During a recent playtest with the Amazon Games team, Dot Esports got to sample around two hours of New World, the studio’s big upcoming MMO—and the Party System in New World is a bit broken when it comes to giving out XP. While we were only able to explore a small section of the start of the game to get a feel for what it has to offer, the Party System stood out to us over anything else.

In Pokémon Go, Dragon types can make fierce enemies given the high damage output many can deal. They’re not completely defenseless, however. Ice-type Pokémon are the perfect counter to this threat. Whether you’re going up against a Grass, Ground, Flying, or Dragon-type opponent, Ice-type species are the best option. In Pokémon Go there are 18 different Pokémon types that vary in effectiveness when faced up against others. While some may boast the same move set, each has unique base stats that factor into their overall strength.

The simple format and strong social element of Wordle, combined with a puzzle that is just challenging enough, made it an internet phenomenon. Since its October 2021 launch, it has developed alternative versions with themes like Fortnite and League of Legends, but the main game has not lost its appeal. Each day, players must guess a different five-letter word with no more than six tries, but there are no clues except the letters themselves, changing colors after each correct guess.

Rejoice ARAM lovers—the ever-annoying poke Ashe support build has surged onto Summoner’s Rift and has given the popular marksman champion new life in an unintended role. Although one of the oldest champions in League of Legends, Ashe has withstood constant changes in the meta due to the sheer amount of crowd control she has in her kit, near incomparable for an ADC. With items like Imperial Mandate and Muramana, Ashe can spam these slowing abilities, including her ultimate with near-limitless range, almost without cooldowns, thus enabling her allies to capitalize and catapult her to the top of the current support meta seemingly out of nowhere.

For those new to Halo esports, one of the most historically dominant rosters of all time is back under a major brand while the scene regenerates following the launch of Halo Infinite. The Sentinels organization picked up Snakebite, Royal 2, and Lethul in early 2020, almost two full years before Infinite finally launched. The group’s track record speaks for itself, winning back-to-back Halo World Championships in 2016 and 2017 (one with CLG and one with OpTic) and an HCS Finals championship in 2018 under TOX Gaming.

When you’re on fire, nothing ruins a Call of Duty: Warzone session like a random error. Dev error 6634 and other similar errors, for instance, cause players’ games to crash and kick them out of their lobby. While you can shrug it off if you were just starting to loot, it may feel quite discouraging if this error happens toward the end of a match. Considering the error doesn’t come with an explanatory task and only includes a random number, it’s rather tricky to find the reason behind this error.

Dr Disrespect’s first Fortnite Zero Build Tournament was full of ups and downs. Prominent content creators formed duos and participated in the two-time’s $100,000 Hot Shot Tournament. While there were several big names in the lineup, Tfue and Zemie took the big prize home last night, after beating Typical Gamer and Ranger in the finals. The streamer-exclusive tournament featured popular content creators such as Ninja, CourageJD, and the event host Dr Disrespect.

Today’s VALORANT patch brought the typical Sage nerfs and bug fixes. But a new skin line is all the buzz. The Sovereign skin line includes fantasy-themed cosmetics for the Ghost, Stinger, Guardian, Marshal, and melee weapon. And a new finisher will remind League of Legends fans of Garen’s Demacian Justice ultimate. A VALORANT fan put together a video showcasing a bit of the skin line and its variants. New Sovereign skin line added with finishers/variants – Ghost from VALORANT The stock Sovereign skins are white with gold accentuations and adorned with blue gems.

You open up Destiny 2, eager to try the new content, be it a new season or an event. You’re looking forward to getting the new gear and even have three different shaders planned for each of your Guardians—until the game gives you a message that the servers are “temporarily at capacity.” New content releases attract a flock of players all trying to join the game at the same time. This creates a bottleneck in the game, and the servers simply don’t have enough load to accommodate the spike in demand.

The summer of 2021 is in full swing and will soon be winding to a close, meaning that autumn isn’t far away. Autumn means many things—it will get cooler outside, the leaves will change color, and the NFL will be returning. And for the last 15 years, autumn also means a new Call of Duty title is on the way. It’s like clockwork. A new CoD title releases every year, with the bulk of Activision’s studios working on the franchise, whether it be yearly titles or the ongoing updates to the successful battle royale that is Call of Duty: Warzone.
