Overwatch fans are known for their creativity. The gaming network TGN wondered how Overwatch would look if played like Dark Souls.
Overwatch – Prepare to DIE DIE DIE Edition: The video features the maps Eichenwalde and Schwarzwald with Brigitte as the knight in the main role. It’s a very fitting setting, especially since there is already a bonfire in Eichenwalde that serves as a nod to Dark Souls.
Brigitte goes through a short adventure, joining the Crusaders and eventually facing a boss. The iconic “YOU DIED” screen from Dark Souls appears frequently.
Throughout the video, the creators have hidden Easter eggs, just as Blizzard likes to do. In the “Prepare to DIE DIE DIE” edition of Overwatch (a nod to Reaper’s ultimate), bonfires can be acknowledged or reported, and “Kaplan’s Patch” is a usable item.
What do you think of the “Prepare to DIE DIE DIE” edition? Would you play Dark Souls in Overwatch style? Let us know in the comments!
Together with the new Field Research in November in Pokémon GO, players get the chance to catch the new Pokémon Ninjatom and a new Shiny.
The new Field Research concerning Ninjatom will be available starting November 1 at 9 PM.
Bug Pokémon: The new Field Research revolves around the “Bug” type. In addition to the Bug Pokémon Ninjatom, players will have the opportunity to obtain other Bug Pokémon from Field Research.
Shiny Raupy: Another highlight will be a new Shiny family. For the first time, Raupy and its evolutions will be available in their shiny form.
Ninjatom in November – And Nincada?
Ninjatom is a Pokémon from Generation 3. It is one of the few Pokémon from this generation that has not yet been released.
Two Evolutions: Ninjatom evolves from the Pokémon Nincada. Nincada can evolve into Ninjatom and into Ninjask.
In the console games, Nincada could only evolve into Ninjatom if the player had a maximum of five Pokémon in the party and carried a Poké Ball. Nincada didn’t actually evolve; instead, Ninjatom came from the shell of Ninjask. How the evolution works in Pokémon GO is not yet known.
Pre-evolution from Field Research? There is speculation in the community that Ninjatom will not be the only new Pokémon in November. It’s possible that players can obtain its pre-evolution Nincada from regular Field Research. This could then evolve into Ninjask. However, this is not confirmed.
Further Field Research concerning Bugs: Along with the research about Ninjatom, surely more Bug Pokémon will be available through quests.
Also Shiny Pinsir? Raupy might not be the only new Shiny in November. Niantic announced a Safari Zone in Taiwan some time ago, where the Bug Pokémon Pinsir is supposed to play a major role. It would make sense for trainers around the world to have the opportunity for a shiny Pinsir. Field Research could make this easier.
Safari Zone in Taiwan
What do you think about the new Research Breakthrough? Are you excited for Ninjatom?
In The Division today, on October 27, the big vendor reset takes place. We present to you the items from the vendors that are particularly worthwhile.
The last days of Blackout, the current Global Event, are running and until October 29 you still have the chance to buy the secret sets DeadEye, Tactician, D3 FNC, and Striker from special containers.
In the meantime, check out the new offerings from the vendors, as the big reset happens every week on Friday night. All vendors will then have a new selection of equipment to offer. These are the best deals.
Recommended Weapons since October 27
Special Equipment Vendor: Navy MP5 N with Determined, Competent, and Precise. Good MP for skill builds. In the third slot, you can roll whatever you need for your build. Malevolent, Receptive, Destroyer, and Deadly are the best options.
E 31st St: Improved AUG A3P with Destroyer, Malevolent, and Receptive. Although the AUG is no longer one of the top submachine guns, it is still worth a look. With these talents, it is suitable for PvE activities. Malevolent is hard to unlock, so consider using Deadly or Ravenous instead.
Many players of World of Warcraft complain that they cannot find groups for mythic keystone dungeons. A group of streamers and fans has now dedicated itself to this problem.
Easier to find groups for Mythic+: A group of WoW players has created a website that should help players more easily connect to Mythic+ dungeons and raids. This addresses a problem that is often discussed in forums.
This is how the WoWGroupFinder works
Groups for key stones and raids: On the website wowgroupfinder.com, you can log in with your Twitch account and link it directly to your Battle.net account. This way, players will know right away whom to invite.
You can register directly via the search tool and find groups that have openings. For mythic keystones, you can set many options:
The preferred instance
The preferred difficulty (currently between +2 and +18)
A date if you want to search for a specific day
Your faction
The tool works similarly for raids. You specify the desired raid, choose a difficulty and faction, or search for a particular day.
This is what the group search looks like.
The problem concerns the community: One issue for many WoW community members is that they cannot find groups to tackle Mythic+ dungeons or raids. Especially players without a guild often have difficulties joining a group.
Many players get declined through the in-game search tool because their “raider.io score” or their progress on wowprogress is not high enough. The WoWGroupFinder is supposed to eliminate this problem.
The goal is for players to find each other specifically and to play together without special requirements, thus securing better loot from keystone dungeons.
These groups have already achieved success.
The tool is still in development: The WoWGroupFinder works cross-server and integrates the community of many streamers. Even JohnnyCDerp, who already participated for MeinMMO in our Battle for Azeroth event, is joining in.
At the moment, the tool is still growing, and most groups are started by the participating streamers. If you want to join a group in a livestream, you will probably find most groups during the online times. However, you can also offer your own keystones and then set off with a group.
You come into contact with people who tend to care less about numbers and more about the player. This allows you to form groups with which you can achieve consistent and lasting success. The right preparation is of course still important.
What do you think of the project? Will you sign up and participate, or do you prefer to rely on the community in the game? Let us know in a comment!

For the release of Red Dead Redemption 2, some players have already stayed up all night. What many did not expect, however, is the brutality they witness in the Wild West.
Red Dead Redemption 2 tells the story of the last glorious days of outlaws in the Wild West. Of course, a bit of violence must be included. Some players who have already spent some time with Arthur Morgan and the gang are shocked by how honest and brutal the game really is.
The game makes no secret of the fact that players hunt real animals virtually. Thus, the killing of animals or the removal of their fur is not sugar-coated. Some players have already shared videos of their hunts.

Some spectators are appalled by how brutal the skinning of a rabbit is, while experienced hunters confirm that this is also a way to obtain valuable furs in real life.
Realistic Hunting: Another video shows the hunting of a deer. Arthur has already shot the animal with an arrow but has not killed it yet.
The animal writhes and desperately tries to stand up. Arthur puts the animal out of its misery with a decisive grip.

Many players report that they find it disturbing how realistically the animals react. The deer lies twitching on the ground and seems to be in pain. As Arthur approaches, the animal widens its eyes and screams in panic.
Of Fires and Fights
Players praise fire physics: Players seem not to take the brutality to heart so much when it involves human NPCs rather than animals. In a video where a dead NPC is thrown into the fire, many players praise the fire physics.

In the video, Arthur grabs the lifeless body and throws it next to the fire. However, the victim’s arm catches fire, which spreads slowly. The NPC leisurely goes up in flames.
With a knife into the fight: A scene from a stream creates laughter. Arthur gets involved in a fight started by an NPC. As he walks by, the NPC talks to Arthur and immediately starts throwing punches as he approaches.
Arthur is quickly disarmed, but he can still pull out a knife and stab the unruly character. This is depicted quite bloody, but it is overshadowed by the streamer’s assurances that it was not murder, but self-defense.

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, a female-only e-sports team is set to compete soon. A top organization in e-sports, Gen.G, has invested a lot of money and effort into the team of female gamers.
What is Gen.G? Gen.G stands for “Generation Gaming” and is a large e-sports organization from South Korea. Gen.G teams are active and successful in several games, including League of Legends, Heroes of the Storm, and Overwatch.
The New eSports Team for Fortnite
What’s the deal with the Gen.G team in Fortnite? Gen.G aims to establish a strong presence in Fortnite and has therefore founded its own team for Epic’s battle royale shooter.
The special feature: The Fortnite team will consist only of women. The two rising US pro gamers, Tina “Tinaraes” Perez and Madison “Maddiesuun” Mann, are leading the way. Tinaraes has already made a name for herself in the Fall Skirmish tournament and placed 4th in Week 3.
The overall stats for the two are as follows:
Tinaraes has a win rate of 13.3 percent in 8,407 matches and a kill-death ratio of 4.31. With her 31,458 kills, she is among the top 0.1 percent of players.
Maddiesuun has a win rate of 10.6 percent in 7,294 matches and a kill-death ratio of 3.53. With her 23,036 kills, she is also among the top 0.1 percent of players.
Both players compete on PC.

Curious detail: Typically, US e-sports organizations hire Koreans as professionals, but in this case, a Korean clan is recruiting players from America.
How Gen.G plans to further develop the Fortnite team: To optimally support the two players, Gen.G has also hired the streamer Kristen “KittyPlays” Valnicek as manager. Valnicek is the founder of the streamer community “Team Kitty“, in which almost only women are active.

Ex-NBA star as coach: Additionally, support comes from Chris Bosh, a former NBA star. He is also supposed to advise and support the players to become optimal e-sports athletes.
Big money for the Fortnite team: All these initiatives cost a lot of money and show that Gen.G is serious about creating a Fortnite presence while also promoting female pro gamers.
So far, the esports scene has been rather male-dominated and women often find it hard to connect. Through Gen.G’s initiative, this should change, unlocking the previously untapped potential of female gamers.
When will the two compete for the first time? Their first test in an official tournament is slated for this weekend at the finals of the Fall Skirmish tournament at Twitch Con.
In Destiny 2, Xur is coming today. Where to find Xur and which Exotics he has on offer, you can find out here. This is the location and inventory on October 26.
On Tuesday, October 30, a new questline will start as part of the Halloween event. You will take on the hunt for the killers of Master Ives. Powerful gear is supposed to be the reward. In Destiny 2, Ives was the Cryptarch at the Vestian Outpost in the Reef.
However, the weekly Xur visits will probably never end. Let’s take a look together at what Xur brings this time.
All info on Xur in Destiny 2 on October 26 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC
When does Xur come today? – The times
The Xur time: Xur has been appearing every Friday for four years. So also in Destiny 2 Forsaken. The time is 7 PM.
Keep in mind that this weekend the time will switch to winter time in this country. On the night from Saturday to Sunday, the clocks will be turned back from 3 AM to 2 AM. During winter time, 6 PM should be the Xur time.
When does Xur disappear? The Agent of the Nine will pack his things on Tuesday, October 30, for the Weekly Reset. This should happen an hour earlier at 6 PM from this Xur visit onwards.
Where is Xur? You can find him at this location today
Xur’s location: He is in the EDZ. Fly there to the Winding Cove and keep to the left. Climb up a bit, there you will find Xur near a Fallen ship. Nexxoss Gaming will guide you there:

Developer Bioware has revealed new gameplay of Anthem in a live stream. This included a first impression of the Super Attacks.
What was shown? In the video, we get a glimpse of normal gameplay from the Alpha of Anthem. A side mission is shown where the goal is to locate a specific person.
The team traverses a part of the game world as a four-player squad. We follow the Storm Javelin, which represents a kind of ranged fighter with magical abilities due to its elemental attacks.
Gameplay shows Super Attacks
During the mission, the Super Attacks of the Interceptor and the Colossus were shown.
This is how the shown Super Attacks work:
The Colossus fires rockets that cause massive explosions. It also carries a shield that can be used as a battering ram even while flying.
The Super Attack of the Interceptor is a kind of temporary mode in which this one can endure more and uses its dual blades for strong and quick attack combos.
You have pre-ordered Red Dead Redemption 2, but can't find your bonuses? We will show you when and where you can get your pre-order bonuses in the game.
The different versions of Red Dead Redemption 2 also include different pre-order bonuses. We will show you where in the story you can claim your War Horse, additional premium horses, and pre-order items.
Where can I find the War Horse?
How to get the Ardenner War Horse: The Ardenner War Horse is a bonus included with all pre-order editions. The iron-gray animal has more courage and endurance than the average horses that can be purchased or found in the wild, making it a great choice especially at the beginning of the game.
This War Horse is available to pre-order customers
You will receive the War Horse during the story of Red Dead Redemption 2. At the end of Chapter 1, you will unlock the camp system and receive a tutorial on stables.
Once you have a stable, you can visit it and choose from several horses. If you have successfully redeemed your pre-order code, the Ardenner War Horse will also be among those horses.
Where can I find the other pre-order horses? You will also find the other horses from the different versions of RDR 2 after the tutorial on the stables. The other horses are as follows:
Black spotted English thoroughbred in the Special Edition
English black chestnut thoroughbred in the Ultimate Edition
Why are horses so important? In Red Dead Redemption 2, horses will be more than just a means of transportation, and players should be able to build a real relationship with the animals. A horse that has gotten used to you will react differently to situations than a horse you just bought or stole.
Where can I find the pre-order items?
How to obtain the items: The bonus items, such as the “Nuevo-Paraiso-Gunslinger” outfit and the talisman, will only be available to you at a later stage. You need to have access to your camp in Chapter 2 for this.
Fortnite: Battle Royale is taking place soon in real life. Because at Christmas, several toy manufacturers have special Fortnite toys on offer. However, you should definitely not put one of these under the tree for your little ones!
Fortnite is extremely popular among kids and teens. The colorful battle royale shooter is simply well received. Therefore, Epic’s next step is only logical: to market officially licensed Fortnite stuff as toys for Christmas.
These Fortnite toys will be available for the Christmas season
The Fortnite action figures: Coming soon from toy manufacturer McFarlane Toys is a series of Fortnite action figures. They are elaborately designed and measure 7 inches tall. That’s about 17 centimeters.
The first series of action figures features a range of rare and coveted skins from Fortnite:
What does it cost? The toys are currently available for pre-order in the USA for $24.99. When we know something about the Euro price, we will let you know here.
The Fortnite Nerf blaster: If you prefer something more tangible, grab the first official NERF blaster in Fortnite style. It is a bright yellow replica of the legendary SCAR weapon from the game. This assault rifle is still extremely popular and reliable.
The NERF version is likely to be just as impressive, as it is a fully automatic weapon with an electric motor. You can fire the standard magazine of 10 foam darts at record speed.
However, the blaster will not be available until June 2019 and will be the first of several Fortnite NERF blasters.
Toys you should not put under the tree for your kids!
The realistic unicorn pickaxe: The last currently known Fortnite toy is a replica of the legendary pickaxe “Rainbow Smash,” a reference to the name Rainbow Dash from the series My Little Pony.
The pickaxe belongs to the set of the popular color bomber in the game and will be available soon for $50. The pickaxe measures 99 centimeters in length and looks quite massive.
So those who want to ensure that their Christmas is a total disaster should definitely put this toy under the tree. Especially when a completely Fortnite-obsessed child tries to “harvest” the Christmas tree, it should be clear why this is not a good idea.
Just imagine what else could break when equipping children with meter-long melee weapons. The usefulness of such a gift for Christmas is therefore rather questionable.
Those who do not have children can surely impress with the pickaxe in the display case.
With the upcoming WoW Patch 8.1, a truly nasty blood elf is returning to Azeroth. We reveal who will soon be causing trouble in World of Warcraft.
The upcoming update Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance continues the story of World of Warcraft. It includes a reunion with an elf we last met in the War of Thorns. The ruthless killer blood elf Lorash is on the loose again.
Spoiler Warning: If you don’t want to know why Lorash is reappearing, you should not continue reading.
Who is Lorash? Horde players may remember Lorash from the “War of Thorns,” the pre-event for Battle for Azeroth. Together with the player, he initiated the attack on Astranaar and secretly killed the sentinels and their leader. He is also responsible for the deaths of civilians, whom he cold-bloodedly slaughtered – including defenseless sleepers.
How does Lorash return? With Patch 8.1, Lorash has a new model. His skin is pale gray, and his eyes glow an orange hue. He has apparently been resurrected by Sylvanas and is now one of her Forsaken.
What role will he play? It is still unclear how Lorash will appear. Only his character model has been extracted from the game data so far. This reunion may involve a quest that will be unlocked only late.
Tensions in the Horde: This development is also interesting because Lor’themar Theron, the leader of the blood elves, had previously forbidden Sylvanas from resurrecting blood elves. Now, as Warchief, she seems to no longer adhere to this agreement from the Siege of Orgrimmar (Mists of Pandaria).
This could lead to an exciting internal plot in the Horde – after all, Lor’themar has also received a new model. And that usually indicates that a character will soon play a larger role.
Are you looking forward to a reunion with Lorash as a Horde player? Or do you want to extinguish his life lights as an Alliance player?
In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 a glitch has emerged that is ruining the fun for some players in multiplayer. The bug causes the character to “run” extremely fast across the map and is already being deliberately used in multiplayer matches.
Speed Glitch grants high speed boost and leaves opponents desperate
How does this glitch occur? We will not provide a detailed guide here. It is quite possible that players may get banned for using it. The bug, however, is related to the Skulker perk.
What does this speed glitch do? Normally, this perk gives you a small speed boost while crouching or crawling. But through the glitch, this effect can be stacked and allows the player to zip across the map while crouching.
The movements are so quick that opponents in the multiplayer have little time to react. They are completely helpless. Hitting the attacker is practically impossible.
Since the discovery, there have been some players who are deliberately using the glitch to gain an advantage. This apparently works on all platforms and is very easy to reproduce.
What is the difference between a glitch and a hack? A glitch uses the mechanics built into the game by the developers in a way that does not align with the intended purpose of the feature. The results are usually trivial, but can sometimes lead to huge advantages like exploits. A hack manipulates game files and is thus an external interference.
This is what the speed glitch looks like from the victim’s perspective:

This is how the developers respond: Treyarch has indicated that they are aware of the problem and are working on a solution. Therefore, the speed glitch should not ruin the fun in multiplayer for too long.
Along with the Halloween event, the new raid boss Giratina has arrived in the arenas of Pokémon GO. Videos show how trainers defeat the Pokémon in pairs.
Possible in pairs: Usually, Pokémon from level 5 raids are characterized by their special strength. It usually takes three or more players to tackle a raid. However, Giratina doesn’t seem to pose such problems. Some trainers have already defeated the Pokémon in pairs.
Diverse videos show players fighting in pairs
More and more players are uploading their videos on YouTube, where they and another trainer can easily defeat Giratina.

It wasn’t even close: In one video, players “6blackhawk6” and “CoachMK21” defeat Giratina effortlessly and win. They even have about 50 seconds left.
Why so easy? There are several reasons why Giratina is so easy to defeat. For one, friendship plays a significant role. If you have a high friendship level with your teammate, you get a bonus in battle that makes your attackers stronger. The higher the friendship level, the higher the bonus.
Weather bonus: In this case, both players had a weather bonus. In windy weather, dragon-type attackers and Giratina itself are strengthened. The Pokémon are defeated faster, yet they also deal more damage.
Simple types: Giratina possesses the ghost and dragon types. The dragon type is particularly easy to counter and has many strong and effective Pokémon against it.
Even without weather bonus: Another video shows that Giratina can even be defeated in pairs without a weather bonus. When a Pokémon benefits from the weather bonus, its attacks are strengthened. This means it deals more damage. If your Pokémon do not benefit from any bonus, they deal less damage, making Giratina harder to defeat.
But this is also achievable with Giratina. Another video provides the proof.

Tip to save time: There is another trick to save a few seconds. You need to create another battle team, into which you don’t add any Pokémon. Let the time run out while leaving the empty battle team selected.
Then the raid begins, but you are still in the lobby. Then select your battle team and go into the fight. Now you won’t see the start animation, and you can fight directly. If you are quick, you can save several seconds with this method.
Not the first raid boss to defeat in pairs: Giratina is not the first level 5 raid that can be completed with two players. The current EX raid boss Deoxys can also be defeated with two players. You can find videos of that here.
What do you think of the new raid boss? Do you dare to take on the raid in pairs?
The Companion App for Red Dead Redemption 2 is available for download on iOS and Android. In this guide, you will learn how to use it.
As a help for Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar Games provides you with a companion app. A software for mobile devices that can assist you on your adventure.
We will show you here how to connect the app with Red Dead Redemption 2 and how to use its features.
[toc]
Download of the Companion App for Android and iOS
First, you need to download the official Companion App for Red Dead Redemption 2 from your mobile store.
How big is the app? The app is about 210 MB for iOS devices.
Link RDR 2 with Social Club
You can link the companion app with your Social Club account.
Connect Social Club with Red Dead Redemption 2: In the game, open the pause menu and select the second-to-last option “Social Club”. Then press the hotkey to “Join Social Club”. On Xbox, this is the Y button. You can either create a new account there or log in with your existing login credentials.
Activate Social Club on Companion App: Select the cowboy symbol in the top right corner of the main menu. Then click on Sign In and enter your email address and password for your Social Club account. Your account will then be linked with the app.
How to connect the Companion App with Red Dead Redemption 2? If you have linked the app and the game with the same Social Club account, click in the app on “Connect” when selecting profiles (cowboy symbol). The app should now be directly connected to the game.
As confirmation, you will also receive a message in the upper right corner of the screen in RDR 2 when the services are linked.
The Features of the RDR 2 Companion App
In the overview of the map, you will find eight different features that you can use when the app and the game are connected.
Map
How does the map help? With this feature, you get an insight into the map of Red Dead Redemption 2. You will see Arthur’s health and stamina displayed in the bottom left corner along with Arthur’s horse.
You will see interesting spots on the map marked with symbols. For example, merchants will be shown to you, just like the positions of Arthur and his horse. A button on the location symbol above the clipboard centers the camera over the player position.
Setting a marker: To set a marker on the map, you need to tap the screen twice. A red marker symbol will appear. You will then also find it on the map in the game. On the minimap and on the large map.
Removing a marker: If you want to remove a marker that has been set, just tap it again twice.
Setting a waypoint: To set a waypoint, hold your finger on a spot on the map. After about a second, the waypoint will be set.
Difference between waypoint and marker: A waypoint shows you a route to reach the set point. A marker only sets this.
Removing a waypoint: Hold the waypoint for one second with your finger to remove it.
Journal
How does the journal help? In the journal, you will find records from Arthur. These can be drawings of landscapes or buildings. Or they are texts that Arthur has written.
This way, you will find important information about places and people you encounter in the game.
This is what an entry looks like: Early on, you will find an entry in the journal with a drawing of a girl and text accompanying it.
Jenny, a sweet young girl we picked up by the roadside, and Micah, an outlaw that Dutch met somewhere in a bar. Dutch seems to have taken a liking to Micah, even though he is quite hot-headed, quarrelsome, and arrogant. Hosea and I are not so sure about him. We will see.
At some point, we made it out of the wilderness and set up camp outside of Blackwater. Sometimes I stay in town, looking for work.
Social Club Feed
This feature opens the Social Club website in the browser. There, you will be redirected to the activities immediately. You can post messages on your wall, for example.

Have you downloaded the Companion App for Red Dead Redemption 2?
With the current update 3.3.0t, it is now possible to purchase ships directly in the space MMO Star Citizen. However, it’s not cheap.
The purchase of ships is an important feature in Star Citizen, as it finances the further development of the game. While you could only purchase spacecraft outside the game until now, you can now do so directly in the game – with in-game currency. However, it takes a long time to earn.
You can now buy ships directly in Star Citizen
Here’s how to buy ships in Star Citizen now: In the current Alpha, you visit Teach’s Ship Shop, which has a selection of spacecraft ready for you.
Each of the ships will be presented to you
You can even board the ships and take a close look at them
However, it is not possible to start and fly the ships

Players criticize the prices: The prices of the ships in Teach’s Ship Shop are quite high.
The Cutlass ship costs about 1.5 million aUEC (in-game currency in the Alpha).
The starter ship Aurora costs 200,000 aUEC.
Due to the current economic situation in the game, it takes an extremely long time to afford a ship.
A transport of goods takes about 15 minutes and earns 100 aUEC.
A mission with a similar duration earns 750 aUEC. Although it also depends on the type of ship you are currently flying, since they differ in speed and therefore missions can sometimes be completed faster. Still, this circumstance shows that it will take a long time to afford a good ship.
To earn an Aurora, you roughly need about 50 play hours.
Unless this system gets adjusted accordingly, which is not that unlikely. Because Star Citizen is still in the Alpha phase. For testing purposes, players were given some money to try out the system.
This is how fans are reacting: The currently high prices for ships and the related effort to earn them could lead many fans to prefer to buy the ships directly. Accordingly, the current prices are not well received by the community.
Seb says in the official forum: “Yep. Pay2Win in all its glory.”
But there are also fans who see this completely differently and defend the prices:
Hex Koda writes: “You will be able to rent ships or buy used ships. It will also be possible to serve on board a large ship. Surely there will also be lucrative missions later on. It’s not worth freaking out about this now.”
The topic of “buying ships” is still a hotly debated issue within the community. And it will likely remain a controversial topic.

Apparently, Blizzard is listening, has taken the criticism to heart, and improved the scenes at Darkshore. Here, Tyrande transforms into the powerful “Night Warrior” through a ritual, while the Forsaken aim to recruit some Night Elves as undead.
Tyrande is not a queen: In some dialogues, other Elves referred to Tyrande as “Queen” – although Tyrande despises this title, which she has made clear repeatedly over the past few years. This has been changed; now they all only refer to her as “Tyrande” – except for Plaguebringer, who aims to mock her.
A bloody battle: While Tyrande becomes the Night Warrior, the player and NPCs protect her ritual. This is now significantly bloodier, as many more Horde characters attack. The player does not win but is threatened to lose. One is almost overrun by the Horde before the ritual is completed, leading to the (still unknown) cutscene.
No mercy means no mercy: A major criticism was that after her transformation, Tyrande says that “the time for mercy is over” – only to shortly freeze a camp of undead. This scene has been changed. Tyrande now destroys all undead in the camp except for one – and that one is left behind to deliver her message.
Exciting final battle: Another downside was the superiority of Nathanos Blightcaller, who was not intimidated by the “new” Tyrande. In the updated version, he actually fights for his life, is severely wounded by Tyrande, and survives because Brynja sacrifices herself. The revivals of the two Night Elves still succeed.
All these changes are essentially suggestions that the “Red Shirt Guy” brought up or were proposed by the community.
It seems that the player protests on Reddit and in the official forums have made a difference.
However, there is also the possibility that Blizzard had planned some of these changes anyway – after all, the yet-to-be-shown cutscenes must have been completed long ago, and they need to fit the storyline.
Cortyn says: I think it’s great that Blizzard reacts to feedback and removes major story blunders from the game. Now the storyline at Darkshore makes much more sense and feels much more cohesive than before. However, these changes also leave a bad taste and raise two questions:
Did Blizzard not know better at first?
Should players decide how the story of WoW should look?
I’m not sure if I like that the story progression is now being “dictated” by the community. As long as it is just a one-time case, I can probably live with it.

Do you think it’s good that Blizzard is adjusting the story based on player complaints?

The latest dev blog post about The Division 2 provides insights into the True Sons, one of the enemy factions that will stand against you. Here’s what you need to know about the group.
As in The Division 1 there are several enemy factions in the second part that have settled in Washington D.C. Each of these factions has its own motives, hierarchies, and enemy types.
One of the new factions is the True Sons. This paramilitary group consists of a former JTF unit and lives by the motto that only the strongest should survive. Massive aims to make villains even more villainous in The Division 2. The True Sons exemplify this.
True Sons were founded from JTF and criminals
How did the True Sons come about? Colonel Antwon Ridgeway, as a member of the JTF, led a quarantine zone on Roosevelt Island and was responsible for maintaining order there.
However, the chaos and decay triggered by the virus had a strong impact on him. Ridgeway lost faith that the JTF could save Washington.
He is an advocate of discipline and authority and decided to take matters into his own hands. He positioned guards around the quarantine camp and ordered that no one be let out.
He redirected incoming resources, such as medicine and food, deliberately allowing many innocents to starve. The sick and weak were already as good as dead to him, so he kept everything for himself and his men.
This is how they broke away from the JTF: After the government and JTF became aware of his actions, Ridgeway was imprisoned in a military prison. But soon he was freed by loyal men from his former unit.
Ridgeway recruited the prison inmates and his loyal men to fight against the JTF. An example was made of the officers who had taken him prisoner. The True Sons were born.
“There is no place for weakness. Cowards die on their knees. It’s going to be great” – Antwon Ridgeway
With their military training and access to weapons and resources, the True Sons were able to rise to become a powerful faction in D.C. that will stop at nothing.
This is what to expect in fighting the True Sons
This is how they operate: Massive describes the True Sons as a disciplined and well-trained unit that approaches combat tactically.
In combat, they spread out and attack from all sides
They respond if you eliminate multiple targets
They might abandon their tactics out of desperation and charge blindly
What types of enemies are there? The True Sons have a total of ten different enemy types, each with their specific characteristics. Unfortunately, there is no exact list yet, but some are already known.
For example, there is the Medic, who can revive allies and shock enemies with his shock pad. If you destroy his shock pad, all enemies in the vicinity will be affected by an electric shock.
Conflicts between factions and civilians are expected to play a significant role in The Division 2. Players will likely have an active influence on who gains the upper hand.
Marco Reus is the FIFA 19 Bundesliga POTM September. His SBC is available for one more week – we will show you tips for the SBCs.
This is the POTM card: For the first time in FIFA 19, a Bundesliga Player of the Month is awarded. This player receives a special Inform card with greatly improved stats. The POTM is determined by a fan vote – in September, Marco Reus won this.
Reus excites players
These are the POTM stats: POTM Reus plays as a central attacking midfielder (CAM) and brings excellent attacking stats: The pace of 88 is strong, but especially the 89 in dribbling and 90 in shooting make Reus extremely dangerous in front of goal. His high passing value makes Reus the ideal playmaker for your Bundesliga team.
The POTM card is so popular: On Reddit, the POTM card is very popular. Players who have Marco Reus on their team are excited: “The best player I’ve played with in FIFA so far.” Another user agrees: “He is incredible, the best player of the year.” The Reus stats of another player are impressive: “Currently 25 goals in 23 matches as CAM.”
How to get POTM Reus
This is how much the SBC costs: The POTM challenges for Reus are not easy to solve. Overall, you should expect to spend around 350,000-400,000 coins. But keep in mind: You don’t only get the POTM Reus card during the SBCs, but also several good packs. With a bit of luck, you can minimize your investment. But hurry up: The SBC is only available for one more week!
Suggestions for the SBC: You need to solve a total of four partial SBCs to get the POTM card. Two of them are quite easy to solve: Both the “Marco Reus” and the “Borussia Dortmund” challenges cost about 40,000 coins and are practically self-explanatory. The “Bundesliga” and “Player of the Month” challenges become difficult or expensive.
This is how you solve the Marco Reus SBC: In this SBC, you need to build a team around a Marco Reus placeholder that has a minimum rating of 83. The key point here is that you need an Inform player. Use the IF card from Benedikt Höwedes: The German left back fits perfectly in left back and has a good connection with Reus.
This is how you solve the Bundesliga SBC: Here you need a team with a total of 9 Bundesliga players, which requires an overall rating of 85. Rely on Manuel Neuer in goal: The keeper is expensive, but with his 90 rating, he gives you room with the other players. Another special feature: Place goalkeeper Hradecky at left back. His 84 rating benefits you a lot and does not lower your chemistry too much.
This is how you solve the Borussia Dortmund SBC: This SBC is almost self-explanatory. You need a total of 9 Dortmund players and an overall rating of 82, plus two Inform players. Use the IF cards from Paco Alcacer and Al Soma for this.
This is how you solve the Player of the Month SBC: In this partial SBC, you need to build a team that has a minimum rating of 86 and includes at least one German player and one Borussia Dortmund player.
The stats suggest that you should place Reus in this team. But you don’t have to! On the FIFA website futhead you can find good solutions for the SBC that are relatively inexpensive. Highly rated players like Iniesta, who play in unusual leagues, can help you with such SBCs.
Once you have completed all the SBCs, you will have the Reus POTM card in your ranks from now on. And maybe you also pulled one of the best players in FIFA 19 from the packs? One thing is certain: To solve these SBCs, you need a lot of coins. You can earn these, for example, by trading with the TOTW. Or you can use our coin guide:
That MMOs don’t always have to play out similarly is what Fastraune’s online game Project Nobody aims to prove. It’s not about level-ups and quests.
Project Nobody is more of a kind of psychological study, where the behavior of players and their influence on the game world take center stage. The MMO is still in a very early development phase. Therefore, there are no screenshots yet – in the post, we include images from games that are also developed with SpatialOS.
Worlds Adrift – a SpatialOS game
An MMO like no other
What is Project Nobody? The MMO aims to offer something new and should not be confused with MMORPGs like World of Warcraft. The game has little to do with that.
You are a nobody and your only way to become a somebody is to submit to another player
You become a henchman working for a more powerful player and collecting resources
Half of everything you achieve in the game goes to your “master”
Protection is important as there are many dangers in the game world such as wandering monsters and other players attacking you in open PvP
Exploration is important to obtain valuable resources. However, the wilderness is very dangerous
The master builds walls and towns with what his subjects provide him in income
A society is supposed to emerge where dependencies are in focus
The game is not about completing quests or improving the character but about changing the world and your status within it because you also want to become a somebody from a nobody
Seed: MMORPG from Berlin, also created with SpatialOS
Huge worlds and social interaction
Wonder technology SpatialOS enables huge worlds: Project Nobody utilizes the highly praised SpatialOS technology to create a huge, persistent world. There should be no planned wipes like in time-limited survival games, and there should never be a lack of space to build cities. Everything achieved and built will be stored “forever”.
The network technology enabling this comes from SpatialOS. Moreover, this technology allows the size of the game world to adapt to the players. This should prevent overcrowded or empty worlds. The world will also be continuously expanded. However, new areas will be dangerous and should only be visited by experienced players.
According to Fastraune, SpatialOS also enables smaller teams to implement large MMO projects. The technology is also utilized in other games, including the shooter Mavericks: Proving Grounds and in the MMO Worlds Adrift.
There are currently projects underway in China that are being developed with SpatialOS.
When will Project Nobody be released? Currently, there is no release date. The game is in a very early development phase. There are not even any screenshots or videos available yet.
What could Project Nobody mean for players? Project Nobody is not a typical MMORPG. However, it offers some elements of it, like combat, PvP, and resource gathering. Much more, it aims to create an online society that functions almost like a “real” one, with dependencies, protection, construction, development, and more.
The online game is a kind of social study that can show how players behave and develop in such an online world. That alone makes Project Nobody a highly interesting title.
