Monster Hunter World: A Living World – Gameplay from the Stream

Leya Jankowski Leya Jankowski Reading time 3 minutes

Today there was a live stream from Japan showcasing the gameplay of Monster Hunter World. It provides insight into a quest that features a spectacular hunt – both in a group and solo. The vibrant world, interacting with itself, will clearly be the centerpiece.

Monster Hunter World will be spectacular and brimming with interactions. Capcom has focused on the core of the Monster Hunter franchise and has impressively crafted the vibrant world.

In the stream, the producers of Monster Hunter World introduced themselves officially. The creator of the series Kaname Fujioka returns to the game and will take on the role of lead art director. Capcom has already confirmed that Monster Hunter World is a main title that is essentially “Monster Hunter 5”.

In the stream, the developers explained that they chose the name “World” because it is a completely dynamic game with a living world.

Monster Hunter World: Gameplay Video – Monsters also eat each other

The stream focused on the gameplay of Monster Hunter World, and we follow a player embarking on a quest. Naturally, he is hunting a dangerous monster.

The monsters also pose a danger to themselves. The food chain is observed, and a larger monster can easily eat what the player intended to hunt for horns, bones, or scales. It’s possible to use the environment to take down the monsters. Everything seems to react to each other. The environment consists of the “Monster Hunter”-typical jungle, featuring deep caves and grottos.

During the quest, a few other players join in midway and help with the fight.

What does the gameplay stream reveal to us?

  • Monster Hunter World will take place in a highly dynamic world where everything interacts with one another.
  • Monster Hunter World has a realistic ecosystem. Monsters adhere to the food chain and eat each other.
  • Monsters react “intelligently” and can, for instance, run away or chase the player. This allows for setting traps.
  • It is possible to use the environment to defeat monsters.  An example shown was an exploding barrel that destroys a dam and sweeps the monster away with the player.
  • There will be “Scout Flies” to track monsters.
  • There is drop-in multiplayer. Other players can join the first player in the middle of a quest.
  • There are different weapon types. The gameplay stream featured: a large sword, a bow, a rifle, and a hammer.

It was also mentioned that PlayStation Plus is necessary if you want to play online.

Leya says: The stream unfortunately had poor quality, yet I was captivated while watching. The gameplay showcased exactly what I love about Monster Hunter: Epic, long battles with clever monsters that react to their surroundings.

The world seems, as usual, to be designed with great attention to detail. It is possible to interact with everything and devise a plan to take down the monsters. I felt the essence of classic Monster Hunter.

The gameplay stream was promising and leaves me with eager anticipation.

Pokémon GO: New Gyms are in the game – PokéStops have been replaced

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Good news for Pokémon GO players: You can now find more gyms and stops in Pokémon GO – maybe even in your area.

This summer is apparently going to be really exciting for Pokémon GO players. The announced gym update with raid bosses and co-op battles has brought a lot of joy to the trainers. But there is more good news: Players have noticed that many PokéStops have been converted into gyms and that there are generally more stops and gyms (even in rural areas).

More gyms and more stops

The gym update in Pokémon GO makes some changes to the gym system in the game. You will then be able to spin the photo disc of a gym and also find items there. Additionally, there will soon be six permanent slots for Pokémon that can be occupied by the controlling team.

Before the update, you could accommodate up to ten Pokémon in a gym. Therefore, four slots would be lost due to the update. Niantic seems to have taken this issue into account and has quickly integrated new gyms and stops into the game. In our Pokémon GO Facebook group, some trainers have already noticed the changes.

Pokemon GO Party Hat Pikachu

In some cases, former stops have now become gyms. This continues to provide opportunities to loot items and also more space for monsters that want to enter a gym.

More stops and gyms in rural areas

This good news also applies to players in rural areas. Trainers in rural regions are excited on social media about now having more stops or gyms in their vicinity.

On Reddit, user CanyonWrn writes that he finds two new gyms and a new PokéStop in his area. As a trainer in a very rural area, this is great news for him.

Pokémon GO Family Starter

The integration of the new gyms is apparently not yet complete and is still being carried out. If you don’t see any changes yet, it might take a bit longer in your location. Keep an eye on your surroundings as you go on new adventures and watch for changed stops and gyms.

Additional spawn points added

In addition to the gyms and stops, there are also new spawn points in the game. These are the locations where wild Pokémon appear on the map. Many trainers report that these points have shifted or that new ones have been added.

Pay attention during your next hunt to whether Pokémon now appear in places where they weren’t before.

Destiny: Server maintenance on June 20th – LOGANBERRY error may occur

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny, maintenance work is taking place today, on June 20th. Players may experience the LOGANBERRY error code.

A brief reminder to all Guardians planning to spend their evening in the MMO shooter: there may be minor issues.

  • Starting at 5 PM our time, Bungie will conduct server maintenance.
  • By 11 PM, the work should be completed.

No downtime is planned – so you can play as usual. However, Bungie states that you should not be removed from your activities – this is not completely excluded.

Towards the end of the maintenance work, LOGANBERRY error codes may occur, according to Bungie. These could happen to some players. If you are removed from the game due to this error, you should restart Destiny and log in again normally.

destiny_2_e3_2017_ps4_exclusive_strike_lake_of_shadows_pose_7

No changes to game content or gameplay are expected during this maintenance work.

Maintenance in Destiny 1

In recent weeks and months, Bungie has repeatedly emphasized that they will continue to support Destiny 1 – even after the launch of Destiny 2 on September 6, 2017.

The Age of Triumph was the last content delivery, but server work will continue in the future – or when significant bugs or issues arise. Players should have the opportunity to return to the familiar worlds of Destiny 1 indefinitely.

Recently, the developers announced that currently there are no more sandbox adjustments planned. In other words, the current meta in Destiny 1 will not change. Hand cannons, the Last Word, and the MIDA Multi-Tool will remain the top weapons in PvP.

The full focus is now on Destiny 2.

Overwatch: Players on Xbox struggle with the “bad reputation” system

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Xbox players of Overwatch feel unfairly treated. Those who play their favorite hero receive a bad reputation – with consequences.

Those who play Overwatch on Xbox find it hard to enjoy the game when they favor heroes that the community does not recognize as the best choice. Those who do not play by the “meta” often receive many insults – completely regardless of how well they perform with their chosen hero. However, those playing Blizzard’s hero shooter on Xbox One face an even worse problem.

Overwatch Reaper Shrug Background

On Reddit, the player DriftingInTheFoam reports that he hardly has any fun with the game anymore because he enjoys playing heroes that he likes. Since players on Xbox cannot directly report others in Overwatch, teammates use the reputation system of Xbox One for that purpose. Those who play in a multiplayer game can receive a rating from these players afterward. Anyone who does not “dance to the tune” of the current meta quickly earns a reputation of “bad” or even “avoid me”.

This leads to the situation on Xbox One where players are mainly matched with others who also have a bad reputation – usually for very valid reasons.

Furthermore, the reported player is often insulted or even threatened, which is also not conducive to enjoying the game. Like in this example:

The post receives a lot of support on Reddit, and there is hope that Blizzard will decide to withdraw from this rating system with Overwatch.

What do you think about this system and its obvious exploitation? Should Microsoft and Blizzard distance themselves from it? Or is it just right?

Ever wondered what Overwatch would be like as an RPG? Here’s how it would look!

Call of Duty WW2: Multiplayer hat von Overwatch und Battlefield 1 gelernt

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

The upcoming shooter Call of Duty WW2 aims to bring a breath of fresh air to the series – also in the multiplayer mode, which is enhanced by elements from Overwatch and Battlefield 1.

The developers at Sledgehammer Games apparently drew inspiration from the competition to give the multiplayer a fresh look – specifically from Overwatch and Battlefield 1.

call of duty ww2 03

Elements from Overwatch

Call of Duty WW2 adopts the Payload mode from Overwatch. In the shooter, you will escort a tank, which you can also enter to eliminate the attackers with its gun. However, there will be no “Winning Kill”. Instead, players will compete to be featured as “Play of the Game”. Therefore, those who contribute the most to the match will receive this special honor.

Battlefield 1 also served as inspiration

call of duty ww2 04

Dice’s Battlefield 1, on the other hand, served as inspiration for the “War” mode. This mode closely resembles the “Operations” from Battlefield 1 and will offer a kind of story. You choose whether to stand on the side of the attackers or defenders. As an attacker, you must accomplish a series of objectives, such as building a bridge or destroying anti-aircraft defenses, as well as destroying the enemies’ supplies. As a defender, you should prevent the attackers from fulfilling these objectives.

Call of Duty WW2 makes use of the class feature from Battlefield 1. The divisions in the game offer unique archetypes that rely on special abilities. One of these is the bayonet charge, which players may already know from Battlefield 1.

Call of Duty WW2 will be released on November 3.

The Division: Großer YouTuber meldet sich zurück, um das Spiel zu retten

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

In The Division, a major YouTuber returns to point out all the bugs that Massive needs to fix.

The name “MarcoStyle” will likely sound familiar to many of you: He has built a reputation as a Division expert, especially in the English-speaking community, and we have occasionally presented exciting insights, builds, or theories from him here on Mein-MMO.

division-agent-grimmig

He was mainly known for uncovering and clearly explaining complicated mechanics in The Division. However, the emphasis here is on “was.” Because about three months ago, shortly after update 1.6, he released a video explaining his retirement as a content creator. Due to all the problems that Massive simply could not fix in the game, he lost motivation. He will not be producing any more videos for an indefinite period of time.

Yesterday, on June 19, motivation clearly returned. MarcoStyle mentions that he has recently started playing The Division again and is currently preparing for update 1.7. However, the game still has so many problems that the developers need to address in 1.7.

To provide Massive with concrete footage showcasing many bugs, exploits, and issues, he released this video. He hopes that this will make it easier for Massive to eliminate various annoyances with update 1.7.

Massive, please fix

MarcoStyle’s return is currently the top topic in the reddit forum, and many are celebrating in the comments that he is making videos again. A moderate tremor is going through the Division community, which has been yearning for pleasant announcements for months.

MarcoStyle addresses numerous problems, particularly focusing on inconsistencies with the healing skills First Aid and Healing Station. The Healing Station heals too little, and First Aid does not provide a “healing over time” effect in certain situations (for example, when burning). He also discusses the bug with the Hasty talent, which Massive already stated is just a UI bug: The talent works as intended, it is just displayed incorrectly.

Division-Fuck-Justice

The attachment skill does not work on all covers, the survival link does not provide a speed boost as intended, and the “One is None” talent causes serious issues when you reload at the same time the talent triggers. Then the weapon jams – you can neither reload nor shoot. This talent has been causing problems since the launch of The Division.

All problems mentioned by MarcoStyle can be found in the embedded video. However, this is by no means a complete list of the bugs.

It remains to be seen whether Massive will manage with update 1.7 to bring the game into a better state.

ESO Morrowind: “A Hireling for House Telvanni” – Quest Solution

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 2 minutes

In The Elder Scrolls Online Morrowind awaits a slew of puzzles that are not easily solved. One of them appears in the quest line “A Hireling for House Telvanni” and opens the way to the Sheogorath shrine Zaintiraris. You can find the solution to the puzzle with the skulls here.

ESO Morrowind 01

The Elder Scrolls Online Morrowind has as its clear highlight the island of Vvardenfell, which  new Guardian class and the PvP battlegrounds. There are also a few nice puzzle quests that stand out from the usual “kill X and collect Y” monotony of MMO quests.

A particularly beautiful puzzle quest is “A Hireling for House Telvanni,” which takes you to a shrine of the mad god Sheogorath. The solution to the main puzzle with the skulls can be found here.

ESO Morrowind – The solution for the Skull puzzle A Hireling for House Telvanni

The quest “A Hireling for House Telvanni” is about finding the shrine Zaintiraris, a place of worship of the mad god Sheogorath. However, you first need to solve a macabre puzzle by counting skulls and lighting braziers. The correct order of the skulls and braziers is written in a letter, but for those who don’t feel like silly number games, you can find the solution here:

  1. Light the brazier with two skulls
  2. Light the brazier with three skulls
  3. Light the brazier with five skulls
  4. Light the brazier with six skulls

Once the last brazier has been lit in the shown order, you can enter Zaintiraris and loot it. If you like, you can watch the solution to the puzzle in the embedded YouTube video here. Have fun!

Friday the 13th Update: Developers apologize with free stuff

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The makers of the multiplayer slasher “Friday the 13th: The Game” (PC, PS4, Xbox One) feel guilty about the problems at launch, so there is a patch today with free stuff for everyone. The free DLC brings outfits and skins. They are also addressing the issues.

We reported on the issues of Friday the 13th: The Game. In short: The rush was so immense that some things broke and did not run as they should, leading to login difficulties, lost progress, and so on.

The game launched at the end of May, aiming to be a summer hit, especially since it was released for PS4 and Xbox One. However, the developers were not prepared to suddenly be the game of the hour.

The horror slasher Friday the 13th is more of a niche title, funded through Kickstarter, but its party nature, strong license, and Twitch-friendliness at launch made quite an impact. This caused difficulties. With today’s update, the developers say “Sorry,” but since that alone might not be enough, they are adding a lot of free stuff.

June 20 brings free update with these goodies for Friday the 13th

With an update today on June 20, the developers want to make some amends. These goodies are coming for all players:

  • every player receives 13,000 customization points to further customize their character
  • there is a double XP weekend starting on June 23 and ending on June 25
  • two new outfits for each survivor, the counselors

The Groaning Storehouse is a new part of the MacMillan Estate. As the name suggests, there is a large warehouse located centrally, which with its winding corridors offers plenty of space for chases – or ambushes. The map is already unlocked in the game and is free for all players.

Killer, Map, and Survivor – completely free

But that’s not all! The development team of Dead by Daylight has decided to create another DLC. This new chapter will, as usual, include a new killer, a new survivor, and a completely new map. But there’s more: the upcoming chapter will be free, allowing all players to enjoy new content.

Dead by Daylight Killer Chapter

A release date for the new chapter has not yet been announced, but a silhouette of the killer has been revealed.

The new chapter is also expected to be the one that will be additionally implemented in the version for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, allowing console players to enjoy significantly more content at launch than was the case on PC back then.

Do you have any idea who or what the new killer could be? Perhaps a crazy Easter Bunny?

The release on PS4 and Xbox One is coming soon! More information, including the release trailer, can be found here.

Tom Rothstein Tom Rothstein Reading time 2 minutes

For PS Plus in July 2017, a free game is already known. All PlayStation Plus members will receive this game as a bonus.

On July 4th, the “free games” for July 2017 will be available for all members of the PS Plus online service. About a week in advance, these games will be revealed by Sony. However, the first game that you can download for free starting July 4th is already known.

It is “That’s You!” – a party game from Wish Studios. That’s You is one of the PlayLink games that were introduced at E3 2017. PlayLink represents a new social gaming series where you can gather your friends around the TV, and they only need a smartphone or tablet to play various party games together.

One of them is “That’s You!” This is a kind of quiz where you first take selfies and then answer various questions, draw, and complete photo challenges. There are supposedly more than 1000 questions.

It is said to be a fun party game “in which you and up to five friends or family members finally find out what you really think about each other.” In this video, you can get an impression of it:

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Today is finally the day and a new map as well as numerous changes and bug fixes will be implemented with the new patch 1.12/2.14 in Overwatch .

For about three weeks, the new patch for Overwatch was on the PTR, but this evening (20.06.2017) it should finally go live on the servers. Patch 1.12 for the PC version and patch 2.14 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One brings one highlight: the new map Horizon Lunar Colony. Here, players can learn more about Winston’s birthplace and find out what went wrong, leading to the destruction of the lunar colony by the gorillas.

The patch notes for Overwatch patch 1.12 / 2.14

Additionally, there are some changes to the heroes that we want to briefly present to you here.

McCree
Overwatch Hero McCree

  • Gunslinger
    • Targets are now aimed at after 0.2 seconds, not after 0.8 seconds.
    • The damage accumulated in the first second increases from 20 to 80.

Reaper

  • Enemies no longer leave souls when they are killed.
  • Instead, Reaper now receives 20% of the damage dealt to enemy heroes as health points.

Roadhog

  • The head hitbox has been reduced by 20%.
  • Scrap Gun
    • The damage of the bullets has been reduced by 33%.
    • The fire rate has been increased by 30%.

Additionally, there are numerous small bug fixes, such as the issues with Reinhardt, whose animations are often faulty and particularly affected by latency. Many players could hardly use abilities as the effect occurred several seconds late, which made Reinhardt somewhat unplayable.

Additionally, players can no longer rate a match at the end of a game. This feature has been removed as the developers could not derive any benefit from it.

Usually, patches go live in the evening hours. Blizzard has not yet specified a concrete time.

Pokémon GO server down: Authentication failed, 20.6.

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Today, on 20.6, there are connection problems with Pokémon GO. Server downtimes and issues with the PTC have been occurring since last night. What is the server status?

Yesterday, Niantic announced a huge update for Pokémon GO that will significantly revamp the arenas. The excitement among trainers was considerable, and the plans for the changes received positive feedback from the community.

However, since last night, there have been problems with the Pokémon GO servers. Players trying to log in through the PTC often have no connection to the game.

Update 20.06. 21:00:

Niantic has announced on Reddit that they are taking a close look at the issues with the PTC login. The team will roll out a fix for all affected devices and players in the coming hours.

They are also aware that these issues with the PTC occur frequently. Therefore, they are looking for a solution to eliminate these problems in the long term.

In the coming hours, the issues with the Pokémon Trainer Account should hopefully be resolved.

Pokémon GO Login Issues

The login problems in Pokémon GO began on the night of 19.6 to 20.6. Trainers are sometimes unable to log in or are experiencing issues with GPS signals and other features in the game.

Players logging in through the Pokémon Trainer Club (PTC) are once again affected by these problems. Apparently, Niantic frequently has issues with this login method, as there were PTC login issues in Pokémon GO just last week.

CoD WW2: No Swastikas in Multiplayer, but Black Germans

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The new shooter Call of Duty WW2 (CoD WWII) takes place in World War II and aims to depict it accurately, but in multiplayer, liberties are taken. While there will be no swastikas on the Axis side, there will be black soldiers and women.

The studio Sledgehammer Games is committed to making Call of Duty: WWII historically accurate and bringing World War II to a new generation of gamers.

Singleplayer: Historically Accurate, Multiplayer: Not So

However, in multiplayer, Sledgehammer makes compromises on historical accuracy and takes liberties.

There will be no restrictions on which weapons players can use, depending on their side.

It will also be possible to fight as a black or white soldier, as a man or woman without any restrictions. The developers are aware that the German army only consisted of white men, but they take liberties here. Players will fight for the Allies half the time and for the Axis half the time, with the same soldier.

Players should be able to choose who represents them in multiplayer without restriction.

COD WW2 Title

It is important, that the player has the freedom to choose what they play in multiplayer. It is therefore also possible to create a black or female soldier who fights for the Nazis.

Swastika – Dark Symbol, Doesn’t Fit in Multiplayer

The swastika was the symbol of Nazi Germany – the swastika will appear in the single-player campaign but not in the multiplayer of Call of Duty: WW2. As a rationale, the co-founder of the studio, Michael Condrey, stated to Eurogamer:

  • In the campaign, it is about telling an authentic “World War II” story
  • In multiplayer, it is about putting the player, no matter what they want to play, into a shooter set in World War II

The multiplayer of CoD WWII is meant to bring communities together. They want to honor local customs and laws worldwide. And the swastika is a dark symbol that is emotionally charged. Sledgehammer Games does not believe that the swastika fits in the multiplayer mode. They are, of course, aware of the legal difficulties in various countries.

Gym Update – Features in Videos

The new arena update in Pokémon GO offers you many different functions and features such as raid battles in co-op or new items like mysterious candies. With the announcement, the developers provided fans with a lot of information that now needs to be understood.

As help to understand, there were videos in the Pokémon GO press kit showing some of the new aspects. This includes battles, the hatching egg with the extremely strong raid boss, or feeding berries. This way, you can already get a first impression of the arena update before it can be downloaded on your smartphones.

The individual videos were shared by Reddit user Soccerdude21490.
