The 3rd Gen has been added in the latest update to Pokémon GO. This is great news! We’ll show you what is known.
The latest update for Pokémon GO (0.71.0) is currently being rolled out. Data miners quickly check what has changed in the game’s code compared to the old version with new updates. And a lot has changed with the new update. The train to the “third generation” has left!
3rd Gen in Pokémon GO
Hold on tight or buckle up – preferably both. In the code of the new Pokémon GO update, there are 135 new species. It’s time for the first hype of the third generation!
All 135 new species belong to the 3rd Generation and are included in the APK metadata. The new Pokémon also include 73 new types of candies. These include candies for the monster Treecko as well as Deoxys.
However, you shouldn’t expect the Pokémon to spawn in the wild right away with the new update. It will take longer, as sound files and possible new moves still need to be added to the game before the release of the 3rd Generation in Pokémon GO. These are still missing.
There is currently no official date. This is not surprising, as Niantic has not even announced the third generation themselves. We can make a rough estimate based on the release of the 2nd Generation.
In update 0.45.0, the monsters of the 2nd Generation appeared for the first time. This news reached us on November 7, 2016. Then we had to wait more than three months until Niantic officially announced the release of the 2nd Generation on February 15, 2017. At that time, there were about 80 new monsters. We expect a similar or longer waiting period for the release of the 3rd Generation. As soon as we have more info on this, we will inform you.
With the release of Destiny 2 on PC, Bungie is venturing into new territory. This has led many players to express doubts about the suitability of the PC version. The community manager has now elaborated on what PC players can expect.
At the Nvidia conference during this year’s Gamescom 2017, Bungie’s community manager, Deej, went into more detail about the features of the PC version and emphasized that PC players are treated as “first-class citizens” – meaning equally with players on PS4 and Xbox One.
The PC version is not simply a console port, but has been developed from the ground up for the most powerful hardware.
What features does the PC version offer?
Some features like the open framerate were already known. In addition to a field-of-view adjustment option and support for SLI (using multiple Nvidia graphics cards), particularly the support for voice and text chat as well as HDR is likely to excite players.
HDR (High Dynamic Range) provides better contrasts and “more vibrant” colors. Although many gamers already have an HDR-capable TV in their living room, the console version of Destiny 2 will initially forgo HDR, as Bungie explained a few weeks ago. HDR is therefore currently PC-exclusive. However, this feature is expected to be added to consoles soon.
This allows text chat to explain to players without a headset what they did wrong in a raid. This is a feature that is not available on consoles and should prevent a lot of frustration – especially in the Guided Games.
The 4K support and the support for ultra-wide monitors were also mentioned again.
On August 24, a so-called “Game Ready Driver” for the Destiny 2 beta will be available for download according to Nvidia. Nvidia also announced that they will be giving away beta codes in the near future. Additionally, a special GeForce GTX 1080 TI bundle will be released.
Robert says: The features of the PC version show that Bungie has invested a lot to excite PC players for Destiny 2. In particular, the announcement of text chat should save frustration for players who cannot or do not want to use a headset.
Black Desert Online is not only coming to Xbox One, but it will also run in 4K on Xbox One X. At Gamescom 2017, you can already play a demo and see the quality of the game for yourself.
Black Desert Online is an action-packed sandbox MMO that impresses with dynamic combat and phenomenal graphics. Even character creation is a dream and allows you to assemble all conceivable heroes to your heart’s content.
This graphical splendor is also supposed to come into its own on the Xbox One.
Black Desert Online – Play the Xbox version live at Gamescom
In addition to the version for the regular Xbox One, there will be an upgraded version of Black Desert Online for the Xbox One X. The Xbox One X version additionally offers support for 4K and should therefore look even more magnificent.
If you want to see all this live, you don’t have to wait until the release in early 2018. The Xbox version of Black Desert Online can be tried out by any fan at Gamescom 2017 in Cologne.
Just head to the Microsoft booth in Hall 8.2 and stand in line. With a little patience, you will get to play and can try the game as a warrior, fighter, witch, or ranger.
Update 7 PM: Bungie has just released a second teaser. Ghaul tells us that humanity never deserved the power (of the Traveler) and that now our light belongs to him. The sun continues to darken:

The gamescom week 2017 has begun! Many publishers and game developers use the stage of this huge gaming fair to promote their upcoming games and release trailers that whet the fans’ appetites.
Bungie and Activision are also not hiding at gamescom: They just announced that today, on August 21 at 8 PM, the launch trailer for Destiny 2 will be revealed.
As soon as it’s released, we will embed it here. We have embedded it above.
“A Day Without Light Awaits Us”
The announcement was made via Twitter with the headline that a day without light awaits us. They also posted a short video online under the hashtag #SolarEclipse2017 – so solar eclipse 2017.

This is clever marketing – because today a solar eclipse will be visible in the USA. This hashtag also fits Destiny 2, as with the arrival of Ghaul, our sun is in danger.
Because at the end of the official gameplay trailer for Destiny 2, released in May, a sun explodes. We have marked the spot for you:

You see a gigantic weapon firing a blue beam into the sun. Then the sun explodes and directly destroys the nearest planet.
The only question is whether we will really see our sun explode in this trailer. Many Guardians speculate that this is just a kind of flashback, showing us what the Cabal are capable of.
In other words, the Cabal can blow up the sun. And our job as Guardians will be to prevent this “solar eclipse”. About this, only speculation can currently be made.
We will know more at 8 PM. We will update this article immediately.
Regarding the question of whether the Cabal will destroy our sun in Destiny 2, we have already addressed it here:
WoW players had to suffer because the beta for Destiny 2 was announced – the WoW token briefly shot up in price.
On August 13, some details about the PC beta of Destiny 2 were revealed. This caused a stir not only in the Destiny community but also made some waves in
However, the boom did not last particularly long. Shortly after the announcement, the price fell back to a low of recent weeks – 223,406 gold. Afterwards, it stabilized at its current “normal value” of around 240,000 gold.
What is the WoW token?
The WoW token was implemented to give players a way to pay subscription fees without using real money. Wealthy players can buy the token with real money and offer it for gold in the auction house. Those who have a lot of gold buy the token and convert it into a subscription.
Alternatively, the token can be exchanged for currency for the Battle.net shop. This allows other Blizzard games to be paid for, such as Hearthstone card packs, Overwatch loot boxes, or even entire games – like Destiny 2.
By the way: Since the introduction of the WoW token, prices have continued to rise. It’s hard to imagine that the token only cost a mere 35,000 gold at its launch in April 2015. Those who stocked up on tokens back then are probably laughing now.
Are you using the WoW token to get into Destiny 2? Or do you buy tokens and farm other WoW players for gold?
The trailer for FIFA 18 has been released at Gamescom 2017! In it, you can see the “dramatic moments”.
Today, on August 21, EA Sports unveiled a fresh trailer for FIFA 18 during a livestream at Gamescom 2017. The upcoming football simulation will be playable at the gaming fair in Cologne, and now the developers want to really hype FIFA 18.
We are embedding the trailer here for you:

Müller, Griezmann, and Cristiano Ronaldo showcase plenty of goals
According to EA Sports, you will see the dramatic moments in this new trailer with which they promote FIFA 18:
New movement and finishing animations ensure even smoother shots and headers, and for even more dramatic goals, and the new crossing control gives you various options to play the ball into the penalty area. Smooth crosses to the middle or to the far post provide new variety in finding the best possible passing option.
In the Gamescom trailer, you will see some skill moves, goals, and the stadium atmosphere, which is set to be elevated to a new level in FIFA 18. This is made possible by the Frostbite engine, which first entered the FIFA series with FIFA 17.
Stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Griezmann, Müller, Neuer, Pogba, or Alli are featured in the trailer. Also, one or two coaches can be seen.
FIFA 18 will be released on September 29 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC and in a scaled-down version also on PS3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Switch. If you pre-order certain editions, you will receive 3 days of early access. All information about FIFA 18 editions can be read here.
The Gamescom presents the new map of Overwatch – on top of that, there is a crazy cinematic in Junkertown!
In preparation for Gamescom 2017, Blizzard has already presented a small preview intended to set the stage for the highlights of the gaming fair. For Overwatch, the Junkertown speculations of the last few weeks have come true – there is a new map.
Junkertown is the home of Junkrat and Roadhog and the main base of the Junkers – a large gang of scavengers who make a living from the remnants of a failed civilization.

To promote the map a little better, Blizzard even created its own Machinima – a small video in game graphics. Accordingly, Junkrat and Roadhog have been banished from Junkertown and put out on the streets. As revenge, the two are now devising a brilliant plan to take their revenge on the Junkers.
As is fitting for Junkrat, the plan includes a big bomb that must be brought deep into the Junkers’ home. Roadhog seems to be the brain of the duo and has to approve all plans first – because Junkrat’s ideas are not very well thought out.

Junkertown is an escort map. There will be a payload that must be escorted from the start of the map to the heart of Junkertown’s base.
By the way, the video shown is not the new “Animated Short” – that will only be presented in the coming days at Gamescom. The video above is simply meant to show the story of the new map – Junkrat’s big plan.
How do you like this type of cinematic? Funny and interesting or too silly? Should Blizzard just stick to the Animated Shorts?
Just in time for the start of gamescom, Blizzard releases an interesting project: a short animated film about Heroes of the Storm. In the style of a 90s cartoon, the game studio simultaneously announces the new hero: Kel’Thuzad!
After the data for the hero was already found in the first days of the alpha, it went quiet about the Lord of Naxxramas. With the appearance of Jaina, who received many of the abilities originally associated with Kel’Thuzad, the idea of the Lich seemed repurposed.

Most players – myself included – no longer expected KT to make it into the game as a character. Accordingly, this trailer inspires excitement for what is yet to come and shows that Heroes is more than just Blizzard’s unwanted stepchild!
Kel’Thuzad’s spotlight video will be presented live on Wednesday at gamescom. All his abilities will be on display.
In addition to the Lich, three skins have also been announced to be released alongside the patch “Call of Kel’Thuzad“: Cryptqueen Zagara, Deathknight Sonya, and Dreadlord Jaina – already stylized in the film.
In recent weeks, you were able to catch many Kangama and Icognito in Pokémon GO , but they have now disappeared.
The joy among the trainers was great when Niantic announced a more frequent spawn of Kangama and Icognito a few weeks ago. But now this special safari event is over. For several hours, there have been no increased spawns of these rare Pokémon.
Icognito and Kangama disappeared again
Since this afternoon, reports of Kangama and Icognito have been decreasing. The event is now apparently over and the rare Pokémon will spawn as usual again. Hopefully, you’ve already caught a few of the desired monsters and are not too late. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait for the next safari event, where you might get another chance to catch them.
More than two weeks ago, on August 4, Niantic announced that suddenly rare monsters would appear in Europe. This referred to Icognito and Kangama, which are otherwise quite rare to see. Kangama usually only appears in Australia.
The surprising event received a lot of support, and trainers from all over Germany made the journey to one of the event cities to catch these rare monsters. And they were indeed frequent there. In our Facebook group, many trainers reported just a few hours after the event started that the cities were besieged and Kangama and Icognito could be found everywhere. It quickly became clear that Icognito appeared in the forms of E, U, R, O, and P – together they formed the word “Europe”.
We reveal how to defeat Lana’thel, Plaguebringer, and Sindragosa in Knights of the Frozen Throne from Hearthstone .
The latest Hearthstone expansion has been live for over a week. Not only has Knights of the Frozen Throne brought 135 new cards, but also a fresh solo adventure. The corresponding wings are being released weekly. Currently, the second wing is open, providing players with three new bosses to face. We reveal how to defeat all three bosses of the Upper Citadel of Knights of the Frozen Throne.
How to Defeat Blood Queen Lana’thel (Blood Queen Lana’thel) in Hearthstone
The first boss of the second wing should be quite familiar to WoW players. The mechanics of Blood Queen Lana’thel are almost identical in World of Warcraft.
No standard hero power: At the start of the match, Lana’thel transforms the player into a vampire and replaces their hero power with Vampiric Bite.
Vampiric Bite must be used every turn and costs 0 mana. It grants a minion +2/+2 and turns it into a vampire.
To defeat Blood Queen Lana’thel, one only needs to follow a simple strategy: Play at least one minion each turn. This way, you avoid having to buff enemy minions.
Note: If you find yourself without a minion on the board, you must bite an enemy minion! If you do not bite anyone for a turn, you automatically lose the match!
For the fight, we use a simple Paladin deck that only contains minions with particularly low costs, such as the elven Archer or the Stonejaw Boar. Additionally, some minions with Charge, such as the Wolf Rider, are included. Extra buffs like Blessing of Might and Blessing of Kings to speed things up. The general strategy here is “Face is the Place” – always go straight for the boss’s face, without much regard for loss.
In summary, Lana’thel is a relatively easy boss that can be defeated relatively easily with the shown deck.

The fifth and final closed beta phase of the medieval MMORPG Life is Feudal has begun and brings a range of changes and new features.
With the fifth phase, the closed beta of the MMORPG Life is Feudal will come to an end. This brings the release a good deal closer.
With the new beta, all participants can look forward to a new battle system. In this system, guilds face off against each other to fight. The guild that can completely eliminate its opponents or “hold the hill” wins.
The winning guild gets the loot
To engage in such a battle, two guilds must declare war on each other. The winner receives all the equipment that the opponents leave behind on the battlefield. Thus, the winner takes all the loot. In addition, several smaller improvements, adjustments, and bug fixes will make their way into the MMO. Those participating in the closed beta should provide as much feedback as possible to the developers, which they can use to make further improvements to the game.
Trailer shows how important guilds are
With a new trailer, the developers prepare you for the last closed beta phase of Life is Feudal. The trailer focuses on the guilds and their power as well as the advantages for players to join a guild. A final release date for Life is Feudal will be announced later.

With the fairies, also known as Fae, a very special race awaits you in the PvP MMORPG Crowfall, which looks nice but has a lot going on behind their ears.
In Crowfall, the choice of race is not just a cosmetic decision for the player. Each race has unique abilities, making the choice even more important. The races you can choose from will soon include the Fae. They are expected to appear “soon” in Crowfall.
The fairies have a bonus attribute on dexterity and intelligence and also receive an ancestry power, which represents a free passive power.
An additional passive ability
The ancestry powers are race-specific buffs and bonuses that are active alongside your other skills. The ancestry power does not occupy a skill slot and therefore does not need to be equipped. It is always active. The ancestry power of the Fae increases movement speed while in stealth mode, which gives the fairies the fastest movement speed in stealth mode compared to all other races, and it grants the player the ability to double jump and the ability to glide.
Fairy Fire and Quick Evasion
Similarly, the Fae have two race-specific active abilities. One is the right-click evasion, which works like a quick sprint and also deals bonus damage to targets that the fairies run past.
The fairy fire highlights a target by glowing, which can then be critically hit more often by 8 percent – this applies to anyone attacking the target. Fairies can choose the classes Assassins, Druids, and Frostweavers.
In Destiny 2 Guardians can drive tanks. These will defeat everything and everyone, predicts this fan-made video.
The Destiny fans were quite astonished when tanks suddenly appeared during the gameplay premiere of Destiny 2 (see cover image). The fact that the Guardians can drive these tanks in the game is proven by this short scene, where a tank is seen from a first-person perspective:
So far, Bungie has not gone into detail about these new vehicles. When we can control tanks in Destiny 2, what exactly they can do, and what the gaming experience will be like is still unknown.
If it’s up to the YouTuber ChrisOfTheDead, the tanks will be “fantastic”. In the following video, he cut footage from “Destiny 2” trailers with gameplay scenes from Destiny to predict: Tanks can defeat everything and everyone. This video was awarded “Video of the Week” by Bungie:

The name of the German publisher Koch Media is currently causing fits of laughter among English-speaking fans of Conan Exiles and journalists.
For us Germans, it’s hard to understand, but Americans and Brits are currently having fun that the German publisher “Koch Media” will bring the retail versions of Conan Exiles to stores in 2018.
The reason lies in the fact that Conan Exiles is known for its raunchy portrayal of penises. There are penis sliders, penis dances, and penises have their own swing physics. At the beginning, there was hardly any other topic in Conan Exiles. But what does that have to do with Koch Media?
Well, English-speaking ears can’t make sense of the German word “Koch” because they are not familiar with the “ch” in that form. To them, the “ch” becomes “ck,” and thus, “Koch” turns into “Cock” – which is slang for penis.
So, to some English journalists, it currently sounds like “Cock Media” is publishing Conan Exiles. Huge laugh.
Release version of Conan Exiles will also be in stores for PS4, PC, and Xbox One
To the point: Conan Exiles is set to leave Early Access in early 2018. Then the game will also be in stores for PS4, PC, and Xbox One.
Funcom is planning a boxed release version. To this end, Funcom is making a deal with Koch Media to publish the game worldwide.
In the accompanying press release, there are surprisingly few penis jokes. Instead, Funcom and Koch Media praise each other in the highest terms and announce that they intend to release the game in all major regions of the world.
Funcom and Koch Media have collaborated before, 10 years ago on Age of Conan: Rise of the Godslayer.
Currently, Conan Exiles is making headlines with the port to Xbox One and an update:
In the trailer, you see the mix of sci-fi MMORPG, hack and slash, and MOBA on PC. Wild Buster: Heroes of Titan is coming to Europe.
What is Wild Buster?
The publisher InselGames announces the collaboration with developer Nuri Works. Together, they are bringing the sci-fi action MMORPG Wild Buster: Heroes of Titan for PC to Europe. The focus is on various PvP modes where you can compete against other players, raid dungeons for up to 15 players, as well as a MOBA-like skill system and character selection.
At launch, there will be more than a dozen heroes – a total of 24 are planned. The heroes are designed for different play styles and range from tank-DDs to snipers to heroes accompanied by strong pets.
Character creation in Wild Buster
At launch, features such as a crafting system, an auction house, group finder, and a guild system will be available. Guilds will also have headquarters and guild wars planned.
In the PvE war, you can join the military organization “Guardians” or the mutant mercenary camp “Abandon” to fight against the cyborg race “The Brokken”.
In Korea, Wild Buster has already gained its fans. Now, the publisher InselGames wants to bring the MMORPG to the Western market and start an IndieGoGo campaign on Friday, August 25.
In The Division 1.7, you can achieve one kill per shot with this build. The secret DeadEYE set is required.
For almost a week now, update 1.7 has been live, and some agents have already gathered complete “classified gear sets.” The classified sets were always known as “Classified Gear” in the weeks and months leading up to the launch – the new best armor pieces that come with additional bonuses and higher stats.
Meanwhile, the first guides can be found online on how to create powerful builds with these classified sets. Division expert MarcoStyle now provides a DeadEYE build that is well-received by the community – with overwhelming support.
This DeadEYE build is supposed to allow you to eliminate enemies with just one shot. We will now show you how to recreate this build.

Read more about our privacy policy.
The idea behind this build – and the DeadEYE set in general – is to kill the enemy from a distance before they can shoot back. You are bound to a precision rifle and high damage output. If the enemy forces you into close combat, you are at a disadvantage. Therefore, this build primarily focuses on dealing as much damage as possible, especially crit damage.
These bonuses are provided by DeadEYE in 1.7:
2-Set Bonus: +40% Initial Stability
3-Set Bonus: +20% Precision Rifle Critical Hit Damage
4-Set Bonus: Talent – While zoomed, precision rifles lose the headshot bonus but gain 100% critical hit chance. Works only with “zoomed scopes” and while in cover.
6-Set Bonus: While zoomed, a headshot kill with a precision rifle increases crit damage by 20% every second up to a maximum of 100%. Stability is also increased by 100%. The effect lasts 10 seconds or until you leave the zoom.
However, MarcoStyle forgoes the 6-Set Bonus in his build. Although it sounds interesting, it is rarely useful in practice. Especially in PvP, headshots with a sniper are difficult, and additionally, you are limited to a location for this bonus – once you leave it or exit the zoom, the bonus is lost.
Instead, a Relentless Vest will be used, which consistently increases damage by +8% regardless of the situation, but also increases incoming damage by 10%.
These are the armor pieces:
Vest: Relentless with skill power, health (or enemy armor damage) and ammunition capacity
Mask: Classified DeadEYE with enemy armor damage and “On Fire” resistance
Kneepads: Classified DeadEYE with crit damage and various resistances
Gloves: Classified DeadEYE with precision rifle damage, crit damage, and enemy armor damage
Holster: Classified DeadEYE with skill haste
Backpack: Classified DeadEYE
For the main attributes, make sure that the weapons always have high values. The mods should also increase weapons and skill haste. You need skill haste so that your skills recharge faster. Overall, MarcoStyle aims for these values:
Weapons: 10077
Stamina: 2952
Electronics: 2945
The weapons are very high, while the other values are on the lower side.
The Weapons of the Build
For weapons, you need precision rifles:
M700 Carbon with Prepared (+15% damage when the enemy is more than 30 meters away), Deadly (increases crit damage by 15%), and Competent (+10% weapon damage for 15 seconds after a skill is used). With this powerful weapon, one-shot kills are possible. Focus on crit damage for mods.
Surplus SVD with the same talents as the M700. Focus on crit damage for mods as well.
The Skills and Talents
These are the skills:
First Aid with Stim Shot: In addition to the normal healing effect, it increases damage and damage resistance
Mobile Cover with Countermeasures: While in cover, you deal more damage and are immune to pulse effects
The Character Talents:
Tactical Advantage: A cover-to-cover move increases weapon damage by 2% per meter traveled for 5 seconds
Field Medic: Use a first aid kit near allies to heal group members within 20 meters by 40%
Dodge: While moving from cover to cover, received damage is reduced by 30%
Quiet Hands: Seeking cover reduces recoil by 25% for 10 seconds
In short: With DeadEYE you are depended on cover, which is why the skills and talents should provide advantages here.
The advantage of this build is that you can deal massive damage without having to aim for the opponents’ heads. The entire body surface is available to you. If you play in a strike team and shoot with this build from the back, you’ll have a good time in The Division.
However, the build also has disadvantages: You are not very resilient, making it unsuitable for solo players. If you encounter multiple enemies in the Dark Zone who flank you, you might take down one or two of them, but the others will force you to your knees.
The tank MMO World of Tanks will be significantly enhanced for the launch of the Xbox One X. On Microsoft’s new console, the tank fun is set to appear in stunning 4K. Additionally, World of Tanks supports Microsoft’s Xbox Arena Tournament.
World of Tanks has been available on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One for a while. There, the tank fun is optimized specifically for gamepads, providing a unique feeling. However, the game’s graphics were limited by the hardware constraints of the consoles. This will soon change with the release of the Xbox One X in November.
World of Tanks on Xbox – More beautiful and better!
Before Gamescom 2017 in Cologne, Wargaming already presented a first trailer for the World of Tanks version for the Xbox One X. On Microsoft’s new wonder console, Wargaming’s tank hunt will run in stunning 4K and be more beautiful than ever.

Overwatch is getting a new map – at least according to the wishes of a fan. They quickly created their own map!
When it comes to an active fanbase, Overwatch is right at the top. The community continually creates new artworks. Whether it’s hot fanfictions, cool new characters, or – as in this case – a completely new map!
YouTuber Joshua Ilorente took the effort to recreate a complete map for Overwatch in Unreal Engine 4.
The map named “Favela” takes place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – the birthplace of Lúcio.
Favela is the Brazilian term for a slum – a pretty rundown area where residents have to forego many conveniences of life.
Just enjoy the tour through the Favela and dream about how you take down your fiercest opponents (definitely Hanzo mains) in the alleys and houses of this area.

The Favela contains everything you would expect from a typical map in Overwatch. Many tight spots for cool duels and large areas for skirmishes over control points or payloads. But visually, the map also stands out, as it is equipped with many details. You can find cheap “lodgings” for visitors, a simple soccer field for kids in the backyard, and of course plenty of sunshine. Even though in the background, the clearly more modern part of Rio looms ominously, already taken over by Vishkar.
What do you think of this fan creation? A cool map that Blizzard could gladly adopt 1:1? Or does it not fit the style of Overwatch at all?
Sea of Thieves is going to be a fun online game, because where else can you throw up on other players?
Pirates like to drink a bit more, because the rum simply tastes so good. However, the combination of a lot of alcohol and high waves at sea is usually not so good for the stomach. But in Sea of Thieves, you should not vomit over the railing, but into a bucket. Because the vomit will still be useful to you.
The Vomit Attack is Coming!
As the developers announce, you can attack your enemies with your vomit. To do this, you pour the contents of the mentioned bucket onto your opponents. Their vision will be temporarily hindered, making them easier to attack. This will surely bring a lot of vomit attacks into the game. Presumably, the bucket attack will become one of the most popular attack methods in the game.
True Crossplay between PC and Xbox One
Additionally, the developers announced that there will be crossplay between the versions for Xbox One and PC. This will work completely unrestricted. No matter which platform you play Sea of Thieves on, you are always together in the world.
This should also make it easier to find teammates. Because if both PC and Xbox One owners play on the same servers, the selection of players is larger.
Sea of Thieves can be played at Gamescom and is set to be released next year.
Fans with over 1000 hours in Destiny 1 refuse to pre-order Destiny 2. Why?
It is quite curious. The biggest fans of Destiny 1 are currently the biggest critics of Destiny 2. Why is that?
What is Destiny?
Destiny is a game defined by its contradictions:
it released to mixed reviews and became a worldwide success, despite the same gaming press that tore it apart in reviews writing about it for months
Destiny has a notoriously bad story, but fantastic gameplay
despite being so successful and important for Activision, there has been a content drought since November 2015. Hardly anything has happened with the game since then.
The most important contradiction: Destiny is a huge commercial product intended for everyone, yet there is a loyal fanbase that loves it above all and has made the game “their game”.
This fanbase is the source of many stories and news in Destiny. They have ensured that Destiny has been consistently in the media for years.
Bungie and Activision proudly point to this “hardcore” group, this fanbase. They say that their passion for Destiny motivates them. Their feedback is crucial and drives them. They invite their streamers and YouTubers to their events. One of the most important figures from this community has even been hired and made their community manager.
However: This fanbase is very different from the target audience for which Activision is now developing Destiny 2. And this leads to problems.
Who are the hardcore Destiny fans?
This fanbase has overcome all obstacles over the years and it is they who represent the success of Destiny for many core players:
Fans have studied the Grimoire cards to reveal the fantastic world behind the story of Destiny
through Facebook and group tools, they have compensated for the lack of matchmaking – huge player communities have formed there
They have even conducted experiments and shot at walls for hours to decipher all hidden statistics in the game mechanics
The lack of content was addressed by searching for years for the “perfect optimized gear”, looking for weapons with specific random perks
They repeated the little content that existed until they could defeat it with closed eyes or the most absurd handicaps
also, the Trials of Osiris, the driving force for many players, are temporarily on hold; the switch to 4vs4 feels strange
Instead, Activision and Bungie want to emphasize other things in Destiny 2:
they announced that Destiny 2 would become broader and more accessible – for this, the PC port should help
Destiny 2 should not be a time sink, but should fit comfortably with real life
everything in the game should be explained, so that players do not need to go to community pages
Destiny 2 is now to become the “story shooter” that part 1 never was, to attract new target groups
content supply should be ensured through collaboration with other studios
All these decisions have led to an absurd situation: players who have spent over 1000 hours in Destiny 1 are now refusing to pre-order Destiny 2 and are skeptical about whether it is still “their” game.
When looking at Bungie’s decisions, this can be understood.
Will “Space Magic” work a second time?
The question is: Can Destiny 2, despite all these problems, win back the core players? Ultimately, we will only know when it launches.
Because the “magic” of Destiny requires that it be played. In the “dry” state, as now, Destiny 2 is a sum of decisions and contradictions that make little sense.
The much-talked-about Space Magic, the magic of Destiny, only arises when the game is running, when gameplay and social aspects come into play. When friends log in, when it’s fun to shoot an alien, when curious stories spread, and the loot sparkles.
Only then will it be decided whether the pull of Destiny 2 is strong enough to bring back core players. However, it would be nice if Activision and Bungie could take a step or two towards the core of their player base that they claim to value so much.
The question is whether the “new target audience” will really engage with Destiny 2 as hoped. A large part of the success will depend on whether they can win back “former players” of Destiny a second time. This fanbase is crucial, as their passion can inspire others, create curious stories, and contribute to the “Space Magic”.
