In GTA Online, the new super sports car Benefactor Krieger will be released soon. Players are already celebrating the car. What makes the new vehicle so special?
What kind of car is this? The Benefactor Krieger is a new super sports car that will be released during the Casino DLC in GTA Online.
Visually, it resembles the hybrid car Mercedes AMG One in real life. It is a two-seater.
How much will the Krieger cost? According to data miners, the price of the Krieger will be a staggering 2,875,000 GTA dollars. It will soon be available for purchase at Legendary Motorsport. If you’re short on cash, we show you here 11 ways to earn money quickly in GTA Online.
This is what players say: In the community, others advise racing enthusiasts: If you’re low on cash, don’t spend your money now. Wait for the release of the Krieger.
Even before its release, the Krieger enjoys a good reputation in the community. This is thanks to test results. YouTubers have been able to find out more about the car with the help of data miners.
What makes the Krieger so good? Early tests
This is what the testers say: The YouTuber Broughy1322 is known for his expertise with vehicles in GTA Online. He specializes in races where he measures the lap times of cars. He also closely looks at the top speeds the cars can reach.
The two cars are considered the fastest cars of the current DLC. The Emerus is already available and is the fastest car without rocket propulsion in GTA Online. Here, the Krieger could potentially be even faster. And that’s why the community is eagerly waiting for its release and the test data. Will it be the fastest car in GTA Online?
In an early test, the YouTuber put both vehicles to the test. A new test will happen once the Krieger is officially in the game.

Players are already actively discussing the cars that will be released in GTA Online in the coming weeks.
On Reddit, user Agentkeenan78: “Yeah, this car will be purchased on day one!”.
User repl0id says he was able to test the Krieger in single-player mode. He writes about the car “Beautiful, all-wheel drive, good customization, very fast, good traction; definitely one to keep an eye on. Doesn’t have to be the fastest, but definitely in the top 10. Must buy.”
Many also praise the design of the Krieger. The rear resembles an Audi R8 LMS. Some say: A MUST for collectors of super sports cars, even if it doesn’t become the fastest car in the game.
How do you like the Krieger so far? Is this a car you want to buy?
About a month ago, Legends of Aria was released on Steam. But how well did the MMORPG perform there? Let’s take a look at the current numbers.
How does Legends of Aria perform on Steam? In the last 24 hours, around 560 players have started the MMORPG via Steam. This also corresponds to the average number of players over the last 30 days, which is 542 players.
It is notable that the numbers have slightly declined, but overall remain stable. Some days in August did not reach 500 players at peak, but in both September days, Legends of Aria managed to do so again.
So the MMORPG seems to motivate and retain fans. However, the total number of players is quite low.
The Steam reviews were balanced right from the start. 55% of the reviews were positive. This number has remained stable. Today, the MMORPG has 305 reviews on Steam, of which 56% are positive, but many are still from the first week (207).
What is LoA doing well? The newer reviews confirm what players said at the release on Steam. Positive aspects of Legends of Aria include:
The sandbox content like crafting and housing
Fair, but necessary grind
The proximity to Ultima Online
The freedom of private servers
The theme of freedom is also confirmed by the Steam user Heol:
The gameplay is a bit clunky, but I can recommend it if you like to do your own things in your own place and can set your own goals.
But aside from the freedom, there is also significant criticism.
What is LoA doing poorly? There are still discussions about PvP because it was reduced at the start of Legends of Aria. Otherwise, the lack of direction from the developers is in the foreground:
Originally planned as Shards Online, the individual servers were in focus. Now the MMORPG has its own world that the developers have provided.
Many small design decisions move the game further away from Ultima Online
The performance is also criticized in the latest reviews. At least that’s what Steam user VegansLiveHealthy writes:
Importantly, even the lowest graphic settings are not low. You need strong hardware for PvP. I only get 10 FPS [,,].
If really low graphic settings are created for weak PCs, then I’m happy and will give feedback again.
What are the plans for LoA’s future? According to a new Developer Update from August 30, a lot of work is being done on bugs and quality of life. The focus is now on update 0.8, which is supposed to bring new, dynamic PvE content.
If you don’t like Legends of Aria, we may have alternatives for you in this list:

Additionally, this year’s installment is said to deliver a better motion engine, improved ball handling, better reactions in defense, and upgrades for the game AI.
Who is NBA 2K20 suitable for? If you’re not a big basketball fan, the game probably won’t appeal to you. However, if you are interested, NBA 2K20 offers a fresh and current basketball experience.

Who is the game suitable for? For anyone who has always wanted to become a virtual professional rally driver. Since the game costs €59.99, it might initially attract only hardcore rally and motorsport fans.

Who is Torchlight II suitable for? Torchlight II has been available for PC since 2012, and now you can also play it on PS4. If you like fast-paced hack-and-slash games, you will enjoy Torchlight.

When will Torchlight II be released? It starts on September 3, 2019.
What is Monster Hunter World: Iceborne? Iceborne is described as a “huge expansion” that expands Monster Hunter World with a new story, new quests, monsters, weapons and armor and a new quest rank. It is said that Iceborne can match the scope of the base game.
You will explore a new snow-covered area where you will face new monsters, such as the mysterious Elder Dragon Velkhana or the fan-favorite Zinogre, which will hit you hard with ice attacks. So make sure to dress warmly.
The base game Monster Hunter World is required to play the Iceborne expansion.
Who is Monster Hunter World: Iceborne suitable for? The expansion primarily targets fans of Monster Hunter World who already own the base game. They can continue their journey as monster hunters. However, newcomers can also have their fun after battling through the main story of the base game. Read more about it here:
In September, a new EX Raid Boss is expected to appear in Pokémon GO. Which Pokémon will you be able to battle in the special raids? We have taken a closer look at four candidates.
This was the EX Raid Boss so far: After Mewtwo left the EX Raids as a boss, the mysterious Pokémon Deoxys took its place. The various forms of the monster have been available in EX Raids over the past months.
Deoxys was the last boss in the EX Raids
Between September 9 and 16, all forms will be available for the first time in regular raids as part of the best Pokémon GO month ever. It is likely that we will face a new boss in the EX Raids then. But who will it be?
These 4 Pokémon could be successors to Deoxys
Who will follow Deoxys? The two EX Raid bosses Mewtwo and Deoxys were not catchable in the game before they entered the EX Raids. Thus, they held a special status. Therefore, it can be assumed that the upcoming EX Raid boss will also not have been available before – and will likely be quite strong.
Some Pokémon from Generation 4 are still missing that could qualify as EX Raid bosses. In addition, the release of Generation 5 with its legendary and mysterious Pokémon is imminent. The following candidates would fit as a new boss.
Darkrai
What makes Darkrai special: Darkrai is a mysterious Dark-type Pokémon and an absolute fan favorite among Pokémon players. It is characterized by an extremely high attack value and has been regarded for a long time as one of the favorites to succeed Deoxys.
Darkrai belongs to the Pokémon of Generation 4 that have not been released yet and could therefore still make its way into the EX Raids. Among the candidates for the Deoxys succession, it would be the most useful Pokémon; with the right moves, it could be the strongest Dark attacker in the game.
Darkrai’s potential stats in Pokémon Go:
Max CP: 3739
HP: 172
Attack: 285
Defense: 198
Possible moves of Darkrai: According to “Pokefans”, Darkrai could receive the fast moves Feint and Standpauke. The charge moves would be quite diverse: With Focus Blast (Fighting type), Shadow Ball (Ghost type), and Dark Pulse (Dark type), there are several options for Darkrai.
What makes Shaymin special: Shaymin is also a mysterious Pokémon from Generation 4. It has the Grass type – at least in its Land Form. Like Deoxys, it has an additional form: the Sky Form, which also adds the Flying type. Similar to Deoxys, it could appear in two different variants over different periods. It offers solid stats but would be overlooked in the meta.
Shaymin’s potential stats in Pokémon Go:
Max CP: 3265 (Land Form) / 3592 (Sky)
HP: 225 (Land) / 225 (Sky)
Attack: 210 (Land) / 261 (Sky)
Defense: 210 (Land) / 166 (Sky)
Possible moves of Shaymin in Pokémon Go: Currently, Shaymin is associated with the fast moves Hidden Power and Zen Headbutt. As charge moves, Grass-type attacks like Energy Ball, Seed Bomb, and Solar Beam are potential options.
What is particularly exciting about Arceus is that its type varied in the original games. With the right “plate”, it could assume any type. It is possible that it appears as an EX Raid Boss in different variations.
Arceus’s potential stats in Pokémon Go:
Max CP: 3989
HP: 237
Attack: 238
Defense: 238
Possible moves of Arceus in Pokémon Go: Current potential fast moves for Arceus include Iron Tail and Dark Claw; possible charge moves would be Future Sight, Hyper Beam, and Outrage. If special type distribution for Arceus were to be considered, it would also be possible that the different variants could be equipped with the top moves of their respective types.
What makes Genesect special: Genesect as a new EX Raid Boss would be a huge surprise and is more of an outsider tip. This is because it belongs to the mysterious Pokémon of Generation 5. Chronologically, the Pokémon of Generation 4 would therefore have a higher probability of being the new boss.
However, it would fit well as a raid boss compared to Mewtwo and Deoxys. The former was, according to Pokémon lore, the result of an experiment, and Deoxys represented an extraterrestrial Pokémon. Genesect also originated in its current form from experiments in the main games and is considered an “extraordinary” Pokémon. Additionally, it does not belong to any trio or duo. It is possible that it could be a surprise addition to the start of Generation 5 in Pokémon Go in the EX Raids. The Steel and Bug Pokémon was only obtainable via events and trades in the main games.
Genesect’s potential stats in Pokémon Go:
Max CP: 3288
HP: 174
Attack: 252
Defense: 199
Possible moves of Genesect in Pokémon Go: Nothing is yet known about Genesect’s potential moves. In the main games, it primarily utilized Steel, Bug, and Electric-type moves. Among others, Genesect could score with Hyper Beam, Bug Buzz, Flash Cannon, and X-Scissor in the main games.
In addition to the new EX Raids, there are also new raid bosses in September. How you can defeat them is explained here:
Since WoW Classic has been playable for over a week, a trend of the most popular classes is slowly emerging. At least, this can be read to a certain extent from the demand for specific guides.
These are the most popular classes: The two sites wowhead and IcyVeins have published statistics indicating the popularity of their specific class guides.
Every class has its advantages and disadvantages, but at least in terms of guides, there are strong tendencies towards popularity. The distribution is somewhat different. The guides on the two sites have different levels of popularity:
Oops, unfortunately this table is no longer available.
Status of the table: September 3 at 3 PM.
It is particularly noticeable that in both lists, the healing classes are at the very bottom. In IcyVeins, every class that can heal is in the last places. In wowhead, at least the Hunter is still behind the Priest.
How are the numbers determined?
This is the basis of the rating: The numbers cannot be read with absolute certainty to determine which classes are played a lot and which are played little. Since it is only about the popularity of the guides, it can only be stated with certainty that more users look up how to play a Warrior than a Druid.
Warrior, yay – Druids, nay.
Reliable counting tools like Realmpop for the retail version of WoW are still missing in Classic. However, pure damage classes like Mages are generally more popular, as they can also solo through the game easily. A Mage even reached level 60 first.
This explains some positions: The popularity of these classes also explains why the guides are read more often. Players probably simply want to quickly reach the maximum level.
The fact that Priests are less popular is rather surprising. They are considered to be some of the strongest healers in WoW Classic and should also find a place in every group. Anyone playing a Priest in WoW Classic will quickly find friends. However, their rank could have several reasons:
Only one healer is needed per group
Leveling as a healer without a group takes significantly longer
Healer players might be experienced enough not to need to read guides
For classes like the Paladin and Shaman, their position is explained by the fact that they are only available for one faction each. This alone diminishes the potential readership for the corresponding guides. Some players are surely also still experimenting with finding the right class for themselves:
With the start of the new Season 8, Bungie is introducing a kind of Battle Pass for Destiny 2. Many Guardians view this feature skeptically. However, this system isn’t that new. Destiny 1 already had something similar with the Grimoire Cards, and many Guardians thought it was great.
What is the Battle Pass? Bungie wants to make the upcoming Season 8 a bit more exciting. Therefore, there will be the possibility to level up within a total of 100 seasonal ranks – in a kind of Battle Pass. For the various rank upgrades, you can then snag rewards. All you have to do is play Destiny 2 and earn experience points. Those who own the Season Pass will have access to many more rewards.
After a season ends, the ranks will reset, and it all starts over again. The Battle Pass system will be available at the beginning of October.
That’s why this system is not really new: With the “The Dawning” expansion, Bungie introduced the Grimoire Books in Destiny 1 to reward Guardians in-game. To do so, one simply had to play Destiny 1, complete various challenges, and earn experience points for the book. This allowed players to level up in the book and receive loot. Many Guardians appreciated this system and eagerly completed their tasks to complete their Grimoire Book and earn loot.
The “Age of Triumph” Grimoire Book from Destiny 1
These tasks included, for example, completing an activity between the release of Destiny 1 and “The Darkness Rises”.
For this, there were usually cool rewards such as emblems and badges, Ghost shells, or armor pieces. Additionally, the Grimoire Book was a great way to keep track of one’s achievements – like in a kind of diary.
The Destiny 2 Battle Pass is coming in Season 8.
The two systems are not that different. Nevertheless, the Battle Pass and the Grimoire Book share both similarities and differences.
What is the same in both systems:
Players receive various rewards for leveling up.
The system is divided into ranks.
Experience points help in leveling up.
Both target passionate players.
How the Battle Pass and Grimoire Book differ:
Rank upgrades in the Grimoire Book are only achieved by completing challenges.
The Grimoire Book remained available to players. Many milestones could be completed without time pressure. However, the content of the Battle Pass disappears from the game after the respective season.
The Battle Pass introduces a kind of catch-up mechanic. This gives players the opportunity to purchase missing ranks towards the end of a season.
This is what the Guardians say about this feature: The “new” Battle Pass is raising concerns among some players. Most are still viewing the feature skeptically. The Battle Pass format, known from games like Fortnite, faces rejection from some because it often comes hand in hand with microtransactions. Additionally, concerns are raised that Bungie may throttle rank progression for all “normal” players, making it extra hard to encourage spending money in the game and on the Battle Pass.
Others recall with joy the Grimoire Book and the fun associated with it. They view the upcoming feature as a good addition to the current grind, find the parallel to Destiny 1 and the Grimoire Books fantastic, and try to alleviate the fears of the skeptics. After all, this format also worked great in Destiny 1.
What do you think of the “new” Battle Pass? Do you remember the Grimoire Book? Let us know in the comments.
The coop shooter Remnant: From the Ashes is not only full of action. Secrets and puzzles are waiting to be discovered and solved at every corner. This is also true in the world of Yaesha, where you need to solve various bell puzzles, Bell Puzzle, for items and the trait “Swiftness”.
What kind of puzzles are these? In Remnant: From the Ashes, it is not only about facing hordes of monsters and tough bosses, like the disgusting The Unclean One. Secrets also need to be found and puzzles solved.
Two of these puzzles can be found in the jungle-like world of Yaesha. There, the Pan await you, some of whom are not hostile. One of them wants you to listen to his melody.
In a dark dungeon, you will also encounter strange bells that conceal a secret.
The worlds all develop differently. If you do not find these puzzles in your game, it is due to dynamically generated maps. With the upcoming Adventure Mode, specific points of the game should be selectable.
How to solve the flute player’s bell puzzle
Where can you find the puzzle? The puzzle can be found in the section “Flute Player of the Pan”. Follow the world stone straight through a kind of tunnel, and you will soon see the character, who is sitting elevated next to a row of bells.
Be careful, as there are also enemies here who particularly like to sneak up on you.
If you talk to the flute player, he will tell you that he cannot give you any answers. Instead, you should listen. He will then start to play a short melody on his flutes. Video game veterans will probably roll their eyes now, because of course, the Pan wants you to play his little tune.
This is how you solve the puzzle: If you like it to be a bit trickier, you can try to figure out the order through the finger movements of the Pan on his flute. However, this can turn out to be complicated, as the flute player plays on two flutes simultaneously. However, you can also figure out the order by ear and simply play the melody back with the bells.
Whoever does not have time and patience for that should simply remember this order: The bells are numbered from left to right. Shoot the bells in the order 3-4-5-3-2-1.
This is your reward: If you successfully solve the bell puzzle, you will receive the Heart Ring of the Wolf. This increases your stamina by 25% and your movement speed by 10%.
You can watch a description of the puzzle in this video by Faldran:

Where can you find the puzzle? You can complete this puzzle at all the bells in Yaesha. This way, as many players as possible should have a chance to get the “Swiftness” trait, even if they do not find all the bells in their world.
We suggest solving the puzzle at the bells of the Pan when you have this part in your game. The bells are close together here and can be played quickly and conveniently.
This is how you solve the puzzle: To solve the puzzle, you need to play part of the “Song of the Guardian”. The order is given by many players as 1-1-3-4-1-1-3-2. However, some players also report that they had a different combination.

Where can you find the puzzle? The second bell puzzle is located in a dungeon. In Widow’s Vestry, you will also encounter five bells arranged in a semicircle around round floor plates.
In front of the puzzle, there is a checkpoint that is important if you enter the order of the bells wrong. You should reset at the checkpoint and try again from the start.
This is how you solve the puzzle: Hints for solving the bell puzzle can be found scattered throughout the dungeon. Notes in the area indicate the correct order. However, they do not reveal the direct solution, so a bit of trial and error is still in order.
If you cannot come up with the right answer, you should remember this order: 5-4-3-3-4-1-2-3-2-1.
This is your reward: If you have correctly shot the order with your weapon, the ground in the middle will open up and reveal a treasure: the Plunderer’s Cube, with which you find 25% more scrap metal in the world.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 had a rough launch: a rigorous loot box system spoiled the fun for many players. A tough time for the developers as well, said design director Dennis Brännvall. However, Battlefront 2 is now doing so well that the team no longer has to fear showing themselves online.
This is why Battlefront 2 struggled: Star Wars Battlefront 2 drew the ire of some players during the beta phase. Crafting materials and star cards, the so-called Star Cards, which allow characters to equip various, usually stronger abilities, came from loot boxes. The boxes could be earned in-game but also purchased with real money.
The game sparked a controversy and ignited a debate about the popular surprise packages in many games.
The months following launch were probably my darkest time at DICE. It was tough, and the mood in the community and the player base probably crashed around that time.
The game has now changed, so much so that the developers no longer fear going online and showing themselves to the community.
This also had positive effects on the number of players in the shooter. Since the update, the player count has been steadily rising every month. “It’s really going well, and it’s growing and thriving,” said Brännvall.
The developers continue to work on Battlefront 2, releasing patches and updates regularly:
This is what players say: The mood on the Star Wars Battlefront subreddit seems to have improved noticeably. Many players share images or small clips of their escapades in Battlefront 2.
However, there is currently increased criticism of hit detection and hitboxes. Hits would not be consistent, and even shots fired directly at the opponent would also only be vaguely registered.
In Pokémon Go there are new raid bosses! The new bosses in September 2019 are themed around the event “Johto Journey”. Here you will find a complete overview and the best counters.
These are the new bosses: In raids, you will encounter mainly Pokémon from this region – especially monsters from the second generation, appropriate to the event “Johto Journey” which started yesterday. The event runs until September 9 and primarily gives you the opportunity to get rare Icognito forms from eggs.
Raid bosses of the 2nd generation in September 2019
In the raids, you will encounter Johto Pokémon such as Wiesor, Sonnkern, Sniebel, or Donphan. In Tier 5, you will meet the legendary dog trio consisting of Raikou, Entei, and Suicune.
At the lower raid levels, you can also face some Alola forms. With many monsters, you also have the chance for Shinys – just like in the current field researches. We show you all bosses and how you can counter them best.
All new raid bosses in Pokémon Go in September 2019
These bosses you can fight: Here you see all bosses at a glance. All bosses marked with an asterisk* can be encountered in their shiny form!
You should be able to defeat the raid bosses at level 1 without major problems. Therefore, no counter recommendation is necessary here. At level 1, you can face Wiesor, Sonnkern, Kramurx, Snubbull, and Hunduster. You can encounter all these Pokémon in their shiny form.
The current raid bosses at level 2 / Tier 2
Even at level 2, you shouldn’t encounter too many problems. Here you will face Alola Kokowei, Tannza, Skorgla, Sniebel, and Flunkifer. You can also catch these Pokémon in their shiny form.
The current raid bosses at level 3 / Tier 3 – with counters
Alola Raichu*: Alola Raichu is an Electric and Psychic type. With the following counters, you should be able to defeat it easily:
Mewtwo with Psychoklinge and Spukball
Despotar with Biss and Knirscher
Gengar with Dunkelklaue and Spukball
Pottrott*: Pottrott has the types Rock and Bug, so you can effectively attack it with Water, Rock, and Steel attacks:
Metagross with Patronenhieb and Sternenhieb
Rameidon with Katapult and Steinhagel
Kyogre with Kaskade and Hydropumpe
Panzaeron: The bird Pokémon Panzaeron is a Steel and Flying type, making it susceptible to Fire and Electric type attacks:
Lavados with Feuerwirbel and Hitzekoller
Elevoltek with Donnerschock and Stromstoß
Raikou with Donnerschock and Stromstoß
Donphan: Donphan is a classic Ground Pokémon and therefore has problems with Water and Ice attacks. You can also try it with Grass Pokémon:
Kyogre with Kaskade and Hydropumpe
Kingler with Blubber and Krabbhammer
Mamutel with Pulverschnee and Lawine
Keifel: Keifelis an Ice and Ground type monster. It has multiple weaknesses, but with these counters, you will do best:
Metagross with Patronenhieb and Sternenhieb
Kyogre with Kaskade and Hydropumpe
Kingler with Blubber and Krabbhammer
The current raid bosses at level 4 / Tier 4 – with counters
Absol*: Absol is a Dark type Pokémon, so you can hit it hard with Fighting-type attacks. It also reacts poorly to Bug and Fairy attacks:
Machomei with Konter and Wuchtschlag
Kapilz with Konter and Wuchtschlag
Hariyama with Konter and Wuchtschlag
Alola Knogga*: Alola Knogga is a Fire and Ghost type and has issues against the following counters:
Rameidon with Katapult and Steinhagel
Kyogre with Kaskade and Hydropumpe
Kingler with Blubber and Krabbhammer
Despotar: Despotar is a popular attacker of the Rock and Dark type. Especially with Fighting attacks, you can easily take it down:
Machomei with Konter and Wuchtschlag
Hariyama with Konter and Wuchtschlag
Kapilz with Konter and Wuchtschlag
Ursaring: As a Normal type Pokémon, Ursaring is primarily countered by Fighting attacks. Therefore, we recommend the following counters:
Machomei with Konter and Wuchtschlag
Hariyama with Konter and Wuchtschlag
Kapilz with Konter and Wuchtschlag
The current raid bosses at level 5 / Tier 5 – with counters
Raikou*: Raikou is an extremely good Electric attacker but has issues with Ground Pokémon. So try the following counters:
Groudon with Lehmschuss and Erdbeben
Knakrack with Lehmschuss and Erdbeben
Rihornior with Lehmschelle and Erdbeben
Entei*: The legendary Pokémon is a Fire type – and thus not a fan of Water, Rock, and Ground attacks. Try the following counters:
Suicune*: Suicune serves as the Water Pokémon counterpart to Entei and Raikou. It is particularly susceptible to Electric attacks. Attack it with the following counters:
Deoxys(Attack Form in EX-Raids): This extraterrestrial Pokémon is a Psychic type. Therefore, you can attack it effectively with Bug, Ghost, and Dark-type attacks. We recommend these counters:
Gengar with Dunkelklaue and Spukball
Giratina (Altered Form) with Dunkelklaue and Spukball
Mewtwo with Psychoklinge and Spukball
With these counters, you should be able to quickly complete most raids. One player claims to do up to 50 raids a day:
Being shot by a good player in a fast shooter like Apex Legends can be quite frustrating. However, if you observe some tricks from the pros, you might soon be on the other end of the gun.
What kind of clip is this? Apex pro Brandon “Ace” Winn displayed some pretty impressive scenes in his stream, and did it all without cheats. In one of them, he takes down an entire enemy team.
While his good aim certainly plays a role, especially his use of the environment and his anticipation of what the opponent will do are crucial. You can see him dodging enemies multiple times to heal himself and then taking them out one by one.

The clip starts with him taking out an opponent. To avoid becoming a victim himself, he then escapes over a wall and a gas cloud that obscures the view, onto a rooftop to recharge his shields. At that moment, one of his own teammates is finally killed.
He uses this knowledge to kill the enemy standing there now. Since he assumes that the remaining Caustic will do the same, he retreats and seeks cover under fire.
However, he soon leaves the cover again to confuse the opponent with several wall jumps. As Caustic feels confident from the previous hits, he rushes forward and falls right into Ace’s trap, who likely anticipated that he would pursue him.
These tricks you can learn from the pro
This is how you use this knowledge: Everything that can be seen in the clip are things that you can also acquire. Some of them don’t even require much practice, but rather experience. Especially predicting the opponent’s movement becomes instinctive with frequent play.
The abilities of Wraith help in spotting enemies or escaping from them.
The movements may look complicated, but they are actually quite easy. If you know how to utilize the environment, you can also perform such acrobatic tricks. You should check out our tips for better movement in Apex Legends.
High accuracy is ultimately what many players probably lack and what can even impress pros. However, it can be trained or compensated for. In this situation, shotguns could have also secured the victory and require somewhat less practice in aiming.
Do you want to test your skills a bit? Especially with shotguns, this now becomes easier, as a new event mode brings only sniper rifles and shotguns to the canyon:

The weapon is a pistol with a speaker and Walkman. With the push of a button, you probably start the cassette and play music.
This German streamer is known for Fortnite and is currently quite successful:
A small quest series in the Shadowbringers expansion of Final Fantasy XIV has received an astounding amount of attention from fans. The star of it was a small companion.
It is no secret that popular quests and items of FFXIV players are often associated with a lot of nonsense, such as the Hildibrand quests or the mount Fat Cat. Another object of player attention is “The Great Serpent of Ronka.”
What are the quests about? Actually, the quests about the Great Serpent of Ronka, which is of highest sanctity, are just a small series of side quests in the Shadowbringers addon.
Honor the Great Serpent of Ronka! (Image by Meoni on Youtube)
Players encounter the NPC Valan and his minimally insane-looking friend Quinfort. He constantly talks about visions of a catastrophe and the Great Serpent of Ronka, which has been protecting the Rak’Tika forest for centuries.
She is supposed to descend from the heavens to ward off great calamity.
Unfortunately, the Great Serpent turned out to be a small, chubby worm whose only means of communication are the sound “Screee!” and biting.
Yet Quinfort remains steadfast in his belief in the Great Serpent, holy protector of Rak’Tika. Thus begins a quest series that quickly became one of the favorites in Shadowbringers.
How players react: The somewhat absurd story of the quest series has been well-received by FFXIV players. Fans enjoyed the laid-back and humorous storytelling, which stood in stark contrast to the very serious narrative of Shadowbringers.
One of the many memes created in honor of the Great Serpent of Ronka. By @ArtThouBored on Twitter.
A cult quickly formed around the Great Serpent of Ronka, whose sanctity eclipses the sun. Players did what people on the internet can often do best: they created countless memes and fan art.
Especially with fan art, players have been particularly creative. There are of the Great Serpent of Ronka, whose voice makes the earth tremble, namely:
Drawings
Buttons and pins
Handmade plush toys
T-shirts and clothing
Discord emotes
Mini statues
Here are some examples of the honors to the Great Serpent, the scourge of evil:
By @xshylily on Twitter
By theawkgiraffe on Tumblr
By helia on Teepublic
By @CrystAAHHl on Twitter
By @BemusedBehemoth on Twitter
By pervasivescariness on Tumblr
How the quest came to be: There was a risk that the FFXIV players might never experience this quest series. In an interview with the colleagues from Gamer Escape, scenario writer Natsuko Ishikawa explained:
It was a small side project of one person from the scenario team. […] One of our new employees had this idea and pitched it multiple times. They worked on various drafts after the proposal was repeatedly rejected. […]
But the employee remained steadfast and in the end, the quest series made it into Shadowbringers.
Your own Serpent of Ronka
How to get the companion: If you want the Great Serpent of Ronka to accompany you on your adventures, you must complete two short quest series.
The first begins with the Aether source quest “The Guardian of the Forest” from NPC Valan in Rak’Tika (X: 20.9 / Y: 27.8). Most of you will have already completed it because it is necessary for flying. The follow-up quest can be found here:
Name: The Descent of the Serpent
NPC: Quinfort
Location: Rak’Tika (X: 11 / Y: 26)
Honor the Great Serpent of Ronka! By @Irish_Rager on Twipu
The second quest series starts with the quest “All Doubled” from Lanille in Rak’Tika (X: 31.3 / Y: 16.9). This quest is also necessary for flying. The follow-up quest is as follows:
Name: Different Intentions
NPC: Lanille
Location: Rak’Tika (X: 31.3 / Y: 16.9)
Once both quest series are completed, you will gain access to the final quest that grants you the companion.
Name: Under the Protection of Two Clans
NPC: Phyna
Location: Rak’Tika (X: 30.7 / Y: 20.2)
In this sense: May the Great Serpent of Ronka protect you!

Today we present to you the 10 MMORPGs with the most active players on Steam. These are the most popular online role-playing games in late summer 2019.
The list is based on player numbers from Steamcharts. We have ranked them based on the most players in the past 30 days (as of September 3, 2019).
We made sure to select games that are considered “MMORPGs” in the strictest sense.
What to keep in mind about the list: This only concerns the numbers on Steam. How many players the MMORPGs have on other clients or platforms does not matter for this list.
What is AION? The MMORPG AION transports you to the fantasy world of Atreia, where the races Balaur, Elyos, Asmodier, and Reian reign. Only the Elyos and Asmodier are playable. You create your hero from 6 classes and several specializations. Thus, you explore the world, where plenty of quests await you.
AION distinguishes itself from other online role-playing games through flying. Starting at level 10, your character receives wings and can thus glide through the air. This allows you to access areas otherwise unreachable.
In addition to quests and group play, PvP is important. You can fight each other in the Abyss, an area composed of floating islands. The ability to fly is crucial and defining for AION.
How many players does AION have on Steam: AION averaged 396 concurrent players over the past 30 days. At peak times, there were 2,984 players.
This is what players think: AION is not only fun because of the flying. It offers a lot of content and good group play. However, more and more Pay2Win accusations are coming up. Some players believe that the developers pay more attention to the item shop than to the actual game.
PsychoDing explains on Steam: “In my opinion, AION is a very good and beautiful game. Even though it was released in 2008, a lot of effort and work is still put into this game. You can play it wonderfully alone and even better together with other players.”
Letthalii writes: “I played it when it originally came out through NCSoft and it was so much fun due to the unique aspects. Now it is evolving more and more into a Pay2Win chaos…”
This is what MeinMMO says about AION: AION is quite a few years old, but it has a loyal community and continues to receive updates. If you want to experience classic MMORPG fare with some cool twists (flying), you are in the right place.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
In WoW Classic there is a wave of discontent against Twitch streamer Asmongold. He is a fervent supporter of WoW Classic – but players criticize that he plays Classic incorrectly and is exploiting his privileges as a streamer too much.
Who is it about? The streamer Asmongold is a self-proclaimed WoW nerd who has been playing the MMORPG since 2006. He has advocated for years that Blizzard should release WoW Classic.
He has become a prominent figure on Twitch in the past year, from a “niche streamer” known only in the WoW community.
Asmongold too weak to play WoW Classic “correctly”
This is the accusation: On reddit currently the thread “Asmongold failed classic WoW” is a big deal. It has over 16,000 upvotes. Asmongold is accused of several things there:
He plays too “efficiently”: skipping quests that don’t provide loot, running Scarlet Monastery to level up
He is too much “ego” and exploits his chat: begging for items and money, grabbing every item that drops
and he is generally grumpy and demanding – like in this clip where he gets upset about PvP

The Redditor says that Asmongold has been advocating for a “WoW like it used to be” for years, only to behave now just like in regular World of Warcraft.
He is not strong enough to enjoy WoW Classic without begging for money and items.
In this clip, you can see how Asmongold gets money handed to him:

What’s behind this: One can understand the accusations: Asmongold plays WoW Classic differently than a private person would – and perhaps also differently from how he envisioned it when he called for WoW Classic. But one can also understand Asmongold’s difficult position:
In another clip, he says he feels unfairly treated. He is trying to build a community here and is attacked by people who do nothing but see themselves as “guardians” of WoW Classic.
In Fortnite the well-known electric trap from the first season comes back into the game with today’s update 10.20. However, it is supposed to appear in an improved version.
What is the Zapper trap? The Zapper is an electric trap that can presumably be placed on walls, floors, and ceilings. It is intended to give opponents a shock.
Fortnite has already announced the trap with the words: Danger: HIGH VOLTAGE. Shock them with a trap!
The trap is supposed to give the opponent a shock when they walk into it. However, they have not yet revealed how it works exactly.
What do we already know about the new trap? The Zapper trap existed in Season 1, but it could only be placed on roofs and was very loud.
Now the trap is supposed to return improved. According to a leak from FortTory, the trap will be available in epic rarity, and the maximum stack size is 4. So, one could completely box in an opponent with traps, if desired. The amount of damage the trap actually causes is not known yet.

What do the players think about it? Since many players still remember the roof Zapper trap from Season 1, many wonder how this new trap will function. They are discussing this on Reddit and Twitter:
Many hope that it won’t be as loud as the first one, as it could be heard from a distance.

Others wonder if it will be a mix between the first shock trap and the poison arrow trap, meaning the shock will cause minor damage over several seconds.
Some players can hardly wait to try the trap, but are worried it could be too powerful.
What do you think? Will you be the shockers or will you be shocked?

Especially the 96-rated card is fantastic and better in all individual stats than the other two. Shooting, passing and dribbling stand out, but the other stats are also solid. This makes Zidane a CAM who can improve many ultimate teams.
Why does Zidane have three cards? Icons have multiple variants in FUT. This applies not only to Zidane but also to all other icons. These cards are meant to reflect different phases in the careers of former professionals. In the upper image, you can see which phases the respective cards represent (Zidane’s top card represents the years 1996-98).
Who is Zidane anyway? The Frenchman was regarded as one of the most talented players of all time and was named FIFA World Player of the Year three times before he ended his active playing career in 2006 and is now achieving great success as a coach.
Ratings of all 14 new icons in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team
The values of the remaining new icons in FUT 20: EA Sports not only released the video of Zidane but also updated the official FIFA 20 website, where the ratings of all other new icons can be seen.
Ian Wright: The Englishman scored heaps of goals for Crystal Palace and Arsenal in the 80s and 90s. At Arsenal, he became the top scorer and helped the club win the FA Cup and other titles. After Henry, he is the second most successful Arsenal goalscorer. He is considered a club icon. His best card has a rating of 89. Pace and shooting are excellent:
Ronald Koeman: The Dutchman was a libero with an impressive number of goals. With PSV Eindhoven and later with FC Barcelona, he won several championships and other titles. As a center-back, Koeman has powerful shooting stats (88), and his defending and passing are outstanding. His best overall rating is 91:
Carlos Alberto: The Brazilian was regarded as a technically gifted defender, known for his skills and defensive attributes. In 1970, he led Brazil to the World Cup title as captain. He played for 14 years in Brazil – at Fluminense and Santos. Later, he went to New York Cosmos, where he won several championships alongside Pele: His pace is excellent, and defensively and physically, he is top. His best overall rating stands at a strong 93.

Destiny 2 has already announced that there will be some sandbox changes with Shadowkeep. The first of these have now been discovered at the PAX West fair – specifically in PvP. These nerfs and buffs are already known.
Where does the info come from? At the PAX West game fair, interested parties can play a new build of Destiny 2 and thus get their first impressions of some upcoming Shadowkeep features and content – such as new exotic weapons or the raid gear.
The PvP can also be played in this context. And there, the well-known Twitch streamer and PvP expert tripleWRECK noticed that some changes are already active in the Crucible. He shared his findings via Twitter with the community.
Buffs and Nerfs for Supers – What’s New in PvP at PAX
What’s the deal with the changes? Some time ago, Bungie hinted that they might want to nerf the so-called roaming Supers – at least regarding the resilience of Guardians during an active Super. Additionally, they hinted at improvements for some subclasses such as the Nightstalker Hunter.
What exactly did trippleWRECK notice? It is here that tripleWRECK has been able to observe significant changes:
The Nightstalker’s Shadowshot can now down enemies with just one shot
The resilience/health of roaming Supers like the Striker Titan’s Fist of Havoc or the Warlock’s Dawnblade has been reduced
High-impact sniper rifles (90 RPM) could take out Striker Titans and Dawnblade Warlocks with just one headshot during an active Super
The Warlock’s Glide builds up speed continuously now, instead of instantly launching the Warlock into the air at full speed. However, the top speed is still maintained once reached
What do the Guardians say about these changes? The changes have mostly been well received by fans on Reddit. After about 10 hours, the corresponding Reddit post has over 3,000 upvotes. Some of these changes have been requested by Guardians for quite some time.
Especially the Nightstalker Hunters are pleased that they can take out an enemy Guardian in the Crucible with just one shot from their Super for the first time since Destiny 1.
Also, the fact that roaming Supers, which are longer-lasting Supers, are being adjusted in their resilience is well received. Currently, Guardians in an active roaming Super can take a tremendous amount of damage and cannot be effectively countered. Good players can take out entire teams during the duration of their Super – some enemy players even multiple times before the Super ends or they can finally be taken out.
Guardians are also discussing whether it’s only the nerf of the roaming Supers that is responsible for snipers becoming more effective against them, or if there possibly has been a buff for sniper rifles at the same time. Most believe it is rather due to the nerf.
What do you think about these changes? And what adjustments would you like to see regarding the sandbox for Shadowkeep?
The Twitch streamer IWillDominate wanted to play the MOBA League of Legends for 24 hours. However, he was banned by Riot Games after 17 hours. He reacted by simply giving up. Later he said it was an experiment. The ban sparks a discussion about account buying.
This was the plan: The player Christian “IWillDominate” Rivera wanted to stream League of Legends for 24 hours live on Twitch: a marathon stream.
“I give up, I just give up”
This was the ban from LoL: In the middle of the stream, after 17 hours, IWillDominate had just finished a match and was back in the selection screen when he saw the message that his LoL account had been banned by Riot Games. He could no longer play LoL.

The Team Liquid streamer then reacted dejectedly. At the time, he was visibly tired, IWillDominate was hanging in the ropes. He only said: “I give up, I just give up.”
The clip has now over 300,000 views.
The streamer wanted to see if Riot Games actually cares
What was he banned for? IWillDominate played the 24-hour stream with a “bought account” that was already level 30. With it, he could play ranked right away.
This is against the rules of LoL, which prohibit account trading.

However, IWillDominate says that most content creators would create an account and then pay others to level it to 30, as hardly anyone has the time to level an account.
According to him, the account purchase was an experiment to find out if Riot even cares when people violate the rules.
IWillDominate complained that Riot Games does nothing against trolls who sabotage him in his games by feeding or intentionally committing suicide.

Here is the background: IWillDominate recently had a confrontation with one of the founders of Riot Games on Twitter. He provoked Marc “Tryndamere” Merrill with a comment that “bad people” work at his company. He was likely alluding to the sexism debate at Riot Games.
Merrill then replied that IWillDominate’s career is based on the free game they made. Merrill later deleted the tweet.
Why buy level 30 accounts in LoL? It’s about ranking. If you use your own account, you play in a certain, probably high league in ranked LoL – if you have a “new account fresh to 30”, you go against beginners in ranked.
Why is this interesting for many? On reddit, people are actively discussing the incident. It has several layers:
on one hand, some suspect that LoL has a grudge against him after the confrontation with Marc Merrill
on the other hand, Riot Games’ behavior regarding “account purchases” seems arbitrary – some LoL accounts get banned quickly, others later or not at all
some also demand that Riot Games should sell level 30 boosts and thus put an end to the black market – it is common for players to buy “fresh level 30” accounts to start over in ranked
Besides IWillDominate, another well-known LoL player, TF Blade has also been caught. This Twitch streamer was also banned by Riot recently, though for a different reason:
In just a few days, Rockstar will release a major update for the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2, Red Dead Online. It includes the roles of Bounty Hunter, Trader, and Collector.
When is the update coming? The major update for Red Dead Online is scheduled for September 10, 2019, for the upcoming Tuesday. Weeks ago, the team announced this patch and promoted the new roles system for cowboys.
What content is included in the major update? The three new roles of Bounty Hunter, Trader, and Collector are intended to give players many more opportunities to engage in the frontier. You will experience activities and be rewarded with unique items, abilities, and more.
Additionally, according to Rockstar Games, there will be improvements to the control system. Players should be able to control their characters faster and more directly: in combat and also in movement.
Moreover, you can change your character’s appearance through the update without losing your progress.
Those who play defensively will receive more damage reduction. Additionally, there will be new ability cards, more daily challenges, role challenges, dynamic events in the frontier, new items, and more.

Emerging
Aspiring
Established
Recognized
After completing role activities, you will earn what’s called role XP. This will help you level up. For reaching a rank in a role, you receive a badge, sometimes even new abilities. With each new level, you will gain access to equipment items specifically for the role. These items can be purchased with badges.
What can be unlocked? As a Trader, you can unlock a stew pot in Red Dead Online, which supplies the camp with food and replenishes the cores of you or your crew. The Bounty Hunter can unlock a prison wagon to transport prisoners.
