The anime MMO MapleStory 2 is getting the first part of a major expansion called Skybound in just a few days.
With Skybound, you’ll be expecting plenty of new content, including a journey to an airship above the clouds.
Up in the Air with a New Class
What does Skybound bring? Skybound is the first major expansion of the hit MMORPG MapleStory 2. The addon is so extensive that it will be released in multiple parts. The first one is coming soon.
Victoria Island is threatened by the forces of darkness
The Kingdom of Tria is creating a powerful airship for war: the Sky Fortress!
You will travel to the Sky Fortress, where new missions await you
You will also encounter five factions, including the Royal Guard, the Agents of Dark Wind, and the Wizards of the Lumiknights
Each faction offers you unique items in their own shop
Daily quests will lead you through Maple World
The new class Soul Binder is introduced, whose spells are powered by Mantra Cores that you must collect
PvP will be introduced with the Maple Arena, where 1v1 duels will take place
The MMORPG still delights players
When will the addon be released? The first part of Skybound will be available on December 6 for MapleStory 2.
What else is coming? The developers of MapleStory 2 announced a special event that will take place from December 6 to January 10. During this event, your task is to find an item called “Epic Toads Enchanting Stone Fragments” in the dungeons with a hard difficulty level.
Players receive 10 fragments per “Dungeon Clear” and can craft a magic stone with 20 fragments, which can then be used instead of a copy of an equipment piece required for enchanting Epic equipment.
Here and there, there’s a bit of criticism about botting and the fact that some balancing could still be worked on, but overall, MapleStory 2 continues to receive very positive feedback.

According to a leaked video, a story in Destiny 2 will soon be continued, which was originally thought to be concluded with Forsaken. The community is excited and spinning their own theories about how the story could unfold. The twist raises 5 questions.
If you do not want to know how the story of Destiny 2 could continue, please refrain from reading further.
These 5 questions have the players asking
After many Guardians watched the leaked video, they have come up with their own exciting theories about what the resurrection of Uldren Sov as a Guardian could mean for the story of Destiny 2.
1. When does the video take place?
This question is of great interest to the Guardians. Knowing at what time the video takes place could help us determine when we can expect the story twist in the game.
As it appears, Uldren Sov is laid to rest in the Dreaming City. Everything around him is calm, the curse seems to have lifted. It would also be a pretty foolish idea to lay someone to rest on a battlefield.
Players assume that the leaked cutscene has less to do with the story of the first premium DLC The Black Armory, but is rather separate from it. Perhaps the video takes place at a time when the curse of the city has already been broken.
The most intriguing question might be whether Uldren can still remember his past deeds after his resurrection by the ghost. After all, he not only has Cayde-6 on his conscience, but he also freed Riven and triggered the curse of the Dreaming City.
If Bungie adheres to the previous lore, the new Guardian – just like we at the beginning of Destiny 1 – will not be able to remember his past life.
Players can decide for themselves how much sympathy they want to have for Uldren: He most likely can remember nothing, not even his sister Mara. All other Guardians in the Tower, where Uldren will most likely appear at some point, know what he has done.
3. Will Uldren be the new Hunter leader?
This theory has persisted ever since it became known that Cayde-6 bites the dust in Forsaken. And it wasn’t even clear then that Uldren would be resurrected as a Guardian.
This daydream that Uldren will become the new Hunter chief gains new fire with the resurrection. In the Marasenna lore is also described that Uldren acted as a scout and hunter in the early days of the Awoken.
Moreover, Guardians are already aware from the quest about the Ace of Space of the challenge Cayde-6 posed to his murderer: Whoever kills Cayde should become the new Hunter leader of the Vanguard.
4. Is the ghost in the video Pulled Pork?
Even more than Uldren’s resurrection, players seem interested in who performs the resurrection. Guardians assume that the ghost is Pulled Pork, in German “Mettigel”.
He was identified by his distinctive ghost shell, which is described in the lore.
The story of Pulled Pork is told in Destiny lore in the article of the same name in the ghost stories. The ghost got his name from Nkechi-32 and Agu, either two Guardians or a Guardian and his ghost, who repeatedly encountered Pulled Pork.
Pulled Pork has reportedly been searching for his Guardian for a very long time, according to the lore even long before the battle at Twilight Gap.
In the lore, the ghost is described as sweet, kind, and serious or sincere.
Pulled Pork carefully travels across the universe, turning over every stone to find his Guardian. Nkechi-32 and Agu joke in the story that Pulled Pork might find the best Guardian of all time.
Players find this pairing of a sweet and kind ghost and the seemingly bad-tempered and sarcastic Uldren particularly interesting.
5. Did Mara orchestrate the whole story?
Since Forsaken, Guardians have been suspicious of the Awoken Queen, Mara Sov. After all, we have known since the expansion that Mara intended to take control of the Taken with the help of Eris Morn when Oryx meets his end.
The Marasenna lore book does not cast a particularly good light on the queen either.
Some players in the Destiny subreddit have the theory that Mara foresaw what would happen to her brother and made arrangements accordingly. And once again, the ghost Pulled Pork stands at the center of this thought.
In the Pulled Pork lore, the two Guardians notice that the ghost has a new shell. Riff-violet with a flower-like silhouette and silver details. When asked about it, the ghost says that the shell was a gift.
Players speculate that Mara gifted the ghost the shell and manipulated him to resurrect her brother centuries later. Thus, he could function as a mole in the Tower.
Do you also have theories about Uldren’s resurrection? Which of the theories seems the most fitting to you?

InFortnite: Battle Royale Ninja invited his pals live to an event in real life. That was not a good idea in the end.
What did Ninja do? During an event for his soundtrack CD “Ninjawerks” in LA, the top streamer Ninja naturally played Fortnite live again. This time, however, other famous streamers and Ninja’s friends were also present.
Among them were DrLupo and TimTheTatMan. They stood around Ninja while he was gaming live.
Star streamer Ninja is associated with the rise of Fortnite
And they were anything but helpful.
With friends like these, who needs enemies
What did Ninja’s friends do? Ninja’s pals were by no means calm and peaceful. Instead, they constantly trolled and teased the star. Lupo, for instance, kept interrupting with comments like “You’re terrible at this game” or “This is bad”.
Friends kill Ninja during the stunt: The trolls reached the climax of their antics when Ninja wanted to showcase his skills with the Quad-Launcher. The streamer had just built a ramp and was preparing for a cool stunt.

He was just about to achieve over 200,000 points through aerial acrobatics when DrLupo sneakily pressed the exit button.
Ninja fell to the ground with loud screams and crashed down. To add to the humiliation, a random player came by and sprayed a corpse outline on the ground where Ninja had died.
This is how Ninja’s friends mocked the report scandal: Immediately after, Ninja’s friends demanded “Report it!” for this “disrespect” and opened the window to report unwanted players. Ninja quickly closed it while loudly complaining about the trolling action.
The joke about reporting was a reference to the scandal involving Ninja, who had reported players multiple times because he thought they had played unfairly.
Friend rubs more salt in the wound
This is how the trolling continued: To further tease Ninja, DrLupo continued. He tweeted, “Glider redeployment is no longer in the game, Ninja. Why did you jump out of the quad?”
In response, Ninja had only one reply, which wasn’t entirely serious: “I hate you!” But seriously, how would you react if someone ruined the game for you so meanly?

The rewards of the island expeditions in World of Warcraft are a great mystery. Blizzard now clearly reveals how it will change with patch 8.1.
Island expeditions are still one of the major features of World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth. However, there has been a lot of frustration and confusion about how exactly the rewards work and how to farm rewards most effectively.
How has the loot worked on islands so far? Blizzard has confirmed that the community was correct in their assumptions. When certain creatures of a “group” are killed, the chance for loot from that specific group increases.
So anyone who kills Murlocs has a chance for special Murloc rewards.
On the other hand, those who kill dragons can receive special dragon items.
This is how the island loot will change with patch 8.1: With patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance, the loot received at the end of an island expedition will be independent of the number of defeated enemies or their group affiliation. Only the existing enemies on an island decide what loot will be left behind.
An example: An island is primarily populated by Naga, and a dragon invasion is also taking place.
Upon completion of the island, all players have a chance for Naga and dragon loot, regardless of whether they primarily killed Naga and dragons.
Which playstyle is most worthwhile with 8.1? Due to these changes, the most rewarding way to complete an island is always the fastest. Those who are particularly quick can complete more islands in a shorter time and should therefore be able to earn more rewards.
This is how the community reacts: The reactions from the community to the change are not only positive.
While it’s praised that island expeditions can now be completed in the most efficient way to receive rewards
There are also many negative voices. Because those who now want to “target” farm an item are even more dependent on random factors than before.
So far, players could also kill individually scattered opponents of a specific faction to increase the chance; now they are completely reliant on the RNG of the respective invasion.
Cortyn says: I welcome the changes, as there will now be no discrepancy between players who only want rewards and those who just want to finish quickly. Both will now achieve their goals through the same means. That I have to accept a bit more RNG for that is manageable for me.
What do you think of these changes? Does it make islands more worthwhile? Or is it just a drop in the bucket?
In Destiny 2, the release of the first premium DLC “The Black Armory” is approaching. Our author Sven explains what he is particularly looking forward to regarding the Black Armory.
The Black Armory launches today, on December 4, 2018. It is the first of three DLCs for owners of the Annual Pass. The scope and individual contents of this DLC are currently being extensively discussed by numerous fans.
Here you can find out what our Destiny author Sven thinks about the first premium content delivery.
Forsaken was important for Destiny 2, but not everything
That’s why Forsaken was important for the game: One thing upfront – in my opinion, the major Forsaken expansion was an enormously important cornerstone for the future of Destiny 2.
Its most important task has been fulfilled for me by Forsaken, as it addressed and eliminated numerous core problems of the game:
All of this and more was clearly missing from Destiny 2 before Forsaken.
I never really warmed up to Forsaken: However, even though the major fall expansion probably saved Destiny 2 and the game made an enormous leap in the right direction, I was not happy with all the content of the big fall expansion.
With the setting of Forsaken – especially in the Dreaming City – I never really warmed up. I mostly felt more like I was in Lord of the Rings and not in Destiny.
What I’m looking forward to with the Black Armory
Even though I have not played the DLC yet, I noticed during the presentation of the Black Armory that a lot of what I have been missing in Destiny 2 is now coming into the game.
The look is right again: With the Black Armory, Destiny 2 finally gets the look I have wanted for a long time. Until now, my Guardians often seemed like medieval knights or fantasy figures from a Tolkien novel and not like highly technological warriors from the future.
Really cool mechanical armor designs, which I would have liked to equip my Guardians with, have so far been scarce and only available in isolated cases.
Furthermore, most of these examples became worthless with Forsaken, as they dated back to the first year of Destiny 2, such as the Escalation Protocol gear. Only the remake of the “Prison of Elders” armor for the Hunter caught my attention in Forsaken.
But those times are soon to be over for me.
I love the new armor design of the Black Armory. Finally, I am getting at least one armor set per character that truly matches my taste and my idea of aesthetics. I am placing further hopes in the yet unknown new raid armor.
The weapon design of the Black Armory is moving more in the direction of Destiny 1 and distancing itself from the WW2 look from Gambit or the Iron Banner, which I have never really understood.
I am a Guardian in the future. Why should I run around with weapons that my grandfather could have fought with?
The raid setting is interesting again: The Forsaken raid “Last Wish” or activities like the Broken Throne I have not really played extensively. Not because I found them too difficult or did not have a group for them – the setting completely failed to resonate with me.
And with the new raid “Scourge of the Past”, yet another big wish of mine is fulfilled. Finally, I can fight Fallen in a tangible setting, the Last City, and no longer have to chase a dragon that I then have to slay like a knight in a fairy tale.
According to Bungie, the action-packed fights in the new raid are said to be similar to those in Wrath of the Machines. This also made me very happy. After all, Wrath of the Machines was one of my absolute favorite raids, and I have been wishing for a similarly structured activity for a long time.
While I enjoy challenges, even in the form of mechanics, I would prefer to fight against enemies and bosses rather than just primarily against the mechanics, as was very much the case in the Year 1 raid encounters.
Cool new exotics: Most of the new exotics have also caught my attention. Although we will have to wait and see how the new weapons perform in practice, at least on paper, the new exotics look really exciting and, in my opinion, are worthy of the designation “exotic”. The gameplay of the new weapons also looks really strong.
Additionally, with the exotic hand cannon The Last Word returning, I am one of the happiest Guardians in the world. And honestly – which Guardian does not get excited about new exotics?
Matchmaking in the new group activity: Group activities like the Blind Well are among the most enjoyable activities for my Guardians in Destiny 2. I particularly enjoyed the Escalation Protocol. Therefore, I found it unfortunate that Bungie has not yet managed to establish a player search feature for such activities.
Although you sometimes meet other Guardians there or can try to find more players by changing instances, I have always wished for a matchmaking system for these types of group content.
In the new 3-player activity “Forging the Chain,” Bungie now offers integrated player search – without any detours. This is something I and certainly many other fans have been waiting for a long time.
That’s why the Black Armory is worth €11 to me
New content plan: With the start of Season 5, Bungie is now taking a different approach to provide players with content. While all owners are provided with some free content during the respective seasons of Destiny 2, additional premium content like the Black Armory comes at an extra cost.
This premium content is not available individually, but only as a bundle as part of the Annual Pass – a kind of season pass for the second year of Destiny 2. This can be purchased either in some Forsaken or Destiny 2 bundles, or also individually for €35. A premium DLC therefore costs approximately more than €11 (or €10 if you purchased the season pass at the same time).
This is why the Black Armory convinces me: Although I do not yet know how the contents of the Black Armory will play, this DLC is already worth this money to me.
Because Destiny is and remains my great love and a real hobby. So I will continue to stay loyal to the game. And the Black Armory brings me for €10 more of what I have wished for in the near future:
more legendary loot
a new raid with a fresh setting
new exotics to chase
a new 3-person activity that will drop items up to the new max power level after a certain point
In principle, the Black Armory mainly brings one thing: More endgame content. And indeed the only new endgame content. There will be no further substantial content – at least not without the Annual Pass.
The DLC offers more than expected: So I can already say that I will definitely get my money’s worth with what is being offered here for €11. Even if the content is stretched or may not fully convince in the long run.
Because just a trip to the cinema for a two-hour movie costs me more money. The new Destiny content will certainly entertain me longer. Personally, I expected much less value for €11 than what has already been announced with the Black Armory DLC.
Regardless of whether this new content policy from Bungie is right and player-friendly or not – as a huge Destiny fan, I am certainly willing to spend this money for the announced content, rather than standing still without new content until at least March 2019.
InFortnite: Battle Royale there is a new emote that allows you to hold up random scoreboards. With this trick, you will definitely score 0 points and troll your opponents especially hard.
How does the new scoreboard emote work? The new emote “Scoreboard” in Fortnite allows you to hold up a board with a number between 0 and 10. So just like a judge at a competition.
What is the emote good for? Unfortunately, the number is triggered randomly. Therefore, the emote is not suitable for judging the actions of teammates, as you have no control over the drawn numbers.
https://youtu.be/fKwRVFXsz2Q
However, there is a trick that allows you to always give a trolling 0 points and thus mock your opponents to the maximum.
How to always score 0 points with the emote
With this combination, you are nasty mockers: Fortunately, clever players have already figured out how to manipulate the scoreboards and guarantee 0 points. It works as follows:
Just perform the emote “Take the L” (Losses happen) beforehand and then follow it up with the scoreboard emote. This will always display a 0 and mock your opponents to the utmost.

Is this intentional or a bug? So far, Epic has not commented on this combo. So it could be that it is a bug that might eventually be fixed. Until then, you should still be able to use the nasty combination without any problems.
How do I get the “Take the L” dance? That is a problem because the mocking dance was only available in the Season Pass for Season 3. If you didn’t play back then or didn’t have the pass, there is currently no way to get the emote.
However, Epic may still bring the dance to the in-game shop at a later date. When and if that will ever be the case is currently unknown.
Here you can find more funny and nasty emotes and dances from Fortnite:
For the Meltan quest in Pokémon GO, players need to catch Tragosso. We will show you how easily you can solve the quest.
The Pokémon Tragosso is part of the Meltan quest. At stage 7 out of 9, you need to catch a Tragosso to complete the task. However, players are currently finding very few Tragosso in the wild.
We will give you tips on how to catch this Ground-type Pokémon.
How to catch Tragosso in Pokémon GO
Tragosso is a Pokémon that does not appear very often, especially in Germany. It was part of the Let’s-GO event and was frequently found. However, it now seems to not appear at all anymore. But you need one for the Meltan quest.
Why is the Meltan quest harder? Since the end of the Let’s-GO event, it has become even more difficult to solve some tasks of the Meltan quest. Pokémon like Anorith or Aerodactyl have also become harder to find since the event ended, but are part of the quest.
This is how you encounter Tragosso in the wild: As a normal spawn, Tragosso hardly appears anymore. If you have sunny weather in the game, then you have better luck. The spawns of the Pokémon are increased then. Additionally, Tragosso is a popular nest Pokémon. So go to your local parks to check the nests. Maybe there is a Tragosso nest.
Tragosso through raids: Tragosso itself is not available as a raid boss. However, the Alolan form of Knogga, the evolution of Tragosso, is. If you catch Alolan Knogga in raids, you can successfully complete the quest “Catch a Tragosso” as Knogga also counts for this quest. This is also confirmed by several players on Reddit.
What could help further? In the past, Niantic has regularly held events to help players complete their special research. Often, Magikarp is featured as an event Pokémon in various events, so that players can complete their Gyarados for the Mew quest.
Such an event could also come soon with Tragosso and the other Pokémon from the Meltan quest.
Bethesda is currently having a tough time. The company seems to be stumbling from one misstep to the next and is now trying to mitigate damages. For example, with the bags that came with the Power Armor Edition of Fallout 76.
Bethesda now wants to appease buyers of the Collector’s Edition of Fallout 76 and is offering to send out the “real” canvas bags.
The bag of evil
The “Bag Scandal”
What happened? Bethesda announced a canvas bag for the Power Armor Edition of Fallout 76. Without notifying customers, this was replaced with a nylon one.
A shitstorm followed. Especially after it became known that Bethesda had produced canvas backpacks, but gave them to YouTubers instead of the buyers of the Collector’s Edition.
How is Bethesda responding? The company announced via Twitter that it is working on replacements for the bags. Canvas bags are currently being produced. Those who purchased a Power Armor Edition of Fallout 76 should contact Bethesda by January 31, 2019, and will then receive the replacement.

How are players reacting? The decision to finally deliver the advertised bags pleases most fans. However, others seem too disappointed by how the situation around Fallout 76 has unfolded in recent weeks since the release.
Some players believe that Bethesda is not sending the new bags out of goodwill, but because their lawyers may have advised them to do so. After all, Bethesda is even facing a class action lawsuit. Among other things, due to the canvas bags.
For some players, it sounds suspicious, as Bethesda recently stated that the material was not available and they would not be doing anything about the bags. However, Bethesda has distanced itself from that statement. They subsequently described it as “outrageous and incorrect.” It came from a contract employee, not from a spokesperson for Bethesda.

The prices and earnings in Red Dead Online are something that many players criticize. One of the first updates for the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2 aims to tackle these issues.
In recent days, player complaints have become louder, with many finding the in-game prices in Red Dead Online unfair. Players receive too little money to afford most items without grinding. While there are other problems in the online mode, the unfair economy has been one of the most frequently criticized aspects by the community.
Rockstar heard these complaints and stated that updates are being planned based on player feedback. The balance of the in-game economy is now the focus.
Rockstar wants to adjust prices and wages in Red Dead Online
On Twitter, the Rockstar Games account announced that they are grateful for the participants in the beta. They appreciate the feedback. The player responses should now help improve every area of Red Dead Online.
What does Rockstar want to change? In the announcement, it states: Current focuses include the in-game economy, which needs a certain balance. The aim is to ensure that all activities are appropriately entertaining and rewarding. Additionally, they plan to fix some bugs that cause players to disconnect from their current sessions.
Can the problems be easily fixed? Rockstar states that they developed Red Dead Online in a way that allows such adjustments to be made easily.
When will the updates come? Initial updates are expected to be released by the end of this week. Further updates will follow next week. Until then, you can still use this method to earn $300 per hour in Red Dead Online.
What do players say about it? Overall, the mood in the community has improved after this announcement. People are pleased that Rockstar acknowledges the problems and hopes for a better pricing/wage system soon.
However, players also express doubts. Reddit user JonnieDirtnap writes: Hopefully, the economic fix will result in missions for strangers and looting corpses providing more money, rather than reducing the selling prices for fish and hunting items.
Everyone who was looking forward to the first free content delivery for Battlefield 5 today will have to continue to exercise patience. The release of the first Tides of War DLC Chapter 1 Overture will be delayed.
What happened? Today, December 4, 2018, the first chapter of the new live service Tides of War was supposed to be released for Battlefield V – Chapter 1: Overture. Just yesterday, DICE had prepared the fans for the new content. However, as the developers announced a few hours ago on Twitter, Overture has now been postponed at short notice.
First Tides of War update for Battlefield 5 postponed due to issue
Why is Chapter 1 for Battlefield 5 delayed? DICE explained that a problem with the “Chapter 1 Overture” update was discovered at the last moment. Instead of creating further problems in the game, they decided to hold back the update for the time being. They did not provide further details about the issues.
When will the first Tides of War update come? DICE did not provide a specific date. However, the tweet stated that they do not expect a long delay. There could be news about it today.
On the official Twitter account of Xbox, there was a tweet that mentioned December 5 as the new date. However, this message has since been deleted.
What about the patch for Battlefield 5? This is still unclear. The developers stated that the Tides of War update will be postponed. Whether the complete patch for Battlefield 5 will be delayed, which should also adjust the Time to Kill, or just the first free content delivery will take longer, is not known.
How are the fans reacting? Many fans are disappointed and react with mockery. “Welcome to Battlefield” is a common sentiment from Reddit users. They were initially excited about the new content that should have been in the game from the start, only to have it postponed moments later. Many are therefore annoyed and frustrated.
However, there are also voices calling for reason, emphasizing that it is better to hold back a flawed update briefly than to create more problems in the game.
Since its overhaul, the Overwatch hero Torbjörn has been receiving increased attention. Now a fan has taken the effort to produce a tribute video to the Swedish engineer.
This is what the community thinks about Torbjörn: The YouTuber dopatwo based his video on the meme that suggests players on opposing teams are always better than their own. The star of his project: Torbjörn.
He sharply depicts the impact of the overhaul of Torbjörn in the short video. The Swede emerges from a hellish portal and simultaneously has a Terminator-like appearance complete with a cyber-eye and interface reminiscent of Arnie.
Without much effort, Torbjörn then employs his new skills against an entire group of opponents and takes them out single-handedly. You can lose so quickly if your team isn’t careful. By the way: The opponents don’t really melt in Torbjörn’s new Ultimate. But they scream and that sounds pretty dirty.
Have you had similar experiences with overly good opposing players?
The next big patch for World of Warcraft is just around the corner. We will show you how to download it right now.
Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance (“Waves of Vengeance”) has been in development for many months. The new update for World of Warcraft is already almost finished, as the patch will be officially released in just a few days. The almost complete state of the work is also evident in the fact that the patch can be downloaded already. This eliminates a long wait on patch day.
How big is patch 8.1? The upcoming update for Battle for Azeroth is quite large, even by WoW standards. With 16.5 GB of new data, the patch consumes a lot of hard drive space and can take several hours to download on slow internet connections. If you want to hit the ground running on patch day, December 12, you should download the patch now.
How do you start the background download? To download the patch early, you need to follow these steps.
Start the Battle.net software.
Select the entry “World of Warcraft” and click on the gear for “Options” and choose “Game Settings”.
Now select the sub-menu “Installation & Updates” and scroll down to the entry “Game Updates”.
For the sub-point “Automatic Updates”, select the item “Install latest updates and download data for future updates”.
Scroll further down and enter “0 KB/s” in both fields under “Network Bandwidth” to set the download speed to “unlimited”.
Then confirm with “Done”.
Now the Battle.net launcher should start downloading patch 8.1.
More data may be needed on patch day: Regardless of this download, it may still be necessary to pull a small update on patch day to receive the last changes. However, this should normally be limited to a few hundred MB.
Are you looking forward to patch 8.1 Waves of Vengeance? Have you finished the current content and are craving new content? Or do you still have plenty to do?

The trailer that Bungie released on YouTube features Exo Ada-1. She is the vendor of the Black Armory and sends the Guardians on a quest to find the four “Forges of the Chain”.
In the trailer, you see the legendary and exotic weapons in combat. The following weapons are featured in the trailer:
Izanagi’s Burden – a sniper rifle that deals multi-damage
Le Monarque – a bow that creates a poison cloud on precision hits
Feelingless – a legendary scout rifle
Hammerhead – a legendary machine gun
Jötunn – an exotic fusion rifle that fires explosive projectiles that ignite the ground.
Kindled Orchid – a legendary hand cannon
Threat Level – a legendary shotgun
Anarchy – a grenade launcher that chains grenades with arc lightning
The Last Word – the iconic hand cannon from Destiny 1 returns in Destiny 2. This had not been confirmed yet. Thus, AnonTheNine was correct with his leak.
How do I get the new weapons? Only the owners of the Annual Pass have the opportunity to play the DLC “The Black Armory”. Only through this DLC can players get access to the weapons.
Players can look forward to exotic quests: At the end of the trailer, Bungie also announced the exotic quest “The Draw”. This will be released on January 29.

Recommended system requirements for the PC have now emerged. We summarize how these requirements look and what your PC needs to be able to do.
System requirements for the Anthem alpha
Your PC must meet these specs: A fan has published a screenshot from the PC registration for the alpha on Reddit. Here are the shown specs:
Operating system: 64-bit Windows 10
Processor: Intel Core i5 3570 or AMD FX-6350
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics card: NVIDIA GTX 970 4GB, AMD R9 390 8GB
Hard drive: At least 60 GB of free space
Are these the minimum requirements? No official information is available on this. Fans speculate on Reddit. They think: This is not about the minimum requirements, but the recommended settings.
How well the alpha will run is still up in the air. So far, there have been some streams that ran better at times and worse at others.
Are these specs a hint at the final requirements? It is too early to say. Currently, Anthem is in alpha status. Much or little could change before the release on February 22.
At least it is a rough indication of the areas in which Anthem operates.
Alpha of Anthem – Start and participation
How to participate in the alpha? Until recently, there was still a registration for the different phases of the anthem alpha on the EA playtesting site. The registration was ended on the evening of December 3rd.
Those who are late have to wait for the next opportunity.
When does the alpha start? It is stated to start on December 8th at 9 AM. Unfortunately, no time zone is specified with the time indication, so we do not know for sure which part of the world. You can find all the information about the start of the alpha of Anthem in a few days on MeinMMO.de.
Have you already registered? What do you think of the recommended specs?

1. Single-player story: In the war story “The Last Tiger” you belong to the crew of a Tiger I tank, carving your way through the destroyed streets at the German border. You find yourself in a seemingly unwinnable battle. And you must turn the tide of battle in your tank to your advantage.
2. New multiplayer map: In the new multiplayer map Tankstorm, you can prepare for large tank battles. Tanks face each other on Belgian soil. You need to proceed strategically to emerge victorious on the battlefield.
3. Practice area with friends: In a new practice area, you can refine your skills with the weapon, even alongside friends. Additionally, you can improve your vehicle skills there.
4. Medic class is improved: Players of the Medic class can be pleased. This class will be adjusted and thereby enhanced to match the others. Submachine guns will be improved at range to keep up with the assault rifles of other classes.
5. Faster reviving: Moreover, reviving teammates will be accelerated. This allows injured players to take control of their character again more quickly. A few days ago, DICE promised that they were working on that, and now the implementation arrives.
For Fortnite: Battle Royale, the long-awaited 1st teaser for Season 7 has finally been released. It features a villain instead of a Christmas idyll.
What is seen in the teaser? In the recently released 1st teaser for Season 7 in Fortnite, a dark figure made of ice can be seen. It has hauntingly glowing eyes and a spiky crown reminiscent of Sauron from The Lord of the Rings.
The entire figure rises like a dark iceberg from a white background. On the “shoulder” of the ice figure, a snowboarder can be seen.
Start date of Season 7 in Fortnite announced: Along with the image came the announcement that the Season 7 in Fortnite will start in 3 days. That will be Thursday, December 6.
Ice Monster and Snowboard?
What does the image mean? The nasty ice figure is a clear hint at the iceberg that is currently approaching the island. Recently, even lights have come on.
But apparently, nothing good is hidden in the iceberg. This confirms the winter theme of Season 7. But it seems that quiet Christmas will probably not be the case according to current knowledge.
What’s up with the snowboarder? An interesting detail about the image is the cheeky snowboarder who carefree “slopes down” the dark ice Sauron. This could hint at a new type of vehicle. Will you soon be able to snowboard in possibly snowy areas of the map?
What do you think of the new teaser image for Season 7? Does this confirm your suspicions, or were you expecting something completely different? By the way, here is the 2nd teaser image that describes the snowboarder in more detail.
Further information and speculations about Season 7 can be found here:
Many players have already reached the “endgame” in Fallout 76. They are now looking for rare recipes and constant improvements. To do this, they use a trick that the game allows without any issues.
This is how players farm faster: The technique that players use is called “server hopping”. In this approach, players search for their needed items and switch to another server if the item is not currently available on their server.
This way, they bypass wait times and respawns, allowing them to search for items or level up more quickly.
Server Hopping for More Loot and Experience
How does the trick work? In Fallout 76, players are always online. This also means that they need to connect to game servers when they want to play. The servers are currently only provided by Bethesda.
Which server you end up on when logging in is random. A different server means that the location of your C.A.M.P. may be occupied here, but it also means that enemies you killed on your old server may still be alive here.
To switch to another server, players simply log out right there through the menu after their actions. When they log back in, they will be on a different server and can start over.

Benefits of Server Hopping: Players use the technique for various purposes:
Deals with merchants
Random events
Quick leveling
Farming materials
Rare enemies
Some merchants have rare recipes, such as the one for the handmade rifle. Players farm this recipe by repeatedly logging out and back in at the respective merchants to check their offers.
Events work similarly. If an event is not currently available on the server, players log out and back in to see if it is there. Events provide special rewards and sometimes recipes later on.
The process is different for leveling and farming materials and enemies. Here, players defeat a lot of enemies or loot a location, then log in again to repeat the process. This way, they can get more loot and kills in a short time.
Is it allowed? Currently, there is nothing against practicing “server hopping”. The trick has been working for a long time in games like World of Warcraft. Since it is not a bug but intentional to end up on random servers, it is not an exploit either.
Nevertheless, some players discuss on Reddit whether something should be done about it. “Server Hoppers” do have a kind of advantage over “regular” players.
What do you think? Should “server hopping” be stopped, or is it okay?
In Destiny 2, clever players have discovered a way to catch a glimpse of one of the new event areas before the release of the Black Armory. Do you want to see where you will soon battle for new forges? Here’s how.
Tomorrow, on December 4, 2018, the Black Armory will be released, the first of a total of three premium DLCs as part of the Annual Pass.
Among other things, a new cooperative activity for 3 players, the “Forges of the Chain,” will make its way into Destiny 2. However, you already have the opportunity to take a look at one of the new event areas in advance.
How to Access the “Forges of the Chain” Event on Nessus
What’s it about? It appears that the corresponding event locations have already arrived in the game with Update 2.1.0. The YouTuber AmazingMrZach has found a way into such an area on Nessus.
The Gofannon Forge on Nessus
What can you see? It is very likely the site of the French-inspired Gofannon Forge, where Guardians will soon fight against hordes of enemies for new gear. The discovered area matches the corresponding official material from Bungie. However, the event itself is not yet live.
The Gofannon Forge
How to get there: If you want to explore the future event location in person beforehand, you need to keep the following in mind:
Head to the Artifact’s Edge area on Nessus
Select this landing zone on Nessus
Once there, you will need to go to the crashed ship, where one of the new mini-bosses may spawn, from which there can already be some of the new Black Armory weapons
Make your way from the spawn point to this area
There, you will need to jump through a small crack in the rock and pull yourself up at the edge
Run to this crack, jump up, and pull yourself up on the ledge
Then you will already be outside the regular map
After a few more steps, the game will register the exit from the game world, and you will be prompted to return
However, if you die at the corresponding spot and respawn, you will already spawn in the new area of the Gofannon Forge
