There are now good reasons to explore your city again with Pokémon GO! Niantic has added new spawn points, promising more Pokémon.
What’s new in Pokémon GO: On Reddit, numerous players report that the spawn points have changed. Most trainers report more Pokémon. However, some players also say that they have lost spawns.
The new spawns could also change things for trainers. It could lead to entirely new routes where one can catch Pokémon easily.
New Spawn Points in Pokémon GO – Why They Matter
What exactly are spawn points? Every Pokémon in the wild spawns at a specific spawn point. This point gets a Pokémon every hour at the same time.
Each of these Pokémon has a fixed spawn point
Now there are new spawn points. So at places where there has not been a Pokémon before, a Pokémon could now appear.
What the new spawns mean for you: New spawns also mean new Pokémon. So you should revisit areas in your city that you might have deemed unsuitable before. There could be new spawns that suddenly make these places interesting again.
Players especially report that something has changed at PokéStops. Now, significantly more stops are said to also have spawn points for Pokémon.
Generally, you should seek routes where many Pokémon spawn. This way, you can make the most out of little time. This could be particularly interesting for Community Days.
Are there only new spawns? It seems that many new spawn points have been added, but some old ones have been removed. Overall, there should now be more spawns.
Overall, it’s great news as there are more Pokémon to catch.
Why does Niantic change the spawns? The developers themselves have not commented on this. However, one can assume that they generally want to increase the spawns. This could also make playing in rural areas more interesting if suddenly there are noticeably more Pokémon to catch.
Moreover, they naturally want to attract players to the PokéStops. There are often PokéStops that do not have spawns around them. Why would one stop by here? This could change with the new spawns.
The attacks for the Community Day are known! Lohgock learns 2 new attacks:
This week in Destiny 2, you can continue the exotic quest from the mission “Zero Hour”. We explain how to solve the second step “Arc Configuration” and what rewards you can earn.
About this quest: Since May 7, numerous Guardians have been hunting the new exotic weapon Perfected Outbreak and its exotic masterwork catalyst. The weapon itself and the catalyst can only be obtained through the mission “Zero Hour” after completing a specific quest line. Additionally, the catalyst can only be leveled through this mission in parts.
But there’s more to be gained there. In the heroic version of “Zero Hour,” the Guardians stumbled upon another exotic quest. This quest consists of three parts and apparently leads to a new exotic ship in the end. Furthermore, valuable additional percent can be obtained for catalyst progress.
After last week’s step “Null Configuration”, we now continue with the “Arc Configuration.” Here’s how the second quest step goes.
The Arc Configuration – How to solve the riddle in the vault
What do you need to do this week for the Arc Configuration? Compared to the first quest step “Null Configuration” from last week, not much has changed. Until you reach the ignitable plates in front of the vault, basically everything is the same – including the path.
For the Arc Configuration, you need to find three different keycards and collect 49x SIVA particles in the heroic version of “Zero Hour” – all in one go. If you fail or abort the mission, you have to start over.
The pressure plates in front of the vault room: In front of the vault room, you will find ignitable floor plates that must be walked over in a specific pattern. This week, you should walk over them in this order:
The sequences at the terminals and consoles: Once you have overcome the pressure plates, you will enter the vault room, where the actual Arc riddle needs to be solved. The procedure itself is exactly the same as last week. Only the sequences to be entered are different for the Arc Configuration.
How to crack the Arc Configuration
Although a large part of this riddle phase remains the same, we have explained it here in detail due to its complexity, so you don’t have to switch between multiple articles.
What you need to do now: The vault room remains unchanged. There are three terminals in the main room and seven side rooms, each with seven consoles. One player continuously operates Terminal 1, a second handles Terminal 2, and the third takes on the role of the runner and activates the consoles.
What is important for you are Terminals 1 and 2. Terminal 3 can be ignored.
How to read correctly: Player 1 activates Terminal 1. On display: two blue circles, each with 12 segments. Each circle has a specific segment highlighted in color.
To make the riddle easier, fans have numbered the segments as shown in the image. The yellow segments and their numbers are what is important.
The seven side rooms are color-coded and each contains seven consoles. All side rooms are structured based on this pattern, and all consoles are numbered as shown in the image:
The solution: Player 1 reads the numbers of the highlighted segments from left to right. This number pair is now to be compared in this table. Note: The sequences are now different from those in the Null Configuration the previous week.
Now look up this number combination in the table (Column Terminal 1). Then, slide all the way to the left to Column Siva Terminal in that row. That way, you can identify which room the runner must go to (color) and which console he has to activate (number).
Once the runner has activated the corresponding console, the player at Terminal 1 can continue his task and read the next number pair. This process repeats 49 times.
You don’t have to finish the mission, by the way. So don’t worry if the mission timer keeps running. Additionally, every successful activation of a console grants extra time.
What do you need Terminal 2 for? Occasionally, it may happen that a number combination from Terminal 1 appears multiple times in the table, leading you to different rooms (as shown in the image).
In this case, the player at Terminal 2 reads his numbers and compares them with the Column Terminal 2 behind the previously encountered number combination from Terminal 1. If the numbers for Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 match in that row, then slide all the way to the left and you will know exactly which room and which console the runner needs to go to.

This is the reward: Once you have mastered the riddle, the Ark Configuration will now also be checked off in the repair blueprint. This means you are one step closer to the exotic ship and will likely only need to complete the Solar Configuration next week.
On top of that, you will receive 67x SIVA particles and an additional 13% for the progress of the Perfected Outbreak’s masterwork catalyst. This way, you can already reach a total of 67% this week and have the chance to fully level up the catalyst next week.
Here you can find out how to master the Null and Solar Configurations:
This test phase starts next: From May 29 to June 19, it will be possible for players who are at least 18 years old to register for the Korean beta of the MMORPG A:IR.
When does the beta start? A start date has not yet been announced. Since the registration phase lasts until June 19, the Closed Beta will likely begin in summer.
In the upcoming Ghost Recon Breakpoint, you will be stranded on the fictional island of Auroa. But you will not be alone on the island, as the game will feature a Social Hub.
This is the Social Hub: Players will find themselves in the next installment of the Ghost Recon series on the island of Auroa and will be hunted by the hostile Wolves. Early in the story, players will encounter the small village of Erewhon, which is located in a hidden cave and serves as a hideout from then on.
Erewhon is also a Social Hub where up to 16 players can gather, meet, and arrange activities.
Erewhon is located in a hidden cave and offers you a refuge.
Here’s why the Hub is important: Besides meeting other players, Erewhon also plays a significant role in the rest of the game. The cave is where much of the story is set to unfold. There, you will meet your allies and talk to various characters.
Additionally, in Erewhon, you can buy items, new gear, and weapons as well as unlock further missions.
You can also choose additional modes of Ghost Recon Breakpoint in the Hub. This includes the new PvP mode and raids that are scheduled to be added to the game at a later date. Thus, the Hub becomes a central hub for the entire game and all future features.
This is what players are saying: The news about the Social Hub in Breakpoint has resulted in mixed feelings among players so far. Some compare Ghost Recon Breakpoint to The Division and feel that the game sounds more and more like a Division 3.
Moreover, a location with other players is not well received by story lovers. For instance, tal17717 on Reddit says: “I’m not against a Social Hub, but they removed the AI companions so that you feel like a lone wolf in the world. Now you can go to the Hub where about ten other ghosts are hanging out? That seems strange to me.”

Recently, Fallout 76 has really received many cool features. This includes some new items for the Atomic Shop, the shop for microtransactions. A group of theme skins based on the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse really hyped our author Benedict – and then disappointed him.
This is the skin in question: Fallout 76 has received several limited edition skins of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse in recent weeks. These are known from biblical stories as:
The White Horseman (Abuse of power, known as Pest in Fallout 76)
The Red Horseman (War)
The Black Horseman (Famine)
The Pale Horseman (Death)
Each of these skins costs about 14€ with 1400 atoms in the Atomic Shop and was strictly limited to 7 days each.
A few days ago, on May 14, 2019, the Atomic Shop received an update and the last Horseman, “Death,” was finally available. “Death” is available until May 21. However, it’s not much more than a white-painted power armor with black markings on it.
Why am I so disappointed? Despite some very controversial items in the Atomic Shop like the repair kits, Bethesda has, in my opinion, put a lot of effort into new skins. So much so that I have spent money multiple times to acquire them.
The first new skin I purchased was the Raider skin for the excavator power armor, because it usually looks so dull. Then came the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, of which I didn’t find “Pest” particularly appealing, but immediately wanted to buy “War” and “Famine”.
Hyped by their cool appearance, especially with Famine, I was really looking forward to “Death” as the most popular and well-known horseman. I expected a fluttering cape, scythes, or skeletal patterns. Not chalk drawings on metal.
The Raider skin for the excavator power armor has already encouraged me to buy.
These are the skins of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse
This is what “Famine” looks like: My absolute favorite skin from the collection is “Famine,” a black skin for the power armor adorned with many ornaments that look like cooled fire and truly look like something that brings a cruel death.
The skin looks a bit like my beloved Chaos Space Marines or a really fanatical Black Templar from Warhammer 40k, and this was already “only” the often mocked horseman “Famine”.
This is what “War” looks like: “War” also grabbed me. The skin is a mix of white and red metals, with bones and blades everywhere on the armor, protrusions on the head, and skulls on the knee pads.
“War” really looks like the horseman who spreads war in the world and acts as a harbinger of brutal battles.
This is what “Pest” looks like: Fallout 76 reimagined the first Horseman of the Apocalypse as disease and plague instead of the biblical white horseman, who represents abuse of power.
The horseman “Pest” was the first skin from the horseman series and does not fall short of its two following colleagues. “Pest” is a sickly green skin for the power armor with red plague boils and protrusions everywhere.
Additionally, the eyes are glowing red and sickly. It looks as though the horseman would infect anyone who merely looks at him or gets too close. A good start a few weeks ago.
“Nuclear Winter” sounds like an update that takes place after a great war and where misery and destruction will play a significant role. The four Horsemen of the Apocalypse fit in perfectly as harbingers. Hopefully, a bit more impressive than “Death”.
For now, however, “Wild Appalachia” is up first, and today, on May 16, the legendary vendor from Fallout 76 finally appears along with his offers:

This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
In The Division 2, the new patch brought fresh content for solo players: the Classified Assignments. In these, one feels like Rambo, although they should actually put emphasis on the story. The Classified Assignments were one of the main contents for the €40 annual pass.
What are the Classified Assignments? At the start of the €40 annual pass for The Division 2, Massive announced that they would bring “Classified Assignments.” In total, holders of the annual pass should be able to play 8 of these “Classified Assignments.”
The contents of the annual pass – here are also the Classified Assignments.
Little was known about them. It was said that they meant “8 secret missions that deal with the fall of D.C.”
This was the question beforehand: The situation with the Classified Assignments is delicate and poses potential conflict, because:
the missions are new “content” tied to the €40 annual pass
but Massive stated that the annual pass actually only contains “goodies” and nothing that one necessarily needs to enjoy The Division 2
The assignments must therefore not be “too good” so that people do not feel pressured to spend money on the pass out of fear of missing out. Because they were assured that they do not need to do so, and DLCs in The Division 2 are free.
The assignments must be good enough that annual pass players do not feel cheated. A strange balance.
How secret are the assignments? The assignments are not secret at all. When you log in, you are sent to a blue zone, where the entrance is not directly marked but easy to find.
The National Bond weapon cache is the first classified assignment in The Division 2.
The first assignment is near the White House, the second mission unfolds after completing the first.
I needed about a minute or maybe two to find the entrance – and my sense of direction in The Division 2 is usually really bad. It takes me forever to find a target for a bounty.
What are the classified assignments like? They are cool, small missions that come across as “solo adventures.” However, you can also play them in a group – but the difficulty level seems to stay on “normal.”
The first assignment takes place in a bank, the second in a theater. You feel excited as an agent to see a new environment, but the missions are not particularly challenging gameplay-wise.
You mow through enemies like a fat kid through strawberry cake (or like I do through strawberry cake). At times, I felt like I was in an arcade shooter and not in The Division 2.
If you are used to playing group missions, constantly hiding and playing carefully, this is a change. I felt like I was playing the missions like Rambo and the normal enemies fall over if I just aim vaguely in their direction.
This does not contribute to creating a tense atmosphere that the scenario aims for.
Pretty mean: In the theater, the hostages apparently serve as target practice.
What does this have to do with the “Fall of D.C.”? The missions themselves have little to do with it. The assignments are basically “Here the True Sons (bank) or Hyenas (theater) have settled, and the agent must eliminate them.”
There is also a small story to make the mission feel more urgent, but it’s not particularly special.
However, in the missions, there are 4 recordings each that tell a story via audio about how the institutions in D.C. are failing:
The bank employees are instructed to burn the money but do exactly the opposite and try to secure advantages for themselves. Thus, they contribute to spreading the dollar flu.
In the theater, the story of a failing police force is told and how neighbors suddenly become beasts.
Both stories are short and well done. They match what one usually knows from The Division 2. It’s nice here that the stories are compactly told and easy to find. In the open world, you have to piece them together more often.
There are also attachments for the backpack to be found.
The recordings are clearly marked on the map – for two, you have to think a bit and solve smaller puzzles, but it’s almost impossible to miss the recordings. Especially since at the end of the mission, you are asked if you have already found all 5 items and want to leave.
This is my assessment: I played both missions briefly yesterday – they are not a big deal. The missions are clearly structured, enemies arrive in waves – many red ones, in the end, there is sometimes an elite.
The second mission is significantly tougher than the first, but still easy. It could be that it only seemed harder to me because at that time I was completely in John Wick mode, looking for no cover anymore, but just shooting wildly.
I found the stories and missions interesting and entertaining, and I will also play the next 6 missions, listen to the story, and look at the environment.
There was nothing world-shaking in the loot for me, but I am also quite well equipped.
One should be able to finish the mission in the coming weeks, but that does not seem particularly meaningful to me. At the moment, I see no reason to go back in or play it with multiple players.
However, it may be rewarding for players with a lower gear score – but there should be quite a few at 500 at the moment.
This was the loot of one of the end bosses. (I have gear score 500 here).
Classified Assignments are “more of the same” in The Division 2
Are the Classified Assignments worth it? The Classified Assignments are small, entertaining mini-story missions, without much challenge, to see even more stories and places of The Division 2 that match the quality of the base game.
For those who can’t get enough of The Division 2, the Classified Assignments are certainly a good thing:
The Classified Assignments are definitely a nice bonus for players who already have the annual pass.
But for those who considered getting the annual pass just for this, they are missing out on nothing world-changing if they forgo the purchase.
It has been as Massive said so far: The annual pass of The Division 2 is not necessary; you can also do well without it.
In PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Stream snipers are a problem for many professionals. But sometimes they also pull off funny pranks on popular streamers.This time it was Shroud who got hit.
What was the fuss about? Professional streamer Shroud was playing PUBG with a buddy. Suddenly, his teammate said: “Look up in the tree, there are some wild animals. Do you have your sound on?”
And indeed, shortly after, monkey sounds could be heard. The joke was: There are actually no monkeys in PUBG!

So the monkeys entered the game: Did the developers secretly patch new wild animals into the game? Not at all, because it was just two stream snipers disguised as monkeys.
Such monkey masks are now available in PUBG. But instead of ambushing Shroud, which they might have managed to do, the two “monkeys” decided to entertain the streamer with their monkey business.
Via voice chat, the monkey screeching was broadcast live from the jokesters to Shroud and Co. The two players were quite amused and watched the show for a while.
This is what the monkey masks in PUBG look like. Source: Dexerto
Close the door, monkey dead
This is how the monkey safari ended: “What noise does a monkey make when it dies?” wondered Shroud’s buddy and put the theory into practice immediately. A few gunshots later, the monkeys lay stretched out in the grass and the screeching ceased.
“This is a real nature documentary here,” Shroud’s buddy quipped as a one-liner, then the two moved on to earn a chicken dinner.
The Japanese magazine Famitsu conducted an interview with the developers of Monster Hunter World. They revealed some interesting information about the upcoming expansion Iceborn.
What was revealed in the interview? The developers shared a bit more about Iceborn, but also mentioned that fans can expect more information at E3. The story picks up after the campaign of Monster Hunter World. You can only play the DLC after you’ve completed the main story.
You won’t just be exploring new areas, but also returning to previous locations.
Hoarfrost Reach is said to be the largest area in MHW so far. Therefore, there will be opportunities to move quickly from A to B.
You can warm up in hot springs to reduce cold effects.
You can also wear winter clothing.
With the “Clutch Claw,” you gain an additional way to control monsters. This works differently from riding.
The trailer shows the green nectar of a Palico. This helps you once when you’ve been knocked out. There are no health restrictions with this item.
All weapons can use the Slinger, even if they are not sheathed. However, the sword and shield take it a step further with a new element.
The Dual Blades allow you to perform powerful strikes after Double-Slash combos while dodging. In Demon Mode, you can hold onto the monster with the “Clutch Claw” after the second “Rotation Slash.”
The light bowguns can be upgraded to reload while dodging. It is also possible to load multiple shots.

What is particularly interesting? During the interview, the developers revealed that Iceborn will be expanded with additional, free updates. So if you buy the DLC, you will receive new updates with additional content over time, just as was the case with the main game.
What these updates will include will be revealed later.
What do fans think of the information? The Monster Hunter World community is really looking forward to the DLC and the many innovations. The Clutch Claw is something that many find interesting, even though it is still not entirely clear how exactly it can be used.
Also, the fact that the DLC will receive additional, free updates after release is well received by players.
Charge Blade says on Reddit: “I’m really looking forward to the updates. For me, it would have been fine if we had only received the expansion.”
To open his beer, this Twitch streamer wants to use a special item. After a brief poll, he decides on his headset. And then the dilemma is big.
Who is it about? The Twitch streamer Jayden “xDwn” Saunders has a relatively small channel on the streaming website with nearly 1,300 followers. He streams various games like Doom or Fortnite.
However, his clip from May 15 has already received over 65,000 views. In it, he tries to open his beer bottle with an expensive headset.
Why does he open his beer with a headset? Before the action, he talks in the stream about wanting to open his beer with “some item from his room.”
It should be something special. “Something that you believe I can’t use to open a beer,” he says in the voice chat, “I’ll open the beer with that.”
In the voice chat, someone then says “headset” and the streamer accepts the challenge. He then takes off his red headphones and applies them to the bottle. He explains beforehand that it is a twist-off cap and not a crown cap.

Before the attempt, he says that he doesn’t want to break the headphones. Then he fails the first time and tries a different technique. This time he is sure he would only damage the headset, but not break it.
This is how the attempt ended: With the opening attempt he destroyed the headset. He was left holding only a strap with ear cup from which a cable was dangling. “I didn’t think that would happen,” says the streamer afterwards, who looks visibly affected by the mishap.
Shortly thereafter, he set up a new donation goal: he wants 300 Australian dollars for a new headset. When asked, xDwn revealed that he also paid about 300 Australian dollars for the headset from the clip.
Alcohol on stream can also look very different. Here, Fortnite player Tfue celebrates his entry into the World Championship with a champagne shower:
However, many agents had different expectations and were already looking forward to the raid – even without a clan or a fixed group. After all, The Division 2 promised a player search for all in-game activities. Now they have to look for other ways to find players.
How are fans reacting? While some players welcome and support this decision by Massive, many fans are angry and disappointed. Many cannot understand this decision despite the explanations from the developers.
However, after processing the initial shock, the community on Reddit is already working on a solution. In addition to possible approaches and suggestions for Massive, some affected players in the subreddit of The Division 2 have now come up with a kind of workaround. It is intended to help all players without a clan or fixed group, but also for too small squads – and indeed within the game.
This is what the community’s workaround looks like: Players who are looking for a raid team or other players for their own team in-game should go to the heli-pad in the operations base, that is, at the White House. Since the raid NPC, in the form of the pilot, is standing there and the helicopter is intended for the raid anyway, they want to use this location as a gathering place for everyone who wants to join the raid.
If actively looking for players, one should perform the jumping jack emote there. This way, you communicate to the other players that you are still available or still searching.
Since not every agent is on Reddit, this location and this signal should be shared with as many agents as possible outside of Reddit.
This is where like-minded individuals can meet in-game for the raid
Especially at the raid start, it is hoped that one or the other player can still find a raid team even without matchmaking or external means, or that entire random teams can form – and indeed within the game.
Everything about the raid start: The raid “Operation: Dark Hours” opens today, May 16, at 6 PM right after the maintenance on The Division 2’s servers. Here you will find everything you need to know about the start of this new PvE top activity:

In Fortnite , the latest patch 9.01 has met the wishes of professional players. The drum gun saw a hefty nerf – even the dreaded hamster ball had to take a hit in the new update. This pleases the pros of Fortnite: Twitch streamer Myth even thanks Epic with an emotional video.
This is how the drum gun was nerfed: The base damage drops from 26/27 to 22/23.
Epic says that after the weapon was retrieved from the vault by players, it turned out to be stronger than they had hoped. Therefore, they want to weaken the weapon without destroying its flair.
The Tommy Gun swings between favorite weapon and hated weapon.
This is how the vehicle was nerfed: The vehicle now has only 150 health points instead of 200.
Epic says the vehicle should be a fun and exciting means of transportation – but it was too strong defensively, so they want to weaken it.
An extremely agile and surprisingly stable hamster ball.
This is what it’s about: Both nerfs come after constant and loud protests from streamers and eSports players who want to qualify for the Fortnite World Championship.
In recent months, they have had very little good to say about Epic and have consistently and publicly complained about Epic, the balance, and the direction that Fortnite is headed.
Myth has made an ironically meant thank-you video to Epic. He apparently sees this as a turning point and comeback.
In the tone of a sports coach rallying his team, he shouts into the camera – much to the delight of his viewers. He puts on quite a show, it’s amusing.

However, Ninja is not satisfied yet; he still wants the drum gun completely removed from the game.
On the forum Reddit , Epic is surprisingly getting praise for the patch. Overall, the changes are considered solid, according to the most upvoted comments.
It’s considered a decent patch; the vehicles are now being hunted by snipers. Additionally, the explanations from Epic are praised as a progress in communication.
The challenges of Week 2 in Season 9 in Fortnite have been leaked. This time there are few puzzle tasks. We will show you what might be coming your way.
What kind of leak is this? Weekly, Fortnite: Battle Royale presents its players with new tasks in a season. They can expand their Battle Pass and unlock cosmetic items and V-Bucks. So completing the tasks is worth it.
Before the challenges are officially introduced this afternoon, on May 16, a leak has already spread. This comes from data miners who have taken a close look at the game data.
How credible is the leak? These tasks were already discovered by data miners a few days ago. It’s possible that the Update 9.01 on Wednesday has changed the tasks.
Keep in mind that the challenges may still change until this afternoon. Nothing is guaranteed yet.
Search 3 chests at different named locations in a match
Eliminate opponents from at least 50 meters, 75 meters, or 100 meters away
What do the challenges offer in addition? The leak also shows that large XP rewards await you. It is said that if you complete 4 challenges from this week, you will receive 5,000 experience points. Completing 6 tasks will reward you with a new Fortbyte.
The Fortbytes have been in the game since Season 9 and can be unlocked through various actions. In our overview, you’ll find everything you need to know about the Fortbytes and how to unlock them.
We will present the official challenges on MeinMMO this afternoon and show you guides to the tasks. Keep an eye on our Facebook page so you don’t miss anything.
On Pokémon GO, the Community Day with Cyndaquil starts on Sunday! Accordingly, two moves were revealed that Typhlosion can learn.
These are the moves: Not surprisingly, Typhlosion can learn the Charged Move Overheat like any other Fire starter. However, it is surprising that a second move comes to Typhlosion.
Thus, Typhlosion will learn the move Flame Charge through TM. This was always one of the exclusive moves for Typhlosion in the console games.
What we know about the two new moves
Which move is better? This is currently a hot topic of debate among many players. Overheat has two charge bars, while Flame Charge even has three charge bars.
Typhlosion learns two moves during Community Day.
For gym battles and raids, Overheat is likely the better alternative. However, in PvP, Flame Charge performs better as it charges its Charged Move significantly faster.
The differences here are minimal, but both moves greatly enhance Typhlosion.
This is how strong Typhlosion will be with the new moves: Among the best Fire attackers, Typhlosion rises to the top with these two moves. Although the currently best Fire attacker Moltres can withstand more, it deals slightly less damage per second.
This is how you can get the moves: There is a big difference here. Typhlosion learns Overheat in the usual way on Community Day. You need to evolve it between 3 PM and 7 PM for it to learn the move. TMs do not help here.
Flame Charge, on the other hand, can be learned through TMs. This way, you can also teach the move to already evolved forms of Typhlosion.
The Community Day will take place on Sunday this time.
What happens after Community Day? This is currently unclear. Overheat will no longer be learnable after the event. However, Flame Charge might still be learnable after the Community Day. After all, you teach this move with TMs, which suggests a long-term move.
Nevertheless, we recommend that on Sunday, during the event, you equip appropriate Typhlosions with Flame Charge. After all, we are not sure if the move will remain available afterwards.
The 3rd GO Fest for 2019 has a location! It will take place in Yokohama:
The first players can already dive back into World of Warcraft: Classic. Are you also in the beta? You can easily check this.
As announced, the beta of World of Warcraft Classic is now live. The first players can already play and experience Azeroth in its original state from many years ago. However, many players are still hoping for beta access, which scammers like to exploit.
This is how you recognize if you are in the beta: Typically, you will be informed by an email from Blizzard that your account is now enabled for the beta of WoW: Classic. Alternatively, you can also check this directly in the launcher.
Simply start your Battle.net software and select the menu entry for World of Warcraft. Click on “Region / Account” and go through the corresponding entries. If there is an entry for “Beta: WoW Classic,” then you can download the game client immediately and start playing!
By direct invitation only: Blizzard has emphasized that, as in the past, there will be no “keys” as access for the beta of WoW: Classic. If someone offers you such a thing, it is a scam attempt. Access to the beta will only come from Blizzard, by directly enabling your respective Battle.net account.
Are you in the beta of World of Warcraft: Classic? Or are you still waiting in vain for access and cursing the world because everyone else has access, but you don’t?

In recent years, the Steam sales have often been shared with the community through leaks days before the official announcement.
How credible is the leak? As Steam Database writes on Twitter, the leak has already been confirmed by several sources. Although the leak comes very early, it sounds plausible.
However, keep in mind that there is no guarantee for the date of the Summer Sale due to this leak. This will still have to be officially confirmed.
What does the Steam Summer Sale bring? Gamers expect many offers with discounts on games and software on the Steam platform. The selection has been large in recent years, ranging from indie games to strategy games to video editing software.
Popular AAA games have often been discounted on Steam in the past and have been attractive during such sales.
Many gamers are especially looking forward to this event in summer to buy their desired games at a lower price. So if there are already a few games on your wish list, you might want to hold off until the Summer Sale to possibly buy them at a discount.
Several times a year, there are such sales on the Steam platform. These include winter, autumn, and spring sales.
Still not sure what you could buy in the sale? Maybe these MMOs will be discounted:
Originally, the pirate MMO Skull & Bones was supposed to be released in the fiscal year 2019/2020. However, Ubisoft has postponed it again in the latest financial report. A release of Skull & Bones will not happen before April 2020.
When was Skull & Bones supposed to come out? It was originally planned for 2018. Then it was postponed to the fiscal year 2019/2020, so it should have been released by the end of March 2020 at the latest – probably, there was even a release date set for 2019.
But now Ubisoft has postponed Skull & Bones once again in the current financial report for the fiscal year 2018/2019.
So when is it coming now? According to Ubisoft, we shouldn’t expect Skull & Bones until after the fiscal year 2019/2020. This would be the case at the earliest in April 2020 and at the latest by the end of March 2021.
Why is it coming so late? The reason given for the first delay was that more time was needed to provide players with an even more immersive experience. However, Ubisoft has not provided any specifics regarding the current delay.
What else is Ubisoft planning? Ubisoft is quite active in the fiscal year 2019/2020. They plan to release a total of 4 AAA titles, meaning games with substantial budgets. So far, only the recently announced Ghost Recon Breakpoint is known. Possibly, there will also be a new Assassin’s Creed set in a Viking-era.
What is Skull & Bones anyway? Skull and Bones originated from the idea of turning the exciting naval battles from Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag into a standalone game. You are essentially controlling your pirate ship and sailing through the oceans in search of loot.
The new LoL champion Yuumi has now been unlocked in League of Legends. But players are concerned. The win rate is extremely low. What is the reason?
What is new? For about a day, you can play the new champion in League of Legends. This is Yuumi. The little sorceress is already well-received by players due to her appearance.
Fans could hardly wait to try out the character in the game after the cat was introduced. But now, after the first few hours, it turns out: She is probably not as strong as she is cute.

How rarely do players win with Yuumi? A post on Reddit about Yuumi’s win rate is extremely popular. After over 13,000 matches that took place at least in platinum ranking, Yuumi’s win rate was only 29.71%.
As the user LookAtThisGraphs explains, this is the lowest win rate that any new champion or a champion after a rework has had on day 1. As proof, he posts a statistic from Lolalytics.com. Meanwhile, 14 hours after the Reddit post, Yuumi’s win rate is 30.91%.
The comparison with current win rates: Nami’s win rate is about 53%, Thresh’s about 51%, and Sona’s about 55%.
Why is Yuumi’s win rate so low? Players say
This is what the fans demand:On Reddit, calls for buffs and hotfixes are being made. There is hope that developers will adjust Yuumi’s stats so she heals more and deals more damage. Additionally, the champion should take more damage.
Reasons for the low win rate: For many players, it is clear that the low base stats and low AP scalings are the reason why Yuumi has such a low win rate.
The fact is that Yuumi represents a whole new kind of supporter with her abilities. She can make herself invulnerable by connecting with an allied champion. Then they cannot attack enemies. Apparently, this ability is being used too strongly, leaving the ADC out in the open.
This is what players say: Player Praius writes, “I mean, are we really surprised? Her entire kit is filled with low numbers. And her base stats are awful. It doesn’t help that her only hard CC is her ultimate.”
Player SynGaren writes: “I believe the only possible way to win with her is as a duo with Veigar. Otherwise, she is just worthless.
Her Q has the lowest poke damage in the game
Her W grants 3-40 AP (half for AD) and only if she has been fed and maxes W
Her E is the weakest healing spell in the game
Her R is extremely hard to hit, tied to an ally, and does no damage
[…] I really think support Evelynn would have a higher win rate.”
Are players just playing Yuumi wrong?
Another thread later became popular on Reddit. It is titled “People are playing Yuumi completely wrong”.
The thread creator, Awesome359, addresses in his post that players are simply handling the new champion incorrectly. Just connecting with an ally and then being half AFK would “never be effective”.
“In the bot lane, you need all the health points you can get. This includes shields, healing spells, and current health points. If Yuumi connects with a champion, the effective health points of the bot lane are reduced by about 400. And all spells and attacks can be directed unimpeded at the ADC,” writes Awesome359.
He says that you should stay “out” with Yuumi until you are almost dead. This way, you can block attacks from enemies that would otherwise reach the ADC. When you are almost dead, you connect with the ADC and become invulnerable.
In the comments on Reddit, you can now often read that the win rate will probably stabilize in the next few weeks. For now, they are testing builds and masteries as well as playstyles to get the most potential out of Yuumi.
It is possible that Riot will still buff Yuumi’s stats if the developers think they are too low. On the other hand, players may just be lacking the right playstyle to win.
Now it is official. The first raid of The Division 2 will not offer matchmaking. This is how the developers explain this design decision.
This announcement sparked numerous heated debates: Since yesterday, May 14th, there are many confused fans of The Division 2. The reason for this was a tweet from a marketing manager at Ubisoft. In this announcement, in response to an explicit inquiry from a fan, the upcoming raid “Operation: Dark Hours” will not offer matchmaking. This not only led to numerous question marks but also to various angry reactions.
Why the confusion? In principle, all activities in The Division 2 are supposed to offer player searching. Massive has emphasized this multiple times, and this statement is also recorded in official information materials about the game. Hardly anyone could imagine or understand that it should be different in the long-awaited raid – especially in the most challenging group activity.
This is how Massive justifies this decision: Now it is official. The raid will indeed not offer a matchmaking feature – at least not at the beginning. This has been confirmed by Yannick Banchereau, the Live Content Manager of The Division 2, in the current edition of “State of the Game”.
According to his words, this was a conscious decision that was made after numerous internal debates. It was justified by stating that matchmaking in the raid, in the opinion of the developers, could simply not provide a good experience for random groups.
The new raid is supposed to offer an unprecedented experience in The Division. It is not comparable to the incursions from the predecessor. For this raid, one needs to prepare intensively, plan and organize many things in advance – from forming a team to loadouts. Throughout the course of the raid, much will depend on communication.
All of this is extremely important for Operation: Dark Hours. But this is exactly what random teams would lack. These usually enter such activities unprepared, often do not speak the same language, or have other communication issues. For these reasons, they ultimately decided against matchmaking in the raid.
Nevertheless, it is understood that solo players or smaller groups also want a chance at the raid. Therefore, they will closely monitor fan feedback and continue this discussion. Everyone should have a chance at the raid. But at the beginning, when everything is still fresh and waiting to be discovered, they wanted to create precisely that experience – namely without group searching.
Players are supposed to experience the raid as something very special. They should plan, organize, and communicate. All of this is crucial to the special experience that this PvE top activity is supposed to offer.
Everything important about the raid launch: If you want to get started soon or even directly at the raid launch, you can find everything you need to know about the first raid of The Division 2 here.

GO Fest in Yokohama – What do we have from it?

A GO Fest will take place in 2019 in Yokohama
What will be at the event? So far, nothing is known about the special Pokémon at the 3rd GO Fest. A picture is still missing, which the other events already have.
However, it can be assumed that a regional Pokémon will be available to catch, as well as special forms of Unown. Plaudagei is expected to be the regional Pokémon since the other two Regional Pokémon of Generation 4 were already present at the other fests.
