A trailer for Fortnite has appeared for Chapter 2. The new season will be called “Fortnite Chapter 2 – Season 1,” not Season 11. The trailer showcases many new features that fans can expect after the “Fortnite Down” event. However, Epic is reportedly deleting the leaked trailer as quickly as people post it online.
What kind of trailer is it? It is apparently the new trailer for the “Fortnite Battle Pass.” The trailer lasts about 30 seconds. The site “SkinTracker.com” has spread it via Twitter.
It is apparently not intended for players to see the trailer yet.

Epic deleted the trailer immediately – however, there were already some mirror downloads circulating. We were able to view the trailer early from MeinMMO via YouTube.
Update 10:58 PM: Epic has apparently released the trailer as the Twitter account that originally leaked it states. Epic apparently could no longer remove the trailer from the internet.
In Fortnite you will soon be able to fish for level-ups
The big marketing slogan of the trailer is that there are now “More ways to level up in Fortnite.” It shows that there are level-ups or an upgrade of various medals when you
kill an enemy – that gives an upgrade of the “Battle Medal”
open and loot a chest – it will be called “Scavenger Medal Upgraded”
harvest resources like a tree – “Survivor Medal Upgraded”
fish – here the player leveled up to 127 in the trailer.
Additionally, it will be possible to explode a gas tank by shooting at it. In the video, a player blows up a gas station.
The gas tank then deals damage to nearby enemies. This also granted an upgrade for the “Battle Medal” since the player eliminated 4 enemies during the match.
Pogo sticks, hula hoops, and motorboats
What else is shown? The trailer apparently shows the new map of Fortnite. It looks quite idyllic with mountains and lakes.
There are “Pogo-Sticks” that you can ride on. They look like small llamas. Also, there are hula hoops that spin around your hips.
A nasty trick may be that you can hide in a dumpster and then attack enemies from behind. Additionally, you will be able to carry players.
Fortnite “goes underwater” in Chapter 2
Motorboats were shown as a new vehicle. Players shot at each other from the boats. And you can see how a player dives into the water with a diving jump.
This probably means: Water will soon be a usable area in Fortnite. This also fits with the fishing.
There are said to be over 100 new rewards in the Battle Pass.
The Battle Pass trailer usually focuses on cosmetic upgrades and gameplay changes. Therefore, this should represent some of the most important improvements in Fortnite.
In Pokémon GO there are now over 500 Pokémon, making it difficult to keep track of them all. However, one monster is now missing: Paras seems to no longer appear.
This has been observed: On Reddit , the trainer Shipoffools1 posted his observations and explained that his community has been missing Paras for several days. No one has seen it, and now he is asking players on Reddit if they might have encountered Paras.
The opinions here are all the same: Paras has not been found for several days. The Pokémon seems to no longer be appearing in the wild.
Searching for Paras – A One-Off Case?
What players are reporting: The search for Paras is receiving a lot of support on Reddit. You can find over 250 comments under the thread. The responses are always the same: I haven’t seen any Paras either.
Paras seems to have disappeared
It is notable that the evolution Parasek is still found. So it seems to be only Paras itself that is not appearing.
Are there further cases of this? It is hard to say whether other Pokémon are currently missing. After all, there are so many Pokémon in the wild, making it difficult to keep track. Currently, however, only Paras is being discussed.
Is it perhaps just bad luck with the spawns? Of course, there is no guarantee that Paras has currently been removed from the spawn pool, but no player has yet proven otherwise.
The Reddit channel has nearly 500,000 members and none of them have reported a Paras so far.
The fans of Pokémon GO are currently annoyed with Niantic. A new feature is only available for Wizards Unite:
Does the mobile game “Coin Master” introduce children to gambling addiction? At least that’s what Jan Böhmermann suspects in his show Neo Magazin Royale – the Federal Review Board is now responding.
Mobile games have been all the rage for several years now and can be found on pretty much every display. However, what thousands of players, often children, play is not always immediately clear at first glance. In his show “Neo Magazin Royale,” satirist Jan Böhmermann took a look at a popular mobile game and concludes: Children are being taken money out of their pockets and are being deliberately made receptive to gambling.
As an example, the game “Coin Master,” which often ranks high in the App Store, usually at number 1. It is extremely popular.
What is Coin Master? Coin Master is a mobile game with cute graphics that is clearly aimed at a younger audience. In terms of gameplay, it resembles many other mobile games. Players can build their own villages and raid other players’ villages.
Most actions in the game, however, cost coins, the namesake coins. Depending on the app store, the game is rated at 16 or “17+”, but was previously available without age restriction.
What is the problem? The coins are limited in Coin Master. They are primarily received when the player plays on a virtual one-armed bandit. However, players can only use it a few times per hour, which severely limits the acquisition of coins.
However, those who wish can play on the machines much more frequently if they pay real money for it. Depending on the offer, this can cost up to €109.99.

Böhmermann criticizes game content, advertising, and developers’ intentions
Jan Böhmermann criticizes several aspects of Coin Master. He believes that these games are only developed to acclimate children and young people to gambling from an early age so that they later take their money to casinos. He supports this statement, among other things, by pointing out that the investors behind the development of Coin Master are largely involved in gambling businesses, one of whom founded the sports betting site bwin, while another led a massive offering of online casinos.
Actually, there are strict rules for gambling in Germany, which can only be played by adults and only under compliance with many regulations. However, this does not apply to Coin Master and its one-armed bandits.
Why isn’t this gambling? Playing the one-armed bandit in the game does not constitute gambling under German law. For that, all 3 criteria must be met simultaneously:
Real money stake
Real money winning possibility
Outcome based on chance
In Coin Master (and similar apps), not all 3 conditions are met because you cannot win real money. In some cases, the outcome is also not based on chance but on an algorithm. Therefore, such games are not considered gambling and are still accessible to minors.
Advertising by Influencers is inappropriate: Another point of criticism is Coin Master’s advertising campaign. In various clips, well-known influencers can be seen playing the game. Among them are famous YouTubers like Bibi from Bibis Beauty Palace, Simon Desue, but also Dieter Bohlen and musician Pietro Lombardi.
Especially the influencers primarily have a teenage audience that is to be guided to gambling-like activities.
How Böhmermann achieved a response from the authorities
In his show, Böhmermann called on his viewers to file a complaint with the Federal Review Board for Youth-Endangering Media (BPjM). This can only be done by educational institutions (like schools) or authorities in such cases.
The call was successful: Just a few days after the call, Böhmermann was able to record a success. Because as reported by GameStar, the BPjM has received “a multitude of applications or suggestions for the indexing of the game”. As a result, Coin Master is now being reviewed by the authority for its youth-endangering character.
Coin Master is a special case: It also appears from BPjM’s statement that Coin Master is, in fact, a special case. Normally, applications involve cases of glorification of violence or pornography. However, in Coin Master’s case:
The use of loot boxes in video games and gambling simulations is discussed in the context of gambling, promoting media addiction behavior, and cost traps on the internet.
In contrast to the traditional jurisdiction of the BPjM, the risks for children and adolescents in this case do not primarily arise from the actual content of the game, but from the special game setup.
Could it soon be banned for children? It is possible.
It must be noted that Coin Master is by far not the only game of its kind. Referring to it as a “special case” could therefore create a false impression. It may be a special case for the Federal Review Board because it usually receives different reports – however, Coin Master is certainly not a “special case” in mobile gaming.
In many mobile games, it is common to have a waiting time component that can be bypassed by using real money. A similar principle often exists with treasure chests that can be opened or energy supplies that can be restored.
These methods have been increasingly criticized in recent years – especially within the gaming scene.
Thanks to Böhmermann, this kind of game may now be brought more into the public eye. And maybe it will help some parents protect their children from these gambling traps.
What do you think about such games? Should they be banned, or should they not be accessible to minors? Or should we take it all lightly?
Gambling and loot boxes are a topic that comes up time and again:
In Destiny 2, Izanagi’s Burden is one of the best weapons available. However, many new Guardians are currently unable to obtain this exotic sniper due to game bugs. You can read about the issues and what the weapon can do here.
With Shadowkeep , many changes have been made to the Destiny universe. One of these changes involves the Forges of the Black Armory and the associated gear.
What are the Forges? The Forges are three-player activities with matchmaking, where waves of enemies must be defeated, culminating in a boss fight. The Forges were introduced with the “Black Armory” DLC in December 2018 for Destiny 2. The Forges were gradually unlocked.
The special thing about them is that one can repeatedly farm one of the exclusive “Black Armory” weapons.
This is new since Shadowkeep: There are four completely different Forges. With the latest expansion, players no longer have access to all Forges at once. There is a rotating schedule that determines which of the four locations can be visited.
In this context, Bungie responded to a request from the Guardian community: The Forges can be selected from orbit. Previously, you had to land on Nessus or the EDZ and tediously travel to the starting point by Sparrow or on foot.
The reduction to only one active Forge at a time seems to be intended to prevent unnecessarily lengthy matchmaking.
Previously, the Gofannon Forge was found on Nessus
The Forges are not running smoothly
This is the current problem: In addition to the legendary weapons, there are also exotic Forge weapons. Two of them are now much easier to acquire. The exotic sniper Izanagi’s Burden is the third weapon and awaits you at the end of a long quest. And this quest seems to be bugged and hardly solvable at the moment.
Some of the complaints are:
Bugs and even freezes (the screen “freezes”) occur frequently. As a result, the completion of the activity is not counted.
To progress in the quest, certain tasks must be completed in various Forges. Due to the rotation, Guardians have to wait unnecessarily long for the required Forge.
During the quest, you need to complete a rare bounty. This can drop randomly when you redeem daily bounties. However, not all daily bounties can be completed as some are specific to only one Forge.
The necessary “Black Armory Key” required for completion is not findable. Players should actually receive a corresponding schematic from Ada-1. New Destiny 2 players end up empty-handed with the key. Originally, the quest item was received after all four Forges were opened sequentially. Since all Forges are now immediately available, the process of opening is missing.
This is what the community says: On reddit, a discussion on the topic currently has nearly 8000 upvotes and over 850 comments. Players complain that the process of switching to only one active Forge was not well thought out and makes completing the quest “Mysterious Box” impossible for new players.
We have collected some comments here:
Fizjig: “I have been stuck on the ‘rare’ bounty step for ages. I never got one and now I think I will never manage, as broken as the Forges are.”
Big_Tie: “The worst part is that Izanagi is completely meta right now. So every new player wants to get it, and it’s being made damn near impossible for them.”
With a touch of optimism, jori2dope writes: “Finally, the topic is on the front page! Thank God”
What does Bungie say about this? The developer of Destiny has been rather tight-lipped so far. In the official Bungie forum, it simply says, “Thank you for the report. We are currently looking into the issue.”
When the problem will be fixed or how long the solution will take is currently still up in the air.
Short and sweet
Reward for the Effort – Izanagi’s Burden
This is the powerful weapon in question: What makes Izanagi’s Burden special? The sniper rifle is the only exotic sniper in the kinetic slot and requires special ammunition. The weapon has a fire rate of 90, placing it in the middle between rapid-fire snipers and the slow but hard-hitting sniper rifles like Whisper of the Worm.
The unique exotic perk is: Honed Edge – When you hold the reload button, the magazine is consumed, and you receive a round with increased range and more damage.
If you condense your four-shot magazine into one powerful shot, the new projectile deals five times (5x) damage. With the exotic catalyst, the damage of “Honed Edge” is even increased to six times (6x).
Rewards Precision – Izanagi’s Burden
This is how you use the weapon: Essentially, you fire six bullets at once with just one shot. This carries a high risk, as if you miss, you’ve wasted a lot of ammunition. But the risk is worth it. Currently, Izanagi’s Burden is the strongest burst damage weapon in the game. This means the rifle deals the highest damage with just a single shot.
The weapon is classified in the kinetic slot and does not therefore take up the power weapon slot. So, for example, you do not have to forfeit the currently very powerful grenade launchers such as Wendigo GL3.
That Izanagi’s Burden earns its place in the loadout for endgame activities is demonstrated to you by Clan Redeem member Ehroar here:

The Halloween Event 2019 in Pokémon GO has been announced! For the first time, Darkrai will be available in raids, and Shiny Makabaja is making its debut!
What kind of event is this?As previously teased, there will also be a Halloween event in 2019. This time, numerous bonuses will be available in Pokémon GO, and the highlight will be the new raid boss Darkrai.
When is the event running? The bonuses will last for 2 weeks, from October 17 at 10 PM, this Thursday, to November 1 at 10 PM.
Everything about the Halloween Event 2019
These are the bonuses: A huge load of bonuses awaits you within the 2 weeks. These include:
Makabaja comes to the game and appears directly as Shiny in Pokémon GO
Darkrai will appear in level 5 raids and replace Giratina
Ghost and Dark-type Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild
Double candies for catching, hatching, and sending
New field research will come to the game
The special research “A Creepy Message” returns and presumably rewards Kryppuk again
Pokémon with special costumes can be caught in raids and in the wild
New shadow Pokémon will come to the game
3 new Pokémon come to the game
What new Pokémon are coming? So far, only Makabaja and its evolution Echnatoll and the mysterious Pokémon Darkrai are known as new Pokémon. No further Pokémon have been mentioned in the announcement.
This is what the Shiny of Makabaja looks like.
It is interesting that Darkrai will appear in regular raids since it is a mythical Pokémon. Such monsters have only been available in EX raids or special research previously.
However, in an announcement video for the event, Niantic also showed Pokémon like Lichtel and Golbit. They would also fit the event:

What is known about the special research? In their announcement, Niantic mentioned that a creepy message has been left. This was also the title of the special research for the 2018 event, which rewarded Kryppuk.
Furthermore, Niantic states that you might encounter a forbidden Pokémon. Kryppuk is also mentioned.
These costume Pokémon are coming: Not only Pikachu can wear hats! For Halloween, the starters from the 1st generation will also wear costumes. They include:
Bisasam with Ninjatom costume
Glumanda with Tragosso costume
Schiggy with Makabaja costume
Pikachu with Mimikyu costume
All of these Pokémon can also appear in their shiny form. You can see their costumes in our title picture.
14 new shadow Pokémon are coming
Which shadow Pokémon are coming? A whole bunch of new shadow Pokémon are coming to the game. These include:
Hornliu, Kokuna, Bibor
Elektek
Magmar
Lapras
Voltilamm
Samurzel, Blanas
Zobiris
Knacklion
Tuska
Shuppet
Zwirrlicht
What is known about the spawns? Here, Niantic only mentions ghost and dark-type Pokémon and also names the two monsters Nebulak and Kramurx.
However, there are various other Pokémon that would fit. For example, Traunfugil, Zwirrlicht, Zobiris, Shuppet, and Driftlon, all of which can be shiny. They are also ghost-type Pokémon. So these monsters would be ideal for the Halloween event.
As dark-type Pokémon, Alola Rattfratz, Sniebel, Hunduster, Fiffyen, and Kanivanha could work. They can also all be shiny.
There was incorrect information here: Some players were shown that a raid day with Alola-Knogga would take place. This was just a mistake, as Niantic has now confirmed. So there will be no raid day.

This is what you get for your avatar: In line with the event, there will also be various outfits available for purchase in the shop. This way, you can set your avatar in a Halloween mood.
The event is likely to make many players happy. Recently, there was a stir:
The world of Fortnite has been swallowed by a black hole, rendering the game unplayable since then. This has caused a wave of various reactions online.
Since then, Fortnite has been unplayable, and fans trying to log in only see a black hole. This event has gone viral, even provoking reactions from people and organizations that have nothing to do with Fortnite.
From parents to astrophysicists to Pornhub – Everyone is talking about Fortnite
How are those affected reacting? The “blackout” of Fortnite is not just affecting the game itself. The Twitter and Facebook accounts of Fortnite also only show the image of the black hole. In the thousands of comments, you can find the most diverse reactions to the event.
Especially many parents commented under the posts, thanking Epic for “the peace.” Some also shared how their children reacted to the collapse of the Fortnite universe. Facebook user Jule. K wrote, for example:
I, as a mom of 2 playing kids, enjoy the peace. My kids were very shocked and could barely put it into words. But I’m also curious about what happens next…
Meanwhile, Fortnite players are onto a new development that provides new information about the story of the game:
On Twitter, user Tim Nesmith even captured his son’s reaction live and posted it in a series of tweets. The boy is shocked and doesn’t understand what has happened to his game. The father is enjoying himself:
The official Fortnite subreddit has also changed its design in line with the event, now also black with the image of the black hole in the header. They are following the trend set by Fortnite on their social media channels.
The Reddit thread on the topic now has nearly 35,000 comments filled with speculation and theories about what might happen next with Fortnite. There is general excitement but also impatience that the game has been unplayable for many hours.
I didn’t think I was addicted to Fortnite, but my behavior in the last three hours proves otherwise.
How does the rest of the internet react? The black hole from Fortnite has not only sucked in active players and their parents. People and organizations that actually have no connection to the game have also commented on the event.
Leading the charge was once again the internet platform Pornhub, which has frequently tweeted about various events in gaming and pop culture in the past.
In a brief tweet, Pornhub said: “We have better holes to stare at,” adding the Fortnite hashtag:
The well-known astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson also tweeted about the event. Tyson is known for his research on black holes and could not miss this topic.
He wrote: “Did your Fortnite game suck you and everything else into a black hole? I can’t help you there. But death by black hole is possible, and there might even be an entire universe on the other side.”
Did your @fortnitegame suck you & everything else into a black hole?
Can’t help you there.
But death-by-black-hole is a thing, and there might even be an entire universe on the other side.https://t.co/Toio6gpgdv
Also, MeinMMO readers who don’t actually play Fortnite have commented on the event. Many think it’s cool that Epic is doing something unique with the black hole and are following the news about the event, even though they are not active players.
Our reader M.Z. wrote in his comment, for example:
From a marketing perspective, they are really amazing; what they offer their players is fantastic. Other developers could really take a page from this … Personally, I’m not a fan of EPIC/FORTNITE, but for this action, they deserve praise and recognition. Hats off!
There have also been countless memes making fun of the fact that Fortnite players will finally see the light of day again after years thanks to the blackout. Others find it funny that millions of people have stared at a black hole on their screens for hours.
“Best to leave it off entirely”
However, there are also many dissatisfied reactions, both from active players and their parents, as well as from people who do not like Fortnite.
These are the negative voices: On social media and in forums, many players express their dissatisfaction with the event. People are annoyed that the blackout has been going on for over 18 hours and want to play again.
Dear Epic Games team, you’ve made us wait since last evening to see what happens. A black hole, nothing more.
Not even “Save the World” works anymore, even though I bought the game for 40€! My friends and I are really upset with you and your colleagues; it was a game that was really fun in the evening!
Lara H. on Facebook
Epic has not officially commented on the end of the event yet, and there are only speculations about when the black hole will disappear and what will come next. However, players are starting to get impatient.
This is what Fortnite looks like right now
On the other hand, there are also people who do not like Fortnite and openly express that the game should never be playable again.
In the comments on Facebook, for example, someone said, “Best to leave it off entirely.” And there are also some readers who do not like Fortnite. Our reader TNB, for example, wrote in the comments:
It would be so nice if it were really over.
Meanwhile, Fortnite players are onto a new development that provides new information about the story of the game:
What is shown in the new video? The video titled “Sinister Passage” begins with the champion Lucian and his memories. These revolve around his wife Senna, whose soul was taken by Thresh.
After Lucian frees himself from his memories, he is seen sailing on a small boat towards an island. His destination is clearly the Shadow Isles, the home of Thresh.

Who will be the new champion? The teaser strongly indicates Lucian’s great love, Senna. Players speculate that when Thresh and Lucian meet, Senna’s soul will be freed.
Since the champion is supposed to be an unconventional marksman according to Riot’s statement for the end of 2019, this role would fit Lucian’s wife well. But there are even more clues.
What other clues are there? On Friday, LoL already released a short story about Lucian on the website. It is about the conflict he fights with Thresh, but also with himself. At the end of the story, he sets off to the Shadow Isles to carry out his final act.
In addition to the official information, players have also gathered further evidence on reddit:
Currently, at the start of the game, there is sometimes a mysterious fog in the game.
There was briefly a weekly mission on the PBE where players were supposed to play as Senna.
Additionally, there was briefly a new splash art on the PBE that could represent a skin for Senna.
Additionally, there is a special interaction between Lucian and Thresh. If both are in the game at the same time, Thresh already has collected a soul, namely that of Lucian’s wife.
This interaction seems to no longer exist since patch 9.20. Thresh now also starts with Lucian without a soul. Another indication that Senna’s soul has been freed.
The newly released Gears 5 features a cooperative mode that is popular among many players, where multiple players can complete a mission together. Those who let their teammates down now face quite severe penalties.
The problem is that the mission or a round is almost doomed to fail for the team as soon as someone leaves the group. Since their spot is not taken and remains empty, the other players can more or less give up on the round.
That’s why the penalties are so severe: Microsoft’s Director of Communications Dana Sissons states that these players “ruin the game for the other nine players they are playing with.” Those who start a round and then leave ruin the fun for everyone else.
According to investigations by Microsoft, some players have left 18 of their 21 started rounds early – and that within just one day. These players then received the full penalty immediately.
“Leavers” get a second chance:Some players have already received the 2-year ban and complained about it. They did not receive a warning but were simply banned.
Microsoft has responded and lifted the ban of the players “on probation.” While they can now play, if they leave another game early, the ban will be reactivated:

The CEO of Blizzard responded to the Hearthstone issue with Blitzchung. Cortyn, however, finds the response to be a bad joke.
Last week was quite a PR disaster for Blizzard. What started as a relatively unremarkable ban of a Hearthstone player turned into a massive boycott movement, supported tens of thousands of times across various forums.
A brief recap: The Hearthstone player Blitzchung wore a gas mask during a stream and expressed support for the protests in Hong Kong. Blizzard subsequently banned the player and the two casters of the interview. Blitzchung was banned for 1 year and his prize money was withheld, the casters were banned for life.
This caused days of uproar on social media until we received a message from J. Allen Brack, the CEO of Blizzard. The punishment was reduced to 6 months for casters and players, and the prize money will be paid out.
Moreover, there is a very long justification regarding the “decision-making” and repeated references to Blizzard’s “Core Values, ” which are the guiding principles of the company.
I want to clarify: I do not understand all the nuances of the China-Hong Kong conflict and do not want to give the impression that I can contribute an expert opinion in this situation. The topic is politically sensitive and reducing it to “Hong Kong wants to be free and China wants to integrate Hong Kong into the state” would be an extreme oversimplification. So this will only be touched upon briefly.
Blizzard’s statement is purely damage control without value
At first glance, J. Allen Brack’s statement is nothing special. He comments on the “Core Values,” stating that they stand by them clearly. He then explains in many detailed steps why they judged the way they did and what will be changed.
My favorite passage is the following (translated):
At Blizzard, we pursue the vision of “bringing the world together through epic entertainment.” And we have guiding values that apply here: ‘Think globally’, ‘Lead responsibly’, and importantly: ‘Every voice matters’, which we want to encourage everyone to express their perspective. Our actions over the weekend made people question whether we still stand by these values. We absolutely do, and I will explain that.
Yet exactly that is what he fails to do: Brack doesn’t explain how Blizzard stands by these core values.
Expressed somewhat exaggeratedly, he essentially says that everyone should express their opinion, but only on other channels. When opinions and perspectives can only be expressed on channels not belonging to the company, then that is simply not a company value.
J. Allen Brack – the head of Blizzard.
The rest of the statement mainly discusses that Blitzchung should receive his money because he played fairly and that the punishments were relaxed. He also explains the roles of all involved – both casters and players – in great detail and what their tasks are in a stream.
By the way: The statement is in no way an admission of guilt or an apology, which many players would have wished for. There are no words like “We apologize”, “We are sorry” or “We made a mistake”. And that becomes important shortly.
In summary, Blizzard does not want to be a platform for “controversial social and political views” and will continue to enforce this through tournament rules.
So far, so logical and clear. Right?
The Chinese statement says the exact opposite
What many do not know is that the statement from J. Allen Brack is not the only one that Blizzard has published.
Through the Chinese service Weibo, Blizzard’s official Hearthstone account also issued a statement. Blizzard operates in China with partner Netease, which is nonetheless Blizzard’s mouthpiece. In this post, they state that they are “very angry” about what happened. But especially the last sentence is particularly impressive, as it translates to:
We will always respect and defend the pride of our country.
If you want to position yourself as a neutral, global company, it is highly questionable if one of your statements is to “defend the pride of the country”.
This has also caught the attention of the community. The corresponding post still exists today and has not been deleted. It is very easy to say that you are politically neutral when in the respective countries you take sides where it is desired to appease the government.
This is not neutral. This is not apolitical.
Oddities in the statement itself
There are also a few details that might require one to put on their foil hats a bit tighter. The publication of Brack’s statement is dated October 12. However, at the time of publication, it was still October 11 in America. In some other time zones – like China – October 12 had already begun.
Moreover, many native English speakers say that Brack’s statement reads strangely. It contains phrases and expressions that one would not typically use if one is a native speaker.
Is this alone terrible? No. It is only logical that one meets with partners in China after such an incident to agree on strategy and weigh carefully what to say. But this reinforces the impression that it does not genuinely represent the words of the Blizzard CEO, whose opinion was so eagerly awaited, but rather a document crafted carefully with dozens of people to appease all sides and not offend anyone.
This would also explain why the statement does not mention at any point an admission of guilt or that a mistake was made. Because that could again be interpreted as being “against China”.
Yes, the Grandmasters signed a contract that states that penalties apply if they make statements that could offend any group. However, this clause is so vaguely worded that Blizzard could essentially interpret any sentence that way if they want.
In this specific case with politics, it would have been quite clear.
But this absence of politics is not something Blizzard adheres to in its own events either. Politics is simply a topic that permeates almost every event, especially for a globally operating company. An example? Blizzard, especially Overwatch, celebrated “Pride Day” quite strongly. It is mainly about the rights and equal treatment of LGBTQ+ individuals.
While I personally find the positioning and support, also through Overwatch’s lore, absolutely commendable, it is still a political statement. I believe that this could very well anger a demographic in countries like Russia or other more conservatively minded nations.
Nevertheless, casters are allowed to moderate in rainbow colors and the Overwatch League even distributed sweatbands in Pride colors on-site.
And that is precisely why I find J. Allen Brack’s statement so annoying. Politics and political statements have always been part of the gaming environment, sometimes more, sometimes less explicitly. Why is a Pride armband acceptable but a call for “Free Hong Kong” is not? Both are definitely political.
The answer is at least clear to me: With support for the Pride movement, one is primarily on the side of the fans. The overwhelming majority of the younger generation would likely support and approve of such things.
Mei became a symbol of protest – out of boycott against Blizzard.
With “Free Hong Kong”, however, there is concern about losing access to a market because in China, the state only needs to give a thumbs down, and Blizzard loses access to the entire country.
If J. Allen Brack stands up and says that they are not a platform for “controversial social or political views”, then in my eyes, that is nothing but hypocrisy.
I can absolutely understand that Blizzard does not want to lose the Chinese market and therefore behaves the way they do. But don’t try to sell the rest of the world as fools. Your players are not that stupid.
In the MMORPG Astellia, players are accompanied by the Astels. However, many treat them secondarily and only as a minor aspect, even though much can be gained from them. They even passively enhance the attributes of the player’s character.
About this guide: The guide aims to inform you about the most important features of the Astels. It starts with the basics such as AP costs or usage in combat.
Later on, it will also cover details such as upgrading the star levels or deck effects. There is also a tip for farming Astel cards included.
What are Astels? Astels are small companions that stand by you in the story and also in combat. They take on classic roles such as:
Tank
Healer
and Damage Dealer.
In combat, you can use up to three of them, ensuring you are never alone in the open world. They can also level up and perform combo attacks together with you.
Various Astels
Where to get Astels? Currently, 33 Astels are available to you, with two more announced for 2019. You can find Astels:
Throughout the story.
In dungeons.
As rewards in Star’s Tale.
If you have already found an Astel and receive it again as a reward in a dungeon or through Star’s Tale, the found card will be consumed and level up your Astel further.
How do Astels work? Once you find an Astel, it will be added to your Astel card (shortcut key “J”). From there, you can drag it into your active deck, the skill bar at the bottom. You can create up to 5 decks that you can switch through, but only the selected one counts as the active deck.
Astels from your deck can be summoned with a hotkey and will fight by your side. However, summoning them consumes AP, the yellow resource below your mana bar.

Maintaining an Astel also costs AP. You have enough natural regeneration to permanently summon one Astel. However, you can use up to three of them simultaneously in combat. But the AP gauge depletes quickly then.
What skills do Astels have? Each Astel has different skills that can be used in combat:
There are automatic skills that the Astels use independently.
Each Astel has a special skill that you as a player can activate. To do this, you either press the hotkey again or drag the skill into your bar.
Some Astels also have coop skills. These activate when the player has previously used a specific skill. The exact skill that must be used is indicated with each Astel.

What classes do Astels have? Interestingly, Astels have more classes to choose from than players do when creating their characters. There are:
It is important to note that the Astels also have different relationships with us. They can be divided into:
Servants – Skills of the Astels cost no AP.
Saviors – Summoning costs no AP, skills cost AP, they also only last for a certain time.
Guardians – Summoning costs more AP, skills cost AP.
However, the relationships are fixed from the beginning and cannot be changed. The first Astels you find in the game are all servants.

Improving My Astels
How do I upgrade the Astels? Astels are as complex as our character and have various ways to improve:
They have a level and level up just like the player character by killing mobs and completing quests. However, their level can never exceed that of the player.
Additionally, Astels have a star level, with some starting at level 1 and others already at level 5.
Moreover, the stats of the Astels can be enhanced by equipping star jewels.
How do the star levels work? Below the experience bar in the Astel menu, there is also a ZK bar. This indicates when an Astel levels up in star level.
The ZK bar increases only when you receive an Astel card and already possess the Astel. This happens through dungeons or achievements. Each card yields 10 ZK, making a level up very time-consuming.
Even though currently only 5 stars are displayed in the menu, it seems that Astels can be raised up to star level 10. To upgrade an Astel from level 1 to level 5, you need a total of 650 ZK and even 3,240 ZK to reach level 10.
The Astel Ram, a healer
The star level of the Astel influences both the player character and the usable star jewels.
How do star jewels work? Each Astel can be upgraded with star jewels. These actively enhance the attributes of the Astel. For this, 5 star jewels are used:
Alpha Star
Beta Star
Gamma Star
Delta Star
Epsilon Star
Each star provides different bonuses to the attributes. Once applied, they enhance the Astel but can also be easily removed again.
Once you have equipped all five different stars, you can permanently transfer the stats to the Astel. This makes the stars disappear, and the Astel receives a +1 next to its name. Such upgrades can be performed up to +5.

However, be aware that you cannot use every star jewel for every character. Physical Astels cannot use magic effects and vice versa. Additionally, the star jewels have different rarities.
What skins are available? Finally, you can also visually customize your Astels. There are skins that you can either find in-game or purchase in the real-money shop.
Additionally, there is the Karzas Arglist package, which unlocks all Astel skins for you for a limited time. However, skins do not affect the combat effectiveness of your Astels.
What influence do Astels have on the player character? The star level of the Astels plays an important role in the character’s attributes. These can be improved through value points.
The more stars your Astels have in total, the more value points you have. It is therefore worthwhile to collect many Astels as well as to increase the star level of already existing Astels.
Astellians and their companions
What are deck effects? In your deck, you can equip up to 8 Astels at the same time. They count as the active Astels and gain experience while the others do not.
They also have an active deck effect. Deck effects improve, for example:
The AP rate
The movement speed
Crafting and gathering effects
but also combat effects, such as instant spells or reduced cooldowns.
However, for these effects to activate, you need the right Astels in your deck, and they must have a high star level.

Tips for farming Astel cards: If you want to level up your Astels quickly, it is advisable to farm Astel cards in low-level dungeons. However, pay attention to the fact that in certain dungeons, only specific cards are available.
In the endgame, you also receive Star Caller’s Coins for daily and weekly quests. These can be exchanged in Maeville at a vendor for chests from which you can also obtain Astels.
For those who want to improve not only the Astels but also their own character, here’s a suitable guide:
After the live event on October 13, 2019, the servers of Fortnite are no longer reachable. In the game, you only see a black hole, and strange numbers appear. What do they mean?
What are these numbers? If you watch the game’s screen, you see a black hole. However, some numbers keep appearing that are supposed to tell us something.
Which numbers have appeared so far? So far, the numbers: 11, 146, 15, 62, 87, 14, 106, 2, 150, 69 have been seen. What could this mean?
Are these numbers a code?
What could the numbers mean? There are already several speculations about what these appearing numbers could mean. It is suspected to be a code from the Visitor.
If you take the words from the Visitor’s recordings, a complete sentence emerges. It says: “I was not alone. Others were outside the loop.”
It seems to refer to the others, the players who are now also outside the loop and can only see the black hole?
The data miner FortTory posted the number theory on Twitter:

How could the code continue? The data miner HYPEX has proposed a theory about how the code could continue. He thinks the next numbers would be: 69 (already mentioned), 146, 15, 36. These numbers would yield this sentence: “That was not planned.”
The next numbers would then be: 2, 172, 8, 160, 65. This would mean: “The zero point is now inevitable.”

But this is just a speculation, and it could be that the code will continue differently.
What does the Visitor want to tell us?
At the end of Season 4, the Visitor appeared and built a rocket, which he then launched. Something must have gone wrong because the Scientist came to repeat this event.
What are these recordings of the Visitor? The Visitor made 6 different recordings to remember his mistakes from the first rocket launch. These tapes could be collected during the Overtime Challenges and played back later.
Now these recordings are presumably supposed to reveal what the plan for the future of Fortnite will be.
The Visitor launched the rocket that then brought the rift and the cube.
When is Fortnite continuing? How long does the event last? We know:
Overwatch is officially being released for the Nintendo Switch and will be available in stores. Console fans can also purchase a box version of the game. However, this is empty and does not include a game module, only a code.
What’s in the box: For those purchasing the box version of Overwatch for the Switch, it only includes a code for downloading the game. A module will not be included.
This is supported by the descriptions of the boxes as well as notices on the US page of Amazon . In the original announcement of Overwatch for the Switch, it was already communicated:
The Overwatch: Legendary Edition for Nintendo Switch will be available as a physical version (with a download code for the game) as well as a digital version through the Nintendo eShop.
What size is the download? If you want to play Overwatch on the Switch, you need according to the description on Amazon 16GB of free storage. Additionally, players need a current subscription for Nintendo Switch Online.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
Overwatch
for Nintendo Switch
What makes the version special: With the porting of Overwatch to the Nintendo Switch, you are now allowed to play Overwatch almost anywhere you have internet. Install it on the Switch and just take it with you.
The controls work, similar to the versions on PS4 and Xbox One, partly through the regular controllers. However, the Switch version has a special feature: The motion sensors allow for a unique control, with which you can direct and tilt the crosshair or abilities.
The live event marking the end of Season 10 in Fortnite was a complete success. Over 6 million viewers were active on streaming platforms, watching the spectacle.
Only a small mini-game can be played there. There is nothing else going on in Fortnite at the moment. The interest in the event was huge, but in the end, millions of players watched a black hole for minutes.
So many viewers did the live event in Fortnite have
These are the numbers: Esports journalist Rod Breslau reports on Twitter that there were 6 million people on YouTube and Twitch alone. Additionally, there were over 1 million viewers on Twitter. He also doesn’t miss a jab at the streaming service Mixer, where there were only 37 viewers.

This would have likely been even more impressive if Twitch and Mixer hadn’t experienced server issues at the time. There were often lags and downtimes. YouTube, on the other hand, ran flawlessly and recorded by far the most viewers.

This was not taken into account: All these numbers are strong, but one has to consider that certainly many more players were logged into Fortnite and did not watch via a live stream.
How good are the numbers? Comparing the event with other live events, there have been better numbers. The live event of Season 6 surrounding the cube Kevin had 350,000 viewers alone in Ninja’s stream.
That’s why these numbers are important: Recently, Fortnite had massive declines in viewer numbers. Growth in games like WoW Classic or Minecraft had lowered the numbers for Fortnite. Even big streamers have been frequently checking out other games.
The live event marking the season’s end probably heightened the excitement. Millions of fans are eagerly waiting to see what emerges from the black hole and how Fortnite will proceed.
This is what makes it so special: It seems completely absurd what is currently happening in Fortnite. Epic has had peak numbers in their game for months, and then they simply show a black hole. Thousands of viewers have been watching it ever since.
A new patch for Borderlands 3 is expected soon. Both Mayhem Mode and the Vault Hunters seem to be facing new changes.
This is how the patch was announced: In a stream, Tyreen’s voice actor Eliza Melendez talked with Grant Kao, the Combat Designer of Borderlands 3. Among other things, they discussed an upcoming patch that is reportedly going to be bigger.
New Patch in Borderlands 3 Adjusts Mayhem Mode and Classes
What the patch will bring: The exact release date for the patch was not discussed by the two in the stream. However, Kao provided some insights into the contents of the patch. Like several hotfixes before, the new patch will likely address some quirks of the Vault Hunters.
Especially Zane will be changed: In particular, Agent Zane will be the focus of the patch. This is urgently needed because: Some of Zane’s abilities are quite bugged. Although a few of Zane’s skills were already corrected in the last hotfix, some are still missing for Zane to keep up in the endgame.
Zane should become stronger
In particular, Zane’s skills that make him stronger the faster he moves should be looked at more closely. Additionally, the longevity of his Digi-Clone is also set to be adjusted – as well as that of FL4K’s pets and Moze’s Iron Bear.
Mayhem Mode will also receive adjustments: Kao does not go into detail about the changes to Mayhem Mode in the stream. However, some modifiers are said to be adjusted. The adjustments to Mayhem Mode are intended to lead players to reconsider or optimize their builds for particularly challenging tasks.
However, it is not the goal for there to be unfair disadvantages. It is possible that weaker builds will be buffed rather than popular builds being weakened.
What about performance? In the past, several hotfixes have been somewhat criticized by the community. The problem: The patches tend to focus more on balancing rather than addressing performance issues – such as in split-screen.
Kao hinted in the stream that work on performance continues. Whether improvements will already be part of the upcoming patch remains unclear.
Will the upcoming patch further improve Borderlands 3? Here’s how the first month since release went:
Since Shadowkeep, there are artifacts in Destiny 2 that allow Guardians to become even stronger. These allow you to equip certain mods that are actually unique. However, a glitch bypasses this mechanic.
What kind of glitch is this? Through the discovered error, Guardians can apply the same modification of the new artifacts twice on a single piece of armor. This means the effect of certain mods is not simply doubled but even multiplied.
However, players need completely unmodified armor pieces for the same armor slot they want to modify twice through the glitch. This leads to truly powerful possibilities:

Is it worth the effort? Builds with double mods can deal devastating damage and can be even stronger than some crazy builds with the artifact already are. However, this still exploits a presumed error.
Bungie will likely eliminate this possibility in the near future. Therefore, relying too heavily on it is not advisable. However, for those who have difficulty in the new raid and do not want to cheat with grenades, this might make it easier for them at least for now.
Furthermore, we recommend not using the glitch at least for PvP, as it can lead to penalties such as game bans, which are hardly worth the short fun.
Artifacts and their Mods in Destiny 2
This is why the artifact becomes even stronger: As is common in many cases in Destiny, the effects of certain mods are not simply applied twice but multiply with each other. Particularly strong are, for example:
Breakthrough Lens (Chest mods, grants grenade charge on shield-breaker kills)
Ballistic Combo (Chest mod, grants melee charge on shield-breaker kills)
Thundercoil (Class item mod, grants bonus damage for Arc melee and grants super energy on finishers)
From the Depths (Class item mod, increases damage of next Void super on heavy injury)
Other mods, like those on the gloves, are hardly worth it.
In addition to all these effects, the new Armor 2.0 properties will also be applied to the abilities, which could allow for a grenade charge in less than four seconds.
However, for those who prefer to acquire strong loot fairly and improve themselves, there are some secret items to obtain:
At the LoL Worlds 2019, there was a true highlight match between SKT1 and Royal Never Give Up (RNG). These are two teams at the top of the world in League of Legends. Both teams showed great form. The shocker lasted over 42 minutes and was extremely close.
What a match it was! It was the second group match for both teams in the “Death Group C” at the LoL Worlds 2019 in Berlin:
Royal Never Give Up is a strong team from China , featuring the legendary ADC “Uzi”, who is considered one of the best players in the world. They also won their opening match.
Both teams are among the best in LoL. This is a matchup that could also be seen in a semi-final or final.
Star player Uzi and RNG won the MSI in 2018 and were considered favorites for the Worlds 2018
The Key Plays in the Match
How did the match go? SKT1 appears changed at this Worlds, as dotesports notes. Korean play has historically involved wearing down the opponent and methodically choking them out.
SKT1 dictated the game, choosing their team fights and managing to win them with superior play. The laning phase was relatively calm, but the mid-game and late-game decisions defined the games of League of Legends. However, with this style, Korea failed at the Worlds 2018.
The more aggressive “Solo Queue” style of the Chinese and Europeans triumphed. Here, players seek early decisions, relying on ganks and ambushes to turn small successes into significant advantages, allowing them to “snowball” the game, growing like an avalanche to overpower the opponent.
SKT1 showed in their match against Royal Never Give Up that they have adapted to this style in modern LoL. SKT1 now appears significantly more aggressive.

The action began as early as 7 minutes. When Faker hit level 6 with Twisted Fate, SKT1 started putting pressure on.
They initiated a team fight on the bot lane. But RNG immediately demonstrated that they were not pushovers, and the fight escalated to a 5vs5.
Faker was the first to die, giving Uzi the first blood on Xayah. But SKT1 also secured some kills. The first fight ended in a 3:3 stalemate, and both teams had to retreat.
He has been one of the best players in League of Legends for many years: Faker.
Faker’s Escape Earns Audience Applause
A spectacular play was Faker’s escape.
Faker was the only one from SKT1 still alive, while 3 opponents from RNG remained at 18:38 minutes.

How did the match end? In the final minutes, there was a “backdoor” play. This is when the opponent arrives too late to their own funeral.
Three players from SKT1, Faker, Khan, and Teddy, unexpectedly teleport into RNG’s base and tear down the Nexus before they could react and teleport back.
That was a stunt that made SKT1 quite happy at that moment, as seen in the players’ reactions.

The Korean site Inven declared Clid from SKT1 as the player of the match on Gragas. The jungler was able to exert constant pressure on opponents with the feared explosive barrel – that’s Gragas.
Faker finished the match with 5/5/8 on Twisted Fate
Uzi achieved 11/5/8 on Xayah.
Overall, RNG had a slight advantage at 23:18 – but SKT1 won the match nonetheless.
What’s next? In the groups, each team will play 6 matches. Each team has now completed their first 2 matches:
SKT1 leads with 2-0.
Fnatic and RNG both sit at 1-1.
Clutch Gaming is already weak at 0-2.
The best 2 teams will advance. The rematch between RNG and SKT1 will take place on October 19.
Grinding Gear Games has announced that fans of the hack ‘n’ slash Path of Exile can expect something big for the December update.
What update is it about? Version 3.9.0 of the action RPG Path of Exile is planned for December. It is actually supposed to be a new season with corresponding content that belongs to this season.
What has changed? Grinding Gear Games has now announced that the scope of update 3.9.0 is larger than expected. Players can expect a kind of add-on.
A comprehensive update
What will 3.9.0 include? The team does not want to reveal too much yet, but they believe that the content will not be limited to the season itself, as was the case with past updates. The new content will generally affect the game. Thus, the December update will be the largest expansion of the action RPG this year.
What is known about the update so far? In addition to the content that is supposed to apply to the entire game, there will, of course, be a new season.
Grinding Gear Games does not want to reveal too much about the new season yet. However, it is supposed to be something that has not been technically possible before and that the developers have wanted to do for a long time. The content will affect the endgame and provide a good balance of risk and rewards.
In addition, the update will introduce new items that will affect your character builds.
The team will also overhaul the bows to better balance ranged fighters. However, these optimizations are not as extensive as the adjustments to melee combatants recently.
New skills, balancing adjustments, and additional divination cards will also be included in the update.
When will version 3.9.0 be released? Currently, it is planned to release the update on December 7. However, this date could be postponed if further work is necessary.

When will we see more of the new update? Grinding Gear Games will provide participants of ExileCon with a test version of the new version and will reveal more about this expansion and the future of Path of Exile at the event, including the big expansion 4.0. ExileCon will take place on November 16 and 17.
How are players reacting to the announcement? Opinions are somewhat divided. While many are looking forward to a larger update with more content, past updates have brought many issues with them. These include crashes, lags, and performance drops.
Many fans of Path of Exile hope that the developers do not overextend themselves, so that the next update does not cause such problems again.
On Sunday, October 13th, the live event of Season 10 took place. Since then, all we see is a black hole. When will Fortnite continue? We don’t know.
What happened to Fortnite? Yesterday, the live event in Fortnite took place. The rocket was launched and a black hole sucked everything and everyone in. Since then, the servers have been unreachable and all we see is a black hole.
This is how Fortnite looks right now
What happens next with Fortnite?
How long will this event last? Officially, it is still unknown when and how Fortnite will continue. Epic Games has not given any hints or commented on it so far.
There are a lot of speculations circulating about how it could continue. Some players think:
Fortnite might be over
Save the World will be free
It is just a bridge during the downtime, until the next season or Fortnite 2 starts
Epic wants to maintain the suspense and draw attention to their game
Leaks about the event: The data miner Lucas7yoshi found a file that suggests the event will last until Tuesday. However, shortly after, the date was changed to October 17th. That would be on Thursday.
This is the leak:

However, it is hard to believe that Epic would keep the game this way until Thursday. Players could then not play for 4 days.
What does Epic say about the future of Fortnite?
Epic Games has not commented at all on this ongoing event and the future of Fortnite so far. On the official Twitter page of Fortnite, all posts related to Fortnite Battle Royale have been deleted. Only a live stream of the event is still visible on the page.
Also, on the Epic Games page, no more information is displayed, but only a live stream of the event.
If you still want to play something to pass the time, here’s a guide to the secret mini-game in Fortnite:
The professional player Blitzchung was banned from the Grandmasters of Hearthstone for 6 months. You can find out how he reacted after the reduction of the punishment here.
Last week, Hearthstone player Blitzchung was banned by Blizzard from the Grandmasters League after he spoke out during a stream about the protests in Hong Kong. Although Blizzard reduced the 12-month ban to 6 months and Blitzchung will also receive his previously earned prize money, there is still dissatisfaction within the community.
Now Blitzchung himself has commented on the incident and issued a statement.
What does Blitzchung say? In his statement, Blitzchung explains that he was aware that his actions would have consequences.
First of all, I’m glad that Blizzard reconsidered its position on my ban. Earlier in the week, I had already told the media that I knew the consequences of my actions could be a punishment because I understood that my act would divert the conversation from the purpose of the event.
In the future, I will be more careful and express my opinions and my support for Hong Kong on private platforms.
This clearly shows that he was fully aware of the risks to his career.
Does Blitzchung find the new punishment appropriate? In the course of his explanation, Blitzchung states that he welcomes the reduction of the punishment, but still considers it quite long.
(…) Blizzard changed the duration of the ban from a year to 6 months. I also welcome that they reconsidered it. To be honest, 6 months is still quite long for me. But I was also told that I can continue to play in Hearthstone professional matches, which means they refer to the Grandmaster tournament.
I welcome this decision, because Grandmaster is currently the tournament with the highest level of play in competitive Hearthstone. But I hope that Blizzard will reconsider the punishment for the two casters.
The two mentioned casters were also banned for 6 months and are not allowed to comment on tournaments for Blizzard during this time.
Their punishment was already eased; previously, they were to be banned from working for Blizzard for life.
Does Blitzchung still play Hearthstone? Although the duration of the ban has been reduced, Blitzchung does not yet know if he wants to play Hearthstone again in the future. At the end of his statement, he writes:
Lastly, many people wanted to know if I would compete in Hearthstone again in the future. Honestly, I still have no idea. Since my next tournament is likely the Grandmaster tournament of the next season, that’s still a few months away. I will take the time to relax a bit and decide whether or not I want to stay in the competitive Hearthstone scene.
With the launch of the free version of Destiny 2 named “New Light”, a lot of new Guardians have entered the game. What important tips would you give them?
What’s happening in Destiny 2 right now? Since October 1st, interested gamers can play the free version of Destiny 2, New Light, on Steam and consoles.
The new players have access to a lot of content from the earlier years and seasons of Destiny 2. This includes, for example.
What is this survey about? This also means that many new inexperienced players are now navigating the servers of Destiny 2. They don’t know, for example, how to activate heroic public events or what to consider in PvP. And this is where you come into play.
What things should new players pay attention to, in your opinion? Share your knowledge in the comments below the article that has been honed through many years of playing Destiny 2. This applies to all areas of the game, whether PvE, PvP or even in simple matters like inventory and resource management.
Or are there perhaps unwritten rules among Guardians that one should follow out of courtesy? It can be frustrating for veterans when new players inadvertently hinder their progress due to ignorance. How could such situations be avoided?
Share in the comments what experiences and habits you have collected in Destiny 2 that have proven to be truly useful over time, including regarding future expansions.
This is how the survey will be evaluated: Once the survey is concluded on October 18th, we will collect and evaluate your posted tips and tricks. The best and most useful advice will be compiled into a list and processed in a separate article. Of course, we will quote you in the process.
So, let it out: What do you think are the best tips and tricks that could be given to new players? What are your secret tactics to progress through Destiny 2?
