than for “ordinary” games. Only WoW showed how this effort can pay off in the long run.

Ultimately, these are all just fantasies and little thought experiments – a reliable “what if” cannot really be produced.

What do you think, what would the video game market look like without World of Warcraft? Would there have been another major player? Has World of Warcraft brought more positive or negative to the market? Fantasize a bit and let us know in the comments!

What the MMORPG world looked like before WoW is not speculation. We know:

Sombra nerf, Doomfist fixes – Overwatch patch notes for patch 1.21

Cortyn 20. March 2018 Reading time 4 minutes

Patch 1.21 for Overwatch not only brought Brigitte but also a lot of adjustments and improvements. We reveal what has changed.

The latest update for Overwatch is live. Patch 1.21 is active on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One and not only brought the new hero Brigitte but also small adjustments to existing heroes. For example, Sombra has been significantly nerfed, as her hacking must now be used more carefully, since interruptions now penalize her with a cooldown.

Another highlight is that the team screen now displays how far the various ultimates of your team are charged. This makes it easier to plan and provides a quick overview of when someone can assist with a cool combo.

Otherwise, there are mainly bug fixes for Doomfist as well as problem resolutions regarding visual effects – for example, Mercy’s wings, which tended to detach from her body.

The complete patch notes for Overwatch patch 1.21

General Updates

Junkrat’s spray Scarecrow has been renamed to Egg.
Mercy’s victory pose Cheers has been updated.

Hero Updates

Sombra

Hacking
- Now has a cooldown of 2 sec. when interrupted by damage.
- Now gets consistently interrupted when the target moves out of line of sight.

A bug has been fixed that displayed two control points on a map with only one control point in a custom game.

Fortnite: New Mode “Lightning Fast” ideal for architects in a hurry

Robert Albrecht 20. March 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

A new limited-time mode is available in Fortnite: Battle Royale: Blitz. How do the faster matches play? We tested the mode.

Epic continues to work on new limited-time modes that are meant to provide a constantly fresh gaming experience. In fact, the game can change significantly through these modes. A few weeks ago, only legendary quality weapons could be found, which gave the rounds a completely different feeling.

The new mode is called “Blitz” (in English, simply Blitz): The maximum game duration is significantly reduced. Instead of the usual 25 minutes, a round in the Blitz mode ends after just 15 minutes.

Even on the spawn island, you are greeted by the storm, a truly eerie setting. While flying over the map, the edge of the storm is already visible. So there isn’t much time left to search for equipment. Epic compensates for this shortcoming by ensuring you find more of everything. Sounds cool? It is!

More resources, more loot – more action?

To reduce the time needed to gather equipment and materials, Epic is making a few changes for the new mode:

Chests spawn at their target locations with an 80 to 90 percent probability (normally it’s 50 to 70 percent),
Ammo crates can be found with a probability of 85 to 95 percent.
The items on the ground are practically guaranteed to be available!
Supply drops come in every 80 seconds instead of in three-minute intervals, and
Launch pads are found much more frequently than in the normal game mode.

Epic is also lending a hand when it comes to resource gathering:

The resource gain from harvesting is doubled,
In treasure chests, you receive 100 units of a resource instead of the usual 30!

What does this mean for the gameplay? Specifically, the part immediately after landing is significantly streamlined. You still have to collect resources and equipment, but you now receive much more and are thus ready for combat more quickly.

With the reduced map size from the beginning, 100 players land in a smaller area – the action thus starts immediately.

The twist: Since you will literally be swimming in building materials, you can build to your heart’s content. The Blitz mode is not least a battle of architects.

Even on the smaller map, you can use the best loot routes!

Conclusion: Blitz is the perfect game mode for those in a hurry and architects

For those who find the beginning of a round of Fortnite: Battle Royale “tedious” and lengthy, the Blitz mode is sure to be a hit. You land right in the center of the action and can get started immediately.

The concentration of players is increased, and the abundance of building materials promises intense battles. However, those who have not really warmed up to the building mode will not likely scream for joy about the Blitz mode.

Even those with little time can easily squeeze in a round of “Blitz”. With the maximum game time reduced by a full 10 minutes, those in a hurry will definitely get their money’s worth.

Highlight for me: Just three hours after players wished for the Blitz mode as a solo variant, Epic delivered. This was also sorely needed, as solo players have no chance against the high concentration of opponents in the team variant.

You can now also tackle the Blitz mode solo. A strong reaction from Epic (even if it cannot be proven whether there is a direct connection between the request and the reaction).

There are already voices in the Fortnite subreddit calling for the Blitz mode to be made permanently available. This will probably not happen – but it shows that Epic can indeed bring fresh air to Fortnite: Battle Royale with new modes.

What do you think of the Blitz mode? Have you already managed to get a victory?

Sea of Thieves Beginner’s Guide – Tips for Quests, Ships & Respawns

Jürgen Horn 20. March 2018 Reading time 6 minutes

The pirate MMO Sea of Thieves (Xbox One & PC) throws you into the game without much preparation or explanation. What you should do best afterwards will be revealed in our beginner’s guide with tips and tricks for Sea of Thieves.

Those starting the shared-world MMO Sea of Thieves for the first time will be pretty much left to their own devices. As soon as your own buccaneer is chosen from a selection of shabby faces, you’ll be thrown into the deep end and will have to figure out what to do next. The game certainly doesn’t explain it to you!

But with the tips and tricks from our beginner’s guide, you’ll quickly go from a landlubber to a salty sea dog!

“What should I even do? How do I get quests?”

Of course, you can sail around aimlessly with your ship and cause mischief for as long as you like, but eventually, most players crave tasks. But how do you get quests in Sea of Thieves?

Simply head to an island with an outpost. There, you’ll find not only many huts but also three different tents with strange NPCs.

The “Gold Hoarders” let you search for treasures.
The “Order of Souls” sends you out as a bounty hunter.
For the “Merchant’s Alliance” you transport cargo and livestock around.

What do I do with the quest?

You can pick up a total of three quests from the NPCs of the three factions. Then, go to your ship into the captain’s cabin and place the quest on the table. Now the crew must vote on whether everyone wants to do it. Although pirates were indeed rough rogues, they usually operated democratically.

If the quest is accepted, you’ll receive an item with further information about the quest. Now, access the item by holding down “RB” on the Xbox controller and selecting the map, or hold down the “E” key on PC to select the map. With “RT” or a right-click, you can hold the treasure map up to your face to see it better. Below deck, you will also find a large map where you need to find the target island. This is usually located near the outpost around you.

It depends on which faction you are doing this quest for. The Gold Hoarders have typical “Here is a red X, dig there for the treasure” maps. However, there are also puzzles in Sea of Thieves that you need to solve. In those cases, you might only be given the name of the island, which you then have to find on the large map on the table.

Remember the direction and use your compass to find your way at the helm of your ship.

Once you’ve reached the island, it’s best to check the map or the riddle again to confirm where the treasure is buried. The map will clearly mark this with a red X, which you just need to verify.

… and dig!

Do you think you’ve reached the spot where the treasure is buried? Then take your shovel in hand (select from the inventory) and start digging. But be careful, as the islands are guarded by nasty skeletal enemies. And they don’t just hand over the treasure.

If you’re digging in the right spot, you’ll hear a friendly “plong” at the first shovel strike when the digging tool hits the chest. Not lucky? Then double-check with a look at the map if you’re really standing in the right place.

Once the chest is dug up, bring it back to your ship. Store it there in a place of your choice and either return to the client at the outpost to exchange it for gold or directly head off to the next adventure.

Why should you even do quests?

When you complete quests, you earn money and reputation with the respective faction. Over time, better quests become available, which you’ll then have to unlock with gold.

By questing, you can also unlock achievements. Here you can find all 60 achievements!

However, the rewards also keep getting better, and so you can gradually afford all those cool weapons, figureheads, and other goodies at the outposts.

“Hey, where’s my ship?” – What to do when your crew sails off without you?

Hordes of clueless sailors from the past have experienced this: You’re dawdling drunk in the harbor or searching for treasures on an island. Happily, you stagger back to the pier or beach, but your ship has long set sail, and you’re standing dumbly in front of the endless ocean.

The same can happen to you in Sea of Thieves. Among other things, if you spawn fresh and your crew didn’t wait until you boarded. Or the rest of the crew simply forgot that you weren’t on board after an island trip.

Use the mermaid taxi

So what to do? Instead of languishing as a shipwrecked sailor, you should bravely jump into the sea and swim after the ship. Unlike many real pirates, your characters in the game swim well. If a shark doesn’t eat you, you should soon meet a friendly mermaid in the water.

Sea of Thieves mermaid 01 — Source: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-01-31-sea-of-thieves-quests-piracy

The fish lady carries a kind of torch, so she should be easy to spot. When you reach the mermaid, you can ask her to bring you back to the ship. Done and dusted. In no time at all, you’ll be back on board thanks to the mermaid taxi and can punish your treacherous companions with some jaunty sea shanties.

What should you do if you die or the ship sinks?

Death can come quickly to you in Sea of Thieves. A careless jump into the water with the sharks, an unfortunate encounter with a cannonball, or a rusty cutlass in the rum-soaked guts can quickly mean your end.

So what should you do if it happens to you? Fortunately, pirates in Sea of Thieves tend to come back over and over again. Because when you die, you don’t end up in Davy Jones’ locker at the bottom of the sea forever, but on the “Ship of the Damned”.

Undecided about the purchase? Here are 10 reasons why Sea of Thieves is worth it

There, you have to hang out with other cursed souls for a while. After some time, the captain’s cabin will open up, and you’ll be teleported back to your ship. At least as long as no one has sunk it.

What happens to the ship if it’s damaged?

But what to do if the ship is in trouble because the helmsman ran it aground or other pirates have riddled the vessel with cannonballs? First, all crew players respawn somewhere else.

Swim around until you find a mermaid. The friendly lady will then teleport you to a new ship. But watch out! All your treasures on the old ship are gone! So make sure your ship doesn’t sink!

Do you have any other tips for newcomers? Then let us know here!

What to do if you get an error message like “Bronzebeard”? Here you can find out!

Overwatch: Brigitte and Patch 1.21 are live! There are queues too

Cortyn 20. March 2018 Reading time < 1 minutes

The latest hero of Overwatch is live and can now be played in the live version. We reveal what you need to know.

After Blizzard started teasing the next hero for Overwatch a few weeks ago, it didn’t take long for Brigitte to appear on the game’s PTR. The testing phase for the new support character has been over for a few days, and the developers have put the finishing touches on her.

In terms of story, Brigitte is the daughter of Torbjörn, although she was given her name by Reinhardt. She eagerly follows in his footsteps, traveling with him and keeping his armor up to date.

Brigitte’s abilities – healing, armor, and solid damage

Let’s take another look at Brigitte’s abilities and her equipment:

Flail: Brigitte’s melee weapon has a longer range, allowing her to hit multiple enemies with a single strike. If she hits an enemy, nearby allies are automatically healed.
Repair Pack: Brigitte throws a repair pack that heals allies. Healing that exceeds an ally’s maximum health instead grants armor.
Flail Charge: Brigitte uses her flail as a ranged weapon and throws it at enemies, dealing damage and knocking them back.
Barrier Shield: Brigitte activates a forward-facing energy barrier that absorbs a limited amount of damage.
Shield Bash: When her Barrier Shield is active, Brigitte can charge forward and stun enemies.
Rally: Brigitte moves faster and grants all nearby allies temporary armor that lasts until consumed by damage.

Destiny 2: Weekly Reset on March 20 – The 5th Faction Rally is live

Sven Galitzki 20. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2, the Weekly Reset takes place today, March 20. With the weekly reset, the 5th faction battle begins. But other new activities like the Nightfall strike or the Flashpoint are now live.

With the Weekly Reset, a new week in the Destiny universe begins. The factions proudly display their banners in the Tower one last time as part of Season 2. Dead Orbit, New Monarchy, and the Future War Cult once again call the Guardians to arms to assert their own interests.

There are new weapons to earn again. Additionally, the 5th Faction Rally gives the Guardians one last chance to unlock Faction Armor Ornaments from Season 2.

Once this one-week event ends on March 27, the faction battles will take a break and will be revised by Bungie.

But the update milestone 1.1.4 is also approaching quickly. This update will make massive changes to the Crucible and the Sandbox on March 27. PvP will be thoroughly revised. The balance of classes and weapons in Destiny 2 will also be redefined.

But first, let’s see what the current week has to offer.

Nightfall starting March 20 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC

In this week, the Nightfall is “Savathun’s Song”.

In the normal Nightfall, no modifiers are active!

In Prestige mode, you must activate the modifiers via the challenge cards. These cards drop for DLC owners in the normal and Prestige mode of the Nightfall.

The following challenges want to be mastered:

Unbroken: Complete the Nightfall with less than 3 deaths.
The best defense: Shoot 15 of its projectiles before you defeat Savathun’s Song.

Flashpoint, Raid Challenge, Treasure Maps, Meditations

The Flashpoint is this week in the EDZ. There, you need to master public events.

Cayde-6 has EDZ treasure maps ready for you.

Ikora Rey has meditations for the missions “Six” and “Cycle” on offer.

The Raid Challenge takes place this time in the Circus.

The Eververse Highlights

Tess Everis is currently selling the Omega Mechanos Gloves for 800 Glimmer. If you are missing these in your collection, you now have another chance to complete it.

Other interesting Glimmer purchases:

Star Map Shell – Exotic Ghost for 2850 Glimmer
Concentric Dawn – Exotic Sparrow for 2500 Glimmer
Ore Vein – Ornament for the Prospector for 800 Glimmer

Why are you winning in PUBG Mobile? The truth might be unsettling!

Jürgen Horn 20. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PC, Xbox One, iOS, Android) is finally available here in Germany as a mobile version. Many players report unprecedented winning streaks and tons of kills. What’s behind it?

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) is finally available in Germany as PUBG Mobile, playable for free on iOS and Android devices. The gameplay is very similar to the original on PC and Xbox One. You jump out of a plane with 99 other players over an island, search for weapons, and fight each other until only one remains.

The last survivor (or the last team) is crowned the winner with the phrase “Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner“. A truly impressive feat that very few players ever achieve.

Ironically, this is now happening regularly to people who can’t hit a barn door on PC or console. What’s behind it?

Noob on PC, Killer on Mobile?

Since PUBG Mobile was released in Germany, the USA, and other countries, the internet is full of jubilant players posting their kills and chicken dinners on Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit. 3, 4, 5, or even more kills suddenly seem to be commonplace!

Many players think to themselves, “Well, I just wasn’t that great on PC, but I understand the gameplay well. I have the advantage over the many total newbies, and with the simplified controls on mobile, I just hit better.”

Here’s why you’re REALLY winning so often!

For those who suddenly feel like the new John Wick or Rambo in PUBG Mobile because they’re racking up kills and chicken dinners by the dozen, there’s bad news: You’ve most likely been taking out a bunch of bots! Because according to a post on Reddit, PUBG Mobile fills matches generously with utterly clueless bots for new players.

This way, new players can experience success and gradually get better at the game.

The more you play and the better you get, the fewer bots and more real players should appear in your matches according to Reddit. A similar mechanic is also found in other shooters, including the hero shooter Paladins, where you encounter only bots as enemies until you reach a certain level.

So it’s quite likely that things work similarly in PUBG Mobile.

Be careful not to play too much PUBG. A fan was almost killed by his girlfriend with a samurai sword for playing too much!

5 Millionen Dollar sollen ambitioniertes Siedler-MMO Seed vorantreiben

Andreas Bertits 20. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

Seed may not look attractive at first glance, but there is a lot in this MMORPG developed by former developers of EVE Online. A funding boost of 5 million is set to drive development forward.

In Seed, you colonize a distant planet and do not play as a single person, but as a whole group of settlers. Your task is therefore also to take care of these people, who all have fears and needs as well as require tasks.

Here a bit of the Sims aspect comes into play. Because on the side, you are also supposed to take care of building a colony or assist a larger community of settlers in founding and managing a city. To do this, you mine resources and participate in the construction of buildings.

Spatial OS simulates the world

Seed wants to present you with a huge world in which you are significantly involved in how it develops. Naturally, conflicts between groups are also possible, which can escalate into PvP battles. To simulate this massive world, the Berlin developer studio Klang uses Spatial-OS technology.

This allows for the design of vast worlds that can be simulated in detail. The experience that some team members gained while co-developing EVE Online helps to create a credible sandbox.

Funding boost drives development forward

A new funding amount of 5 million dollars has now been raised, which the developers want to use to expand the team and advance development. Klang is pleased both about the confidence of the investors and about being able to realize the dream of a game that is supposed to play a significant role in the evolution of computer games.

Seed aims to become a kind of Civilization as an MMO.

PUBG Mobile for iOS and Android phone – Here you can download it and get information

Jürgen Horn 20. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Mobile is now available on Android and iOS. We show you the download in the Apple App Store and for Android in the Google Play Store. And a first test as well as the system requirements.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) has been developed as a standalone mobile version by the Chinese super publisher Tencent. The company is also behind the China release of the battle royale shooter. After the mobile PUBG had been running in China for a while, it recently also came to Canada and the USA.

Gameplay like on PC

According to early reports, mobile PUBG is exciting and fun to play. The nerve-wracking gameplay of the original is preserved, and the controls are also good.

Only picking up weapon upgrades is a real hassle on small mobile displays. Tablet users have it better with their larger screens. Unlike the mobile version of Fortnite, PUBG Mobile is a pure mobile game. It is also free-to-play!

And surprisingly many start their career in PUBG Mobile right with a chicken dinner. What is the reason?

Why do you win in PUBG Mobile? The truth might unsettle!

Hardware requirements for PUBG on your smartphone

PUBG Mobile is quite modest and runs on over 500 Android devices from Android 5.11 Lollipop and 2 gigabytes of RAM. The Apple version requires at least iOS 9.0 devices, like the iPhone 5S. However, the iPhone 6 is recommended as a minimum.

The download of PUBG Mobile

The download size is quite moderate. You should free up 892.7 megabytes on your device.

Here you can download PUBG Mobile for Android.
Here you can download PUBG Mobile for iOS.

Is there crossplay? No, there isn’t. You have no cross-play and no cross-progression with the PC or Xbox version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. You always play with other mobile gamers, and your progress is not shared on other platforms.

Der Kampf gegen den Kraken in Sea of Thieves ist irgendwie ernüchternd

Patrick Freese 20. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

The water turns black and the ship suddenly stops! See here the battle against the Kraken in Sea of Thieves.

Players of Sea of Thieves have been looking forward to this battle since the first testing phases: pirates against a powerful Kraken. However, the excitement in this battle is not as high as expected. The community thinks: There is more to come!

Kraken battle in Sea of Thieves in video

When data miners encountered the Kraken during the tests of Sea of Thieves, the excitement in the community was high. They imagined fierce sea battles in which the huge water monster must be defeated. Later, leaked screenshots revealed that the Kraken feature was indeed coming to the game.

Now Sea of Thieves is released, and the first players have encountered the Kraken up close. The encounter is exciting. A random encounter suddenly selects a location in the sea, where the water turns black. Ships suddenly stop and can no longer move. The Kraken holds you fast and challenges you to fight.

At first, as a player, you are completely overwhelmed; huge tentacles rise from the water and can pull players (with their mouths?) off the ship. But not much more happens. You can defend yourself against the creature with cannons and your weapons and attack the tentacles. Once you have taken out all tentacles, the fight is over.

You don’t see a big monster, just the tentacles. Even underwater, there is simply no body to it. In the video by super 21314, you can see a full-length encounter with the Kraken.

There must be more, right?

The reactions to the first encounters with the Kraken are mixed. Some are happy to have finally “seen” this mysterious monster but found the fight not so great.

Reddit user jimba22 writes, “Yes, the Kraken needs to be somehow more terrifying than it is now.” and such feedback is often seen. Players want a bigger challenge; the Kraken should be able to make holes in the ship and have much more impact in the game. And a body would also be nice.

Furthermore, there is a desire for a reward for killing this opponent. It doesn’t have to be a treasure chest right away, but at least a sound or some gold coins along with a message saying, “Well done, you defeated the beast.”

Perhaps the Kraken adapts to the players’ levels and scales with its abilities. This way, it would be clear that beginners have a somewhat “boring fight” against the Kraken, while players in the endgame have to work hard to defeat the beast. This would at least explain why we haven’t seen a fight with more action yet.

Have you fought against the Kraken yet? How do you like the fight?

Here are the achievements in Sea of Thieves – Which one will you grab first?

WoW: This mummified raptor is the next highlight of the BfA Alpha

Cortyn 20. March 2018 Reading time < 1 minutes

Another cool mount from the new WoW expansion has appeared. We show you the mummified raptor!

With Battle for Azeroth, the upcoming expansion for World of Warcraft, the customization of your character is emphasized. This includes not only appearance, such as cool gear or the look of a new allied race, but also a cool mount. And there will be plenty of those in Battle for Azeroth!

The new highlight is the Mummified Raptor, which data miners from wowhead have now found in the game files. Visually, the raptor is impressive, as you can see from this short video:

Some fans find it unfortunate that the Mummified Raptor resembles the raptor from the Collector’s Edition of BfA so much. Horde players receive a golden raptor there. The mummified raptor has merely lost its gold color and is basically a recolor of the Collector’s Edition.

It will be available as a rare drop from the boss Dazar in the new dungeon “King’s Rest.” As is usual with such mounts, however, the drop chance is likely to be extremely low. Whether the mount will be available at all difficulty levels is also not yet certain.

We have shown you many crazy mounts from Battle for Azeroth here.

Currently, there is the impression that there have never been so many new mounts as in Battle for Azeroth. Those still struggling with the “300 mounts” achievement should find it easy to complete in the upcoming expansion.

What do you think of the riding raptor? Do you like that there are so many new mounts? Or should Blizzard not release mounts in the style of the Collector’s Edition?

You can find all other new features and changes to Battle for Azeroth in our comprehensive overview.

The 10 best handguns in Destiny 2 will soon be even stronger

Sven Galitzki 20. March 2018 Reading time 8 minutes

The Update milestone 1.1.2 for Destiny 2 is approaching rapidly. Many weapon classes are set to be upgraded. Hand cannons will also receive a significant buff. We will show you which hand cannons might be particularly worthwhile after the March update.

The upcoming March update brings a lot of changes for Destiny 2. Among other things, many weapons will be upgraded – including hand cannons.

Here’s what is supposed to change for the weapon class “hand cannons”:

The PvE damage is increased for all hand cannons
The precision multiplier is increased for precision hand cannons
The targeting on consoles is improved
The precision when shooting from the hip and using the targeting device is increased
The weapon precision in the air is increased

Some weapon perks will also be revised:

Reinforced reserves, Kill Clip, and Rampage will receive an increased PvE damage. Rampage will also gain an increased duration.
Dragonfly will receive increased damage, increased radius, and stronger visual effects.
Grave Robber now replenishes half instead of a third of the magazine.
The damage of Time Payload is split into 55 Explosion / 45 Direct. Previously, the direct damage was higher.
The explosion damage of explosive rounds will be reduced in PvE. This reduction will be offset by an increase in damage for all base weapons in PvE. Weapons with explosive rounds will therefore not deal less damage.

We show you a selection of hand cannons that, due to their perks and performance, already represent an absolutely convincing choice for PvP and PvE. Starting March 27th, these weapons will benefit even more from the upcoming changes and could be even more worthwhile for you.

Don’t miss out on the following hand cannons:

The strongest hand cannons after the March update in Destiny 2

The best hand cannons in Destiny 2: Judgment

Judgment is a legendary hand cannon from the Trials of Osiris and is carried in the kinetic slot. It performs remarkably well in PvP and plays better than it might appear at first glance. It is very stable and has good power and a decent reload speed. The vertical recoil behavior is slightly predictable and can be easily compensated. The perk Moving Target provides the weapon with a noticeable increase in aim assist, which pays off especially in Guardian duels.

With the upcoming buffs for hand cannons, Judgment will become even more precise and should not be overlooked, especially for PvP.

The best hand cannons in Destiny 2: Storm

Storm is an exotic hand cannon and is carried in the kinetic slot. It is a fundamentally solid weapon capable of downing an opponent with 3 shots. With correct use of the perk Storm and Stress, even 2 shots may suffice. However, due to better legendary alternatives and the fact that Storm can only reach its full potential in conjunction with Drang in the energy weapon slot, this weapon is rarely used.

With the upcoming buffs of update 1.1.2, the weapon will generally become stronger. However, as part of the revision of Exotics, this hand cannon is also set to be significantly improved. Although the changes are not planned until May, a brief tweet from the developers indicated that the changes are already looking very promising in testing. So you should definitely keep an eye on this weapon in the future.

Page 2 continues with what is probably the strongest hand cannon in Destiny 2.

Wer ist dieser Dämonjho, der bald zu Monster Hunter World kommt?

Leya Jankowski 20. March 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

This week, a new monster is coming to the world of Monster Hunter World. Its name is Deviljho, and it belongs to the most brutal monsters in the entire franchise. It is huge, it is bloodthirsty, and it always comes when you least expect it.

Already this Thursday, on March 22, Deviljho is coming to Monster Hunter World. It will be the first free DLC monster that enters the new world. Due to the anticipation, and so you can already get in the mood for the new beast, we introduce Deviljho here.

Deviljho is now here! Here you will find everything you need to know about the first DLC in Monster Hunter World.

The violent wyvern makes even large monsters flee in fear

Deviljho is a fighting wyvern that made its first appearance in Monster Hunter 3. This beast is definitely not for hunting beginners, as hardly any monster is more brutal than it. Both hunters and other monsters fear Deviljho, as it is constantly obsessed with searching for food.

Even though the fighting wyvern looks cold-blooded, it has an unusually high body temperature. The high energy consumption created by this keeps Deviljho always suffering from hunger, which it satisfies with flesh. With its insatiable appetite, the fighting wyvern is capable of exterminating entire species and destroying ecosystems.

According to observations, Deviljho are cannibals that also eat their own kind. There are even reports that the animals would eat their own tails once hunters cut them off.

In addition, fighting wyverns are huge and sit high up in the food chain. Hunters barely reach Deviljho’s feet. Most other large monsters flee as soon as they see the beast. Deviljho is said to be on par with Elder Dragons in terms of strength.

In battle, Deviljho bursts with rage and spews a beam from its mouth

Deviljho has heavy, powerful muscles, and its mouth is filled with sharp teeth. The monster has powerful legs, which it uses to effortlessly pursue its victims across the area. With its strong jaw, Deviljho executes crushing attacks. Due to all these characteristics, the fighting wyvern can easily pin its prey and tear the flesh from them.

In rage mode, Deviljho pumps up its powerful muscles, making it even faster and stronger. The bulging muscle strands also better harden the beast against attacks. The stretching of the skin reveals the old scars of Deviljho, and the fibrous tissue underneath becomes visible. This gives the animal a glowing, demonic appearance.

In its raging fury, Deviljho can perform a special attack. It releases dragon element particles from its mouth that spread like a ray. This beam is particularly deadly and requires good equipment.

Deviljho always appears when you least expect it…

Deviljho can perfectly adapt to its surroundings and roams the world in search of food. The nomad has no fixed areas where it lingers. Similar to Bazelgeuse, Deviljho always appears suddenly and unexpectedly.

The two might cross paths more often once they appear together in the new world. A spectacular territorial fight was already seen during a stream from Capcom. In the video, some attack patterns of the fighting wyvern can also be observed.

As in previous installments, Deviljho mainly uses its powerful jaw to attack and tosses its opponents around. It uses its foot to pin Bazelgeuse to the ground. The rage mode, in which the beast glows red, is also visible.

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

What attack patterns Deviljho possesses in detail and what weaknesses it will have will be revealed on Thursday. However, it is to be expected that its attacks will not deviate too much from those in previous installments. Most attack patterns of the “old” monsters were carried over into World, and there is little reason to assume that this will not be the case for Deviljho.

Once the info is available, we will update Deviljho in our big monster list.

Are you already preparing for Deviljho?

Fortnite has login issues – login failed

Schuhmann 20. March 2018 Reading time < 1 minutes

Login issues are occurring on Fortnite (PC, PS4, Xbox One, iOS) on Tuesday. Many users are receiving the message “Login failed” when using the Epic Games Launcher, and the login does not work, particularly a problem on PlayStation 4. There is actually no server maintenance planned; this is an outage for Fortnite.

Since around 1:30 PM on Tuesday, reports have been increasing that there are issues with Fortnite. Players receive the message “Login failed” when trying to log in.

Fortnite has already responded. Around 1:45 PM, the message came that there are difficulties with the servers.

Epic, the operators of Fortnite, have already been informed about the problem and are investigating the difficulties. The company shares this via Twitter. They are surprisingly quick to respond to issues in the game – this also includes outages.

Epic has reacted very quickly to this problem in the past

There may be another overflow, as Fortnite has risen to unprecedented popularity in recent weeks. However, the timing is unusual – such problems have typically occurred more towards the evening our time. Since Fortnite is now also playable on mobile, the number of players is likely to have increased even further.

Login issues also occurred last Saturday afternoon, but they only lasted for about half an hour. These problems also arose last night from Monday to Tuesday. Again, they were resolved within an hour.

While Fortnite initially suffered from such difficulties for hours, they have been able to resolve them relatively quickly in recent times.

We will update the article as soon as there is more information regarding the current difficulties with Fortnite.

The fame of Fortnite attracts Logan and Jake Paul, even though they don’t play

Schuhmann 20. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

The growing popularity of the video game Fortnite has now attracted the controversial YouTuber Logan Paul and his brother Jake to Twitch. Logan’s channel already has 230,000 subscribers, but he hasn’t streamed yet. They are not considered gamers. It’s all about the size of the game.

YouTuber Logan Paul has been involved in some controversies recently. His type of YouTube content is repulsive to some. He wandered through Japan and made fun of the culture there. When he made a suicide victim’s corpse the theme of a video, it went too far for some.

Many find the way he operates his channel distasteful.

Logan Paul has now announced that he will turn to Twitch and gaming. He makes no secret of why he is now interested in Fortnite: Because it is so big and promises so much attention.

His stated goal is to stream Fortnite with rap star Drake. Last week, the well-known Fortnite streamer Ninja managed to do that, a passionate gamer. 600,000 watched, a Twitch record.

Although Logan Paul has not done anything on Twitch yet, 230,000 already follow his channel.

The community on Twitch is divided in its reaction.

Some say Twitch is not the place for them. After all, the brothers also bring a community with them that prefers to draw penises in chats.
Others like the streamer summit1g express positive opinions. If they bring so many users from YouTube to Twitch, it’s ultimately good for the platform.

Jake Paul immediately has trouble with Twitch streamer Ninja

Paul’s brother Jake Paul also wants to act like a gamer now. With his first video “I’m donating 200k to my favorite streamer” he immediately got into trouble. Because he used a picture of Ninja as a thumbnail (title image)

But the video itself is not about Ninja at all; instead, it shows an older “prank” with other streamers to whom he supposedly donates money. These are his colleagues from Team 10.

Twitch streamer Ninja does not find this very funny. As the US site Kotaku reports, Ninja is having all mentions of “Paul” removed from his channel. Ninja has distanced himself from Paul, calling him this “famous John Smith,” who is using his face for clickbait despite being rich enough not to need to.

The thumbnail has presumably been changed now after there were some negative reactions to the video.
