With Gauss comes the fastest character yet in the MMO shooter Warframe. Many players are excited about him, but they also express concerns.
Who is Gauss? Gauss is a new Warframe being introduced with the next update. He is set to become the fastest character in the game. His gameplay is designed around speed.
Passive – When Gauss is always moving, he generates an electrical charge that fills up his speed gauge. This causes his shields to recharge up to 80% faster and his recharge delay to be reduced by up to 80%
Mach Rush – With Hyper Sprint, Gauss rolls over his enemies and charges his battery. Additionally, he creates a strong shockwave
Kinetic Plating – You generate armor that converts a portion of absorbed kinetic damage into energy. This protects Gauss from being knocked down
Thermal Sunder – Drains kinetic energy from the area to charge your battery and inflict cold status on enemies. If you hold the action, the effect reverses
Redline – If you overload Gauss’s battery, his abilities charge up especially strong. This boosts the fire rate, attack speed, reload speed, and holster speed

What is special about Gauss? Until now, Volt was considered the fastest Warframe. But Gauss is set to dethrone the previous champion. You have never moved this fast in the game.
What do players think about Gauss? Warframe fans are very curious about how fast Gauss really is and how he can be utilized.
What concerns are there? Gauss’s high speed could, according to some players, mean that he can only be effectively used in the open-world areas. In the smaller and tighter levels, his speed might be interrupted frequently.
Moreover, Volt was already extremely fast. One can increase his speed to such an extent that he becomes nearly uncontrollable. This raises the question of how this will be with Gauss.
Others believe that Gauss is not meant to replace Volt, but rather allows for a unique, individual playstyle.
When is Gauss coming? The update is set to arrive either today or on Friday. Then you can see for yourself how Gauss plays.
The Update Brings Even More
What else does the update bring? The update includes even more than just Gauss:
New weapons and customization options will be introduced
The Harrow Reliquary Collection comes to the game
You can share your loadouts with other players
You will play the new disruption missions, which offer you further challenges and rewards
A player has created a tool for themselves in Fallout 76 that allows them to find everything there is to do in the game more quickly. They have now released it for the community and are praised by everyone for it.
What kind of map is this? The player and developer Jaret Burkett has created an interactive map for Fallout 76 that shows everything a player might search for. This includes:
Locations of Chems
Resources
Blueprints and plans
Terminals
Weapons and much more.
Various filters can be set.
The map can be found at map76.com. Under the name undefined7161, the developer published their project on reddit and has accumulated over 2,100 upvotes within a short time.
The great community is “responsible” for the map
That’s why Burkett created the map: Burkett revealed in an interview with Kotaku that he created the map because he is an explorer himself. As such, he sometimes simply needs help finding certain things.
Many things, such as certain motives that need to be photographed with the new ProSnap Deluxe camera, are hardly found in a normal way where one would “stumble upon” them. So he used his skills as a developer.
A look at the map.
For the map, he extracted the game files and retrieved all important points through data mining. He finally packed them into an interactive map for himself, as he needed it “to keep having fun,” as he says. Now the tool is also available for all players.
This is the background to his enthusiasm: The map is a kind of small thank you from Burkett to the great community of Fallout 76. He says that without the great community, he probably would have stopped playing:
I played all day, for a week, and was constantly on guard, worried that people would attack me. But that didn’t happen.
Everyone I came across was extremely friendly, made me armor, gave me tips, and even helped me level up. I found a lot of really good friends in the game. They keep me playing.
Beneath the map is also criticism: From Burkett’s perspective, such projects are what keep Fallout 76 alive. However, he does not believe that this is what Bethesda envisions under player engagement.
This is also a form of engagement: Some players build clever death traps.
He senses a drift towards PvP from the developers with new modes like Survival Mode or Nuclear Winter. Players like him, explorers, treasure hunters, and now also many merchants, are, in his experience, the majority.
The community is friendly and has no desire to kill you. I don’t think Bethesda understands that. The latest updates are trying to move away from this aspect. More and more content cannot be shared. Increasingly more PvP modes.
What do you think of the map? Do you use it to find special places? Maybe you come across something particularly quirky:
A few things in WoW Classic bring Cortyn nostalgic tears of joy. Do you also have such moments that you are rediscovering?
For almost two days now, World of Warcraft Classic has been live, and I have – at least for the moment – lost myself in it completely. I enjoy the old game world, the friendly community, and the unhurried chaos in Azeroth, which is not always fair but mostly fun. I have noticed that I often have to smile or grin. This is mainly due to three situations that happen to me over and over again.
The buffing by other players
It is actually such a small and almost insignificant act, yet it makes me smile every time. When I am sitting on the ground with my mage and regenerating mana (which makes up about 50% of my playtime), it often happens that other players walk by and give me a buff. Whether it’s Power Word: Fortitude from a priest, Thorns from a druid, or even a Blessing of Wisdom from a paladin.
I then always panically turn the camera around and try to follow the person to quickly give them Arcane Intellect in return.
But the effects are gigantic. If I have 600 HP instead of 450 HP at level 20, it often makes the difference between life and death.
Just like that, I hope that the additional 100 mana points also help priests, paladins, and druids to overcome a slightly more challenging task.
I simply can’t help but feel happy every time I receive a buff. And it only works because the world is so daunting and quite tedious while leveling. In current WoW, it would be unthinkable. A new buff in the open world would probably not even catch my attention.
So many Allimania jokes
No matter which channel you look into, there is a joke about a gnome named “Dimitri” or an elf you call Uschi every few minutes. Terms like “Arthas Honecker” come up, or druids are asked to cook for the group. Even in Discord with my friends, we keep making jokes about Horst, Panski, or Kel’Thuzad, who has crashed his necropolis somewhere again. These are all references from the Allimania storyline.
If you don’t know Allimania yet: It is an old WoW audio play that started as a parody for World of Warcraft and poked fun at typical incidents and clichés in Azeroth. The audio play has received over 20 episodes and several spin-offs and is definitely an enrichment for every “Classic” newbie. Many of the jokes are timeless (and sometimes also timelessly silly), but often refer to mechanics that only existed in WoW Classic. You can download the Allimania episodes here.
Aside from the 20 old episodes, there is also a reboot that coincides with the launch of WoW Classic. You can listen to the first episode of “Allimania Classic” here (but you should listen to the earlier parts first):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvW4MfTHzmU
After that, you should also understand all the jokes in the general channel that currently only make you raise your eyebrows.
Personally, I associate the jokes not only with the audio play itself but also with a part of my youth. Back then, staying up “secretly” at night to listen live to the latest episode of Allimania was always a highlight. This may not have directly helped with my Latin exams the next day, but what was a good grade in Latin compared to the knowledge of what Arthas and Illidan discuss in couple therapy?
The last point is damn selfish, but I can’t help but grin with satisfaction here as well. I immensely enjoy seeing my gold balance slowly grow and discovering various “tricks” on how to earn a few coins.
There are many little things: For example, I find a nice white dagger by killing enemies and rejoice over the 4 silver pieces that come back to my account. Or I stand in Goldshire and sell my excess linen bags for a small price.
In the auction house, the goblins are already crying.
A quest that had me running across the whole area rewarded me with a coin pouch containing almost 50 silver at the end.
Now I am currently in the process of crafting a whole bunch of “Greater Magic Wands”. They cost me almost nothing as an enchanter but sell for a hefty 25 silver in the auction house. And if they can no longer be sold, the NPC vendor still takes them for a proud 15 silver.
A true gold mine. On a small scale.
To have nearly 7 gold “saved up” already at level 20 may not be a record, but I am very satisfied with it.
Little details that make me happy: All these points are things that I no longer experience in “Retail WoW”. Sure, I still experience other things that I enjoy. But these three little points have made me damn happy and motivated to keep playing over the last two days. Even if I have to sit back down on the ground and regenerate again.
Do you also have such moments? What do you particularly enjoy?
It won’t be long before Gears 5 is released for Xbox One and PC. To get fans in the mood before the release on September 10, the developers showcase the multiplayer maps available for the various modes at launch.
How many maps are available? Gears 5 launches on September 10 with the multiplayer modes Versus, Horde, and the co-op mode Escape. Eleven maps will be available across the various game modes at the launch of the shooter.
While Versus and Horde share the same maps, Escape gets four unique maps referred to as “Hive-Style”.
More maps are expected to follow after launch. Additionally, players can build their own maps for the Escape mode with the map builder and share them with their teammates.
What makes the maps special? All maps in the multiplayer mode of Gears 5 are differently structured and thus suited for various play styles. The map Asylum has spots in the middle that are good for intense close and hidden long-range combat. A bridge towers above the action, providing snipers with a clear view, but they can also be quickly spotted themselves.
The map Exhibit takes place in an old museum where players fight around the exhibits. This is good for “mind games,” where you make your opponents believe that you are going to jump out from around the next corner at any moment. Long corridors over two floors allow for fights on multiple levels.
The Escape mode, where you face a horde of enemies in groups of three, has its own unique maps.
On the map District, you play in a dark part of the city
What about eSports? The Gears 5 developers are preparing the title for eSports and are bringing back five maps from Gears 4:
Dam
Forge Blitz (is called Forge in Gears 5)
Foundation
Harbor
Reclaimed
However, these maps will not be available in any matchmaking playlist, but only in Private Play. These maps are identical to their counterparts from Gears 4 but utilize the graphical enhancements from Gears 5.
After a testing phase of the “Role Queue” in Overwatch there is now finally a start date for the feature. It will be introduced in a few days.
For quite some time, the developers of Overwatch have been working to improve the gameplay experience for players. To ensure that everyone can truly play what they want to play, the Role Queue is being introduced. It has been tested for several weeks and will soon be applied to the game modes of Overwatch. We have all the details.
What is the Role Queue? In Overwatch, you will have to select which role you want to fill before entering a game. If you want to play as a Tank, you must indicate this beforehand. This means you will only be able to play Tank heroes in the next match. You are bound to your role. This type of sign-up will be active in both major modes, namely in Ranked play as well as in Quick Play.

When exactly does the Role Queue start? Blizzard wants to ensure a smooth transition, which is why the official launch of the Role Queue in both game modes will begin at staggered times. The Role Queue will be made mandatory for the game modes at the following dates:
Ranked play: September 1st at 2:00 AM
Quick Play: September 3rd at 8:00 PM
Alongside the release of role selection in Quick Match, a new game mode will also be available in the “Arcade” mode, namely “Quick Play Classic”. Here, everyone can choose a role of their choice and play freely as before.
Why is the Role Queue being introduced? Many fans have long wished for this feature. It aims to eliminate the frustration of feeling “forced” into a role. Many players, out of a sense of obligation, choose a Tank because all other roles are already taken, even though they have no desire to play a Tank. The Role Queue ensures that everyone can always play what they want.
Longer waiting times expected: The downside is that damage dealers or offensive heroes (DDs) will likely have to wait longer for a group. It’s advisable to register alongside Tanks and Healers.
What do you think of the Role Queue in Overwatch? Is it a good thing or does it ruin Overwatch?
When will there finally be information about microtransactions in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare? Infinity Ward has now revealed when they will address one of the biggest concerns of fans.
What are the concerns about? Among the biggest worries and question marks of many players regarding Modern Warfare 2019 are the microtransactions – or rather the current state of information. Details about them are currently scarce. The ongoing silence is viewed by the community as worrying and a bad sign.
The game offers, in the eyes of fans, quite a number of possibilities for so-called MTX – for example with skins for the operators. And it is practically certain that these will come. However, there is still no official information about them, neither in terms of form nor scope or cost.
Players therefore do not know what to expect, and that is exactly what is causing many fans headaches, especially in light of the widely criticized microtransaction policy in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and other predecessors. Fans would like to know in advance what they are getting into when purchasing the latest installment of the series.
In a Reddit post, some users therefore urged the developers at Infinity Ward to address the microtransactions in Modern Warfare 2019 and finally provide clarity.
When do the developers want to talk about it? In response to this request, Infinity Ward has now reacted and answered in the relevant thread on Reddit.
Ashton Williams, the Senior Communication Manager at Infinity Ward, said: “Please be patient. We hear you. We will share more with you as the launch approaches.”
It seems that the developers want to talk about the microtransactions before the release of the title. This news has pleased some fans, as many users did not expect that the developers would even address and respond to this issue.
What is the problem with microtransactions in Call of Duty? The microtransaction policy in the latest installments of the series, especially in Black Ops 4, is criticized by many fans as aggressive and almost omnipresent. For example, Black Ops 4, as a full-priced title, has more microtransactions than many free-to-play titles despite having a paid season pass.
What concerns many fans, especially regarding the ongoing silence about the MTX of Modern Warfare, is: The complete extent of the microtransactions in Black Ops 4 was also hardly communicated and only became clear after release and the reviews. Moreover, the system has gradually been expanded over time. Many players fear that this will also happen with the reboot of Modern Warfare and therefore demand corresponding information from the developers.
It remains to be seen whether the concerns of the fans can be addressed with the promised information prior to the launch.
Do you want to try Modern Warfare yourself before release? Did you miss the Alpha of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare or couldn’t participate due to platform limitations? Then you still have the opportunity to form your own first impression of Modern Warfare 2019 before the release on October 25 – in the form of a beta in September.
On the official website, The Elder Scrolls Online has updated its plans for performance improvement. Now there are specific details for Update 24, which are intended to enhance the gameplay experience.
What are the plans for Update 24? For the upcoming patch, ESO plans adjustments to improve the performance of the MMORPG. There was already a first announcement in July, which has now been expanded with more details.
The focus of Update 24 is on memory management, the combat system, and a redesign of group finders.
In addition to this announcement, the overview of upcoming updates in 2020 has also been updated.
When will Update 24 be released? Currently, Update 24 is in internal testing. According to the developers, everything is on schedule.
At PAX West, the first players will get a glimpse of Dragonhold and the new patch before the public test servers.
What changes are being made to ESO’s memory management? The developers are planning fundamental changes to how memory is utilized in ESO.
This is expected to lead to increased stability and thus fewer crashes. This should be particularly noticeable on base models of consoles.
Smaller performance improvements for all players are also possible.
What changes are being made to the combat system? Update 24 is set to bring initial changes to the combat system, which will also be expanded in upcoming patches.
The differences in performance are not expected to be significant at this point, but in the long run, the changes should reduce server load. This particularly benefits fights in large groups.
What changes are being made to the group finder? The queue tool for dungeons and battlegrounds will be completely rewritten.
This is intended to make the tool more reliable and faster, even under heavy load.
2020 Will Continue Performance Improvements
What does ESO plan for the future? In 2020, Updates 25 and 26 are expected to bring further improvements to performance. The following contents will be the focus:
Redesign of the patch systems
Faster loading for environments and characters
Combat improvements Part 2
Frame rate improvements
“Cold Storage” for account database
In addition to performance, Elder Scrolls Online will also expand its content. Dragonhold, the DLC for the fourth quarter of 2019, will bring the southern part of Elsweyr into the game and culminate the story around the dragons.
ESO is one of the best story MMORPGs for us. But other games have also made it into the top 6:
The dark world of Warhammer will soon be experienced again in an MMORPG – as a Free2Play mobile game.First images look promising.
What is Warhammer Odyssey? The city of Marienburg in the Old World is overrun by monsters. You set out as a mercenary to push back the enemies together with your friends.
Together, you fight your way through several areas, where even boss enemies await you. The game focuses on PvE. However, the developers also have plans regarding PvP. They will talk about that at a later time.
What classes are there? You create your hero from six classes:
High Elf Archmage
High Elf Shadow Warrior
Human Witch Hunter
Human Warrior Priest
Dwarf Slayer
Dwarf Engineer
Each class has unique abilities that you must master and use tactically. These include:
Lightning-fast attacks and debuffs of the Witch Hunter
Battle spells and healing of the Archmage
How do you find groups? To team up with other players and defeat enemies together, you have the option to form a so-called Mercenary Company. This is probably a kind of guild. Exact information will follow.
What areas do you explore? At the start, several locations will be available to you, which fans of Warhammer might recognize. These include
the city of Marienburg
the Drakwald Forest
the Wasteland
What about autoplay? Many mobile MMORPGs offer autoplay for convenience. Battles then play out automatically, or you can have quests completed automatically.
This will not be the case with Warhammer Odyssey. The developers want their game to play very similarly to an MMORPG on PC.
Regular content is planned
What about new content? The developers promise to regularly release content in the form of additional story episodes. These will introduce more areas, new enemies, bosses and more.
During your adventures, you should even encounter well-known characters from the Warhammer world.
For which platforms will the game be released? The MMORPG Warhammer Odyssey is planned for release on Android and iOS devices.
When will the MMORPG be released? There is currently no release date yet.
What does the MMORPG cost? It is set to be released as a Free2Play game. However, the team has not yet discussed the monetization plans.
It looks quite good
How does the game look? The screenshots shown in the article give you an insight into the mobile game, which looks quite interesting for a mobile game.
Here’s how you can register now: If you want to be informed about news as well as the start of a beta and the launch, you can register on the official website.
To do this, you specify whether you own an Android or an iOS device and provide your email address. If there are news, you will receive a notification.
How do players react? Many are already looking forward to the game, as it is finally another MMORPG in the Warhammer universe. It also seems that the fact that it is a mobile game is not a major point of criticism.
There are still many questions regarding the game that the developers want to answer over time.
In FIFA 20, the first new league has been announced. The Romanian Liga 1 is considered officially confirmed. We list all teams from this league.
This is the new league in FIFA 20: Recently, a photo surfaced on reddit showing a press conference by EA where the Romanian league was to be introduced as a new league in FIFA 20. Just a few hours later, official graphics followed, clearly showing the Romanian Liga 1:
On reddit, a video has now even been shared that introduces the Romanian league, thus confirming it as the first new league in FIFA 20:

The Teams of the Romanian League in FIFA 20 – 1st new license
These are the teams you can play: Liga 1 is the top league in Romanian football. It includes 14 teams:
Academica Clinceni
Astra Giurgiu
Botoșani
CFR Cluj
Chindia Târgoviște
Dinamo București
FCSB
Gaz Metan Mediaș
Hermannstadt
Politehnica Iași
Sepsi Sfântu Gheorghe
Universitatea Craiova
Viitorul Constanța
Voluntari
All other leagues in FIFA 20 can be found in this overview, which we continuously update:
It is not yet known if more new leagues will be added to FIFA 20. This may be the only new league license. If more are announced, you will find out promptly on MeinMMO.
There probably won’t be many face scans of players from the Romanian league – Jadon Sancho, however, looks realistic.
League is among the fan favorites in voting
Which league voting is it about? The fifplay website initiated a survey on which leagues fans want most for FIFA 20. So far, nearly 4.2 million players have voted with the following results:
UAE League (top division of the United Arab Emirates) – 7%
Finnish League – 7%
Romanian Liga 1 – 6%
The Romanian league is therefore in the top 3 most desired leagues, followed by the fully licensed Brazilian league with 5% of all votes.
Which leagues would you like to see in FIFA 20? What licenses should EA Sports aim for?
While only one new league is known so far, EA Sports has already secured several new stadium licenses for FIFA 20 – including 13 new Bundesliga arenas:
Shinies in the wild: Most players have probably caught some Shinies in the wild. The chance for this is low, as it is 1 in 450. Shinies are therefore definitely among the rarer Pokémon.
Regional Pokémon: Some Pokémon are only available in specific regions of the world. So you may have to travel quite a distance if you want to have all regional Pokémon . We show you all Regionals:
Pokémon with 100% IV: If you have Pokémon with 100% IV, then you can consider yourself lucky, as they are quite rare in some cases. The chance of catching a Pokémon with these IV in the wild is 1 in 4096, if it is not weather-boosted.
Shiny event Pokémon: Normal Shinies are already rare, but some Shinies are only available for a few days, which makes them even rarer. This includes, for example, special hat Pikachu or Eevee with flower crown.
These Pokémon are only available for 2 days or less and it takes quite a bit of luck to get such an event Pokémon.
Shiny Pokémon from eggs: Some Pokémon can only be obtained from eggs and if they are Shiny, then the chance is not very high. Alolan Pokémon and baby Pokémon are available in eggs and the chance of a Shiny is about 1 in 40-50.
That doesn’t sound like too few, but you first have to hatch 40 potential Shiny candidates. That can take some time.
Rare egg Pokémon: If new Pokémon are released and they are also good, they are usually found in 10 km eggs. The same goes for Riolu and Kaumalat. While Riolu is becoming somewhat more common, Kaumalat is almost never found in eggs.
Kaumalat can also be found in the wild, but it is also rare here. Presumably, such Pokémon will also be released in future generations, and the hunt for them remains difficult. One can only hope that these Pokémon will become more common over time through events. Until then, they belong to the rarest Pokémon in the game.
Some Shinies are still missing in Pokémon GO. We will show them to you:
Guild Wars 2 has increased the cooking profession to level 500 with a new patch. This comes with new buff food, which will give you greater advantages in battles. In this guide, we present you with the best selection.
What is new? Until August 27, 2019, cooks could only level up to 400. At this level, buff food could be crafted, which was particularly useful in raids, fractals, and World vs World.
Throughout the guide, we will introduce you to the individual steps on how to level up cooking and unlock the recipes for the buff food. Afterwards, we will reveal which buff food is the best.
[toc]
Step 1 – Raise Cooking to 500
To even think about the new buff food, you should get your cooking to level 500. We will tell you how to do that as quickly as possible.
Cooking Level 400-440
First, focus on levels 400 to 440. The best way to do this is to craft a cup of lightly roasted coffee. You will need:
1× bag of coffee beans
2× pieces of charcoal
1× grinding stone
2× jug of water
You can obtain the recipe for the dish from heart traders in Path of Fire. Alternatively, nearly all old 400 recipes can be used to advance the cooking profession.
At level 440, you will craft a chef’s tasting plate. You will need:
1× bowl of curry butternut squash soup
1× bowl of truffle risotto
1× plate of steak and asparagus dinner
To complete the last steps to level 450, it is easiest to create dragonite bars and bloodstone bricks. You will need these in the upcoming collection.
Cooking 450-500
For the last steps, you should complete the Gourmet Training collection. You activate it by bringing the chef’s tasting plate to Chef Seimur, who awaits you in your home instance from Cooking Level 425 onward.
The collection itself contains five task series, each oriented around one of the playable races. So you need to
7× tasks for Norn
7× tasks for Sylvari
7× tasks for Charr
7× tasks for Humans
7× tasks for Asura.
The first three tasks are different dishes that you have to craft next to the cooking NPC in the capitals. Tasks 4, 5, and 6 always differ slightly, and for task 7, you usually just have to return to the cooking NPC.
Overall, the collection is very simple, but not entirely cheap. You will need among other things:
5× Deldrimor steel bars
5× dragonite bars
5× ghostwood planks
1× Elonian leather patch
3× heat stone
10× bloodstone bricks
20 gold for various recipes
The great advantage of the collection is that each completion of a race series gives you 10 levels for the cooking profession as a reward. This way, you can level directly from 450 to 500.
On the website Guildnews.de, for which the author also writes, you can find a detailed guide to the collection.
Step 2 – Crafting Intermediate Ingredients
Before you can craft the new buff food, you will need some intermediate food items that are required for the new recipes.
You will need cultivated herbs, which you can only grow in your home instance or buy at the trading post. Additionally, these intermediate recipes require level 450 in cooking.
You will not need every one of these ingredients right away, but it is good to know how to craft them.
Glass of Hollandaise Sauce
– 1× egg – 1× piece of butter – 1× lemon – 1× package of salt
Bottle of Simple Syrup
– 1× bag of sugar – 1× jug of water
Glass of Mint Parsley Sauce
– 1× cultivated mint leaf – 1× parsley leaf – 1× jug of vegetable oil
– 1× egg – 1× glass of hollandaise sauce – 1× piece of cured meat – 1× flatbread
Step 3 – Crafting the Buff Food
The new chef at level 500 now allows you to craft nearly 50 new food items. On the Guild Wars subreddit, you can find an overview of all recipes.
However, since we do not want to introduce all these recipes, we will directly tell you what the best buff food is.
The Best Buff Food for Berserker Classes
For berserker classes, the buff food “Plate of Chicken in Red Wine Sauce with Salsa” is recommended. You will need:
2× pieces of poultry
1× glass of salsa side
1× bottle of vintner’s wine
1× clove of garlic
It grants you the following stats:
+100 power
+70 precision
66% chance to drain life on critical hit
+ karma, experience points, magical detection, gold detection, and WXP
In general, all chicken in red wine sauce grants power and precision. If you only change the glass of salsa side, only the third bonus with life drain changes.
The Best Buff Food for Condition Classes
For condition classes, the pickled pepper meat flatbread is recommended. You will need:
1× flatbread
2× pieces of pickled meat
1× cultivated peppercorn
The buff food grants you:
+100 condition damage
+70 expertise
-10% damage taken
+ karma, experience points, magical detection, gold detection, and WXP
In general, all pickled meat flatbreads grant condition damage and expertise. If you only change the cultivated peppercorn, only the third bonus with damage taken changes.
If you are a Battlefield 5 player confused by roadmap changes and missed or postponed deadlines for content and features, you are not alone. The developers are affected by it too. What is going on?
This is what it is about: In a post on the discussion platform Reddit, a user inquired about content promised by the official roadmap for the current Chapter 4, which is still pending. Specifically, it was about new vehicles and gadgets. The fan referred to this statement:
What is the confusion about? Subsequently, Battlefield Community Manager Jeff Braddock commented in the thread. He had raised the question with the developers, and they responded with the words: “What are you talking about?”
When he showed them the corresponding image, they said: “That’s wrong. The next big influx of vehicles and gadgets will come with the Pacific (in the next chapter).”
What was the reason? Braddock also spoke about the reason for the confusion. The community manager added: “This is not the current roadmap. But let’s be honest. Even our ‘current’ roadmap is not accurate at this point anymore.” He referred to the latest version of the roadmap – even though some points have already been missed.
The old excerpt still promises the vehicles and gadgets, but these are no longer on the current roadmap. However, it seems that many players have not noticed this. And that causes frustration not only among the fans.
This is what the developers say: The developers themselves are also annoyed by this circumstance. Braddock reports about his conversation with the responsible developer: “He is frustrated by the inaccuracy of the specific chapter roadmap and takes it to his bosses and studio management. And I am bringing it to the marketing team to find out why this information even existed.”
Because the article with which the old roadmap was published did not mention vehicles and gadgets at all, but only about weapons and elites. There is apparently not really clarity within the studio about when which content should come, which ultimately contributed to the whole confusion.
What does this mean for the players? To clarify possible confusion – specifically, this means: You can expect the new weapons and gadgets in the autumn – with Chapter 5, which will bring the Pacific scenario into the game. They will not be released as part of Chapter 4.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, the developers recently made changes to Turbo Building. However, players didn’t like them at all and they have now been reverted. What’s next?
This was the problem: On August 27, Fortnite changed Turbo Building in Battle Royale mode. Turbo Building is used by players who hold down the mouse button to build. In order to give players with lower ping less of an advantage, the developers increased the time needed between building consecutive structures.
Many pros and players reacted negatively to these changes because they had to completely change their playstyle.
What is new now? On August 28, Fortnite announced that they would revisit these changes. In a blog post, they state that the changes from August 27 have been reverted, and the ability to build “90s and Waterfalls” has been restored.
The specific changes are:
Turbo Building delays on consecutive building placements reverted to 0.05 seconds instead of 0.15 seconds
After a building piece is destroyed, there is a delay of 0.15 seconds before a new building piece can be placed at that location.
If two players try to replace a building piece at the same location simultaneously, randomness decides which player will place the piece. This is intended to ensure that player ping is less significant in these situations.
Why did Fortnite have to act? Many players were unhappy with the changes from August 27. The hashtag #RevertTurboBuilding trended on Twitter. In other social networks like Reddit, many players voiced their opposition to the changes because they could no longer build 90s as usual.
What does the community say about the new changes? On Reddit, players seem to be satisfied with the changes. “Perfect fix. Doesn’t affect regular building but nerfs turtle and defensive building. Thanks,” writes flapjack626.
In response, a player said, “Yes, exactly! This small update made the game better now than it was before all this. Epic brought this bad Turbo Building nerf with good intentions. And after listening to the community, they reverted it AND improved the game. […]

Moreover, it is often stated that after the new mechs and their nerfs and now the Turbo Building changes, there should be some peace this season. Such major changes are not easy for players to digest.
“Okay, can you chill for the rest of the season now? The last few weeks have been a hell of an emotional roller coaster. Let’s please catch our breath and enjoy the game now. Also: Thanks,” writes Aldosarii on Reddit.
In Destiny 2, the community will launch Season 8 – the season of the Undying. This is expected to unfold similarly to the curse in the Dreaming City.
Note: Light spoilers ahead.
This is Season 8: Currently, Season 7 is ongoing, which ends with the launch of Shadowkeep in early October and makes way for the next season: The season of the Undying.
When does Season 8 start? Officially, Season 8 will start on October 1, 2019, together with Shadowkeep – because this is also when Season 7 ends.
However, the season of the Undying is expected to begin only a few days after the Shadowkeep release, as
originally, October 5 was indicated as the starting date for Season 8. This date was mentioned in the video description of the Season 8 trailer but has now been changed to October 1.
and according to new information from Project Lead Scott Taylor and Bungie’s DeeJ, Season 8 will not simply start on October 1.
Here are the new details about Season 8: As the YouTuber xhoundishx has learned from several gamescom interviews, Season 8 will build on the events of Shadowkeep.
Scott Taylor reveals that Season 8 will be a logical progression of the story in Shadowkeep. There will be events in Shadowkeep that will greatly anger the Vex, and then they will react. What happens in Season 8 is therefore directly related to the events in Shadowkeep.
DeeJ adds an exciting piece of information: “The community will start the season of the Undying, similar to how the curse in the Dreaming City was unleashed with the completion of the ‘Last Wish’ raid.”
What does this mean? Presumably, Season 8 will be connected to the new Shadowkeep raid. Because this is expected to open on October 5 – the day that was originally indicated as the start date for Season 8.
Additionally, this would parallel the curse in the Dreaming City, which was also tied to a raid.
Furthermore, the story trailer for Season 8 mentions that the Vex will do everything to protect the Black Garden – where the new raid “Garden of Salvation” takes place. Thus, the Vex will probably only come when the action goes to the Garden starting from October 5.
According to a leak before gamescom, which has since proven to be incorrect, there is supposed to be an enemy named “Typhon” in Shadowkeep that intrudes into the Black Garden to resurrect the Heart. The Guardians must prevent him from doing so – and the Vex probably dislike this as well.
Whether this leak will be confirmed remains to be seen. But something will happen in Shadowkeep that initiates the Vex invasion, and this is most likely related to the Black Garden.
Blizzard has made a change to the realms of World of Warcraft Classic. They now accommodate more players than before.
Since World of Warcraft Classic was released two days ago, the rush to the numerous realms simply won’t subside. There are still long queues, causing some players to simply give up in frustration and not even get to play. After Blizzard has alreadyopened several new realms, they took the next step last night. The servers can now accommodate more players.
What has Blizzard changed? A hotfix last night ensured that all realms can now accommodate “significantly more players”. The number of players that can be logged in on a realm simultaneously has been increased. According to Blizzard, this is expected to improve the queues on all realms. Realms with long queues should now have shorter queues, while realms with short queues ideally should have no waiting time at all.

Whether this has been successful will likely be revealed for Europe this afternoon when the “prime time” in World of Warcraft begins.
Are there any negative sides? Yes. Some players report experiencing minor lags and delays in gameplay coinciding with the increase in capacity. However, these reports have been rare and seem to occur only in very crowded areas. For most players, there seemed to be no noticeable change.
Concerns about layering: Another concern is about layering. If Blizzard continues to increase the number of players on a server, it will become increasingly difficult to abolish the layers within a certain timeframe. As long as “too many” players are active in specific areas, the layering will likely persist. If the overall population never decreases to a “healthy level”, it will be more challenging to remove the layers without issues. Here, players are seeking an answer from Blizzard.
What is your opinion on this? Do you think it’s good that Blizzard has increased the number of players per realm? Or should there rather be more realms?
The Twitch streamer Turner “Tfue” Tenney has a problem with the new location, Pandora, in the shooter Fortnite. In his comments about the location in a Twitch clip, he counts about 19 words or phrases that are generally not said in public.
So it used to be: Tfue calls the area “Westworld,” after a popular TV series. He says, the location used to be ideal for him, because he is the very best in Fortnite and all others can’t do anything.
In the past, Tfue could land at this location and see from a distance on which roof a shotgun was lying. He would have grabbed that shotgun and been successful.
But now the place has become a rift zone and has been fundamentally changed – and the new Borderlands 3 version does not suit the Twitch star at all.
A piece of Borderlands in Fortnite.
New location Pandora in Fortnite requires luck instead of skill
This is how it is now: Now it is, says Tfue, that you can no longer see loot spawning on the ground. Therefore, you have to go into a building and trust in luck.
And even if Tfue is otherwise the greatest in Fortnite, he has no luck. Therefore, he comes out of the building with a revolver while other players defeat him with better weapons.
Players with soccer skins are considered “tryhards” in Fortnite, who really want to know and play particularly aggressively.
In this context, Tfue gets annoyed most of all about players with “soccer skins” who have “YT” or “TV” in their name, a sign that they are streaming themselves on YouTube or Twitch.
This is what makes the clip special: The number of swear words and vivid descriptions is astonishingly high. Apparently, the topic really moves Tfue.

With the change came a change in graphics: The location now has the cel-shader graphics that made Borderlands famous. The event runs until September 10.
Many find the event really good – apparently not Tfue.
In Pokémon GO the Raid Hour with Mesprit starts now. We provide you with an overview of the time, counters for Mesprit, and the usefulness of the monster.
What happens now: Almost every Wednesday, a Raid Hour takes place in Pokémon GO. As part of the Water Festival, the 3 legendary Pokémon from the lake trio return today. However, for us in Europe, only Mesprit will be available.
To be as prepared as possible for the hour, we provide you with an overview of all the important things.
Raid Hour with Mesprit – All Information
When does it start? The Raid Hour starts today at 6 PM. It lasts exactly 60 minutes, and most raids end at 7 PM.
What happens during the hour? Every gym that is not currently hosting an EX Raid or already has a raid will receive a legendary raid egg at 5:40 PM. This will hatch at 6 PM, and you can battle Mesprit for one hour.
How do I counter Mesprit? The Pokémon is Psychic-type and therefore has weaknesses to Ghost, Dark, and Bug. The best counters are:
Default Form of Giratina with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball
Gengar with Shadow Claw/Sludge Bomb and Shadow Ball
Mewtwo with Psycho Cut and Shadow Ball
Snivy with Feint and Leech Life
If you’re looking for more counters, check this out:
How many players are needed for this? Mesprit can be taken down relatively easily by three players. If you use strong counters, you shouldn’t have any problems in a trio.
What CP does Mesprit require? If you’re hunting for a 100% IV Mesprit, you should look for 1747 CP. With weather bonus, meaning during windy conditions, Mesprit can reach 2184 CP. This would be a perfect specimen.
Is Mesprit worth it? The legendary Pokémon is not among the best attackers. It’s an alternative that is fine, but it can’t compare to Mewtwo by any means.
The exotic hand cannon Sunshot is finally getting buffed in Destiny 2. Bungie initially announced in its own forum that changes would be made to the weapon with Shadowkeep, later confirmed on Twitter that the Sunshot will receive more rounds in its magazine. A joyous day for the community, which celebrates the announcement in its own wicked way.
What kind of buff is this?In the Bungie forum, community manager dmg04 announced that the team is working on some quality-of-life changes that will come with the upcoming expansion Shadowkeep. To the players’ delight, these changes will also affect the popular hand cannon Sunshot and its magazine size.
While dmg did not specify what changes would be made to the weapon’s magazine, the second community manager Cozmo confirmed on Twitter that the Sunshot, whose explosive ability was already enhanced last May, is set to receive more rounds in its magazine.

How are players reacting? For the players, this is a celebration, as they have long desired such a change. However, instead of rejoicing, the Guardians on the Destiny Reddit prefer to celebrate the announcement with wicked jokes and funny suggestions on how Bungie might buff the Sunshot:
Instead of a buff, Bungie will simply reduce the magazine size from eight rounds to four rounds
The magazine size will be reduced to just one round. The damage and explosion radius will be increased eightfold. Additionally, friendly fire will be activated with Sunshot.
The Sunshot will simply explode when the trigger is pulled
The magazine will be reduced to 0. Instead of shooting, players will now throw the weapon. It will function similarly to the solar Titan’s hammer melee.
The magazine size will finally be increased! However, only from the current eight to nine rounds.
The Sunshot will be buffed, but fusion rifles will be nerfed.
Why is the Sunshot such a topic? In the Destiny Reddit, the discussion around the Sunshot has become somewhat of a running gag. Players repeatedly create posts to remind others of the hand cannon, and time and time again they are disappointed.
Whenever Bungie announces buffs for any weapons, players hope that the solar weapon will be among them. That it is finally happening now is something that most Guardians can hardly believe.
The way to reach level cap in WoW Classic can be laborious and take a long time. We will share some tips and tricks to help you progress faster.
What are these tips and for whom are they suitable? In our guide, we want to present ten tips that will help you reach level 60 in WoW Classic more easily. The goal is to reach level 60 as quickly and without compromises as possible.
Accordingly, these tips are suitable for players who really want to progress quickly, for example, to enter higher-level dungeons or engage in high-level PvP.
However, those who want to focus on professions will need to make some compromises.
[toc]
Speed Leveling Tip 1: Choose the Right Realm
This is why the choice is important: By now, there are dozens of realms for WoW Classic in English, German, and other languages. These realms have different population densities and characteristics, such as RP (Roleplay), PvE, or PvP.
To progress faster, your realm should not be so full that you are constantly stuck in long queues, but also not so empty that you cannot complete group quests or dungeons.
Which realms are recommended? We recommend that you settle on a PvE server. Here you will not be constantly killed by the opposing faction and you will get closer to level 60 faster.
If you start on a full server, you might have to wait in a queue.
Since four new German Classic servers have opened, a new PvE realm is also accessible: Lakeshire. There are still relatively few players here, but enough to progress properly. Therefore, we recommend starting on Lakeshire.
Speed Leveling Tip 2: Change Zones Early
Why should I change? Zones meant for lower-level players are generally more crowded than those for higher levels. That’s just the nature of the game since everyone starts out small, but some grow stronger faster than others.
This tip is especially important at the start: Change your starting area and the early zones as soon as possible. You may experience difficulties completing quests or getting kills counted in starting areas because it’s too crowded.
Starting areas fill up quickly.
If you quickly change the zone, such as to Westfall, Darkshore, the Barrens, or Silverpine Forest, you can avoid the high density and continue working on higher quests at ease. Another advantage is that higher-level enemies generally reward you with more XP and better loot.
Speed Leveling Tip 3: Play Solo
This is why solo play is worth it: This tip may sound controversial because kills go faster in groups. However, you also don’t receive the full XP for a kill in a group. Experience points are divided among the group members.
Accordingly, you receive significantly more XP when you kill foes solo. However, there are also compromises. Depending on the class you play and the classes of your group members, it can be beneficial to team up with up to two other players.
Even though the screenshot is from Legion: Going solo is usually faster.
Up to a group of three players, you should receive about as much experience in the same time as you would alone – depending on how many enemies you can fight and kill simultaneously. Generally, we advise: If you are unsure, play solo.
Speed Leveling Tip 4: Kill More Enemies Than Required for a Quest
This is how worthwhile kills are: The experience points from killing enemies constitute a significant, if not the largest part of your accumulated XP in Classic. Therefore, it is essential to maximize XP gains from kills.
This can easily be integrated with questing. If you are on your way to a quest, into a new area, or simply heading back to town, kill the mobs you encounter along the way.
By doing this, you secure not only additional experience but also potentially rare items that provide you with a small boost or fill your wallet. You will need gold and silver in abundance while leveling.
Speed Leveling Tip 5: Ignore Professions
This is why ignoring makes sense: Professions, especially crafting professions, consume a lot of time and require considerable effort to level up. This can amount to many hours during the leveling phase where you can neither kill enemies nor gain XP in other ways.
In Classic, crafting items takes significantly longer and cannot be sped up by enchantments on gloves as it currently can in Battle for Azeroth. For this reason, you should ignore them for the time being.
The same applies to gathering professions. Gathering items takes longer, may require multiple attempts, and can fail. So you may spend several seconds on just one flower instead of killing two wolves.
Don’t I need the professions? In principle, professions are also important. However, there are several reasons why you should ignore them while leveling:
You can “catch up” on them at level 60
Most items can be bought from other crafters – just grind and buy what you need
While leveling, you often gain little advantage from carrying crafted items for a long time
However, for those who want to craft great things at level 60 immediately and want to complete some crafting quests along the way, they must be aware that professions will take up a significant portion of leveling time and slow them down.
Speed Leveling Tip 6: Plan Your Dungeon Runs Properly
How do I plan correctly? Dungeons can provide you with a large chunk of experience if you conquer them. However, they also take a lot of time. Therefore, you should ensure to gather all available dungeon quests first, so you can complete them in just one run.
Plan your dungeon runs so that you begin as soon as all quests are logged. Ideally, do not interrupt your leveling route to search for group members. Assemble the group first and then head to the dungeon. This saves you waiting time.
Here’s what to watch out for: Some things are particularly important to consider during dungeon runs.
First: Preparation. You should enter with enough water, food, and possibly ammunition, as refilling along the way will be challenging and time-consuming.
Second: Do not enter a dungeon if your gear or level is insufficient. You will only take longer and may not even reach the end. It’s better to be a bit stronger and get through together faster than to be “carried.”
Third: Stay with the group if it went well. If you and your colleagues moved through the dungeon quickly and smoothly, feel free to run through it again. This saves time searching for a group and traveling, and allows you to grab loot that will help you for a few levels.
Speed Leveling Tip 7: Organize Your Bags
This is why it’s important: Bag space in WoW Classic is generally much more limited than in BfA, especially for your first character. Therefore, you should always consider what you need and what you don’t.
Only collect what you need or what is valuable, and leave everything else behind in case of emergency or consume it quickly. This will save you the time spent standing still and rummaging through your bags when you need to carry quest items.
How do I organize my bags? It is important, for example, to simply discard individual items if you are not farming a specific type of enemy that would allow you to stack those items.
Organized bags.
Gray items can be valuable, especially in bulk, but clutter the inventory when they are singular. You should always keep some slots free in case you find something important. Additionally, addons like Vendor Price can help you organize your bags.
Speed Leveling Tip 8: Plan Your Return to the City
Why do I need to go back to the city? Visits to a larger city are unavoidable while leveling in Classic. Here, you restock on supplies, sell excess items, or learn new skills.
To avoid returning constantly, you can plan ahead when a return is worthwhile.
When should I return? Make preemptive considerations for your return. Some important points are:
Am I changing the area anyway? Then a stopover is possible.
Do I have the flight point? Then the return trip is less troublesome.
Are there new spells that I urgently need? Then I should see my trainer.
Are my bags full or do I need something from the auction house? Then I can combine that.
The capitals are marked with castles.
If you combine some of these points, you should be able to keep visits as short as possible. Also, plan how much gold and silver you need for new skills so that you can immediately learn everything required.
Speed Leveling Tip 9: The Choice of the “Right” Classes and Races
Of course, the most important thing is to play what you enjoy. But if you want to be particularly fast, you may need to tweak your character choice or at least play with different talents than you ultimately want later. The race-class combination can also be significant.
These classes and races are worthwhile: Among races, there are significant differences, especially at the start of the game. Start areas of certain races are simply more crowded. If you play less popular races like Undead or Night Elves, you can progress faster at the beginning.
When it comes to classes, pure damage classes are usually faster alone than others and have some advantages:
Rogues can sneak through areas when they only need certain things.
Mages can eliminate many enemies at once with Blizzard and Frost Nova.
Warlocks and Hunters have a personal tank accompanying them.
Classes like Priests and Paladins are usually a bit weaker alone and therefore take longer to level.
Speed Leveling Tip 10: Save!
Why should I save? Gold is a very important factor for fast leveling in WoW Classic and significantly more important than in the retail version. You primarily need gold while leveling for three things:
Mounts
Food (and ammunition)
Skills
If you keep an eye on how much gold you need for what, you will not risk unnecessarily grinding. It’s best to keep as much gold on hand as you need for your next visit to the city.
This is how to handle your gold properly: Again, planning helps you the most. Save your gold for the things you really need to progress faster, such as for your first mount. If you buy this right at level 40, traveling afterwards will be much faster.
You should also choose your skills wisely. Only buy those that you desperately need and save the gold otherwise. The same goes for equipment. At the auction house, you might find bargains, but often it’s not worth spending gold on a new weapon.
You will frequently find better weapons a few levels later or obtain them through quests or dungeons. The time saved by the stronger weapon will then be wasted by having to farm gold to buy the next skill.
If you want to progress even better, here are some more tricks for the game:
The “World First Race” in WoW Classic is in full swing, but there are some issues. Above all, the queues distort everything. However, this does not deter the pros.
For years, the race for the First Kills in “normal” WoW has been a major part of the game and a motivation for many players to watch Twitch streams of the pros. This is also the case in World of Warcraft Classic. The race for the “World First” title is on again.
Why do the pros do it? There are many reasons for this. On one hand, the current pros from Method and other guilds are quite eager to play WoW Classic and want to enjoy the old version again. On the other hand, the release of WoW Classic fits perfectly into the timeline of “normal” World of Warcraft.
A lot of hurdles: However, this “race” for the World First Kill is even more unfair than it already is in Retail. This is mainly due to the exorbitantly long queues that even the professional players have to deal with.
Anyone who has to sit in the queue for 10 or more hours loses valuable time in which other players level ahead of him, making it hard to catch up. By the way, you can watch the stream from Method here:

How far are the pros? Most players from the professional guilds are currently in a level range of 25-35. While they are progressing quickly, they are falling behind some streamers and players who could start right from the beginning. For some hours now, the first players are already reaching level 40.
What is the goal anyway? The goal initially stated was to reach level 60 and clear the Molten Core, the first “real” raid of WoW Classic, completely within the first week. Whether this will succeed will surely become clear in the next few days.
It should be noted that the Molten Core itself is not a particularly complex raid and requires hardly any good equipment. Back then, players had to learn coordination, teamwork, and class understanding. In the Molten Core, the biggest hurdle is to get 40 players to level 60 into the dungeon. Equipment is rather a secondary matter and only becomes really relevant in later raids. However, these other raids will only come in later phases.
Great interest in the stream: It’s also interesting that the stream has garnered relatively high interest. Already by noon, there were consistently 17,000 people watching the stream, who were viewing the rather “boring” leveling race. After all, not much is happening for a while, since it must be leveled in dungeons and through quests.
Are you following the “World First Race” in WoW Classic? Or do you avoid such things because you prefer to enjoy Classic at your own pace?
