Epic has revealed what is coming next week for players in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It’s Llamas. In exchange, Smoke Grenades are being removed. There’s also an image of the jetpacks.
Via Twitter, Epic shared a small developer update for Fortnite: Battle Royale. They briefly look at the new mode and introduce what’s in store for next week’s update.
Jetpacks have to wait
To start, they briefly mention the jetpacks. They were supposed to actually arrive in Fortnite Battle Royale, but the arrival of the jetpacks was postponed due to issues in internal gameplay tests.
Epic hasn’t announced exactly when they will come, but at least there is a screenshot of the jetpack.
New 20-player mode aims to bridge the gap between Team and 50-player modes
This is one of the Limited Time modes, so it will be disappearing from Fortnite soon.
Gold-Llama in PvE
What the new patch 3.3 brings
For next week, likely Thursday, March 15, Epic has prepared the next patch. This is update 3.3.
Here they are bringing the “Llamas” known from PvE. They will likely function similarly to treasure chests and ammo crates: as loot containers.
You can find the Llamas randomly on the island. They should help players right away, it is said. The more detailed information about what is inside the Llamas will likely be revealed in the next patch notes.

Smoke Grenades are being removed from Fortnite: BR with 3.3 and are going back to the workshop. Player feedback led Epic to decide to remove these from Fortnite: Battle Royale – just like the submachine gun. The smoke grenades were apparently used too little and are scheduled for rework.
Around Destiny 2 is in turmoil. Fans are dissatisfied. Many are turning their backs on the game. Bungie is trying to get the game back on track with extensive changes and constantly emphasizes that they listen to the wishes and concerns of the community. But is Bungie really listening?
On Friday, March 9, Bungie released the long-awaited details on the sandbox adjustments as part of the upcoming Update 1.1.4 for the troubled Destiny 2. And as feared, the forums and comment sections of many fan sites are ablaze; the community is once again in an uproar.
The reason for this is some announced changes that the sandbox update will bring. Many of them will certainly do good for the game. However, others seem to be developed without considering the desires of the fans.
Some adjustments were never requested. They seem pointless or even exacerbate existing problems instead of resolving them. There is the impression that some essential parts of player feedback go unheard. The community feels overlooked – even though Bungie does not tire of emphasizing how much they hear the community.
So the question arises: Is Bungie really listening to the community?
Bungie’s handling of feedback – the root of all evil
Although Bungie recently promised to expand communication and make it more transparent, Bungie’s behavior in dealing with fan criticism has not significantly changed since Destiny 1. Bungie tends to fall into this pattern when processing feedback:
The community identifies a feature in need of improvement or parameters that could be better and provides constructive and thoughtful feedback: “Mode X is currently unattractive for reasons Y and Z. Bungie, here’s how you can solve the problem: Solution A, Solution B.”
Bungie reviews the feedback, works on it themselves, and responds afterwards: “We hear you! Your opinion is very important to us! We see that you want Solution A or B. But you don’t really want that. What you REALLY want is Solution C. So, we present you Solution C!”
The community looks at Solution C and says: “Okay, some aspects of Solution C are actually good, but Solution C does not ultimately solve problems Y and Z and may even introduce more new problems. Solution A or B would have eliminated all the problems.”
In response, Bungie says: “We hear you. Your feedback is of great value to us. But first, play Solution C; it will be really great. You will see.”
This pattern was also evident in the implementation of significant parts of player feedback in the already released Update 1.1.3 and the upcoming Update 1.1.4 for Destiny 2.
The community had already clearly and constructively communicated several times to Bungie where the most significant weaknesses of Destiny 2 currently lie and how these can be specifically addressed. “Finally remove the timer in the Nightfall strike. Lower the time to kill in the Crucible. This is the reason for many inconsistencies in the problem-plagued PvP of Destiny 2” – this was the prevailing sentiment within the Guardian community.
In response, Bungie’s developers presented changes that caused head-shaking, frustration, and confusion among fans. For instance, while the timer was removed in the Nightfall strike, Bungie instead installed a new timer – this time only hidden. At the same time, they quickly removed all modifiers from the normal version of the Nightfalls – a change that nobody asked for and that shocked the community.
Also, some recently announced changes that will come to the game with the next update at the end of March 2018 caused general astonishment. While Bungie also recognized that the time to kill is too high as one of the biggest problems, instead of merely optimizing this one parameter, Bungie adjusted a multitude of other factors, which could now lead to new problem areas in PvP.
Meanwhile, the actual problem – the high time to kill – apparently remains unresolved. When asked why they didn’t just lower the time to kill, Bungie responded that players should first play the update; it will be a fantastic experience.
Here, once again, the typical Bungie pattern becomes clearly visible.
Does Bungie listen to its fans?
This systematic approach reveals some fundamental issues in Bungie’s feedback processing and simultaneously answers the initial question of whether Bungie truly listens to the community.
Bungie hears the discussions within the community and collects feedback for potential optimizations – that much is clear. However, the feedback that developers receive does not only consist of criticism from players. A massive amount of further data, which Bungie casually collects from players in-game, also flows into the optimization process of Destiny 2.
This data provides developers with important additional insights into various parameters and problem areas of the game. Thus, developers have a completely different view of issues in Destiny 2. Consequently, they also have a different approach to solving these problems during the optimization process.
The mistake Bungie makes here is that they only involve the community once in the optimization process. They listen to the players – but only once and only at the beginning.
After that, players are completely left out. During the actual optimization phase, they do not engage in a much-needed dialogue with them. They do not present any of the developed solution approaches or ask the Guardians for their opinions on which solution approach is better and whether anything could still be improved.
They do not seek further feedback from the Guardians. The player community receives the final result of the optimization work in the form of an update and has no way to influence it further. There remains only the once listening from Bungie – but that is simply not enough!
And that is precisely the main reason why many in the community feel that their feedback falls on deaf ears at Bungie.
Is Bungie solely to blame?
Although Bungie itself determines the structures and processes of its optimization procedures, the approach chosen by Bungie to only involve the community once is not only attributable to the studio itself and its “evil intentions” – especially since such an approach embodies the common standard in the industry.
Bungie’s approach is, to a certain extent, even understandable. Because Bungie has already experienced firsthand where the unrestricted implementation of feedback from the community without a clear direction can lead to, as evidenced by the nerf issue with the predecessor. Certain parts of the community also vigorously contributed to the current situation back during the days of Destiny 1.
How can such problems be avoided?
If Bungie sticks to its existing concept for feedback processing and game optimization, it is unlikely that the current situation will change. However, a course change is not in sight.
A prime example of how it can be done differently is provided by the developers of The Division.
They entered history with their famous statement “Our game is not fun“. After this admission, Massive Entertainment worked hand in hand with the community. They invited selected players to the studio and ensured that wishes and thoughtful concepts from the fan community flowed directly into the optimization process.
This substantially contributed to The Division ultimately being able to offer a conciliatory gaming experience and currently standing strong as a result.

Epic is diligent and now brings new items to Fortnite: Battle Royale weekly. With so many weapons and items, it’s easy to lose track. However, with only 5 equipment slots, you must weigh your options carefully. Thanks to our item guide, you’ll only take the most useful weapons and items into Fortnite!
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, you can find an increasing variety of weapons, healing items, and shield potions. The grenade arsenal is also constantly expanding. With only five inventory slots, you need to carefully consider which items you want to carry with you.
Although Epic recently removed a category of weapons (standard submachine guns), the selection is still enormous – and is likely to continue growing.
We categorize all weapons and items, and which items you should carry in each category.
Standard Weapons in Fortnite: Battle Royale
THE standard weapon in Fortnite: Battle Royale is the assault rifle. You should always have an assault rifle on hand, as it is the best all-round weapon. However, at the start of a round, you are likely to come across another weapon more frequently: the pistol (or the revolver or the hand cannon).
As long as you don’t find an assault rifle, take the pistol with you. Skilled shooters can deal significant damage even with the common variant. Depending on personal preferences, the burst assault rifle is also an extremely strong alternative.
The following ranking applies to standard weapons (the weapon at the top should be ideally included):
Assault Rifle
Burst Assault Rifle
Hand Cannon
Standard Pistol
Revolver
A blue rarity burst assault rifle might be preferred by some players over the assault rifle. Take what feels better for you!
With the nerf of the double pump shotgun, new options have opened up in the melee category. The shotgun is still powerful (especially with critical hits), but the double version has become useless.
A proper boost has conversely been given to tactical submachine guns. The magazine has been enlarged. Since the weapon can also be found in epic quality, it is a strong alternative to shotguns in close combat.
Since the fire rate of tactical shotguns is higher than that of pump shotguns, they should be preferred starting from the rare rarity (blue).
You should always have a melee weapon with you. The crucial question now is whether you
want to use only a shotgun or submachine gun, or
want a combination of pump shotgun / shotgun / submachine gun
This depends on your personal preferences, but also on your available slots. A combination of pump shotgun and tactical submachine gun is brutal, but requires two inventory slots.
By the way: The tactical submachine gun is always preferred over the suppressed variant. It offers a larger magazine and kills more reliably than the suppressed SMG.
If you like, you can also use a suppressed pistol for close combat. Critical hits deal devastating damage.
The weapon or combination you use depends on several factors. How many inventory slots do you have available? How well can you aim with the weapons? Are you aggressive or more passive players?
Ranged Weapons in Fortnite: Battle Royale
Ranged weapons in Fortnite: Battle Royale include the crossbow, the hunting rifle, and the sniper rifles. While the crossbow primarily uses its strengths in infinite ammo and suppression, the hunting rifle is also excellent for medium distances.
However, the best ranged weapons are still the sniper rifles. The bolt-action sniper rifle stands unchallenged at the top. Even the rare variant kills any player with a critical hit, regardless of the opponent’s shield and health points.
If you find a ranged weapon, you can use the following ranking to determine whether you should take it with you – or leave it behind:
Heavy weapons are extremely rare in Fortnite: Battle Royale. If luck is on your side and gifts you a grenade or rocket launcher – take it! Especially in the endgame, heavy weapons will serve you well!
Furthermore, rocket launchers are considered the rarest weapons in Fortnite: Battle Royale – and there’s a good reason for that. Whether you want to smoke out enemy fortifications or take your enemies out from above, the rocket launcher is a true all-rounder.
Since standard grenades are also considered explosive weapons, they also appear in the ranking:
Rocket Launcher
Grenade Launcher
Minigun
Grenades
Even though the minigun looks good on paper, it is rarely used. If you shoot at a fortress with the minigun, you often present an easy target. The damage against mobile opponents is also poor. The rocket launcher offers more options here.
Healing Items and Shield Potions in Fortnite: Battle Royale
You also have a wide selection of bandages, medkits, and shield potions at your disposal among other items. The slurp juice is the ultimate item in the game – the slurp juice heals your entire health and fully restores shields to the maximum.
Ideally, you should carry items that restore your health as well as reserve shield potions that can replenish your shield after a fight. At the beginning of each round, make sure to maximize your shield. You can then take any excess items with you.
Your shield is full? Then the ranking provides a good indication of which items you should take with you:
Slurp Juice (Maximum: 1) – Fully restores health and shields
Medkit (Maximum: 2) – Regenerates up to 100 health points
Shield Potion (Maximum: 2) – Restores 25 health and shield points each
Mini Shield Potions (Maximum: 10) – Provide 25 shield points per piece up to a maximum of 50
Shield Potions (Maximum: 2) – 50 shield points upon use
Bandages (Maximum 15) – Restore 15 health points up to a maximum of 75
Mini Shield Potions are excellent for regenerating shield points in short combat breaks. If you find two large reserve shield potions, take them with you. With Mini Shield Potions, shield points can only be built up to a maximum of 50.
If you haven’t found a slurp juice yet, it makes sense to reserve one item slot for shield potions and one for medkits.
So what does the best loadout look like in Fortnite: Battle Royale?
Ideally, you should have the following weapons and items with you:
An all-round weapon like the assault rifle
A melee weapon like the tactical shotgun / submachine gun
A ranged weapon like the sniper rifle
An explosive weapon like the rocket launcher
A slurp juice for complete healing after a fight
Depending on your personal playstyle, you may also choose to skip an explosive weapon and opt for two melee weapons instead. If you haven’t found a slurp juice, take one item for shield healing and one for health regeneration with you.

In the Overwatch League, disciplinary measures are raining down. There are even repeat offenders who have been punished multiple times for violations. The hothead xQc is caught, and it will be costly.
Blizzard is trying to establish the hero shooter as an eSport with the Overwatch League, elevating it to the level of traditional sports. This also includes the professionals taking on a role model function and presenting and behaving accordingly. Anyone who expresses themselves derogatorily or even racially has no place in the Overwatch League and must expect penalties that can be severe.
The hardest punishment, however, likely falls on Félix Lengyel, better known as xQc from the Dallas Fuel team. He received a hefty fine of $4000 and is also suspended for 4 matches starting March 12.
Repeated racism leads to hefty fine
As justification, the Overwatch League states that “xQc used emotes in a racially derogatory manner multiple times during the League’s stream and on social media. Additionally, he used derogatory terms towards the League’s casters and fellow players in both social media and his private stream.”
Although the League does not specify the exact incidents, it is assumed to involve spamming the “TriHard 7” emote when the host Malik Forte was visible on stream. Forte is Black, and the emote depicts a Black person.
xQc denies any racist intentions, pointing out that it is a normal emote on Twitch and refers to Malik Forte as “a good friend.” He had previously made similar positive remarks, but this was interpreted as irony.

He suspects that the accusations are part of a campaign against him because he and other players have used the emote for ages without any penalties.
However, there have already been several incidents involving xQc that week, as he declared on Twitter that “casting the League has given him cancer” – so the punishment could also be related to that.
The Overwatch League itself seems to take it with humor and mocks xQc during the stream. Because xQc supposedly stands for “x-tremely questionable conduct.” The scene starts at minute 26:15.

Defiance 2050 will be a reboot of the online shooter Defiance. Through the Valor system, it is possible to transfer some of your achievements from the original to the reboot. However, your character and its items will remain in the old game.
The Valor system allows you to transfer some of your achievements to Defiance 2050. These include:
Unique titles you earned in Defiance
Account upgrades like loadout slots and character slots
Additionally, it is possible to earn so-called “Valor Commendations” in Defiance. These allow you to:
Unlock boosts
Earn cosmetic items, including outfits, titles, and vehicle skins
However, the character and its items will remain in the old Defiance and cannot be transferred.
Complete Pursuits to earn Valor Commendations
These items will then be available to you in the reboot Defiance 2050. To receive these rewards, you must complete so-called “Pursuits,” new ones of which will be introduced in Defiance this coming summer with an update. Pursuits are the achievements in Defiance.
Pursuits already exist in the game, but they do not yet earn you Valor Commendations. With the June update, not only will further Pursuits be introduced, but the existing ones will also be expanded with the new system.

This didn’t last long. Story writer Drew Karpyshyn is leaving BioWare and the Anthem team after less than two years.
When Drew Karpyshyn returned to BioWare in 2016, fans were delighted. After all, Karpyshyn is considered one of the brilliant minds behind many of the cool stories that we got to experience in the first parts of the “Mass Effect” series. When “Anthem” was later announced, fans could also be reassured. Anthem would surely be more than a “soulless MMO shooter” and would feature an exciting story.
This trust is now wavering, as Drew Karpyshyn has announced that he is leaving BioWare again. After less than 2 years, his last day at BioWare was on March 2, 2018. Although he does not provide explicit reasons, he implies in his farewell post on his blog that BioWare simply took too much time, leaving all his other projects behind. In addition to his work on video games, he has also published several sci-fi novels.
However, Karpyshyn is not completely withdrawing from the game industry. He will work at Fogbank Entertainment and FoxNext Games in the future, although he is not yet allowed to reveal anything about the projects there.
Lastly, he points out that there would be “no dirty laundry” – so no disputes or anything that would have led him to stop at BioWare. He will also not talk about Anthem just because he no longer works at BioWare – fans will have to wait for official announcements and the release of the game.
Whether this means that the story writing for Anthem is already finished cannot be said at this time. We can only follow Karpyshyn’s advice: wait and drink tea.
What suits a MMORPG where you can fly on brooms particularly well? Of course, a kind of Quidditch, the sport known from Harry Potter. This is now offered by the MMORPG Citadel: Forge with Fire.
On March 7, the MMORPG Citadel: Forge with Fire received a major update. This introduced the Broomstick League, a new sport in which you fly on brooms like in Quidditch and try to score points as a team. The developers integrated a new arena where the matches take place.
In the presentation, the developers of the MMO avoid any mention of Quidditch or Harry Potter, but the intention is clear.
Experience intense matches on flying brooms
The Broomstick League allows you exciting sports duels:
You fly on a broom over an arena
Your task is to shoot balls into goals
Matches are played in teams consisting of five players each
Use tactics in the team to make passes
The team with the most points wins
Each match lasts five minutes
As a reward, you have the opportunity to create your own arenas
Create your own arenas
The Broomstick League thus introduces a fun way to compete with each other in a fun and unusual sport. If you unlock the “Net and Ball Dispenser” items through the matches, you will even have the opportunity to create your own arenas.
In The Division today, on March 10th, the big vendor reset is happening. These items are particularly worthwhile.
There’s a lot happening in The Division. On March 8th, Massive confirmed the ongoing development of The Division 2, and the plans for Year 3 were announced.
This weekend, the Global Event “Raid” is also running with the secret sets Striker, Reclaimer, and Watchman’s Call.
If you’ve been farming for this reason, you can check out the new vendor offerings in between, as the weekly vendor reset takes place from Friday night to Saturday. We’ll show you what’s recommended after the vendor reset in The Division.

Crusaders of Light is a mobile MMORPG reminiscent of World of Warcraft. After achieving great success on Android and iOS, the “mobile WoW” is now coming to Steam. There is even crossplay between smartphone and PC!
Normally, successful online role-playing games on PC eventually get a mobile version. Therefore, there are games like Lineage 2 Revolution or planned projects like Blade & Soul M or Black Desert Mobile.
And then there’s Crusaders of Light, which is coming from mobile to PC on Steam!
Steam launch and new update with additional class!
Crusaders of Light is a mobile game that, in terms of design and gameplay, resembles the classic World of Warcraft (WoW). You can complete quests alone and in groups. Even 40-player raids, a battle royale mode, and PvP battles are possible.
Crusaders of Light offers raids for up to 40 players
With the Steam version, the update “Surge of Elements” and a new class are being added. With the Elementalist, there are now 5 classes, alongside the existing Warriors, Paladins, Rangers, and Mystics. The Elementalist is particularly notorious for fire, water, earth, and ice magic.
Also interesting: You will get a new raid and a new dungeon.
Crossplay between PC and mobile
At the launch of the Steam version, there is an additional server named “Ferroc Camp”. But the best is yet to come: Crusaders of Light supports crossplay between PC and mobile devices.
You can play a little on PC in the morning, and then on the way to work by train, you can pull out your phone and just continue where you left off on Steam.

There will soon be fresh competition in the market for sci-fi MMOs. “Project C” aims to grab a big piece of the pie. Influences include Bungie and Pixar. The staff have experience from games like Half-Life 2 and Thief. And they also have the MMO wonder technology SpatialOS on board.
Those who complain that there is little movement in the MMO market can now breathe a sigh of relief. The developers at Darewise have announced a new sci-fi MMO under the name “Project C”.
Darewise consists of a lot of “old hands” in the genre. Darewise was founded by designer Randy Smith, who worked on the Thief series. Victor Antonov from the former Half-Life 2 team is also on board.
As inspiration, companies like Bungie and Pixar are mentioned, who have “stood for quality since day one”.
Little information, big ideas
So far, there is only little information about the mysterious Project C. It will be the debut project of Darewise and is supposed to represent “the first step of an ambitious journey” to offer truly innovative experiences in the realm of “AAA titles” – at least the plans sound grandiose. There is still no information about the story or gameplay, which likely indicates that the whole thing is still in a early planning phase.
What is known is that there will be a huge, interconnected world in which players can permanently influence their actions, which also includes an extensive ecosystem.
However, it is known that development will take place with SpatialOS – we have reported on this technology several times before. It should enable entirely new dimensions for MMOs, connecting multiple servers and worlds. This should allow for sizes that were previously impossible with conventional technologies.
In November, there was already the first “Path to Glory” (PTG) team in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team. Now EA has released the second batch of World Cup player cards.
The first “Path to Glory” fall cards, known as “Path to Glory” (PTG) in English, were available in November last year. There were 25 players who must fight for their spot in the national team until the World Cup.
They behave similarly to the “One’s to Watch” players. If the player receives a special card, such as an Inform or a “Man of the Match” card, the rating of the PTG card automatically increases.
“Path to Glory” Spring Edition
This is the “Path to Glory” team in the Spring Edition. Another 23 players from various nationalities, who want to earn their spot in the World Cup, will now be available in packs. You can obtain them from March 9 at 7 PM until March 16 in sets with rare players or purchase them from other players on the transfer market.
Included are stars like Gonzalo Higuain, Thiago Alcantara, Mauro Icardi, and Isco. German PTG Spring cards are Leon Goretzka, Ilkay Gündogan, and Marvin Plattenhardt.
Many popular Weekend League players have made it into the selection. They include:
With the “Path to Glory” event, special Squad Building Challenges (SBC’s) and weekly objectives are released.
The following “Path to Glory” SBC’s are available:
“Path to Glory” Fall (untradeable): For an 81 rated team with a “Path to Glory” card, you will receive a random, untradeable “Path to Glory” fall player
“Path to Glory” Fall (tradeable): For an 83 rated team with a “Path to Glory” card and a “Team of the Week” player, you will receive a random, tradeable “Path to Glory” fall player
“Path to Glory” Spring (untradeable): For an 82 rated team with a “Path to Glory” card, you will receive a random, untradeable “Path to Glory” spring player
“Path to Glory” Spring (tradeable): For an 84 rated team with a “Path to Glory” card and a “Team of the Week” player, you will receive a random, tradeable “Path to Glory” spring player
Improved Gold Upgrade (untradeable):For a gold player team with at least 5 rare cards, you will receive two rare, untradeable gold players – one with a rating of 81 or higher
Daily SBCs: These are SBC’s with different conditions for which you receive smaller sets. The first daily SBC is called “3 National Trios” and rewards a gold player set.
The weekly objectives require scoring a goal with players from different nations on their debut for your club. The rewards are unknown, but they are likely smaller player sets.
What is special about the “Path to Glory” cards?
These special cards behave like “One’s to Watch” cards, meaning they are dynamic and can change their rating.
If the “Path to Glory” player receives a TOTW card, a Man of the Match card, a Hero card, or a Record Breaker card during the FUT-18 season, the “Path to Glory” card will automatically be upgraded to this enhanced card. Only special cards from the “Team of the Year” or “Team of the Season” will not provide an upgrade.
EA has also announced that the PTG cards can receive upgrades during the World Cup. Thus, they will be upgraded beyond the normal season.
In other words: If the player performs strongly in real life, your “Path to Glory” card will get better.
The MMORPG Skyforge has been expanded with a new update. This allows you to investigate the disappearance of the goddess Tessa, among other things, and introduces some new features.
The developers of the MMORPG Skyforge are tirelessly working on the game and regularly release updates. These can be minor bug fixes or adjustments to arena fights or the Hall of Trophies. But also content updates, like the recently released update, which revolves around the disappearance of the goddess Tessa.
Where is Tessa?
Tessa is the goddess of flowers, but she was never really taken seriously by the others. At least, until she came across Ether Resonators in her research and opened portals to all the resonators of the planet in her temple. This granted the immortals access to endless hunting grounds to obtain valuable artifacts.
But one day, when the energy ran out and the temple stood empty, the others wondered what had happened to Tessa. You are to find out now. A new challenge awaits you to bring back the goddess.
In addition, the update brings a number of changes and new features. These include, among other things:
UI overhauls
Bug fixes
Collector packs are now available on the market
New generations of artifacts are now sold in the Hall of Trophies
Adjustments to time runes
Preview of new items on your hero before you acquire the item
Skyforge receives regular support
The MMORPG Skyforge continues to be supported, and the developers regularly release interesting updates to keep the game current.
The next season of the competitive PvP mode FEAST in Final Fantasy XIV is starting soon and the winners will receive exclusive prizes, including this new mount.
It has been several weeks since the release of content patch 4.2, which brought some changes to the PvP system of FEAST.
The icons on the battlefield have been improved, the rules have been adjusted, and there is a new mode and a map, the Crystal Tower.
Developers respond to feedback
First of all, the development team thanked everyone for the many suggestions and feedback on the new system and shared that the implementation of this is already in progress.
Some of these, such as adjustments to certain PvP abilities, will already go live with patch 4.25 on March 13.
Larger changes, such as adjustments to the layout of the maps, will unfortunately have to wait until content patch 4.3.
Project Manager Moriguchi emphasized that the changes to the layout will be significant.
Fly “Like a Boss”
Final Fantasy XIV players will recognize this flying chair: it’s the same one the mad Garlean scientist Aulus Mal Asina uses during the boss fight in the dungeon Ala Mhigo.
All players who manage to stay in the top 100 at the end of the season will receive this chair as a mount as a reward.
As a consolation prize, there are special “Wolf Collars” that can later be exchanged for an exclusive weapon of their choice. What these weapons look like was not disclosed in the blog post.
And for the top players who manage to take first place in their data center, they will receive a trophy that they can place in their private or guild house.
In Monster Hunter World there is currently the event quest “Apple of My Eye,” with which you can unlock a new armor piece: the Shadow Sunglasses. How to get the stylish sunglasses and what their status values are, you will find out here.
A new rotation of event quests has begun in Monster Hunter World, with time-limited tasks returning. For the quest “Apple of My Eye,” you can unlock a new armor piece that adorns your hunter with stylish sunglasses. The sunglasses have their own status values and a skill.
“Apple of My Eye” unlocks the Shadow Sunglasses
From now on, you can take on the 6-star event quest “Apple of My Eye,” for which you…
Hunting a monster means that it doesn’t matter whether you capture or kill the beast.
“Black Crystal Ticket” needed as crafting material
For successfully completing the quest, you will receive as a reward among other things the “Black Crystal Ticket.” With that, you will need to go to the forge, and the option to craft the sunglasses will appear. How many tickets you receive for the mission is random.
These base values are possessed by the Shadow Sunglasses:
Rarity: 5
Defense: 46
Slots: 1 x 3
Against Fire: 4
Against Water: 0
Against Thunder: 4
Against Ice: 2
Against Dragon: 0
Skills: Stun Resistance 1 (Reduces stun duration by 30%)
The Tzitzi-Ya-Ku at a glance
Monster type: Bird Wyvern
Element: None
Weakness: Thunder and Ice
Description: Tzitzi-Ya-Ku uses strong hind legs for attack and delivers powerful kicks. The fans on its head can create a blinding flash. Anyone who sees the flash will become dizzy for a while and unable to move.
Combat tip: If you attack the fans on its head, you limit the range of the flash. The head of the creature is breakable.
Today Xur is coming to Destiny 2.Where is he this time and what items does he have on offer? Here are his location and inventory on March 9th.
Normally, we use the regular Xur article to briefly highlight the latest developments around Destiny 2 or to provide an outlook on upcoming events. This time, however, a summary of the recently released information would significantly exceed the scope of this article, as Bungie finally revealed what the extensive sandbox adjustments will look like in the upcoming Update 1.1.4.
At the end of March 2018, there will be a lot of changes and new features related to PvP, the individual Guardian classes, and weapons, which we have compiled in the following article – here you can read everything:
Deep in the game files of Fortnite: Battle Royale, data miners have found new content. They have stumbled upon C4, new grenades, and even a weapon for Easter! We take a look at the new toys!
Epic regularly brings new items and weapons to Fortnite: Battle Royale, aiming to keep the player experience feeling fresh. With the last update, new items have emerged in the game files that the community is eagerly speculating about.
We take a look at what the new weapons and items might be. Keep in mind that none of these items are currently in the game – there is also no guarantee that these weapons will ever make it into the game!
stink bombs, C4, and more – new items in Fortnite: Battle Royale!
The data miners have also provided corresponding images:
Top left: A new grenade that will likely be called a gas grenade or stink bomb and is expected to cause damage over time. Currently, there is only one grenade in the game that deals damage, so the gas grenade would be a logical addition. Whether the stink bomb will also obscure vision is still unclear.
Top middle: A new submachine gun? So far, there is no submachine gun with legendary rarity in the game, but that could soon change. What the weapon will be like is entirely unclear. To stand out from the other models, it could deal less damage per shot but have a significantly faster rate of fire.
Top right: Looks like a rocket launcher, but has electrical signs on the side. Also, the expression “Boom” on the edge of the weapon indicates an explosive weapon. Rumor has it that the weapon could resemble the Zapotron, a heavy laser rifle from the “Save the World” mode.
The Zapotron – a laser rifle from “Save the World”!
Bottom left: The symbol clearly indicates C4. Presumably, the found C4 will be placed at a specific location. Whether it detonates remotely or after a certain time automatically is unclear. The transmitter on the side suggests remote detonation. The explosive material would open up new tactical possibilities.
Bottom middle: A new assault rifle with a scope. Initial predictions suggest a firing behavior similar to that of burst assault rifles. Are we seeing the first legendary assault rifle with a scope?
Bottom right: Here we are likely seeing an Easter-themed variant of the grenade launcher. Such a special edition already occurred at Christmas – there, the grenade launcher shot snowballs. For Easter, we will probably deal with eggs that, with proper physical behavior, will bounce around even more.
Caused chaos at Christmas – the snowball launcher
When these items will come and how they will work is still completely unclear. Furthermore, it is unknown whether these items will also come in the “Save the World” mode.
What do you think of the new items?

The first open beta of the action MMORPG TERA has launched on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. However, the launch on PS4 seems to be a bit rocky, as there have been server issues.
TERA stands for “The Exiled Realm of Arborea” and has been playable on PC since 2012. As of today, March 9th, you can also play TERA on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Currently, there is a BETA taking place on the consoles that will run until Monday, March 12th.
However, the beta is not running smoothly on PlayStation 4. If players try to log in, only an error message appears.
You can monitor the current server status of TERA on the page outage.report .
Update:
At around 7:00 PM German time, the TERA team announced via Twitter that the issues on PS4 had apparently been resolved. If you still encounter errors, a console restart might help.
And we update again. The problem seems not to be fully resolved yet. But work is still being done on a solution.

TERA is among the action MMORPGs and is one of the top titles in this category. Each class has its own moves and skills, and the action-packed controls are perfect for implementation on the controller.
A new flying mount from Battle for Azeroth is causing a stir. Will we soon be flying in WoW with a machine gun flying skull?
The conflict between goblins and gnomes is an old rivalry in World of Warcraft, primarily reflected in engineering. For a long time, the two races have been arguing about who can create the better inventions. For a long time, gnomes were seen as the winners, as technically Mimiron from Ulduar is a Mechagnome and designed the brilliant flying mount “Mimiron’s Head,” which can drop very rarely from Yogg-Saron.
With Battle for Azeroth, the goblins apparently had enough of this humiliation. The data miners from icy-veins have dug deep again and extracted a new model for a flying mount from the game data.
As a counterpart to Mimiron’s Head, which represents a gnome skull, the mount “Goblin Head” (surely a working title) has been found. This is also a flying mount and even features a special weapon animation! A hatch opens downward, revealing a large Gatling gun that then fires directly.
However, it is still not known whether the Goblin Head will actually be available as a mount for players or only used by a boss. It would fit Gallywix perfectly – especially due to his rather portly shape, it would be fitting for him to fly around the world. The disproportionately large weapon also raises doubts about whether players will be able to obtain the mount (at least with the weapon).
But who knows how it will turn out: Perhaps the origin of this mount will be found in the Alpha soon.
