B.O.B. counts as a full hero in Overwatch, as long as Ashe has summoned him. This leads to fun combinations.
For several days now, the PTR of Overwatch has been active again. Here, players can try out the latest patch of Blizzard’s hero shooter and already get hands-on with the latest character Ashe. Ashe has caused quite a stir since her announcement at BlizzCon and is already developing into a fan favorite.
This is not least due to her ultimate ability: B.O.B. The omnic rushes onto the battlefield, throwing all enemies he touches into the air and then turning around to rain fire on opponents for a few seconds before flying away again.Also exciting:No more reworks in Overwatch for the time being.
B.O.B. can do everything other heroes can do
Already in the presentation, it was mentioned that he counts “almost as an additional hero,” but this has several implications:
B.O.B. can contest control points and thus capture objectives, push the payload, or prevent enemies from doing the same.
B.O.B. can be targeted by allied heroes for abilities such as Ana’s Nanoboost or Zarya’s shield.
Conversely, this also means that enemy abilities can affect B.O.B. just as much:
Ana’s Sleep Arrow puts him out of action.
Zarya’s Graviton Bomb can pull him in.
Reinhardt’s Charge and Earthshatter can stun and take him out.
The classic skin
Moreover, B.O.B. can also be killed, causing Ashe’s ultimate to end prematurely.
With B.O.B., as this clip shows, you can even capture a control point when the whole team is actually dead:

The data miner Chrales has discovered the Sinnoh Stone in the code of Pokémon GO. This is supposed to be a new evolution item.
The data miner Chrales, who recently discovered new Pokémon in the code, has now also found a new evolution item. With this item, some new Pokémon could be evolved.
Sinnoh Stone: This stone could trigger the evolution of various Pokémon from Generation 4. The code describes the stone as “A special stone that was first found in the Sinnoh region and can evolve certain Pokémon species.”
Sinnoh Stone could ease the game
The Sinnoh Stone has not appeared in any of the Pokémon console games, so exact information about its effect cannot be provided.
First seen in a Pokémon copy: The Sinnoh Stone first appeared in the Pokémon copy “Project Pokémon.” This was not an official Pokémon game and is no longer playable.
In this game, the Sinnoh Stone could evolve the following Pokémon:
Magneton to Magnezone
Elektek to Elevoltek
Magmar to Magbrant
Tangela to Tangoloss
Togetic to Togekiss
Rizeros to Rihornior
Schlurp to Schlurplek
Sniebel to Snibunna
Yanma to Yanmega
Evoli to Glaciola
Evoli to Folipurba
Skorgla to Skorgro
Kramurx to Kramshef
Kirlia to Galagladi
Traunfugil to Traunmagil
Keifel to Mamutel
Zwirrklop to Zwirrfinst
Griffel to Ambidiffel
Schneppke to Frosdedje
Nasgnet to Voluminas
Roselia to Roserade
Porygon 2 to Porygon Z
Whether you can evolve all these Pokémon with the Sinnoh Stone in Pokémon GO remains to be seen. These Pokémon all have pre-evolutions from previous generations and receive an evolution in Generation 4.
Most important item: If one can evolve so many different Pokémon with this single item, then the Sinnoh Stone would play a significant role in completing the Pokédex. If this stone appears as frequently as the other evolution items, it could take weeks to evolve all Pokémon.
So far just theory: The Sinnoh Stone has only been found in the game code so far. No one knows when it will be released and what impact that will have.
In Destiny 2: Forsaken offers clans the opportunity to complete a weekly raid challenge. We explain how the challenge “Keep Out” works.
If you are a member of a clan, there is an additional opportunity for you in Forsaken to earn powerful gear.
Hawthorne offers special weekly bounties at the Tower that can only be completed by clans. These clan bounties focus on specific challenges in the raid “Last Wish”.
Keep Out – How the Challenge Works
This is what the current bounty for clans contains: Currently, clans can attempt the raid challenge “Keep Out”. To master this challenge, you must successfully complete the weekly bounty of the same name from Hawthorne. This challenge takes you into the Forsaken raid Last Wish, so you will need a group.
This challenge is also required for the raid seal and the title “Riven’s Wail”.
These requirements must be met for the bounty:
You must be a member of a clan. Solo players cannot complete this specific bounty.
Your clan must be at least level 4. Otherwise, you will not be able to accept the bounty.
A power level of around 550 is recommended.
Here’s how “Keep Out” works: First, accept the corresponding bounty from Hawthorne with your raid team. Now you need to enter the Last Wish raid.
The weekly clan bounty “Keep Out”
The mechanics of the challenge are easy to explain:
It is about mastering the security mechanism of the vault after the Morgeth encounter while fulfilling an additional condition. You can find out how to get there and the basic mechanics of this phase in our detailed raid guide for Last Wish.
You can also shorten the path to this phase if you enter the code for the 6th wish at the Wall of Wishes.
The additional challenge requires you to do the following: During this phase, Abomination Knights will spawn at three different locations after some time. Your additional task is to prevent these knights from entering the inner circle around the centrally located machine.
The knights spawn in the 3 rooms entrance, forest, and stones (Image: Venero TV)
The apparatus in the middle of the room is surrounded by a clearly visible Abomination energy field or barrier. The knights must not cross this field. Otherwise, the challenge will fail.
Things to keep in mind: It is advisable to assign a set player to each potential knight spawn point, who then focuses on dealing with the knights. The other three guardians can support as needed.
Weapons such as the Sleeper Simulant, the One Thousand Voices, the IKELOS shotgun, and the tractor cannon are excellent for taking out the knights. Especially the tractor cannon can push a knight away from the barrier at the last moment in a tight situation. Swords are also of great use.
Nova bombs from Warlocks and the Golden Gun from Hunters in conjunction with the helmet Celestial Nighthawk and the Titan’s Hammer Strike ability are extremely helpful in eliminating the knights.
You can see how the challenge plays out in this video from Nexxoss Gaming:

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 everyone hated the 9-Bang grenade. At the same time, many beta veterans longed for the big super-zombie Blightfather. Both wishes have recently come true
What’s the deal with the 9-Bang? Anyone who has been hit by a 9-Bang grenade will quickly learn to hate it. The grenade is a real firecracker and, with its combination of bang and flash effect, causes all victims in the effect radius to be unable to see for seconds and only stumble around confused.
This practically reduces survival chances to zero, and the thrower can delightfully farm the helpless victims. There are virtually no counters against the nerve-grenade. Those who get hit are almost guaranteed to die.
Therefore, fans have been raging on Reddit for weeks, demanding a solution from Treyarch. A first nerf, however, provided hardly any improvement. The grenade was simply too good. Now the developers have taken other measures.
9-Bang completely removed, but only from Blackout
No more 9-Bang in Battle Royale: With the latest patch, the controversial grenade has simply been removed from the Battle Royale mode Blackout. Anyone who has relied on the grenade until now must now find another way to achieve easy kills.
Will the 9-Bang be gone forever? Treyarch plans to keep the grenade out for now until they have thoroughly analyzed the weapon. Then they may bring it back in another form.
What else has changed? There have been additional weapon changes in Blackout:
All submachine guns now have a higher muzzle velocity. This is intended to differentiate them more from assault rifles. Additionally, the Spitfire has less recoil.
The Rampart 17 has been buffed and now has less wobble when aiming. Recoil has also been reduced.
The tactical rifle Augr DMR has received a slightly faster muzzle velocity and can be re-centered more quickly.
The Swordfish now has a tighter deviation pattern.
The light machine guns Titan, VKM 750, and Hades have also received improvements to their re-centering.
Stun grenades are now throwable farther and can be found in 2-packs – as compensation for the removal of the 9-Bang.
The Blightfather returns!
Super-Zombie is back: Anyone who played the Blackout Beta might have encountered the gigantic super-zombie Blightfather. The colossus is back and roaming around the Asylum graveyard. Those who defeat him can earn great loot.
Or you can ambush the players who are currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Blightfather.
Here you can find more info about the weapons in Blackout:
The inventory in Guild Wars 2 is actually always full. The main reason for this are the small runes and sigils. And on November 13, ArenaNet will promptly address this issue.
What happens to the runes and sigils? Runes are needed to enhance armor and sigils for weapons. Both can be obtained by salvaging found armors and weapons.
With the upcoming patch, you can not only throw normal equipment into the salvager but also the runes and sigils themselves, which previously consumed additional inventory space.
From the items, you can obtain the new material Shimmering Dust. Additionally, there is a small chance for symbols and talismans that could only previously be salvaged from low-level gear.
So that you do not have to first salvage the equipment and then the runes or sigils, ArenaNet has simply removed this step. When salvaging, there is now a direct chance for the aforementioned materials instead of a chance for a rune or a sigil.
What do you do with Shimmering Dust? ArenaNet will introduce new recipes for crafting runes and sigils that could previously only be obtained through salvaging.
These recipes can be learned from the crafting teacher or need to be found in the open world. Shimmering Dust will be required for these recipes.
What did the community actually wish for the inventory? The community of Guild Wars 2 has been crying out for years for a change to the runes and sigils. Many have just wished for a simple step to sell them all to the vendor with one click.
The current innovation from ArenaNet has received a lot of positive feedback on Reddit. Players are also curious if ArenaNet will make changes to the sigil of eradication, which has made the Requiem Armor so expensive introduced in September.
What other changes does the patch bring?
The upcoming update on November 13 will bring some new features for us. Just yesterday, we talked about the changes to PvP and the new game mode. Coincidentally, the new PvP season is expected to start on November 13 around 9 PM.
Revision of runes and sigils: ArenaNet plans to abolish random effects on runes:
For example, the Rune of Dwayna will no longer grant regeneration with a 10% chance on a hit but instead will generally increase the duration of regeneration.
The Rune of the Ogre now no longer randomly summons a rock dog on a hit, but guarantees it every 60 seconds.
A change will also be made to the popular Scholar Rune. You will no longer deal 10% more damage while health is above 90%, but only 5%. To compensate, there will be a permanent +125 Ferocity bonus.
With the sigils, the change to the Sigil of Concentration stands out, which has previously played an important role in the raid meta. This sigil previously provided a 33% increase in boon duration for 7 seconds upon weapon swap. In the future, this sigil will grant a permanent 10% increase in boon duration.
New sharpening stones and maintenance oils: In addition to classic buff food, there will also be improvements, often referred to as wrench buffs.
Here there will be new sharpening stones and maintenance oils that are intended to increase variation and potentially create new alternative builds in PvE. However, those who wish to read up on the current meta can do so in our article on classes.
Nexon has announced a new MMORPG called Dragon Hound, which will be presented in more detail at the Chinese fair G-Star. It seems to be aimed at fans of Monster Hunter World.
What is Dragon Hound? With the MMORPG, Nexon aims to reach players who desire a large online role-playing game on PC and perhaps wanted more MMO elements in Monster Hunter World.
Fights against gigantic boss monsters are the focus
Mounts play a significant role
Combat on mounts is expected to be a central element
You embark on a monster hunting quest in the game world
When will there be more? Next week, from November 15 to 17, G-Star will take place, a fair in China focused on online games. There, Nexon intends to reveal more details about Dragon Hound.
Who is developing the game and when will it be released? Dragon Hound is being developed by DevCat, who are also responsible for the Mabinogi series. Nexon is the publisher. No release date or information regarding an alpha or beta has been announced yet.

Why should MMO fans be excited? MMO fans are waiting for the next big MMORPG and were disappointed by Bless, which was supposed to take on this role. Perhaps Nexon can fill this gap with Dragon Hound.
A small gameplay teaser shows a beautiful game world where hunting giant creatures takes place
It is a large PC MMORPG being developed with Unreal Engine 4
The game visually resembles Bless somewhat
It could be a classic MMORPG focused on monster hunting
These questions remain unanswered: So far, only two videos of the game have been shown, which do not reveal much about the gameplay.
Patch 8.1 of World of Warcraft brings one of the most impressive mounts that WoW has ever had – a water elemental from Jaina.
One of the upcoming bosses in the Battle of Dazar’Alor, the major raid from Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance, is the fight against Jaina Proudmoore. Horde players can fight it normally, while Alliance players must play a flashback to see the fight from the Horde’s perspective.
On the mythic difficulty, however, Jaina has a very special loot in the loot table, namely an exclusive mount: a frost elemental as a mount.
What makes the mount so special? The frost elemental named “Glacial Tidestorm” features a unique model that has not been used by any other elemental in the game. Unlike the “normal” water/frost elementals in the game, this elemental is only half frozen, namely at the top of the head. This creates a platform for a character to stand on. You cannot sit on the elemental – otherwise, your behind might freeze.
This small video from wowhead shows how it looks in motion:

Guaranteed drop on mythic?Jaina Proudmoore is the last boss in the raid Battle of Dazar’Alor. The last boss almost always has an exclusive mount on mythic difficulty. As long as the raid is considered “current”, the drop chance will likely be 100%. Later, when this raid is no longer relevant, the drop chance will dramatically decrease to below 1%.
Thus, World of Warcraft seems to have yet another mount that thousands of players will be chasing in two or three expansions.
Are you looking forward to this elemental as a mount? Or do you find it boring?
ARK: Survival Evolved has received a major expansion with Extinction that shows how the survival game has changed over the years.
ARK has a story, which many may not have been aware of. Since 2016, fans have been following a narrative that has moved away from what the game was at the beginning.
Those who see the new expansion “Extinction” can hardly remember the Dino-ARK of the past.
From Sandbox to Story Game
This is how ARK has changed: The original sandbox game, where you wake up on an island, tame dinos, and engage in PvP battles with other players, has done exactly what the subtitle suggests: “Survival Evolved”. The survival game has evolved.
This is how players have known ARK since the early access phase in 2015, where you woke up almost naked on an island and fought dinosaurs with sticks and stones to tame them.
But then everything changed:
In 2016, notes were introduced into the game that tell a story
The story revolves around a mysterious tech cave and implants in the player’s body
Players discover that the island is a kind of Ark on a space station that is likely orbiting Earth
In the expansion “Scorched Earth” from 2016, you travel to a desert Ark
More and more clues about the true nature of the Arks are found
More tech elements find their way into the game, including dino mechs
The Arks are controlled by so-called Overseers that you must defeat
You explore another Ark in “Aberration”, where a cave system plays a significant role
With “Extinction”, the story now returns to Earth
The End of the Story
This is what Extinction offers: With Extinction, Studio Wildcard aims to provide a worthy finale to the current ARK story.
The story places you on Earth, where you face the powerful Titans
You explore a new, large map
A kind of plague is spreading on Earth, and you must contain its further spread
The Titans represent gigantic monsters that you face in challenging boss battles
The expansion introduces new creatures, such as the Velonasaurus and the Snow Owl
With the Cryopods, you can “store” tamed creatures and take them anywhere
You receive supplies from orbit
Just like with the expansions “Scorched Earth” and “Aberration“, you get to play as your hero, but not the tamed creatures
When is it coming? Extinction is set to launch later today, November 7th. There is no exact start time yet.
This is how fans are reacting: ARK started as a sandbox. The story came later. For many players, ARK is thus fundamentally still a sandbox. Some perceive the story as unnecessary. Accordingly, the reactions are also polarized.
Dinoman9887 writes on Steam: “Do you remember when ARK was still all about dinos? Those were the good times…”
MessagePuppy on the other hand says: “That looks fantastic!”
Play for free: You can currently play ARK: Survival Evolved for free. The survival game is “Free2Play” until November 11th. Additionally, there are discounts available for the title on Steam. The new expansion Extinction is also available at a discount.
Currently, fans of Destiny 2 are so annoyed with a Nightfall Strike that they have even started a petition to remove it from the Nightfall list this week. What is going on?
Numerous Guardians could not believe their eyes when they saw the three Nightfall Strikes available after the Weekly Reset on November 6th. A particular Strike seems to manifest as an eternal plague in the Nightfall rotation and refuses to disappear. Fans are starting to get restless and are calling for a fix.
How long will “The Hollowed Hideout” continue to annoy? Fans start petition
Currently, one of the new Forsaken Strikes is causing trouble. The Hollowed Hideout is driving the Guardians crazy.
What is the problem with the Hollowed Hideout? Since the release of Forsaken, Guardians have three Nightfall Strikes to choose from each week. Bungie aimed to create more variety and facilitate the hunt for certain Nightfall-exclusive rewards.
However, the Strike “The Hollowed Hideout” does the exact opposite and has dominated the weekly Nightfall Strike list for four weeks.
While other Strikes have appeared multiple times in recent weeks, which has already annoyed the community.
But The Hollowed Hideout seems stuck and simply refuses to make way for Strikes like Foreign Terrain, which Guardians have been desperately waiting for weeks – be it for a specific weapon, a triumph, or for a special title.
How fans are reacting: Criticism of the Nightfall rotation has been growing louder over the past few weeks. The “eternal” Nightfall Strike The Hollowed Hideout has finally caused the situation to boil over.
Fans are now so annoyed by the Strike that they are not only expressing their frustration in numerous posts but have also started a petition on reddit. There, they are demanding the removal of the Strike from this week’s Nightfall list.
His reign of terror should finally come to an end.
In just 16 hours, the petition received over 5,000 upvotes and is receiving broad support from the community. Fans are clearly fed up with the Strike, as numerous comments demonstrate.
What does Bungie say? Although the criticism is not new, the developers had not spoken out until now. However, the petition seems to have brought about some movement.
On Twitter, Bungie has now officially stated that they are looking into the issue. Destiny 2 might soon finally relieve its fans from this annoying Nightfall Strike. However, it is still unknown how long Guardians will have to wait for a solution to the problem.
How do you see the situation? Can you also not stand the Strike anymore? Or do you not understand all the fuss?
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Title Update No. 3 for FIFA 19 is here and makes some improvements. This includes a revision of shooting mechanics, and some players are getting new faces. We summarize the most important patch contents for you.
The patch revises the shooting behavior and precision of virtual players, as well as the impact of defenders in certain situations. Additionally, around 50 players receive new, improved facial animations. You can read the detailed changes here.
The patch brings changes to shooting behavior
Among the biggest changes is the revision of finesse shots under certain circumstances. Furthermore, the influence of defenders on strikers who are about to shoot has been adjusted.
Direct shots from certain angles will be less precise
This is how finesse shots are revised: Finesse shots can now go wrong more often under certain circumstances. If the ball comes from a direction behind the player and he shoots directly, the ball’s speed, precision, and spin will now be more strongly influenced.
If the ball comes at an angle between 135 and 225 degrees to the player, i.e., the area behind the player, the subsequent shot will be less precise.
EA has released a diagram for this. 0° (Top) represents the view toward the goal.
How does this affect? EA provides us with comparison images that should show how the update affects the success rate of shots. For this, they took Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne and had him execute 100 finesse shots with balls coming from an angle of 135 and 180°.
Two diagrams show what changes occur with finesse shots taken directly from a 180° angle.
Before the update:
The blue lines show the hits into the net, the red ones are missed shots. After the update, shots miss significantly more often and show a greater variation in their trajectory.
After the update:
With shots where the ball came from a 135° angle, similar results are seen.
What changes? According to EA, it has been observed that defenders standing directly in front of a shooting striker have little influence on the shot’s trajectory.
It is unrealistic and undesirable that strikers can finish successfully despite such pressure. Therefore, adjustments are also made here. Again, this is illustrated with a diagram, this time 100 shots were taken with Romelu Lukaku from Manchester United.
Before the update:
After the update:
Here, too, the influence of the update is visible. The defender seems to exert noticeably more pressure on the striker, resulting in more spread out and imprecise shots.
Conversely, defenders who attacked the striker from behind apparently had too great an influence on their shots. Adjustments were also made here, and shots are now more precise.
Before the update:
After the update:
Here, the adjustments are not quite as noticeable, yet it is clear that shots now miss less often.
What changes? EA has observed that simple shots taken without pressure from other players frequently hit the post or go wide for no apparent reason.
This has now been revised. This is again illustrated by a graphic showing 100 attempts with Neymar.
Before the update:
After the update:
New faces for players and managers
The update also brings a variety of revised faces for 48 players and 2 managers.
These are well-known players getting a new look: The list includes well-known names like Gareth Bale (Real Madrid) and Diego Costa (Atlético Madrid), as well as former Bundesliga players like Heung Ming Son (Tottenham Hotspur).
Now, there are no more Halloween decorations; the houses are back to normal and without ornaments. In addition, there is a new football field and a PC bang. The burger shop, however, is now closed, and the tomato heads seem to be winning.
Thus, the Halloween decoration shop in Retail Row is also closed again, and the entrances are boarded up.
The end of the burgers?
Those who always saw themselves on the team of the burger heads in Fortnite must also be very strong. Because the big Durr Burger restaurant in Greasy Grove is closed! Instead, there is an almost mocking food truck of the tomato heads from Pizza Pit in front of the ruins.
At Pleasant Park, there used to be a soccer field. This has now been converted into an American football field. This is fitting for the new NFL skins that Fortnite will soon bring to the shop.
The latest discovery is a new building at Paradise Palms. There, a type of internet café modeled after a Korean PC bang (as stated on the sign) has emerged. The store is called Keyboard King, and according to a leak, there should also be specific challenges if you are in certain real PC bangs in South Korea and gaming there.
Fortnite is set to launch big in South Korea in PC bangs on November 8, 2018. A dedicated Korean marketing campaign with Chris Pratt as Starlord has also recently been launched.
The studio behind League of Legends, Riot Games, is being sued by two women. A former and a current employee accuse the LoL studio of discriminating against women.
This is what the lawsuit is about: The two plaintiffs claim that they were denied equal pay to men. Additionally, their careers have been hindered by being women.
The working conditions at the studio behind League of Legends have been negatively impacted by a misogynistic culture at Riot Games characterized by sexual harassment, inappropriate behavior, and biases against women.
The two plaintiffs want: They demand compensation for unpaid wages, damages, and other penalties. The amount will be determined in court.
The women further state that they want to stop Riot’s business practices:
Paying men more than women for the same job
Promoting men over women
500 times “Dick” in a month
This is what allegedly happened to Jessica Negron:
One of the plaintiffs is Jessica Negron. She claims that when she started at Riot, her manager quit, and she took over their duties but did not receive higher pay or the title of manager. Instead, three men were hired and given the job without considering Negron.
But she was offered to perform the duties of the supervisory job again after the third man left. Negron still would not have been promoted.
Negron reports that in one month she heard the word “Dick” 500 times at Riot Games. Negron is no longer with Riot Games.
Bosses in a nightclub in Shanghai
This is what allegedly happened to Melanie McCracken: The second plaintiff is Melanie McCracken, who has been working at the LoL studio since 2013.
She believes that she was denied promotions and fair pay. Moreover, she was punished by male supervisors.
She had issues with her direct supervisor after he said that no women should be hired for open higher positions. Additionally, he found it odd to have a man as an assistant.
When she asked him for a higher position, he rejected it.
After McCracken complained to HR about her supervisor, information was leaked to him from there.
McCracken then took a new job, but her supervisor was promoted to the same department. He then told her that she had 5 months to find a new position in the company, or she would be fired.
In her next position, she then worked for the leadership team of Riot Games and received a video showing two of the bosses with scantily clad women in a nightclub in Shanghai.
One of the bosses apparently got the impression that she had leaked the video. This further harmed her career.
Riot Games in the news with sex culture since 2018
Riot has been in the spotlight since August: In August 2018, a report about the work environment at Riot Games appeared on the site Kotaku. It reported a so-called “Bro culture” where sexual innuendos and a rough manner were the order of the day.
They reportedly preferred to hire “aggressive men” who fit the image of the “Core Gamer” over female applicants. These aggressive men were then further promoted. Those who complained about sexism harmed their careers.
This report prompted former employees of Riot Games to come forward and share their stories about the studio behind League of Legends.
This is Riot’s response: Following the Kotaku report, Riot announced plans to work on its work culture and aims to become “more diverse”. A workshop at a gaming fair aimed specifically at women led to conflict with angry male fans who felt excluded.
This ultimately led to the firing of employees who opposed these upset fans.
Additionally, Riot Games has hired a diversity expert for corporate culture.
This is Riot’s statement regarding the lawsuit: Regarding the lawsuit, they state that they do not comment on ongoing legal disputes. However, they take it very seriously and will investigate it thoroughly.
Riot Games remains committed to pursuing a profound and comprehensive evolution of corporate culture to make Riot a place where all Rioters can thrive.
In Destiny 2 offers Spider a new major Wanted bounty this week. This time you need to track down and eliminate the Arcadia Accord. As a reward, powerful gear awaits.
Who is the Arcadia Accord? The Arcadia Accord is the final boss of the new weekly bounty “Wanted: Arcadia Accord”. This Vex enemy has escaped from the Prison of Elders. Now it’s time to hunt him down and eliminate him. You can find the bounty at Spider – the merchant of the Tangled Shore.
What reward do I get? If you successfully complete the bounty, you will receive powerful gear. This is random loot that drops items beyond the soft cap of Power Level 500.
The Arcadia Accord is the only bounty at Spider this week that drops powerful gear. You can use his remaining weekly bounties to reach Power Level 500.
Location and mechanics of Arcadia Accord in Destiny 2
Here’s how to find and defeat the Arcadia Accord:
Step 1: Head to Spider in the Tangled Shore and obtain the corresponding bounty with five Ghost Fragments.
Keep in mind: you need at least a Power Level of 500 to be able to accept the bounty. A Power Level of 540 is recommended. However, in a fireteam, the bounty can also be completed with a lower level. The bounty expires seven days after purchase.
Here you will find the adventure “Wanted: Arcadia Accord”
Step 2: Now fly to Nessus and go to the area “Grove of Echoes”. Look for the adventure “Wanted: Arcadia Accord”. However, note that the corresponding adventure may also spawn in other areas. But no worries – even then, the important mechanics remain the same.
If you don’t find it in the Grove of Echoes, check the other adventure icons until you find the Arcadia Accord. You can find an overview of all Lost Sectors here:
Here is the entrance to the Lost Sector “The Kallus Pit”
Step 3: Once you have found the adventure, accept it and enter the adjacent Lost Sector “The Kallus Pit” (may vary). There you will encounter powerful Vex enemies. So don’t rush in blindly, but proceed with caution. You are not under time pressure.
Follow the path of the Lost Sectors and fight your way up to the top platform in a large room where you will find the initially invulnerable Vex boss Arcadia Accord and some smaller Vex enemies.
This is how you defeat the final boss Arcadia Accord
The wanted Vex boss in his shield and an anomaly above his head
Step 4: Now the boss fight begins. First, take out the smaller Vex. The boss is now standing still and is invulnerable, as he is protected by a shield.
To deactivate the shield, you must destroy anomalies. These are bright blue glowing and conspicuous structures that can appear anywhere in the room. If an anomaly is active, you will receive a corresponding notification on the left side of the screen. The first anomaly is located directly above the boss.
Now destroy the anomaly. When the corresponding notification disappears, you have destroyed all the necessary structures. This will cause the Vex boss to lose his shield and become vulnerable. Now you can deal damage to the boss.
You need to find and destroy these anomalies
After a while, his shield will recharge and new enemies and new anomalies will spawn. Now you must again take out his minions and look for and destroy the new anomalies in order to then fight the boss.
You repeat this until the boss is eliminated. Finally, you must redeem the completed bounty in your inventory. Then you will receive a powerful reward.
Note: The longer you take for the fight, the more anomalies will spawn over time that you need to find and destroy to make the boss lose his shield.

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

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