In Fortnite: Battle Royale, everyone is currently keen on the craziest skin. The weird fish head Fish Stick is particularly popular thanks to a new pirate version.
What is the Fish Stick skin?
The Fish Stick skin was introduced in Season 7 and stood out immediately. Unlike the previous skins, which were all somewhat human-like, Fish Stick looked like a fish walking upright with a really silly expression.

The sheer absurdity of the skin made it an instant favorite among the community, and the fish-man appeared in many memes and funny montages.
The new version of Fish Stick is even more popular
What has changed about the Fish skin: The Fish Stick skin is back in the shop and has already been eagerly sought after online. It is available for purchase again in the shop, and with additional features.
This is what the new version looks like.
The little fish man is now available in an alternative version. This is available for all existing owners and new customers of the skin and showcases a quirky pirate version of the outfit. This is well-received, and many users on Reddit have already bought it or are planning to.
Others are even calling for a pirate version of the other Fish skin, Leviathan.
Why is the fish now a pirate? The answer to the job change of Fish Stick lies in the trailer for Season 8. In it, three rival factions meet to fight over a treasure. These are the minions of the Ice King, the ninjas of the prisoner, and a pirate.

And that pirate from the Season 8 Battle Pass has a horde of pirate fish men as crew. Now you have all the skins from the trailer to reenact the battle scene in the game.
How much does the skin cost?
Fish Stick is a rare skin and therefore costs 1,200 V-Bucks. That’s approximately 12 euros. It also comes with a back bling and the alternative pirate skin.
During a livestream, the developers of World of Warcraft confirmed that Patch 8.1.5 will be released on March 13. You can find out here for whom a return to Azeroth with the new content is worthwhile.
What does Patch 8.1.5 bring? In the new Patch 8.1.5 of World of Warcraft, you will be able to play two new races, the Kul Tiran humans for the Alliance and the Zandalari trolls for the Horde:
In addition, a new mini-raid with two bosses will be released, and you will be able to face new enemies in Naga invasions. The Warfront and other small features like micro-holidays are also included.
Are we even going to meet N’zoth himself?
This is worth it for lore fans
The next patch will mainly advance the story of World of Warcraft. The story of Saurfang continues and Sylvanas goes against Baine to strengthen her position. Many other bits might also be interesting for lore fans.
These secrets are in Patch 8.1.5: Two particularly creepy stories and theories make 8.1.5 a feast for lore theorists and fans of the deeper history of the world. Because the new raid apparently has something to do with the Old God N’zoth.
It appears that players will be puppets of the Old God, who has strange plans. N’zoth wants us to win. Why exactly and what he gains from it is still speculation but could be explained in the course of 8.1.5.
This sweet story is told in 8.1.5: Also for lovers of less exciting and more romantic stories, there is plenty to enjoy. From the book “Before the Storm,” which preceded Battle for Azeroth, some players know an unequal couple.
On the side, you will also commit betrayal against another Horde leader. However, the community seems to care little about it since the respective person is not very popular.
You meet a cute couple (again) in 8.1.5.
This is worth it for avid players
Also for fans of the gameplay of World of Warcraft, there is new food. In addition to the new races, it will be easier to level in Patch 8.1.5. So if you want to level up new characters from the new races, you’ll progress more easily.
The new raid itself will also likely be of interest to many players. Even though it only consists of two bosses, it offers a new challenge for both “casual” players and core gamers in mythic mode.
The Crucible of Storms will be the new raid.
When can I play?
Patch 8.1.5 will be playable in Germany on March 13. The patch is already active on the PTR. If you want to test the new patch early, you just need to download the PTR and play there.
In Pokémon GO you can now catch two new monsters that can transform into Ditto. This is the result of Shiny Taubsi and Rattfratz.
Therefore, there is the new feature: With the introduction of Shiny Taubsi and Rattfratz, these Pokémon have also been removed from the Ditto list. So they can no longer become Ditto. This prevents Niantic from letting you catch a Shiny that then becomes Ditto.
However, to prevent the list from getting smaller, there are now two new Pokémon that can become Ditto:
Paras
Bluzuk
Update March 4: Players report that Ledyba can also become Ditto. You now have another chance to catch the shape-shifter.
You can see all Pokémon that can become Ditto in this list:
Ditto is not particularly strong in Pokémon GO. However, it can transform into the opponent’s Pokémon. It uses the move Transform.
You can encounter Ditto everywhere.
You need Ditto for some quests and special research. It is therefore important to catch a Ditto from time to time.
You need Ditto for the Meltan quest: At level 3 of the special research with Meltan, you need a Ditto to complete it.
The Mew quest also has a Ditto catch as a task: Here too, but at level 5, you need a Ditto. You can only complete the quest if you’ve caught one.
You also need a Ditto for the Meltan quest
Possible further quests: Niantic likes to let players catch Ditto for special research. It is therefore quite possible that future tasks will also involve this Pokémon.
This is how you catch Ditto more easily: If you are out with friends, pay attention to each other’s catches. If a player’s Pokémon turns into Ditto, then it is a Ditto for every player.
If you are out alone, pay attention to which Pokémon are harder to catch than usual. If a Hoothoot, for example, breaks out surprisingly often, then it could possibly be a Ditto. Ditto is much harder to catch.
The research breakthroughs for March and April 2019 are known:
In Destiny 2, the Season of the Drifter is coming up. A new video documentation has been released. Our author Schuhmann can’t get past one sentence.
I really like Bungie’s video documentaries.
I imagine Bungie’s headquarters to be a magnificent castle, lying behind thick walls and surrounded by a moat. The people in the town outside the castle go about their daily business, but occasionally they glance at the castle and wonder what goes on behind the walls of Castle Bungiestein.
Occasionally, the herald stands up grandly, in his finest attire, and speaks of the castle walls: “We hear you! This is just the start of a conversation.”
People look up briefly, the herald nods, then retreats, and the people continue with their business.
DeeJ, the herald of Bungie
But occasionally the drawbridge is lowered and the townsfolk are allowed into the castle.
Then they walk through the halls with wide eyes, seeing who is there and what they are doing. That’s then a ViDoc.
The video documentaries are short promotional films in which Bungie employees explain what they envision for Destiny 2, what they plan for the coming months, and what they were thinking.
and Luke Smith, now a sort of “Skywalker”-like figure, who only comes down from his mountain for special appearances, is responsible for the big visions. Now he says, “We are starting to figure out how the roadmap for a Destiny controlled by Bungie could look like.” Heavily loaded with significance, but lacking real substance. Cool.
Luke Smith, the Franchise Director
In this video documentation, I stumbled upon a sentence that really bothered me:
“This is one of the most exciting times. We are starting to build the muscles to make Destiny a fast-reacting live game. And I think from here it will only get better.”
Design Lead, Ryan Paradis
Ryan Paradis, Design Lead
The sentence sounds as if Destiny has only been on the market for 2 weeks and not for 5 years. Now they want to become a cool, “fast-reacting live game” – you can almost hear them whisper “Like Fortnite.”
Since at least 2014, Bungie has known and has said that they
must be a live game that keeps players entertained
For 5 years, they should have been working on becoming just such a “fast-reacting live game.” And from everything we know, Bungie has made great efforts and internal restructuring to become such a game:
They founded the live team
have multiple teams working simultaneously on DLCs
received additional support studios from Activision
recruited community managers from reddit
and much more.
It just never worked before, and it still takes 2 months to fix the smallest issue.
That it is now seriously said in 2019 that they are building the “muscles” for it, meaning to lay the foundation, keeps me restless:
either they have now found a completely new approach, finally identified and localized the crucial problems that have been plaguing them for years
or they have done nothing for the past 5 years and only now it has genuinely become clear to them
or it is simply a sentence they think the townspeople would like to hear right now because it’s somehow trendy

I am definitely curious how this “muscle” that is currently being built will impact the future of Destiny 2. I hope we learn more the next time they lower the drawbridge.
Until then, I hope Bungie hits the gym hard, because they desperately need those muscles.
To start the Open Beta of The Division 2, we have 15 tips for you to help you get started right away.
What you need to know about the Open Beta: The Open Beta gives you the chance to get a glimpse of the huge shared-world shooter and test various content.
So you don’t feel lost in the Open Beta, here are some tips to help you with your first agent steps.
What you need to know about character creation: When you log in, you first need to choose your character. In the Open Beta, this is generated randomly. In the main game, you can create your own character with many customization options.
You cannot carry over your progress and character from the Beta.
Once you’ve done that, you’ll find yourself near the White House. It is being attacked by the Hyenas, one of the hostile factions in Washington D.C.
This is how the combat system works: The Division 2 is a third-person shooter with a cover system. Use your environment for protection, switch cover wisely, and try not to be an easy target.
If you don’t act hastily and don’t run openly into enemies, you shouldn’t have too many problems with the foes.
So: Always stay in cover during combat. Move from cover to cover.
Use Grenades Effectively for Groups of Enemies
A well-placed grenade can be very useful. It can eliminate groups of enemies or at least create chaos and disperse them.
Also, pay attention to red containers in the environment. You can shoot them to blow them up and deal more damage to the enemies.
Problems in Combat? Repair Your Armor
What you need to know about armor: Above your health bar is a white armor bar that is divided into different segments.
Armor additionally protects you in combat but can be destroyed by enemies. If your armor is destroyed, you become vulnerable to further damage and should immediately seek cover.
This is how to repair your armor: If it is destroyed, you can use armor kits to refill the bar and repair the armor. This takes a few seconds, so you should look for a safe position to do this.
Assemble Your Gear
This is how your gear works: In The Division 2, you have a wide selection and freedom in assembling your gear. There are a total of 6 armor slots:
Mask
Vest
Holster
Backpack
Armguards
Kneepads
Each piece has different stats, so optimal assembly is essential. Additionally, your gear can belong to a specific brand.
This is how the weapon system works: In addition to your armor, you will also have your weapons.
You have a primary, secondary, and a handgun. However, you must unlock the secondary weapon first. This can be done at the quartermaster in the White House.
You can choose your weapons from these categories:
Assault Rifles
Marksman Rifles
Rifles
Light Machine Guns
Submachine Guns
Pistols
Shotguns
These weapons differ from each other and are suitable for different builds and situations. So choose wisely.
Unlock Your Secondary Weapon
You can only unlock your secondary weapon via a perk that you obtain from the quartermaster in the White House.
These are perks: Perks give you permanent bonuses. With perks, you can unlock your second skill, more inventory space, or even the secondary weapon.
To unlock perks, you need to pay with SHD tech. You can collect more SHD tech in the Beta and gradually buy more perks.
This is how to get your skills
Skills can be actively used in combat. They mainly serve as support and can have different functions.
This is how to choose your skills: At the White House, you can initially choose two skills at the quartermaster. In the Open Beta, you have access to 4 skills:
Turret
Assault Turret
Sniper Turret
Drone
Bomber Drone
Repair Drone
Seeker Mine
Air detonation
Cluster Mine
Chem Launcher
Firestarter
Combat Foam (must first be unlocked with 5 SHD tech)
All skills have different skill mods that give them various functionalities. For example, the drone can be used offensively or as a repair drone for you and your team. So try everything out to get to know your preferences.
In the tutorial, you can initially choose only one skill and a corresponding skill mod, which costs you one skill point. You can unlock additional skill points by completing missions.
What is currently known about skills and skill mods has been summarized for you:
This is how to find your way in the vast world: Even in the Beta, a fairly large area of the open world is accessible. If you ever don’t know where to go, open your map and pay attention to the symbols.
Main missions, side missions, and all other activities are clearly marked with symbols.
This is the map of The Division 2
Unlock Missions in the Settlement
This is how to unlock the main and side missions of the Open Beta: After visiting the White House, you will be sent to the Theatre next.
This is one of the settlements where civilians have established a new home. There you will meet Odessa Sawyer, who will provide you with more missions.
The Main Missions of the Beta
This is what to expect in the story missions: There are a total of 3 main missions in the Open Beta:
Hotel Grand Washington
Jefferson Trade Center
Viewpoint Museum
Each of these missions takes you to interesting locations in Washington D.C. and has an adjustable difficulty level. You can play them as often as you like to get better loot.
Agent with Chem Launcher
Solo or Team? It’s up to You
All activities in the open world can be completed either solo or in a team. You have the freedom to choose.
That’s why there is also a matchmaking function that allows you to seek assistance at any time.
Visit the Dark Zone
In the Open Beta, the eastern of the 3 Dark Zones is accessible. You unlock the Dark Zone when you complete the “Jefferson Trade Center” mission. Then visit Senait Ezera at the White House, who will introduce you to the Dark Zone.
What is the Dark Zone? The Dark Zone is an area that mixes PvE and PvP. Players can hunt for loot or hunt other players. It aims to provide an unpredictable experience.
In addition to the Dark Zone, after completing the Jefferson Trade Center, 3 specializations with selectable level-30 characters will be unlocked. Log out to choose one of these level-30 agents.
These are specializations: Specializations are part of the endgame, providing special skills alongside individual weapons:
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, leaks have already appeared for more skins, dances, and cosmetics that will soon be available in the shop or through promo actions. Check here to see what crazy new items of Season 8 will soon be in the game.
The highlight of Season 8 is certainly the Battle Pass, which has particularly many cool skins with customization features this time. However, thanks to a datamine leak, we already know that there will be many more new outfits, gliders, pickaxes, back blings, and emotes.

Bandolette
Munitions Major
Carbon-Comando
Hayseed
Sunbird
Mezmer
Hypernova
Sunflower
Bandolette looks particularly cool, the female version of the jungle fighter Bandolier, who has been in the game for a long time. The soldier Carbon Commando, on the other hand, is likely part of a new PlayStation Plus package and is highly anticipated by many fans.
In the category of funny and silly fall Hayseed and Sunflower, two cozy bio-farmers with straw hats and overalls.
The upcoming pickaxes from Season 8

The two farmer skins also have a funny scarecrow and a grinning sunflower.

The Division 2 – Ubisoft’s big
Loot Shooter

There, starting from March 15, 2019, new challenges await you in the fight for order in the disaster-ravaged USA. An open beta begins on March 1.
What’s included in The Division 2?
Fans of loot shooter gameplay from The Division will also get their money’s worth in the 2nd part. It offers a story campaign, a sophisticated loot system with many RPG mechanics such as skills, perks, and equipment.
The game already features the following at release:

You can either play it solo or even embark on future raids with up to 8 players. There are plenty of PvE and PvP activities, and the game will be supplied with further content after release.
Here’s all the information we currently have about The Division 2:
Did you know that Apex Legends was already known before its sudden launch? A leak revealed the entire map and the genre. Back then, no one knew what to make of it. Today, Apex Legends even beats Fortnite on Twitch.
This was the leak: Almost a year ago, Reddit user hiticonic started a thread in the Titanfall subreddit in which he showed a map. The map was an alleged leak for a “Titanfall battle royale game.” Some of the locations are a bit different, but the map otherwise matches the current map of Apex Legends, just rotated 90°.
The thread received 0 upvotes and no support from the community. The few people who reacted mostly did so negatively. Comments like:
I really don’t want this to happen
ThaiMylace on reddit
They better not make a battle royale in their next game
On the left, the map from the leak; on the right, the current map of Apex Legends.
Apex Legends today: After Apex Legends was finally released on February 4, it has become increasingly popular. It is now the largest game on Twitch and has even displaced competitors like Fortnite.
According to the statistical site SullyGnome, Apex Legends is the most-watched game in the last 30 days with over 123 million hours.(As of March 1, 2019) Apex Legends also has the largest number of concurrent viewers and the most average viewers.
The fact that Apex Legends became known as a leak for Titanfall has prompted another user on Reddit to start a discussion. Fubbles22 created a thread that has since received over 56,000 upvotes. The community reacts with amazement and humor. One of the most popular comment chains pokes fun at the players’ reactions back then:
A Titanfall battle royale? Before Titanfall 3 is even announced. Sure, my friend. And of course they’ll throw in a respawn mechanic too. Fool.
Forage67 on reddit
Ha! They’ll probably also bring in the Mozambique, but they’ll NERF it hahahaha
An interesting detail in the discussion is that the original poster hiticonic is now a moderator in the Apex Legends subreddit. Some players are sensing a conspiracy and are determined to get to the bottom of it.
What do you think of the development of Apex Legends?
Apex Legends is set to get even bigger with a battle pass soon:
In Destiny 2, there is new information about the Thorn in Season 6. It seems to have received a new perk.
When is the Thorn returning: During the reveal of Season 6 content , Bungie revealed that the Thorn quest will start on March 12. That is the Tuesday exactly one week after the start of the new season.
Who can get the Thorn? It seems that every player who owns Destiny 2 can obtain the exotic hand cannon for free. Bungie mentions the Thorn in the ViDoc for Season 6 when talking about the content that everyone will receive, even without a annual pass.
However, this infographic causes confusion, primarily listing the annual pass-exclusive content of the new season:
The Thorn quest is listed here on March 12 alongside the Loyalty quest, which can only be played by annual pass holders. And the last two events in the graphic explicitly state that these will be free for all Guardians. The Thorn does not specify this.
Nonetheless, we assume that the Thorn quest will be available for all players – just as Bungie hints in the ViDoc.
Does the Thorn have a new perk?
This is how the Thorn was in Destiny 1: The “Thorn” was one of the best exotic hand cannons in Year 1 of Destiny 1, especially in PvP. It fired bullets that poisoned enemies and dealt additional damage over time. Therefore, it was considered the nastiest weapon, as it could still kill Guardians who were trying to retreat to regenerate.
How will the Thorn be in Destiny 2? Bungie has now released short gameplay footage of the Thorn in Destiny 2, where three enemies are killed with the weapon. With each (precision) kill, the enemies obviously drop a green sphere – this “trick” the Thorn could not do before:
What are these green spheres?
YouTuber Datto shows you the gameplay footage in slow motion (from 6:59). He suspects that the spheres are related to a new perk of the Thorn. In other words, the Thorn may play a bit differently in Destiny 2 than it did in Destiny 1. However, what these spheres do can only be speculated.

Speculations about the spheres: Many Guardians are already discussing the “new Thorn” on Reddit:
One user suggests that the Thorn could heal the user when picking up a green sphere. In the video, the Guardian picks up the sphere after the first kill, creating a screen effect reminiscent of healing effects.
In the video, it can be seen that the Thorn initially looks “normal”. However, after the Guardian picks up the first green sphere, the Thorn begins to glow in front. He speculates that the sphere could activate or possibly enhance the poison.
As seen in the image above, the Knight briefly glows green after being hit. Many see this as confirmation that he was poisoned and that the Thorn will still deal damage over time.
Another Guardian writes that these spheres may have nothing to do with the Thorn but rather with unknown gameplay mechanics. However, most assume that the green spheres are directly related to the Thorn.
What do you think, what abilities will the Thorn return with, and what could the green spheres do?

Since the 8.0 update, there is a feature in Fortnite that facilitates communication with teammates. This is likely related to the success of Apex Legends, the battle royale competitor.
What’s new? On February 28, Fortnite launched into its eighth season with Update 8.0. Now, players can find many new content elements in Epic Games’ colorful shooter, such as pirates, a volcano, and hot geysers.
Also new is a gameplay feature: the revised pinging.
What is this ping system? Previously, you could use the marking option to place simple markers that provided limited information. These markers are referred to as “pings”. This has now changed:
A ping that does not target an object sets the familiar blue marker on the map.
If you ping twice quickly in succession, the marker turns red. This makes it easy to communicate where an opponent is located or where danger lurks.
If you set a ping while aiming with a weapon, it automatically turns red, indicating danger. You don’t need to ping twice.
If the ping is outside the players’ line of sight, this will be indicated with a symbol on the screen and the distance in meters.
Pinging an item or weapon results in a special marker that visibly indicates the rarity and the item.
In the bottom right, you see the weapon marking with weapon type, blue rarity, and meter display.
In the battle royale, you can currently only play in squads of three, making communication with teammates especially important. However, not every player is keen to use their microphone while playing. That’s why such a sophisticated ping system is crucial for success.

Fortnite implements the advantages: It was only a matter of time before other games adopted this feature from Apex. Now you can communicate well with your teammates in Fortnite even without a microphone, showing them weapons, setting waypoints, or warning of enemies just by pressing a button.
YouTuber TmartTn2 demonstrates the marking changes in this video:

How do you set the markers? On consoles, it is the “Left” button on the D-Pad, that is, the arrow keys. PC players use the middle mouse button for this by default. Mobile players can enable the marking button in the settings.
The new feature “Group Assistance” already has its fans:
Bethesda announced that soon brewing and distilling alcohol will be possible in Fallout 76. And already, the community’s dreams of bootlegging and alcohol trade begin. Does alcohol make the online game a better game?
What’s coming? With the upcoming update, you will have the opportunity to get a brewing station and a fermentation vat for your C.A.M.P. With this, you will be able to brew beer, cocktails, wines, and spirits here.
In the Whispering Tavern of Fallout 76, you receive recipes for brewing alcohol from the robot Al.
What do the drinks bring? There are different categories of alcoholic drinks that provide temporary boosts but also drawbacks.
Wines and spirits must first ferment and, when served fresh, provide a “freshness effect” that causes your melee attacks to ignite you, dealing damage to your attackers. If you allow the drinks to age, then the “vintage effect” causes enemies to catch fire from your ranged and melee attacks.
Beers also need to ferment but should be served fresh. Then, stability when using scopes is improved, and you deal more damage to animals. However, precision in V.A.T.S. decreases.
Mixed drinks do not need to ferment and quench your thirst but add the chance of infecting you with a disease with your melee attacks, and they also fill your hunger bar.
To obtain recipes for drinks, you must complete one of two repeatable daily quests for the robot bartender Al in the Whispering Tavern every day.
Your C.A.M.P. in Fallout 76 will house your brewing station and fermentation vat after the update.
Bring beer, bring beer or I’ll fall down…
How is this announcement received in the community? Perhaps with all the criticism of Fallout 76, fans might have expected cynical comments like “Now you can finally get drunk in Fallout 76” or something like that, but this is not the case.
Instead, players are excited and already planning to supply Appalachia with “bootlegged” alcohol. The brewing system is evidently something that many enjoy. Alcohol is making Fallout 76 a more interesting game for some.
DingBingus says on Reddit: “Finally, I can brew. This fulfills my dreams as a bootlegger!”
However, it cannot go without criticism. Some fear that new bugs will come with the brewing system, and others cynically think that the daily quests are meant to ensure that players log into the game regularly.
Zombie__Proof comments: “I can’t wait to see the new bugs that come with the new status effects, as they do not work well with mutations and chems…”
When will the system be introduced? Bethesda will reveal more soon. No date has been announced yet.
The research breakthrough from field research gives in Pokémon GO in March 2019 the chance for 8 different legendary encounters. We show you which ones they are.
What’s new? Niantic already shared information with some selected partners about which encounters from the research breakthroughs in the upcoming months of March and April can occur. Altogether, there are again 8 possible Pokémon.
Which Pokémon can appear? Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Regice, Registeel, and Regirock.
What rewards have there been so far? For the research breakthroughs in January and February 2019, you could encounter Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. So, the legendary birds were exchanged for the Regi Trio.
Keep in mind that the new rewards will only be available from March 1st after 10 PM. So, it’s better to wait a few minutes longer than 10 PM if you want one of the new rewards.
What do players say about the change?
The news quickly circulated on social media.
How breakthroughs were before: In the first months after the introduction of field research, there was a fixed Pokémon as a research breakthrough every month. So, you knew exactly what reward you would get when you had a breakthrough.
Entei was the sole reward for a research breakthrough for one month
That’s different now: Now there is a large selection of Pokémon that appear randomly as rewards. Trainers have a problem with this randomness.
Reddit user ididnothing23 writes: “I would be okay with it if there weren’t the legendary beasts [Entei, Suicune, Raikou]. How many Suicunes does Niantic want to give me?”
To this, tonyharrison84 replies: “Yes, right? The beasts each had their own reward month and have been around since December. We don’t need them anymore.”
There are also less critical voices: Some players are happy to get the chance to encounter certain Pokémon again.
“I don’t have the Regis yet, so this is something.”
“I would prefer only the Regis to be available instead of 8 legendary Pokémon.”
“I was really hoping for just the Regis. Let’s see how chance plays out.”
It is clear that many players would like more variety in the research breakthroughs. However, the current system of randomness seems to need some work to make it more enjoyable for players.
Many find the selection of 8 Pokémon too large. In addition, they wish for an artificial cap so that they do not keep getting the same Pokémon as a reward.
Don’t miss any news: Stay up to date with Pokémon GO and follow our Facebook page!
How satisfied are you with the rewards from the research breakthroughs?
Another player explains that they encountered 8 Suicune in a row during their breakthrough.

Many players are not keen on making this encounter depend on chance. “I’m really not a fan of this random lottery system,” they say. Others say: “Chance doesn’t matter to me, but the variety should be reduced.” They wish for only 4 instead of 8 possible encounters.
There are also less critical voices: Some players are happy to get the chance to encounter certain Pokémon again.

Many find the selection of 8 Pokémon too large. In addition, they wish for an artificial cap so that they do not keep getting the same Pokémon as a reward.

How satisfied are you with the rewards from the research breakthroughs?
In the new Season 8 of Fortnite you can now complete challenges with friends. Many players see this feature as one of the highlights of the new season.
This is the feature: Anyone who has always had trouble completing some challenges in Fortnite now has reason to be happy. In Season 8, you can now use “Group Help” to solve difficult tasks together.
On Reddit, many players are already celebrating the new feature, as it makes completing tasks significantly easier. We show you some reactions and explain the Group Help.
This is how Group Help works
This is what you need to do: To solve tasks together with friends, you must activate Group Help before the round starts. This way, other players from your party can join you in completing the challenges.
What do I gain from it? The weekly challenges in Fortnite are not all easy. Often you need to eliminate a certain number of opponents with a specific weapon.
However, if you are not good at this and are struggling with the task, you can activate the feature and go hunting for opponents with friends. It is definitely easier to eliminate opponents together.
Challenges with weapons can now become easier.
This is how it works: If your friend gets a kill, you will also get credit for the task. Ideally for you, you won’t need to get a kill yourself, and let a friend complete the task instead.
This is what you need to keep in mind: Group Help only works with friends who are already in your party before the group starts. If you are matched with random teammates, you cannot use the feature.
This is what players say about Group Help
On Reddit the feature is being celebrated. Finally, players who are not experts can also complete the difficult challenges. They then have better chances for the bonus star or the bonus banner at the end of the tasks.
Playing with friends is now even better.
Players cheer: So “givemesuck” asks other players:
Can we all take a moment and thank Epic for Group Help? This is a great feature that no one knew was wanted!
His thread received much support. Over 2000 users shared the same opinion. Another player even writes: “This was probably the best addition of the season.”
For this challenge, you probably don’t need friends. You have to visit 3 giant faces:
The Draft mode of FIFA 19 is popular among many players, but it costs coins and does not promise the best rewards. How worthwhile is a Draft really?
This is the FUT Draft: The Draft mode was playable for the first time in FIFA 16. For a fee of 15,000 coins or 300 FIFA Points, you can also participate in the Draft in FIFA 19.
This is how the Draft works: The principle has not changed since its introduction. Overall, you have to play four matches. Whoever loses is out. The more wins (maximum 4) you achieve, the better the rewards.
At the beginning of a round, you can choose a formation that you cannot change afterwards.
At the start of each round, five different formations are available
Now you must select a captain for your team from five proposals. Afterwards, five players will be suggested for each position, from which you can choose one. Here, it is important to find the right balance between chemistry and rating.
Those who want profit must win
These rewards are available: Depending on how far you get, you can receive different rewards. If you lose the very first match, you might only get sets worth approximately 15,000 coins in shop prices. So about three Gold Packs.
If you win all four Draft matches, the rewards look really exciting. Here you can win some of the best packs in FIFA 19. However, even these do not necessarily guarantee profit. You can find the complete lineup in our overview of Draft rewards.
Depending on success, you will receive better rewards
When is the Draft mode worth it? The principle is logical – those who win receive better rewards. But like most players, you will have realized: Even after four victories, you do not necessarily pull a top player who promises the big coin blessing.
This can be extremely frustrating due to the relatively high playing fee of 15,000 coins. After all, as is often the case, it depends on pack luck – because winning there is exclusively packs. The rewards are not even explicitly fixed – you can receive packs worth completely different values at the same reward level.
The Draft rewards in numbers: The FIFA site “fifauteam” has created a database showing the average Draft rewards. It quickly becomes clear: Those who play Draft to fill their coins account will likely be disappointed. The minimum profit you can make is on average almost always in the negative range.
Your minimum profit in the worst rewards scenario with zero wins is -11,200 coins and even in the best case with zero wins only -8,200 coins. A loss compared to the 15,000 coins paid is therefore very likely.
Of course, you can also be lucky and draw an absolute top player from a Gold Pack. However, the likelihood is very low. And even at the following levels, the minimum profit rate does not look good:
Source: Fifauteam
No guaranteed win: On average, a reliable minimum profit of 1,150 coins has only occurred after four victories.
This, of course, does not mean that you cannot make a profit even at earlier stages. However, you should not expect to come out with a big profit at the end of the Draft.
On average, according to fifauteam calculations, a minimal profit of -6,900 coins per Draft round was determined.
Losses are therefore much more likely in the Draft than a big win. Nonetheless, Draft is played a lot – but why?
Despite losses: Draft is fun!
Reasons players like the Draft mode: That the Draft mode is still very popular among many players has several reasons.
On the one hand, it offers the opportunity to finally play with super players for whom you do not have money in regular FUT daily life. After all, selection screens like the following are not uncommon:
You can play with many top players in the Draft
Finally try out top teams: Besides standard cards of absolute top stars, you can also play with event players such as Prime-Icon-Moments Maradona or Future Star Foden. These cards are hardly affordable on the transfer market – in the Draft you can try out such players.
If you are lucky, you can rejoice at the end of the selection session with a team worth 90 and a chemistry of 100. Such a team is hardly achievable for regular players in FIFA 19 in regular mode:
Top teams are not uncommon in the Draft
Players enjoy the thrill: Moreover, the excitement of assembling the team is very popular among players. The player selection is like a little short-term pack opening and promises excitement.
Additionally, there is the tournament character of the Draft mode: No other FUT mode currently offers a comparable knockout system. It is incredibly difficult to score four consecutive victories – and thus particularly appealing.
Ronaldo obviously increases the chances of a Draft victory
This is what the community wishes for: In the FIFA subreddit, there are lively discussions about the Draft mode. Many still enjoy playing the mode, but have wishes for improvement.
Aside from desiring better rewards, people would like:
A guaranteed Draft token when you win four matches. With the Draft token, you can immediately play another Draft round.
Weekly goals that yield a Draft token
A reduction in the Draft price
A kind of friendly Draft without rewards, which can be played for free
“We just want to play”: It becomes clear: It’s not necessarily about the rewards, even if they could be better. Players enjoy the Draft principle, which is also evident in the popularity of tools like the FUTBIN Draft Simulator.
The problem is the high price for a new Draft round – here most want a way to play for less money or by winning Draft tokens non-randomly.

The rating of Anthem is rather poor in tests. The game has been criticized a lot in recent days. However, Leya does not agree with one criticism: For her, Anthem is not soulless.
I often read in articles and hear in personal conversations that while Anthem has a beautiful world, it comes across as soulless. This refers to both the open-world map and Fort Tarsis, the players’ home, where we meet the inhabitants of Anthem.
This is the problem with Anthem: It lives entirely off the moment of its stunning first impression. Once the initial shine wore off, I began to see Anthem as a derivative, buggy, and sometimes annoyingly soulless world that fails to unite BioWare’s unique storytelling with a co-op RPG shooter.
PC Gamer, Steven Messner
I see it differently. For me, there is a big heart with a multifaceted soul at the core of Anthem. This soul is evident in the many loving details that Anthem is brimming with.
In the background lies the head of a sleeping statue. What does it signify and what other secrets does this world hold? What are these strange, organic plants at my feet?
A world without a soul?
After countless hours of exploring Anthem’s world, I simply can’t get enough of it. Yes, not even enough to listen to it. Everywhere I discover caves through which the wind whistles, waterfalls that rush down with a mighty roar, and ruins where bats squeak.
This world continually draws me in, so that I sometimes stop, forget my mission, and simply watch the play of sunlight on my Javelin.
When a storm approaches in Anthem, the wind howls to match the roar of the waterfall.
But those who dig deep and stroll through the world with open eyes will be rewarded with exciting sights.
For instance, I encountered a huge termite mound at dusk, from which a menacing swarm of insects arose and circled around me. The buzzing of the creatures even makes me a bit uneasy.
The dark termite swarm circles around me and buzzes loudly in my ear.
Such details were not necessarily needed for Anthem. BioWare did not have to place this termite mound. Just as a butterfly did not need to be in the home base Fort Tarsis, fluttering around my nose as I walk down the stairs.
The ruins did not have to be filled with mysterious statues that might originate from a past civilization. I wonder what happened there, who might have once dwelled there?
The night sky of Anthem is particularly picturesque.
This is a way to tell a story that speaks through images and for itself. More importantly: It stimulates my imagination and senses.
To function as an action RPG or loot shooter, Anthem did not necessarily need these details. Still, these details are there and make the world breathe, giving it a pulsating soul.
Sometimes a kind of energy stream floats in Anthem.
A story without a soul?
Anthem often hears the criticism that its story does not reach the forefront of single-player RPGs like Baldur’s Gate or Mass Effect.
Even with the story, there is talk that it lacks a soul and is unworthy of BioWare. The reasoning often lies in the studio’s past. In the GameStar review, it states:
We cannot influence the story either. In many conversations, there are dialogue options, but they basically limit to two rather uninformative responses (for example, “Sure” versus “Not really”). In this way, we at most influence the fate of unimportant side characters, but never the course of the actual story. The developers squander the entire story potential because we do not experience a memorable BioWare story in Anthem, but simply a series of rather trivial events.
GameStar, Michael Herold
Anthem is not a typical BioWare game. In earlier games from the studio, the story was clearly in the foreground. Gameplay is merely a means to tell and drive the story forward. There are significant decisions for the player, romances, and a strong linear plot.
Anthem features many charming cinematic scenes that sometimes made me laugh. If you’ve been to this point in Anthem, you know what I mean.
With Anthem, it is exactly the opposite. Anthem is an online multiplayer action RPG with strong loot shooter elements. For such games, longevity is crucial. In this regard, gameplay and the loot spiral play a significant role. The story takes a back seat here and supports the gameplay.
Anthem is more comparable to games like Destiny 2 or, if you will, with the genre-related Monster Hunter World. That is where I also set my expectations for the story.
Anthem offers a deeper story than I expected. I never anticipated the grand epic in Anthem and was nevertheless pleasantly surprised. It may well be that the contact with the NPCs often has no impact on the bigger picture. The story is still open and somewhat vague here and there.
But how I have fallen in love or simply been annoyed by some characters!
I don’t want to spoil anyone, so I won’t go into detail. With the NPCs, I tend to take on the role of the listener; I enjoy listening to them. They speak of losses, fears, love, and war, and are sometimes even shady.
In Anthem, there is hardly a “smooth” character. They are all a bit quirky.
So, there is a man who told me that he himself committed a terrible act to ensure his survival.
A lot of heart and soul must have gone into the backgrounds of the characters. I’m just as crazy about the radio broadcasts consumed by the people in Fort Tarsis as we watch Netflix.
These stories are exactly what give Anthem’s story its soul. If I draw another comparison to Destiny or Monster Hunter World: My hero here doesn’t even have a voice. There is also no grand, epic story. In this regard, Anthem is simply ahead.
Anthem still has some construction sites, but not regarding its soul
There are many critiques with which I completely agree. I also see a significant need for improvements.
My two biggest thorns in the eye are still the technical deficiencies and the loot system, which needs work. The first major loot update for Anthem is already live. When the technical problems will be resolved is still somewhat up in the air.
However, I cannot stress enough that Anthem is just a graphics blender without a soul. I feel the world too much breathe, and I delve too deeply into the numerous small stories and details of Anthem.
I see a lot of potential to expand these hidden little details and make them even more meaningful. I would especially love to see more hideouts in the open world that reveal secrets and new places.
Anthem already has its heart in the right place for me. I am already excited about what is still to come in the future:
There are once again indications that Gearbox might announce the highly anticipated shooter Borderlands 3 at the PAX East 2019 gaming convention. However, fans shouldn’t jump for joy just yet, as there were previous instances where an announcement was expected and nothing happened.
How did this rumor come about? Gearbox itself stated via Twitter that it will be present at the PAX East 2019 gaming convention. The convention takes place from March 28 to 31 in Boston.

There, during the one-hour “Gearbox Main Theater Show,” previously unseen things are expected to be presented, including surprises. Naturally, the community immediately jumped on it and is now hoping for an announcement of Borderlands 3.
It is quite possible that a completely different title will be presented.
Don’t get your hopes up too high
Why should fans remain skeptical? Even though the anticipation for Borderlands 3 is high, skepticism still prevails, which is something Gearbox itself has to answer for.
Before E3 2018, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford dropped mysterious hints that suggested a reveal of Borderlands 3 at the convention. But in the end, the game was not shown.
Also, before the Video Game Awards last December, there were tweets and hints that Borderlands 3 could be shown, which did not happen.
Accordingly, this new teaser should be taken with caution.
How are the players reacting? Discussions about this announcement are already taking place on Reddit. Many fans are getting hyped up again and hope for an announcement, while others mock it and some doubt that Borderlands 3 will be presented.
Quinnyluca writes: “Rule number 1: Don’t get your hopes up!”
In contrast, brandonmcgritle states: “This HAS to be it!”
What could Borderlands 3 be? There is much speculation about the shooter. Can it be played offline? Is Gearbox perhaps leaning more towards Destiny or The Division? How will the ratio between single-player and multiplayer turn out? Maybe we’ll learn more at the end of the month at PAX East… or maybe not.

Contents of The Division 2 Open Beta
This content is available in the beta:
The two main missions that were also available in the Private Beta. They are called Hotel Grand Washington and Jefferson Trade Center. Additionally, there is a new mission called “Viewpoint Museum”, where you will fight against the True Sons.
An Invaded Mission that provides insights into the endgame. You can play it once you have completed the “Jefferson Trade Center” mission. Now log out and choose one of three unlocked level 30 agents. In the Invaded Mission, the Black Tusk attack – an endgame faction that really brings out the big guns.
The three specializations are playable in this Invaded Mission. They include the survival specialist, the demolition expert, and the sharpshooter, each bringing unique weapons and special skills.
Five side missions
The eastern Dark Zone – a PvEvP area. You first need to play a mission to be introduced to the Dark Zone. Once you have completed the “Jefferson Trade Center” mission, you will find the mission with Senait Ezera in the White House.
The level cap is raised to 8. In the Private Beta, it was 7.
There is another skill: The chem launcher, which allows you to shoot flammable gas or sticky foam.
The difficulty has been adjusted in both regular and endgame missions.
Additionally, several bugs have been fixed and improvements have been made. NPC animations have been enhanced and “Agent calls for backup” messages have been reduced.
Is the Open Beta worth it for me?
The Open Beta is worth it for you,
If you want to help Massive ensure a smooth release for The Division 2 by stress-testing the servers now during the beta.
If you want to experience the new main mission in advance, try the chem launcher early, and see how well the performance of the Open Beta is – especially compared to the Private Beta, which had many bugs.
If you want to earn rewards for the main game. These are the rewards you can earn in the beta:
Will progress from the Private Beta carry over? No, you must start a new character. In the Open Beta, you only have pre-made character models to choose from, and you cannot customize the agent’s appearance. That changes in the main game.

The new legendary boss Dialga challenges trainers in arenas of Pokémon GO. We will show you what you need to know to counter and defeat the boss.
Who is it? Dialga is a Steel and Dragon-type Pokémon. It forms the Temporal Trio together with Palkia and Giratina .
How strong is Dialga? As a raid boss, Dialga has 53,394 CP. After capture, it has 2,217 to 2,307 CP. With weather boost, it ranges from 2,771 to 2,884 battle points.
How many trainers do you need? If you have a very strong counter team and have already reached level 40, you could beat Dialga with two people. Weather boosts help a lot in this case. Without such a top team, you should be able to defeat Dialga with 3-7 people if you use counter Pokémon.
The top counter against Dialga – Machoke! Source: PokéWiki
What counters should you use? Dialga is particularly vulnerable to Fighting and Ground-type Pokémon. The top counter is a Machoke with a moveset of Counter and Dynamic Punch.
However, even if you don’t have a Machoke, there are many other strong counters:
Pokémon
Attacks
Machoke
Counter and Dynamic Punch
Throh
Counter and Dynamic Punch
Hariyama
Counter and Dynamic Punch
Groudon (especially strong in sunny weather)
Mud Shot and Earthquake
Lucario
Counter and Close Combat
Toxicroak
Counter and Dynamic Punch
Scizor
Counter and Close Combat
Emboar
Counter and Focus Blast
Rhyperior
Mud Slap and Earthquake
Mamoswine
Mud Slap and Steamroller
Mewtwo
Psycho Cut and Focus Blast
In the following graphic, you can get an overview of the best counters and the base stats of Dialga. The image is shared by Reddit user Kryd0s with the community of TheSilphRoad on Reddit:
How long will Dialga be in Pokémon GO? The new opponent arrives on March 1 at 10 PM in Pokémon GO. This means we will see it in raids in Germany starting March 2. Dialga will remain in the game until March 28.
Trainers are wishing for a special boss to come back:
As announced, Anthem is revising its loot. The update has now been deployed, and we summarize the changes for you.
This is in the patch: In the subreddit for Anthem , developer Bioware has published a brief summary of the changes.
The changes primarily affect the loot in Anthem. The criticism of the gear so far has been that the inscriptions rarely matched the respective item and often provided no benefits.
These are the changes: Strictly speaking, this patch is merely a hotfix. You do not need to download anything; the changes have been applied server-side.
Items will no longer have inscriptions that do not match this specific item. This only affects items you find after the hotfix. Your existing gear will remain as it is.
The Ember costs for Masterwork items have been reduced from 25 to 15. The costs of the other materials have also been reduced.
Work is still being done on a change that was previously announced. Common (gray) and uncommon loot (green) is still dropping even when the maximum level 30 is reached.
This was intended to be changed with the update, but it was not successful. However, this change should follow as soon as possible.
Have you found new loot yet? You can find the best inscriptions in our guide:
A Javelin in Anthem that could be a “Toy Story” figure? That’s quite possible, as a player now presents in a small guide. This is how your Javelin looks like an action figure.
This is shown by the guide: In the Subreddit for Anthem, the player ThirstyWalter1 published a mini-guide that gives you tips on coloring your Javelin. He was inspired by the Disney movie Toy Story and chose the colors so that his Javelin looks like a toy from the film.
What is Toy Story? Toy Story is one of the most popular and successful animated films, revolving around toys that come to life. There are currently a total of 4 parts.
Besides a video, the player shows several color schemes he used for designing his Javelins. This is how you can make your Javelins look like a “Toy Story” toy in 3 easy steps.
Create a Toy Javelin
Step 1: Choose the material “Hardened Plastic” for all parts of your Javelin.
Step 2: Choose 3 colors from the color scheme of the Toy Story movies published by Disney that you want to use.
If you want to choose your own colors, ThirstyWalter recommends selecting colors from this segment:
When selecting colors, ThirstyWalter1 follows these rules:
Choose 2 colors from yellow, red, blue, and white. You can also choose other shades similar to these colors, such as turquoise instead of blue.
Then select a third color adjacent to one of the already selected colors on the color wheel.
As an example, ThirstyWalter1 posted this image:
Once you have completed this, proceed to Step 3: “Sit back and be an action figure in Anthem.”.
Although you cannot recreate a character from the movie with this method, its Colossus could easily pass as a figure from the universe. Players agree on this.
This is what ThirstyWalter1’s example looks like
The right colors for your Javelins
This is how the community reacts: The Toy Story guide received a warm reception on Reddit with over 700 upvotes. The user corruptedstudent even found and published the RGB values for the Toy Story colors there.
These are the colors from top to bottom:
167, 68, 39
250, 199, 146
163, 186, 76
153, 94, 152
230, 63, 63
248, 212, 2
249, 139, 90
234, 79, 73
1, 144, 230
250, 206, 227
The user InfiniteShwifty posted an image of his Colossus modeled after the Toy Story figure Buzz Lightyear:
Many players found the guide so cool that they asked for other possible combinations.
The next day, ThirstyWalter1 published an even more detailed guide explaining the right color choices. You can check out the guide yourself if you are looking for more inspiration.
What do you think? Do you have fun editing your Javelin?
