From now on, the players of the TOTW 7 (Team of the Week) in FIFA 20 are known. Here you will find out which players are part of the Team of the Week.
What is the Team of the Week? Every week, EA Sports assembles the Team of the Week. This team consists of 23 players who performed well in real football over the weekend.
By being included in the TOTW, players also receive improved Inform cards.
The highlights in TOTW 7: The absolute highlight this week is Mbappe with an overall rating of 90. However, Fabinho (86), Saul (86), Ilicic (86), and Vela (85) also receive really strong Inform cards.
Bundesliga players in TOTW 7: Only Bellarabi (84) from the Bundesliga made it in this week.
The first Inform card of Mbappe: The Frenchman receives his first TOTW card in FUT 20 this week. This offers decent improvements and a position change.
The new Inform card of Mbappe undergoes a position change from striker to left wing.
Moreover, the improvements are greatest in the following areas:
Shooting: 84 -> 86
Passing: 78 -> 80
This is the Team of the Week 7

The SF epic Star Citizen has finally found a Twitch streamer in LIRIK, who shows the game to a larger audience that does not belong to the core target group. However, attempts by the developers to reach out to the streamer turned out to be creepy.
How is Star Citizen doing on Twitch? Star Citizen had a few streamers who were actively streaming on Twitch over the last 365 days, but relatively few viewers watched them (via sullygnome):
The streamer Rexzilla was on Twitch for 1170 hours, but had an average of only 743 viewers when he flew through Star Citizen
The streamer ZvonimirTV was even more diligent with 1718 hours, but had only 157 viewers on average
LIRIK has only spent 7 hours in Star Citizen, but an average of 30,755 people watch him there
As a result, LIRIK is already ranked 4th among Twitch streamers playing Star Citizen in the last 365 days with just 7 hours.
Somehow unfair, but LIRIK has 2.4 million followers on Twitch, while the best Star Citizen streamer has only 33,748.
This was the latest experience in Star Citizen: On October 29, Saqib “LIRIK” Zahid turned 29 and played a bit of Star Citizen for his birthday. He was on his way to explore a cave. It looked almost like a horror game when he was on his way.

The normal activities and explorations were interrupted. In the scene, a voice can be heard murmuring from the crypt: “Happy Birthday.”
LIRIK asked the chat: “Wait? Happy Birthday. I swear to God, I just heard that.”
What’s behind it: Apparently, the developers had some fun with LIRIK.
On Twitter, Star Citizen enjoys this gag. They share LIRIK’s Twitch clip and say, “The moon is cursed,” a well-known meme from Destiny (via twitter)
A fan apparently came up with the idea beforehand, saying on Twitter: “Give him a jump scare when he is in a cave” – that’s exactly what Star Citizen did.
This is how fans react: The action is well received on Twitter.
However, a small discussion also arises. A Twitter user says he does not support LIRIK. He sees good Star Citizen streamers who play much more than LIRIK does.
Another counters: It’s a good marketing move to promote someone like that. Because he shows the game to many new people.
In League of Legends, there was a negative award called the Dade Award. It was awarded annually to the player who disappointed at a LoL Worlds despite high expectations. But now the award is being withdrawn after much backlash: the last three “winners” Bjergsen, Ruler, and Nuguri will be removed from the list.
What kind of award is this? The “Dade” Award is named after Korean midlaner Bae “Dade” Eo-jin. He won everything possible in the regular season of 2013. He was seen as a favorite to shine at the Worlds. But at the LoL Worlds 2013, he disappointed.
From 2013 to 2016, the Dade Award was given by two LoL analysts in their talk show to the player they believed disappointed the most.
Starting in 2017, the award was continued but was given out by a fan site, Leaguepedia.
Nuguri, he was supposed to win the award in 2019.
What categories was the award based on?
The award could only be given to one player – not to a team
This player had to have reached a high hype level before the Worlds, ideally being in the “Top 20” lists of analysts
And the player had to disappoint at the Worlds, meaning losing to opponents who were rated weaker than him before
Leaguepedia now gives out the award on its own
What happened after 2016? Since 2017, the award has not been given by the well-known analysts, but rather by the site “Leaguepedia”.
Here’s the problem: Already in 2018, there were discussions in the community about whether it was fair to award “Ruler” the prize. Because Ruler actually played a decent Worlds – it just didn’t go well for his team.
This is Wunder, one of the best top laners in the world. Against him, Nuguri only looked mediocre.
The fans said: The player did not disappoint at all like previous award winners. That DAMWON Gaming won the group and then lost against G2 Esports, a favorite, is not a disappointment.
G2 Esports has a strong top laner in Wunder anyway. Moreover, Nuguri often died because G2’s midlaner, Caps, could move freely around the map.
Recently, there was quite a bit of backlash regarding Nuguri receiving the Dade Award. Even the original presenter of the award, Thorin, said it would be good to not award a prize for a year.
This year and last year, there wouldn’t have been anyone who deserved the award.

The operator of the site Rheingold River says: The one who distributed the awards for Leaguepedia honestly thought he was acting on behalf of the community. But that has now turned out to be a mistake that needs to be corrected.
River says this is not a reaction to the current backlash, but that they themselves were not happy to spread views here when there was no consensus in the community. They do not want to take on this role as Leaguepedia.
In Fortnite a new code for the Minty Pickaxe is available. However, players need to obtain the code first. Now players are going crazy and want to have it desperately.
What kind of pickaxe is this? The pickaxe is already known from the Christmas season. It is a candy cane with Christmas lights. Now the pickaxe has been given a “new” coat of paint and fits well into the Halloween season.
What code does one need to redeem? Players report about a code that can be redeemed in Fortnite to unlock the Minty Pickaxe.
These codes are said to have been received at the GameStop store in America. While the code could be redeemed, players did not receive the pickaxe in the game.
Is the code redeemable now?
Can you now unlock the pickaxe? Data miner HYPEX reported that the pickaxe is now in Fortnite’s data after the Update 11.10. He posted a picture on Twitter:

He also redeemed a code for the Minty Pickaxe and later showed a picture on Twitter where you can see that he received the pickaxe.
Players are crazy about these codes
Why are these codes so sought after? Since the codes are only handed out at selected retailers in the USA, UK, France and Germany when purchasing a Fortnite product, many players are desperate.
Players who do not live in these countries still want to obtain a code.
Several giveaways have already been started on Twitter where you can secure a code for the Minty Pickaxe. Data miner FNBRHQ started a giveaway where 5 codes are being raffled off.
There is also a high demand for these giveaways and players comment that they would love to receive the pickaxe.
High demand is being exploited: Since the demand and interest in this pickaxe is so high, it also attracts sellers who smell profit. They are selling the codes online at a high price.
The data miner Lucas7Yoshi posted a picture on Twitter showing the pickaxe being offered for 102.50 dollars:

During the “Conference Call” on 29.10., EA executives confirmed among other things the release of a major Battlefield title in the fiscal year 2022. When could the new Battlefield be released, what could it look like and what do players wish for?
What is the “Conference Call”? EA holds a conference call every three months for a selected audience of journalists and qualified stakeholders.
With these events, EA aims to inform about its future and past work, allowing outsiders to gain insights into the company’s development.
With the Q2 conference in the fiscal year (EA’s fiscal year starts on April 1), EA provided attentive listeners with exciting information. Among other things, it was about the popular sports games, which have performed very well with their live service components.
The Battlefield franchise was also discussed and a possible continuation within the next year 2020 was ruled out.
Battlefield 6 with release in at least 1.5 years

When will the new Battlefield be released? In a conversation, Andrew Wilson, CEO and head of EA, stated that the new Battlefield will be released in the fiscal year 2022 (April 2021 – March 2022). Looking at the recent release dates of major Battlefield titles, a pattern emerges that suggests fall 2021.
Release dates of Battlefield
October 25, 2011 – Battlefield 3
October 29, 2013 – Battlefield 4
October 21, 2016 – Battlefield 1
November 9, 2018 – Battlefield 5
A release in late October/early November 2021 therefore seems very likely. External observers had assumed that the release of a new Battlefield would come sooner.
Next-Gen consoles need to mature
Why is Battlefield coming later than expected? Wilson mentioned that EA focuses on the successful Apex Legends in the shooter area next year and wants to give the next-gen consoles, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Scarlett, at least 2 years to develop properly – both technically and in terms of player numbers.
The biggest innovation of the current title Battlefield 5 was the battle royale mode Firestorm
Battlefield 6 aims to deliver innovative experiences
Will the new Battlefield be different in any way? EA team captain Wilson also spoke about this. He said they want to take Battlefield to the next level, making it the “cutting edge” of shooters of this time and pursue innovative paths.
For EA, this means:
New exciting multiplayer modes
Battlefield as a live-service game
New social elements
It is supposed to be the most modern and best shooter on the market. To achieve this, they want to introduce entirely new multiplayer experiences and enhance the social components of the game. However, such phrases are often used for a game whose release is still a long way off. There are still no concrete plans.
In FIFA Ultimate Team, it’s about players and EA earning many coins
Battlefield possibly with FIFA elements
What could a BF service game look like? EA will try to transfer the successful concept of live services from their sports games, like FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT), to the Battlefield concept.
In FUT, not only the team building is central but also the competitive aspect. There are weekly PvP tournaments with strong rewards, as well as goals and tasks that are achievable for the average player and offer decent prizes.
How EA plans to apply its successful concept to the Battlefield franchise will be exciting to see. Weekly tournaments and official community events of all kinds will certainly be something players will want to try out.
However, such services will likely not come without microtransactions, raising the question of pay-to-win again. It is to be hoped that the experiences with Battlefront 2 left an impression.
The community looks to the future and wishes for titles that are closer to modern times or even beyond.
Players wish for something modern again
What do players say about this? The community is initially interested in the setting of the game. After the first info about Battlefield 6 became known, EA was immediately presented with the wishes of the users unsolicited.
Hopefully there won’t be the same problems at launch that we had with the last releases. I look forward to the presentation of a modern Battlefield in the form of Bad Company 3 or completely Sci-Fi with 2143.
Sounds good! BF5 is actually really good now and with one or two more years, the rest of WW2 like the Russians, etc. – plus Bad Company 3 has more time to do it right.
With the new title, many expect a return to modern times, if not even beyond. A continuation of the popular “Bad Company” series is something many can imagine, but the Sci-Fi setting of Battlefield 2142 is also on the wish list.
This is great news for everyone hoping that BF5 will eventually become the epic, WW2-spanning continuation of BF1942. […]
However, there were also some voices that pondered the effects for the current Battlefield 5. As the game is still supported for at least another 1.5 years, they hope for more breathtaking landscapes and good development in the coming months.
Amphibious vehicles, flamethrowers, zeros – Chapter 5 brings the WW2 Pacific War
Battlefield 5 – New maps coming tomorrow
How is Battlefield 5 doing? The hope that this positive development will set in also depends on the release of the Pacific maps tomorrow, on 31.10.
Chapter 5 of Battlefield 5 brings a lot of free new content and comes with familiar and desired maps. If the maps work and are well received, things may not be that bad for BF5.
Is World of Warcraft Classic now a true hit and a lasting phenomenon? Or has the interest in the “old” version of Azeroth faded away?
It has been a little over two months since Blizzard fulfilled the players’ long-standing wish and released the “Classic” version of World of Warcraft. Although the initial rush has subsided, there are still signs that interest remains, as:
There are still queues on some realms during peak times
Some realms are still “Layered”, meaning they are still extremely populated
Paladins and Warlocks are working on their epic mounts, while Mages can finally create the best possible water. More content will follow with the launch of Phase 2, which is expected to take place “later this year”.
How much fun are you still having after 2 months in WoW Classic?
But despite all these positive updates, we want to know how the interest in World of Warcraft Classic looks within our community. Are you still actively playing? Are you still having as much fun as at the beginning? Or have you turned your back on Classic and returned to Retail WoW (or another game)?
If you want to elaborate on your choice a bit more, please leave a comment under this article and explain why your opinion on WoW Classic is as it is. What do you like and what bothers you?

This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
In Apex Legends, some players are affected by a glitch in their matches that gives them a whole new gaming experience. However, they will probably never be able to play the corresponding mode.
This is what the glitch does: Some players are occasionally affected by a glitch that changes their camera position. The camera then no longer shows the first-person perspective but the third-person perspective.
However, the glitch seems to occur only when one’s own team has already been eliminated. Instead of returning to the lobby, players find themselves on an empty map without opponents.
The reddit user Spaghetti4Brekky posted a video about this:

How does this happen? The reason is probably a bug. The user Armetron explained that the camera is stuck in a state that shows it in third person when respawning with the ship.
The camera is now waiting for the command to return to first person – which will never come because the ship never appeared.
A mode that can never be played
Will this come as a new mode? Battle Royale competitors like PUBG already offer players the option to play in third person. However, the lobbies are usually strictly separated.
PUBG offers a “Third Person” view
Apex Legends, however, has only had a first-person mode since its release. This will probably not change. Respawn has no plans to ever release another variant.
Advantages of the third person: In third person, players have the advantage of having more overview. They can see better behind them, have a better all-around view, and can even look around corners if the environment and the game allow it.
The differences between first person (left) and third person (right) in PUBG.
As a result, opponents can be easier to locate or surprise, especially if traps are set at dangerous corners. Players must proceed even more cautiously than they already do.
However, there are often complaints about the third person in battle royale games, or annoying bugs may occur. The community is rather hoping for a solid solo mode or the option to join with a different group size than three players.
We will show you how to obtain the exotic SMG “Xenophage” in Destiny 2. Read here how the quest “The Journey” works and why the power weapon is so popular.
To get the exotic SMG “Xenophage” from Shadowkeep, you need to complete the quest “The Journey” (eng. The Journey). During the lengthy series of tasks, you will complete numerous activities on the Moon.
We have a video for you below that explains all the quest steps. To help you navigate, we provide timestamps. This way, you can easily find your current task.
[toc]
Visiting the new dungeon “Pit of Heresy” is also one of the quest steps. Ideally, you should have unlocked the new location. Here’s how you can do it:
Here’s how you start the quest “The Journey”: To receive the quest “The Journey”, you need to loot a chest. The chest is located where Eris Morn stands in front of the mysterious pyramid ship.
You will always enter this location through the portal if you are completing a weekly quest from Eris. But you can also visit the area without the portal.
Start in the area “Harbor of Sorrow” in the upper part of the Moon map. From there, enter the Hive Fortress and always keep left, then turn right in the area “Endless Abyss” into a hidden passage.
Here’s where to go after the lamp on the right
Once you arrive, activate the four statues on the left and right in succession until they glow blue. Then you can open the chest on the observation platform. Inside is the exotic quest “The Journey”.
Exo-Quest “The Journey” (The Journey)
Step 1 – Step out of the Darkness: You need to pick up a burning sphere in the area “Anchor of Light” and ignite hidden bowls with it.
The altar with the burning sphere is located in the smaller building next to the facility with the tall transmitter.
Source Nexxos Gaming
You can find the route with the bowls in the video below or with the help of the map.
Here you can see where the bowls to be ignited are – Source: Reddit
Step 2 – Pathfinder
Next, you need to enter the four Lost Sectors on the Moon. After each sector boss, an exit will open up. Near this exit route, there are Hive symbols on the wall.
Behind the runes lies a switch puzzle. The arrangement of the symbols is 3×3, meaning 9 fields. You need to make the sign displayed at the top (number 10) appear in all 9 fields, so that you only see one rune 10 times in front of you.
If you shoot one of the 9 symbols, the visible runes will change. To avoid blasting randomly, we have an ideal order for all sectors:
K1 Revelation: 7:36 (RM, LM, MM, MM, LM, OM, UM, MM)
The letters represent the position of the symbols in the 9-field grid. (O= top, U=bottom, L= left, R=right, M=middle. In our example, the top is the reference symbol and UM stands for bottom and middle (UM).
Step 3 – Descent
Now you will go into the new dungeon “Pit of Heresy”. To progress the quest, you need to complete the first encounter of the activity.
Everything you need to know about the dungeon “Pit of Heresy” can be found in our guide:
You find yourself at a steep rock wall with various rooms and elevators. The first phase requires you to defeat three mini-bosses. Which level you need for this can be recognized by the glowing Hive runes.
Each of the three bosses must be defeated using a special sword. The weapon is dropped by roaming Hive Knights. The sword has new abilities and must be used as follows:
Always block and reflect the fire Source Nerxxos Gaming
Witch (Omen of the Broken Blade) – the witch can be wounded with the ranged attack. Use the heavy attack for this.
Knight (Might of the Broken Blade) – The knight can only be wounded with melee strikes. Hit the aggressive boss with normal attacks or the charged super.
Screamer (Oracle of the Broken Blade) – The hovering screamer will shoot at you. You must rebound these shots back at it using the sword block. It’s best to have a player draw aggro.
After you have taken down all three Hive bosses, there will be a loot chest and a passage will open. You will see a lot of doors and openings in front of you.
The correct opening is located at the top left. On the ground, you will find a Hive symbol and the next quest step.
Step 4 – Discovery
You need to delve deeper into the dungeon until you reach a branched cave system. This area consists of very narrow corridors in the center. Outside, there is an open area with patrolling ogres.
In the greenish outer area, there is a cliff on the left. Here you need to interact with Hive symbols on the ground. After a short time, three floating platforms will appear. At their end, an altar with a burning sphere awaits you.
This fireball must be brought to a secret door. Because the passage only opens when the bowls next to it are ignited. Be careful of the invulnerable ogres. You can find the exact path in the video guide again.
Hard to miss – the secret passage
Step 5 – Volmâr, the Corrupted, killed: Afterwards, you can test your combat skills. The challenger is a Hive witch. However, the nice lady cannot simply be attacked blindly.
The witch is immune. To break her shield, you need to pick up a sphere in the middle of the room. This will ignite the altars distributed in the area.
However, you need to pay attention to activating the correct altar. Each altar is assigned to an element. You can see the element assignments in the anteroom. On the left side of the screen, you can see which buff is currently active.
Fiery Terror: Solar Damage
Raging Terror: Arc Damage
Abyssal Retribution: Void Damage
Neutral Terror: Kinetic Damage
Once you have activated an element buff, you can only deal damage to the witch with that element. However, you are not under time pressure during the fight. If you don’t have a suitable weapon for an element, simply wait for the next buff.
Step 6 – Incomplete: Return to Eris Morn and collect your well-deserved reward: the heavy SMG “Xenophage”.

This is what makes the insect SMG special: The weapon belongs in the power slot and requires heavy ammunition to fire its devastating solar projectiles. For an SMG, the new rate of fire of 120 is very slow. However, its impact with 100/100 is at maximum limit.
Target Lock – increases the already high range when aiming (71/100)
High-Caliber Rounds – shots push enemies further back
Xenophage does not need to land critical hits to deal full damage. Additionally, the weapon has effectively infinite range and deals area damage with its powerful shots.

14-year-old Cody “Clix” Conrad played the Fortnite Champion Series with his team and streamed it live on Twitch. He had to leave the match when the police came to his house. Someone had swatted him.
This was the situation: Professional Clix was playing the “Fortnite Champion Series” and had already been eliminated, but three members of his squad were still active. He watched one teammate. The game was being broadcast live on Twitch. Clix has around 450,000 followers on the platform.
You can see in the Twitch clip the typical action of a high-level Fortnite match and hear the voice chat comments: “I hit him again for 25, he is down to 10 HP.”

League of Legends receives a new and very interesting champion with Senna. Her abilities have now been revealed and many players already find her too strong.
Now she is set to roam the world of Runeterra and League of Legends. You can already test her and her abilities on the PBE. She makes a strong impression there.
What can Senna do? Senna will be a mix of support and AD Carry, with the focus according to Riot Games being on support. This impression is also given by her abilities:
Passive: By attacking enemy champions, Senna collects mist from them. These increase her range, damage, and crit chance per stack. The stacks are consumed upon attacking.
Piercing Darkness (Q): The ability works like Lucian’s Piercing Light, but also heals herself and allies in the beam. Additionally, the ability can also be cast on allies.
Last Embrace (W): Senna throws mist at an enemy, rooting the target and surrounding allies.
Curse of the Black Mist (E): Creates a field in which Senna and allies are invisible and gain movement speed. Senna is the center of the field, which moves with her. Allies leaving the field are displayed as non-targetable ghosts.
Dawning Shadow (R): Senna fires a global laser that shields allies and deals damage to enemies in the center of the beam.
You can also watch all her new abilities in the video:

Senna has a bit of everything – does that make her too strong?
Why do players find Senna too strong? The new champion has access to many useful traits, which some players find to be too much of a good thing. Reddit user Camitsune writes:
Holy Utility. All 4 abilities have a supportive play style. She has healing, shields, CC, invisibility, and damage. The whole package.
Other users also have opinions about her abilities, but they all point in the same direction:
VniSalska: “Her ‘E’ is a balance nightmare, I predict it.”
Lenticious: “Teammates will appear as non-clickable ghosts after leaving the ‘E’? That sounds so unnecessary, I bet it will be removed soon.”
Players have particularly focused on the invisibility field, which was recently nerfed for Akali, and on the strong ultimate.
Here, players are already expecting nerfs before or shortly after her release.
When does Senna come out? Senna is set to be released on November 10th, conveniently coinciding with the finals of the Worlds. She will be one of five champions who will belong to the new hip-hop group True Damage, which will also make an appearance there.
In Borderlands 3 you can give the Vault Hunters a new, spooky look thanks to the “Spooky Surprise”.
This is the Spooky Surprise: During the Borderlands Show, Gearbox announced not only the new Maliwan Takedown Update. The “spooky surprise” announced during the Anniversary Event is also now available.
There is a new head for each of the Vault Hunters. They are also quite spooky, inspired by Bloody Harvest and are perfect for going on a loot hunt in the event.
Here are the 4 heads – get them with the Shift code
Who gets which head? Each of the Vault Hunters can get one of the spooky Halloween heads.
Zane becomes a werewolf
FL4K gets the Frankenstein head
Amara becomes a skeleton with a cap
Moze becomes a horror clown
Here’s how you get the heads: To unlock the heads, you only need to redeem the following Shift code.
K9W3T-BJZ59-B9SHB-6B3JT-T9CFF
You can redeem the code until November 4th. The heads are completely free and can be used by anyone. They also likely mark the end of the Borderlands Anniversary Event. The heads are listed as the last item on the roadmap – the “Spooky Surprise” is likely completed.
What’s next for Borderlands: The weekly birthday events are currently finished, but the Bloody Harvest event is still ongoing until December 5th. Additionally, two bonuses from Mayhem on Twitch will remain and the Maliwan Takedown begins at the end of November.
So there’s quite a bit to look forward to in the future. And the DLCs are also coming:
A girl with an extremely large axe will soon rage in the action MMORPG Vindictus. But how is the game currently doing?
What has been announced? Nexon has announced a new hero for the action MMORPG Vindictus, named Belle. The special thing about Belle is that she wields an enormous axe.
Belle uses this axe because her father was a lumberjack, and the weapon reminds her of him. Belle only appears in the game now because she was frozen for a long time as punishment for entering the Forbidden Forest. She does not get along well with others and prefers to be alone. Thanks to her rather revealing clothing, she would fit very well in the Vindictus Pin-Up Calendar.

What attacks does Belle use? The little girl swings her massive axe to smash her enemies.
With Flare-Up, she jumps into the air and dismantles enemies with powerful wind blasts.
Landslide utilizes the force of a previous blow. Belle jumps into the air and lets her axe come crashing down on the opponent.
In Whipping Wind, Belle braces herself against the axe and spins around. Her enemies take damage from kicks during this.
When will Belle be introduced in Vindictus? The 15th hero is available in the game since October 29.
What is Vindictus? The MMORPG does not offer an open world but a hub system. You select missions that lead you to various areas through which you fight. Vindictus is characterized by its action-packed and fast-paced combat system. Each of the 15 heroes offers you different attacks and special moves to defeat the enemies.
How Vindictus is doing
How is the MMORPG doing currently? You can play Vindictus either directly through Nexon or via Steam. However, now without German support. Steam provides a good insight into the current popularity of the game.
On Steam, it can be seen that Vindictus currently has a rating of 70 percent. However, over the past 30 days, it has dropped to 50 percent. This is due to a technical issue where the launcher would not start.

Touya writes on Steam: “I’m actually only level 11 so I don’t know how it will look later, but I really like it so far.”
Hobie Wan Kenobi says: “Very fun game! It’s free and doesn’t push any microtransactions on me. The combat works almost seamlessly and it has one of the best combat systems I’ve seen in an MMORPG.”
According to Steamcharts, an average of around 215 players have been online simultaneously in the past 30 days, with a peak of 565 players. It should be noted that many play Vindictus through their own launcher.
Fancy MMORPGs like Magic: The Gathering and the anime RPG Ni No Kuni? Netmarble fulfills the desire – but for mobile devices.
What did Netmarble introduce? At G-Star 2019, the largest Korean gaming and electronics show, the Chinese company Netmarble (Diablo Immortal) presented a series of new online games. These include:
the hardcore MMORPG A3: Still Alive,
the online RPG Seven Knights Revolution,
Seven Knights 2
Second Country: Cross Worlds
and Magic: Mana Strike.
All games are planned for mobile devices. Particularly the last two games were a real surprise.
Ni No Kuni and Magic as Mobile MMOs
What is Second Country: Cross Worlds? The mobile MMORPG is based on the RPG series Ni No Kuni. The RPG impresses mainly with its anime graphics. They come either directly from the famous Studio Ghibli or from former employees of the company.
Second Country: Cross Worlds is supposed to be inspired by Ni No Kuni but does not use the brand name. The MMORPG relies on group systems like guilds, and it is possible to have pets fighting alongside you, similar to Ni No Kuni.
These are a kind of nature spirits that you can enhance. You play as one of five heroes in the story mode and can even compete in a PvP system with three other players.
What is Magic: Mana Strike? The mobile game initially announced as Magic: The Gathering M is a real-time strategy game that is very much based on the card game Magic: The Gathering. The developers focus on detailed 3D graphics that richly depict the fantasy world. You fight not in the form of cards, but with units. Currently, there are no further details about the game.

What are Seven Knights Revolution and Seven Knights 2? Seven Knights Revolution is an MMORPG where you take on the role of one of seven heroes. You can transform your weapons and must face massive boss enemies.
Seven Knights 2 is still in a very early development phase. The MMORPG is being created with Unreal Engine 4 and is intended to be a sort of next-gen mobile MMORPG.
What is A3: Still Alive? The MMORPG is a kind of mobile remake of the well-known hardcore online RPG A3 in Asia. The game is primarily aimed at PvP players. It allows open PvP everywhere, and A3 was infamous for its excessive player killing. A3: Still Alive aims to bring back that feeling.
Currently, there are no release dates for these mobile games available. It is also unknown whether the games will be released here in the country.
The gaming publisher Electronic Arts has presented a new financial report for the Q2 2020. What statements are made about their game Anthem? It was supposed to be the blockbuster of 2019 – but that is no longer reflected in the financial report.
What is the connection? On October 29, there was the earnings call of Electronic Arts for Q2 2020. This is the quarter that ended on September 30, 2019 – a bit confusing.
In the earnings call, the EA executives speak to analysts and investors. EA made some announcements about how their game brands will continue and how they envision their future.
We check in the transcript of the call (via fool.com) how often Anthem is mentioned in this context.
Anthem is mentioned twice briefly – something is coming in Q4
This is what EA says about Anthem: Anthem appears twice in the conference call. However, only embedded in a larger context. Statements that are “only” applicable to Anthem do not come from EA.
Then Apex Legends, the EA Sports franchises, Sims 4, Anthem, and Star Wars Battlefront 2 are mentioned as other games that will receive new content during Q4. Players should be able to experience “new experiences” in the games.
One can therefore assume that Anthem will receive “something” in Q4.
Improving Anthem as a “live-service game”
The second time Anthem is mentioned is when EA emphasizes that it will continue to invest heavily in service games, just like it has in the past 10 years. Here, the importance of Apex Legends and how essential FIFA Online is in Asia is underscored.
It is said that EA wants to see how to integrate more “live service” into each title so that the games are as successful as the sports titles, The Sims or Apex Legends.
The games that are supposed to be improved include Battlefield and Anthem – they are likely somewhat the problem children at the moment.
It is stated: Players want to play games today as a “live-service”.
What EA exactly means by this, they do not say: Usually, “live service” means to update, improve, and provide a game with new content over a long period.
Is this all EA says about Anthem? Yes. Anthem is indeed mentioned again in two questions from analysts, but EA answers without directly addressing Anthem.
For instance, EA is asked what BioWare is doing after Anthem. It is said that Dragon Age should come in fiscal year 2022. And there are more games in development.
However, EA does not directly address Anthem in this context.
Apex Legends is now the 10-year game
This is what it’s about: It is a trend that has been observable for a while:
The exotic trace rifle Divinity is already very powerful in Destiny 2 and has now become even stronger. However, this won’t last long, as it will soon lose one of its greatest strengths.
This is the weapon: The trace rifle Divinity was introduced as one of the new exotics from Shadowkeep. You can obtain the quest in the open world of Destiny 2, specifically on the Moon, but if you want to earn this exotic, you won’t be able to bypass the new raid Garden of Salvation.
And this weapon is currently going through quite a rollercoaster. Just when it became even more powerful than it already was, it will soon have to undergo a nerf or rather a correction.
What makes the weapon special? What makes the weapon so special are its two unique perks, Judgment and Penance.
With the exotic perk Judgment, targets are enveloped in a field that weakens and disrupts them through ongoing damage with this weapon.
The perk Penance causes targets that remain under the influence of Judgment for long enough to receive accumulated damage.
Specifically, this means: Through the weakening effect, enemies suffer +25% damage from all sources.
What makes it so special? One of Divinity’s greatest strengths is that it effectively disregards all the new rules that Destiny 2 recently established regarding damage buffs and debuffs with the release of the Shadowkeep expansion.
Because since then, only one damage buff and debuff can be active at the same time. If multiple such effects are used, Destiny 2 chooses the highest one and no longer stacks the effects, as was the case before Shadowkeep.
However, the additional damage effect of Divinity is still calculated on top of every buff, debuff, and damage source. No other weapon can do that. And that’s what makes the weapon so popular among many guardians – especially in challenging endgame activities.
How did update 2.6.1 change Divinity? On October 29, the Update 2.6.1 for Destiny 2 was released. Included was, among other things, a change for Divinity.
Thus, the weakening effect of the raid weapon has been increased from 25% to 30%. This makes the already very powerful weapon even stronger – at least for the moment. Because it won’t stay that way for long.
This nerf for Divinity is coming: In the patch notes, Bungie mentioned not only the buff to Divinity, but also an upcoming nerf or rather a correction.
The developers explain that the weakening effect from the Judgment perk was not intended to function as it currently does. It should not be possible to stack it with other weakening effects. It should indeed be a standalone debuff like other comparable weapons.
This situation is intended to be addressed, but at a later time. When exactly, the studio does not specify.
The optical cage effect will continue to appear and function as a precision weak point. However, the multipliers will no longer be stackable.
Enjoy the weapon while it is at the peak of its performance.
What do you think of this step? An important correction? Or will this step make the exotic less attractive?
In World of Warcraft, a major reset of an important currency is coming soon. It will then only be worth a few silver. Those who can should invest it wisely.
In World of Warcraft, players can buy numerous useful items with Titan Residuum. Some players also save the currency to prepare for the next patch. However, Blizzard is now putting a stop to this, as Titan Residuum will be reset.
Why is Titan Residuum important? With Titan Residuum, players can buy the best Azerite armor in the game directly, without relying on drop luck. Residuum is gained by breaking down Azerite armor at the scrapper in Dazar’alor or Boralus.
Why is Blizzard doing this? There are two reasons for the reset. First, Blizzard apparently does not want players to farm so much in advance that they can buy the best equipment right at the start of the season.
Secondly, Blizzard wants to shrink the values for Titan Residuum. The costs for Azerite items and the gain of Residuum are to be reduced, so that the numbers are smaller again. Apart from that, Titan Residuum will still function exactly the same in Patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth .
What will happen to Titan Residuum? Blizzard has announced that Titan Residuum will be converted to silver at the start of Season 4. The exchange rate is not exactly known, but an exchange of 1:1 seems realistic, as some players have accumulated several million Titan Residuum. For every 100 Residuum, there would then be one gold piece.
When is the reset happening? The reset is supposed to take place with the start of Season 4. This will likely happen shortly after the launch of Patch 8.3, which does not yet have a release date. However, a date around mid-December is suspected, so that the new raid Ny’alotha can start after the holiday season in January.
What do you think of the reset of Titan Residuum in Patch 8.3? A good decision? Or did you already farm in advance?
In Pokémon GO, a new Raid Hour starts tonight, October 30! This time it’s all about Darkrai again. We provide information on counters, start time, and participant numbers.
This event is about: The Raid Hour takes place regularly on Wednesday evenings. During the event, there are increased raids in the arenas everywhere.
Tonight you’ll find more Darkrai than usual. Thanks to the Halloween Event, the Pokémon is in the level 5 raids and appears, just like last week, more frequently this time as well.
What you need to know about the Raid Hour with Darkrai
When does the Raid Hour start? The event starts, as usual, at 6 PM. 20 minutes beforehand, a black egg will appear on all arenas where there is currently no raid. At 6 PM sharp, Darkrai will hatch.
In every other arena where there is no raid until 7 PM, Darkrai will appear as well. The exception is arenas that have just distributed EX raid invitations.
You need to have these counters: Darkrai is weak against the types Fighting, Bug, and Fairy. It’s best to rely on a full Machamp team, as it is the best counter. Pokémon like Hariyama, Togekiss, or Roserade are also good choices.
How many people do you need for Darkrai? The mysterious Pokémon can already be defeated with three players. However, you need suitable weather and a strong team. For the Raid Hour, we recommend a group size of 5 to 6 players. This way, you can move quickly and are not tied to too many trainers.
Should you take advantage of the Raid Hour? Definitely! Darkrai is the best Dark attacker in the game and far outperforms Pokémon like Tyranitar or Sableye.
Moreover, Darkrai will not be available for long and will disappear from raids on November 1. When it will return is still uncertain. Until then, you can still take advantage of the double candies when catching.
What are the future Raid Hours going to be like? This is currently uncertain. Niantic has only announced the Raid Hours for October so far. What it looks like in November is still unknown.
If Niantic stays true to itself, there will also be a Raid Hour every Wednesday then. Which Pokémon will be featured is currently not known.
This weekend, the live event in Pokémon GO is also taking place. Are you joining? Vote here:
The beta of Warcraft III: Reforged starts this week. Those who want to participate can now qualify for the beta and, with a bit of luck, soon engage in their first matches.
It’s been almost a year since the announcement of “Warcraft III: Reforged”, the remake of Warcraft III along with the expansion Frozen Throne. The re-release of the strategy classic is set to be launched later this year, so it’s about time for a beta. This starts this week and we will tell you how you can participate.
How can you participate? To have a chance at an invitation to the beta, you must have pre-ordered Warcraft III: Reforged or the more expensive “Spoils of War” version, which comes with additional goodies. Blizzard states that they will invite players in waves who have purchased the “Spoils of War” version and then in later waves additional players, such as those who secured the regular version.
However, there seems to be no guarantee for a beta invitation.
What is playable in the beta? Currently, only a few features are available in the multiplayer beta. At the beginning, it is quite limited, so there is access to:
The matchmaking in 1vs1 and 2vs2
The races Humans and Orcs
More races (Night Elves and Undead) as well as additional game modes are expected to be unlocked in the coming weeks.
What content is missing in the beta? The complete campaign is not available during the beta, just as numerous “fun maps” and other game modes (3vs3, etc.) are. At the beginning, Blizzard only wants to test the 1vs1 and 2vs2 matches and focus on Humans and Orcs.
Is the purchase worth it? Anyone who has never played Warcraft III and wants to experience the campaign in nice graphics will likely not regret the €30. The more expensive “Spoils of War” version for €40 comes with numerous extras spread across all Blizzard games. These include:
Special skins for Thrall, Cenarius, Arthas, and Jaina in Warcraft III: Reforged
Profile pictures and animated spray logos in Overwatch
Meat wagon mount in World of Warcraft (Retail only)
Thrall, Anub’arak, Jaina, and Tyrande in Heroes of the Storm
“The Third War” card back in Hearthstone
Mal’Ganis pet in Diablo III
4 interface skins for StarCraft II
So anyone who enjoys extra goodies should also consider the additional €10.
More information about the game will certainly be available at BlizzCon starting Friday.
Are you excited about Warcraft III: Reforged? Or are you waiting for other Blizzard games?
With Title Update 6 of The Division 2, many really good values were brought into the game. In particular, the “Named Items” are fun for build creators. A certain mask can provide 100% hazard protection and more. Here’s how you can get the ultimate hazard protection mask.
Why do you need hazard protection in The Division 2? In the loot shooter Division 2, pure bullet damage is just one of many ways to ruin the day for the sometimes unstable bandits in Washington. There are numerous different status effects that can also be quite annoying for the agents.
To protect yourself from unwarranted assaults with poison or fire, the game includes “hazard protection.” If an agent is exposed to a status-altering attack, such as the shock attack from a drone, the chance of status change is 100% – minus hazard protection.
Be prepared for anything – In The Division 2, you can be affected by a “Bleeding Wound” at any time.
The importance of hazard protection should not be underestimated
How high should the hazard protection in my build be? A hazard protection value around 40% – 50% is already solid protection for a good build. The effects trigger noticeably less often, and if there is a fire, you can often jump out of the debuff zone without a blazing holster.
However, with Title Update 6, there is now a mask that can already provide over 100% hazard protection and thus even secures status effect immunity.
The Hollow Man comes with all-around protection
What kind of mask is that? The mask is one of the new “Named Items” and thus has the perfect version of a high-end talent. In this case, it is “Perfectly Isolated” with 50% hazard protection in one talent!
The agent Vukasin_Dordevic is already prepared for all status eventualities
The Hollow Man
Yaahl Gear Mask
2 attribute values
Perfectly Isolated: 50% hazard protection
How does the mask get to 100%? The named mask is part of the Dark Zone brand “Yaahl Gear” and comes with the perfect passive talent and two variable attributes. This firefighter helmet protects excellently against wind, weather, and disruptive status effects.
If one of these attributes is recalibrated to a hazard protection value over 50%, you can achieve an incredible 100% protection with just this one item. However, the mask can also serve as a solid hazard protection base, and the other values can be used according to your own build.
Named equipment comes from the Dark Zones
Where do I get the firefighter helmet? This situation is a bit tricky. “Yaahl Gear” is not part of the regular loot pool and currently has no area for targeted loot. This brand is exclusively reserved for Dark Zone activities.
However, there are two ways to increase the chances of obtaining the item.
Looting – Masks are indeed part of the targeted loot system. So if a Dark Zone offers increased chances for masks, the chance of obtaining a “Hollow Man” mask increases significantly.
The likelihood of “Named Items” increases with the difficulty of the activities. Thus, the chance for one of these special masks is even greater in the “Occupied Dark Zones.”
Shopping – Keep an eye on the Thieves Den vendor’s offerings.
The “Thieves Den Vendor” comes with a named item from the Dark Zone each week. You can see on the mega-map in which of the unoccupied zones he is located. However, the fence is not so easily caught.
The mask unfortunately does not protect against the beautiful distractions in the game
Hazard protection can be extremely helpful
Am I actually protected from all status changes? An agent with 100% hazard protection is protected from the negative effects of ongoing disruptions. However, the protection only applies to the debuff. Fire or poison continues to deal damage if you stay in the affected area.
You are protected from these status changes:
Burning
First armor, then health damage
Poisons
Health damage
Confusion
Controls are difficult, visibility disturbed
Shock
Out of cover and incapacitated
Blindness or deafness
No sight / no sound
EMP disruption
Devices are destroyed and skill usage is blocked
Bleeding
Health damage over time
Sticking
Movement but not combat incapable
However, some very unpleasant characters still have a few nasty trump cards up their sleeve. The otherwise helpful chemical mixture from the “Oxidizer” can sometimes be used by enemies as well, and even the ultimate hazard protection mask won’t help you there.
How much hazard protection do you include in your build? Is 100% even necessary?
In Fortnite, the Nightmare Event is currently running. There are several Nightmare challenges to complete. In one challenge, you need to defeat the Storm King. We will show you how to do that.
What is the task? In one of the Nightmare challenges, you must defeat the Storm King. In another challenge, you need to hit its weak points. It’s best if you solve the tasks together.
Where can you find the Storm King? There is a limited-time mode in which you are to defeat the Storm King. You can find this mode among the available modes.
What reward do you receive? If you manage to defeat the Storm King, you will receive a glider as a reward.
This glider is available as a reward:
Defeating the Storm King – Here’s how
How do you defeat the Storm King? You will work together with other players to defeat the Storm King. It is not easy to achieve this.
If you can, grab a different weapon beforehand, as you only have a grey pistol available otherwise. Then, swim to the middle of the island where the Storm King is located.
Now you need to work together to deal a lot of damage. You need to shoot the weak points that appear in golden color.
If you have destroyed several weak points, you move on to the next phase. Now you need to shoot the horns of the Storm King.
In the last phase, you must deal as much damage to the Storm King as possible until its health bar is completely depleted. Only then is the king defeated.
Tip: Destroy the spawn cubes so you don’t have to deal with the monstrosities. Once all cubes are destroyed, no more monstrosities will appear, and you can focus solely on the Storm King.
Hit the weak points of the Storm King
What do you have to do? You need to shoot the weak points that appear in golden color. This will deal damage to the Storm King. In total, you should deal 10,000 damage to the weak points.
How to do this best? A assault rifle is the most effective, as it also deals significant damage over longer distances.
After that, always aim for the golden weak points. The better you hit, the faster the health bar of the weak points decreases.
Have you already defeated the Storm King? Or has it not worked yet?
