Season 3 launched in Fortnite: Highlight of the Battle Pass is John Wick

Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4 & Xbox One) has launched Season 3 of the Battle Pass. The theme is space travelers, but there are also unicorns, elite soldiers, flaming poop, and even the killer John Wick from the movie!

Finally, the 3rd Season of the Battle Pass for Fortnite: Battle Royale has started. The pass is optional, costs 950 V-Bucks (approx. 9.50 Euros) and mainly gives you a bunch of cool cosmetic items.

To earn them, you just need to play diligently and ideally complete the daily challenges. Then you unlock slots and receive more and more skins, emotes, animations, and other goodies.

If you don’t want to spend anything, you will still receive some rewards from Battle Pass increases, even though the most magnificent items are only available to Battle Pass buyers. By the way, if you purchased the pass from Season 2, you get 5 tiers for free!

The Highlights of the Season Pass

The main theme of the new pass is “space travelers”. Therefore, several astronaut skins and other items are available in the Battle Pass. However, if you don’t like space travelers, you don’t have to be upset. Because Fortnite offers other themes:

  • Some items are themed “Elite Agents” or “Contract Killers”
  • If you like unicorns and glitter, you’ll get unicorn emojis and rainbow fall animations
  • If you literally enjoy totally silly stuff, you can be excited about a flaming poop emoji, among other things.

The following highlights are in the paid version of Season 3 of the Battle Pass for Fortnite.

The Junkyard Killer

Fortnite-Battle-Pass-Season-03-Screenshots-03

Early on, you can get a cool skin with a post-apocalyptic look. With a big shotgun and a pickaxe, you look like you just walked out of the latest Mad Max movie.

Rainbow Fall Animation & Unicorn Emoji

Fortnite-Battle-Pass-Season-03-Screenshots-09

If you enjoy glitter, ponies, unicorns, and rainbows, you will also have a lot of fun in Season 3. Especially the fall animations “Rainbow” (Level 20) and “Star Hour” (Level 50) will make every glitter fan’s heart race. At level 90 in the pass, there’s even a hefty unicorn emoji!

Cool Space Travelers and Mean Killers from Outer Space

Already at level 1 of the paid season pass, there’s a laid-back astronaut in a spacesuit as a new skin. At level 55, the cool “Moonwalker” is added.

Fortnite-Battle-Pass-Season-03-Screenshots-14

The most sought-after space traveler awaits you at level 70 with the “Dark Traveler”. Nobody knows who or what is behind the black helmet visor.

Also highly coveted: The already presented Flame Trail fall animation, which is only available from level 84.

Silly Stuff – Robot Dance and Poop Emoji

Fortnite-Battle-Pass-Season-03-Screenshots-07

Once again, the list of season pass items features totally silly things. Particularly funny is the famous “Robot Dance” at level 95, a pickaxe with a pencil sharpener (level 79), and a level 80 emoji showing an angry, flaming poop! Ideal for taunting opponents!

Elite Commandos and … John Wick?!

As another theme, you will also find the skin of a ruthless elite killer at level 87. But the highlight is at level 100, at the end of the pass! Those who endure for that long and unlock everything will receive a skin called “The Grim Reaper”.

Fortnite-Battle-Pass-Season-03-Screenshots-20

However, this is not the bony grim Reaper. Instead, you can expect a grumpy guy in a suit and beard. He bears a suspicious resemblance to the killer John Wick played by Keanu Reeves from the eponymous film series.

Fortnite-Battle-Pass-Season-03-Screenshots-22

John Wick is considered a hidden gem among action film fans and impresses with hard-hitting action and a cool protagonist. Therefore, the skin in Fortnite is particularly coveted. A sequel was released in cinemas in 2017, and part 3 is set to be filmed soon.

Currently, it is assumed that the servers in Fortnite will be back online around 4 PM.

PUBG stutters after update – Here’s what you can do against the lags

The new update of PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) causes stutters in the game. Here’s how you can improve performance.

On the night of Thursday, February 22, a new update for the battle royale shooter PUBG was rolled out to the live servers. This includes two new loot boxes and is supposed to improve performance at the start of the game. However, in other areas, performance has declined.

Players complain about stuttering during their PUBG matches.

PUBG is lagging – FPS lags after the February update

Anyone playing with the latest PUBG update will notice that the game’s performance has negatively changed.

Now there are micro-stutters in PUBG. The community has been complaining about this since the patch became available on Thursday morning. Apparently, a few bugs have crept into the update. Despite good FPS values and powerful PCs, PUBG stutters every few seconds.

PUBG Man Title Weapon Cape

The community has long been complaining about the game’s performance, and the developers are trying to improve it. In a previous update, a trick was used to make PUBG more stable.

The developers are already aware of the latest issues and are working on a solution.

PUBG is stuttering – Solution against the stutter

On Twitter, the PUBG support account replied:

“PC players, we are aware that some players are noticing periodic stuttering in the game. Our technicians are already investigating this issue.”

At the same time, they also offer a temporary solution that should fix the stuttering for now until the technicians have resolved the issue: “Please disable the replay and death cam features.”

Disabling the replay and death cam features should, according to some Reddit users, actually fix the disturbances. This should make the game run more smoothly again. If disabling does not help, players should then restart the game.

Update 16:55: The issue with the stuttering is now apparently resolved.

We asked the chief designer of Elite Dangerous: What comes next?

Elite Dangerous aims to make a significant leap forward with the update series Beyond. The focus is on new ships, more multiplayer options, and the story involving the aliens. We asked the lead designer what the Beyond update holds for Elite Dangerous.

In Elite Dangerous, you can explore our galaxy to your heart’s content and do whatever pleases you. However, with the planned update series Beyond, the range of activities is set to expand significantly.

We spoke with Sandy Sammarco, the lead designer of Elite Dangerous, and received some information on the progression of the upcoming Beyond updates.

Ships, Aliens, and Squadrons

Elite-Beyond-Pictures-02

With the update “Beyond: Chapter One”, you can expect known changes to some core systems – including the new crime system – as well as the multiplayer wing missions. In the subsequent two updates of Beyond, new ships, more missions, and a continuation of the story will play a significant role. 

Aliens in Retro Style

The aliens of the Thargoids have been a part of the game for a while, and it remains unclear what these foreign beings truly want. The mysterious machinations of the invaders continue to be an important topic in Elite.

Elite-Beyond-Pictures-04

The developers plan to weave more details about the aliens into upcoming updates and also address the mysterious first conflict with aliens in the past. A hint of this is the appearance of “new” Thargoid scout ships, which just happen to look like the alien ships from the original Elite from 1984.

Why this is the case should be revealed to players in an upcoming update of Elite.

Furthermore, the aliens will make no attempts to withdraw. However, those who are not interested in battles with the Thargoids should still be able to keep their distance and continue with their normal daily tasks in the universe.

Arms Race with the Alien Creatures

But it’s not just the aliens that are getting new ships. Those who don’t care about peaceful contact can look forward to the new ship Chieftain. This ship has been specially designed to kill aliens.

Elite-raumschiff-chieftain-01

However, the developers don’t want to stop there and plan to introduce even more new ships in later updates. An exciting arms race is ahead.

Focus on Multiplayer

As another focus, the developers plan to add more multiplayer content to Elite. The cooperation with other gamers is a big feature in Elite. Therefore, with the first chapter of Beyond, cooperative wing missions will come that you can complete together with other players.

Elite-Beyond-Pictures-03

By the end of 2018, the long-awaited squadrons are set to arrive. These player groups can appoint a “squadron leader,” who can then assign players hierarchically. There will also be improved tools and communication options within the squadron.

Squadrons can acquire a large carrier ship to reload, repair, and refuel on the go.

Whether multicrew ships can also be part of squadrons could not be answered yet.

No Fear of Star Citizen

Star Citizen is the major competitor of Elite Dangerous and receives a major update in 2018. However, the developers at Frontier Developments remain calm. They have always anticipated that a genre like “space simulation sandbox games” would not consist solely of one game.

Elite-PS4-01

Therefore, there’s room for two major games of this kind. Just as the existence of Call of Duty does not prevent new parts of Battlefield from regularly appearing. They do not fear competition. Rather, at Frontier, they welcome the fact that the long-neglected space genre is finally moving forward.


A major feature of Elite: Dangerous is the complex stories that arise from the interactions of the players around the sandbox. Among them the touching story of a doomed player and his difficult final journey to the edge of the galaxy.

FIFA 18: Are professionals cheating their way into the top 100 of the Weekend League?

In summary, his statement: No, I did not use the “blocking cheat”; I just learned about this trick recently, but now I am also starting to use it.

EA announces investigation

EA has already confirmed to Sport1 that they want to address the issue. How the reaction will unfold and whether the “cheaters” will be punished is unclear. However, if it comes to light that the trick works, it would cast a shadow over the qualification for the eWorld Cup.

However, it has not yet been proven that the trick works reliably. Nevertheless, many top 100 players are applying it. We are looking forward to EA’s statement.

The “blocking cheat” is not the only negative headline for FUT 18. The FIFA World Champion of 2017 pauses his career because he now hates the game.

The Weekend League is the most important mode in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team. Recently, a rumor has emerged that many Xbox players are using a trick to make it easier to reach the top 100 of the leaderboard.

Since FIFA 17, the Weekend League (WL) has been part of FUT. It is now the most important online mode where the best FIFA players compete for the best rewards.

This month, the competition is even about more than just coins and packs: Qualification for the FIFA eWorld Cup in the summer. Only the best 64 players of February on Xbox One and PS4 will get the chance to participate in the FIFA World Cup.

It is even more devastating that a new cheating method has allegedly been uncovered in the Weekend League.

What kind of cheat is this?

In the Weekend League, 40 games against random, similarly skilled opponents decide the ranking. If a pro plays against slightly weaker opponents, it is easier for him to achieve a good ranking. If matchmaking assigns him several strong esports players, it becomes significantly more difficult.

With a seemingly clever trick, some players want to outsmart this random matchmaking: Several pros on Xbox have started blocking strong players. This can be done through the menu if you know the gamertag of the opponents. Because: They believe that blocking will lower their chances of having to face that player.

If they do this with all known pros and regular top 100 players, they will only face weaker players. This significantly increases the chance of going undefeated through the Weekend League. And a 40-0 record brings qualification for the FIFA World Cup much closer.

fifa-18-rodriguez

What is the truth behind this “cheat”? Whether blocking a player really prevents playing against him is unclear and can be difficult to test. The trick is said to work only on Xbox, not on PlayStation.

Even though there is no clear evidence, a noticeable indication is the increased number of players who achieved 40 wins out of 40 games last weekend. There were 27 in total; normally, it is only about half that number.

Serious accusations against well-known FIFA pros

In an interview with Sport1, Italian FIFA esports player Gabry revealed that a large number of French and American pros are using this cheat. Among them is Lucas “DaXe” Cuillerier from Paris Saint-Germain.

Gladbach’s Michael “Phenomeno” Gherman tested this and found out: The top 3 of the Xbox leaderboard in February had blocked him. Among them was a German, David “DHoudek” Houdek.

The blockers are now receiving criticism from all sides. Wolfsburg’s “SaLz0r” said: “These are just not professionals.” “MoAubameyang” even goes one step further:

Rocket League is testing tournaments – Here’s how you can participate in the beta now

In the car soccer game Rocket League, the tournament beta is now active. We show you how you can test the new feature.

In the next hours, the developers from Psyonix are testing the upcoming tournament mode of Rocket League. You can check out the new feature in a PC beta before it is released in the spring update.

Keep in mind that this beta is only for PC players or Steam users. Players on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One do not get access to the Tournaments beta.

Tournament Beta – Start and End

The tournament beta started on Wednesday. It will remain active until Saturday, February 24, 2018, at 2:00 AM.

During this time, you can organize, start tournaments, and compete against other players or your friends.

Rocket League Flight

Rocket League Beta Participation on PC, Steam

To participate in the testing phase, open Steam on your PC. Go to your library view and look for Rocket League. Once you find the game, right-click on it and choose “Properties”.

Click on the “Betas” tab at the top and select “tournamentsbeta – Tournaments Beta” from the dropdown menu. If this option does not appear in the dropdown menu, you should restart your Steam client.

Rocket League Beta

After that, an update for Rocket League will automatically queue in your Steam account. The update is about 2.3 GB in size.

Once you have downloaded it, you can try out the tournament feature in the game.

Differences between Beta and Live Version

When you play the tournament beta, there is no way to compete online against other players (except in tournaments).

  • You cannot trade with other players or use keys or crates.
  • Some new items in the inventory may not be displayed, such as items from the Victory crate.
    • This is just a display error. You still own the items in the “live version” of Rocket League.
  • You may see new color options that are planned for the future.
Rocket League Jump

If you have played enough tournaments in between and want to play “normally” against other players again, simply switch back to “None” in the betas tab in Steam.

Known Issues with the Rocket League Tournament Beta

  • Crashes may occur if you finish a tournament before a match series.
  • Sound issues when entering a match or training.
  • Crashes when leaving tournaments.
  • Issues when multiple group members enter a tournament at the same time.
  • Third-party mods or programs can cause the beta to crash.

In Destiny 2, the Sunshot will be more explosive – but unfortunately not until May

In Destiny 2 a large portion of the exotics is currently being revised. The developers have now given a hint about what the Sunshot might look like.

In the last “This Week at Bungie” on February 15th, Bungie provided the first insight into the planned sandbox adjustments. A main component of these changes is the revision of most exotic weapons and armor, with the developers specifically addressing the Graviton Lance.

destiny_2_edz_public_event_04

Recently, Senior Designer Jon Weisnewski spoke up on Twitter and gave a hint about how another exotic, the “Sunshot,” is set to become even more exotic.

The “Sunshot” as the latest example of exotic changes

With a GIF and a few words, Weisnewski teases the “new” Sunshot:

https://twitter.com/sharkeatsman/status/966108580104425472

“I just saw a kill chain explosion from the Sunshot for a triple kill in the exotic tuning PvP test”

In the GIF, you can see a bridge being blown up, with multiple explosions occurring one after the other. Weisnewski does not elaborate further on the Sunshot changes, but many Guardians are sure: The exotic is going to be more explosive in the future! 

What is the “Sunshot”?

The Sunshot is a hand cannon that is used in the energy slot. It deals solar damage and is one of the few truly solid exotics that Destiny 2 can still boast about in PvE. It resembles the Fatebringer from its predecessor and excels particularly when it comes to taking on larger groups of enemies. When you eliminate an enemy with this weapon, they explode in a fireball. The explosion is sufficient to take down other nearby enemies.

What is the problem with the “Sunshot”?

The interesting thing is – there isn’t really a bigger problem with the Sunshot. The weapon represents one of the few exotics in Destiny 2 that genuinely plays exotically and feels that way too. This weapon already meets the designation of “Exotic” – which is sadly not a given in Destiny 2.

destiny-2-sonnenschuss

Nevertheless, this weapon will also be enhanced as part of the exotic tuning and will receive new or revised perks. Some Guardians on reddit are pleased about this.

How will the Sunshot look in the future?

Its intrinsic perk “Sun Explosion” is likely to remain in its base form. Because it already functions as expected from an exotic, and Bungie also announced that they do not want to change the identity of exotics, but rather uphold and improve them.

Whether the perk will be expanded with certain mechanics or whether the weapon might receive an additional exotic perk that chains enemies with explosions when achieving triple kills is purely speculative. However, Weisnewski’s tweet strongly suggests that Bungie is working on something regarding the Sunshot explosions.

In May, we should know more. Because the exotic changes originally planned for March 2018 have now been postponed to May by Bungie.

destiny-2-exotisches-engram

Conclusion:

It remains difficult to assess the extent to which Bungie will manage to enhance the exotics in Destiny 2 – as many of them definitely need it. But both the changes to the Graviton Lance and the recent hints regarding the upgraded “Sunshot” rekindle hope that Bungie can breathe new life into the exotics in Destiny 2. It would certainly be desirable, as exciting loot would greatly benefit the game in its current state.

What do you think about this? Do you agree with Bungie’s chosen direction for the exotics?

How Fortnite revolutionizes the building mode! Turbo building is coming

Especially on consoles, the building mode of Fortnite often caused frustration among players. Lag, the wrong material, or obstacles in the way – all this Epic wants to address with update 3.0.0. Today, a Turbo Building mode arrives in Fortnite and Fortnite: Battle Royale on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

The building mode is the core of Fortnite, whether battling zombies or against human players – those who build cleverly win games!

Unfortunately, luck often plays a part. Because often due to lag, the wrong building piece is selected. This is frustrating, especially in critical situations. The fact that when resources are low, there is no automatic switch to the next available resource bothers many players.

fortnite-beste-basis

Epic now promises in a blog post that all these issues will be a thing of the past with update 3.0.0.

Turbo Building and Automatic Material Switch

With Turbo Building, Epic will introduce a feature into the game that I have long wished for. With update 3.0.0, you can automatically build pieces by pressing and holding the build button.

In what situations is this useful?  When you are being shot at, hold the build button and turn around your axis – et voila, the fortress is built! Even when building large stairs on mountains (or to the sky), you no longer have to spam the build button, you can just hold it down.

fortnite-fall-schaden

Want to build a fortress and running out of materials? That is frustrating, especially when you are visible to other players. In the future, you will be able to select in the game settings that the game automatically switches to the next resource if the first one runs out.

With update 3.0.0, you can build through objects!

Many players know this situation: They want to build a fortress in a forest and cannot continue because the tip of a tree is in the way – instead of having to chop down the tree first, you can build freely in the future.

It does not matter what object is in the way. You will be able to build anywhere and anytime!

Note: Your structures still need to be connected to the terrain. If the connection is lost, the structure will collapse. Example: A ramp in the air that runs through a tree will fall if the connection to the terrain or ground is destroyed.

The ability to build through objects and the automatic building will be demonstrated in the following video:

Faster Switching Between Building Pieces (Battle Royale only)!

Particularly on consoles, lag can cause the wrong building pieces to be selected. This leads to frustration and, in doubt, to a screen death because instead of placing a wall, a floor piece has been laid.

Epic has changed the network code so that switching building pieces no longer runs through Epic’s servers. Whether this means the purely client-side switching of building pieces is not known. However, Epic promises that switching building pieces will now feel more consistent.

fortnite-building-1

This change will initially only be available in Battle Royale mode – the Save the World mode is expected to follow!

What do you think of all the improvements surrounding the building mode?

Reversed World: Free MMORPG Rift is soon launching subscription servers

From Free2Play Game to Subscription Server? This is a rather unusual method, considering that most MMORPGs have done the opposite. Nevertheless, a premium subscription server for Rift will soon launch.

With the so-called Prime Server, Trion Worlds aims to provide a player experience reminiscent of what was possible before “Free2Play” – without boosts, lockboxes, and without items in the in-game shop. However, you need to possess the Patron status, which requires a subscription.

Alternatively, it is possible to purchase the Patron status with the in-game currency REX, but you will only retain the status for a short period.

Rift-bogenschuetze-01

The Premium Server is Coming to Rift

The Prime Server offers you the following:

  • You will be guided through the content faster
  • Your level dynamically adjusts to the respective zone
  • You will find loot in dungeons that is tailored to your “real” level
  • There are caps for professions for individual characters
  • Your rewards are also unlocked for characters on other servers
  • Only cosmetic items in the shop
  • There are no lockboxes

Rift Primalist 2

The Server is Online for a Limited Time, Launching on March 7

The Prime Server for Rift launches on March 7. If you purchase the Primogenitor Pack in advance, you will receive a 30-day Patron access, two 15-day Patron accesses for friends, the Armored White War Tiger mount, the Primogenitor title, a Void cloak, and a Prime portrait frame. The pack costs $30.

The Prime Server has a limited duration. Once this duration is reached, your character will be transferred to the regular servers. The exact duration of the server is currently unknown. If you want to experience Rift like a subscription MMORPG, the Prime Server is a good idea.

The Prime Server of Rift is an interesting way to experience the MMORPG in a different way.

12-year-old Fortnite YouTuber gets thousands of subscribers, gets swatted

A young Fortnite YouTuber has had a rough time in the last few days. First, another streamer helped him gain a high subscriber count, then he was swatted.

Peter “Rolly Ranchers” Varady is only 12 years old and has already experienced one of the ugliest sides of the internet. The past few days have been particularly eventful for him. He went from “one of many trying to make it on YouTube” to someone with over 100,000 subscribers. And finally, to a victim of swatting.

“Swatting” refers to false emergency calls aimed at sending the police to the victim’s home. Callers do not hold back, informing the emergency services that hostages are being held in the affected house, that armed, dangerous individuals are present, or that people plan to harm themselves. The authorities rush to the streamer’s house after such a call, and the callers watch “live” how he reacts.

Fame through another YouTuber in Fortnite

Peter “Rolly Ranchers” Varady was streaming the game “Fortnite” as usual on his YouTube channel. In a match, he was randomly paired with the well-known YouTuber Cizzorz in a duo match.

Although the twelve-year-old Varady had been posting videos regularly for almost a year, he only had about 1,000 subscribers at that time. After they played together for a few minutes, Cizzorz encouraged his viewers to check out Varady’s stream. The viewer count for the young streamer skyrocketed.

“I didn’t deserve this!” Varady said multiple times in tears. But Cizzorz reassured him: “You put in hours of work. You grind. Before and after school. Keep at it!”

During the livestream that followed, viewers donated several hundred dollars to the young YouTuber. Until then, he had hardly earned anything from his livestreaming. In just about 24 hours, Varady’s subscriber count rose to nearly 80,000 – now it stands at 123,000. In subsequent streams, the twelve-year-old repeatedly expressed how grateful he was for this.

Last Sunday took an unpleasant turn in this story. Police and emergency services rang the doorbell at Varady’s home. Unknown individuals made a 911 call during his livestream, stating that the boy and his mother wanted to hang themselves.

When he was back in his room at his PC, he cried. “Why do you have to do this?” he asked his viewers. “I don’t know if I can continue being on YouTube.”

Cizzorz is horrified by the incident

YouTuber Cizzorz learned about what happened and was beside himself.

“In 24 hours, we helped a kid grow from 400 subscribers to over 87,000. I was just informed that someone swatted him during his livestream tonight. I feel terrible. There are really bad people in this world. The kid is only 12 years old! I hope whoever did this rots in a cell,” he wrote on Twitter.

Just last year, a 28-year-old man was shot by the police after being swatted. Despite this terrible incident, some people still apparently do not understand how dangerous swatting is and misuse the power of police and SWAT teams for such nonsense.

In an interview with ABC News, twelve-year-old Peter Varady explains that it was the “most terrifying moment of his life.” His mother explains that she opened the front door and the emergency responders stormed into their house.

Although he knew what swatting was, he never expected to become a target. “People were writing in the comments that I was being swatted. I ignored it because I thought they were joking. I didn’t believe they would really do it until I saw the police and LAFD everywhere.”

Despite this incident, the young streamer is not discouraged and continues his streaming career. “If someone wants to swat my house again, I don’t care,” he says in the first stream after the swatting. “I will keep running this channel here.”

The Los Angeles police are investigating this incident and trying to identify the caller, who threatened to do it again.

  • The PvE mode “Save the World” will also receive a hoverboard. It moves at high speed across the map, and using it does not consume energy.

Warcraft III is alive – a new patch and the “Secret Tournament” is near

Warcraft III is still being developed. A new patch shakes up the balance and raises hopes: Will there be a big Warcraft announcement soon?

The real-time strategy hit Warcraft III is now nearly 16 years old and remains one of Blizzard’s biggest successes. Even now, there is still a loyal community playing the game – and they are getting new content.

Blizzard has reactivated the test servers for Warcraft III and is currently testing the latest patch 1.29. After many months, this will significantly disrupt the balance of the game, as there are numerous balance changes, especially regarding hero movement speed.

Warcraft 3
4:3 is soon a thing of the past – Warcraft 3 finally gets proper 16:9 support!

But visually, Warcraft III is also being polished and finally receives proper widescreen support for the 16:9 format. Until now, there was only a “stretched” view, where the entire game was simply stretched horizontally. Those who did not want that had to live with black bars on the edges of the screen.

The “Secret Tournament” – is more to come?

But there is more to announce: As speculated in the past few days, Blizzard is hosting a tournament and has invited old legends from Warcraft 3 to celebrate the naming patch, the “Warcraft 3 Invitational: Patch 1.29 Tournament”. The tournament will take place on February 27 and 28.

Warcraft 3 Arthas

From Germany, Christopher Heil, better known in the community as Tak3r, who became famous for his notorious tower-rush strategies, is participating.

Many fans suspect that this is just the beginning of something bigger. The tournament is said to be just a pretext for an announcement in the Warcraft realm. Speculation is rampant, ranging from “Warcraft IV” to “Warcraft Mobile“.

Whether there will be “more” than just a patch and the tournament will be revealed in just a few days.

Insane! Mythic raiders in WoW type all spells manually

True raid professionals in WoW type all spells manually instead of using key bindings. You don’t believe it? Check it out here!

WoW Meme Expanding Brain Spells

A few days ago, a typical meme was circulating on Reddit about World of Warcraft. The “Galaxy Brain” meme ironically depicts how “mortal beings” make mistakes and superior individuals come up with “better” solutions. This was applied to the use of abilities in WoW and looked like this:

In short: Those who use key bindings are beginners. Advanced players click on spells, professionals click on the skills in the spellbook, and true experts type every ability manually with the “/cast” command – this is, of course, meant ironically.

All spells via /cast command in the mythic boss fight

The warlock Luedot has taken this to heart and implemented the motto “Don’t let your memes be dreams” in practice. During the mythic fight against the worldbreaker of Garothi, he executed most spells via the /Cast command.

This tactic is not really superior (who would have thought) – the DPS suffers quite a bit, but that was not the point either. Luedot probably just wanted to prove that it is indeed possible to play this way. Hats off for the attempt!

If you look closely, you can see that one or the other spell is still activated with a key press. However, with mythic raiders, the keys are probably so firmly embedded in memory that Luedot doesn’t even notice this. We’ll turn a blind eye and consider this challenge fulfilled!

What do you think of this action? A cool thing or just silly?

Destiny 2: Changes take longer than planned, are supposed to be super cool

At Destiny 2, Bungie is making changes to the roadmap. Some new features have to be delayed to make them “super cool”.

In early February, Bungie presented a roadmap for Spring 2018. This schedule indicated when to expect which updates and what endgame features they would deliver.

Back then, Bungie pointed out that this was only a rough roadmap, and a lot could still change. Now, just a week before the next “milestone” in this roadmap, the update 1.1.3, the developers provide an updated version of the roadmap. Some changes have been made.

DE_roadmap
The updated roadmap

What to expect in update 1.1.3

The update 1.1.3 is scheduled for February 27.

What has been adjusted compared to the previous roadmap?

  • The mechanic designed to prevent getting the same exotic repeatedly is being delayed to 1.1.4
  • You can inspect the vendors in the companion app – also delayed to 1.1.4
  • The revision of the auras is no longer in the roadmap.
  • A first version of Nightfall strike challenge cards will be available – brought forward from 1.1.4 to 1.1.3.
  • The Nightfall will receive unique rewards – this goal has been delayed from 1.1.3 to 1.1.4

So these are the new features with 1.1.3:

  • Nightfall scoring and high-score tracking: Nightfall strike will replace the time limitation with strike scoring!
  • There will be a first version of Prestige Nightfall challenge cards.
  • Revision of badges for locations, crucible, and nightfall
  • Your teammates will be displayed on the deployment map!
  • A public text chat will be available on PC
  • In the companion app, you can interact with mods and shaders
    destiny-2-strike

What to expect in update 1.1.4

The update 1.1.4 is planned for March 27.

What has been adjusted compared to the previous roadmap?

  • The weekly crucible playlists will not only be enhanced with the Shank Tank, but also with Rumble.
  • The Nightfall challenge cards will come with 1.1.3 instead of 1.1.4.
  • The mechanic designed to prevent getting the same exotic repeatedly is now appearing with 1.1.4.
  • You can inspect the vendors in the companion app – now appearing with 1.1.4.
  • Sandbox adjustments for exotic weapons and armor – this goal will only be achieved in May, so delayed from 1.1.4 to 1.2.0
  • Unique Nightfall rewards – appearing with 1.1.4 instead of 1.1.3

So these are the new features with 1.1.4:

  • Sandbox changes to weapons and abilities
  • The heroic strikes will receive modifiers
  • The Iron Banner will be played in 6v6!
  • Weekly crucible playlists will be introduced – including Shank Tank and Rumble
  • Ammunition and gameplay in crucible will be adjusted
  • Penalties for quitters in crucible will be introduced
  • A protection mechanic will come to prevent the same map from repeating in PvP or the strike while playing the playlists.
  • A mechanic will be introduced to prevent getting the same exotic repeatedly
  • Unique Nightfall rewards are coming
  • In the companion app, you can inspect the vendors
    destiny_2_e3_2017_ps4_exclusive_strike_lake_of_shadows_pose_8

What to expect in update 1.2.0

Version 1.2.0 will be released in May along with Season 3 and the 2nd DLC.

What has been adjusted compared to the previous roadmap?

  • Sandbox adjustments for exotic weapons and armor will be released with 1.2.0 instead of 1.1.4. The work will thus take about 2 months longer.
  • The mod system will take longer than planned. It will no longer appear in May and will also not be shown on the roadmap.

So these are the new features with 1.2.0:

  • The world-eater raid tract will receive a special prestige mode
  • Seasonal crucible rankings will be introduced
  • Private matches will be introduced
  • The vault will be expanded. According to the previous roadmap by 50 slots. Additionally, further changes are being worked on to prevent the vault from overflowing.
  • Multi-Emote: Soon you will be able to select multiple emotes – and not just one
  • Exotic masterpieces are on the agenda
  • Certain vendors will receive a seasonal rank. Earn reputation to unlock items from them. This rank will reset each season.
  • Improvements to group fights will be implemented
  • Sandbox adjustments for exotic weapons and armor
    destiny_2_e3_2017_ps4_exclusive_strike_lake_of_shadows_action_3

Furthermore, Game Director Christopher Barrett states about these changes: The reason for the delays is that they want to ensure that the features meet high quality standards.

For example, they wanted to release the unique Nightfall weapons simultaneously with the strike scoring, but it is more important that these rewards meet the new challenges. And that will still take a while. They need to be “super cool”, Barrett said, hence they are giving the artists extra time to make them super cool.

Specifically regarding the mod system, he says that the improvements are still planned. When we can expect Mod 2.0 will be announced in the future.

He is also pleased to announce that with 1.1.4 the Rumble mode, a free-for-all mode, will be introduced. There should be more variety in the PvP modes. A Doubles mode is also planned, but there is no release date for that yet. The strict 4v4 format will thus be broken, following last week’s initiation of the Crimson playlist.

The Overwatch League skins are free if you have a lot of time

The special League skins from Overwatch can soon be earned in a new way. We explain how you can get the skins without spending money.

Since the start of the Overwatch League, there have been numerous new skins in Blizzard’s hero shooter. The special skins represent the different teams competing in the league. Unlike other cosmetic items in Overwatch, these skins cannot be obtained from loot boxes but can only be purchased with real money, as part of the money goes directly to the teams.

Overwatch League Orange Skins

However, soon there will be a way to obtain the skins completely without spending money – at least if you have enough time and endurance. The Overwatch League apparently wants to encourage more players to take an interest in the matches. In the future on Twitch, you will receive an Overwatch token for watching a League match. These are the same tokens that players could otherwise purchase directly for money.

There are at least 12 games per night, so if you keep Twitch running in the background, you need just over a week to secure a skin for the League.

Additionally, there is an extra chance at each final match. A percentage of all viewers will be granted a bonus of 100 Overwatch tokens, which is distributed randomly.

For this to work, it is necessary to link the Twitch account with the Battle.net account. This can be easily done in the Twitch settings. Only then can the tokens be credited to the corresponding Overwatch account.

What do you think of this method? A great idea to also get at least one or two skins for free? Or does it take way too long? Will you watch the League because of this incentive now?


Have you already seen the percentage distribution of the ranks? How good are you?

PUBG Patch Notes from February 22

Along with the new loot boxes, other areas of PUBG are changing as well. We summarize the patch notes for you:

Airplane / Performance: At the start of a match, you will no longer see the interior of the airplane. This is intended to improve performance. You will see other players when they jump out of the airplane. To avoid disadvantages, you can use a new UI button to show how many passengers are still on board.

PUBG Airplane Jump Miramar

Replay / Report Player: If you report another player using the replay function, the developers will receive a 60-second replay file – with footage 30 seconds before and 30 seconds after the reporting point.

Additionally, changes have been made to prevent the shortened heal/boost cheat. You can find all the changes from the new update here in the patch notes on Steam.

In addition to loot boxes, the new update introduces stuttering in the game – here’s what you can do about it

Fortnite is to become an eSport: Famous LoL team forms killer squad

Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4 & Xbox One) does not yet have an established eSports scene, but that doesn’t stop outstanding teams from forming rosters. The exceptionally successful eSports team TSM in the MOBA LoL has now assembled 4 top players for Fortnite: Battle Royale: a real killer squad.

Fortnite: Battle Royale revolves around wild battles between players or teams. The goal is to eliminate all other competitors. Every day, countless gamers stream their matches, attracting even more fans in front of screens.

The great success of Fortnite has now also brought eSports teams into the mix.

Top LoL Team Now Also Has a Fortnite Division

To represent in Fortnite, the eSports team TSM (Team SoloMid) has signed players Ali “Myth” Kabbani, Darryle “Hamlinz” Hamlin, “CaMills”, and “Daequan”. Each of them has a massive fanbase. Hamlinz is even currently ranked 2nd on the solo leaderboard.

Most of the four Fortnite players have a background in other battle royale shooters like PUBG or H1Z1. The only one TSM does not say “He has spent hundreds of hours in H1Z1 or PUBG” is Myth. However, he is considered an exceptional builder in Fortnite. With the building feature, Fortnite sets itself apart from the battle royale competition.

The four top gamers are all extremely skilled. In a video compilation, you can see how they wipe out entire teams solo with shotguns and pistols. Riding rockets to eliminate everything or making a precise kill with the rocket launcher from absurd distances.

One of the Best Western eSports Teams

With such pros, TSM should be well represented in Fortnite. The renowned eSports team also has its own divisions in Hearthstone, the mobile MOBA Vainglory, PUBG, and Super Smash Bros.

fortnite-fall-schaden

TSM is particularly famous in League of Legends. There, they are considered the strongest and most well-known team from the West in a sport dominated by South Koreans. Of the 10 North American championships in LoL held so far, they have won an impressive 6.

Will Fortnite Really Be a Good eSports Title?

So far, there is no established eSports scene in Fortnite. Some players and experts believe that massive battle royale games like Fortnite or PUBG are not suitable for competitive play. There is simply too much randomness involved.

wailing-woods-fortnite

Even the best player in the world couldn’t do much if he lands with only a pickaxe due to bad loot luck and a noob blows his head off with an epic shotgun.

However, should there be an establishment of eSports for Fortnite, TSM already has a top team in place.


Fortnite and PUBG are currently leading the battle royale genre, while H1Z1 is experiencing a major decline.

Pokémon GO: Community Day in February – Everything you need to know

We have the Dratini WP overview, the Stardust catch table, and other information you need for the Community Day in February 2018 from Pokémon GO.

The second Community Day of Pokémon GO is just around the corner, and many trainers are excited about it. It starts on February 24, and the Pokémon for this day is Dratini.

In this overview, we compile the most important information to ensure the 2nd Community Day is a big success for you.

2nd Community Day – Start Time – with Shiny Dratini?

On 02/24/2018, the second Community Day in Pokémon GO will take place, featuring the special Pokémon “Dratini”. The time is from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. You will have only three hours to participate.

Can you participate in the event everywhere? So far, we can only rely on the experience from the first Community Day. There, trainers could participate in the event everywhere and find the special monsters. However, the chances were somewhat higher in parks.

During the first Community Day, we experienced that the special Pokémon (Pikachu) spawned particularly frequently, and there was also an increased shiny rate. Although many trainers wish for a similar experience from the second Community Day, this is not guaranteed. Shiny Update: Good news, trainers. Shiny Dratini have been confirmed – Here you can find out more about it

During the event, you may not find Dratini as frequently as Pikachu during the first event. It is also not guaranteed that we will find shiny Dratini. While we and a large part of the community are counting on it, we can only confirm this officially during the event.

Pokémon GO Community Day Title 2

The bonuses that are active during the event will provide increased motivation:

  • Lure modules last three hours instead of 30 minutes
  • You will receive triple the amount of stardust for catching Pokémon
  • The special move is not learned by Dratini itself this time, but by Dragonite, which will be evolved during the event.

Event 2018 – Preparations for the 2nd Community Day

To ensure you are well prepared for February 24, you should make sure that you have enough Poké Balls in your inventory. So go gather beforehand to fill your supply with balls of all types. Stardust pieces can be well combined with the triple stardust amount per catch to earn even more of the coveted dust. In conjunction with incense, you can earn a lot of stardust during the event.

Pokémon GO Star Piece

Dragonite is one of the most popular Pokémon in Pokémon GO. If you want to have many (strong) of them, you should use the nanab berry when catching Dratini to get more candies as a reward.

At the same time, the event offers another reason to use lure modules due to the extended activity time.

Stardust Overview for Dratini

The topic “stardust” is prominent during the second Community Day of Pokémon GO. For this purpose, Reddit user harvester89 created a summary table showing how much stardust you will earn

  • Normally
  • With the Community Day bonus
  • With stardust piece bonus
  • and with weather bonus
Pokémon GO Community Day 2

WP Values of Dratini – How strong is mine?

If you have caught a Dratini, you want to know how strong it is. With particularly low CP, you can usually tell that you have caught a rather weak monster. But what do the high values look like?

  • 737 CP, (no wind,) a 100% IV and level 30 Dratini
  • 799 CP, windy weather, a 100% IV and level 35 Dratini

In this summary table from PokémonGOHub, you can see the top 15 CP values of Dratini:

Dratini WP overview

Apart from these activities in the game, the Community Day is a great opportunity to meet nice people. If you go to a popular park on this day, you will meet many Pokémon trainers, with whom you can talk about the shared hobby.

This event primarily serves the community. Meet new people and take the chance to get some fresh air.

WoW streamer calls own mother a slut – she kicks him out live

A World of Warcraft player received an eviction notice from his mother – and this happened while he was live streaming. In the middle of an arena match, she handed him the letter, which caused Twitch streamer Crusader3455 to freak out.

The RL problems of streamers find their way into the channels from time to time. In rare cases, this happens live and the audience gets to see it. This was the case for the young Twitch streamer Crusader3455.

As he was fighting with 2 friends in the WoW arena against three other players, his mother came in and placed a letter on the table. The letter contained a request to leave the house.

wow-legion-pvp-arena

“Shut the hell up, you bitch!”

At first, Crusader3455, whose real name is Michael, did not react at all. He continued playing the match calmly and ignored his mother, who was still standing next to him. All of this was recorded by the webcam.

Only when she repeatedly pointed to the letter and the request did he stand up, upset, and shouted at her, “Stay away from me!” and repeated, “Get out!” to chase her off.

His mother only replied, “You are leaving my house right now!” His mother did not back down. She tried to make Michael understand that he was no longer welcome and even threatened to call the police. Michael, on the other hand, just yelled at her and screamed: “Shut the hell up, you bitch!”

The reactions of the viewers and Twitch

Michael has already freaked out live on stream on other occasions. He yelled at his screen and repeatedly slammed his desk, which even made the camera shake. On one occasion, he even yelled at his mother through his mobile phone because she didn’t want to bring him pizza.

Clips of his outbursts quickly circulated on social platforms. On Twitch and Twitter, many viewers reacted with disbelief, anger, and outrage at Michael’s behavior towards his mother.

Twitch has already suspended the clips but has not announced any further actions. Whether Michael has since been removed from his mother’s house and whether Twitch will ban him is unclear. The channel is still accessible at the moment.

The developers of the German studio Brain Stone Games want to create a gaming experience with Pantropy that will truly challenge you. What you do and how you do it will advance you. You cannot buy progress, no matter what.

Pantropy 2

Mech Wars in a Distant World

Pantropy places you on a distant world where you fight for supremacy. You team up with other players, build a base, explore the world, and engage with other factions. You won’t just be on foot, but also with gigantic mechs.

You even get to build and customize them yourself. Dangers lurk everywhere in the world, and your base can be attacked by enemies, which is why you must pay attention to a good defense. It’s also important to gather resources to expand both your base and your mechs.

Pantropy aims to provide you with interesting gameplay:

  • A deep crafting system
  • Two player factions, one NPC faction
  • NPCs initiate conquest campaigns
  • Come up with plans for an automated farming system
  • Create complex bases that you can build freely
  • PvE and PvP
  • Design your own mechs using a modular system
    Pantropy 3
  • Explore different biomes
  • Global events require teamwork
  • Fight on foot, in the air, or from the cockpit of your mech
  • At the start, there are five types of mechs, with more to follow
  • Explore the world in vehicles that require a crew
  • Build global defense structures to increase your reputation and earn money
  • Collect EXP by acting wisely and using your skills effectively

Kickstarter Campaign to Fund Development

Pantropy is currently being funded through a Kickstarter campaign. The team aims to raise at least 75,000 euros by March 13 to realize the vision of the mech MMO.

The game is scheduled for release in mid-2019, with alpha and beta phases planned before that. The closed alpha is expected to start in March of this year.

The studio behind Pantropy, Brain Stone, is based in Potsdam. The team consists of around a dozen employees.

Will Pantropy perhaps compete directly with the announced Mechwarrior 5?
