A dedicated politician from Baden wants to become mayor. His idea to attract voters: A consultation hour. But unlike his colleagues, he is doing it in the virtual world of World of Warcraft.
Who is this man? The quirky idea came from mayoral candidate Jürgen Durke in Lahr, a large district town in the Schwarzwald in western Baden-Württemberg. He is competing against four other candidates to be elected as mayor.
Jürgen Durke is 43 years old, sits on the city council of Lahr, and is running as a candidate for the Animal Protection Party. By profession, he is an industrial designer.
This is how Durke campaigns for votes: Instead of campaigning with flyers, events, and house visits like his competitors, Durke has chosen a completely different location: The Moonwell in Auberdine. For Horde players: Auberdine is (or was) a village in Darkshore.

By the way, it refers to the Auberdine in WoW Classic, as Durke explicitly pointed out that the meeting takes place on the server “Lakeshire”, one of the new German servers. Durke himself traveled there with a character named “OBKandidat” to the night elf area.
Candidate collects votes in WoW
How did the consultation hour go? Unfortunately, we cannot say exactly how many potential voters actually gathered around Durke. According to report by the Badische Zeitung, the reporting editorial team lacked gamers who could or wanted to participate.
Due to the hype around WoW Classic, there are at least no shortage of potential interested parties who could have attended the consultation hour.
The ruins of Auberdine. A Moonwell is hard to find here.
At least Auberdine is still standing in WoW Classic and is quite easy to reach. Additionally, the area is not too crowded, unlike the starting areas of other races:
These are the fastest players in FIFA 20. We present the top 25 best sprinters and provide their pace and rating. Additionally, you will find fast forwards, fast midfielders, and fast defenders in the list.
That’s why fast players are important in FIFA 20: Pace has been a major topic in the FIFA community for years. In many FIFA installments, a player’s pace has been a game-changing factor. All you had to do was throw long balls forward, and the fast forwards would grab them and run away from everyone.
In FIFA 20, the pace balance changes again. Pace is supposed to be more decisive. Therefore, it is worth putting swift players on the pitch. Let’s take a look at the fastest players that FIFA 20 has to offer in FUT.
What is pace exactly? This value shown on player cards in Ultimate Team indicates how fast a player is. Pace consists of the individual stats “acceleration” and “sprint speed” and plays an important role in team building for many fans.

The 25 best pace players in FIFA 20
These are the fastest players with the highest pace:
Adama Traore – 96 pace, 74 rating (RF, Wolverhampton Wanderers)
Kylian Mbappé – 96 pace, 89 rating (ST, PSG)
Anibal Chala – 95 pace, 66 rating (LV, Toluca)
Kensuke Nagai – 95 pace, 69 rating (ST, FC Tokyo)
Gelson Martins – 95 pace, 82 rating (RM, AS Monaco)
Leroy Sane – 95 pace, 86 rating (LF, Manchester City)
Douglas Costa – 94 pace, 84 rating (LM, Piemonte Calcio)
Alex Kiwomya – 94 pace, 61 rating (RM, Doncaster Rovers)
Elliott List – 94 pace, 62 rating (ST, Gillingham)
Many more players with 93 rating follow, such as Braydon Manu and Marcel Heller from Darmstadt or Rahem Sterling (Manchester City) and Salah (Liverpool).
The fastest players with pace over 95, source: futwiz
The fastest player in FIFA 20: The top spot with 96 pace is shared by Adama Traore and Kylian Mbappe, although the card of the French talent is likely to be much more coveted. Because he has a much higher overall rating:
The currently highest pace value in FUT: The card that has the highest pace so far is the Prime Icon card of Ronaldo Nazario. It has an enormous 97 pace:
The two wingers from FC Bayern do not appear in the list of the fastest 25 players. In FIFA 19, both had high pace values over 90. Coman had a strong 94 and was among the fastest players overall, Gnabry had 91.
In FIFA 20, however, the pace values of both Bayern players decrease:
Coman drops by 2 points to 92 pace in FIFA 20
Gnabry drops by one point to 90 in FIFA 20
Therefore, while both still have strong pace values, they are not among the absolute top sprinters in FIFA 20. By the way, Coman is no longer a 5-star skiller.
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne gives you a new weapon – the Clutch Claw. We explain in this guide how you can quickly defeat monsters with an attack from this claw.
In addition to some good new weapons that Monster Hunter World: Iceborne has brought, there is also a new weapon tool. The so-called Clutch Claw (clutch-claw) is always automatically available on your arm. So you don’t have to equip anything further to use this practical hook. And this weapon has an attack that you should definitely learn.
How do you use the weapon for this attack? With the new Clutch Claw, you can pull yourself towards monsters in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and latch onto them.
To achieve this, you need to trigger your slinger. Now you don’t shoot your slinger ammunition as usual, but you have to press Circle or B to use the Clutch Claw.
The Clutch Claw in action
Are there differences in weapons? For some of the 14 weapon types, like insect glaive or bow, you also need to use the right stick. So make sure to check the characteristics of your weapon in the training room before using it against a real monster. You can also complete an optional quest that explains the handling of the Clutch Claw in more detail.
How can you attack the monster then? As soon as you’ve managed to latch onto the monster with your Clutch Claw, the fun part begins. You can then change its running direction or attack with your weapon by pressing Circle (PS4) or B (Xbox One). You can attack as usual with Triangle or Y.
Depending on the weapon, it is then easier to injure certain body parts of the monster, or it drops slinger ammunition.
What is the strongest attack of the Clutch Claw?
Use this attack: The Knockback Shot is like the secret weapon of the Clutch Claw. When using the Clutch Claw, there is a skill that deals a lot of damage if done correctly. With the Knockback Shot, you can injure the monster on the head so that it slams against an obstacle and takes extra damage.
The Knockback Shot
What do you need to consider with the Knockback Shot?
You need slinger ammunition
The attack does not work with dung pods, flash pods, scream pods, or knife items
You cannot use the attack when the monster is angry
You must be in tight spaces or near an obstacle
You need to apply the claw to the head or jump there while latched on
The claw consumes a lot of stamina
How do you use the Knockback Shot effectively? If you want to use this strong attack, you first need to trigger your Clutch Claw. Then you go for the monster’s head.
The goal here is to hit the monster’s head from the start. While it’s possible to swing along them, this comes with disadvantages:
Your stamina might run out on the way to the head
The monster can throw you off if you take too long
How do you achieve extra damage with the new weapon?
This is how you initiate the strong attack: If you have latched onto the head of the monster, the real work begins. You can now waste all your slinger ammunition with a press of the R2/RT button.
Before you execute the attack, make sure that the monster has an obstacle in its line of sight.
What happens then to the monster? Once you’ve fired the Knockback Shot, the monster stumbles in the direction it’s facing. It is therefore essential that an obstacle is in that direction. The easiest place for this is in tight spaces, where walls are waiting for the monster everywhere.
If you’ve done everything right, the monster will slam into an obstacle – wonderful! Against a Master Rank Uragaan, this deals almost 2000 damage points.
After the attack is before the attack: Once you’ve executed the Knockback Shot against an obstacle, you should immediately look for slinger ammunition for the next attack. If you incorporate this attack regularly, your fights will become significantly shorter.
Here you can find out everything else about the new monsters in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne:

The Atom Shop of Fallout 76 has been stocked with new items. Among them: A fridge with a special function. This particular item is currently sparking a larger discussion in the community.
What kind of fridge is this? The new item is called “Stainless Steel Fridge” and is available in the Atom Shop of Fallout 76 for 700 atoms (approximately €7). The fridge …
can be placed as an item in the C.A.M.P.
can hold up to 15 food items.
ensures that food and drinks spoil 50% slower.
The fridge was implemented with the latest Update 13 in Fallout 76. Along with it, a collection of Collectrons was released, which can be purchased for 500 atoms. The Collectrons collect items and junk in your C.A.M.P.
However, players wish that the fridges could also be unlocked through a quest in the game. They see it as “a missed opportunity to implement a great quest line,” similar to the ProSnap Deluxe camera.
The ProSnap Deluxe was received quite well. Both the quest and challenges and new skins were well received by fans.
The fact that only this variant of the fridge is available for purchase is also rather disappointing. They wish that a functional item like the fridge should be available for free and that only cosmetics should be paid for.
In a larger thread on the topic with over 1,300 upvotes, the user MrTestiggles suggests that “rusty” versions should be free. Various variants with a visually nicer look, such as in a Nuka-Cola style or in Raider style, should then cost between 300 and 500 atoms.
Why are players so sensitive? The discussion is rooted in the fact that Fallout 76 has previously caused discontent with purchasable repair kits. Players felt betrayed because items that are not purely cosmetic can be purchased for real money.
Some players, who have earned atoms in-game and have never paid for them, say that they do not want to buy the fridges just to not support this practice. They fear the gradual introduction of loot boxes.
How things will proceed now remains to be seen. So far, community feedback has often been taken into account:
With Astellia a new MMORPG will soon be released in the West. We present you with five things you should definitely know before buying.
The following information is meant to give you an overview of the upcoming MMORPG Astellia. It will be released on September 28 in the West, with the head start for pre-orders beginning 7 days earlier.
1. This is Astellia
What is Astellia? The theme park MMO Astellia was released in December 2018 as a free-to-play game in Korea and was developed by Studio 8 and BarunsOn E&A.
Astellia has made it their goal to appeal to the classic MMORPG fan and design a fair payment system.
We notice at MeinMMO that the interest in the game is quite large. Players are thirsty for a new theme park MMORPG.
What does Astellia cost? Astellia will be released as a buy-to-play title in the West. The cheapest pre-order package costs 40 euros.
However, there is also the subscription option for 10 euros per month, which allows unrestricted MMO play. The subscription is especially suitable for testing if you are still unsure or if you just want to play through for the story.

2. Astellia is oriented towards traditional values
How is Astellia structured? In the MMORPG, you start with character creation and are then released into a world full of dangers. There are five classes to choose from, which can be classically assigned to the Holy Trinity:
Warriors are the tanks
Scholars take care of healing
Mages deal damage and can create shields
Assassins cause damage in melee
Archers for damage at range
The combat system is somewhat rigid but is supposed to become a bit more dynamic with minor adjustments before release. After all, you can use many abilities while moving, and there is a small dodge roll that adds a bit of momentum.
Even outside the combat system, Astellia holds few surprises. The quest system is traditionally built and somewhat monotonous with a lot of running around, comparable to WoW Classic.
There are also no major surprises in the 4-player dungeons and crafting. Only the Astels, your companions in battle, deviate somewhat from the usual features.
Astels are intended to assist you in combat. They can also take on the roles of tank, healer, or damage dealer. In a trading card system, you can collect up to 33 Astels and use exactly the ones that can help you the most in each situation.
There are even specific combo attacks that Astels can perform with you.
4. The endgame consists of dungeons and PvP
What can you expect in Astellia’s endgame? Your character has 50 levels ahead in Astellia until it reaches the maximum level. After that, you can look forward to the following content:
Legendary equipment can be earned through dungeons but also through crafting.
5. Astellia is specifically adapted for the West
What makes the western version different? In order for Astellia not to flop in the West, the developers have taken some precautions. The game has become buy-to-play instead of free-to-play, while many items and content that would be considered pay-to-win have been removed from the shop.
However, the MMORPG has also undergone adaptations in other areas:
Some former shop contents like dungeon tickets can be actively earned.
The gender lock has been relaxed for the first two classes and is expected to be removed for others as well.
Since the end of July, AMD’s new Ryzen processors have been available for purchase. However, the Ryzen processors are hardly available anymore. Now, AMD’s strongest Ryzen is orderable from a seller, along with more information about the Ryzen 9 3950X. The processor is expected to be available soon.
AMD has made a real hit with its new Ryzen 3000 series. Many want to buy the Ryzen processors, but by now processors like the Ryzen 9 3900X are hardly available or only available at high prices. Now, on the page of a retailer, AMD’s strongest processor is orderable, the Ryzen 9 3950X.
AMD’s Flagship Ryzen 9 3950X Listed at Swiss Retailer
The Swiss retailer www.digitec.ch is currently offering the previously unknown processor from AMD for sale at 999 Swiss Francs. This equals about 911 Euros. According to the site, the sales start is on September 30, 2019. However, the seller also points out that delivery in September is not guaranteed.
Is the Ryzen 9 3950X available from the end of September? Source: digitec.ch
AMD Ryzen 9 3950X Offers More Cores Than the AMD Ryzen 3900X
According to digitec.ch, the new Ryzen 9 3950X has 16 cores and 32 threads. The single core clocks at 3.50 GHz and offers a turbo clock frequency of 4.70 GHz. Thus, the Ryzen 9 3950X clocks slightly lower than the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, which has a clock frequency of 3.80 GHz but only has 12 cores.
Who Is the Ryzen 9 3950X Interesting For?
Processor for Multitasking: Many cores and many threads can handle many tasks. Especially professional photo editing, film rendering, and other CPU-intensive programs require many cores.
New Ryzen with High Performance: If you need a lot of performance and run many processes simultaneously and have many programs running in parallel, then the Ryzen 9 3950X can be quite interesting for you.
The Ryzen 9 3950X was officially announced this year at the E3 (via Gamestar) with a price of 749 dollars. A Core i9 9960X costs around 1500 US dollars in comparison. Thus, the new AMD CPU would be significantly cheaper to purchase than Intel’s CPU. AMD also promised at E3 that both 16-core CPUs should be comparable.
Will There Be More Ryzen Processors?
A list from the Eurasian Economic Commission listed more Ryzen processors back then. However, not much is known about these processors so far.
On the list of the Eurasian Economic Commission were the following Ryzen processors:
Ryzen 5 3500
Ryzen 5 PRO 3600
Ryzen 7 PRO 3700
Ryzen 9 PRO 3900
Everything we currently know about further new Ryzen processors can be found here:
In FIFA 20, you can play the demo online. At least on PS4. We will show you a trick on how to play the demo version online with friends in multiplayer.
Does the FIFA 20 demo have an online mode? No, in the current test version of FIFA 20, there is no specific multiplayer mode where you can compete online against other players or friends.
Instead, there are only offline modes: a slimmed-down kick-off mode and a brief insight into the new Volta world.
However, there is a trick on PlayStation 4 that allows you to challenge your friends online in the demo. We will show you how it works.
Play with friends via SharePlay
These are the requirements: You and your friends need a strong internet connection. Ideally over 50 MBit/s. Additionally, at least one person must have downloaded and installed the FIFA 20 demo on PS4. PS Plus is also required.
Here’s how it works:
Start the FIFA 20 demo and go into the kickoff mode. Now wait at the team selection and open the PS4 menu by clicking the middle button on your controller, where the PlayStation symbol is
Now invite your buddy to a party through the PS4 menu.
On the right side of the party, select “Share Play”
Press “Hand over controller to visitor”
and then “Play together”.

Keep in mind that you need a PS Plus subscription for this action, and a SharePlay session lasts a maximum of one hour.
If your internet connection is fast enough, your friend will now appear at the team selection in kickoff mode. He can take control of the opposing team, and you can play the demo against each other.
However, keep in mind that you are both “sharing” the screen. The opponent sees everything you see. With the new penalties and free kicks, this is quite unfavorable.
There will now be a new voting feature for the Skin Shop in Fortnite. This will be available after update 10.30. You can vote on which item should come to the shop. Here are the details.
What is this voting feature? Through the voting feature, players will be able to vote on which item should return to the Item Shop.
How does it work? During the community vote, you have one vote per day. You can use this vote to choose a favorite item that should return to the Item Shop. Once the countdown for the community decision ends, the item with the most votes will be brought back to the Item Shop for a limited time.
However, keep in mind that your submitted vote cannot be changed on the same day. But you can cast a new vote the following day.
Vote tomorrow
When will this feature be available? The first community vote starts after the update 10.30.
Check back on September 12 at 2:00 AM when the Item Shop is updated to cast your first vote.
Perhaps there is a chance to choose one of the rare skins to bring it back to the Item Shop.
“Rest in peace rare skins”
Community opinions: The biggest discussion on Twitter is about the popular OG skins, the skins of the “Original Gangster”, who have been playing Fortnite for a long time.
Many on Twitter think that the rare skins could be an option and would be chosen immediately. It is said:
“Everyone will choose the rare skins – haha”
“Rest in peace rare skins!”
However, there are also players who are excited about this new voting feature. It is said:
“Finally, we can vote”
“The excitement is great”

We present to you the 5 best MMORPGs to play together as a co-op game with 2 people. Ideal for partners or really good friends.
When thinking of an MMO or MMORPG, one usually imagines being in large groups. But that doesn’t have to be the case. There are definitely online games where you receive bonuses when you’re out with just two.
Often, it’s just more fun to experience an adventure in an online game together with friends. You know each other, work well as a team, and understand how to interact with your buddy.
Sometimes even couples play together, wanting to be a couple in the game and maybe even get married online. There are many reasons why one might prefer to play with just one person rather than in a group with strangers.
This is why co-op bonuses are important: Especially when this co-op gameplay is rewarded, it becomes particularly enjoyable. Some MMOs reward you for being part of a small group or even getting married. Players then receive a bonus.
Today, we’re introducing you to several MMORPGs where playing in pairs is especially fun.
How did we compile the list? The ranking was made based mostly on subjective decisions (like, how does the story feel in pairs) and depended on whether there are many bonuses for co-op gameplay.
5. Star Wars: The Old Republic
How does SWTOR encourage playing in pairs? If you team up in Star Wars: The Old Republic as a duo in a group, you receive bonus EXP for completing missions. So it’s worth doing quests with at least one other player.
Especially as a pair, it’s more fun to complete the tasks and then enjoy the bonus EXP at the end.

What other bonuses does SWTOR offer for co-op players? In SWTOR, each class has its own story. If you don’t want to experience each story separately, you can team up with a friend and tackle your two stories together. However, it’s necessary that each of you chooses a class that starts on the same planet. That way you can find each other quickly.
Then you play through both stories together, experiencing your friend’s story, which can be an exciting co-op experience. However, some events must be completed twice.
4. Guild Wars 2
How does Guild Wars 2 encourage playing in pairs? Guild Wars 2 features a cross-class synergy system. This means that the abilities of two classes can affect and complement each other.
For example, it’s possible for an elementalist to summon a wall of fire. Their partner, a ranger, then shoots his arrows through this fire, causing them to burn and deal more damage to opponents.
All classes have synergy effects among one another, and players must figure out which ones fit their group best. This makes cooperation between two players in Guild Wars 2 particularly tactical.

What other bonuses does Guild Wars 2 offer for co-op players? The story of Guild Wars 2 mainly takes place in instances. Each player thus experiences their own version of the story. You can invite other players into these instances. This scales the difficulty based on the number of participants.
If you want to experience the story in pairs, you can enjoy the instances that way and receive a player experience tailored to both of you.
3. Secret World Legends
In the tutorial, a traveling boss appears briefly.
How does Secret World Legends encourage playing in pairs? Secret World Legends is an MMO that places great importance on telling an exciting story. The missions are structured like episodes of a series, providing always an interesting experience.
You can also experience this in co-op. To do this, you team up with a buddy and experience the story together. It’s simply more fun. The co-op gameplay feels good, and you won’t be disturbed by other, unfamiliar players.
Although sometimes it is necessary to complete a solo mission, this only minimally disturbs the communal flow of the game. Secret World Legends is particularly great to play in pairs due to its focus on the story.

What other bonuses does Secret World Legends offer for co-op players? When you use weapons in-game that have the same attack type, the same defense, or the same special effect, a synergy effect occurs.
Therefore, you should select weapons in your team that positively affect each other, so you can benefit from these synergy effects such as particularly powerful attacks or special effects like “Damage over Time”.
2. The Elder Scrolls Online
How does ESO encourage playing in pairs?ESO offers so-called synergies. These are abilities that you can combine with other players. You don’t even have to be in a group with these players.
When a player uses a synergy ability, another player nearby sees a symbol pop up and can react with his corresponding skill. This creates a powerful synergy effect, which helps you defeat boss enemies faster together.
For example, it’s possible through synergies to deal a lot of damage or become invisible.

What other bonuses does ESO offer for co-op players? In the MMORPG, you can even get married. This not only brings a celebration, but those who enter into a marriage with another player also receive a bonus.
If you both wear the wedding ring and are online after the wedding ceremony, each of you will receive 10 percent more EXP.
The Elder Scrolls Online is therefore an MMORPG that is particularly well suited for playing in pairs.
1. Final Fantasy XIV
How does FF14 encourage playing in pairs? Once you reach level 15 in the game, you can team up as a duo to cooperatively complete dungeons. You will then be “synced” to a common level. This way, you can comfortably experience the story together.
However, there are also solo instances throughout the story that everyone must complete alone. Other than that, Final Fantasy XIV is very enjoyable to play with two.

What other bonuses does FF14 offer for co-op players? In the MMORPG, it is possible to marry your partner. To do this, you need to book a ceremony of eternal bond. After the wedding, there are some rewards based on the level of the wedding (Standard, Gold, or Platinum). With the Eternity Ring, you teleport to your partner and receive the “Hug” emote as well as new hairstyles.
In higher statuses, you also receive rewards such as a Chocobo as a mount, the Demon Box as a pet, and a Moogle as a minion for the visitors of the celebration.
However, the wedding at higher levels costs money (Gold Plan costs $10 per player, Platinum Plan $20).
Are there any other MMOs that you have played in pairs and would recommend for a cooperative experience?
A new MMORPG has appeared on Steam that copies both Diablo and World of Warcraft. It is set to be released in September 2019, but whether that will become reality remains to be seen.
What kind of game is this? The title of the new MMORPG is “Diablo_IslanD” and comes from the apparently independent developer Victor Studio, whose only game on Steam is this one.
The story takes place on a continent that has become an island after a catastrophe, where resources are only available in limited quantities. “Diablo_IslanD” describes itself as a “real adventure island survival game”:
A round of play is limited to one hour, during which a throne must be occupied.
There are various treasures that can be excavated.
Regularly, crates with equipment and gems appear.
Various monsters roam the area, some of which will require groups to defeat them.
Whoever dies loses everything.
When is the game supposed to be released? According to the Steam website of the game, the release is already in September 2019, so quite soon. A price is not yet known.
A brazen copy of WoW and Diablo
Here’s how the game copies Blizzard: Not only is the name inspired by the popular Diablo franchise. The HUD is also a quite obvious copy of World of Warcraft and Diablo.
The two spheres on the left and right are classic elements known from Diablo 2. Many of the icons that likely represent abilities or spells will probably seem familiar to players of World of Warcraft.
The world itself also consists of parts that seem to be copied from World of Warcraft. Many of the ground textures look exactly like those older textures that appear in the current nostalgia hype WoW Classic .
This suggests that the game has little chance of actually being released. Even if it is released, Blizzard will likely file a lawsuit shortly thereafter. However, anyone hoping for something new from Diablo can look forward to Blizzcon:
Armor 2.0 will be one of the biggest changes for Destiny 2. However, Bungie is excluding Weapons 2.0 and instead wants to focus on further builds.
Where does this new information come from? Luke Smith, Franchise Director of Destiny, spoke during a long interview in the “Cool Friends” talk format about his personal past as well as current changes in Destiny 2. He also addressed why Weapons 2.0 is currently not a topic at Bungie and what they are working on instead.
What is the deal with Weapons 2.0? Bungie is introducing a new armor system with the expansion Shadowkeep. They themselves refer to it as Armor 2.0, as it represents an evolution of the current armor system. The new system should allow Guardians to customize their armor according to their playstyle without having to compromise on aesthetics.
Now, it seemed obvious for some Guardians that Bungie might also plan such a system for the weapons in Destiny 2. However, as Bungie explained, this will unfortunately not happen anytime soon. The reason for this is relatively simple according to Luke Smith.
That’s why Bungie is currently not working on Weapons 2.0
Why will there be no overhaul of the weapon system? Luke Smith already addressed in very long blog posts what changes will come and what the future of Destiny 2 holds for the Guardians.
He now revealed in the interview with “Cool Friends” that there is a part in his blog posts that has not been published. In it, he talks among other things about infusing weapons and the bond that Guardians are supposed to build with their weapons. He also mentions that players should not hope for Weapons 2.0 for now.
According to Smith, the focus is currently on Armor 2.0. They want to concentrate on further developing build crafting – offering more customization options for playstyles. This is currently more important, and therefore Guardians should not hope for Weapons 2.0 for now.
While Guardians wish that certain weapons feel particularly good in certain activities, Smith says. However, Bungie does not hear active demands for a general improvement of the weapon system from the community. The system is currently fine. For this reason, they want to stick to the current weapon system and improve it in some places (but not fundamentally).
What is Armor 2.0? The new armor system is intended to bring more individuality and depth to the game. In the future, you will no longer have to choose between good looks and the effectiveness of your armor; instead, you can combine both.
Each piece of armor can be equipped with mods starting from the release of Shadowkeep, which will grant you bonuses. There will also be new stats that offer additional possibilities for combining mods and bonuses. The appearance can additionally be adjusted with universal ornaments.
This way, one can assemble various builds and adjust them to their playstyle or specific tasks. In the future, they want to expand this system to give build crafting more depth, thus creating even more possibilities for players instead of crafting Weapons 2.0.
The top streamers on Twitch in August 2019 are known: The channels that were watched the most. The self-proclaimed WoW nerd Asmongold is at number 1 thanks to WoW Classic. He surpasses shooter specialists Tfue, xQc, and Shroud – because he streamed like crazy. But that’s what almost everyone does – only the German streamer Montanablack is an exception.
What kind of statistic is this? It is the statistic of the channels that were watched the most, by hours. However, only “individual Twitch streamers” are counted here, not game or event channels. The huge CS:GO tournament in Berlin or theDota 2 channel had a crazy amount of watched hours on Twitch recently, but they are excluded.
According to the numbers from Sullygnome, WoW streamer Asmongold was slightly ahead in August 2019:
Asmongold took first place.
closely followed by Fortnite streamer Turner “Tfue” Tenney in second place – both are over 10 million watched hours.
places 3 to 10 are relatively close. The German streamer Montanablack takes 10th place.
The Top 8 Streamers on Twitch: WoW Classic Stronger Since September
What are the numbers for the last 30 days? If you don’t take August but the last 30 days, the picture has significantly shifted towards “WoW Classic.” WoW Classic started on August 27.
Looking at the last 30 days, the dominance of WoW Classic is much clearer:
Asmongold achieved 16,250,327 hours. This corresponds to just over 1855 years. He himself was online for 263 hours. Thus, the self-proclaimed WoW nerd is currently the most-watched streamer on Twitch by a significant margin.
German Streamer Only “Slightly” On Air, But Many Viewers
This is remarkable from a German perspective: The German Twitch streamer Montanablack is in 8th place with 4,555,658 hours – but was only 90 hours online.
He currently streams mainly gambling under the category “Slots”. This seems to be incredibly popular in Germany.
In a patch, Hearthstone has drastically changed a mechanic. “Discover” now works differently, which significantly affects some classes.
A bit surprisingly, there was a small patch for Hearthstone that brought some changes. It primarily includes the still missing data for the adventure “Graves of Horror”, but also some adjustments and changes. The biggest change concerns the “Discover” mechanic, which now operates differently than before.
This is how Blizzard changes “Discover”: Discover allows the player to choose from three cards, from which they can then select one. Only cards of their own class as well as neutral cards are offered. However, cards of their own class previously had a 4-times higher chance to appear than neutral cards.
This will now change. In the future, all cards will have the same chance to appear during discover – regardless of whether they are a class card or a neutral card.
Why was this changed? Over the years, various discover effects have become increasingly restrictive and precise. For example, there is the possibility to discover a minion that costs 1 mana – in some classes, this pool contains only a handful of cards. If one of them was a class card, then there was an extremely high chance that this card was offered almost every time.
What are the implications? Due to the change in the “Discover” mechanic, a few classes have been “silently” nerfed. This particularly affects Warriors who, through their hero card Dr. Boom or other discover effects, could generate many strong mechs of their class. But other classes, such as Priests, are also affected by this change. Overall, this mechanic becomes a bit “more colorful” and ensures that players see more different cards.
What do you think about this change to discover? Is it a good and reasonable nerf for some classes? Or is Blizzard ruining a mechanic and bringing more RNG?
With Monster Hunter World: Iceborne come additional styling options, a photo mode, and more cool options for Fashion Hunters.

Moisty Palms: In the video, you can see how players suddenly transform into objects after standing still for a few seconds. They visually become a toilet, a grill, or a shelf. Surprisingly, they can then attack unsuspecting players who enter the zone and do not recognize the transformed people.
Using the crouch button, you transform into an object. As an object, you remain vulnerable.
Greasy Grove: For this new rift zone, Fortnite seemingly came up with a taco theme. The developers state that tacos are the favorite dish there and just the smell brings people there to celebrate.
Occasionally, spicy tacos rain from the sky. If you are in this zone during this time, you will be forced to dance. During this time, you are invulnerable and restore 20 health per second. The only damage you take is from the storm.
Eating spicy tacos restores 10 health (green health + shield). In addition, your movement speed is increased by 40% for 20 seconds.

In Pokémon GO the 7-km eggs are particularly interesting right now. But there are some issues with gifts and friends in the game. The gift limit is annoying, and trainers want to delete eggs.
What is happening right now? In Pokémon GO, the second week of the Ultra Bonus is currently taking place. Trainers are rewarded by having regional Kanto Pokémon hatch from 7-km eggs. To make hatching easier, incubators are now twice as effective. This combination is actually a reason for joy if the gift mechanics in the game didn’t spoil the fun.
What is being criticized? One of the criticisms is the gift limit in Pokémon GO. The 7-km eggs can only be obtained from gifts from friends. However, they are not guaranteed. At most, 20 gifts can be opened per day. Players would like to open more gifts to get more 7-km eggs and have a better chance of getting the desired Pokémon.
Why are players becoming bad friends?
This is the problem: On Reddit , the user MIguy- started a thread where he writes that the event is making players bad friends. And he is one of them.
He describes the problem he sees as follows:
After I cleared my egg slots, it took Monday 15 gifts and Tuesday 14 gifts to fill the egg inventory with 7-km eggs. Just shortly after noon, I had hatched those nine eggs. When I unpacked the last remaining gifts, I received two 7-km eggs from them.
His problem now is that he will not turn any PokéStops for the rest of the day, so he doesn’t receive any 2-km, 5-km, or 10-km eggs that take up space in the egg inventory. This means he won’t receive new gifts from stops that he can then send to his friends. This makes him a “bad friend”.
Possible solutions: As a solution, other players write that they never hatch 9 eggs at the same time and thus avoid this problem. But that is not a permanent solution for many.
Another player writes that he always fills his Pokémon storage slots to the brim so that he doesn’t receive extra eggs. But that would be an uncomfortable way of playing, others describe.
The big wishes for eggs and gifts
This should change: The gift system in Pokémon GO is currently being hotly discussed by trainers. One player says on Reddit: “Honestly, the whole egg system needs to be reworked.”
No limit: One of the big wishes of the players is currently the removal of the gift limit. Since players have no guarantee that an egg comes from a gift, they wish to open more gifts per day. Or guaranteed 7-km eggs from the gifts.
Delete eggs: Another demand is to finally be able to delete eggs. Players want to decide for themselves which egg they want to keep and hatch and which not. Currently, in Pokémon GO, it is not possible to delete eggs. Once they are in the bag, they must be hatched to make space for new eggs.
What do you think about this? Are you satisfied with the egg mechanics in Pokémon GO, or do you also wish for a rework?
