In Fortnite, a new weapon has been leaked by data miners. It seems to be so powerful that it’s almost scary. Here’s what we know about it.
Which weapon was leaked? Data miners found data about a heavy assault rifle that is supposed to come in epic and legendary rarity.
How much damage does the weapon deal? The heavy assault rifle is said to deal significant damage, especially headshots would inflict severe damage. Here’s how much damage it deals:
Epic: Body-> 44 damage, Headshot-> 88 damage
Legendary: Body-> 46 damage, Headshot-> 92 damage
These numbers clearly indicate that this weapon is indeed strong and causes enormous damage.
The data miner HYPEX posted the images of the heavy assault rifle on Twitter:

The post also mentions that a well-known weapon is likely to return to the game.
When will the heavy assault rifle be added to the game? This weapon has only been leaked and is not yet available in the game. Data miners found it in the files after the Update 11.20.
When and if it will be added to the game is still unknown. If it does come, it will likely be officially announced by Epic Games.
How does the weapon perform? In another post, HYPEX showed the heavy assault rifle in creative mode and how it would perform in the game:

How is the community reacting? Some players have commented under HYPEX’s video about how powerful this weapon is. They don’t seem to be looking forward to the introduction of the heavy assault rifle. They write:
“So getting hit in the head by a heavy assault rifle is almost like being hit by a sniper. The difference is only about 10 damage.”
“And you think solos are bad now? Imagine your half shield disappearing after just one hit.”
“Mmm, not strong at all…”
“I can’t wait to hear all the aim assist comments.”
What do you think of the leaked weapon? Are you afraid of it as well?
Surprisingly, the developers of Pokémon GO have now increased the limits for item storage and Pokémon. The community is responding positively.
What happened? On the evening of November 22, the developers of Pokémon GO unexpectedly announced on social media that they have increased the Pokémon storage limit. Additionally, you can now theoretically carry more items with you.
You can now carry a maximum of 3,000 Pokémon
You can now have a maximum of 2,500 items in your inventory
If you want to gradually test these new limits, you still need to purchase the upgrades for Pokémon or item storage. The prices remain the same. For 50 additional Pokémon slots, you pay 200 PokéCoins. For 50 additional item slots, you also pay 200 PokéCoins.

Why is Niantic doing this? An increase in possible Pokémon slots has been long requested. After all, Pokémon GO continuously adds more new Pokémon from various generations that players want to collect. For collectors, there are also additional interesting objects like shinies, which the developers regularly release new variants of into the wild.
What does the community suspect? News about the increased capacities has quickly spread among players. Some suspect that Niantic plans to soon introduce more Pokémon from Generation 5 into the wild.
As chatchan writes on Reddit: “Excellent news. I wonder if a new wave of Gen 5 Pokémon could also be coming soon.” Another trainer replies: “I think we will get a new wave at the beginning of December. Just in time for the holiday event.”
Some players on Twitter also believe that new Pokémon from Gen 5 will soon appear:

It is quite possible that the developers want to free up more slots with this step so you can catch new Pokémon from Gen 5.
How do you like the change? Were you already at the limit or did you have enough space?

More community managers at Blizzard are leaving. Christian “Rynundu” Döbel was the last community manager in the German-speaking area, where he mainly took care of Hearthstone and Diablo 3. Additionally, World of Warcraft has lost its German CM – apparently, no replacement is planned.
What happened? In a recent forum post, the last German community manager Rynundu announced his farewell.
He says:
“There have been many changes at Blizzard this year, and they have not passed me by. This week was my last as community manager for Hearthstone and Diablo.”
As of today, November 22, Rynundu will no longer work as a community manager. However, he will remain employed by Blizzard and will now focus on localization for their games.
So far, no replacement for the missing community managers is in sight. This raises concerns.
Rynundu assists in localization – Possibly also for Overwatch 2.
These are likely the “changes at Blizzard” that Rynundu refers to in his post.
Activision Blizzard’s plan was to cut positions in all areas not directly related to the development of new games. Since Blizzard has not released any new games since 2016, it seems that a harsh atmosphere has prevailed there for some time. According to insider reports, Activision is tightening the reins and has issued a savings program.
In the USA, layoffs happen quite rapidly. In France, where the EU headquarters of Blizzard is located, there is, however, stronger employment protection. Here, there is a two-month notice period if the employee has worked at the company for at least two years.
There have been layoffs in many areas.
Additionally, in France, the union must approve severance pay, which can take some time with multiple layoffs. According to LeMonde, the negotiation lasted until June 20. Severance amounts had already been mentioned regarding Blizzard:
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, certain matches can hit with super bullets that deal double damage and take you down. How do these nasty bullets come about?
In action-packed shooters like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, a proper internet connection is crucial for a good gaming experience.
However, often you can’t do anything about the poor match connection and still have to live with the consequences or die quickly due to super bullets.
Super Bullets deal double damage
What are super bullets in CoD? These are bullets that deal more damage than they are supposed to.
The impact is accordingly higher and can mean a quick end with headshots.
This feels unfair to players because they feel like they died unjustly.
How is the high damage generated? The enhanced bullets are actually 2 bullets in one shot, arriving simultaneously at the player due to a weakness in the netcode.
The netcode of an online game regulates the connections between the game server and the users, determining how the information from you reaches your opponent when you shoot or move.
Weakness in the netcode leads to errors in the matrix
Why are there such killer bullets? The dedicated YouTuber “Battle(non)sense” posted a graphic on Twitter of his current video, in which he explains the problems that can arise with an unbalanced netcode.
At the top as a cartridge the fire rate of a 600 shots-per-minute (RPM) rifle
one shot every 100ms
Secondly, the update rate of the connection in red, here 10 Hz
This rate determines how often information is exchanged
10 Hz here is 100 milliseconds or 0.1 seconds
Then as a third, a weapon with 750 RPM as cartridge
one shot every 80 ms, thus below the update rate
At the very bottom for comparison, a connection with 60 Hz / about 17 ms in blue
The weapon with a fire rate of 750 RPM spits out bullets faster than the players’ pings last. This leads to the super bullet phenomenon, as two bullets were fired within one update and then arrive.
In short: A low tick rate combined with fast-firing weapons can lead to these super bullets, which feel unfair to players.
Why is this a problem in Modern Warfare? CoD traditionally has a large community of players who organize themselves into clans and compete against each other. This is also partially organized into leagues and for many players, it is a real hobby.
With the investigation by “Battle(non)sense” of the CoD netcode, it has now been revealed that private matches, contrary to the developers’ claims, can also be client-based – meaning a specific player is the host and not the CoD servers are used for the match.
This is the problem with private matches: The rate in these private matches is significantly lower than in games on dedicated servers provided by Modern Warfare, which according to “Battle(non)sense” are around 60 Hz (except Ground War).
This rate is only at 12 Hz (about 83.3 ms) and is therefore, according to the statement in the video, very susceptible to errors and curiosities in transmission. This low tick rate can lead to increased occurrences of “super bullets” in these modes.

Today, on November 22, Season 19 begins in Diablo 3. We will show you your favorite classes, the time, and all information about S19.
When does Season 19 start? On Friday, November 22, 2019, Season 19 starts on PC at 5:00 PM German time.
When does S19 start on PS4, Xbox One, Switch? Console players will have to wait a bit longer for the new season. It starts for you at 2:00 AM German time on the morning of November 23.
What content is available? In Update 2.6.7, the developers added new sets. One for monks and one for crusaders. You can now try them out and test them for the first time in a season.
Additionally, you can expect cosmetic rewards. If you missed these in Season 7, you can acquire them again in S19:
Those who completely finish the season journey will receive two rewards for it.
The portrait frame of valor
and the companion “Heavenly Goblin”
These classes you want to play
Before the start of Season 19, we asked you which classes you want to take into this new chapter. You voted diligently and showed that the Barbarian is currently popular with you.
These are your favorite classes: Our poll about your favorite class in S19 has received a total of 1458 votes (as of November 22, 09:09 AM). Here are the results:
Barbarian: 317 votes ~ 22 %
Demon Hunter: 285 votes ~ 20 %
Crusader: 231 votes ~ 16 %
Sorcerer: 200 votes ~ 14 %
Witch Doctor: 156 votes ~ 11 %
Monk: 138 votes ~ 9 %
Necromancer: 131 votes ~ 8 %
Many of you want to fight through the new Season 19 in Diablo 3 with the Barbarian. This could be because this class recently received a bit of love from the developers in Patch 2.6.7a.
When will you receive the gift? When you complete chapters 2, 3, and 4 of the season journey with your characters, you will be rewarded with Haedrig’s Gift. It will appear as an icon on your screen and can be clicked into your inventory.
When you open the gift, you will receive set pieces for the class with which you open the gift. If you unlock all gifts, you will receive a complete set for your class.
In each season, the gift sets rotate. In Season 19, the distribution is as follows:
The new Season 19 runs under the theme of the Eternal Conflict. You will receive the buff “Pandemonium”. This is activated when you consecutively kill a series of enemies. Each stack of this effect slightly increases your movement speed and damage bonus.
How strong is Pandemonium? At a maximum of 1,000 stacks,
+50 % movement speed
and +100 % damage added
At certain kill streak counts, the following bonuses are also added:
15 killed enemies: Homing exploding chickens will attack your enemies.
30 killed enemies: An area Frost Nova will freeze enemies.
50 killed enemies: It will rain corpses from the sky.
100 killed enemies: Five massive energy vortices will be unleashed.
150 killed enemies: Dark geysers will form beneath the enemies.
200 killed enemies: Treasure chests will fall from the sky.
300 killed enemies: A fire ring will engulf everything.
400 killed enemies: Meteors will fall from the sky.
500 killed enemies: Angels will descend onto the battlefield and join you.
In this guide, we show you how to level up quickly in Season 19 of Diablo 3 . We explain the individual steps of leveling and why a Challenge Rift is worth it.
What is this guide about? At the start of a new season in Diablo 3, many players want to quickly get through leveling, collect Haedrig’s gifts, and then quickly get started with large Nephalem Rifts. To reach level 70 quickly, we have some tips for you to level effectively.
This guide is aimed less at beginners who are playing Diablo 3 for the first time but more at experienced players and returning players who have already gathered some hours in D3.
Leveling Quickly in Season 19 of Diablo 3
Since the last seasons, the leveling process in Diablo 3 has hardly changed. You will receive assistance from the Pandemonium buff, which increases your movement speed and damage. Additionally, killstreaks provide strong rewards on the battlefield. We show you how the seasonal theme works in Season 19 here.
The Start with Challenge Portal
First, create a character with the class you want to play. Make sure to check the box for “Seasonal” when creating, so you participate in S19 with this character. If you haven’t chosen a class yet, ask the Wheel of Destiny here.
Enter the game and then immediately go back to the menu. Now start the Challenge Portal and complete it. Note: This only works if you have already completed a Greater Nephalem Rift in Diablo 3. If you haven’t done this yet, skip this step.
The Challenge Portal is good for receiving the reward (bounty materials, Essence of Death, and gold). The leveling process begins after the portal.
Start a new game in Adventure Mode at the Master difficulty level
Now open your bag, which you received as a reward from the Challenge Portal
Depending on your class, you can now trade certain items at Kadala at Level 1, as you have Blood Shards from the reward bag. You can find out from which level which items drop for your class here on D3planner.com
Get the Templar’s weapon now (Note: Demon Hunters take the Rogue’s weapon)
Now look for an easy boss bounty. Here Zoltun Kull, Skeleton King, or Maghda are good options. Complete the boss bounty and grab the gear there
Depending on your class, you might want to wait to trade the Blood Shards until you reach a higher level. Players who have not completed a Challenge Portal should grab the Templar’s weapon on Master difficulty, look for one of the mentioned boss bounties, and complete it.
Kana’s Cube in Season 19
Unlocking Kana’s Cube: This step is now important for players who have completed the Challenge Portal.
Teleport to Act 3 to unlock Kana’s Cube. Then fully upgrade the Blacksmith in the city and craft a Level 70 weapon or armor.
Since Season 17, you can fully upgrade the Blacksmith, craft a Level 70 item, upgrade it to a legendary item in Kana’s Cube, and extract its legendary property to use for leveling. This can be done starting from Level 1.
Therefore, if you want to use a legendary property early, hope that the right legendary emerges when upgrading a rare item crafted by the Blacksmith.
With this preparation, you now start the actual leveling process. Depending on your playstyle, you can level either with Massacre bonuses in the halls of agony Level 1-3 or clear the Nephalem Rifts. As a solo player, the Massacre bonuses are preferable. In groups, it’s best to use these until a maximum level of 30 and then switch to normal Nephalem Rifts.
Every 8-10 levels, you can visit the Blacksmith and try to craft a better weapon there
Regularly check in with the vendors in the city. They might sell you rings or amulets that offer the affix “+ damage”. These are great for leveling
If you loot a head item with a socket, put a red gem in it, which will give you more experience points. If you have weapons with socket slots, red gems are also suitable here. They directly increase damage.
Level 24 – 40
By now, the grinding starts. You will best level in normal Rifts, i.e., Nephalem Rifts. Make sure to kill the monsters there quickly and always adjust the difficulty accordingly. It should not be too easy but also not too hard. If you spend too much time with monster groups, you should lower the difficulty.
Once you reach level 40, fully train the Mystic.
Craft a 2H weapon for Level 70 at the Blacksmith now. Keep crafting until one of the secondary bonuses with %-affix appears (% chance to freeze, blind, etc.).
If you get such a weapon with this affix, go to the Mystic and roll for the other secondary bonus. The goal is to get a level reduction as close to 30 levels as possible.
Once you can equip the weapon, ramp up the difficulty. Start at Torment 6 and then gradually adjust down. This huge damage from the weapon should carry you far ahead.
If all goes according to plan, you now have a Level 70 weapon that you can already equip at level 40, a legendary property in Kana’s Cube, and armor from Kadala.
Level 40-70
With this, you are well equipped to fight your way to the maximum level. If possible, on a high torment level, so you get a lot of experience points. But this should still be time-efficient.
Complete the normal Rifts until you reach level 70. If you want, you can start farming bounties 2-3 levels earlier to collect important materials. This also provides variety away from the monotonous farming of Nephalem Rifts.
Which build should you play? We have summarized for you in the tier list which builds are the strongest for the different classes in Diablo 3 in S19. If you are looking for inspiration, take a look there:
Since the latest update 1.09 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, more and more players are reporting that they are not receiving experience points. This disrupts their progress. However, they have already found solutions.
They complete matches, but in the end, they receive neither experience points for their player progress nor for the weapon levels. Some are just a few XP before leveling up and never reach it.
Since when has this been the case? Reports have been increasing since update 1.09 went live. Some players, however, state that this has been the case before. Possibly the hotfix from Tuesday is to blame.
The patch from Tuesday buffed the AUG but possibly disrupted XP.
Affected are users on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. However, the exact cause is still unknown. For now, it means: wait and see.
Temporary solution: switch weapons for XP
Here’s how to fix the issue:On reddit, it is repeatedly pointed out that there is a workaround if experience points are missing. According to players, it helps to simply switch the weapon in the loadout.
To do this, go to the multiplayer menu and open your equipment, where you can also find the gunsmith feature. Switch your primary weapon to another one and back again. For safety, you can also switch your secondary weapon.
Afterward, you should normally receive experience points again for both your level and for the weapon tiers.
In our tests, the bug did not occur. Therefore, we cannot currently verify the solution ourselves.
When will a fix come? So far, there have been no new tweets on the channels of Infinity Ward or Communications Manager Ashton Williams. It is also still unclear how many people are actually affected.
Since a hotfix/patch and an update have already been released this week, a solution to the problem could come soon, provided more players are affected.
How about you? Are you getting XP or not? What is your solution?
Last night, a new event started in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. In the crossover with “Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds”, you can obtain Aloy’s weapon.
With Iceborne, Monster Hunter World received a frosty expansion. How fitting that the snowy weather is also the center of the add-on from “Horizon Zero Dawn”. In “The Frozen Wilds”, you dive into a new adventure as the heroine Aloy. And now you can grab a weapon in Monster Hunter World from this.
The heroine Aloy in freezing cold
Aloy’s “Storm Flinger Prototype”
During this period, the crossover is running: The event with “Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds” started on the night of November 21 to 22. The event runs until January 9, 2020.
In December 2019, the second part of the event will be released. An exact date for the beginning and end is not yet known.
You need this item for the weapon: As is customary in the crossovers in Monster Hunter World, you can collect small notes. This time they are called “Banuk Warrior Symbol” and help you get a light bowgun and a pendant for your weapon.
The “Storm Flinger Prototype” in view
These materials are also required: The bowgun can be obtained as usual at the blacksmith. To be able to craft Aloy’s weapon, you will need the following materials:
3x Banuk Warrior Symbol
4x Zinogre Fatal Shock
1x Zinogre Hardhorn
2x Zinogre Hardclaw
This is what the “Storm Flinger Prototype” can do: Aloy’s weapon from “The Frozen Wilds” deals 390 damage. It also looks incredibly stylish and offers you the following stats:
One slot for level 4 decorations
Three possible upgrades
0% affinity
Rapid fire on Normal I and Shotgun I ammunition
High capacity for Thunder ammunition
This ammunition can be fired
This is how the new weapon performs: Despite the high damage and the large slot for decorations, the light bowgun is not that strong. This is mainly due to the limited options for your ammunition.
However, you should not write off the weapon just yet. According to the Iceborne roadmap, the event will continue in December 2019 with “Part 2”. Then you will be able to improve your “Storm Flinger Prototype” again.
What else can be obtained at the event: In addition to the new bowgun, there is also a pendant for your weapon again. These trinkets can also be crafted at the blacksmith. It is called “Focus” and has a glowing effect.
The pendant “Focus”
Tips and tricks for the event quest
This quest awaits you: If you want to secure the “Storm Flinger Prototype”, you need to complete the mission “Into the Icy Wilderness”. In this, you must defeat a Zinogre in the Frostfang Wilderness.
You only need Master Rank 24, which you reach by completing your story in Iceborne. As usual, you can complete the mission alone or together with other players.
This is your required quest
How to defeat Zinogre
This is what you should do before the fight: You will be undertaking this mission in the Frostfang Wilderness. So pack hot drinks or grab them from the box there. Alternatively, you can wear gear with “Cold Protection”, which makes you immune to the harsh temperatures.
Before your quest, you should, as usual, visit the canteen. Some dishes provide you with “Element Resistance High (L)”. This gives you 15 points to your defense against Thunder. Of course, there are also buffs for those who are more about attack.
Which weapon type you play is ultimately up to you and your preferences. However, Zinogre is particularly vulnerable to the Ice element. Hence, weapons of this type are recommended, for example, the Velkhana weapons.
Your opponent: Zinogre
Who is Zinogre, actually? Zinogre is a swift Fanged Wyvern and attacks you with Thunder. So, you should be prepared to dodge or block accordingly. Thunder resistance and a Thunder protection mantle are also advisable. Taking a closer look at the monster’s strengths and weaknesses can also be beneficial.
Additionally, you should always have Slinger ammunition ready and use your clutch claw regularly. This can inflict wounds on the opponent and deal strong attacks. However, caution is advised here. Especially when Zinogre is enraged, he does not appreciate your claw attacks that much.
What about an Aloy armor or deco armor?
Unfortunately, no further rewards have been confirmed yet. Whether we can expect an armor set or a deco armor in “Part 2” in December is also unknown. Those who were unable to obtain the rewards from the first collaboration with “Horizon Zero Dawn”, including deco armor, will have to wait for a return of the event.
If you still need a Christmas gift, why not buy these figures:
Along with that came many improvements, thanks to which the game now runs really well. However, with the patch some issues have evidently also arisen. One of them particularly affects the gameplay.
The Maliwan Raid demands everything from you
Players miss their Guardian Ranks
What are Guardian Ranks? The Guardian Ranks are an additional progression system that you can only unlock in the endgame. Here you gain bonus stats that make you even stronger.
Where have the Guardian Ranks gone? Many players reported after the patch that the Guardian Ranks simply are no longer active. This, of course, causes problems – especially since Mayhem 4 and Maliwan Takedown are already quite challenging. The missing perks complicate things even more – not to mention the regular gameplay: “My build is completely ruined because I rely on shield regeneration,” reports reddit user “TrippzUK“. He now has no shields about 90% of the time.
Without Guardian Ranks, endgame becomes difficult
Players are facing difficulties: Due to the problems, it has become complicated when you are down and want to earn a second chance. On one hand, the targeting system doesn’t work properly anymore, and life is not replenished sufficiently. This is deadly on the new difficulties: “Mayhem 4 is virtually unplayable solo without the Guardian Ranks,” finds “BrinksTrucc“.
This is how Gearbox reacts: The problem has been noticed and is on the developers’ list, as announced on Twitter:

They are working to reactivate the perks as soon as possible. However, the developers could not yet provide a precise timeframe for this.
We hope that the problems are resolved quickly. After all, the atmosphere in Borderlands 3 is actually very good right now. Also, because players are looking forward to the first DLC:
Those who want to buy the mighty Caravan Brontosaurus in World of Warcraft should act quickly. The auction house mount will vanish from the merchants’ portfolio with Shadowlands and will only be available at a higher price and less frequently.
That’s why the mount is currently a “bargain”: The Caravan Brontosaurus will not be purchasable from the merchants The crafty Nick and Talutu anymore with the upcoming WoW expansion Shadowlands.
The locations of Nick and Talutu.
Instead, the reins of the mount will be added to the pool of possible items in the black market auction house. The Brontosaurus will only be available there. This was confirmed by Community Manager Kaivax in the forum. Ownership will also become an achievement.
Those who have 5 million easily make a bargain with the dino at the moment. In the future, it will certainly be more expensive.
Caravan Brontosaurus in Shadowlands will only be available on the black market
What makes the mount so special? The Caravan Brontosaurus is the first and only mount that allows players to have an auction house with them. One of the two NPCs sitting on the Brontosaurus grants access to auctions.
The mount shares its utility with the expedition yak along with the transmogrifizer or the tundra mammoth, which was the first mobile merchant offered.
However, the dino also serves as a “gold sink,” meaning it takes gold out of the game. WoW has previously introduced mounts for this purpose, such as the immensely expensive spider.
When will Shadowlands be released? No concrete release date for the new WoW expansion is known yet. Initially, Patch 8.3 for World of Warcraft is expected to be released in early 2020.
So it may still take a while before the Brontosaurus disappears. However, the price of the WoW token is already decreasing, which could have something to do with the announcement. Anyone who still lacks gold that they want to balance with real money should hurry.
This tier list shows you the best classes, builds, and gear for Season 19 in Diablo 3, starting on November 22, 2019. New sets for the Monk and Crusader are also included.
Playing the season is worth it, as there are cosmetic rewards awaiting you. Haedrig’s Season Journey presents you with new tasks, even a portrait frame is included again.
Who creates this tier list? The Diablo expert Bluddshed (Here you will find the YouTube channel of Bluddshed) is celebrated in the community for his analyses.
Regularly, he publishes tier lists that fit the current patch and show the strongest classes and builds of the current season in Diablo 3. In his stream, he discussed the tier list with his viewers and together voted on which builds are strong. His personal experience with the sets also flows into this tier list.
We show you his tier list for Season 19 here.
What do the tiers of the tier list mean? In the tier list, different tiers are distinguished. Builds in the “God” category are considered the strongest of the current season, while builds in the “C” category are weaker.
Nevertheless, all these combinations are good. A build from Tier C can still be played well and reach high levels in the Greater Rifts. However, a build from Tier God has more potential.
Generally, this list should be used as a rough guide for orientation and not as the absolute truth. Over the course of the seasons, the ranking of the best sets could still change.
With all these builds, you’ll easily break through Greater Rifts of level 70. You need this to unlock the primal ancient items. These are the most powerful items in Diablo 3.
What we will show you: On this page and the next, we will present the three potentially best builds for each class. If you click on the name of a build, you will be redirected to the corresponding websites. There you will find the items, weapons, skills, and gem sockets required for the respective build.
Explanation: LoN and LoD are abbreviations for legacy items.
In Season 19, the Spin-to-Win Barbarian with the WW build will likely be popular. Recent buffs have brought joy to Barbarian players. In our class survey, the Barbarian ranked first among your favorite classes for S19.
S-Tier – WW-Barb (via Diablofans.com) – The Whirlwind Barbarian has climbed the ranks again due to the buff of Rend. The build is easy to play and is also suitable for speed farming. Spin to win!
A-Tier – Seismic Slam Barbarian (via Diablofans.com) – With this build, you are relatively safe regarding enemy attacks. You don’t have to stand in the mobs; you deal damage while being mobile. Possibly also interesting for hardcore players.
A-Tier – LoD HOTA Barb (via Diablofans.com) – This build makes you even more stable than the Seismic Slam one. However, you deal significantly less damage. A safe build for hardcore players.

In Fortnite there is a funny glitch that transforms you into giants or dwarfs. A YouTuber shows how you can try the glitch yourself.
What is this glitch? There is a way to change your body size in Fortnite. Players can suddenly become very big or small.
Normally, you can only change your appearance in Fortnite by purchasing various skins and customizing them with cosmetics.
This would be a very different way to change your appearance in a fun way.
YouTuber shows how to change size
How does the glitch work? The YouTuber pinguinzomby built an island where you can apply the glitch. If you join this island and follow the instructions, you can change the size of your character.
The code for the island is: 6098-5140-3070. Just go to your island in creative mode, but don’t enter it. When you stand in front of it, press interact and a menu will open where you can enter the code. When the island has loaded, you can simply enter the rift.
Once you’re on the island, you just have to follow the instructions on the wall. This way you can change your size in the game.
Here you can see the video from YouTuber pinguinzomby, where he explains the whole process so you can use the glitch on the island as well:

Important: This glitch only works in creative mode and does not give you any advantage in matchmaking modes.
It is merely for fun. If you want to prank your friends or create some funny pictures or videos. Your imagination is the limit. If you’re already in creative mode, why not try out these cool parkour maps.
Will you also try this glitch? What ideas come to your mind about it?
The legendary LoL team SKT1 (now T1) is falling apart after the World Championships in the League of Legends 2019. Support Mata and jungler Clid are already gone. The strong top laner Khan has announced his departure. Even the coach seems to be leaving SKT1.
The experienced support, Mata, has left the team. That was pretty clear beforehand. Mata hardly played last year.
But the strong jungler, Clid (20), has also changed teams. He said he did not take the decision lightly. Clid will now play for Gen.G., the former rivals of Samsung Galaxy – they too had fallen into a hole after the 2017 World Championships.
The top laner Khan announced his departure from SKT1 via Facebook. But he has not found a new club yet. Khan says he is looking for a new challenge and wants to experience a “second spring,” he will turn 26 next year.
The legendary coach kkOma no longer has a contract with SKT1 and could possibly leave. With him, there is still the greatest hope that he stays.
In addition, Zefa, Haru, Crazy, and Fly left – these are 3 substitute players and one further coach.
Especially frustrating seems to be that Clid is not moving to China and is out of the league, but rather to the “old rival” Gen.G. – they were long the biggest competition for SKT1 in Korea as “Samsung Galaxy”.
Jungler Clid.
New jungler comes from DragonX
This is now the team: SKT1 has extended Faker’s contract. He will stay in the team until 2021 – on the mid lane.
The contract of the young support Effort (18) has also been extended.
We’re thrilled to announce that Lee “Effort” Sang-ho and Mun “Cuzz” U-chan will be joining T1 for 2020 and beyond, pending league approval. Please welcome Cuzz to the T1 family, and welcome Effort back home! #T1WIN#T1Fightingpic.twitter.com/aBUwUPWFMz
As a new jungler, Moon “Cuzz” Woo-Chan (20) has been signed. He was previously with DragonX.
ADC Teddy (21) still has a contract with SKT1 until 2020.
Who plays top lane seems to be still open at the moment.
Above all, the loss of Clid is a blow
This is the background: At first glance and even at second, this looks like a serious blow for Faker and SKT1. Khan and Clid were central to SKT1’s success last year. Especially Clid, at 20, seemed like he still had his best times ahead of him and would carry the weight for SKT1 for years.
In contrast, Faker seemed not entirely in sync with the rest of the team at the Worlds. In the semifinals of the 2019 Worlds, he showed unexpected weaknesses.
This is the hope for Stadia: Other users mainly see the many possibilities of Google’s new cloud gaming service. Stadia offers plenty of potential despite the rocky start.
One of the users is Sante M. who commented on our Facebook page. He says:
Multiplayer battles of extreme sizes and entirely new possibilities can arise since everything is calculated centrally. More possibilities can be seen on YouTube. For example, a streamer can simply insert a link into his live stream to allow others to join directly.
Google Stadia has the potential to be an alternative to an expensive gaming PC for many of you. However, at the moment, the requirements are still not met for many.

We asked you what you think about Google Stadia, whether you have any first experiences with it, or if you prefer to wait. This is how you voted.
What was the survey about? Since Tuesday, Google’s new cloud-based gaming platform has been online. The first reviews are mixed and the mood among buyers is tense. We wanted to know from you in a survey what you think about Stadia, and these are the results.
These were your answers: Of the 563 MeinMMO readers who participated in the survey, here is how they voted:
30% of participants have no interest in Google’s new cloud-based streaming service.
27% have not purchased, but are still observing the streaming service.
14% have ordered and are satisfied with it.
10% definitely want to buy Stadia.
8% have ordered Stadia and regret their purchase.
Almost 50% are either in possession of Stadia or are still interested in it. Given the current mood and reviews, it is a surprising result.
This is why the survey is surprising:Many reviews are mixed about Stadia. However, among customers, the mood is currently rather poor due to delayed deliveries and missing activation codes.
Therefore, one would actually expect that the interest in the cloud gaming service would be lower.
However, among our readers, 27% of participants are still interested in Stadia despite the negative reports and are considering a purchase in the future. Some of you also mentioned that you anticipated these launch problems and are not surprised now.
It was to be expected that there would be problems at launch. […]
Many are willing to give the service a chance and wait to see if the service and quality improve. 10% of respondents still intend to adopt the cloud gaming service.
Stadia promises that you can play high-end titles on all devices, from PC to smartphone, without issues.
Among actual Stadia owners, there is a divide. Just over 1/3 of buyers are dissatisfied with their Stadia, although it is not clear whether the device itself is the issue, the poor service that many complain about, or both.
With all the negative reports, one would expect more dissatisfied customers. Criticism, such as the limited game selection, was resolved by Google just before launch. Players are waiting for other solutions:
The criticisms of Stadia: You told us in the comments under the survey why you are critical of Stadia. For example, MeinMMO reader EliazVance finds the system too inflexible. Therefore, he prefers to observe Stadia further:
I would be interested in the principle of “game streaming”, I wouldn’t mind giving up the bulky energy hog at home. But with Stadia in its current state, that’s unthinkable. I will accordingly observe it further, but as it currently looks, Stadia will not be attractive for me anytime soon.

The Pokémon GO Community Day in December brings a lot of event Pokémon with special moves. Many of them are very suitable for PvP.
This is the December Community Day: For the year’s end, Pokémon GO is not bringing a single event Pokémon as usual, but several. The lineup consists of former Community Day Pokémon – including their special moves.
These moves are extremely powerful and very useful in PvP of Pokémon GO. The experts from “TheSilphRoad” have found out which moves are particularly good for the Great League. We summarize the results here for you.
What are the best Community Day Pokémon in PvP?
These Pokémon are the best for PvP: Four Pokémon from the many event monsters are very well suited for the Great League. These are the final evolutions of the respective Pokémon. If you play in the Great League, you need to be careful not to bring the Pokémon over 1500 CP.
1. Venusaur
This is why Venusaur is suitable for PvP: Venusaur is a strong grass attacker and evolves from Bulbasaur. It comes with the move Petal Blizzard – a strong grass move that charges quickly. However, it only works in the Great League if you catch it in the wild. Evolved Venusaur from raids and eggs become too strong.
2. Umbreon
This is why Umbreon is suitable for PvP: The Eevee evolution Umbreon will learn the move Last Resort during the Community Day – a Normal-type move. This attack deals neutral damage to many Pokémon and makes it a good all-rounder in PvP.
3. Charizard
This is why Charizard is suitable for PvP: Not only is Charizard an absolute favorite among many Pokémon fans – it is also a really strong attacker in PvP. Blast Burn is the Community Day move for Charizard. The Fire attack is extremely strong and perfect for PvP.
4. Swampert
This is why Swampert is suitable for PvP: Swampert evolves from Mudkip and learns the powerful Water move Hydro Cannon. Combined with the fast move Mud Shot, Swampert is perfect for breaking the shields of the opponent’s trainer very quickly.
These Pokémon are also strong in PvP
Which Pokémon are also suitable? The following Pokémon are not quite as optimal for PvP as the four mentioned above, but they are still very good options for the Great League. If you have the opportunity, try these Community Day Pokémon in PvP:
Meganium with Petal Blizzard
Gardevoir with Synchronoise
Gallade with Synchronoise
Blaziken with Blast Burn
Tyranitar with Smack Down
Blastoise with Hydro Cannon
Typhlosion with Blast Burn
Metagross with Meteor Mash
The other event Pokémon are not quite as useful in PvP. However, you are not completely lost with them. And especially some are more useful to you in other areas like Gyms or Raids! So you should definitely participate in the Community Day – even if you are not a PvP fan.
In the coming spring, a new PvP league is set to launch:
Destiny 2 was advertised as the flagship title for Google Stadia’s cloud gaming service. However, currently, (still) not many guardians are active on Stadia. The unofficial player numbers are disappointing for this major launch title.
What is the story behind Google Stadia and Destiny 2? Thanks to Google Stadia, you no longer need to download games. You also do not need a powerful gaming PC or a current console. You can stream the titles from laptops, smartphones, and televisions directly via Google servers: No more waiting for downloads and patches.
Destiny 2 was intended to be the launch title for Google Stadia. Bungie and Google have entered into a deep cooperation for this purpose. With buttery smooth 60 FPS and a resolution of up to 4K, Destiny 2 should also impress players on older devices or mobile – provided a good internet connection.
Destiny 2 holds a special place on Google Stadia: It was the title that premium customers received “for free” when they subscribed. Almost all other games need to be purchased separately by Google Stadia customers – it is not a “subscription service like Netflix.”
High-End Gameplay for everyone – Google Stadia’s motto
Plan for long waiting times
Here are the player numbers on Google Stadia: Stadia has officially launched, and we guardians can save the universe on another platform. However, the player numbers on Google’s streaming devices currently look rather modest.
Only 0.7% of all “Destiny 2” players are active on Google Stadia. On November 20, fewer than 10,000 players logged in throughout the entire day. In contrast, over 1.3 million users were active on the other platforms. Almost half of them on Steam.
Valves platform recorded 550,000 users and has become the largest hub for Destiny 2 since the Shadowkeep launch.
Where do the numbers come from? The Stadia numbers come from Charlemagne. This is a tool that can display not only daily player numbers but also the distribution of guardians across individual activities. The numbers may not be 100% accurate but do show a clear trend.
Especially low is the Stadia population in these areas of Destiny 2:
In PvP, only 44 players were active throughout the day.
Only 13 players tried Gambit.
A total of 52 guardians “gathered” in the raids.
The majority of players are still engaged in the story and PvE.
Dead hose? – The player numbers for November 20. Source: Cheese Forever
What could be the reasons for this? Google Stadia is still a very young way to experience Destiny 2. The streaming service is still in its infancy and has some startup issues.
Many guardians view the situation somewhat cautiously from a distance. Even here on Mein-MMO, you want to wait and see how the situation around Destiny 2 and Stadia develops.
I canceled my pre-order today and will wait and see and check out the first reviews… Even with a good LAN connection, “Destiny servers contacted” happens extraordinarily often. I don’t want to know how it runs with a streamed game over Wi-Fi.
Currently, concerns about the internet connection seem to be the thorn in the shoe. The renowned gaming journalist Jason Schreier has his own problems with Destiny 2 on Stadia.
While he is impressed by the fast loading times and the fact that the concept of cloud gaming works. However, the connection quality and the stuttering are noticeable issues. Schreier also mentions that he was unable to participate in a Crucible match. Simply not enough players could be found.
What do you think of Destiny 2 on Google Stadia – Does Bungie’s looter-shooter have a future on the innovative platform, or will the streaming service soon disappear into oblivion?
What does the future of the MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online (LotRO) look like now that the One Ring has been destroyed in the story? The developers still have many ideas.
What have the developers said? The One Ring has been destroyed in the story of the MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online. With that, the underlying story of the original novels by J.R.R. Tolkien also came to an end.
However, the developers are already telling further stories, as the Minas Morgul update shows, and they want to continue to do so in the future. Standing Stone Games, the studio behind the MMORPG, stated that they could essentially support the game forever. At least there are content ideas for the next 20 years!
Much is possible, but not everything
What content could still come? The developers explain that the continent of Middle-earth is huge and there are still plenty of regions that have not been addressed yet.
The team would like to address areas such as Harad (the desert region in the south of the continent) as well as Umbar, Núrn, and Rhûn. These are all lands that have interesting histories but have only been mentioned in passing so far.
What is problematic? The content of The Lord of the Rings Online must be set in the Third Age of the world and beyond. There is currently no way to use the stories from Tolkien’s Silmarillion, which deal with the events of the First and Second Ages.
However, with Amazon’s upcoming series on The Lord of the Rings, which apparently takes place in the Second Age, this could change. It might then be possible for Standing Stone Games to acquire the rights and create content for this period in the history of Middle-earth.

How is the new MMORPG set in The Lord of the Rings?Amazon is currently working on a new MMORPG in Middle-earth. However, Standing Stone Games does not see this as a problem. The developers simply continue as before and do not believe that the two games will interfere significantly with each other.
The Lord of the Rings Online is currently doing quite well and the fans are very loyal.
How is The Lord of the Rings Online MMORPG doing right now? The Lord of the Rings Online has a loyal fanbase and even today over twelve years after release it is still well-received. The ratings on Steam were at 82 percent and Very Positive in the past 30 days.
The number of players on Steam has steadily increased over the past four months. On average, about 624 players were playing the MMORPG concurrently in the last 30 days according to Steamcharts. At peak times, there were 1,352 players. And this only includes players who are playing through Steam and not through their own launcher.
If you are planning to join LotRO, you can expect plenty of new content.
The new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is facing new issues. After some bugs appeared post-release, players have now discovered a major glitch: some walls display enemies behind them.
This is the problem: Players can currently see the nameplates of their opponents through walls. This is the case with some walls made of particle board, which can be penetrated by many weapons and all full metal jacket rounds.
It is therefore possible to see and take out enemies through walls without ever having to expose oneself. Reddit user T4yz posted an example from the new map Shoot House:

Where does this occur? Shoot House is not the only map where this glitch happens. There are also spots on the slightly older map Grazna Raid where enemies can be seen behind or even completely through walls.
A brief overview of affected spots was posted by user BaconOG:

When will this be fixed? The patch notes for today’s patch 1.09 do not yet contain a fix for this bug. We do not know exactly when a fix will come or if patch 1.09 contains an undocumented fix.
How can I protect myself? To avoid being suddenly shot through walls, you should be cautious behind cover in many of the multiplayer modes at the moment. Always expect that the enemy can still see you if there are other spots.
However, if you want to be absolutely sure that you won’t die from this bug, you should play the realism or hardcore modes. In “Realism”, many elements of the classic HUD are removed – including the nameplates.
The realism mode disables many HUD elements and also enables night maps.
In the realism variants, it is not possible to see nameplates, even through walls. The downside here is that you also go down much faster when hit.
