FIFA 18: New players of the day are in FUT 18 – with Müller and Werner

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In FIFA 18 Ultimate Team there are now new upgraded Player cards, the MOTM (Man of the Match). Here you can find the Players of the Day in summary.

At the end of January, the first MOTM cards in FUT 18 were released. MOTM stands for “Man of the Match,” which in German are referred to as Players of the Day.

As of today, February 24th, the next Players of the Day in FUT 18 have been released. This time, directly 15 players received new cards with improved ratings.

Which players get MOTM cards? These cards are awarded to players who showed strong performances in a match but did not make it into the Team of the Week. Usually, matches from national or international cup competitions are considered. The best players from these matches are determined by EA Sports and rewarded with orange or orange-blue cards.

Here are the new MOTM at the end of February in Ultimate Team

motm

Here are the official MOTM cards:

  • 94 GK David De Gea
  • 90 ST Antoine Griezmann
  • 88 RM Thomas Muller
  • 87 RF Willian
  • 87 ST Ciro Immobile
  • 87 LF Sadio Mane
  • 86 ST Michy Batshuayi
  • 86 ST Timo Werner
  • 86 CM Ilkay Gundogan
  • 85 LM Manuel Fernandes
  • 85 ST Valere Germain
  • 84 RB Branislav Ivanovic
  • 83 CDM Fred
  • 81 ST Will Grigg
  • 73 CM Andy Cannon

From a German perspective, Timo Werner (from 82 to 86), Thomas Müller (from 86 to 88), and Ilkay Gündogan (from 85 to 86) are interesting.

These Players of the Day are only available for a limited time. EA Sports does not specify a timeframe, but we assume that they will be in packs for about a week. This should last until March 2nd – however, this is not confirmed.

More info on the Players of the Day – Release, cards, rating boost

The MOTM cards are upgraded Player cards. The overall ratings are increased by 1-2 points compared to the standard cards (or previous special cards) of the players. In some cases, the rating boost can also be significantly higher, changing even the quality of the player.

The Players of the Day do not have fixed release dates. The first batch was revealed on January 27th, the second batch on February 24th. Most MOTM cards are expected to be released between March and July, as the important cup matches take place during this time.

More info:

  • You can obtain the MOTM cards by pulling them from packs with luck or purchasing them on the transfer market. The chances of pulling a MOTM card are the same as the chances of getting the corresponding player at another time.
  • If you already have a standard card of the player who receives a MOTM card, nothing happens to your card. It remains unchanged.

World Record! First group completes Mythic+28 in WoW within the time limit

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time < 1 minutes

A record has fallen in World of Warcraft again. A dungeon of difficulty “Mythic+28” has been completed within the time limit.

With the endless rotation of the item spiral in World of Warcraft, characters become stronger and stronger. This allows players to take on and overcome increasingly difficult challenges. An almost infinite increase in difficulty is possible with the “Mythic+” system of dungeons. Through different effects (“affixes”), more health points, and generally deadlier opponents, the instances become increasingly difficult. Especially the time limit that needs to be adhered to becomes harder to maintain.

A new record has now been set, and a “Mythic+” dungeon of difficulty level 28 has been completed. The group of Naowh, Fragnance, Gingì, Imbanane, and Fanstér ventured into Lower Karazhan and completed the dungeon flawlessly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR4RLKYdmMM

This was made possible by a relatively lenient combination of affixes, which are comparatively easy this week. However, for a “+28” dungeon, the term “easy” is relative. The affixes of the week were:

  • Explosive: Killed enemies place a debuff on all player characters that deals 10% of their health as damage over 4 seconds. This effect is stackable.
  • Enhanced: Normal enemies have 20% more health and deal 30% more damage.
  • Quaking: All player characters periodically send out a shockwave that deals damage and interrupts nearby allies.

What is particularly impressive is that the group had almost 3 minutes left on the timer – they could have almost allowed themselves a wipe.

What was the hardest “Mythic+” dungeon you have completed within the time? Are you still stuck at the “M+15” threshold?

Soon players may be able to craft their own “Mythic+” keystones!

Zenyatta from Overwatch can walk – and it looks really silly

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

The story of Overwatch is full of secrets yet to be uncovered. Why can Zenyatta, for example, float as the only known Omnic? We now know the answer: It just looks really bad when he walks.

Zenyatta is one of the most played heroes in Overwatch currently and has one of the highest win rates. But even though he is present in so many matches, we know very little about the omnic monk.

A connection to Genji is mentioned multiple times, but a real background for the religious Omnic is still missing. Also, a small detail is never discussed: Why can Zenyatta actually float? Sure, as a machine, he could just install modules – but there are no visible thrusters anywhere.

More about Overwatch: Is Emre Sarioglu Hero 27?
Overwatch Zenyatta Iris

Other Omnics have to walk too!

In many videos, we see Omnics walking. Bastion and Orisa are prime examples showing that sentient robots cannot just float around. They use their legs for movement, just like humans do – even though there are certainly more efficient ways.

Whenever an Omnic is seen floating, it has thrusters or other modules that allow it to move in the air. These Omnics can actually fly, and not just levitate a meter above the ground like Zenyatta.

Regarding the monk, two questions arise: Why doesn’t Zenyatta have to walk when his fellow beings are grounded? And what purpose do his legs serve then?

We’re on it: The Overwatch giveaway for D.Va gear from Razer!
Overwatch Orisa Highlight
Especially heavy Omnics even need four legs!

Fan demands: “Let Zenyatta walk!” – and Blizzard responds

This question seems to have also occupied a fan in the Overwatch League. He stood in the crowd holding a sign that said: “Let Zen walk!” – “Let Zenyatta walk!” The sign, which was probably just meant as a gag, actually caught the attention of Blizzard.

The official Twitter account of Overwatch picked up the fan along with the sign and added a scene. In this, we see Zenyatta using his legs to walk. And that should make it clear to everyone why he prefers to float…


The reactions of the fans to the tweet are very entertaining, by the way.

What do you think of the action? Do you think it’s cool that Blizzard engages in such fun? Should Zenyatta really walk? Leave us a comment or check out our Overwatch page on Facebook!

How to get the ratings refresh cards in Ultimate Team

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

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

How the Inform cards behave during the ratings refresh is somewhat complicated. You can find out in our overview of the ratings refresh in FUT 18.

Star Citizen: Squadron 42 offers a “living” spaceship

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

In many games, a vibrant world is important. Therefore, the environment in Squadron 42, the single-player campaign of the MMO Star Citizen, is designed to offer a lively game world.

The single-player campaign Squadron 42 places a strong emphasis on telling a thrilling and dense story. And you experience this in an environment that is intended to be as believable as possible. This also includes daily life aboard the Idris-class warship where you are stationed.

Star-Citizen-Cunningham

Life on a gigantic ship

The game offers you not only missions where you engage in intense space battles in your fighter or explore abandoned space stations or planets. In between, you also “live” on the large warship. And here you encounter many NPCs that make the environment feel “alive”:

  • NPCs follow a daily routine
  • If an NPC gets hungry, they go to the mess hall to eat
  • Each NPC has their own job that they perform on board
  • If crew members are tired, they lay down in their beds
  • NPCs react to events: If there is, for example, an explosion and a fire, then NPCs will rush to help with fire extinguishers

Star-Citizen-Boarding

AI recognizes what interests you

The game’s AI reacts to the player. It is programmed to always check what you are currently looking at. Then a timer counts down. If you are still looking at the object or NPC once the time is up, something interesting will happen. The NPC might speak to you, a door might open, etc. This is designed to make it always interesting for the player to walk through the spaceship, making you feel as if you are truly aboard a “living” ship.

These details have now been presented in a new video by Star Citizen:

LoL Hextech Crafting: Riot reveals the chances of skins and other loot

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Do you know how high the chance for a Skin Shard and how low the chance for Emotes from Hextech Chests in League of Legends (LoL) are?

The developers at Riot Games are now revealing what the drop rates for loot box content in League of Legends look like. In a post from the League of Legends support, the chances for the various rewards of Hextech Crafting have now been disclosed.

Hextech Crafting – The Chances

The reward system of League of Legends, Hextech Crafting, rewards players for good matches with chests. These must be opened with keys, which can also be earned. Randomly, key fragments are distributed at the end of a won game – playing in groups increases the chance of getting a fragment. Three fragments combined yield a key to open a chest.

Through sportsmanship and good behavior, you can also earn fragments.

LoL Craft Prices

In the chests, there are various rewards: from Skin Shards, which can be transformed into permanent skins with in-game currency, to Gemstones, which can be crafted into additional chests. The Gemstones can also be saved for particularly rare skins.

According to Riot’s explanation, the value of a skin has nothing to do with how often it drops. A legendary and thus particularly valuable skin could drop as frequently as a “normal” skin.

LoL Annie rare Skin

There are about 800 skins in League of Legends that can drop from chests. This means there is a 1:8 drop chance (0.125%) for each individual skin. Exceptions are skins like Hextech-Annie, which are exclusive to the Hextech system. The chance for such a skin to drop is 1:2500.

Chances of Hextech Chests – How high are the chances for the contents?

  • Skin Shard – 50%
  • Champion Shard – 25%
  • Permanent Emote – 10%
  • Ward Skin + 150 Orange Essence – 11.5%
  • Summoner Icon + 150 Orange Essence – 3.5%
  • BONUS
  • Gemstone – 3.6%
  • Bonus Chest + Key – 10%
    League of Legends Title Art LoL Title

In Patch 8.7 of League of Legends, Masterwork Chests are released. These are exclusively for cosmetic items. The chests can only be purchased in the in-game shop.

Chances of Masterwork Chests – How high are the chances for the contents?

  • Skin Shard – 70%
  • 525 Orange Essence – 10%
  • Permanent Emote – 10%
  • Ward Skin + 150 Orange Essence – 10%
  • BONUS
  • Gemstone – 3.6%
  • Bonus Chest + Key – 10%

Frequently asked questions about the Hextech system of League of Legends are answered on the support website.

Since there doesn’t appear to be a major patch before the new season, the start on Friday is expected to proceed without issues. Recently, Blizzard invited players for server tests on the PTR.

When does Season 13 end? A season in Diablo 3 usually lasts about three months. So expect the end of this season around May 23.

For this purpose, we have a speed leveling guide for you. We show you why massacre bonuses are important and why challenge rifts can be beneficial. Diablo 3 Speed Leveling Guide for Season 13

Energy weapons in Warframe are finally as they were intended!

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

In Warframe the “Beam Weapons” are getting updated soon. They will be returned to the way they were originally intended.

Warframe is currently undergoing some significant changes. A number of notoriously overpowered or underpowered Warframe classes have been adjusted. Additionally, dozens of firearms have been thoroughly reworked and reclassified into ranks.

Warframe-Eidolon

However, the beam weapons were lacking until now. That is about to change.

Beam Weapons are getting nostalgic

Beam weapons were once true killers in Warframe. On one hand, they were hitscan weapons. This means that the shooter only needs to have the target in the crosshairs. As soon as he pulls the trigger, the target is hit as long as it is aimed at. There is no recoil or deviation.

Warframe-Ember-Prime

In addition, there was an extraordinarily high chance of triggering status effects such as “Burn” or “Radiation Damage”. This was calculated based on the fire frequency. So if a weapon had a frequency of 12, it would check if an effect occurs 12 times per second.

However, this cost a lot of system resources, and so the developers changed the weapons so that, among other things, they only checked for a chance of a status effect once per second.

New power for Amprex, Ignis, and Co.

Since the beginnings of Warframe, a lot has changed in terms of performance. Therefore, the developers feel ready to bring the beam weapons back into the game as they were originally planned.

warframe chains of harrow

Since a weapon that can trigger a status effect several times per second and always hits is quite powerful, some limitations have been implemented:

  • The range is generally low. This is especially a significant disadvantage in the expansive Plains of Eidolon.
  • The weapon starts with only 10 percent of its damage and only reaches the full 100 percent damage output after 0.8 seconds of firing
  • After a second of firing pause, the damage falls back to 10 percent.

To avoid wasting ammunition, beam weapons only consume 0.5 ammunition units per hitscan check. This corresponds to the fire rate. A weapon with a rate of 12 will therefore use 6 ammunition units per second.

More adjustments in the next patch

To adapt the beam weapons to the new weapon system in Warframe, they will also be reclassified and possibly modified. Overall, they will be significantly stronger and feel different than before. This pleases the community!

Warframe-Ghoul-Ghul

Additionally, there are other new features, including:

  • More Endo rewards for daily Simaris tasks
  • Charged skills no longer trigger automatically when fully charged, but when you release the button
  • No more Kavat buffs for the Operator

You can find the complete patch notes of the update in the Warframe forum.

The patch is initially set to be released for PC and ideally go online later this week.

Kyogre and Groudon return to Pokémon GO

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Trainers, get ready. For a short time, you can battle Kyogre and Groudon again in Pokémon GO. They join Rayquaza.

In the coming days, you are supposed to prove in Pokémon GO that you can take on three legendary Pokémon. Groudon and Kyogre are now returning to the game alongside Rayquaza, completing the legendary trio. Additionally, there will be a special egg event depending on the defeated raid bosses. To ensure you can participate in enough battles, the developers are also bringing special offers to the Pokémon GO shop.

Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza simultaneously in Pokémon GO

If you couldn’t take advantage of the last chances to catch Groudon or Kyogre, you will again have the opportunity in the coming days. They are now distributed with Rayquaza to the arenas of the world and form legendary raids.

You have until March 5th to defeat these Pokémon. All three will appear in Pokémon GO until then. It is not quite clear whether Kyogre and Groudon are already back or if they will return to the game later in the day (possibly around 10 PM). We are currently reviewing community feedback. Since they all have different strengths and weaknesses, you should take a look at our guides before entering the battles.

Special Egg Rewards

The developers will keep an eye on which bosses are defeated the most.

  • If Rayquaza is defeated more often than Groudon and Kyogre combined, Pokémon that prefer windy weather will hatch from eggs more frequently between March 5th and March 16th. For example, Swablu.
  • If Rayquaza is not defeated as often as Groudon and Kyogre combined, Pokémon that prefer sunny or rainy weather will hatch more frequently in the mentioned period. For example, Seedot or Lotad.

Nanu, Early-Access-Phase von Hunt: Showdown ist plötzlich live

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Well, that was surprising. Without announcement, Crytek has launched the early access phase of the online shooter Hunt: Showdown.

Do you want to know what Crytek has to add to the online shooter genre? Then Hunt: Showdown is now available as an early access game on Steam. For 29.99 euros, you can purchase access and start playing right away. In Hunt, you go hunting monsters – and other players.

In 1889, somewhere in Louisiana, dark creatures are roaming. In teams, you set out to hunt these beings, and you may also get into conflicts with each other.

Improve your Hunter

Played in groups of a total of ten players in a “campaign” that guides you through four missions. Hunt can also be played as a single-player title. You can even upgrade your character:

  • You can improve your “Hunter” through a regular level-up, which gives you more health points and new skills. However, these are lost if the character dies.
  • Through the “Bloodline” progression system, you will gain new abilities, equipment and you can unlock new characters, as well as obtain in-game currency.
  • Based on Bloodline Prestige, it is possible to reset your Bloodline after rank 100.
  • Your progress is recorded based on a leaderboard, through which you compete with other players.

There is still a lot to do

The developers explain that they want to gradually expand the game with new monsters, new weapons, more hunters, more game modes, crafting, and additional maps. In addition, the team responds to player feedback to fix bugs, make optimizations, and implement new features that players want. All of this will take time.

The reviews on Steam are currently mixed. Often, the long loading times are criticized, and the developers still need to significantly improve performance. Furthermore, there are still issues with the servers. Many players praise the gameplay, however.

Even during the alpha, Hunt: Showdown proved to be a very immersive and creepy online game.

Epic and its flashy skins: Is Fortnite becoming too colorful for you?

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 4 minutes

Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4 & Xbox One) doesn’t take itself very seriously and features increasingly silly and outrageous skins and outfits. Are the developers starting to go overboard? We want to hear your opinion!

fortnite-battly-royale-3

When Fortnite: Battle Royale launched in mid-2017, it had the colorful comic graphics of the PvE version, but the playable avatars were all quite subtle. There were various types of soldiers and looters. They looked like they came out of a Pixar film, but otherwise were still grounded.

But then Battle Royale became extremely successful and the developers at Epic pulled out the paint cans!

Epic Goes Colorful! Borderlands Meets WildStar and Pixar!

Especially during special events, the developers released outrageous, colorful skins that stood out from the usual “soldier in X-variations” pattern. It all started with zombie and skeleton skins for Halloween.

Fortnite Halloween

For Christmas, there were avatars with reindeer antlers, as Christmas elves, gingerbread men, or nutcrackers. From the last Battle Pass, you could unlock various knight skins. The new Battle Pass for Season 3 is even more colorful: Featuring astronauts, unicorns, and colorful flame trails during free fall!

Update-Patch-Fortnite

One of the highlights of absurdity was reached with the Valentine’s Day offer of skins. The “Chief Cuddle Officer” is a ragged pink teddy bear and the “Love Ranger” a living statue with purple pants. There’s also a pickaxe with hearts and an oversized teddy bear as a glider “Bear-Force-One”.

Here you can find all skins and outfits from Fortnite: Battle Royale

In the Battle Pass of Season 3, among other things, there was also a pickaxe in the form of a unicorn, even crazier dances, and emojis in the shape of unicorns and poop.

All of this now looks as if Pixar had developed its own version of Borderlands or WildStar.

“This is a bit too colorful for me!”

For some players, this is slowly becoming too colorful. In forums and also here at Mein-MMO, some fans complain that Epic is slowly overdoing it with the crazy designs. One can no longer take the game seriously when killed by a Christmas elf or a goofy plush teddy bear with a shotgun.

fortnite-bear-force-one-02

Other players, however, celebrate this colorful variety and can’t get enough of the new skins. The outrageous style of Fortnite would be one of the main advantages along with the fluid arcade-fun gameplay.

Now is the perfect time to jump into Fortnite!

What does the Mein-MMO editorial team think?

Me, Jürgen, have loved the wacky comic look since Borderlands and WildStar. Therefore, Fortnite has opened doors for me. I also regularly find myself investing large sums into the wildest skins. My colleagues in the editorial team think similarly:

  • Robert: “I think the colorful skins and the graphic style are what make the charm of the game. It doesn’t take itself too seriously. This is a delightful contrast to PUBG, which comes across as a serious military simulation.”
  • Leya: “I think it’s great that Fortnite stands out from other battle royale games and isn’t so serious. The flashy graphic style is also a nice, strong contrast.”
  • Echo Mirage: “I think it’s cool when developers dare to put quirky clothes in their games. There are more than enough gray-brown (often military) shooters or realistically styled games on the market that all take themselves very seriously. The crazier outfits may seem out of place at first glance, but I think they still fit with the fundamental character design of Fortnite.”
fortnite-lama-axt

What do you think about the style of Fortnite: Battle Royale?

But enough about us. What do you think about the graphics and style of Fortnite? Has it always been too colorful? Have the developers slowly gone overboard? Do you like it just as it is now? Or should it be even more colorful and crazier? Let us know in our survey.

 

By the way, there is a rather subtle Fortnite skin for PlayStation Plus users for free.

A new event has started in The Division – Your chance for more loot

Gastbeitrag Gastbeitrag Reading time 2 minutes

In The Division, a new event is now live that offers double rewards.

This weekend, you have the opportunity to receive double supply performance containers in a new “special event”. These have a low chance of dropping Exotics and Classified gear, so take advantage of it.

When and how long does the event run?

  • Start: The event started on February 23 at 1 AM
  • End: The event ends on February 26 at 1 AM
event

So you have the entire weekend to grab double containers.

What are supply performance containers?

After reaching the maximum level 30, you will continue to earn experience points. Instead of a level, you will receive a supply performance container as a reward.

The event will now grant you an additional container each time.

What’s inside a container? Each one contains two gear pieces, such as weapons, mods, high-end gear, regular gear sets, and Phoenix Credits. You also have a low chance of obtaining key fragments and a bonus in the form of a third gear piece. This can be an Exotic or a Classified item as well.

Where can you get supply performance containers?

You need to collect experience points for supply performance containers, which you can earn by

  • defeating enemies in the open world,
  • playing missions,
  • eliminating high-value targets,
  • mastering incursions
  • or playing the resistance mode.

The Dark Zone, the Underground, Survival, and PvP modes do not benefit from the event.

Tip: You can increase the experience points you earn. Gear pieces like knee pads or purple mods with bonuses for kill XP will give you a significant boost if you want to farm containers.

Sea of Thieves starts Surprise Stress Test – How to play the Beta

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

Surprisingly, the Sea of Thieves team has now announced another stress test. This is how you can participate in this beta.

This weekend, you can once again set sail in Sea of Thieves. Whether alone or with friends – a cheerful pirate adventure with gold coins and cannons is possible again in the coming days.

Please remember that this is once again a stress test. Such tests serve to push servers to their limits and collect important data. Therefore, there will be connectivity issues and disconnections.

Sea of Thieves: Beta Registration

Last weekend, starting February 16, the first scale test of Sea of Thieves already took place. Surprisingly, the developers have now stated that the second scale test is playable this weekend. And that basically starts right now.

From now on, you can participate in the Sea of Thieves stress test until Sunday, February 25, at 11:00 AM.

The good thing is: Anyone can participate. You just need to register in the Xbox Insider Hub. This software can be found by Windows 10 users and Xbox One users in the store.

Sea of Thieves Download

Once you’ve downloaded the software on the respective platform, you can register there for the stress test and then download the game. Additionally, pre-orderers have access to the stress test.

During the last scale test, there were delays after registration in the Insider Hub. We hope it goes smoothly this time.

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

Expect Issues – You’re Helping the Developers

During such a stress test, problems sometimes occur. This is intentional, as the developers need to collect important data from the servers. Sometimes all players’ connections are interrupted to simulate what happens during a failure and how the login servers respond to that.

  • Sessions may be interrupted
  • At certain times, Sea of Thieves may not start
  • Issues with shops in the game
Sea of Thieves Brig3

The stress test also only offers a small preview of what will be found in the full release of Sea of Thieves later. Some features may be intentionally not tested yet.

What is Sea of Thieves About?

In Sea of Thieves, you can expect fun and exciting pirate adventures. You are with other players in a session. As pirates, you try to find treasures. There are treasure maps or puzzles that lead you to the various islands found in the vast sea of the game.

The trips to the islands are especially fun as a group. Assign your crew, as someone has to adjust the sail while other members read the map in the captain’s cabin or stand at the helm on deck, steering the ship in the right direction.

Sea of Thieves Ruder

On the way there, you might encounter other pirates who want to steal your treasures. Fortunately, the ships are equipped with cannons so you can defend yourself against other players. Once you recover the treasure and bring it back to your home port, a reward awaits you.

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

Destiny 2: Before the Update 1.1.3, two maintenance tasks are necessary – Patch Preview

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2, two maintenances will be conducted next week. These prepare for update 1.1.3, which brings some new features and bug fixes.

On February 27, Bungie will deploy update 1.1.3. This represents the second of four milestones on the roadmap for Spring 2018, which lists important endgame updates.

Before the update along with the changes can be deployed, two maintenance sessions are necessary. Here are the preliminary time indications:

Maintenance on Monday, February 26

  • This is a backend maintenance. Bungie is working behind the scenes on the servers to prepare for 1.1.3. There is no downtime planned.
  • However, between 7 PM and 9 PM, there may be server issues. Maintenance will take place during this time. Disconnections are possible.
    destiny-2-hüter

Maintenance on Tuesday, February 27

During the maintenance on Tuesday, the servers will go offline. Additionally, update 1.1.3 will be deployed.

  • At 5 PM our time, preparations will begin. You will not be able to log in.
  • At 6 PM the servers will shut down. If you are still in the game now, you will be roughly kicked. From now on, update 1.1.3 should be available for download.
  • At 7 PM the servers should be back online. The maintenance is therefore relatively short. However, bear in mind that Bungie never strictly adheres to these time indications.

What changes with update 1.1.3?

The main new features of update 1.1.3 are already known. Additionally, Bungie has now shared a few bug fixes that will be addressed simultaneously.

The main new features of 1.1.3

Bug fixes with 1.1.3 – Preview

The following bug fixes are merely a preview – they are not complete:

  • A bug will be fixed where players could come outside the intended play area with the Phoenix Dive ability.
  • A bug will be fixed where players could receive a loss in the trials of the Nine when opponents left multiple matches in a row.
  • The crucible helm ornament will now also increase in unlock progress for wins in “Trials of the Nine” in addition to competitive match wins.
  • Projectiles from “The Colony” will now correctly track enemies when the frame rate on PC is set above 30 FPS.

Bungie will release the complete patch notes when the update is available. We will report on it.

They are inevitable and always come at the most inconvenient moment: maintenance work for online games. Today, we want to know from you what you do during that time.

It’s known: Joyfully, you click on your favorite game, mentally diving into the next quest and are about to log in when – ZONK! Maintenance work with a grim face blocks your virtual door. What to do?

Unexpectedly Often

Most maintenance work is announced in advance and some are even carried out regularly, so you really shouldn’t be surprised. But Christmas always comes out of nowhere! Who could have guessed that!? Right: No one.

But the freed time is there. The question now is, what do you do with it? Do you just shrug it off and log into another game? Do you contact the next community manager or a phone counseling service with foam at the mouth? Do you leisurely read the patch notes if an update is the reason for the maintenance?

Guddy says: For me, maintenance work always comes, fundamentally and exclusively, at the most inconvenient moments.

  • I finally managed to carve out time for questing together with friends? Maintenance work.
  • I’m lying sick in bed and finally mustered the strength to trudge to the PC: Maintenance work.
  • After weeks, I finally feel like playing game XY again? Maintenance work.

Yes, we are good friends, maintenance work and I.

But the question doesn’t concern me, it concerns you: What do you do during that time? Do you check the clock every minute, cursor already on the login button, making sure not to miss anything? Do you not care and just continue with life? Type away and let us know!

Diablo 3 wants fair play: update before season 13 against bots and HUDs

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

With a new update for version 2.6.1, Blizzard targets programs like TurboHUD and bots in Diablo 3.

A short time before the start of Season 13 in Diablo 3, the developers released an update. The update does not affect the balance of the various classes. Instead, it addresses a larger problem with third-party programs. Blizzard made surprising changes in this area.

Diablo 3 Patch 2.6.1 – The end for bots and TurboHUD?

The new patch was released about two days ago for Diablo 3. As no patch notes were published, players asked in the forum what had changed in the game. Community manager Nevalistis explained that hotfixes for permanent fixes were made in the update, and background functions were changed. There were no gameplay changes through the update to Diablo 3.

However, with the changes to background functions, Blizzard has evidently struck gold. Now programs like TurboHUD and various bots no longer work.

What is TurboHUD? TurboHUD is a third-party program that displays additional information on your Diablo 3 screen. The functions of this software can be used to gain better vision on the minimap. This can create advantages in Diablo 3 that other users without this program do not have. Therefore, its use is controversial in the community.

Diablo 3 third-party software
TurboHUD in Action Source: Imgur

How do HUDs and bots work? Game information such as health points, mana, position of enemies and your character, map patterns are stored in the RAM of your PC. Third-party programs read this information directly from the RAM and display it on your screen (HUD) or let bots react to it.

With the new update for version 2.6.1, Blizzard made it more difficult to read this information. They encrypted the memory locations with the important information in the RAM. Additionally, the location where this information is stored changes. Each time you restart Diablo 3, this information will be stored in a different location.

Diablo 3 Season 13 Title2

These changes have made reading this information much more difficult. However, this does not mean that it will become impossible, and bots or HUDs will never work again.

The developer of TurboHUD stated that fixing these issues is difficult and the chance of TurboHUD ever running again is slim.

This change could mean that at least at the start of Season 13, we will see significantly fewer bots in the leaderboards that take the fun away from fair players.

The 13th Season in Diablo 3 starts on February 23

Fortnite Secrets: How to find your treasure, fox, llama, and crab

Robert Albrecht Robert Albrecht Reading time 4 minutes

Instead of daily challenges, there are now weekly challenges in Fortnite: Battle Royale since the new Season 3. With our guide, you can complete them all! You will find the secret treasure of Dusty Depot and visit Fox, Llama, and Crab.

In Season 2, challenges had to be completed daily to make progress in the Battle Pass. Epic promises more flexibility for Season 3. You no longer have to log in daily to ensure the Battle Pass is completed.

Every week there is a new set of weekly challenges consisting of seven tasks. If you manage to complete four out of the seven tasks, you get an additional EXP bonus.

We will show you how to complete all seven tasks – every week!

fortnite-wöchentliche-aufgaben

Attention: For the weekly challenges, you must have purchased the Battle Pass for 950 V-Bucks. There are also challenges for those who have not purchased the Battle Pass, but these are self-explanatory.

Task 1: Deal damage to opponents with pistols

You can find pistols frequently in the game. In many cases, this may even be your starting weapon. To complete the task, you must inflict a total of 500 damage points to opponents. You can complete the challenge with regular pistols as well as with the suppressed variant.

fortnite-silence-pistol

Both weapon types inflict immense damage at short range. If you force yourself to play with the pistols, especially at the beginning of a round, you should have this challenge completed quickly.

Task 2: Search chests at Pleasant Park

Land at the beginning of a round in Pleasant Park and loot 7 chests to complete this challenge. You will likely regularly encounter other players trying to snatch the treasure chests right in front of you.

fortnite-weihnachtsbaum
In Pleasant Park, it’s all about looting treasure chests!

So make sure to land in Pleasant Park every now and then to complete this challenge. The area is large, and there are plenty of treasure chests hidden in the numerous houses.

Task 3: Revive players

You logically cannot complete this task in solo mode. Play with friends or random players in duo or team mode, and the task will complete itself. If you revive a friend five times, the challenge is complete!

Task 4: Visit a Llama, a Fox, and a Crab

This task is interesting. The task description sounds abstract, but it’s easy to accomplish. Epic has placed structures in three locations on the Fortnite map that are intended to depict exactly these animals.

The structures are located at the outer edges of the map. To avoid being caught in the storm, you should land directly at these structures to complete the task. The following image, which was posted on the Fortnite Reddit, shows you the locations of the animals:

With our guide to building fortifications to epic victory!

Task 5: Follow the treasure map from Dusty Depot

Fortnite goes treasure hunting – In Dusty Depot, you can find a map that leads you to a treasure! The map can be found in the fenced areas between the warehouses in Dusty Depot (there are two, which you find doesn’t matter).

This is what the treasure map looks like:

fortnite-schatzkarte
Found by Reddit user Onyx23

But where does the map lead to exactly? Some may notice the large chair – it is located north of Flush Factory and south of Shifty Shafts. The large tree is also hard to miss.

If you find the right tree, a golden star will appear that you can collect. Task completed!

In this video, “Der Kurze” shows you the way:

Task 6: Eliminate opponents with the sniper rifle

You need to eliminate two opponents with sniper rifles. Whether you use the bolt-action or semi-automatic sniper is up to you. Try to hit opponents who are currently relieving a fallen enemy of his loot or consuming potions.

Fortnite

Task 7: Eliminate opponents at Fatal Fields

Land at the beginning of a round in Fatal Fields and grab a weapon immediately to catch stragglers right away. Make sure you land faster than your enemies. You need to eliminate three opponents around the barns of Fatal Fields to complete this task.

This shouldn’t be too challenging – usually, several players land in this area depending on the game mode.

Congratulations – you have completed all weekly tasks of the Battle Pass!

Have you already completed all tasks for this week?
