The start dates for the big raid “Battle of Dazar’Alor” in World of Warcraft are known. We will tell you when it starts!
Slowly, the PTR of Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance is coming to an end. No wonder, as the update for World of Warcraft will be released next week and expands Kul Tiras and Zandalar with numerous new contents. However, not all parts of the new content will be available immediately. Especially the raid “Battle of Dazar’Alor” will come with a few weeks delay and will not be unlocked right away. Blizzard has now announced the dates for it.
When does the Battle of Dazar’Alor open? As usual, the raid will not be released “in one go”, but in several phases. Especially players in LFR mode will have to wait a while until they can experience all the fights of the new raid.
January 23, 2019: Normal and Heroic opened
January 30, 2019: Mythic and Wing 1 (LFR) opened
February 13, 2019: Wing 2 (LFR) opened
February 26, 2019: Wing 3 (LFR) opened
Why is the raid coming so late? The late release of the raid has several reasons. On the one hand, Blizzard wants to give players enough time to experience the other new content, such as the Warfront: Darkshore. On the other hand, they do not want to stress players by forcing them into a “Mythic First Kill” race over the holidays, during which many people spend time with their families.
Another reason is likely that the Blizzard developers usually have vacations over the holidays and therefore would not be able to react promptly to issues such as bugs or overly difficult bosses. The release in January takes a lot of pressure off the entire situation.
In Destiny 2, the event “The Dawning” is just around the corner. Bungie has now announced the first details about this winter event. Fans can look forward to it during the Christmas season.
In keeping with the Christmas season, Destiny 2 will soon receive a festive look. With the weekly reset on December 11, the Tower will be decorated for Christmas, and the winter event “The Dawning” will begin. During these festivities, Guardians can secure numerous new gear items and cosmetic items in cool festive designs.
The Dawning in Destiny 2 – Everything you need to know about the winter event
When does the event start? The Dawning starts on December 11, 2018, at 6 PM. The winter festival will end on January 1, 2019, at 6 PM. Eva Levante will return to the Tower and will be your main point of contact for the duration of the event.
All Destiny 2 players can participate in The Dawning, regardless of any additional content. It is free content as part of Season 5.
Eva Levante
What do Guardians have to do during The Dawning?
This is what you need to do: This year’s winter festival in Destiny 2 is all about baking. Eva Levante has all kinds of recipes and baking supplies. She will also provide the Guardians with an oven and some ingredients that the Guardians can mix and use to create different baked goods.
However, Eva will not fully equip you. To get more ingredients, Guardians will have to defeat enemies and complete various activities.
The new event sparrow and event armor
Your friends around the entire solar system are just waiting to try your delicious creations. And they will show their appreciation and gratitude for it.
In addition to the cookbook, there will also be new bounties that the Guardians can complete.
These are the rewards for The Dawning event
What is there as loot? During the event, you can make progress through baking and bounties and earn the following rewards:
A new heavy machine gun – the “Avalanche.” This weapon will feature Random Rolls
A festive sparrow
The heavy machine gun “Avalanche”
Additionally, you can earn new event-specific triumphs during The Dawning.
This is available in Eververse: For The Dawning event, Eververse will also receive some new items – including:
Emotes
Special multiplayer emotes. A new feature synchronizes you with your partner – for example during a high-five
Ghost shells
Ships
Some of the rewards from Eververse
An exotic emote will be available exclusively for silver (real-money currency) as a direct purchase. Additionally, you can acquire cooking ingredients packages from Tess Everis in exchange for glimmer.
During the event, there will be double engram drops. This means that once players reach the maximum character level (depending on the content you own), every further level-up will reward an engram from The Dawning in addition to the glimmer engram.
This is what a multiplayer emote looks like
The knockout system will be active again. This means you will not receive duplicates from the event engrams until you have collected all the new items.

What does the Anthem trailer show? The video gives a glimpse into the struggle for survival of the humans in Fort Tarsis and provides insight into the new threat that players apparently have to face. The city is under attack and besieged by enemies.
Will this be the main antagonist in Anthem?
In another scene, the main adversary of the Freelancers seems to be visible – a dark figure who has brought a Javelin pilot to his knees and now, surrounded by his followers, unleashes a kind of energy in his hand.
The story of Anthem: The video outlines the story surrounding Anthem roughly. For generations, some skilled pilots, called Freelancers, have been able to confront the dangers of the post-apocalyptic world with their powerful exosuits, the Javelins, and protect the people along with the high city walls.
A battle scene from the new trailer
But now a new enemy has apparently emerged, first presented in the video. He wants to harness the infinite power of the Anthem and put it to his advantage. The Freelancers must stop him. If he succeeds, nothing and no one will be able to hold him back anymore – not even the high walls of Fort Tarsis.
Can you still participate in the Alpha? If you have not registered for this test phase yet, it is unfortunately too late now. The registration period has ended. You can currently only receive an invitation if you have already registered and had a bit of luck.
The developers of Ashes of Creation have announced today that their PvP spin-off Apocalypse will be released worldwide on December 18. They have also revealed details about the content and future plans for the game.
What is Ashes of Creation Apocalypse? The free-to-play game Apocalypse primarily contains the PvP content of the ambitious MMORPG Ashes of Creation. According to the developers, the reason for the standalone version is that they will have a live environment with many testers where they can extensively test the PvP and combat system.
This is how you sign up for Ashes of Creation: Apocalypse: It will be available as a standalone game. To play it, you must register on the official Apocalypse website . Afterwards, you can start it through the my.com Game Center. European players will also be able to compete with players from other continents.
Update on launch time: We have learned from a reliable source that there will not be a release on December 18 – German time, mind you. However, it should definitely start on December 19. Expect more info here at 1 PM.
What game modes will there be? Apocalypse will launch with a battle royale mode designed for 100 players. Players will fight with weapons and magic until only one player emerges victorious from the battle.
After the release, more PvP content is to follow. A fortress mode is planned in which a heavily defended castle must be captured. There will also be a coop horde mode where players must face waves of demons that become stronger with each round.
Can I transfer achievements to the later game? So that later players of Ashes of Creation can also enjoy the spin-off, you can transfer all cosmetic content to your main account.
Whatever you earn in Apocalypse can be used later upon the release of the main game.
How can I play the regular Ashes of Creation? Since the main game is currently in alpha, you can only play it if you buy a corresponding pre-order pack in the shop. However, to gain access to the current alpha, you need the package for $250.00.
After the announcement of the new Far Cry, a leak spreading through Twitter now shows the alleged cover and title of the new installment. The new Far Cry 6 is presumably called “New Dawn.” What lies behind it?
What is the name of the new Far Cry? It is presumably called “New Dawn,” which translates to “Neuanfang.” This fits a storyline that is supposed to take place after the explosion of a large bomb.
What does the cover show? The cover shows two women standing in the foreground with weapons. This includes the crossbow displayed in the trailer for the new installment. In the background, a man is tied to a wrecked car. The man at the car is presumably Joseph Seed, who took on the role of the villain “The Father” in Far Cry 5.
In the upper right corner, the logos indicate that there will be a 4K version and HDR for the Xbox One. “Xbox One X Enhanced” is also visible. This means: better performance, shorter loading times, and sharper resolutions on the Xbox One X.
What does this mean for the new “Far Cry” installment? Following this cover, the new Far Cry installment could follow up on Far Cry 5.
In the last mission, you were supposed to eliminate Joseph Seed when a large bomb struck, and the game ended. To this day, it is unknown how the story continues.
This could be what the new Far Cry will address: The new Far Cry could seamlessly pick up right at the end of Far Cry 5, when the bombs fell.
Can we trust the leak? Of course, nothing is official and confirmed by Ubisoft yet. However, the title and image certainly fit a post-apocalyptic story. The artwork looks real and authentic. The Twitter account Wario64, which is currently spreading the cover, boasts almost 140k followers, but the content does not indicate a reliable source.
If you want to survive safely in the wasteland of Appalachia in Fallout 76, you need the right weapon. One of the most popular firearms is the Handmade Rifle. However, getting the schematics for the gun is not that easy.
What is the Handmade Rifle? The Handmade Rifle is a weapon that was also present in Fallout 4. It doesn’t have an actual name. Instead, the weapon is simply referred to with the affix [Handmade].
The automatic rifle is modeled after the famous AK-47 and is a solid weapon for any level. It can even be modified with the rare material Ultracite and thus belongs to the strongest weapons for the endgame.
The “handmade rifle”: Find and build plans
Here are the plans: To get the schematics for the Handmade Rifle, you need to visit certain vendors. The vendors have a chance to have the recipe in their inventory:
The vendor bot at Watoga Station
Wallace in Harpers Ferry
According to reports from some players, the wandering super mutant vendor Grahm
However, to even have a chance of seeing the recipe, you must be between level 15 and level 44. Players below or above this range will not find the recipe in the vendors’ inventory.
Getting the schematics under these conditions can therefore be quite difficult. Many players use the “server hopping” trick to increase their chances of finding the recipe.
Getting the recipe after level 44: The user LoLKolie on Reddit has found a way to get the recipe even after level 44. However, this method requires a bit more effort.
Northwest of Morgantown, you will find the penitentiary of the eastern region. It is crowded with super mutants and some scorched. If you enter the penitentiary, you have a chance to trigger the events “Patrol Duty” or “Prison Break”.
According to LoLKolie, “Patrol Duty” rewards you 100% with a recipe. This could also include the recipe for the Handmade Rifle.
How to craft the rifle: Once you have found and learned the recipe, you can craft the Handmade Rifle at any weapons workbench in Appalachia. You will need for the base version (level 15) the Gunsmith perk at level 3 and the following materials:
The Handmade Rifle fires with 5.56 ammunition and deals 48 damage with a range of 120 in its base version. The firearm is also highly customizable and therefore popular with many players.
Will you also get the recipe or do you prefer to play with other weapons?
In Red Dead Online, you can now expect cash and gold gifts. Rockstar is in a generous mood and is giving away gold bars in the multiplayer of Red Dead Redemption 2.
To thank players for their participation and feedback during the beta, the team at Rockstar Games is giving away cash and gold. And it’s quite a lot.
The team at Rockstar Games thanks the players who have participated in the beta phase so far. However, it doesn’t stop at a thank you. Valuable gifts will also be distributed.
How valuable is the gift? You will receive 250 RDO$ (Red Dead Online Dollars) and 15 gold bars as a gift.
Who receives the gift? Every player who has played the beta by tomorrow, December 7th, at 09:00 AM will secure the dollars and gold.
By when will the money be distributed? The payout may take a few days. However, you should have the gold and cash in your account by December 14th. If you’re lucky, you might get the money paid out earlier.

What requirements does the raid have? Bungie recommends that you have a power level of 640. This is only 10 levels below the new power level cap of 650. However, there is no minimum requirement to participate in the raid.
What can you expect in the raid? Bungie promises an adrenaline-fueled adventure for everyone. They compare the raid with “Wrath of the Machine” from Destiny 1. Whether the raid can ultimately hold its own against the raid from Destiny 1 remains to be seen.
Are you joining the new raid? What do you think is behind the secret?
The first update for Red Dead Online is on the way. This changes money and gold prices as well as rewards in the multiplayer of RDR 2. We show you in the patch notes in German what is included.
In recent days, there has been a lot of criticism of the economy of Red Dead Online. Players complained that the prices of some items are far too high and the wages, in comparison, are far too low. One example mentioned was a can of beans that has a higher value than a wedding ring.
Rockstar listened to the players’ feedback and is now implementing changes in Red Dead Online.
Red Dead Online Patch on December 6 – Patch Overview
What are the changes? Today, on December 6, the first changes will be implemented in the beta of Red Dead Online. According to Rockstar, these changes are intended to provide more fun, balance, and a satisfying gaming experience in all modes and missions.
Increased money and gold payouts
This is available in various activities such as free roam missions and events, replays of missions from “A Land of Opportunities”, showdown series, and more.
Lower purchase prices
Most weapons in the catalog of Wheeler, Rawson & Co and at gunsmiths are now cheaper. Players who have already purchased these weapons will receive a refund of the difference. This refund may take until December 10. Once credited to you, you will recognize this by an in-game message.
Adjustments of money values
Certain pelts, skins, and fish as well as horse feeders and brochures have been adjusted in price. Exactly how the values will change is still unclear.
What are the developers planning next? After these adjustments, the developers will continue to address the issues that regularly exclude players from sessions.
Additionally, they will continue to monitor and keep an eye on the feedback from the community.
In the first week of the new Season 7 in Fortnite, you will find a hidden star. The clue is, as always, hidden in the wallpaper.
Every week, the challenges in Fortnite: Battle Royale change, which players have to solve. In the new Season 7, there are also these weekly tasks. In the first week, you mainly have to dance.
If you have solved all the tasks, you will receive a secret star that allows you to level up in your Battle Pass.
Where can I find this star? You don’t just receive the star as a reward. It is hidden in a different location each week. The loading screen, which also changes every week, reveals where you need to search. We will show you where to find it this week.
Where can you find the secret star from week 1?
What can be seen on the loading screen? The loading screen this week shows many new features that came with Season 7 to Fortnite. A new skin is hanging on a zip line and flying through the air.
Where is the hidden message? The hidden message that leads to the bonus star can be found in the background of the image. There you see a submarine standing on a mountain. Above the submarine, you can faintly see the bonus star. This submarine is also part of the standard tasks. You must dance on it.
Where should one search? The submarine is located near Frosty Flights, the place where the new airplanes can be found in Fortnite. Since the submarine is on a high mountain, you need to climb the mountain that is near Frosty Flights.
How to get the bonus star? In order to even have a chance at the bonus star, you must complete all standard tasks for week 1. Only then can you find the star.
Video for assistance: To help you find the exact spawn of the star, we have included a video that shows the location. This way you can’t miss it.

A new Far Cry installment has been announced with a teaser, which will show more at the Game Awards 2018. Players have their own ideas and wishes about what they would like to see in the next part of the series.
Unexpectedly comes often: Ubisoft has announced the next game in the Far Cry series with a small teaser. The game, which is set in a post-apocalyptic world, is supposed to be officially introduced at the Game Awards 2018.
Fans seem pleased with the new title, especially the setting, which seemingly takes place after Far Cry 5, is well received. Players have already shared their theories and wishes about what the apocalypse should include.
Spoiler warning: In this article, we will also discuss the ending of Far Cry 5. If you plan to play the title, you should not continue reading!
Teaser suggests a post-apocalyptic Far Cry
This is shown by the teaser: The short video depicts a farm that could be located in Hope County, the setting of Far Cry 5. While a voice speaks about how no one was prepared for the end, a mushroom cloud rises.
The narrator mentions that the flames had consumed everything and that death rolled through the Valley. The world turned dark and cold. But eventually, the rain and the wind ceased and a new world blossomed.
Humanity felt hope again, according to the narrator. But this hope was misguided.
It seems that the new installment in the series will pick up right after an ending of Far Cry 5. The fifth installment had three endings, one of which ended in a nuclear war.

Currently, players are still debating whether the new title is a spinoff the size of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon or a true “Far Cry 6”.
However, players are looking forward to a post-apocalyptic spinoff. A user on Reddit predicted this even months ago, but no one believed him back then.
Back to Hope County: While not everyone was satisfied with the endings of Far Cry 5, others are pleased that the story picks up from the nuclear ending. Some even feel reconciled with the ending if Ubisoft would pick up directly from Far Cry 5 with the new title.
Some players are looking forward to seeing the “Father” again and learning what happened to the Deputy. The actor Greg Bryk, who plays the character, already hinted in August that the story surrounding the “Father” Joseph Seed is not yet finished.
Some see the mention of the “Valleys” in the teaser as a hint that it could return to Holland Valley, one of the regions of Far Cry 5.
Competition with Fallout 76: Some players draw parallels to Fallout 76 and tease that Ubisoft might be making the better Fallout game. Some even refer to the new Far Cry spinoff as “Fall Cry,” a mix of Fallout and Far Cry.
Criticism of Sequel: However, there is also criticism of the supposed successor to Far Cry 5. Some Reddit users believe that Ubisoft removed the ability to continue playing after the ending of Far Cry 5 from the game. Now they are trying to sell this option as a sequel. One of the major criticisms of Far Cry 5 was that there was hardly anything to do after the ending of the game.
On YouTube, there are some voices expressing a preference for a completely new Far Cry with a different setting.
Moreover, some players are wondering why a new Far Cry title is already being announced. Far Cry 5 was only released on March 27, 2018. The games in the series have not been released annually so far.
What do you wish for from the next Far Cry? Do you want to go back to Hope County or should the next title take place in a completely different location?
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
The developers of the upcoming sci-fi MMO Dual Universe have released a new video featuring alpha footage. It shows nearly an hour of gameplay and some features that Dual Universe is supposed to offer.
This is what you can see: In the 53-minute video, Novaquark, the developers of Dual Universe, showcase what their new project has to offer. The alpha version is played and commented on by CEO JC Baillie and game designer Baptiste Agati.
Dual Universe shows with the video that it is getting closer to a playable version. The game fully relies on its community. Baillie himself speaks with a certain pride in his voice about what is possible in Dual Universe. The features shown in the video include:
free construction of buildings and vehicles like hoverbikes
trading between players
exploration of vast worlds
crafting
player-built spaceships
Building and exploration are supposed to be features that you can experience with friends.
What to expect in Dual Universe: Dual Universe wants to achieve a lot, and these ambitions have been critically observed by many gamers in the past. Critics had the impression that Dual Universe wants too much and may remain in perpetual development.
However, the first reactions from fans to the video are very positive and confirm the CEO’s pride in the game. The new trailer strengthens the hopes of many for a good, new MMO that will also see its release.
Dual Universe aims to offer players maximum freedom and is an indie alternative to the sci-fi giant Star Citizen. The core pillars of the game are supposed to be exploration, building, trading, and conquest.
The new Archer class will be playable starting December 12, 2018. However, players of Black Desert can create their own Archer now and win various prizes.
The new Archer class will be released in Black Desert next week. Players can participate in various events and grab many items. We will show you how you can receive certain rewards.
Get creative in the character editor now
In Black Desert, players usually have a week before the release of a new class to play around in the game’s character editor. On release day, you can start playing immediately. You will have exactly 7 days to shape your Archer according to your wishes.
Free character slot: Until December 12, you can purchase a character slot for the Archer for 1 loyalty point. Players receive 100 loyalty points for logging in every day. This is a currency with which they can buy certain items in the game’s premium shop.
With this decision, Kakao Games seems to have listened to the players’ criticism. They had criticized that there was no free character slot for the last class, Lahn, and that players had to buy one instead.
You can pre-register for the class on the official Archer website. For this, you will receive
2 gold bars of 100G, which you can convert into silver,
a blessing from Kamalsilve for 7 days, which increases your loot chance, and
3 event scrolls: loot that increases your loot rate.
Useful items at the start: Additionally, there are rewards if you create your Archer before December 12. These include many practical items.
You will receive a free inventory expansion of 8 slots. Additionally, your character can carry 50 LT more. An increased carrying capacity and a larger inventory are very practical in Black Desert.
You will receive an accessory box: Asula, with which you can equip your Archer immediately.
A Valk’s blessing will arrive in your inventory. This item increases the chance of successfully enhancing your equipment.
Two gold bars of 100G can be converted into silver or stored.
And a horse flute for 7 days, which allows you to call your horse from up to 500 meters away.
The items will be delivered to you by mail in the game starting December 12.
Show your Archer and win a complete costume set with a bit of luck
Take a photo and win: In parallel to these other events, a photo competition is starting. Players can submit a picture of their created Archer and win various prizes. To do this, you must create your individual sharpshooter in character creation. Winners will be determined in the unique and other categories. So go wild and create a unique Archer.
Your created Archer should not look like this.
Then open the album and take a photo, to which you must give a title. Choose one of the available categories, such as beautiful, unique, or ugly, and save the image.
With a bit of luck, your Archer will win one of 7 clothing sets and the item Merv’s Palette, which allows you to dye your clothing as many times as you want during the period.

New Toys: In addition to gold and basketball, you can now throw a hockey puck. And then a Durr-Burger is also available as a projectile.
Information about the Battle Pass
What is the new Battle Pass in Season 7? The Battle Pass in Fortnite is a collection of items and skins. The further you progress in the game, the more items you unlock. Progress comes via experience points from battles or by completing daily and weekly challenges.
How much does the Battle Pass cost? The Battle Pass has always cost 950 V-Bucks since Season 3, which is 9.50 euros. If you do not buy the Pass, you can still unlock levels and get some lesser rewards. Your progress will still count if you purchase the Pass later.
Is the Pass worth it? The Battle Pass is definitely worth it if you plan to play Fortnite more often. You will receive more rewards and stay engaged. Also, when you complete the Pass up to level 97, you will receive a total of 1,500 V-Bucks as rewards.
This way, the Pass has practically paid for itself, and you will have 550 bucks left over.
You can find the other highlights of Season 7 here:
EA has released the new Title Update 5 for PC in FIFA 19 today. The patch mainly makes changes to precision shots. We summarize the changes.
The Title Update 5 for FIFA 19 on PC is here. Consoles should be updated a week later. The changes mainly affect the “First time finesse shots.” These are precision shots that are taken directly without controlling the ball.
This changes: If a finesse shot is taken with direct control, the shot is now less accurate after the update.
What does this even mean? The angle now determines more strongly whether the shot hits its target or not. Overall, the ball will miss its target more often for finesse shots that are taken without ball control after the update. EA has illustrated this in a graphic:
Before the update:
After the update:
This was tested in the graphic with Eden Hazard from Chelsea FC. The blue lines indicate a hit, while the red lines indicate a miss. The shots were taken from an angle of 86.25°.
In addition to finesse shots, there are also changes to the Elastico skill.
This changes: Apparently, EA has responded to player feedback here. Players reported that the ball was too far away from the player when the skill was executed. This should no longer happen after the update. The update adjusts the distance between the ball and the player when the skill is used.
In this video, EA shows with a 5-star skill player how the changes affect gameplay. You can find the detailed patch notes as always on the official page.

The 1st week in Season 7 of Fortnite requires you to dance on a crown made of trailers, on a metal turtle, and on a submarine. We will show you how to easily complete the “Dance on Crown” tasks in Fortnite.
Dancing is an important theme in Season 7 of Fortnite. Right in the first week, there are two tasks that require you to show off your dance moves.
In the last phase, you need to dance on a submarine. However, it is not located in water, as one might expect.
Where is the submarine in Fortnite? You will find it southwest of Polar Peak at coordinates B 8.
You will find the submarine at the top of an icy mountain.
Things to keep in mind for the challenge: Keep in mind that you need to finish a match in the normal way for the dances to count towards the Battle Pass. Dancing, leaving the match, and traveling to a new location does not count.
You need to finish a match normally after dancing. Winning is not necessary. You just must not manually leave the match while still alive.
We show you three decks that will help you to get started in the Hearthstone expansion “Rastakhan’s Rumble”.
The new expansion for Hearthstone has been released for a few days now. With 135 new cards, Rastakhan’s Rumble offers plenty of potential for new deck ideas that can give your opponents a hard time. For those who don’t want to search for solid decks themselves, we would like to present three solid variants here. Some new cards are included, and these decks have proven to be quite promising so far.
Priests now have access to the powerful Bwonsamdi with Rastakhan’s Rumble, which allows them to draw minions costing 1 from the deck until their hand is full. In combination with the Spirit of the Dead, which transforms dead friendly minions into 1-mana copies and puts them back into the deck, there are particularly many simple “One Turn Kill” combinations possible.
Through Prophet Velen and Malygos, the damage of a single Mind Blast can be increased to over 60 damage.
How to Play the Deck? It is especially important to play the Spirit of the Dead at the right moment to create many strong 1-mana minions that Bwonsamdi can later benefit from. If the opponent cannot deal with the board and leaves large minions like Velen, Malygos, or the Lich King on the field, you can of course win prior.
Otherwise, you wait for the combination of Bwonsamdi and the 1-mana variants of Malygos and Velen to clear the board with Mind Blast and Holy Fire.
Not every player has a lot of time or wants to spend a lot of money on Hearthstone. But you can still have some fun with cheap decks without breaking the bank. This deck may not be the optimal choice, but it is an affordable variant to simply try out the Warlock.
How to Play the Deck? Generally, this Warlock plays like almost all “Zoolocks”. You try to get as many minions on the board as quickly as possible and aim to win before the opponent can execute their strategy. The new cards used here are merely Cruel Sacrifice and Spirit of the Bat. The Cruel Sacrifice buffs all minions on the Warlock’s board, while the Spirit of the Bat may take some tempo from the deck but scores big in the upcoming turns and buffs cards in hand.
However, the chances of winning decrease with this deck the longer a match lasts. Those who already have better cards can naturally swap them out for others in the deck. Newcomers or thrifty players should be well advised with this deck.
Hunters have long relied on their strong minions, as wild beasts often come with special abilities. In the last expansions of Hearthstone, this has changed, and solid “Spell Hunters” are appearing more frequently. One of these is the “Zul’jin Spell Hunter” deck from the well-known streamer Kripparian, which brings joy to many players. It focuses on many spells and the new legendary Hunter card Zul’jin.
How to Play the Deck? Although the deck contains only spells, there are of course several ways to summon minions. Cards like the Animal Companion or the Hero Power from the Deathstalker Rexxar create numerous minions. However, you will likely deal most damage with spells while simultaneously keeping the opponent’s board small.
The deck relies on two larger finishers, namely the bow Rhok’delar from Kobolds and Catacombs and the new hero card Zul’jin. This allows you to cast all spells you have played once again, albeit with random targets. Since traps and animal companions don’t have a “random target”, Zul’jin quickly creates a strong board that most enemies cannot handle anymore.
InFortnite: Battle Royale Season 7 is finally here and it has the potential to rock Fortnite like never before. These 5 highlights are sure to contribute significantly.
Season 7 is different in many ways from the previous 6. This is primarily due to the sheer amount of changes involving airplanes, a significantly larger map, and unprecedented customization options.
This is why Season 7 is something special!
In the following paragraphs, we will introduce you to the five most significant innovations in Season 7. These highlights make Season 7 something special.
Airplanes
What exactly are airplanes in Fortnite? Airplanes are a completely new vehicle in Fortnite. They are biplanes that allow you to zoom through the skies. Additionally, the planes come equipped with a machine gun that can fire indefinitely as long as it does not overheat. Up to 4 passengers can also join the flight.
What’s so cool about airplanes? First of all, airplanes are the first flying vehicles in the game. They also have the highest passenger capacity and are armed. This has not been the case before.
With the airplane, Fortnite becomes a completely different game, as you can be shot at from the air at any time by a pilot. And in the air, daring pilots engage in wild dogfights.
The landing spot for the planes at Frosty Flights should always be heavily contested, as there are only a few airplanes, and whoever has one has a significant advantage. At least until the first counters to airplanes are established.
Completely new map area
What exactly has changed? The familiar Fortnite island has been expanded with a new ice biome and 3 new locations. Additionally, old locations and the entire terrain have been significantly altered. There’s also a new mode of transportation.
What’s so cool about the new map? The best part about the new map is that it is really a kind of new map! Because up until now, changes have only rearranged the existing land masses. The most drastic changes were the transformation of Moisty Mire in the southeast into Paradise Palms and the transformation of Loot Lake in Season 6.
With the iceberg, even more land has been added to Fortnite, and with the locations Polar Peak, Happy Hamlet, and Frosty Flights, three interesting new POIs have been introduced.
In return, familiar places like Greasy Grove and Flush Factory have completely disappeared and are unrecognizable.
Item Paint Jobs
What are paint jobs? These are a new form of item customization. You can set the paint jobs for each type of weapon (shotguns, pistols, assault rifles, etc.) and for vehicles in your locker. When you find such an item, it will have the color or pattern you set with the paint jobs.
Why are paint jobs cool? With the paint jobs, you can further enhance your style. While you cannot create completely custom weapon skins like in Call of Duty, you can finally roam around with a bright red assault rifle or Christmas camouflage on the SCAR, making Fortnite even more colorful.
More customizable skins than ever before
What skins are available? In the new Battle Pass, there are seven new skins. Among them, four are customizable. In Season 6, there were only two. The customizable outfits are the two level 1 skins Lynx and Zenith, Sergeant Winter, and the Ice King.

What’s so great about the customizations this time? Customizable skins are always cool as they provide an additional reward effect and incentive to play. In Season 7, however, you level each skin differently. Only Lynx and Zenith can be upgraded with experience points.
Sergeant Winter levels up via completed daily challenges, and the Ice King only changes when you survive numerous opponents. A welcome change from the constant XP grind of previous seasons.
New Story
What is known about the story? After the somewhat annoying endless confusion surrounding the purple cube from previous seasons, something new has finally happened in Fortnite. There’s an ice area with a mysterious castle, an evil Santa Claus, robots, and a dark Ice King.
What’s so great about the new story? The new story is largely unknown, which makes it special. There’s something new to unravel and numerous clues to follow. The new area is vast and full of mysteries.
What’s the deal with the ice castle? Why is there a submarine on one of the peaks? What does the base have to do with the logo of the robot A.I.M. and what has happened to Durrr-Burger since it was engulfed by ice?
Will the ice melt over time and reveal a dark secret? And what the hell does the butterfly event from Season 6 have to do with it? It’s going to be more exciting than ever.
On a website, Funcom Oslo, the studio behind Conan Exiles, is advertising the unveiling of a new Conan game. What you can expect from the new game can be found here.
This is happening right now: On the website “conancountdown.com”, a countdown is ticking down, which will expire on Saturday, December 8th at 10 AM PST (7 PM in Germany).
At the end of the countdown, there will be a “Showcase” on the Twitch stream of Kinda Funny Games, where a new Conan game is set to be revealed.
This could be the new Conan game
What we already know: In the financial report for the first quarter of 2018, Funcom talked about the current status and outlined future plans. Two of these new plans involved new games in the universe of Conan the Barbarian.
The announcement of the new games came shortly after the successful release of the survival game Conan Exiles, which Funcom “saved” with its release “saved”. Both games are under the auspices of Funcom Oslo, which will also conduct the upcoming reveal.
These games could come: Funcom has also provided some concrete information about the two potential games.
A Petroglyph project:
Petroglyph is set to be the developer of a new game set in the Conan universe.
Petroglyph is a strategy game developer known for creating Star Wars: Empire at War and Grey Goo.
The game is expected to be released in the first half of 2019.
More information is expected to come “shortly before the launch.”
A Funcom project:
Funcom Oslo itself has a new concept for a “Conan the Barbarian” game.
The pre-production is said to have started in the second half of 2018.
A specific date is not known.
What we suspect: It is likely that both games will be announced this coming Saturday, as they seem to have already moved well beyond the mere planning phase. However, it speaks in favor of the Petroglyph project that a release timeframe has already been announced for the game.
What exactly the two games will be remains uncertain. Given that Petroglyph is known for strategy games, a Conan RTS could emerge. This is also supported by the fact that Funcom already has an MMO with Age of Conan and a survival title with Conan Exiles.
Fans have encountered a massive puzzle in the new premium DLC “The Black Armory,” which is currently engaging numerous Guardians in Destiny 2. What is behind it?
Puzzles are a part of Destiny: The Destiny series is famous for its hidden puzzles. Already in Destiny 1, the community often worked hand in hand to uncover many cool secrets of the game. While such aspects were initially scarce in the sequel, Destiny 2 now has a number of puzzles and riddles to offer.
Fans encounter a massive puzzle in the Volundr Forge
What is the puzzle about? As part of the first quest from the new DLC The Black Armory, Guardians are drawn into the first of four forges – the Volundr Forge. This must be ignited so that players can forge new weapons from the Black Armory arsenal and progress in the new content.

However, after the Guardians unlocked the first firearm in the forge, they discovered a series of mysterious symbols, letters, runes, and entire runic scripts that had previously remained hidden. These adorn the Volundr Forge as well as numerous objects and surfaces in the immediate vicinity.

The new weapons are the key: The key to discovering the massive puzzle was the new weapons of the Black Armory, more specifically the first one – the heavy machine gun Hammerhead, which is awarded after the first completion of the forge.

Looking through the sights of the weapon makes the hidden symbols visible. However, they cannot be seen with regular weapons or even with the naked eye. This is apparently only possible with weapons crafted in the forge. Moreover, one must also use the sight device.
There is also a strange animation or effect when shooting some of these symbols through the sights of the corresponding weapon. What this means is still unknown. So far, it hasn’t caused any effect yet.
This wall with patterns is full of these symbols. Numerous Guardians consider it a kind of map.
What do all the characters mean? This is still unknown. Although the community is diligently working on solving it, a solution has not yet been found. The first clues currently suggest that it could be a kind of map coded with real Nordic runes.
The runes form this symbol – Vegvisir from Norse mythology
Some runes have been assembled into a kind of puzzle that shows a compass from Viking mythology. Parts of the Nordic scripts have even been translated, but this has not led to a breakthrough either.

How the letters, the individual symbols, and the runes are connected remains unclear for now. The extent of the puzzle is also unclear. Many believe it could continue in the upcoming forges.
In this Reddit thread from Destiny Raid Secrets, you can inspect all the previously discovered and collected puzzle pieces in detail.
The symbols in the video: In this video by Destiny YouTuber Unknown Player, you can see a large part of the mysterious symbolism from the Volundr Forge.
