In FIFA 20, a professional talks about how much money he invests right at the start into the Ultimate Team mode to gain an advantage. It amounts to a four-digit figure.
Who is speaking? Recently, Ivan Lapanje took to Twitter to explain how much money he will invest in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team. Lapanje is better known as BorasLegend – and he is number 1 among Swedish competitive FIFA professionals.
He describes himself as a professional FIFA player, RedBull athlete, and captain of the Swedish team. In 2013, he won the Las Vegas World Challenge Series, and he also holds several Swedish FIFA Champions titles.
How much money is he putting into FIFA 20 FUT? BorasLegend states that many have asked him how much money he will spend on FIFA 20. He openly addresses this topic:
He loaded 204,000 FIFA Points.
This amounts to nearly $1700.
In euros, that is also 1700€. Because 12,000 FIFA Points can be purchased in a bundle for 99.99€. He bought this bundle 17 times.

Why is he investing $1700 into FUT 20? According to BorasLegend, there are two reasons for this enormous financial investment:
This gives him an early advantage over some players – essentially over most, who do not invest nearly as much money – or even no extra money – into FUT 20.
It also reduces the disadvantage against the “Heavy Spenders” – that is, those who invest even more money, amounting to several thousand euros.
BorasLegend concludes: “I wish it weren’t so, but I wanted to be transparent now.”
Are such amounts really necessary? It is indeed not uncommon for professionals (or YouTubers) to invest that much money into FUT. The successful German FIFA YouTuber and professional FIFA player proownez recently uploaded a Pack Opening, showing that he has over 250,000 FIFA Points in his private account. This means he has invested a few hundred euros more than BorasLegend.
proownez actually pulled Cristiano Ronaldo within the first 2 hours after the FUT-20 Club’s founding:

Why invest so much money? With the real-money investment, you can buy so-called “Packs” in FIFA 20 FUT. These packs contain players and consumables, which you can use to build your ultimate team.
It depends on chance whether valuable and strong players are in the packs. If you open a lot of packs with a large sum of money, the chances are good that one or another top player will be among them.
You can also earn good players and packs using coins, but this takes significantly longer.
Thus, the community continually raises allegations of Pay2Win, as advantages can be “bought”. Ultimately, it is true that money does not score goals – a good FIFA player with an average team can beat a bad FIFA player with a top team on the field – but especially in the professional scene, a significant financial investment seems to have become the standard to be able to compete early on at the top.
Since you mostly play online against other players in FIFA Ultimate Team, discussions about FIFA Points and packs keep surfacing.
What are your thoughts on this topic? Are you investing extra money in FUT 20?

The most powerful decks in the Hearthstone adventure “Graves of Horror” can only be obtained with a trick. For this, they are virtually unstoppable!
In the latest adventure of Hearthstone, the Graves of Horror, there are again plenty of secrets and hidden interactions. But one of them is extremely powerful and ensures that the current run becomes almost a walk in the park. The most important character is Bob the Base Master.
Who is Bob? Bob the Base Master is a character who appeared in the previous adventure “The Great Coup”. He is an innkeeper and helps his customers – whether they are a hero of the Explorer’s League or a villain from E.V.I.L.
He was extremely popular with the community because the “battles” against Bob are inn visits, where you can improve your own deck, gain new effects, recruit powerful minions, or get rid of unwanted cards. Bob is also back in “Graves of Horror” and more powerful than ever.
Encounters with Bob improve the decks – always.
What makes Bob so powerful? This time, players can trade their entire deck under certain conditions with Bob and receive one of “Bob’s Bombastic” decks instead, with which they can finish the rest of the current run. The decks are extremely powerful and contain cards and combinations that are not normally available. These include:
A deck that consists of all “Quest rewards,” such as Queen Carnassa, the Nether Portal, or Giant Fin.
A deck of the most powerful spells in the game, including the “Treasure spells,” with which you can summon 3 legendary minions.
A rogue deck consisting of 30 copies of the “Robohopper” – a minion that gains +2/+2 more in stats each time it’s played compared to its predecessor.
It is quite possible that there are more decks, but so far, these three have been found.
This is what it usually looks like at Bob – but it can also be upgraded!
How do you get the decks? Getting the cool decks depends on luck, as two conditions must be met.
First, you must be offered the “VIP membership” during the treasure selection. This ensures that visits to the inn are upgraded. You have more mana (gold coins), more minions to choose from, and new cards.
Now you must reach the inn and also be lucky enough to draw the 4-gold card “House Special.” If you use it, your deck will be exchanged for one of Bob’s decks!
The Reddit user Cr01s1s has created a small mini-guide in image form:
Have you already played with Bob’s decks? Were you able to defeat the Plague Lords with them? Or did you not know about these decks at all?
Will Sony launch 2 models for the Next-Gen PlayStation in 2020? That’s at least what a Japanese journalist claims. According to his statement, alongside the standard PS5, a PlayStation 5 Pro model is also expected to be released.
When will the PS5 be released? There is no official date for the release of Sony’s Next-Gen console. However, experts assume that the release of the PS5 will take place in the fall or at the latest by the Christmas season of 2020.
Although Sony has already made some official statements about the new PlayStation generation, a new rumor now speaks of a development that likely few people had on their radar.
Please note that this rumor has not yet been commented on by Sony and should therefore be taken with a grain of caution.
What is the rumor about the PS5 Pro? According to the rumor, Sony will not only launch the PlayStation 5 in 2020 – but also 2 models at launch:
The base model PlayStation 5 (PS5)
as well as the more powerful version PlayStation 5 Pro (PS5 Pro)
The rumor further states that Sony has recognized the interest in a high-end model of the Next-Gen console and wants to give players what they desire right at the launch of the new generation.
Where does the rumor come from? The rumor originates from Japanese tech journalist Zenji Nishikawa. As Nishikawa reports in a video, he claims to have picked up the details from an insider source at the Computer Entertainment Developers Conference (CEDEC).
How likely is this rumor? Although it is still unconfirmed information, Zenji Nishikawa has proven to be a reliable source multiple times. For instance, he spoke about the Nintendo Switch Lite before its official announcement. While this is no guarantee that he is correct this time, his statements at least do not seem completely unfounded in this context.
This is what we know so far about the PlayStation 5: Even though there is no official release date yet, Sony has already revealed a lot about the PS5 – including some initial technical specifications. Everything we know so far about the Next-Gen PlayStation has been summarized in this overview article for you:
In World of Warcraft Classic, you should be careful about your positioning on PvP realms. The wrong spot can lead to account penalties!
In the “good old days” of World of Warcraft Classic, there were many rules and habits that are hardly imaginable today (or in Retail). After all, there were no flying mounts back then and many game mechanics worked differently. For this reason, you also need to be careful where your character stands in Classic. Otherwise, you might be considered a nasty exploiter.
What exactly is going on? In the WoW Classic subreddit, user KazmaticsTV shared a screenshot of a dialog with a Game Master. The conversation was about the player standing on the roofs of buildings and turning passing players from the other faction into sheep just to tease them a little. This was a PvP action, but spawning NPC guards could not catch him on the roof.
If you stand on roofs and engage in PvP, be prepared for penalties. Source: reddit/r/classicwow
KazmaticsTV was subsequently warned by the GM that this would be considered an exploit and advised the player to refrain from doing it. He said:
We want you to have fun in PvP, but if you are standing on buildings and so on to avoid guards, then that counts as an environment exploit.
What does that mean? In plain terms, this now means that you cannot stand on roofs or elevations in PvP that you had to reach through “wall-jumping” or other tricks. Any place where guards spawn but cannot reach you will be considered an exploit and could potentially be used against you and your account.
So, if you want to avoid penalties, you should always ensure that you only use “fair” positions in PvP where there are either no guards nearby or guards at least have the opportunity to strike.
In Classic, different PvP rules apply than in Retail. Guards can still not shoot there …
The rule is, by the way, not new. Even back in Vanilla, this decision existed and anyone who hid on roofs, making themselves invulnerable to many, could expect penalties if reported by other players.
What do you think about this rule? Is it sensible and important to create fairness? Or does exploiting such places add to the charm of Classic?
The preliminary patch notes for the second test server phase (PTS) of The Division 2 already reveal a lot about how Massive intends to address the issue of low build diversity. If the changes go through, hardly any build will survive the next update.
Why are there currently so many changes in The Division 2? The developers are currently extensively testing the changes of the upcoming Title Update 6 on public test servers on PC. The second phase is set to begin soon, and Massive has once again released preliminary patch notes.
The test phase ends on October 1, and the release of the new Title Update 6 has also been confirmed for October.
Passive armor talents are being revised
What will happen to our builds? With the upcoming update, the bonuses from passive armor talents – the smaller buffs available on many armor pieces – will be significantly changed. The talent bonuses can no longer be stacked.
If the changes go through, many PvE builds will be put to the test. The talent “Ruthless” currently provides +10% damage to elite enemies (DTE) per equipped piece. The revised “Ruthless” will come with +25% DTE but will no longer be stackable. This talent is widespread and forms one of the foundations for dealing substantial damage to NPC enemies.
This means that if you have multiple armor talents with Ruthless equipped, only one item will provide the talent bonus – the rest of the Ruthless talent bonuses will nullify.
These are the new values of the passive armor talents
This is how the talents are currently being revised:
Critical
+20% Critical Hit Damage (previously +5%).
Surgical
+15% Critical Hit Chance (previously +5%).
Devastating
+10% Weapon Damage (previously +5%).
Empowered
+20% Skill Strength (previously +10%).
Ruthless
+25% Damage to Elite Enemies (previously +10%).
Vital:
+25% Health (previously +20%).
Hardened:
+20% Armor (previously +10%).
Isolated:
+30% Damage Resistance (previously +10%).
Fortifying:
+30% Health on Kill (previously +10%).
Self-Regulating
+30% Armor Regeneration (previously +20%).
Destructive
+40% Explosive Damage (previously +20%).
Capacity:
+50% Skill Duration (previously +20%).
The passive bonuses will no longer be stackable, but this overall buff of passive armor talents introduces genuinely good values into the game. “Devastating” and “Hardened” will reach a whole new level due to the potential doubling of bonuses.
“Surgical” and “Critical” now receive their second upgrade within the PTS phase and are likely to bring joy to specialists for critical hits in the next update.
The community is still weighing in
What does the community say about it? The players are still uncertain about what impact this will have on build diversity. With a larger system overhaul like this, there will likely still be very strong talents initially, and the current test phase may not suffice for optimal balancing.
Some players are a bit upset. It is criticized that such drastic changes to the builds nullify many hours of looting. There is a desire for an expansion of recalibration options to be able to assemble the optimal gear themselves.
Other voices from the community appreciate these planned changes. A service game is defined by exactly this type of changes. Constantly adjusting the tightest screws if it makes the overall game more stable.
The developers engage in the discussion
What does Massive say? The developers are also very active on Twitter regarding this issue. As some users are upset about the interventions in their builds, Fredrik Thylander, Lead Designer at Massive, posted a brief statement regarding the developers’ strategy.
Nobody likes their cool build invalidated by a patch. I get that. But worse is to play a game where the meta is stale, narrow or dull. We don’t rebalance like this often, but when we do, there will always be the need for new builds. No matter what the changes are.
Fredrik Thylander on Twitter
He essentially says: “No one likes it when a cool build is ruined by a patch. But worse is to play a game where the meta is so restricted. We don’t often conduct rebalancing to this extent. But when we do, it’s always because new builds are needed. Regardless of what changes it may be.”
This clarifies that the developer is willing to implement larger changes if the meta, meaning the current gameplay favored by players, focuses too much on a few talents or weapons. However, Massive tries to avoid these larger interventions as much as possible.
What else is there to know about the next update? Whether all the announced changes will make it into the game is still uncertain. However, many other new features have already been confirmed.
In the MMORPG Guild Wars 2, there are often discussions about the difficulty of new content. The developers have acknowledged this problem but admit that the players are simply better than they are.
What happened? On Tuesday, September 17, the Prologue to Living World Season 5 was released in Guild Wars 2. This introduced the first strike mission meant to prepare players for raid content.
However, many criticize the strike mission for being not only easy but far too easy to complete. The boss fight with 10 players takes hardly longer than 3 minutes for many spontaneous groups.
While the rewards in the form of a new shoulder skin and a chair are good, players do not see it as a genuine introduction to raid content.
What do the developers say about it?PCGamesN had the chance to talk with Lead Designer Heather Conover about the episode. They discussed the difficulty of the boss fights.
The developer says:
One of the hardest tasks in balancing PvE content is assessing the difficulty in relation to the skill of our players. Our players are generally better at the game than we are.
We aim to provide a certain variety of difficulties in the content we publish. And we anticipate adjustments to the difficulty based on player data and feedback.
At the same time, Senior Designer Justin Reilly describes the new strike missions as “not easy.” You need a good squad to defeat the boss and obtain the best rewards. Many players do not share this opinion.

Hardcore players in GW2 have been dissatisfied for a while
What are players dissatisfied with? Even before Heather Conover’s statement, players speculated about why the last raids were all coolly designed but far too easy.
They suspected that the capabilities of players might exceed the expectations and skills of the developers. Heather Conover’s statement supports this assumption.
When raids were introduced in November 2015 in Guild Wars 2, there was approximately a new raid every 4 months. However, this cycle only applied to the first 4 raids. After that, the intervals have noticeably increased.
The first raid boss ever in GW2
A mixture of new story and long-term plans
What does the interview reveal? In addition to the strike missions and players’ skills, the story of the new update was also in the spotlight.
This was created, as Narrative Designer Novera King revealed, from both long-term planning and spontaneous ideas.
The developers already knew that the Charr should be in the spotlight in the future. However, it was only with the requiem to Rytlock shortly before the final episode of Season 4 that they decided to dive deeper into his story.
Heather Conover said that many decisions for the future depend on the success of the Icebrood Saga. They will review their data and make a decision intended to ensure that Guild Wars 2 remains a successful game.
Currently, four development teams are working on new content for GW2. We reveal what that content is here:
What else bothers the players? Besides the difficulty of the raids, many hardcore players are also dissatisfied with the release cycle. They are currently waiting for more than 9 months for a new challenge.

With Population Zero a new survival MMO is being released that aims to “reshape the survival genre”, according to its own website. Currently, only a closed beta is running, but there are some details about the game already.
What is Population Zero? In Population Zero, you play as a colonist who crashes on the way to their new colony in space and lands on an unknown planet. There, dangerous enemies and surreal biomes await you, where you need to survive.
You are free to cooperate with other players, gather resources, and build bases. The goal is to explore the world you have landed on and uncover the secrets of those who were here before you.

When and where will the game be released? Currently, a closed beta is running on PC, which players can enter by purchasing a Founder’s Pack for at least €9. However, this will only last until Monday, September 23.
On Steam, Population Zero will not be released for the time being. It will come with its own launcher. A release date has not yet been announced.
Will there be more information? News from the developers is shared on the official website. There probably won’t be any community opinions in the near future, as the beta is under a non-disclosure agreement. So those of you participating will not be able to share your experiences either.
What makes Population Zero so special
This is how the world evolves: In Population Zero, there is an ecosystem that, according to developer information, you can apparently influence. The creatures of the world have both individual and collective behavior.
Both behaviors are controlled by an algorithm that changes when you intervene in the ecosystem. It sounds like you cannot just wildly farm amounts of meat and leather, but must ensure that everything stays in balance.
There are also said to be different biomes, such as a jungle and a desert. How much this affects the game and the behavior of the NPCs is still uncertain.
This is how the interaction works: The social aspect sounds similarly interesting. The developers speak of a “fight for survival” in which you can team up with other players in groups and even factions.
These then spread across the world in the form of camps and can either fight over resources or form alliances. Large alliances can eventually wage war against one another if it comes to that.

Only now is Dead by Daylight plagued by a problem. The matches are unfair and newcomers are mercilessly scared off.
With the “Stranger Things” chapter, Dead by Daylight has actually caught its big haul and could attract thousands of new players to the 4vs1 horror game. However, there is currently a disastrous bug that ruins the gaming experience for newcomers. Dead by Daylight has suffered from this very bug in the past.
What is the bug? Those currently searching for a match in Dead by Daylight quickly find teammates and can start playing right away. However, only after completing the map does one see in the end menu of the game: The ranks of the players do not match at all. It repeatedly occurs that killers ranked 18-20 face off against four survivors ranked 1-5. Conversely, it can also happen that a rank-1 killer faces survivors who are still playing at the “beginner” ranks.
Newcomers’ entry is ruined: Currently, there are particularly many newcomers in Dead by Daylight who have such a negative gaming experience. A “fresh” player ranked 20, who has not unlocked any perks and has hardly any experience, has no chance against experienced players in the higher ranks. For both sides, these matches become quite boring, and the sense of achievement for newcomers is completely absent.
That’s why this is so fatal: A few days ago, the “Stranger Things” DLC launched alongside a “Free Weekend” for Dead by Daylight. Fans of the Netflix series now have the opportunity to try out the game for free and get an impression of it. If they only get “beaten up” and face players with hundreds or thousands of hours of experience, they will find little joy in Dead by Daylight and will hardly become long-term players.
What you can do as a newcomer: If newcomers still want to have fun, we have some tips and tricks for beginners here that might just work:
In the time trial “Davis Quartz” in GTA Online, you earn 101,000 GTA dollars in just under a minute. With a few tips, this race is easy to handle and you can quickly pocket the money.
How do you earn the money? The time trials in GTA Online rotate weekly. They come in two categories: for RC Bandito and for regular cars. In this guide, we show you how to earn cash using the remote-controlled RC Bandito. The RC Bandito races are new to GTA Online.
Which race is it about? In this guide, we describe how to win the “Davis Quartz” race. You will find it at the quarry near Trevor’s airport. You have 1 minute and 32 seconds to complete the race. If you succeed within the given time, you will get 101,000 GTA dollars.
This is where the race starts: Head to the area near Trevor’s airfield. There you will find the quarry, which has also played a role in other races and in the story of GTA 5.
Enter the marker on foot to start the race. You can find the start point at the purple remote control on the map.
What should be noted? The race takes place, as so often, on slippery ground. The sand offers less traction than a paved road, so you should carefully calculate your turns.
The time for the race is tight – anyone who has an accident will likely need to restart
Pay attention to the arrows in the checkpoints – The more arrows there are (1 to 3), the sharper the turn
Video guide: So you can get a picture of the track and the sharp turns, we have included a video from GTA-Series for you here.

During the CoD Modern Warfare Open Beta, some players made an interesting discovery. Cross Save is now activated there. But what is behind it?
Where was the Cross-Save feature discovered? From today, the Open Beta of CoD Modern Warfare is running on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Some players are testing the game on different platforms. In doing so, they discovered a new feature. The Cross-Save function is activated in the Modern Warfare beta. This was neither known before nor announced by the developers.
Cross Save in the Open Beta – How it works
How does Cross-Save work? When you link two different platforms, such as PC and Xbox One, the progress from one platform is also transferred to the other. Specifically, this means: you essentially have an overarching CoD account that you can use on all supported platforms you are playing on.
Players have become aware of this in the Open Beta of Modern Warfare and have wondered if it could be a mistake, as such a Cross-Save function has not been announced for the beta. Our author Christopher tested it himself and his progress from the Xbox One was directly transferred to the PC.
Link your platform to the CoD account to test Cross-Save
This function transfers things like your level progress, equipment, emblems, and calling cards to other platforms. However, linking to the CoD account is necessary.
So far, it is unclear whether this feature will also be included in the finished game. A month ago, the developers explained that they were experimenting with this feature, but it has not yet been confirmed for the final version.
What benefits do you get from the feature? If this function is also implemented in the finished game, it could offer some advantages for players. Cross-Save no longer binds you to one platform, and you can play the same save across different devices without having to start over each time.
This way, you can play on the PC during the day and in the evening start with your friends on the PS4. However, you will likely have to own the game for both platforms, as this is not Play-Anywhere.
What does Cross Save bring?
What is the goal of Cross-Play? The developers want to create a large Call of Duty community with Cross-Play and at the same time offer the ultimate multiplayer experience.
In conjunction with the already implemented Cross-Play feature, Cross-Save would bring additional comfort and freedom for players. They want to ensure that players can enjoy the experience completely independently of their platform. Therefore, most content is also intended to be released simultaneously on all platforms.
This way, they want to prevent a split in the community. Playstation 4 players should still receive a “Day 1” advantage. What this will involve, however, is not yet known.
This is what players say about Cross-Save: When the Cross-Save rumors first emerged a month ago, players on reddit were excited about the idea. Some would even be willing to buy the game for multiple platforms if the developers included Cross-Save. One player jokingly said, “So are the developers finally making the CoD account useful?”.
However, it remains to be seen whether this feature will actually make it into the finished version of the game. It can currently be tested in the Open Beta and works without apparent problems. At least from a technical standpoint, the chances look good that players will also find the Cross-Save feature in the retail version of Modern Warfare.
In Fortnite we are in the 8th week of Season 10. We will show you where to find the hidden Battle Star that is concealed in the loading screen.
What is this star? Each week there is a loading screen that can be unlocked by completing three time-limited challenges. The loading screen contains a hint about the location of the hidden star.
Requirement: The Battle Star will only appear for you in the game after you have completed three of the time-limited challenges. Once you have completed the 3 tasks of the Gothic missions and received the loading screen, you can begin your search for the star.
Finding the Battle Star from Week 8 in Season X
What does the loading screen look like? The loading screen features the new Gotham City, which has appeared in the game. If you look closely at the neck of the stone figure, you can see coordinates. The coordinates G2/G3/H2/H3 reveal the exact location of the hidden star.
Where is the location? The coordinates G2/G3/H2/H3 lead you to the star. You should search at the intersection of these coordinates.
Location on the map:
Location at the coordinates: If you mark the intersection of these 4 coordinates, you can fly directly there. You will see a metallic building near the marker. The Battle Star is located in the crater. Once you have collected the star, you will level up in the Battle Pass.
If you are still looking for the locations of the time challenges, here is a guide for that:
A special video titled “Never Interrupt a Brawl” is currently causing quite a stir in the Red Dead Online community, the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2, and bringing a lot of laughs. A player intervenes in a fistfight with an axe – the result is going viral.
Currently, not only the recently introduced roles of Bounty Hunter, Trader, or Collector are giving RDO players something to talk about. A funny video is also drawing the attention of many fans and creating a lot of buzz.
What exactly does the video show? About a day ago, user StealthShinobi shared a funny clip from Red Dead Online on the discussion platform Reddit, showing an unexpected outcome of a fight. A player is seen intervening with an axe in a fistfight between two other cowboys. However, nothing comes from the two seemingly easy kills.
The combatants quickly put their disputes aside and team up against the unfair interloper who dared to interrupt the fist duel between two men and wanted to exploit the situation. In true western fashion, he gets thoroughly beaten up.
As if that weren’t enough, the two fighters then turn back to each other and continue resolving their own differences after they have dealt sweet dreams and quite a headache to the armed troublemaker.

How do the fans react? The video is being celebrated hard by the community and is quite popular among fans. It has already received over 24,000 upvotes in just about a day. Many say they still can’t stop laughing.
Users celebrate how cool the two main participants put their disputes aside and make quick work of the dishonorable third player. What is particularly appreciated: After that, it continues as if nothing happened – almost like in a movie or wrestling, just as one would expect from tough men in the Wild West. That’s why you shouldn’t interfere in a duel between two men.
Also the fact that the troublemaker simply wanted to get easy kills, felt superior with his axe, and ended up getting thoroughly beaten, brings a lot of laughs. Many fans agree that nothing less is what the guy deserved after his cowardly act.
Unfortunately, what the clip does not show is who ultimately emerged as the winner of the actual duel. Many fans would have liked to see that.
By the way, there are many more cool moments in Red Dead Redemption 2:
In Destiny 2, a Guardian can only imagine one way to forgive the vile Uldren Sov. Thousands of Guardians agree with him.
What is currently being discussed? While countless players are eagerly waiting for the new Shadowkeep expansion, ideas and speculations are constantly popping up in the reddit forum about how certain plot lines of the confusing Destiny story might continue in the future.
Yesterday, the topic “Uldren Sov” became quite prominent. This character became the arch-enemy of many Guardians in Forsaken, as he mercilessly killed their favorite Hunter Cayde-6. Since Uldren Sov will eventually return in the future, there has been speculation about what needs to happen for us not to shoot him on sight.

Here’s the suggestion: The only way Uldren can atone is by bringing a quest for the Gjallarhorn, writes the Guardian blue_13.
He then writes a short scene about how the encounter with Uldren might go:
Uldren: Enters the Tower
I: “You will pay with your life again for killing Cayde. Speak your last words” – Draws the Thorn
Uldren: “I know where the Gjallarhorn is.”
I: “Hey, buddy. Welcome home. Let me buy you a drink. Cayde? Never heard of that guy!”
Within a few hours, this post received over 7,200 upvotes and several awards. In the comments, people mention that while the post is entertaining, they are especially surprised by the overwhelming support from other reddit users.
“You just posted this 3 minutes ago, how the hell do you already have 2 awards on it,” is the top comment. So Guardians massively agree with him.
Apparently, many Guardians can forgive even the meanest enemy in Destiny 2 – no matter what they have done – if they bring the Gjallarhorn. Why is that?
Gjallarhorn
Gjallarhorn Stands Above All
This is the Gjallarhorn: In short – the Gjallarhorn was THE weapon from Year 1 of Destiny 1. When veteran Guardians look back to the early days, images of the Gjallarhorn surely come to mind. This exotic rocket launcher has burned into the brains of all Year 1 Guardians forever.
For an entire year, the Guardian community was in a Gjallarhorn frenzy: The exotic rocket launcher was so powerful in Year 1 that it was the best choice for nearly every challenge.
Therefore: If anything can calm the spirits of the Guardians, it is the return of the weapon that shaped Destiny for them for a year. It’s also possible to forgive even the meanest enemies who kill long-time companions.
Why is Uldren Sov Returning?
Who is Uldren Sov? Uldren is the brother of the Awoken Queen Mara Sov. He was already hostile to Guardians in Destiny 1, and in Forsaken he completely lost the Guardians’ favor when he killed Cayde-6.
At the end of the Forsaken story, Uldren was executed out of revenge.
However, a few weeks later, a cutscene was unlocked in Destiny 2 that shows: Uldren is alive again! He was revived by a Ghost and is now a Light bearer. You can watch the cutscene here:
https://youtu.be/xh5arwBDj9I
With the Shadowkeep expansion in October 2019, the story will focus primarily on Eris Morn, the Moon, and then on the Vex. The return of Uldren is likely not expected in the near future.
But the cutscene teases a future encounter of Guardians with Uldren. As a revived Light bearer, he should have lost his memories from his previous life, but the renewed encounter with the Guardians should still be exciting.
And who knows, maybe he will actually bring something that can atone for his sins.
In FIFA 20, we showcase the best packs in Ultimate Team. Here you can quickly find an overview of which sets are most worth buying and opening. All packs in FUT 20 with price, value, and contents are listed.
What you need to know about pack opening in FUT 20: The Ultimate Team mode of FIFA 20 involves opening sets from time to time – a process also known as “pack opening” in Germany. Especially at the start of the new FUT season, you should manage your scarce coins wisely and first build a powerful team before spending all your coins on packs.
Because in most cases, pack opening is a loss-making business. You receive items with a lower value than the cost of the pack. Nevertheless, searching for luck in the packs is part of the appeal of FUT: “Maybe I’ll find Messi in the next set!”
Tips and hints before drawing packs:
Many packs can be purchased with coins or FIFA Points. FIFA Points are a currency that can only be bought with real money.
If you are willing to invest real money in FUT 20, you should initially buy packs only with FIFA Points. Because you need your coins to bid on players in the transfer market and improve your team.
Draw sets where you can get the most for your coins. These will be available in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team only occasionally. Then go for it. Which packs are the best, we will show you now.

Best sets in FUT 20 that can be purchased with coins
How to find the best sets in FUT 20: In most cases, those sets are the best where you pay the least price per rare card. Sets with guaranteed rare players are particularly recommended.
Only in packs that can contain rare players is there a low probability of absolute top players and special cards with high ratings.
List of the best packs that you can buy with coins: In the following sets, you potentially receive the most for your coins. The calculations come from the site fifauteam and are based on hundreds of pack openings. They calculated how many coins a rare gold player costs on average through the respective set:
Oops, unfortunately this table is no longer available.
Additionally, there should occasionally be set offers where you receive rare players for specific positions, such as a rare gold striker set. These are also recommended but are missing from the list.
What are the best sets? The expensive sets are generally the sets where you get the most for your money. However, you first need to raise enough coins or FIFA Points to be able to afford them. Additionally, they are not always available.
Are there really “best packs”? Most FUT players want rare gold players that have top values and fetch high amounts on the transfer market. The above pack recommendations are intended for these users. If you want to build a bronze team, bronze packs are recommended for you.
Promo packs that are only available during events in FUT 20
What are promo packs: These sets are limited. They are only available at certain times and often in limited quantities. So be on the lookout for them:
Oops, unfortunately this table is no longer available.
The “Yes” in the player column means that this set can contain player cards.
What are Electrum sets in FIFA 20? They are hybrid sets consisting of half gold cards and half silver cards.
Are these all the packs? It remains to be seen whether EA Sports will release more pack variants during the FUT 20 season.
Free packs / Gift sets / Rewards
These are the sets that you cannot buy but can only obtain as a gift or as a reward:
Oops, unfortunately this table is no longer available.
Gift sets are available, for example, as daily gifts in the FUT 20 web app, while ultimate TOTW packs are available as rewards in the FUT Champions Weekend League.
In World of Warcraft Classic there are still a number of bugs. One is so severe that priests currently have a huge advantage in PvP.
World of Warcraft Classic has been live for just over 3 weeks and many players are already at level 60. Although there are no PvP rewards yet, especially the PvP servers are full and invite constant skirmishes and battles between the two factions. Resourceful players have now discovered a bug that gives priests an unfair advantage: Certain attacks simply do no damage to them.
What kind of error is this? The bug apparently affects the spell “Power Word: Shield,” which allows priests to create a temporary shield that absorbs some damage points. However, there is currently a drastic error, as the shield takes no damage from critical melee attacks!
In this video, you can see a warrior mercilessly beating on a priest’s shield – to no avail:

This can be especially well proven when a warrior uses Recklessness. As a result, almost all of the warrior’s attacks become critical hits, making the issue particularly evident.
Other types of damage are not affected by this. Critical spell hits or ranged attacks deal the usual damage. Only critical melee attacks lead to an endless “absorb” that simply cannot destroy the priest’s shield.
Are priests now unstoppable? Of course, priests are not “invincible” in PvP because of this, but the bug is quite serious. Rogues and warriors rely heavily on critical hits in melee, which puts these classes at a significant disadvantage when they face a priest.
What is Blizzard doing? So far, there has been no statement from Blizzard on this. However, it is to be expected that the developers will place such a serious bug high on their priority list and will take action against it with appropriate speed.
Have you noticed this bug too? Or have you not experienced this with your priest yet?
The action-packed gameplay with many enemies to dismantle and a rewarding system that delivers tons of loot has been particularly praised.
However, the user score is far lower at 5.2 points based on 1077 ratings (as of September 15, 2019, 16:51). The majority of negative reviews criticize poor performance on consoles and many bugs.
This is how our survey works: Now we want to know what grade the MeinMMO community will give Borderlands 3. This survey is for that.

This is what Borderlands aims to offer: The Borderlands series has always been known for its colorful art style, dark humor, and plenty of madness. All of this returns in the third part, the formula remains unchanged.
But now it’s your turn: How do you find Borderlands 3 so far? Are there elements you particularly like? Or is there something about the game that annoys you significantly? Tell us in the comments!
Patch 8.2.5 of World of Warcraft introduces Party Sync. At least Cortyn sees it quite critically and does not believe it will have much effect.
While the hype continues in World of Warcraft Classic and players are gradually approaching level 60, in “Retail” things are feeling a bit stale. No wonder, as the Azshara Patch 8.2 is now more than 3 months old. However, the next update is already in the works and nearly completed. One of the “big” features of Patch 8.2.5 is the “Party Sync” feature.
But I honestly do not believe that this will truly help with group play in World of Warcraft.
What is the “Party Sync” feature? With Patch 8.2.5, it will be possible to adjust the level of your character to match the gameplay area of another character.
For example: A friend has just started and is at level 58. You have a character at level 120, so you would defeat all enemies in mere fractions of a second. If you are now in a group with your friend, you can “scale down” to your friend’s level range.
In this example, the character would then be set to level 60. He temporarily loses talents and abilities that he would not have at level 60.
At the same time, there is the possibility to set your progress on the same quests as your friend. You can thus complete quests again and receive rewards for them while you are with your friend. The rewards will then scale to also be meaningful at level 120.
Actually, it seems like a win-win situation, doesn’t it?
Exactly, I see it completely differently.
Group play in WoW offers no real incentive during leveling
The biggest problem for me is that there is essentially no incentive to play with other players during the leveling phase, which is a shame. By incentives, I do not mean rewards, but rather incentives that arise from the game mechanics itself.
The leveling phase in World of Warcraft has been tailored to solo players for quite a while. There are hardly any group quests left, aside from a few very old quests from The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King. The regular enemies pose no threat to any class in any specialization, so leveling is actually a very comfortable, steady flow without major hurdles.
From a pure gameplay perspective, forming a group “doesn’t benefit me”. It reduces the experience points received per mob, and you are not much faster – whether enemies fall after 5 seconds or 4 seconds changes the speed only marginally.
To draw a comparison to Classic, which is currently in the spotlight: There, (almost) every class has some “downtimes” during leveling, where killing enemies is tough. Warriors, for example, often reach their limits around level 30 when good gear is lacking, as do mages or rogues. Just from the game’s design, it already makes sense to form a group and head out together.
This motivation is completely missing. The quests in World of Warcraft are certainly interesting, but only a fraction of them have a difficulty that would justify forming a group for them.
So there remains only one solid reason: The desire to play with the other person. That may be sufficient for some, but I think it is not enough for a larger portion of the player base. I always look forward to doing something with my friends at level 120, but during the leveling phase, I prefer to go solo. And I believe many feel the same way.
Every player has their own “flow” when questing. Some are quicker, some are more relaxed. If it does not align perfectly, dissatisfaction quickly arises. Again, for comparison: In Classic, this flow is naturally determined by the regeneration times and mana pauses after battles. In Retail, that is not the case.
I am, of course, happy that Blizzard is trying to make the leveling phase more enjoyable for newcomers, and the fundamental ability to play with friends “always” is certainly a fundamentally good thing.
However, I wonder why Blizzard even undertakes this effort. After all, the leveling phase in World of Warcraft is extremely short. Those who really put in the effort can level from 1 to 120 in just a few days – even faster with leveling gear.
Implementing such a comprehensive system, where virtually all quests in the game have been evaluated for their “sync compatibility”, for a segment of gameplay that is comparatively quick to finish is hard for me to understand.
My only hope here is that Blizzard is planning a revision of the world in the future (perhaps with the next expansion?) and wants to expand and implement the feature directly then. That would also fit with the overall goal of making the leveling phase more enjoyable and giving it more significance. But that is still just wishful thinking.
PvP in “Party Sync” could become a joke
One last point that makes me ponder is the PvP integrity of “Party Sync”. I believe there could be some very annoying situations if there are no countermeasures.
Let’s assume the mythically geared player at level 120 scales down to level 60 to play with his friend. Now a player from the opposing faction comes along who is at level 80.
Will the mythically geared “level 120 player” be simply destroyed by the level 80 character because the 120 player had Party Sync active? If so, that would be a clear argument against using this feature or, alternatively, to completely avoid war mode.
If that happens, I already see a horde of PvP players just waiting to take down characters with Party Sync. That does not sound like the best motivation to use this feature to me.
In summary, I do not think that “Party Sync” will lead to many players suddenly pairing up with friends. I simply cannot imagine it, as the necessity for it does not exist and the rewards are negligible.
In my opinion, Blizzard needs to overhaul the leveling phase in such a way that group play provides an incentive on its own, whether because the gameplay is challenging or because one cannot complete elite quests otherwise.
But maybe it is just me thinking this way. What do you think about the “Party Sync” feature? Will it be a huge success and lead to you questing with lower-level players? Or is this feature not for you?
Everyone interested in the new Call of Duty Modern Warfare should definitely play the Modern Warfare Open Beta on PS4, Xbox One, and PC now. Because Ground War is now finally live – the largest mode in traditional multiplayer of Call of Duty so far.
Many have been eagerly waiting for this: Currently, the second phase of the Call of Duty Modern Warfare Beta is running. Since the evening of September 20, the Ground War mode is finally available to play – initially only for all PS4 players and pre-orderers on PC and Xbox One. Originally, this mode was supposed to be available starting at 7:00 PM on September 21.
Ground War is the largest mode for the regular multiplayer part of the “Call of Duty” series so far. Accordingly, many players are now eager to finally try out the new mode themselves.
This is how everyone can try out Ground War: Throughout today (September 21), the Modern Warfare Beta will be open for all players on all platforms – probably around 7:00 PM German time. Then all interested parties on PS4, Xbox One, and PC can get their own impression of Ground War (and other multiplayer modes of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare).
To do this, you just need to search your respective platform store for “Modern Warfare Beta” and download it. Once the beta is open for everyone today, everyone can enjoy the new Ground War mode.
Ground War is basically a larger variation of the Domination mode. It is a traditional multiplayer format in a new size and not a battle royale like Blackout from Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
Gameplay currently features 32 vs 32, with 64 players. It is already the largest mode for the regular multiplayer of the entire “Call of Duty” series so far.
Two teams fight with weapons, tanks, troop transports, or helicopters on a large map for control points (5 on the current map).
The Ground War maps are larger than the regular maps. They are said to be the largest maps in the history of Call of Duty. One map is available in the beta – Karst River Quarry.
On a larger map, the developers have already experimented with 100 or more players. However, the final player numbers will depend on the size of the map and the number of control points.
The next EX-Raid boss in Pokémon GO is known! Mewtwo will return and bring a special move.
When will Mewtwo return? Currently, you can still find Mewtwo in regular raids, but starting September 25, invitations for EX-Raids that bring Mewtwo will be distributed.
The legendary Pokémon will not completely disappear from the game; you will get it in EX-Raids. The special thing about the raids is that Mewtwo will learn the exclusive move Shadow Ball there.
Mewtwo can also continue to appear as Shiny in EX-Raids. This is new for the special raids. For the first time, a Pokémon can also appear in its shiny version in EX-Raids.
Is Shadow Ball worth it? This move makes Mewtwo one of the best Ghost attackers. It is definitely worth doing the new EX-Raids, as only then will you obtain Mewtwo with Shadow Ball.
How do I participate in an EX-Raid? For an EX-Raid, you need an invitation. You will only receive this if you and many other players have raided at an EX-Raid Arena. Only if enough players have raided there will there be an EX-Raid.
The mark in the upper right corner indicates the EX-Raid Arena
You can recognize the special arenas by the mark in the upper right corner. Click on the arena, and you will see the mark. Such arenas are usually located in parks.
The upcoming 5-star raid is also known now. Giratina is returning:
