Overwatch Halloween 2017: How to Win Endless Night

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

The Halloween event 2017 for Overwatch went live last night! This year, the Halloween brawl “Junkenstein’s Revenge” gets an additional mode: Endless!

Junkenstein’s Revenge: Endless – with Leaderboard!

As you may have already heard, the Arcade brawl “Junkenstein’s Revenge” is receiving an addition this year: The “Endless” mode (in English “Endless Night”). In this mode, it’s not about winning in the shortest time possible. Instead, you and your teammates must survive for as long as possible. The waves of zombies become increasingly stronger. After enough waves have been defeated, “bonus waves” will come in to determine the ranking.

Overwatch Junkrat Junkenstein Comic

Unlike in the regular Junkenstein brawl, in the Endless mode, bosses can also appear more frequently – even multiple at the same time. It is not uncommon for two summoners (Symmetra) and four monsters (Roadhog) to attack the heroes at once. It becomes particularly critical when the witch (Mercy) appears as well.

To make it a little easier – or at least feasible – besides the already known heroes, Zenyatta, Torbjörn, Widowmaker, and Genji can also be selected. To really get far, a good combination is also necessary.

Endless Night: Survive until the never-ending morning!

An effective composition would be, for example, McCree, Soldier 76, Torbjörn, and Zenyatta. As in the “Story” mode, Soldier and McCree are also very strong here. With their high damage at all ranges and accuracy, they are very helpful in taking down zombies as well as bosses.

Overwatch Skins Halloween McCree Reaper

Especially McCree’s ultimate is very useful, as it deals extremely high damage to bosses or even kills them instantly. Soldier’s biotic field should also not be forgotten to support the healer.

Zenyatta is the stronger choice in this mode compared to Ana. On one hand, he can heal more accurately, and on the other hand, Ana’s biotic grenade is only limited in use. It has to be timed precisely to prevent Roadhog from healing himself. The sleep dart often misses a target.

Zenyatta can work well with all three others by defeating the target with the Orb of Discord through teamwork. Since it does not have to be charged up first, it is the stronger alternative to the Nanoboost here.

Overwatch Halloween Torbjörn

Torbjörn can shine particularly in horde mode. His entire repertoire seems to be made for just this. If the turret is placed in a high position where it can cover a large area, it will easily dismantle Omnics – and also Junkenstein’s Kamikaze tires.

The Viking, as he is called here, thus allows the others to focus on the important things. His armor, which becomes particularly important later, and his Molten Core are very valuable in the fight against the bosses.

The difficulty levels are “Normal”, “Hard”, “Expert”, and “Legendary”. Not for the faint-hearted! In the end, there’s a spot on the new leaderboard that has been implemented specifically for this mode!

If you prefer to pass the time with “normal” game modes, you can enjoy Halloween versions of Eichenwalde and Hallowood – uh – Hollywood during the event.

World of Warplanes should take off again – thanks to version 2.0 & Conquest mode

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

The airplane action game World of Warplanes was the only “World-of” game from Wargaming that did not achieve major success. This should finally change with version 2.0 and a new game mode called Conquest. While this makes World of Warplanes less realistic, it becomes more accessible.

Wargaming is known for its enormously successful free-to-play games featuring war machines from around the Second World War era. In World of Tanks, tanks rumble across the battlefields, while in World of Warships, powerful battleships plow through the oceans. Both games are successful and popular, but one branch of the military could never quite convince: The Air Force in World of Warplanes!

warplanes 2 0 screens 06

Due to several reasons, such as the very strange controls, the monotonous constant dogfight gameplay, and strong competition from War Thunder, Warplanes never really established itself and was not even a topic at major Wargaming events in recent years.

Even Wargaming CEO Viktor Kislyi once stated in an interview with us that he was not really satisfied with Warplanes.

Restart with 2.0 – More arcade, more fun?

warplanes 2 0 screens 03

To allow World of Warplanes to take off again, the game will become even more of an action-packed arcade game with version 2.0. This means: even less realism, but more accessibility and fun! Wargaming apparently does not want to compete with the overwhelming and simulation-heavy War Thunder and therefore goes in a completely different direction.

This is evident in the new game mode Conquest. It’s not just about shooting down other aircraft. Instead, you must capture points by destroying or bombing the defense positions fixed to them from the air.

There is also a simplified control, especially for dropping bombs, and a dedicated bomber class that excels in this area. Also cool: You can now manually control your turrets and shoot enemies effectively as a skilled shooter.

Respawns and mission objectives

warplanes 2 0 screens 10

Additionally, a respawn mechanic is new, allowing players to spawn immediately after dying. This keeps battles more exciting and does not lead to automatic victory when the enemy has no bombers left. The captured territories have further bonuses alongside their contribution to victory: factories heal you in the air, airfields provide closer and better respawn points, and military positions automatically fire at enemies.

Especially the respawns add more tactical depth and lessen the fear of kamikaze ramming maneuvers, as players may no longer permanently exit the game when killed. Also cool: Towards the end of a round, respawns are suspended, so you must pay close attention and give your all to win.

Does the restart with Warplanes 2.0 work?

With all these innovations, Wargaming wants to give World of Warplanes a new identity. The days when players endlessly circled each other in the sky, engaged in annoying dogfights, are over. Now it’s about teamwork and completing missions.

In the coming months, further updates are expected, bringing more content and a dedicated end-game mode. Update 2.0 for World of Warplanes has been available since today, October 11, 2017.

Play World of Warplanes for free

Jürgen says:

World of Warplanes was the first game I got to test in my career as an online editor, and despite all its flaws, I always enjoyed it. However, at some point, the constant dogfights became dull, and I started playing other games. Therefore, I am curious to see how Warplanes 2.0 develops and whether it will finally achieve more success.

5 MMORPG-Trends, die Spieler nerven

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 5 minutes

MMORPGs are a lot of fun, but there are also some elements that can definitely be annoying. We present to you five trends that MMORPG fans – in our opinion – can be quite frustrating.

Probably everyone of you has reached a point where your favorite online game drives you crazy. There are certain features and trends that are not always fun, but can sometimes turn into work, or make you wonder if it really has to be like that. Even some design decisions in MMOs are questionable. Therefore, we present to you five things that can be annoying about MMORPGs.

F2P MMORPG Neverwinter

5. Items become worthless through updates

It took a long time to finally get the gear you desired so much. But then a vacation is coming, and you are not in the game for a while. When you return, item degradation has begun. Because an update has been released that changed the stats of the gear or even introduced new items that are even better.

Then the cycle starts again. Grinding to get the new weapons and armor, hoping that these will “last” a little longer and not be replaced immediately by better items.

An example of this is Neverwinter (see video). Updates continuously introduce better gear, and some items are specifically designed for the game’s PvP. So anyone who has previously built a hero for PvP must now look for the new items to defend their place in player-versus-player battles.

Also in Diablo 3 this is a known “problem”. Handcrafted item sets are nerfed by an update and suddenly the previously powerful weapon deals significantly less damage. These changes are usually intended to maintain balance in the game; nonetheless, it is frustrating for many players.

The Division: More Explosions! – What Global Event 3 & 4 Bring

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In The Division, the modifiers for Global Event 3 and Global Event 4 are known. There will be more explosions!

Yesterday, on October 10th, the second Global Event in the history of The Division ended. However, the next two Global Events are already on the horizon: They can and could be played on the public test servers for Update 1.8, which is why it’s already known how they will modify PvE activities.

These events will start only after Update 1.8 has been released. Specific dates are not yet available. Presumably, they will take place in November and December.

division-agent-explosion

Let’s take a look at the upcoming events.

Global Event 3 – Strike

The third Global Event is called Strike. It was already playable on the PC-PTS and brings this explosive Global Modifier in PvE:

  • Strike – always active: When enemies are killed, they explode after a short delay.

These are the optional modifiers:

  • Pre-emptive Strike: The effect of Strike + when you deal too much damage, it triggers a small explosion on the agent.
  • Tactical Strike: The effect of Pre-emptive Strike + Strike explosions mark nearby enemies. Kills of marked enemies deal damage to all other enemies. Additionally, you receive increased damage from ally explosions.

You can select these optional modifiers in the missions Lincoln Tunnel, Lexington, Times Square, Warren Gate, and in the incursion Stolen Signal. So it will be explosive in these PvE activities!

division-agenten-deckung

With the third Global Event, these secret gear sets come: Path of the Nomad, D3-FNC, AlphaBridge, and Banshee.

Global Event 4 – Ambush

Ambush is the Global Event that is currently available on the PTS. It is quieter because you primarily need to remain still. It brings this Global Modifier:

  • Ambush – always active: Agents deal increased damage when they do not move.

These are optional modifiers:

  • Covert Ambush: The effect of Ambush + if you move, your damage is reduced. Additionally, you receive extra damage if you move for too long. A white bar will be displayed above your hit points. If you move, this will decrease, and if you stand still, it will refill. To avoid any disadvantages, you should try to keep this bar as full as possible. If the bar is empty, you will take damage over time.
    division balken
  • Strategic Ambush: The effect of Covert Ambush + if you are too close to allies, you deal less damage.

The two optional modifiers are only available in certain missions, such as in Queens Tunnel, Times Square, Broadway, Police Academy, and in the Dragon’s Nest incursion.

With the fourth Global Event, these secret gear sets come: FireCrest, Hunter’s Faith, Predator’s Mark, and Tactician’s Authority.

Have you already played the events on the PTS? What do you think of them?

LoL: Fired developer was tipsy when he insulted the streamer

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

When the former LoL employee insulted the streamer, he had already had a few whiskeys. He understands his employer’s decision and wants to go to a rehab clinic.

Last week, an employee of Riot was fired for publicly speaking derogatorily about a player. In an interview, the former employee explains that he was drunk at the time and now wants to sign up for a rehab clinic. There he wants to get to the bottom of his drinking habits.

He can fully understand his former employer’s decision to fire him. He would have done the same.

Had “a few too many whiskeys”

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Aaron Rutledge explains that he respects Riot’s decision. Rutledge was the lead designer for League of Legends and recently drew particularly negative attention from the community. On a Discord server, he expressed extreme disdain towards the streamer “Tyler1”.

At Riot Games, Rutledge worked on major projects like the new Honor system, the new champion selection, or the client update. But how did this “slip-up” towards Tyler1 occur?

tyler1

On that fateful day, Rutledge was gaming with his friends. “I had a few too many whiskeys and decided to check which chat rooms were still active. Then a discussion started about Tyler1, and I fired that off.”

Tyler1 referred to himself until recently as the most toxic player in the North American “League of Legends” scene. He became known for his provocative, insulting behavior towards other players in LoL. Over 20 of his accounts have already been banned from the LoL servers.

LoL Tyler1 Flame Discord
Source: Reddit/u/Soullezzz

Rutledge had dealt with the community in his job and therefore knew Tyler1. He used a Discord server connected to the “League of Legends” subreddit and let his feelings run free. Among other things, he wrote:

“He’ll die of a cocaine overdose or testicular cancer from all those steroids anyway.” Or: “Do you even know how much bullshit I’ve had to endure because of him? I had to spend several hours of my workday dealing with his bullshit.”

The termination was no surprise

His comments from the Discord server quickly drew attention on Reddit. “My drunk self decided that I should defend myself. And in a particularly stupid way. When I woke up the next morning, I could hardly remember what I had even said. Then I wrote my apology.”

He directed his apology to Reddit, LoL players, and Tyler1 personally. From the bottom of his heart, he wants to apologize for his misstep. The comments were inappropriate, and no one deserves to hear such things (especially from a Riot employee), wrote Rutledge.

Tyler1 reacted positively to his apology: Shit Happens.

On Sunday, Rutledge spoke with his manager and the communication teams at Riot. It was stated that the problem would be addressed internally. “Not surprisingly, and deservedly, my termination came on Monday morning,” he explains.

Now wants to take care of his alcohol problems

Rutledge noticed that alcohol made him arrogant and inappropriate. The positive aspect is that now he wants to get help for his drinking problem. He wants to work on himself.

“I will sign up for a rehab clinic and find out how my drinking could lead to this.” When he is back home, he wants to work as a freelancer for a while. However, his big goal is to work in the gaming industry again.

Riot Games gives Tyler1 the chance to prove himself. If his LoL accounts are “clean,” he may return to the game.

Overwatch: No tombstones in loot boxes – bug or intended?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A certain type of items is not included in the Halloween loot boxes of Overwatch. We will reveal what it’s all about.

Currently, the Halloween event 2017 is taking place in Overwatch. There is again the cool Junkenstein game mode as well as plenty of new and old cosmetic items. However, a few items are missing and can no longer be included in the loot boxes.

OVerwatch Reaper Tombstone

The tombstone victory poses, where characters rise as zombies from a graveyard at the end of a match, cannot be obtained from loot boxes this year!

Blizzard does not want tombstone heroes

In the official forum, Blizzard explained why they decided to take this step. While the tombstone poses perfectly captured the spookiness of Halloween, they do not represent the characters of the various heroes well.

The only exception is Reaper. His tombstone victory pose can still be obtained from loot boxes, as it makes sense for this character. After all, Reaper is the only hero who is truly undead.

Overwatch Halloween Mei title.

Apparently, Blizzard is not entirely satisfied when the different characters are identified as “dead” – especially not when they stand as winners at the end of a match.

The victory poses, however, are not disappearing from the game. Those who want them can buy them directly during the event for 75 credits, which is the normal price for a rare pose.

As a small “compensation” for this, there is a whole load of new victory poses, where the characters hold up pumpkins, which is supposed to better match the characters’ personalities. Or so.

What do you think of these changes to the tombstone victory poses? Silly step, for which you now have to spend credits? Or a logical matter and well justified?

Which cool skins are available in the Halloween loot boxes of the event, we have revealed to you in this article.

Destiny 2: The Twisted Tower – How to complete the Nightfall strike this week

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2 is the Twisted Tower Nightfall Strike for this week. Here are tips and tricks on how to master the Nightfall.

Actually, this week in Destiny 2, which started on October 10, the Prestige Raid was supposed to be available. However, it was postponed due to an exploit. All Guardians who were looking forward to this new PvE challenge may now fully focus on the “standard PvE content” – such as the weekly Nightfall Strike.

This time it is the Twisted Tower that is in the spotlight.

The modifiers and challenges in the Twisted Tower

The Twisted Tower is the strike that could be played during the beta of Destiny 2. Moreover, it was already a Nightfall in the second week after launch, where you had to jump through Vex portals to extend the mission timer.

Now the “Twisted Tower” Nightfall Strike has different modifiers:

  • Friction: Health and shield regeneration are affected – you only regenerate your health points automatically after a long time. Eliminating enemies can create light sources. Collect these to restore health and recharge your supers.
  • Time Loop: Stall Time: Defeat enemies to extend the mission timer. In normal mode, you start with 12 minutes, in prestige mode with 8.

The challenges in the Nightfall Strike:

  • Complete the Nightfall with at least 5 minutes remaining.
  • Complete the Nightfall with less than 3 deaths.
  • The Bob is Lava: The fireteam must not be hit by Protheon’s fiery ground attacks.
    Destiny-2-Sentinel-Vex-Strike-1024x576

Tips for the Nightfall Strike

Your goal is to eliminate as many enemies in a short time as possible. Both extra time and health points come from defeating enemies. This means you shouldn’t rush through the strike at breakneck speed with just three players but should also defeat the small enemies along the way. However, dawdling or spending too long on single enemies is not recommended. Here are a few tips:

  • Bring at least one Warlock who can place the Healing Rift. This way, you can gain extra health.
  • Also, you should choose focus and skill builds that allow you to achieve additional health regeneration, like the Sunbreaker Titan with the Code of the Siegebreaker. There are several options and combinations for this, including the Striker with the Unyielding Skullfort.
  • For the final fight, bring a rocket launcher (save your power ammo until then) and Arc weapons against the Harpies.
  • If you need to reset the transit system (the phase before the drill), it can be beneficial for one Guardian to sprint through and activate the mechanic immediately. The other two Guardians can defeat the adds before that.
  • This also works with the final boss. One Guardian can rush through the drill to the final boss while the other two Guardians kill enemies and extend the time. The Guardian at the final boss then pulls his teammates in (ally joining).
  • Unload your rockets, grenades, and super attacks on the boss in phase 1. Save some rockets for the last boss phase. You should clear the first phase quickly to avoid spending too long dealing with the Harpies.
  • In Phase 2, you can stand on the sockets. They won’t become “lava”. Shoot the boss with kinetic weapons.
  • In Phase 3, attack the boss with rockets as soon as he loses his head and becomes aggressive. Go all out now and defeat the enemy.

FIFA 18: Guest mode is back in FUT! – Play Ultimate Team together again

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In FIFA 18 Ultimate Team, you can play together again! The guest mode is now available – but with restrictions.

In recent years, it has always been possible to play online modes with a guest in FUT mode. This means that a friend grabs a second controller, signs in as a guest, and then you compete together against another random player.

In FUT 18, this was surprisingly no longer possible in FUT Online Draft and FUT Online Seasons. This angered numerous fans who promptly started a petition to demand the return of the guest mode from EA Sports. It was emphasized that many fans assumed when purchasing FIFA 18 that the guest feature was still in FUT. EA Sports had not said in advance that it would be removed.

fifa-18-lukaku

Over 10,000 players have signed this petition – and today, on October 11th, EA Sports responds.

Guest mode is back in FUT 18

As EA Sports announces, they have heard the feedback from the community. The guest feature is now available again in FUT Online Seasons and FUT Online Draft on PS4, Xbox One, and PC in FUT 18.

This was accomplished through a server update; however, there are still display issues that need to be fixed with a later title update.

Here’s how the guest feature works:

  • Search for an opponent in Online Draft or Online Seasons as usual.
  • Once an opponent is found, you will see a screen like this:
    screen
  • Now your guest must press the triangle button (PS4) or Y (Xbox) with a second controller to join as a guest. Make sure the controller is connected and signed in with an account beforehand.
  • The guest has now joined, but this will not be displayed on the in-game screen. This display will be added later with an update.
  • If you press triangle or Y again, the guest will be removed. So make sure to only press the button once.
  • The player with the main controller now presses X or A to start the match. Now you can play the game together.

PUBG: New season delayed – There are just too many players

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) is struggling to cope with the player masses. These are now delaying the start of the new leaderboard season of the shooter.

When many gamers are interested in a video game, that seems like good news at first glance. However, extremely high player numbers regularly present new challenges. This means that the servers need to be improved and other areas of the game adjusted.

There are problems now with the start of the new leaderboard season in PUBG; the date has been postponed.

PUBG Season starts in mid-October

On the Steam community page for PUBG, the developers apologize to the players who have been waiting for the leaderboard reset. The new season was supposed to start on October 11, but that won’t happen.

Because the number of concurrent players in PUBG is skyrocketing, the development team is worried. An immediate season start would jeopardize the stable gaming experience for the fans of the battle royale. The developers do not want to take that risk.

PUBG Update

To provide a more reliable service, some improvements to the back-end must first be made. Previous maintenance work is necessary. This results in the following new schedule for the seasons:

  • The current seasons ended on October 10 at 04:00 AM German time.
  • The new leaderboard season begins on October 17 at 04:00 AM German time. October 20.

You can continue to play PUBG during the time between the seasons, but results will not be recorded. Furthermore, the developers point out that there might be maintenance work again before the start of the new season.

The server issues due to the high player count have already been acknowledged by developer Bluehole. They are working on a solution.

Overwatch: Alle 8 neuen Skins aus dem Halloween Terror 2017

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

The Halloween event in Overwatch is live. We are showing you all the new skins that you can grab starting now.

In Blizzard’s hero shooter Overwatch, the scariest festival of the year is celebrated for the second time. The event “Overwatch Halloween Terror 2017” not only attracts with all the cosmetic items that were available last year, but also packs 50 new things into the loot boxes.

One of the biggest highlights is the skins. There are a total of 8 new skins in 2017, all of which have received the “legendary” classification. They are particularly rare in loot boxes. Those who do not want to wait for luck can also buy all the skins for credits. The new skins cost a proud 3,000 credits per skin, which makes it an expensive affair. We briefly present the 8 new skins – click the images to enlarge them.

All Overwatch Halloween Skins 2017

Ana loves the classic look and dresses up as a genuine pirate bride, who has spent several years on the 7 seas. Particularly cool is the little parrot sitting on her shoulder with this skin.

McCree becomes a monster hunter and gets a skin that not only reminds of the cult figure Van Helsing, but even bears his name. A classic vampire hunter as described in the book.

Mei directly becomes an undead and walks as Jiangshi – a type of vampire-zombie that can only move by hopping.

Our edgelord Reaper tries to become a vampire and quickly turns into Dracula.

Symmetra has, if you believe the community, received the coolest skin. As a sexy-evil dragon lady with a particularly nasty weapon and wing dress, she probably has the most beautiful skin of the event.

Torbjörn finally gets the viking costume that was already seen in the comic last year. But the fans had to wait a long time for it!

Zarya on the other hand prefers bright colors and celebrates an 80s revival party. At least her costume doesn’t look particularly scary – however, her fashion sense is pure horror.

Lastly, there is Zenyatta, who, as a cultist, is devoted to Cthulhu or the Old Gods. Particularly cool about this skin: The ultimate animation now has tentacles. In addition, some voice lines are even replaced, which no longer talk about harmony and balance, but about chaos and despair.

Which skin do you like the most and which one will you definitely get? Which skin is a total failure?

Overwatch Halloween Terror 2017 ist jetzt live!

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

In Overwatch the spooky season has begun, as the Halloween event is live. We will tell you what to keep in mind.

Just a few minutes ago, the spooky season has returned to Overwatch. The “Overwatch Halloween Terror” event 2017 is live on PC, PS4, and Xbox One and if you get past the Overwatch queue, you can play it too!

Overwatch Halloween Lootboxes

As is customary for Overwatch events, there are special loot boxes during this time. The Halloween loot boxes replace all regular loot boxes that you earn during the duration of the event. They are guaranteed to contain an item from the Halloween event. This includes skins, voice lines, victory poses, highlight intros, spray logos, and profile pictures.

We have already revealed which new skins are available in these two posts:

If you don’t want to rely on luck, you can also directly buy the desired cosmetic items for in-game credits. The rule that was already introduced during the Summer Games also applies here:

  • Old items from last year cost the normal price – a legendary skin costs 1,000 credits
  • New items from this year cost three times the price – a legendary skin would then cost 3,000 credits

Junkenstein’s Revenge is back

As is fitting for an event, there is also a special game mode again. Junkenstein’s Revenge invites players once again to team up in groups of four to face the Zombie Omnics (Zomnics) and defend the gate of the Eichenwalde fortress. With cool voice lines and quite challenging on higher difficulties, this mode can certainly entertain for a few hours. Additionally, there is a cool “Endless” mode where Widowmaker, Zenyatta, Torbjörn, and Genji can also be used!

The event runs for exactly 3 weeks, from October 10 to October 31, 2017.

Overwatch Junkrat Junkenstein Comic

If you want to earn or buy the corresponding Halloween loot boxes, you should stock up before then.

Long queue in Overwatch at Halloween

At the start of Halloween Terror 2017, there are again increased queues in Overwatch. Players receive the message that up to 20,000 players are ahead of them in the game. Therefore, it can take several minutes before you actually get into the game. The positive side effect is that matchmaking with so many players works a bit faster and better.

Which skin do you want to grab? Is it the sexy witch skin of Mercy from last year? Or are you really hot for the Cthulhu Zenyatta?

Don’t want your colleagues to see you while playing Overwatch? You can now make yourself “invisible” in Battle.net!

Aliens like those in Elite Dangerous could really exist, says astrobiologist

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

The aliens of the Thargoid race are currently causing trouble in the universe of Elite: Dangerous. But who or what these strange beings are in their gigantic, biomechanical spaceships is unclear. According to the renowned astrobiologist Dr. William Bains, the aliens are well thought out and could actually exist somewhere in space.

The Thargoids are here! The appearance of the overwhelming aliens with their bizarre, flower-like spaceships has caused quite a stir in the space game Elite: Dangerous. After occasional sightings and vague traces of the aliens have surfaced, there have been concrete confrontations with the Thargoids for some time, which have mostly turned out unfavorably for humanity.

What are the Thargoids, anyway?

Currently, no player knows much about the Thargoids. Only the following is known:

  • The Thargoids appear to be insectoid.
  • Their homeworld is unknown; they may come from another galaxy or even a parallel universe!
  • The biochemistry of the Thargoids is based on carbon, like that of humans, but instead of water, their bodies contain ammonia. Therefore, they likely come from planets that are quite cold, as ammonia boils at -33°!
  • The Thargoids seem to be extremely intelligent and possess superior technologies that make their ships almost invulnerable to conventional weapons.
  • The Thargoids rule extremely aggressively when presented with artifacts from the “Guardians,” another long-lost alien race.
Elite Dangerous Thargoniden

Are the Thargoids “real aliens”?

Only the devs like Elite chief and founder David Braben, as well as the recognized astrobiologist William Bains, know more about the Thargoids. Braben had a concept for the aliens a long time ago – after all, they have always been part of the Elite series.

Elite Dangerous 2018 03

Now Braben had his aliens scientifically verified.

During a visit to Cambridge, he met with scientist William Bains, who specializes in astrobiology and has previously published works on the theoretical existence of aliens. Braben and Bains, both avid sci-fi fans, quickly engaged in conversation, and Braben talked about his aliens, the Thargoids.

Thargoids – Not fantasy creatures, but scientifically provable

Bains was impressed, as the Thargoids were not boring, run-of-the-mill aliens that hardly differed from humans. He was so fascinated by Elite and the aliens that he gave an interesting lecture on the probability of alien life at the Frontier Expo.

Thargoniden Elite

In an interview with us at the Frontier Expo 2017, Bains revealed that the Thargoids could plausibly be extraterrestrial life forms under certain circumstances. Their biochemistry is scientifically explainable and would actually function in certain habitats.

Unfortunately, he could not explain any further details about the aliens, and David Braben remained tight-lipped as well. However, Braben grinned mischievously like a schoolboy when he hinted at more mysteries of the Thargoids. These are already found in the game but have not yet been discovered.

Players seek peace with the aliens – Make Science, not War!

The Canonn Research Group

The great mystery of the Thargoids will likely occupy the players of Elite for quite some time. Currently, the group “Canonn Research Group” is particularly prominent in alien research. Players of Canonn were always seen in white lab coats at the Elite Convention Frontier Expo 2017, advocating for research and peaceful contact with the aliens.

They condemn the aggression and arms race between aliens and humans and are currently feverishly searching the universe for the further hints about the Thargoids hinted at by Braben. According to Canonn, the aliens are not standard MMO content that can be quickly shot down and then wait for the next creature. Rather, they hope to gain new insights into the universe of Elite from the aliens. In some instances, they have even managed to establish rudimentary peaceful contact.

The universe of Elite is constantly evolving, and the developers respond to the actions of the players. It could actually have an impact on the future behavior of the Thargoids if players engage with them peacefully. Future updates may bring some surprises in this regard.

There may be more mysteries involving the Thargoids in the roadmap for 2018 for Elite Dangerous.

Pokémon GO: Ho-Oh leak causes a stir – but it’s all just nonsense

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

A false report about Ho-Oh is circulating on social networks. Furthermore, network errors continue to cause issues in Pokémon GO.

In the past few days, an alleged leak has been circulating through the Trainer community of Pokémon GO. An apparently official email announced a new raid featuring Ho-Oh. As it turns out, this was fake.

Fake circulated on Reddit

The supposed leak was uploaded on Reddit, among other places. It was explained there: The support team from Niantic Japan confirmed that the tests for EX raids with Mewtwo were completed. Additionally, a new EX raid boss would be introduced in December. And it would be none other than Ho-Oh.

ho-oh

This information supposedly comes from an email that the support of the game sent to a Japanese trainer. The news was frequently shared on Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp groups. Players were already excited about a new boss in the EX raids and believed the leak. As it turns out, this is all nonsense.

On Reddit, Niantic employee NianticGeorge explains that he looked at the ticket system and that this “false news” was not sent by Niantic’s support team. So, it is indeed a fake.

When Ho-Oh will be released in Pokémon GO cannot be said at this time. However, we are just as excited as you are.

Further issues after update 0.77.1

The new Pokémon GO update 0.77.1 was supposed to eliminate many errors in the game and improve the player experience for you. However, many trainers are complaining about further issues after the update. Network errors and sudden app crashes are causing frustration.

On Reddit, players are exchanging their experiences and reporting their problems with the new update. User SwarleyThePotato writes that the app behaves like a ticking time bomb when battling in a gym. When taking over a gym, the app regularly crashes.

Player aussieftw-21 writes that he has been kicked out of various gym battles due to network errors. Error numbers 2 and 29 appear frequently for him.

Destiny 2: Prestige-Gear – Das ist der neue Loot im Prestige-Raid

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 4 minutes

This new loot is brought by the Prestige Raid in Destiny 2. These are the Prestige Raid items.

Update: The Prestige Raid is live! In the guide, we show you how it works.

On October 18 at 7 PM, the Leviathan Raid becomes more challenging: because the Prestige difficulty of the raid starts, which makes the enemies stronger and smarter and changes some mechanics a bit.

Initially, the Prestige Raid was supposed to go live on October 10 at 7 PM, but it was postponed due to a severe exploit.

destiny-2-raid-raum

The Prestige Raid brings not only the “ultimate PvE challenge” for the Guardians, but also new loot that can be hunted. These items have now been traced in the databases. Let’s take a look at them.

The Gear in the Prestige Raid – Armor pieces, Emblems, and an Ornament

The Prestige Raid does not grant a power level increase, which is why many Guardians were already outraged at its announcement, claiming that there would be no incentive to play the raid in Prestige mode.

In fact, the Prestige difficulty is primarily for

  • all Guardians seeking a new challenge,
  • and for all collectors among you who want to grab the exclusive Prestige Raid loot to show other Guardians: “I have conquered the ultimate PvE challenge!”

You can do this with these armor pieces from the Prestige Raid:

titan helm

Titan – Helmet:

titan gloves

Titan – Gloves:

titan chest

Titan – Chest armor:

titan legs

Titan – Leg armor:

titan class item

Titan – Class item:

hunter helm

Hunter – Helmet:

hunter gloves

Hunter – Gloves:

hunter chest

Hunter – Chest armor:

hunter boots

Hunter – Leg armor:

hunter cloak

Hunter – Class item:

warlock helm

Warlock – Helmet:

warlock gloves

Warlock – Gloves:

warlock chest

Warlock – Chest armor:

warlock boots

Warlock – Leg armor:

warlock class item

Warlock – Class item:

The armor sets from the Prestige Raid are identical to the sets from the regular raid according to the database. Only the appearance is different – the design is more pronounced in gold and violet. The items do not have any special perks. In other words, there are only cosmetic reasons to prefer the Prestige gear over the regular gear.

prestige shader

You can also earn a new shader through the Prestige Raid:

raid emblem

And 5 new emblems were also found, which can probably be earned through the individual phases of the Prestige Raid and by completing the entire raid:

No special Prestige Raid weapons were found, by the way. You can find all previously known raid weapons here. However, these raid weapons still lack a few weapon types, such as the shotgun, the grenade launcher, the fusion rifle, or the pistol. They may still be added later.

acrius

On top of that, you can earn an aura and an ornament for the Legend of Acrius through the Prestige Raid:

Star Wars Battlefront 2 Live Stream – We are testing the Open Beta

Leya Jankowski Leya Jankowski Reading time < 1 minutes

Star Wars Battlefront 2 is currently attracting a lot of attention due to “Pay2Win” accusations. Until tomorrow, October 11, the online shooter can still be played for free in an open beta. Our author Leya will test the open beta live today and see the fun.

Currently, there is a heated “Pay2Win” discussion about Star Wars Battlefront 2.

The beta revealed a loot box system that contains not only cosmetic items:

  • Inside the boxes, there are items that provide gameplay advantages in matches.
  • Loot boxes contain Star Cards, which are needed to improve characters and ships.
  • Star Cards can trigger effects such as invulnerability or a faster fire rate.
  • The loot boxes can be purchased or earned over time.
  • Players who buy many boxes have significant advantages over others.
  • The base game costs around 60 euros for the standard version – fans do not like these loot boxes at all.
You can find the details about the “Pay2Win” accusations here: Star Wars Battlefront 2: Players are angry! Is it really Pay2Win?

Let’s give Star Wars Battlefront 2 a visit

The heated discussions and the extension of the free beta test phase are the reason for us to host a live stream. Currently, the online shooter can be tested in an open beta. I, Leya, will dive into some space battles today at 6:00 PM and play Star Wars Battlefront 2 live on PC.

Final Fantasy XIV: Update 4.1 ist da & macht Stormblood noch gigantischer!

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

Final Fantasy XIV Stormblood receives a lot of new content with update 4.1 “The Legend Returns”. For example, you can enter the world of Ivalice from FFXII, acquire new houses in Shirogane, and continue the epic Stormblood story.

Final Fantasy 14 4 1 01

After the story in the Stormblood expansion ends, not all questions are cleared up. For example, what happens next with the liberated areas and in Ala Mhigo? You won’t have to wait long for answers to these questions, as update 4.1 “The Legend Returns” is finally here and brings more content to Final Fantasy XIV.

The Legend Returns – New raid, new story, new areas, and more housing

After the already massive Stormblood expansion, Square Enix is ramping up with update 4.1 “The Legend Returns”. The following new features are coming in the update:

  • The main story continues
  • The notorious Hildibrand is back!
  • New quests for the Beast Tribes with the Kojin will be introduced
  • The new housing area Shirogane will be opened; you can move your old apartment there if you wish. Additionally, swimming is now possible on all properties

  • In the canals of Uznair, there are now the “Forgotten Canals of Uznair”
  • The trial “The Hero’s Ballad of Shinryu” is on the agenda

  • You can form a group with three command members in the new operations and rock dungeons
  • Also cool: Bards can play instruments directly, note for note

Additionally, many adjustments to classes, bug fixes, and smaller improvements are included. The epic 24vs24 PvP mayhem “Rival Wings” will be released with the later update 4.15 and not in 4.1. We have embedded a fitting trailer for the update here for you. Enjoy!

Ghost Recon Wildlands: Titel-Update 8 bringt Ghost War – Patchnotes

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

The new Ghost Recon Wildlands update brings the long-awaited PvP mode Ghost War. What else is changing, we will show you in the patch notes.

With a new title update, Ghost Recon Wildlands resolves some issues in the game. However, the biggest change of the update is the PvP mode “Ghost War,” which will be available after the update. You will encounter each other on eight different maps with twelve classes and let your teams clash there.

We will show you what is changing here.

Update 8 – Patch Notes

Today, on October 10, the maintenance work on the “Ghost Recon Wildlands” servers began. From this evening around 7:00 PM, the patch should then be available for console players on PS4 and Xbox One. From October 12, the patch will be available for PC players.

On consoles, the update is about 11 GB large. PC players on Steam will download 4.7 GB – the UPlay variant is 9.5 GB large.

Ghost Recon Wildlands Beta Coop Screen

Many bug fixes and improvements have been made to Ghost Recon Wildlands with this update. For example, connectivity issues in the campaign have been addressed. To resolve frequent connection problems, the GRW network has now been reinforced with relay servers. These servers are also available for the PvP mode Ghost War.

The relay servers transport network packets between players that do not have a stable peer-to-peer connection. The servers are located in many different places to allow for fast packet exchange.

Ghost Recon Wildlands Beta Motorcycle

Here we include the official patch notes for the 8th title update:

Operations / Story

  • – Correction of a bug in “El Cardinal” where the player could not restart freely after failing the operation.

User Interface

  • – Correction of a bug where a “NEW” tag appeared on gear even if no newly unlocked items were present.
  • – Correction of a bug where the “Rocket Incoming” warning was displayed too late.
  • – Correction of some cases where earned prestige points were not displayed on the screen.

COOP

  • – Correction of a bug where a player was not kicked from the lobby when the command was given by multiple players.
  • – Establishment of relay servers for better connections between players

Gameplay

  • – Correction of a bug where a player shooting from the trunk of a vehicle could lose control of their character.
  • – Improvement of the helicopter landing animation.

Stability

  • – Correction of a bug where users of the Norton antivirus software had issues starting the game.

NARCO ROAD

  • – Correction of a bug in “El Invisible” where the failed operation screen did not appear and the operation became unplayable.
PC
  • – Correction of mouse input accuracy for the new helicopter control scheme. We have implemented mouse acceleration that decreases as the helicopter gains speed and slows down when the player is driving, as the previous implementation lost its angular velocity too quickly.
  • – Correction of a bug where the car doors always appeared closed when using NVidia Ansel.

Ghost War Release

In addition to the many improvements and corrections, the patch brings the free PvP update “Ghost War” to the game. A tactical experience where two four-player teams compete against each other. Console players can already start this mode on October 10, after the maintenance work ends. PC players will have to wait for the maintenance work on October 12.

At launch, Ghost War offers you a choice from 12 different classes and 8 maps. A clever combination of team, tactics, and classes can lead you to victory.

New Warlock Skin “Nemsy” in Hearthstone – not for “country bumpkins”?

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Fans of Warlock in Hearthstone can look forward to a Gnome as a hero. At least if they like to travel far.

In Hearthstone, the number of heroes is increasing again. No, there is no new class, but finally a fresh skin for an existing class. Warlocks have had to settle for Orc Gul’dan, who is by no means liked by all players. Those who want to do without it will soon get a squeaky, gnomish alternative: Nemsy Nimmertot (Nemsy Necrofizzle)

The Gnome has already appeared in some artworks, as she has fished the Swamp Ruiner and the Swamp Strider. Other than that, little is known about Nemsy.

However, unlocking her requires a bit more real effort than with other hero skins. Nemsy Nimmertot can be unlocked starting on October 17 during Fireside Gatherings. These are small events in the real world where players meet casually to play a few games of Hearthstone and chat comfortably.

Nemsy – Exclusive for “City Players”?

Especially in Germany, people might only be moderately happy about this hero. The Fireside Gatherings are sparse, but slowly but surely the list of potential events is filling up. Anyone wishing to attend one will likely find an opportunity in the larger cities of the country. Players in rural areas, on the other hand, may have a hard time locating a Fireside Gathering nearby. You can view all registered Gatherings on this page: Link to the Fireside Gatherings in Germany

Hearthstone Bog Creeper Nemsy

Those who wish can host their own event, but should take it seriously. For example, a suitable meeting place is expected by Blizzard, such as a bar, café, or assembly hall. Only if the Fireside Gathering is authorized by Blizzard can you obtain the new heroine Nemsy Nimmertot here.

What do you think of this way to unlock a new skin? Is it a cool thing because you have to visit the Gatherings? Or is it precisely for that reason annoying and unreasonable?

If you want even more stuff for free, you should also choose your Hearthstone champion now!

LoL gibt seinem größten Troll eine zweite Chance

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

Player “Tyler1” once referred to himself as the most toxic LoL player in North America. Riot banned all his accounts but is now showing leniency. The developers want to give Tyler1 a second chance and are reviewing the case again.

The LoL community has had a reputation for being particularly negative for several years. This was underscored by player Tyler1, who made a name for himself in the community as an extremely toxic player. In his streams, he insulted other players and trolled around. His behavior became known, and ultimately the developers took harsh measures: a ban for an indefinite period.

However, Tyler1 has apparently learned from his mistakes and wants to improve. He wants to prove to the League of Legends team that he is no longer the toxic Tyler1 that everyone knows. Now, the developers are reacting and reviewing his case again.

The Story Behind “Tyler1”

Toxic players in online games cast a bad light on the community and diminish the enjoyment of the game for others. By intentionally playing poorly or trolling, one helps the opposing team more than their own.

Tyler1 made a name for himself in the League of Legends community with his trolling, referring to himself as the most toxic player in the North American LoL scene. He streamed his matches, where he insulted other players and freaked out. Tyler1 is considered a good player, is very skilled with the champion “Draven,” and plays in the higher Elo ranges.

This mix intrigued viewers – being on the other side and watching someone deal out punishment while still being able to observe high skill. His stream channel on Twitch.TV quickly became popular and regularly attracted several thousand viewers.

Other streamers didn’t like that, and RiotGames felt pressured to act. After Tyler1 received multiple warnings, they resorted to a harsher measure: an ID ban for an indefinite period. All accounts that are verified to belong to Tyler1 are banned. But now the tide is turning.

Second Chance – Accounts Will Be Reviewed

Despite his LoL ban, Tyler1 repeatedly created new accounts where he played League of Legends. He mostly did this while streaming. Viewers saw this, reported it to RiotGames, and they banned Tyler1’s new account. This game of cat and mouse went on for several months.

In between, Tyler1 played other games but continually tried to maintain an account in LoL. But the bans kept coming.

LoL Stream Ban Moment

Now there’s a new opportunity for the player, who claims to have significantly improved his behavior. Tyler1 says he is no longer the toxic player who was banned from League of Legends. He supposedly knows how to behave now and has emphasized this repeatedly in his streams. He finally got the chance to prove it. Riot allowed him to create LoL accounts again.

Employees from RiotGames will investigate the accounts Tyler1 played on in the last month. If these are “clean,” meaning they show no violations that would justify a ban, Tyler1 may officially play and stream League of Legends again starting January 2018.

In the coming days, RiotGames will provide a clear explanation of what changes are being made to ID bans, like that of Tyler1. There are now many questions that the team wants to answer.

Just recently, there was an uproar in the Tyler1 case when a (now former) employee of RiotGames wrote about the player: “It’s ok, he will die anyway from a cocaine overdose or testicular cancer from all the steroids … after that, we’re gucci”
