On Fortnite, the premiere of a new song by the Korean band BTS was showcased on Saturday, September 26. To witness the spectacle, BTS fans downloaded Fortnite. Was it worth it?
This was the “concert” in Fortnite: On Saturday, September 26, 2020, at 2:00 AM German time, the premiere of the song “Dynamite” by the Korean K-Pop band BTS took place in Fortnite Party Royale. Players could relive the event later at 2:00 PM.
During this premiere, they showed the music video one hour before it was released on BTS’s official YouTube channel. The song was played a total of 3 times. The original was shown twice, along with an additional version featuring the lyrics and Fortnite skins dancing to it.

Here you can see the full premiere of the new BTS song that was introduced in Fortnite
After players were able to dance and enjoy the show, the “event” concluded with a beautiful fireworks display.
BTS Fans venture into the game for the first time
This is how fans of the Korean band reacted to the premiere: Since the song was initially only showcased exclusively in Fortnite, some fans likely entered the battle royale shooter to not miss the premiere.
Some of them shared their thoughts directly under the YouTube video:
“That was great. Maybe I’ll give Fortnite a chance and try it (the game) out.”
“I installed Fortnite just for this event. I even bought the matching emotes.”
“I’m not a fan of Fortnite. This is the only time I played, just to see this event.”
Some of these BTS fans might even stick around in Fortnite and discover a new game for themselves. They might already have stocked up on some emotes. For all those who are new to Fortnite, we have a guide with tips and tricks on how to master the game:
This is how Fortnite players reacted to the Korean band: The event was well received not only by BTS fans. Some of the original Fortnite players, who simply wanted to partake in the event, were also excited about the new song or the band itself.
They commented under the YouTube video about the premiere:
“I don’t like BTS, but I can’t deny that this event was great. Edit: I’m now obsessed with BTS.”
“Looks like K-Pop isn’t that bad after all.”
“I’m not a fan of K-Pop, but that was kind of cool. The Travis Scott concert was definitely better.”
Players make a comparison to the Travis Scott concert
In general, it seems that the “concert” was well received, but the comparison to the Travis Scott concert is frequently mentioned in the comments. The epic concert brought a massive Travis Scott into the Fortnite world and was one of the coolest events in Fortnite visually. In comparison, there is a significant difference, even though the BTS event also had its attractions.

There are now initial explanations for what is causing the crashes with the RTX 3080. The problems are likely due to a component: capacitors on the graphics card cannot withstand the performance spikes of the GPU.
What kind of crashes are these? Players have reported crashes with the RTX 3080. Initially, it was suspected that a too weak power supply could be the problem for some users, causing the graphics cards to crash.
However, the debate has now taken a completely new direction. The focus is on components used in the graphics cards.
What is the debate about?IgorsLab pointed out that certain components on the graphics card could be causing problems.
This is what it is about: The capacitors on the backside of the graphics card (red circle), which could be causing problems. On the other side of the capacitors is the graphics processor. In the image: a graphics card from ASUS.
RTX 3080 Crashes: Is a component to blame?
These components are at issue: The debate, which can be followed on reddit.com, is currently revolving around components used on the back of the graphics card.
It concerns the capacitors located on the back of the graphics card (see image). The graphics card needs these to operate at high performance and cope with changing frequencies. Good capacitors are therefore necessary if you want to overclock your card stably.
Simply put, graphics card manufacturers can choose between two types of capacitors to place on the back of the board and on the back of the graphics processor:
POSCAPs (Conductive Polymer Tantalum Solid Capacitors) are larger. However, they do not withstand high frequencies and performance spikes as well. They are better suited for low frequencies (via industrial.panasonic.com).
MLCCs (Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitors) are smaller and significantly more powerful, but they do not cope well with lower frequencies (via elektronik-kompendium.de).
Voltages are supposed to be better handled by MLCCs. Source: newark.com
On average, the smaller MLCC capacitors also cope better with high voltage fluctuations than the larger POSCAP components. However, the larger components are better suited for lower voltages (see image).
The capacitors also differ within their own groups: not all POSCAPs or MLCCs come from the same manufacturer. Whether the crashes of the RTX 3080 are actually due to the quality of the capacitors is currently hard to say: according to newark.com, the performance of the two capacitor types is very close to each other.
In principle, graphics cards that use a mix of POSCAPs and MLCCs seem to have better performance rates (via reddit.com), but that does not mean that other users do not have problems. There are also users affected who use graphics cards with MLCC capacitors (via overclockers.co.uk).
What is certain is that POSCAPs are significantly larger than ceramic capacitors. To illustrate the size difference between POSCAPs and MLCCs: 10 MLCCs fit in the space of one POSCAP.
RTX 3080: What speaks for and against the components
What we do not know: It is not yet known what voltage changes occur between the GPU and the power supply, and whether strongly fluctuating voltages are actually responsible for the problems. In technical terms, this unintentional voltage drop is called a “Brownout”.
A reddit user explains in a detailed post why he finds the discussion unhelpful, stating that “without knowing the frequency of the voltage drop, it is completely pointless to have a debate about a ‘team of small capacitors’ (better at high-frequency changes) versus a ‘large capacitor’ (better at low frequencies).”
If the voltages only fluctuate very slightly, the supposedly cheaper POSCAPs perform significantly better.
For example, Paul’s Hardware (in English) shows in his YouTube video that a whole range of graphics cards are affected – no matter which components they are using:

In his video, he tests the FE RTX 3080 from Nvidia, the ASUS TUF OC RTX 3080, the Gigabyte Gaming OC RTX 3080, and the Zotac Trinity (non-OC) RTX 3080. Under normal load, all graphics cards run stably, including those cards that are factory overclocked (Gigabyte and ASUS). Once the graphics cards exceed the 2GHz mark, all mentioned graphics cards crash above 2GHz.
What is in favor of it? Some users report that the problems are significantly reduced when the graphics card’s performance is lowered. (via techpowerup.com):
RTX 3080 – Graphics cards that are clocked down by 50 – 100 MHz do not reach frequencies over 2GHz even in Boost mode, resulting in significantly fewer frequency spikes.
RTX 3080 Crashes: What manufacturers say about the problems
What do manufacturers say? Several manufacturers have now commented on the problems: EVGA writes (via forums.evga.com) that they have exchanged components in production. EVGA has also stated that the problems only affect a certain group of graphics cards:
During our quality control for mass production, we found that a complete solution with 6 POSCAPs could not pass tests for real-world applications. It took almost a week of research and effort to find the cause and reduce the POSCAPs to 4 and add 20 MLCC capacitors before the production boards were shipped. For this reason, the release of the EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 series was delayed. No 6 POSCAP production cards of the EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 series were shipped.
Other graphics card manufacturers (via videocardz.com) have also commented:
COLORFUL has recalled graphics cards that had been sent for testing.
MSI acknowledged the issues during the MSI Insider livestream but currently attributes them to driver problems.
ZOTAC has since reported on Facebook with users. They should contact the manufacturer directly if they purchased a Zotac graphics card.
GALAX (via Videocardz.com on Twitter) stated that adjustments and optimizations will be made to individual products.
GAINWARD (via Videocardz.com on Twitter) stated that all RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 models will use a mix of POSCAPs and MLCCs.
Where does Nvidia stand in the debate?
There are various statements regarding the Founder’s model. For example, igorslab.de states that stability issues could not be proven with any Founder’s Edition of the RTX 3080. And “if something went wrong, it was most likely a driver issue.”
Another example shows Paul’s Hardware: In his YouTube video, he demonstrates that the problems also occur with the “Founder Edition” from Nvidia as soon as the graphics card is overclocked beyond 2GHz.
Are you also affected by the crashes or have you so far been spared from the problems?
By the way, you can find out where the differences between RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 lie here:
In Call of Duty: Warzone top streamer Tfue encountered a cheater. The cheater brutally eliminated him and a friend and almost killed the rest of the lobby. However, in the end, it probably didn’t pay off for the hacker.
What happened? The Twitch superstar and former Fortnite ace Turner “Tfue” Tenny was playing Call of Duty: Warzone with streamer Syhmfuhny on September 26, 2020. Early in the game, they encountered a few opponents, but they were not easy prey.
Instead, they were literally lasered by Tfue and Syhmfuhny. The enemies’ precision with the M4A1 was out of this world, and Tfue dryly commented, “He’s cheating 100%, Bro!”

A multitude of kills against opponents who hardly put up a fight. Nearly the entire lobby was killed off one by one.
There was probably an aimbot at work. While the two streamers watched the awful cheating, they mocked and cursed at the cheaters. “What a rat,” Syhmfuhny said among other comments about the spectacle.
This is how it all ended: In the end, however, the cheaters could not win the round despite all their cheating. Because in a surprising close-quarters battle, the cheater was taken down and had to concede defeat.

This made Tfue exclaim joyfully: “Oh, now you’re in trouble, you damned idiot!” By that time, plenty of viewers from Tfue and Syhmfuhny had seen the cheaters’ escapades. Furthermore, the two streamers had already reported the cheaters long ago. Given the overwhelming evidence against them, the two cheaters could soon be facing a hefty ban.
This is how you get a “legal aimbot”: If you don’t want to cheat but still want laser-like precision, you should check out this crazy loadout by pro NICKMERCS. In this article, we explain how he can make a kind of “legal aimbot” out of the M13 rifle. Have fun recreating the loadout!

FIFA Points have been a topic of discussion among players for years. Pro Tim Latka now plans to play FIFA 21 without spending real money. What is behind this?
This is Tim Latka: “Tim Latka” Schwartmann is a German FIFA pro and is currently under contract with FC Schalke 04. In the new season, he intends to manage without purchasing FIFA Points, as he stated in a video announcement:

What are FIFA Points? FIFA Points are an in-game currency in Ultimate Team, which can be used to purchase packs, for instance. Unlike FUT coins, which can be earned through gameplay, FIFA Points can only be obtained by spending real money.
Therefore, it can take quite a few packs before assembling a strong team. Last year, for example, a pro mentioned how much money he invests in the game to offset disadvantages.
Development “hasn’t really pleased me”
This is why Tim Latka decided against FIFA Points: In his video, the pro emphasizes that he has participated in many professional tournaments over the past years. It has essentially been a prerequisite to invest many FIFA Points – after all, one must keep up with the teams of other pros.
“Unfortunately, we are not just talking about 100 euros,” explains Schwartmann in his statement. Rather, one is talking about 2,000, 3,000, or even 4,000 euros – depending on the club, team, and organization. In recent years, according to Schwartmann, “this sum has also gone into my FIFA account. That is a development that hasn’t really pleased me.”
FIFA Points can only be obtained by spending real money.
Although it has been worthwhile for him, and clubs cover part of the FUT money as “work material,” he states: “That has always been a thorn in my side for me. An eSport should not be defined by who spends the most money.”
Now Schwartmann has decided to enter the new game with 0 euros even before the FIFA 21 release and “accept this disadvantage” – even though he knows that other eSports players have an advantage with icons. He gives two reasons for this:
“Point A is that I simply feel that eSports is not developing well in that direction, which bothers me a bit,” says the pro, who focuses on the second point: “That the game is increasingly oriented toward requiring more FIFA Points to be purchased.”
By this, he does not necessarily mean the constant promos that have regularly appeared in FIFA – after all, they are also good content for active players, as Schwartmann states. However, he emphasizes: “Overall, one has increasingly felt that it revolves around Points.”
Tim Latka emphasizes responsibility
What happens next? Large opening videos with purchased FUT packs, as often seen on YouTube, should not be expected from Tim Latka in the future. He now plans a “Road to Glory,” meaning a FUT season completely without spending real money. He is not the first: Streamer “Badeschlappen” followed a similar approach.
“This is the content I want to bring in the future. Not the content that suggests ‘I play a bit of casino, but say it’s FIFA and pull packs for several hundred or 1,000 euros.'”
He emphasizes that as a streamer one also has a certain responsibility: “I would probably be even more successful in terms of clicks if I did that. However, I do not want to suggest that what we do is right.”
His club, Schalke 04, has supported him in his decision – which Latka considers not to be a given. After all, one wants to compete as high as possible purely in terms of performance. The contractually guaranteed money he has available for Ultimate Team, he intends to donate meanwhile.

The space that Destiny 2 will take up on your hard drive with Beyond Light will be significantly smaller than the current installation. But you will need to completely re-download and install the game for that.
What’s new? There will soon be some significant changes in the code of Destiny 2, which will ultimately have positive effects for you. With Beyond Light, there will be some technical changes. The result will include a significantly smaller installation size. For you, this means: more space on your hard drive. But how much does Destiny 2 shrink with the new expansion?
Up to 40% smaller installation size with Beyond Light
This is what Bungie says: The technical innovations are now available for Destiny 2, after the Bungie team decided to not aim for “Destiny 3”, but to invest everything in Destiny 2 (via Bungie.net).
Developers explain that the installation size of Destiny 2 will decrease by 30% to 40% due to the update. This reduction is achieved through various points:
How big is Destiny 2 with Beyond Light? Ultimately, it depends on which platform you are playing on. The installation size is expected to be between 59 GB and 71 GB. That is already significantly smaller than currently. As of now, on September 28, 2020, Destiny 2 is slightly over 101 GB on the PS4.
New download required: You have to completely re-download Destiny 2 with Beyond Light. Especially for players with download limits or slow village connections, this is bad news since such a download may take a long time.
But with the preload for Beyond Light, Bungie wants to accommodate you.
When does the preload start? According to Bungie, early downloads for Beyond Light will be activated “sometime during the night of November 9 to 10.” That gives you at least 10 hours for the download before the new expansion starts – and also with the new weather:
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne (MHW) receives its final update. We at MeinMMO show you the new trailer and what it contains. Because the finale will be monstrous, and not necessarily because of the size.
The new trailer is only 1 minute long, but packed with stylish content
Fatalis makes his grand appearance
First of all, it will certainly be monstrous in terms of new monsters. The fan-favorite Fatalis makes his debut in Monster Hunter World. He is already known from previous installments and extremely hostile towards all living beings.
Details about the gameplay of the fight itself are not yet widely known, as patience is still required for a few more days. However, the new map, which resembles Dark Souls, offers ballistae and cannons for a siege. The skills of the armors remain a secret; for now, only the appearance can persuade.
The armors for Fatalis (left) and Velkhana (right)
Similar applies for the battle-hardened Velkhana, who also joins the ranks of the Iceborne monsters with the update. However, we can assume that the battle will be icy again. With even more stressful breath and spikes that are out to get you.
Finally, it gets spooky
But in the new update, more monstrous things await us besides the monsters. MHW finally gets a Halloween event with eerie costumes. This is the Seliana Spooky Festival and offers a lot for scare fans.
With the new event, you can roam as a demon and your Palico as Frankenstein’s monster
What do we know about the event? The Spooky Festival begins on October 16 at 2 AM our time and runs until November 5.
If the developers remain true to their line, you will be able to obtain the armor again through tickets. These spooky tickets are for the normal version of the armor.
As a decorative armor, you will probably be able to obtain the whole thing again through VIP tickets. You get these by completing event missions or by helping through SOS signals. Wearing the normal armor increases your chances of getting VIP tickets.
What else is included? The trailer shows two more decorative armors. On the one hand, we have an incredibly fluffy Kadachi scarf. If you prefer to roam around somewhat bare and fit, you shouldn’t miss the Buff Body.
Additionally, you can expect a collaboration. This time with Universal Studios Japan, bringing you cool armors and weapons in the style of the already known Azure Star equipment.
The new decorative armors (left) and the results of the collaboration (right)
Thus, on October 1, the era of Monster Hunter World comes to an end. According to the developers, the game will continue to be supplied with events, but without new content.
At least for you Switch owners, there is a little consolation. Because in March 2021, the new game Monster Hunter Rise will be released.

Since it became known that Microsoft acquired Bethesda, players on platforms like PlayStation or Switch are worried that there won’t be any new Bethesda games for their platforms soon. Official statements from Microsoft and Bethesda are vague, but according to an expert, it is very clear that Microsoft will offer various Bethesda titles exclusively for the Xbox Series X and S.
Who said what? Tom Warren is a Senior Editor at the tech website The Verge. He previously ran his own news site about Microsoft and has frequently gained attention for leaks and analyses on Microsoft, Xbox, and other gaming topics. He is considered well-connected in the industry.
Via Twitter, he recently commented on the ongoing topic “Microsoft buys Bethesda“. Many players are still wondering whether Microsoft will reserve future Bethesda titles exclusively for the new Xbox Series X, S, and Windows, leaving PS5 players out in the cold.

[There are] many debates about whether Microsoft will offer Bethesda games exclusively in the future. Of course, they will. Not every single game, but exclusive content is exactly what companies like Disney, Netflix, and others rely on to attract subscribers. Xbox Game Pass will be the same.
Tom Warren via Twitter
Will Bethesda games really be exclusive to Xbox?
What does that mean? Tom Warren indicates that Microsoft will definitely offer certain titles exclusively for the Xbox Game Pass. Not every game, but certain top titles will likely land exclusively on Game Pass.
For the subscription service, it is already known that new Bethesda titles will be available immediately on the Pass when they are released. Those who think of “Netflix for gamers” are probably correct, and according to Warren, streaming services like Netflix and others work exactly this way. Namely, by attracting and binding customers with highly sought-after titles.
In a reddit thread about the tweet, many users share this opinion:
TriedToBlockMeReBorn: “I assume that most future games from Bethesda will be exclusively available for Xbox and PC.”
Gallias: “Well, it’s obvious that you don’t spend $7.5 billion and release your games on other platforms.”
Cheezewiz239: “You don’t spend $7 billion and not get exclusive rights. Why can’t people understand that? If they only got time-limited exclusive rights, they wouldn’t buy the parent company, and time-limited exclusive rights are achievable with a few million and not a whole 7 billion.”
Froztbyte: “Considering that every Bethesda release will now take place on day one of Xbox Game Pass. That’s pretty strong!”
The overall sentiment is that Bethesda will bring its major titles exclusively to Microsoft systems, as anything else would make no sense. However, there is also excitement about the immediate availability of games on Game Pass, which makes it even more attractive.
However, few users are still hopeful that Microsoft will not make everything exclusive. Because if Microsoft – so the argument – also released games for the PS5, they could cash in twice. Once through Game Pass customers and then again from sales on the PS5.
Microsoft can still make money from sales when they release PS5 games. However, if they have a Game Pass, it’s one more reason to buy an Xbox. I don’t understand how they could lose out on that. But if they make it completely exclusive to Xbox, then there will be no sales on PS5 at all.
This is the official statement: Officially, there is still no clear statement from Microsoft or Bethesda regarding the exclusivity issue. The last statement from Xbox chief Phil Spencer is that they will definitely offer the games via Game Pass on PC and Xbox.
Will the Skyrim successor even come to PlayStation?
Whether games will also be released on other platforms, such as PS5, will be decided on a “case by case” basis. Therefore, Tom Warren’s statement could indeed make sense. It is possible that major Bethesda titles like the upcoming Elder Scrolls VI or Starfield will only be released as exclusive titles for Windows and Xbox Series S/X for the time being. This would be at least the method that Netflix would have chosen with a comparable series.
This would be a counterexample: However, Microsoft has so far placed little emphasis on exclusives. The new Minecraft Dungeon is also being released for PlayStation. As the owner of developer Mojang, Microsoft could have released the game only for Windows and Xbox here. Perhaps Microsoft expects other benefits from the Bethesda acquisition and in the end does not want to rely on exclusives.
However, it is unlikely that existing Bethesda titles will disappear from the PlayStation offer. Especially service games like ESO or Fallout 76 will certainly remain playable on PlayStation 5. Fans are already actively speculating which studios Sony could buy in response to match Microsoft.

Even with the 2nd wave of pre-orders, the PlayStation 5 was quickly sold out. The chances for a 3rd wave of pre-orders are currently low, but not completely hopeless. An old tweet from Sony gives some still hope.
So far, the PS5 pre-orders have gone like this: After Sony announced the price and release date of the PS5, the next-gen console could basically be pre-ordered for the first time shortly thereafter. But it started too early and ended in chaos. In short: the interest was huge, the stocks apparently (too) low. The PS5 was quickly sold out, many interested parties went away empty-handed.
Currently, Sony is causing a lot of trouble for its fans.
PS5 sold out – will there be a 3rd wave or is it over for pre-orders?
This is the current situation regarding pre-order possibilities for the PS: Currently, the PS5 is completely sold out after the 2nd wave. And in the near future, this is unlikely to change. For example, Amazon and MediaMarkt have made it clear that they will not be taking any more pre-orders for the PlayStation 5 for the foreseeable future.
Moreover, there have been recurring rumors that both the PS5 and the Xbox Series X could face supply issues due to the global impacts of Corona – and that could last until spring 2021. Also, rumors suggest that new pre-orders may only be possible around Christmas 2020 and that retailers might not offer PS5 in local markets due to Corona restrictions. But these are just rumors; officially, Sony has kept silent on this so far.
This still gives hope: For some who still hope they might be able to get a PS5 at release, an older tweet from Sony, where the company apologized for the situation and the course of the first wave of pre-orders, might still give some hope.

It says there, among other things: “And more PS5 consoles will be available towards the end of the year.” With this, Sony refers to the possibility of pre-orders, specifically after the 2nd wave.
When exactly this will be the case and how large the possible contingent will be is still unknown. And that is why some are still not giving up hope.
“Towards the end of the year” could mean the immediate Christmas season, but the release time frame with November 12th or 19th is already at the end of the year. So it is quite possible that Sony will announce more consoles for pre-order before the PS5 release.
We will keep a close eye on the matter for you and let you know as soon as there is a new development. Perhaps Sony can still make some interested parties happy directly at the launch of the next-gen PlayStation.
The German streamer Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris was banned from Twitch last Friday. A clip circulated online in which he chased women on the streets of Malta while making grunting noises. Now, the ban is being discussed on English-speaking reddit. It casts a negative light on the German Twitch scene.
Once, MontanaBlack can be seen taking photos of a woman from the hotel balcony, who is apparently posing for erotic photos. He loudly comments, “Come down here – Ficki-Ficki”
Additionally, there is a compilation of scenes where he walks down the street, checks out women, and comments on their appearance with sounds and noises.
This is how it is discussed on English-speaking reddit: The ban has made it to English-speaking reddit “livestreamfails.” They don’t know much about German Twitch:
The video of MontanaBlack is now being heavily criticized. People wonder how someone like him can be the biggest German streamer. Such behavior is also seen in the USA, but from streamers outside the mainstream like IcePoseidon, who has long been banned from Twitch.
Knossi and Sido received much praise for the Angelcamp. MontanaBlack also stopped by.
In general, the behavior of MontanaBlack in the clips is considered embarrassing. There are comments like:
“He is 32 years old by the way – CRINGE”
“He sounds like Mr. Bean”
“Every country has its own Logan Paul”
“And kids look up to him – Yikes”
Users talk about how the two biggest German streamers, MontanaBlack and Knossi, both became so successful with casino streams.
A user, apparently from the USA, asks if MontanaBlack is a “Guido”. This is the stereotype name for an Italian-American who acts overly macho, adorns himself with gold, wears tank tops, and is into fitness, women, and cars.
Someone replies: They are called “Prolls” in Germany (via reddit).
He is now embarrassed by the matter.
Maybe Germany is just like that?
A third user believes MontanaBlack is not an outlier or anything strange, but a logical result of the situation in Germany:
“MontanaBlack represents a large demographic group of German youth. Just look around. Of course, idiots can identify with a scruffy guy like him.”
Jens “Knossi” Knossalla is often mentioned in this context.
MontanaBlack as a role model for German youth
This is the discussion in Germany: On reddit they are also discussing the ban in the German section. They believe that the biggest German streamers like MontanaBlack and Knossi are so popular because they clearly appeal to youth.
The role model function of MontanaBlack for youth is a recurring topic when Germans comment on him:
While some, especially on Twitter, emphasize how important MontanaBlack’s role model function is for children and adolescents and that he does not fulfill this role at all.
One user clearly states on reddit: “Twitch is not for educating people. If you can’t do it yourself, you should just leave it” (via reddit)

MontanaBlack has an average of 35,000 viewers: Some demand he should be a role model for them.
It is then said in the German-speaking reddit: Older German viewers watch English-speaking streamers. You only have to look at the channels of Forsen, Sodapoppin or xQc: You will find many German Twitch viewers there.
But there are also some good German channels. Examples include Hand of Blood, Kaya Yanar or Gronkh.
During the streams, he still had a bright mood.
The ban of MontanaBlack initiates an interesting discussion. Is he an outlier or is MontanaBlack really a representative of German youth and what we want to see? Some Germans seem to be downright ashamed of his behavior, while others analyze and explain it.
In July 2020, German Twitch made similarly big headlines, but they were much more positive:
In Call of Duty: Warzone, you need the best weapons and laser-accurate aiming to succeed. Sometimes, though, only good timing in the bathroom is enough. One player took out 6 people in less than 10 seconds.
What happened? For many people, the day starts with a trip to the bathroom. The success of this endeavor sometimes determines one’s mood for the day. This also applies to matches in Call of Duty: Warzone, as demonstrated by player and Redditor “SoloFortuna”.
Shortly after the start of a BR-3 round, he ran into a bathroom at “Krovnic Farmland”. The spartan-equipped restroom did not impress SoloFortuna at all, and he left the room without relieving himself.
However, he did release some of his built-up pressure. When he opened the door, he immediately spotted an opponent, whom he attacked without hesitation with the grip of his pistol. 10 seconds later, there were 6 kills on his account.
How did that look? We are embedding the Reddit clip of the action here for you:

After he took down the first guy, suddenly 5 more people ran into the house. They all rushed into the corner where SoloFortuna had just knocked out his first victim, sweating profusely.
But instead of getting taken down by the invading task force, SoloFortuna kept attacking with his pistol and could withstand all dangers. He actually took down everything that tried to overwhelm him, and when two more enemies came around the corner, he took them out as well.
So, pure luck? In such a situation, you also need a lot of luck. But SoloFortuna also shows courage. He could have made several mistakes and then not even had the chance to create such a massacre:
He could have calmly finished his business
One or two might have fled after the first kill
In such a situation, you can also panic
But the player chose exactly the right way that often leads to success in Warzone: Strong pushing… uh… pressuring enemies. SoloFortuna commented on this himself, saying: “To be fair – my name is Italian and ‘SoloFortuna’ means ‘OnlyLuck'”.
Some players jump into a heli at the start of the match – others into the bathroom.
What do other players say about it? In the reddit thread on the topic, there are some enthusiastic comments. Almost 250 references either talk about his great combat skills or point out that it is simply not okay to disturb a man in his business:

What other nonsense do players get up to in Warzone? In Warzone, you can do a lot of nonsense, and sometimes the game goes a little crazy:
If you play Battle Royale after Battle Royale for hours with full concentration, you can go a little crazy. Such actions lighten the mood and help to stay fit and in a good mood. With the right mindset and the best weapons of Warzone, your chances of a good placement are usually not bad.

CCP Games has announced an intervention in the economy of the space MMOs EVE Online, stirring up a hornet’s nest.
What is this announcement about? In the future, the distribution of resources in the zones will be handled differently. The reason for this is that players should make more decisions about where they want to mine resources in the future. It will become riskier to obtain certain resources. The goal is to create a healthier economy.
However, interventions in the economy of EVE Online are always very problematic, as the community does not look favorably upon such changes. And trouble is already brewing.
EVE Online is facing a major change.
An intervention in the game
What exactly is changing? You will now find different resources in the individual security zones HiSec, LowSec, and NullSec. The wormholes, on the other hand, will no longer provide a means to mine resources.
Security Zone
Exclusive Minerals
Removed Minerals
HiSec
Tritanium
Isogen, Nocxium, Zydrine, Megacyte, Morphite
LowSec
Isogen, Nocxium
Tritanium, Zydrine, Megacyte, Morphite
NullSec
Zydrine, Megacyte, Morphite
Tritanium, Nocxium (some availability through Sov anomalies remains)
Wormholes
–
Tritanium, Nocxium, Morphite
The amount of minerals you receive from asteroids will also change.
What is the problem? EVE players Afasso explains it this way: Many players have been hoarding minerals for quite some time. Especially the resources that are rarely used will take a long time to adjust in price. High-end resources and Isogen are abundant. It was mainly the low-end minerals that became the bottleneck in production.
With the redistribution of resources in the security zones, NullSec and LowSec become extremely unattractive. Because that is where the resources currently in abundance will be located. Most will stay in the HighSec area, which is indeed very boring for mining resources. There is simply no excitement of being attacked. And why would anyone want to mine resources in dangerous areas when they are available in abundance?
This could impact the production of capital ships and the economy of the game. Because the production of these ships consumes a lot of high-end resources. Such ships are likely to become even more expensive.
While this may prevent inflationary production of capital ships, those who already own some will essentially become even more powerful.
According to Afasso, CCP is shooting the economy of EVE Online in the knee with this change.
Mining resources will change slightly in EVE Online.
What do the players think? The EVE community cannot believe that this change was approved so easily by CCP Games. Because the consequences could be significant.
Therefore, there is a suspicion that this change is just part of what CCP Games has planned.
EVE player Cuzmo suggests on reddit: “Either they didn’t do proper research before coming up with this idea, or there’s something quite large that hasn’t been announced yet. Something that makes these changes not as bad as expected.”
Now it’s time to wait and see what happens. The changes are planned for mid-October. Let’s see how they really impact EVE Online.
Destiny 2 is currently more generous than ever. But how do the player numbers react to the loot overdose and why are many Guardians likely only returning to Beyond Light?
This is why Destiny is in a giving mood: The highlight of the Destiny year was supposed to be celebrated on September 22: the release of the new expansion Beyond Light – but it has been postponed to November 10.
Bungie is aware of this and is trying to keep their service game appealing through the extended Season 11. Therefore, there has been an abundance of loot and special bonuses recently – but is that enough for the players?
In short: Those who played in the last two weeks could gather great loot faster than ever before. The significantly more rewarding Firetrial was well received and is said to be more profitable than the notorious Loot Cave.
It’s been 6 years, but never forgotten: the Loot Cave
But a look at the numbers reveals that this attracts fewer Guardians out from behind the stove than some would have expected.
How many players are lured by the bonuses?
Here are the player statistics: Since Destiny 2 moved to Steam in November 2019, we can accurately say how large the population of the MMO shooter is on this platform. And the numbers say that player counts are currently declining:
In July 2020, approximately 68,400 Guardians were playing simultaneously, with a peak of 122,200.
August 2020 averaged about 64,200 players and peaked at 122,500.
In September 2020, the average so far has been 54,600 Guardians, and even at peak times only “only” 97,200.
In June, Destiny 2 still had 77,500 concurrent players and peak values of 213,600.
We cannot provide such precise numbers for player counts on PS4 and Xbox One, and can only estimate that the population behaves similarly.
What the numbers tell us: Those who now proclaim the downfall of Destiny 2 can hold their breath. The player counts of 50,000 to 65,000 correspond to the annual average. These values are quite constant, and only at the beginning of a new season are there spikes upwards.
Destiny 2 held its first live event – Within hours, over 210,000 Guardians logged in just on Steam
Season 11 started and was set to prepare for the DLC
Bungie released the first real information about Beyond Light
That player counts are now falling is therefore not an exception. However, the numbers also indicate that the current generosity does not create hype.
Every Tuesday during the weekly reset, there is a little boost – Source: Steam
I will sign up for active duty again with the new DLC
What does it look like until Beyond Light? Many players who are still playing Destiny 2 are among the Guardians who have almost everything. They find the bonuses nice but are probably not truly dependent on them. Whether the decline in player counts would be dramatic without the rewards can only be speculated.
Although Destiny 2 is – it must be said – in a drought period, the numbers are nonetheless solid and stable. So either the overall player experience or the bonuses seem to lure players to their screens. However, many Destiny players are likely waiting for the arrival of the autumn expansion to save the universe again.
This is my view: I, Destiny expert Philipp Hansen from MeinMMO, have spent over 3,000 hours in the Destiny universe. My collection and inventory are bursting at the seams, so the bonuses don’t really entice me. Currently, I log in at the reset, raid a bit with colleagues, or complete 1-2 rounds in PvP for relaxation. But night-long searches will only be back on the agenda with Beyond Light.
While Bungie is ramping up the information wave about Beyond Light, since the changes won’t take effect for over a month and a half, the knowledge of new weapons, overhauled engines, or new Guardian classes likely won’t be such a strong pulling factor.
However, we might still expect an increase before Beyond Light. Recently, Destiny 2 has become fully accessible in Microsoft’s Game Pass. We will see how this impacts player counts in the coming weeks.
With the launch of both next-gen consoles PS5 and Xbox Series X right around the corner along with Beyond Light, Destiny 2 will also receive a free upgrade, and console players will finally enjoy buttery-smooth FPS and fast load times.
On September 28, the co-op RPG Genshin Impact launched for PC, PS4, and mobile devices. The first players seem quite excited.
What is Genshin Impact? The anime role-playing game places you in a colorful world where you can embark on adventures either solo or with up to three friends starting from level 16. You complete quests, explore dungeons, and fight many enemies, including powerful boss foes.
In Genshin Impact, you play predefined characters, each with their own abilities. You mainly acquire new characters through a so-called gacha system, pulling them from loot boxes.

The launch trailer of Genshin Impact prepares you for the co-op RPG.
The co-op RPG is well received
How is the game received? Genshin Impact just launched today, September 28. Accordingly, opinions are just starting to gather. However, there are already interesting discussions on social media platforms reflecting players’ first impressions.
Overall, the community seems quite enthusiastic about the co-op RPG Genshin Impact. Especially the anime graphics are impressive. The battles are also well received. The story is mentioned positively as well. Some players can hardly believe that it is a free-to-play game.
Players find the camera control and handling less favorable. The community is already discussing how the controls should be adjusted to optimize the gaming experience.
Especially the graphics of the co-op RPG Genshin Impact are praised.
We summarize some voices for you: To give you an impression of what players are saying about Genshin Impact, here’s an excerpt from discussions on reddit, Twitter, and Facebook.
Avery says on Twitter: “Damn, I can’t believe Genshin Impact is free…”
Marlon Rivera Villaseñor writes on Facebook: “I already played it. It’s so cute!”
Thedarkone336 explains: “I have to say this game is pretty good for a free-to-play game. The story is interesting. The graphics are absolutely beautiful if you’re a fan of anime games and the combat is fun. The only problem I’ve encountered so far is the drop in performance at certain points on the PS4. It’s not really bad, but noticeable.”
Petroph is excited: “The fact that I can play for hours on the PC, then pause and seamlessly continue on mobile is pretty awesome. I know that’s not new, especially for those with a Nintendo Switch, but as a PC player, it’s quite surprising to see everything just continues and you can play on another platform. I have to say, I’m quite impressed with what Mihoyo has developed, and I’m having a great time with Genshin Impact.”
v1_Nebby finds the graphics awesome: “The game is absolutely beautiful!”
JediGunlancer wonders: “How can a gacha game be better produced than 90% of the console anime games out there?”
SmilingMuffin however is irritated by the camera: “The camera control is terrible on PC. Looking up and down takes an extremely long time!”
Zack_mugendai finds the controls suboptimal: “It’s unbelievable to see a game that in 2020 offers no options to adjust controls.”
What do players say about the gacha system? Since Genshin Impact just launched a few hours ago, there are no real opinions on the system yet. We will have to wait a bit longer to see how the loot boxes actually affect the game.
Have you had a chance to check out the new co-op RPG Genshin Impact? What is your opinion on the game?
While we can already expect the Community Day with Charmander for October, there is no event known for November yet. If we believe the leak, we should soon be voting again.
Leak says: We can choose the Community Day ourselves
This is what the leak suggests: The data miners have accurately predicted the following so far:
A vote between Weedle, Charmander, Grimer, and Porygon (Porygon and Charmander won the vote back then)
According to the data miners, a third vote is still ahead. It should revolve around the following Pokémon:
Bulbasaur
Timepole
Magikarp
Staravia
According to the leak, these monsters might be up for voting.
Could the leak be true? Magikarp probably won’t be up for voting anymore. After all, the Pokémon had already had a Community Day in August, which took place without a vote beforehand.
The other 3 Pokémon would fit well into the concept. With Bulbasaur, there is again a starter involved, Timepole is a rather rare Pokémon that can already be shiny and Staravia would be a brand new shiny.
However, it’s important to keep in mind that the last votes have always been used for 2 Community Days. The 2 Pokémon with the most votes received a Community Day. While there would still be room for such a Community Day in November, generally a special Community Day takes place in December, highlighting all Pokémon from the year.
The vote, if it were to happen, would probably only refer to the Community Day in November.
Things to consider: Of course, this is just a leak – nothing is officially confirmed. However, the previous votes indicate that there might be some truth to it.
Aside from Magikarp, it’s worth remembering the 3 Pokémon. We may have to vote for one of the 3 monsters soon.
Here we go, the first Team of the Week (TOTW 1) for FIFA 21 is here. We will tell you which players could be in the first Team of the Week.
What is the Team of the Week? EA Sports selects 23 players each week who have shown outstanding performances in real football. These players are rewarded with improved Inform cards and can be found in FUT packs for one week.
What are TOTW Predictions? In the Predictions, the FIFA community tries to estimate which players could make it into EA’s Team of the Week.
This is based on the actual performances of football players from the weekend. The better the player’s performance, the more likely they are to get a spot in the Team of the Week.
Prediction for Team of the Week 1 in Ultimate Team
These predictions come from fifauteam (via fifauteam):
TOTW 1 Predictions
Goalkeepers:
GK: Mike Maignan (OSC Lille)
GK: Illan Meslier (Leeds United)
Defenders:
CB: Ruben Dias (Benfica)
CB: Sebastian Coates (Sporting)
RB: Leo Dubois (Lyon)
RB: James Tavernier (Glasgow Rangers)
CB: Luca Caridola (Benevento Calcio)
Midfielders:
CAM: Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
CAM: Alejandro Gomez (Atalanta)
LW: Andrej Kramaric (TSG Hoffenheim)
CAM: Jonathan Viera (Beijing Sinobo Guoan FC)
RW: Hirving Lozano (Napoli)
RM: Angel Correa (Atlético Madrid)
CM: Mikel Moreno (Real Sociedad)
LW: Ansu Fati (FC Barcelona)
RM: Jarrod Bowen (West Ham)
CM: Bradley Johnson (Blackburn Rovers)
Forwards:
ST: Jamie Vardy (Leicester City)
ST: Wissam Ben Yedder (AS Monaco)
ST: Mauro Icardi (PSG)
ST: Moussa Marega (FC Porto)
ST: Romain Alessandrini (Qingdao Huanghai)
ST: Niclas Füllkrug (Werder Bremen)
Possible Bundesliga Players in TOTW 1
These Bundesliga players could be included:
Niclas Füllkrug led Werder Bremen to victory with 3 goals against Schalke 04 and thus qualifies for a spot in the first TOTW of FIFA 21. If he doesn’t appear in the Team of the Week, it would be very unusual.
This is what Füllkrug’s first Inform card could look like
Andrej Kramaric scored 2 goals against Bayern Munich and thus played a significant role in Hoffenheim’s victory. An TOTW card should therefore be likely.
When does the first TOTW come out? EA has confirmed that the first TOTW will arrive on Wednesday, September 30. The players of TOTW 1 should then be available in the Web App from 7 PM. The Inform cards will remain in packs for one week, until October 7.
Why is the TOTW coming out so early? This year, the first TOTW is released before the release of FIFA 21, which means that buyers of the Standard Edition (release October 9) will miss out on TOTW 1. However, if you have early access to the game, through EA Play or the Champions or Ultimate Edition, then you have the chance to pull players from the first Team of the Week in packs.

For years, the MMORPG The Secret World Legends was quiet, but suddenly the developers announce one of the biggest updates ever. What’s inside?
What kind of update is this? Those hoping for a new story like a Survival Scenario may be disappointed. Because the update focuses on a rework of the balancing in the MMORPG The Secret World Legends. Especially the raids and dungeons are affected. The loot key system is also being revised, and there are adjustments to crafting and classes/roles.

The MMORPG The Secret World Legends has received a new update.
Many changes to the MMORPG
What exactly is changing? You can expect a whole range of changes, as the developers themselves explain, it is one of the biggest updates for the MMORPG ever.
All characters receive 9 Polymorphic Glyph Exchanger to adapt your glyphs to your role. This makes glyphs interesting for tanks as well. Glyphs can be used in items and improve them.
You no longer need keys to find loot in dungeons, scenarios, and lairs. At the end, a chest with loot appears.
In dungeons, raids, and scenarios, the elite mechanics now start at elite level 8. Others come with level 14. There are additional achievements starting at level 17.
Solo and duo Seek as well as Preserve scenarios now go up to elite level 17, and the Manhattan Exclusion Zone now has a pure elite 17 version with its own mechanics and special loot.
There are new crafting items, and recovering glyphs and seals now costs 4,000 MoF for a red version.
The balancing of items has been revised. There were also changes to blood magic.
Healing and tanking have been improved, and there are adjustments to some weapons, healing potions, and ultimates as well as the passives for solo survival games.
Why is this update special? For about two years, there has been silence around the MMORPG The Secret World Legends. There were basically no major updates anymore. The community thought the game was dead and operator Funcom would simply keep the servers open.
Now receiving such a comprehensive update is very surprising.
When is the update coming? It will be deployed on September 29.
The update for The Secret World Legends surprised the community.
This is how the update is received: Fans of The Secret World Legends are excited about this surprise. There is even hope that further updates and perhaps even new content will follow.
Dragnerve writes on reddit: “Can we hope for new content?”
itworksintheory says: “The Secret World was my favorite game but I had already given up hope that the developers would continue. And then I see this news.”
scoyne15 explains: “Impressive amount of changes. I just wish there were new content included.”
The community did not expect this update. And who knows, maybe more is indeed coming. The Secret World Legends still has a loyal community that would be happy about new content. So far, however, there have been no statements from the developers regarding that.
Are you also surprised by this sudden update for The Secret World Legends?
Three employees of the New York subway secretly converted an old storage room into a so-called “Man Cave.” There, they drank beer, lazed around, and watched streams of Twitch star Tfue. But this has now cost them dearly.
What happened? Under the Grand Central subway platform in New York, three subway employees built a secret “Man Cave.” This refers to retreat spaces for men where they can still behave like “boys” and where the decoration can be chosen without interference from women.
Typical Man Caves are usually converted garages, parked construction trailers, or basement rooms. In this case, however, the three subway employees, all electricians and carpenters, made such clever use of an old storage room for their purposes that no one noticed.

Curiously, the room was not marked anywhere, and even the safety officer did not have a key to it. The room was essentially invisible and officially did not exist. Therefore, the three “boys” could lounge around, drink beer, and watch top streamer Tfue undisturbed. They had a refrigerator, a microwave, a flat-screen TV with a streaming box, as well as a fold-out sofa to lounge on.
(The featured image of the article comes from theMTA Inspector General’s Office.)
The End of the Man Cave
This is how the Man Cave was found: The secret Man Cave in the subway shaft has been rumored among the staff of the New York subway for at least a year. There were also complaints from employees that other staff members were drinking and partying in the Man Cave during working hours without permission.
However, each of these inquiries into the matter came up empty. But the current investigation was successful, and inspectors discovered the secret room. Evidence included a partially consumed beer can. Additionally, the stream of top streamer Tfue was currently playing on the screen.
What happens now? The three employees responsible for the room have been suspended from duty for the time being. Investigations are still ongoing regarding how long the Man Cave has been used and whether they also used it specifically during working hours.
However, even if the room was only used during their free time, it poses a problem for the three employees:
The equipment in the room was partly requisitioned without permission from the stocks of the New York subway operations
The operation of the room was essentially paid for by customers of the New York subway
The electrical wiring was said to be inadequate. Had a fire broken out, it would have been difficult to find and access the room that was not marked on any map and to which officially no one had a key.
The professional future of the three Man Cave residents looks bleak. Additionally, further investigations into such unauthorized retreat rooms in the subway are currently underway. It remains exciting to see what else will be discovered soon. A completely different form of “Man Cave” exists in the game Animal Crossing. There, players have ordered a real stripper to a virtual island.

Alliance players are simply better in PvP of WoW. This is not due to their skill, but rather an unfair advantage that can make them nearly invincible.
As old as World of Warcraft itself is the question of which of the two factions actually wears the pants and is the stronger one. The Horde or the Alliance? The latest video from Paladin Rextroy has now found a clear answer: It is the Alliance. However, it is not the superior players to blame, but a small toad that leads to absurdly high healing.
What is it about? Rextroy has once again found a new way to troll in PvP. Instead of defeating enemies with one-hits, he relies this time on massive self-healing that heals him for several hundred thousand health points every few seconds. In his latest video, he shows how he can withstand multiple Horde players who simply cannot kill him. On average, he achieves 60,000 healing per second, which is quite impressive for a Retribution Paladin.

Why does this work? The reason for this is the damage scaling that is active in many parts of World of Warcraft. High-level characters deal massive damage to creatures that are far below their level. This is fundamentally active in all open world areas, except for Kul Tiras, Zandalar, and the associated areas of Battle for Azeroth.
This scaling ensures that opponents at level 1 can be hit for several million damage points. With a high leech value, this means that the player’s own character is healed massively.
For instance: With a critical hit of 1,000,000 damage and a leech of 30%, that results in a substantial 300,000 health points as healing.
Rextroy is quite a phenomenon. In other videos he has:
How does this work exactly? The star of this method is the item “Gently Pressed Toad.” Only members of the Alliance can purchase it from the Old Loola in Shadowmoon Valley of Draenor. The item creates a small level-1 toad that can then be attacked.
Using a macro, Rextroy ensures that a toad appears exactly in his position and then is destroyed by him with a powerful critical hit in the next moment. Something that all classes can do, although it is easier with AoE abilities.
Rextroy is dishing out slaps again
The prerequisite for this is, of course, gear with the corresponding amount of leech. Collecting an entire set of this can probably take a long time, but currently it is still possible with the Corruption. The stronger the leech, the higher the healing from the toad.
Because only the Alliance can buy this toad, only the Alliance has access to this massive self-healing in the open world. However, it is probably only a matter of time before Blizzard nerfs the toads.
With Patch 9.0, this will be more difficult because Corruption is removed and therefore possible leech is reduced. But Patch 9.0 seems to be delayed.
Horde players are now welcome to object…

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and CoD Warzone, players can already pre-download the new update 1.27 for the new season – but only on the PS4. Additionally, the exact start date of the newSeason 6 and the size of the patch are now known.
What is the preload about?As was first introduced in Season 5, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the battle royale Warzone now also allow you to download the new update 1.27 (patch notes) early, including Season 6.
This ensures that players can dive straight into the fresh content at the start of the new season instead of having to download the required data for a long time first. Many players have wished for this for a long time.
She wants to participate in Season 6
All about the Season 6 preload
On which platforms is the preload active? Currently, only players on PlayStation 4 can preload the new CoD patch. It is still unclear whether other platforms, such as Xbox One and PC, can also download the new content in advance.
When can you start the preload? The preload on PS4 has been active since yesterday (27.09.). If you have automatic downloads enabled, the corresponding download should also start. To be sure, you can manually check for updates.
If you still don’t see a new update – don’t despair. Even during the currently ending Season 5, the preload on PS4 took place in 2 phases, and one is assigned to one of the two preload waves completely randomly. So if you can’t download the update yet, you will definitely be able to catch up today.
Almost 20 GB usher in Season 6
How big is the download for Season 6 and update 1.27? On PS4, the new update 1.27 is nearly 20.5 GB in size. It is currently unknown how it looks on PC and Xbox.
When exactly does Season 6 start? The ongoing preload has also revealed the exact start time of the new Season 6. Although the patch can already be downloaded now, it can only be installed at 8:00 AM on 29.09. (German time).
The update 1.27 can only be installed on September 29. You should be able to play normally until then
Season 6 will start on September 29 at 8:00 AM in Germany – on all platforms.
