FIFA 20: The 4 Best Formations – Recommended by a Pro

Max Handwerk 12. January 2020 Reading time 5 minutes

Which formation and tactic in FIFA 20 is the best? We asked professional player Marcel Deutscher how to best set up your team in FIFA 20.

That’s why the right formation is so important: Depending on how you position your team, it decides how offensively or defensively you can act. If you choose a layout that positions many players in the attacking third, you will be offensively strong, but may have defensive gaps.

On the other hand, having too many players in your own half means you will have less access to the opponent’s goal. There is not necessarily one best formation. It is all about finding the right balance and selecting the appropriate formation for your play style.

FIFA 20: Best Formations & Tactics Guide

These formations are recommended by Marcel “DonChap” Deutscher: Marcel Deutscher from L4K eSports is one of the best FIFA players in Germany. Since this year, he has been playing for the eSports team of Hannover 96 in the Virtual Bundesliga.

In the interview, DonChap gave us some tips on which formations are currently particularly successful in FIFA 20. We present his tips on the right setup and tactics here on MeinMMO.

4-2-3-1 – The classic among formations

This is what makes this formation special: The 4-2-3-1, also known as the “Christmas tree,” is gradually becoming a classic among Ultimate Team formations. Already in FIFA 19 it was one of the favorites, just like in FIFA 18.

“The normal 4-2-3-1 always works,” explains Deutscher. The formation is compact and allows for a lot of ball possession.

If needed, it can be adjusted: “It always depends on what the score is. If you’re leading 1:0 in a close game in the 80th minute, I would even choose the wide 4-2-3-1 to bring in a bit more security.” Then you can stand a bit deeper and gain even more ball possession.

This formation is suitable for: Players who like to dominate the game. It does not represent a classic counter-tactic but relies on skillful players in the center.

4-1-2-1-2 – The diamond as an offensive formation

This is what makes this formation special: The diamond is based on a classic four-man defense and a defensive midfielder. Offensively, you can rely on a playmaker, two strikers, and two wingers. The wingers can quickly come back to help defensively if needed.

“The diamond is very good this year,” explains the professional. The wide version paid off especially in the beta. The many possibilities in attack open up many ways to exert pressure on the opponent’s goal. And that can be crucial: “The offense is very difficult this year. Many players are currently using bunker tactics. Creating chances is not easy.”

This formation is suitable for: Players who need many options in attack. You can move forward very quickly via the flanks, and the playmaker facilitates play through the center. With two strikers, there are also good passing options at the front. However, defensively, there may be congestion in counter situations.

4-4-2 – The balanced formation

This is what makes the formation special: The 4-4-2 formation resembles the diamond, but it is somewhat more balanced in the center. It is more difficult for the opponent to bypass the center. However, in attack, you lose only a little punch: “I really like playing 4-4-2,” says Deutscher: “This year, two strikers are important. You can play quick, short one-twos and have two passing options. But in 4-4-2, you also have two players on the flanks.”

This formation is suitable for: Players who like to play on the flanks and don’t want to expose themselves too much defensively. If you have strong wingers that can feed your strikers, you’re in the right place. And if you need help defensively, you’ll find useful tips here.

3-5-2 – The experimental formation

This is what makes the formation special: The 3-5-2 differs from the other formations in that it has only three true defenders. This changes the roles within the team a bit.

Especially the outside players have to act in a dual role more than ever: “When you are in defense, you can instruct the outside players to reinforce the defense. Then you play a kind of five-man defense with two defensive midfielders in front. This makes you incredibly compact,” explains Deutscher. However, in offensive play, “you need the two outside players to create pressure. The center-backs then position themselves a bit wider.”

If it works, it gives you an advantage: “If you do it right, you have many players both in defense and attack. But you need two players on the outside who have tremendous stamina. After one half, they are exhausted,” explains Deutscher. You have to be careful not to let the outside players lose their stamina too quickly – otherwise, you suddenly have a weak defense. This is especially true once the very popular fitness bug is fixed.

This formation is suitable for: Players who need many options at all times. Especially in attacking play, the 3-5-2 gives you a lot of passing options when you’re in the offensive. However, if the opponent regains the ball, it has to go back quickly, or else you run the risk of being countered heavily.

The right tactics

This tactic is used by DonChap: Apart from the formation, you can also make some adjustments to the team tactics. Deutscher recommends: “I don’t like to sit back. I find I lack access.” You always have to chase and wait for mistakes: “I want to actively regain the ball and switch quickly forward.”

For this, he chooses the following settings: “I usually play defensively on ‘Balanced’, normal. If I’m behind, I switch to ‘Pressing’ or ‘constant pressure’.” In offense, Deutscher switches between “Balanced” and “Fast Build-up”. The latter favors counter-attacks: “With the Fast Build-up, they switch immediately on regaining possession of the ball. With through balls, you can quickly gain space and be rapidly in front of the goal.”

FIFA 20: With this trick, the annoying Squad Battles will be much easier

Julian Schröder 12. January 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

If you want certain rewards in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team, you can’t avoid Squad Battles. However, very few players actually find matches against the CPU exciting – Here’s how to make them more enjoyable.

Currently, FUT players can earn Icon cards again with Icon Swaps 2. But this involves a lot of effort, especially the Squad Battles can be very exhausting and annoying.

Especially when currently 18 Squad Battles must be completed on Legendary or World Class difficulty to get the most out of the Icon Swaps.

What are Squad Battles anyway? Squad Battles are the single-player mode in Ultimate Team. You compete against the computer at various difficulty levels to receive weekly rewards, earn coins, or complete tasks.

That’s why Squad Battles can be annoying: The biggest problem for many players is that the fun of playing against the CPU is somewhat lost. Therefore, the required games tend to feel more like work.

For this reason, many FUT players completely ignore Squad Battles.

How to make Squad Battles more bearable

This is how the trick works: To make the Squad Battle games as pleasant as possible, there is a trick that allows you to ensure that the opponent leaves you alone and stops attacking.

Here’s what you need to do:

Choose the easiest team. Preferably one with an overall rating between 60 and 70
Start the game and quickly score at least one goal, or even 2 to be safe
If you now have the ball, position yourself in the opponent’s half
Press the shoot button and then quickly the pass button to feint a shot – that’s it

The result: If you’ve done everything right, the opponent will no longer attack you while time continues to run normally. After halftime, you can apply the trick again to have peace even in the second 45 minutes.

In this video by YouTuber “Der KC“, the trick is well illustrated.

While the game is running, you now have time to relax and do something else. But still, keep an eye on the screen from time to time, as it can happen that the CPU still regains the ball.

This is, however, quite rare if you’ve done everything right.

What do you think of the trick, do you already use it? Let us know on Facebook.

Vote: Which direction should Destiny 2 take – DLCs or Seasons?

Philipp Hansen 12. January 2020 Reading time 5 minutes

A service game like Destiny 2 aims to keep its players engaged with new content. The loot shooter has experimented with different models. Tell us: How should Destiny 2 handle expansions?

When Destiny launched in Fall 2017, the excitement was initially high. Although veterans of the first game had to leave behind their entire arsenal and re-equip themselves against new threats, the story of the Cabal invasion was well-received.

A little over a month later, many Guardians were faced with the reality that the content of the so-called Vanilla version did not provide lasting motivation. How would Bungie bridge the gap until the major autumn expansions?

Traditionally, in Destiny, when the leaves fall in September, a large content package is due. Guardians can then enjoy a plethora of quests, adjustments, new gear, and cinematic campaigns. This was also true for Destiny 2:

With Forsaken, large parts of the game were overhauled, and two new planets joined as the setting for a cool revenge story.
Shadowkeep invited players to an old acquaintance: the Moon. The eerily beautiful atmosphere of the Earth’s satellite was one of the highlights of this expansion, alongside the new content.

But even outside of the major expansions, Guardians want to be entertained. Bungie has so far tried various models to satisfy the seemingly endless hunger of players. Before we start our survey, let’s take a look at the additional content released so far.

Destiny 2 Forsaken Cayde Guardian — Forsaken is considered a turning point for Destiny 2

Here’s what the DLCs offered: The first year of Destiny 2 relied on a DLC model. It followed a similar approach to its predecessor, which also handled content updates similarly. One DLC cost around €20. Alternatively, both DLCs could be purchased in a bundle for €35.

The first was Curse of Osiris in December 2017. It featured the new planet Mercury and the randomly generated Infinite Forest. The focus of the small campaign was the Warlock Osiris. In addition to new items, players could explore new Strikes and PvP maps.

In May 2018, players answered a call to Mars with Warmind. Alongside the story, the new location engaged Guardians with a Horde mode. Again, there were new gear and fresh Strike and Crucible content. Overall, this DLC was more extensive than the first.

Both DLCs also gave hardcore players access to new sections of the Leviathan Raids. Additionally, there were some events that were available to everyone, even without owning the paid content.

What the Season Pass offered: As the next chapter in the Destiny universe was written with Forsaken, the nature of content offerings changed. Instead of relying on separate DLCs, a so-called Season Pass was intended to keep Guardians engaged.

The individual contents were no longer sold separately. For €30, players could:

forge their own weapons in the Black Armory
join the expansions of Gambit Mode and the Reckoning on the side of the Drifter
experience the extensive contents of “Season of Opulence.” With the Menagerie, one of the most popular Destiny activities came to life.

Also included were two brand new raids. By now, many of the mentioned contents are completely free to play for all interested, thanks to Destiny: New Light.

What the Seasons offer: Currently, we are in the third year of Destiny 2 and in the Season of Dawn. This phase was heralded by Shadowkeep. Once again, developer Bungie is changing the model for additional content.

Destiny is now fully focusing on individual seasons. In principle, seasons have always run in the background of Destiny 2, but in a significantly “content-scarcer” manner. The new episodes can be purchased individually for around €10 and do not require an expansion or any other content.

Such a season lasts about three months and story-wise prepares players for the next chapter. Destiny is supposed to no longer be disjointed and developed separately, but to form a coherent world. Also, for the near future, Destiny intends to stick to the current system.

Each new season offers smaller content spread out over its duration. Included are, alongside larger patches and season passes, themed quests, exotics, story missions, and seasonal activities.

What does the community say about this?

Which expansion model is the best? Individual DLCs, rather strict Year Passes, or preferred seasons with distributed content? Choosing the ideal path for Destiny 2 to supply players with additional content is not easy.

For the different options, there are pros and cons. While a DLC offers a lot of content at the start, it might overwhelm some Guardians. But after a few weeks of intense gaming, the content drought follows all too quickly. Calls for new content echo to the Bungie headquarters in Seattle.

The approach of the seasons promises new incentives every week to spend time in Destiny. With the next reset, there could possibly be a new cool story mission or a creative exotic weapon. However, those who have taken several weeks off may not find enough content in Destiny 2 to keep them engaged.

5 Things That Would Make Destiny 2 Strong in 2020

Here on Mein-MMO.de, you often discuss this topic. In the comments of the articles, statements like this can be found:

What has the season brought me so far: – one of the most beautiful ornament sets as armor – the Sundial weapons are great for farming, new archetypes have been added…why not always like this!
“3” via Mein-MMO.de

Also, “Der_Frek” enjoys the current seasons and writes: “I admit I am a little curious about what is to come. […] I personally like the Season model because the content is a bit more manageable.”

Saint 14 Greeting 2 — For most, a positive surprise: Saint-14

However, the current path to increase fun is not universally well-received. MeinMMO reader “Ron” expresses disappointment: “For me, the season has been over since day one.”

And Der-Frek also adds to his previous statement: “Especially regarding the Crucible, the game just isn’t rewarding right now.” He speaks for many Guardians, as PvP has been struggling for a while. Can the rumor of a return of the Trials change that?

No matter how you look at it, Destiny 2 will never fully satisfy all its players 100%. And the assumption that large expansions like Forsaken and Shadowkeep could appear at shorter intervals remains a utopia.

The dungeons from Shadowkeep and Forsaken are some of the highlights of Destiny

Some demand a ban on streamer with Tourette – Twitch takes a clear stance

Schuhmann 12. January 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Time and again, users of the Twitch platform are calling for a ban on the streamer “Sweet Anita”. The 29-year-old suffers from Tourette’s syndrome. This leads her to say words for which others on Twitch have been banned. But Twitch is now taking a clear stance.

This is the situation: The 29-year-old Twitch streamer Sweet Anita (Overwatch, Apex Legends) suffers from Tourette’s syndrome. She has tics that also manifest in coprolalia, the use of foul language and curse words.

These tics often lead to laughter from Twitch viewers and friends of Sweet Anita.

Here, the Twitch streamer is asked if she has pets, and then says: Yes, she always throws them over her shoulder against the wall for traffic. A reference to the incident that drew attention to the Twitch streamer Alinity Divine in 2019.

Sweet Anita then immediately covers her mouth and has to laugh at what her tics make her say.

But it doesn’t always end as lightly. In a Twitch stream in December 2019, she used the racist “N” word. This sparked a debate: Some users demanded that Twitch should ban the streamer.

It was said that the circumstances didn’t matter, the word must lead to a punishment.

Time and again, there are also accusations that the tics are not real but rather a marketing gimmick. People have difficulty accepting the illness.

Twitch says: Streamers with Tourette are welcome

This is how Twitch sees it: So far, there has been no indication from Twitch that they plan to ban or restrict Sweet Anita in any way.

https://twitter.com/DaleCruse/status/1214983415075786752

On January 8th, a tweet from Dale Cruse came in. He is responsible for inclusion at Amazon, ensuring that no one with disabilities is excluded. He explicitly states: Streamers with Tourette’s syndrome like Sweet Anita or NarinDipity belong to Twitch and are welcomed on the platform.

This is how Sweet Anita reacts: She thanks Twitch for supporting people with Tourette’s syndrome. It is not easy to work, take care of oneself, and stay in touch with people when suffering from coprolalia, but streaming has allowed her to do all these things.

The acceptance and support have allowed her to break barriers. Sweet Anita had said earlier that despite all the problems she faces due to Tourette’s syndrome, she is happy about the many support that leads to Tourette becoming more publicly recognized and raising awareness among people.

Even though Sweet Anita’s tics are often taken humorously and cause laughter within the community, such situations do not always end well for Sweet Anita privately.

This is how Sweet Anita suffered from the incident: She said she cannot believe that people accuse her of faking these tics. She has apparently developed the tic with the “N” word through streaming. Now she is afraid to talk to her father, who is black, for fear of offending him. Due to the uproar, she lost almost 1000 subscribers, who are the Twitch supporters who regularly provide money.

Sweet Anita says she had a tic while shopping, was then thrown out of the store, and now has to always shop in a further store to get things for her disabled mother.

Then came comments that she was faking tics for attention, which was particularly painful.

Dead by Daylight: This might be the coolest rescue mission of all time

Cortyn 12. January 2020 Reading time < 1 minutes

In Dead by Daylight, there are many ways to help your teammates. But the killer was probably never this surprised.

Although teamwork among survivors in Dead by Daylight is not necessarily a must, it drastically increases the chances of a successful escape for most players. To achieve this, it is necessary to protect your teammates from danger and save them from the killer. Usually, this is done by rescuing a survivor from the hook. Alternatively, survivors can also heroically throw themselves into the killer’s strike to absorb a hit.

But that is not as cool as this action:

One and probably the only good thing I did as a survivor from r/deadbydaylight

What happened there? The scene takes place on the map Hawkins Underground Lab. At the generator in the room with the rift, Claudette goes down. Instead of picking her up, the killer decides to chase the other survivor. She jumps to a lower position and escapes through an open window. The killer tries to follow her, but at that moment, Claudette, who is on the ground, falls onto the killer from above. Instead of using the space bar to jump through the window, the killer picks up Claudette, breaking off the chase. But that’s not all – Claudette can immediately free herself, making both survivors safe for the time being.

Pokémon GO: Why you should exchange (almost) every Praktibalk with friends

Noah Struthoff 12. January 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO there is now the new Gen-5 Pokémon Practibalk found in raids and eggs. It’s particularly worth trading these Pokémon. We will tell you why.

What is Practibalk? This Pokémon has come to the game with the new wave of Gen-5 Pokémon. Currently, you cannot catch Practibalk in the wild, but you can only battle it in raids and hatch it from 10 km eggs.

Thanks to a new feature, it’s particularly worth trading Practibalk.

Trading Practibalk – What it brings

Here’s what it means: Practibalk, or its evolutions, are among the few Pokémon that can be evolved for free through a trade.

Evolving Practibalk into Strepoli still costs 50 candies, but when you evolve Strepoli into Meistagrif, it costs no candies. The requirement is that you have traded it beforehand.

Meistagrif is one of the best Pokémon in the game, so you should have several good specimens.

Here’s how you should proceed: If you get a Practibalk with poor IV from the raid, do not throw it away, but trade it for another Practibalk with a friend.

It can become a lucky Pokémon or simply get good IVs.

If it has IVs that you consider to be good (we recommend a value of 96+), then you can invest 50 candies and evolve it into Strepoli. The evolution into Meistagrif should then be free.

If you get a Practibalk with good IV from the raid, you should not trade it. However, the normal evolution into Meistagrif will then cost 250 candies. So it is more worthwhile to evolve a good traded Practibalk, as you save 200 candies this way.

These are the benefits of trading: First, you get at least one candy for each trade. If you trade Pokémon that have been caught further away, you even get 2 or 3 candies.

Moreover, you have a chance for a lucky Pokémon and good IVs with each trade. Your useless Practibalk can become really good.

If you have traded several Practibalk and maybe also have a lucky Pokémon together, you just need to invest 50 candies and you can evolve into a strong Pokémon.

This is also suitable for Practibalk: If you have lucky friends, you should also consider a Practibalk trade. There will definitely be a Practibalk as a lucky Pokémon.

You can find more good candidates for a lucky trade here.

There are also new regional Pokémon. We will show you where to find them:

Destiny 2: Patch on Tuesday fixes issues, weakens overpowered exotic.

Schuhmann 12. January 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2, on Tuesday, January 14th, a new patch will be deployed. The hotfix 2.7.0.2 aims to fix several issues. The update will return the overpowered exotic bow “Wish-Ender” back to a normal weapon.

When is the next patch coming? As Bungie announces, there will be a patch on Tuesday, January 14th, in the evening:

Between 5:30 PM and 6:00 PM, players will not be able to play Destiny 2 for 30 minutes
around 6:00 PM, the new patch will be available for download.

What does the bug fix? Currently, Tess Everis, the vendor of the Eververse, is unnecessarily marked on the map as if she has something important to tell the Guardians. Even though that is not the case.

This is a bug that is supposed to be fixed on Tuesday.

Another issue is an obelisk in the European Dead Zone of Destiny 2. A bug prevents players from interacting with the object. There is a workaround to still access the obelisks, but from Tuesday onwards, it will no longer be necessary.

In addition, Bungie has announced the solution to further problems, but has not provided details.

What about the bow? Since Season 9, the exotic bow “Wish-Ender” has been way too strong. It can currently kill almost anything with one shot, as a perk is dealing too much damage.

On Reddit, the community manager dmg04 announced that this bug will be fixed. It is noted: They understand that some players may take this negatively because they enjoyed the high damage. Therefore, they have passed the feedback to the team and maybe in future updates the bows in Destiny 2 will be stronger overall.

Bow “Leviathan’s Breath” in Destiny 2 currently not obtainable

Known bugs: Bungie has also listed 3 bugs in Destiny 2 that will not be resolved with the patch on Tuesday, but later:

The exotic bow “Leviathan’s Breath” is currently not obtainable. There are issues with it because the strike “The Arms Dealer” was supposed to be completed in Season 8, but that is over now.
There are problems with the Tower obelisk: Players cannot access it, Bungie recommends returning to orbit and trying again if that occurs.
The emote “Twisted Laugh” is causing trouble. It cannot be unequipped once it is equipped.

Bungie is promising another “update” in January that will implement further changes and improvements to Destiny 2. For example, the quest “Green with Envy” will be fixed, where currently progress is not being tracked.

9 things you can do in the MMORPG Black Desert 2020

Alexander Leitsch 12. January 2020 Reading time 5 minutes

The MMORPG Black Desert Online offers you a vast world with many contents and tasks. However, many players still don’t know how to pass the time. We have 9 tasks for you that you can complete in the MMORPG in 2020.

What do we recommend here? Black Desert, as a sandbox MMORPG, offers many freedoms. However, some are overwhelmed by these freedoms and long for a list of tasks.

That’s why we took a look at 9 activities in the game and explain how you can pass the time in Black Desert.

[toc]

Explore the World

What is there to discover in the world? The world of Black Desert does not allow for fast travel. Therefore, traveling to and discovering all locations is a small challenge.

In the process, there are not only landscapes to discover that are beautifully depicted in Black Desert’s graphics, but also many useful contents:

Discovering special locations gives you energy, with which you can then fish or perform other activities.
Hidden chests offer you the chance to get loot.
Conversations with hidden NPCs can fill your knowledge gaps.
You can find and collect ore nodes and other materials.

Leveling Up

What is special about Black Desert? The sandbox MMORPG does not have an official maximum level. Although at level 60 you unlock all active skills for the classes, there is still the opportunity to further improve your attributes.

That’s why many players try to reach as high a level as possible. However, the grind can quickly become very large. To reach level 65 it already takes several thousand hours.

No player has reached level 66 yet, but that’s guaranteed to happen in 2020.

Play New Classes

What new classes are there? In 2019, the new class Shai was introduced, which originally had a strong support focus. However, in terms of playstyle, it still differs from the other classes and is therefore worth a look.

Additionally, on January 22, the new class Guardian will be released. A good time to fire up Black Desert again and rediscover it.

Improve Life Skills and Go Fishing

What does Black Desert offer in terms of Life Skills? Life Skills refer to 11 “professions”, or also work talents, that you can learn and constantly improve. The following options are available:

Gathering
Processing
Fishing
Hunting
Cooking
Alchemy
Taming
Trading
Cultivation
Sailing
Bartering

You can use and improve as many of them as you like at the same time. Especially fishing is very popular as it is also a lucrative means of income. In contrast, there are many daily quests and tasks to complete in hunting.

In September 2019, an update was released that expanded the work talents and introduced the new Manos gear specifically for this purpose. Early 2020 is therefore an excellent time to engage more intensively with the topic.

Build a Boat

Why is it worth building a boat now? In October 2019, a major ocean update was implemented that revised the content on the seas.

New ships were introduced, and there are winds and currents that aim to provide more realism.

If you haven’t built a boat yet, you might consider it as a new task for 2020.

Trading Networks and Workers

How does the trading system work? In Black Desert, you can earn money through various methods. Aside from many life skills through which you can earn money, trading is particularly attractive.

In doing so, you can:

Buy goods in a city
Bring them to the next city with a donkey and later with carts and horses
And sell them there.

The prices depend on supply and demand and the distance between the cities.

Everywhere on the map, there are nodes that can connect to form a huge trading network. This is also connected to the worker system.

Black Desert: Crafting, Posten und Handeln – eine Liebesgeschichte

von Schuhmann

What can workers do? Workers can be hired to gather or process materials for you. However, they need accommodation for this, which you have to rent in the nodes.

After that, they can complete a variety of tasks for you, including building a boat. Entire production chains can be created, from gathering the materials to producing the finished product.

Decorate Your Own Home

What is housing like in Black Desert? Housing is one of the most extensive features of the game. You can have several residences. And of course, you also own the accommodations that you rent for your workers.

Your own houses can be decorated with furniture as you like, including items that you can only buy in the shop for real money.

Additionally, you can visit friends’ and guildmates’ apartments, allowing you to showcase your creations to each other.

World Bosses

Why should you fight world bosses? In Black Desert, there are various world and field bosses that appear at specific times and can only be defeated with a larger group of players. This is the first content that you cannot experience alone.

A victory over these bosses gives you the chance to earn armor pieces or weapons from the respective bosses. In addition, you can get black stones, silver, and hunter tokens as rewards.

However, you must be there early and deal a lot of damage to the boss to be rewarded. Bosses are particularly worthwhile when you have reached level 56+ but are not yet equipped with the corresponding items.

Battles in PvP

What does PvP offer in Black Desert? PvP can already be experienced in the open world of Black Desert, with attacking players who have deactivated the PvP mode being punished with negative karma. Additionally, there are safe zones near large cities.

There is also organized PvP in the form of guild wars for posts and entire territories. These take place weekly and allow you to control the areas.

For these contents, it’s worthwhile to join a guild. It generally makes the most fun to experience Black Desert together with others.

In 2020, many more changes to the sandbox MMORPG are planned. New skills for the original weapons of the classes are expected to make them more attractive. There is also a first roadmap:

Warning, Apex Legends is excluding its hardest fans

Schuhmann 12. January 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

In the shooter Apex Legends (PC, PS4, Xbox One) a new bug has emerged: Some players who have reached the maximum level of 500 cannot log into their account anymore. They receive the error message: “Server shutting down – Internal Server Error”.

This is the situation: In the first months, players could only level up to 100 in Apex Legends. A major update changed that and made it possible to reach level 500.

Players had the opportunity to continue grinding and grab more rewards. Level badges are offered as recognition, so that those who spend so much time in Apex Legends have something to show for it – along with hopefully many kills that can be seen in the Apex Tracker.

Cosmetic rewards are tied to leveling up in Apex Legends; players do not gain gameplay advantages by achieving a higher level in the shooter.

With level 500, some can no longer play Apex Legends

This is the problem now: In the EA forum, a player said on Monday: When reaching level 500, you get the error message “Server Shutting down – Internal Server error” and cannot log into your account, no matter what you do.

https://twitter.com/KirbySlays_/status/1213983403495821312?s=20

In the discussion, other users also report that they are level 500 and have the same problems. They cannot log into the account at the maximum level. They can only play Apex Legends if they use a different account.

A player says he can bypass the bug by constantly logging in, at least then he can play a match, but afterward he faces the problem again.

von Benedict Grothaus

How is the discussion going? The discussion in the forum started on Monday. EA community managers have also responded and tried to narrow down and understand the problem through inquiries.

Apparently, the bug is under investigation, but there have been no updates in recent days.

https://twitter.com/KirbySlays_/status/1213926614507110403?s=20

The situation is escalating. Affected players say: Hey, we are your most valuable players, we have spent the most time in Apex Legends, take care of us and not just new players.

Right now, as a new event is starting on January 14, the excitement for Apex Legends is high among veterans.

Apex Legends Mirage skin — On January 14, a major event is set to start in Apex Legends – hopefully the patch will also bring a solution for the “level 500” problem.

Players are now hoping for the update for the event

This is the status: The last update from the community manager, EA_David, on Friday was: “Hopefully the bug can be fixed on January 14 or sooner, but there is no information on when exactly this fix will come.”

The Next Gen is just around the corner. Have you already decided which console you will get? Let us know.

In 2020, the next generation of consoles is also getting closer to its release. As much fun as many of us had with the PS4 and Xbox One, sooner or later they will have to make way for the new models.

Which of the two consoles will it be for you? Here is an overview to start with.

What do we know about the new consoles? For many fans, the internal values and features of the consoles are crucial for the purchase. As the next generation, the PS5 and Xbox Series X are, of course, significantly more powerful than their predecessors.

Both consoles will get their own custom AMD processors and graphics cards that support ray-tracing technology. They both also aim to offer resolutions of up to 8K. So there’s plenty of power in both.

ps5-devkit-pizza — The fans had fun with the pictures of the PS5 DevKit. It was quickly repurposed as a pizza holder.

You don’t need to worry too much at the beginning about which launch titles the two new platforms will receive. Both the PS5 and the Xbox Series X are backwards compatible. This means you will be able to play your old PS4 and Xbox games on them while you wait for new games.

N’zoth, the Titans and Co. – Test your god knowledge here in WoW

Benedict Grothaus 12. January 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The story of World of Warcraft goes back much further than the game itself. Even before the creation of the life we know today, there was a lot happening on Azeroth. What do you know about Old Gods, Titans, and more?

Azeroth did not always look the way you know it today. Even when the Well of Eternity still existed, Azeroth had already seen many changes. Thousands of years ago, Elementals, Old Gods, and Titans ruled there.

In the upcoming Patch 8.3, you will face the last of the Old Gods, N’Zoth. You will probably learn a lot about the history and what has happened in the past.

Even after Patch 8.3, in the new expansion Shadowlands, you will once again learn something about the past. Because the Shadowlands are among the most important realms of the world, similar to the Emerald Dream or the Twisting Nether.

Before the story is simply told to you, take the chance to test your own knowledge. In our quiz, you can find out how well you know the story of the Old Gods and Titans and the formation of Azeroth.

Big Lore Quiz – How well do you know the story?

This is how the quiz works: We have selected 13 questions for you, all related to the formation of Azeroth. The questions address points in history that led to WoW looking the way we know it today.

Under each question, you will find several answers, but only one of them is correct. Choose the correct answer and find out at the end how well you did. If you want to repeat the quiz, simply refresh the page.

You should be able to answer many questions if you have simply played WoW and are interested in the story. However, some of the questions are quite tricky. Anyone who wants to be a true seeker of knowledge should know these as well.

Pokémon GO: The 4 best Pokémon of the new wave from Gen 5

Noah Struthoff 12. January 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In Pokémon GO there are various new Pokémon from the 5th generation. But which monsters are really good? We show you the 4 best Pokémon of the new wave.

How many new Pokémon are there? 17 new monsters and their evolutions are waiting for you. Among them are Pokémon of various types.

Some Pokémon are really worth it as they are among the best attackers of their type.

These 4 Pokémon of the new wave are particularly worthwhile

Rank 4 – Brockoloss: The Rock-type Pokémon is also a solid attacker in this type. Additionally, it knows the best Rock attacks.

Attack Value: 226
Defense Value: 201
HP Value: 198
Maximum CP: 3228

Its attack value is decent, but not outstanding. That’s why it ranks behind Pokémon like Rameidon, Terrakium, or Despotar among Rock attackers.

So you won’t miss anything if you don’t have it on your team, but it is definitely a solid alternative.

Rank 3 – Aeropteryx: In terms of stats alone, Aeropteryx is a huge highlight. Only the attacks ruin the Pokémon quite a bit.

Attack Value: 292
Defense Value: 139
HP Value: 181
Maximum CP: 3331

It has the second highest attack value of all Rock Pokémon and should therefore be interesting. However, the attacks of Aeropteryx currently make it quite useless. It has 5 attacks from 5 different types.

You should secure a good specimen and hope that a future attack change also benefits Aeropteryx. Because then it will be among the best attackers in the game.

Rank 2 – Maxax: With Maxax, we have the Dragoran or Brutalanda of the 5th generation in the game. Its attack value is excellent, but it battles with tough competition.

Attack Value: 284
Defense Value: 174
HP Value: 183
Maximum CP: 3593

Its attack value is brilliant, but its other stats make it somewhat of a glass cannon. It deals a lot of damage, but can’t take much. Furthermore, Maxax has a lot of competition and can’t surpass Pokémon like Rayquaza or Brutalanda.

Milza, the pre-evolution of Maxax, is a good candidate for a Community Day. There, Maxax could learn Wrath and become significantly better. Now with Dragon Claw, it is also solid and enhances your team.

Rank 1 – Meistagrif: Many players might have been waiting for this Pokémon, as it is the replacement for Machomei. It is better on all levels and strengthens your battle team.

Attack Value: 243
Defense Value: 158
HP Value: 233
Maximum CP: 3337

It deals more damage than Machomei and is also more stable in battle. Only Lucario deals even more damage than a fighting attacker, but is much quicker to be defeated.

Meistagrif is therefore an enormous boost for the team and replaces Machomei in battles against Heiteira and Chaneira.

There are also new regional Pokémon. We will show you where to find them:

Destiny 2: Did you know? These 14 Exotics have hidden abilities

Philipp Hansen 12. January 2020 Reading time 7 minutes

In Destiny 2 have the exotic weapons and armor unique abilities and perks. However, some of these abilities are secret and are not explained in the game. Read here what secret talents are hidden behind your Exotics.

Recently, we reported on a secret ability of the new Exo-pistol The Devil’s Ruin. The community is currently debating whether the well-hidden perk is a bug or an intended feature.

In this article, we discuss 14 Exotics that definitely have secret abilities. These are not mentioned at all when inspecting the weapons and armor, but they are present.

More on the topic

Destiny 2: The Devil’s Ruin has a secret perk that makes it even stronger

von Philipp Hansen

These Exo-weapons have hidden abilities

The 1st Exotic – Relentless: The fusion rifle Relentless boasts numerous special features. Your damage or initially slow fire rate increases significantly.

However, there is no mention of faster reloading in the weapon description. Yet, Relentless has the hidden perk “Feeding Frenzy”. After a kill, you will reload noticeably faster and thus benefit from bonus damage more quickly.

The 2nd Exotic – Perfected Outbreak: The pulse rifle Perfected Outbreak has one of the coolest quests and also a cool and useful perk. When fired continuously, the weapon becomes increasingly precise. If you shoot continuously, the bursts resemble a nearly pinpoint laser beam.

The hidden perk is attributed to “Dynamic Swing Reduction” or a feature from Destiny 1: “Persistence”. As we will see later, other remnants from the first Destiny game have crept into the current installment.

The 3rd Exotic – The Queenbreaker: The linear fusion rifle The Queenbreaker was long considered a nightmare for many Gambit players. Now there is another reason to fear the precise weapon.

The Exotic secretly possesses the trait to penetrate multiple targets. This corresponds to the perk “Anti-Barrier Rounds”.

At this point, there is another reason for joy for linear fusion rifle enthusiasts. The identical effect is also present in the non-exotic representatives of this weapon class.

For example, with the new ritual weapon Komodo-4FR you can let multiple Guardians bite the virtual dust. They just need to line up nicely – or you might just get lucky in PvP and they run right in front of your weapon.

The 4th Exotic – Polaris Lance: If you are precise with the scout rifle Polaris Lance, you can admire a solar explosion. The fireball can not only deal area damage but can also trigger some solar abilities.

The Solar Titan benefits from the enemies damaged by flames and activates his solar abilities conveniently through the Polaris Lance. The solar Hunter also draws his benefit from the “Play with Fire” ability from the opponents ignited by the scout.

The 5th Exotic – MIDA Multi-Tool: The Scout rifle MIDA Multi-Tool is probably one of the most well-known weapons in the Destiny universe. It is not surprising that this Swiss Army knife among Guardian guns has a hidden function.

The scout outlines your enemies in red when you observe them through your scope. This makes focusing easier. This is completely in line with the design of the weapon – support in all areas. Faster running, a permanent radar, reduced flinch and maximum aim assist are simply not enough for the MIDA Multi-Tool.

The 6th Exotic – The Jade Rabbit: Like the MIDA, the Jade Rabbit is an Exo-Scout, but the similarities do not stop there. It has the same aim assist integrated and highlights targeted enemies. However, the weapon description does not mention this.

The effect currently seems to be available only on these two scout rifles. Other Exo-Scouts, such as the Polaris Lance, do not have such visual support in the sights. However, there are other weapons with such sights. Usually, the ability is mentioned in the item overview.

Destiny 2 Jade Rabbit Ornament — Those who like it colorful and crazy should opt for the Jade Rabbit

The 7th Exotic – Eriana’s Vow: As the only hand cannon with a scope, Eriana’s Vow shares a function with the two mentioned Exo-Scouts. Here, too, an opposing Guardian appears outlined in red when you aim at them through your magnifying optics.

This effect only supports you as long as “One-shot Kill” is active. The fact that Eriana’s can shoot through barriers and even immune phases of raid bosses is not secret. This is an intrinsic version of the anti-barrier mod.

The 8th Exotic – Cerberus+1: The auto rifle Cerberus+1 looks as if it was haphazardly assembled from dozens of different firearms. It fits quite well that a hidden ability has snuck into one of the four barrels.

The projectiles of the rifle become more powerful the greater the distance to the target. This is in stark contrast to usual behavior, as weapons typically lose damage as the target moves further away. At a distance of up to 20 meters, the damage continues to increase.

From 20 meters to 50 meters, the damage remains constant, but as the target moves even further away, the damage ultimately decreases as well. However, Cerberus+1 is still not a convincing long-range weapon. The immense spread can be compensated with the exo catalyst, but not at such great distances.

cerberus-destiny-2 — Sometimes you have to improvise – Cerberus+1

The 9th Exotic – Skyburner’s Oath: The unusual scout rifle Skyburner’s Oath wishes to deviate from the weapon conventions. When aiming, you have a slowly firing, precise weapon with explosive rounds. Shooting from the hip, the weapon becomes a lightly seeking fireball shooter.

Both modes share the common characteristic of having apparently infinite range. Skyburner’s Oath has shown no damage drop in tests. However, this useful feature is nowhere to be found in the item description.

The 10th Exotic – Lumina: The pretty hand cannon Lumina can be described as the best support weapon in Destiny 2. The floral firearm heals allied guardians and generously distributes damage buffs. It is designed as a counterpart to the destructive Thorn.

But Lumina also remains true to its support service behind the scenes. As a Dawnblade Warlock with the Dawn of Grace, you benefit doubly from the Noble rounds. Normally, your abilities charge faster when you support allies with your abilities.

Even a helping shot from Lumina activates your ability “Gentle Dawn” and thus speeds up the cooldown of the Warlock. This allows you to constantly support your comrades.

The 11th Exotic – Le Monarque: The combat bow with the majestic name Le Monarque focuses entirely on poison damage and damages enemies over time. When equipped with this weapon, you can also enjoy a passive bonus.

As long as the bow is in your hands, you run faster than usual. This ability can be traced back to the secret and intrinsic perk Lightweight. Many weapons in Destiny 2 have a movement boost, but they usually also specify it in the weapon description.

Exotics that match Lightweight weapons in their fire rate do not automatically benefit from it. The strong revolver Sunshot, for example, should actually have the same bonus due to being part of the 150 family, but in reality, only the bow benefits from the speed boost.

These Exo-armors have hidden abilities

The 12th Exotic – Sun Bracers: The special Warlock gloves Sun Bracers revolve completely around solar grenades. In addition to unlimited energy and increased duration, there is a hidden grenade enhancement.

Through the secret perk “Fastball”, you throw grenades farther. The additional throwing distance is noticeably perceptible. With this Exotic, you can distribute your solar grenade rain across the map.

The 13th Exotic – Transversive Steps: The Warlock boots secretly increase mobility speed while crouching. Improved mobility fits perfectly into the concept of Transversive Steps.

The so-called crouch walk speed noticeably improves. In Destiny 1, the boots had this property officially, so it seems to be a transferred relic from the predecessor.

Additionally, the slide distance is covertly increased. This allows the boots to make you run faster, reload weapons while sprinting, but the improved slide effect is not mentioned. In contrast, for example, the Hunter boots St4mp-F3R – here you will be informed about the same effect.

destiny-2-transversive-schritte — The Transversive Steps support you with every step

The 14th Exotic – Dune Striders: The Titan boots focused on movement improvement, the Dune Striders, also have the hidden effect of allowing you to slide further. The speed boost while crouching is only found with Warlock boots.

In the following video from Fallout Plays, you can watch how the YouTuber experiments with various Exotics. The whole thing is presented like an episode of “Mythbusters”.

The 15th Exotic – One-Eyed Mask: We have a bonus Exotic for you. The Titan helmet One-Eyed Mask terrorized the Crucible for a long time until Bungie pulled the emergency brake and it got nerfed several times.

The One-Eyed Mask not only empowered Titans to have wallhacks, an overshield, and extra damage but also. Recently, it turned out that the Exotic had a hidden effect: The poor Titans simply couldn’t take the helmet off. The secret perk prevented it until the last nerf.

So anyone who always complained about Titans in the Crucible and blamed the players for only succeeding with such means should apologize.

PS: Please read the last entry with a wink.

CoD MW: New update from 11.1. is here, fixes annoying issues – Patch notes

Noah Struthoff 12. January 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

On Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, a new update went live on January 11th. Contrary to the developers’ announcements, it is surprisingly small and only fixes a few annoying bugs.

This was planned: According to Joe Cecot, Co-Design Director at Infinity Ward, the upcoming update was supposed to be significant and address various bugs and issues. It was expected to be released this week, which ends today, Sunday.

Players were eagerly awaiting the update, as several bugs have crept into CoD lately.

Now there is an update in Modern Warfare, but it is surprisingly small. Players will still have to wait for the promised big patch. The “big patch” is in the works, but Infinity Ward has not yet provided a date for it.

https://twitter.com/JoeCecot/status/1216059405885509633

What’s in the new update for Modern Warfare

These bugs are being fixed: Only 4 points are listed in the official patch notes. They include:

A few glitch spots at Karst River Quarry that could be reached with vehicles have been fixed.
The bug that occurred with the challenge “Tag 25 enemies with the drone” and which did not count correctly has been fixed.
Until now, players could spend multiple trial tickets in a trial match and therefore unnecessarily lose. This is no longer possible.
After 9 players are infected in an infected match, the player has no throwing knife available after a tactical entry.

How is the update being received? Many players are surprised and angry that the update is so small. Issues that were raised in the past few days are not listed here and have not been fixed.

Many soldiers are still demanding that the player collisions be fixed. Players can push each other around, causing them to run into claymores or push them out of cover. This is currently seen as one of the major points of criticism in the game.

Other players are calming their upset comrades. They say that surely a larger update must be coming soon. After all, Infinity Ward has released this update as a hotfix. The promised update should be arriving soon.

When can we expect the big update? This is currently hard to say. None of the developers have commented on it so far.

However, since it was announced for this week, one might think that it should come soon and is probably only a few days late.

Finally, the developers revealed what new features they are planning in the coming weeks:

Tired of long loading times for GTA Online? This setting helps

Patrick Freese 12. January 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

Do you know that feeling when you get stuck on the loading screen of GTA 5 Online for minutes and it just won’t continue? This setting helps many players during the loading process.

Here’s the problem: The loading times for the online mode of GTA 5 have already become a meme in the community. The reason is that the loading process sometimes takes 10 to 15 minutes until a player is assigned to an online session. GTA Online loads forever and nothing happens.

In between, there are error messages that no compatible session was found, and now it is either being watched or GTA 5 is being joined.

Sometimes, there is not even an error message. And so you sit in front of the screen for minutes, piece by piece looking at the various motives and texts that Rockstar Games presents to the players while waiting for an online session. For example, they point to this jammer search that helps you with the Casino Heist.

We have measured: If everything goes according to plan, joining the world of GTA Online took us an average of about 3 minutes. Plus/minus 20 seconds. However, from experience, we can say that joining has sometimes taken much longer for us.

The solution: In the community, you often hear the same phrase as a suggested solution. “Just load into story mode first. From there, you enter online mode. It’s much faster.” This is supposed to shorten the loading times of GTA Online on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

This habit dates back to the last console generation. However, players are convinced that it would help even now.

What is meant is a setting in GTA 5.

Open the menu (Start on the controller, ESC on PC) in online mode or story mode
Switch to the “Settings” tab
In the menu on the left side, select the “Save and Start” option
If necessary, switch the option under “Startup Page” to “Off”
Select the setting “Load into Story Mode” under “Startup Behavior”

This setting changes the startup behavior of GTA 5. When you start the game, it doesn’t stay on a startup page where you choose between online and story. Instead, the game loads directly into story mode.

You can, of course, also manually choose story mode on the startup page initially.

So let the game load into story mode, open the menu via ESC or start. Click now on Online and then on Start GTA Online. Then select your desired session mode.

This setting should prevent incredibly long loading screens (as long as everything is okay with the Rockstar Games servers). Some players swear by this method.

I, Patrick, have been using this method for a few weeks now and have had fewer problems with loading screens. The only thing I notice is the extended time during peak hours, such as in the evenings or on weekends.

Try this setting as well and let us know after a few days if it loads you into the world of GTA Online faster. Do you have any other tips to shorten loading times? Then let us know in the comments.

The “Slide Cancel” glitch in CoD MW will be fixed – This makes it so annoying

Irina Moritz 11. January 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

Infinity Ward has announced that they will fix the notorious “Slide Cancel” glitch in CoD Modern Warfare. It is widely used by top players in the competitive scene.

What is the “Slide Cancel” glitch? “Slide Cancel” is a movement exploit. It allows players to interrupt the slide early by carefully pressing buttons.

This gives them the advantage of being able to draw and shoot their weapon faster without having to endure the short downtime at the end of the slide. It seems as though the opposing player is still sliding, but in reality, they are already shooting.

You can see what that looks like in the video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBmrNqiYPbY

What makes the glitch so annoying? Players who are not familiar with the glitch are at a disadvantage and may not even be able to see their opponent while being shot at.

“Secret” glitch gives pros an advantage

How did the glitch become known? The glitch was discovered by professional CoD players. Especially in the competitive realm, Slide Canceling is widely exploited. However, it is said that the exploit was kept relatively “secret” so that those who know about it can maintain an advantage.

Link to the Twitter content

Pro gamers like Matthew “FormaL” Piper, who plays for the Chicago Huntsmen, are quite annoyed by the glitch now.

Slide Cancel was already known in CoD: Black Ops 4 and led to the game’s meta adjusting to it. In CoD Modern Warfare, it joins other glitches and bugs, such as Wall Bangs or jams with some weapons.

Here in the clip, “FormaL” explains the exploit to Twitch streamer DrDisrespect. The clip is now “public”, says the pro. According to “FormaL”, only the Dallas Empire players knew this glitch for a while.

What did Infinity Ward say? In the new community update, which announces among other things a patch for upcoming 3v3 modes, Infinity Ward commented on the Slide Canceling.

The developer promised a fix for the glitch in one of the future updates. However, it did not specify when exactly players can expect it.

It is unclear if the developers will manage to fix the glitch before the start of the Call of Duty League in Minnesota, which begins on January 24.

Troll brings the viewers first to groan, then to laugh in the Twitch clip

Cortyn 11. January 2020 Reading time 2 minutes

The audience held their breath in shock as the speedrun of BioShock crashed with a blue screen. But the player was just trolling them all…

Those who do not want to enjoy games in the conventional way, but rather finish them particularly quickly to compare their records with those of other gamers, belong to the speedrunners.

Many speedrunners participate in Awesome Games Done Quick and raise donations for a good cause, such as cancer relief. However, some players, like BloodThunder, pull a prank on the viewers.

What happened? BloodThunder was right in the middle of his run through BioShock – the speedrun had been going for a good half hour. Just as he was about to use a key, it seems that the game and the whole PC crashed. A typical error message is displayed that occurs when a PC crashes.

Both the audience and the moderators gasped in horror and were left in shock for a moment.

The action was planned: After a few seconds, BloodThunder calmed the tense viewers and commentators and explained that it was all planned. This was then confirmed when the screen first turned black and then played the intro of Skyrim. This is a popular meme in recent years where things usually disappear or crash, only to wake up again in Skyrim. Skyrim will soon play a significant role again, namely in the MMORPG ESO.

Neither the moderators nor the viewers knew anything about it in advance.

Why was this done with BioShock? BioShock is one of the games where setting a new record is difficult. This is due to many random factors, such as the behavior of enemies or simply some issues with the code that can lead to the game crashing. Apparently, BloodThunder wanted to stage exactly such an incident.

Do you also enjoy doing speedruns of games or watching others do it on Twitch or YouTube? Or do you prefer to enjoy your games at a relaxed pace?

FIFA 20: These 5 SBCs provide you with strong packs for little coins

Max Handwerk 11. January 2020 Reading time 5 minutes

Earn coins in FIFA 20 is not that easy. However, some SBCs offer very good rewards, which can secure you strong packs for few coins.

These are SBCs: Squad Building Challenges offer you a way to exchange players for rewards. They are the perfect opportunity to get rid of unused players from your club and grab good rewards.

Players can be like in the case of the POTM SBCs, but also strong packs. Some SBCs are not easy to find at first glance, but they provide you with packs that will be much more expensive in the shop. We show you some that are worth completing.

These SBCs you should complete for good packs

Basics to save on SBCs: How cheap an SBC is for you always depends on which players you still have in your club. Be sure to check if you already have suitable players that you can exchange in the SBC before you buy the missing cards on the transfer market.

Additionally, you should always buy players at the lowest instant buy price or, to save even more, via bidding. This may take a bit longer, but can save you a lot of coins. Never buy players overpriced – otherwise the profit at the end will be significantly lower.

These SBCs you should solve: The following 5 SBCs offer good packs as rewards, which you get for much fewer coins than in the shop. If you already have suitable players, you can further push down the price. Also consider: Players do not necessarily have to stand on their position as long as the overall chemistry is right.

Paris Saint-Germain SBC

This is what the SBC brings you: The Paris Saint-Germain SBC can be found as part of the league SBC for Ligue 1 Conforama. As a reward, it offers you a Mega Pack, which would cost 35,000 coins in the shop. No wonder, as PSG has a lot of top players to offer. However, you don’t need them at all.

This is how you can save: The SBC requires an overall rating of 80 – and only six players must necessarily be from PSG. This allows you to rely on many players from Ligue 1, which makes this SBC very cheap. The solution will cost you about 8,000 to 9,500 coins. Thus, you can secure a Mega Pack for about 25,000 coins less. For example, use these players:

Costil (GK, 80)
Ounas (LM, 75)
Diallo (CB, 79)
Kehrer (CB, 79)
Sabaly (RB, 75)
Bakayoko (CDM, 80)
Sarabia (CAM, 83)
Herrera (CM, 82)
Paredes (CM, 80)
Rongier (CM, 80)
Choupo-Moting (ST, 76)

Piemonte Calcio SBC

This is quickly reached, and you can change positions a bit more due to good chemistry connections. This way you secure a solution in the range of 8,000 to 9,000 coins. Here you save 20,000 coins – for example with these players:

3 Addons that give WoW a whole new gaming experience

Cortyn 11. January 2020 Reading time 4 minutes

If you want to play World of Warcraft in a relaxed atmosphere with high immersion, you should check out these 3 addons. It provides a whole new gaming experience.

In World of Warcraft, the Patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth is just around the corner. This will prompt many players to level up a new alt – whether it be a Vulpera, Mechagnome, or one of the new Death Knights.

But wouldn’t it be the perfect time to upgrade WoW a bit so that the leveling experience is more enjoyable? How about immersing yourself in quests, the game world, and the pure experience for a change?

To enable that, I would like to introduce a combination of 3 interface addons.

But be warned: These addons are not about creating the most effective interface for raids or PvP. Instead, these addons aim to provide ways to give WoW a new look during questing and leveling, focusing more on the game world rather than the interface.

If you prefer addons for maximum effectiveness, you can find them here.

How can you get the addons? You can either download the addons separately from the Curse website or use the Twitch app. This is particularly useful for WoW, as it allows you to update and install addons in seconds.

DynamicCam – Cool camera control for exciting battles

DynamicCam utilizes a feature that was implemented in the game files during WoW: Legion but was never really acknowledged. We are talking about the “ActionCam”. This ensures that the camera is no longer positioned directly behind your character but slightly off to the side. Additionally, the camera moves a bit more dynamically while zooming, which can make for cool screenshots or simply a relaxing view of the game world.

This way, you can always view your character slightly from the side, which makes a big difference, especially for melee characters. For the first time, you are actually able to continuously watch your character as their sword strikes or kicks hit the opponent. Usually, you only see the back of the character and little of the recently revised animations.

GW2 ui – A simpler, prettier interface for more atmosphere

This addon does exactly what the name suggests: It replaces the standard interface of World of Warcraft with the interface of Guild Wars 2. As a result, the screen is much tidier and offers a better view of the game world.

Menu items are semi-transparent and grouped together at the top left of the screen, while abilities and character health points are located at the very bottom.

With the “GW2 ui,” the view is significantly tidier. It becomes much easier to immerse yourself in the game world and draw from the atmosphere of the game. Especially in combination with DynamicCam, World of Warcraft becomes a whole new experience.

Storyline – Better quest texts with small cut-scenes

Let’s be honest: Quests in World of Warcraft are usually accepted without much reading. At best, you might read the brief summary at the end, but in most cases, not even that, instead just following the markers on the map. And that is quite a shame, considering that many quests convey a lot of story.

The fault likely lies with the standard quest window in WoW. It is not inviting, and very few players are inclined to read a “block of text” that holds them up.

Here, the addon “Storyline” provides a remedy. Instead of displaying the entire quest text at once, a new window opens. Here, your character is portrayed alongside the NPC as the quest giver. This creates the impression that your hero is actually talking to the NPC. The quest text is divided into individual passages that – at least visually – are spoken by the NPC.

This means that accepting a quest appropriately takes longer, but quest texts and the story being told are better anchored in memory.

Additional sound settings that can help

To further optimize World of Warcraft and establish a better role-playing experience, it’s worth tweaking the sound options a bit. Open the “System” menu and jump to the volume sliders. It’s best to set all sliders to around 50%, except for ambiance – here, you should choose about 70%. This way, you will hear sounds like footsteps, rain, cricket chirping, or flowing water more clearly, and they won’t completely disappear into the background.

If you combine all these addons and sound settings, leveling a new character can become a whole new experience.

Will you try this way of playing? Or would you rather rush to the maximum level simply and effectively?

Pokémon GO: All new regional Pokémon from Gen 5 and where to catch them

Noah Struthoff 11. January 2020 Reading time 3 minutes

In Pokémon GO there are now 5 new regional Pokémon to catch. They can be found all over the world. We will show you where to find them and which ones can also be found in Germany.

These are the new monsters: Immediately 17 new Pokémon and their evolutions have come to Pokémon GO. 5 of them are regional, so they cannot be found everywhere in the world. These include:

Jiutesto
Karadonis
Maracamba
Symvolara
Barschuft

Here you can find the regional Pokémon

Jiutesto and Karadonis: These two monsters are somewhat comparable to Kicklee and Nockchan. The only difference is that you find them in different locations.

Jiutesto can be found in North and South America and Africa
Karadonis can be found in Europe, Asia, and Australia

You can find Karadonis all over Germany. For Jiutesto, you will have to travel a bit. A popular travel destination for this might be the Canary Islands. They usually belong to Africa in Pokémon GO. There are also monsters like Tropius or Illumise to catch there.

Maracamba: The cactus Pokémon can be found exactly in the regions where you would expect cacti. Exact boundaries are not known yet. However, it seems to inhabit roughly the same area as Skaraborn.

This includes Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America. Parts of the USA, such as southern Florida and Texas, report Maracamba spawns.

Symvolara: This Pokémon has a rather small area where it appears. It is said to only appear in the countries of Egypt and Greece. However, there are already reports from neighboring countries, such as Albania.

This matches as well, because Symvolara resembles gods of Greek and Egyptian mythology. According to the story of Pokémon, it used to guard temples.

Barschuft: This Pokémon is comparable to Schallelos. There are the blue and red Barschuft. They both are categorized according to the western and eastern hemispheres:

Western Hemisphere: blue Barschuft
Eastern Hemisphere: red Barschuft
