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:
Destiny 2 wants to bring back the magic: Less team-shot, more skill
But today, on March 9th, the Agent of the Nine is back in the Destiny universe. Let’s welcome Xur together.
All information about Xur in Destiny 2 on March 9th on PS4, Xbox One, and PC
C4, MPs and grenades! – Data miners find new weapons for Fortnite
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.
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.
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?

There are problems with TERA on PS4: This is the server status
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.
EnMasse confirms: There are login issues on PS4
The console version of TERA is being distributed here by EnMasse, the publisher of the US PC version of TERA. EnMasse announced on Twitter:
“We are aware that there is a problem on PS4 preventing players from logging in and are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.”
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.
In the meantime check out our comprehensive TERA class guide for 2018 and find out which class suits you best.

Crazy flying mount in WoW: Goblin skull with Gatling gun!
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.
Mimiron’s Head – only for the better faction
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.
Have you seen the possible luxury mount? The Brutosaur is truly gigantic …

Richard Garriott explained his new game Shroud of the Avatar to us
Shroud of the Avatar, the MMO-solo RPG mix by Richard Garriott, is about to launch. Therefore, the head spoke to us personally in an interview, explaining the unique game concept including housing, story, and combat system. He also explains why there is so much criticism towards the game.
Shroud of the Avatar (SotA) is supposed to be a new type of game. A mix between solo role-playing and MMORPG sandbox, where you experience thrilling stories, but also get the full MMO experience of the sandbox.
An ambitious project that is partly criticized sharply. Shortly before the release of the first episode of Shroud of the Avatar on March 27, 2018, we had an interview with Richard Garriott, the lead developer of the game.
What is Shroud of the Avatar all about?
In the lead-up to the interview, Richard Garriott first showed his game Shroud of the Avatar and named the many advantages of the game:
- SotA is supposed to tell an exciting story and show the consequences of choices
- The game is also supposed to have an MMORPG sandbox part, where you meet other players and control the economy
- The best items should be crafted by players
- PvP will exist, but players will be warned when entering certain zones
- There will be housing
- The game can also be played offline in solo mode
- There will be an action combat system where players can use a card system similar to Magic
Story in solo instances like in SWTOR?
The story sounded interesting. According to Garriott, players should be able to make lasting decisions with consequences. That sounds good, but something similar was promised back in the day for SWTOR. In the end, the consequences of choices merely resulted in differently worded emails after the quest. Whether an NPC died in the quest or not was not relevant.
This is supposed to be different in SotA. The story will – like in SWTOR – be told in solo instances. There, you can only enter alone. No silly players messing up your audience with the king or an emotional farewell scene.
Oh no, Bob is dead!
During the story of the first episode “Forsaken Virtues”, there are supposed to be frequent significant decisions. NPCs can die. If this happens, the NPC is also missing in the open game world of the MMORPG mode. But what happens when playing together with a friend, and for me, Bob the NPC is dead, while my friend still has him?
Garriott then said: “Then you won’t have Bob there, but Bob’s replacement. He will say different things, but he fulfills the same basic function as Bob. But it shouldn’t be noticeable to you both that one of you has Bob in front of him, while the other has the successor.”
Emotionally, it would have significance if the beloved Bob were to be missing for me.
Same endpoint, but different story!
During the first episode of SotA, a lot is supposed to happen. Therefore, only the location of the last scene should be the same for all players. What happens there should depend heavily on the decisions made thus far.
This also applies to the start of the next episode. Depending on how you completed “Forsaken Virtues”, the next part will continue differently.
Sandbox like in EVE, but less PvP
While the solo part of Shroud of the Avatar is reminiscent of Star Wars: The Old Republic (and many SotA devs were previously involved in SWTOR), the MMORPG part is similar to EVE Online, but with a lower PvP focus. The economy is supposed to be firmly in player hands. Crafters should be able to create everything: The best weapons are not from the dragon’s lair, but from the hands of a player master blacksmith.
Unlike in many MMORPGs, in Shroud of the Avatar, as a crafter, you should have a reason to exist. Thus, you can only craft and do not have to set out on adventures. The same applies to collectors of rare resources. One can make a living from this activity alone.
Great respect for crafters
Such crafting and gathering experts enjoy a good reputation in the community, according to Garriott, as an expiration system frequently necessitates new equipment. Furthermore, many buildings and entire cities are built by players.
Housing without hassle?
Housing plays an important role, you can even compose music and paint pictures. Building spaces are limited but generously available. If you do not pay your rent, you will eventually be thrown out and make way for other builders.
For a lot of gold, however, you can also buy a house permanently and keep it forever. However, according to Garriott, there should be enough building space to avoid property crises like in ArcheAge or Final Fantasy 14. If necessary, new building spaces will simply be patched into the game.
The combat system – action with cards!
The combat system of Shroud of the Avatar is not a tab-targeting system like in WoW. Instead, you must actively attack and dodge. The positioning of your hero plays an important role.
Additionally, there is an optimal card system. Your skills are then in a card deck, which offers you certain skills. With a bit of luck and the tactical use of these cards, you can execute combos and achieve particularly powerful effects.
Dynamics instead of memorizing rotation
Richard Garriott aims to avoid an MMORPG problem he calls “table management”. This is the fact that in many games, players are only looking for the optimal DPS output, leading to a boring repetition of the same rotations. The card system is less predictable and therefore leads to more dynamic battles.
Shroud of the Avatar under criticism, what is it about?
For some time now, there has been a loud faction of players who have nothing good to say about Shroud of the Avatar. They accuse the developers of Shroud of the Avatar, among other things, of turning the game into a huge grind fest against their initial promises.
The grind is optional
Regarding the grind, Garriott opined that you actually only need to do that if you are a hardcore PvP player and want to maximize your stats. Due to the gentle leveling curve, it is much less important for PvE and RP players to grind for hours.
Overall, levels are not so important. The zones have enough different difficulty levels so that small heroes can easily hunt alongside experienced veterans.
Happy players vs. the “troll camp”
As the game producer Starr Long has already claimed, Richard Garriott states that there is a group of players who hate the game and would criticize it at every opportunity. The so-called “troll camp” even targets individual SotA fans for harassment campaigns.
The reason for this hostility, Garriott explains, is that many players joined when the game was in early access on Steam. The first players, who joined earlier, were dedicated fans who welcomed every little update and eagerly followed the growth of the game.
Many players who joined later did not know this feeling. They saw only the flaws and shortcomings the game still had at the time, not the enormous progress it had made since its initial alpha release. A large part of the current “troll camp” emerged from these dissatisfied players.
Mistakes were made
However, Garriott admits that perhaps the game could have been described better. Many solo RPG players were likely put off when more and more the term MMORPG was mentioned, while the fans of Ultima Online distrusted the solo part.
But by now, a large part of the players are satisfied with the hybrid model of solo and MMORPG. Especially once they have tried the game.
In any case, there is already excitement for the influx of new players unindoctrinated by the trolls at the game’s start on March 27, 2018. They will have the chance to play the finished game and will never have the negative experiences of the current trolls.
These new MMOs are also being released in 2018.

Surprisingly: There are now new gameplay content to test for you!
Sea of Thieves Beta download active
The open testing phase is already active and can now be used by you. Until Sunday, March 11, at 11:00 AM German time, the servers are available for you and your friends.
In the past weeks, the developers repeatedly conducted scale tests to gather important information about server usage. This weekend, Rare expects the largest influx of players on Sea of Thieves. Accordingly, there may be problems that could affect logins or manifest in other disruptive ways.
Keep in mind that this beta does not reflect the final gaming experience but is used to highlight errors. There will be many rough edges that will be polished before the release.
Beta participation and download
How do you participate in the beta? Participation is quite simple, almost anyone can join. Every Xbox Insider, pre-orderer, or participant of the closed beta can join the open beta. If you are not an Insider yet, simply register in the Insider Hub on Windows 10 or Xbox One. You can find the hub in the store.
You can now find the final beta in the Microsoft Store.
You can find the official installation instructions of Sea of Thieves here
New gameplay in the open beta of Sea of Thieves
To the surprise of the players, Rare is now adding new content to the beta phase that you can test. This is probably due to the desire to have as many players as possible in this “final beta” to stress the servers. New content lures old testers back into the game.
- New faction: The Merchant Alliance faction is in the game for the first time. They are involved in trading animals or gunpowder.
- Skeleton Forts: Also for the first time in the game are the Skeleton Forts. There is a chance that forts in the world of Sea of Thieves will be occupied by skeletons. You can recognize this by the huge skull cloud that you can see clearly in the sky. Many players will rush there in search of great rewards, so be prepared!
Sea of Thieves Server status
During the test weekend, there will be more frequent issues. Due to overcrowding, login servers may be temporarily disabled to prevent new players from entering the game. This is intended to improve the gaming experience for players who are already in the game.
Current server status of Sea of Thieves
Regularly, there will be server status updates. If you have trouble accessing the game, you can check here whether it is an issue on your end or with the servers.

The story behind the “simple task” in Monster Hunter World
There is an event quest in Monster Hunter World, available since March 9th: “A Simple Task”. This has puzzled the hunters, as it has surprisingly high requirements for a collecting quest. It was suspected that the Deviljho would come with this quest. The riddle is now solved.
Monster Hunter World features a rotation of various event quests that offer additional rewards and special challenges. The current rotation includes a quest that stirred up rumors – “A Simple Task”. Here, hunters must collect 10 gourmet mushrooms in the Ancient Forest.
Some hunters speculated that the Deviljho would appear as a surprise in this quest.
Because “A Simple Task” requires Hunter Rank 30 and is rated with a difficulty of 9 stars. The difficulty of a quest is measured in stars in Monster Hunter World, and star level 9 is currently the highest quest difficulty available.
The Deviljho is not behind the quest – it really is simple…
Thanks to the high requirements, hardly any hunter could imagine that this quest would really be “simple”. It would have made sense for the Deviljho to suddenly appear as a surprise and disrupt the collecting quest.
It was announced as the first DLC monster and is a brutal monster that would have fit as a late-game challenge. And if it weren’t for the Deviljho, one would have at least expected another difficult monster.
But “A Simple Task” actually is just a simple task! Hunters only need to collect the 10 gourmet mushrooms.
Why are the requirements so high now?
The quest requirements are only so high because there are a lot of tracks to collect for “tempered monsters”. These tracks are displayed in blue instead of green by the scout flies.
However, the tempered monsters belong to the endgame of Monster Hunter World, which explains why a hunter rank of 30 is required. So it really is a pure and simple collecting quest.
The current event quest rotation runs from March 9th to March 15th. What other events you can expect, see here: All event quests in March for Monster Hunter World at a glance

My-MMO asks: What do you miss in today’s games?
Everything used to be better! That’s why we’re asking you today: What exactly was better about games back then?
Although video games have only been around for a few decades, they have already changed rapidly multiple times. From text-based games to the first “Super Mario” titles to gigantic MMORPGs like World of Warcraft, the gaming field has grown increasingly vast.
Over the years, games have also evolved. Almost all single-player titles now rely on automatic, regular save systems, and things like “perma-death” have become rare, occurring almost only in survival games or Dark Souls.
World of Warcraft continues to face criticism that social aspects are slowly disappearing from the game and are mostly only present among heroic or mythic raiders, while the rest of the players fight anonymously through the group finder.
But many fundamental mechanics and modes of many games have also disappeared. So-called “split-screen” games are becoming increasingly rare, and which games still offer the chance to play with multiple people in front of one computer?
Games have changed, and much from the past has disappeared.
Let the breeze of nostalgia wash over you, remember your “wild gaming youth,” and let us know what you miss in today’s games!
Cortyn says: I miss when games were finished. I don’t necessarily mean that games come to market without bugs, but that they simply have a point where they are “finished” and no new content comes – no new content, no DLC, and no special skins that are only available if you liked Facebook page X or shared tweet Y. When I start my “Super Smash Bros.” on the N64 today, I know the game is still exactly as it was 15 years ago. I miss that kind of consistency in modern games, even though I know that it doesn’t bind customers and revenue decreases.
Basically, I think that not everything used to be “better,” but just different. Even today, games do many things right – but some things will probably always be missed.
But enough about me, let’s turn to you! What do you miss in current games? Which elements did you really enjoy in the past that are rarely seen today?

In LoL 8.6, you will soon throw pizzas and play crazy chickens
The new patch 8.6 is on the test servers and brings curiosities to League of Legends (LoL). These new skins are eye-catching!
The champions in League of Legends can equip players with crazy skins. These then change the appearance or even some visual effects of the selected champ.
Some of the optical changes are serious and fierce, turning champions into bitter combat machines. Others are more cheerful and can be understood with a certain pinch of humor. This includes two of the latest additions from patch 8.6.
Patch 8.6 brings Pizza Sivir and Chicken Galio
As Surrender@20 reports, the new patch with version number 8.6 has arrived on the test servers of League of Legends. It includes the new skins “Hextech Alistar”, “Birdio” and “Pizza Delivery Sivir” as well as a new “Pizza Chicken” ward skin.
Hextech Skin for Alistar
The new skin renews the following properties for Alistar
- Model and textures
- Visual effects of all spells
- Sound effects of all spells
- Recall, dance and death animations
- Price? The Alistar skin is available through Mythic Crafting
Birdio Skin for Galio in League of Legends
The new Galio skin puts the champion in a chicken costume, which apparently can also throw chicken legs. At least it is equipped with a bucket full of them.
The new skin renews the following properties for Galio
- Model and textures
- Visual effects of all spells
- Sound effects of all spells
- Recall, dance and death animations
- Price? The Galio skin is currently available for 975 RP on the test servers
Pizza Delivery Skin for Sivir in League of Legends
Did someone order a salami pizza? In the future, Sivir might get one more way to (Attention, here it comes!) feed!
The new skin renews the following properties for Sivir
- Model and textures
- Visual effects of all spells
- Sound effects of all spells
- Recall, dance and death animations
- Price? The Sivir skin is currently available for 1350 RP on the test servers
- In addition to the normal skin, there are also chromas that change her outfit and (of course) the toppings of the pizzas.
Pizza Chicken Ward
To properly honor two of the new skins, a ward cannot be missing. Riot presents the Pizza Chicken Ward.
Keep in mind that the displayed skins are still in progress and are not yet finished. Prices may also change before release on the live servers. Is one of the new skins to your taste? Which one do you like best?

The hardest-working players wear rainbow in Monster Hunter World
In addition to hunting monsters in Monster Hunter World, there are several tasks and optional quests to complete. These often bring special rewards, such as the rainbow color. However, unlocking this color is a bit of a mammoth task. Read about it in our Rainbow Pigment Guide to Monster Hunter World.
In Monster Hunter World, there are plenty of weapons and armor made from parts of hunted and captured monsters. These can be individually colored starting from a certain hunter rank.
A special coloration is represented by the rainbow pigment, which allows your armor to shine in all colors of the rainbow alternately.
However, unlocking this special color is no piece of cake and takes quite some time. The prerequisites are meant for engaged players who want more than just to complete the main story.
To unlock the rainbow pigment, you must complete all optional quests
The optional quests are divided into low rank and high rank. The low rank includes star levels 1 to 5. From star level 6 to 9, you are in the high rank quests, which are significantly more challenging but also promise better loot.
We have already compiled a complete list of all optional quests in Monster Hunter World for you.
However, it is worth completing the optional quests, as they often bring special rewards as well. With them, you can unlock more ingredients for the canteen or receive practical gadgets for your Palico.
Additionally, you need to have captured certain monsters once to receive the arena quests. The arena quests are part of the optional quests and are therefore necessary to obtain the rainbow pigment. For the high-rank quests, you should have caught the following monsters at least once:
- Pukei-Pukei
- Tobi-Kadachi
- Barroth
- Anjanath
- Rathian
- Pink Rathian
- Rathalos
- Azure Rathalos
- Paolumu
- Legiana
- Radobaan
- Uragaan
- Odogaron
- Diablos
- Black Diablos
The quest “The White Winds of the New World” unlocks the rainbow pigment
Once you have completed all these tasks, you should receive the special arena quest “The White Winds of the New World” with star level 9. This requires you to face Legiana, Dodogaron, Diablos, and a Rathalos in a tight 25 minutes.
If you have successfully completed these quests as well, you will receive the commission armor and can proudly show off your well-deserved rainbow color.
You have chosen the strongest monsters in Monster Hunter World

Update 3.2.1 for Fortnite makes the 20s mode stormier – Patch Notes
Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4 & Xbox One) receives a small patch V.3.2.1. It includes a few minor adjustments and bug fixes. It’s mainly about the storm and farms. And it doesn’t even require a server maintenance!
Fortnite: Battle Royale recently received a major patch 3.2. It included a new weapon and a crazy game mode called “20s Teams“. Additionally, there were a few new skins that were found in the game’s code and will likely go online soon.
However, there is still room for improvement, as the developers plan to upload patch V.3.2.1 to the servers today, March 9th, at some point.
No server maintenance for the new update
But what does the downtime mean for you Fortnite fans? Do you have to endure hours in front of blank screens until the servers are back online? Not at all, as V.3.2.1 comes without server maintenance. The changes are small enough to be implemented as a hotfix during ongoing operations.
Patch notes for Fortnite 3.2.1
But what does the new patch do? Here are the patch notes for update V.3.2.1:
General changes:
- Crashes during texture streaming have been fixed on all platforms
- Details on farms are now rendered from a distance
Changes to the 20s team mode:
The storms in the 20s mode were a problem, so now there are 2 minutes less in the final storm and one minute more in the first two:
- Storm Circle 1: Random location. 120s wait time, 180s shrink time.
- Storm Circle 2: Random location. 120s wait time, 90s shrink time.
- Storm Circle 3: Location centered on the previous storm (for the rest of the round). 120s wait time, 90s shrink time.

Pokémon GO Update 0.93.4 is coming and fixes timezone errors again
The new Pokémon GO update 0.93.4 is now on its way to you. After the predecessor caused problems, these should now be resolved.
Trainers, Pokémon GO is now being updated to version 0.93.4. A few days ago, some of you received access to the new version 0.93.3, which brought with it a significant bug in the time zone setting. This caused incorrect times to be displayed on EX Raid invitations.
The time issue has reportedly been fixed in the new update.
Pokémon GO time zone back to correct
After some trainers downloaded the last update 0.93.3, they noticed problems with the time zone. It was displayed in UTC format on every device, instead of local time. This would be an hour difference compared to German time, as we calculate with UTC+1.
Fortunately, the error was noticed and now fixed, so the new version 0.93.4 displays the correct time again. To ensure that the correct times are displayed to you, you should urgently update to the new version if you have already installed 0.93.3.
The changed time zone also caused incorrect times to be displayed on EX Raids. So be sure to check your invitations after updating to version 0.93.4 for when the next EX Raid takes place.
Changes from 0.93.3 reverted
We already reported on the many code changes that came with the Pokémon GO update 0.93.3. However, a lot has also changed with the new update. Many of the changes have been reverted.
It is unclear whether these changes had already served their purpose and are no longer needed, or why this decision was made.
Niantic decided to keep the changes to GO+, despawn, the map, and Unity. You can see what changed in our summary of Update 0.93.3.
The rollout for the new update has already started and is gradually making the update available for different regions. Due to the success of Team Rayquaza, the following bonuses are currently available in Pokémon GO.

MMORPG Phantasy Star Online 2 is coming to the Switch, but …
The MMORPG Phantasy Star Online 2 can be seen as a bad joke in Europe and the USA, as the game, despite being a great success in Asia, simply does not come to our market. Now the release date for the Nintendo Switch version has been announced, and it will only be released in Japan.
On April 4, Phantasy Star Online 2 (PSO 2) will be released for the Switch, and we in Europe will once again be left empty-handed. Fans have repeatedly requested to be able to play the MMORPG here, but Sega apparently has no interest in that.
This could have been the first MMORPG on the Switch in the “West“. Many Switch owners wish for an MMO to experience adventures on the go. At least in Japan, this wish will be fulfilled in April.
Zelda in Phantasy Star Online
PSO 2 for the Switch offers some special features:
- The subtitle of the game is “Cloud”
- Equipment from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is included
- Wear the clothes of hero Link
- Use the Hyrule shield
- Fight with the Master Sword
No version for Europe in sight
Phantasy Star Online 2 was released for PC in 2012, followed by the PS Vita version in 2013, and a mobile version a year later. In April 2016, the MMORPG was even released for Playstation 4. All of these versions, however, were not released in Europe or the USA. PSO 2 is based on a long-standing role-playing game series that started in 1987 on the Sega Master System console.
Apparently, there is no hope for a release of the MMORPG PSO 2 in Europe and the USA.
Update 9.6. 2019: Surprisingly, it was announced at E3 2019 that the MMORPG Phantasy Star Online 2 is coming to Xbox One.

Free2Play MMORPG introduces subscription: Prime server on Rift is now live
If you want to experience the MMORPG Rift as a subscription MMORPG of the old school, then the Prime server is now available to you, which has a classic subscription model. However, this won’t last forever.
Many fans of Rift have repeatedly asked Trion Worlds if there could be a subscription server again. This wish has now been fulfilled. The Prime server guides you through the game and you will gradually experience the content and expansions from the past seven years as if you were playing a regular subscription MMO.
The Subscription Returns!
The Prime server offers some changes compared to the regular servers:
- The number of items available in the store has been reduced
- You can only buy cosmetic items and a small number of services such as name change scrolls or guild banners
- Veterans and new players will regularly receive content
- The server will run for at least a year
- After the end of the so-called “Progression server operations,” you will transfer your characters to a regular server and retain all progress, items, and gear
- Monthly community challenges that grant you permanent rewards
More Prime Servers Could Follow
The first Prime server of Rift is named Vigil. Apparently, more such servers are planned, which will likely depend on how well this one is received by players. So if you are looking for a subscription experience of the MMORPG Rift, then log in to Vigil. The monthly subscription costs 14.99 dollars.
If you no longer want to be annoyed by loot boxes, then the Prime server of Rift might be just right for you.

This montage showed Trump in the White House regarding “Violence in Games”
The US President Donald Trump summoned representatives from the video game industry to discuss violence in video games. A montage was shown that included images from Call of Duty and Dead by Daylight.
On Thursday, representatives from the video game industry and other stakeholders followed Donald Trump’s invitation to attend a private meeting at the White House. The meeting took place in the aftermath of a violent act in Parkland, Florida, where 17 people died.
The meeting is said to have begun with Trump showing a montage of various violent clips from video games..
The clip includes images from Call of Duty, Dead by Daylight, Sniper Elite 4, and The Evil Within.
During the clip, Trump is said to have asked: “That’s violent, right?”
What exactly was discussed at the conference is not known. Individual participants have since publicized their statements or demands or reported details of the meeting.
The meeting was respectful but controversial
The atmosphere of the meeting was said to be respectful but controversial. Trump was reported to have appeared open and willing to listen in all directions.
A representative from the “Parents Television Council” stated that the media have a corrosive effect on culture.
A representative from the “Media Research Council” called for much stronger regulation for video games, similar to that for alcohol or tobacco.
Representatives from the video game industry association ESA stated: “We discussed various studies showing that there is no connection between video games and violence.” The video game industry cites the First Amendment, which protects free speech. The gaming industry also has a rating system that helps parents make an informed decision about which entertainment is appropriate for their children.
High-ranking executives from Take-Two (GTA) and Zenimax (Fallout) are said to have participated in the meeting.
How things will proceed after the meeting is not known. Previously, it was stated from the White House that this was only the first of many meetings on the topic. The Washington Post reports that representatives from the film industry and large tech companies expect to be invited to the White House.

PUBG Xbox One: Finally the Miramar map is coming, roadmap for spring
The PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) roadmap for Xbox One sounds promising. There are plans for performance improvements, a better UI, and the release of the Miramar map that players on Xbox One have been waiting so long for.
With the release of the roadmap for PUBG on Xbox One, console players have reasons to be excited again. Soon, several changes are expected in the game: The UI will become more intuitive, and soon you will be able to shoot through vehicles at players more easily.
And very importantly: The Miramar map is coming!
Better Performance in PUBG on Xbox One
The developers have now presented the spring roadmap for PUBG on Xbox One and explained that they aim to significantly improve the gameplay experience. Patches are coming now at intervals of 2-3 weeks so that they can be thoroughly tested beforehand.
The developers are not satisfied with PUBG’s performance on Xbox, similar to many players. Especially in action-packed situations, the experience is disappointing. By adjusting the building graphics on Erangel, they have already managed to increase the frame rate. As long as the developers are not completely satisfied with the performance, optimizing the performance remains the highest priority.
In the following technical areas, the developers made changes:
- Optimization of game characters and their movements
- Optimization of the number of particle effects appearing with vehicles and grenades
- Improved object collision
- Improved distribution of CPU load across all cores to reduce issues during movements
Interface, Inventory, and Matchmaking Improvements
The developers want PUBG to stand out in quality compared to other games in your library. To improve quality, HDR and Safe Zone options are being optimized.
There is a lot of feedback from Xbox users regarding game controls, especially regarding inventory. The controls in PUBG are complex. In heated situations, the game needs to be easy to control.
To address this, the developers plan improvements that will allow you to perform desired actions faster. What this means in detail is unclear.
There will also be additional presets and more aiming options for controllers. This will give players more freedom in setting their controls.
To make matches feel “fairer” in the future, matchmaking for duos and squads is being worked on. If you notice unsportsmanlike behavior from opponents, player reports should soon function more easily and quickly.
You’ll be able to shoot better through vehicles soon
For a more realistic gameplay feel, the developers are working on vehicle penetration. Currently, vehicles have almost their own health bar. If this is shot down, the occupants can be harmed.
With an update, vehicles will allow bullets to pass through in certain areas. If players hit the right spots (like doors) on the vehicle, they can directly injure players inside.
With the game highlights feature, you will soon be able to capture and share cool scenes. Additionally, achievements will be unlocked through challenges. Work is also being done on sound and customization of characters.
Test servers for Xbox One and Miramar map are coming
To test upcoming patches before release, Xbox players will receive test servers. Through an additional client that you can download on Xbox One, you will have access to test updates before they go live on the “live servers”.
Does this also include the desert map “Miramar”? It now has a tentative release timeframe. In the roadmap, the developers explain, “Miramar is coming to Xbox in early spring!”
Fans are even working on new maps for PUBG – two have now designed this icy winter map for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds

“Mercy in Overwatch needs 2 guns!” – “Okay”, says Blizzard and delivers
An Overwatch fan is demanding that Mercy should receive two pistols. To everyone’s surprise, Blizzard responded promptly.
At sporting events, it has long been customary to write demands or wishes on posters and hold them up for the cameras as prominently as possible. The Overwatch League is no exception, although the spectators’ wishes there can sometimes be a bit absurd. After previously demanding that Zenyatta should be able to walk, there has been a second wish in recent days:
“Give Mercy 2 pistols!” was written on a poster.
The Overwatch team didn’t take long and responded on Twitter with a tired “K.” and a clip that fulfilled the corresponding wish.
It shows Mercy with two pistols happily shooting her way through the Hollywood map.
Clearly, this is not an actual change, but merely a small plaything for the developers. Mercy has been given two pistols and other movement and shooting patterns. If you look and listen closely, you can hear the shotgun sounds from Reaper and the corresponding animations.
Other community wishes include that Torbjörn should be able to run along walls like Hanzo or Genji and place his turrets on walls and ceilings. This would make the inventive Swede more viable in the eyes of many fans, as he currently is only really useful in “Capture the Flag”.
What do you think about the demands and Blizzard’s responses? Is this all just a funny joke or plain silly? Or does it even create false hope?
