In Pokémon GO, there might be a Community Day with Abra at the end of April. Data miners have found hints about the rescheduling of the canceled event.
This is the status of the Community Day: The Community Day with Abra was announced for March 2020, but due to the coronavirus, the event was canceled. So far, there have been no updates on whether and when the event will take place.
However, there are hints from data miners suggesting that the Community Day is still to be held at the end of April. However, it seems there will be some adjustments.
This is how Pokémon GO might host the Community Day
This is what the leaks show:In the code of Pokémon GO, data miners found an event for April 25. This event is supposed to be ticketed, and one gets a medal for participating.
This event on April 25 is supposed to revolve around Abra. The code indicates that there will be a special research related to the Community Day with Abra, which is scheduled to take place from 11 AM to 5 PM local time.
Additionally, a Community Day box and spawn adjustments related to Abra have also been found. The box is said to include Elite TMs, which can otherwise only be earned in the PvP league.
Shiny Abra might arrive in Pokémon GO by the end of April
Which attack is supposed to be exclusive? The exclusive attack for Alakazam is expected to be the fast move Counter. It is a Fighting-type move and is likely useful in the PvP league. Unfortunately, Counter does not help Alakazam in raids.
What does this mean for the Community Day? It is not entirely clear yet if a ticket has to be purchased to participate in the Community Day. However, it seems that the special research is definitely related to Abra.
Previously, during the Safari Zone in St. Louis, every trainer received a free special research that ultimately yielded a Shiny Teddiursa. Something similar could happen during the Community Day in April. At least you would get a guaranteed Shiny Abra, and the rest can be caught in the wild with some luck. However, this is purely speculation at this point.
How likely is this? So far, this is just a finding from data miners. Niantic does not have to conduct it the same way, but it sounds plausible to enable a Community Day during the coronavirus crisis.
Nevertheless, one must wait until Niantic releases information about it. However, you can mark April 25 for a potential event.
Please note that there is currently a risk of contracting the coronavirus for oneself and others. The Federal Center for Health Education recommends staying home as often as possible, maintaining distance from others, and avoiding crowds. Niantic has implemented various measures to allow you to play Pokémon GO from home.

The Twitch streamer Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm has written in the title of his stream that there would be Twitch Drops for Valorant and thus beta access, so to speak, beta keys. But he had none. When he got caught, he took the matter very offensively. He called the one who exposed him a snitch.
His viewer numbers for Valorant were mostly about as high as when he streams Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. These average between 25,000 to 37,000.
However, there were a few hours where there was a spike in Valorant, during which he reached over 50,000 Twitch viewers.
It’s quite possible that some tuned in to get the coveted beta access.

On Reddit for Valorant, notable threads were created on April 7 and 8 warning clearly: “Don’t waste your time with his stream if you want Twitch Drops.”
The LoL interviewer, Travis Gafford, tweeted on April 8: Dr Disrespect’s stream is not activated for Twitch Drops.
Dr Disrespect reportedly bans others from his Twitch chat who point this out. According to Travis, this is “pretty deceitful.”

This is how the Doctor reacts: He retweeted the statement of the LoL interviewer and called him a “fragile, concerned little snitch.” Then he took the announcement that there would be Drops from the Twitch title.
Why are Twitch Drops so coveted? At the moment, Twitch Drops are the only way to get beta access (practically a beta key) for Valorant, the new tactical shooter from Riot Games.
Therefore, the incentive is high to watch a streamer who distributes these Drops. This has led to a rush on Twitch and to the streamers who have these Drops active and advertise that they have them.
This is what the channel of summit1g is currently called:
A large LoL streamer on Twitch, IWillDominate, said: This “I have Drops” has become a meme. It is almost as if only 10% of the streamers who have Drops in the title are actually qualified for the Twitch Drops for Valorant, the rest are cheating.
This is how you can see if a channel REALLY has Twitch Drops active
How can you ensure that a channel has Twitch Drops active? If you have become skeptical due to the Doctor’s actions about whether a stream really offers Twitch Drops:
What is in the title of the stream is totally irrelevant
what matters is that a tag under the title says “Drops enabled”, as reported by the dailyesports.gg site
Pay attention to the tag “Drops enabled” so you don’t fall for misleading streamers. Summit1g has this tag.
Valorant has especially provided summit1g and TimTheTatman with record numbers.
This is the evolution in the average viewer numbers over the last 7 days (via sullygnome):
Twitch streamer
Viewer number development
summit1g
+429.4%
TimTheTatman
+184.1%
DrDisrespect
-12.5%
Middle: TimTheTatman, right: Summit1g – are colleagues of the Doc, benefiting greatly from Valorant.
Apparently, Dr Disrespect decided that he finds it unfair to be disadvantaged here and simply wrote “Drops” in the title. Maybe he also found it funny.
He may rely on the fact that his fans will consider it “typical Doc” and brush it off – after all, Dr Disrespect is a persona to whom such deeds can easily be attributed.
Also, the remark about Travis Gafford being a “concerned snitch,” a kind of spoiler, seems typical of Doc.
In the end, only people who are not very familiar with Twitch, practically “Twitch noobs,” fall for this.
Dr Disrespect: A mix of film villain and obsessed gamer
Who is Dr Disrespect actually portraying? Dr Disrespect is a persona with a specific look (sunglasses, wig, powerful mustache) and an inflated ego:
The character, according to his own statements, was based on a movie villain, on Fender Tremolo from the “Jean Claude van Damme” movie Cyborg (1989).
Furthermore, some statements of the character remind of Billy Mitchell, an arcade gamer obsessed with the high score in Donkey Kong, who became known through the documentary “The King of Kong”.

In Call of Duty: Warzone the new Quad mode has caused dissatisfaction, but fortunately, you can now start again with the beloved team size. Read why the new mode is causing frustration, which BR modes are now available, and what MeinMMO readers have to say.
This mode is back in Warzone: At the start of Season 3, a new mode was expected to bring fresh air to the Battle Royale. Instead of the previous Trios, Quads, a four-player squad, became the regular team size.
Did you miss Trios? Then you can cheer now: In Warzone, you can again engage in battle as a trio. This change is live right now.
There are now a total of 4 modes active in Warzone:
BR-4ER (Quads)
BR-3ER (Trios)
3-Person Team (Solo)
Cash Grab 4ER
I tested it: The popular Trio mode is back
It is surprising how quickly Infinity Ward reacted and made the popular Trio mode available again. The likely reason is the partly harsh and very loud criticism.
Players were dissatisfied with the new Warzone mode
Here’s why the new Quads were unpopular: On April 8th, Season 3 launched, and immediately the 4-player mode was heavily criticized. While there is the option to bring in random players if you don’t have 4 friends available, the Quad mode quickly became seen as a misfit and was not well received in the community.
The reasons were numerous. Here are a few:
Some players had become accustomed to Trios and had formed a fixed team
As a smaller group, you were significantly outmatched by a coordinated squad of 4 fighters and usually came up short
Many complained that 4 members were too many and that clarity and coordination suffered greatly
Due to the criticism, developer Infinity Ward responded via Twitter and announced the return of Trios. By the way, you don’t have to fear a massive update; it’s just a small playlist fix.

This is what MeinMMO readers say about the situation: Also on MeinMMO, some of you agree with the chorus of criticism regarding the Quads:
The Quad mode annoys me. I always play with a colleague in duo. Against a 3-person squad, you still have a good chance, but 2vs4 becomes much less likely. I honestly don’t really feel like chatting with two strangers; it’s not my thing.
Some readers think that such changes to team sizes are meant to always offer players something new. But some of you also enjoyed the battles in a 4-person team.
Especially the intense action brought joy. As huhu_2345 writes: “I have never had as much fun as yesterday. I usually only play with friends and as a group of four; Holy Shit, those were great rounds. We constantly ran into a group, constantly had battles.”
Fighting four against the rest of the world wasn’t received well by everyone
With the changes from April 10, fans of both modes should now be fully satisfied. What do you think, did Infinity Ward respond well to the criticism? If you want to learn about hidden changes to Warzone and the multiplayer of Call of Duty, we have 7 hidden changes from Season 3 here.

In CoD: Warzone and in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Season 3 has begun. As always, the season start is accompanied by an update, but not all important changes have been properly communicated to the players.
But the watchful eyes of the community help to remedy this. The CoD expert TheXclusiveAce took a closer look at the game after the update and found 7 hidden changes. Among them is, among other things, a huge buff for a rarely used perk, combat against vehicles has become harder, and a helpful “Quality of Life” improvement.
The perk Alarmed is now really strong in Warzone
What has changed: The perk Alarmed is located in extra slot 2 and is described ingame as: “Your field of view pulses when enemies outside your field of vision see you.” In practice, the ability now causes a yellow glow on one side of your screen to indicate the exact direction of the hidden enemy if they are looking at you.
We now clearly know that the opponent is lurking to our right
What did it look like before? Before Season 3 started, the entire edge of your screen lit up, but there was no indication of which direction you were being observed from.
That’s why the change is strong: This is particularly strong in Warzone, as many utilize a calmer playstyle and hide, wait, and observe everything. You will then know exactly which direction danger is lurking and can decide on attack or flight.
Ace says: “This is a massive, massive buff for Alarmed, because it’s a big difference knowing whether someone is aiming at you from somewhere. […] Now the perk gives a huge advantage.” (via YouTube).
If you want to remain secret and keep an eye on everything unnoticed, you can do so with another perk. By using Cold-Blooded from extra slot 1, you do not trigger an Alarmed alert.
Vehicles are harder to combat & more hidden adjustments in CoD: MW
That’s why vehicles are now even stronger: In Warzone, vehicles are considered one of the best weapons and a relatively safe means of transportation. Their only weakness was rocket launchers, as these would take the vehicle and its crew into the air with a clean hit.
The hidden change now causes SUVs and helicopters to be only disabled and unusable on impact, but no longer explode. While you can still relatively effectively deal with vehicles using RPGs, achieving a team wipe after a rocket was a very satisfying feeling.
According to Ace, this hidden change was probably introduced in preparation for Season 3, but only now discovered and properly investigated.
What you need to know about hidden changes:
If the green blinking icons that indicate you have unlocked a new item, a business card, or weapon attachment annoy you, you can breathe a sigh of relief. Because in the main menu, you can now disable all notifications with the push of a button (L3 on PS4) without having to admire the new item first.
A bug on the map “Khandor Hideout” that kept a door locked has been fixed. Now you can reach the center of the map faster or escape from there.
The strong weapons MP4 and MP7 are said to have received a stealth nerf. The expert cannot confirm this. In the multiplayer mode, the two SMGs were not changed; in Warzone, he has not yet been able to conduct more precise investigations.
In Warzone, full metal jacket rounds or special ammunition rounds are now said to penetrate armor plates and immediately cause damage to health. This phenomenon is not yet fully clarified. However, we will keep you updated on MeinMMO.

What do you think of the changes? Can you explain why these partly really drastic adjustments do not appear in the patch notes?

Due to the Corona crisis, there are currently special circumstances in Pokémon GO. However, the various changes are not expected to last much longer.
This is the current situation in Pokémon GO: Since people are advised not to go outside due to the Corona virus, there are various adjustments in Pokémon GO, allowing players to enjoy the game comfortably from home.
How long will the adjustments last? Until now, it was unclear how long these changes would remain in effect. However, Niantic now provides an answer: You can benefit from the bonuses until May 1st.
Corona changes will not last more than a month
These changes are affected: Niantic stated on Twitter that the changes to the PvP League are included. This means battling without using coins or kilometers.

However, looking at the news within the app, one can see that other bonuses are also affected. These include:
Incense attracts more Pokémon and lasts for one hour
You can open 30 gifts instead of 20
You can carry 20 gifts in your bag
Especially the incense will be significantly reduced with the end of the adjustments
What does this mean for players? If these changes disappear, playing from home will become significantly more difficult, and players will need to go outside more frequently to catch Pokémon.
Currently, you can still effectively play from home with these tips:
Niantic still reserves the right: The developers have announced on Twitter that they will reassess the situation shortly before May 1st and decide then whether the measures will indeed end on May 1st.
So it is quite possible that the adjustments will remain in place for a while longer. After all, Niantic must also consider the situation worldwide. Especially in the USA, it does not currently seem that the situation will improve noticeably by May 1st.
At the moment, Niantic is still doing a lot to allow trainers to play from home. Recently, the Battle Day with Marill was announced, which can be enjoyed from home.

Destiny 2 has introduced a new difficulty level for Nightfall: The Ordeal – Grandmaster. This is supposed to be the ultimate challenge for this PvE endgame activity. We explain what makes Grandmaster Nightfalls special.
Finally new info: Some time ago, Bungie announced that a harder difficulty for Nightfall was on the way. However, there were no details until now. The studio has finally revealed in the current “This Week at Bungie” blog what Grandmaster, as it is officially called, will entail.
What’s in the new Grandmaster Nightfall
What exactly is Grandmaster? It is a new difficulty level for Nightfall: The Ordeal (Nightfall: The Ordeal) – a special Nightfall format that was introduced with the Shadowkeep expansion and has existed alongside the regular Nightfall since then.
In The Ordeal, the strikes are really tough
After the difficulties
Master (recommended Power Level 750, with matchmaking)
Hero (recommended Power Level 920, with matchmaking)
Legend (recommended Power Level 950)
and Grandmaster (recommended Power Level 980)
Grandmaster will soon become the new most challenging level in The Ordeal.
Bungie says this new difficulty will test your fireteam’s coordination, communication, builds, and skills like no other activity in Destiny 2. In short: this will be the new ultimate challenge in Nightfalls.
You should now be wary of enemies
Here are the requirements for Grandmaster: To start a Nightfall at Grandmaster difficulty, you need at least Power Level 1,025. This is 15 levels above the current power cap, but 25 levels below the activity level. Because Grandmaster is set at Power Level 1,050.
Bungie hasn’t explicitly commented on matchmaking, but it’s safe to assume that there will be no player search for Grandmaster and you’ll need a pre-made fireteam.
Additionally, note: Grandmaster will feature a slightly modified competitive mode that Bungie introduced with the “Crown of Sorrow” raid to ensure more fairness in the World-First race.
In the case of the new difficulty, it means that you will not have any additional advantage if you exceed Power Level 1,025. Bungie does not want players to feel forced to put a lot of effort into leveling up the activity.
When does it start? The Grandmaster difficulty is set to launch on April 21, still within the ongoing Season 10.
What else makes Grandmaster special: Bungie has also discussed some key points that define Grandmaster. The studio has set the following goals:
Grandmaster will build on the existing Master level but will be significantly more challenging.
After reaching a certain level (likely Power Level 1,025), the challenge will be to perfect builds and loadouts, communication within the team, and execution.
Grandmaster is expected to push build crafting to its limits and be really impressive.
Success will primarily be measured by whether you can complete the activity rather than by points, a timer, or other criteria within the Nightfall, such as “Defeat all champions”.
The primary rewards will be distributed after the first weekly completion.
In addition to some familiar modifiers, some new modifiers will also be introduced – for example, Extinguished and Limited Revives.
With Extinguished active, you will be thrown into orbit if your fireteam is completely wiped out.Limited Revives means that you will start The Ordeal with only a small stock of team revives. However, you can earn additional revives by defeating champions.
Additionally, note: This is not everything that Grandmaster Nightfalls have to offer. Bungie doesn’t want to reveal everything yet, as some new aspects should be discovered by you yourself.
What about rewards? In Grandmaster, you have a higher chance of receiving exotic armor pieces or Masterwork materials.
More rewards make the Guardians’ thumbs go up
But the real highlight is a new seal including the title – Conqueror. You will receive this if you have completed each of the Nightfall The Ordeals at Grandmaster at least once during the season.
Bungie wants this to be the hardest title to achieve. Whether there will be any actual changes in the title ranking remains to be seen.
What do you think? Is the new difficulty level something for you and your team? Or does Grandmaster leave you completely cold?

The new addon from The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) brings locations and monsters from Skyrim back to screens. A video now compares the two games.
What does the video show? The YouTube channel outsidexbox has published a lot of gameplay material in a video. They showcase iconic locations from Skyrim, which will soon be visible in ESO with the new expansion Greymoor.
On top of that, the video includes a comparison of how the areas and monsters looked back then and how they will appear in ESO:

These are the highlights of the video: That the new addon is something for Skyrim fans was also shown by the gameplay trailer released by Zenimax a few days ago. Outsidexbox also uses some footage from this compilation.
In their video, you now have a direct comparison of then and now. In-game, there are 1000 years between the images, which makes it even more exciting. Especially, a lot of focus is placed on the locations:
The capital Solitude in Skyrim
The Blackreach with new areas like an underground vampire castle
Dragonbridge
The starting area Deepwood Vale
Wreck of the Ice Runner
Shadowgreen Cavern
Icebreath Depths
But it’s not just the locations shown in the video; you will also encounter some familiar monsters here. This includes oversized insects or the nasty Spriggans.
The community is having flashbacks too
This is how the community reacts: The video is also appearing in the ESO subreddit. It is being discussed heatedly, and most users are also having flashbacks to Skyrim while watching.
Opinions are divided. Some players would have preferred different areas, as a lot should have happened in 1000 years.
If you are now also intrigued and really excited about the Skyrim locations, you can start preparing yourself. There is already the opportunity to play the 1st quest for the Skyrim expansion. This will shorten your waiting time until the addon finally releases.
What areas from Skyrim are you looking forward to in ESO? Let us know in the comments!

How to check if you are included: If you are invited, you will not receive a key, but an activation for your account. Usually, an email follows, though it may arrive late.
You can check if you are included directly in the Battle.net client. There under the selection “Version” above the “Play” button of WoW, you should find the entry “Alpha: Shadowlands”, as shown in the screenshot by WoW expert MMO-Sankar:
If nothing has appeared there yet, keep an eye on the downloader throughout the evening or check again tomorrow morning. The waves often take a while and it may take some time for all invitations to be sent out.
Sign up for the Alpha of Shadowlands
How to sign up: If you do not have an invitation yet and want to sign up, it’s very easy with a few clicks on the official Shadowlands page. We have gathered all further information on registration and details on Alpha and Beta here for you:

Next Sunday, a one-day special event will start in Pokémon GO. There you can secure one of the best Pokémon for PvP.
What kind of event is this? On Sunday, April 12, the GO Battle Day will take place in Pokémon GO for the first time. The focus of this day is the Water/Fairy Pokémon Marill. You can catch it via the Battle League. The event will run simultaneously with the Easter event.
On Sunday, you can participate in 20 battle sets instead of the usual 5 – that’s a total of 100 battles. If you win matches between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM local time, your chances of encountering a Marill will increase. It will appear as a base reward after the first and third win, and with a Premium Pass after each victory. Additionally, there will be double Stardust for every Marill caught. The rewards for rank-ups, such as Wrestler Pikachu, will remain unchanged during this time.
Marill Battle Day Celebrates New Leaderboard
Why should I catch Marill? You can evolve Marill into Azumarill. That is one of the best Pokémon in the Super League. Its type combination makes it a dangerous opponent, and it can withstand a lot in battle. A strong Azumarill performs really well in the Super League – and the more Marill you catch, the better your chances of having good stats.
Azumarill is one of the best PvP monsters in the Super League
Why is this event taking place? The event, which can be perfectly played from home, celebrates the introduction of the new battle leaderboard.
This will be introduced on Friday, April 10. It will display the 500 best trainers, including their trainer name, team, and rank. Additionally, it will show the rating and total battles fought.
Trainers from rank 7 can be included on the list. However, trainers against whom disciplinary actions are pending or who use inappropriate nicknames will be excluded. The list will always evaluate the performances from the previous day.
The leaderboard could give some players an incentive to reattempt in the PvP league. However, the atmosphere in the battle league has recently been tainted by numerous bugs and issues.
Keep in mind that there is currently a risk of contracting the coronavirus. The Federal Center for Health Education recommends staying at home as much as possible, keeping a distance from others, and avoiding crowds. Niantic has implemented various measures so that you can play Pokémon GO from home.

If you want to unlock the Shadow and Ghost variants of the skins for Skye in Fortnite: Battle Royale, you need to find her hat Ollie as the last step. We will show you where it is.
Where can I find Ollie? Skye’s hat Ollie is located in two different places, depending on whether you are looking for the Shadow or Ghost variant:
Shadow-Ollie is in Weeping Woods
Ghost-Ollie is in Frenzy Farm
You should find both hats at the locations described below, and you just need to pick them up. However, it may happen that they flee from you, and you will have to catch them first. Be careful of campers during this!
Shadow-Ollie is located in Weeping Woods, specifically in the grid square D5, relatively centrally and on the border to grid square D6. At that spot, you will find a car on the road in front of a house. Right next to this car lies Ollie.
Location of Ghost-Ollie
Ghost Ollie is located in Frenzy Farm at grid square F3, a bit left under the middle of the square. He lies under a large tree by a fence next to one of the fields there.
If you want to see the locations in moving images, we have embedded a video by the YouTuber iOllek, in which he shows exactly where you can find the respective hats:

Something will happen on our streaming channel tonight. Natascha and Irina will be playing Final Fantasy VII Remake together. Come by!
What’s happening? The remake of Final Fantasy VII is one of the major gaming events of 2020, and soon all fans will be able to play it. The game is based on the celebrated RPG classic from Square Soft, which was originally released for the PS1 and PC.
The story revolves around a former member of the elite unit SOLDIER named Cloud Strife. Along with his friends, he fights against the greedy mega-corporation Shinra, which drains the planet’s life energy with its reactors.
Tonight, Natascha Becker from MAX Monsters and Explosions will be playing the remake on the Twitch channel. She will be supported by yours truly, Irina Moritz from MeinMMO.
So you can expect a hefty dose of cool gameplay, the awesome Natascha, and my nerd stories about Final Fantasy. I have also written about Final Fantasy VII Remake:

Amazon has announced today, on April 9, that the release of the MMO New World will be postponed. The new date is now set for August.
What has been announced? In a video message, Game Director Scot Lane addressed the community of the MMO. He announced that the release of New World will be postponed.
The new date is now August 25, nearly 3 months later. One reason for this is the current work from home situation due to the coronavirus. This has led to some complicated and technical issues, according to Lane.
What is the current status of New World? As Scot Lane reports, New World is currently making good progress, but the game is very ambitious, and that is why the release is currently being delayed.
To create the best possible experience for players, the release is being postponed.
Some players have expected the delay: Many players and some readers at MeinMMO have expected the delay of New World. A beta was officially announced for April, but so far there have been no information on when it would actually start.
Some have already concluded from the lack of information and the current situation with the virus that the release could be postponed. After all, it has already affected the Greymoor expansion of ESO and The Last of Us Part II.
When does the beta for New World start now? According to Amazon, the Closed Beta is now scheduled to take place in July. The currently ongoing Alpha for New World is set to continue.

In Borderlands 3, a new update comes this Thursday evening. This improves the gunner Moze even further – and brings new events.
When is the new update coming? The new update goes live as usual on Thursday evening in the form of a new hotfix. The update should be active by 9:00 PM. Just wait until the “Hotfixes Applied” sign appears in your main menu.
Strong chests & powerful Moze in the update
Update brings new event: With the new update, the overarching loot event continues. The Slot Machine Mania and Trials Take-All events will end this evening, but two new ones will come into play.
Loot Monster Mayhem. This brings more loot enemies, such as Loot-Tinks, into play.
Both events will again end in a week, on April 16th. Then there will likely be new events that will bring you more loot.
Moze players are excited about the improvements
Moze will be more powerful: After the developers of the gunner Moze already provided some buffs last week, they are stepping it up this week. Once again, the developers are improving skills that make Moze more dangerous and resilient at the same time. This affects:
Explosive punctuation: The cooldown will be increased by 8%
Hammerdown Protocol: Damage will be increased to 600% and improves the reload time
Click, Click…: The damage bonuses will be increased
Specialist Bear: The damage is increased from +25% to +60%
Additionally, the weapons of the Iron Bear will be equipped with more damage. Overall, Moze will become significantly stronger – which is well received in the community.
On Reddit, Moze fans are excited about the improvements.
“These are not the buffs I originally wanted. But damn, these are really good buffs for Moze,” says user Bearded Wonder (via Reddit).
“I can’t wait to try Moze and Iron Bear with the new damage,” says user Flavio-GM (via Reddit).
“These are the Moze buffs I’ve been waiting for. Iron Bear could really become useful on Mayhem 4 now, and with the Click Click skill, Moze can deal a lot more damage,” says user cole5754 (via Reddit).
Moze will overall be more powerful than before. This will also make powerful builds at max level even stronger. This will also be necessary – because in mid-April, the newly rolled out “Mayhem 2.0” mode is supposed to make the game even harder.

Bethesda has released a new trailer for the Wastelanders update for Fallout 76. In just under 2 minutes, there are plenty of details that really make you excited about the new content.
This is shown in the trailer: The new trailer provides an overview of the massive Wastelanders update, starting with the first quest and the first NPCs, all the way to a mysterious new vault.
Included are new weapons, armor, and plenty of story with the NPCs you will meet. We will highlight 5 of the showcased details for you.

At the beginning, the trailer shows the start of Appalachia: The very first quest in the “Waywards” diner, which is now located right at the first camp of the Overseer. There, you can take a real quest from human NPCs for the first time and talk to them extensively.
Even the first step into the new adventure begins with a decision, as a stranger holds a weapon to the tough Duchess’s face as you stumble in. Just remember that your choices have consequences.
However, if the Raider leader claims the entire land for herself, it could naturally lead to a dispute. Especially since you, the residents of Vault 76, have made the land habitable again.
Hidden in the middle of the trailer is a huge hint about the new task you will pursue in Wastelanders. After the Brandbeasts have largely been defeated, it’s now against the Scorched plague.
Because the newly arrived humans should not fall victim to the disease right away. For that, you previously worked on a vaccine – which now somehow needs to be distributed, it sounds like. How will you manage that?
The trailer is scattered with some details and hints about new features. Distributed scenes show, for example:
a new weapon: bow and arrow
unknown NPCs who seem to want to hire you for secret tasks
a combat arena where you face off against beasts with other players
What lies behind the contents will likely need to be discovered by you yourself. However, it is clear that a ton of new features and contents are hidden there that you can discover in Wastelanders.
The Mysterious Vault 79
As a conclusion to the trailer, the door to an as-yet-unknown Vault 79 is shown, which the Raider leader apparently wants to blow open together with you. What exactly is behind the doors, we cannot say yet.
What lies within Vault 79?
Perhaps it will be a raid like Vaults 96 and 94 before it, or it will continue the story. As it looks in the trailer, you will need to overcome it with a group of players or NPC companions who will support you. If you want to learn more, you can find all the information on the massive Wastelanders update and the new features here.

A team won a round in Call of Duty: Warzone by cunningly luring their last opponents into a trap. Ultimately, they died in the gas.
This was the situation: A whole team was facing only two opponents at the end of a round. They were hiding from their adversaries in a bunker, waiting for kills.
However, in the end, they were simply denied the exit from the bunker, leading them to die there from the increasingly approaching gas. Their opponents watched the entire scene from a distance, celebrating their round victory.
Bunker turns into a deadly trap
Here is the clip: On Reddit, the video by RoobinKrumpa has already received over 5000 upvotes and numerous comments:

This is how the players proceeded: The opposing players camped in a bunker waiting for easy kills, but the opposing team simply parked a vehicle in front of the only exit of the bunker.
The campers were trapped and could not get out. Their opponents watched the spectacle from outside, and after a short time, the campers were taken out by the gas.
What is being said about the clip? The video is receiving a lot of support, and many viewers speculate about what the trapped opponents must have thought. There are comments like “The damn door is glitching! I hate this game, I swear!”
Are there more funny clips like this? Players keep sharing their funny experiences from Warzone on Reddit. For example, a player was taken out by a flying truck that had a major bug.
Other players show that the dangerous gas in Warzone also has decisive advantages when used correctly. This way, one can see much better through the gas from the outside. Thus, one can even win entire rounds in the end.

In the new expansion of The Elder Scrolls Online, we return to Skyrim. There, there are both the mountainous region and the underground Black Reach. Therefore, Greymoor is expected to be the expansion with the largest playable area.
How big will Greymoor be? In a blog post that was provided to us in advance, the developers revealed new details about the upcoming expansion Greymoor. It strongly emphasizes nostalgia and brings back many familiar areas from TES5 Skyrim.
To the mountainous region, areas such as:
the Jarldoms of Haafingar
Hjaalmarch
Karthald
the port city of Solitude
Dragon Bridge
and the smaller Morthal.
By itself, this would probably not make the expansion so huge to set a record. After all, the previous chapter Elsweyr already offered a large base area, and the area of western Skyrim is limited.
However, together with the Black Reach, which plays entirely underground, Greymoor is set to provide the largest playable area that an expansion in ESO has ever had.
Solitude, one of the cities from Skyrim and soon also Greymoor.
Greymoor brings familiar enemies and new challenges
What awaits in the areas? A large expansion also requires a variety of enemies and dangers. These were also introduced in the blog post.
From our interview, we already know about the return of the Falmer and Chaurus, two well-known enemy types from Skyrim. They lurk primarily in the dark cave region, which is said to be very winding but looks beautiful with the fluorescent giant mushrooms and glowing will-o’-the-wisps.
Here, many treasures but also terrible dangers are waiting for you. One of these dangers is the Vampire Lord waiting for you at Fort Greymoor.
Various creatures from the beautiful Black Reach.
In the overworld, you will encounter twigblights, giants, trolls, bears, and other monsters. A major role is played by the large city of Solitude, which functions as the main hub.
In addition to the normal creatures, there will be a total of 6 bosses in the new areas that you can fight in the open world. Among them are a sea giant and a vampire knight.
What else does Greymoor offer? The new areas also feature 2 public dungeons where you will find larger and more challenging groups of enemies.
Additionally, Harrowstorms will appear in the open world. These are world events that you must complete together with other players. According to the story, they have a connection to the latest DLC Harrowstorm.
A coven of witches from Harrowstorm, who are not innocent in the Harrowstorms.
This is the rough concept of home raids: Data miners have found a remote raid pass. You can use it to participate in raids from a distance.
The number of participants from a distance is limited, and the Pokémon of these trainers are supposed to deal less damage.
These problems could arise with home raids
The reduced damage could be confusing: Especially at the beginning, one does not know exactly how the reduced damage looks. While you can currently defeat Demeteros with two players, it might not work from a distance. Here one has to try a lot, and it is quite possible that you may not be able to gather enough players to do raids from a distance.
Demeteros might no longer be defeated in duo from a distance
The limited number of remote raiders: So far, it is still unknown how many trainers can participate from a distance. If the limit is low, then it may be that you still need trainers who are at the gym.
Combining the reduced damage and the maximum number of remote raiders could lead to the situation where there are not enough trainers to deal sufficient damage.
The remote raid pass is only available in the shop: According to leaks, you should be able to buy the special raid pass in the shop. The price is still unknown, but many trainers expect that it will be at least as expensive as the normal raid pass. Others even suspect it could be more expensive, as it is, after all, a luxury not to have to go outside.
It also seems that you cannot get a remote raid pass for free every day. You would then have to spend money for every raid from a distance.
The coordination could be problematic: Those who are not in a community in their city might have trouble finding suitable teammates. After all, you can no longer see who is standing with you in front of the gym.
So, if you don’t make any arrangements, you have to go into the raids hoping that a teammate will join.
Legendary raids might become difficult from a distance without coordination
What do trainers say about it? The anticipation for the home raids was huge, but the findings of the data miners have disillusioned many trainers. Here we summarize some opinions from reddit users:
whtge8: “Why is there a damage nerf when we have to pay for remote raids? If it were free, I would understand, but this pass will likely cost more than the premium raid passes. I just don’t get it.”
XUndeadA55asinX: “And there goes all my hype for the home raids … Why don’t they just let us use the raid passes we already have?”
Hollewijn: “I believe people will be reluctant to use a paid pass if they do not have the assurance that the raid will take place and be successful. If the remote raid is less effective, this actually leads to more uncertainty.”
kamieniarz: “Remote raid passes will be sold in the shop – let’s hope they only cost one coin, but I just don’t believe that …”
Are there also positive voices about the concept? The fundamental idea of allowing raids from home during the Corona crisis is well-received, but the currently known concept is not very well received. Only a few voices are optimistic:
It could be the non-pandemic version of remote raids. I think if they are implemented, certain restrictions could be lifted, such as the number of players who can do this remotely, or even a further reduction in damage mitigation. This is comparable to the introduction of GBL, where the requirement of walking distance was lifted and the number of possible rounds was increased. The problem is that this is a new system, but we do not know whether it is a permanent addition or just something for the current situation we are all in.
Nonetheless, it must be noted that the voices are only based on leaks from data miners. Niantic itself remains silent on this topic for now. So one should wait for official information before drawing a final judgment on raids from a distance. Until then, one can take advantage of the Easter event bonuses.
