A video has been released showing 50 different starting planets in a few minutes for No Man’s Sky.
In No Man’s Sky, you are in a vast, procedurally generated universe that boasts diversity not only in planets, climate conditions, and creatures. Each of you will have different experiences as you discover different things than your buddies – and you may be the only ones to ever see those things.
It is the same with the planet where you start. Every new explorer begins on their own world, which can be extremely different from those of other players.
Eurogamer came up with the brilliant idea to restart the game 50 times to find out how diverse the 50 starting planets will look. As you can see in the 7-minute video, the planets vary significantly – not only in the color of the atmosphere and the topography:

This is what you get when you use cheats in Overwatch ! It doesn’t help even if you play in the top 200.
Those who cheat in online games will eventually face the consequences. A Korean Overwatch player, who was among the top 200 players on the Korean leaderboard, found this out the hard way. He streamed live on the internet while using an aimbot in Overwatch and quickly faced Blizzard’s penalty, having his account banned from the game.
Cheaters against the wall!
Years ago, Jan Hegenberg warned us that cheaters should be “thrown out.” Even in the early versions of “Counter Strike,” there were so-called “aimbots” that ruined the fun of the game for other players. An aimbot takes over aiming for the player and automatically targets enemies without the need to move the mouse. It’s incomprehensible why someone would want to stream such obvious cheating live on the internet. In the video, you can see how the cheat works, jumping the crosshairs from one target to the next – almost without any delay.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2Y9sS6Whv8
If you don’t want to watch the whole video, you can skip to about 2:50 minutes. There you can briefly see the cheat and the subsequent login screen.
Those who have watched the whole video might wonder how someone can still miss shots with Widowmaker despite having an aimbot. Could it be that the player didn’t want to cheat “obviously”? What the thoughts behind that were will probably remain a mystery. However, it is always satisfying to see a cheater get their just punishment.
In No Man’s Sky, we show you how to efficiently get money – in Units.
In many MMOs, there are certain farming methods and clever ways to quickly obtain the coveted resources and items. In No Man’s Sky, you also need a variety of resources – and although the game has just recently been released, there are already tips and tricks on how to quickly get the objects of your desire.
The YouTuber Arekkz Gaming shows you below how to quickly obtain Units, the currency in No Man’s Sky:

There are many ways to make money in the universe. One fruitful method is trading: You can trade in space stations or with various life forms you find on your journey. On planets, you will find trading posts where you can empty your inventory for Units.
Your goal is to find items that have a high trade value. However, there is a massive problem in No Man’s Sky: You can’t just say, “Go to this planet and get those items,” because each of you starts in a different corner of the universe, and you likely will never find the planet shown.
But there is a hint on how you recognize that you have found the item you are looking for: When you pick it up, the Sentinels, the guardians, the “space police,” are after you. So be careful when picking up these items. For Arekkz, these are “Albumen Pearls,” glowing spheres that are hidden in plants:
With a friend of Arekkz, who is in a different galaxy, these items are also glowing spheres. However, they are not hidden in plants and are called “Gravitino Balls.” But here, too, the guardians come into play when you pick them up. Deal with them – or flee from them.
Since an “Albumen Pearl” can be sold for 27,000 Units, you should look for planets where there are many of them – or similar items. If there is a trading post nearby, farming money becomes even easier.
In short: Look for planets where many items (apparently they are mostly glowing spheres) occur, which attract the guardians when you pick them up. If these then fetch high prices when trading, you know you are on the right track. Accumulate as many Units as you like.
Former developers of the Diablo- series have formed a new studio and are currently working on an action-oriented MMO.
Max Schaefer, who was involved in Diablo at Blizzard and also designed the “Hack ‘n Slay” series Torchlight, founded the development studio Echtra Inc. with former Blizzard employees Tyler Thompson (project lead for Diablo: Lord of Destruction) and David Glenn (art director for Diablo 1 and 2 as well as Hellgate: London).
Diablo as an MMORPG? It could work…
They do not want to reveal too much about what they are working on, but they hint that anyone who enjoys action-oriented RPGs and MMOs should expect something interesting. This suggests that they are working on some kind of Hack ‘n Slay with MMO elements. Just imagine Diablo 3 in an open world where many other players are present, with whom you can team up for adventures or challenge them to PvP battles.
A kind of “Diablo MMORPG” would, however, need to offer the fast-paced combat of a Hack ‘n Slay, which is not always easy in MMOs. Due to lag, many developers rely on a tab-targeting hotbar system. However, that would take the action out of the game. Additionally, the hunt for loot should play an important role, as this motivates many Diablo fans to keep playing. Equally important is an interesting story with diverse quests.
A “Diablo MMORPG” could definitely work and would surely be very interesting. However, Echtra should hurry before Blizzard gets the idea. Because who knows what Blizzard will announce at this year’s Blizzcon. There are already wild speculations about Diablo 4. As for Echtra’s first project, we probably won’t learn more until next year…

In Evolve Stage 2, there are fresh contents. The developers are throwing a new map into the rotation.
Bathe in lava with friends
Evolve is currently in its second beta and is already holding a “Month of Madness”, where the developers release new content every week. This week features a fresh map. Veterans will likely recognize the map at first glance, as it is a variation of “Orbital Drill”. Instead of a toxic swamp area, the zone in the “Cataclysm” map is now flooded with lava. As if that wasn’t enough chaos, meteors rain down at regular intervals, causing damage upon impact (orange) or creating a healing field (green).
Both monsters and hunters can benefit from both effects and use them to their advantage. It gets particularly exciting once the monster is trapped in the dome – because then the rate of falling meteors increases drastically, so one has to pay attention not only to the opponent but also to the sky.
At the same time, players now have received a first form of the coop mode. It is now possible to specifically compete as a hunting team against an AI monster. Those who don’t have three friends at hand can simply activate the group search to find like-minded players. For this purpose, the AI has also been significantly improved, so that the monster dynamically adjusts to the strength of the opposing team.
Apart from these new features, there are numerous bug fixes and balance adjustments. After the last nerf, the Wraith gets a bit more power back, and the slowdowns of many trappers have been slightly reduced.
The changes currently apply only to PC. It will likely be several weeks before a PS4 or Xbox One version of “Evolve Stage 2” is released.

An impressive clip has been released at Destiny, showcasing the Titan’s power in the current Nightfall strike.
Since the weekly reset on Tuesday, “The Shadow Thief” is the Nightfall. You must face Taniks, the Scarred. Since there is good loot in the Nightfall strike, many Guardians like to complete it weekly. However, you will have to form a fireteam yourself. Matchmaking is disabled.
However, it is also possible to master the Nightfall strike solo. In the following video, our friend Nexxoss Gaming shows how he soloed this week’s Nightfall against Taniks:

In the Taniks strike, a Wolfwalker stands in your way before the final battle, a powerful Fallen unit. This walker can be easily taken out this week – thanks to favorable modifiers.
Currently, Epic, Arc Burn, Brawler, Grounded, and Torrent are active, with Arc Burn and Brawler being crucial for the upcoming “trick”.
Grab your Titan and select the Stormcaller focus. Make sure that the focus node “Shoulder Charge” is active. Now all you need is the exotic boots “Wanderwing Greaves”. This way, you can gain the following advantages:
Arc Burn: Arc damage from all sources is increased.
Brawler: Damage from Guardian melee is significantly increased.
Wanderwing Greaves: Shoulder Charge deals bonus damage when activated in mid-air.
A Titan equipped this way now deals enough damage with the Shoulder Charge to take out the Wolfwalker in one hit. See for yourself:

This clip was shared by the user RaunoRepomies on reddit, where it received a lot of upvotes and comments. One Guardian wrote that these are the moments Titans live for. Some Guardians replicated this directly, and according to reports, it succeeded on the first try:

However, there is a warning that the Wolfwalker’s “Death Explosion” can eliminate you – and that with a high probability. Such a “one-hit kill” with the Stormcaller still looks impressive.
Blizzard is working on a new cinematic. Thanks to a leak, we also know what the new Overwatch film is about.
The Last Bastion – A Forgotten Omnic
After the first season of the cinematics surrounding the heroes and villains of Overwatch was very well received by fans, Blizzard announced that they are working on a second season for the future. Apparently, the first works seem to be in the final phase of production! Through Russian social media, Blizzard announced a new cinematic focusing on Bastion.
What exactly the cinematic will include is still unknown. However, Bastion’s backstory and the title image already provide some clues, as does the title. “The Last Bastion” sounds very much like it will revolve around Bastion’s awakening after the Omnic Crisis. After all, Bastion was dormant for a long time until his systems were reactivated.
Essentially, he is a peaceful soul (yes, omnics have “souls”), but his programming forces him to take defensive measures in the event of a conflict. That’s why Bastion lived with animals outside of civilization for a long time. It is conceivable that Bastion will encounter another hero or villain in the cinematic who pulls him out of this situation – whether intentionally or unintentionally, that remains to be seen.
Since Bastion only speaks in bleeps, mimicking his companion bird Ganimedes (so, who among you knew that?), many fans lack a deeper connection to this character. Therefore, it only seems logical that Blizzard will give him a bit more life with the cinematic. In the coming days, we will probably know more as soon as an official announcement is made.
According to the leak, the cinematic will be aired on August 18 – at GamesCom 2016 in Cologne.

Because there are no PokéStops in the Norwegian village Vindenes, the employees of the company “Sotra Anchor & Chain” thought about creating a PokéStop themselves. Jan Vindenes, the head of the company, says: Originally, the idea was to build a small statue for this purpose, but then the plans grew bigger and bigger. The “small statue” ultimately developed into a Poké Ball that is over 3 meters tall and weighs 2 tons – a Snorlax would have enough space inside.
Image source: http://www.vestnytt.no/
Through this statue, the employees of Sotra hope that the “Pokémon GO” developer Niantic will register it as a PokéStop. However, there has been no response to a letter sent to Niantic so far. The statue was manufactured by Sotra itself. The decoration was handled by another company. Take a look at how Jan Vindenes explains in a charming way why this statue is so important for the village of Vindenes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMhATqhcYgg
Hopefully, Niantic realizes that this dedication to Pokémon GO deserves at least one PokéStop in the village.
While they are striving for more PokéStops in Norway, other places are trying to get rid of their PokéStops.

The latest hero from Heroes of the Storm, the support hero Auriel, is live today.
Revivals on the battlefield with Auriel
After a long wait, the latest hero from Blizzard’s Heroes of the Storm has arrived on the live servers. Auriel enters the Nexus and brings a whole range of abilities from the Diablo universe. As a member of the Angiris Council, she possesses the unique ability to bring dead players back to life. Alternatively, she can encase herself or allies in a crystal that explodes after a short time.

In line with the release of the angelic woman, let’s take a look at her abilities:
Her trait is Source of Hope, which is cast on an ally. As long as the ally remains near Auriel, the ally’s attacks energize Auriel, which can then be used for “Heavenly Beam”.
Blessed Swing damages all enemies in a cone-shaped area. Targets in the center of the cone take double damage.
Her healing ability is Heavenly Beam, which consumes all accumulated energy and heals nearby allies.
Revenant Strike deals damage to the first hero hit and knocks them back. If the target collides with a wall, they take double damage and are stunned for 1.25 seconds.
Her first heroic ability is Crystal Aegis. An ally is put in stasis for 2 seconds. Once the effect ends, all nearby enemies take heavy damage.
The second heroic ability is Resurrection. Auriel summons the spirit of a fallen ally over 3 seconds and revives them with 50% of their health.

Auriel currently costs 15,000 gold coins. Those not willing to pay this amount can wait a few weeks, then the price of new heroes will be reduced by 5,000 gold coins. Alternatively, you can unlock her with real money for €9.99.

In the sandbox world of the space simulation No Man’s Sky, there is much to do, but little explanation. The game wants you to discover a lot on your own.
If you need a bit of assistance, we are happy to help you. For example, with antimatter. Essentially, it is the fuel you need to use your hyperdrive and travel to distant stars. It is therefore a very important resource. You will notice this early in the game. As soon as you are off the first planet, you will certainly want to make your hyperdrive. To do this, you need warp cells. To craft these, you must be in possession of antimatter.
Make Antimatter Yourself
An alien outpost nearby has this substance, so you can relatively easily obtain it in the beginning. However, your ship constantly needs fuel, which is why you must make antimatter yourself. To do this, it is necessary to find the corresponding crafting recipe. After jumping to the next star system, you will be led to an abandoned facility. There you can find the recipe in the control console.
To make antimatter yourself, you first need Electron Vapour, which you obtain from once Suspension Fluid and 100 times Plutonium. From one Electron Vapour, 20 Zinc and 50 Heridium, you will create antimatter. However, you still won’t have a fuel cell for your spaceship. You will only obtain this from once antimatter and 100 times Thamium. Of course, you also have the option of simply buying antimatter from NPC traders, but the resource is extremely expensive.
In a week, fans of Titanfall 2 can expect detailed information and fresh multiplayer gameplay.
The upcoming shooter Titanfall 2 is among the most highly anticipated titles set to release this fall. Alongside Battlefield 1, this is the second FPS that EA will bring to market in October. However, since both games are fundamentally different and target diverse audiences, the publisher does not expect the games to interfere with each other.
At Gamescom, there will not only be gameplay for BF1 but also a large-scale multiplayer event for Titanfall 2, as recently announced.
The “Factions Multiplayer Event” in the Stream
This event is set to take place on August 16 in a livestream. It is called “Factions Multiplayer Event.” Numerous gaming personalities from YouTube and Twitch will be divided into two teams and get to battle each other.
You can watch the action on the Titanfall Twitch channel. It starts on August 16 at 8 PM. However, it is worth tuning in early, as the livestream begins at 7:15 PM. There may also be exciting announcements in advance.
This event is supposed to prepare fans for the upcoming open beta of Titanfall 2, according to Respawn. Details about this public test are expected to follow “very soon.”
Titanfall 2 is set to be released worldwide on October 28 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
It was clear that the players of the online game No Man’s Sky would try to find each other in the vast universe. And that did happen – but not quite as hoped.
In principle, No Man’s Sky is an MMO. There are thousands of players in the universe, but they are very spread out. According to the game’s developers, it is supposed to be nearly impossible for two players to meet. But such statements are a challenge for gamers who want to make the impossible possible. And so it happened that two players noticed they were coincidentally in the same solar system. The player TheSadCactus noticed that another player named Psytokat had already given this system a name.
An Encounter of the Invisible
So the two wanted to meet as well. They communicated through the PSN and agreed on a meeting point. However, upon arrival, the two players could not see each other, even though they were at the same spot. Additionally, the day-night cycle of the planet did not correspond for both. While one was experiencing day, the planet for the other was in the night phase. It seemed as if the players were not in the same instance.
Causes Unknown
It is currently unclear what this is due to. The developers at Hello Games actually explained that it is possible – albeit highly unlikely due to the size of the universe – for players to meet. Therefore, the disappointment was naturally great when they could not see each other at a meeting. One problem could be that one player was continually struggling with PSN connection drops. Another plausible reason could be that the servers were simply overloaded at the game’s launch.
The two players, however, want to keep trying to meet.
You can give forging orders at this NPC in the Tower, pick up weapons, test weapons, and win exclusive Exotics through quests. But only if you have enough reputation points with him.

In No Man’s Sky, Hello Games talks about what the game is exactly – and what it is not.
Today is the launch of No Man’s Sky on PS4. Many fans have been waiting for this day for quite some time, when they can take the controller in hand and lift off into the seemingly infinite universe.
However, not everyone will have pure joy in the game and burst into cheers. If you belong to the late deciders and haven’t pre-ordered the game yet, Sean Murray, the founder of Hello Games, explains exactly what No Man’s Sky is – and what it is not.
This is No Man’s Sky
No Man’s Sky is a limitless procedurally generated sci-fi space survival sandbox. According to Murray, the game is different from all the other games you have played before.
Survival and crafting in a sandbox that has the dimensions of a universe.
A fantastic soundtrack from his (Murray’s) favorite band.
Furthermore, you should feel for a brief moment as if you are stepping into the cover of a sci-fi book.
It is a quirky game, a niche game, and a “very, very relaxing game.” Therefore, Murray also knows that No Man’s Sky will not be for every player. He expects it to be “super controversial.”
Via Twitter, the founder of Hello Games clearly stated that No Man’s Sky is not a multiplayer game. You should not acquire it with the expectation that you will encounter many other players. Because the chances of two players ever crossing paths is close to zero.
There are online features and Easter eggs so that people know they are all playing in the same universe. But it is only about cool moments. You should not expect multiplayer action.
Currently, you cannot build cities or civilizations in No Man’s Sky. You also cannot control powerful space freighters. However, Murray also said that such features may come after launch with updates.
Today, Cortyn is upset about news sites that don’t care much about providing sources. A frustrating everyday occurrence in this business.
Copying, Rewriting, Forgetting Sources
Guys, gals, grab the popcorn because Cortyn is angry again. Today, it’s not directly about games but rather about other gaming sites and news portals. As expected, this is also a fiercely contested market. It’s about clicks, advertising revenue, and all the things that are often not talked about but are necessary to keep such a site running. And increasingly, it seems to be the case that sources are not even mentioned – at least not when it would require referencing a “competitor’s site.”
No question, there are news items that read very similarly across all major sites. This is usually because there was a unified press release that people heavily relied on. Alternatively, a large English site has some exclusive news that then spreads. It is quite normal for the outcome to read similarly on all German sites.
When they don’t even change the headline…
However, I grow a third horn out of my forehead when people brazenly copy and then don’t even have the decency to name us as a source. It gets even better when they don’t even think of coming up with a new headline. Care for an example? A few days ago, I wrote the news ‘WoW: “We did not do enough with Warlords of Draenor”‘. It was based on an interview from the English site PCGamesN. I even cheated a bit because the sentence “We did not do enough with Warlords of Draenor” does not appear in that form in the interview but rather reflects the content of the complete interview.
A certain other site that I will simply call “BuffSpell.com” shortly thereafter wrote their own news titled: ‘WoW: “We did not do enough for Warlords of Draenor” – Blizzard admits’ – they didn’t even bother to disguise the copied content at all. You can look it up if it’s not obvious enough who I mean. That the news only specifically addresses the same two points that I also highlighted is almost a given.
Coincidences that don’t exist
The same thing happened with the story about the Scarlet Quartermaster. To my knowledge, no other German site had this before – because I learned about this trader in the beta and waited for the day of the Darkmoon Faire to publish it. And – oh wonder – a certain site took it up a few hours later. Of course, again without mentioning sources. Did they happen to research the same thing in the beta as I did, darn it! But quickly taking their own screenshots and slapping “Source: BuffSpell” on the image apparently suffices. I would be utterly ashamed.
I must confess that before Mein-MMO.de, I wrote little for other sites, so I don’t know if such behavior is “the norm” everywhere. Personally, it bothers me immensely. I’m quite glad to have a boss who places a lot of value on source attribution. I (and quite a few other writers on the site) believe that it’s simply good manners not only to mention the pure “information source,” which usually has an English origin, but also the one that brought attention to something. After all, without either of those, the news on our site would not exist. Perhaps it’s naive and foolish to expect such decency in our “eat or be eaten” world, but seriously: what can one lose? A little bit of ego because you link to another site? The great danger of losing one or two readers because they check that you didn’t have the news first?
I certainly don’t want to present ourselves as the great savior in the sea of news sites because we make mistakes too. But I’m quite proud that we at least don’t shy away from honest source attribution. For me, this has something to do with the last bit of honor and decency one can offer someone when they are using someone else’s work. Source attribution is something you learn in elementary school, after all. Or what do you think?
Wow… this has turned out to be a bit longer than originally planned. Perhaps you enjoy this little insight into what really drives news site authors up the wall.

A few days later, the PvP was revised: The weapon damage was increased, so that agents now deal 20% more damage to each other. According to the YouTuber Skill Up, this change caused DeadEYE to become the best set in PvP.
Useless in PvE, a Beast in PvP
The YouTuber noted in recent weeks that agents with shotguns dominate the Dark Zone. With 1-2 shots, other players can be eliminated. Currently, only the DeadEYE set can withstand this overpower. But what makes DeadEYE, specifically the talent of the set, so strong?

In The Division, there are four types of weapon damage, which will be displayed to you in different colors:
White numbers: Normal body shots
Red numbers: Headshot hits
Orange numbers: Critical body shots
Orange numbers: Critical headshot hits. These are also indicated in orange.
With the DeadEYE talent, all bonuses for headshot hits are removed for precision rifles, but every shot will be a critical hit (at least when you are not looking through the scope). Every damage will be displayed to you in orange.
You can increase critical hit damage by up to 320%, and the special thing is: To deal this massive damage, you don’t have to aim carefully at the head, but have the entire body as a target area. You can even spray fire with the sniper at close enemies from the hip and still deal extremely high damage. This is particularly useful in PvP, as other players rarely allow themselves to be shot at without moving.
But how much damage do you deal with the set in the Dark Zone with the 20% additional weapon damage? Assuming the opponents have around 400-500k toughness – which can currently be considered standard – you need about 4 body shots with an M1A to take them down. The optimal range of a sniper is significantly higher than that of a shotgun, giving you a significant advantage here.
However, you also need an impulse provider and a corresponding build to boost your critical hit damage. In the embedded video above, you can take a detailed look at Skill Up’s build.
In short: It increases the critical hit damage for nearly all items. Besides DeadEYE, he relies on two pieces of the B.L.I.N.D. sets, which grant him +20% critical hit damage through the impulse provider. In addition, he builds on 400k toughness himself, as he would otherwise go down too quickly in PvP.
Especially in combination with explosive rounds, Skill Up sees this set as too strong, as it requires little skill to deal extremely high damage. With this gear setup, it becomes too easy for agents to deal huge amounts of damage.
Have you tested this set in the Dark Zone? What do you think about it?
The launch trailer has been released for No Man’s Sky.
If you’ve been counting down the days for weeks until No Man’s Sky finally launches, you know that today is the day: Today, on August 10th, it starts for us on PS4. While PC users have to wait until August 12th, the galaxy can be ruthlessly explored by PlayStation fans starting today.
The game has been running in the US since yesterday. On this occasion, the developers released a cool launch trailer that’s supposed to make the game even more enticing for you. You can watch it here:

In the trailer, the question is mentioned of what is actually at the center of the galaxy. For a short time, the black diamond, which is also the logo of No Man’s Sky, was visible. This entity is called Atlas and is important for obtaining Atlas Passes.
What this is all about, you can now explore for yourselves. The waiting time is over.
The Demon Hunter is now live in the European World of Warcraft ! We have the intro cinematic for you.
The Illidari March into Battle
Since the end of maintenance this morning (August 10, 2016), the Demon Hunter is also playable in Europe on the servers of World of Warcraft. At least if you have pre-ordered a version of the upcoming expansion “Legion”. Only Blood Elves and Night Elves have the opportunity to become a Demon Hunter for story reasons. Part of the introductory story takes place in the past during the time of the “The Burning Crusade” expansion. As an intro, this short video awaits you, recorded when players attack the Black Temple.

Apart from the Demon Hunters, players can now experience the introductory scenario and travel to the Broken Shore to the Tomb of Sargeras to witness the arrival of the Legion up close.
Furthermore, the Legion also began its attacks on the game world this morning and is landing in several zones to conquer Azeroth in the name of demons. Those who participate in the defense will be rewarded with special weapon skins, toys, and pets. Part of this event is also that players are whispered to in the capitals by demons who promise them special powers. Will you heed the whispers and reach for the corrupted power to destroy your friends as a raid boss?
The event will intensify in the coming weeks until “Legion” actually launches on August 30, and players can flood to the Broken Isles.
To prepare thoroughly for the latest chapter of World of Warcraft, it’s worth checking out our overview page for Legion.

In No Man’s Sky, we will take a closer look at the items “Atlas Pass” and “Atlas Stone”.
No Man’s Sky offers you a gigantic universe in which you can move freely. When you see a foreign planet, you simply fly towards it. If you find a cave, you can just go inside. There are no limits for you. Or are there?
There are also places where you cannot just stroll in. In fact, there are many locked doors and sealed containers. If you want to open these, you will receive a message that an Atlas Pass of a certain version is required. For example, there is the “Atlas Pass v1”. What is it all about?
The Atlas Passes are universal keys that are easy to craft as long as you have the blueprints for them. However, obtaining an Atlas Pass blueprint requires time and effort.
Atlas Leads You to the Atlas Passes
In No Man’s Sky, there is an “Atlas”, an entity that helps to hold together all parts of the universe. This “Atlas” is represented as a diamond and is the symbol of No Man’s Sky:
After you have mastered a few missions in the game, you will be tasked to investigate a specific monolith. This will show you a waypoint to Atlas, so you can directly warp to an Atlas Base.
Now you just need to have enough Warp Cells and embark on the journey there. Once you arrive, you will be rewarded with an Atlas Pass. Even at later points, Atlas will send you to various artifacts where you can obtain the passes.
What is the deal with Atlas Stones?
Inside an Atlas Station, you will also receive an Atlas Stone. These stones are valuable items that you can exchange for a lot of Units (around 75k). How to quickly get money, you can read here.
There are also increasing reports that you should keep 10 Atlas Stones. These are said to be important for the end of the game.
By the way: The closer you get to the center of the universe, the better passes you will receive. With a higher-ranked Atlas Pass, you can open more secure doors and containers.
A user reports that he found an Atlas Pass v1 in a space anomaly while exploring a new solar system:
Inside this anomaly, he spoke with a being that gave him the blueprint. With 25 iron and 10 heredium, the item could then be crafted. This Atlas Pass can also be sold for 825 Units.
Those who game daily are better at math and those who use Facebook cannot calculate well. What is true about this new study?
Games enhance student performance
It’s an eternal back and forth. Video games make you stupid. No! Yes! Oh!
A new study by RMIT University in Melbourne has once again addressed this prejudice and analyzed the online behavior and PISA results of more than 12,000 Australian adolescents aged 15.
The result may surprise some people. Because those who play online games daily scored on average 15 points more in the math tasks of the PISA study than classmates who refrain from such games. In the scientific area, the difference was even 17 points. Gamers were also clearly better in reading.
Daily gaming enhances math performance – is there any truth to it?
Social media users are worse at math
It looks significantly worse for all users of social networks. Those who write messages on Facebook daily have on average 20 points less in the mathematical area than classmates who keep away from social media.
However – and this must be made clear – these correlations are not monocausal according to the researchers. So it cannot always be definitively stated what causes and effects are. For example, someone who spends the whole day posting various videos or chatting with friends on WhatsApp may neglect their school obligations. On the other hand, it is “also possible that the weaker students maintain social contacts with others more strongly” and therefore increasingly resort to social media.
Ultimately, internet consumption is only one of many influencing factors that affect a child and contribute to success and failure. More strongly influencing the grade point average is (who would have guessed?) skipping classes or having a migration background.
Mein-MMO says: At least for MMOs, it is still relatively easy to understand why heavy players perform better in math. Anyone who has listened to two professionals discussing “theorycrafting” could very well think they landed in math class. Memorizing, such as boss fights and their abilities, trains the brain and certainly contributes to improving the memorization of content.
