Destiny 2: The raid lasted 6 hours! – To celebrate, there is a new PvP map for everyone

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

The “best Destiny player” has struck again. He completed the Leviathan raid in Destiny 2 first.

Last night, on September 13 at 7 PM, the first raid in the history of Destiny 2: The Leviathan raid started. Bungie had called for a race: They would watch all guardians closely and then announce the fireteam that would successfully complete this raid first. Numerous guardians accepted this race and tried to achieve the “World First” run.

The fireteam “The Legend Himself” has now succeeded. This clan is known in the (especially English-speaking) community because it includes the guardian sc_Slayerage. He is considered one of the best Destiny players in the world, if not the best, who consistently pulls off amazing runs on his Youtube channel “The Legend Himself”.

Warning: Massive spoiler ahead!

The Legend Himself took about 6 hours to master the Leviathan raid. Bungie shared the final seconds of the raid via Twitter. We embed them here, watch at your own risk:

Emperor’s Respite as a PvP map for everyone

According to Bungie, it was a close race. Multiple teams could have been crowned. In the end, the victory went to The Legend Himself.

destiny-2-pvp-map

Now there should be a celebration for defeating the Leviathan raid. Bungie writes that just behind the winning clan was Lord Shaxx. The Crucible Overseer immediately set up a PvP map in this raid area. “Emperor’s Respite” is now available to all guardians in the Crucible:

You do not need to defeat the raid yourself to play on this new map.

A raid guide will be published on Mein-MMO.de in the coming hours, showing you how to get through the individual phases of the raid.

Update: Here you can find our guide to the Leviathan raid in Destiny 2.

The last raid race took place in October 2016, by the way. At that time, the Heroic mode of Wrath of the Machine only lasted 45 minutes. The Bus Drivers managed to snatch the “World First” for themselves and placed The Legend Himself in second place.

The matches in Ghost War are 4v4 deathmatches without respawn. If you want to fight again after dying, you have to hope to be revived. You fight in a best-of-three format against other teams. The team that has 2 wins first wins the match.

In the open beta, five of the eight maps will be available. You will have access to six of the twelve special classes, which are divided into the categories Assault, Marksman, and Support.

Ghost War Class Overview

  • In the Assault category, there is the Tank with heavy armor and an extra pack of health points. He is equipped with a light machine gun to suppress enemies. The new suppression mechanic with blurred vision is demonstrated in the video embedded above.
  • If you don’t want to deal with suppression fire, play the Pointman class. These guys are immune to it. Strong flanking potential!
  • If you prefer to play as a support, you can have fun with the Support classes. These can be equipped with drones to mark enemies. The Scout class can reveal enemies, and that’s important because …

Revealed enemies can then be bombed from existence with the … watch out: Artillery class! BOOM!

GRW Artillery
  • Snipers can mark enemies with their scope. Good positioning is important as a sniper to keep the enemy in sight while not exposing too much of yourself.
  • The Enforcer has a hefty LMG in his arsenal that provides even more suppression fire.

As you can see, revealing with drones is important. Knowing the enemy’s positions provides a clear advantage. Therefore, it’s also important to shoot down enemy drones to prevent your positions from being revealed.

If a team manages to capture the Recon Tower that activates in the middle of a match, it reveals the entire enemy team. The Snipers among you will appreciate this.

The six classes can be customized. The Tank, Pointman, Scout, Artillery, Sniper, and Enforcer classes can be fine-tuned with perks. For example, you can reveal an enemy simultaneously when you are revealed. Or you can increase your sprint speed.

PUBG: New Weapon Mini-14 in Action Video, Rules Against AFK Farmers

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

In the video you see the new “Mini 14” weapon from PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds). The developers also explain that AFK farming will soon come to an end.

When new weapons are introduced in a game, they need to be properly tested by the community first. How good is the weapon? Is it a good alternative in the meta or only valuable in specific situations?

The Mini-14 is the new DMR option in the battle royale shooter “PUBG”. In the video, you will see what the weapon can do. Additionally, the developers are taking action against AFK players – they will soon no longer receive points for doing nothing.

On the test servers, you can already see the new weapon and anti-AFK rule in action. Players on the live servers still have to wait for the update, which is expected to be released in the coming days.

The update with the new weapon is now available on the live servers. You can find the patch notes for the September update here

Mini 14 Test – The weapon in action in PUBG

As part of the new September update in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, you are gifted a new weapon. The weapon is not restricted to an airdrop, but can be found across the entire map.

On paper, the Mini-14 already makes a good impression. Although it does not have as high damage values as other DMRs (Designated Marksman Rifles), the developers claim that it compensates for this with fast muzzle fire and barely noticeable bullet drop.

PUBG Mini14

On the test servers, the PUBG community was able to try out the weapon before release and has been pleasantly surprised so far. Reddit user NeedChickenDinner writes:

“I tried the Mini-14 today. The first kill was an instant kill – 50 meters with 2x zoom. The second kill took a few shots at 200 meters with 4x zoom. I like the weapon so far. 20 bullets without magazine expansion is good. It feels good overall and the reduced bullet drop is noticeable.”

In the video by ThesaurusPG, you can see the Mini-14 in action with all upgrades during fog:

AFK Farming in PUBG? Not with Bluehole!

In recent weeks, some PUBG players have complained about the frequency of AFK players. These players exploited a vulnerability in the system and earned in-game currency by participating in games AFK.

With the earned battle points, these players bought cosmetic items and sold them for “real money” on the Steam market. We explain the AFK problem in PUBG in more detail here

With the September update in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, this “farming” is meant to be stopped. The developers at Bluehole report that they have taken away the idle players’ ability to earn battle points.

PuBG Title

“We have implemented rules that prevent AFK players from earning battle points,” it says in the patch notes for the September update in PUBG. The developers want to continue monitoring and improving the regulations in the future.

It is hard to say whether the new rules will completely solve the problem. However, the developers are already taking a step in the right direction.

The update also brings a new city full of loot. Additionally, foggy weather will soon be a feature of the live servers.

Heroes of the Storm: Professional gets banned – Just before an important tournament

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time < 1 minutes

Even professionals feel the ban hammer in Heroes of the Storm. One of them might have temporarily put his career on hold because of this.

Heroes of the Storm suffers, like almost all major MOBAs, from a significant problem and that is the toxic community. If the team does not dance to their own whistle, some players easily lose their composure and simply quit. To ensure that such players are punished after an outburst, there is the reporting system.

However, many players wonder: Does reporting actually help? Does it have consequences for the accounts of those affected?

The answer is probably: Yes, it does. Maksym Szczypa, better known as Mopsio from Team Zealot, has recently experienced it firsthand (digitally).

Strange stream exposes toxic behavior

It became noticeable in a game of the streamer Mewnfarez. He played in the Hero League and was matched with Mopsio in a game. Mopsio behaved not only like a bull in a china shop in the chat, but also refused to participate properly in the game after a while. You can watch it in this short clip:

The whole thing was spread on Reddit and barely 12 hours later, there was a response from Blizzard: Mopsio has behaved unsportingly and consequently receives a 7-day game ban.

Particularly frustrating: As a result, he cannot participate in the Heroes Global Championship (HGC) matches, and Team Zealot has to find a substitute player.

Overall, this is a nice example that even professionals cannot get away with everything.

What do you think of this approach? A good decision from Blizzard? Or should one rather turn a blind eye when it comes to such large tournaments?

HotS might soon get new heroes – Hanzo or even the dragon lady Alexstrasza!

LoL: “Drive straight through to China” – TSM not welcome in South Korea

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The stars of League of Legends, “Team Solo Mid”, are planning a training stay in South Korea to prepare for the Worlds in LoL. Fans in South Korea are not pleased with them.

According to the Korean site Inven, there are atmospheric disturbances between Korean LoL fans and the star team from the USA, Team Solo Mid.

Sparring matches leaked in 2016

In a post from September 5, Inven reported: TSM is coming to Korea for a bootcamp. There were some negative comments from the Korean community under the post.

Especially the former performance coach Weldon Green is not well-liked among fans in South Korea.

One wrote: “Everyone can come, even the Chinese teams, but not TSM! Just go straight to China!”

TSM LoL

Usually, Inven writes, South Korean fans are very hospitable and happy when teams come to their country, but that is not the case with TSM.

Apparently, there is a tradition ahead of major tournaments to hold sparring matches (scrims) between the teams. These are strictly confidential; strategies and tactics should remain secret before the important World Championships. In 2016, videos of sparring matches between TSM and the South Korean top team SKT T1 were leaked to the public.

The fans in South Korea have not forgotten that. The accusation: “In this way, the strategies of SKT T1 could become public before the tournament.”

TSM September

TSM stated that they did not publish this themselves, but a hacker. However, the Korean fans believe: “Then that is due to your weak security and you should have been more careful.”

The former TSM coach Weldon Green had said at that time that the hack was facilitated by the disadvantage of being away. They had to take the train to South Korea; if they had stayed in the USA, they would have had professional conditions and this wouldn’t have happened.

The incident has been hanging in the air since 2016. Other LoL teams are also concerned whether sparring matches will really remain confidential.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07WlEP5lGd8

Jabs against the Koreans

However, that is not the only reason why TSM is not well-liked in South Korea. After their defeat during the 2016 Worlds against the Korean team SSG, TSM allegedly refused to shake hands after the game, Inven writes.

Furthermore, Weldon Green reportedly said on Reddit that the Koreans are very, very nationalistic. And during the boot camps, they only let teams from Europe and North America play against low-ranking Korean teams to gain information without revealing any.

As you can see: Atmospheric tensions between different nationalities exist in eSport just like in conventional sports.

The photos in the article were taken from the Facebook account of TSM.

Destiny 2 Raid: Be live at the start! – Livestream of the Leviathan Raid

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2 , the raid starts today! Join us live here in the livestream as the Leviathan raid opens its doors for the first time.

Update: The raid has been cracked! Here you will find our guide to the Leviathan raid in Destiny 2.

Countless Guardians have been looking forward to September 13, 2017. Because today is the day the first raid in Destiny 2 starts.

A raid launch is always a major event in Destiny. There are several reasons for this:

  • Little is known in advance about the raids. Even in Destiny 2, we do not know what enemies to expect in the raid, what mechanics need to be tackled, or what secrets are hidden. All Guardians start with no prior knowledge.
  • Therefore, at the start, there are no guides or step-by-step instructions available online. Everyone is allowed or has to figure out for themselves how the raid progresses. For many, this is the best and most intense Destiny experience, which many Guardians look forward to every time.
  • Bungie will also announce the “World’s First” for this raid. The fireteam that masters the raid first will gain fame and honor. Some Guardians see the raid launch as a race. Many other Guardians prefer to approach the raid launch more leisurely.

Spoilers ahead!

Raid launch in the Twitch livestream

The kickoff occurs on September 13 at 7 PM. If you can’t start directly at 7 PM, you can watch our friend Nexxoss Gaming as he and his fireteam tackle the raid. We will embed the Twitch stream for you:

https://www.twitch.tv/nexxossgaming

Update: The raid is live. It’s on to the Leviathan. One must be at least 260 Power Level.

Some information about the setting of the raids leaked in advance. According to the trophy description, the raid is called “Leviathan”. Additionally, it is likely located on or near Nessus, as the supposed Leviathan was spotted in the skybox during the beta.

And what dangers might await in this Leviathan – there are already hints…

Die 10 besten Stürmer in FIFA 18 FUT

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

The best strikers in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team (FUT 18) can be found here in the “Top 10” ranking. We also provide ratings and player values for the strikers. Three good strikers from the Bundesliga are included.

Every Ultimate Team needs players with a “predator mentality.” If you only have players on the field who can pass the ball well but can’t score, you won’t win any matches.

A striker with a strong finishing ability can help with that. Ideally, he is also tall, has excellent heading ability, and high pace ratings. However, such players are rare, and if you want to have a top striker in your team, you either need an outrageous amount of coins or enormous luck in pack openings. Because the best predators are rare, coveted – and expensive.

But which strikers actually have top ratings? Let’s take a look at the best strikers in FUT 18.

Ranking of the best strikers in FIFA 18 – Three good strikers from the Bundesliga are included

The following list contains only strikers (ST) and centre forwards (CF). Other offensive positions such as wingers are not included. Please note that the list only shows the standard cards at the launch of FIFA 18 – in the future, some of these players will certainly receive special cards, such as TOTW cards.

These are the top 10 strikers in FUT 18:

  • Place 10: Romelu Lukaku – Manchester United

In the top 10, three players from the Bundesliga are included. The Premier League is also represented three times. La Liga has two players in the top 10, while the French and Italian leagues each have one striker in the list.

Worlds Adrift: Less Alone – New Update Aiming to Promote Group Play

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The MMORPG Worlds Adrift is an online game where much is played alone. This is set to change with an upcoming update.

Some aspects of the game are designed for solo play. Because being surrounded by other players all the time is not particularly beneficial for the survival aspect of Worlds Adrift.

However, this does not mean that you are alone all the time. After all, it is an MMORPG, and there are many group activities to engage in.

Worlds Adrift 05

Crew members will find each other faster

To promote this group play more, the developers are currently working on an update. One problem was for the crew of an airship to reunite when separated. A new and improved “signal fire” is set to help with this. With the new signal fire, you can teleport to the crew leader at any time, no matter where they are – provided that they are in an area you have already been to.

Group play is encouraged

Worlds Adrift ship

Additionally, a new crew reviver will be introduced. If you are defeated in a battle, this reviver will ensure that you respawn on your ship and are quickly available with your crew again. These new features should ensure that you can interact better as a crew. Playing together in the group should be more enjoyable after the update.

 Currently, there is no date yet for when this update for the MMORPG Worlds Adrift will be released.

Cayde-6 has new treasure maps for you in Destiny 2. We show you where to find the treasures.

Once you have completed the Destiny 2 campaign, Cayde-6 has new tasks for you. He sells treasure maps for 4800 Glimmer that lead you to treasures with delicious loot.

These treasure chests can contain various items, from mods and emblems to blue and legendary items, as well as exotic engrams! Sometimes, there are also strange things like diary entries that you can turn in to Cayde-6.

The treasure maps count as weekly activities. This means that every week at the Weekly Reset on Tuesday there are new treasure maps. This week (since September 12th), Cayde-6 sends you to Nessus, where the treasures are hidden.

Treasure Locations on Nessus

Once you have purchased a treasure map, the treasure will be marked on the Nessus map with a spade symbol. These symbols look like this:

Gigantic bekommt einen steinharten Helden – Rutger, das Gürteltier

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

The hero shooter Gigantic is growing. A new hero named Rutger is coming – a tough armadillo! Additionally, there are new skins for existing heroes and monsters.

Gigantic Rutger 02

The colorful and fast-paced hero shooter Gigantic is getting new heroes. The new update “Into Solitude” brings two new monsters that you can summon. Additionally, there is a new hero named Rutger as well as another milestone for player numbers.

Gigantic – New Hero Rutger – Armadillo is suitable as a tank and CC

The new hero Rutger is as quirky as the rest of the Gigantic hero crew. Rutger is a curious mix of an armadillo and a badger. Rutger is tough thanks to his shield and can take a lot of damage. This makes him a good tank. He can also shape the battlefield and slow down enemies.

The following skills are brought into battle by the tough armadillo Rutger:

  • Clawing Attack: A quick melee attack that also recharges Rutger’s shield
  • Earth Shock: A charged ability that stuns the enemy in the area with two hits and then knocks them back
  • Burrow: With this skill, Rutger can hide in the ground and thus flee or attack undisturbed
  • Rock Barrier: Similar to Mei’s Ice Wall from Overwatch, Rutger can create barriers to stop the enemy
  • Rock ’N‘ Roll: Rutger’s ultimate allows him to roll forward as an armored ball and knock back enemies. Rutger is immune to crowd control abilities during this.
https://youtu.be/b8YqFfMfGSg

Additionally, there will be further skins for the heroes Uncle Sven, Wu, and Charnok in the coming days. On September 19th, there will be a monk skin for the frog Wei and a stone cerberus. On September 26th, the “Riftborn Cyclops” will join, and Uncle Sven will receive a “Flower Power Skin”. On October 3rd, a flame student skin for Charnok will follow.

Leya Jankowski Leya Jankowski Reading time 2 minutes

Hand of the Gods (HotG) is now available for free on Steam in Early Access for download. The collectible card strategy game is from Hi-Rez and is based on the god MOBA SMITE. Players have more than just the turn-based card game at their disposal, as there is also a game board. On it, mythological and god-like figures battle each other, which adds a deeper layer of strategy to Hand of the Gods. 

From now on, Hand of the Gods: Smite Tactics can be downloaded and played for free on Steam. The turn-based strategy game will be available to players there under the title Early Access.

This is how the gameplay of Hand of the Gods works:

  • You build an army with game cards of mythological and god-like figures. There are also items like cannons.
  • You take on the role of a high god like Zeus or Ra and wage war against another god.
  • Your deck contains mystical creatures, soldiers, and spells. These cost mana, which you gain and must allocate throughout the game.
  • When you play a creature or soldier card, they are summoned to the battlefield.
  • Each of the two players has a summoner stone. Whoever is the first to destroy the opponent’s summoner stone wins.
  • The summoner stone can be attacked by the army on the game board and by spells. The creatures and mythological figures can also attack each other.
  • Each leader of a pantheon has unique skills, allowing Ra to heal his army or Zeus to boost attack power.

Steam launch comes with new features & new starter pack

Hand of the Gods has been playable for a while via Hi-Rez’s own launcher. A solid player base and community have already formed here, providing substantial feedback to the developers. With the Steam launch, there are new features that the community has long wished for.

“We have taken the feedback from our community and implemented several features that will enhance the gaming experience. Launching Hand of the Gods on Steam is a big step for us. We are excited that many new players will develop their own play styles.” – Scott Lussier, Lead Designer of Hand of the Gods”

New features include:

  • Overhaul of the combat log
  • Clans
  • Deck tracker

With the launch of Hand of the Gods on Steam, a new starter pack will also be released, which contains 7 basic card packs and a skin for Ra, the leader of the Egyptian pantheon. Additional card packs can be earned in-game.

Hand of the Gods will be updated regularly and will receive new cards frequently. A seventh pantheon will soon be introduced: The Hindu pantheon. This will be led by the god Ganesha and will include new god, creature, and spell cards.

Mirage Arcane Warfare: Free Play Noses – From 8 Players to 43,000

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The online action game Mirage: Arcane Warfare was on the brink of collapse. With eight players active at the same time, no online game can be sustained in the long run.

The developers of Mirage: Arcane Warfare decided to launch a free promotion. Last weekend, on September 9th and 10th, everyone could get the online game for free and keep it. It is now back on sale at a discounted price. This promotion seems to have saved the game – at least for now.

Player numbers have risen sharply

According to Steamcharts, during peak times of the free promotion, there were more than 43,000 players active simultaneously. This is a huge jump, but it has since leveled off. The number of players has currently stabilized around 830 simultaneous players.

Steamspy reports that around 1.2 million players own the online game. This means that a significant number of players acquired the title over the free weekend. It is estimated that around 1 million new players have joined.

The free promotion was a success

The developers are very enthusiastic about the promotion. The experiment worked and was a great success. The influx of players even caused some server problems, which are now being addressed. A patch is expected to be released soon.

It remains to be seen whether Mirage: Arcane Warfare can maintain its player base. We will find out in the coming weeks.

Pokémon GO: Update 0.75.0 tackles these bugs and errors.

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 3 minutes

The new Pokémon GO update 0.75.0 is the biggest update in terms of bug fixes since the game’s release. We will show you which issues are to be addressed.

Quite surprisingly, some trainers found the update 0.75.0 in the Play Stores yesterday. The update is currently rolling out and will be unlocked gradually for different players.

Pokémon experts from TheSilphRoad have focused on data mining regarding the changes in the updates. It quickly became apparent that the developers aimed to address many bugs with this patch. We will show you which ones here.

Patch 0.75.0 / 1.45.0 APK Data Mining

As soon as a new update is available via APK, experts use their software tools to examine all changes in the updates. Often, developers hide details and do not disclose everything that a new update entails.

Pokémon GO Zapdos Title 3

When data mining update 0.75.0, it is noticeable that it is the largest bug-fixing update since the release of the game. While the developers are likely already working on the next major updates, they are currently focusing on the stability of the game.

In recent weeks, trainers have noticed many bugs and issues that are to be fixed now.

Missing Icons in PokéDex

The last update (0.73.0) introduced a bug in Pokémon GO that caused the icons of Pokémon in the PokéDex to disappear. In the new update 0.75.0, some fixes have been implemented to address these PokéDex issues.

A lot of code has been rewritten and various lines completely removed. In the coming days, it should become clear whether these changes can actually resolve the issues.

Invisible Avatar / Incorrect Textures

Trainers have already reported that the texture issues in the new patch 0.75.0 have not yet been fully resolved. However, there are solutions in the update that at least make the bug appear less frequently. This should prevent interesting images like in the following screenshot from occurring as often:

Arena Attack Animations

This bug fix seems to eliminate the attack animations that were incorrectly displayed under an avatar. Players appeared to have superpowers because of this. You’ll probably have to say goodbye to the Clark Kent power.

Raid Zoom Bug

In the code, experts found lines indicating a bug fix for arena intros. Sometimes a sequence was played twice, zooming into the game.

Raid Lobby Bug

The frequency at which a raid lobby is rendered has been changed. The developers may have made these changes to more accurately determine the number of lobby players. Initial reports indicate that the issues have not completely disappeared yet.

New Debugging Tools

With new tools, Niantic apparently aims to avoid or combat future issues. These affect arena battles and the game’s performance.

Pokémon GO

The experts from TheSilphRoad emphasize once again that this is one of the largest changes concerning improved game performance.

We hope that you will all receive the update in the coming days and benefit from the bug fixes.

Hopefully, there will be fewer bugs in the game by the time the third generation is released. We have already thought about which monsters might spawn only in certain parts of the world. Regional Pokémon of the 3rd Gen in Pokémon GO – Our suggestions

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 3 minutes

MIDA Multi-Tool in Destiny 2 – how to get the MIDA Multi-Tool and the MIDA Mini-Tool. This is how the Exotic quest works, these are the special perks! Guide.

The MIDA Multi-Tool was one of the most popular and best weapons in Destiny 1 – for years. It was an exotic scout rifle that felt really good and performed with deadly precision in both PvE and PvP.

In Destiny 2, it is making a comeback.

To obtain the MIDA Multi-Tool, you first need the MIDA Mini-Tool. How do you get both weapons?

MIDA Mini-Tool – Location – Quest

Your first task is to successfully complete the story campaign of Destiny 2. You cannot access any MIDA before that.

After the campaign, quests will be unlocked in all four worlds. You can recognize these quests by a crown symbol on a blue background.

For the MIDA Quest, you need to accept the quest line “Expand” in the European Dead Zone. It is located near Devrim Kay. The recommended power level is 260.

This quest line consists of several steps where you get to heat things up against the Fallen. The steps are self-explanatory. Just follow the instructions. Only when you have mastered them all will you receive the MIDA Mini-Tool from Devrim Kay. Nexxoss Gaming shows you the quest steps in detail:

The MIDA Mini-Tool is a legendary submachine gun with solar damage. It has the special perk of granting speed bonuses when you also have the MIDA Multi-Tool equipped. This means there are synergy effects. The intrinsic perk of the Mini-Tool is that you can move faster.

Important Note: Make sure you have an energy weapon slot free when you receive the weapon. There is currently a problem that the MIDA Mini-Tool is not being sent correctly to the post office. You may not receive the weapon until Bungie resolves the issue. Therefore, ensure a free slot to avoid the post office problem. Update: The problem has been resolved. You can pick up the weapon from Devrim Kay.

  • Once that’s done, return to the Gunsmith. You should dismantle scout rifles of Rare (blue) quality or higher. After dismantling 5, you can continue.
  • Banshee-44 has another task for you: You need to achieve 50 submachine gun kills from the air. So take your MIDA Mini-Tool, jump in the air, and blast the enemies below you.
  • After this, return to the Gunsmith, and he will hand you the MIDA Multi-Tool.

Destiny 2: Guide Games are live – Information for Clans and Solo Players

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 4 minutes

In Destiny 2, the guide games mode is active. What do guide clans and solo players need to know? What about the tickets?

To allow Guardians who are not in a clan to participate in endgame group activities such as the Nightfall strike or the raid, Bungie developed Guided Games for Destiny 2 – the guide games.

In these endgame activities, there is no “normal” player search where players are randomly matched. In Destiny 1, players had to organize themselves in forums and social networks to form a fireteam for these activities. Many did not go through this effort, resulting in a large portion of the player base never completing a raid.

destiny-2-raid

The guide games aim to change that.

What are guide games and when are they active? – Guide Games Beta

The guide games allow solo Guardians to find a clan directly in-game that will guide them through the selected endgame activity. The search works similarly to a dating app: The solo Guardian is shown a clan along with its emblem and description. If the clan appeals to them, they can choose that clan and join it for the challenge. If not, they can display a new clan.

This aims to connect players with clans that are compatible to provide the best possible experience.

The guide games are not fully available at the launch of Destiny 2:

  • A guide games beta is taking place from September 13 to September 26, 2017, which is only active for the Nightfall strike. During this time, all clans can serve as guide clans, but only solo players who have received a guide games ticket at the post office may participate. Only about 30%-50% of the Guardians are expected to have received a ticket. Bungie wants to avoid having too many seekers and too few guide clans in the early days.
  • From September 26 at 7 PM, 100% access to searching for the raid and Nightfall strike is expected. After that, the beta will end.
    destiny-2-arms-dealer-strike

Joining a guide game – What do seekers and guide clans need to consider? – Nightfall Tickets

You can start a guide game as a solo player or as a guide clan. Each role has different requirements.

Seeker (Solo Player):

  • You start the activity by clicking on the orange symbol next to it. Now select the option “Seeker” under “Select Mode”.
  • You must fulfill all joining requirements, such as power level. For the Nightfall strike, it is 240 Power.
  • You need at least one guide games ticket for the activity to join as a seeker. In the beta, 12 Nightfall strike tickets are granted. The tickets will be reset at each season reset. This means you cannot participate in guide games an unlimited number of times. The duration of a season is not known.
  • The clan status of a seeker does not matter.

Clan Guides:

  • You start the activity by clicking on the orange symbol next to it. Now select the option “Guide” under “Select Mode”.
  • Participants must fulfill all joining requirements, such as power level.
  • If a clan offers a guide game, at least half of the fireteam must consist of members of the same clan. Specifically, for the Nightfall strike, two members must belong to the same clan, while for the raid, three players must belong to the same clan. There are also expected to be guide games for 4-player fireteams (probably the Trials), where two members must belong to the same clan.
  • Clan guides do not need a ticket.

Guardian Oath and Guardian Oath Score

In the clan overview in the game, there is a so-called “Guardian Oath Score” below the clan level. This is related to the guide games:

  • Before starting a guide game, both seekers and guides are prompted to accept the Guardian Oath. This states that they will be helpful, attentive, mindful, willing to teach/learn, and friendly.
  • The Guardian Oath Score then indicates how well a clan adheres to the Guardian Oath. This means: A better score is awarded when successfully completing or amicably finishing guide game activities.
  • Seekers can view a clan’s Guardian Oath Score while searching for a clan for the guide game.
    destiny-2-hüter-vex

Leaving a guide game, penalties, and bans

Every participant in a guide game can leave the game before completing the activity, but penalties may occur if the fireteam does not agree.

  • Cancellation: Players who cancel without agreement receive a time penalty. They will then be unable to start a new guide game for a limited time. Once a player leaves the match with a penalty, all other players can leave the activity without penalty.
  • Agreeing to quit: If a player wants to leave the activity without penalty, they can summon their ghost and “agree to quit”. The other fireteam members can then also summon their ghosts and agree to quit, allowing the player to leave without penalty.
  • If someone violates the code of conduct in the clan motto, clan name, or “About Us” description, they may be warned and banned. With a warning, you can change the entries immediately and participate in guide games again, while bans can mean you cannot do so for 7 days, 30 days, or ever again. Bans can also be permanent.

Are you guides or seekers?

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds receives a new city full of loot

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) is still played on a single map, but this area is becoming more extensive and bountiful. The reason is a new town called Kameshki in the north of the map, where plenty of loot but also great danger awaits.

In PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, millions of players have been slaughtering each other for months on the same map. The lonely island in a rundown Eastern Bloc style, however, is not static. Rather, the developers constantly change things or even add entire cities.

PUBG 02

Therefore, a new settlement called Kameshki will soon be located in the northeast of the map!

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – New Town Kameshki – The Rocky Road to Loot

PUBG Map

Kameshki is currently located on the test servers of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds in the northeast – just east of the place Stalber – by the coast. While you are quite away from the shot, according to players on the test server, Kameshki is said to be overflowing with loot!

Particularly, sniper scopes are allegedly lying around in abundance there. Additionally, the stylish Tommy Gun is supposed to spawn regularly there. The iconic gangster firearm from the 30s was previously only available from dropped loot crates. However, it is now said to be a regular, rare weapon spawn.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – Is the Trip to Kameshki Worth It?

With all that cool loot, the trip to Kameshki should actually be a matter of course for every player of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. But before you all head to the northeast of the island, keep the following in mind:

  • On the test server (and likely on the live servers later as well), Kameshki is currently a chaotic scene. Masses of players are vying for the fat loot, so it can get quite brutal in this little town.
  • Kameshki is extremely far from the island center. So, you may not have much time to get there and especially to escape the city when the energy field continues to expand.
PUBG 04

So think carefully about whether you really want to go to Kameshki and put yourself through that stress. Alternatively, you can just ambush the routes to Kameshki, take out loot-filled players, and comfortably loot their stuff.

The new town Kameshki will arrive later this month with the large update in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.

Betrayal in EVE Online – Intrigues like from Game of Thrones

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

In the space spectacle EVE Online memorable things are happening again. One of the largest alliances, the Circle of Two, has been pushed to the brink by betrayal. The nefarious mastermind of the opponents seems to be triumphing.

EVE Online is an epic space simulation for most players about trade, wars, and adventures. For outsiders, the game has the charm of a well-organized Excel spreadsheet. For the most powerful players, EVE is like “Game of Thrones in space.”

If winning militarily isn’t possible … then a juicy intrigue might still bring success.

EVE Battle

The Empire Strikes Back

The controversial group “Goonswarm” is led in EVE Online by a person named Alex Gianturco, who calls himself “The Mittani.” He often presents himself as a dark, tyrannical villain. The survival MMO H1Z1 once hired the group to stir trouble in their game. The idea was: The rest of the players should have something to hate and fight against.

Goonswarm was involved in a major conflict in 2016, including with the alliance “Circle of Two.” It did not go well for “Goonswarm” – they took quite a beating against a large coalition of opponents. The war was called “World War Bee.” Goonswarm could only retreat against this overpowering force and lick their wounds.

One of the important people from Circle of Two is known as “The Judge.” According to Polygon, The Judge recently traveled to Iceland and attended a session of the player council there. During this real-life meeting, he is said to have been persuaded by Goonswarm members to betray his alliance. It is said that The Judge was turned.

EVE Online

The Judge Betrays Alliance, Steals Trillions

Now The Judge has cheated the alliance Circle-of-Two out of trillions of ISK in the game. Moreover, he has handed over the powerful space stations to the enemies. According to reports from PC Gamer, thousands of Circle-of-Two pilots are currently stranded with no home.

The enemies are also laying siege to the Keepstar citadel of Circle of Two, which is the EVE version of a Death Star.

The leader of Circle of Two, gigX, was apparently asleep while all this was happening. When he later woke up, he was so enraged about this betrayal and the coup that he threatened to cut off The Judge’s hands. He said: “The Judge, feel free to use your hands to type here … as long as you still can.” Before that, he had inquired in the alliance chat about The Judge’s real name, address, and other details.

He did this in the alliance chat – which was streamed publicly on Twitch by The Judge and others.

This led to a ban by developers CCP. The alliance is therefore also without an official leader in the game.

As you can imagine, the “evil spacelord,” The Mittani, is in a great mood on Twitter in the meantime. On Twitter, he celebrates his success and enjoys the delicious revenge.
