The mechs were added to Fortnite in Season 10. However, there have already been several issues with them during the season. Now another problem has occurred, and the mechs have been temporarily disabled by Epic – this happened just before the new 10.30 update, which is supposed to be released today.
What happened? Today, September 11th at 8:00 AM, Fortnite tweeted that the mech has been temporarily removed from all game modes. Epic is working on resolving an issue with the mechs.
They will bring an update when they have more information on this.
What is the problem? Epic Games has not yet announced what the issue is. However, about 2 weeks ago, there was already a serious bug with the mechs. The streamer SypherPK took heavy damage from the mech’s stomp in a match, even though he was far away from it.
Here is the video:

Why doesn’t Fortnite remove the mechs? Epic has hinted several times that they will not remove the mechs from Fortnite. One of the reasons is that they want to give all players a chance at a successful gaming experience.
In FIFA 20, all ratings for FC Bayern Munich are known. These values are the ratings of the Bayern players in FUT 20 on their cards. An overview of the Bayern squad.
All Bayern ratings are known: If you want to build a strong team around the players from FC Bayern in FUT 20, you can already take a look at their cards. Because the official ratings can now be found in the databases.
We show you the player values of the entire Bayern squad available in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team mode.
Forwards – Player Values from FC Bayern Munich
These are the Bayern forwards with ratings: We provide the overall rating from FIFA 19 in parentheses for comparison.
What stands out? In FIFA 20, many Bayern players receive slight downgrades. Significant improvements are rare, with only Gnabry and goalkeeper Hoffmann improving significantly. But established “stars” like Lewandowski, Boateng, Neuer, Coutinho or Perisic drop in rating.
Nevertheless, Bayern offers numerous exciting options for your Ultimate Team. For example, you get a quite fast center back with Hernandez, and Süle should be a fixed IV in many Bundesliga teams. Moreover, Bayern have top forces with Coman and Gnabry on the wings, and Lewandowski remains a strong forward.
By the way, Lewandowski has the highest overall rating of all Bundesliga players in FIFA 20. Followed by Neuer and Reus with 88 each.
What about the stadium of FC Bayern in FIFA 20? The Allianz Arena is missing. However, there are plenty of other Bundesliga stadiums. Here you will find the stadium list:
Those struggling with queues in World of Warcraft Classic can rejoice. Blizzard offers even more free character transfers.
Since the launch, WoW Classic has repeatedly experienced queues, sometimes lasting several hours. The popularity of the game does not seem to wane, as during “prime time” players still have to wait long to log in to their realm. This is particularly an issue on the PvP realms.
To shorten the queues, Blizzard is offering a free character transfer to another realm for many realms. This renews and expands the offer from a few days ago.
When does the offer start? Starting Thursday, September 12 at 1:00 AM, the character transfer will be available. It will remain open until Tuesday, September 17, also at 1:00 AM. So if you want to choose a new realm, you should take advantage of this time.
Which realms are affected? Whether you can transfer characters for free depends on which realm you are currently playing on. For the German realms, the following transfer options are available:
What conditions are there? Certain conditions must be met for the character transfer to be carried out; otherwise, a transfer is not possible. These include:
The character cannot be a guild leader.
The character cannot have active auctions.
The character cannot have mail in the mailbox.
Additionally, there are a few small warnings from Blizzard:
You may need to rename your character on the new realm if the name is already taken.
You cannot switch to a PvP server if you already have a character of the other faction there.
The character transfer is one-time only and cannot be undone. Blizzard support cannot modify or oversee the transfer.
The character transfer may take several hours, especially during peak play times.
Will you use the character transfer and flee the queue with your friends? Or will you remain loyal to your realm, no matter how long you have to wait?
The new patch 9.18 for Teamfight Tactics is here and it brings some changes. In addition to a revision of the item distribution, the biggest problem of LoL Auto Chess, some surprising changes have also been made.
What are the highlights of the patch? In TFT, you can now obtain not only items and gold but also champions and the new item Neeko’s Help from the chests of NPC opponents.
What changes surprised the players? With patch 9.18, the distribution of champions and the experience required for higher levels were also adjusted. These changes were somewhat surprising because they, unlike some buffs and nerfs, were not presented in advance.
The reason for the changes to experience is said to be the revision of the item distribution, as there is now a bit more gold in the game. The new levels are as follows:
Level 5: 10 EXP ⇒ 12 EXP
Level 6: 18 EXP ⇒ 20 EXP
Level 7: 30 EXP ⇒ 32 EXP
Level 8: 46 EXP ⇒ 50 EXP
Level 9: 64 EXP ⇒ 70 EXP
Additionally, there were slight adjustments in the champion distribution:
At level 3, you will now more often find 1-gold champions
At level 5, the chance for 4-gold champions has increased by 2%
At level 6, there are no longer 5-gold champions
At level 9, the chance for 5-gold champions is now 2% higher
Of the 3-gold champions, there are now only 18 instead of 21 in the champion pool
Buffs for Beasts and Knights
What classes and origins were changed in the patch? Overall, the balance changes in patch 9.18 were relatively small. The beasts (Wild) benefit the most, as they now have a new effect that prevents attacks from being dodged:
Beast (4): All your allies gain 12% attack speed per attack (up to 5 stacks) AND their normal attacks cannot be dodged.
Further buffs were given to Elementalists and Knights:
Which champions were strengthened? The biggest buff from patch 9.18 goes to Twisted Fate. He now has more health and distributes more mana with the blue card.
But other champs also benefited from the patch:
Camille – Attack damage: 50 ⇒ 55
Elise – Attack damage of spiders: 50 ⇒ 60
Graves – Armor: 20 ⇒ 30
Katarina – Mana: 0/100 ⇒ 0/85
Akali – Ability damage: 150/275/400 ⇒ 200/350/500
Anivia – Ability duration: 800 damage over 8 seconds ⇒ 800 damage over 6 seconds
Which champions were weakened? The nerfs mainly targeted Evelynn, who had a good grip on the meta of patch 9.17. The execution threshold was reduced from 65% to 50%, and the multiplier was also weakened from 3/5/7 to 3/4/5.
The new “Refer a Friend” system of World of Warcraft is coming soon. We will tell you how it works and what rewards are available.
There was great dismay a few months ago when the “Refer a Friend” system for World of Warcraft was discontinued. After all, there were many pets, mounts, and other in-game rewards through this system. However, the system will return in a few months and bring new rewards. Then it will be really worthwhile to refer friends.
These are the rewards available: Depending on how many months of game time your friends acquire, you will receive different rewards.
Number of Months
Rewards for the Referrer
1
Rikki (Pet)
2
Game Time
3
Sand Strider of the Explorer (Camel Mount)
4
Title: Famous Explorer
5
Game Time
6
Enchant: Stinging Sands
7
Cloak of the Famous Explorer
8
Game Time
9
Jungle Hopper of the Explorer (Flying Mount)
10
Backpack of the Famous Explorer
11
Game Time
12
Attire of the Famous Explorer
After the reward for 12 months, there will be game time for the referrer as a reward every 3 months.
The game time of all friends adds up. So if you have a friend who buys game time for 6 months and a second one who buys 3 months of game time, you will receive the rewards for 9 months of game time.
The backpack is particularly cool: The highlight of the rewards is likely the backpack that can be worn on the back. Until now, there has been nothing like this in World of Warcraft. Apparently, the backpack replaces the cloak slot. Since these items are likely suitable for transmogrification, you will probably be able to choose their appearance at will.
Linked accounts have bonuses: But even aside from these rewards, you have a few advantages in the game when playing with the recruited player. You will receive a total of 50% extra experience while playing together, allowing you to level up faster. Additionally, you can summon each other every 30 minutes. With the new group synchronization system, even a level difference while playing is no longer a problem as you can repeat completed quests once again.
Who can you refer for WoW? Referring and thus linking accounts is only possible with new players or with all players who have not had game time for the last 2 years. Therefore, it is not possible to refer friends who have only taken a relatively short break. You can refer and link up to 10 friends with your account.
How can you refer? To refer friends, you must generate a special link in WoW. This can be done through a new interface. You then send this link to your friends. If the friends follow this link, they will be registered as “Recruited” and count for your rewards.
When will the new system come? There is still no exact date for the “Refer a Friend” system. However, Blizzard mentions “over the next few months,” most likely with the release of Patch 8.2.5. After all, the system requires the new changes to the interface, which will only be added with the upcoming patch.
Initial reactions are mixed: Although many players are happy that this feature is returning, there are numerous negative voices. The criticism is often that Blizzard is bringing this feature back too late. It would have been easy to refer many players and connect accounts around the launch of WoW Classic. This is no longer possible, and some fear they will never receive the rewards.
What do you think of the new “Refer a Friend” system? Do you like the new implementation? Or is the system worse than the old one?

Shadowkeep strengthens in Destiny 2soon the Titan Super “Weapons of Light” and finally makes the Bubble Titan relevant again. An iconic helmet may benefit from this.
Which helmet is meant? Specifically, it is about the Titan armor exotic Helm of the 14th Holy. Most Titans and Destiny veterans should be familiar with this.
It is an exotic helmet that once played a very important role for the so-called Bubble Titans in Destiny 1 due to its special perks. For Void Titans who relied on the protective bubble as a Super, it was essentially a must-have.
Visually, this Exo resembles the helmet of a Spartan and is closely tied to the story of the legendary Titan Saint-14. With the first expansion Curse of Osiris for Destiny 2, this helmet made its return to the world of Destiny. Players have been able to obtain it from all sources that drop exotic engrams.
The Bubble Titan regains his old power with Shadowkeep
That’s why the helmet becomes important again with Shadowkeep: This helmet is currently gathering dust in the vault or collection for a large part of the Guardians. It doesn’t play a significant role for Titans currently, just like the Bubble Super.
What many Guardians are currently excited about: with the release of Shadowkeep, the Weapons of Light, meaning the Titan Bubbles, are being strengthened again. This should finally give the Helm of the 14th Holy a bigger role in Destiny 2.
A Bubble Titan wearing the Helm of the 14th Holy will be able to provide several buffs at the same time, which are meaningfully complemented by the helmet:
Weapons of Light inside and outside the Bubble for the entire team. This increases weapon damage by 35% for 15 seconds
Blessing of Light inside and outside the Bubble for the entire team
Armor of Light inside and outside the Bubble for the entire team
Blinds enemies passing through the Bubble
Additional overshield during melee attacks
While the helmet won’t be as powerful as before, the strengthened Super should bring the Bubble feeling close to Destiny 1 again, especially in connection with the Helm of the 14th Holy.
The quite useful blind effect has been rarely used due to the weak Bubble Super until now. However, that should soon change, taking into account the sentiment of many Titans as a barometer. Especially in top PvE activities like Nightfall or raids, the helmet can provide a decisive advantage in combination with the powerful Bubble Super. But also in PvP, the helmet could shine again – that’s the feeling of many fans.
What could the helmet do in Destiny 1? Even in the first part, the helmet was enormously important and came with some cool perks. Back then, players had to equip the Defender focus to access “Shield of Dawn.” Only then did the perk of the helmet become active and blinded enemies who entered the spherical shield.
In addition, the helmet increased melee attack speed and granted 30% more Super energy when defeating PvE enemies.
In PvE, the blind effect often kept annoying enemies at bay and effectively complemented the Bubble buff. However, the faster melee attack also made the helmet interesting for PvP players. A quicker punch against a disoriented enemy could often decide victory or defeat in a direct duel and made the helmet additionally attractive for Bubble Titans.
The Helm of the 14th Holy in Destiny 2
In short: For Defender Titans, the helmet was a powerful exotic in almost all PvP and PvE activities in Destiny 1.
How the helmet currently works in Destiny 2: In its current version in Destiny 2, the helmet does have some similarities to before, but works somewhat differently than in Destiny 1.
The armor perk “Starless Night” currently causes enemies entering the Shield of Dawn to be blinded. Allied Guardians then receive an overshield, and the protection of a Sentinel Shield also blinds nearby enemies – all useful effects, especially in connection with the new buff of the Titan Bubble, which could save you or your team-mates’ lives in various situations.
The Helm of the 14th Holy in Destiny 1
However, you will have to forgo the faster melee attack and the faster Super regeneration in Destiny 2.
The Origin of the Titan Helmet
What’s the story of the 14th Holy? The helmet once belonged to the legendary 14th Holy. He was an Exo and one of the most important Titans in the history of the Last City. The 14th Holy was the first Titan leader in the Vanguard and served as the Speaker’s right hand.
After the Warlock Osiris was exiled, the 14th Holy continued his crusade against the Fallen and disappeared on a crucial mission to Mercury. There he was to prevent Osiris from disturbing the Vex.
However, on this mission, the 14th Holy got lost in the infinity of the Infinite Forest. He is said to have fought against the Vex for several centuries and destroyed thousands of them. However, the Vex created a ghost that was to drain the Titan of his light. Ultimately, the Vex actually succeeded in defeating Saint-14 and robbing him of his light.
The grave of the 14th Holy in Destiny 2
Out of respect, the Vex dug a grave for the body of the legendary Titan. This stood as a kind of monument in a simulated Vex world and was meant to commemorate the grief he brought to the Vex.
How to find the 14th Holy in Destiny 2: In Destiny 2, you can follow in the footsteps of the 14th Holy and find his grave.
To do this, you must first complete 5 verses with Brother Vance on Mercury. Once this is done, you will receive another quest for the shotgun “The Perfect Paradox”.
If you continue the mission, you will come to the quest “Not Even the Darkness.” This leads you to the Infinite Forest to the grave of the 14th Holy. There you can admire the monument that the Vex have erected. The 14th Holy is thus much more than just a myth.
As in every week, a new Fortnite update is also coming today, Wednesday, September 11th. For this purpose, the servers on all platforms (PC/Mac, Xbox One, PS4, Switch, iOS, Android) will be taken down for maintenance. But how long will it last? And what does the patch actually bring? MeinMMO has the answers!
Presumably, the update will have an impact on the cube. However, before players can go on an exploration tour, the servers will be taken down as they are almost every week. A new update version 10.30 will be applied.
Fortnite servers going down – when and for how long?
When do the maintenance work start? At 09:30 AM German time, you may enter a new lobby for the last time, after that, it will no longer be possible. Around 10 AM, the servers will finally be unreachable, and you will have to take a break.
How long will the server downtime last: Based on experiences from the last weeks and months, the work should be completed around noon. You can read here about any technical problems or other delays.
If you want to pass the time during the maintenance, you can enjoy the patch notes that we will provide shortly after the maintenance begins.
What’s in the new Fortnite update 10.30
What’s new in the Battle Royale mode? This week, the information is exceedingly thin; not even a new item or weapon has been announced so far. However, the wording of the maintenance announcement by Epic on Twitter is intriguing. Essentially, it translates to “Break out of your shell.” The significance of these words is being hotly debated in the forums.
What will happen with the cube today?
The most popular theory suggests that the cube will break open. Data miners have found various layers within the cube itself, so the suspicion is therefore well-founded. Clearly, players will soon learn what lies inside the cube.
What content is coming for the Save the World mode? Unfortunately, there is still no new roadmap with new content for the PvE mode of Fortnite. Based on the announcement on Reddit, it can be assumed that there will be new content for “Hit the Road”. More details will only be revealed by the patch notes.
What do you think will happen with the cube today?
Fallout 76 is currently undergoing maintenance on PC, PS4, and Xbox One to install the new Update 13. This update mainly focuses on bug fixes, improved features, and a new map for Nuclear Winter.
What is this patch? Today, on September 10, 2019, at around 4 PM, the servers of Fallout 76 went into maintenance mode. The new Update 13 is being installed, in which numerous bugs will be fixed.
How long will the maintenance work take? The maintenance work was completed around 8 PM. The new patch is now playable.

Instead of previously in Flatwoods, you will now also have the opportunity to fight in Morgantown and Grafton. This map has some unique features that are missing in Flatwoods:
Focus on house and city combat
steep cliffs and large bodies of water as a contrast
new enemies like RAD Scorpions, which do not exist in Flatwoods
This is what Morgantown looks like in the regular game.
Additionally, player matchmaking is now supposed to include players from around the world, and with new challenges, you will receive temporary Morgantown rewards.
This is how Fallout 76 is being improved: Besides the new map, Update 13 mainly focuses on fixing old bugs and improving existing features instead of overloading the game with more content. So far, it is known that:
some events will be made significantly more enjoyable and clearer for players. What exactly is changing, you will find out in our changes to the events of Fallout 76
the servers are expected to run more stable. Since Patch 12, there have been major performance issues that should now be fixed
a problem with power armor is being worked on, which has proven to be more complex than anticipated. This fix will not come directly with Update 13 but is scheduled for a future hotfix and is under development
A player has now received an official recognition for the long time he has invested in EVE Online. His achievement has been entered into the Guinness World Records.
What has the player accomplished? It concerns the player behind the character Katja Sae, the American Ethan Richards. He explored the entire galaxy of EVE Online back in March 2019. This adventure took him nearly 10 years.
EVE Online included 7,805 star systems at that time. Richards set out to not just fly through the corresponding systems, but to properly explore them and the planets within them.
As if that wasn’t enough, the player also stayed out of fights and managed not to lose a single ship throughout the entire time. Apparently, this was worth an official mention in the Guinness World Records.
This is how the developers reacted: To complete the discovery, the developers at CCP even had to help Richards. He was missing the system Polaris, as it is only accessible to Game Masters.
However, to really check off all systems as “explored,” they specially invited him to Polaris. After Richards completed his journey, he received numerous honors.
In a video from the fictional news service The Scope, which publishes news for EVE “in-game,” Sae was celebrated as the first person to travel the entire universe. In honor of the pilot, there is also a monument depicting her.

He documented his journey in a blog so others could follow it. Now it is over, and it remains to be seen whether anyone will undertake something like this in the near future, as EVE is facing a significant upheaval:
Today, on August 13, the Weekly Reset rotates the weekly activities in Destiny 2. New weekly challenges, fresh Nightfall strikes, and a different Flashpoint planet are waiting for the Guardians.Furthermore, the last week of Moments of Triumph begins.What does the new week have in store for the Guardians?
Last chance for Triumph moments: With today’s reset, Guardians enter the last week to complete the Moments of Triumph, namely the Triumph moments 2019, and secure the title MMXIX.
Originally, the Triumph moments were supposed to end on August 28. However, due to the delay of Shadowkeep to October 1, Bungie has also extended the Triumph moments by two weeks. If you still want the title or other rewards but have not yet completed all Triumphs despite the extra time, you should hurry. Because with the reset on September 17, it will be over.
But what does the new week bring?
Nightfall strikes starting September 10 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC
This week, the following Nightfalls can be challenged by you:
If you want to get the armor from the Escalation Protocol with the new Armor 2.0 standard as quickly as possible after the release of Shadowkeep, you can actually start working on it now.
If you are looking for the Flashpoint, you should check out Nessus this time. Complete the Flashpoint challenge there as well as the marked heroic adventure, and you will receive 2 Powerful rewards as a reward.
If you complete the 4 weekly bounties from Werner/Benedict 99-40, you will receive one Powerful Item per bounty. If you complete all four, you will receive an additional Powerful reward. Furthermore, up to 3 more Powerful rewards can be earned through the Menagerie. However, you will need the corresponding upgrades to the Chalice of Opulence.
Ada-1 offers all powerful weapon rolls from the Black Armory.
Ikora Rey rewards you with Powerful loot as soon as you master 20 random bounties.
After reaching 5,000 Clan XP, you are rewarded with a Powerful reward from Hawthorne. If you also complete her bounties “Endless Battle”, “To Each Their Own”, “With Both Hands”, and “An Overwhelming Affair” successfully, you will receive one Powerful Item per bounty.
Petra Venj can now be found (Curse Week 2) for one week directly at the landing zone of the Dreaming City. When you complete Petra’s mission, the Ascendant Challenge, and a total of 8 of her daily bounties for her, you will receive Powerful loot for each of these tasks. By the way, currently, the 6th Ascendant Challenge is active.
Spider has this time the weekly bounty “Flood Summoner” in stock. Complete this task and you will receive Powerful loot.
In FIFA 20 you can now play the demo. Here are 5 tips on what you can test in the demo version on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
The demo is available: Since the afternoon of September 10th, you can download and install the FIFA 20 demo. It is available on PS4 through the PS Store, on Xbox One through the Xbox Store, and on PC through Origin.
You can now try the demo version to kick a few nice matches and pass the time until the release of FIFA 20. Or you can make the most of it! We have 5 tips for you on how you can take advantage of the demo.
Tip 1: Get familiar with the gameplay
You can test: Every year EA Sports tweaks the gameplay a bit, so the feeling of the game differs from the predecessor. What often led to success in FIFA 19 may hardly be useful in FIFA 20.
Check out the new ball feel. The ball is supposed to move more naturally in the air and on the ground in FIFA 20 thanks to new ball physics.
Practice how to defend best in FIFA 20. While many players left the defending to the AI in FIFA 19, manual defending is supposed to pay off again in FIFA 20. Also, the balls should not bounce directly back to the opponent in tackles, making well-timed challenges more important and better than the year before.
Observe the AI behavior. Thanks to revamped positioning, AI players are supposed to behave more intelligently than before. Test several formations to find out which suits your playstyle and which you can then start the FIFA 20 season with.
Practice the shot timing. This is supposed to be more difficult to time in FIFA 20 because the green area is tighter.
Keep in mind that the gameplay may change until the release or even after the release. EA Sports will continue to work on it. The demo is an early build of FIFA 20.
Tip 2: Practice the new celebrations in the demo
You can test: In FIFA 20, there are some new celebrations that you can already try out in the demo. You might discover one that you want to show off to your opponents after scoring a goal.
3 cool new celebrations:
Spinner Frog – Hold L2, rotate the right stick counterclockwise in a circle (Hold LT, rotate the right stick counterclockwise in a circle)
Scissors – Hold L1, press square once (Hold LB, press X)
Pigeon – Hold R1, press R3 (right stick in), (Hold RB, press right stick in)
You can find all the other new celebrations here with button combinations:
You can test this now: While in FIFA 19 some skill moves, like La Croqueta or the “El Tornado” cross, were extremely effective, this is supposed to change in FIFA 20. One of these skill moves may become powerful:
Lateral Heel to Heel: For this, you need at least a 3-star skill player. You execute it by holding L1 (LB) and then moving the right stick left and then right (be aware of the player’s running direction – doing it right then left is also possible). In this skill, the ball is moved from one heel to the other and then kicked in the direction the player is moving quickly.
Flair Roulette: For this skill, you need at least a 4-star skill player. It is a new version of the roulette move, where the player briefly pulls the ball back and while turning the body, continues to play the ball almost in the same direction. It looks pretty cool. You perform it by holding L1 (LB) and rotating the right stick from back to front by 180 degrees.
Setup Touch: This is a special move that all players – including goalkeepers – can perform. It only requires one star. You simply set the ball to the left or right in front of you. For this, you just need to hold R1 (RB) and press the right stick left or right. Pressing forward or backward will also make the player perform animations to place the ball in the respective direction.
You can test: Free kicks and penalties in FIFA 20 differ significantly from those in FIFA 19. So use the demo to familiarize yourself with it.
https://giphy.com/gifs/iJ7QVqu54dAGhxffCc
In FIFA 20 you get a target aid in the form of a white circle, which sets the direction of the shot.
Additionally, you can put a spin on the ball with the right analog stick to influence its flight path. Here you see how to move the right stick for different spin animations:
https://giphy.com/gifs/ZGIWof5PnZ9OJ4Rgph
Experiment with this a bit and see which standard executions are especially effective. You can find a tutorial for it here:
In the demo, while no skill games can be directly selected, sometimes before a match, there may be a penalty practice where you can try the penalties multiple times. The same goes for free kicks.
Tip 5: Check out Volta
This is the tip: Finally, here’s a tip: Don’t just play the classic 11v11 in Kick-off mode, but also check out Volta.
Volta is the big new feature in FIFA 20 that allows street football, small fields, and 3v3, 4v4, and 5v5 matches. Many fans have wished for such a “FIFA Street” return.
Volta feels very different from the 11v11 matches, yet it should be more realistic than FIFA Street once was. In the demo, you can play a 3v3 after a short cutscene.
Do some of the unique wall celebrations that only exist in Volta. Just run to a wall after scoring a goal.
During a match, go into the menu, select “Trainer” and turn it off or adjust it under “Mode”. Under “Review & Game Mechanics” you can turn off everything except for the shot timing display. This way you won’t constantly have annoying button recommendations on the screen.
In the menu under “Settings” and then “Game Settings” you can switch the camera. Many FIFA players prefer “Tele” or “Broadcast-Tele” and adjust the camera height for a better overview.
The update 10.30 is set to be released in Fortnite soon. Two Rift Beacons indicate major changes. What else could theupdate bring?
What kind of update is this? The update 10.30 seems to bring significant changes. Two Rift Beacons have appeared and will change the map, hints of an ES-2 event are present, and the end of the Borderlands 3 crossover is approaching.
Two new Rift Beacons: In Season 10, it is common for these Rift Beacons to add a new/old location to the map.
The ES-2 Event: There have been hints that a crossover event between Fortnite and ES 2 is supposed to take place. Balloons have appeared at various locations such as Pleasant Park, floating out of drains. When popping the balloons, a creepy laugh reminiscent of the clown Pennywise was heard. Now the balloons have disappeared again.
Balloon in Pleasant Park
Data miners have already found data regarding the ES-2 event, but Epic has not provided further information about the event. Some players on Twitter believe that there will be no event since the balloons have disappeared again. Now it remains to be seen whether the event could start with update 10.30.

On September 13, the global launch of Borderlands 3 will take place. For those still contemplating the purchase, we answer the most important questions about the game here.
Basics: Borderlands 3 is the official successor to Borderlands 2. However, it already represents the fourth major installment in the series, if you count Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.
The following information should help you decide whether you want to get Borderlands 3.
What is Borderlands 3?
What makes Borderlands 3 special: Borderlands 3 is a loot shooter developed by Gearbox. It offers a blend of over-the-top first-person shooter and action RPG elements. The focus is on hunting for crazy weapons, developing your character through skill trees, and a well-thought-out co-op system.

Moreover, it is characterized by a decent dose of madness. Weapons that fire other weapons instead of bullets or simply run away are part of the daily routine. The Borderlands series is known for its very special humor. If you are not a friend of irony, you should stay away.
This is the story: The Borderlands series predominantly takes place on the planet Pandora. This time, the game world spans several planets and is marked by a crazy combination of science fiction and the Wild West. In Borderlands 3, you will experience a continuation of the story from the previous installments.
In the new installment, you play as one of the new vault hunters. You can choose between the soldier Moze, the siren Amara, the beastmaster FL4K, and the assassin Zane. Your opponents in Borderlands 3 are the “Children of the Vault” led by twins Tyreen and Troy. Additionally, you will meet many characters from previous installments again.
Who is Borderlands 3 suitable for?
Borderlands 3 is the right choice for these players: You are in the right place if you enjoy discovering and collecting vast amounts of different weapons. Especially in co-op mode, Borderlands 3 is a lot of fun.
If you like completely crazy scenarios and wacky humor, this game is also for you. If you are also a fan of science fiction and the Wild West, then you will enjoy the mix of the two genres in Borderlands 3.
These players should stay away from Borderlands 3: If you are more of a fan of realistic shooters, you should probably not get Borderlands 3. The game is quite colorful, crazy, and has a comic-style cell-shading that not everyone will enjoy.
Do I need to know the predecessors? You will have an easier time following the story if you have played the predecessors. The story in Borderlands 3 is quite pronounced for a loot shooter. However, it is not absolutely essential.
With Borderlands 3, you can still have a lot of fun even if you don’t know exactly what escapades have occurred in the previous games. The gameplay mechanics, looting, co-op mode, and the overall impression of the world of Borderlands 3 work even without the story.
How long will I be busy with Borderlands 3?
This is planned for Borderlands 3: Borderlands is not among the typical games-as-a-service. Nevertheless, Borderlands 3 will provide you with new content once you have completed the main campaign.
On one hand, there will be two updates:
The Bloody Harvest event will bring Halloween to Borderlands 3.
Later, the Maliwan Takedown update will introduce a new map with tougher enemies and a new boss.
Before the end of the year, the first of four story DLCs will also be released. Those who own the season pass can download it at no additional cost.
Additionally, the endgame should keep you busy with the following features:
Release on PS4 and Xbox One: September 13 at 12:00 AM local time.
Release on PC (Epic): September 13 at 1:00 AM in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
The preload phase begins about 48 hours before the release, so on the upcoming Wednesday.
Where can I get Borderlands 3? You can get Borderlands 3 from the respective console stores or in the Epic Store for PC. You can find out how large the download is here:
These editions are available: A total of four different versions of Borderlands 3 are offered:
The Standard Edition
The Deluxe Edition
The Super Deluxe Edition
The Diamond Loot Chest Collector’s Edition
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
All 4 editions include the base game. Depending on which edition you order, you will receive different features such as weapon skins, other in-game bonuses, or even a replica of the Diamond Loot Chest.
Is there a pre-order bonus? Everyone who pre-orders the game will receive the Gold Weapon Skin Pack for all weapons in the game. It doesn’t matter which version you order.
How does Borderlands 3 perform in reviews? Overall, the first reviews are very positive on Metacritic. The diversity of loot and the comfort improvements compared to the predecessor are particularly praised.
However, there are also a few critical voices who find the loot shooter outdated.
Cortyn levels as a fire mage in WoW Classic. However, this is accompanied by some annoying situations that need to be reported.
My first real character about 15 years ago was a fire mage in World of Warcraft, and it should be again this time. Although I am much wiser in “WoW Classic” than I was back then and no longer distribute talent points at level 35 because “my power gain is so great in one go” and I do not find Polymorph “totally useless”, there are still some problems and situations that trouble me.
The Pyroblast and I – An Eternal Love-Hate Relationship
Before the super-experts come from the corner and criticize my build: Yes, I know that both Pyroblast and Shockwave do not belong to a “top build” for the fire mage. I still took both because I just wanted big balls of fire that can take away 30-40% of the opponent’s health.
Seeing the world burn – great as a fire mage.
What I had completely repressed, however, was how long a casting time of 6 seconds can be in reality. I previously played a shadow priest in retail and if a spell took longer than 2.5 seconds, I was already half falling asleep. So it also happens that you can accomplish a lot while casting a Pyroblast to open the fight:
Reorganize the inventory.
Fill the glass with cola again.
Contribute to the guild chat.
Spin my character exactly 2 1/2 times in a circle with the A or D key and then get annoyed that I’m looking in the wrong direction at the end of the cast.
Do half of the tax return.
When the spell finally completes after what feels like an eternity, you haven’t won yet, as further obstacles are thrown in your way:
The opponent has now run out of range, the spell has no effect and is canceled.
Another player has attacked the opponent and marked it for themselves.
The opponent resists the Pyroblast. 6 seconds of casting time for nothing.
Nevertheless, I like my big fireball. When the giant lava ball leaves my mage’s hand, it feels great. When it actually crits, even more so.
While questing in Tanaris, there was the unfortunate incident that I had to put the first teammate on my ignore list.
This was with the pirates far to the east. Not only is this a good area to farm fabrics, but it is also extremely popular for frost mages who want to perform large AoE farming with the spell “Blizzard”. Since all opponents here are melee fighters, frost mages can kite these enemies and kill them at a distance with area effects.
So while I am taking down one enemy after another (or 2 simultaneously if I feel particularly brave) with my Pyroblasts, Fireballs, and Fire Strikes, a frost mage is continuously riding around me who is pulling the entire area.
Frost mages can farm really effectively. But it’s not for me.
I won’t lie: It’s pretty impressive to see how many enemies a frost mage can take out at once. It is definitely an extremely effective farming method. It’s just a playstyle that wouldn’t be fun for me. I love fire, I’ve always loved it and want to remain a fire mage forever. But everyone plays how they want, right?
Well, wrong thought. Not only did I notice the frost mage, but he also noticed me. While I was drinking my water (which restores way too little mana), the other mage messaged me:
“Spec frost, then you can farm as well.”
“Thanks, but I have fun with fire, even if it takes longer.”
I’ll spare you the entire chat log. The short version is that the esteemed frost mage ended up calling me a “bad noob” because I didn’t play as effectively as he did and wished me “good luck” getting into a dungeon anywhere.
There are idiots everywhere, whether in retail or classic.
Partial Resists and Magical Resistances
Anyone currently playing World of Warcraft Battle for Azeroth does not have to worry about stats like “hit rating.” All spells and abilities hit automatically, unless another ability prevents it.
I was well aware that this was not the case in classic. I still knew that there was hit rating and that the chance had to be increased through talents and items.
What I had completely forgotten were the “partial resists.” Spells can not only be resisted or hit – there are also plenty of zones in between.
Dragons particularly like fire resistances. Always nice!
Instead of a nice 1000 Pyroblast (the round number for simplicity), spells can be resisted by 25%, 50%, or even 75%. Then a yellow 250 appears above the opponent and leaves me a bit frustrated.
As if that weren’t enough, multiple effects on a target also have their own resistance chance.
Especially noticeable is this with the spell “Scorch.” It is a fire spell with a short casting time that causes low damage. Fully skilled, Scorch can still do a whole lot more:
It creates a stackable debuff that increases the fire damage taken.
It has a 10% chance to stun the opponent for 2 seconds.
A critical hit creates a DoT effect that deals an additional 40% damage.
All these additional effects have their own chance to be resisted again, even if the original Scorch spell hits.
But that’s the fate I chose for myself as a fire mage. I could have chosen differently. But big Pyroblast crits are just too tempting…
For FIFA 20, many ratings of the new FUT cards are now known, including that of Dortmund star Jadon Sancho. However, he is anything but satisfiedwith his new card.
What happened: Jadon Sancho has spoken out on Twitter. The reason: He is unhappy with the passing stat of his new FUT 20 card. He posts a picture of his card and writes: “77 Passing?!”

This is Sancho’s new card: Despite the passing stat of 77, Sancho’s card makes a strong impression. After all, the speed and dribbling attributes are at a top level. Only passing and shooting actually leave something to be desired, but there are still TOTW cards, winter upgrades, and other special cards that Sancho can receive throughout the FIFA season.
If Sancho continues to play as strongly as he did in the last Bundesliga season, then he should quickly receive new cards with stronger stats from EA. He holds it in his own hands, or rather on his foot.
Additionally, it’s not just the card stats that indicate how good a card really is. It’s about the detailed in-game stats of the player. And these are not yet known.
If Sancho receives 5-star skills and perhaps an upgrade to 4-star for the weak foot like in FIFA 19, the card should be very interesting for many Bundesliga teams, especially at the beginning.
This is what Borussia Dortmund says: In contrast to Jadon Sancho himself, his employer is pleased about the significant jump of 12 points compared to FIFA 19. Proudly, BVB posts a picture that compares the cards of FIFA 19 and FIFA 20.

This is how strong Sancho was in FIFA 19: In the last FIFA installment, the previously rather unknown Englishman started with a 72 silver card. This was quite unremarkable and probably hardly interested anyone at the start of FIFA 19.
Later, Sancho received numerous special cards that honored his top performances in the Bundesliga. This includes a POTM- and a TOTS card.

The FIFA 20 demo has its release date today. When is the download time for PS4, Xbox One, and PC in Germany, which teams and content does the demo version deliver?When can it be downloaded and installed from the storesand what does New Zealand have to do with it? There are issues with the PS Store at launch.
Update 4 PM: The demo has been discovered in the PS Store on PS4. To find it, go to the Store on your PlayStation 4, select “Games” on the left, then go to “Demo,” and here FIFA 20 should be displayed directly.
Currently, there is still a problem: The product page is displayed, but the download cannot be started in the PS Store. It should only be a matter of minutes until you can start the download. Update 4:09 PM: It’s working for us now. Download size is 6.4 GB.
According to user reports, the demo is available on Xbox. It is 6.94 GB in size. It’s still missing on Origin. According to the French Twitter channel of EA Sports, it will also be available for PC shortly. Update 4:50 PM: The demo is now live on all platforms.
FIFA 20 demo is released today: As EA Sports announced in a press release, the demo version of FIFA 20 starts today, on September 10, 2019.
In fact, EA Sports has not yet made any official word about the demo through public channels such as Twitter. However, the press release confirms a recent leak, where September 10 was briefly listed as the demo release date in the Xbox Store.
The time for the FIFA 20 demo download: The start time was not mentioned in the press release. However, we expect a time around 4 PM in Germany. It was at least the case last year. At 4 PM, the demo became available in the PS Store on PS4 and on Origin for PC, and in the Xbox Store, it went live a few minutes later.
We will regularly update this article and immediately add information when the demo is available. Currently, it is not yet live.
What does New Zealand have to do with the release of the FIFA 20 demo?
Play the FIFA 20 demo first? Annually, around the demo release, the terms New Zealand or Australia are found in the FIFA forums.
The reason: Many fans want to act particularly cleverly to be able to play in Germany before everyone else. They create a PSN account registered in New Zealand, as they assume that the “FIFA 20” demo will be available in the store there earlier. Australia is also a popular country that is given during account creation.
Presumably, they want to ease the rush on the stores, as there were frequently difficulties – especially in the PS Store – in the past years due to so many people wanting to download the demo at the same time.
Volta:Volta is the big new feature of FIFA 20. It is a FIFA Street-like mode in which you can showcase your skills on the street. We strongly assume that a few Volta matches can be played in the demo.
Can one carry over their progress from the demo to FIFA 20? No, everything you play in the demo remains in the demo. You cannot transfer progress to the main game.
Demo download for PS4, Xbox One, and PC – Switch not included
The platforms for the FIFA 20 demo: The FIFA 20 demo will be available for download and installation only on these platforms:
PS4 – Download the demo today from the PlayStation Store
Xbox One – Download the demo today from the Xbox Store
PC – You can download and install the demo today via Origin
Download time should be around 4 PM.
There will not be a Switch version.
Playing FIFA 20 demo – What you should test
In the demo, you cannot start with your Ultimate Team or your Career Mode. Instead, you can use the time to familiarize yourself with the gameplay and learn new skills.
Manual defending is said to be more worthwhile in FIFA 20 than in FIFA 19, and there is completely new ball physics. Pay attention to both.
What’s new in FIFA 20? Besides a revised gameplay, FIFA 20 will have some new licenses in the form of the Romanian league and several new stadiums.
The biggest novelty, however, is the Volta mode, where you can prove yourself off the field on the street. However, all other modes in FIFA 20 will also receive some changes and innovations. You can find an overview here:
In recent years, EA Sports released an infographic with the most important information about the demo shortly before its start. This year, nothing has been released by the developers so far.

Today, the huge update “Frontier Pursuits” was released for Red Dead Redemption 2. In the online mode Red Dead Online, you can now play as bounty hunters, traders, or collectors in specialist roles. We show you all the changes.
What kind of update is this? A few weeks ago, Rockstar Games announced a major update for the online mode of RDR2, Red Dead Online. A major focus of this update is the three new roles that players can pursue as bounty hunters, traders, or collectors.
All roles must be unlocked and bring new activities to the online world. For each role, you unlock new features such as a prisoner transport or a material wagon.
Players were already curious about the role system. Red Dead Online was often criticized for having too little content. The new roles now bring variety back into the online world.
In the “Frontier Pursuits” update, you will find not only the new roles and their corresponding activities but also new items and abilities. There are also some gameplay improvements, new ability cards, daily challenges, emotes, and other game adjustments.
New items, weapons, clothing, horse wagons
Direction indicator from which you get shot
Additional horse breeds
More storage slots for custom outfits
You can now name saved outfits
Increased selling prices for looted jewelry
Better movements and animations for smoother fights and looting
Weapon balancing and improvements

The Bounty Hunter
Your task: Once you unlock this role, you will hunt criminals on the map of Red Dead Online. Dead or alive is the motto.

The Trader
Your task: You produce valuable goods for sale with the help of camp companion Cripps and build up a business.

The start begins with investing in a butcher table. PS4 players receive it for free, while Xbox players pay 15 gold bars for it.
The gameplay: You gather animal carcasses, pelts, or parts from the online world. Also supplies that can either be ordered or unlocked in supply missions. Once you have gathered enough, Cripps will begin production. Afterwards, you sell the goods. Deliveries over longer distances are better paid.

Quests and ability cards: Additionally, you can expect new daily quests that will be unlocked for you. Existing ability cards have been improved and expanded with new, role-specific tasks.
Appearance adjustment: You can now change your character’s appearance for free. The first change is free, after that it costs a fee.
Weapons and balancing
What’s new? The game now features many new weapons, ammunition, and gear. Additionally, the balancing has been revised. Weapon damage has been adjusted to make fights faster and reduce the consistent use of headshots in PvP
Firearms cause more damage
The damage from headshots at long range has been reduced

You will now also find new raid bosses. Last week, the raids were all about the Johto journey. This week is all about Deoxys. It can be caught in all its forms in level 5 raids. To achieve this, you can catch suitable counters against Deoxys on lower levels. How you counter them is explained here.

Even before the release of WoW Classic, there were concerns in the World of Warcraft community about the future of the game. Now, several weeks later, this discussion is still taking place in forums and other social channels.
This is what players are currently concerned about: In several discussions since the release of WoW Classic, players of Classic and Retail argue about whether Classic represents a “threat” to Battle for Azeroth or not. Recently, this discussion came up in a new forum post.
The creator Dribbowl raises the somewhat open question of whether around 90% of friends lists of other players are Classic and hardly anyone plays BfA. He also wonders about the future of Retail:
If this is the case, what does the future of BfA look like? Are we preparing ourselves for another 15 years stuck at the same point as now? Or does anyone believe that Blizzard will reboot the universe of WoW a second time?
Classic vs. Retail – Is this really a problem?
This is how Classic is doing: So far, it seems that WoW Classic is doing quite well for the entire franchise. Since the release, it has attracted many viewers on Twitch. There is still no separation between the versions, making it difficult to say how much Retail benefits from it.
This is how players view the situation: Most players on their friends lists would not have played WoW in the first place, but are now playing Classic instead. This includes many people who previously played Classic on private servers. Hardly anyone who enjoyed BfA before has made a permanent switch.
For many, it is therefore not a problem that WoW Classic has become such a success. The answer to the question also depends on where you ask. User Lynlia summarizes the entire discussion:
Look at where you ask. In the Classic forum. People will naturally be “less favorable” towards Retail and vice versa if you ask in Retail forums. What I can say is that no version kills the other. Both are good games and they will remain.
Overall, discussions about “Which WoW is better” are often driven by frustration. In the end, everyone involved is a fan of WoW, and everyone should play the version that they enjoy. A user on reddit created a fitting comic about it:

What do players actually enjoy? Players still argue about what is much better in each of the versions compared to the other. Subjective advantages often arise for both versions.
Rewards in WoW Classic feel meaningful because you have to work hard for them.
Accordingly, the time you invest feels well spent.
Retail, on the other hand, presents a greater challenge if you want to be really good.
The content does not run out here, as there is always something to do with things like Mythic+, harder raids, and more.
Battle for Azeroth is constantly receiving new content.
Counterarguments include that BfA is self-destructing due to its boring grind and lack of variety, while Classic simply runs out of content, bosses are defeated much too quickly, and thus interest must inevitably decline.
What is your view on this? Is it a “Classic vs. Retail” battle or are they simply two different games that cannot undermine each other’s player base? Cortyn has a clear opinion on this:
