In Fortnite: Battle Royale, players are annoyed by the new turret. Therefore, Epic has already prepared the fourth and fifth nerfs to finally fix the controversial item.
What is the problem with the turrets? Hardly any item in recent months has caused as much of a stir as the new turret. It has only been in the game for a week and is causing a lot of frustration among players.
Many players see the turret as a major nuisance and consider the last week one of the worst in recent months. They are increasingly shouting, “Epic, finally remove that damn turret from the game!”
Epic is still trying to fix the turret
What has Epic done so far? However, the developers probably don’t want to hide their “baby” back in the vault just a week after its release. Therefore, they are diligently working on the item. So far, there have already been three nerfs:
The hit points have been reduced
It only dropped half as often in the Food Fight mode (where it was particularly dominant)
The halved drop chance was eventually extended to all modes
Still, Fortnite players were angry and found that “the turret has to go!”.
Heavy nerf power against the turret: Epic is trying again with a heavy nerf offensive. Firstly, according to developer Eric Williamson on Twitter, a hotfix will increase overheating and decrease the headshot multiplier.
Specific patch next week: For the upcoming update 6.31 next week, the hitbox of the shooter will also be made larger. This means that enemies will be able to hit you more easily when you’re sitting in the turret. Even from the front, which has been a big problem.
The salvation of the turret? If Epic’s plan works, the turret should finally have a worthy place among the items in Fortnite and no longer dominate the game. If not, it may just be a matter of time until the turret again disappears into the vault and likely won’t return anytime soon.
What do you think?Is the turret still salvageable, or was it a foolish idea from the start to include it in the game?
No Man’s Sky has just received an update called The Abyss a few weeks ago, which focused on underwater areas. However, according to a leak, the next expansion is already in the works.
Surprisingly, an unlisted trailer for No Man’s Sky has appeared on the YouTube channel of Hello Games. This seems to be a new update called “Visions,” which is supposed to introduce archaeology and recoveries.
How was Visions discovered? Players have now discovered, shortly after the release of The Abyss, an unlisted video on the YouTube channel of No Man’s Sky. This shows new content that could come to the game with the next update.

What does Visions bring with it? The exact contents are not yet known, as the developer studio Hello Games always keeps details under wraps until the release of an update. Nevertheless, the video gives a preview:
Share your progress in community missions globally
Visual enhancements like rainbows and fireworks
Some questions remain unanswered
When will the update be released? Currently, it is not known when Visions will be released for No Man’s Sky. It hasn’t even been officially announced yet.
How does the community react: Initially, there was discussion about whether the video is real. However, the community now agrees that Visions will indeed be the next major update for No Man’s Sky. And the excitement is great. However, there are also concerns that there might be a reset of players’ home worlds due to the introduction of new biomes.

If you want to be precise with Ashe in Overwatch, you have a problem. Aiming isn’t that easy, and a bug is to blame.
The latest hero Ashe is very popular in Overwatch, after all, she and her colleague B.O.B. clear opponents off the battlefield. However, the gaming experience is slightly marred, at least in the PC version of Overwatch. Players complain that aiming while zooming in feels weird. This has now been confirmed by Game Director Jeff Kaplan.
What is the bug? The animation with which Ashe transitions into her “zoom mode” (Aim Down Sight = ADS) is choppy and appears jittery when displayed on PCs with more than 60 frames per second. The actual aiming of the character does not change, but the jittery animation makes it seem like you are aiming imprecisely. This confuses many players and leads to situations where you are sure of a hit yet still miss.
When will the fix come? Jeff Kaplan has not yet provided a specific date for the fix. Although they are working to implement the change as soon as possible, it is unlikely to be ready within the current PTR cycle (1.31), but probably with Patch 1.32 instead. This may take a few more weeks. The reason is that the fix requires “a lot of lines of code” and needs extensive testing.
A workaround can help: If you want to disable the bug in the meantime, you should cap your frame rate in Overwatch to 60. Then the display error does not occur, and the animation appears smooth. If you’re not playing Ashe, you can, of course, continue playing with the full frame rate your PC can handle.
Have you even noticed the bug with Ashe? Or could you land precise hits with her without any issues?
The 6th Ascendant Challenge in the Cimmerian Garrison is now active in Destiny 2 We will show you where the portal is located and how the mechanics work in the challenge.
Now the Guardians in Destiny 2: Forsaken have one week to tackle the 6th Ascendant Challenge. If you master this challenge, you will receive powerful gear as a reward. This is the last new Ascendant Challenge, as with the next reset, these challenges will reset and rotate from the beginning.
How to receive the Ascendant Challenge: First, visit Petra Venj in the Dreaming City. She is located this week right at the landing zone of the Dreaming City.
Location of Petra Venj
How the Ascendant Challenge 6 in the Cimmerian Garrison Works
The requirement for the bounty: Get the bounty from Petra for 1500 Glimmer. You will also need a consumable item called “Queen’s Leaf Tincture.” With this tincture, your mind will be open to the secrets of the Dreaming City for 30 minutes. You can obtain this item randomly from all possible chests you find in the city. The recommended power level for this challenge is 540.
How to enter the Ascendant Realm: In week 6, the portal is located in the Star Light Chamber of the Dreaming City. Don’t forget to take a tincture so that the portal becomes visible to you.
Entrance to the Lost Sector
Once you appear at the spawn point, mount your Sparrow and head northeast (top right). Follow the passage into the area of Rheasilvia. Once you emerge outside there, stick to the right against the rock wall until you reach a gorge. Look down. There you will see a ledge marked with the sign of a Lost Sector. You need to go in there.
Now follow the path of the cave until you reach a massive underground hall. Stay left there. On a brightly lit ledge with a tree is the portal – right above the Lost Sector chest.
In the Ascendant Realm: When you pass through the portal, you will arrive in the Cimmerian Garrison of the Ascendant Realm. It is now time to demonstrate your parkour and survival skills.
Upon your arrival, some Darkness Knights will already spawn around you. You can ignore them. Follow the light as you continue up the garrison. Alongside the light orb, the enemies that appear serve as a good indicator that you are on the right path.
Source: Venero TV on YouTube
Along the way, further knights, phalanxes, screamers, and snipers will continually make life difficult for you. Scout rifles, sniper rifles like the Whisper of the Worm, or linear fusion rifles like the Sleeper Simulant are particularly recommended here. This way, you can battle the goblin snipers and phalanxes from a safe distance and gradually work your way through the Cimmerian Garrison.
But don’t stay too long, or the knights will close in on you. About halfway, the knights will also remove their helmets, making them faster and more aggressive. Killing them all doesn’t achieve much, as new ones will spawn continuously.
Now kill the knight: When you arrive at the altar on the last arena-shaped island, a large Ascendant Knight will spawn. This one must be defeated. Additional screamers will also appear around you, but you can ignore them unless you hide on the standing pillars in front of the knight. Only then will they shoot at you.
This is where the boss fight takes place (Source: Venero TV on YouTube)
If you choose to fight the knight from above, be sure to take out the screamers as quickly as possible. If you are fighting on the ground and not using the pillars as escape routes, you will only need to take out some additional enemies that will spawn during the fight.
Once you have defeated the knight, the chest will also spawn. When you open it, the Ascendant Challenge is complete.
The Ascendant Challenge of Week 6 in Video: You can see the way to the portal and the entire challenge in the following video from Venero TV:

Pump shotguns have a long history in Fortnite: Battle Royale, which will continue next week. Because pump shotguns will be able to send opponents back to the lobby with one shot again. However, there are limitations for shotguns in Fortnite!
For a long time, pump shotguns were considered the best weapon for close combat, but they have since lost this status. For many players, the time was legendary when you could cause fear and panic with two pump shotguns if you played it right.
However, Epic has put a stop to this approach. Deprived of their favorite tactic, shotgun players also had to endure a damage nerf. The pump could no longer eliminate opposing players with one shot.
Memes like this could be possible again in the future
At least for now! Because as Epic announced via Twitter, the pump shotguns will receive a buff with the next update 6.31.
Pump shotguns – one-hits possible again
This is how Epic is changing the shotguns: Essentially, Epic wants to increase the attractiveness of the pump shotguns, but without disrupting the balance, as it was during the peak of the double pump. Specifically, Epic will change the following:
The damage of pump shotguns will be increased
The range of pump shotguns will be slightly reduced
ALL shotguns will deal a minimum damage of 3 shots (even if only two hit)
The blue pump shotgun will be adjusted to 10 damage per “pellet”. If all projectiles hit critically within range, you will deal 200 damage – a direct kill. How noticeable the range nerf will be can only be seen after the patch.
Also benefits from minimum damage – the heavy shotgun
Minimum damage on shotguns, what does that mean? Let’s stay with the example of the rare (blue) pump shotgun. If one pellet deals 10 damage, you will always at least deal 30 damage. Even if only two projectiles find their target.
However, Epic points out that shots outside the effective range will still reduce the damage dealt. However, from next week on, it will always be assumed that you hit at least three projectiles.
What do you think of the changes? Will they change the game?
The community has been discussing a hidden mechanic in the Gambit mode of Destiny 2 for quite some time. The Destiny expert Mercules has now conducted extensive tests and shared his findings with the Guardian community.
Fans suspect a hidden mechanic in Gambit: According to many fans, the gameplay experience in the Gambit mode can vary greatly from match to match. Sometimes the AI enemies go down easily, while at other times, they seem to take you out just by giving you a sideways glance.
The fans have been discussing for some time what might be causing this. The most widespread theory is that there might be a hidden mechanic that controls the behavior and certain parameters of the AI enemies.
Many suspect that this mechanic is meant to restrain overpowering teams and give lagging teams a chance to catch up. It is believed to be a kind of hidden catch-up mechanic that intervenes differently for each team depending on the match’s progress.
Is there a hidden catch-up mechanic in Gambit? Here’s what the test says
This is how the testing was conducted: The Destiny expert Mercules has thoroughly tested this aspect. For the tests, he used the Gambit Pulse Rifle The Recluse and the Hand Cannon Duke Mk. 44. He compared the following criteria:
Damage dealt to enemies while ahead compared to tie
Damage dealt to enemies while behind compared to tie
Damage taken by the player while ahead compared to tie
Damage taken by the player while behind compared to tie
Damage dealt to the “Shiny” enemies when far behind
Damage dealt to the “Shiny” enemies when only slightly behind
What did the test conclude? After extensive testing, Mercules concluded that there is no hidden catch-up mechanic in Gambit. The damage dealt to the different enemy types (critical and normal) remained consistent with both weapons, regardless of whether the team was winning, falling behind, or in a tie.
Additionally, the damage taken from the different enemy types – whether from enemies with red, orange, or yellow health bars – did not change in the various situations. When ahead, behind, or in a tie, the damage taken from the respective enemy types was always the same.
The damage tested purely for fun against the glowing elite enemies also showed no variation. Whether one is slightly behind or completely obliterated by the enemy seems to have no effect.
In conclusion, the following points can be made:
Damage dealt during a Gambit match does not increase or decrease – regardless of whether you win or lose
Enemies do not deal more or less damage during a match – regardless of whether you win or lose
The perception that the second round is harder stems, according to Mercules, from the fact that it actually is harder. In this round, players face more orange-bar enemies that take less damage from the player but are generally more accurate and quicker in their shooting.
This condition is, however, universal, applying to both teams. The feeling of being obliterated by the AI enemies in the second round often arises because players do not change their playstyle compared to the first round, even though the enemies in the second round are tougher.
Who is Mercules? Mercules has established himself multiple times as an expert and enjoys a very good reputation in the Destiny community.
He is likely remembered by many fans from his time as a theorycrafter at PlanetDestiny, where he was famous for his detailed weapon breakdowns. Additionally, he worked as a selected gameplay specialist for Bungie and supported them as a community representative during the development of Forsaken.
The leader of the Horde in World of Warcraft is increasingly resembling Arthas. Patch 8.1 brings new parallels between Sylvanas and the Lich King.
The development of Lady Sylvanas Windrunner is a source of constant discussion in the World of Warcraft community. While some players celebrate her devastating campaign, other fans believe that Sylvanas is becoming more and more of a cliché villain. Still others think that Sylvanas is slowly but surely becoming what she has always hated: Lich King Arthas.
War of the Thorns was the beginning: Already with the War of the Thorns, there were some parallels between Arthas and Sylvanas. Arthas killed Sylvanas and then effectively forced her to watch the destruction of Silvermoon.
Sylvanas did something similar with Delaryn, positioning her head so that she could watch the burning of Teldrassil.
Both Sylvanas and Delaryn are ultimately resurrected as undead (Delaryn only in the course of Patch 8.1).
Sylvanas is increasingly on a campaign where she transforms everything and everyone into undead and no longer shows consideration for individual races. In Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance, she not only raises humans but also night elves and even a blood elf, despite this being strictly forbidden by the leader of the blood elves, Lor’themar Theron.
The Lich King Arthas also dreamed of a world where everything had succumbed to undeath to withstand external threats, such as the Burning Legion and the Void. Therefore, he wanted to lure the greatest champions and make them servants of the Scourge.
More Parallels in Patch 8.1
The YouTuber Bellular pointed out several other parallels between Arthas and Sylvanas in Patch 8.1. There, Derek Prachtmeer is forcibly brought back to life by Sylvanas and states that he wants to be “mentally reprogrammed” – that is, subjected to brainwashing.
For this purpose, Derek is hung on a wall, chained with shadow chains, and is apparently permanently subjected to manipulating magic or other substances. This can be seen in this video starting at the timestamp (07:30):

Who also hung a prisoner and tried to break his will? Correct, Arthas Menethil as Lich King. He hung Bolvar Fordragon above his throne and tortured him for the duration of the entire raid.
There are now too many parallels between Arthas and Sylvanas to still speak of mere “coincidences”. Where Blizzard wants to take this story is still uncertain.
On Tuesday evening, the fourth title update for FIFA 19 went live. In addition to more star heads, EA Sports made significant changes to the defense.
What was the problem with the defense? Players had complained that the AI defense was too strong. It was too easy to let the computer handle the defensive work, and players were not rewarded enough for taking control of the defense themselves. The new title update is supposed to change that with various measures: In response to player feedback, EA Sports took a closer look at the defensive behavior – especially the AI defense.
New update first on PC: Just recently, the title update 3 was released, and now the next patch for FIFA 19 follows. As with the previous updates, number 4 is initially available only for PC, with consoles to follow later.
Patch Notes: AI players no longer block the ball as effectively
Before the update: Computer-controlled players could block a ball flying toward the goal just as effectively as player-controlled players. It looked effectively like this:

Before the update: Teams that based their defensive tactic on applying constant pressure to the opponent lost too little stamina. This is what the stamina picture looked like after 90 minutes before the update:
After the update: Constantly applying pressure to the opponent now demands significantly more stamina:
More star heads
Players even more realistic: As in the last update, more star heads are coming into play – faces that look more like the original players. In total, 42 players are receiving an update – including Diego Godin and Mauro Icardi:
The complete list of new star heads and further details about the update can be found in the FIFA Patch Notes.
Another update again: Thus, just two months after the release of the game, the fourth major update for FIFA 19 follows. The last patch caused trouble – many players were actually very satisfied with the game before the updates came.

On Reddit, a player initiated a discussion around Black Desert and the topic of environmental protection. However, players are divided on the issue.
According to some players, those who want to stay on top in Black Desert rely on using the game’s AFK activities. The computer must always be running in the background.
Black Desert offers legal bots with a catch
In Black Desert Online, players can engage in many activities without needing to sit at their computers. From horse training to fishing to EXP grinding, much is possible. Many Black Desert players enjoy strengthening their characters or passively earning money while going about their daily lives. The game ultimately provides legal bots that are an important part of the gameplay. Nevertheless, some players resort to hacks and illegal bots.
The computer must run 24/7: However, many AFK activities have a catch. Players must remain online for their characters to complete the “programmed” tasks. If the computer is turned off or a player logs out and exits Black Desert, the digital avatar stops working as well.
Player demands: “Make AFK activities offline”
Criticism of the AFK system: A Black Desert player has taken to Reddit to express this and hopes to reach the publisher of Black Desert in the West, Kakao Games. He himself paid several hundred euros for electricity alone in the last five years, just to keep Black Desert running on his computer while he works.
He views this situation critically, as no real value is generated for the electricity consumed. In his opinion, there is nothing against allowing certain AFK activities to be offline to save electricity.
Conflicting opinions: The Black Desert community is divided on this issue. Some players clearly advocate for the possibility of allowing AFK activities to be offline.
Anyone who wants to excel in PvP or in the numerous economic aspects of Black Desert relies on AFK activities. Not all players can afford this luxury.
On Xbox One, entirely different problems arise. Compared to PC, players there cannot simply play something else while their characters go about their tasks.
Especially with regard to consumerism and climate change, keeping the PCs running continuously would be problematic. Energy comes from power plants that operate with coal or nuclear energy.
Another part of the players is critical of the demand to allow AFK activities offline.
In their opinion, AFK activities are unnecessary to compete in PvP. Players simply gain an additional source of income for the in-game currency silver.
Players would run multiple accounts simultaneously, flooding the market with resources. This is currently being curtailed because an additional computer must be on for each account.
“Black Desert will never allow that”
Players are also actively commenting in the Reddit post, explaining why developer Pearl Abyss or publisher Kakao Games will never enable AFK activities to be offline.
Because AFK activities require constant logging in, player numbers are artificially inflated. By adding lucrative AFK activities, players are pushed to remain logged in permanently.
Moreover, players easily gain access to the cash shop this way, where they can purchase efficiency-boosting costumes, such as the Venecil costume set.
Do players really want to save the environment? Of course, some players on Reddit clearly advocate for environmental protection. They dislike the idea of their computer running while they are out of the house.
Yet there are also some players on Reddit who advocate for offline AFK bots, as it would allow them to farm items and money even more efficiently with multiple accounts.
What do you think? Would you support the removal of the online requirement for AFK features, or do you clearly speak against it?

On November 16, Pokémon: Let’s GO was released. We’ll tell you why Pokémon GO players should definitely play this game.
The new Let’s GO games are not just classic console games. The games can also be connected with Pokémon GO, making them ideal for fans of the mobile game.
We will explain the advantages for Let’s GO players and why you should try these new games too.
Let’s GO is a time travel
In Let’s GO, Pikachu and Let’s GO, Evoli, everything revolves around the old Pokémon games. You walk through the Kanto region again and can catch first-generation Pokémon. It’s like a time travel back to the days when you secretly played Pokémon under the blanket on your Game Boy.
For the old-school players: Those who started playing Pokémon GO mainly because they loved the first generation and grew up with it will find themselves in the Let’s GO games.
For PvP fans: Those who miss the battles against other trainers in Pokémon GO will be satisfied with Pokémon: Let’s GO. There, you can challenge other trainers to battle as many times as you want.
Ideal in winter: For those who belong to the player base that dislikes freezing their fingers and prefers to play Pokémon GO in warmer temperatures, the winter time can be perfectly bridged with Let’s GO. You stay on topic and you can also trade Pokémon with Pokémon GO.
Let’s GO connected with Pokémon GO: As mentioned, you can send Pokémon from Pokémon GO to the Let’s GO games. This way, you maintain your Pokémon GO account while also benefiting in the Let’s GO games.
Faster to Melmetal: The current special research in Pokémon GO revolves around the Pokémon Meltan. This Pokémon was first discovered in connection with the Let’s GO games. Meltan’s evolution, Melmetal, requires 400 candies in Pokémon GO. These are not obtained from special research.
The solution is the Let’s GO games. With each trade, you receive a mystery box that contains several Meltan. These also provide enough candies. So if you want to get a Melmetal without much effort, you should get one of the Let’s GO games.
Shiny hunting: Shiny hunters can also have a blast in the Let’s GO games. Each of the 153 Pokémon can also be obtained as Shiny. The hunt is on!
Playable on the go thanks to the Switch: Fans of mobile games can also play the Let’s GO games on the go. The Nintendo Switch is not just a console for the TV; it also features its own screen that can be used anywhere.
It connects old with new
Pokémon: Let’s GO is good at connecting something old with something new. You catch the old Pokémon that you caught 20 years ago, but with a new catching method that has never existed before.
How do you catch the Pokémon? Catching Pokémon feels like being a real Pokémon trainer. You hold the Pokéball Plus in your hand, which acts as a controller, and with a motion of your arm, you throw the ball at a Pokémon. After catching 100 Pokémon and experiencing muscle soreness in your arm, you have an idea of what a Pokémon trainer must feel like.
Pokémon: Let’s GO connects everything together. It provides Pokémon GO players with a worthy substitute for the cold winter days and attracts new players with a special gameplay. The bonuses that a Pokémon GO player receives while playing, namely the lots of Meltan, are also a good incentive to make a purchase.

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, the famous Twitch star Ninja is currently under fire. The blame lies on some controversial actions surrounding the streamer. In an interview with Daniel “Keemstar” Keem, Ninja has now lamented his plight and outlined the problems and downsides of Twitch fame.
What exactly happened? Ninja, the famous and wealthy Fortnite streamer, is currently facing a few problems. He has repeatedly reported opponents during streams who, in his opinion, defeated him unfairly:
One enemy, according to Ninja, had engaged in stream-sniping, and Ninja boasted that he would do everything in his power to get him banned. In the end, however, the player turned out to be innocent, and Ninja had to apologize.
Another opponent was said to have entered the game with a poor ping and was also reported by Ninja.
Conspiracy against Ninja: The latest case even led to a devious conspiracy, where a banned player swapped names with the reported gamer and then spread via Reddit that Ninja had the power to ban anyone he disliked.
The topic was heavily discussed on Reddit and elsewhere, and the thread with the “proof” quickly garnered over 44,000 upvotes. People seemed to confirm their prejudices about Ninja as an arrogant jerk.
Ninja speaks out in an interview
As Ninja’s reputation is currently severely tarnished and the accusations stemming from the conspiracy show no sign of dying down, even after several explanations, including those from Epic and famous streamers, Ninja has now appeared on the show of YouTuber Daniel “Keemstar” Keem.
Ninja is getting so much hate: There, Ninja laments that since the incident regarding the ban accusation, he has received a lot of negative attention: “I get hate on all social media!” The damage is done, and his reputation is tarnished. Even explanations seem unlikely to help.

Gamers are far too critical: Ninja, who increasingly gets worked up during the interview, continues and complains about the unequal treatment that streamers receive compared to professional athletes and rappers:
When LeBron [a basketball star] lands a big deal, no one says, “I won’t support LeBron anymore. He makes enough money; I won’t buy his jersey anymore!” For rappers, the only goal is to accumulate as much money as possible and flaunt it. 15 cars, a new house, you know. Piles of money, going to the club, throwing a million bucks, and so on.
And people are just like, “Yeah man, throw down the million, stack another pile on top!” But people still buy their albums and continue supporting them. They have pictures online where they are draped in gold chains and get 2 million likes.
If I or another YouTuber who earns decent money posted something like that, it would immediately be “you hypocrite.” I can’t wrap my head around that!
Is the limit of success reached? According to Ninja, it seems to be a problem that as a successful streamer, you eventually hit a ceiling and get more criticism than recognition.
His new blue streaming fame has not been well received by all his fans, and some long-time supporters are said to have turned away from him because he has “enough money” already.

Is Ninja too toxic? Other fans are reportedly becoming fed up with Ninja’s attitude. The streamer has apparently become quite toxic lately, which is exemplified by the reports of disliked opponents. One fan thus urges him to take a break and let go of the toxicity.
Ninja, on the other hand, seems to be planning big and announces actions in the coming months to take “the whole Ninja thing” to a whole new level. This likely also refers to his planned New Year’s event in New York.
What is your opinion on the matter?Are streamers treated unfairly by their fans?
Mages are getting their beloved Ragnaros back in Hearthstone. Additionally, their hero ability can soon deal 9 damage.
The next expansion of Hearthstone is Rastakhan’s Rumble and will be released in just a few weeks. Blizzard is gradually introducing new cards through streams and YouTubers. We want to present some of the highlights here, so you can already get an impression of the new mechanics coming your way.
Mages Love Ragnaros
Mages seem to have rediscovered their love for Ragnaros as they can summon him with the new minion Jan’alai, the Dragonhawk. It costs 7 mana and has stats of 4/4, and has the Battlecry: “Summon Ragnaros the Firelord if your hero ability has dealt at least 8 damage in this game”.
To make this easier to achieve, mages also have the minion Spirit of the Dragonhawk for 2 mana. It has stats of 0/3 and has Stealth in the first turn, along with the passive effect that the hero ability also hits adjacent minions.
Equally helpful is the Bold Firebreather, a minion with 1/1 stats for just 1 mana. Its Battlecry ensures that the next use of the hero ability in this turn deals 2 additional damage points.
Combining the Bold Firebreather with the Spirit of the Dragonhawk, you can already deal 9 damage with a hero ability, fulfilling the conditions for summoning Ragnaros!
Warlocks Want to Discard Cards
Warlocks seems to be focusing again on the discard mechanic. At least all the cards introduced so far have some benefit from this mechanic.
High Priestess Jeklik is the legendary minion of warlocks. For 4 mana, she has stats of 3/4 and has Taunt and Lifesteal. When you discard this card, you gain 2 copies of it back in your hand. So, in theory, she can almost endlessly multiply.
The Gigantic Terror Troll for 3 mana with stats of 2/6 follows the same theme. He comes with Taunt, but has the Battlecry to discard the lowest-cost card.
The Soulsworn for 6 mana with stats of 6/6 allows lost cards to return. As a Battlecry, she grants the warlock 3 random cards back to their hand that they discarded in this game.
Lastly, there is the spell Wailing Scream for 1 mana that deals 2 damage to all minions, making it a powerful, cheap board clear. In addition to the cost, however, you will discard the lowest-cost card.
Are you looking forward to Rastakhan’s Rumble? Or have you turned your back on Hearthstone recently?
A Black Ops 4 player is currently sparking a lot of conversation on Reddit. Despite a handicap, he is making waves in the Blackout mode. The Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 community is thrilled.
Martin is 21 years old, a YouTuber, Twitch streamer, and an enthusiastic Black Ops 4 fan. Especially the Battle Royale mode Blackout of the latest Call of Duty installment has captivated him. There he has even managed to score his first victories.
Player with a handicap fights for victories in Blackout
Community is thrilled: What may initially not sound particularly exciting is currently delighting the Black Ops 4 community on Reddit. They are almost overflowing with praise and respect for MoaningCamel – which is Martin’s channel and player name. Within just 12 hours, the post has garnered over 7,000 upvotes.
This is what makes Martin’s achievement so special: Martin was born without hands, which greatly limits him while playing, and he has to rely on special input devices. However, this restriction has not stopped him from developing a passion for video games and sharing this joy with others.
Martin doesn’t just play: In the team modes of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout, he competes at the forefront with his friends and has managed to achieve multiple victories. But anyone thinking that he is just being carried by a good team is sorely mistaken.
His disability is not noticeable when viewing the gameplay. He is an excellent sniper, mastering numerous weapons and equipment, but also holds his own in close range, which he visibly enjoys. He can assert himself even against multiple opponents.
It is precisely this carefree attitude and his enormous skill that resonates well with the Reddit community. Many admit that even without restrictions, they cannot play as Martin does despite his disability. Martin himself takes it all in stride and is happy that he made it to the front page of Reddit.
Here you can see more of Martin: If you want to take a look at Martin while he plays or support him – here are his channels:
RaiderZ is a actually dead action MMORPG from Asia. But thanks to a dedicated new studio and still loyal fans, the work on a reboot seems to be going better than expected.
What is RaiderZ? This game was an MMORPG with an action combat system like TERA. Unfortunately, it had no great luck and was shut down in 2015 by the then publisher Gameforge.
The reasons included the vague controls and the close tie to a cash shop with sometimes questionable offers. For instance, you had to pay real money for reskills.
Reboot is progressing well
After RaiderZ came to an end, in 2017 the publisher Masangsoft announced the reboot of the game. They did not specify an exact timeframe. However, the new owners agreed that they could not simply put RaiderZ back online. They would have to properly work on the game and revive it with a lot of love and dedication.
In this regard, they aim to adjust the following aspects:
An improved story
Repeatable endgame content
No more class-based progression, instead more freedom in skill allocation
More variety in endgame items
Better hit detection in combat
How far along are they? The developers’ Facebook page has been diligently documenting every progress and announcement for a year. There is now also a video that shows the latest progress, including improvements to the dodging system, the user interface, and character creation.

For a game that dates back to 2012, the reboot looks really good. Let’s hope that the new version meets the expectations of the small but dedicated fanbase and gives RaiderZ a long second life.
What are your thoughts on such reboots? Wasted energy or a real chance for success?
Here is another game that was once thought to be dead from Asia, hoping for a second chance:
For Fortnite: Battle Royale, the next update to Patch 6.30 is online. You will receive the already announced Western mode and a new weapon. Additionally, there’s a new hero and revolvers for Save the World.
With a patch for Update 6.30, another wave of additional content comes to the game. The highlight is clearly the already repeatedly leaked Wild West mode with dynamite. But there’s also something new to discover in the PvE mode Save the World.
New mode – Wild West: As already assumed based on leaks and a telling tweet, the new limited-time duo game mode “Wild West” has arrived today. Different rules apply here along with a radically limited selection of weapons and equipment:
The Wild West mode replaces the Disco Dominance, but the Food Fight is still available.
New item – Dynamite: This item is a type of grenade that flies less far. It explodes cylindrically and deals 70 damage to players and a hefty 800 damage to buildings. So another item against builders. Warning: The fuse burns for exactly 5 seconds, and the dynamite explodes even if you are still holding it!
New tournament: The Raider Pop-Up Cup (Duos) has been adjusted. The resource limit has been reduced from 500 to 300. However, you now receive 5 instead of 3 explosives in grenade stacks.
The patch highlights in PvE
New hero: The explosives expert “8-Bit Demo” is now available in the weekly shop. From Thursday, November 22, to November 29 at 01:00 CEST, he will be available. He can deploy decoys to lure enemies to fixed locations. There he blows them away!
New weapon: The ghost pistol is also available in the shop. From November 22 to November 29 at 01:00 CEST, you can buy it. The weapon has a low fire rate and its ghost bullets penetrate enemies and walls!
Comic novels of League of Legends in collaboration with Marvel are in the works. The first story revolves around the archer Ashe.
Next year, LoL fans can look forward to “Ashe: Warmother.” The comic novel is planned for May 2019 and is set to showcase Ashe’s story. There will also be a digital edition this year.
Who is Ashe? Ashe is one of the champions who have been available in League of Legends for a long time. Due to her low acquisition price, she quickly becomes a staple for most players and is therefore very well-known.
Ashe Comic “Warmother” – All Info
For those who do not want to wait for the release of the book in May 2019, they can also view the stories digitally.
When will the comic be available digitally? If you don’t necessarily need to hold the comic in your hand, you can read it already this year. On December 19, 2019, you will be able to read Ashe: Warmother digitally. From then on, a new issue is to be released every month.
Who writes the book? The stories are written by Odin Austin Shafer.
What is Ashe: Warmother about? The comic tells the story of one of the original champions, Ashe. She struggles with her role as a leader for her people in Runeterra and the fanatical demands of her mother.
In Marvel’s press release, it states that many fans of the Marvel Universe and comics share the same interests and passions for storytelling as the gaming community.
Why League of Legends? The unique world of LoL and the wide range of characters are perfect for comic books, explains C.B. Cebulski from Marvel.
Greg Street from Riot Games says: We love comics as a way to tell stories. It gives fans the opportunity to see the world of Runeterra, not just read about it. We see similarities between the LoL and Marvel universes. Both have a variety of characters with compelling and diverse backgrounds.
What other comics will be released? So far, only the comic about Ashe has been announced. However, there is to be a series of comics, the titles of which have not yet been disclosed. The stories of fan favorites are supposed to be covered. Will the new heroine Neeko also soon be among the favorites?
YouTuber Esoterickk is making headlines again in Destiny 2. The extraordinary player known for his solo runs has now completed the Shattered Throne all by himself – and completely without weapons.
The Shattered Throne is a new activity from the Forsaken expansion and embodies a kind of mini-raid for three players. And this dungeon is quite challenging; even well-coordinated teams of three Guardians have a tough time with it. However, even this activity could not withstand Esoterickk’s exceptional talent for long, as he impressively demonstrates in his latest YouTube video.
What does the video show? Esoterickk sets out and plays the entire activity alone and without any weapons. He only uses the abilities and Super of his character. This time, he even puts aside his beloved Titan and plays the Shattered Throne with a Hunter.
He comments on this achievement in his usual unremarkable and self-critical manner. It was mainly a game of patience; only the final boss battle turned out to be quite tough. He could have defeated the boss in one phase, but he wanted to play it safe. After all, this was the first time in an entire month that he hasn’t played Destiny.
The video is comparatively long, so if you want to watch specific sections of it – here are the timestamps:
[00:00] – The Entrance Area
[16:26] – The Descent
[20:35] – Hobgoblin Hall and Ogre
[31:14] – The First Boss Battle
[54:11] – The Path to the Final Boss
[61:19] – Dul Incaru – the Final Boss
By the way: Esoterickk’s impressive video is now a candidate for the official Video of the Week at Bungie. It is also well-received within the community. The post has now garnered more than 4,200 upvotes on Reddit, where users are showering him with praise.
How did Esoterickk achieve this? For this spectacular run, he used the Gunslinger Hunter with the Way of a Thousand Cuts. By combining the Super “Blade Barrage”, the perk “Playing with Fire”, and the Hunter’s dodge which recharges the melee attack, he had throwing knives available almost continuously.
The exotic Hunter chest piece Ophidia Spatha further enhanced this combination. It grants the wearer two knives per charge, both of which recharge on dodging. This made his endeavor considerably easier and provided sufficient damage output during the boss fights.
What do you think of Esoterickk’s performance? Have you ever accomplished something similar as a Guardian in the world of Destiny?
In World of Warcraft, there are currently massive reputation bonuses that you can combine. Those who use them unlock Allied Races in no time.
The Allied Races are one of the core features of World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth. However, only a few players have unlocked the Allied Races, as in many cases, you have to complete old content that most players no longer find enjoyable. Many days of reputation farming are ahead if you want to unlock the Highmountain Tauren, Void Elves, or Lightforged Draenei.
Currently, however, there are two buffs that significantly maximize reputation gain.
The 14th anniversary of WoW: Those who log into World of Warcraft now will find mail in their mailbox with a gift from the developers. This includes a (multiple-use) item that increases gained experience and reputation for one hour by 14%. The item is usable until November 29, after which the WoW birthday event ends.
Feast of the Pilgrims Bonus: From November 19 to 25, the Feast of the Pilgrims will also take place in WoW. Here, you can receive the buff “Sharing is Caring” at large feast tables in all major cities of the Horde and Alliance. This increases reputation gain for one hour by 10%. To receive the buff, you simply need to eat 5 servings of all foods at a table. This can be done solo, but goes faster with other players.
In summary, this leads to a reputation bonus of a proud 24%, reducing the necessary farming and questing time by about a quarter.
