With Fractured, a new and interesting MMORPG awaits you. The Alpha 2 will start soon, bringing new features.
What is Fractured? It is a sandbox MMORPG set on three planets. You initially choose which of the three worlds you want to play in. This will determine not only your race but also whether the game is more PvE or PvP focused.
You will then start gathering resources to craft equipment. Additionally, you should quickly build a shelter. The housing system is an important part of the game. Join forces with other players or fight against them, depending on which world you are in. It is even said to be possible to travel between the worlds.
The MMORPG is progressing well
How far along is the game? Fractured has completed its first alpha phase. During this phase, it was possible to explore the world, gather resources, build a house, and fight against monsters.
With the new Alpha 2, you can now try out the hero improvement system, learn over 40 skills, and fight against 23 monsters. Additionally, the team is adding new play areas.
When does the Alpha start? The new test phase begins on November 20 and is expected to last about two weeks.
How can you participate? Anyone who chose at least the “Patron” level during the Kickstarter campaign is automatically included. All others can buy a founder’s package on the website. The Legend package for 89.99 euros grants you access to Alpha 2.
What is special about the game?Fractured uses the Spatial-OS system to manage the three huge worlds. These three worlds are meant to set the game apart from other MMORPGs. For you determine, by choosing your planet, how much PvP or PvE you want in your game.

What happens after Alpha 2? A second test in Alpha 2 is scheduled for the first quarter of 2020. It is also anticipated that the beta will start in the coming year. However, the release of the game is not planned before 2021.
Who is Fractured for? The game is aimed at anyone who enjoys sandbox MMORPGs. It is not about quests and story, although you will learn much about the history of the three worlds during expeditions. Fractured aims to allow you to carve your own path and provide you with as much freedom as possible.
To get in the mood for Set 2, Riot Games hosted a Teamfight Tactics Invitational, where well-known personalities and Twitch streamers were invited. We present to you the three combos that the winner used in the tournament: the best and strongest new combos in LoL Auto Chess.
What was the tournament like? The TFT Rise of the Elements Invitational was a tournament featuring 16 players competing for a prize pool of nearly $150,000.
You can watch the recording of the event on YouTube.
Keane from TSM at the Invitational
Who won the tournament? The winner of the first TFT Invitational was Jang “Keane” Lae-young. The 26-year-old Korean actively played as a mid-laner for the LoL team FlyQuest in North America until November 2018.
He now belongs to the TFT team of SoloMid and played at a high level for a long time during the first season, finishing “only” with Diamond 1.
At the Invitational, however, he showcased his strength, achieving first place three times in a row in the finals. We present to you the champion combos that helped Keane succeed.
What is this combo? In the first four matches of the finals, Keane did not achieve a victory. In matches 3 and 4, he tried out several combos but returned to an old strategy in match 5.
In the preliminary round, he already used almost all summoner and shadow champions. This was also the case in match 5. He ended up facing Rakin in a 1v1, who was using a combo of 6 light champions. In the fight of light vs. shadow, shadow triumphed impressively.
These champions were used:
Sion – Shadow/Berserker
Master Yi – Shadow/Blade Master/Mystic
Malzahar – Shadow/Summoner
Lux – Avatar/Shadow x2
Zed – Blitz/Summoner/Assassin
Kah’Zix – Desert/Assassin
Yorick – Lich/Summoner
Janna – Cloud/Mystic
Keane’s first victory – via LoLChess – Lux has the wrong origin in the picture
These are the bonuses of the combo:
4x Shadow
1x Avatar
3x Summoner
2x Mystic
These items were used:
Malzahar – Spear of Shojin, Guinsoo’s Rageblade
Lux – Morellonomicon, Zeke’s Herald
Zed – Warmog’s Armor, Repeating Crossbow
Sion – Gloves of the Iceborn
Master Yi – Frost Hammer
Variations of the combo: In the preliminary round, Keane played a similar build but did not have Lux with the shadow attribute. Instead, he relied on:
Sion – Shadow/Berserker
Master Yi – Shadow/Blade Master/Mystic
Malzahar – Shadow/Summoner
Yorick – Lich/Summoner
Azir – Desert/Summoner
Qiyana – Ocean/Assassin
Nami – Ocean/Mystic
Aatrox – Light/Blade Master
Kindred – Inferno/Shadow/Archer
Combo 2 – Blitz, Summoner, Shadow, Guardian
What is this combo? Keane won match 6 with a slightly different build. He relied on 4 Blitz champions, and only marginally on summoner and shadow.
With these champs and an interesting combination of items, Keane secured victory in Teamfight Tactics Set 2.
These champions were used:
Lux – Avatar/Blitz x2
Zed – Blitz/Assassin/Summoner
Ornn – Blitz/Guardian
Taric – Crystal/Guardian
Azir – Desert/Summoner
Yorick – Light/Summoner
Malzahar – Shadow/Summoner
Sion – Shadow/Berserker
Keane’s Combo 2 – via LoLChess – Lux has the wrong origin in the picture
What is this combo? The third build with which Keane won in the finals was a mix of many different attributes. Again, he utilized shadow and summoner.
His item build with 3x Zeke’s Herald on Azir was employed again.
These champions were used:
Lux – Avatar/Blitz x2
Zed – Blitz/Assassin/Summoner
Azir – Desert/Summoner
Malzahar – Shadow/Summoner
Yorick – Light/Summoner
Kindred – Inferno/Shadow/Archer
Kha’Zix – Desert/Assassin
Qiyana – Cloud/Assassin
Janna – Cloud/Mystic
With this build, Keane won the last duel in the finals – via LoLChess
These are the bonuses of the combo:
1x Avatar
3x Blitz
3x Summoner
3x Assassin
2x Desert
2x Shadow
These items were used:
Azir – 3x Zeke’s Herald
Zed – Zephyr
Yorick – Warden’s Armor
Lux – Guinsoo’s Rageblade
Kha’Zix – Seraph’s Embrace, Rapid Firecannon
Qiyana – Runaan’s Hurricane, Swordbreaker
Yorick, a frequently used champion
Keane relies heavily on Shadow and Summoner
What stands out in the combos? In his builds, Keane primarily relies on shadow and summoner. Malzahar and Yorick are present on the board in 5 of his 6 victories at the Invitational. He also played at least 2 shadow creatures in 5 of 6 wins.
He is not alone in this. Disguised Toast, Becca, and Holythoth also utilized shadow creatures in their combos to win. The final of the Invitational even began with 4x shadow vs. 4x shadow.
What is the current state of the meta? Keane has since published a tier list for the second set. In it, he places many champions he himself played in the tournament in the S-Tier.
In Fortnite, there is now the location Slurpy Swamp, where you can recharge your shield through various variants. However, it often takes a long time. A player shows a trick in a clip on how it works quickly.
What kind of place is this? Slurpy Swamp is a location found on the new map of Chapter 2. There are various ways to recharge shields there. Most of the time, however, the shield recharge takes a very long time.
In an Alter Ego Challenge, you have to step into a Slurp Barrel at Slurpy Swamp while equipped with the Slurp Skin.
A player finds a trick for quick shield recharge
What is this trick? The player HeyItsYonder found a simple trick that significantly speeds up the shield recharge. He posted a video about it on reddit:

In the video, you can see how he quickly runs past the Slurp Tanks and the trucks, building a pyramid underneath each. By placing the component, the Slurp items are destroyed.
Since the player stays nearby, the shield liquid rains down on him. His shield values then immediately increase, and he quickly gets a full shield display.
Slurpy Swamp is practical, but it takes a long time
Why is this trick so important? If you have already visited the location Slurpy Swamp, you know how many variants there are for shield recharging. There are Slurp Barrels, trucks, and even the entire lake around the location is full of healing powers.
While it may be very practical to land there, the shield recharge does not happen by itself, and it usually takes a long time before you have a full shield.
In this guide, you will see which items deserve a place in your inventory:
In WoW: Shadowlands the machinery of death has been disrupted. However, it is very likely that we players are to blame.
In the upcoming expansion “Shadowlands” of World of Warcraft, everything revolves around the Shadowlands. In this realm of souls, quite a few things have gone awry. However, it seems that this change is not solely due to Sylvanas – instead, players themselves might be responsible.
The machinery of death is disrupted: When beings die in World of Warcraft, they are supposed to be brought to the Shadowlands. There, they stand before the Arbiter and are then directed to one of the numerous realms of the Shadowlands.
The anima of souls is used to animate and allow the respective areas to flourish. However, for some time now, all souls have been landing directly in the “Maw” without judgment, a place that was actually only meant for the most wretched souls. All other areas are slowly dying.
Did the players screw it up themselves? One theory that is currently very popular among players revolves around Argus. He was the final boss in patch 7.3 and also the final battle of the entire “Legion” expansion. Argus was a Titan who could not properly “hatch,” but was exploited by Sargeras for his purposes. The players defeated him and the remnants of his power were used to capture Sargeras.
Argus, the Titan of Death: It is particularly interesting that many abilities in the game files of WoW describe Argus as the “Death Titan.” All Titans have some great cosmic power or similar force associated with them. For example, Eonar represents life or Norgannon represents magic. Therefore, it is natural that there is a Titan representing transience in the form of death.
Argus was used for soul searching: However, Argus was not only the Titan of Death, he also had an important role related to souls. The Burning Legion used Argus to fish the souls of fallen demons directly from the Twisting Nether. This allowed Sargeras to bring them back to Argus quickly for resurrection – much faster than with the normal cycle of a demon.
BlizzCon response strengthens suspicion: At the presentations on World of Warcraft at BlizzCon, this suspicion was further corroborated. It was mentioned that the machinery of death has been destroyed for some time and at least affects all “victims of the Fourth War.” This war began immediately after the destruction of Argus with the War of Thorns and the subsequent burning of Teldrassil. The timing would align perfectly.
When you put these aspects together, it is quite possible that Argus played a much larger role in the fabric of cosmic forces than was previously thought. It is very conceivable that Argus’s death, caused by the players, has now led to the chaos in the Shadowlands. Perhaps it was only the death of Argus that allowed the Jailer to gain such dominance in the Shadowlands.
Whether there is any truth to this theory, we will probably only find out next year when the beta of Shadowlands begins. Until then, there is still plenty of room for speculation.
What do you think? Did the story writers think this through well and connect Argus with the Shadowlands? Or do the players see connections where there are none?
On November 10, the final of the LoL-World Championship 2019 took place. And it started with an impressive show featuring Augmented Reality. The audience was totally thrilled and celebrated the strong animations.
What was happening at LoL? On November 10, one of the most important events for League of Legends this year took place. The final of the World Championship between the teams G2 Esports and FunPlus Phoenix. From this event, Riot Games created a massive show that none of the viewers will forget anytime soon. Before that, a player teased that his opponents were just lucky.
This is how the show went: After the audience was warmed up by the warmup, music known to the MOBA fans followed. First, Valerie Broussard performed the song Awaken (watch here on YouTube). Viewers praised the strong performance of the singer as well as the staging by Riot Games.
After this strong start, the group True Damage took the stage and performed the song “GIANTS”. Here, champions like Akali, Ekko, Qiyana, Senna, and Yasuo were portrayed in the stadium with animations and embodied by singers on stage. The singers include Soyeon from the girl group (G)I-dle, Duckwrth, Thutmose, Becky G, and Keke Palmer.

Following the exciting performance by True Damage, Cailin Russo and Chrissy Costanza took the stage to perform “Phoenix”.
The singers are initially alone on stage in the first minute, but are then joined by additional performers.
In the center of the stage stands a performer who initially fights alone against the blades of the champion Irelia. These are animated and visible to the audience. A strong performance begins between the dancers on stage and the animated blades.
Even though this is just part of the performance, fans on social media particularly praise this section.

“The choreography with Irelia’s blades and the dancers is so cool”
“I like that the songs of the ceremony this year were really good live. Last year was pretty … strange. With Rise and so on. But God, the choreography with the blades was fantastic”
“I am at a loss for words to describe how good this ceremony was”
Overall, the mood about the opening show among the fans is positive. With hologram technology, the team created insane animations that look stunning in the hall and on video.
Apart from the music, the matches between G2 and FPX had their highlights as well. You can find the best moments here:
Diverse accounts of FIFA 20 employees have now been hacked. This could be related to an action for the Twitch streamer kurt0411, as he has been banned by EA.
This happened with the accounts: In recent days, more and more Twitter accounts of EA employees have disappeared. This is due to attacks by hackers, as confirmed by EA on the site Eurogamer.
Several employees were made aware that accounts on Twitter were at risk, after targeted attacks against them occurred.
Kurt himself did not quite understand the ban and stated that he was only speaking the truth: FIFA 20 is bad and has many bugs.
Some of the hacked accounts suddenly posted strange things about the streamer. It was said that Kurt would be unbanned and that eSports in FIFA is nothing without Kurt.
In recent days, various EA employees have also been verbally attacked and addressed regarding the ban of Kurt.
This is what the streamer says about it: In a YouTube video on the topic, Kurt only said: “One thing is for sure: A revolution is coming. You must choose a side. And choose a side wisely. You can’t follow me around and do nothing for your game. Enough is enough.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-ujEyhX1IY
The Twitch streamer therefore did not confirm that he is behind the attacks, but his call for a “revolution” also seems to suggest such attacks.
Why does Kurt criticize the game FIFA 20 so much? With his criticism of FIFA 20, the Twitch streamer is not alone.
CoD: Modern Warfare constantly wants to evolve and provide players with a balanced shooter experience. However, the loud running noises and the 725 shotgun have something to say against it, and now the second patch is coming to change that.
What’s the problem? Despite the overhaul in the last patch 1.07 on Friday, November 8th, there are still issues with some minor game elements of CoD: Modern Warfare.
Movement noises
Players feel the movements are too loud, making it nearly impossible to sneak or move unnoticed from one spot to another.
The 725 shotgun
Many players and even the developers consider the weapon too strong at distance.
In addition to gunfire, the footstep noises are quite loud.
Footstep volume remains on the patch list
What do the developers say about it? The developers have already commented on both points and promised improvements. Regarding footstep volume, the next overhaul was announced with the latest patch notes.
We have strengthened the occlusion filter, so noises are better obscured by objects and the volume of footsteps at distance has been adjusted. We have further significant adjustments planned for footsteps, which will come with the next update to make crouched movements and footsteps with scope significantly quieter.
One of the developers recently added on Twitter: Joe Cecot, Co-Design Director for Multiplayer at Infinity Ward, spoke about the powerful 725 shotgun, which is set to be revised further.
In the tweet, Cecot writes about the long-shot kills of the weapon and that these strong hits at this range are unintended. The linked video by “Hutch” shows how strong the weapon still is even after the patch.
Thus, two of the major points of criticism from recent weeks are back in line for a nerf. The cautious approach of the developers shows how complicated balancing can sometimes be.
Overhauling is not that easy
How are these points being addressed? Both issues are not so easy to tackle with the developers’ expectations. The footsteps should still be audible, and the 725 should remain a good shotgun.
This requires a delicate touch. The footsteps are influenced by nearby objects, and the emitted sound is subject to several calculations. Simply turning down the volume could make this gameplay element completely pointless.
It’s similar with the shotgun. Joe Cecot mentioned on Twitter that they want to preserve the essence of the 725. The shotgun should still reliably take out targets with low health at long distances, but not kill at full health.
It remains interesting to see how Infinity Ward handles player feedback to make their game better.
Patch addresses further inequalities
What do you think about the changes since release? Is Infinity Ward doing a good job so far?
At Activision Blizzard, there were two major topics in the new financial report: microtransactions and new mobile games. Although they did not want to confirm WoW Mobile yet, there is hardly any doubt that the journey is heading in that direction. A WoW Mobile or Warcraft Mobile could potentially be released as a strategy game.
What was the occasion? Last week, Activision Blizzard presented its financial report for the quarter from July 1 to September 30, 2019, and discussed the numbers with investors and analysts:
Additionally, Activision Blizzard clearly stated in the earning call that they are moving strongly towards mobile
Call of Duty Mobile is a big hit for Activision Blizzard.
Strong brands should attract players
This is the statement: The Chief Operating Officer of Activision Blizzard, Coddy Johnson, stated: Already, a third of the revenue comes from the mobile sector. They are the company with the largest presence in mobile gaming in the West.
The company is looking at every franchise to see if the brand has the potential to come to mobile.
The brand recognition is important. You can see that clearly. Brands reach hundreds of millions of players. If they address the players correctly, they would be willing to come.
“Mobile is a massive opportunity for us. And we are not just thinking about Call of Duty, and it will not just be Diablo Immortal.”
Coddy Johnson, COO of Activision Blizzard
Diablo Immortal.
Activision Blizzard plans 3 types of games
What are Blizzard’s approaches? According to Johnson, they are planning 3 types of games:
Games should “build on existing gameplay” – an example of this is Call of Duty: Mobile
Then there will be games that “rethink existing PC and console titles” – an example is Hearthstone, which reimagined Warcraft
The third area is “true cross-platform titles” – games that work the same on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and mobile
First-Person Action and Strategy are performing strongly worldwide
What games are specifically coming? When asked if WoW Mobile or Overwatch Mobile are in planning, Coddy Johnson did not provide a specific answer. He did not want to confirm that.
However, it was mentioned that all brands are being considered.
Johnson also emphasized that strategy games and first-person action games are the most successful globally. This fits well with their portfolio.
Moreover, they are becoming increasingly capable of developing mobile titles.
Hearthstone is very successful on PC and mobile.
Overwatch Mobile and WoW Mobile are closely positioned as new games
Here’s what it’s about: “More mobile” is the directive that Activision Blizzard has been issuing for about 3 years. Observers wonder why so few mobile titles have been released so far. Not even Diablo Immortal, which was prominently presented in 2018, is live, but still in production.
If one has good intentions, one might conclude: Activision Blizzard apparently aims for high quality and does not just want to pump out mobile titles en masse; otherwise, we would have already seen the first mobile titles based on Blizzard brands in 2018.
Blizzard has reportedly been working on a strategy title for mobile that fits into this framework since 2017, back then looking for people for a “MMO real-time” strategy game (via neogaf).
For the past 3 years, Activision Blizzard’s business reports have pointed in this direction: to bring their strong brands to mobile.
It is really only a matter of time before a “WoW Mobile” or “Warcraft Mobile” is released as a strategy game in some form. With the well-known characters from WoW – in a different game principle.
Such titles are often considered “Pay2Win” and rely heavily on microtransactions. It will be interesting to see how Activision Blizzard handles this.
In Monster Hunter World, the crossover event with Resident Evil has begun. You can get some new armor and other rewards.

How do I become a zombie? The event quest for the crossover is available normally at the board:
Quest Name: RE: Return of the Bio Weapon
Hunter Rank: Master Rank 20 or higher
Time: 50 min
Requirements: Kill a Velum-Vaal-Hazak
This quest plays out a bit differently than you’re used to, and it’s related to zombification. On the way to Velum-Vaal-Hazak, you will find different types of plants. There are green and red herbs. Collect them, as they will be useful in the upcoming battle.
The monster itself is the cause of the “zombie plague.” Its miasma attack can turn you into a zombie. This means that you can no longer dodge, heal, or use most items from your inventory. However, you can still attack.
The zombie state has its advantages:
Your health will continuously regenerate while standing in miasma clouds
The miasma from Vaal will deal almost no damage to you
You have a kind of automatic defense mantle and earplugs.
Damage now mainly comes from Vaal’s physical attacks. The battle itself is not difficult.
The zombie state lasts only a few minutes, and to become a zombie outside the quest, you’ll need to pick up the two new emotes from the butler.
If you don’t want to stay a zombie, use the green herb to remove it. Alternatively, you can mix a potion from the green and red herbs that will also directly heal all your HP.
What can the new armors do? For completing the quest, you will receive S.T.A.R.S badges, which you need to forge the armors. Unfortunately, the stats, skills, and slots of the complete armor sets are not exactly impressive, but they will make your characters look like Leon and Claire.
The Leon Alpha set has in total:
7x Critical Boost
3x Attack Boost
2x Weakness Exploit
1x Shotgun/Power Shot
Set bonus 2 pieces: Survivor 2 – Prevents zombie and miasma accumulation
Set bonus 4 pieces: Survivor 4 – Increases the maximum level of the Critical Boost skill
The Claire Alpha set has in total:
7x Critical Boost
5x Invulnerability
3x Stamina Recovery
1x Standard Boost
Set bonuses are the same as Leon’s
To forge both armor sets and all 3 charms, you need 15 badges from the quest.
A new MMORPG shooter has launched on Steam. What does Will to Live have to offer and how is the online game received?
What is Will to Live? It is a mix of MMORPG and shooter. You are trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. To do this, you are not only searching for food but also for equipment and resources.

How can you participate? Visit the Steam page of Will to Live and simply download the game there. It uses the free-to-play model.
What status is the game in? It is still in an early access phase. This means not all features are implemented, and there are still bugs and performance issues.
There is still a lot to do
How is Will to Live currently received? On Steam, the ratings for the past 30 days are at 63 percent. The game has received quite a bit of criticism because it was previously offered as a buy-to-play game and is now free-to-play. Some buyers are upset about this and express their frustration in the ratings.
Furthermore, the game is still plagued by issues, which is understandable as it is still in early access. Others, however, see potential in the MMORPG shooter and already enjoy what is playable.
Mr. Masochism says on Steam: “I paid for the game! And now it’s free-to-play! Can I have my money back?”
Killdeath shouts: “There is still some polishing needed, but it’s fun. Since it’s free now, everyone can try it out themselves.”
Trouser Snake explains: “It still needs a lot of work, but it has potential.”
What about player numbers? For an MMORPG shooter, there are still relatively few players on the server currently. According to Steamcharts, around 146 players played on average in the last 30 days. The peak was at 1,014 players. However, this could change now that the game has become free-to-play.
Who should consider playing Will to Live? Anyone who enjoys post-apocalyptic scenarios, wants to experience fast shooter battles but also loves MMORPG features, should take a look at the game. After all, it’s free. It somewhat resembles the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series.

In the next patch of WoW , you can finally unlock the Vulpera as an Allied Race. We reveal to you what happens in the questline.
The PTR of Patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth for World of Warcraft has received another update. The quest to unlock the Vulpera is now available and can be tested. We reveal to you what happens in this questline and why the chaotic cook Nomi has his fingers in the pie again. Because he manages to burn everything once more.
Spoiler Warning: The text discusses the questline for unlocking the Vulpera. Those who do not wish to know the details should not continue reading.
The Vulpera are rejected: The questline begins in Orgrimmar. The Vulpera are guests in the capital of the Horde and want to join the faction. Therefore, they speak before the newly founded Council of the Horde. However, Baine Bloodhoof immediately declines the offer. He continues to welcome the Vulpera as guests in the capital but does not wish to accept them into the Horde. This is due to the fact that the Horde is currently too thinly spread and must provide protection to many allies. They cannot support any additional allies.
The Vulpera devise their own plan: The Vulpera and their deputy leaders (Kiro, Nisha, and Meerah) do not accept this lightly and devise a plan. They want to help the other races of the Horde and thus show that the Vulpera are not only reliant on help but can also shoulder a burden and be helpful. Therefore, they attempt to solve several problems around the world that are connected with the other allied races of the Horde.
The Peons are rebelling; they feel unappreciated. Image source: wowhead
Peon Revolt: The first quest takes place in the Shadowlands. There has been a strike for some time now. The Peons on site are tired of working because they are treated poorly. They are on the verge of starting a revolt and even appointing their own war chief.
With the help of the Vulpera, they manage to prevent this uprising by holding a feast. A large meal in honor of the Peons is organized. As a result, they finally feel appreciated and return to work.
Zandalari fight with the Naga: The next hotspot is with the Zandalari trolls. Despite the fall of Queen Azshara, they continue to be attacked by the Naga. This quest is quite straightforward and “typical”: You have to stop the Naga, sabotage their weapons, and take out one of their leaders to contain the threat for now.
Brewing Ark Wine with Nomi: Lastly, it goes to Suramar. The Nightborne are still swearing by the delicious Ark Wine, but production has come to a standstill. The Horde had sent support, but it is not going well. On site, one immediately recognizes the problem: The various workers have been assigned completely wrong tasks.
Nomi burns everything – even wine. Image source: wowhead
Notably, Nomi manages to ignite and burn the grapes while stomping them. Who knows how he did that.
You need to assign the different workers new tasks and gather some materials so that the production proceeds uninterrupted.
Return to the Capital: In the end, you return to Orgrimmar. Baine is surprised by the selfless help of the Vulpera and reconsiders his decision. The Vulpera are accepted as members of the Horde. In addition to unlocking the Allied Race, there is also a toy from Nomi that allows players to create fire under their feet and jump a great distance without taking fall damage.
This questline will be playable as soon as Patch 8.3 is released and you meet the requirements. The patch is expected to be released in January 2020, unless Blizzard postpones this date.
Are you looking forward to the Vulpera as a new playable race? Or are you not interested in the little fox beings at all?
The development studio Visionary Realms has released a new trailer for the MMORPG Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen. Although it shows little, the fans are excited.
What can be seen in the trailer? The video is 1:06 minutes long. First, we see a group of heroes standing in a forest that creates an atmospheric impression. Then the game’s logo appears, and afterward, we see some players jumping over rocks in a storm in the distance.

How do the fans react? The trailer doesn’t really show much. Nevertheless, the reactions to it are almost entirely positive. There are several reasons for this:
Pantheon is highly anticipated among fans of classic MMORPGs. Players are thirsty for new gameplay material
The video represents a sign of life from the MMORPG, which has been somewhat quiet lately
What has been shown looks quite atmospheric, especially the lighting effects leave a good impression
What is the current status of the MMORPG? Pantheon is being developed by a relatively small indie team that has big plans. Accordingly, the development just takes longer. The team also wants to avoid rushing anything and wants to release the game only when it is in good condition. The developers explain that basically, there is only one chance for a release, and that opportunity must simply convince.
The developers are currently still working on Project Faerthale. It is supposed to be a kind of mini-version of the actual MMORPG, a demo. You get a good insight into the game, can try out many systems, and see if you like the entire concept. Project Faerthale has been in development for a while, and the team says they are nearing the finish line.
Whether Project Faerthale will launch in 2019 is currently unclear. However, in 2020 we should definitely get an insight into the MMORPG Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen
The first players of Pokémon GO have encountered the boss of Team GO Rocket. They fought against Giovanni after they were able to complete further stages of the special research.
This is how to face Giovanni: To battle the boss of Team Rocket Go, you need to complete the special research “A Long Shadow”. The goal is to reach stage 4 of 6 to obtain the Super Rocket Radar. With this, you can track Giovanni.
However, you must have spun 5 PokéStops on different days first. So, a bit of preparation is needed before you can jump into battle.
The first players have now succeeded, and therefore we only now know what Pokémon Giovanni uses.
This is how the battle against Giovanni goes
These Pokémon he uses: Giovanni uses, just like the other bosses, set monsters. In total, he has 5 Pokémon to choose from, of which he sends 3 into battle.
First Pokémon
Second Pokémon
Third Pokémon
Snorlax
Rhydon Hippopotus Dugtrio
Articuno
Which monster can one catch then? After the battle, you can only catch Articuno. It is the first legendary shadow Pokémon available in the game.
How difficult will the battle be? The battle is comparable to the other bosses. Here, however, you don’t have to prepare for so many different Pokémon. It will still not be particularly easy.
How to defeat Giovanni? First, you should use a fighting Pokémon to take out Snorlax. Here we recommend Lucario with the fast charge move Counter so Giovanni’s shields are used up quickly. An alternative is Machamp.
After that, you can continue battling Rhydon with Lucario. Fighting is also good against it. If Giovanni chooses Hippopotus or Dugtrio, then you should switch to a Grass or Water Pokémon. We recommend Swampert with Water moves. Swampert would then also be good against Rhydon.
Finally, Articuno comes, which has a double weakness against Rock. Therefore, we recommend Tyranitar with the two Rock moves. This way, you can counter Articuno easily.
What do you get after the battle with Giovanni? You can still complete the special research afterward. However, there are not particularly interesting items available anymore.
World of Warcraft Classic receives its first major update. We tell you what is changing in the classic version of WoW now.
Tomorrow is finally the day: On November 12, 2019, World of Warcraft Classic enters the next phase – step by step. The start of Phase 2 means not only some “new” content but also significant changes to layering and thus the structure of the realms. We tell you what you need to know for the launch of Phase 2 to be well prepared.
The end of layering: The start of Phase 2 marks the end of layering on all realms. This means that there will only be one version of the game world on each realm going forward, and characters can no longer exist in different layers. You will be able to see all players on your realm permanently. This happens tomorrow, on November 12.
Blizzard has already warned that this may lead to waiting times on some realms. We have also expressed concerns several times about whether the Classic world can handle this and whether there will still be enjoyment in the game with this overcrowding.
Following this, on Thursday, November 14, the real content of Phase 2 will arrive.
First world bosses in the game world: With the start of Phase 2, two world bosses can be fought in the open world. They are:
Azuregos – The blue dragon is located in Azshara.
Lord Kazzak – This giant demon can be found in the Blasted Lands.
Both world bosses have a very long cooldown that can vary – from several hours to a few days. In clear terms, this means that world bosses can only be defeated by one group and must be respawned afterward. Anyone who wants to defeat them quickly should actively look out for them and preferably have a group or guild ready.
PvP system is active: The PvP system is now also active. This enables players to earn honor and rank up by defeating enemy players. This is rewarded with various items that can be acquired at different ranks.
However, be warned: There are no real “battlegrounds” yet, which makes effective farming of honor difficult. Anyone who wants to reach the high ranks will have to engage in open-world PvP nearly all day, such as in Crossroads or Hillsbrad.
The keyring: Lastly, players can expect the keyring. This expands your inventory by a few slots that can only be occupied by keys. In the future, keys (for dungeons, for example) will not go into your bags but into the keyring – saving you space.
Are you excited for Phase 2 of WoW: Classic? Or do you still have enough to do and don’t need new content yet?

Robert Lewandowski scored twice in the top match against Borussia Dortmund. This could give the FC Bayern striker his 2nd TOTW card in FUT 20 this week.
This is what Robert Lewandowski’s 2nd Inform card could look like
Tomas Koubek, the goalkeeper from FC Augsburg, kept his net clean against SC Paderborn with an impressive performance. For that, he could receive his first TOTW card.
Patrick Herrmann was undoubtedly the best player on the field against Werder Bremen. In the 3:1 victory for Gladbach, Herrmann scored twice, securing the win. Whether he has also secured his first Inform card will be revealed on Wednesday.
The release of TOTW 9: The cards for Team of the Week 9 will be available in packs from Wednesday, November 13 at 7:00 PM for one week.
How you can use the predictions now: If you want to earn coins quickly with the TOTW predictions, then you should check out our trading guide:
In FIFA 20, many special cards are among the best cards in the game. Accordingly, they are very expensive. However, some can be found for relatively low prices.
These are special cards: Special cards are all cards that do not belong to the typical bronze, silver, or gold cards. Special cards can include TOTW cards, Icon items, or event cards like “OTW“, “Ultimate Scream“, and “Road to the Final“.
Depending on the event, the cards come with special features. For example, the Scream cards have special boosts, and RTTF and OTW cards develop dynamically. Throughout the season, there are a lot of special cards – and often they are extremely expensive.
We took a closer look at the transfer market and searched for special cards that are strong but not at the top prices. These eight cards could also strengthen your team!
Event cards can be really strong
Special cards with good value for money
Duvan Zapata – TOTW
The cost of TOTW Zapata: The current Inform card of Zapata is priced at 13,000 coins.
Why TOTW Zapata is worth it: Anyone who was already playing FIFA 19 will likely have come across Zapata multiple times. The attacker collected many special cards in FIFA 19 and only needed to wait until TOTW 3 for his first Inform card in FIFA 20.
Zapata has a 4-star weak foot and good shooting stats. Furthermore, he boasts a strength stat of 96 – making him extremely robust. Serie A players should definitely consider adding Zapata to their team.
Marcel Sabitzer – Ultimate Scream
The cost of Scream Sabitzer: The Scream card of Sabitzer is the most expensive on this list. Originally priced over 100,000 coins, it has since dropped to 45,000 coins. Currently, it sits at about 60,000 coins. It’s possible that the price might settle lower soon.
Why Scream Sabitzer is worth it: With Sabitzer, you get a CAM in the Bundesliga with consistently solid stats. While his pace is only 76, as a playmaker he benefits greatly from his passing, dribbling, and shooting stats. He can also hold his own defensively, making him a versatile asset in midfield. He provides a very good alternative in the Bundesliga – especially if his price continues to drop.
Ilkay Gündogan – TOTW
The cost of TOTW Gündogan: The midfielder from Manchester City is currently priced at around 33,000 coins.
Why TOTW Gündogan is worth it: Gündogan is perfect for building a hybrid team from the Premier League and Bundesliga. The City player has very strong stats in terms of play: in dribbling, for example, he boasts a 90-ball control, and his short passes also sit at 90. Skills and weak foot each offer 4 stars – a good all-rounder in the center!
Diego Laxalt – Ultimate Scream
The cost of Scream Laxalt: The Scream card of Diego Laxalt is currently priced at around 30,000 coins.
Why Scream Laxalt is worth it: The standard card of Diego Laxalt has a total rating of only 78 and thus plays a minor role in FUT. However, this new card is a real alternative for Serie A teams. Not only does the high pace make Laxalt strong: The Scream card has a shooting upgrade of 20 points compared to the standard card. It hides behind that a shooting power stat of 97 – not many can keep up with that. Additionally, it has a stamina of 95.
Thorgan Hazard – TOTW/OTW
The cost of Hazard: For Thorgan Hazard, there are two cards available. On one hand, the OTW card for 23,000 coins, and on the other, the TOTW card for 24,000 coins.
Why Hazard is worth it: In terms of stats, the current TOTW card and the OTW card of Hazard are similar. However, they differ in position: Like the standard card, OTW Hazard can be found on the right, while TOTW Hazard plays on the left midfield. Depending on what you’re looking for in your team, you can strike here.
Hazard is solid offensively and has 4-star skills and weak foot. But keep in mind: The OTW card will get stronger with the next Informs – the TOTW card will not.
Raphael Guerreiro – Ultimate Scream
The cost of Scream Guerreiro: Guerreiro also initially cost around 100,000 coins and has now dropped to around 50,000 coins. It’s possible that he may dip even further in the coming weeks.
Why Scream Guerreiro is worth it: The Dortmund player has some good arguments on the left side. He has a pace of 89, but behind that, there hides a sprint speed of 97. Few other players in the game can reach top speed like him. Additionally, he has a stamina rating of 99.
If you use Guerreiro on the left side, you have a player who can cover the entire flank throughout the match. The only weakness: His weak foot only has two stars.
Filip Kostic – TOTW
The cost of TOTW Kostic: If you are looking for an even cheaper special variant for the left Bundesliga side, Kostic is your guy. He is currently priced at around 14,000 coins and also has good stats.
Why TOTW Kostic is worth it: The Frankfurt player is fast, can dribble well, and also has very good stamina. These arguments make Kostic a strong option on the left side – just his weak foot of two stars and the 3-star skills are not that impressive.
Marcelo Brozovic – TOTW
The cost of TOTW Brozovic: You don’t have to dig too deep into your pockets for Brozovic in the special card comparison. He is currently priced at around 14,500 coins.
Why TOTW Brozovic is worth it: With Brozovic, you get a solid defensive player with decent stats across many areas. The standout stat is certainly the 90 stamina, but he also has good individual defensive stats. As a destroyer, Brozovic works perfectly, and he is also not to be dismissed when it comes to playmaking.

In a week, the latest installment of the series, Kingdom Under Fire 2, will launch. The story from the previous games will continue there. We will tell you everything you need to know about the previous history to enjoy the sequel.
On November 14, Kingdom Under Fire 2 (KUF 2) will be released. The MMORPG, which also features strategic elements, was in crisis for 10 years. Now it is finally coming and is supposed to pick up the story where its predecessors left off. Here you will find out everything there is to know about the story of Kingdom Under Fire.
Warning! This article contains spoilers for all previous parts of the Kingdom Under Fire series!
The battle continues in the next round
An endless war between light and darkness
What happened at the beginning
At the center of the story of Kingdom Under Fire is the continent Bersia. It is ruled by two powers – Nible, the Lord of Light, and Encablossa, the Lord of Darkness. Many years ago, the two made a pact to alternate in ruling Bersia.
As Nible’s reign, the Lord of Light, comes to an end, he does not want to hand over power to Encablossa. Giving up power would mean that all life he has created over the many years would be destroyed in an instant.
The Lord of Darkness, Encablossa, is so enraged that he does everything to plunge Nible’s realm into chaos. He creates the “Dark Legion” to reclaim what is rightfully his.
The war between good and evil never ends
The events before the wars
A lich named Khilliani enters the scene. He has strong magical powers and manages to bring the orcs and ogres in Bersia under his control. This temporarily brings peace between Hexter, the realm of orcs and ogres, and the neighboring area of the Hironeiden.
Meanwhile, rumors circulate that a gigantic sculpture is rising from the ground in Hexter. It is called the “Altar of Destruction”. No one knows where the stone structure comes from or what destruction it may bring.
At this time, attacks by strange creatures or monsters throughout Bersia are also increasing. They seem to be searching for something and murder their way through the races. Ultimately, peace breaks down, and the orcs and ogres, under Khilliani’s leadership, invade the realm of the elves.
The continent Bersia
They are searching for the “Ancient Heart”, a relic that possesses nearly unlimited power. Only a few elves survive the attack, including Karl, who later becomes one of the “Xok Knights”, also known as the guardians of the “Ancient Heart”. He manages to save the relic and brings it to a safe place.
The First War of the Heroes
Karl flees with Cellin, another elf, to Hironeiden. The human territory had already made a pact with Khilliani. Karl and Celine are to be taken away when a message reaches the capital of the Hironeiden.
The orcs and ogres, still searching for the “Ancient Heart”, have broken through the borders of the land. The pact with Khilliani was merely a trick. However, the knights of the Hironeiden, led by Keither, manage to repel the enemies.
This is what Keither looked like in the game
Subsequently, the “Xok Knights”, the guardians of the “Ancient Heart”, are founded. This group is meant to prevent Khilliani from obtaining the relic to complete the “Altar of Destruction”. He wants to bring an end to the period of light. The guardians consist of:
Keither, a knight of the Hironeiden
Rick Miner, a close friend of Keither and a strong knight
Moonlight, a royal wizard
Karl and Cellin, the elves
Gunther, a friendly and quiet dwarf
Ludiana, a sorceress
A battle ensues between Khilliani and the group, in which Rick Miner is killed. The heroes, on Moonlight’s insistence and despite Karl’s warning, decide to revive Rick with the “Ancient Heart”. This makes Rick so strong that the group can destroy Khilliani and his “Altar of Destruction”.
The Second War of the Heroes
About 100 years after the first War of the Heroes, humans must again fight against the “Dark Legion”. This time, the hero Curian is in focus. One day, he returns from a journey to find his village destroyed by orcs. He then flees with some survivors to the castle of the Hironeiden.
The characters of the second War of the Heroes
After some intrigues and battles between humans and the “Dark Legion”, another alliance is formed. For this, Curian and the former guardian Moonlight are sent to the elves and dwarves.
In the meantime, Rick Blood, formerly Rick Miner and leader of the “Dark Legion”, takes possession of the “Ancient Heart”. He wants to complete what Khilliani started 100 years ago. Curian then sets off with his army to the “Altar of Destruction”, which Rick Blood has nearly completed.
With Keither’s help, they defeat Rick Blood and destroy the altar once again. The “Dark Legion” is pushed back, but evil is not vanquished.
Rick Blood as he appeared in the game
A new villain appears and wants to rebuild the altar. This new enemy later turns out to be Khilliani. The final showdown takes place at the “Altar of Destruction”. In this giant battle involving all the nations of the continent, Nible is resurrected. After his appearance, all combatants disappear, and the war ends.
The war is not over – The Crusaders and Heroes
However, it doesn’t take long for the next war to break out. The patriarch of Ecclesia, a realm of humans, and one of his followers, Walter, have a divine vision of the “Ancient Heart”. They want to destroy it and therefore form an alliance with the dark elves.
To cover up this connection, Walter attacks a city and makes it look like it was done by the dark elves. The plan works. When the three heroes Gerald, Ellen, and Rupert see the destroyed city, they attack the dark elves, and a war breaks out.
The characters of the third war
Also involved in the fight are the orcs and ogres led by Regnier. He kills the best general of the Hironeiden and thus incurs the wrath of his sons – Gerald and Rupert. In a later showdown, Rupert dies, and Regnier leaves Gerald and Ellen seemingly to die.
The church continues to search for the “Ancient Heart” and uses all other allies as shields. This includes the troops of the Hironeiden under the leadership of General Kendal. Ultimately, Walter manages to acquire the “Ancient Heart”.
It turns out that Regnier is the former warrior Rick Miner. The patriarch catches wind of the power of the “Ancient Heart” and wants to use it to control Regnier. With it, he would have the power to destroy the “Dark Legion”.
The devout Walter
It is also revealed that the relic contains the hearts of Nible and Encablossa. If it is destroyed, the period changes from light to darkness. Walter realizes that the pope is possessed and takes the relic for himself. Now everyone is pursuing him because they want to use the “Ancient Heart” for their own purposes and take revenge.
The War with Encablossa
Despite all odds, Walter and his troops manage to destroy the “Ancient Heart”. What he did not know, however, is that it was not God, but Encablossa himself who gave him the vision.
As a result, darkness returns to power, devouring the troops and sending demons across the continent. With the appearance of Encablossa, Regnier gradually becomes mortal again. He decides to team up with Gerald and Kendal. Regnier knows the weakness of the dark lord, as he was essentially his living vessel.
Encablossa in his human form
With the help of the dwarves, Regnier and Kendal enter the demon’s interior and destroy its heart. As a result, the heroes are forever trapped in darkness, but the period of light dawns once again.
Gerald was left behind to defend the capital. Together with Ellen, he has a son – Glen – one of the characters in Kingdom Under Fire 2.
Inside the Lord of Darkness
Inside Encablossa, Regnier and Kendal are trapped in his realm. There, they are slowly mutating into demons under his influence. Encablossa wants to use Regnier as a weapon and promises, in return, to free him from his fear and regret.
Kendal meanwhile encounters the soul of Moonlight, who wants to make him a demonic warrior. However, without Encablossa’s control.
Ultimately, both warriors break out of the body of the dragon. Regnier leads a large army of demons, and nothing else is known about Kendal. This is where the new MMORPG/RTS Kingdom Under Fire 2 picks up and continues the story.
Here you will also find out which class in Kingdom Under Fire 2 might suit you:
In the League of Legends, player Lin “Lwx” Wein-Xiang (21) set a record for FunPlus Phoenix that no player had achieved before him. He remained without death in a world championship final. At the press conference, he stated that they hadn’t played that strong; G2 Esports was simply that weak.
What kind of record is that? The ADC of FunPlus Phoenix did not experience a single death in the LoL Worlds 2019 final. This has never been achieved by any other player in the history of League of Legends.
Lwx played flawless three games:
In Match 1, he achieved 11 kills/0 deaths/5 kill participations on Sivir
In Match 2, he got 8/0/6 on Kai’Sa
In Match 3, he reached 2/0/3 on Xayah
Here you can see a triple kill from Lwx on Kai’Sa:

That’s why it’s so impressive: This masterpiece, not dying even once and that in the most important series of the year, has never been accomplished by any other player before Lwx.
Especially the ADC is considered a “glass cannon” in League of Legends, who can die if anything goes even slightly wrong.
Lwx’s performance shows the absolute dominance of FunPlus Phoenix in this series.

He said this after the match: When Lwx was asked for a comment during the victory celebration interview, he replied: “I don’t think we played very well; G2 just didn’t really deliver.”
You can sense from the audience’s reaction what kind of statement it was:
Only when the Chinese understood it, parts of the audience cheered
When the statement was then translated into English, a murmur went through the audience
The hit had landed. The final took place in Paris – many were on the side of the Europeans from G2 Esports.
Who was named MVP? Despite this performance, Lwx was not crowned the most valuable player of the series. This honor went to the jungler of FunPlus Phoenix, Tian. He was everywhere for his team and started the fights in which Lwx could then collect his numerous kills.

The Korean version of the MMORPG Lost Ark continues to receive new content. A new continent and another class are included in the latest patch. These are updates that fans of MMORPGs wish for.
What’s new in Lost Ark? While we continue to wait for a West release, the developer of Lost Ark, Smilegate, keeps releasing new content for their game at a pace that many other MMORPGs would envy. Another major update has now been announced for early December.
The two major contents of the update are
the continent Peyton, the land of the forsaken
and the new sub-class Holy Knight
Peyton is located north of the Rohendel continent, which was added in one of the earlier updates. It is situated in the middle of the Dead Sea and has a single port that connects it to the rest of the world.
The community manager Risha emphasized that Peyton is a dangerous land that can only be safely explored by players with high armor levels. The only safe place is the city of Calaza, where most of the country’s inhabitants live.
The continent Peyton and the sub-class Holy Knight are part of the 4th major update that Lost Ark will receive in 2019. It is remarkable how much content the MMORPG has received within a year despite declining player numbers.
The previous updates included, for example, three new sub-classes, plenty of story content, and several continents.
What can the Holy Knight do? The Holy Knight was quickly dubbed in the community as “the child of the Warrior and the Bard.” He is the 4th sub-class of the Warrior and uses a sword and a book as weapons.
The Holy Knight is a combat class that also has strong support abilities. He can, for example, enhance the following attributes of group members:
damage dealt,
attack speed,
shields
HP regeneration
Accordingly, his identity skill can switch between “God’s Executioner” and “Divine Aura.”
God’s Execution should increase the range of attacks
Divine Aura enhances the effect of your allies’ abilities
The resource of the Holy Knight is “Faith,” which he collects when he attacks or is generally in combat. From what is known so far, the attacks of the new class can probably be divided into physical and magical.
The sword attacks are classic horizontal and vertical strikes, as well as a charge and spinning around his own axis
Book attacks include explosions, holy projectiles, or beams.
As a Holy Knight, you can also summon an angel or a magical shield that protects against attacks. The Holy Knight will likely be the fastest of the warrior sub-classes with a one-handed sword.
A preview of the abilities will be released by the developer Smilegate on November 13. Here are some additional images of the Holy Knight.
When can we finally play this? The new content of Lost Ark will initially only be available in Korea as usual. The Russian version of Lost Ark will gradually receive content from the Korean version.
In March 2020, the new class Lance Master is planned in Russia, which was released in spring 2019. It will be followed by the two sub-classes of the Assassin. Russian Youtubers estimate that they won’t see the Holy Knight until summer 2020.
When Europeans will finally be able to play the MMORPG is still up in the air. Even though the developer Smilegate has repeatedly emphasized in the past that a west release is planned and Lost Ark “was created for the global market,” there has been a long silence regarding a possible European version.
However, Smilegate is actively looking for new translators with excellent English skills. Some fans interpret this as a sign that the developer is working on a localization for Europeans.
