Alien from Area 51: The skin looks quite funny with its big eye and the 7 teeth sticking out of its mouth. Its head resembles a green golf ball.
Female Love Ranger: This outfit is the female version of the well-known Love Ranger skin. Those searching in Haunted Hills will find a statue of her there.
What is this Area 51 hype? It started with a joke event on Facebook. The motto was: “They can’t stop us all!” The event was supposed to trigger a storming of the military exclusion zone Area 51 on September 20, 2019, with as many participants as possible. There has been speculation for many years that aliens and UFOs are stored there. When hundreds of thousands reacted to this “event,” things began to get serious.
The Area 51 is heavily guarded and strangers are not allowed access. That’s why the organizers thought if so many people storm at once, the security personnel couldn’t stop everyone. Now a group has planned the storming, and many people are supposedly going to be on site in Nevada Texas on September 20.
This event caused a huge hype, especially in America, and many memes are being created about it.
Is Fortnite now going along with this hype? It seems that Epic is also caught up in this fuss. The alien skin, expected to be released on September 20, features a suit with the number 51 depicted on it. That would of course be a reference to Area 51.
What do you think? Have you heard about this plan?
Now the time has come. Rockstar Games is also releasing its own game launcher: the Rockstar Games Launcher. If you install it now, you will receive GTA San Andreas for free for PC.
What’s new? On the Rockstar Games website, you can now download the new Rockstar Games Launcher. Gone are the days of searching for every PC application of Rockstar games individually on your PC if you haven’t collected them in your Steam library.
Why should I install it? The launcher will search your hard drive for Rockstar Games installations if desired. The found games will then be neatly displayed in the launcher.
In the features, Rockstar boasts that you can:
launch your games
access cloud storage
browse the game collection
and receive automatic updates
If you download and install the launcher now, you will also get a free copy of GTA San Andreas for PC in your library. To do this, simply click on the icon or visit the shop to claim your gift.
No one was waiting for this, right?
What’s the problem? Many in the PC community find the numerous game launchers to be a nuisance. If you want to play many different games, you install:
the B.Net launcher from Blizzard
Uplay from Ubisoft
Steam
Origin from EA
the Bethesda.net launcher
the Wargaming Game Center
and the Epic Games Launcher
Instead of managing all games centrally through one platform, you end up installing various software on your computer. With the new launcher from Rockstar Games, another one is added.
Additionally, the fans of Rockstar Games are waiting for completely different releases. Like GTA 6 or the PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2.
The positive aspect is: Right after the release of the launcher, hope spreads among fans of Rockstar games. Many are now talking about a release of Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC. After all, Rockstar has just taken an important step towards possibly playing a PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2.

The prologue to the new Guild Wars 2 season of the Living World is titled “Bound by Blood” and focuses on the Charr. Our author Alexander Leitsch was allowed to dive into this crazy adventure beforehand and summarized his experiences.
The Icebrood Saga is the name of the fifth season of the Living World. It starts today, September 17, with a prologue that I had the privilege to play with support from ArenaNet beforehand.
In this article, I would like to provide you with an overview of the events, content, and story of the episode. The ending will of course not be revealed.
What is the new update about? After our victory over the Elder Dragon Kralkatorrik the Charr invite us to a victory celebration. As the commander and champion of the dragon, I am expected to show up as well.
It was supposed to be a fun and relaxed festival with many activities. I was already looking forward to target shooting, the Demolition Derby, and the new metal band.
But instead, unrest and internal conflicts overshadow the event. A major challenge for groups awaits me at the end of the chapter. But let’s take it step by step.

How does everything start? Bangar Deathbringer, leader of the Blood Legion, wants to unite all Charr legions and is hosting the festival in the new area of Grothmar Valley, the home of the Charr.
But during the opening ceremony, everything goes wrong and a battle escalates. When my friend Aurene, the new Elder Dragon, intervenes in the situation, I become the scapegoat.
Instead of enjoying the festival, I now have to make amends. Fortunately, this is combined with the various activities in Grothmar Valley, which are quite fun.
Many events on a large map
What happens in Grothmar Valley? The new map is large, similar to those of the previous Living World seasons. I really like that, as I expected something smaller.
Each of the four legions hosts a large event in the valley:
With the Flame Legion, I, along with other players, burned a large Charr effigy and had to carry a torch like in the Olympics.
The Iron Legion loves to wreck vehicles. In the Demolition Derby, I can live out their dreams and compete with other players.
The Blood Legion hosts a battle in the south in a slime pit.
The Ash Legion wants me to train the young ones in target shooting on floating platforms.
The twist with these four large events is that NPCs also participate. This ensures that players who catch up on content months later don’t get bored.
What else is there? One of the four large events takes place every 15 minutes, but in between, there are many small tasks. I can either help the Charr cook or defeat champions on the map.
Additionally, an expedition leads me to the east of the map. There, I also encounter ghosts and their leader Murakai, who should be familiar to fans of Guild Wars 1. And yes, she also summons many minions for help this time.
For completing the events, I receive new map currency, keys from the respective legions, which collectively open a large gate. As a reward for all achievements, there’s a new emote: /rock out!
What is the highlight of the update? At the top of the mountain in the middle of the map, the metal band performs. And this event may have the highest fun factor in the entire game.
While the band is playing, I need to get the audience hyped up, shoo away crazy fans from the stage, fix the sound system, and fight off creatures that have been lured in.
The great part is that everything happens simultaneously. The better I and the other players perform, the higher the hype factor goes. However, if we fail, the concert might be canceled.
The songs that the band plays were specially composed and recorded for the episode. In total, there are three different works.
Challenges for 10 players
What else does the episode bring? Besides the new area, the celebrations, and the beginning of the story surrounding the Icebrood Saga, the first raid mission for 10 players is the focus of the episode.
This is cleverly integrated into the prologue, as it is a harder version of a boss fight from the story. However, you must have completed this to begin the raid mission.
How does the battle go? The huge Icebrood Elemental has various abilities that all deal damage but are not immediately lethal.
With 10 players, the battle in our attempt was relatively quick, but there are achievements that require a short time or dodging specific abilities.
Additionally, there are daily reward chests that can contain not only standard loot but also special skins. The faster I am, the more chests I get. A nice incentive to improve over time.
Drunken Norn and Brawls
How does the story continue? Over time, the festival escalates more and more. Beer is being drunk, and unrest spreads among the Charr.
More and more renegades appear and cause brawls and raids on the celebrants. Even my friend Braham has to suffer, so I have to bail him out of jail after a drunken fight.
Something is not right, but I leave the resolution of the whole issue to you during your play of the new episode. You can now play it for free, provided you own the expansion Path of Fire.
One of four teams for the Icebrood Saga worked on this episode. What are the others doing? Find out here:
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the next Open Beta starts this Thursday, September 19. We’ll tell you how you can participate on PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
What kind of beta is this? It is the first beta in which players on Xbox One and PC can participate. Last week, a beta was held for a few days that was exclusively for PlayStation 4.
Now the Crossplay Beta is starting, and all fans can finally check out the shooter. However, there are again different phases of the beta that do not allow all fans to participate.
Modern Warfare gets players excited about the beta
The developers show this: A short video on YouTube is meant to remind fans that it continues this week. The clip shows some scenes from the game:

What makes this beta so special: This beta is all about the motto of Crossplay. You can play with both consoles and the PC together. The servers are not limited to individual platforms.
What happens in the beta? There will be quite a few new features in the second week of the Open Beta. According to CharlieIntel, the large 64-player mode Ground War will be playable for the first time this weekend.
It is expected to be unlocked on September 21. In Ground War, teams of 32 players face off against each other.
In addition to Ground War, the previous game modes will also be available: Gunfight and the classic 6 vs 6.
It will also be interesting to see how the new players in the beta react to the minimap. After massive criticism from PS4 players last weekend, Infinity Ward ultimately added a minimap, but it is slightly different.
What happens next? There are currently no further plans for betas. After this weekend, the Open Beta will end. It remains to be seen whether there will be any further test phases before the release on October 25.
In Hearthstone , Grandmaster Seiko made a serious mistake during a professional game because he was playing another game on the side and wasn’t fully focused. The community is buzzing about this. Seiko claimed that Blizzard was aware of the situation, but Blizzard gave a slight reprimand.
This is what the fuss is about: There are only 48 Grandmasters in the world, the best Hearthstone players. In one match, German Grandmaster Linh “Seiko” Nguyen faced off against Elias “Bozzzton” Sebelius.
However, during the match, viewers noticed that Seiko repeatedly looked down at his lap, away from the monitor, apparently focused on something else that took a lot of attention.
After the match, it came to light that Seiko had been playing a qualification tournament for “Auto Chess” simultaneously with Hearthstone.
Caster says: An insult to the whole program
This was the reaction: Some parts of the Hearthstone community were outraged: “How can you take eSports seriously as a fan if the Grandmasters don’t do so themselves?”

The caster Sottle, who commented live, said he was in a very uncomfortable situation. He couldn’t just say: “Hey, everyone look, he’s playing Auto Chess on stream.”
Therefore, he had to pretend not to notice it. This made it seem that Sottle was unusually harsh on a player just because he made a mistake.
However, Sottle says: Seiko’s behavior is insulting to the entire program and to the thousands of players who would kill to be in his position.
Seiko said: Blizzard knew
This was the accusation against Blizzard: In the discussion, the question arose about how Blizzard behaved in the situation. Seiko told InvenGlobal, that he had informed Blizzard about the situation beforehand.
He had told Blizzard that he wanted to play both tournaments and asked Blizzard to postpone his match.
This postponement was denied. However, Blizzard said, according to Seiko: It would be difficult, but if anyone could manage to play both tournaments, it would be someone like him.
This is what Seiko looked like when he realized a particularly bad mistake.
Blizzard says: It was a misunderstanding
This is what Blizzard said: The Product Manager of Hearthstone eSports responded (via twitlonger). He explains:
It was a misunderstanding; they were okay with Seiko playing both, but not at the same time. The expectation was that Seiko would fit his Auto Chess games around his Hearthstone matches.
They expect players to be fully focused when they compete in Grandmaster games.
In the next week, Seiko must be fully attentive and play his match; otherwise, he will be treated as if he missed it.
They expect the absolute best from their players and want to present the highest level of Hearthstone eSports to viewers every week.
The Grandmaster system is under attack from both sides
This is why the topic is sensitive: The whole “Grandmaster” issue is extremely controversial. Players accuse Blizzard of installing a system that doesn’t work.
Only 48 players are of A-class; anyone below that might as well stop playing Hearthstone professionally. It wouldn’t be worth it.
However, one Grandmaster says it is foolish to focus on just one game as a Grandmaster. Because if you drop out of that, you might as well stop playing Hearthstone. It is important to have a backup.

Estadio de Vallecas (Rayo Vallecano)
Estadio el Alcoraz (SD Huesca)
Atatürk Olimpiyat in Istanbul is also supposed to be included
Red Bull Arena (New York Red Bulls)
Are there new stadiums from Austria? No, Austrian arenas are not in FIFA 20.
The Allianz Arena is no longer in FIFA 20
All Bundesliga stadiums in FIFA 20 (Germany) with images – without Allianz Arena
What about the Allianz Arena? FIFA 20 comes without the Allianz Arena of FC Bayern Munich, as Konami has secured the rights to it.
These are all Bundesliga stadiums: There are a total of 18 stadiums from the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga:
Remaining stadiums from Europe (like Italy and France)
The stadiums from France and Italy: With the Groupama Stadium (Olympique Lyon) a new French stadium is confirmed. Regarding Italy, it is known that the venue from Juventus Turin, the Allianz Stadium, will be missing.
These are the fictional arenas created by EA Sports: All teams that do not have licensed stadiums in FIFA 20 will be able to play in these arenas. These have various capacities:
Turkish stadiums in FIFA 20? Fans wish for arenas from Turkey
Fans want Turkish stadiums in FIFA 20: The fifplay site started a survey on which stadiums fans wish to see in FIFA 20. So far, over 366,000 participants have voted. The result:
De Kuip Stadion Feijenoord (Rotterdam, Netherlands) – 10%
Estadio BBVA Bancomer (Nuevo León, Mexico) – 9%
Vodafone Park (Beşiktaş Istanbul, Turkey ) – 8%
Türk Telekom Stadium (Galatasaray Istanbul, Turkey ) – 7%
Whether EA will fulfill one or the other wish before the release of FIFA 20 on 27.9. is unlikely.
According to reports, the Atatürk Olimpiyat from Istanbul is supposed to be included.
Many players prefer stadiums without shadows
Stadiums without shadows in FIFA 20 FUT
This is how EA reduces shadows in the stadiums in FUT: The upper stadiums can also be played in FIFA 20’s Ultimate Team mode. Since all stadiums cast different shadows on the virtual pitch, a new technique will be used in FUT 20 to equalize the light and shadow conditions in the stadiums.
Before each match, the game chooses between day and night and uses the appropriate times and weather conditions to minimize the impact of shadows in the stadium on your gaming experience.
In the past, many FIFA fans were annoyed by unusual lighting conditions. Especially in Ultimate Team, there can be frustration when the game play is literally overshadowed.
Build stadiums in FIFA 20? In FIFA 20, it should be possible to customize the stadium atmosphere with choreos and “stadium themes.” Building completely new stadiums is, however, probably not possible.
Volta arenas in FIFA 20 – The small fields
Where will you play in Volta mode? FIFA 20 brings back virtual football to the street with the Volta mode. In this FIFA Street-like mode, you play on various small fields. A total of 17 playgrounds have been announced. You play
Mewtwo returns to the raids of Pokémon GO and can even be defeated quite easily with four players. We will show you how to be successful with just a few players.
This level you need: If you use the right Pokémon, you can even be at level 25 with four players to defeat Mewtwo – all without weather bonuses. Previously, Mewtwo was even easier to defeat, but due to changes in status values, it is now stronger in the raid.
Here you have the chance at Mewtwo: The Psychic Pokémon is now returning to raids for a week. From September 16 at 10 PM to September 23 at 10 PM, you can encounter Mewtwo in raids.
How to defeat Mewtwo with four players
Use these counters: Three types are effective against Mewtwo: Bug, Dark, and Ghost. The best counter Pokémon are of the Ghost type.
These bonuses you can take advantage of: Fight best with friends who have a high friendship level. This helps you immensely in battle. For our calculations, we always assumed the highest friendship level.
The right weather is also crucial. You can rely more on Bug Pokémon in rainy weather. Ghost and Dark types get boosted in fog, but this weather condition is extremely rare. However, we did not take the weather into account in our calculations.
How to defeat Mewtwo at level 25
Meet these requirements: If you are around level 25, it’s logically not very easy for you. You can only use one Pokémon to defeat Mewtwo with four players. The high friendship level is essential here.
Use these Pokémon: The selection is very limited here. However, Giratina can do quite well at level 25.
Giratina (Altered Form) with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
How to defeat Mewtwo at level 30
Meet these requirements: If you fight with the Pokémon mentioned above, you should not have major problems even at a not perfect friendship level.
Use these Pokémon: You can use 5 more Pokémon in battle, as long as they are at level 30. This includes 2 new monsters from Gen 5:
Skelabra with Curse and Shadow Ball
Trikephalo with Bite and Dark Pulse
Tyranitar with Bite and Crunch
Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball (This attack is no longer available)
Gengar with Shadow Claw/Lick and Shadow Ball
How to defeat Mewtwo at level 35
Meet these requirements: If you use Giratina, Mewtwo, or Skelabra, there are almost no more requirements. Even without high friendship levels, you can easily defeat it with four players.
Use these Pokémon: You can add 2 more Pokémon to your battle team if they are also at level 35:
Snibunna with Feint and Leech Life
Absol with Howl and Dark Pulse
How to defeat Mewtwo at level 40
Meet these requirements: With the top counters, you will have no problems at level 40. Here you can easily defeat Mewtwo with four players.
Use these Pokémon: Anyone who wants to experiment with their Pokémon can also use various inconspicuous Pokémon at level 40:
Houndoom with Howl and Leech Life
Pinsir with Bug Bite and X-Scissor
Drifblim with Shadow Sneak and Shadow Ball
Banette with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
Raikou with Thunder Shock and Shadow Ball
Scizor with Fury Cutter and X-Scissor
This is how hard it really is to defeat Mewtwo: You can only defeat Mewtwo with three players in foggy weather and a team of the top counters.
With four players, Mewtwo is quite easy to take down. The important thing is that you have the right Pokémon with the right moves. Only then does it work even at lower levels.
What else happens in the 3rd week of the Ultra Bonus, you can find out here:
In Borderlands 3 hides a legendary weapon, whose shots should be familiar to all Super Mario fans. With the description “Flower-Power”, it makes your ammunition bounce like fireballs.
The Borderlands series has always put great emphasis on Easter eggs. These are items, quests, or enemies that recall an event from the real world or pop culture. Now, some players have stumbled upon a weapon that should bring a smile to every Super Mario fan.
What weapon is it? We are talking about the legendary weapon Compressing Superball. With this pistol, you can shoot your ammunition like a Super Mario fire flower.
A legendary weapon with charm
What can the weapon do? The weapon Compressing Superball is part of the Maliwan series. In Borderlands 3, there are 9 different weapon manufacturers that influence the skills of your weapons.
Instead of lasers or rapid-fire ammunition, Compressing Superball fires fireballs. These are reminiscent of the fire flower from Super Mario Bros. With its ammunition, you deal explosion damage, so be careful!
In the description of Compressing Superball, it says “Flower Power”. The exact values of the weapon depend on its level, as usual.
Where can I get the weapon? Compressing Superball is a random drop and is not tied to a unique enemy, like the Rick and Morty weapon. One way to obtain it is by looting from the golden chest. For this, you need golden keys for Borderlands 3:
In the new update of Anthem the long-awaited finale of the Cataclysm is finally here. However, the list of updates is quite short. Players are now wondering if more is to come.
What the new update brings:In a post on Reddit the changes for the last week of the Cataclysm were already shown in advance. The new Cataclysm update brings:
some new inversions, as tested on the PTS
no new arena – only the arenas up to week 5 remain
the reset of the leaderboard for the upcoming week
No more anomalies – at least for now.
Additionally, the war crates are returning, as in week 5 of the Cataclysm. This means that both specific crates for the Javelins and special equipment slots will appear. Some other items and cosmetics are also returning to the seasonal shop.
When does the update come? The new update is scheduled to be implemented in Germany on September 17 from 2 PM to 5 PM.
Is this it for the Cataclysm?
What is the Cataclysm anyway? The Cataclysm was supposed to overhaul the entire world of Anthem. It promised events and occurrences that would reshape the map and possibly even kill important characters.
What the community thinks about the update: On reddit, the reactions to the update have been rather mixed so far. Some players expected more from the last week. For them, the changes are limited to the two inversions.
Since the Cataclysm, I have been playing again frequently – and it is still fun.
How it could continue: Many fans are not necessarily negative about the update, but rather skeptical. They do not believe that the end of the grand Cataclysm will simply be dismissed with such a small update.
How will the story continue after Vara has been defeated so many times?
In The Division 2, the Test Servers (PTS) for the new Title Update 6 are open, and Massive has released “flexible” patch notes. These show some changes to both PvP modes, Dark Zone and Conflict, and the developers’ willingness to respond to the wishes of the community.
What is PTS and when is Title Update 6 coming? There was already a “Public Test Server” phase for Title Update 5 of Division 2. PC players can test the new content and adjustments on this PTS in advance and directly influence development with their feedback.
Massive has since released the preliminary patch notes, which outline planned changes in PvP and the Dark Zone.
PvP experience in Division 2 has been rather poor
Whether in the Dark Zone or Conflict, for a certain part of the player base, the PvP-based content in The Division 2 is hardly worth mentioning.
While the Dark Zone continues to attract brave agents due to its innovative gameplay design, the Conflict mode hardly receives any attention. Especially new players quickly abandon these modes after initial disappointments.
As a beginner without a high-powered squad, it is almost impossible to keep up with more experienced PvP players. Veterans, on their part, criticize the poor loot yield from these activities.
The PTS Changes in the Dark Zone
Despite some weaknesses, the Dark Zones in The Division 2 are for some players the core element of the entire game.
The zones combine PvE and PvP gameplay and constantly put the player under pressure due to the lurking danger of being ambushed by another player. Some items looted in the Dark Zone must be extracted to be retained and can be stolen by hostile agents until then.
What is currently going wrong in the Dark Zone? Player feedback varies greatly depending on their experience level in the Dark Zone. While beginners criticize the high entry level, veterans highlight the following points:
Normalization makes specialized and optimized builds weaker – it hardly seems worth it to perfect them
too poor rewards
too few players on the servers
This is the current status of the planned Dark Zone changes: Massive released patch notes for the changes already available on the test servers from Title Update 6. However, the developers emphasize that these changes may be adjusted before release, as that is what the test server is for.
Removing normalization in normal Dark Zones
Normalization led to the dampening of agent stat peaks. A high specialization on specific stats was nullified. According to players, this is a reason for the low build diversity in the Dark Zones.
Stat boost for lower gear levels
The purpose of normalization was actually to give beginners a chance against the strong builds of veterans. After removing normalization, Massive is taking a different approach and boosting the stats of lower gear levels instead of weakening better builds.
Dark Zone supply drops are being improved
This will introduce new types of drops, and inactive points of interest can now also serve as spawn points for the drops. Additionally, multiple bosses can now get involved in the fight for the crate, and further factions may appear. In occupied Dark Zones, particularly valuable drops can occasionally happen, protected by Black Tusk enemies.
The Thieves’ Den gets an upgrade
The trader in the Thieves’ Den will now have a full-fledged equipment shop. Details about the offered goods and the rotation will be announced soon, but he will still only accept Dark Zone materials (such as morphine) as payment. Traders at the DZ entrances will receive revised offers and will accept DZ resources.
More players in the instances
Previously, the developers focused on a seamless transition from the open world to the Dark Zones. With the new update, there may be loading times when entering the DZ checkpoint, but a DZ instance with many players will be loaded. DZ matchmaking will therefore be revised.
Conflict Adjustments on the Test Server
The problems with Conflict: Conflict is a pure PvP mode. Agents compete in 4 vs. 4 in two modes. While in “Skirmish” you only fight against opponents to reach the kill limit, in “Domination” you defend taken positions against enemies.
The Conflict modes are also criticized for the poor loot yield and a lack of players and build diversity.
However, certain weaknesses in transparency also come into play here. For example, the game currently does not provide feedback on which buffs or bonuses the opponent is using.
What changes? With these changes, more agents are expected to dare to engage in Conflict:
Players will now receive rewards after each game
Extra rewards for a victory or leveling up
Equipment sets can be changed during the map voting
Buff symbols and bonus armor of opponents will be displayed
The range of enemy skills will be shown when players are affected
Many new audio and video sequences before, during, and after the match
Whether these changes will be enough to rekindle players’ interest in the Conflict modes remains to be seen. However, the developers’ commitment is evident, and they will continue to try to make pure PvP in The Division 2 more attractive.
What else is new in PvP? In addition to these larger changes, several smaller improvements have also made it into the update:
User interface shows values depending on the area – in a PvP game, for example, the PvP talent versions will always be displayed
More talents receive a PvP version
Hacking a Dark Zone terminal shows nearby DZ resources
Dragonhold, the new DLC for The Elder Scrolls Online, has not yet been released, but initial insights already show that there are few new developments in the endgame. Some players are therefore disappointed.
In the area, slave hunters, bandits, and pirates are waiting for you. Additionally, you must put an end to the terrible dragon and its plan to gain the power of gods. The story surrounding Elsweyr reaches its climax here.
In addition to the area and the typical main story, new quests are also waiting for you.
Can we already see the new features? Since September 16, you can test Dragonhold on the public PTS. If you don’t want to download the client, you can also watch a video from the developers about it.
They showed all the content in a one-hour livestream and shared some background information with the viewers.

Players received the livestream well, but some are disappointed with the scope of Dragonhold. In their view, important content is missing.
No Endgame and Too Small an Area
Is there no endgame content in Dragonhold? As Reddit user kruziik points out in his post, Dragonhold is only the second DLC in ESO’s history that does not contain new endgame content.
Players were expecting new trials, dungeons, or arenas, but these contents are unfortunately missing in Dragonhold.
How large will the new map be in Dragonhold? There is also discussion about the size of the new map. It is certainly not smaller than in other expansions, but the expectations were different this time.
The YouTube user Draevan13 writes below the video:
It looks like the zone is about as big as Clockwork City, Murkmire, etc. Too bad, I hoped the reason why the north of Elsweyr is smaller than Vvardenfell or Summerset would be that the south would be larger than in a normal DLC.
Reddit user supermariozelda is also unhappy with the expansion. Despite the new DLC, about 20% of the entire map of Elsweyr is still missing.
However, since Dragonhold is the conclusion of the story, it is very unlikely that the areas will become playable later.
What are players looking forward to? Even though there was some criticism at first glance, many players are looking forward to the upcoming update.
This is also due to the announced performance updates for the MMORPG. Update 24 is expected to bring more stability, a performance improvement, and a completely new group search tool.
However, the story is also intriguing many players. YouTube user Nathan Hermond writes under the video:
I am so glad about how Elsweyr is integrated into the story, and I am especially happy that the Khajiit are the main part of the story. I love their culture and style; they are my favorite race.
How and when can you play Dragonhold? Dragonhold is a DLC and must be purchased separately from Elsweyr. Alternatively, you can access the content for free if you have an active ESO Plus subscription.
When exactly Dragonhold will be released is not yet known. However, it is definitely expected to come in 2019.
The Elder Scrolls Online is among the most popular Buy2Play MMORPGs. But we can also recommend four other titles:
Borderlands 3 comes with some challenging bosses. One of them is Katagawa Ball – we will show you tips and tricks on how to defeat him.
Here you can find Katagawa Ball: You will encounter Katagawa Ball in a round room at the end of Skywell 27 at the conclusion of the mission “Lasertag in Space”.
What the ball can do and how you can break it, you’ll find out here.
What Makes Katagawa Ball Special
This is what the boss opponent can do: Katagawa Ball is a flying metal ball that can attack you with various assaults.
First, it’s noticeable: The boss can take a lot of hits. Katagawa Ball has three health bars: Two for shields and one for armor. Getting through that, I must announce, is quite exhausting.
Here you see the health display of Katagawa Ball
Offensively, Katagawa Ball uses various laser attacks, launching at you in bombs, beams, and wave forms. They usually cover a large area and are difficult to evade.
How to Defeat Katagawa Ball
The Right Level: You should not face Katagawa Ball below level 15. If you have not reached this level yet, it’s better to gather some experience points through side quests.
Those who still have problems at level 15 should consider taking a break from the fight and leveling up further.
Make sure you have the right weapons with you
Use the Right Weapons: Since Katagawa Ball is strongly defensive, you need the right ammunition.
With the wrong weapons, you take too long to get through the shields and armor, and you use up too much ammunition. You should definitely have stocked up your ammunition adequately before you start.
To break the metal armor (yellow bar), it’s best to use corrosion weapons.
You will best dispose of the shield (blue bar) with shock weapons.
Getting some upgrades won’t hurt against Katagawa Ball, this way you can increase your ammunition
Evade Attacks: Against Katagawa Ball it’s worth going into cover. Because: Katagawa Ball has really strong attacks that can take away a lot of health and shields at once.
If you go up the stairs, you’ll find some containers behind which you can find protection.
A good place to hide is also the turbine, which you can use as a shield. It gives you a small window to look through and shoot when it’s safe.
However, the area damage attacks remain dangerous, even if you hide well.
How you can implement this well, you can see here in the video from PowerPyx. Caution: If you absolutely want to avoid story spoilers, watch only from minute 0:17!

You Need Patience: The fight remains a game of patience until the end. If you need to leave cover, keep moving. Always keep Katagawa Ball in sight and under fire – otherwise, the ball may suddenly appear behind you.
This is the Weak Point: Katagawa Ball’s eye is particularly vulnerable and suffers critical hits if you hit it. Additionally, hitting the extended side plates throws him off balance.
If you follow these tips, the ball shouldn’t be too much of a problem for you.
Is there a legendary weapon as loot? Once you have defeated Katagawa Ball, it’s time to collect. Along with a quest item, there is also loot. It’s possible but not guaranteed that the boss drops a legendary weapon. Katagawa Ball does not have its own legendary weapon.
If you are looking for unusual weapons, you can find them, for example, here:
In the Endgame of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, everything revolves around the Guiding Lands. We will explain how you can unlock the 5 hidden monsters there.
What happens after the end of Iceborne? The release of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne has been some time ago, and many players are in the middle of the Endgame. Its center is the area “The Guiding Lands.” Here you level up your Master Rank (MR) and can unlock new monsters. We will explain which monsters those are and how the Guiding Lands work.
Attention! The following content contains spoilers from the Endgame of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne
These additional monsters are waiting for you in the Guiding Lands:
These are the Guiding Lands: The Guiding Lands are an additional area and the center of the Endgame. You unlock the new map by completing your story and can level it up gradually.
With rising Guiding Lands, their wild inhabitants also grow. They become stronger until you are ultimately able to spot the secret monsters. We will explain below how you level up the Guiding Lands.
How are the Guiding Lands structured? The Guiding Lands consist of five areas known as biomes:
Forest biome
Coral biome
Rotten biome
Waste biome
Volcano biome
How do I increase the levels of my biomes? Your task in the Endgame is now to level the biomes of the Guiding Lands. You can do this by collecting materials and tracks or hunting monsters there. You need these materials to augment your equipment.
New monsters are coming into the game
Furious Yian Garuga, Brutal Tigrex, Silver Rathalos, and Golden Rathian can be unlocked at Master Rank (MR) 70. Then you can bring your biomes to level 6. Afterward, you will find traces of the secret monsters or even the monsters themselves in the respective areas of the Guiding Lands. Now it’s time to hunt them and unlock investigations on them.
At these locations, you can find the new monsters:
Furious Yian Garuga in the forest biome
Golden Rathian in the waste biome
Silver Rathalos in the coral biome
Brutal Tigrex in the rotten biome
With the beasts, new equipment is, of course, coming your way. But note that the Furious Yian Garuga does not have its own armor set.
First reach Master Rank 70
To spot the hidden monsters, you first need to break MR 70. The leveling up runs in stages in Monster Hunter World.
This is how your levels are capped: In Monster Hunter World, there are so-called “level caps.” These are barriers that prevent your further leveling up. You need to overcome these obstacles with specific missions. All levels you have accumulated up to the completion of the quest will be credited to you afterward.
1. Limit to MR 23. Your first level cap in Iceborne will be lifted upon completion of the story. You can then reach MR 24 and higher.
2. Limit to MR 49. The next hurdle awaits you with MR 49. If you complete the task “Sleep Now in Fire,” your level cap will be raised, and your biomes in the Guiding Lands can be increased to level 5.
3. Limit to MR 69. With MR 69, you get the quest “Big Burly Bash,” which allows you to reach MR 70 and higher. Additionally, you can then raise your biomes to level 6.
Here you have reached your goal for now and will be able to spot the 5 hidden monsters from now on.
The Fall of Ruins Nergigante
In the course of your story, you will encounter the Ruins Nergigante from time to time. However, you can only defeat him starting from level 99. There, the quest “To the Very Ends With You” awaits you.
If you complete this task, your level cap will finally be lifted. From now on, you can hunt the Ruins Nergigante, and the biomes of the Guiding Lands can be upgraded to level 7.
You can level up in Master Rank even faster
To increase your Master Rank, you need to hunt monsters or be active in the Guiding Lands. This works through any kind of quest as long as it belongs to the Master Rank. However, there are a few tricks with which you can level up your ranks faster:
Shara Ishvalda is the monster that gives you the most points
Event quests often give extra MR; pay attention to the quest description

We will tell you everything you need to know for that.

When do the Tombs of Terror start? The first two chapters will be unlocked later this evening (September 17, 2019). So you can play Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 today. The other chapters will be released in the coming weeks:
Chapter 3 will be released on September 24
Chapter 4 and the finale will be released on October 1
What do the Tombs of Terror cost? The first chapter is free and is meant to give players a taste of the entire adventure, as usual. The remaining three chapters and the finale can currently still be pre-ordered. A pre-order of the entire expansion costs €20, but it also grants a special card back and a random legendary card from “Saviors of Uldum”.
How much the chapters will cost in gold is not yet known. Based on previous expansions, it is usually 700 gold per chapter.
The card back for pre-orders.
Attention! Bargain hunters might want to wait a bit, because after the release, you can buy the adventure at “a lower price”, meaning you’ll pay less than €20. However, you will miss out on the card back and the legendary card. The exact price has not been mentioned yet – it is said to be just cheaper.
What rewards are there? For those who are only after the loot, there are also significant rewards in Tombs of Terror. For completing each chapter, you receive a one-time reward of 3 card packs from Saviors of Uldum, totaling 15 packs. Additionally, you will receive a special card back for completing the game in both normal and heroic modes. Lastly, a golden Classic pack will be awarded for the first completion of all chapters.
The heroic reward …
… and the normal one.
Are you going to check out and play the “Tombs of Terror”? Or are you going to avoid Hearthstone’s solo adventures?

Initial indications suggest that creatures from Stephen King are making their way into Dead by Daylight. Will the horror clown Pennywise from “IT” be the next killer?
Although the “Stranger Things” DLC for Dead by Daylight is being released today (September 17, 2019) and brings the Demogorgon , there are already hints of an upcoming chapter. The horror author Stephen King is involved, which narrows down the selection of possible killers significantly.
Where does the information come from? A user on Reddit noticed that several employees of Behaviour Interactive, the developer of Dead by Daylight, were following a particular channel on Twitter – that of the horror author Stephen King.
Among them were the community manager of Dead by Daylight, the main account of the game, and Mathieu Cote, the “Head of Partnerships”, who is responsible for collaboration with other license holders.
Why is this suspicious? The fact that a horror game follows a horror author is not surprising initially. However, a similar “Twitter behavior” had been noticed in the past.
Just before the announcement of the “Stranger Things” chapter, the Twitter channels followed the Twitter accounts of the actors of that series. The fact that Stephen King has also been followed for a while leaves much room for speculation.
Which killer will it be?
Which killers could come? With Stephen King, there is a wide range of possible killers, as he has a large variety of horror stories to draw from. However, the clown from “IT”, Pennywise, seems to be the most likely candidate. This is one of Stephen King’s most famous characters, recently brought attention through new films.
Although the developers already have their own clown in the game, this one has entirely different abilities than Pennywise, who tends to shape-shift. The fact that the developers are not afraid to create two visually “similar” killers was already evident with Leatherface and the Hillbilly, both of whom hunt with a chainsaw.
Mathieu Cote stated in an interview a while ago:
The list of licenses we could still acquire is getting shorter. I am a huge IT fan and I still hope that we will get it.
Some fans are already hoping for other killers. Jack Torrance, the writer from “The Shining” with his nice axe, is also very popular among fans. Some rather silly comments hope for killers like Christine – a jealous car. However, that seems unlikely to happen.
Please keep in mind that this is just speculation at this point.
What do you think of a killer from the mind of Stephen King? Which one would you like to see?
Now, there are also some Pokémon from Generation 5 in the raids. Especially one Pokémon is likely to interest many players, as it can only be found in raids and in eggs.
These Pokémon from the Unova region are now in raids
How significant are the changes? This time, there isn’t a big change. Only the 1-star raids and of course the legendary raid boss have changed. All other raid tiers have the same Pokémon as before.
This might be because Mewtwo and previously Deoxys have the same weaknesses. Logically, not much can change about the raid bosses, as they are effective against both Pokémon.
Which Pokémon are worth it from Gen 5? There are a total of 3 Pokémon from the Unova region in raids. Yamask and Throh can also be caught in eggs and in the wild, besides in raids.
Both Pokémon are not really relevant in the Pokémon GO meta. So, if you want to save raid passes, you shouldn’t invest in those two Pokémon.
The new raid bosses from Gen 5 and their shiny versions
Baltoy, on the other hand, is significantly more interesting. You can find it exclusively in 10 km eggs and in raids. So if you want to evolve your Baltoy, you should focus on raids.
You can also find it there as shiny, so a raid pass might be worth it here. However, from a usability standpoint, Baltoy is not very useful.
Mewtwo is now significantly harder to defeat in raids. We tell you why:
The business of virtual currency seems to be doing well. 1 Gold in WoW Classic currently costs more than one Euro. However, there are no legal methods for trading.
This is how expensive Gold is: There are various providers for Gold in WoW Classic (which we will not name for safety reasons). The price of Gold depends on the provider and the server where the Gold is to be purchased.
A rough overview of different providers shows that a Gold piece costs around 1.01-1.20€ on the largest German servers Lucifron (PvP) and Everlook (PvE). On the newest server Heartstriker, the price even rises to about 2.50€.
How do the dealers operate? To sell the Gold, dealers use various methods. For example, players are supposed to open auctions in the auction house that are then bought by the Gold dealer.
However, this often leads to scams. Players pay but receive no Gold or lose their accounts when they leave their account data with dealers.
Why trade at all? Classic is a time-consuming game and Gold is needed for many things, such as the first mount. However, not everyone wants to bother farming the Gold for mounts or new skills.
Classes like the Rogue have some nice advantages, but many players prefer to rely on the offers from dealers often referred to as “China Farmers”. This way they avoid the long grind for a coveted mount or item and reach their goal faster.
How sensible this is, however, is questionable given the prices. If players wanted to buy an epic mount (including riding costs almost 1000 Gold pieces) for real money, they would pay about as much as for a new mid-range gaming PC, even including a new Ryzen 3000.
Even the “normal” mount already costs 90-100 Gold.
What is Blizzard doing about it? According to the terms of service, Blizzard bans any account involved in Gold trading – including buyers. Therefore, we advise against accepting such an offer.
In the retail version of WoW, there is also the WoW token, which allows players to legally exchange Gold for real money, in both directions (with restrictions).
However, there is no such token for Classic and whether it will come is questionable. After all, there was none “back then” and Classic fans are sometimes quite meticulous about changing things.
Fortnite in China has 2 major differences from our Fortnite. A streamer is surprised about it and talks about the rules in his stream.
What are the 2 rules? The differences between the Chinese version and the known Fortnite are significant. Normally, you win a match if you are the last player standing on the battlefield. However, in China, there is another way to win a match for yourself. Additionally, after 3 hours of gameplay, a notification and restrictions appear.
How do you win a game? In the Chinese version of Fortnite, you can win a game in two ways.
The first option is exactly the same as we know it: The last player on the battlefield wins.
However, there is another method to win: Whoever gets many kills can immediately claim their victory rewards. When a player eliminates many opponents, a notification appears that says: “Congratulations, you are the best player in this match. Do you want to exit and receive the same reward as for a win?”
This way, other players in the match have the chance to win, and those who achieve many eliminations will still be rewarded. Even in the game mode Life Theft, aggressive gameplay was rewarded, and many players set kill records.
What restrictions occur after 3 hours of gameplay? If you want to play longer than 3 hours in China, you have to expect restrictions.
The collection of experience points is reduced to 50%. If you want to do challenges, you have to wait, because after 3 hours all challenges are locked. Additionally, you are advised to take a break, do your homework, or study a little for school.
According to Vice, a representative from Epic Games confirmed that these rules were established to comply with China’s legal system.
Why are there these rules? China has implemented rules in gaming that aim to reduce addiction risk among young players. This aligns well with the fact that after 3 hours, you have to expect restrictions in Fortnite.
The streamer SypherPK seems surprised about the differences
What does the streamer think about it? The streamer SypherPK was live on Twitch. There he told his fans how different the rules of Fortnite are in China. He seems surprised about how you can exit the game and still receive the same rewards as for a win.
Here you can see the clip when he was just talking about it with his fans:

Screenshot of White Arden from the video linked below
New and Impressive Graphics for ArcheAge
What does the new video show? The new video presents some impressive graphics changes to ArcheAge in just under 3 minutes. The first minute specifically addresses adjustments in five areas of the game that are spread across the world map.
After that, general system changes will also be presented. Future distant content will be better textured. There will also be significant graphical changes to the sky and housing.
In the last 30 seconds, the race of Elves takes center stage. They will receive a major overhaul with new faces and adjusted proportions.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19twc1MT1Dk
How are the fans reacting? Under the Youtube video, which at the time of writing had 34,000 views, almost only positive comments are gathered. Users write:
“OMG, I am really impressed by the huge improvement. I didn’t expect it to be this good” – Neoshadow Reigns
“Looks like a fresh start for ArcheAge. I am hyped!” – Romain Lagès
“Ok, goodbye WoW Classic and Black Desert, ArcheAge Unchained here I come” – Michel van der Pol
Only on performance and required hardware do some users have concerns. So far, there have been no changes to the system requirements from the publisher Gamigo, who has been responsible for the distribution of the MMORPG in the West since October 2018.
Will all areas of ArcheAge be overhauled?On Reddit, some players have pointed out that a similar overhaul already took place in Korea. However, not all areas were affected.
In an official post about Patch 6.0, the developers wrote:
Additionally, you can explore the updated Gweonid Forest, which has been polished and looks better than ever due to new shadow and lighting settings! Other zones have received similar improvements.
In our interview at Gamescom, Vice President Mervin Lee Kwai III also told us that not all areas will be directly overhauled. However, according to Kwai, there are plans to upgrade the remaining regions in the future.
Along with the new patch comes ArcheAge Unchained. And many players are looking forward to a version without Pay2Win:
