Even Heroes of the Storm is not exempt from the trend. The new heroine Orphea is all about tentacles and fangs – we show her cinematics.
During the opening ceremony of BlizzCon 2018, numerous announcements were made for the Blizzard game worlds. One of the highlights is the announcement of a new hero in Heroes of the Storm: Orphea.
Who is Orphea? If you are now scratching your forehead in confusion and wondering which universe Orphea comes from, you need not worry.
Orphea is a new, standalone character who comes from Heroes of the Storm itself. The team has been trying to establish a standalone lore for some patches now, and Orphea will be the first playable character from it. She is the daughter of the Raven Lord.

Orphea in Cinematic: To introduce the new heroine, there is also a fresh cinematic with an unusual presentation style. Here we see Orphea fighting against the Raven Lord, who is currently trying to bring the various realms connected through the Nexus under his control.
Free for all BlizzCon attendees: Those who were present at BlizzCon or bought (or will buy) a Virtual Ticket will receive Orphea for free as soon as she is available in Heroes of the Storm. She is thus another goodie of the BlizzCon ticket.
Orphea’s abilities: In Heroes of the Storm, Orphea will be a quite agile assassin who acts from a distance. She uses the dark creature from the box that she carries permanently on her back. What exactly that is, one might not want to know.

Crusader
Demon Hunter
Necromancer
Sorceress
Monk
The classes have familiar and new abilities, some of which were created specifically for Diablo Immortal. Each class has at least 12 abilities and can have 5 of them actively equipped.
The developers have also hinted that more classes will be added in the future. A mention of a Witch Doctor as a potential class has already been made.

Shared Zones: While you are in the open world of Diablo Immortal, you can encounter all sorts of monsters. Among them are powerful opponents that you may not be able to defeat alone.
According to the information from BlizzCon 2018, you have the option to play together with others. The eight unique outdoor zones are “shared content,” where other players can just show up to help you and embark on adventures with you.
Dungeons for Groups: In addition to the “outdoor content,” there are seven dungeons that must not be missing in any Diablo game. However, dungeons in Diablo Immortal are designed differently.
In the dungeons of Diablo Immortal, you play with three friends and are in an instanced zone. This dungeon is then exclusively for your group.
Unlike in the open world, monsters do not respawn in dungeons. They remain dead once you have defeated them, which gives you more tactical options and is likely to make boss fights more intense.
A New Enemy – Skarn, Herald of Terror: The antagonist in Diablo Immortal will not be one of the known evils, but Skarn, the Herald of Terror.
Skarn attempts to collect the fragments of the corrupted Worldstone that Tyrael previously destroyed with his blade El’druin. He aims to resurrect Diablo through the fragments and continue the Eternal Conflict.
Only gets a supporting role: Diablo.
A Capital – Westmark: In Diablo Immortal, there will be a capital where you can meet with other players. Instead of being divided into different acts, you will meet centrally in Westmark.
In Westmark, you have access to your stash, can trade with NPCs, and find other players with whom you can explore the world and fight evil.
Contact with Battle.net: While playing Diablo Immortal, you are also connected to Battle.net if you link your account. This allows you to chat with players from your contact list.
When is Diablo Immortal coming out? An exact date has not been announced yet. However, pre-registration is already ongoing via the official website, where you have the chance to be invited to the beta test.
What about Diablo 4? A question arose whether the development of Diablo Immortal affects the development of a potential Diablo 4, as hopes for it were already dispelled beforehand.
However, the developers did not give a precise answer, only that work is being done on several projects.
Check out the new cinematic “Lost Honor” from World of Warcraft – Fresh from BlizzCon 2018
BlizzCon 2018 is in full swing and has some revelations for World of Warcraft. The highlight of the opening ceremony was, besides the announcements for World of Warcraft Classic, which we have in this article, a new cinematic. With this, Blizzard has now released the third CGI video for World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth.
You can watch the video here:

What is shown in the cinematic? King Anduin pays a visit to the Stormwind dungeon and meets Saurfang there. The Orc was captured during the Siege of Lordaeron. Anduin and Saurfang discuss, as previously announced, about honor.
Anduin wants to know why Saurfang didn’t kill him back then, although he had the chance. Saurfang only replies that it is not what he wanted – he simply wants to have his “old Horde” back.
Saurfang wants Sylvanas’ end: The biggest “plot twist” in the cinematic is that Saurfang wishes for the Alliance to stop the Horde.
With this, Saurfang has more or less renounced his “honor” and obligation to the Horde and would rather have his Horde back, as it was before Sylvanas.
Anduin lets Saurfang go: Thanks to the cinematic, we now also know why Saurfang escaped in Patch 8.1 and can be found by players. Anduin himself let him go, thus enabling him to plan and execute a coup against Sylvanas.
The story surrounding Saurfang and his resistance seems to become one of the central points of the upcoming patches. It remains exciting to see how it continues in World of Warcraft.
More information from BlizzCon will be available throughout the night.
How do you like the new cinematic and the story developing around Anduin and Saurfang?

Blizzard released a new cinematic for Overwatch at BlizzCon 2018. The “Animated Short” is titled Reunion and shows a part of McCree’s story on Route 66 and the new heroine Ashe.
The Deadlock Gang Heist: At the beginning, you see McCree sitting in the diner, which serves as the starting point for the attackers on the Route 66 map. While he eats his pie there, the train derails, the wreckage of which you see on the map.
New Heroine Ashe in the Cinematic
The cargo of the train is the cargo you accompany through the map, which piqued McCree and the Deadlock Gang’s interest. In a classic Western standoff, McCree ultimately deals with the gang, right on time at noon.
In the process, McCree encounters his supposed ex-girlfriend and the next hero of Overwatch, Ashe, whom he promptly apprehends and has transported, before freeing an old AI colleague from the cargo: Echo.
This cinematic thus introduces the next hero and provides a preview of a possible hero 30. We are curious to see what 2019 holds for Overwatch.
What do you think of the new cinematic? Do you like the backstory of McCree, or would you have wished for more? Visit our Overwatch group and discuss with other fans and check out Facebook for more info and news.
As Bungie announced at BlizzCon 2018, they are giving away Destiny 2 to every player who is registered on Blizzard’s Battle.net. To get the game for free, players only need an account on Blizzard’s platform.
This is what happened: During the presentation round at BlizzCon 2018, Game Director Steve Cotton appeared in the stream. While the hosts were still munching on Lucio-Oh’s, Cotton lurked in the background waiting for his turn.
Then he took a moment to praise the numerous advancements that Destiny 2 has made with the Forsaken expansion in 2018.
Finally, Cotton announced that they have a surprise and want to give every PC player the opportunity to see for themselves what great progress Destiny 2 has made.
Cotton announced that Bungie will gift Destiny 2 to every user on Battle.net on PC. They just need to claim the game.
How to Get Destiny 2 for Free
But players need to hurry: Players have until November 18 to claim their Destiny 2. After that, they can keep it forever.
To unlock Destiny 2, players must log in through Battle.net and then claim the game for themselves.
This is what players who already have Destiny 2 get: Those who already own Destiny 2 on PC will receive a “special anniversary emblem,” which should be available starting in December.
These are the minimum system requirements for Destiny 2 on PC:
Intel Core i3-3250, Intel Pentium G4560 or AMD FX-4350,
GeForce GTX 660 2G, GTX 1050 2GB or Radeon HD 7850
6 GB RAM
and 68 GB free storage.
Internet connection required.
Is there a catch? The gift only includes the base game Destiny 2 – not the currently highly praised expansion “Forsaken.” Surely Bungie speculates that players will be so impressed with Destiny 2 that they will purchase the expansion.
However, there is no real catch. Destiny 2 is a game that can provide hours of immersive gameplay even without the expansion.
This is what Bungie adds as a bonus: To give free players a taste of Forsaken, the showcase mode “Gambit” will be free for everyone from November 9 to 11.

Only the beginning for BlizzCon: Bungie chose BlizzCon 2018 as the stage for this unexpected gift. Further reveals for Blizzard games are expected at this time. We will report extensively about it on MeinMMO.
Today Xur arrives in Destiny 2. Where to find Xur and what Exotics he has on offer, you can find out here. This is the location and inventory on 02.11.
This week, the Festival of the Lost in Destiny 2 started its final phase. Until November 6, Guardians still have the opportunity to secure various festival rewards such as the event weapon Horror Story or have fun in the event-exclusive activity Haunted Forest .
In addition, Bungie has finally revealed how the mysterious festival quest continues. The quest spans several weeks. For those who have already completed the first quest step, it will only continue after the upcoming weekly reset on November 6.
By the way: In Gambit, there is triple Infamy from 6:00 PM on November 2 until 6:00 PM on November 6. A good opportunity for all those who want to significantly boost their Infamy rank.
Furthermore, Xur brings Exotics again today. Let’s welcome the Agent of the Nine together.
All info about Xur in Destiny 2 on 02.11. on PS4, Xbox One, and PC
Since the release of the Forsaken expansion, Xur has only brought old Exotics. What about today? What does he have?
When does Xur arrive today? – The times
The Xur time: Xur has appeared on Fridays for four years. So also in Destiny 2 Forsaken. However, the time will change to 6:00 PM today due to the time change.
When does Xur disappear? The Agent of the Nine will pack up his things on Tuesday, November 6 at 6:00 PM and then disappear until next Friday.
Where is Xur? You can find him at this location today
Xur’s location: This time Xur sets up shop on Nessus in the “Giant’s Grave” area.
Ashes of Creation is still in a closed alpha phase. From December, however, all players will be able to play a new version of the MMORPG. The PvP content used for stress tests will be released as a standalone free-to-play game called “Ashes of Creation: Apocalypse”.
What is Ashes of Creation: Apocalypse? During a livestream event on October 31, the developers of Ashes of Creation announced that they want to release their current PvP content as a standalone game.
This will be called Ashes of Creation: Apocalypse and will be free to play. Current testers are already able to try it out while all other players will have access to the content starting in December.
What PvP modes will there be? Three game modes are planned for the spin-off of Ashes of Creation:
there is also a Castle Siege mode, in which a castle must be captured
and the Horde mode, where 50 players defend a town
Will the new game help me progress? It should be possible to transfer progress into the actual MMORPG Ashes of Creation via Ashes of Creation: Apocalypse. Collected experience should be transferable to the main game.
Additionally, one should be able to unlock cosmetic content, achievements, and even furniture through the PvP spin-off. However, the biggest benefit will be for the developers themselves, as they can thoroughly test the PvP, server performance, and balance.
How players are reacting: The community of Ashes of Creation sees the move as divided. Especially players who are not in the alpha are looking forward to trying out the MMO. However, other players fear that the focus of development could shift.
If the spin-off is already successful enough, Ashes of Creation could develop into a purely PvP game, and other content might simply be left behind. Even if this does not happen, development could be delayed because resources are needed for the free-to-play game. Whether a release by 2020 will still be possible is questionable.
On November 3rd, the Gengar Day starts in Pokémon GO. We will show you the best counters and explain what you need to pay attention to.
The Gengar Day will take place on November 3rd for three hours. During this time, the Ghost Pokémon Gengar will dominate all gyms, and you can challenge it at any gym during this period.
Special Moves: Similar to the days of the legendary birds Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos, Gengar also learns special moves.
We will show you what to expect on Gengar Day and the best counters against the Ghost Pokémon.
Overview of Gengar Day
What Raid Level is Gengar? During the three hours, Gengar will appear as a Level 4 Raid. Previously, Gengar was always a Level 3 Raid boss, but for these three hours, it has been made stronger and appears as a Level 4 Raid.
When does it start? On Saturday, November 3rd, Gengar Day starts at 11 AM. The event will then run for three hours until 2 PM.
At almost all gyms: During the three hours, Gengar will dominate almost all gyms. Gyms that have recently released an EX Raid Pass are excluded. These will not have a raid during the 3 hours. Otherwise, you can raid at any gym.
5 free Raid Passes: Players will receive five free Raid Passes for spinning a gym photo disc once during the event. Players can redeem the passes during the three hours.
Shiny Gengar: In the raids, you can encounter a shiny Gengar. So make sure to pay close attention when catching. The difference is not easy to recognize.
100% IV Gengar: The CP that a Gengar can obtain from a raid ranges from 1420 CP to 1496 CP. A 1496 CP Gengar has 100% IV. In cloudy or overcast weather, Gengar’s CP ranges from 1776 to 1870. Here, a 1870 CP Gengar is a 100% IV Gengar.
Doable with two: A Gengar has 31256 CP in the raid and is therefore doable with two players. However, it is important that you have the right counters for this. If you have these, it is enough if two trainers are at level 30.
Update November 3rd: After the Gengar Day ran in Asia, the following things can be added:
Gengar also learns the two exclusive moves Lick and Confusion if you evolve a Haunter into Gengar during the three hours.
You can teach a Gengar with Lick and Confusion other moves using TMs.
Gengar cannot learn Lick or Confusion through TMs
Gengar Counters – These Pokémon are effective
Gengar is a Ghost and Poison type and therefore has the following weaknesses: Ground, Psychic, Ghost, and Dark
With the following Pokémon, you can best challenge a Gengar and deal the most damage.
The best counters
Mewtwo with Confusion and Shadow Ball
Gengar with Dark Claw (this move is no longer obtainable) and Shadow Ball
Espeon with Confusion and Future Sight
Also strong counters
Alakazam with Confusion and Future Sight
Groudon with Mud Shot and Earthquake (especially strong in sunny weather)
Even before BlizzCon 2018, the next expansion of Hearthstone was leaked. This is due to a news site that had been informed beforehand. The new and final expansion for Hearthstone 2018 is called Rastakhan’s Rumble and brings 9 new troll heroes.
Actually, BlizzCon starts in just a few hours, as the opening ceremony begins at 7:00 PM, where the major innovations from Blizzard will be introduced. However, a mistake on the PCGamer site caused the first news to already be out.
The next Hearthstone expansion deals with trolls and is called Rastakhan’s Rumble!
How did the leak happen? The magazine PCGamer apparently made an error. In an article that had nothing to do with Hearthstone, several paragraphs appeared that addressed the new Hearthstone expansion.
What does the leak say? We have translated the lines for you – please keep in mind that these are not the direct words and announcements from Blizzard, but rather (planned) article from PCGamer:
“Once per generation, the trolls of Azeroth come together to contest the blessings of the Loa and the favor of King Rastakhan. This fight-without-boundaries forms the basis for Rastakhan’s Rumble, the next expansion of Hearthstone, which was unveiled today in the opening ceremony of BlizzCon.
Nine teams will participate in this variant of the time-honored troll fight, each led by a legendary troll champion representing one of the Hearthstone classes. The Loa, ancient gods revered by the trolls, will also participate in the fights as legendary servants.
Shirvallah the Tiger is the Loa of the Paladins and costs 25 mana to be played. You can reduce the cost by casting spells, but even then, it is a high price that only very slow decks can likely pay.”
The leak becomes more credible as this expansion circulated several days ago. The Korean YouTube channel on Twitter had already jumped the gun too early.
What new cards are there? New cards have not yet been introduced, but the leak indicates that each class will receive at least one Loa as a legendary servant.
This means that the BlizzCon 2018 is already missing an exciting reveal ahead of time. Of course, it remains to be seen what the new cards will look like and what new game modes the developers will come up with.
More information about the latest expansion “Rastakhan’s Rumble” will be available this evening when more details are known.
Are you excited for more troll and Loa action in Hearthstone?

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the famous streamer Dr DisRespect held his grand Code Red tournament in Blackout. However, Twitch had other plans and instead featured a painter.
Who is Dr DisRespect? The controversial streamer Dr DisRespect is a character created by former Call of Duty developer Guy Beahm. The Doc is known for being quite vocal during his streams.
What is the deal with the Doc’s tournament? For Black Ops 4, the Doc hosted his own tournament called Code Red. Starting November 1st, 16 duo teams competed for victory.
A prize pool of $20,000 was set for the winners. Among the participants were well-known streamers like Shroud, Skadoodle, TSM Viss, and Halifax.
What is Bob Ross doing on the Twitch main page?
Dr DisRespect commented on the game and the actions in the chat during the tournament. Suddenly he became speechless. It seemed like something had caught his attention.
The Doc is dumbfounded: Indeed, something just happened that left the Doc astounded. A glance at the main page of Twitch revealed that his tournament was not featured there at all. Instead, there was an announcement for the massive 400-episode marathon of painting tutorials by Bob Ross!
Bob Ross also had an appearance in Smite.
The complete opposite of Black Ops 4! Those who know Bob Ross, the late painter with the soothing voice known for “happy little trees and clouds,” understand that. In his incredibly calming videos, he explains how to create such peaceful landscapes on canvas.
Many people therefore use the painter as a reliable sleep aid or enjoy his outstanding painting skills. Bob Ross is thus the complete opposite of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, which offers fast-paced action and frantic slaughter.

The Doc is upset: However, Twitch placed his tournament, with numerous popular influencers and over 162,000 viewers, behind what he considers to be the less important painting show by Bob Ross, which really frustrates the streamer, as can be seen in the embedded video here.
What do you think of the Doc’s reaction? Is it understandable that he is upset about the preference for Bob Ross, or do peaceful painting shows also have a right to the Twitch highlight?
In Destiny 2, the Festival of the Lost is slowly coming to an end. As announced, the mysterious murder quest went live during this event. However, it consisted of only a very short step. Since then, waiting has been required. Now Bungie has announced how the quest will continue.
However, many Guardians are wondering: What will happen with the mysterious festival quest when the event ends soon? Because right now, there’s nothing else to do but wait. Now Bungie has provided some clarity.
What Guardians can expect from the mysterious murder quest
This is what Bungie says: As the studio has now announced in its latest “This Week at Bungie” blog, the quest will span three weeks – even though the Festival of the Lost ends on November 6. Each week, there will be a new quest step including a powerful reward.
For all those who have already mastered the very short first quest step this week, there is indeed nothing left but to wait until the next weekly reset. Only then does the next quest step continue. Many Guardians are disappointed as a result.
So it seems the Thunderlord leak was correct: Although Bungie has not gone into detail about the further quest progression or the potential reward at the end of the task, with their statement the developers indirectly confirm the widely discussed leak from AnonTheNine.
The esteemed Redditor had previously announced the early return of the first heavy machine gun – the Thunderlord from Destiny 1 – as part of the festival quest. Recently, he added that the quest for the weapon would span three weeks. This now seems to indeed be the case.
While this still does not give a 100% guarantee that the leaker is completely correct with his details, he has proven to be an extremely reliable source in the past and is therefore highly regarded in the community.
Fortnite: Battle Royale recently had a highly controversial update. In it, rockets were significantly strengthened, and buildings were weakened. This caused an uproar that prompted Epic to reconsider.
What happened with the rockets?With the recent update 6.21, the Fortnite world was turned upside down. The reason was that explosions from rockets and grenades now penetrated walls. Previously, even behind the flimsiest wooden wall, one felt safe; after the update, one received damage even while taking cover. Cover became practically useless.
Casuals are supposed to have it easier: Epic defended its actions by stating that they wanted to give casual players more chances against professionals. Many players do not have a sufficient grasp of building, while hardcore gamers can erect large fortresses in no time. According to Epic, that would be unfair.
Only through building does a strong strategic component come into play. Furthermore, Epic already has plenty of counters against structures with the new items Quad-Rammer, Quad-Launcher, and the Grappler massive counters against buildings.
Epic bows to community criticism
The builders have likely won: However, Epic stated in the update announcement that they wanted to closely monitor how the change was received. They wish to draw further conclusions thereafter.

This has seemingly happened now, and Epic seems to have concluded that the new explosion rules were indeed not a good idea.
Hotfix restores previous state: Therefore, a hotfix has now reversed the explosion change. You can now once again protect yourself from bombs and rockets behind rickety wooden shacks.
What is your opinion on the update and the change? Did you find the new rule great, or are you glad that Epic listened to the community and is backtracking?
This is how you stay updated on Fortnite: You can find even more news, stories, and guides about the game on our Facebook page dedicated to Fortnite!

Fans of the Housing Editor from The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, PS4, Xbox One) can rejoice. ESO provides them with new tools to make setting up their own living spaces easier.
Along with the new DLC Murkmire, Update 20 has been rolled out for The Elder Scrolls Online. This free update gives players new housing tools. However, players say there is still room for improvement.
What’s new with Update 20?
Update 20 is free for all players and expands the beloved housing system with additional tools. Here’s a brief overview of the new features:
Undo and Redo: Players can easily toggle between changes made with the push of a button. If you preferred the bookshelf in the left corner of the room over the right, you can simply move it back there. A total of 200 steps from a single session can be undone or redone.
Group Items: You can merge individual furnishings into groups and move them together. This allows entire scenes to be moved that previously had to be realigned individually. You can even connect already grouped items with new ones, creating subgroups. Up to 50 items can be connected in this way.
What players praise about the new update
New tools are well received: The newly implemented feature to group items together is positively rated by players. According to players, new possibilities arise from this. One player writes about the grouping feature: “I decorated the house Klippschatten like a restaurant, and it’s really exhausting to move several tables just a few meters to the left.” With the new feature, it’s much easier.
However, the ability to undo changes is also well received by players. They can now move furnishings in conjunction with the grouping feature to another corner of the room and see if they like it better that way. If they don’t like the change, everything can quickly be reset to its original state.
How players think housing can improve further
But there are still further suggestions for improvement. Some players wish that they could retain the grouping in the inventory, to quickly place them in another house. One player jokes that would be a great idea for ESO Plus.
Another idea is that “linked” item groups could be united into one item. This could allow better use of the limited furnishing limit.
Besides the features implemented so far, players are also looking for further housing features from the developers:
If there were the possibility to mirror furnishings, it would be easier to build symmetrically.
The Housing Editor in ESO invites players to experiment
Players have been able to set up their own homes in The Elder Scrolls Online since early 2017. The feature is well received by players. Additionally, Zenimax regularly expands the game with new lots and items that can be placed within them.
Crazy creations: Players continually think of crazy things that can be realized with the housing editor. For example, one player has built a house within a house.
Some of the housing instances are huge. At the end of 2017, players could buy a €100 lot that was as large as an instance.
In Warframe, the new addon Fortuna is coming soon. To hype it up properly, the developers have launched an event where the community follows a kind of scavenger hunt on the internet. Additional lore and useful goodies can be won.
What exactly have the developers done? An ARG (Alternate Reality Game) is currently running in Warframe for the upcoming Fortuna launch. On the Discord server “Solaris United,” an unknown agent named “The Business” regularly posts secret messages and special missions. The messages must be decrypted.
There are robot fish on Orb Vallis
Thousands of players are eagerly at work, utilizing image analysis and spectrographs on sound files. This brings all sorts of information to light.
Fighting Against the Corporation
What does all this have to do with the game? The background of this online scavenger hunt is the story of Fortuna. It revolves around a defiant enclave of workers who no longer want to be enslaved by the greedy Corpus corporation.
In Warframe, Corpus embodies predatory capitalism, which is against any form of labor rights.
This leads to resistance, and The Business’s efforts are one of the measures meant to disrupt Corpus’s operations.
What does all this bring? Once information has been decrypted, The Business posts special codes in the Discord channel that grant additional resources. Furthermore, there is a wealth of additional lore as background for the Fortuna addon. This further intensifies the excitement and hype leading up to the launch of Fortuna in early November.
This sounds great, how can I participate? For all players who want to get involved in the ARG, here are the following addresses:
If you want to participate in the ARG for Fortuna as well, you should join the Discord server “Solaris United.”
There is also the server “ARGrataka,” where thousands of players eagerly discuss the puzzles.
Under the hashtag #LiftTogether on Twitter, there are also regular updates on the ARG.
On Reddit, there is a thread where you can see the history of the ARG.
Have fun puzzling!
How is the ARG received by players? Thousands of players are currently actively participating in the project. About 30,000 Tenno were involved in an in-game event and stole crates. In another mission, around 7 million Corpus tax collectors were eliminated during the mission period.
However, some fans criticize that the rewards and lore snippets are a bit lacking.
What is actually included in Fortuna? Here you will find out!
Together with Ninjatom as a breakthrough, there are also new field research missions around the Bug type in Pokémon GO in November 2018.
The new field research brings the chance to encounter several shiny Pokémon and you can catch the next form of the Pokémon Pandir. In November, everything revolves around the Bug type, meaning there will primarily be Bug-type Pokémon as rewards.
Additionally, the new Pokémon Nincada, Ninjask, and Ninjatom from Generation 3 are also making their way into the game through the field research.
Quests in November in Pokémon GO – Nincada & Co.
New Pokémon from Gen 3: In November, players can finally obtain Nincada from quests. This was one of the missing Pokémon from Generation 3. With 50 candies, you can evolve Nincada into Ninjask.

Pandir Form 7 in Pokémon GO
Along with the new field research missions, a new form of Pandir is also coming to Pokémon GO this month. Until now, trainers could catch forms 1, 3, and 8. Now, there is also Form 7 in Pokémon GO.
8 different forms: Pandir appears in 8 different forms. After Form 7, four additional forms are still missing, which will most likely be available in the coming months in Pokémon GO.
Form Number 7: Notably, Form Number 7 has a large spot between its eyes and another spot on its left ear.
New Shiny Family Available
As Niantic previously announced, Raupy can now be caught in its shiny form. By evolving it, you can also obtain Safcon and Smettbo in their shiny forms.
Collect Taubsi: To increase the chance of encountering a shiny Raupy, it is wise to collect Taubsi. The quest “Evolve two Taubsi” gives players the opportunity to obtain a Raupy that can also be shiny. So, collect this quest and Taubsi, so you can evolve them together.
More chances for shiny Pokémon: The quests from this month give players many possibilities for shiny Pokémon. For example, you can also obtain a shiny Tannza from the quests. This is a Pokémon that does not appear frequently in the wild. But Pokémon like Evoli or Karpador can also become shiny.
Pinsir Quest: After the shiny version of Pinsir was introduced during the Safari Zone in Taiwan, trainers worldwide now have the chance to more easily obtain Pinsir. Pinsir is a Pokémon that does not often appear in the wild. Therefore, it is convenient to be able to get it through a quest now.
In Destiny 2, the PvE experience in Gambit can vary completely from match to match – even when facing the same PvE enemies. Sometimes the mobs feel like super enemies, other times like the last weaklings. But what is the reason for this?
With the Forsaken expansion for Destiny 2, a brand new mode was introduced. This mode is called Gambit, which embodies a mix of cooperative PvE battles against AI enemies and PvP elements, where players compete against each other.
Some guardians have noticed that there might be a hidden mechanic in the background of the PvE part. What’s the matter?
Why does the Gambit experience sometimes vary so greatly? What fans think
Fans have noticed the following over time in Gambit: As numerous players report, the gameplay experience in Gambit against the AI enemies can vary greatly, even when encountering the same enemy race in the next match or a few rounds later.
There are moments when players feel like they die from just two enemy hits as soon as they peek their head out of cover – and this is across the whole map. Yet, in the subsequent match, one can comfortably stroll through entire hordes of enemies without reaching a critical state.
Conversely, it often behaves similarly. There are rounds where, for example, only a single melee hit is required for the Cabal dogs. A few rounds later, however, it may well happen that one melee attack is no longer sufficient, and a second has to be followed up – even though it is still the same Cabal dogs.
Furthermore, the enemies in Gambit often seem more aggressive and deadly than in most other PvE environments like strikes, events or patrols. Fans feel that in some matches, the enemies seem to endure more damage, shoot more accurately and quickly, or even track the guardians across the map. However, in just one round later, everything can be normal again.
What fans suspect behind the fluctuating experience: Officially, nothing is known about possible modifiers or potential buffs and debuffs for guardians or AI enemies. The only things that are known to change from round to round are the maps, the enemy races, and the human opponents.
However, due to these observations, many fans now conclude that there must be a hidden system with modifiers – similar to strikes or heroic story missions. This could modify the health, damage, and behavior of enemies.
Guardians themselves could also be affected by different buffs or debuffs in the background. This would explain why the experience sometimes changes drastically, requiring players to adapt their playstyle and arsenal accordingly.
The majority of fans have no problem with the current state of Gambit. However, some would like more transparency from Bungie so that they know what to expect and can better prepare for matches. The relevant Reddit post is currently one of the top topics in the Destiny 2 subreddit. It will be interesting to see if Bungie responds.
By the way: It would not be the first time that Bungie introduces hidden mechanics, as evidenced by the once secret ammunition or XP mechanics seen in the past.
What are your experiences in Gambit? Do you also think that the experience can vary drastically between individual matches? Or have you never noticed a significant change?

The Adventure Sync is now online in Pokémon GO! Players earn rewards for kilometers walked. We will show you what those rewards are.
The new Fitness feature Adventure Sync has been online in Pokémon GO since November 1st. There are rewards for 5 km, 25 km, and 50 km distances traveled.
What is Adventure Sync? This fitness feature was announced a few days ago by Niantic and works in the background of Pokémon GO. Even when the app is not open, players can cover kilometers for the game and hatch eggs. All without holding the phone in their hand.
Besides hatching eggs, you now also receive rewards when you cover certain distances in the game. We will show you the rewards.
Here are the rewards players get
If you reach one of the fitness goals in the game, you will receive a message from the game and rewards. The longer the distance traveled, the greater the rewards. The last reward is received at 50 km, which must be covered within a week.
Every week new: After a week, the values are reset to zero, and players can collect rewards up to 50 km again in the next week.
In Red Dead Online, there will probably be races. Additionally, the online mode of Red Dead Redemption 2 has a deathmatch feature and the ability to duel with players. That comes from a new leak.
Many players are eagerly awaiting the multiplayer mode of Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar Games has only stated so far that it will enter beta sometime in November and that the mode is supposed to be even more robust than GTA Online.
When a full release of Red Dead Online will happen is still unclear at this time.
Details via leak: The developers did not want to provide fans with exact details about the online mode yet. However, leaks now show that you can compete with other players in races in multiplayer.
What’s new? Latest leaks from Fireboyd78 show what players might expect in the online mode.
A duel feature – Here, players can apparently face off man-to-man and fight to see who is better.
Race – Racing in various forms is something Rockstar is already known for from GTA 5. Now, there’s hope for horse or carriage races in Red Dead Online.
What other leaks are there? There are also signs of parley and small wars between players. We will link the list of leaks for you here.
According to RockstarIntel, these found parameters are directly related to the multiplayer mode Red Dead Online.
Similarity to GTA 5 with small wars: If you get shot by another player in the online mode of GTA 5, you can challenge them to a match. Then, points are counted on how many times someone has killed the other. The following lines seem to be related to 1-on-1 matches in the online mode.
Respawn
Inform Law
Duel
Parley
If you don’t like it when another player opens fire on you, you could possibly report the other player with “Inform Law.”
Races in Red Dead Online
During data mining, a clear sign of races was also noted. The data miners from RockstarIntel found the following mission types that are apparently currently planned for Red Dead Online.
Mission
Deathmatch
Race
Community has already speculated: Many fans of Red Dead Redemption 2 already believed in advance that there would be a possibility to compete in horse races against other players in the multiplayer.
The details are still unclear, but there will probably be some form of race according to these leaks. Which of the leaked features would you be most excited about?
The BlizzCon 2018 is finally here. Will you follow it live and buy a virtual ticket? Or is that way too expensive for you?
Again this year, Blizzard is hosting its own trade fair and showcasing many new features coming to its games at BlizzCon 2018. Whether it’s about World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Diablo, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, or StarCraft, almost every gamer can look forward to announcements for one of the games.
€40 for a promotional event: Even though BlizzCon is broadly a promotional event for Blizzard, Blizzard charges a good amount for viewing the convention. Anyone who wants to follow BlizzCon live on stream must cough up a hefty €40 – that’s €10 more than in previous years. Only then do you have access to all panels, interviews, and insights into the development of your favorite game.
However: The so-called “Opening Ceremony”, the opening ceremony where all major announcements are presented in a quick overview, is free for everyone. It takes place today, on November 2, 2018, at 7 PM. You can therefore also decide after the introduction whether you want a ticket.
Goodies offer additional incentives: But aside from access to all streams, the virtual ticket offers even more incentives in the form of in-game rewards. For instance, players of WoW receive special toys, while Hearthstone fans receive a large amount of card packs. Additionally, this time there’s a demo access for World of Warcraft: Classic, which allows all buyers to take a look at the demo for a limited time.
But now let’s talk about you: Are you buying a virtual ticket? If so, why? Is it out of tradition? Are you eager for in-game rewards like the demo of WoW: Classic? Or is the money too precious for a promotional event whose info can be found everywhere a few hours later (but especially on Mein-MMO.de)?
If you want to justify your opinion even more, feel free to use the comments section under this post and discuss actively!
