Currently, fans of Destiny 2 are so annoyed with a Nightfall Strike that they have even started a petition to remove it from the Nightfall list this week. What is going on?
Numerous Guardians could not believe their eyes when they saw the three Nightfall Strikes available after the Weekly Reset on November 6th. A particular Strike seems to manifest as an eternal plague in the Nightfall rotation and refuses to disappear. Fans are starting to get restless and are calling for a fix.
How long will “The Hollowed Hideout” continue to annoy? Fans start petition
Currently, one of the new Forsaken Strikes is causing trouble. The Hollowed Hideout is driving the Guardians crazy.
What is the problem with the Hollowed Hideout? Since the release of Forsaken, Guardians have three Nightfall Strikes to choose from each week. Bungie aimed to create more variety and facilitate the hunt for certain Nightfall-exclusive rewards.
However, the Strike “The Hollowed Hideout” does the exact opposite and has dominated the weekly Nightfall Strike list for four weeks.
While other Strikes have appeared multiple times in recent weeks, which has already annoyed the community.
But The Hollowed Hideout seems stuck and simply refuses to make way for Strikes like Foreign Terrain, which Guardians have been desperately waiting for weeks – be it for a specific weapon, a triumph, or for a special title.
How fans are reacting: Criticism of the Nightfall rotation has been growing louder over the past few weeks. The “eternal” Nightfall Strike The Hollowed Hideout has finally caused the situation to boil over.
Fans are now so annoyed by the Strike that they are not only expressing their frustration in numerous posts but have also started a petition on reddit. There, they are demanding the removal of the Strike from this week’s Nightfall list.
His reign of terror should finally come to an end.
In just 16 hours, the petition received over 5,000 upvotes and is receiving broad support from the community. Fans are clearly fed up with the Strike, as numerous comments demonstrate.
What does Bungie say? Although the criticism is not new, the developers had not spoken out until now. However, the petition seems to have brought about some movement.
On Twitter, Bungie has now officially stated that they are looking into the issue. Destiny 2 might soon finally relieve its fans from this annoying Nightfall Strike. However, it is still unknown how long Guardians will have to wait for a solution to the problem.
How do you see the situation? Can you also not stand the Strike anymore? Or do you not understand all the fuss?

Title Update No. 3 for FIFA 19 is here and makes some improvements. This includes a revision of shooting mechanics, and some players are getting new faces. We summarize the most important patch contents for you.
The patch revises the shooting behavior and precision of virtual players, as well as the impact of defenders in certain situations. Additionally, around 50 players receive new, improved facial animations. You can read the detailed changes here.
The patch brings changes to shooting behavior
Among the biggest changes is the revision of finesse shots under certain circumstances. Furthermore, the influence of defenders on strikers who are about to shoot has been adjusted.
Direct shots from certain angles will be less precise
This is how finesse shots are revised: Finesse shots can now go wrong more often under certain circumstances. If the ball comes from a direction behind the player and he shoots directly, the ball’s speed, precision, and spin will now be more strongly influenced.
If the ball comes at an angle between 135 and 225 degrees to the player, i.e., the area behind the player, the subsequent shot will be less precise.
EA has released a diagram for this. 0° (Top) represents the view toward the goal.
How does this affect? EA provides us with comparison images that should show how the update affects the success rate of shots. For this, they took Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne and had him execute 100 finesse shots with balls coming from an angle of 135 and 180°.
Two diagrams show what changes occur with finesse shots taken directly from a 180° angle.
Before the update:
The blue lines show the hits into the net, the red ones are missed shots. After the update, shots miss significantly more often and show a greater variation in their trajectory.
After the update:
With shots where the ball came from a 135° angle, similar results are seen.
What changes? According to EA, it has been observed that defenders standing directly in front of a shooting striker have little influence on the shot’s trajectory.
It is unrealistic and undesirable that strikers can finish successfully despite such pressure. Therefore, adjustments are also made here. Again, this is illustrated with a diagram, this time 100 shots were taken with Romelu Lukaku from Manchester United.
Before the update:
After the update:
Here, too, the influence of the update is visible. The defender seems to exert noticeably more pressure on the striker, resulting in more spread out and imprecise shots.
Conversely, defenders who attacked the striker from behind apparently had too great an influence on their shots. Adjustments were also made here, and shots are now more precise.
Before the update:
After the update:
Here, the adjustments are not quite as noticeable, yet it is clear that shots now miss less often.
What changes? EA has observed that simple shots taken without pressure from other players frequently hit the post or go wide for no apparent reason.
This has now been revised. This is again illustrated by a graphic showing 100 attempts with Neymar.
Before the update:
After the update:
New faces for players and managers
The update also brings a variety of revised faces for 48 players and 2 managers.
These are well-known players getting a new look: The list includes well-known names like Gareth Bale (Real Madrid) and Diego Costa (Atlético Madrid), as well as former Bundesliga players like Heung Ming Son (Tottenham Hotspur).
Now, there are no more Halloween decorations; the houses are back to normal and without ornaments. In addition, there is a new football field and a PC bang. The burger shop, however, is now closed, and the tomato heads seem to be winning.
Thus, the Halloween decoration shop in Retail Row is also closed again, and the entrances are boarded up.
The end of the burgers?
Those who always saw themselves on the team of the burger heads in Fortnite must also be very strong. Because the big Durr Burger restaurant in Greasy Grove is closed! Instead, there is an almost mocking food truck of the tomato heads from Pizza Pit in front of the ruins.
At Pleasant Park, there used to be a soccer field. This has now been converted into an American football field. This is fitting for the new NFL skins that Fortnite will soon bring to the shop.
The latest discovery is a new building at Paradise Palms. There, a type of internet café modeled after a Korean PC bang (as stated on the sign) has emerged. The store is called Keyboard King, and according to a leak, there should also be specific challenges if you are in certain real PC bangs in South Korea and gaming there.
Fortnite is set to launch big in South Korea in PC bangs on November 8, 2018. A dedicated Korean marketing campaign with Chris Pratt as Starlord has also recently been launched.
The studio behind League of Legends, Riot Games, is being sued by two women. A former and a current employee accuse the LoL studio of discriminating against women.
This is what the lawsuit is about: The two plaintiffs claim that they were denied equal pay to men. Additionally, their careers have been hindered by being women.
The working conditions at the studio behind League of Legends have been negatively impacted by a misogynistic culture at Riot Games characterized by sexual harassment, inappropriate behavior, and biases against women.
The two plaintiffs want: They demand compensation for unpaid wages, damages, and other penalties. The amount will be determined in court.
The women further state that they want to stop Riot’s business practices:
Paying men more than women for the same job
Promoting men over women
500 times “Dick” in a month
This is what allegedly happened to Jessica Negron:
One of the plaintiffs is Jessica Negron. She claims that when she started at Riot, her manager quit, and she took over their duties but did not receive higher pay or the title of manager. Instead, three men were hired and given the job without considering Negron.
But she was offered to perform the duties of the supervisory job again after the third man left. Negron still would not have been promoted.
Negron reports that in one month she heard the word “Dick” 500 times at Riot Games. Negron is no longer with Riot Games.
Bosses in a nightclub in Shanghai
This is what allegedly happened to Melanie McCracken: The second plaintiff is Melanie McCracken, who has been working at the LoL studio since 2013.
She believes that she was denied promotions and fair pay. Moreover, she was punished by male supervisors.
She had issues with her direct supervisor after he said that no women should be hired for open higher positions. Additionally, he found it odd to have a man as an assistant.
When she asked him for a higher position, he rejected it.
After McCracken complained to HR about her supervisor, information was leaked to him from there.
McCracken then took a new job, but her supervisor was promoted to the same department. He then told her that she had 5 months to find a new position in the company, or she would be fired.
In her next position, she then worked for the leadership team of Riot Games and received a video showing two of the bosses with scantily clad women in a nightclub in Shanghai.
One of the bosses apparently got the impression that she had leaked the video. This further harmed her career.
Riot Games in the news with sex culture since 2018
Riot has been in the spotlight since August: In August 2018, a report about the work environment at Riot Games appeared on the site Kotaku. It reported a so-called “Bro culture” where sexual innuendos and a rough manner were the order of the day.
They reportedly preferred to hire “aggressive men” who fit the image of the “Core Gamer” over female applicants. These aggressive men were then further promoted. Those who complained about sexism harmed their careers.
This report prompted former employees of Riot Games to come forward and share their stories about the studio behind League of Legends.
This is Riot’s response: Following the Kotaku report, Riot announced plans to work on its work culture and aims to become “more diverse”. A workshop at a gaming fair aimed specifically at women led to conflict with angry male fans who felt excluded.
This ultimately led to the firing of employees who opposed these upset fans.
Additionally, Riot Games has hired a diversity expert for corporate culture.
This is Riot’s statement regarding the lawsuit: Regarding the lawsuit, they state that they do not comment on ongoing legal disputes. However, they take it very seriously and will investigate it thoroughly.
Riot Games remains committed to pursuing a profound and comprehensive evolution of corporate culture to make Riot a place where all Rioters can thrive.
In Destiny 2 offers Spider a new major Wanted bounty this week. This time you need to track down and eliminate the Arcadia Accord. As a reward, powerful gear awaits.
Who is the Arcadia Accord? The Arcadia Accord is the final boss of the new weekly bounty “Wanted: Arcadia Accord”. This Vex enemy has escaped from the Prison of Elders. Now it’s time to hunt him down and eliminate him. You can find the bounty at Spider – the merchant of the Tangled Shore.
What reward do I get? If you successfully complete the bounty, you will receive powerful gear. This is random loot that drops items beyond the soft cap of Power Level 500.
The Arcadia Accord is the only bounty at Spider this week that drops powerful gear. You can use his remaining weekly bounties to reach Power Level 500.
Location and mechanics of Arcadia Accord in Destiny 2
Here’s how to find and defeat the Arcadia Accord:
Step 1: Head to Spider in the Tangled Shore and obtain the corresponding bounty with five Ghost Fragments.
Keep in mind: you need at least a Power Level of 500 to be able to accept the bounty. A Power Level of 540 is recommended. However, in a fireteam, the bounty can also be completed with a lower level. The bounty expires seven days after purchase.
Here you will find the adventure “Wanted: Arcadia Accord”
Step 2: Now fly to Nessus and go to the area “Grove of Echoes”. Look for the adventure “Wanted: Arcadia Accord”. However, note that the corresponding adventure may also spawn in other areas. But no worries – even then, the important mechanics remain the same.
If you don’t find it in the Grove of Echoes, check the other adventure icons until you find the Arcadia Accord. You can find an overview of all Lost Sectors here:
Here is the entrance to the Lost Sector “The Kallus Pit”
Step 3: Once you have found the adventure, accept it and enter the adjacent Lost Sector “The Kallus Pit” (may vary). There you will encounter powerful Vex enemies. So don’t rush in blindly, but proceed with caution. You are not under time pressure.
Follow the path of the Lost Sectors and fight your way up to the top platform in a large room where you will find the initially invulnerable Vex boss Arcadia Accord and some smaller Vex enemies.
This is how you defeat the final boss Arcadia Accord
The wanted Vex boss in his shield and an anomaly above his head
Step 4: Now the boss fight begins. First, take out the smaller Vex. The boss is now standing still and is invulnerable, as he is protected by a shield.
To deactivate the shield, you must destroy anomalies. These are bright blue glowing and conspicuous structures that can appear anywhere in the room. If an anomaly is active, you will receive a corresponding notification on the left side of the screen. The first anomaly is located directly above the boss.
Now destroy the anomaly. When the corresponding notification disappears, you have destroyed all the necessary structures. This will cause the Vex boss to lose his shield and become vulnerable. Now you can deal damage to the boss.
You need to find and destroy these anomalies
After a while, his shield will recharge and new enemies and new anomalies will spawn. Now you must again take out his minions and look for and destroy the new anomalies in order to then fight the boss.
You repeat this until the boss is eliminated. Finally, you must redeem the completed bounty in your inventory. Then you will receive a powerful reward.
Note: The longer you take for the fight, the more anomalies will spawn over time that you need to find and destroy to make the boss lose his shield.

You want to find Power Armor in Fallout 76? Then you have several options. We show you seven locations in West Virginia where you can encounter Power Armor.
They are probably the icon of the Fallout series next to Vault Boy: Power Armors. There are several that are scattered throughout the world of Fallout 76.
What is Power Armor? These are armors that can protect you from the dangers of the wasteland at least partially. They can be found all over the game world, and there are several variants. More information about Power Armors and their benefits can be found in our guide.
But where can you find them? This guide presents seven places where you can obtain Power Armor.
What exactly are Power Armors? The iconic combat suits are present in every Fallout installment and are extremely useful in combat and movement.
But they are not indestructible. A Power Armor initially consists only of a “basic skeleton” that can then be equipped with various parts. You can put on or take off these parts from the skeleton and store them in your inventory like regular equipment.
Here are the advantages of a Power Armor: With an armor, you are
protected from radiation,
immune to fall damage,
can carry more
and endure more.
You do not need armor parts for these benefits; they only enhance the effects.
These Power Armors have been found so far:
Raider
T-51b
T-45
T-60
Excavator
Ultracite
X-01
Can you steal Power Armors from other players? No, no one can use your armor without permission. So you don’t have to worry if you want to leave it somewhere.
What if there is no Power Armor found at the locations? Then someone was there before you, and you will probably have to come back later. It may take a while for them to respawn.
PCGamer has introduced five locations near Vault 76 with corresponding videos. We summarize these for you.
1. Morgantown Rail Depot
At this location, you will find the Power Armor: Not far east of Vault 76 is probably the nearest Power Armor at the Morgantown Rail Depot. Keep an eye out for a train, east of the center of the depot.
The proximity to Vault 76 means that this one is found most frequently. Many players spawn in the area and take their first steps in Appalachia.
Therefore, it may be that some players in the lower level range are here. It will likely be difficult to get one there. This video shows you where to find the armor.

At this location, you will find the Power Armor: The next Power Armor is located in a two-story warehouse in Morgantown. To the west is Mama Dolce’s Factory, which is also shown on the map.
Just walk through the house until you should encounter the armor in the back area. Here too, there is a chance that the armor is already gone since it is not far from Vault 76.
3. Aaronholdt Homestead
At this location, you will find the Power Armor: Northwest of Vault 76, you will find the Aaronholdt Homestead. Use the Ferris wheel on the map for orientation.
South of the homestead, you will find three silos with a large shed where the armor is located. However, you will need a key for this, which you can find east of the shed on a corpse. It is in a bathtub on a small hill.
At this location, the Power Armor is located: The Moundsville Penitentiary is located north of the Morgantown Rail Depot. A lot of super mutants await you there.
You will find the armor in a yellow building in the center of the penitentiary.
5. Watoga
At this location, you will find the Power Armor: In the southeast of the map, you will find a town called Watoga. Here, some hostile Protectrons and Mr. Handys await you, which you should deal with first.
In the neighborhood below the large tripod monument, a Power Armor awaits you. It stands in front of a building with a neon sign that says “AMS”.
At this location, you will find the Power Armor: The camp is located east of Route 63. In the north, you can orient yourself by the observatory. The armor is located inside the barracks, which are not heavily guarded.
7. Pleasant Valley Cabins
At this location, you will find the Power Armor: You can find this location northwest of Top of the World. In this area, some super mutants and robots are roaming around. If you fight your way through, you will eventually reach a building whose interior is set up like an arena.
There in the center, you will find the Power Armors.
Can Power Armors be used indefinitely? Your Power Armors can run out of juice. To power them up, you need fusion cores. You can find these in the game world, or you can buy them from certain vendors.
If you ever run out of power, get out of the Power Armor and collect the equipped parts if you come across a charged armor.
There are new Pokémon in Pokémon GO again! This time, Bamelin and Bojelin, and the baby Pokémon of Roselia, Knospi, have been released.
The three new Pokémon came along with the Stardust event in the game. You can find the Pokémon in the wild, in raids, or hatching from eggs.
We will show you where to find the new Pokémon.
Bamelin, Bojelin, and Knospi
The three new Pokémon are not easy to find. Currently, another event is ongoing in the wild.
Bamelin and Bojelin
Bamelin and its evolution Bojelin are Water-type Pokémon. The stats of both Pokémon are not particularly impressive. They are mainly good for collecting and for the PokéDex entry.
Bamelin Raid: If you can’t find Bamelin in the wild, you can also challenge it in a raid battle. Bamelin is a Level 1 raid and therefore easy to handle alone.
Knospi
Knospi is the pre-evolution of Roselia, which has been catchable since Generation 3.
Only from eggs: Knospi is a baby Pokémon and these can only hatch from eggs. You can find Knospi in 5 km eggs.
Also available in shiny: Since Roselia is also available in its shiny form, Knospi can also be found shiny. Because it only hatches from eggs, shiny Knospi is even rarer.
Baby Pokémon hatch from 7 km eggs: So far, only Alolan Pokémon have hatched from the 7 km eggs and occasionally regional Pokémon during an event. Now the first players have also received baby Pokémon like Pichu from the eggs, as they shared on Reddit. However, Knospi remains in 5 km eggs.
Blizzard is changing the playable classes of the Zandalari and Kul Tirans in World of Warcraft and is contradicting itself multiple times.
At BlizzCon, Blizzard introduced the next Allied Races of World of Warcraft in more detail. The playable classes of the Zandalari Trolls and the Humans of Kul Tiras were revealed. However, it seems that there was an error in both presentations, which Blizzard is now correcting.
Zandalari Trolls cannot become Warlocks.
Humans of Kul Tiras can become Mages.
Why the change? The blog post reveals that Zandalari Trolls have no connection to Fel magic and therefore cannot become Warlocks.
Mages among the Kul Tirans are indeed very rare and unusual, but there are a few prominent examples, which is why Kul Tirans are allowed to become Mages.
Blizzard’s statements are contradictory: In the official post, it is stated that “an error” has crept into the presentation of the Kul Tirans and Zandalari at BlizzCon.
Previously, Alex Afrasiabi stated in an interview that he would advocate for Kul Tirans to become Mages, but there were reasons for the decision against it. The two statements do not quite align.
Additionally, the statements about the Zandalari trolls contradict earlier lore. Back in “Classic,” there were “Zandalari Demoniacs” from whom players could even obtain gear in Zul’Gurub. These were Zandalari trolls who absorbed demons within themselves—similar to demon hunters.
Ultimately, this is irrelevant for the final outcome: Zandalari will not become Warlocks, and Kul Tirans can become Mages.
What classes can be played? With the current change, the playable classes for the two races include:
Kul Tirans:
Druid
Hunter
Mage
Monk
Priest
Rogue
Shaman
Warrior
Zandalari:
Druid
Hunter
Mage
Monk
Paladin
Priest
Rogue
Shaman
Warrior
Will you play a Mage from Kul Tiras? Or will you now no longer play a Zandalari because they cannot become Warlocks?
In Pokémon GO there is now a Stardust event active. Especially with the Community Day in sight, hefty bonuses are in store.
For trainers in Pokémon GO, an event started on the evening of November 6th, enticing with large Stardust rewards.
Fans are thrilled: The duration of the event gives even more reason to cheer, as it overlaps with the upcoming Community Day featuring Cyndaquil. With the combination of bonuses, there is a Stardust fest that no one should miss.
The Stardust Event in November
What’s new? Niantic announced that there is now more Stardust for certain actions in the game.
Which actions bring more Stardust? Hatching eggs and catching Pokémon reward trainers with double the amount of Stardust.
How long does the event last? The event started on November 6th at 10:00 PM and goes until November 13th at 10:00 PM. So you have a full week to take advantage of these bonuses and increase your Stardust supply.
This is why Stardust is popular: This is probably very welcome among trainers. Generally, Stardust is an important resource for powering up Pokémon. Additionally, the Adventure Sync rewards have been reduced, so they now only provide a fraction of the actual dust.
6x Stardust on Community Day
The new event was well received by many trainers at first glance. Upon closer inspection, players realized what bonuses they can actually expect. 4x Stardust rewards are on the way. With a Star Piece, even more.
Why 4x Stardust? The Community Day featuring Cyndaquil takes place on November 10th. The bonuses of the event include double XP and double Stardust for catching Pokémon. Both events will run at the same time on Saturday. Thus, you will receive the 4x Stardust rewards for catching Pokémon.
That’s why the Star Piece is worth it: Anyone wanting to get the most out of Community Day will pull out their Star Pieces on Saturday and properly boost the resources with 6x Stardust.
On social media, trainers are excited about this announcement and can hardly wait for Community Day.
And new Pokémon are also involved
Shortly after the event, it became clear that there are now additional Generation 4 Pokémon to be found in the game.
The wait is finally over. The Alliance can now march into the World of Warcraft at the warfront. There is plenty of loot waiting!
After long days of gathering, the time has come again. The Alliance has gathered enough resources in World of Warcraft to finally launch an attack against the Horde in the Arathi Highlands. The warfront “Battle for Stromgarde” is now available for Alliance players!
How can you participate in the battle? To take part in the warfront in the Arathi Highlands, your character must reach level 120 and bring an item level of 320. Then you can register at the mission table next to your ship, where you also turned in the resources.
Cool 370 loot is waiting: Make sure to take the quest for the warfront as well. It offers a reward box containing an item with at least item level 370. Additionally, generally completing the warfront can be worthwhile, as a victory will reward you with an item that is at least 340.
So if you have characters that just barely possess an item level of 320, they can completely equip themselves with the warfronts without much effort and are then ready for “Mythic+” dungeons or even heroic raids.
How does the warfront proceed? After the start, you must first fight to free your camp and then gather resources, wood, and iron. With this, you can build structures that produce and upgrade a fighting force. You then lead these troops into battle and capture post after post until the Horde falls under the assault. We also have a detailed guide with all information about the warfront.
One week time: The Alliance now has exactly one week (until 13.11.) to experience the warfront. After that, it has officially gained control over the Arathi Highlands and the cycle begins anew. Then the Horde must gather resources again, while the Alliance can slay rare enemies in the Arathi Highlands.
Have you already checked out the warfront? How do you like the Battle for Stromgarde? Did you snag some good loot?
Data miner Chrales has once again found sprites of Pokémon from Generation 4 in the code of Pokémon GO. We will show you which Pokémon were found.
What was found? The data miner Chrales regularly searches the code of Pokémon GO for new features. This time he found new sprites of various Pokémon from Generation 4.
What are sprites? In this case, the sprites are the graphics of the Pokémon. What we see from the Pokémon in the game.
What does this mean for us? The same data miner had first found sprites of Pokémon from Generation 4 a few days ago. Shortly after that, some of these Pokémon were released. Now Chrales has found seven new graphics of Pokémon from Generation 4. Therefore, it could be that the next new Pokémon will be released soon.
These Pokémon were found
Chrales found seven new sprites in the code this time. Last time, he even found 90 of these graphics. Now only a few sprites of Generation 4 are missing.
These sprites were found by Chrales: The data miner found the sprites of Bamelin, Traunmagil, Glibunkel, Lumineon, Mantrips, Shnebedeck, and Zwirrfinst. These Pokémon are all of different types and, at first glance, have no connection.
What do the Pokémon still need? Apart from the sprites, a Pokémon also needs sounds or attacks before the release. These are usually added shortly before the release. These sounds and attacks are still missing for the Pokémon that have just been discovered.
These Pokémon are still missing in the code: Only 12 graphics are still missing, then all sprites of Generation 4 will be in the code of Pokémon GO. They are the graphics of Burmy, Burmadame, Schalellos, Gastrodon, Mobai, Hippopotas, Hippoterus, Tangoloss, Yanmega, Rotom, Manaphy, and Arceus.
Are new Pokémon coming now? It is not known whether new Pokémon from Generation 4 will be released. However, it is still conceivable that a new wave of Generation 4 Pokémon is waiting for us soon.
What do you think? When will new Pokémon from Generation 4 come into the game?
Wes, the boy who was the first to enter the wasteland of Fallout 76 due to his terminal cancer, has passed away. Now the community pays its respects to him.
What happened? A while ago, we reported about little Wes. He suffered from neuroblastoma, a deadly form of cancer. As a big Fallout fan, he feared he would never have the chance to play Fallout 76.
This is how the community remembers the first wastelander: Many express their condolences and say goodbye to Wes with a quote familiar from Fallout 4, “Ad Victoriam”. This means “To Victory” and originates from a main quest of the Brotherhood of Steel.
Reddit user eArtillery writes:
Stories like these make me happy and sad at the same time. The fact that we can honor those we have lost even under the most unfortunate circumstances and do our best to make them happy while they were still alive. Rest in peace.
Other users call for remembering Wes in the beta before the Vault. Others hope that he will be immortalized somehow in the game. One suggestion is to set up his built camp at the original location as part of the game world.
In what form Wes could be immortalized, or perhaps has already been immortalized, is just speculation. With the many holotapes and notes in Fallout 76, it would not be surprising to find at least a message. Perhaps we will actually be able to visit his camp.
Either way, Wes will be remembered by many as the first Vault dweller to enter the wasteland.

The upcoming weekly challenges for Fortnite are known. However, according to the first leak, not many exciting challenges are expected in week 7. Instead, there seems to be a lot of the familiar.
Datamining leak shows the new tasks: Once again, data miners have found hints about what challenges await you next week in Season 6. However, it seems they have only discovered 6 of the 7 tasks so far.
Warning, all without guarantee: Quite a bit has gone wrong with the predictions of the tasks in Season 6. It’s quite possible that something will change in week 7.
The free challenges without Battle Pass in Season 6, week 7
Search ammo boxes in a single match (7): This task has been in the game before and was quite a pain. You have a good chance of completing this task only if you land in remote areas without many players.
Deal headshot damage to opponents (500): A task that is easier than one might think. Especially with SMGs, shotguns, and assault rifles, it’s easy to hit the head. The new heavy assault rifle is especially good for this. And good snipers always aim for the head anyway.
Eliminate opponents with the shotgun (3): Shotguns are good weapons for kills. However, this task might be swapped out since it has been around in a similar form before.
For these 4 tasks in week 7, you need the Battle Pass
Fly through floating rings (20): If this task really occurs, it would be the third time you’re asked to complete it. However, it’s still not a problem to sail through floating rings.
Phase 1: Consume apples (5): This task is likely to evolve. You’ll probably still need to consume mushrooms and shadow stones after that. That’s all easily solved.
Eliminate opponents in Pleasant Park (3): Pleasant Park is a good place to quickly grab a weapon and go hunting.
Hopefully everything changes!
The most boring challenges of all time! All these tasks sound terribly unspectacular. There’s no search and no uniqueness. Therefore, we can only hope that Epic wanted to troll data miners with false information and that better challenges will appear on Thursday.
Once the tasks are finally live, we will provide the correct challenges and comprehensive guides again.

The official patch notes for update 2.0.5.1 are now available, but they are not particularly extensive. As already suspected, it was just a minor issue.
According to the change log, a problem has only been fixed that made the quest “The Lost Cryptarch” inaccessible for some players.
An old battlefield from World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King is being renewed. Soon there will be war in Northrend!
In an interview at BlizzCon with the French site Mamytwink, Jeremy Feasel and Tina Wang from Blizzard talked about some details of the future of World of Warcraft. A long-time fan favorite is returning – the battlefield “Wintergrasp”.
What is Wintergrasp? Wintergrasp was an “Open World” battlefield during the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. While one faction controlled a fortress, the other faction could capture workshops and build vehicles to tear down and conquer the fortress.
The battlefield was quite popular at the time but also important for PvE players, as only those who controlled Wintergrasp could enter the Chamber of Archavon, a “mini-raid” that dropped very good loot with little effort – for both PvE and PvP players.
In the PvP rotation, Wintergrasp logically will not grant access to the raid and will instead be added as an epic battlefield to the other battlegrounds.
What is an “epic battlefield”? Epic battlegrounds are a separate group of battlegrounds that players can select through the PvP menu. They are larger and typically last longer than the regular battlegrounds like Arathi Basin and Warsong Gulch.
Currently, the only epic battlegrounds are Alterac Valley and Isle of Conquest. For the longer duration of the battlefield, there are also greater rewards – more honor and more often a reward chest, even in defeat.
When will Wintergrasp be released? When exactly Wintergrasp will be reintroduced as an epic battlefield is still unknown, although Feasel stated that it will “be soon” – for Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance, it seems too late.
However, they want to gather sufficient feedback from the community and possibly revise some aspects of the gameplay.
There is really only one question left: Will Wintergrasp in its new version finally have “exciting air battles”, as was promised on the packaging of Wrath of the Lich King? We will probably know that in a few months.
Are you excited to play Wintergrasp again and tear down the walls? Or is it good that “1k Winter” is just a relic of the past?

During a charity stream, the developers of Guild Wars 2 announced changes to PvP and WvW. This includes the introduction of a new two-versus-two game mode and a new map for classic PvP.
What new features were presented? In ArenaNet’s 24-hour livestream for the organization Extra Life, two new PvP maps were showcased.
The first map has been specifically created for a new two-versus-two mode.
The second map presented features the usual three capture points and is designed for five-versus-five play.
The new features are expected to be released on November 13 as part of a larger update for PvP.
The two new PvP maps
How can you play the new PvP mode? The new two-versus-two game mode will not have an official queue. To enter the map showcased on Twitch, you will need your own arena.
You can purchase this in the PvP lobby for 200 gold. There, you can set which maps can be played. On the new map, the focus is on life-and-death combat in deathmatch mode.
However, the developers are holding back on balancing and support. Initially, no changes specific to the new arena will be made.

The new capture map: Djinns’s Dominion will be the new map in five-versus-five arena PvP. It is expected to initially be added to the unranked queue and tested there extensively.
If the players deem the map good, it could also be introduced to the ranked arenas. The large estate on the map offers many hiding spots and opportunities to evade enemy attacks. Many players are already looking forward to this.

In January, ArenaNet announced a major overhaul for World versus World. This overhaul is meant to replace the existing server system with alliances. Since the official announcement, fans of the game mode have been waiting in vain for new information.
This did not change with the livestream. At least there will be a small change related to rewards.
Reward rank in WvW will be retained: The reward progress in WvW will no longer be reset when you leave World versus World. So if you have a high participation rank and then switch to PvE, you will keep the rank.
Of course, you will no longer receive WvW rewards in PvE. However, if you return to the borderlands, you will pick up where you left off.
In Anthem, loot will play an important role in developing your equipment. Lead producer Ben Irving has now confirmed that all players will receive their own loot.
In games where players have to share loot, disputes can arise quickly. Everyone is, of course, eager to grab the best loot. In Anthem, you will not have to fight each other for loot distribution.
Individual loot for everyone: In BioWare’s cooperative shooter, you will be able to team up in groups of up to four players. However, you will each receive your own loot, regardless of your teammates.
You can encounter this little guy named Grabbit in Anthem.
Collecting loot as a core element: A crucial aspect of Anthem will be the hunt for the best and rarest loot. You improve your exosuits, the Javelins, through the items you find on missions. The loot you collect will be found in your personal space, Fort Tarsis.
The first testers provided feedback: The developers at BioWare also discussed the initial closed alpha tests. Based on the testers’ feedback, there will be some changes.
The following aspects will still be adjusted:
The loot drops are expected to be increased
Players felt they didn’t have enough to do in the alpha build due to limited testing content. Therefore, content is expected to be drastically increased in future builds
Players want to float longer with the Javelins. The developers want to test this
The UI will be revamped so that friends can be found more easily
The test aimed to check the technical status: This first test primarily focused on the server technologies. Here, the structures should be examined with a small group of players. In this context, players were already able to provide content-related feedback.
Before the launch, BioWare wants to address some of the criticisms. Testers were able to play three missions with a level cap of 5.
At TwitchCon 2018, players had the opportunity to try out the new Archer class of the MMORPG Black Desert hands-on. Some players recorded the gameplay with their camera, allowing us to take a first look at the skills.
YouTuber Rinku Talks was able to try out the new Archer class at TwitchCon. The Archer has been eagerly awaited by many players for several years.
First Impression of the Archer
In the video, players can form an initial opinion on the Archer’s gameplay. The class comes with many different new abilities.
This is shown in the video:
Players can get a first impression of the skills. The Archer seems to be very agile.
In battles, the Archer relies on different weapons. His crossbow allows him to shoot arrows. With the magical glove, he can use additional abilities.
A particular focus is placed on the ability Fury of Arrows. This ability knocks down opponents on hit. According to the ability description, the knockdown should only work on opponents in PvE. At TwitchCon, the ability also worked on other players.
Not all skills are testable: Unfortunately, visitors to TwitchCon could not try out all of the Archer’s abilities. Rinku Talks suspects that about half of the skills were unlocked.
There is still not much known about the awakening skills. The Archer will rely on a longbow for his strongest abilities.
Unfortunately, the Archer will not be part of the upcoming update Drieghan.

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, a new weapon has been introduced. It is the Heavy Assault Rifle, which is modeled after an AK-47. You can find out how the new weapon performs in the game here.
What can the AK-47 do? With Patch 6.22 came the new Heavy Assault Rifle. It is available in “Rare” to “Legendary” tiers and is significantly stronger than the previous assault rifles. However, it shoots slower and has less ammunition.
However, in initial gameplay tests, the new gun has proven to be exceptionally strong when handled correctly.
Great at Distance, Poor in Close Combat
First Gameplay of the new weapon: The YouTuber Halo Okraheads obtained a Heavy Assault Rifle in a video and had initial experiences with it. Here are his findings:
Brutal Damage: The AK-47 inflicts over 10 points more damage than the comparable assault rifles of the corresponding tiers. Three hits can take down any opponent as long as they have no significant shields.
Headshot Overkill: Particularly with headshots, you can deal considerable damage with the AK-47. Halo Okraheads eliminated an opponent with a single shot due to a random headshot that dealt 192 points of damage. That’s remarkably high!

Is the new weapon completely overpowered? Fortunately not, as the AK-47 has its disadvantages:
Not a Close Combat Weapon: The weapon fires much slower than other assault rifles or even SMGs. So, you should not use it in close combat.
Bloom: The Heavy Assault Rifle is susceptible to bloom, causing deviation at long distances. Therefore, you should only use it with single shots and definitely not with continuous fire. However, well-placed shots in quick succession are effective with the significant damage of the AK-47 at medium range.
Low Ammunition: The magazine contains only 25 rounds. If luck is against you, you may have to reload just when you are under fire.
Who should play with the Heavy Assault Rifle? In its current form, the AK-47 is ideal for players who do not run around like wild Rambo, but rather for those who want to take out opponents with a few well-placed hits. Or for players who want to quickly shoot through walls with the high damage of their weapon.
What are your thoughts on the AK-47? Have you already found the new weapon, and what have been your experiences with it?
