In Pokémon GO, trainers now have their last chance at Giratina. On November 20, the legendary raid boss will be leaving.
Anyone who hasn’t caught the legendary raid boss Giratina should hurry. Because soon this Ghost and Dragon-type Pokémon will disappear from the scene. When it will return to raids is not known.
Giratina will disappear tomorrow evening
Together with the Halloween event, Niantic released the legendary Pokémon. After three weeks, it will be over for Giratina.
Until when is the raid boss catchable? On the evening of November 20 at 10 PM, Giratina will disappear from raids. Until then, you can challenge it in a Level 5 raid.
What is effective against Giratina? Giratina is weak against Dragon, Fairy, Ice, Ghost, and Dark-type Pokémon. The best counters to Giratina are listed here for you.
Who will replace Giratina? So far, it is not known who will be Giratina’s successor. Dialga and Palkia, which are part of the dimensional trio with Giratina, could be the new legendary bosses.
The return of Rayquaza or Groudon is also possible. Unlike Kyogre, they have not returned yet. This would be worthwhile for trainers, as they are among the best attackers in Pokémon GO.
Completing Meltan quests through raids: It is a good time to participate in raids right now. In the Meltan quests, two tasks revolve around participating in raids. There is no better time to challenge Giratina in raids.
Current events: Besides Giratina, there are also new raid bosses from levels 1 to 4 found in raids. Additionally, the Let’s GO event is currently running, providing particularly many Kanto Pokémon. It’s worth going outside, even as it gets colder.
Have you caught a Giratina yet? What’s your best one?
The warfront in World of Warcraft is once again available for the Horde. The Horde can start and grab some serious loot.
Farming the resources has paid off, the attack can finally begin. On the European servers of World of Warcraft, the warfront from Arathi Highlands is accessible from today (November 19, 2018). Horde players can sign up and casually grab rewards with item level 370.
Who can participate? Currently, only Horde players who have reached level 120, completed the introductory quest chain, and have achieved a minimum item level of 320 can participate. Registration is possible at the mission table at the harbor of Dazar’alor.
What rewards are available? The first successful completion of a warfront is sweetened by a quest reward. A reward box awaits that drops a random equipment item with item level 370+. This should still be a clear upgrade for most players!
In addition, there is a possibility to also receive items with item level 340+ at the end of a battleground.
How does the warfront proceed?We have explained this in a detailed guide. You must capture several control points, collect resources (wood and iron), and gradually take the Arathi Highlands. In the end, there awaits a boss fight that will determine the victory.
When does the Alliance get its turn? According to the display, the Horde has exactly one week to participate in the warfront (until Sunday, November 25, 2018). After that, the Alliance loses control over Arathi and begins to gather resources through daily quests. This process last time took about four to five days. After that, the Alliance can start the attack and the Horde must defeat rare enemies in the Arathi Highlands in the meantime.
Are you still playing the warfront in the repeated round? Or have you already lost interest?
The new champion in League of Legends (LoL) is Neeko. She can take on the forms of other champions and deceive her opponents. The trailer shows Neeko in action.
A new heroine is on the way for the MOBA League of Legends. First introduced with a teaser, the trailer for Neeko is now available.
What does the trailer show? The community speculated based on the 15-second teaser that the new champion can take on the form of other champions. The new trailer confirms this. The video shows the advantages of Neeko, the curious chameleon.
Throughout the video, you can see how Neeko can take on the form of other champions like Ezreal or Hecarim.
Does Neeko also take on abilities? It seems that Neeko can only visually adapt to other champions. This likely includes the appearance of automatic attacks.
What do the fans say? On Reddit, the reactions are widely divided.
One user writes: Oh no, she is really cute!
Others are happy that Riot makes her look more like a “monster” than a woman
Furthermore, it is said: She talks like Gnar, looks like Zoe, moves like Nidalee, has a really cool theme, has a LeBlanc clone, and I swear, she will be permabanned in the release week.
Who is Neeko? On Neeko’s lore page, RiotGames confirms that Neeko belongs to the Vastaya tribe. This tribe includes champions like Rengar and Wukong, who mix human and animal traits. She is a magician and is introduced as follows in the lore text.
Neeko comes from a long-forgotten tribe of the Vastaya and can dive into large groups by adopting the appearance of others. She can even partially absorb their emotional state to quickly distinguish friend from foe. No one can ever be sure where – or who – Neeko might be, but those who wish to harm her will soon see her true face and feel the full power of the original spirit magic being hurled at them.
What abilities does Neeko possess? The video clearly shows that Neeko can take on the form of other champions. It seems that this only works with allied champions from whom she can copy appearance. Additionally, she can fire projectiles that presumably hold enemies if they hit.
The exact abilities will soon be presented by the developers at RiotGames.
Fallout 76 evokes extreme emotions among many fans on both sides, joy and sorrow. A particularly frustrated gamer has now vented his anger at a GameStop.
Nerd Rage at GameStop: In the state of North Carolina, a customer was apparently upset about GameStop’s return policy. The player wanted to return Fallout 76, but the manager denied the request.
In response, the outraged gamer completely wrecked the store. He knocked over shelves, threw items off the counter, and stomped on the games scattered on the floor. The complete video of the outburst is available on Facebook.
Is Fallout 76 the Reason for the Outburst?
Fallout Polarizes: Since the announcement of Fallout 76, the game has mostly experienced either extreme hate or extreme hype. There has been hardly any gray area between the two extremes for a long time.
The player from North Carolina likely tried that as well. However, at GameStop, this was apparently not possible for corporate policy reasons, which likely led to the outburst.
Even though the video itself does not mention that it is about Fallout 76, there are reports that the game’s return was the trigger. The author mentions Fallout 76 as the reason in the description, and in a follow-up video showing the destruction, it says: “It seems someone really disliked Fallout 76.”

Gamers Laugh at the Vandal: Although Bethesda faces a lot of criticism, even when servers fail for technical reasons, the reaction to this outburst is largely directed against the vandal.
The video was also shared on reddit and fans discussed it. Most admired the remarkable calmness of the seller, but the troublemaker also got a lot of flak:
“That’s the kind of person I imagine publishes the 0/10 ratings on Metacritic.”
“What a child.”
“It’s kind of ridiculous to freak out over $60.”

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, a family had more fun playing than the law allows. The loud voice of the mother triggered a large police response.
What happened? Last week, a dramatic emergency call came into the police in Volusia County, Florida. Neighbors were worried about the life of their neighbors because screams and words indicating a violent act could be heard from their house. Among other things, it was reported that the following could be heard:
“No, please don’t kill me! Please let me get up!” Additionally, a man was reportedly heard complaining loudly, “Why did you take my gun?”
Police arrive and find a happy gamer family
The police took the emergency call very seriously and dispatched six patrol cars to the given address. The McKee family lived there. The officers approached the house with guns drawn, anticipating a potential mass shooting or hostage situation.
All just a false alarm: Instead, a cheerful woman named Jamie McKee opened the door in the presence of her lively family and wanted to know what was going on. Fortunately, the situation was quickly clarified, as seen in the video embedded below:

There was no argument, no domestic violence, and certainly no hostage situation. Rather, Jamie McKee had spent the whole evening playing the multiplayer part of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 with her husband and daughter.
The window was open, and Jamie, as she laughingly admitted, has a very loud voice. Therefore, this likely led to the misunderstanding.
The gamer family wants to play with the window closed in the future: The McKees expressed understanding and praised the officers for their prompt action. They do not know who called the police but apologize to their neighbors for any inconvenience caused.
In the future, they want to pay more attention to the volume and keep the window closed while gaming.
The situation with the McKees ended well. However, swatting, or deliberately calling the police to troll gamers, is a real problem:
In this guide, we explain how to earn the title Riven’s Bane in Destiny 2. But beware, you won’t get far on this task alone.
With Forsaken Destiny 2 offers fans the opportunity to earn various titles and proudly display them for all to see. The titles are represented by a special text overlay that appears in-game next to the player’s name. Titles are meant to visually represent extensive achievements of players that they have accomplished in specific areas of the game.
How to Become Riven’s Bane in Destiny 2
Titles can only be earned with significant effort and time. Guardians must overcome numerous tasks in different activities within the game. Riven’s Bane is no exception.
But the unique aspect of this title: As a solo player, you’re at a disadvantage. Some achievements can only be earned as a member of a clan.
What Makes the Title Riven’s Bane Special? Riven’s Bane is tied to the Raid Seal under Triumphs. The requirements for this title can be viewed through the corresponding seal in the game menus.
Here you can find more info about the title Riven’s Bane
For this title, you need to participate in the Forsaken Raid Last Wish. There are a total of 16 Triumphs to earn for Riven’s Bane. Many of these achievements consist of several tasks combined.
The following tasks must be mastered to become Riven’s Bane:
General Tasks for Riven’s Bane
The following Triumphs for Riven’s Bane can be completed without a clan membership, but are significantly easier to achieve within a clan:
Complete the Emblem “Raid: Last Wish” in the collections. This involves collecting all raid-specific armor pieces and weapons (including One Thousand Voices) as well as the emblem, Ghost shell, ship, and Sparrow that can be earned in the Forsaken Raid Last Wish with one of the three Guardian classes.
Struck by Lightning: Complete all raid encounters with a fireteam consisting only of Guardians with Ark type focus.
Sunburn: Complete all raid encounters with a fireteam consisting only of Guardians with Solar type focus.
Night Owl: Complete all raid encounters with a fireteam consisting only of Guardians with Void type focus.
The New Meta: Complete all raid encounters with a fireteam consisting solely of one Guardian class (for example, only Titans).
Oh my Killer: Successfully complete the raid Last Wish.
Petra’s Run: Complete the new Forsaken raid in “Petra’s Run” mode. This means: No dying! Because if any fireteam member dies, the entire raid team is immediately thrown back into orbit and the raid must be restarted.
Put a Flag On It: Place a total of five Raid Banners in the raid Last Wish. You can purchase them from Petra Venj in the Dreaming City for 5,000 Glimmer or three Legendary Shards.
Treasure Hunt: Loot 10 hidden chests in the raid Last Wish.
Clan Tasks for Riven’s Bane
These tasks can only be completed if you are a member of a clan.
Complete the Clan Challenges Colosseum Champion, Summoning Ritual, Strength of Memory, Staying Outside, and Endless Battle. These weekly rotating challenges can be obtained in the Tower from Hawthorne. The challenges can only be taken on by clans that must also be at least level 4.
Clan Night – Last Wish: Complete the Forsaken raid with a fireteam consisting only of clan members.
This is what a title looks like in-game
How to Equip the Title Riven’s Bane
Once you have unlocked all 16 Triumphs for this title, the raid seal can be activated in the menu. You can then finally equip Riven’s Bane. This title will then appear accordingly in the character menu. Furthermore, it will be visible to all other Guardians in-game under your player name.
Are you already wearing this title with pride or are you still struggling with a specific triumph?
A group of players fired three atomic bombs in Fallout 76. The outcome was unexpected for the fans.
What happened? A few players from Fallout 76 gathered around YouTuber Nickaroo93 to start a unique project. They dropped three atomic bombs on a single spot.
This resulted in three atomic mushrooms and three contaminated zones appearing in a short amount of time. However, it seems that was too much for the server: it crashed.

This was the plan: If an atomic bomb is dropped on a “tear” in Fallout 76, the area temporarily becomes a raid for the entire server. A level 95 elite Scorchbeast queen appears, which can be fought by all players.
Nickaroo93 had already shown this in one of his previous videos. The players then wondered what would happen if three bombs fell simultaneously: Would there be a queen three times as strong?
Are the bombs really to blame? Whether the server crashed because the atomic bombs were dropped is not substantiated. The crash merely occurred at the same time.
Crashes are still relatively frequent in Fallout 76, although the patch from November 19 might fix that. However, the fact that a crash coincides with the launching of three atomic bombs does not seem like a coincidence.
What do you think? Is this an obvious error by Bethesda, or is it simply not intended to drop three atomic bombs on one spot? Leave us a comment and chat with other fans in our Fallout group. More information and news about Fallout 76 can be found on Facebook.
Fortnite: Battle Royale is still facing criticism from artists who find their dances and moves in the game without permission. Now, the actor playing Turk from the sitcom Scrubs has also expressed his concerns.
Which dance are we talking about? Every Fortnite player knows the default dance that every player gets for free when they open an account in the game. But like many emotes in Fortnite, this move is also not an original creation of Epic Games.
Fortnite stole my dance!
Scrubs invented it: The “Fortnite dance” actually comes from the popular sitcom “Scrubs” from the early 2000s. In it, aspiring doctors navigate through the chaos of working in a hospital. One of the characters, the surgeon Turk, performs an improvised dance in one episode called the “Poison Dance”.

At a reunion of the Scrubs cast at the media event “Vulture Festival”, Turk actor Donald Faison was asked to demonstrate the dance live. However, he declined with the somewhat sarcastic words: “If you want to see the dance, play Fortnite, because they stole that shit!”

Epic asked for permission: A joking discussion followed about whether the actors should receive money for the dance. The producer explains in the talk that Epic specifically asked whether it was okay to use the dance.
Donald Faison, however, stood by his opinion and completely refused to perform the dance.
More rappers are upset
The issue with the “stolen” dances is far from resolved. Rather, once again, rappers have complained about Epic for incorporating their moves into Fortnite without permission.
Rapper 2 Milly wants to sue: Recently, rapper 2 Milly was upset because Fortnite used his dance “Milly Rock” without asking and without paying fees, calling it “Swipe It” in Fortnite as part of the Season 5 Battle Pass. He now intends to file a lawsuit to “protect what belongs to me”.
That the moves were originally created by someone else outside the game would therefore go unnoticed by millions of people.
What is the legal situation? It is still legally difficult to take action against the adoption of dances. There are no comprehensive legal requirements on how to protect such content and declare it as intellectual property.
Therefore, Epic is likely still in the right when they happily use the dances and moves of other artists. However, since the Fortnite developers make money from the dances, it would be fair if the original artists could somehow be compensated.
As a big Fallout fan, MeinMMO author Andreas Bertits eagerly anticipated the release of Fallout 76. Here is what he thinks after the first few days.
Can Fallout 76 really join the post-apocalyptic RPG series after Bethesda’s bold promises? It seems it will be difficult after the harsh criticism at release.
A fan is waiting for “Fallout Online”
A fan since day one: I got into the Fallout series in 1997, but I had been following the game’s development even before, when it was still planned to be released as a computer game based on the pen-and-paper RPG G.U.R.P.S.
Even back then, I was fascinated by the game world, which brought fresh air into the RPG genre with its dark humor and its post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of the 1950s. Accordingly, I loved part 2, which was released just a year later, in 1998. However, I found it harder to engage with Fallout Tactics.
When Bethesda showcased Fallout 3 in 2007 and opted for a first-person perspective, I was skeptical. Could it work? Without turn-based combat? And how it worked! Accordingly, I could hardly wait for the release of Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4.
New Vegas remains the highlight of the series for me to this day. Who is my friend, who betrays me? An important reason that Fallout: New Vegas is my favorite in the series is the interesting NPCs that bring the world to life and whose diverse personalities I wanted to get to know. And that’s exactly why my current opinion of Fallout 76 is what it is, as I will describe shortly.
Fallout as an online game? Finally! First of all, I must say that I’ve been thinking about a “Fallout Online” for a long time.
What if you could explore the wasteland together with friends?
What could a “Fallout Online” look like?
Does a classic MMORPG make sense in this scenario?
From the very beginning, I was aware that a “Fallout Online” would have to be different from what one knows from traditional MMORPGs. Thousands of players acting in a virtually non-existent civilization? I couldn’t imagine that. For me, there should be a sense that the world needed to be rebuilt, that there were few people, and that dangers lurked everywhere. Moreover, I thought that Bethesda would never compete with itself over The Elder Scrolls Online.
I wrote an article some time ago about how I envisioned a “Fallout Online”. Accordingly, I was very curious what Bethesda would ultimately make of the project.
A perspective from two angles
Does Fallout 76 work for me from the perspective of the single-player series? When Bethesda announced Fallout 76 and explained that the online game would still be enjoyable for fans of the single-player titles despite the lack of NPCs, I could already hear alarm bells ringing in my head. One of the most important and coolest aspects of the game was to be omitted? I was skeptical.
Now I’ve been playing Fallout 76 since its release on November 13 and I’ve also looked at the title from this exact perspective. The premise that all NPCs are dead is fundamentally interesting. However, it doesn’t work for me in the long run.
Am I supposed to join factions and complete their admission tests when there’s no one left who belongs to those factions?
I constantly search for new tape recordings, which feels like typical fetch quests.
I’m sent to find NPCs I already know are dead.
The world feels terribly empty without NPCs.
The search for the overseer feels like I’ve got a carrot in front of my nose. I’m being led on, but never able to bite.
In my opinion, the absence of NPCs would work very well for a city. Why are all the inhabitants of the city dead? Unraveling that mystery through tape recordings would be exciting. However, this kind of story and narrative structure can’t carry a whole game. At least not for me.
Over time, having to listen to the next tape recording feels too repetitive. The outcomes of most quests are too obvious. Many tasks, like joining factions that no longer exist, seem utterly pointless. I constantly ask myself why I’m doing all this? The feeling of having accomplished something and having helped NPCs is completely missing.
The story notes become repetitive over time and become increasingly tiresome.
Now one might say that there are some NPCs in the form of robots. However, they just recite their lines, and I can’t ask them anything. I can’t decide what I want to say. This causes Fallout 76 to lose an incredibly important aspect compared to its predecessors, which made the games so interesting and exciting: getting to know NPCs and engaging in dialogues.
Not everyone may be bothered by the absence of NPCs. Some may even find it good, which is completely fine. Tastes are indeed different. However, for me, this is an extremely big downside that illustrates why many fans of the single-player games aren’t having as much fun with Fallout and why I have stopped following the story.
https://youtu.be/M9FGaan35s0
Does Fallout 76 work for me from the perspective of an online player? Fallout 76 is an online game. You can tell that at every turn. Completing events in a group is incredibly fun. Proceeding together, strategizing and possibly even involving a player not in the group is a great multiplayer experience.
Simply going out with others and maybe finding an old shack where a fight awaits is enjoyable. Fallout 76 thrives on these situations. Even building bases together with friends – as much as Bethesda still needs to improve upon it – is fun. Just like launching nuclear bombs and then searching for cool items in the irradiated area. Here, Fallout 76 shines and demonstrates that the series can also work as an online game.
Only the entire “single-player approach”, with the tape recordings, the dead NPCs, the story, and the quests feels entirely contrived. As if it was never planned, and the developers had hastily decided to include something for this group out of fear of the wrath of single-player fans. For me, this doesn’t work. It pulls me out of the online game and reveals a side of Fallout 76 that doesn’t fit.
How do I find Fallout 76 now? In my opinion, Bethesda made a big mistake: they shouldn’t have marketed Fallout 76 as a game for single-player fans, because it isn’t. This becomes clear quite early on. At the latest after the tenth tape recording you listen to, yet another computer you scour, and the x-th corpse you need to find, you realize that the story aspect of the game becomes repetitive. The missions and the story simply cannot compare to those of the single-player Fallouts.
Some online game fans may see the quests and the story as a nice addition, but I’ve often noticed while playing that many players, regardless of their level, only spend a few seconds at a computer terminal in the game. This time is never enough to read all the entries and truly follow the story. It gives the impression that many players aren’t really interested in this aspect of Fallout 76.
As an online game, where you complete events together with friends, explore the world, build a base, and maybe engage in role-playing, Fallout 76 works quite well. Is it perfect? No. Especially not from a technical perspective. But it is certainly fun as “Fallout Online”. Only single-player fans do not find what they are looking for here, in my opinion. And Bethesda should have been clearer in their marketing about this.

This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
For Fallout 76, a massive patch has been released that will be deployed shortly after the release of the game. This patch aims to improve several aspects.
Delayed Day-1 Patch: Fallout 76 was supposed to receive a large Day-1 patch on its release date of November 14. This has not yet occurred. Instead, Bethesda is now introducing a huge patch.
Update: We have updated the article with new information. The patch notes are here!
Update 7:00 PM: The servers are back online.
Fallout 76 Patch 1.02: Patch notes from November 19 in English
Improved performance for all systems: Bethesda has announced that the first patch will mainly focus on performance. By fixing several bugs, the performance and stability on all platforms should be improved. Additionally, more bugs have been fixed:
Enemies
Enemies should no longer pursue players beyond the expected range.
Ghoul and Burned Officers should now correctly drop parts of the nuclear launch codes.
C.A.M.P., Workbenches, and Crafting
Blueprints from C.A.M.P.s should no longer break into smaller pieces when players log out.
Paint on Power Armor that was added for the B.E.T.A. should now properly adhere to the items.
A bug has been fixed that sometimes placed repaired items back into the inventory in a still destroyed state.
Quests
Tourism Office: The terminal in Prickett’s Fort should now be repairable.
PvP
Pacifists should now deal regular damage to players in a fight over a workshop as long as they are hostile.
A respawn after being killed by a player should now reset the hostility towards that player.
The “Revenge” option should now display and consume the correct amount of caps.
On Xbox, bugs that caused crashes in certain menus have also been fixed. There have also been changes to the user interface. You can find the full patch notes on the official website.
When is the patch coming? The servers for Fallout 76 will be taken offline on Monday, November 19, at 3 PM to deploy the patch. It is not yet known how long the servers will remain offline.
The official tweet states only that the servers will be “temporarily” offline.
Update: Around 6:45 PM German time, the servers were brought back online. Fallout 76 is playable again.
How large will the patch be? The original Day-1 patch was supposed to be 50 GB. The exact size of the current patch is not yet known, but it could also be around 50 GB.
Update:For PC, the patch size is currently reported to be about 15 GB. For PS4 and Xbox One, most players report a size between 47 and 49 GB.
What’s coming in the future? An expansion of your personal stash’s capacity is also planned, but it will arrive later. The current limit has been implemented for technical reasons. However, there are already approaches with which Bethesda aims to optimize the limit.
For PC players, a later patch will also adjust the settings. There will be a FOV slider and a push-to-talk option. Support for 21:9 screens (“Ultrawide”) will also be included.
Where can I find out more? As soon as the official patch notes are released, we will update and link them in this article. In the meantime, new information will also be available from the official German Twitter account of Fallout 76.
What specific changes do you hope for with the new patch for Fallout 76? Leave us a comment or discuss with other fans in our Fallout group. If you’re looking for more info and news about the game, visit us on Facebook.
With a small teaser video, LoL (League of Legends) has now shown first impressions of the new champion. It looks like he can transform into other champions. That would be a brand new mechanic in LoL.
Soon, the MOBA League of Legends will be expanded with a new champion. In this context, the developers have now released a teaser video to ignite the hype for the new character. The video is well received by fans. Apparently, the new champion can copy the appearance of other champions.
This is how Riot introduces the new LoL hero
The Twitter account of League of Legends Brazil published the latest teaser a few hours ago. The account wrote about the video, “Strange scenes have been seen in Summoner’s Rift …”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taDoPbapLdc
What does the teaser show? In the video, there are many bright colors. These represent champions that are already in the game upon closer inspection. For example, Ahri or Nunu. One of Ahri’s tails looks more colorful than the others. Even among the two Nunus facing each other, color differences can be seen. One is wearing a kind of feather.
What do the fans say? Players interpret the new video as indicating that the upcoming champion can apparently take on the forms of other characters. So he visually adapts and can only be distinguished from the original by minor differences.
On social media, fans are already excited about how the colorful hero will function. Can he only adapt visually to other heroes or perhaps even take over abilities?
Probably a wizard: A few months ago, Riot Games already explained in a blog post that the new champion will be a colorful wizard. So it fits with the video.
When will the new champion be revealed? Today, on November 19, Riot Games plans to reveal the champion.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, the popular streamer and Twitch star Ninja fell victim to a devious conspiracy. Trolls teamed up to fabricate evidence of privileges that Ninja likely never had.
It concerns the fact that he has reported players for misconduct several times in his streams. Apparently, Ninja bragged that he could get them banned as well.
Now it is said that such a ban actually occurred due to a report by Ninja.
In a Reddit post, a player reports that he was reported by Ninja due to bad ping. Shortly thereafter, his account was allegedly banned.
“Ninja can get players banned” becomes a huge topic on Reddit
The post on Reddit has over 4,400 comments and 44,100 upvotes. The supposed “special ban privileges” of Ninja were therefore a big deal for the Fortnite community.
Ninja’s opponents feel vindicated: Many players feel confirmed in their assumptions that Ninja is a privileged, arrogant figure who can have people thrown out of the game at will.
For his opponents, this is a boon, and Ninja’s reputation has taken a hit.
There are even memes saying “Watch what you do, or Ninja will ban you!”
What was behind the accusations?
Epic clarifies: Not long after the accusations, there was a statement from Epic meant to clarify the whole mess.
Ninja has no special ban rights, and no one will be banned just because Ninja might have demanded it in a stream. For in reality, it was all a fake.
Someone wanted to deliberately harm Ninja: But it seems to go even further. It appears that the accusations against Ninja were part of a sinister conspiracy aimed at ruining Ninja’s career.
After this “evidence” caused a stir, the perpetrator of the action even bragged about it on Discord: “What can I say, we finally ruined his career, HAHA!”
How does the community react? Ninja has many fans, but also many opponents who resent his success or simply dislike him. For them, the accusation is a welcome confirmation of their prejudices.
Others, however, defend Ninja, including fellow streamer and frequent gaming partner DrLupo. He pointed out the fake accusations in a tweet.
Ninja (and other streamers) are appalled at how quickly many players believe everything they read on Reddit and co., and immediately assume the worst.
This is what Ninja says: Ninja himself remains calm. He sees the attempts to attack him only as a reason to get even better in the future and not to give any more actions that provide fodder for his opponents. So no trolling and no cheeky comments anymore.
Even if he has lost followers due to the incident, he is confident that it will not harm his career in the long run.
The developers have clearly stated their position on whether “warforged” has a place in World of Warcraft. They have also justified it extensively.
Unfortunately, not all planned questions in the “Q&A” panel for World of Warcraft were answered at BlizzCon 2018. Blizzard has now answered the remaining questions from fans in a forum post and reiterated their position on the question of warforged items and whether they would ever abandon them. The developers’ response: “Highly unlikely.”
What is “warforged”? Most rewards in World of Warcraft have a low chance of being titansharded or warforged in the newer expansions. In this case, the item level is higher than the normal value, making the item more valuable and powerful. A weapon with a standard item level of 340 could thus be upgraded to 350, 370, or even higher.
Why “warforged” remains: Over the course of the expansions, the possible sources of items have increased. In addition to raiding, there is now also PvP as a source of income, as well as harder dungeons (Mythic+). Due to these diverse sources, the actual rewards have gradually begun to lag behind.
To ensure that players can still raid with their friends when the normal rewards have been collected, there is the incentive of an upgrade. This ensures that individual players continue to play with their raid members, even if the “obvious” reward no longer motivates them.
The chance of an upgrade: Blizzard likes the system around “warforged” because it gives a chance to get a better armor piece even for content that has actually been “farmable” and can sometimes lead to a pleasant surprise. This applies to almost all activities in World of Warcraft.
Mythic raiders are always the best: Blizzard understands that it can seem odd when an extremely lucky player receives a perfect “warforged” item from LFR. Ultimately, this is just a single item, and players who complete mythic raids will generally be better geared than those who only experience LFR or other “easier” content.
Additionally, the system has been adjusted so that “extreme” upgrades happen much less frequently, making the constant clearing of far too easy content hardly worthwhile anymore. Weapons can only be upgraded by a maximum of 10 item levels in BfA.
What do you think of the system of “warforged” items? A good addition for WoW or should it be urgently abolished in the current version?
Together with the release of the Let’s-GO games, you can now also catch Meltan in Pokémon GO. Its evolution is hardly obtainable without these games.
Recently, you can catch the new Pokémon Meltan through a special research. Once you complete this research, most players face the next problem: How do I get 400 Meltan candies for the evolution?
Melmetal hardly obtainable without Let’s-GO games
The problem with evolving Meltan into Melmetal is that it costs 400 candies. To get 400 candies for Meltan, you have to catch some of these Pokémon. However, in Pokémon GO, each player only receives one mystery box with Meltan and cannot collect the necessary 400 candies. At least not without Pokémon Let’s GO.
Only 11 candies: If you complete the Meltan quests, you will receive five Meltan candies. Additionally, you can obtain six candies when catching Meltan with a Silver Pinap Berry. So, you can only get a maximum of eleven Meltan candies through regular means. The path to 400 is still long.
Meltan as a buddy: You could now have Meltan as your buddy. However, this requires walking 20 kilometers to find one candy. Thus, you would need to walk thousands of kilometers to obtain the 400 candies.
Trade Meltan: You could trade your Meltan for another. For this, you will receive a maximum of three candies.
Using special candies: If you have a lot of special candies, you could also use them on Meltan. However, special candies are rare and should mainly be used on Pokémon that are very strong. While Melmetal has high CP, it is still not very strong. Additionally, you would also have to level up your Melmetal to make it useful. This costs more special candies.
The solution is Let’s-GO games: To obtain enough Meltan candies without high expenses, you need to own a Let’s-GO game. There, you receive a mystery box containing several Meltan every seven days for a trade with Pokémon GO. This way, you quickly gather your 400 candies and can evolve Meltan.
Expensive evolution: To get Melmetal, the easiest way is to acquire a Let’s GO game. Together with the Nintendo Switch, this costs around 400 Euros. An expensive venture, just to complete your Pokédex. Alternatively, you must invest a lot of time into Pokémon GO to earn the 400 candies.
Shortly after the POTM SBC of Jadon Sancho went live in FIFA 19, it was gone again. Now it is back: EA fixed a bug, leaving the rest of the challenge untouched.
This is the POTM SBC: Last Friday, EA Sports released the second Bundesliga “Player of the Month” ever: Jadon Sancho received the award for October, succeeding teammate Marco Reus. Players could secure the winger through a Squad Building Challenge – but only for a short time.
EA disables an SBC again
Sancho SBC disappeared again: However, shortly after the SBC went live, it was gone again. While some had already secured the POTM, others only partially completed the SBC. The result: player items that had already been exchanged did not yield the desired reward.
The community reacted accordingly annoyed – after all, there had been a similar problem just a few days prior with Icon SBC 3. Now the SBC returned with a new POTM Sancho card as a reward:
This was the problem: The reason for the SBC disappearing was due to Sancho’s position. The reward card had the left midfield (LM) position, although it was announced as RM.
This position is currently also filled by Sancho at Borussia Dortmund – another reason that caused confusion among players: Why was the card even published as LM?
The faulty Sancho card
EA acknowledged this error, disabled the challenge, and has now brought it back revised. The requirements remain the same – you can still utilize the solutions for the Sancho SBC.
EA returns players: Player items that were exchanged during the partial completion of the SBC will return to the clubs. If you already have the LM Sancho in your team, you will receive the RM variant for free. However, this process may take a little time.
With this issue, EA Sports once again caused annoyance in the community. The players had to deal with massive server problems over the weekend, leading to the Weekend League being extended by 24 hours. Previously, the new patch also left many players unhappy.

What content does Battlefield 5 offer at launch?
This is what Battlefield 5 offers at launch: For single-player fans, Battlefield 5 features War Stories, a series of war stories told from the perspective of various soldiers from the warring factions.
However, the focus of Battlefield 5 is faithfully on the multiplayer part of the game. In addition to some familiar formats, there will also be new game modes. Up to 64 players can compete on initially 8 maps. From classic Team Deathmatch and one-on-one combat to Grand Operations, which recreate entire military operations including the use of warfare technology over several virtual days with various game modes, there is something for everyone.
In addition, Battlefield 5 places great emphasis on the customization of your soldier. In the Company, a kind of personal collection, numerous uniforms, weapons, and vehicles will accumulate over time. This allows extensive customization of your soldier and arsenal – both visually and performance-wise.
These 8 maps are included at launch:
Twisted Steel – A map focused on a destroyed bridge that presents challenges to players
Arras – A large map where infantry seeks shelter from approaching tanks
Narvik – You fight for control of the snow-covered port city
Fjell 652 – On top of a mountain, infantry encounters each other
Rotterdam – A city map where the narrow streets are the scene of the battles
Devastation – Rotterdam after the air raid provides challenges due to the ruins
Hamada – A large desert map designed for vehicle battles
Aerodrome – A ruin where infantry and vehicles meet.
These maps take place in France, Norway, Holland, and North Africa. Hamada is the largest map, while Fjell 652 is the smallest of all previous maps.
Is there a Premium Pass for Battlefield 5?
There will be no Premium Pass for Battlefield 5. Also, paid DLCs or maps are omitted.
Fresh content will be provided in Battlefield 5 through the new live service Tides of War – and that free and for all players. This includes new events, maps, new War Stories chapters, and new gameplay events that are to be delivered continuously and cohesively.
Additionally, there will also be suitable thematic rewards such as weapons, vehicles, or all sorts of cosmetic items for your soldiers.
By the way: There will be no loot boxes in Battlefield 5. Although there will be content that can be purchased with real money, all of these will be purely cosmetic in nature and offer no gameplay advantages.
What content does Battlefield 5 receive after launch?
Battlefield 5 is set to receive continuous and long-term content updates after launch. Some additional features will also be added later. The following upcoming contents are currently known:
Combined Arms – a co-op mode where up to 4 players can complete various dynamic missions together
With a special request, the players from Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR 2) are now approaching the developers. They want to be able to pet cats as well. There is even a petition for that now.
The animals in Red Dead Redemption 2 were developed by Rockstar Games with great attention to detail. In cold areas, the testicles of horses shrink and in swamps, hungry alligators await to eat cowboys.
You can interact with many animals in the world. However, the options for cats are limited. Too limited, if the wishes of many players are to be believed. They have now submitted a petition. They want to be able to pet cats in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Red Dead Redemption 2 Petition for Cats Launched
A virtual signature collection has been started on the platform Change.org. This was initiated by the user Mark Kenway, who is apparently a fan of Red Dead Redemption 2. He makes his wish very clear.
The problem and the solution: In the petition, it says “We can pet dogs but not cats. What is this? Animal racism?” As a solution idea for the problem, the user writes, “It must be possible to pet cats, or I will immediately stop petting all the dogs I see. I mean it seriously!”.
The trigger for the survey: A personal story led Kenway to start the petition. While walking through Saint Denis, he bent down to a cat. He wanted to pet it, just as he always does with dogs. Then he realized that this doesn’t work with cats. For him, it seems unfair that you can pet dogs but not cats.
How well is the survey doing? As of the current point (November 19, 11:00 AM), 535 signatures have already been collected. Whether Rockstar will take notice and indeed implement this feature in the game is questionable.

A new patch for World of Warcraft makes many things easier. Most “Mythic+” dungeons are now easier to handle.
A new hotfix for World of Warcraft was applied last weekend (11/16/2018) and brought numerous small changes. In particular, the “Mythic+” dungeons are affected by changes and have been weakened in many areas.
Keep in mind that some of these changes have already gone live in recent days, but Blizzard has now compiled all adjustments to make them easy to follow.
Why the nerfs? Some dungeons were significantly more difficult than others, depending on the affix. The nerfs should ensure that all dungeons have a similar difficulty even at higher levels. In particular, “King’s Rest” and “The Temple of Sethraliss” have often been neglected and simply skipped by many players. Now these dungeons should be less daunting.
14th Anniversary Event
The respawn time of all event bosses has been reduced.
Dungeons and Raids
The affix “Grievous Wounds” now stacks only every second tick, but deals 2% of a player’s maximum HP (previously 1.5%).
The created explosion orbs now have 50% less health in “Mythic+” dungeons and can no longer appear from enemies that are in control effects.
King’s Rest
King A’akuls Hidden Blade (Poison DoT) now deals 60% less damage.
King Timaljis Blade Storm now slows by 60% (previously 25%), but the cooldown has been increased to 20-25 seconds (previously 10-20 seconds).
The seduction by Queen Wasi now only lasts 8 seconds (previously 30 seconds).
The periodic damage from Zul’s Shadow has been reduced by 50% and the direct damage from Shadow Spike Fire by 25%.
Wrath of the Ancients from Shadowborn Champion now deals 50% less damage.
Animated gold from the Goldsnake now has 50% less health.
The Shrine of Storms
The damage bonus from Eternal Darkness of the Depths Ritualist has been reduced to 10% (previously 25%) and the cast time increased to 3 seconds (previously 2 seconds).
Depth Slam from the Executor of the Tidecallers now deals 25% less damage.
Spirit Shaman of the Tidecallers now casts Healing Stream every 25 seconds (previously every 10 seconds) and deals 50% less damage with Anchor of Binding.
The Temple of Sethraliss
Galvanize from Galvazzt now deals 25% less periodic damage.
Embryonic Strength of the Treacherous Eggkeeper now only heals 10% (previously 50%) and the cooldown of Greater Healing Potion starts immediately, so stuns prevent it from being used again immediately.
Tol Dagor
The timer for mythic keys has been increased from 33 minutes to 36 minutes.
The Underrot
The timer for mythic keys has been increased from 30 minutes to 33 minutes.
The Underrot is one of the instances in WoW: Battle for Azeroth.
Uldir
Mythrax
Forgotten Sphere now targets ranged attackers with high priority.
Are you now going to venture into “Mythic+” dungeons more often after these nerfs? Or do other adjustments need to be made for you to dive into the tough dungeons?
Even though Star Citizen is a controversial game, the extremely successful crowdfunding shows that there is a great interest in the space online game.
As Cloud Imperium Games announced, the mark of 200 million dollars has been surpassed, which could be raised through crowdfunding.
A new milestone for Star Citizen
What do the 200 million dollars mean for Star Citizen? On November 17, the mark of 200 million dollars was exceeded. The game raises about 35 million dollars per year through crowdfunding – a large part of this comes from the sale of virtual spaceships. Thus, Star Citizen is also the game that has raised the most money through crowdfunding so far.
When news about reaching the 200 million mark was reported on Reddit, so-called brigading actions were initiated by players who criticize Star Citizen. The posts on Reddit were bombarded with downvotes so that the message could not appear as a highlight for everyone.
Whether we will receive the first episode of Squadron 42 this year is rather questionable.
What do the developers say? Chris Roberts, founder of Cloud Imperium Games, thanked fans with an open letter for reaching this milestone. He wants to let fans know that Star Citizen is now close to the vision he has for the game with the current alpha.
According to him, a release of the game is now foreseeable. One is closer to the end of development than to the beginning. After a currently 6-year development phase, it should now actually take no more than another six years to the official launch of Star Citizen.
