So far, Deoxys has only been available in EX Raids. It makes sense that there will soon be a successor. However, Niantic has made it clear that at least this weekend, no new EX Raid boss will appear. The Initiative form of Deoxys remains unchanged.
What Niantic says about the EX Raid boss
This statement exists: On Twitter, a player asked what would come next in the EX Raids. Niantic responded and confirmed that it will still be Deoxys for now.

They also mentioned that they currently have no further information to share regarding the upcoming EX Raid boss.
This statement is important: Now there is clarity for the time being. Many trainers have already wondered what will appear as the EX Raid boss this coming weekend. Some had expected a new boss, but that seems to have been dashed for now.
When will the new EX Raid boss arrive? New invitations for EX Raids have also already been sent out. There will be new EX Raids on the 21st and 22nd of September.
In the tweet, Niantic spoke of the upcoming EX Raid, referring to the raids occurring on the weekend of the 14th and 15th of September. Whether there will be a new boss the following week remains to be seen.
This is why many players are puzzled: It surprises many players that Deoxys is simultaneously available in regular raids and EX Raids. When Mewtwo left the EX Raids, there were no EX Raids for a while until Deoxys arrived.
Now it is all the more strange that Niantic is taking a different approach. After all, an EX Raid is no longer something special, as the Pokémon can be obtained at any arena without an invitation.
On Sunday, Community Day is also taking place. We will give you all the information about the event:
In the beta of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, a player found a major hint about loot boxes. They have been present in all the games in the “Call of Duty” series in recent years, but have not yet been announced for the new Modern Warfare. Players feel they have caught Activision red-handed here.
Here’s the find: It’s about a tweet from shooter YouTuber LegacyKillah. He shared a screenshot from the Open Beta of Modern Warfare showing a “Supply Drop”, which is what loot boxes are called in Call of Duty. They appear on a “Post-Match” screen as a reward.

Originally, the image comes from YouTuber “NerosCinema”, but the tweet from LegacyKillah is now being discussed in the gaming community.
Accusation: First conceal loot boxes, then introduce them
This is his theory: LegacyKillah believes: Activision Blizzard is planning the same stunt as with Black Ops 4.
Activision Blizzard releases the game without loot boxes, waits until the reviews are written and millions of boxes are sold, and then introduces microtransactions and loot boxes:
They achieve higher sales and better reviews than if they had started with the despised loot boxes at launch
and still make a ton of money from microtransactions afterwards
In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Activision was accused of having done exactly that. The YouTuber SkillUp subsequently retracted his positive review and accused the publisher of intentionally cheating by withholding microtransactions until the testers were finished with the game.
In CoD, microtransactions and loot boxes came some time after the launch.
This is the current status regarding loot boxes in Modern Warfare: So far, there has been no talk of “Supply Drops”. Infinity Ward has neither confirmed nor denied them. It was only said that they will speak about it when they are ready to do so.
However, since they have been in all Call of Duties in recent years, everyone assumed that they would also return in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
“Secret” loot boxes not so secret
This is how it is being discussed: On reddit, there are three major trends:
In Diablo 3 the Season 18 has been running for a few weeks now. We take a look at the leaderboard and check which classes and combos are currently the best.
What’s going on in Diablo 3? About three weeks ago, on August 23, the new Season 18 with the theme “Season of Trinity” started in Diablo 3. The season theme is supposed to empower players at all levels, which can certainly be reflected in the leaderboard.
On August 28, the Wizard, Witch Doctor, and Crusader were in the top three spots of the Solo leaderboard. Here are their achievements:
Wizard – GR 128 – ~14 minutes and 29 seconds
Witch Doctor – GR 123 – ~14 minutes and 49 seconds
Crusader – GR 116 – ~12 minutes and 30 seconds
The Best Classes in Diablo 3 – Status September 13
How does it look now? We take a look at the different leaderboards and show you who is currently leading. In each of the rankings, the Wizard is prominently represented. This class only landed on place 2 of your favorite classes in Season 18 in Diablo 3.
Solo: In solo play, the Crusader has been pushed out of the top 3. Instead, the Necromancer received a strong boost and fought his way to second place.
Wizard – GR 134 in ~14 minutes and 23 seconds
Necromancer – GR 133 in ~14 minutes and 46 seconds
Witch Doctor – GR 130 in ~14 minutes and 53 seconds
Crusader – GR 125 in ~ 14 minutes and 31 seconds
Barbarian – GR 123 in ~13 minutes and 50 seconds
Demon Hunter – GR 123 in ~ 14 minutes and 41 seconds
Monk – GR 121 in ~ 14 minutes and 35 seconds
Do you also want to be at the top of the leaderboards? Then check out the tier list of the best classes and builds of Diablo 3 in Season 18 here.
Duo: Initially, teams of Wizard and Necromancer led the two-player leaderboard. But this combo has now been pushed to third place. First and second place are occupied by groups of Wizard and Monk.
Trio: The composition of the top placement for trio players has not changed. A group of Barbarian, Necromancer, and Wizard still leads the list. They achieve GR 141 together, three weeks ago the maximum was GR 130. Behind them are Wizard, Monk, and Necromancer.
Quad: The group composition of the 4-player teams has not changed. However, teams of Wizard, Monk, Barbarian, and Necromancer now reach GR level 150. When we checked three weeks ago, the maximum was level 139.
Diablo fans are now eagerly waiting for Blizzcon 2019. Recently, a poster was released that raises the hopes of the players:
The first players can already play the beta of the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. But what do the fans say about it?
This is the beta: The beta, which started on September 12 for PS4 pre-order customers, brings various game modes. So you can already test what is officially coming our way on October 25.
How players find the open beta
This is the mood among players: Basically, the beta is well received. There are various clips of spectacular kills and funny bugs on Reddit . Players are excited to test the new shooter, and hardly anyone seems disappointed.
What do the numbers say? The interest in Modern Warfare is high. On Twitch, the shooter had more viewers at times than the popular battle royale Fortnite. Up to 100,000 concurrent viewers were recorded for CoD.
These clips are celebrated: The user “Ballzif” shows a spectacular round start, where he takes out several opponents at once. He writes that he couldn’t have wished for a better start.
What is criticized? Some details, however, are not well received by players. It is mainly criticized that opponents can often be hard to spot. Especially when injured, players often overlook an opponent and run straight into their arms.
There are also some bugs. For example, one can hide in vehicles and objects and shoot from there. One can only hope that this is just a problem in the beta.
How can I participate in the beta? From tomorrow, September 14, all PS4 players will be able to test the beta of Modern Warfare. The following weekend, other platforms can also join in.
All further information about the beta of Modern Warfare can be found here:
Improbable is known for the technology SpatialOS, which aims to enable huge persistent worlds even in indie games. The company has now announced that it has acquired the developers of the online shooter Scavengers.
Which studio did Improbable acquire? It is Midwinter, whose team is currently working on the online shooter Scavengers.
You must search for resources as mercenaries on the frozen earth and bring them to a space station. However, other players are trying to do the same. Therefore, a PvP battle can constantly erupt in the areas.
You also face wild beasts, which makes it necessary to form temporary teams. However, you should trust no teammate.
In the end, you receive rewards based on how many resources you managed to bring to the space station.

Why does Improbable buy Midwinter? Herman Narula, CEO of Improbable, explains that both companies have been closely collaborating for a long time. Scavengers uses Improbable’s SpatialOS technology to create and manage the worlds.
Improbable was very enthusiastic about the online shooter early on and therefore invested several million dollars in the studio last year. Now they want to deepen this partnership, as they believe in the game and its success. Improbable acquired Midwinter for an undisclosed price.
What is behind it? There is a lot of talk about the SpatialOS technology. It is considered a “wonder technology” that allows even small development studios to create vast online worlds and manage them with little effort.
However, a few SpatialOS titles have already failed. Among them the MMORPG Worlds Adrift and the battle royale shooter Mavericks. This naturally raises questions about the technology.
By acquiring a development studio that is working on a SpatialOS game, a much closer partnership is formed. Improbable can work on the game and help the team use SpatialOS more effectively.
Moreover, Improbable ensures that Midwinter does not overextend itself and that another SpatialOS game does not have to be shut down, which would reflect poorly on the technology. With Improbable’s financial resources, it is more likely that Scavengers will actually be released and marketed accordingly.
Improbable needs a representative and successful online game to demonstrate what SpatialOS can do.
What are other advantages? Improbable also benefits from Midwinter’s experience in online game development. For example, tools are to be developed together that will make using SpatialOS even easier. These tools will then be made available to other developers.
Bungie reveals how they want to optimize your exotic weapons in Destiny 2 with the release of Shadowkeep. There are also updates on the general weapon types.
Where do the information come from? The developers showed in the current “This Week at Bungie” blog not only a new roadmap for Season 8, but also addressed the planned weapon changes in a sandbox update.
In addition to adjustments to exotic weapons, there will be some general changes to the weapon types with Shadowkeep that will affect your PvP and PvE experience.
Finally a buff for scout rifles
Numerous weapon types will receive buffs and adjustments. What will particularly please many Guardians: Scout rifles will soon deal more damage in PvE and should become relevant in the game again. The scout rifle buff is greater here than, for example, with automatic rifles.
The Guardian community has been discussing scout rifles for a long time. In Destiny 1, they were the favorite weapon category for many Guardians, whereas in Destiny 2 they have been overshadowed by other weapons like hand cannons or pulse rifles for some time. With Shadowkeep, scout rifles may be pushed to the forefront again.
The season of the unyielding brings some weapon changes
Changes to weapon types
Automatic rifles
The PvE damage is increased by 30% to 25% depending on the enemy’s rank
Bows
The PvE damage against smaller enemies is increased by 31% and against larger enemies by 26%
A problem has been fixed where the time to draw the bow was displayed incorrectly
Hand cannons
PvE damage against smaller enemies is increased by 30%
Light and adaptive hand cannons use a new firing animation while aiming at targets
Higher accuracy of the weapons at maximum trigger speed
The range value now has less influence on the effective range. This means hand cannons will experience a higher damage range falloff – a range nerf.
Machine guns
PvE damage against smaller enemies is increased by 25%
Pulse rifles
PvE damage against smaller enemies is increased by 28%
The effects of damage range falloff are increased
Rapid-fire pulse rifles now deal 14 base and 23.8 precision damage (previously 13 / 21.4) in PvP
Pulse rifles with higher impact deal 21 base and 33.6 precision damage (previously 20 / 32) in PvP
Scout rifles
The PvE damage is increased by 36% to 18% depending on the enemy’s rank
The buff for scout rifles and the range nerf for hand cannons and pulse rifles will likely make scout rifles significantly better – especially at long ranges.
Pistols
PvE damage against smaller and larger enemies has been increased by 16%
Sniper rifles
The PvE damage against smaller enemies has been increased by 47%, for others by 20%
SMGs
The PvE damage against small and large enemies is increased by 22.5%.
Old exotic weapons become powerful again
Some of the exotic weapons will be revised. They will shine in a new light.
The magazine of the Sunshot hand cannon will be increased from 8 to 12 bullets. This will likely please most players who have been requesting a buff for years. This makes it more important for the game and should be noticed by many Guardians again.
The Sunshot hand cannon in Destiny 2
The exotic hand cannon Crimson is also making a comeback. The base and precision damage has been drastically increased, and the weapon no longer wobbles as much while shooting (flinch is reduced). This makes it useful again in both PvE and PvP.
The perk “In the Service of the Colony” will soon function like the trait “Auto-Loading Holster” and will ensure that the Colony will automatically reload after some time.
But those were not all the exotic weapons receiving changes. There will soon be many reasons to get these old, dusty weapons out of the vault again.
Workhorse
Magazine increased from 100 to 150
PvE damage increased by 15%
Damage changed to 15 base and 21.2 precision damage (previously 13.21 / 21.14)
You no longer need to shoot to automatically reload when picking up ammo
High-caliber rounds are replaced by armor-piercing rounds
Graviton Lance
30% more PvE damage
Sunshot
Magazine increased to 12
Wings of Sacred Dawn
PvE damage increased by 25%
Crimson
Damage changed to 19 base damage and 30.5 precision damage (previously 13.76 / 24.75). It also causes less flinch, as there was a problem before.
Merciless
The missing aim assist stat for this weapon has been fixed
Pallas
The damage bonus from Memento Mori is now influenced by range falloff
Lumina
The buff effect of Noble Rounds on allies should now function more reliably
The Colony
The perk “In the Service of the Colony” will soon function like the trait “Auto-Loading Holster”
The laser warlock on the moon
Additionally, there are thesegeneral changes: weapon modifications will be reusable. They will no longer count as consumables. All mods you have in your inventory will be converted on October 1st, and you can switch them as often as you want. This aims to give players the freedom to experiment more with multiple weapon mods.
Additionally, small enemies will no longer take more precision damage than other enemies. Until now, they had taken double the precision damage compared to others.
More changes are already in planning. Bungie wants to reveal more in the coming weeks. They will use the “This Week at Bungie” blog posts before the release of Shadowkeep.
With the release of WoW Classic, the developers in retail can finally let go of old baggage. There is now hardly any reason to cling to old things.
Okay,
I admit, the headline might be a bit provocative,
but let me explain what I mean.
World of Warcraft has been going around in circles in its development for quite a long time. Basically, every 2-3 years, a new expansion comes out with a few new features, but the basic layout is always the same:
There are 5-6 new areas on a new continent, 5-10 new levels, and a few new talents or updates. The old content remains more or less untouched, and all the action takes place only in the new areas. The old zones are all irrelevant, except if a special questline leads there for 10 minutes.
Of course, the new areas are mostly cool, graphically more sophisticated than their predecessors, and have an interesting story. But the rest of the world is stagnating; a large part of the game world remains unused for players at the max level.
Cataclysm was unpopular because it destroyed nostalgia
Blizzard once tried to break this system a bit, and that was with Cataclysm. Here, old areas were revised or completely redesigned. Because of new questlines, some players even got lost again in the old zones at max level, just to replay the stories and see what Deathwing had made of the areas.
But Cataclysm was not well received. The overhaul of the old world took something away from the players that they immediately missed. Thanks to the revision, the nostalgia that was associated with starting in World of Warcraft was gone.
Anyone who had memories of the Barrens from 10 years ago barely recognizes it since Cataclysm. Many of the quests have changed, and the entire layout of the area is different. This upset many players and caused it to no longer be “their” game world. It was no longer their homeland, where they had once begun.

The memories and feelings associated with years of playing were simply destroyed and replaced by something new. And these new quests, areas, and content could not compare to what for many players was the very first MMO experience.
Sure, the revamped areas were more modern, often told interesting stories in the quests, and offered more variety. They often had long, coherent questlines and provided a red thread. But the nostalgia was indeed lost.
Classic is always there, the nostalgia stays forever
That is now over. Thanks to World of Warcraft Classic, every player has a legitimate way to keep returning to the origins of WoW. The developers no longer have to worry about players losing a beloved part of their game world because it still exists in Classic.
Classic is always there as a guardian of nostalgia.
This could be quite a liberation and allow the developers to “go crazy”. One could completely overhaul the game world again and perhaps scale it entirely with player levels. A thematically fitting expansion could completely revamp Azeroth once more and ensure that all zones have a certain relevance in the endgame.
These wouldn’t just have to be world quests, but perhaps varied events from the individual factions residing in the respective areas.
There are many reasons for an overhaul. After all, many areas were actually destroyed during the Legion’s attack, story-wise. Many NPCs died during the invasion, yet they still stroll around the game world even at level 120.
How has the world changed since such a significant event as the Legion’s attack? Are individual factions rebuilding certain areas, and what consequences did the quests that perhaps initiated a change years ago with Cataclysm have?
If in the future there really is the “Black Empire” of N’Zoth that threatens to overshadow the world once again, it would be pretty cool if it weren’t just 5 new zones again. How great would it be if such events finally meant huge changes to the entire world?
In summary, I think that WoW Classic is a significant advantage for retail, and not just because of the generally larger number of players who have returned to WoW. Because the original version of the game is officially available, one can now comparatively easily say in the retail version, “Let’s do something completely crazy!”
Whether the developers will take this step will probably not show in the next expansion. But the one after at least has the opportunity to completely change World of Warcraft. Hopefully, Blizzard has the courage and the ideas for it.
The 3-11-7 build, with 3 damage, 11 armor, and 7 skill attributes, has dominated the meta of PvP-based gameplay in The Division 2 for some time. In this guide, we will show you what makes the 3-11-7 build so outstanding and how you can create this PvP build yourself.
What makes this build so strong? The 3-11-7 build, designed for PvP, utilizes a lot of active talents and requires agents to have a lot of patience when assembling it. Some of the bonuses are incredibly powerful, giving you that often decisive small edge to turn the battle in your favor. So it is definitely worth trying this build.
This build pushes the limits of possible attribute combinations. The eleven blue armor attributes provide excellent survivability – for example, in the contaminated Dark Zone areas. This allows powerful talents to be activated that keep you alive and frustrate your enemies.
In terms of red damage attributes, the build focuses on the essentials. It is important to keep these attributes to a maximum of three, to utilize a specific armor talent. Only the most important damage attributes are used:
Weapon damage on the chest
Weapon damage on the backpack
Single weapon damage on the gloves
What makes the build so special are the seven yellow skill attributes. This allows you to activate the talents “Explorer” and “On the Ropes”, providing a significant damage boost that can only be efficiently utilized by a few agents. The high number of yellow attributes also gives you strong skills that are almost constantly activated.
YouTuber “Pure Prime” plays a round of conflict in the following video and demonstrates the power of the 3-11-7 build.
Since September 12, the Vive Cosmos can be pre-ordered. What are the advantages of the Vive Cosmos from HTC and what does the competition offer?

Is the purchase worth it? The Competition of the Vive Cosmos
How does the competition for the Vive Cosmos look? In the following, we will take a look at the competitors. If you are looking for a suitable MMO for VR, check out Orbus VR Reborn: The MMO relaunched in April 2019:
The VR headset Oculus Rift S attracts especially with its low price of 449 euros. The Gamestar sees the wearing comfort significantly improved compared to the old model, and the tracking is also convincing. The poor sound and the lack of innovation compared to the previous model are particularly criticized.
The black levels are slightly worse than the old model, and you also have to forgo manual adjustment of the eye distance. Trying it out is therefore mandatory to see if the headset really fits you.
For wireless: Oculus Quest
The VR headset Oculus Quest comes from the same company as the Oculus Rift S, but has two major differences: First, it is wireless, and second, you do not need a high-end PC, as you load the games onto the system memory of the headset via Wi-Fi. The Oculus Quest also costs 449 euros, like the Oculus Rift S.
Testers from Curved especially praise the easy setup and the very fair price: For 449 euros, you get an “all-in-one VR system” because besides the headset, you don’t need to buy any additional accessories. The in-house store also offers an enormous variety of games.
For enthusiasts: HTC Vive Pro
The VR headset HTC Vive Pro is at the technical and pricing forefront of VR headsets. For Golem, the headset is considered to be the “best headset we have tried so far.” This is mainly due to the very high wearing comfort, even for glasses wearers. The sound quality is very good, and the picture quality is high resolution.
The most significant criticism is the very high price: the device costs 1399 euros. Although the device is also available from various retailers for just under 900 euros, it only includes the headset and a connection box. You will need to buy additional accessories. It is an advantage if you already own accessories from an old device; otherwise, you will have to dig deep into your pockets.
For all-rounders: Valve Index VR
The VR headset Index VR comes from Valve. The system is mainly aimed at gamers and is conveniently backward compatible with HTC Vive games and the controllers and base stations of the HTC Vive. For the Valve Index without accessories, you pay 539 euros, while the complete package with controllers and Lighthouse 2.0 base stations costs 1079 euros.
Testers from Gamestar regard the Valve Index as the best overall VR package. This is mainly due to the good sound and great wearing comfort. The price is too high compared to the Oculus Rift S, which offers only a slightly worse picture but costs only 439 euros.
For the console: Sony Playstation VR
The VR headset Playstation VR from Sony is made for the in-house console. Techstage praises the high wearing comfort and the adjustment options, as well as the very simple setup.
The price is also praised: You can get the second-generation headset for just 259 euros, and for just under 560 euros, you get a decent package with some games. Compared to other high-end devices, the graphics quality is lower, and the resolution is less; however, the Playstation VR headset is suitable as an inexpensive entry.
If you want to play online with the VR headset, you will still need a Playstation Plus subscription.
Do you want to know which MMO you can play in 2019 with a VR headset? The game Nostos from NetEase could be one of them:
The first Pokémon of Generation 5 arrive on September 16
These 10 Pokémon from Gen 5 are particularly crazy
This is what makes the Pokémon special: Regardless of their stats, these Pokémon look particularly crazy. They either just look funny or really cool.
So you can assess these monsters, we will tell you how strong they are likely to be in Pokémon GO, assuming their stats don’t change dramatically.
Klikdiklak
This is what makes the Pokémon so crazy: The first monster on the list is Klikdiklak, which will definitely come to the game next month. This has already been confirmed by Niantic. Klikdiklak consists of several gears that interlock and rotate. It can also fly. Unlike many other Pokémon, Klikdiklak does not have any animal features.
Klikdiklak and its pre-evolutions
This is how strong the Pokémon will be: Klikdiklak reaches 2637 CP and has a solid attack value. However, it cannot compete with the best Steel-type Pokémon. A Metagross will definitely be better.
Karippas
This is what makes the Pokémon so crazy: Karippas is a turtle that stands upright. It somewhat resembles a Ninja Turtle, as ultimately, you will be able to battle with Karippas.
This is how strong the Pokémon will be: Karippas reaches about 2600 CP and will not be significant competition for other Water- and Rock-type Pokémon. It will be more of a Pokémon for Ninja Turtle fans.
Gelatroppo
This is what makes the Pokémon so crazy: As the name suggests, Gelatroppo is simply an ice cream cone. Its evolution Gelatwino is even ideal for a big appetite: It has 2 scoops of ice cream in the cone.
This is how strong the Pokémon will be: With 2822 CP and an attack value of 218, the final evolution Gelatwino won’t be that useless. It may not surpass other Ice-type Pokémon like Mamutel or Snibunna, but with the right moves, it could be a good alternative.
Flunschlik
This is what makes the Pokémon so crazy: Flunschlik is probably the most useless-looking Pokémon from Generation 5. It is a flat flounder that is hard to recognize. It also has a dreamy look and does not look dangerous at all.
This is how strong the Pokémon will be: The appearance also describes Flunschlik’s stats pretty well. It has a maximum of 2162 CP and is not useful in battles at all.
Skelabra
This is what makes the Pokémon so crazy: Skelabra is a spooky chandelier that evolves from Lichtel, which strongly resembles a burnt candle. So if you like to battle with lamps, Skelabra is for you.
Skelabra and its pre-evolutions
This is how strong the Pokémon will be: The chandelier not only looks good but is also very powerful. Skelabra reaches 3268 CP and has an attack value of 271. With the right moves, it could become the best Ghost- and Fire-type attacker in the game and one of the best monsters of Gen 5.
Hutsassa
This is what makes the Pokémon so crazy: Hutsassa already looks like a Pokémon at first glance, as it is a mushroom that has a Poké Ball as its head and arms. Who knows, maybe you won’t have to throw a Poké Ball at Hutsassa, after all, it’s half a ball.
This is how strong the Pokémon will be: Hutsassa may look funny, but it won’t be useful in battle. The Grass and Poison-type Pokémon reaches only 2140 CP and has poor stats.
Morbitesse
This is what makes the Pokémon so crazy: All trainers who have a doll phobia may find Morbitesse a bit creepy. It looks like a small doll that has an evil expression. Not without reason, it is a Psychic-type.
Morbitesse and its pre-evolutions. Source: Wattpad
This is how strong the Pokémon will be: Morbitesse reaches 2419 CP and has relatively weak stats. There is great competition among Psychic-types, which is why Morbitesse does not play a significant role here.
Echnatoll
This is what makes the Pokémon so crazy: Echnatoll is a Pokémon for fans of pharaohs and mummies, as it is a sarcophagus with 4 ghostly arms. It has a really nasty look and is logically a Ghost-type.
This is how strong the Pokémon will be: Echnatoll will not play a significant role in the Pokémon GO meta. While it has a high defense value, the other stats are weak, which is why it cannot reach much CP.
Rabigator
This is what makes the Pokémon so crazy: Rabigator is probably the coolest Pokémon from Generation 5. After all, it is a large crocodile that looks as if it is wearing sunglasses due to its color pattern.
This is how strong the Pokémon is: The crocodile can reach just over 3000 CP. Its attack value is 229, which makes it quite decent. With the right moves, it could be a good backup for Tyranitar or Groudon.
Unratütox
This is what makes the Pokémon so crazy: Unratütox lives up to its name, as it is actually just a bag of trash. Its facial expression does not look very happy either. Its evolution Deponitox is a large, walking pile of trash.
This is how strong the Pokémon is: The evolution Deponitox is unlikely to be very strong. It reaches 2428 CP and has stats that are not very good. Moreover, it is a Poison-type, which has not played a significant role in Pokémon GO so far.
Which Pokémon from Generation 5 do you find particularly quirky or funny?
Electronic Arts is now offering the online shooter Anthem as part of the EA Access and Origin Access programs. Only seven months after the launch.
What has Electronic Arts announced now? Anthem is now available as part of the EA Access and Origin Access subscription services. This means that those who have a subscription can now play the online shooter as part of their library. And that from just 4 euros a month. This is the Basic version of the game.
Anthem needs more players
Why is Anthem now part of this subscription service? Electronic Arts keeps adding games to this program and it was basically just a matter of time until Anthem appeared in the EA Access and Origin Access libraries. While it may seem a bit early for this to happen just seven months after the online shooter’s launch, it’s not that unusual. The same happened with Battlefield V.
With this step, EA is now making the game accessible to more customers. Anyone using one of the subscription services will surely take a look at Anthem, which in turn should lead to an increase in player numbers.
On which platforms is the game available? You can now play Anthem through the EA Access subscription service on PS4 and Xbox One. Through Origin Access, you play on PC.
If you even use Origin Access Premier, you will receive the “Legion of Dawn” edition of the online game with extra armor for your Javelins. This version was also available at release through Origin Access Premier.
How is Anthem doing? Anthem has had a very rocky start. The reviews were disappointing, and there was a lot of criticism from players. Anthem is still considered unfinished, has too little content, a less interesting story, and doesn’t convince many players.
Since its release in February, Anthem has been struggling for the favor of players, but success has been elusive so far. Many have already turned their backs on the title, and the game has left a noticeably visible stain on the reputation of the developer studio Bioware.
After developers left the team and there were complaints about the difficulty of finding teammates for missions, Anthem managed to spark some excitement with the Cataclysm update, at least for a little bit.

What do the players think? There are some players who are now showing interest in trying out Anthem since it is included in the subscription. Others are mocking it and claim that EA is “dumping” the game.
Most are now curious about what this means for the future of the online shooter. Can it attract more players? Will this step help Anthem succeed?
There is still the feeling that EA’s timing is unfortunate. Because Borderlands 3 has just been released, which many players are looking forward to, and a large part of the community is still busy with the recently released Gears 5. Therefore, the announcement that Anthem can now be played through EA Access and Origin Access might get overlooked.
What do you think? Can EA and Origin Access help Anthem succeed?
The platform Twitch has temporarily banned the LoL streamer Ashkan “TFBlade” Homayouni. In September 2019, he was the most-watched streamer of League of Legends. TF Blade is known for his good skills in League of Legends. But a world record seems to have pushed him over the edge – he called players in Turkey dogs.
Is TFBlade the biggest streamer? At the moment, TFBlade is at least the most-watched LoL streamer on Twitch. He has accumulated 2.4 million viewer hours in the last 30 days. The second-placed, the Korean Ambition, only reached 2 million hours (via Twitchmetrics).
However, the viewer hours and the growth of his Twitch channel show that TFBlade streams a lot and apparently produces content that people really want to see. But that’s exactly what will be his downfall.
He is the biggest Twitch streamer in LoL: Tyler1.
Frustration, fatigue, pressure led to outburst
What was TFBlade banned for? Initially, this was not known.
TFBlade only said: He was banned again on Twitch. He indicated that: A “chain of unfortunate events” had occurred. However, he says he will be back soon. Apparently, it is just a temporary ban from Twitch.
The behavior in the chat of the Turkish LoL already earned him a 14-day ban from Riot Turkey. That was a little more than a week ago.
TFBlade didn’t know he could be banned for that
This is what TFBlade says: He says he didn’t know he could be banned for calling people or a region “dogs” or “unintelligent” – even if it was out of pure frustration.
He behaved this way because he was under pressure to achieve his goal of reaching rank 1. To do this, he played 16 hours a day and wanted to give his best. However, he was deliberately hindered by other players who behaved toxically towards him.
He was frustrated, tired, and angry, and he let his negative emotions run free, he says.
TFBlade apologizes to the people he hurt. That was never his intention.
World record attempt seems to be breaking TFBlade
What is TFBlade doing right now? The Twitch streamer is considered an excellent LoL player. But he has taken on a task that seems to be pushing him to his limit: He wants to become number 1 on each server in all “LoL regions of the world after being so successful in North America.
And that seems to be wearing him out.
For this endeavor, he has to create new accounts and then level up from “Unranked” to 1st place in a region. That is already difficult enough.
Why is LoL getting to him? TFBlade embarked on a trip to Europe a month ago. He recently traveled to the Netherlands. This whole trip lasted over a month and has taken a toll on him.
He writes that he has played only on a laptop without stable internet during that time.
During the trip, he was heavily trolled by players who wanted to impede his world record. He was dissatisfied with the results.
He actually didn’t want to give up, but the circumstances now left him no choice. He is now on his way back to Canada and will finish “Turkey and EUNE” later.
Here he said about 3 weeks ago that he would either be banned in Turkey or all the trolls would be banned. He pleaded with Riot to protect him.
“He urgently needs to detox”
This is how people discuss it: On reddit , the ban of TFBlade is a big topic.
People there say TFBlade is an excellent player, but this world record is destroying him.
TFBlade plays countless ranked matches a day and tries to go from “Unranked” to “Rank 1”. In doing so, he often snaps at his teammates, even though they play at a much lower level than he does.
He has now become toxic to no end: LoL, tilt, and the pressure are getting to him. He urgently needs to take longer breaks between matches to detox.
One player even says: “Before he becomes number one on all servers, he will rather be banned from all servers.”
It’s going to be interesting to see what exactly the “unfortunate events” were that led to the Twitch ban.
This is not the first ban of TFBlade on Twitch this year:
Data miners have found something interesting for the upcoming patch of World of Warcraft . Two major cinematics have surfaced in the game files.
The next patch of World of Warcraft, the Update 8.2.5, is actually just a small interim patch that connects minor parts of the story and is supposed to lead to the next major update. Currently, the patch is being tested on the public test realm (PTR).
In the latest version, data miners have now found several files that provoke discussion. It seems that Patch 8.2.5 has two major cinematics.
How long are the cinematics? The two cinematics found in the game data have durations of 3:18 minutes and 6:18 minutes – these would be some of the largest cinematics available in the game.
Just for comparison: The ending of the Eternal Palace was only 1:22 minutes long and the death of Rastakhan was 2:00 minutes.
What is in the cinematics? This is not yet known. The cinematics are encrypted and can only be viewed once the first player unlocks them in the live version. Data miners have not yet been able to crack the encryption, and it is not expected.
However, it is suspected that the cinematics will bring a major story twist and reveal what Sylvanas’ grand plan is. Perhaps the cinematic also hints at the allegedly leaked expansion “Shadowlands”.
Are these just old videos? Some users on wowhead suspect, however, that the cinematics are just “old videos” of Saurfang that are now being implemented into the game. However, this would not exactly match the runtime, and there would be no reason for Blizzard to encrypt these videos. Nevertheless, this possibility should not be overlooked.
When will there be certainty? It is likely that we will not see the cinematics ourselves at the launch of Patch 8.2.5. It is very possible that the cinematics will be released late, only a few weeks before Patch 8.3. Typically, Blizzard has a “hidden” quest line that becomes active just before the next patch. That would be the perfect time for such a long cinematic that may have significant consequences.
What do you think is in these two cinematics? Are we expecting a major twist in Update 8.2.5? Or are these just “old cinematics” that have been added later?
In Destiny 2, the roadmap for Season 8 is known. Here’s what you can expect in the Season of the Undying after the Shadowkeep launch.
What happens after Shadowkeep? The major autumn expansion Shadowkeep will be released on October 1, 2019, on PS4, Xbox One, and Steam (PC). However, this date is not the only one when new content will go live in Destiny 2 this autumn.
The developers now show in a roadmap when and what to expect in autumn 2019 with Season 8. And the schedule is quite packed.
Some of it is Shadowkeep- and season-exclusive, while other content only requires ownership of the Destiny 2 base game:
Destiny 2 October Roadmap – Raid and Dungeon Launching
What’s planned for October: After the Shadowkeep launch, which is on a Tuesday, the next big content drop will happen that very weekend:
On October 5, the new Raid and Vex Offensive will launch.
It is known that the Raid is called “Garden of Salvation” and takes you to the Black Garden. You will need the Shadowkeep expansion in your possession for this.
The Vex Offensive will be a new activity about which we still know very little. It is available throughout Season 8 and brings specific loot with it.
On October 8, heroic and legendary Nightmare hunts will begin. The “Nightmare Hunts” represent a new endgame activity, where new difficulty levels will be unlocked throughout the season. It takes place on the Moon and is Shadowkeep-exclusive.
On October 15, one week later, Grandmaster Nightmare hunts will become active – likely an even harder version. Additionally, the Iron Banner PvP event will start, which is available for all Destiny 2 owners.
In the Nightmare Hunts, you will likely hunt nightmares of former enemies, such as Crota, Omnigul, or Skolas
On October 22, the quest for the Exotic heavy bow “Leviathan’s Breath” will begin. It is known that this bow will only be available through the Season Pass for Season 8.
At the end of October, a larger three-week event will begin, which all Destiny 2 owners can participate in:
On the same day, a new PvP mode will go live. It is called “Momentum Control” and likely represents a new version of the Control mode. All Guardians will have access to it.
Additionally, on October 29, another event will happen: The Exotic quest for the weapon Divinity will begin. We know that Divinity is a trace rifle that is raid-exclusive. Therefore, you will also need the Shadowkeep expansion for the Divinity quest.
Divinity
In November, the final assault of the Vex Offensive arrives
What to expect in November: While the Festival of the Lost will last until mid-November, something new will start in the raid at the beginning of November.
On November 5, the 1st raid challenge for Shadowkeep owners will begin. Since it is referred to as the “1st” raid challenge, it can be assumed that there will be more in the future.
In the past, one had to defeat raid bosses in raid challenges in specific ways to earn extra loot.
On November 19, the final assault of the Vex Offensive will take place.
Bungie announced in advance that something will happen during each future season that will be resolved again at the end of the season. In the Season of the Undying, this refers to the Vex invasion. These Vex invasions are expected to come to an end around November 19.
It is intended to prepare for the events in the next season.
By the way: After the Season of the Undying, three more seasons await you in the Destiny year. According to Bungie, they are full of exploration, rewards, and surprises. There will likely still be some surprises this Season 8 that are not contained in the roadmap.
This Sunday, September 15, the Community Day with Chelast takes place in Pokémon GO. We will show you how to make the most of it and provide you with information about the bonuses, Shinys, and times.
What is a Community Day? This event series takes place monthly in Pokémon GO and always revolves around a special Pokémon. Accordingly, the shiny form of the Pokémon is introduced, and bonuses round off the event.
Information about the Community Day in September – Bonuses and Start Time
What: The Pokémon GO Community Day in September 2019 When: On Sunday, September 15, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM German time Pokémon of the Day: Chelast Exclusive Move: Flora-Statue (exclusive to Chelterrar) Bonus: Triple amount of Stardust for catching Pokémon Bonus: During the Community Day, Chelast hatches from 2 km eggs and appears in raids Bonus: 3-hour lure modules Additional Bonus: To learn the exclusive move Flora-Statue, you can evolve Chelcarain until 4:00 PM
Take note of these times: The Community Day will, for the first time in a long while, take place in the morning. It starts at 11 AM. There will be no more afternoon Community Days this year.
How to make the most of the Community Day
How to best utilize the bonus: This time, there will be triple Stardust when catching Pokémon. This means you should catch as many Pokémon as possible.
This works best with the catching trick. With this trick, you can catch Pokémon particularly quickly and easily catch 200 more monsters in the 3 hours.
Each Pokémon brings Stardust, so you should catch every single Pokémon, even the most useless ones. Stardust is the most important resource in the game, so you should take full advantage of a triple bonus.
You can earn up to 2250 Stardust per Pokémon. Source: Spieletrend
Plan your playing location beforehand: The Community Day with Chelast will be quite rewarding thanks to the bonus, so you should also consider going to a better playing location. Therefore, if possible, leave your village because there are only a few Pokémon there.
Shiny Chelast, Chelcarain, and Chelterrar
Are there Shiny Chelast? There will also be Shiny Chelast for the first time during the Community Day. The shiny hunt can therefore start during the event.
How rare is Shiny Chelast? So far, the shiny chance during Community Days has always been increased. In the 3 hours, the shiny event Pokémon has been caught at a rate of about 1 in 25. This is significantly increased, as the normal chance is 1 in 450.
How strong is Flora-Statue? The move is already known from other Community Days with plant Pokémon and has been very strong there. Chelterrar will also be better with Flora-Statue, but due to the weak quick attack and low attack value, it does not hold up against other attackers.
How does Chelterrar learn the move? This is only possible on the Community Day. To do this, you need to evolve Chelcarain into Chelterrar on Sunday between 11 AM and 4 PM. The move cannot be taught through TMs.
Chelast with 100% IV – What to look out for
How to determine 100% IV Pokémon: You can easily find Chelast with 100% IV in your PokéBox. Just enter “4*” in the search bar and you will see all Pokémon with 100% IV.
Here Chelast has weather bonus: If it is sunny in the game, you can catch Chelast up to level 35. Without this bonus, you can only catch ones maxed out at level 30.
Use these items on Community Day
Star Pieces – 6 pieces
The most important item is the Star Piece. This way you not only get triple Stardust but 4.5 times Stardust. It is really worth it. Have 6 pieces in your bag, as each piece lasts for 30 minutes.
Egg Incubators – 9 pieces or more
During the Community Day, the Ultra Bonus is also active, which brings you shiny regional Pokémon in 7 km eggs. So if you are already walking a lot, you should hatch numerous eggs as well. Maybe you will also get a shiny here. Also, eggs bring you quite a bit of Stardust.
Lure Modules – 3 pieces or more
What is always worth it, are lure modules. They last for 3 hours during the event, and you can take a little break at them. It’s best to light them at a place where there are multiple stops at once.
Balls – 200 pieces or more
The spawns will be increased during the event, so you will definitely need many Pokéballs. Collect especially Super and Ultra Balls, as Chelast is not very easy to catch.
A new shiny could also come soon. At least many players hope for that:
The first Shift Codes for 3 golden keys in Borderlands 3 have been released. In this guide, we explain everything you need to know about the codes and their use.
What are these keys? On September 13, Borderlands 3 will launch. You will be able to shoot through desolate areas again with crazy weapons. To start well in the third part of the loot shooter, you can organize golden keys (golden keys) via Shift Codes.
With these, you can then draw rare or even legendary items (mostly weapons, because Borderlands) from a chest in the game.
How do I get golden keys? You secure the golden keys through Shift Codes. This system already existed in the old parts and continues in Borderlands 3. For that, you first need a Shift account.
What are Shift Codes? Shift Codes are 25-character combinations of numbers and letters. You can redeem these to claim cool rewards for one of the Borderlands titles.
How do I get Shift Codes? The easiest way to get Shift Codes is to follow collecting sites. A good tip for this is on Twitter.
The first Shift Code for 3 golden keys in Borderlands 3 is: ZFKJ3-TT3BB-JTBJT-T3JJT-JWX9H
How do I redeem Shift Codes for Borderlands 3? You can enter your Shift Codes via your browser or directly in the game. For that, you either need to log in with your Shift account or the login data of your platform on the Shift homepage. There, you can enter your codes under the “Rewards” tab. The Shift Code does not work on the VIP page at borderlands.com.
Attention! You must first select your platform to ensure your rewards are delivered correctly.
The interface on the Shift homepage
After that, you still need to select the game for which you want to redeem the codes. In your case, that should be Borderlands 3. Of course, it is also possible to enter the Shift Codes for older titles. However, keep in mind that you can only enter each code once per account.
If you are only shown the option for Borderlands 2, you will need to link your account with your platform.
You can also redeem your Shift Codes directly in the game. If you have already acquired Borderlands 3, you can enter your codes in the game as well. You just need to go to the appropriate Shift option in the start menu.
Now you just have to make your way to the golden chest in the game and turn the keys into great loot!
What about the golden keys from older titles? Unfortunately, we do not currently have a way for you to transfer your golden keys. So if you have collected 200 golden keys in Borderlands 2, you will not be able to enter them in Borderlands 3.
What is a Shift account? All rewards via Shift Codes or VIP points run through a Shift account in Borderlands. So if you do not have one yet, you can sign up on the Borderlands homepage or directly at Shift.
How to secure even more loot
Rewards through VIP points in Borderlands 3. There is another way to get cool rewards through your Shift account. This works through VIP points. You can find them in the same places as your Shift Codes and must enter them on the Borderlands homepage.
How it works with Borderlands VIP, we explain to you here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Av5Eyx3bGtM
The first tests are in: The first reviews of Borderlands 3 are largely positive. The diverse loot and the crazy weapons are especially praised. However, there is little innovation in the co-op shooter. The dark and crude humor is also highlighted but may not appeal to everyone.
Our author Leya has already played the full version for you.
You can find the review by MeinMMO for Borderlands 3 here:

What’s included in the update? On this day, there will be several new features. The expansion “Aether Unbound” will be released, bringing new details with it.
The weapon Aether Strikers will be introduced in the game. The weapon will be needed, as a new Behemoth is heading to the islands, and you must challenge it.
What else is supposed to happen: The developers promise that even more is coming. Features are being worked on that are all planned to be released throughout the year.
This winter, Dauntless will also come to the Nintendo Switch. So far, the action RPG can only be played on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
What can you do until the big update? Even before Update 1.0, there is a lot to experience in Dauntless. The current season offers 2 season passes, and you can not only fight Behemoths there. It’s worth checking out the action RPG now before it officially launches on September 26 and leaves Early Access.
What is Book of Travels? With Book of Travels, a new game is coming to Steam, listed there as “Indie MMORPG”. However, it aims to distinguish itself even by name from traditional MMORPGs and therefore comes up with the designation TMO – “Tiny Multiplayer Online”.
As a TMO, Book
of Travels focuses on exploring the world for yourselves and
rarely encountering other players. The game’s description states:
There are only a few other players, but your paths may cross. It is up to you whether you want to travel together or stay alone.
Book of Travels is
being developed by the indie studio that has already created the adventure games Shelter
and Shelter 2. Both games were received as “very positive” by the
Steam community.
When will Book of Travels be released? The release date for Book of Travels is only listed as 2020 on Steam. A Kickstarter is set to take place on October 17 (via PCGamer). You can also find more information on the developers’ Twitter channel.
A new approach to the MMORPG genre
Here are the features: The core feature of Book of Travels is supposed to be travel. This serves as the motive of the game, as players should be able to move with vehicles or on foot to explore the world and meet other players. Other features include:
a fairy-tale role-playing world based on Eastern mythology
Authentic role-playing – characters are created according to their own style and goals, not by class and stats
a casual narrative with random events that invite players to explore rather than direct them
a communication system with symbols that must be learned first
Many of the features
sound as if the interaction between players is intentionally made more difficult, which could simultaneously make it appealing.
Overcoming boundaries seems to be an important part of the game.
What is the goal of the game? The focus in Book of Travels is entirely on exploring the game world. That’s how you can best develop your character. The RPG elements are designed for you to explore the world.
Through exploration, you will gain experience points with which you can unlock over 300 skills, magical abilities, or passive traits. There will also be battles, but “you learn more from a defeat than from a victory,” as the developers note.
If you are an anime fan or are into overpowered weapons, you should definitely take this weapon in Borderlands 3. We will show you how to get the weapon.
Borderlands 3 is full of crazy ideas and features a lot of Easter eggs that reference real-world events or content from pop culture. The YouTuber Arekkz encountered a very special enemy while playing Borderlands 3, which is sure to put a smile on the faces of anime fans.
There is a “One Punch” enemy that can drop a pretty powerful weapon. This is a clear reference to the anime “One Punch Man”.
What is One Punch Man? One Punch Man is an anime that has become quite popular in recent years. As blunt as the title is, so is the plot, though it is filled with a lot of humor. The main character Saitama has trained so hard that he is able to defeat all enemies with just one punch.
This naturally leads to a lot of slapstick humor when opponents give long speeches, only to be defeated by a single punch.

What kind of weapon is this? The weapon “One Pump Chump” is a legendary shotgun with a lot of punch. It has a 50% chance of not consuming ammo when fired and several other strong bonuses. It has a drastically increased critical hit chance, and weapon damage is increased by more than 1000%. The exact values vary with the weapon’s level.
Due to the extremely high damage, the weapon is capable of eliminating most normal enemies with just one shot – just like One Punch Man.

Where can you find the weapon? You can get the weapon on the planet Promethea. There, you will head to “Lectra City”. Walk a few steps north and climb down the stairs. Then, follow the long underground tunnel until you can go into a small niche on the left side.
If you look to the right, you will see the door from which “One Punch” will appear. However, to make him come out, you need to go left into a small room. There are several switches and activatable items that you need to use. The goal is for all the monitors next to the door to light up.
The combination may vary slightly each time, so you will have to experiment. However, Arekkz had multiple successes with this combination:
The button on the white cabinet far left.
The dial on the right side.
The lever (on the ground) to the right.
The lever switch on the white cabinet (left).
After that, the boss “One Punch” will appear – which you should kill quickly. If he reaches you, he will knock you down with a single blow, just like a real One Punch Man.
Will you get this funny weapon? Or are you afraid that it is too powerful and will ruin your fun?
