The Pokémon GO Festival in Japan is in full swing, along with the global challenge. This time it is especially important that you complete the challenge.
What kind of challenge is this? You need to complete many field researches during the period of the GO Fest to succeed in the challenge.
If you have completed the challenge, there will be Stardust bonuses for all players worldwide. These are particularly important, so you need to push harder this time.
The global challenge with Blanche
How is it currently looking? Niantic regularly posts updates on the global challenge on Twitter. Currently, it looks like this:

About half of the required field researches have already been completed. This is remarkable since there is still time until Sunday. If we keep pushing like this, the goal will be achieved quickly.
The bonus is so important: Of all 3 global challenges, the challenge with Blanche is the most important. After all, this is where the most important resource in the game is: Stardust.
If all teams have mastered their challenge, there will be triple Stardust for almost all actions. It will be available from August 13 for a whole week. You can quickly replenish your Stardust supply.
Why is Stardust so good? With Stardust, you can strengthen your Pokémon. It’s of no use to have a lot of experience points if you have weak Pokémon.
A good team only comes through Stardust. That’s why it’s so important that you collect a lot of Stardust.
What does this mean for the players? The current status of the challenge looks good. But you should keep the bonus in mind and push harder. Only then can we reach the desired goal in the end.
The field researches can currently be completed very well, as there are also new quests available for the GO Fest. They are easy to solve and should be completed quickly.
Currently, there are also many rumors about the leader of Team Rocket:
Fortnite: Battle Royale now has hundreds of skins and outfits. However, while some appear repeatedly in the shop, others have hardly appeared and are therefore rare. Here you see the 10 rarest skins (including the rarest skin) with images.
This is how we selected: In our list of the rarest skins from Fortnite, we focused only on skins from the shop. Because each skin from a past Battle Pass is unique and no longer available once the respective season ends. Thus, it would be clear that the last skin from the Season 1 shop is the rarest.
To ensure more variety, we only show skins from the shop. We have also omitted recurring “event skins” such as the Halloween-themed skins, Oktoberfest, Christmas, or Chinese New Year.
These skins seem to return to the shop every year and lose their rarity at the latest upon their second appearance.
The 10 rarest skins from the Fortnite item shop
We have listed the following skins in the order they last appeared. We start with the “youngest” skin and work our way to the oldest and therefore rarest skin.
These are the real “OG” skins that only true Fortnite veterans have, as they have not been in the shop for a long time. For the release dates, we primarily referred to the database of the ProGameGuides site.
How can you get the skins? The skins presented here may eventually be available again in the shop. Otherwise, there is no legal way to obtain them.
Rank 10 – Bandolier
What kind of skin is this? Bandolier is an epic skin that shows a dark-skinned guy with a bare chest, headband, sunglasses, and bandolier. The latter is also the meaning of his name. He looks like a typical action hero from the 80s.
Bandolier (Epic)
When was he last available? Bandolier was originally introduced during Season 4 on May 27, 2018. His last appearance was on December 12, 2018.
Rank 9 – Sky Stalker
What kind of skin is this? This is a legendary skin. The Sky Stalker looks a bit like a character from Team Fortress. He wears a gas mask and a trench coat, which gives him a cool retro military look.
Sky Stalker (Legendary)
When was he last available? This cool skin first came out during Season 4 on June 22, 2018. However, his last appearance in the shop was on December 7, 2018.
Rank 8 – Moisty Merman
What kind of skin is this? This legendary skin is tied to an area that no longer exists: Moisty Mire, the boring swamp that was found in the southeast before Season 5. Moisty Merman is a type of swamp monster costume that likely relates to the filming of the movies that were the theme of Season 4.
Moisty Merman (Legendary)
When was he last available? Moisty Merman was introduced on May 24, 2018, and was last seen on December 5, 2018.
Rank 7 – Far Out Man
What kind of skin is this? This epic skin is quite a curiosity. Because you play as a quirky hippie with long hair and colorful clothes adorned with psychedelic patterns. The hippie does not fit at all with the wild action of a Battle Royale, and that makes him so cool.
Far Out Man (Epic)
When was he last available? The hippie came to the shop on September 2, 2018. There was a return on November 27, 2018.
Rank 6 – Diecast
What kind of skin is this? This is a rare skin that depicts a steel android. He belongs to the minions of the villain Omega from Season 4.
Diecast (Rare)
When was he last available? Diecast was introduced to the shop on May 11, 2018. He was last seen on November 20, 2018.
Rank 5 – Funk Ops
What kind of skin is this? This cool epic skin is a real classic! It depicts a dark-skinned man with a glitter shirt and afro, who seems to have come straight from a disco in the 70s.
Funk Ops (Epic)
When was he last available? Funk Ops has been around for a long time. His first appearance was on December 31, 2017. However, you could still buy him on November 8, 2018.
Rank 4 – Bunnymoon
What kind of skin is this? No one really knows what this skin is supposed to be. It’s a bizarre mix of various costumes, including a bunny mask and Christmas lights. Bunnymoon is an unusual skin.
Bunnymoon (Unusual)
When was he last available? Bunnymoon first appeared in the shop on October 27, 2018. There was a brief return on November 1, 2018.
Rank 3 – Midnight Ops
What kind of skin is this? This rare skin depicts a cool cyborg warrior. He has a sort of mohawk hairstyle and a mechanical arm.
Midnight Ops (Rare)
When was he last available? The first appearance of Midnight Ops was on March 30, 2018. However, he was last available on October 24, 2018.
Rank 2 – Ghoul Trooper
What kind of skin is this? This epic skin is part of a holiday set but was not part of the last Halloween event. Therefore, the skin is really super rare now. Ghoul Trooper is essentially just a Ramirez wearing zombie makeup.
Ghoul Trooper (Epic – Halloween)
When was he last available? In fact, the Ghoul Trooper could only be bought once, namely in Fall 2017. It first appeared on October 26, 2017, and its last appearance was on November 28, 2017. Since then it has never appeared in the shop again. So if Epic brings back the Ghoul Trooper for Halloween 2019, it would be a little sensation.
Rank 1 – Recon Expert – The rarest skin
What kind of skin is this? This rare skin is nothing special. It simply shows a dark-skinned woman with a hat and gray clothes.
Recon Expert (Rare)
When was he last available? This skin is extremely rare because it was last available almost 2 years ago, on November 12, 2017. The first appearance was a bit earlier, on October 30, 2017. Thus, the Recon Expert is the rarest skin that could still be regularly available in the shop.
On the PTR of World of Warcraft , players can now earn the bee mounts. However, it will take a very long time before you can ride the bee.
Since the launch of Battle for Azeroth, players have hoped to eventually get a bee as a mount in World of Warcraft. With Patch 8.2.5 , this dream will finally come true – at least for Alliance players. They can earn a bee and zoom around Azeroth.
But whoever wants the bee will need endurance, as currently you have to collect 6,000 items to receive a bee.
In WoW, you must be as diligent as the bee
Where can you find the bee? The bee can be earned in the Stormsong Valley. There, as an Alliance player, you have dealt with bees in the past and helped some workers escape their predicament. With Patch 8.2.5, you will meet a new NPC, Barry.
Barry takes care of the bees and has only a standard dialogue for most players. To talk to him, you need the battle pet “Hummelbummel,” which is already available for the achievement “Fleet Bee.” If you have Hummelbummel with you, Barry will speak with you.
Barry the Beekeeper. Image source: wowhead
Barry reveals that there is a “new bee colony in town” and wants to get on good terms with these bees. To appease the broodmother, we bring her some jelly – but the appeasement fails, and Barry has to intervene with his “bee skills.” After that, the broodmother is neutral towards us and acts as a vendor.
What needs to be done for the bee? To increase your reputation with the bee mother, there is only one way: you need to collect jelly, which can be found all over Stormsong Valley. Many places have honeycombs that can contain the jelly. You can then redeem this jelly at the broodmother and receive 7 reputation points with the new faction each time. This translates to 42,000 reputation points (from neutral to revered), which means you need to collect 6,000 jelly!
And that is only if you don’t want to buy the other items from the bee mother, which you – of course – also buy with jelly. These include a teleport to the broodmother or special glasses that show the jelly locations on the minimap for an hour.
No time gating, just a lot of work: The good news seems to be that the bee faction does not contain time gating. You will be able to farm the bee solely through diligence and are not bound to daily quests – at least that is the current state.
After all, the bee seems to ultimately be a quest reward and does not need to be bought for gold. But what would a bee queen want to do with gold?
Please keep in mind that the information provided so far is from the PTR. A lot can change before the release of WoW Patch 8.2.5.
Will you go for the bee mount? Or is it too much work for an old mount?
In Destiny 2 , a new world record has been set. A fireteam of Guardians completed a raid in a time that others need for a public event.
This is about the raid: Among all the raids that currently exist in Destiny 2, “The Corrupted” is one of the shorter ones. While players once struggled with the raid “Last Wish” for 19 hours, the GdV raid was already completed in under two hours during the World-First race.
The Corrupted went live on December 7, 2018.
Who completed the GdV raid so quickly? That this raid can indeed be mastered in much shorter time is now impressively demonstrated by the team around Swedish Guardian Granger. They rushed through the raid and completed it in just under 5 minutes and 23 seconds.
Granger shows you what the speedrun looks like in the video:

This is the new world record: Granger claims that this is the fastest raid completion in Destiny ever. And when you look at the Speedrun.com page, he’s right:
Granger, Munch, Leighmx, LiiPy, BjarturFO, and KaZzA are listed in first place for the “The Corrupted” raid with a time of 5m22s. The record was set one day ago. Second place is over 20 seconds slower, but still incredibly fast:
Source: speedrun.com
In the “Crown of Sorrow” raid, Granger also holds the record with 10 minutes 15 seconds.
The “Last Wish” raid has been completed in 20 minutes 9 seconds so far.
The raids on the Leviathan took the fastest speedrunners between 12m50s and 16m19s.
Thus, this run in the “The Corrupted” raid is the fastest speedrun ever recorded in a Destiny 2 raid.
He could not be defeated so quickly in the Calus raid
Is this all above board? If you’re wondering whether you can replicate this with your fireteam tonight, the answer is probably “No”. Because the Guardians around Granger play the raid in a way not intended by Bungie and do not hesitate to use every advantage the game offers them.
The raid run is therefore listed in the “Any%” category – which means players are allowed to use all possible bugs and glitches to achieve the shortest speedrun possible.
This is what fascinates many about speedrunning: rushing through an activity in the shortest time possible – no matter how. And how passionately the Guardians pursue this self-imposed mission can be heard at the end of the video. When they break the world record, there’s no stopping them.
In the comments under the video, many Guardians leave their congratulations in awe. One Guardian jokes that this raid was faster than a heroic public event.
The popular “We shoot a ball into the goal while driving” game Rocket League (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Switch) has announced that it will abolish random loot boxes. This is supposed to happen in 2019. It is said that Epic and Fortnite inspired the team. On Twitter, there is discontent against Epic.
What Rocket League says: They state in a blog post that they, along with Epic Games, are committed to the players and want to provide the best possible experience.
Therefore, all paid, random loot boxes will be removed from Rocket League and replaced with a system that shows players in advance what they are buying.
This decision is similar to Epic Games in “Fortnite: Save the World.”
The Rocket Pass Premium, DLC cars, and eSports shop items will remain in the game.
This is what the loot boxes look like in Fortnite: Save the World.
If he buys it, he gets exactly the content he saw beforehand.
If he does not buy it, he can wait for the reset until a new loot box is offered. Then he can see again what is in it and decide whether to buy the new loot box or not.
How exactly this will be in Rocket League is currently open. Because it is said “Crates are leaving Rocket League” – in Fortnite: Save the World, loot boxes are still in the game, just transparent.
“Epic ruins everything” – these socialists!
How are the players reacting? Those who naively expect players to burst into cheers, because loot boxes are frowned upon, will be disappointed in their expectations.
Under the announcement tweet, the opinions are quite controversial:
Some are happy: “finally”
Others say, however, that Epic has ruined not only Fortnite in one week, but also Rocket League.
The arguments for retaining the loot boxes are:
they are exciting, and you look forward to opening them
and especially a vibrant trading market

The user says Epic Games should “piss off with this socialist crap”
For months, Epic Games and everything they do have been viewed critically within the extended gamer community. Even in Rocket League, the core fans seem to be afraid of changes. Those are now coming.
If you want to finish a round of Teamfight Tactics as a first place, you need a strong combo in the late game. We will tell you which combos are available for this.
Which combos are best for the late game? In the late game, various combos have proven to be extremely effective. We would like to present the following:
The combos selected here are in a random order and are based on personal experiences and observed livestreams. The guide is an addition to our explanation for the way to the late game.
Of course, there are also many other combos that are frequently played. Since the changes made by Patch 9.15 to Knights, Nobles, and many other classes and origins, much experimentation is being done.
[toc]
6 Sorcerers, 3 Void Creatures, 2 Brawlers
What does the combo need? In this combo for Teamfight Tactics, you rely on the bonus of six Sorcerers and additionally on the True Damage of the Void Creatures. The following are needed:
Cho’Gath – Void Creature and Brawler
Rek’Sai – Void Creature and Brawler
Kassadin – Void Creature and Sorcerer
Aurelion Sol – Sorcerer
Lulu – Sorcerer
Morgana – Sorcerer
Veigar – Sorcerer
Ahri – Sorcerer
Karthus – Sorcerer
Since Ahri is the weak point in the combo, one can give Cho’Gath the item Yuumi. This will turn him into a Sorcerer, giving him more mana and allowing for space for another tank, a phantom for the bonus, or Kennen, who benefits from spell damage and the ninja bonus.
What makes the combo so strong? Due to the Sorcerer bonus, you gain +100% spell damage, from which the units beside the Sorcerers also benefit.
Veigar can kill enemies with his ultimate in one shot, Aurelion Sol hits multiple enemies at once, and the damage from other units is enormous. Opponents are usually eliminated in a few seconds.
There is also the “Exodia combo” with Karthus at level 2 and the items Seraph’s Embrace and Rabadon’s Deathcap, where Karthus then spams his ultimate and deals damage to all enemies.
What are the prerequisites for the combo? You should already bring a level 2 Kassadin in the early game and collect Lulu and Ahri. At the beginning, Kha’Zix can be used as a substitute for Cho’Gath.
Important items are also:
Rabadon’s Deathcap
Spear of Sho’jin
and many Tears of the Goddess
What are the weaknesses of the combo? The combo of six Sorcerers is susceptible to opponents who either deal a lot of damage in a short time (six Assassins) or are immune to magic damage (two Dragons or the Dragon’s Claw as an item).
3 Elemental Mages, 4 Ninjas and Pyke
What does the combo need? The combo in Teamfight Tactics requires three of the four available Elemental Mages, all four Ninjas, and Pyke to get the Assassin bonus. You are looking for:
Brand – Elemental Mage
Lissandra – Elemental Mage
Kennen – Ninja and Elemental Mage
Zed – Ninja and Assassin
Akali – Ninja and Assassin
Shen – Ninja
Pyke – Assassin
and possibly Anivia (Elemental Mage)
As the eighth unit, almost anything can be set up. Cho’Gath is currently a good choice in almost every combo.
What makes the combo so strong? The combination of the three Elemental Mages makes an elemental appear at the start of each fight, which can take good damage. Brand also deals a lot of damage with his ultimate.
At the same time, the four Ninjas and three Assassins are able to quickly eliminate the opponent’s backline because of their bonus. A highlight is Pyke with the Spear of Sho’jin, who can stun a team single-handedly.
The real strength of the combo lies in the fact that it is very accessible early in the game.
What are the prerequisites for the combo? Important for this combo is finding the right items. Required are the Spear of Sho’jin on Pyke and Rabadon’s Deathcap on Akali and Brand.
In the best case, Akali also gets a Phantom Dancer and Pyke a second Spear of Sho’jin.
You should start building this lineup as soon as you find a Brand and an Akali. The weak Ninjas are usually rarely selected, so you should be able to get Zed and Shen quickly to level 2, even later on.
What are the weaknesses of the combo? The combo itself is very strong, but there are currently simply stronger bonuses with Sorcerers, Assassins, and Void Creatures. A completely different combo from this list can defeat the Elemental Mages, Ninja, and Assassins combo, but is much harder to achieve.
6 Assassins and 4 Ninjas
What does the combo need? The combo of Assassins and Ninjas is in Teamfight Tactics as old as the game itself. It requires:
Shen – Ninja
Kennen – Ninja
Akali – Ninja and Assassin
Zed – Ninja and Assassin
Pyke – Assassin
Kha’Zix – Assassin
Evelynn – Assassin
Rengar – Assassin
Alternatively, you also have Katarina available as an Assassin. However, she falls off a bit in the late game.
What makes the combo so strong? Although the Assassins were weakened in Patch 9.14 and even in Patch 9.15, the combo is still extremely good at taking down the opponent’s backline.
What are the prerequisites for the combo? The difficulties mainly lie in the fact that everything depends on Akali. She is indispensable as the fourth Ninja and sixth Assassin.
In the mid-game, there’s also the difficulty of having to collect four Ninjas while wanting to have only one or all four on the field.
Important items in the combo are:
Rabadon’s Deathcap for Akali
Spear of Sho’jin for Pyke
Attack speed for Assassins
What are the weaknesses of the combo? Assassins are great for taking out opponent combos that don’t withstand much. However, if you come across more defensive setups, they can be eliminated too slowly, causing you to lose the fight over time.
6 Assassins, 3 Void Creatures, 1 Ninja
What does the combo need? A new combo that has emerged in recent days in Teamfight Tactics also relies on Assassins but has a somewhat more defensive lineup.
Needed are:
Akali – Ninja and Assassin
Kha’Zix – Void Creature and Assassin
Cho’Gath – Void Creature and Brawler
Rek’Sai – Void Creature and Brawler
Evelynn – Assassin
Pyke – Assassin
Katarina – Assassin
Rengar – Assassin
What makes the combo so strong? The combo relies not only on the Assassin buff but also on the strength of the Void Creatures. They have benefited significantly from the last patch and deal True Damage. Additionally, the combo is easier to achieve than six Assassins and four Ninjas.
Cho’Gath and Rek’sai also give each other Brawler buff. Katarina is needed as an Assassin because Zed cannot be used as a second Ninja.
What are the prerequisites for the combo? This combo also relies heavily on Akali, but now you do not need to collect the other Ninjas and let them wait on the bench.
Important items are again:
Rabadon’s Deathcap for Akali
Spear of Sho’jin for Pyke
Attack speed for Assassins
What are the weaknesses of the combo? In terms of damage, it is slightly weaker than if you only rely on Assassins and Ninjas. This makes it more vulnerable in fights where the opponents develop their potential later, like with the six Sorcerers who first need mana.
What does the combo need? A combo of Glacial and Rangers has been known and popular in Teamfight Tactics for a while. However, since changes to Knights, it can now be easily expanded and enhanced.
You will need:
Mordekaiser – Phantom and Knight
Kindred – Phantom and Ranger
Vayne – Noble and Ranger
Varus – Ranger
Ashe – Glacial and Ranger
Sejuani – Glacial and Knight
Braum – Glacial and Guardian
Leona – Noble and Guardian
If you have space for a ninth unit, you can benefit from additional bonuses. You could add a noble champion like Garen. If you can then form an item, you could build the Knights’ Oath with Spatula to get the bonus for 4 Knights.
What makes the combo so strong? Due to Patch 9.15, Guardians and Knights have been adjusted. Guardians now give more armor to allies, while Knights generally reduce damage from allies. In addition, Ashe and Kindred have been strengthened.
The combo is quite defensively oriented. It focuses on a lot of armor, damage reduction, and CC through the Glacial. This makes it versatile.
Moreover, in the beginning, Sejuani can be replaced by Garen and Leona by Fiora. This way, you keep the Noble buff in the early and mid-game. Additionally, no 5-gold champion is required.
What are the prerequisites for the combo? Leona and Sejuani are essential for this combo. You also need a Frost Hammer, so you can make one more unit into a Glacial.
Useful items are:
Rapid Firecannon and Statikk Shiv on Ashe
Defensive items on Braum
Frost Hammer for Vayne or Varus
What are the weaknesses of the combo? Since the combo is more defensively oriented, it is strong against Assassins and Elemental Mages. However, it has disadvantages against Sorcerers who can deal a lot of strong AoE damage with Karthus and Aurelion Sol.
4 Brawlers, 4 Glacial, 3 Elemental Mages
What does the combo need? This new and popular combo in Teamfight Tactics relies on a strong mix of CC, tanks, and good damage. You will need:
Kassadin – Void Creature
Rek’Sai – Void Creature and Brawler
Cho’Gath – Void Creature and Brawler
Blitzcrank – Robot and Brawler
Volibear – Glacial and Brawler
Lissandra – Glacial and Elemental Mage
Anivia – Glacial and Elemental Mage
Kennen – Ninja and Elemental Mage
What makes the combo so strong? The three Elemental Mages summon a golem that, alongside your 4 Brawlers, can also tank damage. The Void Creatures deal True Damage thanks to the new patch, and you benefit from the CC of the Glacial.
Additionally, you collect the buffs for the robot and the single Ninja.
What are the prerequisites for the combo? The combo relies heavily on getting Anivia. In addition, you need the Frost Hammer, which can be produced with Spatula and the Giant’s Belt.
With items, you should pay attention to strengthening Cho’Gath and Volibear:
Rapid Firecannon for Volibear
Hextech Gunblade, Infinity Edge, or other DMG items for Volibear
Morellonomicon or Guardian Angel for Cho’Gath
Cho’Gath or Kennen should get the Frost Hammer for maximum CC
What are the weaknesses of the combo? Since the combo is very defensive, it can withstand many combos like Assassins or Elemental Mages. Only Sorcerers, who inflict a lot of AoE damage thanks to Karthus and Aurelion Sol, are a danger.
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the developers of Infinity Ward announce that the shooter will have “dedicated servers.” This is a feature that shooter fans yearn for in all games. In Destiny 2 , for example, this feature is seen as a holy, unattainable grail.
Where does the information come from? The new info comes the old-fashioned way through print. In the new issue of Game Informer, Infinity Ward confirms that dedicated servers are “returning” to the Call of Duty franchise.
What is a Dedicated Server? It is a server dedicated exclusively to one task. It does nothing else.
In gaming, this means that the dedicated servers are provided by the provider, allowing for gameplay in a “neutral location.”
In a peer-to-peer system, one of the players acts as the “host,” through whose PC or console the data traffic is managed.
Dedicated Servers often demanded as “solution for lag”
Why are dedicated servers so important? Many players demand these servers because they expect a better and more stable connection.
In peer-to-peer servers, players often fear that they will be connected to someone who is on the other side of the world and has “bad ping.” This can lead to lag or situations where the other player is not where they should be. Well-expected hits or kills can thus be denied. Or one may die without even seeing the opponent. This frustrates shooter players immensely.
In general, the opinion is that only dedicated servers can ensure smooth operation. However, connection issues have also occurred in games with dedicated servers:
In Call of Duty, the franchise has been relying on these servers for the past few years. Nevertheless, conflicts have arisen regarding the performance of the servers or whether everything is as promised.
One user states on reddit that they announce dedicated servers every year, but they are only available in certain regions.
There is also concern that the server tick rate will be throttled for financial reasons – this would severely limit the usefulness of dedicated servers.
Many players likely want to see how the shooter really plays. So far, only a few streamers, YouTubers, and celebrities outside of Activision Blizzard have gotten their hands on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
In FIFA 20, many young talents will receive significant rating upgrades compared to the previous season. Here are predictions for 25 players who deserve better player ratings.
What talents are these? Players who have a strong season will receive a better rating in the upcoming football simulation from EA Sports. This also applies to young talents in FIFA 20.
The special thing about young players is that they can make huge leaps in their ratings from one year to the next in the FIFA series. They could move from relatively unknown bronze players to gold players in FUT after a strong season.
The following list of talents includes strong players who are younger than 22 years old. We probably won’t know what ratings they will ultimately receive in FIFA 20 until September. However, we can already approach the new ratings with predictions from the community.

Havertz, Sancho, Mbappe – How strong will these talents be in FIFA 20?
Who predicts the ratings? A summary of talents that deserve a strong upgrade has been compiled by the YouTuber IamTabak in the video above. The possible new ratings we provide come from the futwiz site, where the FIFA community can contribute their assessments of what new values they would assign to the players.
Possible new ratings for top talents in FIFA 20: Along with the expected new rating, we also indicate the old rating in FIFA 19 so that you can see the potential development.
Nicolo Zaniolo – 77 (64 in FIFA 19): The young Italian from AS Roma is 20 years old. In FIFA 19, he was a bronze player with a rating of 64, and in FIFA 20 he could receive an increase of 12-13 rating points.
Trent Alexander-Arnold – 84 (78): The English player is 20 years old and plays at FC Liverpool in the right-back position. After a strong season, many players predict top values for him. He only had a rating of 78 in FIFA 19.
Frenkie de Jong – 85 (82): The Dutch midfielder is with 22 years one of the oldest talents on the list. He has been playing at FC Barcelona since this season.
Ibrahima Konate – 80 (73): The French center-back from Leipzig can rise from a silver player to a gold player. He is 20 years old.
Matteo Guendouzi – 78 (67): The French midfielder from Arsenal may be relatively unknown here. However, after a strong season, the 20-year-old could be upgraded from a low silver card to a gold player.
Jadon Sancho – 84 (78): The English giant talent from BVB is guaranteed to receive a ratings boost in FIFA 20. Some fans would likely like to see a significantly higher rating, but 84 seems realistic. The winger is 19 years old.
Source: Futwiz
Hannes Wolf – 76 (70): The Austrian midfielder from Leipzig is 20 years old and has deserved a gold card in FIFA 20.
Jean-Philippe Mateta – 79 (71): The French striker from Mainz is also expected to receive a decent upgrade. He has now turned 22 years old.
Callum Hudson-Odoi – 78 (68): The English-Ghanaian winger is only 18 years old, yet it is speculated that he will improve by around 10 points in FIFA 20.
Daniel James – 80 (59): The Welsh player is 21 years old and transferred to Manchester United this summer. Many fans hope for an 80 rating, which would be a huge leap. A value in the 70s is probably more likely for the left forward.
Kai Havertz – 84 (81): The attacking midfielder from Leverkusen is considered one of the greatest German talents. This is likely to be reflected in FIFA 20 for the 20-year-old.
Matthijs de Ligt – 86 (83): The 19-year-old Dutchman will play for Juventus Turin in defense starting this summer. With a rating in the mid-80s, he could be one of the best young players in FIFA 20.
Joao Felix – 82 (69): The 19-year-old Portuguese switched this summer for a huge amount of money to Atletico Madrid. Many expectations are placed on the winger in FIFA 20. He is expected to receive a rating over 80 – which would be a huge jump compared to FIFA 19.
Declan Rice – 80 (69): The English-Irish center-back plays at West Ham United and could look forward to a significant rating growth. He is 20 years old.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka – 81 (76): The young Englishman is starting this season at Manchester United. He is 21 years old. Last season he broke through at the right-back position.
Kylian Mbappe – 90 (88): Whether the French superstar from PSG will break the 90 rating in FIFA 20 remains to be seen. Nevertheless, the community is in favor. He is 20 years old.
Source: Futwiz
Sandro Tonali – 76 (66): The Italian is 19 years old and plays for Brescia Calcio. His position is central defensive midfield.
Evan N’Dicka – 78 (64): The 19-year-old Frenchman plays in defense for Eintracht Frankfurt. He can look forward to a significant ratings boost.
Luka Jovic – 84 (80): The Serbian striker transferred this summer from Frankfurt to Real Madrid. He is 21 years old.

The 8.2.5 patch of World of Warcraft contains a fun quest. However, there are signs that it is just a fake from Blizzard…
The next patch of World of Warcraft can be tested on the PTR for a few days now. The Update 8.2.5 is still in an early state, but data miners are already diligently searching the game files for news and secrets.
In the process, they have found a rather strange quest. It is a bit silly, and this raises doubts about its authenticity. So far, only the “broadcast texts” have been read out, i.e., what NPCs say.
What is the quest about? The quest takes place in the Emerald Dreamway and involves several druids (and their companions and followers) who want to uncover a “terrible mystery.” Thisalee, Arthur, and some other druids are currently playing a game called “Don’t wake Naralex.” Apparently, they must take turns annoying the sleeping druid Naralex without waking him up.
The Emerald Dreamway is the druid order hall.
During the game, they then hear a loud scream and rush to the scene. The forest nymph Mylune has screamed in panic because someone has apparently cruelly killed some rabbits. After a brief inquiry, “Detective Arthur” (as he calls himself) teams up with Thisalee to follow the trail.
In the process, the druids ask various characters, such as the fairy dragon Sparkle. Arthur even talks to a squirrel to find out something. This dialogue consists only of the words: “Squeak, Squeak, Squeak” – and that for quite a while. After the other druids praise and admire that he can apparently speak the “squirrel language,” he only comments on it with the words:
“No, I can’t. That didn’t help at all.”
This silliness permeates all the texts of the quest series.
It reads more like an adventure of a small group of children rather than a story of adult druids. That it seems so suspicious has another reason.
Is Blizzard just playing a joke on the data miners?
The DNT is suspicious: It is particularly noticeable that before every sentence in the quest series the note “[DNT]” can be found. This stands for “Do Not Translate” and is a hint for the various localization teams. It can really only mean two things:
The texts are not final, and some details are still being changed.
The texts do not need to be translated because they are a “fake.” They are a placeholder to obscure a story that is supposed to take place here.
Therefore, the suspicion arises that Blizzard has inserted a silly quest as a distraction to test the mechanics of the quest while not revealing the real contents yet.
Whether Blizzard just wants to mislead the data miners here or actually introduces such a “silly” quest that may lead to a dark secret remains to be seen. In any case, the story writers seemed to have a lot of fun creating this quest.
What do you think of this quest series? Could it come into the game like this? What could Blizzard be hiding there?

With Legends of Aria, an MMORPG once again joins Early Access on Steam. Fans of the genre can look forward to the opportunity for a new adventure. However, those expecting high-end graphics may be disappointed.
What is Legends of Aria? Legends of Aria is a classic old-school MMORPG that primarily plays on the nostalgia of fans who have grown up with the genre. It is said to be quite similar to the well-known MMORPG Ultima Online.
The originally planned significant influence of PvP has been reduced to some “lawless” regions, allowing Legends of Aria to cater to both PvP players and explorers. The MMORPG is being developed by a small indie studio, so one should not expect a massive AAA title.

A long-standing wish of the community is being fulfilled: Apex Legends is getting a solo mode. However, it will only be available for two weeksas part of an eventand fans are still excited.
What kind of mode is this? The new solo mode is part of the “Iron Crown Collection” event. This event was announced by the official Twitter account of Apex Legends.

How does the event work? The centerpiece of the event will be a solo mode. Instead of teaming up in groups of three, you will compete alone. More details, such as the number of players per match or specific rules, will be shared later.
Since the trailer already showed a gladiator skin for Bloodhound, a pirate skin for Mirage, and another skin with armor for Lifeline, we assume these will be earnable.
The three skins from the trailer.
How long does the event last? The “Iron Crown” event kicks off on Tuesday, August 13. It will end again on Tuesday, August 27. Whether and when the mode will return is yet to be seen.
That’s why a solo mode is coming
What the developers say: In addition to the Twitter post, there was also a thread on reddit regarding the event. Here, the developers mentioned that more details will be shared in the coming time.
However, it is also stated that with the event, the solo mode is being “tested”. It almost sounds like the event is a kind of trial run or beta phase for the promised upcoming modes, which could include a solo mode.
What the fans say: Even though the event is just a limited-time opportunity for a solo mode, players are extremely excited:
Holy shit, is this really happening?! I love this approach. If it works, awesome! If not, they can change it with our feedback.
A solo mode has been a wish of the players since the release of Apex Legends. The call for solo and duo alternatives has come up repeatedly. The new event is a first step in this direction.
Players are also recently wishing for another mode without weapons:
In Season X of Fortnite there are now some missions to complete. This includes destroying stop signs with the outfit Catalyst. We will show you the locations of these signs.
What is the mission? The exact task is: “Destroy stop signs while using the outfit ‘Catalyst’.”
We will show you the best places where you can find the most stop signs. This way you won’t have any problems completing the mission.
Stop sign locations on the Season 10 map
This is where searching is worthwhile: The best place to search is likely Pleasant Park. However, you will need to travel to several locations to complete the task. We will show you on the Season X map which places are best:
Search in these 3 locations for the signs
Pleasant Park: At least 8 stop signs
Salty Springs: 3 stop signs located right next to each other
Mega Mall: At least 2 stop signs located in the small residential area
What is the best route? We recommend that you start in Pleasant Park. Once you have found the 8 signs here, go to Salty Springs. Directly at the spawn bus, you will find 3 stop signs in close proximity.
Most stop signs are located in Pleasant Park
If a teammate has already smashed the signs, then try your luck directly in the neighboring town of Mega Mall. You will also find at least 2 signs near the few residential houses there.
You must consider this: Do not complete this task later in a round, as other players may have already smashed the signs.
Once a player has smashed a stop sign, no one else can do it anymore. So you need to be quick.
How do I get the special outfit “Catalyst”? You receive it directly with the Battle Pass. You just need to equip it and you can start the round.
This video will help you: We will embed a YouTube video here that shows you some locations again. This way you can’t miss the signs:

What else is new in Season X? To ensure you don’t miss anything about Season 10, we will embed some articles here. This way you will have all the information at a glance:
In the new city Tilted Town in Fortnite: Battle Royale, no one is actually allowed to build. However, clever players are tricking the game and are still building there. We show you what it looks like.
The location Neo Tilted is quite new in the game with its bright colors. Previously, it was called Tilted Towers. Now it has been changed again. After the appearance of a mysterious machine, the location is now called Tilted Town and resembles a Western town.
What does the new location mean? Those who visit Tilted Town will be greeted by an overlay on their screen. In the city, building or harvesting material is not allowed. One of the core features of Fortnite: Battle Royale.
Normally, players smash trees, rocks, and buildings and collect material from them. From this material, they build stairs or massive constructions to protect themselves from opponents or to attack them strategically. This is not possible in Tilted Town. Actually.
This is how players build anyway: It took only a few hours after the update on Tuesday for players to find out how to circumvent the building ban. They are being creative and simply tricking the developers’ rules.
On Twitter, a player shared a video showing his glitch. He initially demonstrates how the building ban appears in the game. Entering the city triggers a message that explains it.
Then he accesses the driftboard that he was using. He skillfully shoots it into the zone of Tilted Town.
Quickly, it becomes clear that no entry message for the zone appears on the screen. Fortnite does not seem to recognize in this way that the player is actually not allowed to build. As a result, no building ban rule takes effect. The player can now easily create stairs and more there.
Another method is to cleverly execute building outside the zone so that you fall into the building ban area. A chain of events then ensures that building is permitted.

By exploiting these glitches, one gains an unfair advantage in Fortnite. We advise against using these glitches and hope that the team from Epic Games will soon provide hotfixes for this.
In Destiny 2, today, on August 6th, is the Weekly Reset. There are new weekly activities and challenges for the Guardians. Additionally, fresh Nightfalls and a new Flashpoint are ready.

All powerful weapon forms of the Black Armory are available from Ada-1.

The weekly bounty “Blood Splicer” from Spider grants you another powerful reward.
These are the Bright Dust highlights of the Eververse:
Fortnite: Battle Royale has not only received a new zone with Tilted Town, but also a new gameplay mechanic: build restrictions. This is optimal for noobs, like our author Jürgen. But what about the rest?
What is the new zone? With the update to patch 10.0 today on August 6, 2019, the already leaked new zone Tilted Town entered the game. The future city Tilted Towers, built in season 9 with its skyscrapers and wind tunnels, has now given way to a western town that resembles the old Tilted Towers in layout.
In Tilted Town, you will find special western weapons, such as the hunting rifle, the revolver, and the double-barrel shotgun. As soon as you enter the area, your character will be dressed in a western outfit.
Tilted Town abolishes building!
What’s there in Tilted Town? The major feature in Tilted Town is that the zone radically separates itself from Fortnite gameplay. Because for a long time, the big unique selling point of Fortnite has been building. And that is not possible here. The entire Tilted Town cannot be built upon. You can only walk around and shoot. Even breaking down and destroying surroundings is no longer possible.
A shootout ignites immediately in Tilted Town!
What are players doing in Tilted Town? Instead of hiding behind walls at the first sign of gunfire, it gets lively in Tilted Town, and players are shooting and jumping like crazy. As a result, players in Tilted Town quickly diminish each other, as many people are jumping off there right now, and soon after, a wild search for loot begins and chaotic shooting ensues.
What you see here is exactly what Fortnite would be without building: a fun, colorful shooter with somewhat eccentric bloom on its weapons. And I love it!
No building allowed! Anyone getting shot here must know how to defend themselves in another way.
I wouldn’t go that far, but the idea of building a house in response to gunfire in a shooter has never been a lot of fun for me. I much prefer grabbing a gun right after landing and mowing down opponents before they can gather materials to build.
Later in the game, I often fell victim to bunker pros who shot at me from fortifications erected in seconds, unless I managed to take them out right away.
In Tilted Town, however, there’s always this cool early-game dynamic, and you can hunt down the enemy in the best old-school shooter style with a gun in hand, and they have no walls or fortifications to hide behind.
At the start of the new zone, it was always well attended. Will that stay the same?
If it were up to me, Epic would gladly expand the build-free zones further and introduce them in other places as well. This makes the game more exciting for everyone in my opinion:
For noobs, because they can have successes even without building.
For veterans and pros, because you have to change your strategy and can’t always rely on things working out like before.
This is how the new zones could continue: Of course, the situation with Tilted Town and the building ban is a risk for Epic. Because anyone landing there has a clear disadvantage in the mid and late game, especially since you can’t break anything in Tilted. Resources will inevitably be missing later.
Therefore, it is quite possible that Epic will let Tilted Town disappear as quickly as it appeared and will continue to introduce new zones with special rules like build bans throughout the season. They will likely remain as long as they are new and exciting, and then disappear again.
But I’m fine with that, I enjoy the new Tilted and delight in the tears of people who desperately try to build a wall when someone approaches with a shotgun.
But enough of my noob confessions. What do you think about the building ban in Tilted Town? Cool thing or a stupid idea to stage Fortnite without its most important feature?
Borderlands 3 has released the trailer for the third Vault Hunter. This time we see the brutal Brawler Sister Amara. The Siren just wants to beat people up and tear them apart with her Siren powers.
Who is Amara? The focus of the new trailer for Borderlands 3 is Amara, the Siren among the new Vault Hunters. Sirens were previously young women who possess special mystical powers and usually fill some sort of magician or supporter role.
That is different with Amara. She is not a delicate girl, but a muscle-packed Amazon. Her Siren powers manifest among other things in six ghostly arms that beat up enemies in close combat.
So much was already known, but now we finally see Amara in her own trailer in action.

What can be seen in the trailer? In the new character trailer for Borderlands, we finally see the Siren Amara after the lonely killer Zane and the tough Mech pilot Moze. She just loves to fight. Beating up people is incredibly fun for her.
But unfortunately, no one wants to take her on, and all enemies prefer to flee rather than be crushed by her. This makes Amara sad and unfulfilled. She is a sort of star with many fans, but she just wants to brawl. Is that really too much to ask?
Therefore, she roams the wasteland, but even the usually violent psychos do not want to fight her. However, in the end, a few psychos do join, and due to their numbers, it becomes a lot of fun for both sides in the end.
Amara should be the ideal Vault Hunter for anyone who likes to deal heavy damage at close range.
What is still missing? Of the four Vault Hunters from Borderlands 3, three have now been introduced in more detail, including Amara. Only the mysterious masked character FL4K, who can control various beasts, is left. We will probably see a trailer for FL4K in the next few days.
When is Borderlands 3 finally coming out? You won’t have to wait much longer, as Borderlands 3 will be released on September 13, 2019. Which Vault Hunter will you play? I, Jürgen, have just fallen in love with Amara.
More details about Amara and her skill trees can be found here:
The new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare actually wants to “return to the roots” of CoD with its realism. However, studio art director Joel Emslie now explains that there will be Tamagotchis in multiplayer – and why these 90s gadgets are allowed to be there.
What is a Tamagotchi? Tamagotchis are a trend phenomenon from the late 1990s. These devices are small eggs that are carried in your pocket and constantly demand attention. A kind of digital pocket pet.
Tamagotchis were often carried around as keychains or other accessories by teenagers. Inside the small eggs, a digital chick “lives,” which periodically checks in to be fed, washed, or taken care of. If you ignored the creature, it would die.
How does this work in CoD? In the upcoming Modern Warfare, the Tamagotchis are integrated into the wristwatches. The wristwatches are a small detail feature that allows players to customize a character.
The chick version of these watches is called “TamaGUNchi” and it feeds on kills. To keep it alive, you must eliminate opponents in the multiplayer mode.
Actually, the wristwatches are just a cool feature that can also tell the time. As a Tamagotchi, however, it adds a completely different dimension that doesn’t quite fit the realism claim of Modern Warfare.
Annoying 90s Gadgets
– and you are to blame
That’s why CoD now has Tamagotchis: The reason Emslie pushed for the TamaGUNchi is the players’ desire for individuality. The fans’ obsession with the wristwatches is, to put it bluntly, responsible for this:
People have really latched onto the wristwatches we have in the game. They are curious about how they will evolve. We will also do strange things with the watches. […] The [TamaGUNchi] is something unique, where we got creative. I told the developers: “Can you make it live and grow when I get kills in multiplayer?”
With these details, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare aims to give players the opportunity to add more individuality. Emslie is curious to see how the response will be.
Infinity Ward has already stated that they will not use multiplayer to depict the “atrocities” of war. The multiplayer mode is more of a playground and clearly separated from the single-player experience.
So far, the community has reacted rather negatively to another feature:
In the online shooter Anthem the big update finally went live today on August 6th. It weighs 12 or 15 GB depending on the platform and finally brings the event Cataclysm, which was originally scheduled for May. We look at the patch notes for 1.3.0 on PC, PS4, Xbox One.
What kind of update is this? After a 3-hour server downtime, the long-awaited update 1.3.0 is finally here. This is the update that Anthem fans have been waiting for months.
The patch is about 15 GB on PC; on PS4 and Xbox One, it is said to be 12 GB.
Today, it is finally here, and the first significant update in months goes live.
One of the new weapons now available in Anthem.
Anthem 1.3.0 – the patch notes
Here are the highlights of the patch notes:
A new story mission is coming
The event Cataclysm starts – it was originally scheduled for May. The Cataclysm brings a new zone where players can complete activities and earn points. The new game mode is expected to evolve over time.
You can download a guild app
A new “Inversions” system is coming, where you interact with the environment. These are special effects that are active during the Cataclysm. BioWare believes players could adapt their play style to the respective effect: For example, using shotguns because they do more damage, or wearing less armor when the inversion provides advantages.
Additionally, there are masterwork items for all Javelins and their slots – allowing players to finally carry masterpieces or legendary items everywhere.
In the difficulty levels Grandmaster 2 and 3, the shields and health points of enemies have been drastically reduced – this is supposed to make the levels less grindy and more rewarding.
Furthermore, melee combat has been completely overhauled.
Numerous bug fixes are listed.
Big question: Is it worth the download?
How are players reacting? There is cautious optimism. The big question right now is: Is it worth it to reinstall Anthem for the patch?
We will report on Anthem and the update 1.3.0 on MeinMMO in the coming days.
For the moment, there is a great sense of relief that Anthem is actually continuing.
