This Saturday, the Community Day with Pokémon GO features Dratini. Now the move for its evolution Dragonair is also known.
The move in question: As usual, there will be a special move for Dratini’s evolution Dragonair during the upcoming Community Day.
Dragonair will be able to learn the special move Earth Power this Saturday. How strong will Dragonair be with this attack?
Dratini is the focus of the Community Day
Dragonair with Earth Power – How strong will it be
Is the move worth it? Definitely. Earth Power is a strong ground move and deals significant damage. With this attack, Dragonair will catch up to the best ground attackers.
Pokémon like Groudon, Excadrill, or Rhyperior will still remain slightly more effective in raids than Dragonair. However, it will be significantly more useful than before.
Even if Dragonair becomes strong, it won’t surpass Groudon, for example
How do I get the move? As usual, you will get the special move of this Community Day by evolving Vibrava into Dragonair.
However, you need to catch the right timing: The Community Day runs on Saturday, October 12, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Afterwards, you still have up to two hours to get Dragonair with Earth Power.
The special move is available only if you evolve Vibrava into Dragonair between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM.
What else does the Community Day offer? You will find Dratini more frequently in the wild. You can also encounter the Pokémon in raids. Additionally, it will hatch from 2-kilometer eggs that you receive at PokéStops during the event.
With luck, you might also encounter a shiny Dratini, whose evolutions will also have the alternative coloring. It can be assumed that on this Community Day the chance of finding a shiny is about 1 in 25.
While people here can happily catch Dratini in the wild this coming Saturday, those on this island would be glad to encounter a wild Pokémon at all:
These new contents are coming to PC: The new version is expected to come with various new contents. For example, with new bounty hunter missions:
The character Herman Zizendorf has robbed traders and can be hunted in Blackwater.
You can meet Camille de Millemont at Catfish Jacksons.
Bart Cavanaugh has set up camp in Big Valley.
In addition, there will be two new gang hideouts and two new treasure maps.
New weapons and horses are also included: On PC, you can use some new weapons. Some of them are already known from Red Dead Online, which will now be transferred to the offline world. Included are:
M1899 pistol
Evans Repeater
High Roller Revolver
Le Mat Revolver
Additionally, you will get some new mounts and new versions of already known horses. New among them are:
Warped Brindle Arabian
Few Spot Appaloosa
Perlino Andalusian
Red Chestnut Arabian
Moreover, there will be some new trinkets with which you can improve your stats.
This is what the pre-order bonus brings you
What pre-order customers get: In addition to some in-game items, pre-order customers can also snag two free games in the Rockstar Games Launcher. You can choose from:
GTA 3
GTA Vice City
GTA San Andreas
Bully – Scholarship Edition

Max Payne 3 – The Complete Edition
From October 23, the game will also be available for pre-order in other stores. The game will also be a launch title on Google Stadia:
With Shadowkeep, Destiny 2 has also received a new raid: The Garden of Salvation. In this raid, many challenges and tough bosses await for 6 players. However, a group of players has completed the raid with just three members.
Who are these players? The group of guardians is centered around the well-known player and Destiny YouTuber Gladd. Gladd has already made a name for himself in the community, including mastering one of the hardest missions with a drum set.

For the raid, they only needed about 45 minutes. This is also less than some players with a regular 6-man team need. However, they did not earn the “First Kill”. As the first team, Ascension fully mastered the Garden of Salvation.
Three players against the
probably toughest boss
Why is this such an impressive achievement? The Garden of Salvation is currently a particularly tough nut to crack for many players. Raids themselves are the pinnacle of PvE in Destiny and the most challenging content in this area.
Especially the boss “Consecrated Mind, Sol Nature” is considered very challenging. The boss requires mechanics where a group must coordinate extremely well, such as:
Opening portals
Defending towers
Repelling waves of enemies that can knock out guardians with a single hit
Dodging attacks
Additionally, the three successfully completed the raid on October 7th. That is less than three days after the release of the Garden, before the group managed to succeed as a trio.
Fans are thrilled: The corresponding post by Gladd on reddit has already received over 2,800 upvotes, his video has over 12,000 views. Other guardians and fans of the game are reacting with amazement, disbelief, and congratulations:
What the hell, the [raid] is less than 72 hours old and you already completed something intended for 6 people with just 3.
Since October 1st, pre-order customers have been able to explore the new MMORPG ArcheAge Unchained on the test server. As of today, October 9, 2019, all players can join.
What can you experience in the test? The focus of the test is on the special features of ArcheAge Unchained. The new MMORPG does not include Pay2Win and offers several Battle Passes that only provide cosmetic content in the paid version.
In addition, the content of Patch 6.0, titled “Revelation of Shadows,” is already available for testing. Included are:
What do the first testers say? Testers like TheLazyPeon and users on reddit have already given their opinions about Unchained. We’ve gathered them here for you.
Everyone can test Unchained for free
How do I participate in the test? To test ArcheAge Unchained, you only need a Glyph account. You can create this for free on the official website.
Afterwards, you need to download the Glyph launcher and set the ArcheAge server to “Public Test” in the top right. Following that, you will need to download the game, which has about 80 gigabytes awaiting you.
How long will the test last? The test for ArcheAge Unchained runs until Sunday, October 13. So you have a few days to familiarize yourself with the new MMORPG for free.
Accordingly, there have already been queues when pre-order customers could log in a few days ago. Now that everyone can test for free, this queue could become even longer.
However, there are currently two servers available for the test.
When is Unchained releasing? ArcheAge Unchained is set to release two days after the end of the test on Tuesday, October 15. Along with the new version, the patch 6.0 will be released, both for Unchained and the Free2Play version of ArcheAge.
In Korea, they are currently developing a mobile game for ArcheAge, which is oriented towards features of Pokémon Go:
October has begun. Soon the Halloween season will return to Fortnite. What can we expect in this year’s Fortnitemares? Here are some ideas and comparisons to last year’s Halloween event.
Soon it will be spooky again in Fortnite, as Halloween is approaching. Last year, there was a whole event called Fortnitemares. What will Epic Games bring to the game for Halloween this year?
Fortnitemares 2018 Recap
What was this event? In this event, players could unlock various rewards by completing the Fortnitemares challenges. The highlight of the rewards was the train glider that could be unlocked.

Special Skin for Halloween: Available in the shop for 2000 V-Bucks, there was a Zombie Cowboy Skin. This skin turned into a zombie when enough monsters were eliminated.
How did the map change for Halloween? The map became dark and foggy. There were monsters everywhere, making it difficult for players in combat. Various Halloween-themed decorations were also spread across the map.
Ghosts were hung from street lamps, spider webs were scattered, and spooky pumpkins were placed. The infamous Pumpkin Launcher was also brought back into the game.
Here are the Halloween skins that have been available in the shop so far: These skins were available for purchase in the item shop during previous Halloweens. It is quite possible that some of these outfits will return to the shop this year.
Skull Trooper (Epic – Halloween)
Spooky Team Leader (Epic)
Bunnymoon (Uncommon)
Deadfire (Legendary)
Heumann (Epic)
Kürbiskämpfer (Uncommon)
Kürbisagent (Epic)
Strohagentin (Epic)
Castor (Epic)
Elmira (Epic)
Sanktum (Epic)
Hollowhead (Epic)
Dante
Rosa
Raven (Legendary)
Nitehare (Epic)
Braniac (Uncommon)
Ghoul Trooper (Epic – Halloween)
Especially the Ghoul Trooper skin is very popular in the community, as it is among the rarest skins. The last time it was available in the shop was in November 2017, almost 2 years ago.
How will Halloween take place this year?
Season 11 with Halloween theme?Season 11 is likely to start next week. Thus, it will take place during Halloween. Could there be a spooky Battle Pass for it?
Whether there will be another event like Fortnitemares is still unknown.
Leaked names for possible Halloween skins: The data miner Hypex found some skin names that could hint at Halloween skins. Some names suggest existing skins, but this time for the opposite gender. Such as a male version of the Ghoul Trooper skin mentioned above.

Community Suggestions for Halloween
What does the community think? In Reddit, several suggestions are already being made regarding the Halloween season in Fortnite. Some players have concrete ideas on how it could all unfold.
Concept for Halloween challenges: The player ialhakak created a concept for Halloween challenges. He came up with some tasks and possible rewards. It looks like this:

Especially the revamped “Layered Armor” system makes it easier for you to customize your hunter. You can now look however you want – with some restrictions.
1. Title Update for Iceborne – “Transmog” and Rajang in Detail
Here’s how the “Layered Armor” is changing: With the new update, you can craft “Layered Armor” directly in the forge in Iceborne. The system allows you to wear a cosmetic armor without stats over your actual armor.
The new system allows you to craft armor from old parts as well. To do this, you only need to gather the required materials from the Guiding Lands to craft the armor. While the appearance isn’t fully customizable yet, it’s at least a good bit more.
This is Rajang:Rajang is the new monster in Iceborne and should already be familiar to many fans of the series from Monster Hunter 2. He is considered an extremely tough opponent and many fans are already looking forward to being beaten up by him.
Rajang can be found in a volcanic region of the Guiding Lands. To unlock this, you first need to accept the special quests that are also introduced with the update. The ape-like giant hits pretty hard and even has a sort of Super Saiyan mode.
Rajang is expected to be a tough challenge even for veterans. However, once you defeat him, his armor and weapons will be available as rewards for crafting. The armor is said to favor offensive playstyles and will harmonize with the weapons.
These are the additional features: Along with the new “Layered Armor” and Rajang, a new biome of the Guiding Lands comes to Iceborne. More about this can be found in our detailed guide to the Guiding Lands.
Additionally, you will be able to visit your friends’ rooms or invite them to yours. A variety of new cosmetic items will be available to beautify your room.
Lastly, new tempered versions of already known monsters will appear, including the tempered golden version of Rathian or the tempered silver version of Rathalos:
The minimum and recommended system requirements for Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC are here. Even older processors can handle it, but you need a lot of storage space.
What are the minimum requirements? As a minimum, Rockstar Games requires an i5-2500k processor for the PC version of RDR 2. An older graphics card like the GTX 770 is sufficient to play the game.
Notably, the game consumes a large amount of storage space. On PC, 150 GB is required on the hard drive. That’s about a third more than on consoles.
These are the recommended system requirements for RDR 2: While the minimum requirements are very low, Rockstar recommends somewhat stronger hardware to ensure RDR 2 runs well on PC. Here the requirements are tightened a bit.
Even with the recommended hardware, Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC is not demanding. About 35% of participants in the Steam Hardware Survey (via PCGamesN) should meet these requirements. This means many potential players are addressed who do not have to be deterred by overly high requirements.
We are already curious how RDR 2 will visually stand out on PC compared to the PS4 and Xbox versions.
When will Red Dead Redemption 2 be released on PC? You don’t have to wait long for the release. It starts in November.
If you want, you can now start the Rockstar Games Launcher and pre-order your version. This initially runs exclusively on the Rockstar Games platform. Only later can you pre-order it at other locations.
So if you’re still looking for a game for the cold winter days, then purchasing could be worth it. Is your PC fit enough for RDR 2?
On October 1, Call of Duty: Mobile was released and within a week, the game has already broken several records. The mobile shooter is extremely popular and successful.
How successful is Call of Duty Mobile? Right at launch, the new mobile shooter climbed to number 1 in the download charts in over 100 countries. In the seven days since release, Call of Duty Mobile was downloaded 100 million times. This is reported by the analysis website Sensor Tower.
This makes the shooter the most successful launch of a mobile game ever. The revenue in the first week is also impressive: players have already spent 17.7 million USD.
The game from Activision clearly surpasses the numbers of other shooters like Fortnite or PUBG on mobile. Even purely mobile games like Mario Kart Tour or Pokémon Go fall short.
Only Mario Kart reached similar numbers
How did the competitors perform on mobile? In the first week after release, the other shooters also had a successful start, but did not compete with the numbers of Call of Duty Mobile:
Fortnite achieved 22.5 million downloads in the first seven days and a revenue of 2.3 million USD.
PUBG reached 28 million downloads but monetized the game only two months after launch.
How did other mobile games fare? Other games also lagged behind the strong numbers of Call of Duty Mobile:
Mario Kart Tour achieved 90 million downloads in its first week and is thus Nintendo’s most successful mobile game at launch.
Pokémon Go only reached 10 million downloads during the same timeframe.
Even Harry Potter Wizards Unite, according to Sensor Tower, only achieved 6.5 million downloads.
Why is Call of Duty Mobile so successful? In the Google Play Store, the shooter has an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars based on more than 2.6 million reviews.
Players particularly praise:
The good controls.
The smooth gameplay.
And the many elements and content from other Call of Duty games, such as weapons or old maps.
A great success for Activision: After BlizzCon 2018 and the debacle surrounding Diablo Immortal, the success of Call of Duty Mobile is extremely important for Activision Blizzard.
Our author Schuhmann also believes that this situation needs to be analyzed more closely:
In The Division 2, the next free content expansion will launch on October 15. “Episode 2” brings new missions and the Pentagon into play. However, agents will have to wait for the announced raid.
What’s coming next week in The Division 2? Already about two weeks ago, the release of Title Update 6 and the content expansion “Episode 2” for The Division 2 was announced for mid-October. Now a specific date has been revealed – October 15.
Much is already known about TU6, but the developers have so far held back information about the free content DLC “Episode 2”.
Apart from the upgrade of some missions to potential invasion missions and the “Mannig National Zoo” as the headquarters of an invasion (Stronghold), the people at Massive have said nothing about the new missions that are supposed to come with “Episode 2”.
Episode 2 brings a new raid – But when?
However, it has been clear for a while – “Episode 2” comes with a new raid. Raids are usually the largest PvE activities within an MMO and offer the highest difficulty level and often the best loot in the entire game.
The raid is now being postponed? In a post from the Ubisoft launcher “Uplay”, Ubisoft’s counterpart to platforms like “Steam” or the “Epic Games Store”, where the release date was also mentioned, there were also details about the upcoming raid.
It states that the raid is being postponed and will not come with Title Update 6 and “Episode 2” on October 15. However, it does not say when.
Developers want to deliver quality
As part of Ubisoft’s responsibility for general fixes and improvements to the game, the second raid of The Division 2 is being postponed. The additional time allows developers to focus on the overall quality of The Division 2 while developing a raid that meets player standards.
Translated post from the Ubisoft launcher
What do the developers say about it? The developers mention that all the changes and improvements to the game have resulted in the second raid needing a bit longer. They want to use the gained time to focus on the overall quality of the game until release and then deliver a good raid that meets the players’ expectations.
Why do raids sometimes come later? The first raid “Dark Hours” came later than expected. Such a raid is not infrequently part of a larger expansion that brings new gameplay or mechanics into the game. This gives players the opportunity to internalize these innovations.
Raids need their time
But from the developer’s side, it also makes sense to release such a large activity a bit later:
Update brings new max level
Players are still too weak for the raid and should not get frustrated after the first attempts with minimum level.
Developers want all new content to be played
For some players, service games become pure raid providers. So before everyone rushes to the raid and then disappears, the new content should also be played extensively.
High time pressure
If, alongside the raid, many other new contents or balancing come into the game, the targeted release dates can get tight.
Bugs
Raid bosses often bring new game mechanics that were not initially considered during development. Complex mechanics can easily hinder straightforward implementation, and the release may need to be postponed due to errors in gameplay.
Different difficulty levels
There is also the case where multiple difficulty levels are released. Often, there is an easier version first. In the meantime, developers can continue to work on the difficult version and offer players a more balanced difficulty level.
What else do the expansions bring? The raid is eagerly awaited, and new missions are also on the agents’ wish list. Title Update 6, however, also brings many new features and adjustments to game mechanics to improve the gaming experience.

For the 2019 World Championship in League of Legends (LoL), the song “Phoenix” and the corresponding music video have now been released. The comments are flooded with memes. We show you the coolest reactions from the players.
What kind of video is this? For some time now, it has been common in League of Legends to celebrate major events with original songs. In 2014, it was a big deal when the song “Warriors” by Imagine Dragons was used for the World Championship. This created a huge hype in the community.
The new song is called “Phoenix” and has received a particularly artistic music video. The song is performed by Cailin Russo and Chrissy Costanza. We embed the video of the new song here:

This time, the pro Faker also appears in the video, who plays for the team SK Telecom T1. Also present are Caps from G2 Esports and Rookie from Invictus Gaming. At the end of the video, you can see how the animated bodies of the pros move towards the stadium and trophy.
This is particularly praised: The art style of the new video is often mentioned in the comments and positively highlighted. While opinions about the song are divided, the artistic presentation is well-received.
This is less well received: One player writes on Reddit “The video is not bad. The animation is really cool and something different. The song is just … meh. Boring, generic. It didn’t hype me up.”
“I’m glad I’m not the only one,” responds another player. “The animation is great, but the actual song lacks … energy? It’s not like with “And Ignite NANANANA” or “LEGENDS NEVER DIIIIIIEEE”. I feel like it’s missing power.” He then describes how in other songs like Warriors the guitars thundered and harmonized with the champions in the clouds and that the hype moments are missing in the new song.
However, there are certainly listeners who enjoy and praise the song. On YouTube, a user writes, “This song is great. The girls’ voices fit perfectly and create beautiful harmonies. Love it.”
meme frenzy in the comments
What are people joking about? A catchphrase in the video is the question “Are you gonna die today?” In the comments on YouTube, players respond with quotes from LoL champions or situations to this and other questions from the music video.
You can also easily imagine Yasuo as a fighter.
Here are a few comments we’ll show you:
“Are you gonna die today?” Yasuo : “Its just death, nothing serious”
“What are you willing to lose ?” -M7 Yasuo : Your promo
“Are you gonna die today?” Yasuo: Yare Yare
“Are you gonna die today” Draven players: today and everyday
“Are you gonna die today?” Rammus: OK
“A million voices in your head call stop, when I start my 84th promo at 3am”
How do you like the new song and the accompanying video? The start of the 2019 World Championship was certainly exciting:
The TOTW 4 (Team of the Week) for Ultimate Team in FIFA 20 is known. Here you will find out which players are in the fourth Team of the Week and receive upgraded Inform cards.
What is the Team of the Week? The Team of the Week consists of 23 players that EA Sports selects anew each week. To have a chance at a spot, players must show outstanding performances in real football.
These are the best cards in TOTW 4: In the current Team of the Week, Dybala has the strongest card with an overall rating of 89. However, the new Inform cards from Verrati (87), Immobile (87), and Gomez (86) are also interesting.
These players from the Bundesliga are included: FUT players with Bundesliga squads can look forward to new special cards from Hradecky (85), Plea (84), and Grillitsch (82).
The first Inform card of Plea: This new card is really interesting because it is a strong upgrade from Plea’s standard gold card.
And indeed, Inform Plea could now be an option for many FUT players with Bundesliga teams up front. Although the new Inform card is still not as fast as a Timo Werner, it could be convincing in a system with 2 strikers and the right chemistry style.
The strongest improvements were here:
Speed: 76 -> 79
Shooting: 81 -> 85
Passing: 76 -> 80
Dribbling: 78 -> 81
This is the Team of the Week 4
All cards in TOTW 4
TOTW 4 – Starting XI
TOTW 4 – Starting XI
TOTW 4 – Substitutes
TOTW 4 – Substitutes
Then TOTW 4 appears: Starting from 7:00 PM on October 9, the new TOTW cards will be available.
Bronze or silver Inform cards can be found in the corresponding bronze and silver packs.
On the transfer market: The TOTW cards are also offered on the transfer market, which is probably the best way to get Inform cards. However, prices are still quite high at the beginning of the week. It is better to wait a few days for prices to drop a bit.
Making coins with the TOTW: To earn coins quickly in FUT, the Team of the Week is excellent. Here you can find out everything about trading in FUT 20:
Destiny 2 has made changes to the availability of heavy ammunition in some PvP modes. What changes await you in the Crucible and what the Guardians are saying, you can read here.
What happened? Last night, Guardians had to take an enforced break due to unscheduled emergency maintenance related to Shadowkeep. Afterwards, there was a small patch that fixed a problem with the seasonal artifact.
Besides this update 2.6.0.3, there was also an unannounced server-side fix that went unnoticed by many players as it was not listed in the patch notes. Bungie only drew attention to the forum post by community manager Cozmo on Twitter.
You do not need to download such a fix; its effects are activated for everyone as soon as they log in. And this fix adjusted the power ammunition in the Crucible.
Here’s how the changes look in PvP: The changes affect the availability of heavy ammunition and vary depending on the PvP mode. Whether you are playing with the rocket launcher Truth or machine guns, here are the key details:
In “Control,” you can pick up heavy ammunition starting from the 45-second mark. The next time, the ammunition will spawn in 120 seconds (previously it was every 60 seconds) after picking it up.
In “Conflict” and “Survival,” heavy ammunition will first be available starting from the 60-second mark. Then you will have to wait 120 seconds. Before the fix, heavy ammunition was already available from the 15-second mark and could be picked up every 60 seconds.
Bungie also plans to implement similar changes to the accessibility of power ammunition in the competitive mode “Survival.” These changes are expected to go live later in October.
Were the changes necessary?
What does developer Bungie say: Community manager Cozmo stated that the changes were made due to numerous feedback from the Guardians that recently emerged.
He elaborated that many players want the heavy ammunition to only be available in one round for Competitive mode. This was the case in the popular Trials from Destiny 1. However, without heavy ammunition, there would be little emphasis on map control. Once a team has a life advantage in “Survival,” the flow of the game becomes very passive.

What do the Guardians say? Players are pleased with the comparatively quick reaction from Seattle, as the feedback apparently just arose recently. A similarly swift response has already been seen regarding the ban of exotics for the World-First race in the new raid. Often, weeks or months pass before Bungie responds to the community’s change requests – if at all.
The well-known Destiny YouTuber Fallout Plays comments under the Twitter post: “You moved very quickly with this [update]. I like it.” Further positive remarks can also be found on reddit. Here, Steven_drewz succinctly states: “Thank God.”
Other users view the situation indifferently, like CookiesFTW: “Were people unhappy with the amount of heavy in quick play? It seemed more or less okay to me.”
Some Guardians see the changes to heavy ammo less positively. They are concerned, for example, about the quest for the grenade launcher The Summit. To obtain the weapon, many kills with grenade launchers in PvP must be achieved.
The concerned Guardian Oxyfire writes: “Ugh, just when I thought that The Summit would be doable.”
We are in the last week of Season 10 in Fortnite. For a task of the Overtime Challenges, you need to collect the Visitor’s recordings. We will show you the locations.
What kind of challenge is this? One of the tasks from the Time Trials Challenges states: “Collect the recording of the Visitor at Moisty Palms and Greasy Grove.” The recordings are found in the form of cassettes.
This guide will show you where the Visitor’s recordings are located in Moisty Palms and Greasy Grove.
Recording at Moisty Palms – Location
Where do you need to search? In Moisty Palms, you need to land on the highest building. On a small white wall on the roof of the building, the cassette is located. For orientation, you usually see a chest right next to it. Now you can simply collect the recording.
Location on the map:
Location in Moisty Palms:
The recording is located on this wall
Recording in Greasy Grove – Location
Where do you need to search? You need to walk into the Taco restaurant in Greasy Grove. The cassette is located near the toilets. You should walk there and stop at the dining tables that are in front of the restrooms.
One of the dining tables is against the wall on the left, next to the door that leads to the “Kitchen/Cash Register”. The recording is located on this table. You can now simply collect the cassette.

Since the map update in Pokémon GO, the island of Salamis has been abandoned: No Pokémon are spawning in the area. What happened?
This is why the Pokémon disappeared: In March 2019, Update 0.137.1 was released. This included changes to the OSM map. Niantic uses this map to create the game world.
However, during this transition, a problem occurred. Some locations in the game became essentially unplayable. This was due to the areas in the OSM map receiving a designation that blocks spawns – for example, nature reserves. This is exactly what happened in the case of the island of Salamis – and it has not been fixed to this day.
Seven months without Pokémon
This is the situation on the island now: The reddit user “Giannhsblazer“, who also pointed out the issue back in March, has now posted an update on the situation. And it is bleak: The island has apparently been without any spawns for seven months.
This is likely due to the Saronic Gulf being tagged as a natural bay in the OSM map – including the islands of Salamis, Aegina, Angistri, and Poros. This led to the spawns in this area being blocked.
Arenas and stops are there, but Pokémon are missing Source: GiannhsBlazer/reddit
In OSM, the tag has apparently been fixed, but in Pokémon GO players are still waiting for an update regarding Salamis. The island remains without spawns for the time being.
Can you still play Pokémon GO on Salamis? Basically yes. Because: Arenas and PokéStops still exist. Capturing arenas and conducting raids is therefore possible. Only catching wild Pokémon is currently extremely limited.
This makes the game naturally not even half as fun. And the community on the island misses the game: “Dear community, for the sake of the game that brings us all together: We and the communities of the other three islands need your help,” writes “Giannhsblazer” on reddit: “We just want to hunt for spawns with our friends.”
How are Niantic and the community reacting?
This is what the players say: The reddit post is filled with comments from trainers who want to help draw Niantic’s attention to the problem. They recommend contacting support – if necessary with group emails. However, this has apparently fallen on deaf ears so far.
The island of Salamis/Google Maps
This is how Niantic has reacted so far: Niantic has essentially not reacted at all. As Giannhsblazer reports, in most cases automated responses from bots reply to the island’s inquiries. If a real person does respond, the responses are limited to: “The issue is known. Please enjoy the game in other locations while we attempt to fix it.”
The players’ reactions to these responses are very dissatisfied. A solution to the problem does not seem to be in sight for the time being.
Soon the first legendary Pokémon from Generation 5 should appear. And they are quite strong:

However, players, fans, and protesters from Hong Kong are fighting back in their own ways to send Blizzard a message. They are turning an Overwatch character into a symbol for the protests in Hong Kong.
What has been done to Mei? There are now hundreds of images in the form of Photoshop manipulations, memes, and specially created artworks. They depict the character Mei, who originates from China in the Overwatch world, as a supporter of the protests. Here are some excerpts from Twitter featuring various images showing Mei in her role as a supporter of the protests.
What do the organizers hope for? Most are upset that Blizzard apparently aligns itself with China through this decision, as there is a large and important market there. They now hope that Mei will become a symbol of resistance and protests against China. They believe that the Chinese government would ban the character Mei, thereby impacting Blizzard and its products.
Or to quote a post on Twitter:
Make Mei a new symbol of resistance in Hong Kong. Or at least meme it until China bans Blizzard products.
Fans are outraged by Blizzard: Even long-time fans are quite angry about the incident, creating bitter memes. A few years ago, Blizzard made the statement “The world needs more heroes” famous with Overwatch – not only as a message for the game but also as a message to the players.
This very statement is now being used again, as seen in this example:
Image source: Twitter account axelerator.
The world needs more heroes – except if you support the protests in Hong Kong. We just love money too much, okay?
The whole action aims not just to draw more attention to the protests and the concerns of the people there but also to send Blizzard a message, so they might lose China as a market.
What do you think of this approach? Is it a valid method to express discontent and support a political cause? Or should Mei not be used for such things?
Overwatch characters have already been used as symbols of protest in the past. For example, D.Va:
Fallout 76 has new items available in the Atomic Shop again. This time, there are special skins included that were only available for a short time and can now also be purchased for a limited time.
These skins are back: In a blog post, Bethesda announced new offers for the Atomic Shop in Fallout 76. Included are four special skins for the Power Armor, inspired by the four Horsemen of the (biblical) Apocalypse:
White Rider
Pale Rider
Plague Rider
War Rider
Death – The Pale Rider
War – The Red Rider
Famine – The Black Rider
Plague – The Green Rider
In addition, there are other cosmetics for your C.A.M.P., costumes, and even some free items made available through the “Clean Appalachia” event. The full list of offers can be found on the official website.
How long can the skins be purchased? The offer for the four riders is valid from October 8, 2019, until October 22 at 6:00 PM German time.
The cost per skin is 1400 atoms (approximately 14€).
The cool skins and the other
What is so special about the skins? The four riders were the first time in Fallout 76 that a series of power armor skins was released that thematically fits together and looks really stylish.
The Raiders also have themed skins now. This Wasteland Raider is also on offer.
The first three riders (Plague/Green, War/Red, and Famine/Black) have stylish ornaments and really look like something: threatening, archaic, and apocalyptic. The riders were also well received in the community. Especially the return of “Famine” seems to please many fans:
I have been waiting for this Black Rider for a long time…
This one is disappointing: While the other skins have spikes, embellishments like plague sores, and a generally threatening appearance, the most well-known white rider is just a white-painted T-51b with a few rods and an emblem:
At the beginning, players had a lot of reasons to complain about Fallout 76.
Finally, we know when the new DLC “Episode 2 – Pentagon: The Last Castle” and Title Update 6 for The Division 2 will be released. This free DLC will continue the story of The Division 2. We summarize all the important information regarding the release of the new content for you.
Where do the new details come from? The news comes from the Ubisoft Launcher on PC. There, specific details about the release date of Episode 2 and Title Update 6, as well as the content that players can look forward to, were revealed.
All important information about Title Update 6 and Episode 2 in The Division 2
When will Episode 2 and Title Update 6 be released? The second DLC and the next major update will be released on October 15, which is already next week, for The Division 2 on PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
However, content from Episode 2 will initially only be accessible to owners of the Year-1 Pass. They will have 7 days of early access.
All other players can start with the second DLC from October 22.
The Title Update 6, along with all its improvements, changes, and a new mode for Conflict (PvP), will be available to all players from October 15.
What is Episode 2 about? In short, it is about defending the Pentagon. The elite mercenaries Black Tusk want to seize important military secrets there, and the Division must ensure they remain secret.
Attention, potential spoilers ahead. Read at your own risk.
Here are the contents of Episode 2 – Pentagon: The Last Castle
Two new main missions: At the beginning of Episode 2, players will follow a transmission from another Division agent who is searching for a bio-reactor in the Pentagon. This reactor would enable the replication of the anti-virus samples that were secured at the Tidal Basin.
The Black Tusk at the Pentagon
You will fight your way through flooded areas and troops of the Black Tusk to reclaim the Pentagon. After securing the new Safe House, two new missions can be played:
Pentagon
and DARPA Research Labs
In the Pentagon, agents will uncover the location of the bio-reactor. However, the Black Tusk have already infiltrated the complex and are trying to steal the reactor.
In DARPA Research Labs, players must fight their way through the Pentagon to the DARPA labs, where the Black Tusk are already transporting the reactor through an abandoned tunnel network from the Cold War.
New specialization: Owners of the Year-1 Pass will unlock a new specialization on October 15 – the Technician. Players without the annual pass will need to unlock this new specialization option by completing various tasks.
The Technician carries the P-017 Multi-Rocket Launcher as an individual weapon. Players can lock on to and engage up to 6 targets (depending on the available amount of ammunition). After launch, the up to 6 rockets will track their targets.
Additionally, the Technician has the Maxim 9 pistol, the skill variant Artificer Hive (drone stock), and the grenade mod EMP grenade.
New classified assignments: For owners of the Year-1 Pass, there will be two new classified assignments – at a boathouse and in the Mexican embassy.
In the assignment Marina, it is against the Outcasts. They have stored weapons and supplies in a boathouse on the Potomac River, which they use as a transshipment point. Agents are tasked with securing the weapons and equipment.
In Embassy, a helicopter loaded with supplies from the JTF was shot down by the Outcasts and crashed through the roof of the Mexican embassy in Washington. Agents are to locate the helicopter and recover the pilot and supplies before the Outcasts can get to them first.
What’s in Title Update 6
The next major update for The Division 2 brings a lot of improvements and changes that will be active for all players from October 15.
Almost all changes are based on player feedback and the work of the Elite Task Force.
New Conflict mode (PvP): The new PvP mode is called Team Elimination and offers a teamwork-based tactical experience. The new mode will also start on October 15 for all players.
In two teams of 4 agents each, it’s a “Best of 7” match. The maximum 7 rounds end when a complete team is wiped out or time runs out.
Additionally, there will be a new PvP map. The new map “Wharf” will be similar in size to the existing Conflict maps of The Division 2 and is set in an abandoned fishing harbor. It will have numerous opportunities for flanking and elevated positions.
2nd Raid postponed
What about the new Raid? Actually, the second raid of The Division 2 was supposed to start with Episode 2, where players would face the True Sons. However, according to the information, this raid has been postponed – the new date is currently unknown.
The extra time allows developers to improve the overall quality of The Division 2, which would also benefit the raid.
What about the expeditions? Although not an exclusive feature of Episode 2 or Title Update 6, the expeditions, which flopped in Episode 1, are now making a comeback in an improved form with a new reward system. More about that can be found here:
At League of Legends the LoL Worlds 2019 are currently taking place. The team “Hong Kong Attitude” has reached the main round of the League of Legends World Championships. But casters are not even mentioning the word Hong Kong anymore – probably due to the charged political climate. They are now improving live. It feels like self-censorship.
Which team is it about? The team “Hong Kong Attitude” qualified through the “Play Ins” of the League of Legends World Championships. They won the decisive series of the group stage against Isurus Gaming, a team from Argentina.
Hong Kong Attitude achieved one of their victories with a “Backdoor” play. The LoL team attacks the enemy base while the opponents are far away. It looks like an “Oops” moment when the opponents arrive too late to their own funeral.

The team “Hong Kong Attitude” has been around since 2017 under this name.
Casters censor themselves: Hong Kong … eh HK A
This is now noticeable: Apparently there is a directive from Riot Games to the casters and analysts that the name “Hong Kong” should no longer be mentioned.

Reddit users also believe that the US stream is being broadcast with a delay. Interviews are said to be “pre-recorded.” They probably want to keep the option of cutting out political statements.
What is going on with Hong Kong right now? At the moment, the residents of Hong Kong are protesting against the increasing influence of mainland China. This has immense political ramifications, and China seems to want to keep the issue out of the public eye.
The protesters in Hong Kong want the world’s attention on their concerns.
People who are protesting are using gaming channels as a forum for their political beliefs and to draw attention to Hong Kong and the situation there.
Legendary capes are coming back for all players in World of Warcraft. Even the tailor is the same as back in Mists of Pandaria …
Currently, the upcoming Patch 8.3 Visions of N’Zoth is being tested in World of Warcraft. The patch narrates the great conflict of players against the Old God N’Zoth, who has now regained his full strength. To overcome this enemy, players need the help of Wrathion, the Black Prince. He takes his job seriously and provides all players with a legendary cloak again – just like he did years ago in Mists of Pandaria.
What can the legendary cloak do? The legendary cloak actually has “only” strong attributes and a new passive effect. It reduces loss of sanity by a certain percentage, depending on the level of the cloak. Sanity is a new resource that will apparently be used in several aspects of Patch 8.3. You’ll need it to explore the “Terrifying Visions” of Stormwind and Orgrimmar.
The corrupted visions of Orgrimmar and Stormwind can only be tackled with a cloak.
The Terrifying Visions are new scenarios that can be tackled with 1-5 players. Each time, however, you only have limited time to make progress. This time is determined by the character’s sanity. It is impossible to complete the scenario in the first run. The legendary cloak, which reduces the loss of sanity, is therefore essential if you ever want to successfully finish the visions.
On the other hand, it has been implied that sanity will also play a role in the final boss fight against N’Zoth in the new raid Ny’alotha. This would mean that the cloak is also essential for progress raiders.
Thus, it seems clear that collecting and upgrading the cloak is mandatory if one wants to experience all the content of Patch 8.3.
Wrathion helps us upgrade the cloak.
Item level still too low? In the current version of the PTR, the legendary cloak is only at an item level of 430. This is not particularly strong even by the standards of Patch 8.2.5. It can be assumed that the item level will be increased and that the cloak is currently this low only for testing purposes. When the patch goes live, the cloak is likely to be strong enough to surpass most “ordinary” cloaks significantly.
Players find it amusing: Player reactions to the legendary cloak are mostly amused. It is often joked that Blizzard is not even trying to hide that “Battle for Azeroth” is just “Mists of Pandaria 2.0”. After all, Wrathion also crafted a legendary cloak back then. Beyond that, many find the cloak in its current form rather “boring” due to the lack of special effects.
Many years ago, Wrathion crafted a cloak for the players – back then still with a turban on his head.
However, one should not forget that the PTR of Patch 8.3 is still in a very early stage and much can change.
Are you looking forward to finally wearing an orange item again? Or is a legendary item worthless if every player can easily obtain it?
