The studio offers to bring Monster Hunter World to Switch after Skyrim

Leya Jankowski 4. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

Capcom itself emphasized that a port of Monster Hunter World for the Switch is too difficult. However, the studio behind the Skyrim port for the Switch sees it differently.

Iron Galaxy Studios specializes in creating ports for other gaming studios. The managing director Adam Boyes made an interesting offer to Capcom on Twitter.

In his tweet, Boyes referred to Capcom’s statement that a port of Monster Hunter World to the Switch is too difficult. Boyes asked Capcom to give his studio a chance to realize the port of Monster Hunter World to the Switch:

“Dear Monster Hunter team at Capcom, we understand that it is a challenge to port a game to the Nintendo Switch. But that is exactly what Iron Galaxy does. Give us a chance and we won’t disappoint you.”

Iron Galaxy developed the port of Skyrim for the Nintendo Switch

Iron Galaxy has been responsible for many ports of well-known titles. They brought Destiny to the PS3 and Xbox 360, the Arkham series to PC, and Skyrim to the Nintendo Switch.

The studio did not earn a good reputation with the port of Batman: Arkham Knight to PC. The game was overwhelmed with so many technical flaws that it prompted a deluge of complaints from players. This port has left a bad memory for many.

However, with Skyrim, Iron Galaxy succeeded in porting the big RPG to the Nintendo Switch. The studio would thus not lack experience.

How likely is it that Capcom will accept this offer?

Monster Hunter World would be perfect for the Nintendo Switch. After all, the hybrid console would also bring the title to handheld, which many fans of the franchise would welcome. Most titles of Monster Hunter were released for handheld consoles and became popular here.

However, it is highly unlikely that anything concrete will come from such an offer on Twitter. The likelihood is greater that Boyes has made a PR stunt here.

Furthermore, Capcom stated at the time in the statement regarding the Switch that “various circumstances” would complicate the port. Behind this statement could be more than just technical reasons. There are rumors that certain deals have been made between Capcom and Sony that would prohibit such a port to the Switch. However, this is purely speculation.

While a port of Monster Hunter World for the Switch seems unlikely in the near future, Fortnite might still receive the Switch port in 2018.

Fortnite: Battle Royale – Boring midgame due to Tilted Towers?

Robert Albrecht 4. March 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

The big map update in Fortnite: Battle Royale was wildly celebrated. New locations were added – including the Mega-City Tilted Towers. Now, critical voices are increasing that the midgame is becoming boring and sluggish. What is the truth behind the criticism?

A round of Fortnite: Battle Royale can roughly be divided into three phases:

The start of a round is used for looting and improving shield reserves. The start is characterized by intense battles for the best loot, depending on the landing point.
The midgame serves to loot individual locations like ruins, gather resources for the endgame, and move into the eye of the storm.
The endgame is the showdown – this is where the big fortresses are built, and explosive ammo is fired until a winner is determined.

Naturally, most players die relatively early in a round. The midgame further thins out the player base, and the endgame is contested by only a few players depending on the game mode.

Thanks to the map update, which has added a number of new, interesting points to the map of Fortnite: Battle Royale, the majority of players are expected to meet their demise even earlier.

This leads to a more boring midgame, as fewer players are spread out over the large map – and encounters become rarer. But is that true? And what does Tilted Towers have to do with it?

With our tips and tricks, you can definitely make it to the endgame of Fortnite: Battle Royale!

Tilted Towers as the root of all evil?

Anyone who has landed in Tilted Towers will have seen it: masses of players darkening the sky like swarms of locusts from the Midwest USA.

In fact, the new Mega-City is more popular than any other landing spot on the map. The reasons for this are manifold:

Many opponents invite you to sharpen your combat skills,
The city is relatively central and thus almost always in the first safe zone,
Loot – tons of loot. Whoever leaves Tilted Towers as the last survivor is likely to be armed to the teeth.
The houses offer good hiding spots and places for traps.

tilted-towers-fortnite-spongebob — This is how it must feel to leave Tilted Towers as a winner

Because of these reasons, more and more players are landing in Tilted Towers, the map with the first safe zone is almost deserted, according to the criticism. But is that really true? Or is the impression misleading the critics?

Not interested in Tilted Towers? With our four loot routes, you have fantastic alternatives ready!

The midgame of Fortnite: Battle Royale – pure boredom?

The numbers are more or less similar from round to round: As soon as the first safe zone is closed in by the storm, up to 70 players have already been unceremoniously sent back to the lobby.

This means that after only six minutes, more than two-thirds of all players are dead. It wasn’t like that before the big map update, was it?

I went through several streams recorded before the big map update. After the end of the first storm phase, there were between 25-35 remaining players, covering the spectrum. Admittedly, the sample size was not gigantic, but after evaluating 20 games, it was certainly representative.

What does this mean now? The player loss at the beginning of a game is probably just an illusion. There can certainly be deviations upward and downward. Ultimately, however, the choice of landing spot does not have significant impacts.

Because loot is fought over in every city, therefore opponents eliminate each other all over the map, whether they land in Tilted Towers or Retail Row.

How do you feel about this? Do you also think that too many people die too quickly?

Pokémon GO: Confusion about 3rd Community Day – 3x Stardust or XP?

Patrick Freese 4. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

This March, the 3rd Community Day in Pokémon GO is coming up. However, the rewards are contradictory.

On March 25th, it’s that time again: the next Community Day in Pokémon GO is coming. On this day, it is especially worthwhile to go outside, because during this event, Bulbasaur will appear more frequently in the wild. These monsters or their evolutions will know a special move.

To make the event even more worthwhile, the developers are providing bonuses. This includes extended Lure Modules. The additional reward for March was originally already set, but is now being hotly debated.

Community Day Event with 3x Stardust or XP?

Niantic announces a Community Day in Pokémon GO through various means. First, the Community Day webpage is updated. There, the developers show which Pokémon will be special, when the event takes place, and what rewards and bonuses there will be for participants.

Which exclusive event move the special Pokémon will learn will be revealed later.

3rd Community Day in Pokémon GO – All Information

After the announcement on the website, trainers will also be informed via in-game news that a Com-Day is coming up soon. Niantic will also reveal what rewards and bonuses will be available there.

Contradiction between Website and Ingame News

We already reported on February 27th that there will be triple experience points for catching monsters during the 3rd Community Day. That is also stated on the official event website.

Confusion has now erupted following the in-game news about the event. It states “Additionally, you will receive three times the amount of Stardust for all Pokémon you catch during the event period!” – There is no mention of triple experience points.

The community is now uncertain which news to trust. This topic has already been discussed on Reddit. The suspicion is that when writing the in-game news, the rewards from the 2nd Community Day were accidentally left in the text. In the English in-game news, as on the official Community Day website, it mentions 3x XP.

We have inquired with Niantic and will inform you when we have updates.

Far Cry 5 setzt auf Mikrotransaktionen, verzichtet auf Lootboxen

Patrick Freese 4. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

With the microtransactions in Far Cry 5, you should save time or get cosmetic items. Relief for the fans who have had enough of loot box chances.

A part of the gaming community has been looking forward to the new title in the Far Cry series for a long time. Far Cry 5 will be released by Ubisoft later this month, on March 27.

In the game, you must prove yourself as a sheriff against a fanatic cult that wants to take over the town. You can expect features like a coop mode where you and a friend can solve all missions together. Also featuring is the loyal canine “Boomer”.

Anyone concerned that Far Cry 5 supports loot boxes can now breathe a sigh of relief. There won’t be any.

There will be cosmetic items

A spokesperson for Ubisoft confirmed that Far Cry 5 will not have loot boxes or similar systems with “chances” for items related to microtransactions. The game features a Season Pass, but does without the loot crates that are not well received in parts of the community.

However, you can pay for cosmetic changes or “time-savers” in Far Cry 5. During the last demo available at a game event, the in-game shop was offline. Therefore, it is unclear what the items will cost or what they will change in the game.

How does Far Cry 5 play? 1.5 hours of gameplay can be found here

It is likely about skins for weapons or vehicles, as well as different outfits for the characters in the game. Additionally, according to PCGamer, some (possibly even all) cosmetic items will be payable with a currency that can be found in the game. These are silver bars.

As a screenshot shows, silver bars can be found at every outpost and other locations in Hope County.

However, information about the silver bars is scarce. It is unclear whether you can find an unlimited amount of this currency in the game or if the bars are limited. In previous entries in the series, you could reset outposts and loot them again. This would be one way to farm a lot of silver bars. However, there might also be a limitation.

Far Cry 5 will be released on March 27, 2018, for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Unfortunately, it won’t have the coop mode we’re wishing for.

5 signs that you are a true MMO gamer

Cortyn 4. March 2018 Reading time 4 minutes

We show you 5 behavioral patterns that only true gamers exhibit. Do you also “suffer” from these symptoms? Or are you proud of it?

Whoever is reading this article shares a common hobby with us authors and all other users of the site: games and MMOs. It is well known that we gamers can sometimes be a peculiar bunch. Sometimes it’s a disapproving glance from grandparents, sometimes a befuddled head shake from friends whose nerd culture stops at one episode of Game of Thrones per year.

But what behaviors do we gamers actually take from our games? We show you 5 typical behavioral patterns that every gamer knows – guaranteed!

The Thinking in Bars

Life in MMOs (and almost every other game) is dominated by bars that slowly fill up. Be it the casting bar of a spoken spell, the XP bar for the next level-up, or a bar to display a reputation faction to finally snag the rewards for “honored.”

Such bars motivate, and exactly such motivations can be transferred to real life very quickly.

Do you need to go shopping again, but the distance to the supermarket is far and troublesome (definitely more than 500 meters!)? Have you ever caught yourself mentally setting a small percentage indicator?

“When I am at the bank, I have completed 20% of the journey, at the drugstore it’s 50%, and in front of the post office, it’s 80%…

You’ve never done that? Well, next time you go shopping, you will surely think of it.

Leetspeak and MMOspeak in Real Life

Those who spend a lot of time in MMOs also spend a long time dealing with the language. After all, there is a special term for almost every concept in an MMO. Instead of a “common enemy,” you fight against trash mobs, and a heroic campaign against a big enemy is simply a raid. No wonder, then, that one integrates the language into everyday life piece by piece.

Do you sometimes let an “lol” slip out?
Or have you ever told your roommate to bring back “a stack of toast” while shopping? Or were you curious about what loot he brought from the Chinese restaurant? If so, then it’s pretty clear that you spend a lot of time in MMOs.

The “Victory Jingle”

Particularly in Japanese RPGs, various soundtracks are an integral part of the combat system. Almost all JRPGs have in common that there is a victory fanfare that plays at the end of the battle. Particularly the victory music from the “Final Fantasy” series has burned itself into the collective memory of gamers. If for some inexplicable reason you don’t have the earworm at hand, you can listen to it here again:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtn44NPxrgQ

Did you get a grade 1 on a difficult exam?
Did you change the defective light bulb in the bedroom?
Did you finally tell that damned neighbor, who constantly drills on Sundays, your opinion?

If you also hear the victory fanfare ringing in your head afterward, that’s another indication: you are a true gamer!

Converting Euros in Games

Money is a scarce resource for most gamers, and it needs to be allocated wisely. While some people from the last millennium still like to convert to DM (“A full-price game costs 120 marks! Scandal!”), long-time gamers tend to find other conversion methods.

One thinks twice about whether to go out partying in the evening and spend 20-30 euros on a few beers and drinks, or if to indulge in a new game on Steam the next day.

Sparked the debate: Lootboxes in Battlefront 2 — Loot box or food… a good question!

Should I order something from the Greek tonight for €8? If I pass on it and rather stick with the stack of toast, I could buy a few loot boxes in Overwatch instead…

The Distorted Gamer Honor and Suitable Excuses

Anyone who calls themselves a gamer quickly develops a sense of honor associated with it. After all, you invest a lot of time in the hobby and don’t like to be seen as an amateur, right? That quickly leads to making suitable excuses (especially in PvP games) when things aren’t going as they should.

Dead by Daylight Killer — The killer got me? That was obviously lag!

From this arise the three golden rules with which you can win any discussion and eliminate all self-doubt:

If you are worse than me, then you are a noob.
If you are better than me, then you have no real life.
If everyone is better than me, then I have lag.

Also commonly heard in voice chat are other excuses that shift responsibility. “Ahh, my keyboard is steering left” and “Stupid mouse, respond!” and “I pressed the spacebar!”.

Have you ever caught yourself using these excuses?

Do you also “suffer” from these symptoms? Or are you too proud to admit the truth? What traits show you that you are a true gamer? Let us know in the comments!

Destiny 2: All badge variants of the Nightfalls and how to obtain them

Tom Rothstein 4. March 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2, we present all badge variants of the Nightfall strikes. What do they look like and how can you get them?

With update 1.1.3, not only was Nightfall scoring introduced, numerous new badges were also added to the game. Each Nightfall strike has been given a new emblem that Guardians can now collect and will be able to collect in the coming weeks.

The Nightfall badges have unique designs and track your high score for the respective Nightfall strike. They also display the score target you need to reach to unlock the Nightfall aura.

Moreover, the Nightfall badges have another special feature: Each has three additional “badge variants” that allow you to slightly customize their appearance.

All Nightfall badge variants at a glance

Each strike that can be a Nightfall strike (so every strike except the PS4 exclusive strike) has a standard emblem and three variants.

The Pyramidion:

The Twisted Column:

Exodus Crash:

The Arms Dealer:

Savathun’s Song:

A Garden World:

Tree of Probabilities:

How to get the Nightfall badges and their variants?

You receive the standard badge by successfully completing the corresponding Nightfall for the first time.

Subsequently, you need to repeat the Nightfall strike multiple times, score as many points as possible, and hope that the variants drop for you. There is no guaranteed way to obtain the badge variants.

The higher your score at the end of a Nightfall, the higher your chance of receiving a badge variant. The chance varies between 0% and 50%, depending on your points. The point thresholds that increase the chances are at 20k, 40k, 60k, and 80k. Bungie does not provide further information on this.

These threshold values are not set in stone; they may vary in the future.

An update full of badges

In addition to the Nightfall badges, several other emblems were introduced with update 1.1.3.

This Crucible badge called “Victorious Veteran” counts your total PvP kills as well as kills sorted by Guardian class and also comes with several variants. If you do not own it yet, you can purchase it from Lord Shaxx once you have opened 10 engrams with him:

For each world, there are new Destination Badges that track found Lost Sectors, opened region chests, and discovered Ghost scans. If you do not yet have the badges (they drop randomly from chests), you can buy them from the respective destination vendors. Each world has its own emblem color, and each badge has several variants:

Additionally, further badges have been discovered in the databases that will be available as paid codes, such as

In the Steampunk MMO Darco, you have a dragon, fighting for survival

Guddy Hoffmann-Schoenborn 4. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

With a mix of Ark: Survival Evolved, Bioshock, and Horizon: Zero Dawn, a developer studio from Dresden aims to shake up the survival MMO market. We introduce you to the Kickstarter game Darco – Reign of Elementes

In Darco, you must survive in a world populated by nasty machines and dragons. The project can currently be supported via Kickstarter.

A teaser video sets the stage for what Darco is supposed to offer.

What’s it about?

Thanks to the steam engine, it was once possible to develop some wonderful constructs: flying fortresses, mechanical beings, and technological innovations that protected humanity from natural disasters. But the protection ends when dragons appear and turn life into hell for humans.

Soon machines were developed to deal with the scaled threat, but it was of little use. Now, only sparse remnants of civilization remain. The player takes on the role of one of the last survivors.

In the dystopian world, it is not only dragons that you must fight against, but also the environment itself. Although you encounter machines that were actually supposed to help you survive. The problem is, due to technical errors, these cannot distinguish friend from foe …

At least: You find an ally in someone you might not have expected. A loyal dragon who fortunately does not want to leave your side.

What are the key elements?

In addition to exploring the open world, which features an interesting symbiosis of steampunk and jungle romance, you can improve your skills, gather resources, and build a base. You are not only hindered by opponents in the form of mechanical animals or other players, but also by hunger and thirst.

At the heart are the dragons. The companion you receive can be trained and later you can ride on it and even fly. Additionally, you will be able to acquire more dragon companions as the game progresses. They are divided as follows:

Dragon (Quadruped)
Wyvern (Biped)
- Element – Fire
- Element – Earth
- Element – Water
- Element – Air

When will Darco launch?

In May, the early access phase will start, during which extensive testing will take place. The survival game is set to be finally released in the 4th quarter of 2019. The Kickstarter campaign is still running until the end of March, where you can support the developers.

For more information, you can find it on the official Facebook page and on the official website. Are you interested in the title and will you keep an eye on it?

SF-MMO Dual Universe setzt voll auf Community, geht neue Wege

Andreas Bertits 4. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

The work on the space MMO Dual Universe is progressing well. It is important for the developers to consider player feedback, which is why they came up with something special: Through a Trello board, they want to guarantee transparency and give players insights into the planning and organization.

Currently, there are ongoing pre-alpha testing phases of the space MMO Dual Universe. In these phases, the developers showcase their progress and gather feedback from testers.

This feedback is collected in a special way using a Trello board. Trello is a kind of organizational board for teams that is used for coordination and internal exchange.

This board of Dual Universe is accessible to everyone, so that anyone can see at a glance what feedback has been given and what the developers are considering.

Player feedback on Dual Universe can be viewed by anyone

The Trello board is divided into different areas to maintain clarity:

Feedback from players that should be considered for the alpha
Feedback from players that should be considered for the beta
Feedback from players that should be considered for the release
Player feedback that is being reviewed, but for which there is no date yet
Feedback that has already been implemented
Feedback that has been rejected

You can find the Trello board of Dual Universe here.

Furthermore, the developers are working hard to improve and optimize the game. For example, the scripting, with which you can create functioning objects in the game. The developers have released a video showing how scripting works in the game.

The work is progressing well, but the beta is still awaited

In addition, work is currently underway on new 3D models and the graphics of the Star Citizen competitor Dual Universe.

The staff are currently busy converting the artworks into 3D models. Additionally, a feature has been integrated that allows you to create blueprints from existing objects, making it easy to rebuild things.

Even if the work on the game is progressing well, the developers still have a lot ahead of them. A beta is likely to start only towards the end of the year.

If the team can implement Dual Universe as planned, we could expect a fantastic space MMO.

6 promising online games in March 2018 that we recommend

Jürgen Horn 4. March 2018 Reading time 6 minutes

In March 2018, a few new online games are finally coming to market that could be worth your while. Old games are also tempting with new content. See here what the start of spring has to offer for online gamers!

March is here, and soon new greenery will spread across the once ice- and snow-covered forests and meadows. But it’s not just in nature that it’s time for new growth. MMOs and online games are being released this month. And some well-known games are receiving a big update and are now more enjoyable than ever.

Far Cry 5 – Fight the Cult with a Dog!

On March 27th, Far Cry 5 will finally be available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. This time, it’s not set in the tropics, prehistoric times, or the Himalayas, but in Montana, USA. In the fictional “Hope County,” a mad preacher has taken control with his cult, and you must stop him.

Resistance Against the Hate Preachers

In Far Cry 5, you will play without a pre-made character for the first time. Instead, you will create your character in an editor before the game begins. You are the last surviving lawman tasked with apprehending the deranged preacher Joseph Seed.

Since the cult largely controls the area, you must call upon the population to resist. To do this, you will recruit various NPC allies, including an adorable dog that you definitely should take with you!

To combat the cult, you will raid enemy outposts with your allies in the open world of Hope County and gradually dismantle their infrastructure.

These editions of Far Cry 5 are available for pre-order

But be careful! The more you attack the cult, the more the insane fanatics will strike back, and the game will become harder.

Alone or in Coop

Far Cry 5 can be played alone. But it’s much cooler if you invite a friend into the Coop mode and go cult hunting together. The entire campaign of Far Cry 5 can be played in Coop.

5 Reasons why the co-op experiment A Way Out will succeed

Sven Galitzki 4. March 2018 Reading time 4 minutes

March 2018 holds some promising new releases for multiplayer fans. Among the most exciting titles is “A Way Out” – an action-adventure that breaks new ground in co-op multiplayer and storytelling.

On March 23, A Way Out will be released for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. It is a story-driven co-op action-adventure played from a third-person perspective.

The special thing about this game is: A Way Out is developed entirely as a cooperative split-screen experience – there is no single-player mode. A second player is mandatory. You can play either in “couch co-op” mode on the same screen or over an online connection.

Players take control of Leo and Vincent – two convicted prison inmates who must escape from prison and embark on a cinematographically staged flight from the law enforcement.

Here are 5 reasons why we believe this co-op experiment by Hazellight Studios will break like a bomb.

Co-op at the Highest Level

In terms of gameplay, A Way Out is unique thus far – it’s hard to compare it to other games. However, it offers everything that makes co-op hearts beat faster.

You must continuously communicate with your partner, search for new solutions together, make plans, and constantly adapt them to new developments, try different strategies, and make serious joint decisions that significantly influence the course of your adventure.

Diverse Gameplay

The gameplay of A Way Out looks varied and has different mechanics in store. There are stealth elements including sneaking passages. Certain situations should be dealt with using your eloquence. And action-packed situations are not neglected: there will be shooting, fighting with fists and improvised weapons, running, swimming, jumping, and climbing.

Players will be repeatedly faced with decisions that have consequences for the gameplay. There is no fixed role distribution. Dialogue options exist for both protagonists. Both are free in their actions and there are always multiple ways to master a situation.

Innovative Storytelling

The story of the two protagonists Leo and Vincent is told simultaneously but often asymmetrically and is nearly cinematic in its staging.

This means that for example, one player actively controls their character in the game while the other is currently watching a cutscene in which they still experience the active player’s actions live.

The same applies in reverse – the active player sees their partner involved in a cutscene along with their actions and reactions. The transitions are fluid.

This style of storytelling greatly contributes to immersion. An intense experience of each situation is always the focus

Unique Couch Experience with Split-Screen

An exciting story with emotional highlights and twists, a serious background, a realistic setting, a cinematic narrative style, well-drawn distinctive characters with flaws, relatable problems – all of this generates a lot of discussion and debate, much like a good film, and should be particularly appealing to a more mature audience.

The split-screen feature, which is unfortunately rarely found in games anymore, will add an extra incentive to the whole experience. Because it allows you to enjoy the gaming experience with your best friend or partner comfortably from the couch, something many adults long for. Thus, the shared experience of the story is made even more intense.

Only One Copy of the Game Needed

To play, you only need one copy of A Way Out. The owner can invite friends into their game without them having to purchase their own version of the game. This works not only on the couch but also online without any issues.

This saves you the money for a game while still providing a full co-op experience for 2 players that can be enjoyed together without restrictions.

Sea of Thieves is playable again – Here’s how you can join the beta

Patrick Freese 4. March 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

Next weekend, you can set sail again in Sea of Thieves. A new beta is already on the horizon.

On Friday, the next testing round of Sea of Thieves kicks off, inviting you to hoist the sails. Whether alone or with friends, there are islands and treasure chests to discover in the coming days.

Scale Test in March – Beta Participation

Apparently, the developers at Rare have taken a liking to the scale tests. This is already the third consecutive weekend that Sea of Thieves can be played in the so-called scale test. During this time, servers are intentionally strained, and the developers collect important server data for the future.

You can participate and test the game as a beta.

The third stress test of Sea of Thieves starts on Friday, March 2nd, at 11:00 AM. You can participate until Sunday, March 4th, at 11:00 AM German time.

The goal of this testing phase is to test the latest work of the developers. The team hopes to set a new record for concurrent players.

How do you participate in the beta? Participation is quite simple; practically anyone can join. Any Xbox Insider, pre-order customer, or participant of the closed beta can take part in the scale test. Those who are not yet insiders can easily register in the Insider Hub on Windows 10 or Xbox One. You can find the Hub in the respective Store.

If you have downloaded the Insider Hub, you can search for Sea of Thieves there and register for the scale test. (The test may still be listed in the Store as “Sea of Thieves – Closed Beta”.

You can find the official installation instructions for Sea of Thieves here

You can expect issues like server downs

Such stress tests are conducted by the developers to test the servers under special conditions. So expect no significant content changes compared to previous scale tests. Some features that will be available later in the released game are not yet accessible now.

While you play, the servers may go offline, leading to queues or login issues.

There was NO Wipe!

The special thing about this scale test is that your progress has been saved, and you do not start over. Players noticed this negatively in the last test.

In the third scale test, you have access to gold and items from the last test weekend. The team has now confirmed this on Twitter.

In Sea of Thieves, you experience funny and exciting adventures in the life of a pirate. The game offers crossplay between PC and console, allowing you to form a crew with up to three other friends.

With your crew, you embark on adventures, search for hidden treasure chests, and fight nasty foes who defend the treasures. When you encounter ships from other players, it’s time to man the cannons. What says “get lost!” more clearly than round, flying 400-kilo projectiles?

If you do not encounter other players on your travels, you still have tasks. Because someone must take the helm to keep you on course. The course is given by a player assigned to navigation. The others lookout for foes and set the sails to catch the wind.

When you finally recover a treasure, you can exchange it for gold rewards on the starting island. For this, you can then buy new weapons and outfits.

In our beginner’s guide to Sea of Thieves, we show you how to earn your first gold.

How to get the cards from the Ratings Refresh in Ultimate Team

Once the winter upgrade cards are released, they can be pulled in sets. The only requirement is that the set may contain players. The “old” cards of the respective players will no longer be available in sets from this moment on.

If you already own a card of a player who is being upgraded, that card remains unchanged. It will not be updated automatically. If you want the card of the player with improved attributes, you must pull it from a set. It is also possible to purchase winter upgrade cards from other gamers on the transfer market.

The behavior of the Inform cards in the Ratings Refresh is somewhat complicated. You can find out more in our overview of the Ratings Refresh in FUT 18. There we list all previous Ratings Refresh cards.

Destiny 2: Did a new clue about the 2nd DLC come with the last update?

Sven Galitzki 3. March 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

Official information regarding the second DLC for Destiny 2 is still scarce. Only a few details are known so far. With the current update 1.1.3, another hint regarding DLC II may have come to light.

Very little is known about the second DLC for Bungie’s latest title. So far, only May 2018 is officially established as the release timeframe.

The story could revolve around a Warmind and a woman named Ana Bray – this can be inferred from the official DLC graphic (see title image). According to leaks, the expansion could also be called “Gods of Mars” and take Guardians to Mars, although this has not been confirmed by Bungie.

With the February update 1.1.3, a lot of fresh content has now entered the databases of Destiny 2 – including possibly a new hint for the second DLC.

Does an emblem provide further hints regarding the second DLC?

As part of the February update, among other things, a number of new emblems were introduced to the game. In the databases, another badge was found, which is currently not in the game and is causing great speculation: because it could be a hint regarding the second DLC.

What is the significance of this emblem?

When examining the graphic for this emblem, the symbol of a Warmind clearly stands out. This is quite interesting, as in the upcoming second DLC, the story is said to revolve around a Warmind. This is also supported by the DLC image teased by Bungie featuring a woman and a Warmind bunker. Thus, this emblem reinforces the previous hints regarding possible DLC content.

Besides the Warmind symbol, the emblem also features the word “Carrhae”. If one goes back a bit and dives deeper into the lore of Destiny 1, one will find that the designation Carrhae is also closely related to a Warmind.

Carrhae is the name of an emergency protocol that the Warmind Rasputin known from Destiny 1 can initiate to take over the entire defense of the solar system in case of danger. There are a total of 3 Carrhae protocols:

Carrhae: an emergency that Rasputin can declare to take over the entire defense of the solar system.
Carrhae Black: a non-specified emergency that Rasputin can impose.
Carrhae White: an emergency that Rasputin can declare when the solar system is threatened by an external enemy.

Considering that Destiny 2 ended with a scene where a dark power was awakened by the Light of the Traveler and is evidently on its way to Earth, these protocols could hold special significance in a potential story expansion.

How can you obtain the mysterious emblem?

Immediately after the discovery of this emblem graphic, the community began to speculate on how this emblem could be obtained.

Since Chris Barret from Bungie recently announced that they want to incorporate more secrets into the game – similar to what was the case in Destiny 1 – speculations arose whether the emblem could possibly be available through an event leading to the story of the second DLC or perhaps simply through the purchase of the upcoming expansion.

Notably, this emblem was the only new badge with common quality. All other new emblems in the databases are legendary. Common emblems are usually obtained only through codes from promotional actions or through other activities outside the actual game, such as participating in the beta, achievements in Destiny 1, or for the Video of the Week.

Recently, Guardians then made a find that put an end to the speculations. The emblem will be available as a included download code for a merchandising item (link to the product) in the form of a Destiny ghost, which will be available at the end of March 2018.

Thus, this emblem is not a hint for an upcoming in-game event.

What do you think about this matter? Is it another hint regarding the second DLC, or is it all hot air?

Kingdom under Fire 2: Huge MMO for PC/PS4 gone missing again

Schuhmann 3. March 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

It is like cursed. Kingdom under Fire 2 is an insanely expensive MMO that was supposed to be released for PC and PS4 in 2018. But it seems to have disappeared again. Meanwhile, KuF2 was supposed to celebrate its release in Europe and North America right now.

Kingdom under Fire 2 is a siege MMO with a turbulent past. The original series “Kingdom under Fire” has earned a good reputation on Xbox consoles. However, there is an epic back-and-forth regarding the new game. KuF2 has been announced multiple times, but it has never really landed here in the West.

Among fans of Asian MMOs, there is now a joke:

“Where will Kingdom under Fire 2 be released?”
“On PS4 and PC?”
“No, at game conferences.”

Kingdom under Fire 2 thrilled AngryJoe in 2014

You just lose sight of the game again and again.

Kingdom under Fire 2 was already announced for PS3 and Xbox 360 in 2009, then it disappeared for ages. Later, a PC version ran in Southeast Asia. Suddenly, the developers beat the drum and presented Kingdom under Fire 2 at E3 2014 with big ambitions. The presentation thrilled, among others, YouTuber AngryJoe, who showcased it as his top game of E3 2014.

When it reappeared, the siege MMO had cost 78 million US dollars in development, making Kingdom under Fire II the most expensive Korean MMO of all time.

The great triumph of Kingdom under Fire 2 was supposed to begin in 2017/2018

In February 2017, developer Blueside released joyful signals. They were finally gearing up for the attack: Kingdom under Fire 2 was supposed to be released for PC in China and Russia.

Then they planned a launch for PC and PS4 in North America and Europe for the end of 2017/start of 2018.

Southeast Asia version discontinued without a sound

In April 2017, the operator of the Southeast Asia version of KuF2 announced: We are discontinuing Kingdom under Fire 2 for a number of “unforeseen reasons.”

Since then, nothing has been heard about a launch of Kingdom under Fire 2 in Europe or North America. Since February 2017, there has been no news from Blueside about Kingdom under Fire 2 that has somehow reached the West.

Currently, a closed beta of Kingdom under Fire 2 is running in Russia. Originally, according to the initial plans, it was supposed to transition to an open beta six months ago.

The latest news from Korea points in a different direction. Apparently, developer Blueside has now developed ambitions in India and the Middle East. They plan to distribute Kingdom under Fire 2 there. A mobile version is also reportedly in development.

Whether Kingdom under Fire 2 will ever be released in North America and Europe for PS4 and PC is currently again up in the air. Until the next big announcement, presumably at a game fair, Kingdom under Fire 2 can once again be considered lost.

New MMORPG Lost Ark eagerly awaited: Open Beta in 2018?

Schuhmann 3. March 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

Smilegate is also currently looking for professional game testers for their quality assurance, presumably to test new game content.

A downside for us in the West: Even if Lost Ark truly picks up this pace in 2018 and appears in South Korea, it doesn’t mean that we in the West will get our hands on it. A western port has not yet been confirmed.

More about Lost Ark and why the game has so many fans:

How Project TL and Lost Ark want to save the PC MMORPG

In Lost Ark, a soft launch is subtly indicated for 2018. But before that, a closed beta must take place.

Lost Ark might be the MMORPG that fans worldwide are looking forward to the most. A modern MMORPG in the isometric perspective of Diablo 3 with a destructible environment and fresh ideas. MMORPG fans are salivating.

Lost Ark has already held two closed betas in South Korea: the last one in September 2017.

But the depressing and unusual thing for us in the West is that between these beta phases, the MMORPG goes dark. In other words, nothing is known about the plans and not much is heard. What seems to us in the West like the worst has happened and Lost Ark has suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth is perfectly normal for Asian games.

After the 3rd Closed Beta, things often move quickly

In the West, games are developed in such a way that a closed beta takes place immediately before the release – in Asia, development is done differently.

The development cycle of Lost Ark includes 3 closed beta phases. Two have already been held. So, another closed beta is next.

After that, the game is supposed to be rebalanced. The significant development has already been completed with the start of the 3rd closed beta.

Finally, a final test follows, followed by an “open beta.” The “open beta” is essentially the release.

Lost-ARk-Development — Source: Lostarkdatabase

It is known from other Asian games that after the 3rd closed beta, things often proceed quickly. After the last closed beta, we are not talking about years anymore, but only about months.

Then the game is actually already finished and on the home stretch to open beta and soft launch. Once an Asian MMORPG is in open beta, there are no resets anymore; the game is essentially released.

A few months after the open beta, when more features are in the game, the developer says: “Okay, now it’s release.”

What is the status now? Is Lost Ark already in open beta in 2018?

It could actually go faster for Lost Ark than expected. According to a PR message in Korea discovered by fans, Smilegate plans the open beta for 2018.

Before that, the 3rd closed beta and the final test must be squeezed in. However, a precise schedule has not yet been published. Everything is still tentative.

Smilegate is also currently looking for professional game testers for their quality assurance, presumably to test new game content.

Forsen wins celebrity tournament in PUBG, bores the audience

Patrick Freese 3. March 2018 Reading time 3 minutes

If tournament rules favor passive play, then the entertainment factor of a PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) match declines significantly. In a celebrity tournament, a team led by streamer Forsen emerged against tough competition. However, with a rather dull playing style.

Viewers quickly notice when teams in tournaments do not play to win but play not to lose. This is reflected in the tactics. Teams that do not want to lose avoid fights and take no risks.

In PUBG, this means: camping and playing as passively as possible.
For viewers, this means: boredom.

Celebrities in the tournament do not distract from the rules

The rules for PUBG tournaments are designed so that passive players have a good chance of winning the tournament. As was shown in the recent PUBG tournament, this is a disadvantage for viewers who want to see action.

For the overall score in past tournaments, it was counted how a team performed in various matches. This means that a team doesn’t necessarily have to achieve a Chicken Dinner (first place in a match) to collect points.

Some teams decided to play particularly carefully and passively, hiding for a long time and not drawing attention to themselves. If there was a chance to gather points by doing so, they played quietly and didn’t make any kills. This is what happened at the Twitch Rivals PUBG Invitational.

There, “celebrities” from the Twitch scene like Dr DisRespect, Shroud, Annemunition, and Forsen played with their teams for a prize pool of $100,000. Water tactics, like those in the following video, were included.

Winners but few kills

Team Speshimen, led by the well-known streamer Forsen, secured first place and played relatively passively. In three of the five matches, they made only two to three kills. They simply tried to survive until most of the other teams had shot each other out and eliminated each other.

With this tactic, they prevailed against teams like Lejund Skwad, led by Shroud. Shroud is known for his outstanding skill in the community. He exhibited an aggressive playstyle and eliminated Dr Disrespect, who is back in the game after his break.

In the end, it didn’t help that Shroud’s team won three matches and led significantly in kills. Forsen’s team performed just enough actions in the game to win in the end (technically). Forsen’s team Speshimen achieved 68 points and won by two points ahead of Team Lejund Skwad led by Shroud. Annemunition’s team finished in third place with 64 points.

However, there was more money for Shroud and Annemunition’s teams, who scored performance bonuses. For example, there was more money if a team made the most kills in a match.

Viewers are annoyed by the boring playstyle

Some viewers are unhappy with the results. Many criticized Forsen’s team and even called them cheaters for exploiting the rules. But Forsen can only laugh about it:

“No one complained about the rules before the final results,” he says in one of his streams after the tournament. “Because their favorites didn’t win, they spammed in the chat that the tournament was manipulated. But why would a company that hates me manipulate a tournament in my favor instead of for Shroud? That doesn’t make any sense.”

With such rules, the esports scene will continue to annoy some fans in the future. And that, even though PUBG with this new employee could have good chances in the esports scene.

Blizzard on Diablo 3 for Nintendo Switch: “We are not that clever!”

Patrick Freese 3. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

Blizzard clarifies the tweet that many believed was a hint that Blizzard wants to bring Diablo 3 to the Nintendo Switch.

Yesterday, a small hype spread through the Diablo 3 community. With a funny tweet, Blizzard could have announced a D3 version for the Nintendo Switch. But apparently, the community’s thoughts went too far – Blizzard likely didn’t think that far with this announcement.

Smart Blizzard tweet turns out to be not so smart

We might have set the bar too high. Yesterday, on March 2nd, we reported on how clever Blizzard hinted at a Diablo 3 version for the Switch. With a Diablo nightlight that was turned on and off, “Diablo Switch” was connected in English.

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from Twitter that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the Twitter content

The joy in the community was great! Many fans wanted this hint to be true so they could finally play D3 on the Switch. But now the Blizzard team is taking a bit of the wind out of the hopeful gamers’ sails.

In an interview with Polygon, a Blizzard spokesperson stated “We can assure you that we are not that clever. It was just a way to interact with the community. We have nothing to announce.”

Those who do not want to completely bury their hope for a Switch version of Diablo 3 can hold on to the words “We have nothing to announce”. The spokesperson could have also said, “A Switch version for Diablo 3 is not currently planned.”

That said: Blizzard IS clever. There may already be a complete marketing plan for a Switch version of the hack-and-slash, which is why they cannot announce anything “right now.”

Or is Blizzard really that clever?

If there is indeed a creative mind behind this tweet, the responsible individual should be promoted because:

Even though no official announcement followed, Blizzard has now received tons of feedback from fans wishing for a Switch version.
Hidden behind a riddle that was not too obvious, but also not too hidden.
Did they want to test with this tweet how great the interest in a new D3 version for this console would be?

Whether intentional or not. The data they received from potential buyers of a D3 Switch version should interest project managers at Blizzard. We are curious which Blizzard games will make it to the Nintendo Switch in the future.

After two years of cooldown, this Diablo 3 item is finally ready for action

That’s why the new mode in Fortnite: Battle Royale “pure gold”

Robert Albrecht 3. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

A new mode is active in Fortnite: Battle Royale and ensures constantly legendary weapons. Sounds fantastic? It is!

Epic brings variety! At regular intervals, the makers of Fortnite introduce new modes in the battle royale mode. Until Monday, March 5th, you can play the new mode “Pure Gold”. That’s unfortunate, we are inclined to say – because the mode is really fun!

This is how the “Pure Gold” mode works

All weapons you can find on the map are of legendary rarity. All of them. You will only see other colors on traps, grenades, and healing items.

The lack of weapons of other rarities brings a distinctly positive change to Fortnite – there are no shotguns or pump guns. Hunting rifles, revolvers, and standard pistols are also excluded, just like submachine guns.

Instead, you will be overwhelmed with legendary SCAR assault rifles, silenced pistols, and hand cannons. Sniper rifles and heavy weapons are still rare but also legendary and deal significant damage.

“Pure Gold” – when it doesn’t matter where you land

The loot on the ground is also guaranteed to be legendary. In terms of support items, you will find traps and jump pads much more frequently, and the drinking jugs are also abundant.

The big advantage: It doesn’t matter where you land, everything is legendary. You are guaranteed to find a legendary assault rifle or another weapon of the highest rarity.

So you don’t have to focus on big cities but can also score well at the edge of the map.

With our tips and tricks for an epic victory in Fortnite: Battle Royale!

Robert says: The best mode that Epic has brought to the battle royale part of Fortnite so far. How refreshing a break from pump guns and shotguns is only becomes apparent when no one has access to these weapons anymore.

Focusing on the right landing places is also secondary in this game variant. Everywhere shines golden.. Even though the distribution of the weapons could still be improved (mainly assault rifles, pistols, and hand cannons were found) the mode is incredibly fun.

Since this game variant is largely populated by solo players, I even overlook the fact that Epic has once again designed “Pure Gold” for the team mode. However, with so many random players, there are also realistic chances of victory for duos. Give it a try – it’s worth it!

What do you think of the “Pure Gold” mode?

Oh no, the strike scoring in Destiny 2 has a huge problem

Tom Rothstein 3. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2, a severe problem with strike scoring has been discovered, allowing players to farm a lot of points. Bungie will need to respond.

Currently, a new farming method is spreading online, showing how to gain massive points in Nightfall scoring. This method is referred to as “points cheese”.

This is not really a bug or a glitch that tricks any game mechanics. Instead, it reflects a fundamental design flaw by Bungie that has been overlooked and needs to be fixed soon.

What kind of cheese is this?

In the new Nightfall scoring, the goal is to accumulate as many points as possible through kills and generating Orbs of Light. Certain point targets must be reached to unlock the Nightfall aura or to have a higher chance of badge variants.

The cheese simply consists of repeatedly clearing Lost Sectors during the Nightfall strike. While two guardians progress normally through the Nightfall, one guardian can go to a Lost Sector, defeat all enemies there, collect points, leave the sector, and repeat the process.

In the current Nightfall “Tree of Probabilities,” there is a Lost Sector near the entrance of the Everbloom. However, this is not a problem limited to this strike. In other strikes as well, players start in the “Open World,” allowing them to search for a Lost Sector nearby.

Farming Lost Sectors poses another “problem”: The enemies in the sector are not affected by the handicap, but the points they grant upon kill are. Thus, with a high handicap, these enemies provide many points per kill, yet they don’t pose a significant challenge.

Bungie will need to respond

Currently, this problem does not seem to be too severe. The necessary 60,000 points to unlock the aura can also be reasonably earned via “normal” methods. Here are tips on how to easily obtain the 60,000 points.

However, future target values in scoring will adjust to the current high scores among guardians. This means that they will be calculated based on current community scores, which in turn means it may become extremely difficult to reach the necessary target value without the cheese.

Bungie will therefore need to address this problem promptly, as even current high scores are not very informative or comparable, since it is unclear which fireteam used the cheese and which did not.

Guardians thus reiterate the statement, that the new Nightfall was a step forward but also two steps back.

Despite the Classic announcement: Private servers for WoW are booming

Cortyn 3. March 2018 Reading time 2 minutes

Private servers for World of Warcraft are thriving. Blizzard’s Classic announcement has even boosted their boom.

With the announcement of official Classic servers for World of Warcraft, Blizzard has finally fulfilled a long-standing wish of the fans. This also heralded the end for so-called “pirate servers” or private servers. Because if there were soon to be official Classic servers, then wouldn’t private servers soon lose their basis for existence?

Currently, the announcement seems to have the opposite effect. The server Light’s Hope (formerly Elysium or Nostalrius) recently announced that they want to open another server. The competitor Kronos is also planning to launch another realm by the end of the month.

The reason for this seems obvious: Thanks to Blizzard’s “official” statement at BlizzCon 2017, the topic of “Classic” has come back into the focus of many players. Since the developers have not given any timeline for when a Classic server might go live (not even the year has been confirmed), many players are very interested in revisiting classic World of Warcraft.

Now, private server providers are benefiting from this, whom Blizzard actually does not want. In the past, they have repeatedly tried to take legal action against the operators, which is why they often settle in countries where the legal situation is not so clear.

We should not overlook the fact that private servers were already a thing during the times of the “real” Classic – simply because it offered a way to play World of Warcraft at no cost. This is likely another reason for many players to play on a private server.

Are you playing on one of the private servers? Or would you rather patiently wait and play a Classic version approved by Blizzard?

In the “real” WoW, by the way, you can currently farm a lot of honor!
