In week 3 of Season 7 in Fortnite: Battle Royale, you need to slide on zip lines. The task is: Use a zip line in different matches. We show you the locations of the zip lines in Fortnite so you can complete this challenge easily and quickly.
A new week of challenges has started in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It is now the third week in Season 7, providing you with challenges. One of the tasks requires you to use a zip line in 5 different matches. We will show you where you can complete the task on the map.
Where are the zip lines in Fortnite?
Season 7 in Fortnite is particularly cool. There is now a winter biome with frozen lakes and lots of snow. Zip lines are also spread across the entire map.
Where can you find zip lines? The zip lines can be found at Dusty Divot, in the Wailing Woods, Pleasant Park, Snobby Shores, and many other locations. Reddit users Zargothrax and Littlelady90210 have marked the zip lines on the following map.
How to use the zip lines? Simply go to these locations and jump onto the zip line. A magnet will then automatically pull you onto the line. You’ll zip through the air from one place to another.
Why are the lines blue and red? The color differences are meant to help colorblind users see the stripes on the green background. In the game itself, this has no further implications.
How often do you need to slide? The task requires you to slide 5 times. Keep in mind that you need to complete a match naturally for a slide to count. You must either die or win. Simply leaving the round will mean that the sliding will not be counted.
In the Izanami Forge, you now have the opportunity to forge a real top weapon in Destiny 2. We take a closer look at the new firearm and show you why the grind is worth it.
What happened? Since more and more Guardians are unlocking the new Izanami Forge, reports about the new pulse rifle Blast Furnace, which can be earned there, are piling up.
Numerous Guardians rave about this weapon in the highest terms. Many are already sure that it is currently the best pulse rifle in Destiny 2 – for both PvP and PvE. What makes the weapon so special?
The pulse rifle Blast Furnace in detail
How do you get the pulse rifle? To do this, players must first unlock the Izanami Forge – the now third of a total of four forges in the Black Armory.
Then there is a new weapon frame from Ada-1 this week that can be completed there to earn the new pulse rifle. You can see the individual steps in this video from HurleyEffect:

What can the new pulse rifle do? Blast Furnace is a pulse rifle of the “Aggressive Frame” archetype. The weapon is therefore comparable to “Just Imagine“, one of the best pulse rifles in the game so far.

The Blast Furnace fires four rounds in a burst, has very good stability, and excellent range. In its archetype, Blast Furnace is statistically the best of the three weapons.
The weapon performs well in both PvP and PvE and boasts one of the best “Time to Kill” values of the game at approximately 0.73 seconds.
What makes the weapon so special? The special feature of Blast Furnace is the fact that this pulse rifle can kill with just two bursts in PvP under normal circumstances.
At optimal range, a critical hit deals 27 points of damage. Therefore, not all projectiles of the two 4-round bursts need to hit critically. 6 critical hits and 2 body shots are already sufficient.
On the other hand, Blast Furnace has very good stats for the important attributes of stability and range. With various rolls and mods, you can further improve the already excellent base weapon, making it outshine almost all its competitors.
These perks and mods make Blast Furnace even better:
Enhanced Rounds: For example, Blast Furnace can roll with the perk “Enhanced Rounds,” which further increases the weapon’s range and even reaches the maximum value, making it the highest of all pulse rifles. This way, you win almost every one-on-one duel in the Crucible at range.
Because with increased range, the weapon’s damage drop-off starts later, making it more effective and deadly over longer distances. Additionally, aim assist remains active on consoles even over long ranges.
Stable Rounds: Moreover, Blast Furnace can also roll with Stable Rounds, further increasing the weapon’s stability, which can be a significant advantage in PvP, especially on consoles. And the weapon already has excellent range.
Rampage: The Rampage perk also pairs very well with Blast Furnace. Once the effect is triggered, it allows you to take down opponents even easier with two bursts. Additionally, if you have the Rampage Spec mod on the weapon, you can further extend the effect’s duration.
Kill Clip: This perk is a classic, but in combination with Outlaw or Feeding Frenzy, Kill Clip makes the 2-burst kills with Blast Furnace even easier.
Zen Moment: Especially in PvP, this perk should not be overlooked for Blast Furnace. Especially on consoles. This allows you to almost turn the pulse rifle into a laser. Combined with the Counterweight stock, you get a weapon that excels in recoil control.
Depending on your preference, other perks and combinations can also be used.
These mods are recommended for Blast Furnace:
With the Counterweight stock, the weapon’s biggest weakness can be restricted and better controlled – the recoil.
With the Targeting Adjuster, it’s a bit easier on consoles to land the necessary crit shots.
And the Rampage Spec extends the duration of the Rampage perk if you prefer to play with this perk.
Blast Furnace in the video analysis: In this video from Houndish, you get a good overview of the qualities of Blast Furnace.

There is still little information about Halo Infinite. In a stream about Halo 5, the developers from 343 Industries revealed a few tidbits about the shooter.
After 343 Industries presented a Halo trailer for the new Slipspace engine at the last E3, Halo fans are waiting for information about the upcoming Halo Infinite. However, the developers only share information partially and in small bits, as was recently the case in a stream about Halo 5. It was confirmed that Halo Infinite can be played again in split-screen mode.
Developers talk about adjustments and split-screen
This is what the developers said: In the social stream, the Studio Head of 343 Industries, Chris Lee, the Tech Director Berger, John Junyszek from the community team, and Community Director Brian Jarrard faced off against each other in Halo 5: Guardians.
While the focus was mainly on Halo 5, the guys couldn’t resist discussing Halo Infinite in between.
The most interesting information is that Halo Infinite will have split-screen again. Playing with up to four participants in split-screen has been successfully tested with the new engine. The predecessor of Halo Infinite, Halo 5: Guardians, was often criticized for the lack of a split-screen mode.
What else came to light? In addition to the split-screen mode, the developers also talked about other features, especially character customization was in the spotlight:
Black undersuits: The artists are aware of the high demand for undersuits and will implement them in Halo Infinite. It was pointed out that “all parts of the armor that are not made of metal” are meant by these undersuits.
Halo Infinite will have a player customization inspired by Halo Reach. The developers stated that many players loved the customization options in Reach and indicated that fans will enjoy the customization in Infinite.
Players who reach Level 152 in Halo 5 will receive a special reward in Infinite.
The Slipspace engine was developed with a focus on PC, and PC players are expected to feel like “first-class citizens.”
The engine was not completely newly created; some elements from previous Halo games were adopted.
Tests are coming: 343 Industries also plans extensive community tests for Halo Infinite, the so-called “Flighting Programs.” In these “flights,” players will be invited to test the shooter together with the developers.
The “flights” are expected to start small, but more testers will be added over time. These programs will also take place on PC, but probably later than on the console.
Recently, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 introduced armor repair for the Blackout mode. However, some aspects of the feature faced criticism from fans. With the latest update, Treyarch is making adjustments. Here are the changes now.
The armor in Blackout mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has always been a major point of contention within the community. This has not changed even after the introduction of armor repair in Blackout. The developers have been diligently collecting feedback from fans and have now accordingly revised the feature.
Changes to Armor Repair in Blackout – What You Need to Know
How does armor repair work? In Blackout, since update 1.09, you can find armor plates. These are a type of resource with which you can repair your armor during a match.
The plates are distributed like other items in the game world or can be looted from dead enemies. You collect them in your inventory. When you use them, it upgrades your armor by 100 points within two seconds – effectively like a health pack for armor.
What was the problem with armor repair? Numerous fans felt that the time required for repairs was too short. In team play, teams could heal far too often and too quickly.
The durability of the various armor levels was also a major concern for many. Level III armor, being the strongest armor class, was still considered too strong by many. Additionally, fans felt that too many plates could be carried in inventory.
What has changed with armor repair: Treyarch addressed these points of criticism:
The durability of Level 2 and Level 3 armors has been reduced to the level of Level 1 armor. All armors now have the same durability.
Armor plates can now be stacked in the inventory up to a maximum of 5. Previously, you could stack 10.
The time to use a plate has been increased from 2 to 3 seconds.
The damage of the Paladin (Sniper) against armor has been slightly increased. This reduces the number of shots needed to eliminate an opponent with Level 3 armor.
With these changes, players should now be able to destroy enemy armor more often. Armor can no longer be repaired as quickly and frequently.
The usage of armor now takes one second longer. That may not sound like much at first, but in a heated battle, that one second is often crucial. The effectiveness of the various armor levels should now be better balanced.
The developers will also closely monitor the latest changes and make further adjustments if necessary.
For Star Trek Online, there’s a bunch of cool pets and a title for the expansion Age of Discovery. If you play on PlayStation 4, you can get keys for these goodies here.
What can you win? Anyone familiar with the series Star Trek Discovery will surely remember the frightening Tardigrade. It is an abnormally large tardigrade from another dimension. Normally, these creatures are microscopic, but in Star Trek Discovery they are huge and live up to their name “tardigrade”.
This creature turns out to be surprisingly versatile in the series and is eventually affectionately called “Ripper” after it has shredded an entire boarding party of Klingons and various crew members.
The version you can win here is not quite as brutal. You get the Tardigrade as a non-combat pet that will loyally follow you in ground missions. In addition, you will receive the title “Tardigrade Biter”.
100 Tardigrade Pets to Win for PC
What are the requirements? To win, you must perform at least three of the actions specified below.
How are the winners determined? Once you have completed the three actions, the contest widget should generate a code for your pet and the title. However, this will only continue until all 100 codes are used. Legal action is excluded. Good luck!
Attention! The codes are only valid for the PS4 version!
How to Redeem Your Code
If you have won a code, you can redeem it as follows:
Create a Sony Network Entertainment account in PSN (or use your existing Sony Entertainment Network account).
Select the PlayStation Store icon on the home page of the PS4 system and download Star Trek Online.
In the PlayStation Store, select “Redeem Codes” at the bottom of the menu.
Enter the code.
If the code is entered correctly, select “Continue” in the dialog box.
Select “Continue” to complete the code redemption.
Your items should now be available to you in the game.
In the MMORPG A:IR – Ascent Infinite Realm, you will also experience adventures in solo dungeons – and these look very interesting.
New screenshots of the air combat MMO A:IR now show some of these dungeons and the creatures awaiting you there.
Pretty Dungeons in A:IR
This is what the dungeons look like: The screenshots showcase some of the dungeons. In these, you will encounter massive monsters, which you must face alone – after all, these are solo dungeons.
What are solo dungeons? In A:IR, you will occasionally venture alone. If you enjoy solo content, you will find several single-player dungeons in the game world that you can enter alone.
Are there group dungeons as well? A:IR is an MMORPG, so group content is the focus. While there are also solo dungeons, you can also try your hand at group dungeons, where teamwork and cooperation are important to defeat the enemies and bosses, overcome challenges, and secure the loot.
https://youtu.be/CWOebkshh9c
How do players react? Fans particularly appreciate the graphics of the game. However, voices are also heard in the official forum questioning the purpose of solo dungeons in an MMORPG. Players wish that the developers focus on group content.
When does A:IR launch? The closed beta of the game, which was originally planned for 2018 here, will no longer take place this year. A new date has not yet been announced. However, this also means that the beta will not start until 2019 and the release will be correspondingly delayed. Nonetheless, it is likely that Ascent: Infinite Realm will officially launch in 2019.
The online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2, Red Dead Online, has received a subtle Christmas update. Festive saloon music awaits you.
In many games, Christmas events are starting right now, providing players with gifts and bonuses. In Red Dead Online, a rather inconspicuous update has been activated.
What’s new? The pianists in the saloons of Red Dead Online have dusted off the old sheet music and are now playing festive songs.
Christmas songs across the map of Red Dead Online
On social networks, players are reporting that they hear Christmas music on the map of Red Dead Online. In the saloons, you can hear songs like Jingle Bells, Silent Night, Deck the Halls, and many more.
Video presents all Christmas songs: The YouTube video by Tony StrongStyle shows an overview of the various songs that are now played in Red Dead Online.

This creates a friendly Christmas atmosphere in many places in the game. While players shoot each other in duels on the streets, they get into the Christmas spirit in the saloon with festive music. This is sure to please this player, who is wandering through Red Dead Online as Santa Claus, distributing gifts.
What do the players say? More and more videos of the Christmas songs in Red Dead Online are appearing on Reddit and Twitter. One user writes, “Even though there’s no snow on the entire map, the pianists have found a way to share their Christmas spirit.”
How players enjoy the songs: Overall, the opinion on this update is positive. User AnadyranTontine writes that he actually hates Christmas music. But these songs in Red Dead Online put a big grin on his face.
Apparently, the Christmas songs are not just played on the piano. Player CheeseForPeas writes: “The banjo guy in Rhodes also played Christmas songs today. Put me in the Christmas spirit for my killing spree.”
Player dominikbalotelli writes that he listened to the pianist for half an hour when he was playing in Valentine. It would have been too good not to listen.
Players wish for snow: It would be a nice addition if it snowed in Red Dead Online. Some players would wish for that. User ryebreadryan writes: “I hope we get snow like in GTA Online. At least in the corresponding states.” In GTA Online, the snow event starts in a few hours.
Others point out that there is currently no winter clothing in Red Dead Online, and they would probably freeze to death. So, the developers would first need to distribute warm coats, so that the snow doesn’t negatively affect players.
After there were gifts in the form of free weapons for some classes in Battlefield 5, Medic players were worried that their class was forgotten. However, there will be something for the Medics at Christmas.
What happened? In Battlefield 5, there are gifts already before Christmas. Since yesterday, players can secure two new weapons. The firearms come from the predecessor Battlefield 1 and are available for all fans.
That’s why Medic players were concerned: Players on Reddit are excited about this gift. The two weapons, the Ribeyerolles 1918 assault rifle and the M1897 shotgun, can only be used by the Assault and Supply classes.
Thus, not all classes benefit from this gift. Especially Medics complained that their class once again does not receive enough love from the developers. In their current arsenal, Medics could really use additional firepower.
This is what the developers say: In a Twitter conversation with a fan, DICE stated that they certainly have not forgotten the Medics. A fan asked there whether there will also be something nice for the Medic at Christmas. After all, other classes have received weapons. However, the Medic is currently left empty-handed.
In response, DICE’s Multiplayer Producer, David Sirland, replied with a brief “Yes :)”
What will the Medics get for Christmas now? This is still unknown. Sirland did not go into further details during the conversation. However, numerous Medic players already have enough of the brief response to look forward eagerly to the gift for their beloved class.
Meanwhile, fans already have their own theories about what they might expect. On one hand, new weapons in the form of SMGs are also expected here. After all, there are still some weapons that were discovered through data mining but are not yet in the game.
However, since Sirland did not explicitly say there would be weapons, fans are also considering new gadgets or even abilities as possibilities. Some even hope for an auto-heal function for nearby allies, as seen in some predecessors of Battlefield 5.
Currently, all of this remains speculation, but the gifts for Medics should not take too long to arrive. Whether there will be something specifically for Recon is still unknown.
Some players are currently leveling their twinks from level 110 to 120 in Turbo. World of Warcraft wants to change that and is considering adjustments.
In World of Warcraft, there are currently many ways to achieve the last levels from 110 to 120. Whether through quests, PvP, island expeditions, or the new faction incursions, there are several ways to quickly gain experience. However, this also leads to the exploitation of certain systems that Blizzard did not consider.
Players offer “island level runs”: Those who already have one or two characters at max level are currently leveling particularly fast through island expeditions. The business with small leveling groups is even booming right now.
Two characters team up, both at level 110, with perfect legendaries and amazing gear, and boost a third player to level 120 on Turbo. Since the two “providers” have activated an XP stop, they themselves do not level up, and their gear is always top-notch for the island expeditions.
Since the enemies on the island scale with the personal level, they can comfortably boost the “customer” from level 110 to 120, often in just a few hours.
Blizzard wanted to deactivate level stop: To counter this behavior, Blizzard announced in the official forum that they would deactivate the level stop for players at level 110 and above. This was actually intended so that players could remain in certain phases of low-level PvP and not to halt progress in the current content and exploit mechanics.
Only a few hours after this announcement, Blizzard responded again, stating that they “thought about it again” and would not implement the change for now. The developers are looking for other solutions that would be more elegant.
Change is coming, but when? One thing is clear: Blizzard does not want “turbo leveling,” where 2 players stay at level 110 and bring another to 120. Those using this method should hurry—because Blizzard might find another solution to this “problem” soon.
Have you also been “boosted through islands” to level up quickly? Do you think it’s good and sensible that Blizzard wants to put a stop to it?

The PvP in Fallout 76 is mainly perceived as “half-baked” by fans of player-vs-player battles. However, that is supposed to change in 2019.
Bethesda teases a new game mode for the upcoming year that is likely to be particularly interesting for PvP fans.
PvP is being revamped
What has been announced? The developers explained that a new game mode is currently in the works, where you collaborate in teams – or not – without the previous PvP restrictions. The mode is already being internally tested. It is set to go live in the first quarter of 2019.
What could this mode be? It is rather unlikely that Bethesda will ease the current restrictions in PvP and implement open PvP with full damage throughout the game world next year. However, PvE seems to play an important role here as well, since you will still cooperate with other players.
It’s more likely that there will be an additional “flag” that you can activate, which would directly signal your readiness for “complete” PvP, meaning that your first shot will deal full damage.
There may also be PvP-oriented group events where damage is fully active when you participate.
It could also be conceivable that special PvP servers are introduced. So, if you want to engage in PvP without restrictions, the game would connect you to appropriate servers.
Players are excited for the upcoming year
What are fans expecting? In the official Fallout 76 forum, PvP is a hotly debated topic. The discussions also show that it is difficult to find a middle ground.
Some wish for the complete abolition of PvP restrictions, while others hope that this will not be the case. Still, others believe that PvP servers will come.
What else is coming in 2019? A new update with several fixes is scheduled for mid-January, including for perk cards and duplicated robots. The patch notes are expected to detail changes based on developer notes starting in 2019.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
2019 will be a fantastic year for the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online, according to Creative Director Rich Lambert.
What to expect in 2019? What can fans of ESO expect in the coming year? Creative Director Rich Lambert wrote in a letter to the community that he cannot reveal anything concrete yet. However, ESO will turn five years old, and this should be celebrated accordingly.
The story and the adventures that ESO fans will experience in 2019 are supposed to be something very special due to the anniversary.
When will we learn more? At the beginning of 2019, the team wants to reveal initial information about the upcoming content. Then, fans will slowly be able to piece together the puzzle to find out what the new story will be about.
What’s next?
What could we expect? In January 2017, Zenimax announced the expansion Morrowind, followed by the announcement of the expansion Summerset in March 2018. It is therefore expected that we will see another expansion in the coming year, with an announcement at the beginning of the year.
We might explore more of the Khajiit realm of Elsweyr or perhaps venture beyond the borders of Tamriel.
What does the community want? In addition to new content in previously unaddressed countries of the continent Tamriel, fans are discussing a number of improvements they wish for ESO in the official forum. These are even more important to many than new content. They include:
Performance optimizations
Improvements to the housing editor
Adjustments to enemy respawning
A revamp of the combat system
Improvements to console controls
A new class
At the beginning of the coming year, we will likely learn a bit more about what Zenimax has planned for The Elder Scrolls Online in 2019.

As with the two predecessors Völundr and Gofannon, igniting the Izanami forge is tied to a quest. However, many fans believe Bungie has overdone it with the tasks for the new forge. Some players truly have to push themselves to complete the quest or simply skip it altogether. But why?
Here’s how igniting the new forge works: The quest consists of multiple steps and several visits to Ada-1, the merchant of the Black Armory, in the Tower. In short: You find the forge, realize it is broken, and spend most of your time repairing the igniter.
During this, you need to kill 100 Vex here, take down 20 Minotaurs there, farm a ton of materials, play missions, and visit Ada-1 from time to time. At the end, there’s an even tougher version of the “Terminus of Insight” strike – with a recommended power level of 640, no matchmaking, and guaranteed to kick you to orbit if the entire team wipes.
What’s the problem with the new forge? The quest to unlock the Izanami forge is the most extensive of all forge quests so far.
However, as soon as you tackle the task, you quickly realize: The quest progression is not really creative. This task offers little new content.
Instead, Guardians spend between three and five hours grinding through tedious and monotonous farm tasks, which feel strongly like filler and content stretching. All of this takes place in already known locations with familiar enemies.
Particularly, the strike poses challenges for solo players, as the level requirement is high, there is no matchmaking, and you have to start over if the entire fireteam or you alone dies there.
In numerous Reddit posts, fans are expressing their frustration and disappointment. Many state that they really have to push themselves to even complete this boring and artificially stretched quest line. They certainly won’t put themselves through this on a second or third character. After all, the forge is unlocked individually for each Guardian when ignited.
Many players give up midway through the quest or completely refrain from unlocking the third forge. This type of content provides no motivation to even take on this task. After the two predecessors and with these new steps, the enthusiasm has waned for quite a few players.
Fans are currently discussing: A discussion has arisen in the community about whether the forge quest is really the kind of content players want. On one side are fans saying “You wanted more grind, and here you have it”. On the other side is the majority of players who retort, “Yes, but not like this”.
Playing all three characters, this one unlock quest for a single forge takes between 10 and 15 hours of gameplay. Most of that is monotonous and, above all, essentially pointless grind, which brings little to the player besides unlocking the forge.
No one is forced to play all this content in one go and to unlock the forge immediately. However, when players are told a new forge is live, it can be assumed that many Guardians will want to unlock it right away and start crafting new weapons there.
However, whether such quest design will succeed in exciting the Guardians for this remains questionable for many players. A large portion of players apparently will not put themselves through this on more than one character. And some may not do so at all.
The Christmas event in GTA 5 Online brings you festive outfits, gifts, and snow. It is now also known when the snow will fall.
Every year, players in the online mode of GTA 5 look forward to celebrating Christmas in-game. Instead of wooden sleds, the community pulls out their lowered PS sleds to make the most of the white wonder. Because where snow falls, drifting is a must.
When does the snow come to GTA 5 Online in 2018?
On the official website of Rockstar Games, the developers talk about a special Christmas event this year. Los Santos is preparing for a very special time that starts right now. Gifts will also be distributed if you log in.
This is the day it starts to snow: As Rockstar reveals, it should start snowing in the online world of GTA 5 from this Friday. So get your coolest rides out and put on your winter tires. Or bring out the slicks if you’re looking for an extra dose of fun.
What does Christmas 2018 bring in GTA 5 Online? You can look forward to Christmas vibes in various situations.
Decorated apartments
The festively decorated tree at Legion Square
The popular fireworks launcher
Festive clothing
and a large load of gifts await you
When are these bonuses available? Play GTA 5 Online during the time between Christmas and New Year’s to take advantage of these bonuses. On Christmas Eve, you will receive the first gift, which consists of a Christmas sweater, fireworks, and other items.
Anyone who logs into GTA Online by December 24, 2018, will receive free Pegassi and Vapid T-shirts. You only need to play GTA Online at any time before Christmas Eve.
On the new Community Day for January 2019 in Pokémon GO, everything revolves around the Water Pokémon Croconaw. The date, the shiny form, and the bonuses of the day are shown here.
Next month, the Community Day in Pokémon GO will turn one year old. At the start of the year 2019, you can expect the Water Pokémon Croconaw. This day will also feature additional bonuses that affect egg distance and lures.
Community Day January 2019 – Date and Info
Mark your calendars, because the next Community Day is starting soon.
When does the Community Day in January start? On Saturday, January 12, 2019, it kicks off. The event time, as usual, is from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
GMT+0? In the in-game announcement, Niantic states that the event time in Europe runs from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM UTC (GMT+0). Our time zone is GMT+1, which is why the Community Day will run as usual from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
What bonuses are there?
The distance to hatch eggs in Pokémon GO will be reduced to a quarter
Lures will last 3 hours instead of 30 minutes
Croconaw will appear more frequently in the wild during the event
What special move is available? The special event move can be taught to Feraligatr. It is not yet known what move it is. If it goes as usual, Feraligatr will likely learn Hydro Pump. This attack was also learned by Blastoise.
Move can be learned after Community Day
To learn the special Community Day move, Croconaw must be evolved into Feraligatr during or after the event. Only then will you get Feraligatr with the special move. You will have until one hour after the end of the event during the Community Day in January 2019 to develop your Croconaw.
Shiny Croconaw
Typically, shiny forms of the event Pokémon also appear in-game on such a Community Day. Therefore, we show you a preview of Croconaw, Quilava, and Feraligatr in their normal and shiny forms.
As gained, so lost. Numerous Horde players exploited a bug in World of Warcraft. This now leads to account penalties.
Horde players discovered a significant error in Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance. While battling the world boss “Ivus the Forest Lord”, who appears at Darkshore, a bug occurred. As a result, numerous players were able to loot a lot of items that they weren’t supposed to have.
What happened? When Patch 8.1 went live in WoW a week ago, the Horde could immediately defeat the world boss “Ivus the Forest Lord”. However, this boss had no “loot lockout”. This meant that players could repeatedly kill the boss for a chance at loot. Since Ivus drops three strong items per class, some of which can also be upgraded, some players had a significant advantage.
What penalties are there? Blizzard has since fixed the issue and is taking action against the players who exploited this error. Not only will the looted items be taken away from them, but also the Titan Residuum obtained from the loot, which can be used to buy powerful items. Additionally, the corresponding account will be suspended for a while, depending on the severity and number of repetitions. Those who exploited this bug probably won’t be able to play WoW in the coming days.
Players find treatment unfair: The affected and apparently some uninvolved players find Blizzard’s actions questionable. After all, according to their statements, it is the developers’ fault that the bug even exists.
Players should at most have their items taken away, but no further penalties should be imposed. On the other hand, a large part of the players finds the penalties appropriate. After all, everyone should be aware that such loot behavior can only be a mistake.
What do you think of this incident? Do you find the penalties justified? Or is the fault clearly with Blizzard and the players are just victims?

Fortnite: Battle Royale now receives new game modes daily for the event “14 Days of Fortnite”. One of them is called “Classic” and is ideal for those who are fed up with the current meta.
This is what the new mode is about: The Christmas event 14 Days of Fortnite from update 7.10 introduced the first game mode “Classic”. In this mode, there are only weapons and items from the first two seasons of Fortnite. This is the time before the game became a massive hit, as that really took off with Season 3.
The contents of Fortnite Classic
These features are included in the Classic game mode: First of all, the mode brings back all weapons and items from Season 1 and 2, and only those. So you cannot use vehicles; there are no planes. Turrets are also not included, and those who like the heavy assault rifle or the submachine gun will search in vain for them.
Instead, there are ancient weapons like the tactical submachine gun. It has long been out of the game, but here it is back in. Also, the semi-automatic sniper rifle or the old revolver.
By the way, you always play in Squads mode here; there are no other modes.
What is not included in the Classic mode: If you were looking forward to the old map, then unfortunately you are out of luck in the Classic mode. Because the map is still the same as in Season 7. And Epic has not reversed gameplay changes either.
The Double-Shotgun is also something you will search for in vain. Therefore, the Classic mode is not completely a time travel to the beginnings of Fortnite.
Who is the Classic mode ideal for? Nevertheless, the new mode is likely to find some fans. Because anyone who wants to play a few cozy rounds of Battle Royale without vehicles and especially without planes will surely have a lot of fun here.
How long does the new mode last? Unfortunately, the Classic mode is likely to remain in the game only until the afternoon of December 20th. Starting at 3 PM, the new mode should already make way for another. However, Epic may bring back the Classic mode during the 14 Days of Fortnite, possibly even with the old map!
This is how you get the loot from the first challenge of the Christmas event.
InFortnite: Battle Royale the first fan-designed area has finally been officially established. It will be called Grimy Greens and will appear on the “Block”. The new location is now in the game.
Update: Grimy Greens can now be found in the game. At least until Epic replaces it with a new location from the rotation.
What does the new area look like? The new location in Fortnite is an enclosed area resembling a type of industrial greenhouse facility. The new location has the following highlights:
Dense vegetation inside the greenhouse halls
Cornfields
Flat roofs with many air conditioning units and other structures providing ample cover
Who invented it? The creator of the new area calls himself “Kaancitak”. He is likely the first player to have created an official area in Fortnite.
Where can you find Grimy Greens? Grimy Greens will be located in the northeast of the map, at the spot where the movie theater Risky Reels used to be. There is now “The Block“. Regularly, fan creations selected by Epic are showcased there. Grimy Greens will thus be the first fan creation to have made it into the game.
New area Grimy Greens comes later
When will Grimy Greens arrive? However, Grimy Greens is not yet officially in the game at the time of this news. The new area has been presented, but not yet implemented. Epic has not yet announced a date but intends to do so as soon as possible.
I want to see the new area right now! Well, then go into the Creative mode and use the code 8641-0487-1161 there. This way, you can already visit Grimy Greens and prepare the best tactics and strategies.
What do you think of the new area? Does a huge greenhouse fit Fortnite? Or shouldn’t one have brought one of the many, somewhat well-made Call of Duty maps that have also emerged in the Creative mode?
InFortnite: Battle Royale the first challenge of the “14 Days of Fortnite” event has started today. Here you will learn everything about the new task, the loot, and why you need the Creative mode for it.
What is 14 Days of Fortnite? This is the big Christmas event in Fortnite from Update 7.10, where new game modes and challenges appear every day. So it’s a kind of Advent calendar for Fortnite fans.
What is the first task? Today, on December 19, the first of these challenges started. You need to create a server in Creative mode or join one. What’s the deal with that?
How to complete the 1st challenge in Fortnite’s Creative mode
The wording of the task is: Open a Creative mode server or join one.
It sounds more complicated than it is. Because you really just need to start a match in Creative mode by clicking the large button at the bottom right.
Alternatively, you can also join a server of your friends or any players. A good idea might be a server where the newly introduced new location Grimy Greens can be seen. This location was created in Creative mode and can also be viewed there.
Once you have entered the server, you can log out again and you will receive your reward.
Help, nothing happens when I click the button! Patience, young Padawan. As a warning already indicates, Fortnite’s servers are currently a bit overloaded. Therefore, there may be longer wait times and issues. In our editorial office, it worked after a few minutes, so stay persistent.
What do I get for all this work? The reward from the 1st challenge of 14 Days of Fortnite is a spray paint with a Christmas ornament. It also says “GG” on it.
I want to grab more stuff! Then log back in tomorrow afternoon and see what the 2nd challenge has in store.
Otherwise, you can also try your hand at the tasks from week 2:
The story of Destiny 2 will continue this week with a special cutscene. The MeinMMO community has already commented extensively and discussed what they think of the new development.
The leaks were right once again: Since the weekly reset on December 18, a new cutscene has been live in Destiny 2, which had been unofficially revealed some time ago.
After the Guardians were wondering when the scene would finally be officially visible in the game, you can admire it since this week when you visit the Queen’s Court. Some of you have already had your audience or read our article on the topic and have already been actively commenting.
We want to highlight your comments on the new turn. However, be aware that this is about the story. If you do not want to know what the cutscene is about, you should not continue reading!
The MeinMMO Guardians are already concocting their own theories
This is what the players say on MeinMMO: Many of you have already spoken out in our other posts about the revival of Uldren and this time you haven’t held back either.
While your previous comments in the other articles were more about avenging Cayde-6’s death, the Dark Prince seems to be getting off a bit better this time.
User vvV AmNesiA Vvv, however, still seems to hold a small grudge: “If it were up to me, I would destroy Uldren’s ghost and send him to the afterlife. I don’t like his face and in the end, he is responsible for Cayde’s death. Regardless of whether he can remember it or not. Plead ‘not guilty’ or what? No, he doesn’t belong to us Guardians. That’s my opinion.”
The Loki seems to want to give Uldren a chance: “What if every Guardian was a huge asshole before their Guardian life or a serial killer? What if our character was a huge asshole who is responsible for the deaths of many innocents?”
Yolo Trololo, on the other hand, finds the story appealing: “Cayde said that whoever kills him will become the new leader of the Hunters. And now a ghost awakens Uldren again (who will not remember his previous life afterward). After all, Uldren is a fighter. That’s what ghosts are looking for. I find this turn quite crazy and entertaining. Expectations and the good/evil scheme are not fulfilled at all.”
Cyber appoints himself Uldren’s bodyguard: “He is now a newly born Guardian. One of us. Anyone who does not understand this and wants to harm him would have to be personally taken out by my Golden Gun. Greetings to Callum. #teamuldren #uldrendidnothingwrong”
André Wettinger, however, does not trust Mara Sov: “But story-wise, this is nasty. The Queen cooks her own soup. Since her brother was resurrected by the Traveler, this is not exactly flattering for her. You could say he was assimilated.”
Z3ratul agrees: “I think that Uldren’s awakening as a Guardian is part of the Queen’s plan. I thought I had read that the Queen “manipulated” a ghost that has been looking for its Guardian for centuries and this ghost has now resurrected Uldren.”
Psycheater seems to want to wait and see what Bungie has in store: “I am really curious about what Bungie will make of this incredible story potential.”
You are welcome to continue commenting: What do you believe Bungie still has in store for the story? What would you wish for?
