Ninja plant großes Fortnite-Event an einem der wichtigsten Plätze der Welt

Ninja, the most famous streamer of Fortnite: Battle Royale, wants to make a big splash on New Year’s Eve 2018. He is planning a mega-stream marathon from Times Square in New York!

What does this Ninja have planned this time? Ninja is the most significant streamer in Fortnite and has a massive number of followers who watch his escapades live every day. The streamer is more influential than some professional football players. Now he wants to take it up a notch.

Mega stream from Times Square in New York: On New Year’s Eve, Ninja wants to make a big impact and stream for 12 hours straight from 4 PM on December 31, 2018, until 4 AM on January 1, 2019. That would be from 10 PM to 10 AM in our time.

This time Ninja will not be streaming from home but live at Times Square in New York.

Fortnite Ninja Cash Money title

What is so special about Times Square? For many, New York is the cultural capital of the USA and thus a center of the world. And Times Square is the living heart of the city.

On New Year’s Eve, Times Square becomes one of the most important places in the world. Celebrations are particularly intense there, and at midnight a glowing ball is lowered onto the New York Times building.

Furthermore, numerous performances by musicians and parties take place at Times Square on New Year’s Eve. Therefore, the location is the center of New Year’s parties in the USA, watched by millions of viewers.

Gaming is becoming increasingly popular

Another step towards the mainstream: That Ninja has managed to perform at Times Square during one of the most important times of the year shows yet again how popular Fortnite has become and how much gaming has moved to the forefront of the mainstream.

Therefore, in 2018, alongside performances by artists and other shows, there will also be Ninja’s big stream marathon, which he plans to do from 4 PM in the afternoon until 4 AM the following morning, featuring surprise guests and other special highlights.

Fallout 76: How Trading with Other Players Works

To get better items in Fallout 76, you have many options. Trading with other players is one of the easiest and fastest ways. Here’s how it works.

Trading with other players: Fallout 76 is the first Fallout where multiple players can play together by default. This allows you to easily buy or sell things you have found or crafted.

Fallout 76 CHeering People

How can you trade in Fallout 76?

Find a buyer or seller: To trade in Fallout 76, you need two things:

  • An item for sale or enough Caps for a purchase
  • and a buyer or a seller.

This may sound trivial, but it’s not that easy. West Virginia, where Fallout 76 takes place, is a very large area and only a limited number of people can play on a server. Additionally, other players can also shoot you dead if you’re not careful.

So it may take a while to find someone with whom you can and want to trade.

fallout 76 screen 17

This is how a trade works: Once you have found someone willing to buy your items or sell you things, you just need to meet. Once you are face-to-face, you can start the transaction using the “Offer/Accept Trade” button:

  • Step 1: Approach the player and hold down the “Offer/Accept Trade” button.
  • Step 2: Choose the item you want to sell (or wait for an offer).
  • Step 3: Enter the price the other person should pay and confirm.
  • Step 4: Select the item and press “Offer”.

This way, you are now offering items for sale. The other player can simultaneously offer you their own items for sale, which you can then see in your inventory. Three more steps are needed to complete the trade:

  • Step 5: Interact with the offered items. On Xbox, you need to pull the right trigger for this.
  • Step 6: Select the item and press the “Buy Item” button.
  • Step 7: Confirm the purchase.

What benefits do I get from a trade? By trading in Fallout 76, you can quickly acquire Caps or better weapons and gear. Especially Stimpaks are always useful.

Fallout 76 also offers you the opportunity to craft special and unique weapons. If you find someone who offers them, you can easily buy good gear. If you craft such items yourself, you can secure a good amount of Caps.

The beta of Fallout 76 has already started on Xbox and will soon follow on PS4 and PC. If you are still looking for players for the beta or the release on November 14, feel free to join our Facebook group and visit us on Facebook for more information and news!


Trading will be an important aspect in Fallout 76. Learn more about it in our overview:

WoW: Some Rogues are already playing the Classic demo

At BlizzCon 2018, owners of the Virtual Tickets can play the demo of WoW Classic. Clever players have already found access a week earlier.

Fans are already playing Classic: A leak allowed some players to obtain a working version of the upcoming Classic version of World of Warcraft. They have been playing it for a week before the demo is actually available.

WoW Classic Wallpaper

Playable “WoW Classic” demo leaked before BlizzCon

Demo was supposed to be playable only at BlizzCon: For BlizzCon, Blizzard promised a demo for the upcoming Classic servers of World of Warcraft. Players attending live can play the demo at BlizzCon, while Virtual Ticket holders can play at home.

You can even earn a Virtual Ticket in WoW itself and don’t pay real money for it. If a ticket has been added to your account, you can download the Classic client in advance since October 24.

The downloaded client is not yet functional. The activation for logging in will occur at a later time.

WoW Classic Header

Classic client found on Discord: However, a link to a Google Drive has appeared on some Discord servers, through which players could download a functioning client of the Classic demo.

Through a “sandbox emulator,” this client is tricked into connecting directly with a PC program, instead of as intended with Blizzard servers. This allows players to already log in and play the demo.

The release of the complete version is not expected to happen before 2021.

WoW Tarrens Mill Classic

Different graphics, no NPCs: In the playable version of the Classic demo, there are no NPCs. You cannot accept quests or level up. You can only admire the beautiful landscape.

This landscape has received a bit of improvement. The YouTuber Dodgy Kebaab has published a video comparing the graphics from the 2018 demo with the original game from 2005:

https://youtu.be/iIdf-ML8VIc

The graphic options in the demo are reportedly much more extensive than they were back in the Classic days. There is also a “Classic” button in the menu that switches the graphics between the 2018 demo and original Classic.

What do you think of the preview? Are you excited about Classic and will you play the demo? Or will you stick to “normal” World of Warcraft? Leave us a comment!

Classic has been a while ago, and some players may not even remember it. Here’s what to expect on a vanilla server.

RDR 2: How to get the fur of a legendary bear

One of the many side activities in Red Dead Redemption 2 is hunting. We will show you how to find a legendary bear and what you can do with its fur here.

Hunting in Red Dead Redemption 2 is not just a nice pastime, but also a good way to acquire new clothing or money. The legendary bear is just one of the nearly 200 animals that populate the game world. Where you can find it and what you can craft from its fur can be read here.

Hunt the legendary bear in Red Dead Redemption 2

Here’s how to find the legendary bear: You can easily find the legendary bear, as in the mission “Get Out, Head Down” in Chapter 2, you have the task of tracking down the massive animal. However, the quest is not immediately available at the start of Chapter 2, but will unlock a little later.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Bow and Arrow Title

In the quest, you will be introduced to hunting, cooking food, and crafting. After that, you can try tracking and will soon come across the tracks of the animal.

After the quest, you will need to decide whether to return to camp or confront the bear directly.

Here’s how to take down the bear: If you want to hunt the bear, make sure to have your best gear, upgraded ammunition, and a few potions with you. A rifle with a scope and a full Dead Eye is also helpful. It’s best to save before your hunt.

Once you have spotted the bear, activate Dead Eye and aim for the bear’s weak spots. If the animal gets too close to you, switch to another weapon and shoot at its critical points, such as its head.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Bear

With this tactic, you should be able to take down the bear quickly.

Here we show you where to find the 13 legendary fish.

New Clothing with the Legendary Bear Pelt

What is the pelt good for? With the pelt of a legendary bear, you can go to a trapper who can craft some items from it for you.

If you’re not interested in the bear gear, you can profitably sell the bear’s pelt as well as other hides to the trapper.

The bear hunter gear includes:

  • Bear hat for one legendary bear pelt and $40
  • Bear coat for one legendary bear pelt, one perfect bison hide, and $28
  • Bear boots for one legendary bear pelt, one perfect bull hide, and $34
  • Gloves for one perfect boar hide, two perfect rabbit hides, and $15

Wondrously well hidden Wish 10 in Destiny 2 – And this is what it does

Players have discovered the desire 10 for the Raid Wish Fountain in Destiny 2. It was devilishly well hidden.

Here’s what these wishes are about: In the raid “Last Wish” there is a secret room with a kind of control panel. If set correctly, certain wishes in the raid come true.

Bungie itself has referred to this as a type of “cheat code” for Destiny 2, which triggers mechanics or activates Easter eggs.

This control panel has so many combinations (20 circles with 16 different symbols) that it is nearly impossible to find all wishes through trial and error. Therefore, some wishes are hidden in the world of Destiny.

This is what the 10th wish looks like: The tenth wish has this exact combination.

Wunsch-10-Destiny

This is what the wish does: Once the wish is activated, the Drifter suddenly has a word to say in the raid. He then has text – just like the 9th wish Failsafe gave a voice in the raid. He is in the guardians’ heads, so to speak.

The Drifter is the key person for the new PvE/PvP mode “Gambit” in Forsaken. This is the mode Bungie is so proud of.

Bungie goes all out in hide and seek

This is how the wish was found: The truly exciting part is how extremely well the wish was hidden in Destiny 2. The exact combination of symbols was found on a plate in the game world.

When the raid boss Riven died for the first time more than a month ago, a new map for Gambit was introduced: the Cathedral of Scars. It plays in the Reef. This is the map with the central island that you can jump to.

Cathedral-of-Scars-ArtStation

The then-new Gambit map was intensively searched because everyone thought there had to be a new wish hidden there. However, no one could find it on the map.

Destiny-2-WUnsch

But it was indeed there. The wish stands on a plate behind a crystal. However, it could only be found in the 3rd Gambit round, as the crystal blocked the view of the plate from any possible angle before.

A third Gambit round is only played if it is 1:1 after the first two rounds.

The player MadCatz, who ultimately found the 10th wish, had to jump on a ledge and then look through the scope of his sniper rifle at the spot where the crystal used to be to find the plate with wish 10.

An incredible achievement by the guardians in Destiny from Raidsecrets, who are still as hot for secrets in Destiny 2 as they were back then with the mysterious 6th chest in the Glass Chamber.

Pokémon GO Update 0.125.1 is coming: New information about the fitness feature

The update 0.125.1 in Pokémon GO is being slowly rolled out. Dataminers have already found information about the fitness feature “Adventure Sync” in the code. However, the changes are not live yet.

The new update is being rolled out gradually and should be available to all players in the coming days.

Much about Adventure Sync: In the new update, much revolves around the new fitness feature Adventure Sync, which Niantic announced a few days ago. We will show you what was in the code.

Pokémon GO Fitness Title
This is what the new Adventure Sync can do

The Adventure Sync can do five essential things. These are currently being tested and should soon be available to players.

  • Measuring distance traveled
  • Measuring distance traveled in a wheelchair
  • Counting wheelchair push movements
  • Counting calories burned while walking
  • Counting the time spent on the go

Only in cooperation with other apps: Anyone who wants to use the fitness feature for Pokémon GO also needs another app. Pokémon GO cooperates with the apps HealthKit and Google Fit. Adventure Sync does not work with any other app.

New icons: Along with the fitness feature, several new symbols will be added to Pokémon GO. These are directly related to the new feature.

Pokemon GO new Icons

Hourly Measurements

The new fitness function works with hourly data. It retrieves new values every hour and evaluates them. The function also accesses the most recently retrieved data. It seems to be difficult to trick the system and cheat for bonuses.

Background mode for Pokémon GO: Together with the fitness feature, Pokémon GO will receive a background mode. You do not need to have the app open, and it still evaluates new values in the background.

Connection with smart watch possible: The code also contains several parts that deal with smart watch services. It will likely also be possible to connect your smart watch with Pokémon GO and use the fitness feature through it.

Daily and Weekly Tasks

The code also contained parts that deal with daily and weekly tasks. Players will probably have to achieve certain fitness goals each day or week to receive certain bonuses.

Nidoqueen Pokemon GO 2

First only in the code: It must be emphasized that the listed features were first found only in the code. They may be activated in the next update, but it could also take weeks. Trainers must therefore be patient and wait for Niantic to provide new information about Adventure Sync.

Mainly fitness feature in the code: Much more than new information about Adventure Sync was not found by the dataminers. Besides smaller bug fixes, not much new was found in the code.

What do you think of the new fitness feature? Are you excited about the update?

Have you already encountered the new raid boss Giratina? With these Pokémon, you can take it down.

Here you will find ghost decorations in Fortnite – map with locations

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, you should destroy ghost decorations for the second Halloween challenge. But where is the ghost decor? We will show you!

Part 2 of the Halloween Challenge: For Halloween, Epic has provided you with a special set of challenges. In the second round, the goal is to destroy ghost decorations at various locations. So this is the ideal task for everyone who hates Halloween and ghost decor!

fortnite-deadfire

What can you win? If you complete the ghost decor task and the other challenges from Phase 2, you will receive a special spray paint for the Halloween outfit Deadfire. However, you must first purchase the spooky cowboy in the shop. You do not need him for the challenge itself, and the spray paint can also be used without owning Deadfire.

How to find the ghost decor

The locations of the ghost decorations: Fortunately, the ghost decorations are fairly distributed across the map at most known locations.

The ghost decor must be destroyed at named locations. Only one decoration counts per location. The following locations have ghost decor:

  • Lazy Links
  • Risky Reels
  • Pleasant Parks
  • Snobby Shores
  • Tilted Towers
  • Retail Row
  • Lonely Lodge
  • Greasy Grove
  • Salty Springs
  • Paradise Palms
  • Flush Factory
  • Lucky Landing

Where you can find the decorations is shown in the following map from Dexerto:

fn-geisterdeko

The ghost decor in video form: If you want to see exactly where the decor is located, you can also see it in this video from YouTuber CreativeGaming:

Attention, tryhards: As always, such challenges are often exploited by unwanted tryhards to easily rack up a few kills. Because when you take down ghost decor, you make yourself noticeable, and some nasty campers could be lurking at such decor for unsuspecting victims. So be careful!

If you still want to complete the task from the first phase, you can find a guide to the locations of the water spouts in Fortnite here:

Because Dead by Daylight has too many killers, the developers change Halloween

Killers have long wait times in Dead by Daylight. The reason is the Halloween event – it has turned survivors into killers.

In Dead by Daylight, there can currently be very long wait times for killers on all platforms (PC, PS4, Xbox One). The reason for this is not a programming error in matchmaking but a simple fact: There are far too many killer players in relation to survivors. The culprit is the “Hallowed Blight” event for Halloween.

What happened? Currently, the “Hallowed Blight” event is happening in Dead by Daylight. While survivors harvest special plants, killers must take survivors to special event hooks. This supplied both sides with serum. The problem was that you could only receive the maximum amount of serum if you played both killers and survivors.

Dead by Daylight Hallowed Blight title

Why is this annoying? In a game designed for “4vs1”, matchmaking does not work well when a large portion of survivors also wants to play as killers. This led to long wait times for killers until the lobbies filled up. Frustration was inevitable.

Dead by Daylight Hallowed Blight Banner

This is how the developers are fixing the problem: With a quick hotfix, the developers have already resolved the issue. Now both sides (killers and survivors) can work indefinitely towards the maximum of 60 units of serum. So if you’re still missing serum and have to endure long wait times as a killer, just play as a survivor for a while, and the problem is solved.

Community praises quick response: The otherwise quite cynical Dead by Daylight community is praising the swift action of the developers on Reddit. Gone are the days of “incompetent decisions,” and sensible changes are being implemented more quickly and reliably than a few months ago.

The “Hallowed Blight” event runs until November 2nd. There is still plenty of time to earn the serum and thus the cool shop outfits for killers and survivors.

Have you gotten everything you wanted from the event? Or are you still busy farming?

Sometimes even the killer in Dead by Daylight can be afraid …

Whoever makes their friends to guardians receives rewards in Destiny 2

In Destiny 2 Forsaken will soon launch a “Refer-a-Friend” program. Veterans can embark on an exclusive quest with rookie Guardians, featuring multiple rewards.

Here’s what the Refer-a-Friend program is about: Starting next week, Bungie will launch an online “Referral Program” aimed at providing an extra incentive for veteran Guardians to promote Destiny 2 Forsaken to their friends who don’t own Forsaken yet.

Bungie also wants to attract new Guardians to Forsaken.

destiny-2-halloween-geister

Both the recommending Guardian and the new Guardian who acquires Forsaken must enter into a pact on Bungie.net and can then play a Refer-a-Friend quest line that rewards both parties.

All Info on Refer-a-Friend in Destiny 2 Forsaken

Start date for Refer-a-Friend: As of October 30, 2018, the Refer-a-Friend program will be available alongside the Update 2.0.5.

Requirements for veteran Guardians: A veteran Guardian is defined as a player who owns Destiny 2: Forsaken. Veterans can invite new players to the Refer-a-Friend initiative.

Requirements for new players:

  • A new player is anyone who does not own Destiny 2: Forsaken or has owned it for less than 7 days.
  • If a player has owned Destiny 2: Forsaken for more than 7 days, they can no longer participate as a new player in the referral program.
  • Exception: Players who purchased Forsaken between October 16 and 30 will be considered new players and can be referred until November 7, 2018.

How much time do you have for the exclusive quest? According to Bungie, the quest can be completed at any time once you have qualified for it in a timely manner.

The rewards from the referral quest

Here’s how to claim the rewards: After each quest step of the referral quest, both Guardians – the veteran and the new player – will receive rewards. The quest is primarily about veterans introducing the newcomers to Destiny 2 Forsaken and helping them experience what it feels like to be a Guardian.

These rewards are listed by Bungie:

schiffe

A ship:

prämie-refer-a-friend

A sniper rifle (or an ornament for the Borealis?):

abzeichen

A badge:

Veteran Guardians who lead multiple new players to Destiny 2 Forsaken should receive additional rewards. Bungie showcases this Sparrow:

sparrow

These rewards are quite colorful, with the colors on the Sparrow and the weapon continuously changing and swirling joyfully.

In the evening of October 30, Bungie will release a detailed blog article about this program, which should answer all further questions. You can find the article on Bungie.net.

Refer-a-Friend is starting too late according to fans

Here’s what the first Guardians say: On Reddit, several Guardians have already shared their opinions on this program. The top comment states that the time frame in which a player is considered “new” is much too short.

Many people managed to get their friends to purchase Forsaken within the first two weeks after its launch. The fact that this program is only starting nearly two months after launch is now too late.

Now, most players have already made their final decisions on whether to buy Forsaken or not. The rewards from this program cannot change opinions anymore.

This means that many Guardians are disappointed that they will probably not have a chance to obtain the rewards, even though they already recommended Forsaken to many friends – but just too early.

Do you have friends who bought Forsaken after October 16 or will do so?

Monster Hunter World: Set photos from the film are really upsetting fans

A movie based on Monster Hunter World is currently in the works. For the first time, photos from the set have surfaced, which are more frightening than exciting for the community.

It has been known for some time that a film based on the popular Monster Hunter franchise is in development. With a budget of 60 million it has been in production for almost two years.

The cast features well-known names such as Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil) and T.I. Harris (Antman, Antman and the Wasp) and Ron Perlman (Hellboy, Sons of Anarchy). Now, the first photos from the set have emerged. However, fans’ reactions have been mostly negative.

Monster Hunter world Ron-Perlman-TI-Harris

Photos from the set show a lot of military, but hardly any Monster Hunter

What is seen in the photos? The first image shows actor Diego Boneta in military attire and armed, amongst some rocks in a desert-like terrain. His character is named Sergeant Marshall.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BpSULX8Aynm/?utm_source=ig_embed

The next photo shows several actors including Jovovich, Harris, and Boneta with director Paul W.S. Anderson.

Again, there is nothing that seems related to Monster Hunter, only actors in military uniforms in a desert setting.

monster hunter set

What does this have to do with Monster Hunter? The plot of the movie foresees that the leader of a military unit (Artemis, played by Jovovich) gets caught in a portal during a mission that brings her into the world of Monster Hunter.

There, she encounters hunters with whom she must prevent monsters from invading our world. The plot has been known for some time and fans fear a flop.

At least one photo with Jovovich shows a single item related to Monster Hunter.

monster hunter film jovo

There, she wears a slingshot, as used in Monster Hunter World.

Fans continue to fear the worst

The photos confirm fans in their worst fears. At first glance, they could just as easily be from any typical action film.

The reactions to Bonega’s Instagram photo show just how pessimistic the fans are. Also in the subreddit for Monster Hunter, the mood is tense.

Why fans are concerned: 

  • So far, aside from the slingshot in the Jovovich image, no references to Monster Hunter have been recognizable
  • Fans fear that the film will simply be about soldiers shooting monsters with machine guns
  • The quality of the costumes is also criticized. The slingshot seems cheap to many, cosplayers could do better
  • Some try to take it humorously and ask where to find these armors in the game
  • However, a large part is just angry because they expect a disappointment

What do you think of the photos? Are you concerned as well?

Zombies flood Fortnite: How Epic has responded to the cries for help

The developer of Fortnite responds to the criticism regarding the zombies. There should now be fewer “Cube Monsters” in Fortnite: Battle Royale. They were not well received by some fans. In eSports at TwitchCon, they are completely removed.

For 9 months, Epic has been preparing for the big attack of the Cube Monsters. And now there’s so much stress that they have to backtrack. Because professionals and casual players are sounding the alarm: This is no longer the Fortnite that one knows. Others love the chaos that the zombies bring.

This has changed since Wednesday: Since Wednesday, the Battle Royale in Fortnite has changed significantly. The new Halloween event “Nightmares” is active. And this doesn’t just consist of some Halloween costumes in the shop, but it significantly alters the gameplay.

Now there are PvE monsters everywhere in the game. The “Cube Monsters” are zombies that attack players and their buildings. These AI mobs bring a new element to Fortnite.

fortnite-pve-event-titel-02

Zombies bring chaos to Fortnite

This is the problem: While at the beginning of a game, the Cube Monsters can still be easily eliminated or ignored, they dominate the end of a match and apparently decide more frequently who survives and who gets eaten.

Especially when the eye of the storm converges around a corrupted area, there are many zombies in the endgame.

It becomes more difficult to evade them, and they become a determining game element. They tear down buildings or eat poor cuddle officers.

Here you can see how a fragment of the cube simply appears on a streamer:

Fortnite has simply become a completely different game since Wednesday.

Many say that chance now determines who wins in the end. Apparently, some matches are decided by whether a player is overrun by zombies or not.

fortnite-pve-event-titel-01

This is how the event is received:  The event divides the players into two camps

  • Some find it great because it brings variety and much more chaos overall. Some explicitly advocate for this “playfully wild” element in Fortnite
  • Others reject the event because it changes Fortnite too much, and this chaos disrupts the normal tactics

This is how Epic reacts now:

Epic has now significantly reduced the spawn rates of the zombies. In the first phase, it remains at 85 zombies, but in the further phases, significantly fewer will appear.

  • Phase 2: 25 (previously 40)
  • Phase 3: 15 (previously 30)
  • Phase 4: 7 (previously 10)
  • Phase 5,6: 5 (previously 10)

Therefore, Epic has decided to pull the emergency brake. The grand finale of the tournament Fall Skirmish at TwitchCon will be subject to certain special rules that differentiate it from the current Fortnite. Although they play with Patch 6.20, but:

Overwatch looks really entertaining in the “Dark Souls” style

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.

Overwatch prepare to die die die edition tgn you died

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!


What Overwatch fans can achieve is astonishing. One player has developed a simulation, where you can date Overwatch pros.

Pokémon GO: Field Research November with Ninjatom and Shiny

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.

Shiny Raupy Family Pokemon GO

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.

Available in Research Breakthrough: Ninjatom will be the Field Research breakthrough for the month of November. Players can obtain the Pokémon by completing Field Research on seven days. In October, the Research Breakthrough is the legendary Pokémon Suicune.

Two Evolutions: Ninjatom evolves from the Pokémon Nincada. Nincada can evolve into Ninjatom and into Ninjask.

Ninjatom Pokemon GO

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.

Currently, the Halloween event is running in Pokémon GO – These are the bonuses.

With this tool, you can more easily find groups for Mythic+ in WoW

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.

wow battle for azeroth Taure Nachtgeborene Blutelf title

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.

WoW wowgroupfinder keystone tool
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.

WoW wowgroupfinder lists
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.

WoW Human Orc Laughing title

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!


Buff food is part of the right preparation. With patch 8.1, it will be easier to farm feast items.

Players are shocked: How brutal Red Dead Redemption 2 is

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.

No Heart for Animals

This is how fur is made: One of the side activities in Red Dead Redemption 2 is hunting. The resources can be used for crafting or can be sold.

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.

By the way, some players also treat certain NPCs brutally.

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.

Fortnite: How a women’s team is set to rock eSports

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

fortnite week 4 s6

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.

Fortnite Ninja Cash Money title

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.
