A hashtag is trending again on Twitter. #BringSiphonBack is being shared by professional player Faze Sway on Twitter. The Fortnite community seems to agree.
What does this hashtag mean? #BringBackSiphon means that Epic should bring back the gameplay mechanic “Siphon” to all game modes of Fortnite. Currently, “Siphon” is only enabled for Arena mode or tournaments. However, many players wish it would return for all game modes.
What is Siphon? Siphon refers to a lifesteal mechanic in Fortnite:
When the lifesteal mode is activated, you receive healing of 50 health points per elimination.
If you are already at full health, your shield is increased by 50 points.
In addition to the lifesteal, players receive 50 building materials of each type for a kill. This rewards aggressive play and reduces the time spent farming materials.
What happened? One of the professional players Faze Sway tweeted: “#BringSiphonBack” is making it trend.” He means Fortnite should bring back the lifesteal mode to all game modes. To gain more attention, as many users as possible should tweet with this hashtag so it appears in the trends.

Many players from the Fortnite community also seem to agree. The tweet has been liked 11,500 times so far and over 3,000 users are talking about it.
Additionally, many users have made their own tweets with the hashtag. They managed to temporarily get into the top 50 trends on Twitter USA.
Why do so many want Siphon back? The lifesteal mode was especially rewarding for aggressive players. They could push other players directly and immediately regain health after each elimination. They did not need to waste time healing. This was especially helpful when fighting a whole 4-player team alone.
Why won’t Epic Games bring Siphon back?Epic Games commented on this in the patch notes 8.20. They said it was for testing purposes and after a thorough analysis and feedback, they would now end the testing phase.
They found the gameplay too aggressive. Other play strategies would then become secondary. However, they kept the lifesteal for the Arena mode and tournaments because it proved to be practical there.
Could Siphon come back now? Epic Games has a strong history of not responding to player requests to bring lifesteal back in all game modes. It seems unlikely that Epic will follow this request now.
New PS4 games are coming to the PS Store this week. We’re presenting 4 exciting games that you can download to your PlayStation 4.
The new releases in the PS Store: Sony introduces several new games every week that will soon be available in the PlayStation Store. This week, the big highlight is the loot shooter Borderlands 3, which many fans of the Borderlands series are eagerly anticipating.
What is Borderlands 3? Borderlands 3 is a combination of a first-person shooter and action RPG. The development of your character through talent trees plays a central role, but equally important are the hunt for loot and crazy gunplay.
The weapons are especially crazy: Some weapons can walk, other weapons can create weapons, weapons can also insult you.
The notorious, pitch-black humor of the Borderlands series is also back this time. As well as the wacky sci-fi setting on multiple planets.
Furthermore, Borderlands 3 offers a good co-op system that allows you to easily play with your friends at any time.
https://youtu.be/Av5Eyx3bGtM
Who is Borderlands 3 suitable for? If you’re looking for a casual co-op game, you will have fun with Borderlands 3. However, you should have a sense of dark and silly humor and be willing to immerse yourself in a world that doesn’t always take itself seriously. For most fans of the series, Borderlands 3 is a must. You can find more about it in our review:
What is PES 2020: This is this year’s football game from Konami, which once again takes on the FIFA series. This year, they want to create an authentic football atmosphere for many fans with some high-profile licenses – such as for Juventus Turin and FC Bayern Munich.
PES 2020 comes with revised gameplay that allows for new ball control and new dribbling skills. In the revamped Master League mode, a new dialogue system, improved menu design, and a more realistic transfer market await you.
Moreover, Konami offers a completely new online game mode with “Matchday.”
https://youtu.be/_89i5H1zAeU
Who is PES 2020 suitable for? If you are not a football fan, you may find it hard to get into PES 2020. Whether you decide to get PES 2020 or FIFA 20 this year, you ultimately have to decide for yourself. Because for most, this is a “matter of faith.”
What is GreedFall? GreedFall is a new brand from Spiders and Focus Home Interactive. It is a fantasy RPG set in a world reminiscent of the 17th century, where exploration, discovery, and colonial themes are in the foreground.
You explore undiscovered areas and a lonely island full of magic, treasures, secrets, and supernatural creatures. You support or deceive other characters and factions.
As you pursue quests, you can decide how you want to achieve the goals: with diplomacy, deception, combat, or cunning. Additionally, the character can be freely customized: gender, appearance, skills, and spells are selectable.
GreedFall is a single-player game.
In this launch trailer, you get an impression of GreedFall:

Rich Lambert, ZeniMax’s Creative Director, spoke at the PAX West gaming convention about the increasing player numbers of the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online and how the developers now want to address performance issues.
What is currently the problem with ESO? The game has been struggling with performance issues for some time. In April 2019, even queues had to be introduced, and the release of the Elsweyr expansion led to further performance problems.
Success of Elsweyr surprised ZeniMax, overwhelmed the servers
Why are improvements coming now? At PAX West, ZeniMax’s Creative Director Rich Lambert was asked about this issue. He explained that the release of Elsweyr was the last straw.
According to him, there were already plans to work on improvements before, but the huge influx of players at the release of the current expansion made it necessary to act now. He admits that the situation surprised the team a bit:
With Elsweyr came a large influx of players, everyone was suddenly in, putting pressure on the servers, stressing the client. And we thought: OK. It surprised us a little. The game was 5 years old at that point.
Rich Lambert
Apparently, ZeniMax did not expect to see such a large influx of players after 5 years of ESO.
Now, however, action must be taken to properly address and resolve the issue.
What about PvP? Especially in PvP, the performance issues of ESO can have serious consequences. Rich Lambert is aware of this. He promises that there will also be improvements in this area. However, the backend needs to be optimized first.
The problem cannot be solved overnight; however, he believes that the PvP experience of ESO is currently relatively stable. Improvements are definitely coming.
The group search is a major problem
What about the LFG? Another problem related to performance is the group search. According to Rich Lambert, the system becomes asynchronous when the servers are overloaded. This leads to all players being assigned to a group. Everyone joins in, and suddenly no one can join and is back in the search.
This leads to a loop until the system can finally assign players to a group. Therefore, the LFG system is also to be improved as part of the performance optimizations. Even under load, players will then be assigned to a group and can prepare.
However, all of this will take some time. By 2020, ESO should play significantly better.
Do you also have performance issues in ESO? Are you looking forward to the developers finally addressing this issue?
Since the new role lock system in Overwatch is active, some players apparently have problems with it. This includes professional player André “iddqd” Dahlström, who at least predicts the end of the game for himself.
This problem is seen by iddqd: With the new “Role Queue” in Overwatch , players must choose a role before the game: DPS, healer, or tank. Two of each role are needed. However, this sometimes leads to long waiting times for some players.
In his stream, iddqd explained that nobody wants to watch a streamer when he is waiting in line for two hours, no matter how good he is. For him, this is the case. Although he is a good DPS player, he can no longer play his role.

What is killing the game for me at the moment, and what prevents me from waking up and wanting to stream Overwatch, is knowing that I can’t play my DPS. […]
Players love to see me blow heads, and believe me, I want that more than anything else. But what if I really can’t do that anymore? What if the game physically does not allow me to? What do I do then?
These problems still exist: The long waiting times are not the only issue with the new role lock. Due to a bug, it happened that all players could compete against each other – even the weakest against the strongest.
This is the situation with Overwatch: Talking about the downfall of Overwatch is perhaps still a bit too early. At least the numbers on Twitch have remained consistently high for about a year, with fluctuations of less than 1% in average viewers (via sullygnome).
Some data on Overwatch on Twitch for the last year. Status: September 10, 2019.
For professionals like iddqd, the role lock could indeed mean the end of their careers and interests, but Overwatch itself seems to be doing quite well at least for the moment.
The Twitch streamer DrDisrespect has critically engaged with the hype surrounding WoW Classic. He finds nothing appealing about the MMORPG. He believes that the “average gamer on the street” might feel the same way and turn away from Twitch. This could jeopardize the careers of all Twitch streamers.
What bothers DrDisrespect about WoW Classic? In short: He cannot connect with the game. He cannot see or understand what is happening exactly.
Other big Twitch streamers, who usually play shooters, have shifted to WoW in the meantime, such as:
Many of them know WoW from the past and grew up with it.
Shroud is excited about WoW Classic – unimaginable for DrDisrespect.
However, Guy “DrDisrespect” Beahm is left out. He is 10 years older than most of his colleagues and has – at least in his role as a macho streamer – no connection to fantasy, RPG, or a mix of both.
In his own stream, he watches the Twitch stream of Asmongold as he is currently raiding in WoW Classic. DrDisrespect seems overwhelmed by what is happening before his eyes.

He points at interface elements in confusion and asks: “What the hell is going on here? What magical palace have I stepped into?” He repeatedly demands: “Asmon, you have to explain to me what is happening here.”
DrDisrespect then points at the hotbar: “What are all these buttons,” at the DPS meter: “What is that?” and at the party interface: “What is that above your head?”
It is clear: He cannot follow what is happening. The game is unreadable to him, the shooter fan, and is nothing but an “interface mishmash.”
Asmongold is an enthusiastic streamer of WoW Classic.
WoW Classic Could End Our Careers
This is the doctor’s concern: DrDisrespect turns to the fans and says he has concerns.
He then impersonates a “little guy from the street” who discovers Twitch for the first time and is so put off by the unreadability of WoW Classic that he says: “You won’t get a cent from me. What a ridiculous industry is this? I’m out of here.”

WoW Classic Raid Interface Not Readable for “Normies”
This is what it is about: DrDisrespect satirically amplifies his criticism as is his style. Nevertheless, at its core, from his perspective, it is understandable.
He has no relationship with MMORPGs and is a pure shooter player. For him, the raid interface that Asmongold has built in WoW Classic must be truly off-putting.
Normally, shooter games (Fortnite, Apex Legends) dominate the top channels on Twitch, an action game (GTA Online) or a MOBA (LoL) are also represented. As an exception, something like Sea of Thieves occasionally rises high. All these games are “easy to read” – this is certainly not the case for a WoW raid interface.
NCSoft has released two gameplay videos for the MMORPG Lineage 2M. The material looks really good. Over two million players have already registered for the title.
What does NCSoft show? In two videos, we get to see gameplay of the mobile MMORPG Lineage 2M. Among them is a funny dance of a group of players in in-game graphics.
There’s also a scene where a character runs through the world. Along with landscapes and a powerful dragon. All of this looks quite impressive.

What does Lineage 2M look like? Graphically, the MMORPG is absolutely convincing. The characters look detailed, the effects are impressive, and the landscapes invite exploration.
Lineage 2M does not give the impression of a mobile game, but rather looks like a PC MMORPG. No wonder, as the developers have big plans for the game.
For instance, 4K graphics are planned, and it is set to become a cross-platform game. You can then play Lineage 2M on PC through the Purple emulator, and then the graphics must impress even more. Therefore, the MMORPG is actually not a classic mobile game, but rather a cross-platform game.
NCSoft even claims that there will be no game in the coming years that can compete with Lineage 2M.

When does Lineage 2M start? The mobile game is set to be released in Korea later this year. When we will also get to enjoy it is still unknown.
What do players think about the MMORPG? According to NCSoft, over 2 million players have already registered for the mobile game. So the interest is apparently very high.
The predecessor Lineage M is also extremely successful. According to the company’s financial report from Q3 2017, Lineage M exceeded all expectations and increased mobile revenues by 488% compared to the previous quarter.
It is quite conceivable that Lineage 2M will also become such a success. At the very least, the expectations for the game are likely to be correspondingly high, especially since the PC MMORPG market is not as strong anymore, as can also be seen from the demise of Wildstar.
By the way, Lineage 2M should not be confused with the mobile game Lineage 2 Revolution. Both titles are said to differ greatly in terms of gameplay.
In Pokémon GO there are now Flunkifer, Absol, Alola Vulpix, and Alola Sandshrew in the wild. Players are excited about this surprise.
These new spawns include: On the evening of September 9, Week 2 of the Ultra Bonus started. The Johto journey with Shinys and Icognito has ended. Players quickly noticed that the monsters appearing in the wild had also changed. Especially exciting are these new spawns:
Flunkifer
Absol
Alola Vulpix
Alola Sandshrew
These spawns are particularly special for players because these monsters had not previously been catchable in the wild (there were exceptions at the GO Fest in Chicago and Yokohama). So you can now encounter them on your journeys with Pokémon GO.
Are the monsters also available as Shiny? Flunkifer and Absol have already been available in Shiny variants, and you can catch them in the wild as Shiny too. Trainers also report that Alola Vulpix can appear as Shiny in the wild. However, there have been few reports about Alola Sandshrew.
How good are the chances? The spawns of these four Pokémon are reportedly still quite rare according to initial reports. Some trainers have reported not seeing any of these Pokémon in the wild over the past few hours. Therefore, you will need a lot of luck for a Shiny version.
There are no reports that the chances of Shiny versions have been increased.
What about the regional Kanto Pokémon? In the next few days, you can hatch Tauros, Kangaskhan, Mr. Mime, and Porygon from 7km eggs. With luck, even as Shiny. If you encounter them in your region in the wild, they may appear as Shiny there as well.
This is how players are reacting
On social media, Pokémon GO trainers are diligently sharing their catches. They are pleased that Niantic chose this step and sent new Pokémon into the wild.

The release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is approaching. Soon you will have the opportunity to get a first glimpse of the multiplayer – in the Open Multiplayer Beta. The Modern Warfare Beta preload starts today on PS4.
When does the Modern Warfare Beta run? The Modern Warfare Beta is divided into 2 phases:
Phase 1 is PS4 exclusive and starts on September 12.
In Phase 2, interested players can join on all platforms – including PC and Xbox One. Phase 2 starts on September 19.
This is the start time for the beta preload on PS4: The Modern Warfare Beta is almost here on PS4. The preload is set to start today, September 10, for pre-orderers – between 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM German time.
When does the preload start on Xbox One and PC?
This is what we know so far about the preload on PC and Xbox One: According to Activision, the preload for PC and Xbox One is slated to start next week – before September 19.
Players on these two platforms can join the Modern Warfare Beta starting next week (from September 19) – with or without early access.
How to download the Modern Warfare Beta on PS4
Download for digital pre-orderers: If you pre-ordered Call of Duty: Modern Warfare digitally in the PS Store, the preload is straightforward.
As soon as it becomes available on September 10, head to the PS Store and search for “Modern Warfare”. You should find the Beta there. Select it and download it accordingly.
You can start the Beta on September 12. Your early access will be recognized automatically.
Download for retail pre-orderers: If you pre-ordered Modern Warfare at a retailer of your choice, you should receive a Modern Warfare Beta code via email from them. You need to redeem it on the official beta site under “Redeem Code”.
After doing this, you should receive a beta code from Activision via email today, September 10, which you need to redeem in the PS Store under “Redeem Code”. Your early access should then be correctly registered, allowing you to jump into the battles on September 12.
Download without pre-order: If you haven’t pre-ordered, you may have to wait a little longer. Because without a pre-order, as of September 11, the Beta is not yet available for download. Activision has not yet provided a specific time for this.
Can I use the data from the Modern Warfare Alpha? Some players still have the data from the PS4-exclusive Modern Warfare Alpha on their hard drive.
However, you can delete it without worry. As Activision has stated, the Modern Warfare Beta will have its own client, which must be downloaded separately.
YouTuber Daniel L has recreated the human city of Stormwind from World of Warcraft and given it a new HD look.
In World of Warcraft, there are plenty of large cities, but some of them radiate a special kind of magic. Especially in Stormwind, the capital of humans, many WoW players feel right at home as soon as the music starts or as they enter the city through the Valley of Heroes, passing by the great statues. After all, it’s the first real city that many players encounter.
YouTuber Daniel L has made it his mission for several years to wrap World of Warcraft in a new, modern look using Unreal Engine 4. After many other zones and areas have been converted, Stormwind was up next a few days ago, which you can admire here.

What you can see in the video: The video features a camera ride through the renovated Stormwind. The entire city has been rebuilt in Unreal Engine 4 and is therefore much higher resolution than in the actual game, albeit without the comic look. The ride starts in the Valley of Heroes and then moves into the Trade District, but also highlights some important buildings, such as Trias’s cheese shop (which works for SI:7) or the Mage Tower in the Mage Quarter, which can only be accessed through overgrown streets.
At the end, of course, a visit to the Cathedral Quarter, the heart of the human city dedicated to the teachings of the Light, must not be missed.
Would this fit WoW? A modernization to Unreal Engine 4 would naturally mean that World of Warcraft would lose its comic graphic style, which is a big part of the game’s appeal for many players. However, it’s interesting to see how Stormwind might look in a “more realistic” setting. Only the absence of NPCs makes the city seem a bit monotonous …
The developers of the pirate online game Sea of Thieves wanted to talk about the pets that will be introduced soon in a livestream. However, a little monkey caused some chaos.
What happened in the livestream? The team behind Sea of Thieves wanted to share a bit more about the pet system that will soon be introduced in the online game. During this, a little monkey provided some entertainment.
The capuchin monkey Antonio took a special liking to video manager Jon McFarlane. The others were feeding the animal mealworms when it suddenly jumped onto McFarlane and vomited on his shirt and also in his face.

How did the team react? Jon McFarlane found the situation amusing and laughed. The others also started laughing. McFarlane jokingly mentioned that fortunately he was wearing a gray shirt that day.
Later, the monkey even made a mess on McFarlane, which he apparently did not notice at all.
What was behind this? It seemed that everyone except McFarlane knew that something like this would happen and were just waiting for it. One developer even explained that they had expected something exactly like that.
Community wishes for vomiting pets
Why was the monkey present? The livestream was about the pets that players will soon be able to acquire in Sea of Thieves through an update. This includes parrots and also monkeys. After all, that is part of being a true pirate.
The capuchin monkey Antonio was simply meant to provide entertainment, which it certainly achieved with its vomiting episode.
How do players react to the situation? On Reddit, the livestream is a hot topic. Now the community naturally wishes that animals in the game could also vomit and urges the developers to introduce a corresponding emote with the pet system.
Additionally, players wish for a new achievement for the successful Sea of Thieves: The “MacFarlane Dilemma.” This should be earned when a pet in the game vomits on the character.
The launch trailer for Borderlands 3 has been released – albeit a bit too early. Now there is the official video in good resolution.
Update 09/10/2019: The trailer has now been officially released and is available in a nice, high-resolution format. Here you can watch it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Av5Eyx3bGtM
Original message: The long-awaited release of Borderlands 3 is finally just a few days away. To bring the quite large marketing campaign to a close, there’s of course also a launch trailer. It shouldn’t have been released yet, but was briefly accessible on Twitter before it was deleted. Clever fans immediately downloaded the trailer and are now happily spreading it.
The resolution of the trailer is rather poor quality, as the HD version was not yet available; however, the clip already conveys a good impression of the game and what it’s about – lots of madness.
What can be seen in the trailer? As usual, Borderlands 3 pulls out all the stops in the trailer and lets nearly all characters who presumably play an important part in the story make an appearance. These include not only the opponents in the form of the Calypso twins, but also the adult Tiny Tina. While jaunty music by Queen (Seven Seas of Rhye) plays, the four Vault Hunters appear in turn and beat, shoot, or enchant some psychos and bandits with Siren powers.
Oh yes. Wild chases, lots of explosions, and even a few spaceships are also included.
Or to put it in the words of the Calypso twins: Like, Comment and Obey.
When is Borderlands 3 released? There are only a few days left until the launch of Borderlands 3, as players can convince themselves of the action on Pandora (and other planets) starting September 13. By the way, there will be more content after the launch.
We have just published the final review for Borderlands 3. Check out the post:
In Destiny 2, we provide an overview of all Exotics from Shadowkeep and Season 8 that we already know. We summarize exotic weapons and armor.
Which Exotics are known? In the weeks and months leading up to the Shadowkeep release, quite a bit of gameplay material for the upcoming fall expansion was shown. This happened in the form of livestreams, gameplay trailers, or “leaks” from Guardians who secretly took photos at gaming events.
Recently, we got glimpses of new Exotics that will come into play with Shadowkeep or the new Season 8, the Season of the Undying,. We now present them to you in overview.
Monte Carlo – exotic auto rifle
What is Monte Carlo? The Monte Carlo was an exotic auto rifle in Destiny 1 that will return in Destiny 2. It can be seen in the gameplay trailer:
It is not known what perks the Monte Carlo will have in Destiny 2. In Destiny 1, it was a close-range weapon because the damage it dealt reduced the melee cooldown.
In Year 1 of Destiny 1, this weapon with the bayonet was a PlayStation-exclusive weapon.
In Destiny 2, it is a kinetic weapon that will be available during the Season of the Undying. This is shown in the icon in the following screenshot:
Deathbringer – exotic rocket launcher
This is Deathbringer: This rocket launcher has been seen multiple times and has been referred to as “Void Gjallarhorn”. Here’s what it looks like:
The Deathbringer deals Void damage and has one rocket in the magazine. Its exotic perk is called Dark Deliverance:
It fires projectiles that release void orbs on enemies. When you release the fire button, they explode.
Additionally, there’s the perk “Dark Descent”:
The longer the void orbs fall, the more powerful the explosion.
The spectacle looks like this:
In a screenshot of the Deathbringer, the Shadowkeep icon can be seen. This exotic will thus come with Shadowkeep.
Leviathan’s Breath – exotic bow
This is Leviathan’s Breath: This is an exotic heavy bow:
It is known that this bow will only be available through the Season Pass for Season 8. There is supposed to be a new weapon quest. In the end, you will receive the exotic.
We do not yet know the perk. However, it was shown in a ViDoc that the bow “pushes” opponents from where the arrow hits.
Eriana’s Vow – exotic hand cannon
This is Eriana’s Vow: We know very little about this weapon. It is likely the hand cannon in these screenshots:
It is known that you can also get this exotic through the new season pass system. If you pay for the season pass, you’ll get the weapon at rank 1. On the free reward track, the weapon is available at rank 35.
Gameplay material shows that Eriana’s Vow has a burn effect. Enemies take explosion damage – but you also start to “burn” if you fire the weapon for too long.
Exotic machine gun with unknown name
What kind of exotic is this? With Shadowkeep comes an exotic machine gun with an unknown name. However, we know its appearance and perk:
The MG deals Solar damage. The exotic perk is called Pyrotoxin Rounds. This allows the MG to fire explosive rounds with high power. It is supposed to play similarly to a linear fusion rifle.
A particular feature of this weapon is that it is supposed to be powered by an alien insect creature:
Divinity – exotic trace rifle
This is Divinity: Divinity is the last known exotic weapon in this overview. It is the confirmed raid exotic from the new Shadowkeep raid.
Divinity – see also our title image
Divinity deals Arc damage and has 194 rounds in the magazine. The exotic perk is called Judgement:
Consistent damage from this weapon envelops the target with a force field that weakens and stuns enemies.
Another perk is called Penance:
If enemies suffer long enough under the Judgement effect, they take damage.
Assassin’s Cowl – exotic hunter helm
The exotic perk causes you to become invisible and slightly replenishes health and shields when you defeat a Guardian with a melee attack or take down an enemy with a finishing move.
Phoenix Cradle – exotic titan leg armor
The exotic perk is not fully readable in this screenshot. However, the exotic has to do with a longer-lasting Sun Warrior bonus and sunspots. Allies also benefit when they walk through the spots – so it is an exotic for solar titans.
Stormdancer’s Brace – exotic warlock chest armor
The exotic perk causes every enemy you defeat with the Stormtrance Super to increase the damage you deal with Stormtrance. It is thus an exotic tailored to the Stormcaller.
In Fortnite the patch 10.20 came out and a data miner found information suggesting a Dark Legends Bundle. We will show you what could be included in the bundle and what it might look like.
What kind of bundle is this? This Dark Legends Bundle was leaked by @VastBlast on Twitter. It contains 3 new versions of skins that are already in the game and known.
Update September 10, 2019: According to data miner FNBR_Everything, the bundle has now been decrypted in the data. The bundle should be available in the shop in the next 24-48 hours.
What’s inside the Dark Legends Bundle
These cosmetics are included: 3 skins, a pickaxe, and 2 back blings have been found. They are dark versions of skins that are already known. The Dark Knight, Dark Wildcard, and Dark Jonesy. Additionally, there should be a dark pickaxe and 2 back blings. Here in the tweet, you can see how the bundle might look.
What is a bundle? A bundle consists of several cosmetics that are geared towards a specific theme. Usually, it contains skins, pickaxes, back blings, or weapon skins.
The bundles only come once and then remain in the Fortnite shop for a longer period. After that, these cosmetics will not return to the shop. So, you should definitely buy the bundle if you are interested in these skins.
An example of this would be the Shadow Rising Bundle from Season 9.
How much will the bundle cost? How much it will officially cost is still unclear. The last Shadow Rising Bundle cost 19.99 Euros (via FortniteInsider), one could assume that it will cost about the same.
Gunfire Games’ surprise hit Remnant from the Ashes has been on the market for a few weeks now. Time for a new supply! This week, players can look forward to a long-awaited feature.
What new content will there be for Remnant?Remnant from the Ashes had a strong start, and fans are hungry for new content. Gunfire Games announced two new contents in a corresponding post. The Adventure Mode will be available this week, specifically on Thursday, September 12.
A week later, on Thursday, September 19, new content will finally arrive, the Leto Laboratories. This storyline takes you through the Alpha Research Station. You will follow the trails of Leto Apostolakis, who researched fast travel with the crystals.
The area will randomly appear on Earth, and you may have to reset the area occasionally until the new dungeon appears. It should be worth it, as there will be a new boss fight to contend with and new loot to obtain.
What exactly does the Adventure Mode do?The Adventure Mode works similarly to Diablo 3. Instead of resetting your entire story progression as before, you can “roll” individual worlds anew at the crystal in Station 13. This will work on Thursday for the worlds Earth, Rhom, and Yaesha. Corsus is expected to follow later.
At the crystal in Station 13, you can reset individual worlds
Resetting a world has no effect on your story. Everything you find in Adventure Mode, you can keep. With the Adventure Mode, it should be easier to collect any missing quests or items, as you don’t always have to reset the entire story.
What will the updates cost? The updates are free and available to any player who has purchased the main game.
Whether the developer will also fix some annoying bugs such as the missing communication option with the Seed Mother in multiplayer in the update is still unknown. The connection issues in public sessions are also frustrating many players. It’s to be hoped that some of the problems will be addressed soon.
What do you think of the new content? Are you looking forward to it?
This will make every opponent breathless. With this combo, a Druid gains more than 650,000 armor in Hearthstone – effectively making him nearly immortal.
A few weeks ago, we had a player from Hearthstone who managed to build a proud 2,500 armor in just one turn. However, this record has now been far surpassed. One player has managed to execute a combo that leaves the hero with 655,364 armor at the end. Victory for the opponent is virtually impossible.
How does the combo work? To play the combo from the video, you need to be in “wild” game mode. Here, all cards can be played. It’s important to use the Druid class in order to execute the combo:
Through Imperator Thaurissan, the Druid reduces the costs of the remaining cards in hand. These include cards like “ARGH! BEES!!!”, but also Healing Touch and Earthen Scales, as well as the main “hero” of the entire combo, the Devastator. This card doubles its attack every time it overwhelms a minion. In addition, Flurps’ glorious Glibber is needed along with Elise the Enlightened.
Elise doubles the cards in the Druid’s hand, and then the fun begins. Thanks to the card discounts, the Druid can play the Devastator and then attack with “ARGH! BEES!!!” up to 16 times. Each time, the Devastator’s attack is doubled. With Healing Touch, the Druid ensures that the Devastator does not die in between.
Elise allows the devastating move.
The end result is a Devastator with 327,680 attack! This is buffed 2 more times with Earthen Scales, giving it +1/+1 and simultaneously granting the Druid the attack power of the minion as armor.
This results in a proud armor total of 655,364 – insurmountable for the rest of the game.
To top it all off, the Druid also has a win condition – namely the Jade Idol. With it, he can generate not only an infinite number of cards but also summon increasingly powerful minions.
How likely is it? For the combo to work, the perfect cards need to be in the Druid’s hand. A bit of luck is definitely involved. In most games, the combo probably won’t come into play, as the Druid must survive until the end. However, if successful, the joy is immense.
What do you think of this combo? Brilliant or just annoying?
Finally, it is known which content the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Open Beta will offer. A multiplayer beta trailer already provides a first glimpse. Players will be able to try the following modes and features before the release.
Beta content officially announced: For a long time, it was unclear which content the Modern Warfare Beta would include. While there were smaller info snippets, an official overview was lacking until now. That has now changed.
Shortly before the start of the Modern Warfare Multiplayer Beta on September 12, Activision has now announced the playable content in a blog and provided a first glimpse of it in a trailer. We show you what you can look forward to during the beta.
What’s included in the Modern Warfare Beta: From fast 2vs2 battles to traditional 6vs6 gameplay to large-scale fights, there should be something for everyone. Players can look forward to the following modes and features during the multiplayer beta:
What does the trailer show? In addition to the dynamic match entry via helicopter, there are also some quick combat scenes, a night map using night vision goggles, and the iconic Harrier kill streak.
In addition, there is finally a first look at Ground War, the largest mode of the Modern Warfare multiplayer. Large groups of players fight there using vehicles and helicopters – close to the style of Battlefield. Quads are also used there.
How can you participate in the beta? The Modern Warfare Beta starts on September 12 and offers all interested parties the chance to get a first impression of the multiplayer of the latest series installment before its release.
The beta is divided into 2 phases and is basically open to all players after the pre-order early access. Phase 1 is PS4-exclusive, phase 2 is aimed at interested parties on all platforms – including PC and Xbox One.
This week in Pokémon GO, you can find all Deoxys forms in raids. Learn how to defeat the Normal form, Speed form, Attack form, and Defense form of the former EX Raid Boss here.
You can find Deoxys here: In Pokémon GO, this week begins the second part of the Ultra Bonus. With it, Deoxys will appear in regular level-5 raids. Previously, you could only challenge and catch Deoxys as an EX Raid Boss.
What is special about Deoxys: Deoxys can be encountered in four different forms.
Basic tips for catching Deoxys: Deoxys is a Psychic-type Pokémon. Once you’ve defeated it, you can increase your catch chances by using berries or making excellent throws. The different forms of the Pokémon differ slightly from one another.
Best counters against the Normal form
These attacks are used by Deoxys in the Normal form: If you challenge Deoxys in the Normal form, it can primarily know Psychic and Electric attacks.
Normal Deoxys can use Zen Headbutt (Psychic) or Charge Beam (Electric) as its fast attack. For its charge attacks, it can use Psyshock (Psychic), Thunderbolt (Electric), and Hyper Beam (Normal).
The normal Deoxys has an attack value of 345 and a defense value of 115. So in theory, it can deal a lot of damage, but it can’t take much.
Deoxys in the Normal form
These are the best counters against Normal Deoxys: Deoxys is weak against Ghost, Dark, and Bug-type Pokémon. The best counters against Deoxys in the Normal form are:
Giratina with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball
Tyranitar with Bite and Crunch
Attack form Deoxys with Sludge Bomb and Dark Pulse
Gengar with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
Alternatively, you can also use Banette, Kramshef, Scizor, Absol, and Raikou if you have the right attack combinations (movesets).
Best counters against the Speed form
These attacks are used by Deoxys in the Speed form: In the Speed form, Deoxys has a slightly changed moveset.
It also has Zen Headbutt and Charge Beam as its fast attacks. For the charge attacks, Speed Deoxys knows Psyshock (Psychic), Meteor Mash (Steel), and Thunder Cannon (Electric).
These attacks are used by Deoxys in the Defense form: Defense Deoxys also knows the Psychic attack Zen Headbutt, but can also learn the Fighting attack Counter. The charge attacks include Psyshock (Psychic), Rock Slide (Rock), and Thunder Cannon (Electric).
It has a defense value of 330, while its attack value is 144. So it can take a lot of hits, but offensively it isn’t particularly dangerous – since you can’t use it in gyms, it is of little use.
However, you will need at least three players to take on the Defense form – probably more.
These are the best counters against Defense Deoxys: Against the Defense form, you are best prepared with Ghost and Dark-type Pokémon. The best counters are:
Giratina with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
Tyranitar with Bite and Crunch
Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball
Gengar with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
Snibunna with Faint Attack and Leech Seed
Following them are Banette, Raikou, Absol, Pinsir, and Traunmagil.
Best counters against the Attack form
These attacks are used by Deoxys in the Attack form: As the name suggests, the Attack form is fully focused on offense. The huge attack value of 414 is impressive, but the defense of 46 significantly hinders this Deoxys form. It could theoretically deal a lot of damage, but it doesn’t last long in battle.
The Attack form knows Zen Headbutt and Sludge Bomb as its fast attacks. The charge attacks are Psyshock (Psychic), Dark Pulse (Dark), and Thunder Cannon (Electric). You could even defeat this form alone in EX Raids.
Deoxys in the Attack form
These are the best counters against Attack Deoxys: This Deoxys form is also vulnerable to similar Pokémon. The best ones to try are:
Giratina with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
Tyranitar with Bite and Crunch
Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball
Gengar with Lick and Shadow Ball
Snibunna with Faint Attack and Leech Seed
If you already have an Attack Deoxys, you can send it into battle as well. Next are Kramshef, Raikou, Houndoom, and Absol as good candidates. As part of the Ultra Bonus, several good counters for Deoxys will be available in raids.
Now that Deoxys can be caught in regular raids, a new EX Raid Boss will likely appear. These are potential candidates:
The new Tracking Tonic brings a new wave of Pokémon GO to Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. We show you what the new potion can do and what the players are saying about it.
What kind of potion is this? In your brewing recipes in Wizards Unite you can now find the new Tracking Tonic. After consumption, you will gain the effect of discovering more traces in the world.
Players have already discovered that you find a new trace about every three minutes. Whether you’re moving or not.
To brew the new potion, you need:
6x Christophskraut
4x Pustelsaft
4x Engelstrompete
2x Erumpent-Horn
Without Master Notes, the brewing process takes 7 hours.
What else is new? The new potion came into the game with the latest update. On September 6th, the Wizards Unite team announced that the new potion and a free gift were introduced through the update.
Additionally, the basic capacity of ingredients for new players was raised from 200 to 210. Existing players receive this expansion for free in the gift. The potion capacity was also increased from 50 to 55. This increase can be redeemed in the same way as the item expansion.
The healing potions you previously received upon leveling up have been replaced with 25 Spell Energy.
This is included in the free gift: In the Wizards Unite shop, you can pick up a free gift in the next 10 days. It contains:
1x Tracking Tonic
10x Ingredient capacity
5x Potion capacity
5x Seed and Water capacity
6x Christophskraut
4x Pustelsaft
4x Engelstrompete
2x Erumpent-Horn
“It was about time”
Wizards Unite is the game Niantic released after Pokémon GO. Both are based on a similar AR principle and often utilize the same features. The community was already wondering when such an item would come.
In Wizards Unite, Baruffio’s Brain Elixir grants double XP for 30 minutes, just like Lucky Eggs in Pokémon GO. With an Antiobscurant, you can find more threatening traces around an inn in Wizards Unite, similarly to how the Lure Module functions in Pokémon GO.
That’s why it’s so bitter: TSM had positioned themselves excellently throughout the year to snatch the 3rd place at the LoL Worlds – but squandered it in just a few matches. They had already missed the Worlds in 2018.
“Team SoloMid” is the US team with probably the largest fan base. The marketing and professionalism of the eSports organization are also considered strong. Between 2011 and 2017, they secured several first places and often competed for the top spot in the USA.
TSM fans discuss their team similarly to how one might discuss Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in football: they can practically attract any “top player”. There’s enough money, at least from the perspective of the supporters.
LoL players like the Dane Bjergsen on the mid lane are international stars and popular with fans. But somehow, lately, things have not been going well, and the team cannot replicate the successes of the past.
In 2018, TSM missed the Worlds – in 2019 they will miss it again.
Doublelift hangs over TSM like a curse.
This is particularly bitter because an US team, Team Liquid, is currently on the rise. Team Liquid made an impact at the 2019 Mid Season Invitationals in LoL and managed to give the strong Asians a black eye. Many TSM fans wish their team to play that role.
It’s also bitter that the LoL veteran Doublelift plays a major role at Team Liquid – who was long with TSM and swore revenge after the team ruthlessly replaced him.

This is what the winners say: The top laner of CG, Heo “Huni” Seung-Hoon, says to Inven: After the first two losses, they were not down at all. The team was not tilted, but in a good mood. They believe in each other, trust each other, and play for the team. That’s why CG won.
No one expects them to perform well at the Worlds now. But no one expected them to qualify at all.
That’s the beauty of not getting support – there is no pressure:
“If we lose, who cares?”
Huni in an interview with Inven
At TSM, the loss seems to matter to a lot of people. Maybe that’s the difference.
At this point, TSM still looked like a secure winner.
As Dotesports writes, TSM was able to dominate the first matches through aggressive ganks on the mid lane and bot gaming early on, but Clutch Gaming managed to come back in both games.
Only through weak team fights did Clutch Gaming end up losing the two matches.
But from game 3 onwards, CG was in control and TSM collapsed. The early ganks failed this time, and they kept losing games one after the other.

This is what the winners say: The top laner of CG, Heo “Huni” Seung-Hoon, says to Inven: After the first two losses, they were not down at all. The team was not tilted, but in a good mood. They believe in each other, trust each other, and play for the team. That’s why CG won.
No one expects them to perform well at the Worlds now. But no one expected them to qualify at all.
That’s the beauty of not getting support – there is no pressure:
“If we lose, who cares?”

At TSM, the loss seems to matter to a lot of people. Maybe that’s the difference.
After the first two matches, TSM was indeed leading 2-0 against “Clutch Gaming”. However, it did not seem so convincing.

At this point, TSM still looked like a secure winner.
As Dotesports writes, TSM was able to dominate the first matches through aggressive ganks on the mid lane and bot gaming early on, but Clutch Gaming managed to come back in both games.
Only through weak team fights did Clutch Gaming end up losing the two matches.
But from game 3 onwards, CG was in control and TSM collapsed. The early ganks failed this time, and they kept losing games one after the other.

That’s why it’s so bitter: TSM had positioned themselves excellently throughout the year to snatch the 3rd place at the LoL Worlds – but squandered it in just a few matches. They had already missed the Worlds in 2018.
“Team SoloMid” is the US team with probably the largest fan base. The marketing and professionalism of the eSports organization are also considered strong. Between 2011 and 2017, they secured several first places and often competed for the top spot in the USA.
TSM fans discuss their team similarly to how one might discuss Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in football: they can practically attract any “top player”. There’s enough money, at least from the perspective of the supporters.
LoL players like the Dane Bjergsen on the mid lane are international stars and popular with fans. But somehow, lately, things have not been going well, and the team cannot replicate the successes of the past.
In 2018, TSM missed the Worlds – in 2019 they will miss it again.
Doublelift hangs over TSM like a curse.
This is particularly bitter because an US team, Team Liquid, is currently on the rise. Team Liquid made an impact at the 2019 Mid Season Invitationals in LoL and managed to give the strong Asians a black eye. Many TSM fans wish their team to play that role.
It’s also bitter that the LoL veteran Doublelift plays a major role at Team Liquid – who was long with TSM and swore revenge after the team ruthlessly replaced him.

At TSM, the loss seems to matter to a lot of people. Maybe that’s the difference.
In League of Legends, “Team SoloMid” has once again failed. After a bitter defeat against Clutch Gaming, the LoL Worlds 2019 will take place without the major US team TSM. The star players around Bjergsen appear disappointed. The way they lost was particularly bitter: they surrendered a 2-0 lead against an underdog.
Which game was lost? Today was the decisive last game at the “Regional Finals” in the LCS. Here, 4 teams compete against each other to determine who gets the 3rd place for North America at the Worlds 2019: This is the huge LoL World Championship at the end of the year.
For these spots, the professionals fight all year round. Ultimately, good performances during the season mean nothing – in deciding games, only one emerges victorious at the end.
The qualifiers are a competition of the “losers”: as teams 3 to 6 from the league compete against each other. The two top US teams, Team Liquid (winners of the LCS in summer) and Cloud 9 (most points in the LCS), are already qualified for the Worlds and do not participate in the qualifiers.
However, TSM had the best placement for the tournament. They were waiting in the finals for the team that fought through the first 2 rounds. TSM only had to win this one pairing.
In the finals, they faced Clutch Gaming: who previously eliminated FLYQuest and CLG.
TSM leads 2:0, but somehow loses clearly
This is how the finals went: The games were played in a “Best of 5” format – a LoL team needed 3 wins to win and secure their place at the Worlds 2019.

Borderlands 3 has received mostly positive feedback so far. Only one outlier highlights the sides that are not received as well, somewhat more clearly.
What is praised
The positives in short: The majority of reviews agree on the positive points regarding Borderlands 3. Frequently praised are:
The action-packed, fast-paced gameplay
An elaborate and rewarding skill and progress system
The selection and enormous variety of different weapons
This is how the gameplay is received: The gameplay of Borderlands 3 ranges from cutscenes, in which you can gain background knowledge about the characters or hear funny stories, to numerous quests, up to the naturally abundant shootouts.
The latter, according to the reviews, makes up a large part of the charm of Borderlands 3 and also a good portion of the game itself. The shootouts are not always challenging, but entertaining. GameStar writes about this:
Borderlands 3 rarely provides a truly demanding challenge – and that is completely fine! It aims to be a shooter-Diablo, and that naturally includes mountains of cannon fodder that we can slaughter to our heart’s content.
This is how the skill system is received: Particularly for players who want to enjoy the co-op mode of Borderlands 3, the skill aspect is interesting. The four available heroes of the game all come with unique abilities and skill trees.
Depending on how you skill, the characters play differently and a little more individually.
Borderlands 3 offers more flexibility than ever before to create the character you want. For the first time in the series, an active skill is linked to one of the three talent trees of the vault hunter. […] As a result, you and a friend can easily play the same character but have completely different builds and roles in the battlefield.
This is how the weapons are received: However, the aforementioned weapons are the highlight for most testers. Previous installments of Borderlands 3 have already amazed with a plethora of weapons that are worth collecting, testing, and using.
With the random combinations of features, every weapon drop is a surprise. The weapons feel extremely different. Every player will likely experience at some point a specific weapon with too low a level dragged along much longer than anticipated because it feels so perfect for them.
What is criticized
The negatives in short: On the other hand, there are also some points that are perceived negatively. In most reviews, the advantages comfort the testers over minor flaws. Only PCGamer is harsher in its judgment of Borderlands 3. The magazine particularly criticizes:
The flat characters and only somewhat engaging story
The childish scatological humor
Boring endgame and frequent occurring bugs
This is what bothers about the story: Regarding the characters, PCGamer writes that they are often introduced quickly, say their lines, and then disappear or are made to disappear. It is as if the characters are supposed to be already familiar, and you should be happy that they appear briefly.
There are exceptions, but many characters are quite flat.
This is what bothers about the content: The humor seems to be one of the biggest points of criticism that PCGamer raises. It might have been funny a few years ago, but it no longer suffices to convince today:
It is stuck in the ’00s, when superficial vulgarity was enough to be ‘extraordinary’ – Borderlands 3 really goes for the poop jokes. Back when the series first gained traction, that was sufficient. […]
It is simultaneously attractive and repulsive, an FPS-RPG that stands out when its weapon generation system spits out weapons that feel wonderful, supplemented with additions that turn hordes of minions, bugs, and soldiers into clouds of red mist […] And then it tells one of its long, bad jokes, and the cloud disappears. I have a terrible trauma.
The endgame is deemed boring as it simply requires more and harder grinding or a replay of the story. However, some bugs mean that players may spend longer in certain areas than they would like.
As the “best and worst part of the series” Borderlands 3 simply comes too late.
