The TOTW 9 (Team of the Week) in FIFA 20 is now known. We show you which players are part of the current Team of the Week.
This is the Team of the Week: Every Wednesday, the Team of the Week is released in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team. Here, 23 players who have outstanding performances in real football are selected by EA Sports.
These players receive, in addition to a place in the TOTW, improved Inform cards that are available in packs for one week.
The highlights in TOTW 9: The probably best card this week belongs to Lionel Messi with an overall rating of 95. Lewandowski (91), Szczesny (87), Robertson (86), and Nainggolan (86) also received decent Inform cards this week.
Bundesliga players in TOTW 9: Players with Bundesliga teams can look forward to new TOTW cards from Robert Lewandowski (91), Herrmann (81), Hennings (80), and Trimmel (79).
This is Messi’s first Inform card: Lionel Messi makes it into the Team of the Week in FUT 20 for the first time this week. His new special card is thus the strongest card in the game, aside from Icon cards.
The new Messi card has the most improvements in the following areas:
Speed: 87 -> 89
Physicality: 66 -> 68
This is the Team of the Week 9

The release of TOTW 9: The new Inform cards of Team of the Week 9 are available today at 7:00 PM in packs.
Bronze or Silver Inform cards can be found in the corresponding Bronze and Silver packs.
On the transfer market: However, it’s better to use the transfer market if you want a specific Inform card. Prices for new cards are quite high at the beginning. So, wait a bit.
Making coins with the TOTW: If you want to make coins with the TOTW, you should focus on TOTW trading. Here we tell you how it works:
Was WoW: Battle for Azeroth was quickly buried and many contents removed? Cortyn suspects: Yes. Because there are many indications…
Battle for Azeroth is slowly coming to an end and with it, another chapter of the story of World of Warcraft is coming to a close. But I can’t shake the suspicion that BfA is now being hastily concluded and development on further planned content has been halted. There are probably several reasons for this, but the end seems abrupt and unworthy with respect to some storylines. I would like to present that to you.
Battle for Azeroth was as unpopular as few other expansions
Even the biggest fan of the current content should realize that Battle for Azeroth probably won’t go down in memory as the most popular expansion. Numerous features drew criticism, the mechanics left players dissatisfied, and new systems like Island Expeditions or Warfronts seemed poorly thought out and were barely integrated into other systems.
Although the rosy glasses of nostalgia will still tint Battle for Azeroth a little, the expansion will likely end up in the collective memory somewhere alongside Warlords of Draenor with the conclusion: “Cool story while questing, afterwards it was rubbish”.
The developers probably noticed this quite early, so that even during the development of Patch 8.2 the emergency brake was pulled and only “the necessary” was done to conclude BfA.
The disappeared Thunder Bluff threat
During Patch 8.2, Baine Bloodhoof, the leader of the Tauren, was saved by the players. In the final cinematic, you see the city of Thunder Bluff in the background where Jaina, Thrall, Baine, and Mathias Shaw are talking. It was about the concern that Thunder Bluff would now be attacked by Sylvanas, as the Tauren are regarded as traitors. A basis was laid for an internal conflict in the Horde that could potentially have become a Warfront or a Dungeon.
“Thunder Bluff will burn … just like Teldrassil” – Oh no, not after all.
But that just fizzled out. There was no revenge from Sylvanas, there was no attack on Thunder Bluff. Aside from the legacy armor of the Tauren, nothing else happened in Thunder Bluff.
Based on the portrayal in the cinematic, it is clear to me that Blizzard had something planned here but then abandoned it.
Silvermoon turned out to be unimportant
As I have played Blood Elves for years, an announcement excited me back then. With the fall of Undercity, Silvermoon became the last remaining bastion of the Horde in the Eastern Kingdoms. At the previous BlizzCon, the question arose whether Silvermoon would not play a greater role. This was affirmed and since then I have been waiting for something to happen in that direction – but that was not the case.
Instead, the plot around the rebellion was advanced quite quickly, and Sylvanas was more or less overthrown as Warchief. Silvermoon was never touched or even mentioned during that time.
Especially for the portrayal of N’Zoth, I feel a bit sorry. I have been looking forward to encountering the Old God for years and had hoped that he would even get his own expansion. That he is now “snuffed out” in a single patch is quite a shame. The fact that there isn’t even a standalone area for this, but only “remakes” of already known zones, makes me sad.
For many years, the Black Empire and Ny’alotha were hinted at repeatedly, and my anticipation grew. That this now is solely a raid without a corresponding area—or even a whole continent—makes me dissatisfied.
Although the cinematic for the fight against N’Zoth is not yet known, data miners have already found that the Old God will indeed be defeated—in the same patch in which he truly appears.
For an enemy that has been built up over 10 years, this is quite a lame ending. I can only hope that N’Zoth has a long-term plan and does not really disappear from the scene.
Warfronts – The big feature with only 2 variants
Another indicator is the Warfronts. These were already announced as a major feature before the launch of Battle for Azeroth and were initially received with great anticipation. However, this quickly soured when it turned out that the Warfronts are rather monotonous PvE brawls, in which most of the time you just wait for enough resources to be gathered. Even the subsequently added heroic mode is not particularly challenging and requires only minimal additional coordination.
In the months of Battle for Azeroth data miners kept finding hints of future Warfronts. Among them were not only Silvermoon but also the Barrens—especially in the Barrens, there was already an error that played the music of the Warfront when you were there.
In the end, there were only 2 Warfronts – so exactly one was added after launch.
The schedule – Stretching content until Shadowlands
The last point may be a bit “conspiracy theory,” but I can’t shake the thought. It seems to me that Blizzard is pushing back Patch 8.3 far into the future to have enough content ready for the release of Shadowlands.
Patch 8.3 has been on the PTR for many weeks, and development is going well. By now, almost all raid bosses have been tested. Still, the patch will not be released until January 2020, and this, despite the patch having comparatively few new contents. While there is a big raid in Ny’alotha, there is relatively little “completely new” otherwise. Two areas are getting a “revamp” to represent N’Zoth’s visions.
At the same time, the birthday event is currently running in WoW, where you can experience additional XP, reputation, raids, and a special battleground. This event was originally intended to last only 2-3 weeks (like every birthday before), but has been extended to 2 months, until January 2020. So the birthday runs until the release of Patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth.
It seems to me that Blizzard wants to stretch the content now. This is not inherently a bad thing, but it reinforces my suspicion that they had actually planned more content.
Conclusion – Much will not find a good closure
All of this leads me to not shake the suspicion that Blizzard pulled the emergency brake quite quickly with Battle for Azeroth and buried some storylines to fully concentrate on Shadowlands.
I miss an appropriate area for the Black Empire. I miss some conflicts that were supposed to be represented through Warfronts. I miss resolutions for several plots that have just been deprived of their climax.
But I worry that Battle for Azeroth will end just as undignified as Warlords of Draenor, which tossed aside all character development and story with a rushed ending and led to a silly “peace-happiness-cake” conclusion that left many questions unanswered.
Perhaps burying Battle for Azeroth is the right decision from an economic point of view and also for many players to create a new, more enjoyable game world. But my expectations for N’Zoth and the resolution of some plots have been buried.
This morning, on the 13th of November, a new patch addressing some issues was released for The Division 2. It fixes, among other things, the constant message from the Dark Zone officer asking players to visit him.
What is currently happening in The Division 2? A few weeks ago, the major Title Update 6 was released for The Division 2, and agents are busy working on their new builds following some mechanic adjustments.
However, players have been plagued by several issues since then, and there have been visual curiosities. The patch was deployed to the servers this morning and is around 200MB in size.
Update finally addresses the Dark Zone message
Which issues does the patch address? The patch addresses, among other things, the constant notification from the Dark Zone quartermaster that has been bothering players for weeks.
Patch Notes in English
Removes the constant notification that new Dark Zone perks are available in the operations base, even though that is not the case.
Fixes an issue with the “flare” emote that sometimes caused flares to go haywire after the animation was interrupted.
Sometimes, broken and creepy faces of game characters appeared after cut-scenes; this has been fixed.
Revised the social menu, which did not function when entering an already existing group in a downed state.
There was an issue that sometimes prevented players from sharing gear mods; this has been addressed.
The right items should now always be displayed for donations in the projects.
A bug was removed that caused the game to crash when enemies spawned in the “Lincoln Memorial” mission on challenging difficulty in co-op.
Some owners of the Year-1 Pass did not have direct access to the Technician specialization after TU6; this has been patched.
How do the changes affect the game? The changes mostly involve minor bugs in the game, which can be annoying. In the case of the cut-scene face distortion, it can also be alarming.
In particular, the notification from the Dark Zone officer asking agents to visit him in the operations base created quite a stir among the agents.
The Division 2 is much more fun after Title Update 6
What else is there to report about Division 2? Players perceive the game more positively after TU6. The many build possibilities are well received and actively implemented.
A new short story reveals a fresh skin for the healer Mercy from Overwatch. It will soon be available to earn.
Update: The event is now live, and you can earn the skin. You have until December 2 to do so.
Original report: The developers of Overwatch have introduced a new skin for Mercy. However, it has received a “middling” response from fans. It seems as though the developers simply stopped working on the lower half of the skin. It is hard to explain why Mercy wears armor shoes but otherwise has a rather “casual” outfit as a doctor.
Where does the skin come from? Mercy’s new outfit appeared in a short story by Blizzard. The English Twitter account of Overwatch shared the short story ‘Valkyrie’, which provides some background on Mercy, Soldier: 76, Ana, and other characters. It mainly focuses on Mercy and her motivations for joining Overwatch and how she became who she is. At the very end of the story, the image of the new skin can be seen.

How to get the skin? The skin can now be earned in Overwatch. Players have until December 2 to achieve 9 victories in Overwatch to receive the skin. Simply win in 9 modes of your choice, and you will get the skin credited – with 3 victories, you’ll receive a profile picture, and with 6 victories, new spray logos.

What do the fans say? Most players are happy that Mercy is getting a new skin. However, there is also some criticism, especially regarding the shoes. The armored shoes do not match the rest of the skin and mar the appearance. It would be better if the entire outfit had a “casual” look, and that includes the feet.
The update 11.11 is here in Fortnite We show you in the German patch notes what has changed in the game.
What does the update bring? The update 11.11 brought some changes for the Battle Royale mode and new content for Save the World. The changes for Battle Royale were discovered by players and shared on reddit.
Official patch notes for the Battle Royale mode are not available from Epic Games this time again. We compile here what changes players noticed in the matches after the patch.
New Locker Search
What does this feature bring? Now you can make a quicker selection in the locker, as there is now a new search bar. You can enter the name of the item you are looking for in the search bar. Afterwards, the sought items will be displayed in the locker.
This feature helps players make a selection faster. Especially if you have a large locker, you don’t have to search as long.
Player Abudiak posted a picture on reddit where you can see the new locker feature:

Random socket slots are both a curse and a blessing in World of Warcraft. But Blizzard has a plan on how to fix this in the upcoming patch.
The system of “Titanforging” and “Warforging” is quite unpopular in World of Warcraft. Especially when upgrading results in a socket, as it completely throws items off balance and makes them extremely powerful. With Patch 8.3, Blizzard is attempting to fix the issue and grant players more freedom. We will reveal what exactly is changing.
What is the problem? When items are looted in WoW, they can randomly be upgraded. They either have a higher item level, additional tertiary stats (like lifesteal or avoidance), a socket slot, or a combination of several of these bonuses. In particular, socket slots are a problem here, as they can drastically increase the value of an item. For example, a player might prefer to use a ring with item level 415 if it has a socket instead of a ring with item level 440 that has no socket slot.
Titanforging has been a problem in the community for years.
What will change? In Patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth, players will have a way to farm socket slots. They can then simply add a socket slot to an item that previously had none if they wish. This gives players much more freedom in choosing their gear and allows them to use new equipment even if they weren’t lucky.
How to get the socket slot? For this, you need the item “Gouged Eye of N’Zoth”. This can be purchased from Furorion (Wrathion). The currency required is Corrupted Memento, and it costs a whopping 25,000 pieces. These can be obtained from the horrific visions, scenarios in Orgrimmar and Stormwind. Farming for this is likely to take a while since so far, only a few mementos can be earned in the visions. To give some key figures:
Completing the main mission grants 500 mementos.
Side missions give about 200 mementos.
Failing missions gives about 50 mementos.
Additionally, it seems that adding a socket gives an item a “Corruption Value” – just as it is the case with all other upgrades in Patch 8.3.
Please keep in mind that the costs may still change, as everything is currently happening on the PTR.
How is this received by players? Even though many players still wish that Blizzard would simply get rid of Titanforging altogether, they see these socket slots as a good solution. This allows players to specifically upgrade individual items and avoids frustration when a strong item can’t be used because it lacks a socket slot.
What do you think of this change? Is it good and sensible? Or just another annoying grind for the top players?
Kingdom Under Fire 2 will be the last new MMORPG to be released in 2019. The publisher invited various media representatives to a preview event. Our editor Alexander Leitsch was on site and took a closer look at the new MMORPG.
What is Kingdom Under Fire 2? The new game from Korean developer Blueside combines aspects of MMORPG and real-time strategy. You lead troops in massive battles, where you also fight alongside your character.
Your character has a class, can be leveled up, learn new skills, and collect equipment. There are quests and tasks in the open world, like in a classic MMORPG.
What was the event like? On Tuesday, November 5, 2019, the publisher Gameforge, which publishes Kingdom Under Fire 2 in the West, held an event. Here, the RTS-MMORPG could be played before its release.
How were the first steps in the game? The beginning of Kingdom Under Fire 2 resembles a classic MMORPG. I can choose from one of five classes and then design my character as I please.
The editor is detailed. While it doesn’t match Black Desert in terms of hairstyle or face selection, I have complete freedom with hair and eye colors.
After a small intro sequence, I start the tutorial with my first steps. I am immediately thrown into a battle for a fortress. I familiarize myself with the controls (WASD), learn my first attacks (left and right mouse buttons), and defeat the first enemies.
The first battles: The tutorial is solely focused on my character. I slash through hordes of enemies with two daggers and a bow and dutifully complete the first tasks. You’ll see the RTS content later.
A small boss fight awaits me, where I learn the dodge roll and the first combos. At the same time, a story is presented to me, which is quite simply structured:
What happens after the tutorial? Once in the open world, the game resembles an MMORPG even more, but in my opinion, a very simple one.
I level up with standard quests, which usually involve running to new quest givers and defeating enemies. There is no auto-run, but an arrow above my head always points in the direction I need to go.
The first city in Kingdom Under Fire 2
RTS and MMORPG mix works flawlessly
When can you command the first troops? After some easy quests, I then reach the first story instance, the “Tower of Moonlight,” after about 30 minutes and at level 4. This serves as a tutorial for commanding troops. From here on, Kingdom Under Fire 2 differs significantly from other MMORPGs.
The units add a new tactical feature to the game, which I really like from the get-go. The control of my troops is simple, also because there is a mode where they simply follow me.
However, I can also switch back and forth between the RTS view and my character using a hotkey. This provides a good overview of the battle and more strategic options.
This is what the RTS mode looks like
The mix of the two modes works surprisingly well in the first battles and makes you want more. You can command the units while also standing by their side in battle. A good feeling.
In Kingdom Under Fire 2, I should have access to 75 different types of troops. However, I can only deploy and command 3 at a time. Troops can be leveled up just like the player character and can also be improved with upgrade stones. New units will therefore need to be trained after acquisition.
However, from my first impressions, troops can only be used in the instanced content of the game and not in the open world. There are over 50 story missions for single players, as well as several raids for groups. These could become particularly interesting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaOjTfLALcQ
What do we know about raids? While I didn’t get a chance to test raids with multiple players during the test, we already know something about the size of the raids:
There are several raids for 4 players
There are 3 raids for 8 players, which are said to be very challenging.
A future raid for 16 players is planned, with a huge dragon waiting as the boss at the end.
In all raids, characters and 3 units per person can be used, and special loot awaits the players at the end.
Artwork of the dragon in the 16-player raid
These are the PvP contents
What else is there in KUF2? If you are not interested in large PvE battles, you can also resort to the PvP in Kingdom Under Fire 2. There are two arena modes:
1v1 only with your character
3v3 with your character and troops
I could not try either in the test. However, the 3v3 could be very interesting, especially regarding the various troops used.
What does the real money shop consist of? It is supposed to offer only cosmetic content, similar to Guild Wars 2 or Astellia. Upon a first look through the shop, I can confirm that there were no pay-to-win contents involved.
Additionally, there is a Cubic Shop where you can purchase with in-game currency. This shop contains XP buffs, enhancements for guilds, and comparable content. However, these cannot be traded with other players.
Artwork of the Dark Elven City
The mix convinces me, but not the pure MMORPG
What is my conclusion after an hour? After an hour of play, I have, of course, not seen all the content of the new MMORPG. But what I have seen leaves me with mixed feelings.
On the one hand, the larger battles were exciting, and commanding the troops was fun. I enjoyed playing RTS games in the past and am curious which units will be the most useful at which point.
On the other hand, the MMORPG elements of the game did not convince me in the first playtest. The character development is decent, but the battles and tasks in the open world were standard fare and not very varied – at least in the first hour.
In addition, the equipment is tied to RNG. You receive random attributes when upgrading, so you may have to reroll them multiple times to get the perfect values.
My hope: However, real highlights could be the later raids for multiple players. There, everyone can send three units into battle and you have to collaboratively develop a strategy to defeat the bosses.
This is where the mix of MMORPG and RTS could truly be utilized, as well as in the 3v3 in PvP. The shop and payment system seem fair, which also leaves me with a positive impression.
Diablo 4 is coming! Mein-MMO author Andreas Bertits has been waiting for this for so long, and it seems to be getting as dark as part 2 again. But there is one thing that slightly dampens his anticipation.
I am really looking forward to Diablo 4. However, there is one feature that gives me a bit of a stomachache, and I would like to explain why.
My Diablo Story
I remember well how I played Diablo 1 in the basement at my parents’ house with my buddies back in 1996. We had a sort of party room there, where I also had a lot of fun almost every weekend with my tabletop RPG sessions.
We set up tables and chairs, networked our PCs, and about two hours later, when the network finally worked, we dived into the dark adventures of Blizzard’s hack ‘n slash, defeated the Butcher, and continued to fight our way deeper into the dungeons beneath Tristram.
When Diablo 2 followed in 2000, I had already been married for a few weeks. My wife and I played the action RPG together and met many new friends through Battle.net. We had a lot of fun in co-op.
Surprisingly, both of us only enjoyed Diablo 3 when my wife and I got a PlayStation 4 in 2014 and played the hack ‘n slash together on the TV. But we enjoyed the hours of cooperative “hack ‘n slash” action even so.

With this story, I want to show that, for me, Diablo has always fundamentally been one thing: a co-op RPG. Of course, I played all the parts alone for a while, but I always had real fun only cooperatively. And this is exactly where my concern lies with Diablo 4.
When Diablo 4 was announced, I sat in awe in front of the monitor. It’s supposed to be as dark as part 2 and what has been shown looks simply fantastic. Diablo 4 is still Diablo. That’s a good thing. The world is supposed to be huge and open. There are no acts anymore, and I can explore everything freely. Exactly what I have always wished for.
But then came the blow that slightly dampened my anticipation: the shared world. Don’t get me wrong. I really enjoy playing MMORPGs like The Elder Scrolls Online, but Diablo is just not an MMORPG for me. In my opinion, it’s a co-op RPG.

Diablo takes place in a threatening world. Danger lurks around every corner. I would even go so far as to say that horror plays an important role. In the dilapidated ruins and the dark dungeons, a creepy atmosphere already sets in. I remember jumping in my seat when I first encountered the Butcher in Diablo 1.
However, when I now see how strangely many players often act in MMORPGs… they jump around, attack my enemies unprovoked, drag a mob behind them, and make silly faces… That’s somewhat part of an MMORPG. But in Diablo, in my opinion, there is no place for that.
I don’t want to crowd around a vendor in a town with a hundred other players, read strange names, or encounter a fellow player in a creepy swamp who spoils the game for me by saying that a big monster is lurking further ahead.
When I then hear that Diablo 4 will have microtransactions and cosmetic items, I imagine Amazons in colorful bunny costumes or the Barbarian in a bright green tutu. I don’t need that in Diablo 4. Such things ruin the dark atmosphere. Of course, a shared world can also be fun, so I’m not saying Blizzard should abolish or leave it out. But an optional co-op mode without other players and perhaps an offline mode would be great.
Then I could play Diablo 4 the way I did with the other three parts. As a co-op RPG and not as an MMORPG because I have other games for that.
In Destiny 2 there are several mods for your armor that enhance your performance against Hive enemies – exactly what you need for many Shadowkeep activities. These are primarily obtained from the raid. However, there is also a source from which you can easily get the mods without raids.
What are these mods? The Hive mods help you deal better with Hive opponents. There are a total of four of these mods:
Hive Revitalization – Refreshes the grenade after a Hive shield is destroyed
Hive Barrier – 20% damage reduction for 10 seconds after taking damage from the Hive
Hive Empowerment – Defeating a powerful Hive enemy refreshes your class ability
Hive Equipment – Killing a Hive enemy with a grenade grants heavy ammo
Hive Mods
farming in the Menagerie
Where can I find these mods? Although the “Crown of Sorrow” is listed as a source, you can also get the mods from other sources. If you don’t want to battle through the “Crown of Sorrow” for the mods, you can also easily farm them in the Menagerie. The normal mode will suffice, where you are placed in a 6-player team with random guardians – even though a visit in heroic mode can definitely be worthwhile.
Per week you have three chances with each guardian to get a Hive mod (reset is on Tuesdays). According to YouTuber Jarv, the first attempt is guaranteed to drop a mod for you.
How do I use the mods? To use the mods, you need opulent armor with Armor 2.0. Even if you already own opulent armor, you will need to farm it again.
Some of the old Warlock armor pieces from the Menagerie.
The advantage is that this armor can also drop in the Menagerie. You can even farm it there specifically, effectively killing two birds with one stone.
What do these mods do? The mods enhance your performance in combat against the Hive, which is advantageous in almost all activities in Shadowkeep. For example, the enemies on the moon are Hive enemies and even drop really good loot when you take down their minibosses.
Also, the new dungeon “Grube der Ketzerei” consists of Hive enemies where the mods work effectively. The effects, such as revitalization and equipment, complement each other perfectly. Barrier is especially useful for players who want to attempt the dungeon solo:
For the 15th anniversary of Monster Hunter, two figures were released. A golden Rathian made of gold and a silver Rathalos made of platinum. They are available for just slightly over €73,000.
With Monster Hunter World and its expansion Iceborne, the latest game in the Monster Hunter franchise is running. The series has been around for 15 years, and for the anniversary, a lot of merchandise has been announced for the Japanese market. This includes two incredibly expensive dragon statues.
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne – the latest installment of the franchise
Merchandise at a Premium Price
These are the figures: Currently, two figures are available in a Japanese online store for the anniversary of Monster Hunter. One is a statue of the golden Rathian made of gold and the other is of the silver Rathalos made of platinum.
Here’s what the dragons cost: You can acquire these for the modest price of 8,800,000 ¥ each. Converted, that’s slightly over €73,000 – what a bargain, right?
Here are the key data of the Golden Rathian:
Material: 24 karat gold
Height: approx. 7.5cm
Width and length: approx. 15.5cm x 11cm
Weight: 600g
This is how the Silver Rathalos presents itself:
Material: platinum
Height: approx. 15cm
Width and length: approx. 15cm x 7.5cm
Weight: approx. 840g
The figures are of course not delivered in plastic packaging. They come in a high-quality glass case – stylishly. You can also buy both in a bundle, saving you a few bucks.
Can you also get the figures in Germany? Unfortunately, both dragon statues are intended only for the Japanese market. So if you want to spend your money, you have to come up with something.
If you prefer to defeat monsters rather than collect them, you can find all of them with their loot in the list here:
Update 0.161.0 in Pokémon GO is here and data miners have been diligently searching through the files. Among other things, matchmaking and new event Pokémon were found.
What does the update bring? For the first time in a long time, Niantic has itself revealed what the update includes. They mainly focus on bug fixes.
However, data miners continued to search and found interesting details that are likely to come to Pokémon GO soon.
What’s in Update 0.161.0
What does Niantic reveal? The developers themselves provide an insight into their update. However, mainly bugs that have been fixed are addressed. This includes some issues with the new Rocket bosses:
Players can no longer receive rewards after Rocket battles if their bag is full. This also includes the components for the Rocket Radar.
Fixes for connectivity issues with the Pokémon GO Plus.
The GO Plus icon and the Rocket Radar icon no longer overlap.
Dialogues and music for the Rocket bosses have been adjusted.
All other fixes that Niantic has announced can be found on their blog.
Data miners find further details in the update
Despite the patch notes released by Niantic, there are still additional details that have not been disclosed. Data miners have made interesting findings in the update.
Some of these details were found two months ago but were removed again. Now the files are back with further information.
There should also be limited Pokémon as rewards for winning battles. Other rewards like PokéCoins have also been discovered.
It seems that players will soon be able to set custom rules in PvP. This way, opponents would have to play by the players’ rules.
In this context, additional details about the battle seeker (eng. VS-Seeker) have also been found. This is likely related to the PvP league.
Are new event Pokémon coming soon? In addition to the news about matchmaking, new event Pokémon have been found. They have the suffix “2019” and are likely intended for the end of the year. The following Pokémon are affected:
Pikachu
Venusaur
Charizard
Blastoise
It’s quite conceivable that there will be a new event with special costumed Pokémon at the end of the year. For example, there was Pikachu with a Christmas hat at Christmas 2018.
What else was found? In addition to the previously mentioned content, the classic quest for the Community Day was found again. This time, players must catch a certain number of Panflam to complete the quest.
Additionally, new medals were found that are related to trainer battles.
What you need to keep in mind: The findings from the data miners should initially be viewed with skepticism. Niantic does not have to implement them or may do so later. The patch notes from Niantic itself can certainly be seen for this update.
They will be released in the coming days with the update. This is currently being rolled out.
In World of Warcraft many new mounts will be added with Patch 8.3 soon. We will show you the highlights of them.
Currently, the Patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth is being tested on the PTR of World of Warcraft. New versions of the patch are being deployed regularly, and new rewards and content are being added. Among the most important rewards are, of course, the mounts that players can use to ride or fly through the history of the world. The colleagues from wowhead have already found many mounts in the game files, and we would like to briefly introduce the most interesting ones.
Click on the images to enlarge them.
Uncorrupted Voidwing: This dragon belongs to the “Swarm of the Void” and is likely only for raid players. It is the reward for the “Ahead of the Curve” achievement in Ny’alotha. This means that players must defeat the final boss in Ny’alotha on “Heroic” difficulty or higher before the “Shadowlands” expansion starts.
Black Serpent of N’Zoth: This rather disgusting worm is a servant of N’Zoth and can be earned in Stormsong Valley. However, how exactly to obtain it is not yet clear.
Ny’alotha Allseer: This jellyfish with many eyes is the mount that can drop from N’Zoth on mythic difficulty. As usual, the drop chance will start at 100% and will be drastically reduced later when the next expansion is released. It is thereby ranked among the rarity of mounts like “Invincible” or “Ashes of A’lar.”
Ivory Cloud Serpent: This cloud serpent can be found in the Valley of Eternal Blossoms while N’Zoth transforms this area with its visions. A rare mob with the same appearance will likely leave this mount behind.
Reins of the Drake of the Four Winds: This dragon is reminiscent of the numerous mounts that players could obtain in Cataclysm. It is also the drop from a rare enemy that you can find in Uldum as long as N’Zoth is attacking this area.
Mail Muncher: This worm also serves N’Zoth and is responsible for ensuring that important mail never reaches its recipient. You can earn it in the Horrific Visions.
Obedient Drone: This mix of bee and Aqir looks quite sinister and can also be found in Uldum.
Mollie: Alpaca fans will get their money’s worth in Patch 8.3, as several of these mounts are being added. One can be obtained from Kraulok, the well-known world boss from Vol’dun. However, since the bosses rotate weekly, it might take a while before you get to see Mollie.
What do you think of these new mounts? Are they cool and interesting? Or just boring variations of existing models?
Stamina: Base stamina has been increased by 66% and stamina regeneration rate by 75%. Additionally, the stamina consumed while sliding has been reduced by 50%.
Camera Adjustment: The camera can now be set to aim over your character’s other shoulder
New Missions: Two new tasks have been introduced where you are to prevent the spread of a virus
Balancing and Bugs: There are a number of adjustments to balancing and bugs have been fixed.
A good update, but…
What is the most important thing? The stamina system has been criticized since the beginning. Every action in the game consumes stamina quickly, which has frustrated many players.
How are players reacting to the update? The community is pleased with the update and the many changes and adjustments. Especially the new stamina system is well received.
itahedge83 says on Reddit: “Thanks for the update. Keep it up, because we need more of this type of communication.”
destinyplayer1 writes: “A lot of stuff in the patch. Good job!”
Dark_Chris_6 agrees: “That’s a lot of fixes. Good job. Don’t forget that the next update is already planned for the end of the month.”

Is there also criticism? With the update, Ubisoft has taken the first of many steps to improve Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. The initial changes have been fairly well received. However, the task is simply much larger, which naturally brings criticism. Therefore, there are several things that players already wished for this update.
Bugs are still present. For instance, the vests do not display the correct number of magazine pouches for the respective weapons and binoculars can simply disappear.
Some players still slide down any slope just like that.
The game still crashes sporadically.
There are still graphical errors.
While there are new missions, the content is still too thin for some.
The thermal imaging does not work correctly.
Therefore, there are of course players who complain:
Rawkus18 writes: “Good job fixing so many bugs that shouldn’t have been in the game at release.”
Ubisoft is working on Ghost Recon: Breakpoint and as you can see, the updates bring improvements. However, it will still take longer until the online shooter is in a state it should have been at release.
With Endless Conquest, the Free2Play version of the cult MMORPG Dark Age of Camelot (DAoC) has launched. With some limitations, you can now dive into the mass battles for free.But is it still worth it?
What is Endless Conquest? The Free2Play version of Dark Age of Camelot allows you to enter the MMORPG for free. Until now, playing was only possible through a subscription. Now you download the game, create an account, and just join – without having to pay anything.
Free2Play with Limitations
What does the Free2Play version offer? You can level up to level 50, which is the current maximum level in the MMORPG. Furthermore, you can participate regularly like everyone else in the Realm-vs-Realm battles. To do this, you join one of three factions:
Albion, which is themed around the old England of the Arthurian legend
Hibernia, based on Irish mythology
Midgard, a realm built around Scandinavian mythology

What can you not do in the free version? There are some limitations that can only be lifted by completing a subscription. These include:
The choice of race and class is restricted
You cannot acquire your own house

What is Dark Age of Camelot anyway? The MMORPG was released in 2001 and focuses on PvP battles between three factions. PvE takes a back seat here and basically serves only to level up the character quickly.
Is DAoC worth it today? The MMORPG has become visually quite outdated. After all, it is even older than World of Warcraft. Nevertheless, it offers one of the most exciting PvP experiences in the genre. Especially the combat between three factions makes the battles so interesting. The game has a not too large but solid player base.
Moreover, several veterans have already announced that they want to return to the MMORPG with the Free2Play version. So you should always find enough players.
If you are not deterred by the graphics and love PvP, you should check out Dark Age of Camelot – after all, it is now free.
We will tell you why SMGs in Destiny 2: Shadowkeep are the most powerful PvE primary weapons. With these builds and tips, you will sweep through the enemy hordes.
What makes SMGs special: In Destiny 2, submachine guns (SMGs) are primary weapons designed for close combat. They can be compared to automatic rifles.
Like rifles, they also shoot automatically by default, but generally have a bit less range and a smaller magazine. SMGs typically have a very high rate of fire and good handling. They deal a lot of damage in a short amount of time.
The Powerful Artifact
That’s why SMGs are so strong: The reason for the outstanding strength of submachine guns lies in the current season of Destiny 2. In Season 8 (Season of the Undying), players can access the artifact ‘Eye of the Tor- Lords’.
This is the seasonal artifact. In addition to a theoretically infinitely high level bonus, this powerful item grants access to the so-called artifact mods.
Since Armor 2.0, you have up to 10 points available on armor that you can spend on mods. Each mod has specific costs, which we have listed in parentheses. Weapon mods are based on the artifact.
Currently, SMGs particularly benefit from these mods:
Anti-Barrier Rounds – Grants SMGs and automatic rifles shield- and barrier-breaking ammunition (weapon mod).
Overload Rounds – Grants SMGs and automatic rifles disruption ammunition and reduces enemy damage (weapon mod).
Enhanced Submachine Gun Loader – Significantly increases the reload speed of SMGs (Cost 1).
Breakthrough Lens – Grants grenade energy on kills with shield-breaking weapons. You do not need to defeat a shielded enemy; every kill counts (Cost 3).
Ballistic Combo – Grants melee energy on kills with shield-breaking weapons. You do not need to defeat a shielded enemy; every kill counts (Cost 3).
Disruptor Tip – Improves the effectiveness of ‘Disrupt’ and reduces enemy damage more drastically (Cost 3).
SMGs are the winners in Season 8
These are the 5 strongest SMGs: In Shadowkeep, the weapon balance has been significantly shaken up. Some powerful weapon perks and abilities have been significantly weakened. Snipers have been buffed and are currently the best special weapon in the sandbox. What fits better with a distance weapon than a close-combat monster like an SMG?
These legendary submachine guns stand out particularly:
The Recluse – This top weapon dominates in both PvP and PvE. If you score a kill with any weapon, the damage of the Recluse noticeably increases. Additionally, you reload faster after kills. Everything except bosses melts away under the hail of bullets.
Escape Plan – With this kinetic SMG, you thrive in close quarters. If you are surrounded, the weapon has better handling, reload speed, and higher stability. Additionally, you can choose between the strong perks ‘Duelist’ and ‘Surrounded’. This ritual weapon is earned through a Gambit quest.
Hypothetical – The SMG is basically the energy counterpart to ‘Escape Plan’. With some loot luck, the weapon even comes with the same perks. ‘Hypothetical’ can be farmed specifically in the Vex Offensive.
Quality from the Vagabond – Escape Plan
Even if exotic weapons do not benefit from the useful artifact mods, we would like to recommend two excellent exotic SMGs:
Risky – The electrifying SMG protects you from Arc damage and mows down entire enemy hordes thanks to chain lightning. Ammo is generated automatically as well. If you have always wanted to feel like Thor or Zeus, this is your chance.
The Huckleberry – This sleek kinetic weapon gets stronger with kills, fires faster, and reloads continually. The Huckleberry has even made it into our Top 5 Exotics of Shadowkeep.
Try these SMG builds: Not only do submachine guns benefit greatly from the seasonal artifact. Your Guardians themselves also have access to extremely powerful artifact mods in the current season. Some harmonize particularly well with the playstyle of SMGs:
Thundercoil – Grants bonus damage for all Arc melee abilities and refunds Super energy for finisher kills (Cost: 6). With an SMG in hand, you are practically always in melee range. Thanks to ‘Ballistic Combo’, your melee ability is always charged.
Crushing Darkness: Damage from Void grenades inflicts a weakening effect on enemies (Cost: 6). You gain grenade energy very quickly thanks to ‘Breakthrough Lens’. Your opponents are thus continuously weakened.
Titans equip exotic armor Touch of the Worm God or Synthoceps to be even stronger in melee. Both the upper Void and lower Arc focus fit perfectly to the build.
As an Arc Hunter, you can become a similarly strong melee fighter with the exotic gloves Liar’s Handshake.
Warlocks who want to face their opponents up close equip Winter’s Call. The grenade-SMG combo benefits especially the lower Void Warlock with Nazareth’s Sin and ‘Recluse’. In no time, you have weakening grenades and heal completely with every kill.
Check out Houndish’s YouTube video to see how powerful SMG builds are:

In a few days, Season 19 in Diablo 3 will begin. The team has now released the important Patch 2.6.7, which brings a lot of new content. In the patch notes, we show you what the update contains.
What kind of patch is this? In recent days, the update 2.6.7 could already be played on the test servers of Diablo 3. Now it has been activated on the live servers and is available for you to download. With this patch, you will play the upcoming Season 19 in Diablo 3.
What makes the patch special? The update brings some buffs to make additional playstyles in the meta interesting. Additionally, two classes each receive a new set. This variety is welcomed by the players.
Nerfs to the Whirlwind Barbarian are not well received. We show you in the patch notes what exactly changes.
General Changes for Season 19 in D3
A change that affects all players involves the stones for Greater Nephalem Rifts. These are now part of the “Vacuum pick-up” – they will be automatically collected.
The new season theme: The theme for Season 19 is Pandemonium. This buff is intended to be helpful throughout your entire time in the new season. It revolves around killstreaks. At regular intervals, killstreaks provide certain bonuses. You decide when it is worth it to break a streak to take the bonus.
Each stack of Pandemonium grants 0.005 movement speed and 0.001% additional damage. The maximum is reached at 1,000 stacks with 50% movement speed and 100% more damage.
Additionally, killstreaks reward you with these effects:
15 kills: Exploding chickens seek and destroy
30 kills: A large Frost Nova freezes enemies
50 kills: It rains corpses from the sky
100 kills: Five massive energy vortices are unleashed
150 kills: Dark geysers appear among the enemies
200 kills: Treasure chests fall from the sky
300 kills: A ring of fire surrounds everything
400 kills: Meteors fall from the sky
500 kills: Angels descend onto the battlefields to fight by your side
1000 kills: Still a secret
Players who purchased a Virtual Ticket for BlizzCon will now receive the cosmetic wings of Lilith’s Embrace. Valid for PC only.
Start of Season 19: A specific start time for Season 19 in Diablo 3 is still unclear. This Friday (11/15), it will not begin. Blizzard confirmed this in the forums (via Blizzard Forum).
Patch Notes for 2.6.7 – New Sets for Monk and Crusader
Here we summarize the most important changes of Patch 2.6.7 in D3.
Monk Set – Patterns of Justice
The 2-piece set bonus gives this set the effect of every rune to the skill Dashing Strike and increases movement speed by 5% per stack.
The 4-piece set bonus enhances the ability Tempest Rush, reducing the damage you take by 50% after using the skill and increasing spirit regeneration by 50.
The 6-piece set bonus amplifies a combo of the 2-piece and 4-piece bonuses. Hitting enemies with Tempest Rush while Dashing Strike is active will make the range of Dashing Strike 30 times larger for a short period. The damage of Dashing Strike is increased by 15,000%.
Source: Battle.net – Fan Art
Crusader Set – Aegis of Valor
The 2-piece set bonus causes the use of Heaven’s Fury to be enhanced. Thus, Heaven’s Fury will inflict 100% more damage for 5 seconds. This can stack 3 times.
The 4-piece set bonus generates 5 Wrath and reduces damage taken by 1% for 5 seconds with hits from Heaven’s Fury. It can stack 50 times.
The 6-piece set bonus increases the damage dealt by Heaven’s Fury and Heaven’s Strike by 20,000%.
Item Changes in Patch 2.6.7
What changes to the various weapons and armors in the new patch, we show you here.
Darklight – Heaven’s Fury has a 100% chance to be cast twice. Previously 45-60% chance
Additional Legendary Power – Increases the damage of Heaven’s Fury by 800-1000%
Vengeful Wind – Increases the maximum stacks of Dashing Strike by 10. Previously 6-7 stacks
Additional Legendary Power: Increases the damage of Dashing Strike by 600-800%.
Won Khim Lau – Hits with Tempest Rush trigger Cyclone Strike. Both abilities deal 500-600% more damage.
Chantodo Set – The scaling bonus of attack speed from Wave of Destruction has been reduced.
The Fortnite streamer Luke “MrDeadMoth” Munday sparked a global discussion in December 2018. He hit his pregnant wife live on Twitch while streaming Fortnite. He was charged for this. Now the trial has come to an end.
This is what happened back then: The streamer was playing Fortnite when his pregnant wife repeatedly tried to get his attention. But the streamer kept putting her off – both became increasingly loud and heated.
Ultimately, they both argued loudly. The dispute was visible live on Twitch for viewers.
In the heat of the argument, Munday jumped up and was no longer visible on screen – one could hear a blow. The wife began to cry. His children were present during the situation, and they could also be heard crying.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysp62BQe91c
Here you can see the whole situation again in the video.
This is the current situation: After almost a year, the trial is over, and the presiding judge has pronounced the verdict.
Not only Munday himself but also his wife were sentenced.
Streamer shows remorse
This is the verdict: As Dexerto reports, Munday must now perform community service for 14 months. The judge did not sentence Munday to prison because the defendant showed great insight.
Through his lawyer, Munday stated that he is a “loving, caring person without a history of domestic violence.” According to his statement, he acted in “excessive self-defense.” Munday himself had been subjected to domestic violence.
Munday also told the court that he is remorseful and will provide housing for his former partner and the children.
This is how the woman is punished: Not only Munday himself is receiving a punishment. His wife will also be punished for attacking her then-partner and hitting him with a kettle. This resulted in Munday sustaining minor injuries.
She was granted bail. She now has to report regularly to the police in her area.
What happens next with the streamer? After the streamer returned to Twitch for a few hours following his outburst he now has a lifetime ban on the streaming platform. So Munday will likely not be seen on Twitch again.
But there are also nice reports about streamers. For example, a 14-year-old cried because he did something particularly good:
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare offers players hardcore action with even tougher characters. A leak now seemingly reveals the faces of 13 planned operators for the Multiplayer of Modern Warfare.
What are Operators in CoD? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is not only known for its action-packed multiplayer mode. The game also aims to tell a story and be remembered for it.
The somewhat controversial campaign provides a good foundation for this. However, most play hours go into the multiplayer, and here, players are expected to identify with their characters as much as possible.
Farah is part of the leaked operator line-up.
Operators are purely cosmetic content
Since the CoD multiplayer does not contain a character editor, identification with the in-game characters in Modern Warfare happens through the operators. These are predefined characters that you can control in the multiplayer, each with their own typically exaggerated backstory – but without any special abilities.
A leak now reveals 13 faces of operators that will likely find their way into the game in the future.
Leak reveals faces and names of 13 additional operators
What does the leak show us? The leak shows 13 new operators and therefore playable characters for the multiplayer. In the photo, you can admire the battle-hardened faces of the planned soldier skins.
The names of the characters are also known, starting with the name of the lovely lady in the top left and continuing to the right. The row below starts again on the left.

How the operators will be implemented in the game remains completely unclear for now. The leak, however, also continues to indicate a full content pipeline for the rest of the year, similar to the big map leak some time ago.
The operators have no direct influence on gameplay.
Unclear how the operators will be introduced
How do I get the new operators? How the operators are obtained is also unknown. Current operators can already be unlocked in several ways.
Co-op & campaign missions
Challenges in multiplayer
The new operators might also come with similar requirements. The battle pass in December could also include some of the skins. The following sources could, for instance, unlock operators:
New battle pass
Additional missions
Co-op or campaign
Limited-time special challenges
Special events
CoD is accelerating. Leaks show a lot of new maps, weapons, and now also operators.
Skins may be exclusively available
Could the skins be “timed exclusives”? Since the operators only have cosmetic effects, the developers could offer the skins exclusively and only make them available for a limited time for players.
However, it remains to be seen how the new characters will ultimately find their way into the game – as long as the cosmetics with the unlocks work properly, unlike the officer rank challenges.
What do you think about the new operators? Have you already discovered your favorite?
Finally, the secret Triumph “Spider Vision” can be earned in Destiny 2 during the Festival of the Lost. Many Guardians have already claimed it. But what exactly one must do to achieve this success is still a mystery.
One of the total 11 event Triumphs was previously secret and the focus of numerous speculations. It was known that this had to do with a spider in the players’ line of sight. There were many theories on how to get to see the spider. Some revolved around the new Dungeon Shattered Throne, others generally about the Moon. But all of them have now turned out to be wrong.
Can the Triumph now be earned? Yes, the Triumph can now be earned – since the weekly reset on November 12. If you are lucky, a shadowy spider will descend into your line of sight when you use the sights on a weapon. You can see what this looks like in the video from the YouTuber anima mea:
https://youtu.be/oB0V5H3pQow
However, even though many Guardians hoped for something special regarding this Triumph (after all, nothing specific is listed in the Season 8 roadmap for this week), it seems that this Triumph was simply hidden behind a time gate.
There is neither a special quest, nor does anything exciting happen when the Triumph is finally earned. Nevertheless, the Spider Vision currently provides plenty of material for discussion.
What exactly must one do for Spider Vision? Exactly that is not known. Even the official description, which states “Discover a spider in your sights,” doesn’t reveal much. Many Guardians have already achieved the secret success “Spider Vision,” but a precise pattern for obtaining this Triumph has yet to be discerned.
The most common theory among Guardians stated that one must first buy the consumable “Festival Gift” from Eva Levante for 100 candies. Then, one should go to the Haunted Forest, consume the item there, and then aim through the sights of a weapon for some time. Then, one should receive the Triumph.
However, this method apparently does not work for all players. Additionally, there are numerous reports that Guardians have also unlocked the Triumph in completely different ways.
Many players report that they didn’t need the consumable item at all or that only one member of the fireteam activated it. Others state that the spider was also seen in other activities like Strikes, Gambit, Crucible, or in the Vex Offensive .
In summary: What exactly one must do for this is currently not really known. It appears that 3 factors are mainly decisive for receiving the Triumph:
The time gate (has now been overcome)
You must aim through the sight of a weapon
The RNG, or random chance, must be favorable to you
Missing the Triumph? Try the following: Basically, it is currently advised to simply play various activities in Destiny 2 while using the sights on your weapons.
However, a large part of the positive results or reports so far have come from the Haunted Forest or the Vex Offensives. If you want the Triumph, then you should focus more on these activities. You should also use the consumable “Festival Gift” just to be safe. Then it’s just a matter of playing and waiting. After some time (or just a few seconds), the Triumph should also be unlocked for you.
Have you discovered a reliable method for unlocking the secret Triumph “Spider Vision”? Or did you also achieve this success purely by chance, or are you still waiting for it? Let us know in the comments.
Tonight, on November 13, a Raid Hour will start in Pokémon GO. This time it is all about Cobalion. We will tell you everything about counters, time, and usability.
What is a Raid Hour? This event takes place regularly on Wednesday evenings. You can find legendary raids at almost all gyms for one hour.
Tonight, it is all about the current legendary Pokémon Cobalion. You will see it appear more frequently, and you can secure good specimens.
Raid Hour Tonight – All Info
When does the Raid Hour start? The event starts at 6 PM. 20 minutes earlier, a black egg will appear at all gyms where no raids are ongoing. If a raid is still active shortly before 7 PM, another raid will appear there as well.
Gyms that have recently distributed EX raid invitations are excluded. There are no raids here.
What do you use against Cobalion? The legendary Pokémon is of Fighting and Steel type, so you should use Pokémon of the Fire, Fighting, and Ground types. The best counters are Chandelure and Infernape.
In our Counter Guide to Cobalion, we show you a longer list of the best opponents for the legendary Pokémon.
How many people do you need? Cobalion can be defeated relatively easily with three players. Level 30 is sufficient for this.
However, you should have 5-6 players during the Raid Hour, so that you can defeat the raids quickly enough to complete more raids.
How strong will Cobalion be? The legendary Pokémon is not really interesting for the meta of Pokémon GO. Weak moves and a low attack value are the reasons for this.
However, if you want good items like Rare Candies or TMs, you should not skip the Raid Hour.
