Soon the big Patch 9.0.1 for World of Warcraft will arrive. We reveal what you can look forward to.
The release date of WoW: Shadowlands has just been postponed, but the big pre-patch is already around the corner. Patch 9.0.1 brings many new features and content designed to keep you engaged until the actual release of Shadowlands.
Players will have several weeks to familiarize themselves with the new features and benefit from the many changes. We reveal the 5 most important innovations coming with Shadowlands.
The article was originally from August and was updated on October 6, 2020.
Level Squish – Suddenly Level 50 Again
The biggest change that all players will experience after logging into Patch 9.0.1 is the reduction of character levels. Those who were previously at level 120 will now find themselves at level 50. If you were not yet at 120, your level will now be correspondingly lower. You can see the complete list of level losses here.
Level 50 will be the maximum level until the release of Shadowlands, which will then increase to level 60 with the expansion.
This also means that all character stats will shrink significantly. Health points, healing, and damage will be reduced to a fraction of the current values. Since all enemies will also shrink accordingly, the impact on the actual strength of the characters should be minimal. Everyone should still be able to handle the same type of content as before.
Those leveling new characters will now be rewarded at every level. With each level-up, you will receive either a new ability, a new talent, or a new unlock. This makes every level increase feel rewarding, and there will always be something new to discover.
Return of Many Old Abilities and Talents
All classes and specializations will be revised with Patch 9.0. Particularly some classes (like the Shadow Priest) will receive significant changes that will profoundly alter the gameplay experience.
Many abilities are returning – there is something for almost every class.
But even aside from the major revisions all classes are getting some abilities back that they can use across all specializations. This is Blizzard’s way of returning some of the identity to many classes. For instance, all mages will be able to throw Frostbolts or cast Fireblasts again – regardless of specialization.
And here’s a special treat for hunters: Your stable size will increase to a whopping 205 slots.
New Character Customizations
The character customizations in World of Warcraft have aged poorly. Many races have only a handful of options for individualizing their appearance. Surely everyone has seen several clones of their own character running around in the game world.
With Patch 9.0, this changes significantly. All races will receive a variety of new customizations. Night Elves can put some hair in their leaves or wear cool chokers around their necks, while Blood Elves will receive different body jewelry or Draenei can adjust the length of their tails. In addition to new skin colors for all races (where especially Elves are hotly debated), there are also new face shapes for Humans that allow for a more Asian or African American look.
Yes, these are all Void Elves – this is how they can look in Shadowlands.
Even though role players are probably the most excited about these new customization options, everyone else will likely enjoy them too. And hey, if you’ve always wanted to see what your character looks like as a member of the opposite gender, that is now possible. The barber will also provide gender transformations for gold with Patch 9.0.1.
Allied Races Easier to Unlock
Allied Races were one of the major features of Battle for Azeroth. However, the unlocking of these races is quite tedious for some players. Those who do not like to complete world quests or grind reputation will not enjoy the new species as quickly.
Allied races will be easier to unlock.
With the Pre-Patch 9.0, the most annoying part of this barrier will be removed. The reputation requirements, which usually required a revered reputation, will be eliminated. Instead, it will now only be necessary to complete the main quest chain of an area or the respective race. For example, if you want to unlock the Highmountain Tauren, you will only need the achievement “No Mountain Too High,” which you get for completing the quest lines in Highmountain. For Kul Tirans, you only need to complete the achievements “A United Nation” and “Waves of Revenge.”
This reduction of requirements applies to all Allied Races. Those who have not unlocked them yet will likely have an easy time after Patch 9.0.
The Mentor System
Do you enjoy being helpful? Do you like assisting newcomers when they take their first steps in World of Warcraft or have questions?
Then the mentor system might be just for you. If you meet some requirements, you can soon apply to be a mentor. You will receive a special symbol next to your character name that can be seen by newcomers. In the chat channel for newcomers, you will be a point of contact to help fresh players with their problems or give them tips.
As a mentor, everyone will look up to you … well, maybe.
So if you enjoy watching new, eager players slowly but surely become jaded, bitter professionals, you should try being a mentor. Of course, you can also just be nice and help improve the game’s atmosphere for all players…
What else is coming? Patch 9.0.1 has even more in store. There will be a big Scourge event that marks the start of Shadowlands. In this event, you can also finally attack a hated character. When exactly this event begins is still not fully clear, but it will be limited and will end with the official release of the expansion. This will be a unique opportunity that players should not miss.
When will the Pre-Patch come? The Pre-Patch 9.0.1 will be released on October 14, 2020. How long it will remain active until the Shadowlands expansion starts is still unknown – as an announcement of the new launch date is still pending. However, it will likely be several weeks before it finally goes to the Shadowlands.
What are you particularly looking forward to in the upcoming WoW patch?

The beta phase of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War starts tomorrow (on October 8) on PlayStation 4. The developers have now revealed new details and made it clear: There will be weapon blueprints like in Modern Warfare, and you can get the first one in the beta.
What can I grab in the beta? Call of Duty wants to give you a deep insight into the multiplayer of the new Black Ops and offers an extensive beta phase for Cold War over 2 extended weekends. Here you can find all information about the beta test.
How will that happen? To access the SMG Type 821 blueprint, you must reach account level 10 in the beta. Once the game releases on November 13, you can use your first weapon blueprint.
According to a CoD blog post on callofduty.com, it is now known that there will be a leveling system in the beta. While in the alpha all players were stuck at level 1 and the equipment was already unlocked at the start, in the beta you will need to level up and earn the gear first. This includes:
Weapons
Equipment
Create-a-Class Slots
Scorestreaks
The attachments for individual weapons may already be fully available once you’ve unlocked a weapon. However, you may need to level up first in this case as well. You can already fully utilize the gunsmith – the alpha offered 17 weapons.
One of the scorestreaks from Cold War: A nasty grenade launcher
Beta on PS4 starts on October 8
When does the beta run? The test runs over 2 weekends in 4 different access phases. PlayStation 4 players have a total of more time to check out Cold War:
October 8 – 9
Only PS4 and only pre-order players have access
October 10 – 12
Only PS4, but all players with PS Plus have access
October 15 – 16
Access for PS4 players with PS Plus and pre-order players on PC and Xbox (Xbox Live required)
October 17 – 19
This is the open beta phase for everyone – players on PS4, Xbox One, and PC have access (PS Plus or Xbox Live required on consoles)
What else does the beta offer? You can look forward to some new modes that are newly introduced with Cold War, as well as traditional modes:
How many and which maps the beta will offer has not yet been revealed by the CoD creators. In the alpha there were three 6vs6 maps and two 12vs12. There will probably be at least one more map for the large Fireteams mode. The developers have already hinted that the beta will be significantly more extensive than the alpha phase. So you might see even more maps from the new CoD. Here you can find our review of the alpha phase of Cold War.

The PlayStation 5 is still officially sold out. This is the heyday for scalpers on eBay, trying to sell the consoles at increasingly absurd moon prices. Recent extreme examples are already in the 5-digit range and also demand shipping fees!
How much is the PS5 right now? Those looking to buy a PlayStation 5 will not have much luck in the official retail. Therefore, desperate PS5 fans are searching for deals on eBay, but various scalpers are currently trying to sell supposedly safely pre-ordered consoles for absurd markup prices.
A look at the German eBay shows two particularly outrageous examples of moon prices:
One user is offering the console for €9,999.99 and also wants €7 for shipping. However, he is open to “price suggestions”.
Another seller from the UK is offering the console for €5,500.57 as an opening bid. Those who do not want to bid can also buy it immediately for an absurd €11,001.14. eBay converts pounds to euros here directly.
A look at eBay on October 7, 2020. Source: eBay.de
On British eBay, there is also a seller offering the console plus extra controller for around €8,352.42. This amount can also be paid in monthly installments via PayPal. If you live within a 50-mile (about 80 km) radius of the seller, the guy will even deliver the stuff personally.
What might the store Game Romford say about such offers? Source: eBAy.co.uk
Moreover, he cheekily holds a receipt in front of the camera, which is supposed to show the supposed status of the correct pre-order. Together with some personal information that Forbes has already forwarded to the relevant shop. The scalper is likely not very welcome there anymore.
PlayStation 5 still scarce – Paradise for scalpers
Aside from these extreme examples, at the time of this article (October 7, 2020), there are 18 PS5 devices listed on eBay being offered for over €1,000. This is more than double the official retail price for the disc version.
https://youtu.be/oYHSsJNbfcA
The PS5 really seems to have no limits, even when it comes to price.
This unpleasant situation probably won’t change anytime soon, because even the second wave of pre-orders turned into a disaster and sank into chaos. Worse yet: Even supposedly secure pre-orders were canceled afterwards. The providers’ websites simply couldn’t handle the surge of pre-orders and likely granted more pre-orders than devices were available.
The PlayStation 5 is supposed to offer a modern sound feature with 3D audio. However, TV owners will have to wait. The technology will not be available on TVs at launch. Most headsets are expected to support the features.
What’s it about? Sony relies on an improved version of its existing 3D audio system used on PlayStation 4. Sony’s enhanced technology on PlayStation 5 is called 3D Tempest Audio. However, Sony has now explained in the official PlayStation Blog (in English) that the technology will not work on TVs:
We are currently working on virtual surround sound through speakers built into televisions. Although virtual surround sound through TV speakers will not be available on the day of PS5 release, it is still a feature we are very excited about, and our engineers are working hard to bring it to PS5 in the future.
However, Sony also stated that headphones and headsets will work with 3D audio on PS5. “You can use 3D audio with the headphones that many of you already have, either through a USB connection to the console or by plugging your headphones into the 3.5mm headphone jack of the DualSense Wireless Controller.”
Both old headsets and headphones that you already own or are looking to buy should be compatible with the new technology.
Recommended gaming headsets on Amazon: The following headsets support both the PS4 and the upcoming PlayStation 5. We have selected three devices for you:
The Corsair HS60 Pro is a solid headset made of high-quality materials with very good microphone quality. On PC, you can also use Corsair’s iCUe software for sound adjustment. The sound is decent and balanced, but nothing special.
The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 2 offers very good audio and voice quality and decent battery life in wireless mode. However, the ear cups fit quite snugly and may not be to everyone’s taste.
The Sony PlayStation 4 Platinum Headset already supports 3D audio on the PlayStation 4, fits very comfortably on the ears, and provides good sound quality. However, the microphone is not that great. The additional companion app feels a bit tacked on.

PS5 and 3D Tempest Audio – what’s behind it
What exactly is 3D audio? According to Sony, 3D audio allows individual sounds to be precisely placed in a virtual space. However, object-based audio formats have existed for a while with Dolby Atmos and are not an invention of Sony.
The advantage of this system is that the audio does not come as a package, like with multiple channels. Instead, individual sounds can be positioned accurately.
During playback of the sound data, special software processes the sound. The headset or speakers receive calculations from the software regarding how loud certain sounds should be or how they should be played back.
Sony’s console is currently sold out everywhere, but there could very well be a 3rd wave for pre-orders coming soon.

For the beta of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, system requirements for PC are now available. How powerful do the processor and graphics card need to be, and how much space do you need on the SSD?
When does the beta start? For PC players who pre-ordered, the first open beta for Cold War begins on October 15. For non-pre-order customers, it starts on October 17. The test phase runs until October 19. If you also have a PS4 at home, you can play the Cold War beta starting October 8.
You still have a few days to get your gaming PC in shape. Because now it is known how powerful the system should be to run the game efficiently.
What do you need? If you play on the lowest settings, meaning you lower the graphics significantly, an “Intel Core i5 2500k” processor or a comparable piece of AMD hardware will suffice. It has been around for several years since its release, but it still manages to handle the latest installment of the CoD series.
The developers recommend at least a GTX 670 or GTX 1650 from Nvidia as a graphics card. If AMD powers the graphics in your computer, then for the minimum requirements, a Radeon HD 7950 is already enough.

The Twitch streamer Lacari was determined to get a specific character in the co-op RPG Genshin Impact. He even spent $2,000 for it. When he finally got it, he completely lost his mind with joy.
What happened? In Genshin Impact, certain characters can only be unlocked through a gacha system. This works similarly to loot boxes and has only a small chance of getting the desired character.
With the premium currency Fates, you can buy the so-called “Wishes”. You earn this currency in small amounts in-game, but you can also purchase it with real money. The latter is easier and faster.
What happened next? Lacari kept spending money and invested a total of $2,000 in the otherwise free game. He continually hoped and begged to get his desired character.
Then, he got lucky and received Keqing.
In sheer joy, the streamer could barely contain himself; he screamed and jumped out of his chair. He celebrated the unlock for over 30 seconds.

Why is he spending so much money? Genshin Impact is an RPG that can be played solo or cooperatively with friends. The game offers no PvP and has otherwise few contents that require everything to be unlocked.
Yet, some players still have the desire to obtain all content. This is one of the reasons why Free2Play games are often seen as traps for spending money. They obscure costs and hide content for which payment is required later. However, even if these things can be grinded in-game, some choose to take the shortcut via real money. After all, time is also a precious commodity.
A new MMORPG is currently being developed in Korea, backed by a budget of over 35 million dollars. It is intended to be a pure PC game aimed at international players.
What kind of game is it? Under the project title N1, the Korean studio Nyou is working on a fantasy MMORPG that targets the international market.
The Unreal Engine 4 will be used to ensure highly detailed graphics. It is not known whether there will be a shift to Unreal Engine 5.
The MMORPG is to be a pure PC game
It is set to be released worldwide and will be published via Steam
The scenario is expected to mix a rather realistic medieval setting with fantasy elements
You will make decisions throughout the game that will affect the further course
All characters are designed in a more western style. There will be no sexualization of heroines
Big money for a new MMORPG
What about the budget? The developers have managed to raise more than 35 million dollars from 9 investors, including the KDB Development Bank. This amount is intended to create a large MMORPG that places a high value on production quality and aims to be successful in the international market.
Through this investment, we will recruit talented people to improve the quality of the game. In particular, through active collaboration with strategic investors, who have top-notch know-how and service infrastructures for game development, the creation of high-quality game content, and a successful business, we do our best to develop a successful game.
Nyou-CEO Kim Jeong-hwan
What does the game look like? Currently, there is only one artwork showing some characters. These do not give the impression of an Asian MMORPG. This indicates the strong focus on marketing project N1 in western countries.
This is the first and only artwork of the MMORPG Project N1 so far.
When is the MMORPG expected to be released? The release is planned for late 2021 via Steam.
What do you expect from this MMORPG? Are you looking forward to it? Do you think that 35 million dollars is a big enough budget?
In Pokémon GO a special event weekend is starting in early November in Mexico. Even though it is thousands of kilometers away, you will also have something from it.
This is the event in Mexico: Pokémon GO has a partnership with 7-Eleven in Mexico and this event celebrates it.
At the event, 15 different Pokémon will appear in Mexico, including the letters S and E from Unown. But German players also have something from the event.
Mexico Event Brings Shiny Kastadur
Here’s the deal with new Shinies: A highlight of the event is the introduction of Shiny Kastadur. The Pokémon is supposed to appear more frequently there and also for the first time in its shiny version.
What do German players get from it? In the past, there have been location-based events that brought new Shinies worldwide. This was the case this year with Lampi or Voltobal . The shiny versions of these came into play through Safari Zones and were also released worldwide during the same weekend.
Kastadur is likely to join that list. It is hard to imagine that Niantic would introduce a new Shiny for one day and then block it again worldwide.
When does the event take place? On November 7, the event will take place in Mexico. Here in Germany, however, you probably won’t notice anything.
During that weekend, we will have to wait for confirmation of Shiny Kastadur outside of Mexico. Once that is confirmed, the shiny hunt can also begin here in Germany.
What happens until then? In October, there is still a lot going on in Pokémon GO! New events await you every week and legendary Pokémon celebrate their comeback. We have provided you with an overview here:
The Twitch streamer and known WoW player Byron “Reckful” Bernstein was working on his own MMO before his death this summer. The development team is determined to complete the game despite difficulties.
What kind of game is it? Everland is a retro MMO that, like the upcoming MMO Naïca, visually reminds of 16-bit RPGs from the SNES era. The focus of the game is on the social interaction between players.
You meet online with friends, exchange ideas, explore the world, and can complete quests together. In addition, there are mini-games, you can build your own house, and customize your character with cosmetic items.
Essentially, Everland is meant to be a second home for players to simply have a great time together.

Reckful suffered from depression and wanted to create Everland as a place where everyone is welcome and can have fun.
What is the status of the MMO? The development team reached out to the community in an open letter, stating that the team has no plans to abandon the game. However, an inheritance process is currently underway concerning the company of Byron “Reckful” Bernstein and also the assets of the game Everland.
It may take up to a year for this process to be completed. Probably even longer due to delays caused by the Corona pandemic.
The outcome of the process is currently uncertain. However, the team is determined to continue unless they are prohibited from working on the game. This depends on the outcome of the inheritance process.
So the development team now has to wait for the court’s decision and whether the development of Everland can continue.
What does this mean for Everland? We still have to be patient for a longer time before we can play the MMO – provided that work can continue…
In Call of Duty: Warzone a player went all-in in the final round and won the game, even though it seemed everything was lost. Check out here on MeinMMO how this crazy stunt came about.
What happened? A CoD Warzone player, known on reddit only as richards18, made it with his squad to the last round of a Warzone battle. But things did not look good. His team was cornered and the toxic gas was getting closer. A desperate push by his teammate into the safe zone was brutally stopped by a hail of bullets, and the poor man went down.
richards18 knew the situation was hopeless. He couldn’t get out of cover and the cover was being flooded by gas. So he made a risky decision. He immediately requested an airstrike on the position of the enemies, who were all holed up in the now tiny final circle of the safe zone.
The gas in the final round is particularly deadly.
As soon as the request to the air force is out, the poor richards18 is shot down and lies there gasping on the ground as his last seconds among the living slowly tick away.
Airstrike in the final zone causes cinematic 6-kill and round victory
Here’s how it ended: What follows is a masterpiece of spontaneous staging that can only be experienced in battle royale games. Since the enemies couldn’t go anywhere else but hide in the – at least before the toxic gas – safe zone, they were helplessly exposed to the airstrike:

It hit just like Blücher and killed all six(!) enemies who thought they were safe there. The kill was so spectacular that the corpses tumbled around and literally flew around the still living richards18.
Since these six poor devils were the last enemies, richards18 and his team also won the round, even though they were actually already dead. There could hardly be a closer victory in Warzone.
This crazy stunt is a prime example of the cinematic scenes that can take place through the open gameplay of a battle royale game. This scene actually resembles a heroic war film, in which the mortally wounded hero still pulls off the game-changing act at the last moment. Besides the trick with the airstrike at the last second, there are also more pro tips to score more Warzone wins.

The World of Warcraft is becoming more colorful and significantly more inclusive with Shadowlands. And that’s just the beginning, many of these stories will follow.
World of Warcraft has tended to shy away from incorporating LGBTQ+ themes into the game in recent years. While there have been isolated instances, they were rather hidden or subtly included. This changes quite a bit with Shadowlands. The amount of engagement with these topics is increasing, although they are still intended to play a subordinate role.
How does this manifest in WoW? With Shadowlands, World of Warcraft opens up to broader representation and new customization options. There are numerous new settings for characters. This ranges from jewelry to hairstyles, makeup, and even the ability to change gender. New features include dark skin tones, Asian and African American facial features. This diversity is also applied to NPCs throughout the game world. Especially black elves have sparked lively discussions.
Dark-skinned elves are one of the new options.
WoW is also expanding in the representation of characters. Especially from the LGBTQ+ spectrum, many elements are being integrated. The developers apparently wanted these aspects not to be too prominent but to be seamlessly woven into the overall concept.
A few examples of this are:
The character Pelagos from Bastion lived in a female body but was never happy. In Shadowlands, he was able to choose a new form – like all souls. He is now a man and significantly happier. This is only revealed if specifically asked. For that, additional dialogue options have to be selected, which only story fans would click. Pelagos is therefore a transgender character.
In the book “Shadows Rising”, which tells the backstory to Shadowlands, such allusions are also found. In the golden city of Dazar’alor, for example, the marriage of a lesbian troll couple takes place, while Flynn Stonemantle and Mathias Shaw also grow closer throughout the story, ultimately leading to more than just friendship and resulting in a long journey together.
For a while now, love stories have been increasing in WoW.
That these aspects are only marginal mentions is not surprising. After all, sexuality, gender identity, and similar themes are just small aspects of the characters that are not crucial to the story. They are part of the overall picture of a character but are not particularly prominent traits that deserve special elevation.
They are meant to represent an accepted normality in World of Warcraft and thus provide a sense of openness and diversity that is part of everyday life.
There’s more to come: The implementation of such stories and content is likely not a one-time event that just peaks with the launch of Shadowlands. The developers have many ideas and want to incorporate this into future quests and NPCs as well. Steve Danuser, the Lead Narrative Designer of Warcraft, explained:
We have a team made up of many diverse individuals with different perspectives and backgrounds, and it is important for us to tell stories that move us and that reflect our concerns. We also want to make Azeroth a place that is representative and welcoming of many different perspectives. Whatever your background, there is a place for you in this world.
Danuser added:
We have received a lot of feedback from the community about cool things they would like to see, and it’s the same within our team. This is a beginning for us. It’s not like: ‘Okay, we’ve done this, and now we’re finished.’ We always think about more quests, more stories, more art, and more systems. We will definitely consider more opportunities to allow for more representation in the future.
What do you think about these changes in World of Warcraft? Is it good how these themes are treated and implemented? Or do you think they don’t belong in WoW at all?

Combat Tip: Alatreon is a powerful dragon with strong attacks. You cannot evade its strongest attack, a shockwave, but you can mitigate it.

The beta for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will start soon. We explain how and when you can download it on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, as well as what else you should pay attention to if you want to try the new CoD 2020 before its release.
Update October 7, 12:45: The download for the beta now seems to be working finally. Both myself and some friends I just asked can finally load the beta.
Update October 7, 11:15: The beta is now finally available in the German PS Store. You can find it here:
Keep in mind: You need to have digitally pre-ordered the game to be able to download the beta.
Update October 7, 10:50 AM: The trick from the Swedish PS Store unfortunately does not work in the German one. So for now, we still have to wait.
Update October 7, 10:00 AM: Even though the preload is officially said to have started according to Activision: Reports indicate that it is still not possible to download the beta as a pre-order customer in the German PS Store. However, the PS4 preload is already live in the UK and US stores. It seems to be a Germany-exclusive problem.
What you can currently try: The beta apparently is not displayed in the Swedish PS Store either – at least not directly. However, it seems to be findable by searching under “Add-Ons” for the game in the PS Store.
We have inquired about this issue with PlayStation and will keep you updated on the developments here.
When exactly does the Cold War beta start? The open beta for Black Ops Cold War will start this week. Players who have pre-ordered will receive early access.
Week 1:
October 8 – 9
Early access for pre-order customers on PS4

CoD Cold War Beta – Preload on PS4: If you have pre-ordered a digital version of Black Ops Cold War, you can now download the beta in the PS Store.
Search in your console’s PS Store for “Black Ops Cold War Beta” or simply follow this link here:
Meanwhile, you can also find announcements about the Black Ops Cold War beta through the in-game displays in Warzone and CoD: Modern Warfare.
Keep in mind: You need to have digitally pre-ordered the game to be able to download the beta. The download is 31.1 GB in size.
CoD Cold War Beta – Preload on PC and Xbox One: Here, the beta starts a week later. Accordingly, the preload for digital pre-orders will also be unlocked later. On Xbox One and PC, this will be active on October 13 at 5:00 PM German time. Can your PC even run the shooter? Here you can find the system requirements for Cold War.
On Xbox, you will need to search the store for the beta. On PC, you will find the beta under the “Partner Games” section in the Blizzard Launcher.
Also important:
Early access is only available for digital pre-order customers. If you have pre-ordered a physical version, you will not be able to start the beta early.
If you receive your beta access through Activision, Xfinity, or another promo campaign, the download code for the beta will be emailed to you.
Digital pre-order customers do not need a code and must search for the beta in the corresponding store or launcher.
To participate in the beta on consoles, a PS Plus membership is required for PS4 (even though Sony says otherwise), and Xbox Live is required for Xbox One.
The beta will be active during both weekends; you will not need to download it again on PS4. So do not delete the beta client after the first weekend! However, if you still have the alpha on your hard drive, you can remove it.
For everyone who did not pre-order Black Ops Cold War, it will only be possible to download the beta starting on the 10th (PS4) or October 17 (Xbox One, PC).
Will you check out the beta of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War? Did you pre-order CoD Cold War just to start earlier? Or are you waiting until everyone has free access to the beta?
With it, you will receive a few small gifts that can make your gameplay easier. The code includes:
20 Ultra Balls
One Star Piece
10 Berry
10 Niantic Stickers
Ultra Balls are always useful, as they catch Pokémon better than any other ball in the game. You can also use them for the current field research.
With the Berries, you can double the candies you receive, while the Star Piece increases the stardust you obtain.
Where does the code come from? Niantic shared the promo code via Twitter. Niantic is currently celebrating its birthday, which also recently appeared in Pokémon GO. Now it seems the party is to continue with some gifts for players:

How to redeem the code? Android users of Pokémon GO have a slight advantage when it comes to promo codes. You just need to open the shop in the app and scroll down. There, you will find the field where you only need to redeem the code.
This is what the field for the code looks like
On iOS, it’s different. With an Apple device, you have to visit the Niantic website and log in with your credentials. On the page, you can then enter the code and just wait a moment until the items are credited to you in the game.
If it doesn’t work right away, try again later.
How long is the code valid? You don’t need to rush, as the code is valid until October 13th. Accordingly, you have about a week to secure your gifts. Throughout the month, the Halloween event will also be coming up – who knows what to expect as a raid boss?

A comparison between Angel from BulletVille and Mercy from Overwatch
In the trailer, you can see clear resemblances of the heroes to Overwatch. Angel with her wings has many similarities with the healer Mercy.
In general, the humor in the trailer resembles the crazy characters encountered in Borderlands.
What do the players say?

“Borderlands meets Overwatch, but with parkour”
“This is everything I’ve been looking for. Crazy characters with unique abilities. I love it!”
“I saw the trailer here as an ad and the movement really got to me. I’m looking for cool movement mechanics like Titanfall 2 and I think this is it”

The first players have started in FIFA 21, and you can already earn a lot of coins. However, you need to be careful with your placement in FUT.
Where do the coins come from? In Ultimate Team, there are some innovations. One of them is that promotions from division to division are now partially rewarded with a substantial amount of coins. The special thing is: If you are placed in Division Rivals for the first time in your skill division, you get coins for all the divisions you skip. This means: If the game places you in Division 5, you receive coin rewards for the skipped divisions 10, 9, 8, 7, and 6.
It can happen that after 5 wins, you are placed directly in Division 2 and thus earn 124,000 coins. In lower divisions, there are still rewarding coin amounts ranging from 29,000 to 89,000 coins, depending on how high you were ranked. You can easily put together a good Bundesliga team with that.
A big plus that can be very useful at the start – even if you are a skilled trader. Therefore, the question is clear: How do you reach the highest division?
Squad Battles or Division Rivals?
How does the game determine my division? This point is important: In FIFA 21, there are two ways through which Ultimate Team determines your division. Namely, Squad Battles or the Division Rivals games.
In Squad Battles, you play against the AI. Here, the game determines your division placement based on the difficulty level and your results from the first 30 matches you play.
In Division Rivals , it is merely 5 matches after which you will be placed in the new division. Here, however, you play against real opponents.
What is more worthwhile? Currently, it looks like Division Rivals is the more lucrative way to secure many coins. In our test, three wins and two losses in Rivals were enough to land in Division 4 and earn over 50,000 coins at once. It went pretty quickly and was worth it.
In Squad Battles, on the other hand, you might face a simpler AI opponent but need significantly more matches. And, some players report that you are placed significantly lower in Squad Battles than in the placement matches. One user writes (via reddit): “I was just placed in Division 8 even though I played and won most matches on Professional/World Class.”
Do I have to choose? Not directly. In the end, it counts which you complete first – the 5 Rivals matches or the 30 Squad Battles. Thus, you can also try four Rivals matches, and if everything goes wrong, simply take the other route in Squad Battles.
However, it is still not completely clear whether this method will work forever: It is quite possible that the placement matches will be evaluated in relation to other players. After all, the division is determined by your skill rating. In this case, it could become increasingly difficult to jump into a high division with few wins as more players start playing after the FIFA 21 release. Then, it would make sense to finish the placement quickly.
Additionally, one should consider that the competition in the higher divisions is significantly tougher in the long run than further down.
If you are an extremely strong player and should dominate most of the 5 matches, you shouldn’t have any problems either. For a successful start, we have already gathered a few strong formations for you.

According to insider reports, Activision Blizzard is now likely closing its offices in Versailles, France. This was reportedly revealed to Blizzard employees this morning.
Where does the information come from? Jason Schreier reports via Bloomberg.com about the events at Blizzard. Schreier is known for having good contacts in the gaming industry and is considered a reliable source. According to his report, three people informed him today that Activision Blizzard conveyed the message to its employees in Versailles on Tuesday morning, October 6th.
The offices in Versailles are to be closed.
What happened at the location in Versailles? Blizzard has offices around the globe where employees work. At the Versailles office, around 400 people were still working for Blizzard in early 2019. They were responsible for marketing, customer support, and translations into various languages. In addition, there were other areas of responsibility for various titles from Activision Blizzard.
It was supposed to go differently
This is what the report says: The sources, whose names were not to be disclosed in the report, speak of different original plans. The plan was actually to relocate half of the office to the London location. However, Brexit and the coronavirus pandemic hindered this plan. This led to the decision to close the location.
It is unclear how many people will now lose their jobs. Allegedly, there will be more detailed information for the employees next week.
Restructuring to Activision: Once, the office in Versailles was solely a unit of Blizzard, responsible for games like Diablo and World of Warcraft. As reported by Bloomberg, during a restructuring, part of the staff was placed under the umbrella of “Activision Blizzard”.
Schreier explains: “A recent restructuring made half of the workforce part of Activision Blizzard. Another example of Activision’s growing influence in the company.”
This supports the report: Looking at the job postings at Blizzard, it really looks bad for the location in Versailles. There is exactly one open position posted, and that is for an HR Coordinator. The person is supposed to be responsible for terminating and hiring employees. The job would then be limited until May 2021.
By comparison: In Irvine, Blizzard is currently offering 205 jobs. (via careers.blizzard.com)
With FIFA 21, the new virtual football season has started. MeinMMO author Max Handwerk is building teams, nailing tricks – and finds: Progress is noticeable in three areas of the game.
The wind outside the window is getting stronger, the weather is getting worse, and the clouds are getting darker. Clear thing: Autumn is here, and just like the rapidly cooling temperatures, the annual FIFA title is making its way back in.
It’s become a bit of a ritual to ask: What has changed this year? Is FIFA 21 really a different game from FIFA 20? And more importantly: Is it better than FIFA 20?
I’ve had a chance to test the game for several days now, and I have the impression: FIFA 21 plays better than FIFA 20 in many aspects – even if much feels similar. Overall, it feels like a step in the right direction.
Who is writing here? MeinMMO author Max Handwerk took his first FIFA steps with the game FIFA World Cup 2002 and has never stopped tackling the virtual football field since. So he has accumulated quite a few years of FIFA experience. At MeinMMO, he has been covering the series since 2018.
The improved gameplay
What makes FIFA 21 better in terms of gameplay? Anyone starting their first FIFA 21 match will find much that is noticeably similar to its predecessor.
The graphics,
the appearance of the spectators,
the backdrop,
the commentary
All of this feels familiar; improvements can only be found in the details. At least that’s how it felt to me. However, one noticeable difference is in the gameplay, as it does indeed have new features.
Shortly after making the first passes into space, it becomes clear: Somehow, it runs more smoothly than in FIFA 20. Players make runs in FIFA 21 that I haven’t seen in FIFA 20 before. If you play Toni Kroos in midfield, you can be pretty sure that the maestro will find a way to get the ball to another player. That definitely makes it fun.
Overall, the gameplay feels realistic. The new Agile Dribbling is effective, but not completely overpowering. Creative Runs open up new possibilities for creating attacks – even if they feel quite unusual and are not easy to execute.
Thanks to the new gameplay, there are many ways to score goals
Goalkeepers block attacks strongly, but without it feeling like a completely fantasy movement. Crosses come – finally! – right to the head of the striker, who then pushes the ball into the goal. Goals from corners are happening.
Strange hits, where the ball bounces back and forth between the keeper, goalpost, and attacker five times before landing in the net, I haven’t seen yet.
In short: The gameplay gives you the feeling of having full control over what happens on the pitch. That’s not always the case with the FIFA series. And that’s already a big step forward.
The career mode
What makes the career mode better? The career mode is the favorite of many players when it comes to offline modes. Here, you can take over your favorite club – or any other team in the world – and lead them to success.
Talents like Haaland become stronger in the career mode
At least in my first days with the new FIFA installment, I’ve had a lot of fun with the mode. Also, because it has introduced more elements for club management and player development. In the detailed test of the career mode, I’ve already described this: The new simulation, the additional training options – all of this can keep you quite busy. But those who have a heart for football manager games will definitely be happy here. And seeing how the diligently scouted and signed talents become stronger is even more fun thanks to the new development options.
Ultimate Team makes it clear that it is not a football simulation
What makes Ultimate Team better? Ultimate Team is arguably the biggest mode in FIFA 21 and is packed with different modes. There are the classic competitive Division Rivals, Weekend League, revamped friendlies, Squad Battles, and the Draft. So far, so familiar – but much in FUT 21 is different.
In FUT 21 you can build your own stadium
Included are innovations like playing co-op online as well as the finally removed fitness cards. While the latter is just a small adjustment, it makes a noticeable positive difference: No more endlessly searching for fitness cards, your players are always ready to play. This eliminates a frustrating step.
Additionally, there are a whole bunch of new objectives and an improved reward system for advancing to a new division. Overall, playing is rewarded more.
The previously praised gameplay has also proven reliable in FUT so far. However, it remains to be seen how things will look when, starting on FIFA 21 release, the majority of players are in FUT, and the servers are under greater load. Because the best dribbling or passing mechanic is useless if it’s delayed due to performance issues.
Yes, that’s actually a squirrel for your stadium
Furthermore, FUT offers even more possibilities to personally customize your club. This is a bit of a double-edged sword:
While it’s a bit unrealistic that players are kicking a disco ball around in a completely blue dyed stadium while the crowd sings the ManU anthem behind a huge picture of a squirrel.
But customizing your own stadium is a lot of fun and motivates you to unlock further customization options. At least if you can accept that FUT is now an absolute fantasy mode and has little to do with football simulation.
There’s also a new main menu that should guide you faster through FUT. It has a new layout, which with unfamiliar paths from top to bottom led me several times to the wrong tab. Instead of the team, I suddenly edited my stadium. But well, that’s probably just a matter of habit.
To get to the stadium, go up, to the team go down. It’s quick – if you don’t click wrong.
A look ahead: Overall, the first days with FIFA 21 made a really good impression. Primarily because it’s fun to try out all the new gameplay tricks and learn how the game runs this year. It feels as if there isn’t a real meta yet, but that you can develop your own play style and succeed with it.
Are you a dribbler? Then it will be rewarded.
Do you prefer to whip long crosses into the box? No problem, that can also be a promising tactic.
Do you want to build your play around ball possession? This technique can also bring goals.
The career and Ultimate Team have interesting innovations – just like the Volta mode, which we still need to test further.
We can only hope that FIFA 21 can maintain this feeling. Because even in recent years, FIFA was particularly fun at launch but then changed due to updates and overly strong meta elements. One may recall the “Tornado crosses” from FIFA 19, which scored ridiculous amounts of goals.
But if FIFA 21 can build on the strong foundation it definitely has – then it could be an exciting season!

Twitch streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins is back in Fortnite: Battle Royale. Ninja seems to be enjoying the game again. However, he explains why building on PC is just stupid – unlike on consoles.
Together with his streamer colleague SypherPK, he played during a Twitch stream in duo mode until he was eliminated. The reason for his death: Apparently the slow building on PC.
I am tired of not being able to do what I need to do just because I can’t be fast enough.
Ninja in the stream
Ninja seems to be frustrated after desperately trying to build protection while being attacked by the last two opponents.

The streamer then explained that it is not fair that console players can build faster because they can adjust the sensitivity separately. This would be a feature that should have been available on PC a long time ago.
The fact that console players have a building sensitivity and PC players do not makes me feel the urge to hit something.
Ninja
What does Ninja mean by that? Here it is not directly about “building” itself, but the sensitivity that can be adjusted while building. There is a difference between PC and consoles.
On consoles, players can activate different settings for sensitivity. They can determine how fast or slow they want to aim without affecting other aspects of building. This feature was introduced in Season 6 – Chapter 1.
On PC, however, it is different because players can only set the sensitivity for the entire gameplay. If this is set high, players will notice an overall increased speed while moving, aiming, and building.
Building can give a decisive advantage in Fortnite
