Are you using Steam and looking for a Free2Play MMO that hosts many players? We present five Steam titles that have a large population in November 2018 and can also be played for free. You can download all games immediately and start for free.
Based on Steamcharts (as of 08.11.2018) we compiled the list to introduce you to the Free2Play MMOs that currently have many players. For this list, we excluded MMORPGs because we featured the most popular MMORPGs on Steam in a separate article.
Therefore, this list mainly includes online action games and online shooters.
Keep in mind that player numbers can change frequently when new games are released or an update for a game is published.
What is World of Tanks Blitz? World of Tanks Blitz is a cross-platform, team-based offshoot of the well-known online action game World of Tanks.
The Blitz variant is playable on Steam, Mac, and on mobile devices. Tactical and action-packed tank battles are at the forefront, where you can control over 200 vehicles.
On 18 maps, players compete against each other in online multiplayer battles and tactically utilize the capabilities of the tanks. You can even upgrade the vehicles. The title focuses on ease of use and is somewhat less complex than the “original” World of Tanks.
How many players does World of Tanks Blitz have on Steam: World of Tanks Blitz had an average of about 8,960 players online simultaneously in the last 30 days. The peak was 25,622 players.
What the reviews say: The review of World of Tanks Blitz is “balanced”. Many feel it lacks depth and the balance and instability of the servers are criticized.
DudeSweet99 writes on Steam: “The game is at best okay. You can kill some time with it.”
My dad is my son says: “I really like this game. It’s easier than the ‘original’.”

Community Manager Yvonne has been responsible for MMORPGs like Last Chaos at gamigo for 7 years. She tells us about her work. How much influence does the feedback from German players have on the MMORPG?
The German company gamigo manages the European version of several MMORPGs from Asia such as Aura Kingdom, Last Chaos, Echo of Soul or Fiesta Online. We held an interview with a community manager from gamigo to gain insight into her work.
Yvonne primarily manages the MMORPG Last Chaos. The game was released in South Korea in 2006. It has been playable in Europe since 2008.
Hello Yvonne, you have been a Community Manager for MMOs and MMORPGs for 7 years. What has been the most memorable experience with a player over the years?
Oh, that was a few years ago on the server. I wanted to start a little chat with the players when one of them asked who I was. I was still relatively new in the job, and it must be said that the CMs in the game wear a special outfit and thus visually stand out a bit.
I explained to the player that I was the Community Manager and just wanted to chat a little to see what the atmosphere was like and to actively gather feedback.
The player could hardly believe that the CM was personally present on the server and that one could actually write to him/her. He immediately informed his guild and friends, so that within minutes many players appeared.
Fiesta Online: 10th Anniversary Event
At first, I felt a little overwhelmed since I was still quite new in the job, but after a few shock seconds, I felt completely at ease. He was so impressed by something that was completely normal to me.
One of the main tasks of a Community Manager is to communicate with the players. It was nice to see that we can receive so much positive feedback from one aspect of our work.
It is hopeless to explain to my mother what I actually do
If someone asks you, who is not from the industry, how do you explain your job to them?
That’s not so easy. I have tried several times with my mother, but she is not from the gaming industry, so the endeavor is hopeless.
Overall, one can say that I deal with caring for the players of the respective community. So event planning and execution, creating and posting announcements, entertaining and maintaining our social media channels, managing our volunteers, and communication between company and community are among the core tasks.
This is how you become a Community Manager
I can imagine that there are many career changers among Community Managers. How was it for you? How did you become aware of the job and what qualifications were important to get the job?
I am also a career changer. I have a completely different education and came to this job almost through my hobby. I came to Last Chaos through a friend back then and started playing online.
At some point, I ran into a GameMaster, whom I of course interrogated out of curiosity at first. Shortly after, I applied as well and wanted to help voluntarily alongside my job and family. This gave me good insight into the gaming industry and all the work that comes with a game.
Eventually, a Community Manager for Last Chaos was actively sought, and I simply applied. I thought I might as well give it a try. And it worked.
If you have an affinity for games, like to communicate verbally and in writing, and are also creative, eager to learn, and willing to learn, you have a solid basic toolset for a CM.
Do Community Managers gossip about players?
Do you actually talk among colleagues during lunch about what you’ve experienced with players, gossip a little or praise them?
Not just during lunch breaks. We have regular meetings in Community Management where we exchange ideas. Experiences are shared, problems discussed, and occasionally we also swap funny anecdotes.
You manage Fiesta Online, a game that has been around for several years. How has the community of the game changed over the years?
You should ask the responsible CM for Fiesta. I do not actively manage it, but I have learned in the last 7 years at gamigo that a lot changes in an online game over such a long period.
The community grows with you, and the expectations of the team and the game increase. It’s like in any relationship or friendship. The longer it lasts, the more effort must be made to maintain it. But you know each other quite well, you can estimate both the CM and the community on how they will react to new patches, features, or criticism.
What difficulties arise with an MMO that has been around for 10 years?
It’s hard to surprise the community. They have experienced a lot and seen everything. Therefore, you have to think up a lot or take completely new paths to excite them.
So, with Last Chaos, the “weekly challenges” were created, or Fiesta Online Puzzles during maintenance. The development of new content also becomes more difficult over time, as the game already has many things, and you do not want to bring a rehash of something old.
How does your work differ with an older game compared to a new one?
With a new game, the game draws attention by itself. It’s new, it’s exciting, you want to jump in and play. The Community Management accompanies and entertains, and is there for questions, but you do not get so many. In older games, Community Management is more demanded.
The inquiries increase, you get many improvement requests or also questions about when the game will be closed. You have to face many more uncomfortable questions.
I remember the first cast patch in Last Chaos, which caused real uprisings. In the end, we (the players and the team) managed to find a compromise for this sensitive topic. Those are real challenges for everyone involved.
How much influence do German players have on Asia MMORPGs?
When you say you receive many uncomfortable questions and requests for improvement. To what extent can you, as Community Managers, pass on the inquiries of German players to the developers? They sit in South Korea, right? Players probably feel that as “foreigners” it’s hard to be heard.
We pass on the feedback, the questions, the criticism, and everything we receive from the community to our product manager. The product manager is in charge of communication with the developer. At the end of the day, we all want the same thing. We want to enjoy the game for a long time. That’s also in the interest of the developers – yet they are the ones who ultimately decide what happens with the product and where the development of the game goes.
It can happen that a player wishes for something that looks great at first glance, but that interferes with the mechanics of another feature or disturbs a game element that has been deliberately and for good reason designed that way by the developers. Then there can also be a negative response.
Echo of Soul
Every MMORPG attracts different players
Do you feel that the different games also attract different player types? Is the atmosphere different from game to game?
Absolutely. One chooses a game that suits them. For instance, a Last Chaos player might find Twin Saga too colorful, or a Shaiya player might not feel at home in Fiesta Online, etc. The atmosphere is not the same everywhere.
Every community has its peculiarities, which makes the job of the Community Manager exciting and varied. Regum Online, for example, has a much rougher tone among each other than Fiesta Online, due to the realm vs realm mechanics. That’s why we offer a large portfolio. So every gamer can find their game.
Gamigo, or previously Aeria Games, have had to endure harsh criticism for the cash shop orientation of the games. How do you deal with such criticism when it arises in forums?
Aeria Games now belongs to gamigo group, but they still keep the same name.
Dealing with criticism is a very challenging area in our job. I personally like to engage with players and try to follow the path of open and good communication. That’s not always straightforward.
Occasionally, you also have to cut off a discussion when it becomes unobjective and personal.
Where do you draw the line with criticism? When do you terminate a conversation?
It must be constructive and contain substance. That’s easier said than done. For example, you can’t do much with: “Just fix the bugs!” Yes, we all wish for bug-free games, but how realistic is that?
Especially with online role-playing games that have been running for several years, or in the case of Fiesta Online and Last Chaos, over a decade, some issues simply come with the territory. For me, it is therefore important to know which error we should deal with first, as it bothers you a lot or even hinders your gameplay?
I cut off a conversation when we come to no conclusion or it becomes insulting. If we spin in circles for several minutes or I simply do not get answers that I need to understand the criticism after multiple inquiries.
Fiesta Online
Do you also think about your own future as an MMO gets older? Do you look out for new games you can manage?
Yes and no. On one hand, the job isn’t bound to a game. You are a Community Manager for gamigo, not for Fiesta or Shaiya. On the other hand, you can become attached to your community, know the game, and personally do not want it to be shut down.
However, new games are always looked at. You must keep an eye on the competition.
In the Ultimate Team mode of FIFA 19, there are now new player cards whose values are based on the results of the respective teams and players in the Champions & Europa League. From a German perspective, Jonathan Tah is highlighted.
The event is called EA Road to the Final (RTF), the path to the final, with the cards based on the performance of the team and the players in the respective Champions and Europa League matches.
Road to the Final – Who wins gets a better card
When do the cards get an upgrade? Each RTF player starts with an Inform upgrade. This is already a boost for all attributes.
For each additional game won by a team, the corresponding player receives an upgrade. In total, each RTF player can receive up to seven boosts, up to the final. Besides the first, these further boosts can follow:
K.O. Round
Round of 16
Quarterfinals
Semifinals
Final
Win in the Final
The extent to which a player is upgraded is based on the normal Inform upgrades, which are also available in the Team of the Week.
How to get the RTF cards: The special RTF cards are available for a limited time in all FUT Packs.
In total, there are 21 cards, 4 of which will be available in Squad Building Challenges.
These are the starting eleven of the RTF team:
ST: Sergio Agüero (Manchester City)
ST: Antoine Griezmann (Atlético Madrid)
IV: Gerard Piqué (FC Barcelona)
ZM: Marek Hamšík (SSC Napoli)
LF: Alexis Sánchez (Manchester United)
LM: Ivan Perišić (Inter Milan)
ZOM: Nabil Fekir (Olympique Lyon)
RF: Raheem Sterling (Manchester City)
CB: Davinson Sánchez Mina (Tottenham Hotspur)
LV: Alex Telles (Porto FC)
ZDM: Fabinho (Liverpool FC)
These are the substitutes of the RTF team:
GK: Ralf Fährmann (FC Schalke 04)
RB: Alessandro Florenzi (AS Roma)
CM: Renato Sanches (Bayern Munich)
ZOM: Jesse Lingard (Manchester United)
ST: Maximilian Philipp (Borussia Dortmund)
This is the RTF card for the UEFA Europa League:
Jonathan Tah (Bayer Leverkusen)
Does a player need to have played to receive an upgrade? No, the team just needs to reach the respective rounds.
If the team of an RTF player finishes the group stage in third place and thus lands in the Europa League, his card will turn into a corresponding EL card, without upgrade. If they then win in the knockout rounds, there are again further upgrades.
It may take several hours in the game before the upgrade is visible. So don’t worry if your player’s team wins, but the player does not receive an upgrade immediately.
With Forsaken, Bungie has introduced new exotic armor pieces to Destiny 2 that can significantly ease the gameplay. We take a look at the best exotic armors for Hunters, Titans, and Warlocks that you can find since Forsaken.
New exotic armors with Forsaken:A total of twelve new armor pieces can be found by Guardians since the launch of the major autumn expansion Forsaken. Unfortunately, these coveted armor pieces are so rare that only a few players have had the chance to try them out.
Have you been lucky and found a new Exotic from Forsaken but don’t know what to do with it? We provide you with recommendations for each class on which Exotics to look out for and how to use them in detail.
[toc]
The best exotic armors of the Titan
The Titan has turned into a superhero with Forsaken: Whether as Thor (Solar focus), Superman (Arc focus), or Captain America (Void focus), the Titan is still responsible for the “rough” stuff. He plunges into enemy hordes and mows down everything that comes in his way.
Even before Forsaken, the Titan had some strong Exotics to choose from. With the new expansion, you have access to even more fantastic toys.
The Heart of Inmost Light – Chest Armor
This is what the Heart of Inmost Light can do: This exotic chest armor massively increases your damage output if used correctly. This gem ensures that when you use an ability, the other two abilities regenerate faster and are also boosted for about 9 seconds. This means in detail:
A boosted grenade deals about 30% more damage and regenerates 75% faster
A boosted melee attack deals about 17% more damage and also regenerates 75% faster
A boosted barricade has significantly more hit points and regenerates 75% faster
Furthermore, if used skillfully, the buff can stack up to 3 times. A double-boosted grenade then deals 69% more damage! You also get the buff when you use a non-charged melee attack.
This means you can keep the buff from the Heart of Inmost Light active permanently and therefore deal more damage all the time. Your ability regeneration is also permanently increased by 75%.
Think that’s all? No! You receive the buff from the chest armor even when using your super abilities:
The upper and lower talent tree of the Striker can trigger the buff with a melee attack
The Sentinel can generate the buff with all talent trees. Shield throw does not work
The Solar Titan can only benefit from the buff in the upper talent tree
Which focus is the Heart of Inmost Light suitable for? A significant advantage of this chest armor is that you can play it with all Titan subclasses. You are particularly effective with the following talent trees:
The upper talent tree of the Striker offers you two grenades at once for massive damage output. The shoulder charge also gives you grenade energy back faster. Combine that with the Heart of Inmost Light and you have a nearly divine combo.
The lower talent tree of the Solar Titan benefits greatly from the improved regeneration of the chest armor in combination with Sunspots.
The Sentinel also has fitting abilities in the middle talent tree for the armor.
Is the Heart of Inmost Light also suitable for the Crucible? Absolutely! The Striker’s flash grenade deals 150 damage points. If the buff from the chest armor is active, it’s already 195, resulting in an instant kill on all Guardians with resilience under 5. The increased ability regeneration also allows you to use this more frequently.
Ursa Furiosa – Gloves
This is what the exotic gloves Ursa Furiosa can do: If you’ve unlocked the new focus of the Sentinel class “Code of the Commander,” you should take a look at this exotic armor piece. For with active super and activated shield, you move faster.
However, the second effect of these gloves is much more crucial. For you regenerate super energy when fired upon your shield. In games against AI opponents, the effect is at best okay, but in the Crucible, you can drive your opponents to despair with these gloves.
This means that two shots from a shotgun on your shield are enough to completely recharge your super. In the weeks following the Forsaken release, voices grew louder demanding the banishment of Ursa Furiosa from the Crucible.
Okay in PvE, “broken” in PvP: It may seem strange that the gloves do not restore super energy nearly as effectively in AI matches as they do in the Crucible. Whether it is a bug is unknown. Bungie has not commented on this so far.
However, there are numerous reports from Guardians who were able to use their super three to four times in a row, just because opponents shot at their shield.
The tactic in the Crucible: “Don’t shoot, run!” Do you see a Sentinel Titan activating his super? Just run away. The shield absorbs practically everything—be it rockets, projectiles, or enemy super attacks. You can reduce the effectiveness of the gloves by not shooting a Sentinel Titan as long as his shield is up.
If you use the Ursa Furiosa gloves yourself, switch from shield throw mode to shield mode as soon as you are shot at. This can be done in fractions of a second and is extremely effective.
Which focus are the Ursa Furiosa suitable for? The gloves only make sense with a Sentinel Titan in conjunction with the Code of the Commander.
Are you looking for white Arabians or other great horses in Red Dead Redemption 2? They appear here repeatedly. A paradise for horse lovers.
If you visit the city of Saint Denis in Red Dead Redemption 2, you should stop at a very special location. At a stable, new horses spawn magically over and over, including white Arabians and other special breeds.
Visit this location to upgrade your collection with the best horses.
Here spawn all horses in Saint Denis
In Red Dead Redemption 2, there are various horses. Some are well-suited for high speeds over long distances. Others are incredibly durable. Some combine both traits.
That’s why it takes time to discover the right horse in RDR 2.
What’s new?Reddit users are now reporting a special location in Saint Denis where new horses spawn regularly. Sometimes even the best in the game.
Where is the location? You can find the location in the north of Saint Denis. We have marked the exact point on the map for you.
How does this spawn work? Only one horse appears at this spot at a time. If you save before and then reload your save file, a new horse will be there.
Instructions: The Reddit user Cerusia pointed out this special location in Saint Denis. He writes that you should save your game nearby and then exit RDR 2. When you restart RDR 2 and load this save file, a new horse will be at the stable.
Players are excited: In the comments of the Reddit thread, players thank the creator. User moistwettie writes, “It works. With this method, I got the rose grey Arabian, which has the best base stats of the Arabians. I also got the tiger striped brown Mustang. I thought it was only available in Epilogue 2.”
User TurkeyMoonPie also confirms that this location spawns special horses. He theorizes that it depends on the time of day when which horses spawn. Arabians in the early morning and Missouri Foxtrotters around noon.
The official beta of Black Desert on Xbox One has started! Players can enjoy the sandbox MMORPG on the console and test the game mechanics. We show you how.
Fans of Black Desert have been waiting for the beta launch on Xbox One for a while. However, those who want to participate in the beta need to overcome a few hurdles.
Update of 11/12/2018: The beta on Xbox One has ended.
How to Play the Beta
Beta only in English: According to the official announcement on the Black Desert Xbox website, only players whose consoles are set to “North America Region” can participate. Luckily, the region settings can be changed on the Xbox One.
Change Your Region: Navigate left on the home screen and open the Xbox Guide. Select Settings -> All Settings. Then open the “Language and Location” tab. There you can change the region of your console under “Location”. Then select “US” under Region.
If Black Desert does not appear in the Xbox Store after changing the region, you need to launch the SmartGlass app on your phone or tablet and set the region there to “US” as well. Simply select the option “Use Console Region”. If this method doesn’t work either, add the game to your account via mobile.
Important: Changing your console’s region will also change the available content in the Microsoft Store.
Download the Black Desert Beta on Xbox
Download via Xbox Store: Open the Xbox Store on your Xbox One after you have changed the region settings and search for “Black Desert.” You can then download the game. The download is 24 GB in size.
Once the game has been added to your library, you should restart the console. To play the beta, you do not need to register, just download and start the game.
The beta is free. However, you need an active Xbox Live Gold membership to start Black Desert on Xbox. The language of the beta is English.
Duration of the Beta: The beta is playable from 11/8 to 11/12/2018 at 9:59 PM our time.
Can I play the beta on PS4/Switch? Currently, Black Desert is only playable on Xbox One. A version for the PS4 is at least planned. However, it is supposed to be released after the Xbox launch.
Can I keep my progress? Created characters and their levels will be deleted after the beta ends. However, you will receive character cards for playing the beta, which you can exchange for items. If you fully “fill” the character cards to 100%, you will receive items when Black Desert officially launches on Xbox One.

In the Steam hit Scum, retractable penises have now been added. However, they caused some bugs. A hotfix has resolved those issues – such penis bugs do not align with the developers’ desire for realism.
The purely male character types in Scum can sacrifice values like stamina or strength during character creation and prefer to add extra centimeters to their genitalia:
The minimum was 2.5 centimeters
The standard was 10 centimeters
The maximum was a whopping 20 centimeters
Founders received a bonus of 5 centimeters
Just don’t get disturbed while peeing
Here were the penis bugs: As often happens with complex game systems, not everything went smoothly. There were three penis bugs, as PC Gamer reports.
One bug caused the penis to grow longer with each login
A glitch caused the hands to become stuck to the genitals if the player was disturbed while urinating
And another bug made it possible to enlarge the penis without sacrificing values as was intended
For several days now, Adventure Sync has been available in Pokémon GO. This feature has a nice side effect: it saves players’ phone battery.
What is Adventure Sync? This new fitness feature counts the steps for all Pokémon GO players. Even when the app is closed, eggs can hatch and candies can be earned. At the end of the week, trainers can receive rewards if they reach certain fitness goals.
However, the new feature also has another significant advantage for Pokémon trainers: it reduces battery consumption.
Adventure Sync runs in the background
The old problem of Pokémon GO: Pokémon GO was not exactly known for being battery-friendly. One could play Pokémon for one or two hours and had to charge their phone immediately.
The power bank became the players’ new best friend. With Adventure Sync, however, one can now save battery.
The app can be closed: The advantage of Adventure Sync is the function that it can count steps in the background, even when the app is closed.
Therefore, little battery has to be consumed, as neither the app needs to be open nor the screen needs to be on.
How does it work? Adventure Sync relies on the fitness apps “Google Fit” (on Android) or “HealthKit” (on iOS). These count the steps taken in the background. With the help of GPS data, it is then determined how many kilometers have been covered.
With this function, the following actions can be performed with the app closed:
Hatch eggs
Earn candies with your buddy
Collect kilometers for fitness goals
Here you can make the most of Adventure Sync
Because you do not have to operate the phone, you can use Adventure Sync in various ways.
At work
Previously, many trainers would stop playing Pokémon GO when they went to work. However, now they can make progress even then, without looking at the screen. Especially those who have to walk a lot for their job can easily hatch eggs or earn candies with their buddy in the meantime.
While exercising
Those who enjoy jogging in their free time can hatch eggs endlessly with the help of Adventure Sync. Another advantage is that the kilometers now count even when using fitness machines. On Reddit, a user reported that the kilometers covered on the treadmill were credited to Pokémon GO via Adventure Sync.
Using Pokémon GO in everyday life: One goal of Niantic was to integrate Pokémon GO into everyday life. With Adventure Sync, a big step has been made. Now, one can make progress in Pokémon GO in almost any situation, even if they are not actively playing it.
In Fortnite, players are calling for the return of the “Double Pump” strategy. A developer has now responded to a fan request, but things do not look good for this play style.
Fans want Double Pump back: In a conversation on Twitter, a fan makes it clear that they wish Epic would bring back the “Double Shotgun.”
He is not alone. Many fans want this “old play style” back, which was popular until April 2018.
This is how Epic reacts: Fortnite developer Sean Hamilton has given a clear rejection – at least for the moment. The Community Coordinator states that there are no current plans to bring back the Double Shotgun.
Double Pump – Tactic from Another Time
This is the Double Pump: For months, shotguns, particularly pump shotguns, were popular in Fortnite. This was mainly due to a specific tactic, the “Double Pump.” Players collected multiple shotguns, then:
they shot with one shotgun
held down the fire button
and quickly switched to the second shotgun and shot again, almost without a delay
This made it possible to bridge the long reload time of a shotgun and deal massive damage in a short time.
Double Shotgun Led to Exciting, Fast Gameplay
This was the gameplay back then: The “Double Pump” led to an aggressive playstyle in Fortnite. Players sought close combat in Fortnite and were constantly jumping. They fired two or more shotguns, took down opponents, and then jumped again.
This playstyle resulted in rapid gameplay and fast duels.
This is how it ended: It quickly became clear that the Double Pump was becoming dominant and was not a playstyle that the developers at Epic particularly liked.
Epic lingered on the issue for a while. With Update 3.0, they restricted the easy use of the “Double Pump” tactic, but top players were still able to utilize the Double Pump in February 2018.
This is how it would be today: If one wishes to apply the “Double Pump” tactic today, it takes a while for the second shot to come, as the character must first ready the weapon.
This delay makes the Double Pump no longer usable. In any case, shotguns have fallen significantly out of favor with players.
The shotgun nerf has many effects: After the shotgun was nerfed, other playstyles came to the forefront. Especially building became extremely important until it also fell under Epic’s scrutiny and was countered with new changes.
This is what it’s about: The desire for the “Double Pump” reflects a dissatisfaction with the new playstyle in Fortnite. SMGs have now become dominant, so strong that they could dismantle buildings.
A bug seems to be lurking in Destiny 2: Several players are reporting that the super rare quest for the weapon Malfeasance is suddenly no longer in their inventory. Other weapon quests also seem to be affected.
Imagine you battle through hundreds of Gambit matches until you finally get the quest for the weapon Malfeasance, and then, one day, the quest is no longer in your inventory. This seems to be happening to some Guardians who are complaining about their loss on Reddit and in the Bungie forum.
The quests for Redrix’s Claymore and Luna’s Howl also seem to vanish into thin air.
Players lose Malfeasance quest
This has happened: Reports from players on the Destiny subreddit and the Bungie forum are currently piling up, stating they have received the rare Malfeasance quest. Some had even begun working on the requirements for the quest.
But suddenly, the quest was no longer in their inventory. And the Drifter is not giving the quest back either.
And players working on Redrix’s Claymore and Luna’s Howl in PvP also seem to be affected by this bug. One Guardian writes that he was already at the fourth step of the Redrix quest and had reset his rank four times, which is now for naught.
Guardians wait for Bungie: Players are sharing their experiences in the respective threads and are now waiting for Bungie to address the issue. However, very few have hope that they will get their quests and quest steps back.
One player writes that Bungie maintains a strict “No Restorations” policy. Thus, he can hardly imagine that they would make an exception for these quests.
What you need to do for Malfeasance, Redrix, and Luna
These quests are about: Many players report that they have lost the quest for the weapon Malfeasance. A few Guardians are also affected by the tasks for the two PvP weapons Redrix’s Claymore and Luna’s Howl.
What you need to do for Malfeasance: Losing the Malfeasance quest is particularly bitter because to obtain the quest, you need happenstance and a large dose of luck on your side.
For Malfeasance, which is the weapon’s name in the original English, you need to enter Gambit. If you’re lucky, you’ll randomly summon a special Ahamkara that Guardians have affectionately named “Meatball”.
Fallout 76 will receive a patch on release. The Day-1 patch will be substantial and will require more storage space than the game itself.
When does Fallout 76 release? On November 14, it is the release day of Fallout 76. Prior to that, players can already download a Day-1 patch.
Some of you might need to make space for it, as the Day-1 patch will be huge and will take up even more storage space than the main game itself.
Fallout 76 will be a chunk on your hard drive
This is how much storage you will need for Fallout 76: The main game itself will be around 45 GB in size. This size is also the same as the beta of Fallout 76. While your progress from the beta will carry over, you will still need to reinstall the game on PS4 and Xbox One. PC players only need to download a small patch.
Together with the Day-1 patch, that brings the size to about 55 GB. Overall, you will need nearly 100 GB of storage space for Fallout 76 including the patch. We will only have precise numbers on that once the pre-load for PC and PS4 starts. Fallout 76 can already be downloaded on Xbox One.
What does the patch change? There are no exact details yet. Presumably, it will involve bug fixes and performance optimizations, as in the beta patch.
This is already the second 100 GB chunk in a short time, as Red Dead Redemption 2 was released on October 26. The open-world giant also requires over 100 GB of hard drive space. However, the game did not even require a patch, RDR2 was delivered with two Blu-Ray discs right from the start.
If you constantly have full pockets in Red Dead Redemption 2, you need an upgrade. With a little work, the Legend of the East Satchel awaits you, providing you with 99 storage slots for all items.
Red Dead Redemption 2 places a lot of emphasis on gathering resources and crafting. However, you also need a lot of space in your pockets. Pearson, the camp cook in your camp, will gladly craft new satchels for you.
Once you’ve invested some effort, the Legend of the East Satchel, which promises 99 storage slots for all items, awaits!
How to get the Legend of the East Satchel
This is what you need for leatherworking: In order for Pearson to start leatherworking, you first need to donate the leatherworking tools to him. You can obtain this through the ledger in camp, where you also upgrade the camp.
The tools cost you 180 dollars and allow Pearson to craft some cosmetic items in addition to the satchels.
While you can exchange meat and other items with other traders for cash, you should always hand in animal pelts to Pearson. If they are of good or perfect quality, he can craft equipment, cosmetic items, and satchels from them.
Each individual satchel doubles the carry slots for individual items. With the basic satchels, you have five satchel slots each, whereas with the new satchels, you have ten satchel slots.
The last satchel, the Legend of the East, increases your satchel slots for all items to 99.
We will list all the satchels, their requirements, and materials here for you.

A screenshot from BlizzCon caused quite a stir among fans of World of Warcraft. Especially priests were wide-eyed.
BlizzCon 2018 was full of new announcements surrounding World of Warcraft. However, a small detail wasn’t discussed in depth, yet it drew the attention of the fan community.
During the “What’s Next?” panel, the upcoming patches and story content of Battle for Azeroth were discussed. On a slide from the presentation, players discovered a detail that caused confusion and excitement.
What was seen? When Jeremy Feasel announced that the upcoming patches would also cover the stories of key characters like Sylvanas, a picture of Sylvanas was shown.
There she wasn’t holding her bow in her hands, but instead an intricately decorated dagger, which shadow priests might recognize: The blade Xal’atath.
Sylvanas holding Xal’atath in her hands.
What is Xal’atath? In Legion, Xal’atath was the artifact weapon of the shadow priests. It constantly whispered promises and secrets to the player and is known for eventually leaving its bearer or driving them insane. At the end of Legion, Xal’atath, along with all other artifact weapons, was sacrificed for the cleansing of the Sword of Sargeras.
What Xal’atath actually is remains somewhat unclear. It is suspected (and hinted through the story) that Xal’atath is a rather weak Old God, who was destroyed early by the other Old Gods during the Black Empire and then imprisoned in the blade.
However, Xal’atath disappeared without a trace after the cleansing of the Sword of Sargeras and only reappears in the upcoming Patch 8.1. Here, players can help Xal’atath gain more power and ultimately escape from the dagger to take on a physical form.
How exactly this quest will unfold remains uncertain, as data miners have only connected a few hints about it so far.
Speculations about Xal’atath in Sylvanas’ hands
Why Sylvanas wields the former blade of the shadow priests is still uncertain, but it leaves much room for speculation and theories, some of which we want to address:
A prison for an Old God
One of the currently most common theories is that the dagger, in which Xal’atath resided, is such a powerful relic that it can contain an Old God. Therefore, Xal’atath was in the blade. The other Old Gods (C’thun, Y’shaarj, Yogg-Saron or N’Zoth) imprisoned Xal’atath in the blade after Xal’atath lost a battle.
This is supported by Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance. After players help Xal’atath regain power, she directly appeals to N’Zoth, asking him to “release the last seal” and free her from the dagger – which indeed happens. Xal’atath gets a physical body, and the blade is left behind.
In some way, the blade finds its way to Sylvanas, who then uses it as a weapon. This would give Sylvanas a weapon capable of capturing and neutralizing the essence of an Old God.
Perhaps the dagger will play a significant role in how N’Zoth is defeated in later patches (possibly Patch 8.3 or 8.4).
This would also explain why the Void thinks so little of Sylvanas and why Alleria strongly urged her to kill Sylvanas in the comic “Three Sisters”. The Void knows all possible variations of the future and has likely seen some where Sylvanas emerges victorious over the Old Gods.
Xal’atath devours everything
Also interesting is the second theory that N’Zoth is not the real problem of Battle for Azeroth, but Xal’atath herself. After all, players ensure that Xal’atath has her own body and can roam freely in the world in Patch 8.1 – something that the other Old Gods cannot do, as they are firmly anchored in the crust of Azeroth.
Here some of her whispers from Legion return to play. There she said:
“We could encounter my brothers in this conflict. I even hope for it. Their power will belong to me. They will pay for what they once did to me.”
With “brothers”, Xal’atath is clearly referring to the other Old Gods and still plans to devour them to emerge victorious. At the same time, this whisper almost confirms that Xal’atath was defeated and imprisoned by the other Old Gods.
However, even more interesting is a second quote from Legion:
“What irony that the weakest among us might be the victor. C’thun, Yogg-Saron, Y’shaarj and … well. Only one will remain to devour the world. So it was always intended.”
Back then, it was believed that Xal’atath was referring to N’Zoth, the last of the known remaining Old Gods. But in light of the current story, Xal’atath might be speaking of someone else: herself.
After all, it was Xal’atath who was defeated first and thus counts as the “weakest” of the Old Gods. However, since she has been trapped in the blade, she has gathered more and more power, in Legion alone through the priest in large amounts. We consumed powerful creatures of the Old Gods for her and even gave her access to the Pantheon of Titans on Argus, for which “our glorious deeds will never be forgotten”.
As a shadow priest, I can only say: I’m really looking forward to the resolution of this story. I think it’s really cool that our “knife” Xal’atath plays such an important role.
What do you think, how will the story of Sylvanas and Xal’atath continue?

The online survival game Fallout 76 is about to launch. A three-hour stream featuring star streamer Ninja, the comic characters Rick and Morty, and rapper Logic just aired on Twitch. Reactions have been mixed.
Last night, there was a three-hour live stream of Fallout 76 with a bizarre cast during our sleepy night hours. We summarize reactions and show you clips.
Rapper Logic: He has been in the music business since 2009 and was nominated for two Grammys in 2018.
Justin Roiland: The actor, designer, author, and director voiced the cartoon characters Rick and Morty during the stream, who were visible on screen. The two are the stars of a sci-fi comedy series with a unique humor that enjoys cult status.
Bad reactions in the Twitch chat
Eurogamer criticizes technical issues: The site Eurogamer describes it as a “cringe-fest,” meaning a constant sense of secondhand embarrassment, albeit with hints of humor.
The stream was set up so that Roiland controlled the character “DarkWebFlurbos,” who was at a higher level and modeled after the character Rick. Most of the time, this character was the focus of the stream. Ninja and Logic had low-level characters and tended to stay together.
Rick and Morty aimed to “see the bombs drop.” By the end of the stream, they accomplished this, with Rick walking toward the detonation with open arms as another player activated the nuclear bomb.
Eurogamer notes that the three streamers struggled to find a shared chemistry. They had difficulty interacting with each other and responding to what others were saying and doing.
The Twitch chat was full of insults aimed at the streamers and Fallout 76 throughout the entire stream.
Eurogamer mentions many technical difficulties that further disrupted the pacing of the stream. There were crashes that led to long delays. For 10 minutes, there was an overlay issue as well. This is what the stream looked like:
Eurogamer further states that the issues were compounded by the fact that the stream took place on the Xbox One, causing framerate problems. This was also noted and criticized by the Twitch chat.
By the end of the three-hour stream, Rick and Morty had simply glitched out of the screen while Ninja and Logic were cut off mid-sentence.
Main criticism point: Chemistry is lacking
Kotaku points out lack of chemistry: The US site Kotaku strikes a similar note. Here, too, criticism is directed at the lack of cohesion among the individual parts of the stream.
Rick and Morty intended to be funny, but would have struggled to break through with their impro-comedy. Especially since Ninja and Logic did not engage with their jokes. Moreover, Rick and Morty without screenwriters often missed the mark.
In this clip, Rick urges the other streamers to run around naked and only use their fists. However, Ninja talks about another player who is chasing them. Logic has problems with his seating arrangement.

Additionally, Logic seemed to have some difficulties getting along with the game. Loic seemed to be talking more about his chair, breathing, or other things.
Kotaku also notes the negative comments in the Twitch chat but admits that the stream had a few highlights. For instance, Morty recounts that he once woke up at night because Rick was hiding under his bed and constantly burping.

According to Kotaku, one can understand how the combination of Ninja, Logic, Rick, and Morty would look fantastic to a PR team. However, in practice, one must also ensure that the ingredients fit together; otherwise, it could be a mess.
What reddit says: On reddit people especially complain that Bethesda brings in a “foreign streamer” like Ninja to feature Fallout 76. He probably wouldn’t play the game later anyway. PR chose Ninja just to reach his community and get them excited about Fallout 76.
People would have preferred streamers from the Bethesda community.
Today, on November 10th, the Community Day in Pokémon GO is happening! Take this unique opportunity to catch Shiny Cyndaquil.
Today’s Community Day revolves around the Fire starter Cyndaquil. Players can use a Star Piece to gain six times the Stardust for catching Pokémon. Four times the experience points for catching Pokémon are possible with a Lucky Egg.
When does the Community Day start? The Community Day runs today from 11 AM for three hours, ending at 2 PM. Players will then have an additional hour to evolve a Typhlosion with Overheat.
First Shiny Catches of the Community Day in November
In Asia and Australia, the Community Day took place earlier this night. Trainers were excited about the huge amount of Stardust and many shiny Cyndaquil.
On Reddit, “Vinsanity9“, a player from New Zealand, shared one of the first caught shiny Cyndaquil.
High Shiny Rate: As with every Community Day, the chance of a shiny Cyndaquil is increased today. It is approximately 1 in 25, as is the case with every Community Day. All information about this special event can be found in our guide:
Server Issues: During the Community Day in Asia and Australia, many players reported server issues and had trouble getting into the game. The Pokémon GO team apologized for this on Twitter and extended the Community Day in those regions by two hours. The server issues were then resolved. Here in Germany, players can also play without any problems again.
On Twitter, many players thanked the team and shared pictures of their shiny catches as tweets.
Are you excited for the Community Day with Cyndaquil?
In The Division today, on November 10, the next vendor reset is happening. We present to you the new items from the vendors that are particularly worthwhile this week.
The new offer from the vendors of The Division is here. Every week, the vendor reset takes place on Friday night to Saturday, and now there’s a new selection of gear for players.
What else November brings for The Division, we have summarized for you here. In addition to another shield, there will also be a global event and new information about The Division 2.
Recommended Weapons since November 10
Special Equipment Vendor: Historian with Balanced, Prepared, and History Repeats. Not one of the meta weapons, but if you wanted to try it out, it’s a good choice. Replace Balanced with Destructive, then you have a solid PvE weapon. Also, another exotic piece of equipment for the upcoming shield.
Camp Clinton: Pakhan with Prepared, Competent, and Pakhan. If you need a good PvE LMG for electronics builds, this could be a good starting point. It’s not the best choice, but it gets the job done until you have something better. Prepared is unnecessary here, choose instead Talented or, if you can unlock it, Determined.
DZ Park Ave: AUG A3 Para XS with Precise, Talented, and Determined. A better choice for your electronics builds is this submachine gun. With the combination of Talented and Determined, you significantly reduce your cooldown with kills. Precise is unnecessary in this case, Competent is the best choice here.
DZ Park Ave: SVD Paratrooper Version with Prepared, Balanced, and Disciplin. One of the best precision rifles with good talents. You should replace Disciplin with Increased or Malicious.
That players sometimes lose interest in Overwatch happens from time to time. However, they often come back. Overwatch chief Jeff Kaplan explains in an interview what Overwatch is doing to ensure that this remains the case.
What to do when Overwatch becomes boring? Surely it has happened to you that Overwatch was left aside for a while or even uninstalled. However, the developers are doing many things to win you back.
Overwatch should remain exciting
It is normal for players to leave: Jeff Kaplan from the Overwatch team talked in an interview with the US site Kotaku about why players stop playing Overwatch and how to bring them back.
Through new features like Recognition and Group Search or the upcoming Spectator Mode, interest should be maintained. According to Kaplan, it is also quite normal for players to stop playing Overwatch temporarily:
I always think about what kind of game Overwatch is: a competitive 6v6 action shooter. It is the kind of game where players come and go. I think that is natural. It is good for the players and it is good for us when players do not get lost and only play Overwatch.
Only when players stop playing Overwatch for an indefinite time or even permanently do alarm bells ring for Kaplan. The team keeps such situations “on the radar” and wonders what it can do better.
What to do when players leave? If players permanently stop playing Overwatch, the team first asks itself some questions:
If the answer to any of these questions is “No”, then the team prepares to work on it. In some situations, it is also just natural for fans to stay away for a while, as with new games. Kaplan:
I think players sometimes panic when they hear “Oh, all my friends are playing Call of Duty this month,” or something like that. That is OK. Call of Duty is brand new and it’s great. We play it too. And then we come back and do our placements in Overwatch.
The most recently added map: Busan.
Criticism must be taken seriously: According to Kaplan, an important point is that the team also pays attention to criticism. During the development of the new hero Ashe, this was one of the reasons she became the hero she is.
The community often complained that the current heroes play too much with crowd control and that this robs the game of fun. This has been particularly the case since the release of Brigitte.
After their own review, the team agrees with the criticism and is careful not to let it get worse. There will not be major reworks on heroes for this reason, as these could have other impacts.
Instead, Overwatch heroes like Doomfist will be adjusted, which contribute to this problem. When developing new content, like with Ashe, care will be taken to ensure that it does not also become part of the problem.
The “aces up your sleeve”: The Overwatch team has focused heavily on improving balance and bringing in new content this year.
Recurring events like the recently ended Halloween Horror or the upcoming Winter Wonderland have gone a bit unnoticed. Some fans have complained about this, as events are a reason for many to check back into Overwatch.
However, Kaplan advises players to look forward to the upcoming event. Some “pretty cool” things are coming:
We have a few aces up our sleeve for next year, and I think they are pretty cool. When they come, players will say: “Oh, now I understand what you did.” We just try not to talk too early about such things.
What do you think? Do you also take breaks and then come back to Overwatch? If you’re looking for teammates, check out our Overwatch group and visit us on Facebook for the latest updates on Overwatch.
Today marks the Community Day in November in Pokémon GO. Many bonuses await you on the Cyndaquil Day.
What are Community Days? For several months now, Niantic has been hosting the Community Day once a month. Each Community Day focuses on a special Pokémon. This Pokémon can be encountered more frequently in the wild and there is also a chance to find its shiny form.
In addition to the Pokémon, there are also other bonuses for players. The last Community Day featured the Pokémon Tanhel.
This November focuses on the Fire Starter Cyndaquil. We will now show you everything you need to know to be well prepared today.
GMT+0 – Start Time and Bonuses for the Community Day in November
What: The Pokémon GO Community Day in November 2018
When: On Saturday, November 10, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM German time (GMT+1)
Pokémon of the Day: Cyndaquil
Exclusive Move: Flamethrower (only Typhlosion)
Bonus: Double the amount of experience points for catching Pokémon
Bonus: Double the amount of stardust for catching Pokémon
Is doubled by the stardust event. So there will be quadruple the amount of stardust for catching monsters
Bonus: 3-hour Lure Modules
Additional Bonus: You can evolve your Quilava into Typhlosion by 3 PM to learn the exclusive move Flamethrower
What does GMT+0 mean? As always, Niantic announced the Community Day at 10 AM GMT+0. However, this is not the German timezone. Our timezone during winter time is GMT+1. Therefore, the Community Day starts as usual at 11 AM German time.
Shiny Cyndaquil, Quilava and Typhlosion
Is there a Shiny Cyndaquil? On Community Days, each event Pokémon could previously be caught in its shiny form. Therefore, it’s also expected that Cyndaquil will appear as a new Shiny in the game in November.
Chance for a Shiny is high: If you play the full three hours of the event, then you can expect to catch a shiny Cyndaquil. You would have to be very unlucky not to catch one. The probability of encountering a shiny Community Day Pokémon during the three hours is 1 in 25.
Typhlosion with Flamethrower – How strong is the move?
How to get Typhlosion to learn Flamethrower? To have your Typhlosion learn the exclusive move Flamethrower, you must evolve it during the Community Day. There is a specific time window for evolutions. This means you can evolve your Quilava until 3 PM so that it knows Flamethrower.
Typhlosion gets stronger: The new move makes Typhlosion stronger. However, it is not as strong as some other Fire Pokémon. So if you want a strong Typhlosion, you should definitely evolve one with Flamethrower.
100% IV Cyndaquil – Max CP for Typhlosion
In this weather, Cyndaquil becomes stronger: As Cyndaquil is a Fire type, you will receive a bonus during sunny weather.
How strong will Typhlosion get? A Typhlosion can reach a maximum CP of 2686. Its stats are identical to those of Charizard. However, Charizard can learn better moves and therefore has the advantage over Typhlosion.
100% IV Cyndaquil in the wild: To make the most of Community Day, catch as many Cyndaquil as possible and evaluate them only in the hour after Community Day. To do this, enter the following list into your search bar in the game and you can see if you caught a possible 100% IV Cyndaquil. Other IV combinations with these values are also possible.
Incense is worth it in areas where not many Pokémon spawn. You additionally attract Pokémon that you can turn into stardust and experience points.
Lure Modules – 3 pieces or more
Coordinate with your gameplay partners and activate Lure Modules at as many PokéStops as possible. This will attract even more Pokémon to you, and you will also increase your chances of catching shiny Cyndaquil. The modules last for three hours, which is another reason to activate as many of them as possible.
Poké, Super and Ultra Balls – at least 200 pieces
Collect enough balls for Community Day ahead of time. During those three hours, Pokémon spawns are increased and you’ll throw a lot of balls. Also, Cyndaquil is a Pokémon that tends to break free. So having a good stock of balls is beneficial.
Pokémon GO Plus – 1x
GO Plus assists you in catching. If you want to take a break, or if you simply feel overwhelmed with Pokémon, use the GO Plus and it will catch Pokémon for you. For the next Community Day, the Pokéball Plus could also be something for you.
Don’t miss any news: To catch up on everything about Pokémon GO, you can join our Facebook group or like our Facebook page about Pokémon GO. Exchange ideas with other trainers about the Community Day there.
Are you looking forward to the Community Day?

Blizzard has announced that Overwatch players will soon need to download the entire game again, even if they have always been patched.
Forum post announces reinstallation: Community Support Drakuloth has posted in the official Overwatch forum stating that Overwatch will soon self-reinstall. The post comes early so that people can prepare for it.
The next Overwatch patch will be “too complex”
Why do I need to reinstall? According to Drakuloth, the next major patch for Overwatch is significant. The changes being made by Blizzard are described as “substantial enough” that they cannot simply be placed over the current structure as a patch.
Instead, Overwatch is to be completely reinstalled. Players do not need to configure anything special. According to Drakuloth, the client will self-download and install Overwatch completely.
On PC, Overwatch is already 25 GB for some players. This size is also due to updates and game files such as saved highlights. For the new download, approximately 14 GB will likely need to be downloaded (roughly the original size).
When will the update arrive? A specific time has not yet been mentioned. According to Drakuloth, the reinstallation will simply come “with the next major patch.”
It is possible that this is already the patch that will introduce the new hero Ashe. Since Ashe is already playable on the Overwatch PTR, the new patch may come in just a few weeks.
Do Xbox and PS4 players also need to reinstall? Drakuloth did not specify exactly which platforms will be subject to the reinstallation. It is therefore assumed that it will affect PC, Xbox, and PS4.
Whether personal settings such as mouse sensitivity or individual key bindings will be reset is not yet known.
