As in many games, there are also players in Overwatch who are less friendly to their teammates. One of these players, a well-known streamer, is lashing out against the whole community quite crudely.
The news in brief: Pro gamer and streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel is apparently quitting Overwatch. After another ban from the game, he seems to have lost interest and shortly thereafter harshly berates the entire community.
With that, the last bridges are probably burned.
Harsh words against Overwatch
This is the situation: xQc is known for having outbursts during livestreams, especially when playing Overwatch. Even in professional tournaments like the Overwatch League, he has been banned for homophobia.
After his last Overwatch stream, he was banned again, presumably for insults in the chat. Shortly after, he stated that he was “done” with Overwatch.
This is what xQc said now: While streaming Dark Souls 3, he lashed out at the community once more:
Overwatch is the most ungrateful, dogshit, out-of-touch, SJW, “wants everything” quote-unquote, piece of shit community. I am infinitely sad that Blizzard has to deal with such a completely regressive pile of garbage shit community and reform them.

Who is xQc? The streamer xQc himself is a well-known figure in Overwatch and in the Overwatch eSports scene. During the opening season of the Overwatch League, xQc played for the Dallas Fuel team.
In the statement from Dallas Fuel, it was only said that they wished xQc all the best for his future. This led xQc back to Twitch, where he was banned from Overwatch twice since August 2018 for a total of 39 days. xQc was also banned from the league for abuse of the report feature.
He once referred to himself as “the child of the Twitch chat.” This even garnered some sympathy from some commentators in the Overwatch League. However, a large part of the community interpreted this more as an excuse.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, the conflict between Pizza and Burger continues to rage. Now, the Pizza supporters have received help from an unexpected source: the US burger chain Wendy’s!
Fast-food chain streams the destruction of the Fortnite burger joint:On Twitter, the US burger chain Wendy’s announced that it will stand by Team Pizza in Fortnite’s epic food battle. Shortly thereafter, a direct declaration of war was made against the fictional chain Durrr-Burger in Fortnite.
Then Wendy’s made the threat real. In a stream on Twitch, an employee in a Little Red Riding Hood costume (fitting for the red-haired Wendy’s mascot) repeatedly devastated the Durrr-Burger restaurant in Greasy Grove. Over and over again.
But why are they doing this?
Healthy Meat and Marketing
That’s why Wendy’s employees destroy the burger joint: Actually, as a burger provider, Wendy’s should be on the side of Durrr-Burger and fight the nasty Tomato Heads, right? So what is the reason for this aggressive policy against Durrr-Burger?

First of all, Wendy’s adheres to the principle of “Fresh, never frozen.” According to their own statements, they only use fresh meat for their burgers and no frozen goods. But if you look around in the Durrr-Burger joint, you’ll see various freezers!

A sacrilege for Wendy’s and therefore, they could never collaborate with Durrr-Burger. Rather, Durrr-Burger must be destroyed for this sin, which happened multiple times during the stream. Additionally, there was even one game won by the Wendy’s employee.
Marketing campaign becomes a resounding success for Wendy’s: Another reason for the destruction spree in Fortnite is of course advertising. Because Fortnite has millions of players, including many children and teenagers. They are best reached with advertising by playing their favorite game.
During the live stream, several of the over 3,000 simultaneous viewers actually expressed concrete plans to treat themselves to a burger from Wendy’s after the stream.
The Wendy’s Channel on Twitch now has over 7,000 followers and the next cool event from the burger chain on Twitch is already anticipated.
In Monster Hunter World the fourth seasonal event, the Winter Star Festival, is now running. During this time, players can complete all previous event quests and earn new rewards. For these reasons, a visit is worthwhile.
What is the Winter Festival? The Winter Festival is a seasonal event in Monster Hunter World, where there is plenty to do. In addition to some new ones, all previously released event quests will be available. During the festival period, the gathering hub is decorated in a winter style, and NPCs wear different outfits at times.
When does the Winter Festival run? The festival starts today, November 30th, and will be active until December 17th at 23:59. This time it kicks off simultaneously on all platforms, with PC players starting together with Xbox One and PS4 for the first time. Previously, this was not the case, as the PC version was released several months later.
No update needs to be installed, as the Winter Festival was already included in the last update.

The gathering hub ship, the Skybreaker, is decorated for winter.
There is a special background for your guild card.
With the Orion set, there is also new armor that can be colored appropriately for Christmas.
Orion Armor (M):
Orion Armor (W):
What do I need to craft the armor? To craft the armor, you need Winter Tickets. So you must complete the daily bounty quests. In terms of stats, it is not one of the best armors in Monster Hunter World.
Your companion won’t miss out: There is also new armor for your Palico. This makes your companion look like a snowman.
New Hammer, but only for Consoles
This new weapon is unfortunately only available for PS4 and Xbox One: To get the new hammer, you first need to collect certain tickets. You get these by completing a new event quest that is currently only available on consoles.
This is the hammer “Bristly Pincushion”, which means spiky pincushion.
How to get the new hammer: Complete the new quest “Forest Edge Quarrel”. This is a rank 4 quest where you have to take down two Anjanath. Once you have done that, you will receive special tickets as quest rewards, which can be used to craft the new weapon.
Unfortunately, the event weapon is not one of the strongest hammers in the game. With an upgrade, the hammer has the following stats:
Rarity 7
Attack: 1040
Sharpness: Blue
Affinity: 0
Status Effect: 270 Poison, can be increased to max. 330.
New Decorative Armor
What decorative armor does the event bring? As with every seasonal festival, there are new decorative armor pieces that you can unlock. To do this, you must complete the new quest “A Royal Pain” and collect the corresponding tickets.
In this rank 7 quest, you need to hunt a Rathalos and a Rathian.
These decorative pieces are available: Players can finally wear the Wiggler Head with any set. This fun helmet can now be unlocked as decorative armor. Previously, the Wiggler Head was a reward from another event quest, but there it was a real armor piece.
The Dense Eyepatch can also be worn as decoration.
On Twitter, Pokémon GO released a short video. Trainers are now wondering what the new feature could be.
In the four-second video, only a red exclamation mark appears. Pokémon GO writes: “Hmm, what is this?”
The community immediately starts discussing. We will tell you what the mysterious video could be about.
Could it be PvP or Kecleon?
Right now, Reddit and Twitter are buzzing with discussions about the video. But what is behind this video? Trainers keep talking about the still-missing Pokémon Kecleon or the announced PvP feature.
Trainer vs Trainer battles? The first assumptions from the community are about PvP. Niantic announced that this feature will be released in Pokémon GO in 2018. The exclamation mark always appeared on the console when encountering an opposing trainer who wanted to battle.
Trainer brizvela (via reddit) connects the exclamation mark with PvP. He writes: “One can dream” and posts this picture.
On Twitter, the user “goechr_ ” wrote: “I remember that PvP was pushed to the end of the year. It must be this, right?”
Is PvP realistic? Definitely! Especially since Niantic announced PvP for this year. The year is coming to a close, and to bridge the cold winter months, a new feature would generate a lot of interest.
Could Kecleon be involved? The second hot assumption is about Kecleon. This Pokémon from generation 3 is still among the unreleased Pokémon. Its special ability is to blend in with the surroundings. It used to hide in tall grass in the console games. In the background of the exclamation mark, you can see tall grass. So, it could also be related to Kecleon.
Source: Bulbapedia
On Reddit, the user “Dafnex” asked if it could be an invisible Kecleon? The user quickly received a lot of support.
Is Kecleon realistic? Kecleon is a Pokémon from generation 3. Meanwhile, we are deep into generation 4. So, it is time to release the last Pokémon from the previous generations. Also, Ninjatom surprisingly appeared in field research last month. Therefore, it is not out of the question that Kecleon will now be released.
Another image released: Alongside the video, Niantic also released an image on Twitter showing the exclamation mark and a bush. The speculation can continue.
Another image focuses on PvP: Another image shared by Niantic on Twitter shows a battle arena and a trainer. It’s becoming more likely that trainers will soon look forward to PvP.
The new Dota card game Artifact has been playable since November 28, 2018. Shortly after the release, numerous cards are already available for purchase on the Steam marketplace. The prices of some cards are quite steep in comparison.
Axe is the most expensive: The current most expensive card in Artifact is the red hero “Axe”. He is considered a core card in many red decks and is currently available on the Steam marketplace from €19.60 (as of November 30, 2018, at 2:22 PM). Artifact itself costs on Steam €17.95.
Why does a card cost so much?
This is what makes Axe so strong: Axe is a hero card. In Artifact, heroes are sent along different paths (game boards) so that abilities of the corresponding color can be cast on that path. Heroes themselves cost no mana to summon.
Heroes can also attack and destroy towers and opponents on the path. They are generally the strongest cards. Axe comes with strong stats:
7 Attack
2 Armor
11 Health
Armor reduces incoming damage by the specified amount. Therefore, Axe is particularly difficult to kill at the beginning of the game. Additionally, he deals a lot of damage. For red decks, which usually play very offensively, this is a huge advantage.
Why can you buy the card? Unlike most online card games, cards in Artifact are not just collected. By purchasing Artifact, you already receive some standard decks and the corresponding cards.
New cards can be acquired through booster packs or on the marketplace. They can also be resold on the Steam marketplace.
If you want to sell cards, you can offer them for real money in the community. If you need cards, you can buy them on the marketplace and build your decks that way. A selection of decks with ratings is available on the ArtifactFire website.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hx0K98xSa1s
The community is not enthusiastic: The payment system has triggered a lot of criticism in the community on Steam. Many users already describe the game as “pay to progress” and “pay to win”. One user even jokingly wrote:
I am now playing my most powerful card: the credit card!
Although the purchased cards do not really lose value and can be sold again, the system is not well received. As of November 30 at 2:22 PM, Artifact has a “Mixed” rating on Steam with 65% positive votes.
Players especially miss the ability to unlock cards without spending real money. They see potential in Artifact in terms of pure gaming enjoyment but consider the monetization method poor.
What do you think of this payment method? Does it deter you from playing Artifact, or do you still play it?
The SciFi MMORPG Skyforge is getting a new class called “Soundsmith.” This is a bard who blasts enemies away with electric guitars and speakers while delighting friends with buffs.
What can the new class do in Skyforge: As seen in the video, the Soundsmith is a bard. This class exists in many MMORPGs and typically has the role of providing buffs and healing to their allies.
Why the new class is so cool in Skyforge: This also applies to Skyforge, the action MMORPG from My.com. However, the Soundsmith rocks here with an electric guitar and heavy amps instead of plucking a lute or blowing a flute.
In battle, the Soundsmith uses symphonies to literally rock his enemies away. He can also set up speakers to create strong area effects. The Soundsmith is likely to be a versatile support class that deals both damage and buffs.
When is the Soundsmith coming? The Soundsmith will be part of the new update “Distant Frequencies.” It will release on December 11, 2018, for PC, on December 12 for PlayStation 4, and finally on December 13 for Xbox One.
Update Distant Frequencies with a new planet
What else is in the Distant Frequencies update? The new update will introduce a new story, which so far only hints at larger events in the background. There will be a mysterious new planet full of strange beings that you should explore. Along with the new class, Skyforge will deliver quite a bit of new content and may entice more players to the servers here.
Skyforge is more popular in Russia than here: The action MMORPG from Russia still has the majority of its players in its homeland, and it hasn’t gained many fans here in Germany. Interest in the game here is limited, as can be seen by the search volume for the game.
Especially Russia loves Skyforge.
What do you think of the new class? Will you give the new Soundsmith class in Skyforge a (new) chance, or is the SciFi-fantasy mix still not for you?
In Destiny 2, the Season of the Forge started on November 27th. As part of Season 5, the Eververse also receives a lot of cool new items that Guardians can earn or purchase. We summarize the highlights of the Season 5 items in the in-game shop for you.

The Armor Ornaments of Season 5
In Season 5, each Guardian class received two ornaments for selected exotic armor pieces.
Improved Wish: This ornament changes the appearance and paint of the exotic gauntlets Ahamkara’s Spine.
Rigel Crossing: This gives the Hunter helmet Graviton Lance a new look.
Glorious Homage: With the Glorious Homage, the appearance of the Titan gauntlets Doomfang Pauldrons is altered. They now appear a bit more worn.
Risk of the Thanatonaut: This ornament gives the Mask of the Quiet One, an exotic Titan helmet, significant battle scars. The helmet now looks quite battered.
Eyes of Mercury: With this ornament, you can give the Solar Armlets of the Warlocks a look in the style of Osiris.
Matter Flickering: This allows Warlocks to change the appearance of their exotic Lunafaction Boots .
The New Class Sets of Season 5
In addition to new armor ornaments, all three Guardian classes receive new armor sets. The Hunter Set:
The Titan Set: The Warlock Set:
The Coolest Ghost Shells of Season 5
Anyone who values the appearance of their ghost will find a lot to enjoy in the new season. There are a total of 19 new ghost shells – 15 legendary and 4 exotic.
Rust Punk Shell: As the name suggests, your ghost gets a rusty, worn home.
Neon Helix Shell: If you like a neon look, then this shell is just right for you.
Futur I Shell: This shell somewhat resembles the SIVA ghost from Destiny 1.
Sanctuary Armor Shell: This shell is evidently inspired by the architecture of the Dreaming City.
The Most Striking Sparrows of Season 5
Bungie also came up with some special designs for Sparrows in Season 5. There are 17 new mounts, three of which are exotic, 14 legendary.
Near Infinity: This is a particularly futuristic Sparrow model. There has never been a comparable design before.
Burnout: If you want to cruise through the world of Destiny 2 in the style of Ghost Rider, then this sled is just right for you.
The Bronco: If you appreciate the particularly noble look of Tex Mechanica weapons, you will surely also like this elegant Sparrow.
The Highlights of the Ships from Season 5
Ship lovers get 17 new aircrafts as part of Season 5. 14 are legendary, three are exotic.
Unsecured/Uproar: This ship in the Warfare-look appeared in the game files some time ago. But only now do players have the opportunity to earn this spaceship.
ADA-1’s Lone Wolf: This ship is apparently dedicated to ADA-1, the new merchant from the first premium DLC Black Armory.
Ódrerir: As the name suggests, the special design of this exotic ship is inspired by Norse mythology.
The Best Emotes of Season 5
With the start of Season 5, 15 new emotes were also introduced to the game – 4 exotic, 6 legendary, and 5 rare.
Pyrrhic Victory: This animation lets your Guardian ignite signal flares.
We Need to Talk: This allows you to have a real stare-down. All is Well: Even if the table is already on fire – all is well.
S’Mores: With this gesture, you can have your character eat a marshmallow.
In the latest live stream of the shared-world shooter Anthem, there was a first look at the hub Fort Tarsis. You can find the key information from the gameplay here.
On November 29, there was a new live stream for the upcoming online game Anthem. After recent information regarding character customization, this time the focus was on the players’ base.
You will primarily experience Anthem’s story in the hub called Fort Tarsis. It is a city, the only one currently known from the world of Anthem. In the live stream, an early version of it could be seen.
Fort Tarsis, the story and player hub of Anthem
What purpose does Fort Tarsis serve? This city acts as the home for players and various factions. Aside from missions in the open world, you will mainly experience the story there.
The city is expected to continue to expand even after the release of Anthem and offer new things to discover. Currently, it is still in the alpha phase, like the rest of the game. Therefore, Fort Tarsis is not yet finished. Keep that in mind when watching the scenes.
During the stream, the developers also revealed that at the beginning of the story, there is a kind of crisis in the city. Although it is populated and vibrant, initially, there are fewer civilians around.
In the game, this NPC is supposed to be a kind of mentor.
What does the stream show? For the first time, we get a look at the marketplace of Fort Tarsis. It also shows the place where the player can work on their gear and accept missions.
All over Fort, there are collectibles like books or scrolls placed. They provide you with information about the game world and lore of Anthem. The developers confirm: There will be a codex in Anthem, similar to what fans might already know from Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
What is a codex? This compendium contains all sorts of information about the game world that you find while playing. It collects everything you need to know about characters, places, creatures, and factions. You can expand your codex through collectibles and other activities.
A document with information for the codex or also Cortex
First look at factions in Fort Tarsis
The factions of Anthem: In the stream, we also learn that there will be three factions in Fort Tarsis:
The Sentinels: They are a kind of police in Fort Tarsis. They wear blue armor and patrol the streets. They are a type of enforcer there.
The Freelancers: This group apparently includes the player themselves. They take on all sorts of jobs and are likely a sort of mercenary group.
The Arcanists: There is currently little information about the Arcanists. However, there have already been several missions in gameplay where you had to search for members of this faction. They may be something like artifact hunters.
Whether and how to join the other factions has not yet been clarified. What is certain is that you can complete quests for each group and receive unique loot that fits the respective faction.
Anthem shows dialogues with options and voiced character
Your character speaks: The developers showed a dialogue with a quest giver in the game. The female character being played was fully voiced.
In the dialogue, there was always the opportunity to choose between two responses. These differ in content. One option seems to be rather “cool,” while the other appears to be a more neutral variant.
How much you can influence the character and others through dialogues remains to be seen. You should not expect a dialogue system that offers as many responses as, for example, Dragon Age: Origins. When it became known that there would be only 2 options, some fans felt like the world was ending.
Technical issues during the stream: Unfortunately, the stream started an hour late due to technical reasons and also had to be cut short. Originally, they wanted to show gameplay from a mission. However, they plan to make it up soon.
Anyone who wants to watch the live stream can check out the video from YouTuber Arekkz.

The successor to TERA has been announced and a few exciting details revealed. Those with a powerful smartphone can look forward to TERA Frontier.
A few days ago, the publisher Kakao Games, most likely known from Black Desert, announced that they have secured the worldwide publishing rights to a new MMORPG. It is about “TERA Frontier”, a mobile MMORPG based on the original TERA for PC.
What do we know about TERA Frontier? So far not much. It is only known that it is being developed for mobile devices and utilizes the powerful Unreal Engine 4.
That sounds like TERA Frontier will focus on appealing graphics, for which the original TERA was also known at launch.
When is the release of TERA Frontier? A specific release date for TERA Frontier has not yet been provided. Kakao Games has only announced that they intend to release the MMORPG “in 2019,” within the next 13 months. This suggests that development has already progressed quite far.
Will the game also be released in Europe? Nothing is known about that yet. Kakao Games has secured the “worldwide” publishing rights, so there is nothing standing in the way of a release in Germany and Europe. However, this step has not yet been decided.
Who is developing TERA Frontier? The game is being developed by the studio Red Sahara, of which not much has been heard in this country so far. They were acquired by Bluehole and are now part of the new “KRAFTON” project – essentially a new name for Bluehole and the associated developer studios.
Are you looking forward to a mobile TERA? Or do you believe that MMORPGs have no place on a smartphone?
In FIFA 19 four top clubs receive a special jersey each. You can secure them starting now – even in real life.
These clubs receive special jerseys: In total, four clubs receive an exclusively designed special jersey in FIFA 19. These clubs are Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Juventus Turin.
This is what the jerseys look like:
FC Bayern Munich special jersey:
Juventus Turin special jersey:
Manchester United special jersey:
Real Madrid special jersey:
The designs are supposed to reflect various characteristics of the clubs. For example, the Bayern jersey focuses on the stadium anthem “Stern des Südens”, which plays on match days at the Allianz Arena.
Jerseys also in real life
Very popular last year: There was a similar action in FIFA 18, where the four clubs received a special jersey. The Bayern jersey looked like this:
The design excited many fans, and questions arose about a real version of the jersey. However, the special jerseys were only available in digital form in the game.
This year is different: Unlike in 2018, the special jerseys are actually available in real life this year as well. A total of 7000 pieces are available and can be purchased online directly from Adidas or the clubs.

The fan reactions are as follows: Players react quite mixed to the new jerseys. In comments under the announcement trailer, some praise the jersey designs while others criticize them. One user even compares the Juventus shirt to “spilled ice cream”. Many are annoyed that it was these four clubs that received special jerseys instead of other clubs.
Furthermore, it is often criticized that the game should rather be corrected than integrating special jerseys. In the comments, for example, “better servers” are demanded in response to many problems in recent weeks. The gameplay, even after the last patch, continues to be criticized.
Several ways to the goal: If you want the special jerseys for your club in Ultimate Team, there are several ways to unlock the shirts.
Favorite club: The easiest option. If you registered one of the four clubs as your favorite club when starting FIFA 19, you will simply receive the jersey as a gift. It should now be available in your FUT club. Caution: This option only works if you chose the club before November 28.
Weekly objectives: Starting November 30, there will be weekly objectives that allow you to earn the four jerseys. This option was not available last year.
Packs: Of course, you can also simply draw the special jerseys from packs – but only from December 14.
Transfer market: The jerseys are tradable, so you can also obtain them on the transfer market, provided someone is offering them.
The content of MMOs can generally be divided into two main areas: PvE and PvP. We want to know what MeinMMO users prefer. Do you prefer playing with others or against them?
That’s the appeal of PvE: What would major MMORPGs do without raids? Difficult raids and dungeons attract players with the prospect of cool loot, but that is only part of the fun. For raiders, the gameplay in PvE plays at least as big a role as the fancy rewards at the end.
In epic battles against giant monsters, players must together outsmart the new gameplay mechanics and devise a good strategy to ultimately be victorious. And when the boss falls for the first time, that is a really awesome feeling for many.
That’s the appeal of PvP: A large number of gamers also love to compete with others. No matter how good an AI is or how tricky a raid boss, they will eventually become predictable. Players learn their moves and can eventually face them in their sleep.
A real human opponent, on the other hand, can be a true challenge.
Whether in a duel or team plays, you will never experience the exact same fight twice. PvP matches are as varied as the people you play against. Thus, it will never be monotonous. The feeling of triumph at the end of a fight against another person is also all the more satisfying.
Competitive MMO games are therefore popping up like mushrooms.
Irie: I am definitely a PvE player. PvE content has always been the most important aspect of an online game for me. It just feels cool to gradually delve into the raid or other endgame content and come up with strategies that work best for the group. I also find that a raid where everything works optimally and everyone plays their role well just looks beautiful.
Also, I am fundamentally bad at PvP. Pure PvP games are therefore nothing for me.
Sven: I used to enjoy PvP, playing against each other: A lot of Call of Duty and Battlefield. With Destiny, the tide turned.
Since then, I love the PvE in co-op mode with others. Solving missions together with friends is now much more fun for me than competing directly with others.
Jürgen: I am a non-competitive person who enjoys going on adventures with other players. Therefore, I prefer PvE games. I find co-op shooters like Warframe or Borderlands particularly awesome.
However, I often lack time, and therefore I only get to play – if at all – when my buddies are already asleep. That way I can always play a round of Fortnite, which is PvP, but is also a lot of fun.
And now it’s your turn: Are you a PvP or PvE player? Do you prefer to storm the stronghold of a raid boss with an alliance in co-op? Or do you prefer to dismantle other players in PvP according to all the rules of the game? Tell us!
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
A character editor in Red Dead Redemption 2 is currently dividing the community. Are the characters in Red Dead Online just ugly or realistic? Especially the teeth of the characters are under criticism from players.
The online mode of RDR 2 has entered beta this week and is inviting more and more players to test it. They are confronted with a controversial character editor: Are the characters really ugly, are they realistic, or do players simply need to take enough time to create a decent outlaw?
Teeth under scrutiny
Players criticize dental hygiene: The topic that seems to unite all factions of players appears to be the teeth of the characters in the online mode. While some players believe that crooked and yellow teeth contribute to realism, most are not convinced by the options available: there are only yellowed, half-fallen, rotten, or entirely missing teeth.
Players joke that Dutch van der Linde’s gang in the single-player mode seems to have a good dental insurance plan. Because the outlaws of the gang all had quite respectable teeth.
Since the launch of the RDO beta, players have been divided over the character editor of the online mode. While some find everything about the editor terrible, others celebrate the creation tool.
Players find the editor ugly: Some players do not find the editor well-developed or the options too restricted. In their opinion, it is not possible to create good-looking characters.
While all the NPCs look good, the player’s character should stand out uncomfortably in cutscenes. In the opinion of these players, Rockstar should improve the editor.
Players find the editor successful: Again, others celebrate exactly this “ugliness” of the characters. In their opinion, this contributes to the realism of the game. That Rockstar values a realistic world, can also be seen in the game at the horse testicles.
Others believe that you just need to take enough time to create truly unique and pretty figures. In their opinion, players who complain about the editor simply haven’t invested enough time in their character.
On Reddit, players have also provided some user tips for character creation. If you take a little time, you should be able to achieve a good result:
Start with a “clean” base: remove makeup, beards, freckles, etc.
Choose the hairstyle during creation that allows you to see the face well
Some categories, such as forehead and eyes or nose, can still be adjusted manually when you select them
Play around with the individual sliders and remember what they change about your character
If you are satisfied with the appearance of the face, you can add more details: change the complexion and add moles, freckles, and scars as well as makeup or beards if necessary
For clothing, keep only the clothes that you actually choose during creation
What do you think about the editor? Have you created your character yet and are you satisfied, or do you also find the options terrible?
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, top streamer Ninja is disappointed with the bad atmosphere among pro players. The Twitch star wishes for more respect for Fortnite. After all, streamers and pros make a living from it.
This is what Ninja said: In a stream with Ninja and his colleagues DrLupo, Timthetatman, and Chap, the latter complained about the in-game sounds. “I hate them!” was Chap’s statement.
Then Ninja intervened with strong words: “Chap, try not to sound so angry. ‘I hate the sound! I hate it!’ We need more positive pro players, man. I’m glad you brought that up because I’m fed up with all the people who earn a living from the game and make a fortune off it and then say they find the game terrible. You know what, then you don’t have to play it!”
This is how Chap reacted: Ninja’s harsh criticism had immediate success, and Chap admitted that he didn’t mean the “hate” that way and that his phrasing was probably a bit exaggerated. He just meant that the sound could have been better.
Ninja criticizes Myth and Tfue for toxic behavior
These Fortnite pros are also toxic: After the topic was initially raised, Ninja further criticized top players and streamers Myth and Tfue.
This is what Myth said: The popular and controversial streamer Myth drew attention with a tweet in which he demanded that the creator of the turret in Fortnite should be fired. According to Ninja, that was quite rude and impolite, especially for a streamer in his position. Moreover, it’s not just one guy at Epic responsible for an item, but whole teams.
This is what Tfue said: Tfue is one of the best players in the world and a member of the eSports team FaZe. According to Ninja, he often throws shade at the game and labels 90 percent of competitive content as “dog shit.” “I love how all the pros and people trying to compete in this game just hate everything! […] I just don’t get it!”

A response from the criticized players Myth and Tfue is still pending but is eagerly awaited.
What do you think about the matter? Should pro gamers and streamers like the game that makes them rich and famous? Or are such pros actually the perfect critics since they know the game with all its strengths and weaknesses?
The release of the Closed Alpha of Anthem is practically around the corner. We will show you how to register for the alpha to participate in the testing phase and be one of the first to play Anthem.
On the weekend of December 8th and 9th, the open-world shooter “Anthem” will enter its closed alpha phase. Those who want to participate can register on EA’s website. In this post, we will show you what to expect and how the registration process works.
EA and Bioware stated that a testing phase will take place on December 8th and 9th. The special thing about this is that you do not need to pre-order the game to participate.
Who can participate in the Closed Alpha? Everyone can register for the test phase and then hope for luck to be selected. The closed alpha is not tied to pre-orders, EA Access, or Origin Access.
The testing phase has limited spots: You should hurry and register quickly, as the spots for the closed alpha of Anthem are limited. If you don’t get in directly, you will be placed on a waiting list.
How long can you register? Registrations for the test phase are open until the evening of December 3rd.
Then select which platform you want to play on – PC, PS4, or Xbox One – only one is allowed
In the next menu, you should indicate the times when you want to play on December 8th or 9th
There are 4 testing phases, 2 on each day – you can sign up for all or just individual ones
Once you have selected everything, you are registered
Keep in mind that this is not a guarantee of participating in the alpha
How will I know if I was selected? If you are selected for testing, it will be displayed on the playtesting page in your profile. You should also receive an email that will show you instructions for downloading the alpha client.
Why is the website so slow: The demand for this alpha test is expected to be very high. While registering, we noticed that the site sometimes takes several minutes to load a form. So give the registration some time.
Can I share the contents of the Closed Alpha? No. There is a strict NDA. So no posts, no sharing of images, no streaming.
The research breakthrough in December for Pokémon GO brings back all previous legendary research breakthroughs.
What is a research breakthrough? Completing a field research task over seven days gives you the chance to encounter a rare Pokémon in the research breakthrough. In November, this Pokémon was Ninjatom.
In December, trainers have the opportunity to encounter Arktos, Lavados, Zapdos, Entei, Raikou, and Suicune.
Multiple Pokémon in the research breakthrough in December
For the first time, players have the chance to obtain multiple Pokémon from research breakthroughs. Until now, only one Pokémon could be obtained in a month.
In reference to the Community Day: These research breakthroughs are aligned with the Community Day in December. There, too, all previous Pokémon from the past Community Days return.
Can you choose which Pokémon you want? So far, it is not known which Pokémon you will receive in which research breakthrough. It is assumed that chance determines which Pokémon appears as a reward.
Which Pokémon are the best in the breakthrough? Now that there are six different Pokémon in the research breakthrough, the question of which Pokémon are the best arises.
Raikou: Based purely on stats and moves, Raikou is the best Pokémon. It is the second-best Electric attacker in the game and most useful.
Lavados: With Lavados, you get the chance at the best Fire attacker in the game. So, if you don’t have a good Lavados yet, you can hope for the research breakthrough.
Zapdos: Zapdos follows Raikou in the list of best Electric attackers.
New field researches in December: Besides the new Pokémon in the research breakthrough, there are also various new field researches in December. We will only find out what they are on December 1st.
New Shiny and new Pandir: If Niantic stays true to its line, there will also be a new Pandir form in December. Additionally, a new Shiny family could be added. In November, the Shiny family of Raupy was added to the game.
What do you think of the new research breakthrough?
Unfortunately, The Elder Scrolls Blades, the latest game in the successful series from Bethesda, will not be released in 2018. The developers recently announced that the title has been postponed to 2019.
The Elder Scrolls Blades will not be released in 2018: The new Elder Scrolls game for mobile devices was originally scheduled for release at the end of 2018 for iOS and Android. However, in a tweet from Bethesda, it was recently revealed that this will not be met. The Elder Scrolls Blades is expected to arrive in 2019.
Why is the game being delayed? Unfortunately, Bethesda did not provide reasons for the delay. However, you can still sign up for early access on the homepage of The Elder Scrolls Blades.
Mobile game with high-quality graphics
What is The Elder Scrolls Blades? The Elder Scrolls Blades is the latest game in the popular Elder Scrolls series. The title is being released for mobile devices, but is also expected to enable crossplay with PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Virtual Reality. The Elder Scrolls Blades aims to offer an unprecedented splendor of graphics and effects for mobile.
In the game, you explore dark dungeons and mysterious forests. There, you will fight monsters with a sophisticated action combat system and collect loot. However, Elder Scrolls Blades will not offer an open world.
You can find an initial preview report from GamesCom 2018 here:
The Elder Scrolls Online developer Zenimax has announced that changes to racial traits will be made in the future. Players have very different reactions to the announced changes.
Among the players, three camps are forming. Some players are looking forward to the adjustments. Others do not trust Zenimax to make these changes or fear that all races will play the same. The rest of the players are taking a wait-and-see approach.
The racial skills are to be revised
This has happened: Zenimax has announced that the influence of passive racial traits will be reduced. Players should have the option to choose between different passive abilities that best support their current role. The influence of the traits is expected to increase with higher levels.
Despite the changes, each race should still retain its individuality.
What are racial traits? Racial traits grant different bonuses. For example, agile Khajiit have an increased critical hit chance, while High Elves have more Magicka to use abilities.
The players are torn
What do the players think? A player initiated a survey in the official ESO forum, in which 408 players participated. There is no clear trend in the survey results. 40% of players tend to lean negative, while 31% are positive about the changes. 26% find the announcement neutral.
This is criticized:
Some players fear that this will make the choice of race irrelevant, and players will only choose based on appearance.
Since racial abilities have a certain influence on a character’s strength, some players spend quite a bit of money changing their race to maximize their performance in PvP and PvE. This group criticizes the changes especially because it would render their past investments worthless.
Some players criticize Zenimax’s ability to maintain game balance. They do not trust the developer to properly revise the racial abilities. An example is the unnecessary change to the Sorcerer.
This is praised:
Some races have significantly stronger racial abilities than others. For example, High Elves are very good mages, while Orcs bring good passive abilities for PvP in Tamriel. The planned changes could restore balance among the races.
Currently, certain race and class combinations are better than others. Those who want to get the most out of their class are therefore limited to specific combinations of race and class. The changes could lead to new class builds, which would be beneficial for the diversity of the game.
That’s why some players do not care:
Some players believe that races should be chosen independently of alliances to better balance PvP in Tamriel.
Currently, not enough information about the planned changes is known. Consequently, some players are observing and holding back for now.
Some players generally oppose the existence of passive abilities. In their view, it is good if Zenimax reduces the influence of passive abilities.
What do you think of the planned changes to racial skills?

In a new dev blog post, the developers of The Division 2 have finally released new information about the skills. Here are the key details.
It is currently rather quiet about The Division, but there are regularly new updates on the upcoming The Division 2. Developer Massive publishes new information every month in the Intelligence Annex.
The latest entry mainly focuses on skills and their various modifications. First, the blog presents 5 skill categories, with more to come.
5 Skill Categories in The Division 2
In addition to a few old skills like the seeker mine and the turret, there will also be some new abilities. They are divided into five categories.
These skills from The Division 2 have been presented:
Chem Launcher
Drone
Hive
Seeker Mine
Turret
For each category, there are several modifications that function differently. Skills gain various modes of operation that can be offensive, defensive, or supportive with bonuses.
Not all skill mods are freely available: Some modifications can only be selected with the three specializations of The Division 2. Specializations can be chosen after reaching level 30. You can read all the information about the specializations on our site MeinMMO.
The Chem Launcher
The Chem Launcher is a novel skill. It functions similarly to the first aid skill from the first game. You have a kind of hand cannon with which you can target a specific area.
Mods change the effects of your skill. You can influence how the skill works. There are offensive and defensive variants.
These are the mods of the Chem Launcher:
Firestarter – With this mod, you shoot canisters that release a flammable, nearly invisible gas. These clouds can be ignited by projectiles from weapons. Enemies running into the gas cloud can also ignite it.
Riot Foam – You can shoot canisters filled with riot foam. This is a kind of foam that can be used to control crowds. It has already been seen in released gameplay. The foam is sticky and spreads quickly.
Oxidizer – The oxidizer fires canisters filled with corrosive chemicals. The clouds of these chemicals slowly eat away at your enemies’ armor.
Reinforcer – With the reinforcer, you can shoot clouds filled with a kind of repair powder that can restore your armor. Friends and yourself can be healed this way.
The Drone
Another skill that has been newly developed for The Division 2. It flies over your enemies’ heads and can either be supportive or offensive.
This is how the drone mods work:
Striker – An offensive variant. In combat, the drone shoots at your enemies. It can be controlled remotely, allowing you to target specific enemies.
Defender – This drone creates a kind of barrier and protects you from enemy fire. With each hit, the drone loses energy, and it is not protected from enemy bullets. You can also protect other team members remotely.
Tactician – With this mod, the drone flies at the highest possible point above you and acts as a kind of tactical scanner. It shows you the locations of enemies while active. This skill can only be used by the sniper specialization.
Bombardier – You can send this drone to fly over a specific area. It will then rain explosives down on your enemies’ heads.
Fixer – Another skill mod with a defensive benefit. The drone repairs your armor for a certain period. You can send it to a specific location remotely, or select team members as the target for the help. Even their skills, like turrets, can be repaired this way.
The Hive is an experimental technology. Like the drone and the chem launcher, it is one of the new skills in The Division 2. When you place the Hive, automatic mini-drones are released. They can target your enemies or support your team.
This is how the Hive mods work:
Stinger – A swarm of mini-drones attacks everything in their range. They deal regular damage and specifically target weak points.
Restorer – Within their range, the mini-drones can detect when players or team members lose armor. They can then repair the damaged armor as soon as they reach the player.
Booster – A mini-drone is sent out for each team member, which improves weapon handling, movement, and other physical capabilities for a short period.
Reviver – In a specific area, the reviver can revive players. You can specifically send the drones to revive others. If you hold down a certain button, the revival time window accelerates.
The Seeker Mine
Many fans may remember the Seeker Mine from the first game. It has both old and new modifications.
This is how the Seeker Mine mods work:
Explosive – The regular Seeker Mine. It automatically seeks or targets a target on command. It detonates upon contact and knocks your enemies off balance. However, it does not explode immediately, and you can dodge within a short time window.
Airburst – This mine rolls to a certain spot and then causes a large explosion that affects all enemies in the area.
Mender – With this variant, you can distribute repair clouds. They can restore your armor. If you do not select a specific target, the mine automatically seeks out the team member with the lowest armor. This mod is exclusively intended for the survival specialist.
Cluster – The Seeker Mine splits into several smaller variants. They can target multiple enemies simultaneously and detonate among them.
The Turret
Many are already familiar with the turret from The Division 1. However, it gets a few extra mods for the second part.
This is how the turret mods work:
Assault – This turret targets your enemies and deals regular damage. It can rotate 360° and attacks in an area that is closest to the enemy.
Incinerator – This is how your turret works like a flamethrower. It can burn your enemies within a certain range. You can turn it on or off, and the flames can burn multiple enemies at once.
Artillery – This type of turret fires an explosive shot at a location of your choice. Similar to a grenade launcher, you can only fire a single shot at a time, and the projectiles cover a small area. This mod belongs to the demolition specialist.
Sniper – Similar to the assault mod, this turret automatically targets your enemies. However, it shoots semi-automatically, dealing more damage per hit. It also has a greater range.
Pretty much every MMORPG has classes, but usually they are nothing special. However, some online role-playing games have particularly crazy and unique classes. Here we present a bunch of such classes and let you vote on which ones are the best.
The classes in most MMORPGs are often just the same variations of warrior, mage, healer, and rogue. Sometimes there are weird hybrids of the archetypes, but they are rarely really original.
Therefore, it is all the more interesting when a class stands out from the crowd and is truly cool, crazy, or unique. A good example of such a class is the newly introduced Graffiti Artist from Aion. She fights with paint and slows down enemies. Additionally, she is a wonderful group supporter.

Among the unusual classes, there are some that are particularly well done. Therefore, we want to know from you which classes you find particularly cool.
Examples include the Revenant from Guild Wars 2, who channels the souls of famous heroes and has different skills and play styles depending on the soul. In both installments of the game, there is the Mesmer, who drives enemies insane with illusions and doubles. The Dervish from the first installment was also extremely cool, swinging a scythe and using buffs and debuffs to enhance himself further.
In Blade & Soul, on the other hand, the Kung Fu Master is a tank class that negates a lot of damage when you master the complex combos and blocks. A similar gameplay is also required from the Guardian in Lord of the Rings Online. If you prefer something simpler, you can play as a Summoner, who calls a cat to do all the work.
A whole bunch of cool classes can be found in Dark Age of Camelot. There you can summon wild mushrooms as an Animist. Or as a Theurg, spam the enemy with tons of summoned pets.
The Bard in Final Fantasy XIV, on the other hand, is a rather conservative support hero who can actually make and play music with his lute.
Choose your favorite class: But enough of our suggestions. We would like to know from you which classes you find particularly cool. Name them in the comments and we will later create a poll from them. The best classes will then be crowned and honored in a dedicated article.

In a blog post, BioWare’s General Manager explained that there are big plans for Star Wars: The Old Republic. An end seems to be not in sight.
In recent weeks and months, the MMORPG SWTOR has become quieter. While there are still small updates with mini content drops, like the recent new Huttball map, the great content flood is missing.
A bit of hope is now given by one of BioWare’s heads, General Manager Casey Hudson.
What was said? In a blog post, the “November Update,” Hudson also said a few words about SWTOR:
“And even as we prepare for new projects, our team on Star Wars: The Old Republic is hard at work delivering ongoing entertainment – they are developing new worlds and storylines that are among the most ambitious and exciting I have seen from the game so far.”
Community is skeptical: The community of Star Wars: The Old Republic is rather skeptical about these announcements. According to some players, the content flow has significantly decreased in recent months and the quality has also declined.
Many fans hope and wait for a brand new expansion, with a large cohesive story and a nice cinematic. An announcement about this is still pending, which worries the fans. At least the roadmap for fall 2018 is almost completed.
Hope for Mass Effect? But Hudson also gives hope to other franchises, such as Mass Effect. In the letter, he mentions that there are still plans for the future regarding Mass Effect. However, an announcement or concrete reveal of what that might be has not yet been made. So we must continue to wonder if the series has died with “Andromeda”.
What do you think of these words? Is this a hopeful, promising look into the future for you? Or is it just “PR talk” without substance?
