A player of Anthem apparently no longer wants to play the game and is leaving with a bang. He reveals an exploit that made him invulnerable as Storm. Many already know about the Ultimate exploit from the streamer xGladd.
This is what the player says: A player has already described an exploit for the Javelin “Storm” in the title of his post on reddit.
It is possible, when you have filled your ultimate as Storm, to fill your entire shield and energy bar without activating the ultimate. This way, he has infinite hit points and shield points at all times and can hover indefinitely.
Because the Storm ultimate fully heals the Javelin upon activation – but if the ultimate is not consumed, that is a serious exploit.
The player says he has used this exploit endlessly, but did not tell anyone in order to farm gear. Now he is no longer playing Anthem.
The bug has been in the game for two and a half weeks.
xGladd was banned for exploiting an exploit with the Storm ultimate
xGladd said he had only tested the exploit after a user in the chat called out this exploit to him.
The “bomb” that the Reddit user detonates is therefore old hat for most players. The revenge action of the Redditor, who apparently wanted to leave with a bang with this revelation, hasn’t really worked out.
He was banned for using the exploit for two weeks.
What’s behind this: Interestingly, this “Storm ultimate” bug still seems to be in the game, even though it was discussed so publicly in the controversy surrounding the streamer xGladd.
In the discussion about the exploit, many are also wondering why BioWare has not yet responded to this exploit: The Storm ultimate glitch has already been discussed on YouTube and is generally very widespread.
Recently, an item has appeared in the database of Destiny 2 that has given some fans hope for the return of the Gjallarhorn. However, the whole affair seems to be just a joke from Bungie.
That’s why there were hopes for the return of the Gjallarhorn: Clever Guardians discovered a few days ago in the data of Destiny 2 the item “Midnight Special”. What sounded quite unspectacular at first quickly sparked debates among fans.
Some Guardians thus hoped that this item might possibly embody the beginning of a new exotic quest. After all, it wouldn’t be the first iconic weapon from Destiny 1 to make its way to Destiny 2.
Fans eagerly speculated about when and if this item would actually come into the game.
Here’s how to find the item: Since the weekly reset on March 12, the item has indeed been in the game. As part of the Loyalty Quest, the Wanderer sends you to Spider in the Tangled Shore to fetch some Bacon – provided you side with him.
But Spider has much more to offer than just Bacon. The Fallen trader presents you with a whole range of black market goods – including the aforementioned Gjallarhorn item “Midnight Special”.
This is how Bungie troll the Guardians: Apart from the Bacon, the range of goods is likely only there to thoroughly mock the Guardians.
For a large part of the items have either completely outrageous and unrealistic prices or embody materials that no longer exist. Numerous references to Destiny 1 and the early days of Destiny 2 can be found within.
Nevertheless, it remains exciting to see whether anything will progress with the Midnight Special once you have gathered the 20 exotic engrams, or if Bungie will indeed leave it at a joke. Some Guardians may now be disappointed, but they still hold onto the hope that the once most powerful weapon will still find its way to Destiny 2.
Do you also think that Bungie is just playing with the fans’ feelings and has just trolled them? Or do you think there could be more behind it?
Among other things, there are:
a Ghost for 999,999 Glimmer, which sits in a cage and wants to be released. Spider particularly enjoys devouring these Ghosts.
The fake Gjallarhorn, which costs 20 exotic engrams.
A seed ghost, the origin of a War Ghost for a proud 5 Seeds of Light.
A map with coordinates beyond our solar system, which must be paid for with 5 Hermion Bloom Fossils.
The key to the personal quarters of Executor Hideo for 500 Dark Fragments.
A Hadium Flake, a material from Destiny 1 that does not exist in the second part at all.
As most items are not really intended for actual purchase, it is evidently a gag from Bungie, with which they simply wanted to troll the fans and play with their feelings and hopes. The Gjallarhorn will probably not return, as some Guardians hoped – at least not for now.
Nevertheless, it remains exciting to see whether anything will progress with the Midnight Special once you have gathered the 20 exotic engrams, or if Bungie will indeed leave it at a joke. Some Guardians may now be disappointed, but they still hold onto the hope that the once most powerful weapon will still find its way to Destiny 2.
On March 28, there is expected to be an important announcement from the developers of Gearbox. A teaser gives hope that it will be the reveal of Borderlands 3.
What has been announced? On Twitter, developer Gearbox shared a photo on March 12. It shows a street sign that reads in bold “March 28, Boston MA”. Above it is a smaller sign that says “Exit 3”.
The scene is styled in the typical comic style of the Borderlands franchise. This leads to the assumption that the announcement is also related to Borderlands. The small sign with the “3” gives fans hope that the announcement of Borderlands 3 will finally take place this month. Others remain skeptical and suspect it could be trolling again.
Will the Borderlands fans finally be redeemed?
Why March 28? During Pax East, developer Gearbox has a slot in the program on March 28. They plan to show “never-before-seen reveals, exclusives, and surprises”.
What we know so far about Borderlands 3: There is still not much known about Borderlands 3. However, over the past few years, developers have teased small snippets related to this game.
This is what fans say: Players who enjoy the Borderlands franchise have been waiting a long time for the announcement of the big “3”. Accordingly, the reactions from fans are now also very positive.

On Reddit , a user writes: “The exit number is either a big hint or a red herring. I expect a BL1 Remaster announcement for April/May and as a bonus, Borderlands 3 in September.”
Another Reddit user writes hopefully: “The corner in the top right says ‘Exit 3’, so it IS Borderlands 3, right? OR?”
This is why fans believe it’s trolling: After expectations have often been raised in recent years without leading to an announcement of Borderlands 3, there is also some skepticism.
So, the chief developer Randy Pitchford tweeted before E3 2018 clear signs of an announcement for Borderlands 3. Among them, “Today, my to-do list only has 3 things. But I also have 3 meetings scheduled before 3 PM. Is the universe trying to tell me something?”
But at the Game Awards, BL3 was not presented and fans were frustrated. Therefore, skepticism prevails now.
On Reddit, a user writes: “I can hardly wait to see that it will be anything but Borderlands 3.”
Another writes: “They’re announcing 3 remasters: Borderlands 1, 2, and The Pre-Sequel.”
For now, players want to wait until March 28 and see what the announcement really holds. Do you believe in an announcement of Borderlands 3?

Many eyes are currently on “ewokttv” on Twitch. This young Fortnite streamer is captivating thousands of viewers. The special thing: She is deaf and the viewer hears nothing in the stream.
This is why she is so popular: The 13-year-old girl has been boosted in recent days by numerous Fortnite professionals on Twitch. For example, the well-known streamer Timothy “TimTheTatman” Betar hosted her channel, bringing her hundreds of viewers.
The special thing is that these viewers did not just stay for a short time, but she now has consistently over 1000 people on her stream. She continues to maintain this popularity.
This is why the girl is so well-received
This is how her stream goes: The girl herself cannot hear sound, so her viewers are put in the same situation. The only thing one hears are the subscribers coming to her Twitch channel.

How successful is she? Currently, the 13-year-old already has over 2100 subscribers who must have at least one subscription for €4.99. Additionally, she has over 22,000 followers. Some of her clips have already received over 100,000 views.
This is how it should continue: Due to ewokttv’s skills, professionals now want to ensure that she is accepted into the junior program of professional team “SoloMid”. It remains to be seen whether this will happen soon.
This streamer also stands out. She has Tourette’s syndrome and is celebrated on Twitch:
In Fortnite , developer Epic has acknowledged a mistake. A particular skin package was actually exclusive to Nvidia graphics cards, but the skins were sold in the shop. Epic is now planning to make amends.
Where does the information come from? The report comes from a Reddit user who contacted Epic’s customer support. They acknowledged the mistake and promised compensation.
The site Dexerto has confirmed this information from Epic Games, they say.
A special skin package was tied to each of the three bundles:
for the GTX 1060 bundle for €289
for the GTX 1070 bundle for €429
And for the GTX 10700 TI bundle for €479
The promotion is still running with some partners, although prices are now significantly cheaper.
At the time, it was suspected that Nvidia produced too many of these graphics cards to cover the crypto-mining demand but was left with the cards when the hype wore off.
Players felt misled since they were promised that this specific Fortnite skin was exclusive to the graphics cards.
This is the letter from customer support. Source: Reddit
Alternative Skinset for Nvidia Owners Coming
This is what Epic says now: Epic admits to a mistake here. They sold items from the “Counterattack Set” in the cash shop, even though they previously stated that this set was exclusive to the Nvidia bundles.
Therefore, they want to grant all buyers of the Nvidia bundle a new variant of the “Counterattack” skin. Typically, this will take a few days.
After the recent excitement about the Battle Pass of Apex Legends, the developers Respawn have spoken up. On reddit, they announced that the Battle Pass will not launch today, on March 12th, and reminded the players.
What does Respawn say? In a post on reddit, the developers directly addressed the community and fans of Apex Legends. Already in the title it says: “A little clarity on datamining and Season 1” It is about more official information:
Hello friends,
between the datamining and the unintended update to Season 1 on Origin today, there has been much speculation and confusion. Therefore, we wanted to provide a little clarity:
We will release more details about Season 1, the Battle Pass, and the new legend very soon. However, it will not be today.
Many things have been datamined since the release of Apex Legends and are circulating on the internet. We know it’s fun to dig these things up, but you should not treat such information as a source of truth.
Octane was supposed to be the next legend. Is he also one of the leaks that are not true?
This is what datamining is about: Respawn specifically addresses datamining once again. Fans should probably not put too much value on unconfirmed information, as the game files might still be present for various reasons:
Content that was cut because it didn’t fit
Old content that is no longer needed
Some things that are still in development
Respawn urges fans to dismiss any leaks as rumors and only rely on the official information from the developers.
According to Respawn, such leaks should not be trusted.
This is how the community reacts: Most players are disappointed that Season 1 hasn’t started yet. They had expected something to happen today, which ironically is thanks to a leak that mentioned March 12th as the release date.
On the other hand, they thank Respawn for the transparency. Many fans appreciate that the developers at least directly say that they should not expect the update today, March 12th.
What do you think about the update?
Other official news from Respawn are somewhat more positive:
The Showdown series of Red Dead Online is expanding! With “Spoils of War,” a new multiplayer mode is being added to the online component of Red Dead Redemption 2. We will tell you what it’s about.
That’s why Red Dead Online is becoming interesting again: The game has been a bit quiet in recent weeks. Players have requested new content and Rockstar has now delivered.
The new game mode will please many players because it offers epic battles along with many other players. Skill and good teamwork are important.
This is Spoils of War
How does the mode work? In this mode, you have to start from your hideouts.
This way, you and your teammates will loot the enemy’s hideout and bring the loot back to your own hideout. The one who has stolen the most at the end wins.
This is how the new mode is promoted by Rockstar.
How big are the matches? The mode is designed for 2-16 players. You can start Spoils of War even with just one friend.
This means for you: The mode offers you a new gaming experience. You have to protect your own hideout while also playing offensively and robbing the enemies. Good communication within the team is important.
How can I play? There are three ways to start the game mode:
Go to the “Featured Series” field in the beta’s start menu
Click on “Quick Join” in the player menu
Start the mode via the marker “Featured Series” on the map
This is how the mode is celebrated: To make it even more worthwhile to play the mode, there are 20% more XP in all Showdown modes this week.
This clothing is new: In the catalog of Wheeler, Rawson & Co, there are new outfits this week as well. But you should be quick, as they might sell out soon. Starting now:
For some time, fans have been wondering when the first season of Apex Legends might start. Now there is new information from a leak, and it comes from EA itself.
This is what the leak reveals: For a brief moment, a banner for the Battle Pass of Apex Legends was visible on EA’s gaming platform, Origin. This was shared by the player Spliddo on reddit. (via Dexerto) The first season apparently carries the name “Wild Frontier.”
The image shows the new legend Octane. Octane has apparently been confirmed as the next legend for some time – this was also revealed through a leak. The new image now seems to confirm that Octane will indeed become the next playable legend.
Additionally, the price of the Battle Pass has been leaked. Apparently, the Battle Pass will cost 950 Apex Coins. The smallest unit in which this amount of coins can be purchased is 1000 coins for 9.99€. Thus, the pass costs about 9.50€.
After a small data leak from Apex partner AMD, it was mentioned in a tweet that “Tuesday” should bring new content, so today. However, there are no indications of the release on any official Twitter channels of Apex Legends.
Don’t miss any news: To stay updated on Apex Legends, you should subscribe to our Facebook page . We also have a Facebook group for Apex Legends, where you can find teammates and chat with other players.

Hawthorne gives you powerful loot once you gather 5000 Clan XP. By the way, she only has weekly bounties left.
You can now find the Drifter in the Tower’s Annex near Ada-1. Speak to him to start the decision quest. Besides the Power-Leveling Bounties that quickly raise all Annual Pass holders to 640, he also has the weekly bounty “Just Do It” where you can earn a powerful engram.
The Dorn Quest: The Dorn quest starts in the ETZ on Earth. Go to the Trostland area for this.
Run north into the salt mines, enter the salt works, and continue until you reach the broken elevator where you will find a teleporter. Use this.
Once you are teleported, run up the hill until you reach an energy barrier. Stick to the left by the rock wall and jump through the small passage upwards. There you will find an abandoned hideout.
Search the campfire and you will receive the first step of the Dorn quest – a melted metal lump. Now you can use our guide.
At Ada-1 there are powerful weapon frames for the bow, sword, and auto rifle.
Petra Venj is located in the Rheasilvia area of the Dreaming City. You can earn a powerful reward by completing a mission with her. For the Ascendant Challenge and the 8 daily bounties, there are also two more powerful gear pieces on top. Currently, the 4th Ascendant Challenge is active.

The Raid Challenge takes place in the Royal Pools .
The field research in March 2019 in Pokémon GO is the same as in the previous months. Nevertheless, some of them are particularly worthwhile. We will tell you which ones they are.
These are the quests: The field research that we present to you is particularly rewarding. They involve either rare Shinys or strong Pokémon.
In addition, we will give you tips on how to complete this field research in the best way possible.
1. Use 1 item when evolving Pokémon: From this task, you get the chance to catch a shiny Aerodactyl. This Pokémon is particularly rare in the wild, and currently, there is no Aerodactyl in raids. The shiny is therefore particularly rare, and the quest offers you a good opportunity to catch it.
Aerodactyl is also available as a shiny
The quest is even more worthwhile if you have it in your inventory 2 or 3 times. Then you only need to use a evolution item and you can complete all quests at once. Here, the Sinnoh Stone can be effectively used.
2. Use 5 berries when catching Pokémon: If you find this quest, you could encounter a shiny Fukano. Fukano is quite rare in the wild, so shiny versions are relatively few among players.
The quest is best suited if you immediately do a legendary raid right after. There you will probably use berries when catching anyway, and the quest will be completed quickly.
3. Evolve a Pokémon: In this quest, you will encounter a Sunkern or Eevee. The latter is not so interesting, but Sunkern is a very rare shiny.
Shiny Magnetilo can also be found in the quests in March. This could soon evolve into Magnezone.
4. Catch 5 Fighting-type Pokémon: This quest rewards you with a Magnetilo. Outside of the then-current event where shiny Magnetilo was released, there is hardly a chance to encounter this Pokémon.
The quest is best completed in cloudy weather. Many fighting Pokémon come out then, and especially Mankey will help you complete it. But Glibunkel or Machollo are also quite common and useful for the quest.
5. Catch 10 Ground-type Pokémon: This quest is probably the most interesting. Here you get the chance to catch shiny Sandan. This Pokémon is rare outside of events, so shiny versions are highly sought after.
One of the rarest Shinys: Sandan
As a ground Pokémon, especially Schmerbe is a good option. It is quite common and counts for the quest. But you will also encounter Quiekel more often.
6. Land 3 great throws: Here you will encounter a Nebulak. This Pokémon can also be shiny since the Gengar Day but has never had an event. It is therefore very rare.
The downside of this quest is that two other Pokémon, Anorith and Liliep, can also come from the task. However, these could also still be useful for the Meltan special research.
7. Send 2 gifts to friends: Here you will definitely receive a Nebulak, as there are no other Pokémon as rewards.
This is what shiny Nebulak looks like.
8. Land 3 superb throws in a row: This quest is quite tricky, but rewards you with a Larvitar. This can not only be shiny but also evolves into a extremely strong evolution with Tyranitar.
To achieve superb throws, look for Pokémon with large catch circles. These include Pokémon like Pantimos, Makuhita, or even Dialga. Then throw a Nanab Berry to ensure the monster doesn’t move.
9. Win 5 gym battles: In this quest, you will encounter a Lapras, which is not a possible shiny, but this Pokémon is very rare in the wild, and it is advisable to possess a strong specimen.
Chaneira can also be obtained from a quest
10. Hatch 5 eggs: If you complete this field research, you can catch a Chaneira. Both Chaneira and its evolution Heiteira belong to the best defenders in the game.
Make sure to use super incubators as well. They shorten the distance of eggs and help you reach your goal faster.
11. Spin 10 PokéStops or gyms: In this quest, you will not receive a Pokémon but instead 5 silver Nanab Berries. These berries can otherwise only be obtained from Adventure Sync and special research. They are therefore very rare. The berries will help you catch rare Pokémon.
If you are looking for all current field research for March, you will find them here:
The star streamer Shroud had a scooter accident and now has to take a break for a while. He reassures his fans: Everything is fine with his gaming arm. His aiming in Apex Legends should still be good.
What kind of accident was that? The popular Twitch streamer Michael “Shroud” Grzesiek has to take a forced break from streaming. He suffered a serious injury to his elbow in a scooter accident, which now needs to be operated on.
As streaming colleague Just9n explains, Shroud was riding a scooter on a street. He then pulled too hard on the front brake and fell over the handlebar of the scooter, hitting the asphalt. However, he did not land on his right (gaming) arm, but on the left one.
In the accident, he seems to have torn a hole in his elbow and a piece of bone has dislodged from the elbow, which now needs to be reattached.

In another clip (via TwitchTV), Just9n explains that Shroud was going way too fast and wasn’t wearing a helmet. The fall could have turned out much worse.
This is what Shroud says about it: After the accident, Shroud spoke up on Twitter. He writes, “No stream today, blame the scooter for that.” Afterwards, fans asked how Shroud was doing and whether his career was in danger.
Shroud was riding a scooter like this. Source: Nanrobot.com
“Broys, I have an operation on my elbow today. I might be out of action for a while.” Then he adds, “It’s my left arm. Don’t worry, the aiming is still there. The movement might be a bit slower while I recover.

This is what fans feared: Shroud is considered an aiming god, who repeatedly delivers impressive scenes in shooters . Now many viewers were worried that Shroud wouldn’t be able to handle his mouse hand properly anymore, which is used for aiming in shooters on PC. But he seems to have been lucky and only injured his keyboard arm.
In Destiny 2 the new Update 2.2.0.1 is being rolled out today, on March 12th. It fixes a few issues that came with Season 6.
Bungie has announced a fresh update for the MMO shooter Destiny 2. It will go live in the late afternoon and will be accompanied by server downtime.
These are the important times today, on March 12th:
At 4 PM, maintenance will start. Some features of the Companion app will no longer be available.
At 5 PM, Update 2.2.0.1 will be made available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC in all regions. Update: The hotfix is now live. It is around 29 MB and will be downloaded during login.
At 5:45 PM players still in activities will be returned to the login screen.
By 6 PM the servers should be back online.
At 7 PM, the maintenance is expected to be completed. The companion services will be reactivated.
According to Bungie, server downtime is expected. As they just tweeted, it will last from 5:45 PM to 6 PM.
A problem has been fixed where weekly bounties were reset on Sundays instead of with the Weekly Reset on Tuesdays. We reported on the reset issue, which has now been quickly fixed.
A problem has been fixed where the quests from “Misdeeds” and “Broken Neck” in Gambit and Gambit-Prime were not progressing as expected.
In Reckoning, “Prisma” has been removed as a possible modifier due to an issue. A future update will bring the modifier back, but in turn will remove “Glass” from the rotation.
The Misdeed
A problem has been fixed where the “The Best Attack” triumph, which grants you Oxygen SG3, was not counting the correct number of Light Spheres created in Strikes.
A problem has been fixed where some Primordials disappeared in Gambit-Prime.
A problem has been fixed where blockers did not appear in “Kell’s Grave” and “Cathedral of Sorrow”. Bungie will activate these maps again once the issue is resolved.
A problem has been fixed where some Gambit quests and bounties were not progressing correctly.
A problem has been fixed where it was mistakenly announced in Gambit that players’ particles were lost when they were defeated by an opposing invader.
Additionally, a future update, in hotfix 2.2.0.2, will fix an issue with powerful rewards. Currently, they allow for lower level increases than expected. Normally, the progress should slow down starting from 690, but currently, the slow progress is active from 650.
As soon as more patch notes are available, we will add them here.
Starting this evening, you can hunt for the Thorn. The quest steps are already known:
In The Division 2, character creation is significantly more extensive than in the first part. However, agents miss some features.
These features are missed in the character editor: Shortly after the early access launch of The Division 2, one of the top posts in the Division Reddit is a complaint post by a young man. He complains that he feels discriminated against as a bald man.
The character editor does not allow agents to be bald. You can only choose a buzz cut – that is, a very short hairstyle. However, this buzz cut is not the same as being bald, emphasizes the user.
It can’t get any shorter than this
In the comments, most agents respond with humor. One jokes that a bald head would greatly affect gameplay. Because bald agents would have speed advantages, as the lack of hair provides no wind resistance. As a bald man, he knows this to be true.
Others write that they have been bald for years and now face an almost insurmountable decision about which hairstyle to give their agent. The disappointment is immense! Words like “discrimination” and “unplayable” appear in the comments – most certainly written with irony.
Nevertheless, another important feature is still missing, which men must do without: the three-day beard. In addition to the full beard and the mustache, there are six other beard styles, but no three-day beard.
Character Editor – How to create and customize your agent
When you start with The Division 2, the game begins directly with character creation. First, choose whether you want an agent or an agent (this is determined by “Switch Body Type”) – and then you have numerous customization options.
The customization options for the character are:
Appearance: Here you can choose between 12 head shapes, customize the face, adjust skin, eye, and hair color, and adjust hair and beard
Special features: Here you can select scars, facial paint, and tattoos on the neck, arms, and legs
Outfits: Additionally, you can choose a headgear, glasses, a shirt, pants, shoes, and a “patch.”
Agent with facial paint
Especially in tattoos, hair colors, and facial paint, there is quite a lot of choice. However, one is limited in hairstyles and beards.
How to optimize the face: You can extensively customize your agent’s face. Here the game gives you many options for adjustments:
Brow height
Brow depth
Eye line
Eye spacing
Nose width
Nose height
Nose root
Mouth height
Cheeks
Chin line
Ear spacing
Ear size
You can watch all customization options for male and female agents in this video by Arekkz Gaming:

How was it in The Division 1? Character customization in The Division 1 was significantly more limited. You only had 8 face shapes and 5 hairstyles to choose from. Only with tattoos, paint jobs, and piercings could you get a bit creative.
In The Division 2, the character editor is significantly more extensive.
Although the streamer Dr DisRespect Apex Legends is celebrating, he says there is a major downside. PUBG, Fortnite, and H1Z1 would do it better.
What does Dr DisRespect say? In one of his streams, he explains that while Apex Legends is a lot of fun to play, it is boring for the viewer. Other games in the same genre do this much better and entertain the viewers more.

This is what makes Fortnite and Co. better: In the stream, he says that the gameplay of Apex Legends is not exciting. “In my opinion, it’s more exciting to watch Battlegrounds.” He continues that Fortnite and H1Z1 are also more interesting for the viewer.
This game has the same problems: DisRespect then draws an interesting comparison between Apex Legends and a popular title from Blizzard.
It’s a bit like Overwatch. You know, Overwatch is really fun to play, you get hooked quickly. But it’s just terrible to watch.
What position does Apex Legends have on Twitch? The viewer numbers on TwitchTV show that there is a lot of interest in the Apex Legends streams. Many streamers are currently playing this battle royale shooter as their main game, including Dr DisRespect.
Fortnite was at the top of TwitchTV for months, but was surpassed by Apex Legends in February. Now, Fortnite has fought its way back to the top. This might have to do with Dexerto saying that Fortnite has a new season with new content like treasure maps, while everyone is still waiting for the start of Season 1 in Apex Legends.
The ranking of the most popular Twitch games could change with Season 1 of Apex Legends returning the shooter from Respawn to number 1.
Another issue bothering professional streamer Shroud:
The most famous Paladin from World of Warcraft has struck again. Rextroy has released a new video, and this time it’s about the battle between Alliance and Horde… more or less.
This is how the battle went: A new video from Rextroy shows a battle between 40 shamans and 40 paladins in one of the oldest and most famous battlefields of WoW, Alterac Valley. The two full raids clash and fight each other.
At the beginning, there is not much to see from the Paladins’ perspective except for a huge storm of chain lightning and a forest of totems. The whole encounter looks more like a light show of holy rays and elemental lightning.
For about 15 minutes, the two groups fought until the Alliance’s reinforcements (visible at the top of the screen under “Reinforcements”) ran out and the Horde won. Most of the battle took place in the “Zerg” in the middle of the map.

This is how the shamans won: As seen in the info screen at the end, most shamans killed significantly more paladins than vice versa. In Alterac Valley, both factions start with 700 reinforcements, which decrease through player deaths and other mechanics.
If the reinforcements drop to 0, the corresponding faction loses. However, the shamans apparently cheated a bit. As Rextroy writes under his video, there was an agreement that dead players would not release their spirits and rejoin the fight.
The paladins apparently took this agreement more seriously. More players on their side adhered to it, while the shamans eagerly released their spirits. Whether this was really the deciding factor cannot be said; it is merely an observation.
The top players of the round are all shamans.
Who is Rextroy? In the WoW community, Rextroy is well known for consistently creating absurd or funny scenes:
This is why the video: Rextroy himself describes the battle as a “reboot of the class struggle from Classic.” By this, he probably means a video that circulated many years ago, showing how 40 shamans and 40 paladins met in the open field.

The recordings were particularly interesting back then because in Classic only the Horde could choose shamans, and paladins were exclusive to the Alliance.

For a mod to Dota 2, you would expect that mainly Dota players would be excited about it. But currently, more and more Hearthstone streamers are playing Auto Chess. The reason for this is the fast updates that are painfully missed in the card game.
Which streamers play Dota 2 Auto Chess? Looking at the list of top English Hearthstone streamers of the last 365 days, measured by watch time, you will come across names like:
DisguisedToast
Dog
Asmodai
Amaz
Savjz
and Kolento
All six streamers currently play Auto Chess as a side activity or even exclusively. But other well-known Hearthstone names like Hafu, Trump, or Firebat have also recently dabbled with the mod.
This connects Hearthstone and Auto Chess
The two games Hearthstone and Auto Chess are very different in structure. However, they share the strategic approach and a well-functioning ranking system. This probably also adds to the appeal for many Hearthstone streamers.
Auto Chess comparable to Arena: In each round, you are presented with figures in Auto Chess from which you can choose.
Similar to the Arena in Hearthstone, you have to make the best out of what you are randomly offered.
Positioning plays a big role: In Hearthstone, good players pay attention to how they play their creatures. Against certain classes, specific positioning is useful to weaken the mage’s meteor, for example.
Positioning plays an even greater role in Auto Chess. Since the figures attack their opponents or even jump to the other side of the board, they must be positioned accordingly.
What Makes Auto Chess Better Than Hearthstone
Problems with Hearthstone: Many of the initially mentioned streamers have been dissatisfied with Hearthstone recently. The reason for this is a relatively rigid meta and few innovations. Even Blizzard has noticed that their card game is currently struggling with problems.
For many streamers, a new game comes in handy, especially if it addresses issues that Blizzard is responding to too slowly.
Regular updates: Since the release on January 4, there have already been over 60 updates. Although many of them were mainly bug fixes, several useful features were also added.
Useful changes include, for example, improved display options, better statistics for the game figures, and even some new figures.
Additionally, many languages are now supported, including German, French, and Russian.
Good balance and quick adjustments: Many streamers praise the balance in Auto Chess. Regularly, smaller adjustments are made there.
Amaz particularly emphasized in a livestream that, unlike Blizzard, all weak figures receive regular buffs to be useful.
According to Amaz, Blizzard nerfs strong cards far too often instead of improving weak ones.
Streamers in Action at Twitch Rivals
If you want to see some of the mentioned streamers live in action, you can tune in to Twitch Rivals tomorrow and the day after.
What are the Twitch Rivals? At the Twitch Rivals, well-known streamers are invited to compete in a tournament against each other. These duels take place in many different games, including Hearthstone.
In the duel in Auto Chess, a total of 32 streamers compete against each other for a prize pool of $25,000. The participants have since been announced via Twitter:
When do the Twitch Rivals take place? On March 13 and 14, the streamers will duel live on Twitch. The EU duels start at 5:00 PM our time, the American games at 9:00 PM.
If you want to get the mod for yourself, you can find all the important information in this article:

This is the controversy surrounding Diablo Immortal: Upon announcement, Diablo Immortal was not well received by fans. They are eagerly waiting for a new installment in the Diablo series, but had no desire for a mobile game at first.
The core of Diablo fans consists of PC gamers. Many do not want to transition to mobile, associating it with lower quality and cash shops.
The frustration was also related to the timing of the announcement. At BlizzCon 2018, fans eagerly awaited news about Diablo 4. Instead, there was no information provided. Instead, the Diablo panel fully focused on the mobile game Diablo Immortal.
During a Q&A session, an audience member asked whether Diablo Immortal would also be released on PC. The developers stated that a PC version was not in the works, garnering boos from the crowd. That the Blizzard employees then also asked “Don’t you have phones?” quickly became a running gag.

Why it could still be cool: Diablo Immortal is supposed to bring fresh ideas and not rely on features like “Autoplay.” This is a core feature of many Asian RPGs, where characters automatically run while the player does not need to control them.
Developer NetEase has been a partner of Blizzard for 10 years and is not a “typical Asian developer.”
Moreover, Blizzard wants to focus more on mobile games. They will likely not implement this title half-heartedly, as this step with Diablo Immortal is very important for the company. We have explained to you the reasons why this game may turn out better than expected:
Our survey for you: We already asked you in November 2018 whether you would play Diablo Immortal. At that time, the announcement was still fresh, and opinions were heated. Now some time has passed, and some have changed their minds or at least want to give the game a chance. What about you?
Here should now appear a survey. If you can’t see it, just write your answer and reasoning in the comments.
Vote there for your answer and let us know in the comments how you feel about the game and what your reasons for or against Diablo Immortal are.
When Diablo Immortal is released is still unclear. There is hope for a release in 2019. The development looks promising:
Currently, there are four curated weapons available through the new Gambit Prime mode in Destiny 2. However, not many people know exactly what to do to obtain these coveted masterpiece firearms. We clarify.
In addition to new specific armor sets, Gambit Prime introduced 10 new legendary weapons to the game. Four of these are available as what are called Curated Rolls, meaning they are curated versions that can be obtained directly through the Gambit Prime mode.
What are curated weapons? These are special versions of regular weapons. Curated firearms come with fixed, predefined perk sets and are already at Masterwork level 10 with certain stats.
Some of these feature very sought-after perk combinations that can only be obtained with a lot of luck or through lengthy grinding.
How to Get Curated Weapons in Gambit Prime – Here’s What You Need to Do
These are the 4 weapons in question: While there is a curated version for all 10 new Gambit Prime-style weapons, only four of them can be securely obtained through the Gambit Prime mode itself. These are
the submachine gun “Survival Kit”
the sniper rifle “Only Survivor”
the hand cannon “Ration”
and the shotgun “Only One Stands”
Other curated weapons from the Gambit Prime arsenal, such as the scout rifle “Night Watch,” drop in tier 2 of the “Reckoning” mode. For others, no sources are known yet. It is therefore likely that more weapons with Curated Rolls will be added over time.
What do you need to do? Clever players have discovered a system by which these weapons can drop. To achieve this, you need to perform specific actions in Gambit Prime that will reward you with a specific item, known as a Synth.
Each of the different Synth types is tied to one of the total four roles of Gambit Prime and requires specific actions to drop. In each match, you only have the chance to receive one of these special Synths, depending on the role you take on and which task you complete first.
Keep in mind: If you complete a task and receive a specific Synth, you will not receive any other Synths in the ongoing match. So focus on just one task while farming and avoid deliberately completing other tasks “on the side.”
Because when one of the Synths drops for you, you also have the chance for the corresponding Curated Roll – and only for that one. If no curated weapon drops when you receive the Synth, luck was not on your side, and you need to try again in the next match.
By the way: The following methods are likely not the only ways to obtain these weapons. Some players report having apparently obtained them in other ways as well. However, this system is considered proven and has already been confirmed by numerous Guardians.
Submachine Gun “Survival Kit”: This weapon is tied to the Reaper role.
To receive the corresponding Synth, you need to eliminate a high-value target. It is enough to shoot at this opponent. Even if your team finishes the job, this Synth can drop.
When obtaining the Reaper Synth, the curated SMG can also drop for you.
Sniper Rifle “Only Survivor”: This sniper is tied to the Invader role. To receive the corresponding Synth, you need to obtain the “One Man Army” medal.
Specifically, this means you must eliminate all four members of the enemy team while invading. The curated version of the Gambit Prime sniper can also drop.
Hand Cannon “Ration”: For this hand cannon, you must prove yourself as a Collector.
If you want the Collector Synth and the opportunity for Ration, you need to deposit 50 motes during a Gambit Prime match at the bank.
Shotgun “Only One Stands”: For this shotgun, you must take on the role of the Sentinel. To get the Sentinel Synth and a chance for the curated version of the shotgun, you need to eliminate 5 blockers in a Prime match.
Important: You must deliver the killing blow to them. If one of your teammates eliminates the blocker, it does not count towards your progress on the way to the Sentinel Synth.
