At BlizzCon 2018, the new hero from Overwatch was officially announced. Ashe is now playable on the Overwatch PTR.
Ashe, the Western Outlaw: Ashe was introduced with the new cinematic “Old Friends” at BlizzCon. Since Monday, November 5th at around 9:20 PM, she is also playable on the PTR.
Ashe is an old acquaintance of the hero McCree and the leader of the notorious Deadlock Gang. Who exactly Ashe is and what she can do, you can find out in our article.

New hero and UI overhaul: Along with Ashe, a new patch was released on the Overwatch PTR. This patch brought only one change to the UI with the new hero Ashe. The “Unlock All” option in the hero gallery has been disabled.
The Skins of Ashe: Ashe also receives several skins. Currently, she has four rare, two epic, and two legendary skins. Here’s what they look like:
The rare skins are as usual just different colors of Ashe’s standard appearance.
The epic skins of Ashe have a bit more detail. The logo on Bob’s back and on Ashe’s Viper change.
The legendary skins Gangster and Mafia turn Ashe into a real mafia lady in a pantsuit.
Jungle and Safari make Ashe an adventurer with a ranger hat and jungle rifle.
When will Ashe come to the Live Servers? Typically, such tests take a few weeks. In the last BlizzCon announcement of a hero, Moira, she was playable 10 days after her PTR release.
So Ashe could make it to the Live Servers in roughly 2 weeks. We suspect Tuesday, November 13th or 20th as the release date.
Are you excited about the new hero? Will you play Ashe? Chat with other fans in our Overwatch group and visit us on Facebook for more info and news about Overwatch.
In Pokémon GO two new shinies will soon be available to catch: Shiny Tragosso and Shiny Ponita are on their way to you.
The two shiny forms will be released alongside “Ingress Prime”, another game from Niantic. Ingress Prime is a spin-off of the Ingress game, which was released by Niantic before Pokémon GO. So far, Ingress has been known among Pokémon players for having portals that became PokéStops in Pokémon GO.
In a statement, Niantic explained that this release is also significant for Pokémon GO. There will be a small event to celebrate the release of Ingress Prime.
Shiny Ponita and Shiny Tragosso in Pokémon GO
The new shiny Pokémon Ponita and Tragosso will soon be available to catch worldwide along with their evolutions.
This is what distinguishes the shiny forms: Ponita and Galoppa will have a blue fire tail in their shiny form. Tragosso and Knogga will have a green body in their shiny form.
That’s why the new shinies fit: Tragosso and Ponita were chosen as perfect Pokémon for the release. Their shiny versions are green and blue, matching the team colors that can be chosen in Ingress Prime.
New clothing items: In addition to the new shiny Pokémon, there will also be new clothing items available in the shop. The clothing is supposed to be free for every player. It is also themed around Ingress Prime to support the game, according to Niantic.
When will the new shinies come? A date for the event featuring the shiny Pokémon is not yet known. However, it can be assumed that the event will start soon, as Ingress Prime has already been released.
Update: November 5, 10:20 PM – Trainers report that the shinies are now activated, and the spawns of Ponita and Tragosso have increased.
Shiny Alolan Knogga: This is the first time a shiny Alolan Pokémon can be caught. Players have the chance to get a shiny Alolan Knogga in Level 4 raids.
It is not known whether there are additional bonuses besides the shiny Pokémon.

Shooter fans are already counting the days until the release of Battlefield 5. On November 20, the game launches, attracting many shooting enthusiasts to the setting of World War II.
To ensure you can jump right in at launch, a preload will be offered. You can download Battlefield 5 before the official start and then dive in on November 20 or even a bit earlier.
Different start times: Players on Xbox One were first to begin the preload. This week, PC players will follow, and then PS4 players.
Battlefield 5 preload on PC, PS4, Xbox One – Times
When does the download start on Xbox One? Players on Xbox One can already download Battlefield 5.
When does the download start on PC? If you’re playing on PC, you can start the download as a preorder customer starting November 7 at 14:00. Regardless of which version you preordered.

Fortnite: Battle Royale has apparently made a deal with the US football organization NFL. Therefore, a bunch of football jerseys for your characters will be available soon.
Fortnite meets NFL: Fortnite is known for offering skins for famous sporting events. Therefore, there have already been outfits for the Winter Olympics and for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Now it’s American football’s turn.
Epic has teamed up with the football organization NFL and will soon be releasing a series of skins featuring football jerseys.
What will the skins look like? As with previous sports skins, there will be various archetypes, including female and male skins with different hair and skin colors. The skins will then be customizable.
According to Epic, you will be able to choose from each of the 32 official NFL teams for each skin, as well as numbers 0-99. There is also supposed to be an additional 33rd team related to Fortnite to choose from. This means you will have basically 33 different skins in one outfit.
When will the skins be available? On November 10 at 01:00 AM, the skins will be available in the shop.
What will the skins cost? Epic has not commented on the price so far, but if we take the football skins as a basis, they are likely to be offered as rare skins for 1,200 V-Bucks. That would be 12 Euros per skin.
However, the skins may also be epic, as was the case with the Olympic skins, in which case approximately 15 Euros would be required for each outfit.
The Austrian YouTuber Andy Edition is facing the deletion of his channel about Destiny 2 by YouTube. He believes he sees the culprit in the USA and not among German competitors. To prove his innocence, he shows the videos that received strikes.
This is the backstory: The YouTuber Andy Edition has painstakingly made a name for himself with videos on the story and lore of Destiny 2. Now in September, with Forsaken, success came.
The channel grew. The YouTuber himself was invited to be the Community Focus of Bungie, a global showcase for content creators.
The YouTuber, however, asserts his innocence and cannot explain which guidelines he supposedly violated.
This is the current status: Andy’s channel cannot currently be filled with new videos. There is an active ban. If a third video receives a strike, his channel is threatened with deletion.
This is what fans suspect: Among fans, a search for the “culprit” has erupted.
German-speaking players think it might have been envious competitors. This leads to suspicions and brings a bad mood to the community. Old rivalries and biases are surfacing.
I am quite sure that it wasn’t anyone from the German community
This is what Andy Edition says: He reached out to his fans in a live stream. There he explicitly rules out for himself that it could be a German-speaking competitor.
Andy says he has collaborated with many, speaks to many daily, and gets along well with them. It is impossible that someone reported him.

Andy believes the reports are coming from the USA. There, people from the English-speaking community might be upset that a German-speaking YouTuber with only 30,000 subscribers has made it to the community focus of Bungie – while large YouTubers with 300,000 or 400,000 subscribers have not.
Therefore, he might have been reported by several people.
Andy Edition still cannot explain how exactly his videos violated community guidelines.
In a live stream, he showed the videos so that everyone could see that everything seems to be in order with them.
This is how it will continue: For the moment, Andy Edition has moved to Facebook and writes there in longer postings what he would otherwise have packed into lore videos. He seems to have no choice but to wait until the ban expires or something else happens.
The beta of Fallout 76 shows you the cash shop for the first time. This allows you to grab quirky items using Atom currency, which you can either earn in-game or buy for real money. These are the offers of the Atomic Shop.
It has been clear since the announcement that microtransactions would be included in Fallout 76. With the approaching beta, more and more information has come to light. Now there is full insight into the cash shop.
This is the premium currency of Fallout 76: We have known that there will be a currency that can be obtained for real money or in-game. This is called “Atoms”. In the beta, you can now take a look at the first offers.
Atomic Shop offers pajamas and pink hats
The contents of the Atomic Shop are primarily cosmetic in nature. There are outfits, skins for your Pip-Boy and for the parts of your camp.
What categories are there? Currently (by the end of the beta on November 5) there are:
Outfits,
Skins,
Skins for your C.A.M.P.,
Styles (hairstyles, tattoos, etc.),
Gimmicks for the photo mode,
Emotes
and icons
It is not yet known how often the offers will change. Currently, for example, there is a red striped pajama, an anchor tattoo, and a blue Pip-Boy skin.
How much do the items in the Atomic Shop cost? The price range varies. Icons cost, for example, 50 Atoms, while outfit prices range from 400 to 600 Atoms. The Vault 76 cap alone costs 500 Atoms.
Atomic Shop is not celebrated, but not condemned either
How do players find the cash shop? Most can live with the existence of the Atomic Shop. In the Fallout 76 subreddit, most users are rather laid-back. The user Tyr_The_Wanderer finds the cash shop “reasonable”. There are offers he likes and others that do not interest him much.
The user DarkOpz finds the discussions about real money shops exaggerated:
If you deliver constant DLC and update supply for years, and that for free, cosmetic microtransactions are fine. Especially since they can also be unlocked.
In the Bethesda forum, however, not everyone is thrilled about the prices. One user finds, for example: “After 12 hours of playing, I have 690 Atoms … enough for one pajama. I knew the items would be expensive, but 600 Atoms for underwear?”
Most players agree, though: as long as it stays with cosmetic items, the Atomic Shop is fine. A big question mark remains the real money price of the Atom currency. We will probably only find out at the release of Fallout 76.
In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, there are secret challenges in regular multiplayer, in the battle royale mode Blackout as well as in Zombies. In this guide, we will show you how to master all Dark Ops Challenges in the Blackout mode.
The challenges are specific tasks that reward you with plenty of additional XP or extra merit points and cool calling cards upon success. The Dark Ops Challenges represent a series of special tasks whose requirements are secret and will only be revealed once you have successfully completed them. However, all Dark Ops Challenges in the Blackout mode are now known.
[toc]
How to Complete All Dark Ops Challenges in the Blackout Mode of Black Ops 4
There are a total of 9 hidden secret challenges in the proprietary battle royale mode Blackout. Here you will learn where to find them and what exactly you need to do to successfully complete them and secure your rewards.
By the way: In Blackout, unfortunately, you do not immediately find out if you have successfully completed the respective challenge. You have to wait until the end of a match until you receive a notification. Only then do you have 100% certainty.
Practice Makes Perfect
For this challenge, you need to hit a practice target from a distance of 90 meters at the firing range.
Here you will find the firing range
The long firing range in the north of the range is suitable for this. The weapon does not matter. You can solve this challenge with a pistol just as well as with a sniper including a scope.
This firing lane is perfect for the challenge
Take a few shots at a target of your choice. If it spins, you have hit it, and the challenge should be complete. According to player reports, it is not necessary to hit the bullseye. However, to be completely sure, you should still aim as centrally as possible.
Zombie Jam
For this challenge, you need to activate the jukebox in the diner.
Here you will find the diner
Once you arrive at this fast-food restaurant, you just need to go inside and interact with the unmistakable jukebox.
This is the jukebox you need to start
Once you have done that, music will play, and you have successfully completed the challenge.
Red Light, Green Light
This challenge requires you to be the first to find and loot a supply crate in the Cargo Docks area, which can spawn at one of three possible positions.
You can find the buoys under which the crate can spawn at these 3 positions
The crate is underwater and appears beneath one of the 3 buoys that float in the water at the Cargo Docks. Once you have found it, you only need to loot it. The content of the crate is not important.
This is what the crate looks like
For this challenge, you just need to be quick. Otherwise, it can be completed relatively quickly.
Open The Blast Doors
In this challenge, you need to open the protective gates at the Fracking Tower.
Here you will find the building with the switch
Once you arrive in the area, you need to go to the building in the middle of the industrial site with the distinctive tower numbered 58.
You need to go into this building
Once you are inside, you just need to activate the unmistakable switch. This will open the protective doors in the facility’s floor.
The switch with a view of the blast doors in the floor
You can also open the room in the underground part of the facility, but if you go through the control room of the tower, you can hardly miss the switch.
Back in the Ground
This challenge requires you to kill 100 zombies in Blackout. You can find most of them in the Asylum area.
You will frequently encounter zombies at these locations
You do not have to get all the kills in one match. As soon as you have taken down a total of 100 undead, the challenge is complete.
Stay Tuned
Here you need to activate the emergency radio transmission at the antenna in the Array area.
Here you will find the corresponding radio setup
To do this, you must go to the central building with the radar dish and visit the control room there.
You need to go into this building
You will recognize the control room by the numerous control consoles located there.
The console with the green light is the correct one
Now search for a console with an unmistakable green light. Interact with this control unit, and you activate the emergency transmission. The challenge is done.
Respect Your Elders
Here you must pay your respects to Tanbor Fudgely.
This small village is your destination
Head to the small village by the bridge connecting the areas Fracking Tower and Turbine. There you will find a monument.
Look for this monument
Once you have found it, stand on the last stone slab in front of this monument and interact with it.
This is how you pay your respects
Your character should bow in front of the portrait plate on the monument, and the challenge is complete.
Baller
For this challenge, you must demonstrate your basketball skills.
Here you will find a basketball hoop including ball
To do this, find a basketball hoop and a ball. Interact with the ball and pick it up. With the next button press, you can throw it. As soon as you succeed in scoring, you have also mastered this challenge.
Fist Fighter
The last Dark Ops Challenge is also the hardest. Because you must defeat an enemy with your bare fists.
With fists, you hardly deal any damage. So you need to be quick and catch someone who hasn’t picked up a weapon or armor yet. Otherwise, you basically have no chance.
By the way: it doesn’t count in team modes to down someone with firearms and then finish them off with fists. The game demands a clean fistfight here.
In this video by PrestigeIsKey, you can take a detailed look at the challenges again:

Without the internet, nothing works in the announced mobile game Diablo Immortal. As game designer Wyatt Cheng explains, the game requires a connection to the internet.
Diablo Immortal is an online game where interacting with other players is important. Therefore, it will not be possible to play offline.
No Offline Mode in the New Diablo
Diablo Immortal requires an internet connection: It shouldn’t be a surprise since most mobile games require an internet connection to play, and Diablo Immortal is an online game focused on multiplayer. Nevertheless, Blizzard’s game designer Wyatt Cheng confirmed that you cannot play the action RPG offline.
You are navigating in an online world where many other players are present
Interaction among players is important
You experience adventures together
Diablo fans are accustomed to the internet requirement since Diablo 3. Here, too, an internet connection is necessary to play.
How Players React: It is currently difficult to find neutral opinions, as the mood among fans is still very charged. After all, the announcement of Diablo Immortal as a mobile game at Blizzcon did not go down well.
However, amidst all the outcries about the game, there is also a sense that many see it as completely normal for a mobile game – and specifically a multiplayer game – to require an internet connection.
For instance, a fan wrote on VG247: “This is quite normal for mobile games. No big deal.”

Always-On Can Cause Problems: However, a mandatory internet connection, especially for a mobile game, can lead to issues.
A dead zone can lead to connection drops
A poor mobile data connection can cause lags
Widespread, stable internet via mobile is important to play anywhere – which is still not available in places like Germany
Especially in an action RPG where reaction is crucial, a poor internet connection can lead to frustration. The developers are aware of this. Designer Wyatt Cheng explained in an interview with Inven that he is not sure if a mobile platform can offer a hardcore mode, which has always been part of Diablo.
The team will have to think further about how to handle network issues and a hardcore mode, according to Cheng.
Will Diablo Immortal be a Free2Play Game? Blizzard is currently still tight-lipped about the monetization of Diablo Immortal. Players suspect that it will be released as a free-to-play title and therefore fear pay-to-win elements.
Regarding this, designer Wyatt Cheng stated in an interview with Inven: “It is hard to say how we will approach this problem from a business perspective, but past Blizzard games are a good reference for this.”
Blizzard Has Not Forgotten the Core Fans of Diablo: The announcement of Diablo Immortal as a mobile game elicited a lot of criticism from fans. However, Blizzard wants the community to know that they have not forgotten the core players.
Blizzard’s Allen Adham stated in an interview with Digital Trends: “I can tell you, we haven’t forgotten you. We will have more news in the future. We are hardcore fans of Diablo on PC and consoles. Diablo is an important brand at Blizzard, and we continue to work on many things surrounding Diablo.”

The developer Riot Games has released a new video for their MOBA game League of Legends, modeled after typical Korean pop videos.
What is the video for? To promote a new series of K/DA skins, the developer has released a new video featuring the champions Ahri, Evelynn, Kai’Sa, and Akali dancing to fat K-Pop beats. Riot has hired the French company Fortiche to create the highly elaborate video.
What are K/DA skins? The K-Pop outfits of the four LoL champions actually have some lore entries as well. In an alternate universe, the four champion girls have managed to make it big with their K-Pop band K/DA. Their music has taken Korea by storm, and now the divas hope that their world tour will be a success.
In League of Legends, not only characters become pop stars:
The Dead Eye system is also back in Red Dead Redemption 2. How it works and how it has evolved is explained to you in Charles’ latest video.
Dead Eye is an important component in the Red Dead games and this system is also present in RDR 2. Dead Eye allows you to slow down time in critical situations and take out your enemies one by one with well-placed shots. Everything you need to know about this feature has now been compiled by Charles in a new video.
Dead Eye evolves in the story
One of the most important aspects of Dead Eye is that it evolves during the main story. The further you progress in the plot, the more helpful the feature becomes.
Rank 1: Unlocked in Chapter 1 during the quest “Old Friends”. Dead Eye automatically marks targets when you move the crosshair over them.
Rank 2: Unlocked in Chapter 2 during the quest “Spilling Oil”. This rank allows multiple targets to be marked with RB on Xbox One and R1 on PlayStation 4.
Rank 3: Unlocked in Chapter 4 during the quest “Banking, the Old American Art Form”. Dead Eye remains active while you fire your weapon without marking a target.
Rank 4: Unlocked in Chapter 5 during the quest “Transitory Joy”. Dead Eye can now display weak points for critical hits on your enemies, such as the heart and head. This is particularly useful for one-shot kills while hunting.
Rank 5: Unlocked in Chapter 6 during the quest “Goodbye, Dear Friend”. Dead Eye can now show weak points for critical hits on your enemies, such as the lung or abdomen. This way you may not be able to stop large animals with a single hit while hunting, but you can slow them down enough to track them effectively.
Various tonics or a good night’s sleep recharge your Dead Eye. You can find out more about this and the challenges you can undertake to further improve the feature in the video.
How far have you progressed with your Dead Eye? Which rank do you like the most?
Overwatch received its 29th hero, Ashe, at BlizzCon 2018. Overwatch head Jeff Kaplan has confirmed in an interview that even the next six heroes are already planned.
Heroes for several years: In an interview with Eurogamer, Jeff Kaplan talked about the upcoming heroes in Overwatch. Six more are already in planning, which means “years” (of content) for Overwatch.
Which new heroes are coming?
We already know one hero: In the new cinematic “Old Friends”, the hero McCree meets three characters who have already been named:
Echo has now been confirmed as one of the next heroes. According to Kaplan, the android was among the first heroes ever planned and is even found in the first concept drawings. However, many fans still thought she was Winston’s AI, Athena.
What was originally thought to be Athena is now revealed to be Echo.
Who else could come? During the opening ceremony of BlizzCon 2018, where the new cinematic for Overwatch was also shown, Kaplan mentioned several characters. The video also features nameless bandits from the Deadlock Gang. Kaplan specifically addressed a masked trio and one of the snipers.
Of course, this was mainly for show and to announce Ashe. At Blizzard, such less subtle and very openly hidden references happen more frequently. It’s possible that the gangsters might yet receive names.
For BlizzCon 2018, Blizzard also presented some earlier concepts, including the increasingly popular “Jetpack Cat.” This was even briefly mentioned by lead story writer Michael Chu in the voice actor panel. There are also possible other heroes in these.
Jetpack Cat, anyone?
When are the new heroes coming? According to Kaplan, there is no precise schedule, other than that the six heroes mean “years” for us [Overwatch]. Although Echo has been confirmed as one of the upcoming heroes, she is not the next hero after Ashe.
Ashe, on the other hand, is set to appear soon on the PTR. Kaplan also hinted at the timeline of the evening of Monday, November 5th (our time).
An early concept – Echo can also be seen here. Are more of these heroes coming?
Diablo Immortal was announced at BlizzCon 2018 as a new mobile game in the Diablo universe. The developers at NetEase have now revealed new details to Chinese media.
After many negative reactions from fans to the announcement of Diablo Immortal and Blizzard’s response, there are now new details about the game that everyone is upset about. For Diablo Immortal, Blizzard is collaborating with the Chinese company NetEase, which will take on much of the development. NetEase has already discussed the engine of Diablo Immortal and other details with Chinese media.
Here are the plans for Diablo Immortal so far
Own engine for development: NetEase has confirmed that the game engine “Messiah” will be used for the development of Diablo Immortal. NetEase developed Messiah in 2010 and has already used it for game projects in 2013.
Messiah is designed to best create 3D games for mobile. Through a partnership with Qualcomm, Messiah is optimized for Qualcomm’s mobile chips. These chips are found in gaming smartphones like the new ASUS ROG Phone .
Messiah supports various technologies for mobile gaming. These aim to minimize the amount of detail lost while playing.
A “brighter” Diablo: According to NetEase, Diablo Immortal will not be as “dark” as “the PC game” – presumably a reference to Diablo 3. However, it is not entirely clear what NetEase means by that:
The story could be less “bleak” as skeletons are not depicted in China
or the game could visually become “brighter” as dark colors are not well recognized and distinguished on mobile
Diablo Immortal is said by Blizzard not to be released on PC. Instead, Android and iOS players share the servers. However, NetEase itself has no problem with fans playing Diablo Immortal on PC via emulators.
Looks quite dark: Diablo Immortal.
More quality at unknown price: Currently, NetEase is working to increase the quality of Diablo Immortal. Therefore, the focus is not currently on potential features such as:
Guilds
PvP
Transmogrification
Auction houses, etc.
After the accusation that Diablo Immortal is just a copy, fans have already feared a massive “pay-to-win” game. However, there is still no concrete information about a payment model. According to NetEase, the business model is “not set in stone.”
What do you expect from Diablo Immortal? Will you give the game a chance or not? Let us know in the comments!
Bless Online will soon receive new game content. The update “The Ruins of Shaqqara” brings two new zones, increases the level cap, and lets you experience a new group dungeon.
The publisher of Bless Online, Neowiz, has announced the upcoming content update that players can look forward to soon.
The level cap rises to 50
The MMORPG Bless Online was released about two weeks ago as a free-to-play version on Steam. The upcoming content update is expected to provide players with new content.
When is the update coming? Players will be able to try out the new content starting from November 7, 2018.
These are the contents of the update:
You can explore two new zones: a burning desert full of nasty creatures and the ruins zone Shaqqara.
Level cap increased from 45 to 50. To take on royal quests, you must reach the new level cap after the update.
The new dungeon Zeetos Lab (Normal) is waiting to be explored by you. There you will encounter many new bosses and can obtain valuable equipment. The dungeon is designed for 5 players and can be entered starting at level 50.
At BlizzCon, the patch 8.2 of World of Warcraft was discussed. We reveal all the details about Azshara and Nazjatar.
The BlizzCon 2018 is over, and slowly but surely, all information is being gathered regarding upcoming content. What is going on in Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance is already known. However, many contents of “Patch 8.2 Rise of Azshara” remain in the dark – we will show you which details have already been revealed.
Fans have long waited to finally explore Nazjatar, the homeland of the Naga. With Patch 8.2, this wish is finally fulfilled. However, Nazjatar is not a purely “underwater” area! Instead, the Horde and Alliance discover that there is a large “rift” in the sea. In this chasm, there is air, numerous waterfalls, and thus familiar terrain that can be explored without much swimming.
A small insight into the various sub-zones was given by Jeremy Feasel from Blizzard in his presentation at BlizzCon:
Ship Graveyard: Many ships have fallen into the abyss and crashed here. The Alliance and Horde both have their starting point in two separate camps.
Kelp Forests: A large area, similar to a forest. However, a lot of seaweed grows here, which was recently underwater.
Boiling Terraces: Hot springs bubbling up from the depths of the planet.
Coral Forests: Large coral reefs freed from the water.
Ruins of Zin’Azshara: Part of the ruins of the former high culture of night elves, which we also saw in “Warbringer: Azshara”.
All areas are of course full of Naga – after all, this is their capital.
New Raid: Azshara’s Eternal Palace
At the center of Nazjatar is Azshara’s seat of power, the “Eternal Palace”. This will be a new raid in Patch 8.2, where players will confront Azshara at the end.
Some details about the Eternal Palace have already been published. The raid features:
A total of 8 bosses
One of them is Queen Azshara
There might even be an “underwater” boss
Additionally, we will see a lot of Naga culture. For instance, there is a “breeding ground” that will shed light on how Naga actually reproduce – something that all of Goldshire has been waiting for.
Focus on “replayable Content”
In Nazjatar, the developers want to place a strong focus on content that can be replayed. This includes world quests but also “new systems” that haven’t been elaborated on yet. However, inspiration for this has been drawn from many old areas – such as the Timeless Isle, the Isle of Thunder, Argus, and Auchindoun from “The Burning Crusade”.
In any case, there will also be the “usual” activities in the area, such as new pet battles. Who wouldn’t want to have this little baby Naga in their collection?
And yes: It really fights with a fork. For a real trident, it probably still needs to grow.
Are you looking forward to the showdown against Azshara? Or do you find it a pity that another major character from Warcraft lore will likely meet their end?

In Fortnite: Battle Royale, the young streamer and professional gamer Bogdan Akh was active and successful. Therefore, he was also at the finale of the big Fall Skirmish tournament in San Jose. There, the Swede passed away at the age of just 21.
What happened? Bogdan was a Swedish gamer and Fortnite professional. Together with his duo partner Dominik “RazZzero0o” Bergmann, he was at the TwitchCon in San Jose, USA. There, the finale of the second big official Fortnite tournament Fall Skirmish took place.
Bogdan and RazZzero0o trained hard for over 2 months for the tournament and placed 18th overall. This earned them $10,000, which easily covered the costs of the trip and provided the two guys with a nice cushion for a planned sightseeing trip through California.
The two players had prepared intensively for the tournament for 2 months and played Fortnite together every day.
Tragic Death After Tournament
Player dies unexpectedly: On the morning of October 29, 2018, RazZzero0o woke up and wanted to push Bogdan’s arm away, which was lying in his half of the bed. According to his own statement, he then realized that something was not right.
Bogdan was dead.

The night before, RazZzero0o went to bed shortly before Bogdan.
Out of respect for the deceased’s family, RazZzero0o kept the incident secret at first. He did not want the relatives to learn about their family member’s death via social media.
Cause of death unclear: What led to the death of the just 21-year-old player was not disclosed. In a statement, RazZzero0o mentioned that the preparation and the event were very intense and that both had trained hard.
After all, they were under pressure to succeed, as otherwise they would have struggled with the costs of the trip.

Petition for Bogdan Memorial Emote: Bogdan was popular among his fans. He was considered a friendly and funny guy. Therefore, shortly after his death, a petition was submitted to Epic. The developers are to include the phrase “Back To Lobby” as an emote in the game.
This phrase was Bogdan’s catchphrase whenever he eliminated someone in the game.
During BlizzCon 2018, the Lead Hero Designer of Overwatch, Geoff Goodman, talked about the development of the heroes. Reworks are not planned for the time being.
No plans for reworks: In an interview, Goodman provided some insights into the development and revision of the heroes of Overwatch. According to him, no rework is currently planned, and he even hopes that they can completely stop.
Reworks have a big impact on the meta
What changes with reworks? According to the US site VG247, reworks of heroes often have a significant impact on the metagame, which is currently the best way to win the game.
This is particularly evident in the reworks of Mercy, which have influenced the frequency of her use and many team compositions. Also, Hanzo’s rework, since which he is one of the top DPS at higher ranks, has made a significant impact.
After the last rework on Torbjörn, the team is happy that “the roster is settling a bit”. No further revisions are planned for the time being.
There have been discussions about reworks: However, the decision was not made immediately after Torbjörn’s revision. Internally, there were discussions about whether the hero Bastion needed a rework.
According to Goodman, he has his place in Overwatch. Because he occupies a niche and due to his firepower, it is unclear whether Bastion will ever receive a rework.
Reworks should stop, balance updates will continue: Blizzard could even completely stop reworking heroes indefinitely. Goodman mentioned that he hopes that the revisions can be stopped “sometime”.
We currently have no plans to rework anyone, but that doesn’t stop us from [doing it anyway] if the game changes in a way that makes it necessary again.
However, changes to the balance will continue to come. Jeff Kaplan already indicated this in a stream when he spoke about balance changes to Doomfist that could be coming soon to the PTR.
With the Forsaken expansion, the mod system of Destiny 2 has been revamped. We will show you all the new armor mods and explain what they do in detail.
Since the release of Forsaken, Guardians can upgrade their armor with numerous mods. But what armor mods are available? And what exactly can they do? The following information should help you find the right mods for your individual needs.

The new armor mods in Destiny 2 – What you should know
This is why mods are worth it: With mods, you can give your Guardian’s armor pieces an extra personal touch and optimize them for different playstyles or situations. Just like perks, mods enhance specific aspects of your armor. From a shorter cooldown for your super to special raid mods, the new system has a lot to offer.
This is important for choosing mods: The choice of the right armor mods, just like the choice of weapon mods or armor perks, mainly depends on your individual preferences and playstyle. Do you play primarily PvP or PvE? Do you want to deal extra damage in the raid or have your abilities recharge faster?
These insights should make it a little easier for you to put together the right armor sets for your needs.
How to get armor mods in Destiny 2
The following options are available: Since the revamp, mods have become rarer. In Year 2, they can only be obtained by dismantling suitable armor pieces that already contain mods or in exchange for mod components at the gunsmith.
The following armor pieces can be equipped with mods
Armor pieces from Year 1 are compatible with new mods: All legendary armor pieces have a mod slot – including those from Year 1. Armor mods from Year 2 can be used on armor pieces from Year 1 as well as on armor from the second year. Furthermore, all exotic armor drops have a chance to be equipped with a mod.
The following armor mods are available in Destiny 2
What armor mods can be obtained? Currently, there are a total of 13 armor mods in Destiny 2:
Impact Mod
Projectile Mod
Model Mod
Super Mod
Mobility Mod
Recovery Mod
Resilience Mod
Riven’s Curse
Overworldly Blessing
Possessed Armament
Possessed Barrier
Possessed Regeneration
Possessed Reclamation
By the way: Riven’s Curse can only be found on armor pieces from the Dreaming City set. Overworldly Blessing can be obtained through the Cleansing Ritual. The Possessed mods are only obtained from the Forsaken raid “Last Wish”.
What armor mods can do in Destiny 2
The armor mods in Destiny 2 can be categorized into four broad categories based on their effects:
Impact Mod: This mod shortens the cooldown time of your melee attack. This effect can stack as follows for Warlocks and Titans:
Without mods or perks, the cooldown time of your melee ability is 1:21
With one mod: 1:03
With two mods: 0:51
With three mods: 0:43
With four mods: 0:37
With five mods: 0:33
For Hunters, the cooldown of the melee attack takes longer:
Without mods or perks: 1:35
With one mod: 1:14
With two mods: 1:00
With three mods: 0:50
With four mods: 0:44
With five mods: 0:38
With corresponding armor perks, these times can be reduced even further.
Projectile Mod: This mod shortens the cooldown time of your grenades. This effect can stack as follows:
Without mods or perks, the cooldown time of the grenade ability is 1:21
With one mod: 1:03
With two mods: 0:51
With three mods: 0:43
With four mods: 0:37
With five mods: 0:33
Overall, the cooldown of the grenade ability can be reduced by 48 seconds with this mod.
Model Mod: This mod shortens the cooldown time of your Guardian’s respective class abilities. The times change with the increasing number of Model mods:
Hunter (Dodge):
Without mods or perks, the cooldown time of this class ability is 0:24
Without mods or perks, the cooldown time of this class ability is 0:36
With one mod: 0:28
With two mods: 0:22
With three mods: 0:19
With four mods: 0:16
With five mods: 0:14
Warlock (Rift):
Without mods or perks, the cooldown time of this class ability is 1:24
With one mod: 1:03
With two mods: 0:50
With three mods: 0:43
With four mods: 0:37
With five mods: 0:32
With corresponding armor perks, these times can be reduced even further.
Super Mod: This mod shortens the cooldown time of your super. The effect can also stack up to 5x:
Without mods or perks, the cooldown time of the super is 5:00
With one mod: 4:37
With two mods: 4:18
With three mods: 4:02
With four mods: 3:47
With five mods: 3:34
Overall, the cooldown of the super can be shortened by 86 seconds with mods alone. With corresponding armor perks, these times can be reduced even further.
The effects of Attribute Mods
Mobility Mod: This mod increases your Guardian’s mobility by one point up to a maximum value of 10.
Recovery Mod: This mod increases your Guardian’s recovery by one point up to a maximum value of 10.
Resilience Mod: This mod increases your Guardian’s resilience by one point up to a maximum value of 10.
The effects of Dreaming City Mods
Riven’s Curse: With this mod, you deal more damage in the Dreaming City and in the raid “Last Wish”, but you also take more damage there – and from all sources. This mod can stack up to 5x. Here’s how the effect changes:
With one mod: +5% outgoing damage, +1-2% incoming damage
With two mods: +10% outgoing damage, +2-4% incoming damage
With three mods: +15% outgoing damage, +4-6% incoming damage
With four mods: +20% outgoing damage, +6-8% incoming damage
With five mods: +25% outgoing damage, +8-10% incoming damage
The additional damage buff is significantly larger than the damage you take yourself. Additionally, the extra damage can stack with all other damage buffs.
Warning: Currently, it seems that the incoming damage effect of this mod is bugged. Players do deal more damage, but they do not take additional damage from enemies. The effect is currently identical to that of Overworldly Blessing.
Overworldly Blessing: With this mod, you deal more damage in the Dreaming City and in the raid “Last Wish”. This mod can also stack up to 5x. Here’s how the effect changes:
With one mod: +5% outgoing damage
With two mods: +10% outgoing damage
With three mods: +15% outgoing damage
With four mods: +20% outgoing damage
With five mods: +25% outgoing damage
The additional damage can stack with all other damage buffs. Whether it is intentional that Overworldly Blessing and Riven’s Curse behave almost identically or if it’s a bug is currently unknown.
The effects of Possessed Mods
Possessed Armament: If you defeat possessed enemies with grenades, this mod gives you a chance for additional power ammunition. Whether the effect can stack is currently unknown.
Possessed Barrier: If you take damage from possessed enemies, this modification reduces the damage you take by 20% for 10 seconds afterwards. The effect apparently has no cooldown and cannot be stacked.
Possessed Regeneration: If you defeat a possessed elite enemy (yellow health bar), your class ability is fully replenished. This effect cannot stack.
Possessed Reclamation: If you destroy a possessed shield, this modification fully replenishes your grenade ability. This effect cannot stack.
In Pokémon GO, more and more players around the world can submit PokéStops. We will show you how it works.
Finally have a few more PokéStops in the village or maybe even an Arena! The dream of many players is about to come true. Niantic is currently testing a system for submitting PokéStops in several countries.
Only for some players: So far, no one in Germany can directly submit PokéStops for Pokémon GO. The feature is currently being tested in Brazil, South Korea, Thailand, and Mexico. There, Level 40 players can submit new proposals for PokéStops.
We will show you how the system works and explain what requirements need to be met.
No PokéStops? – Guide to Applying for Stops 2018
In the following steps, we explain how submitting PokéStops works. The system is currently only available in beta version. So it is possible that something may still change.
Find an interesting location that you would like to submit.
2. Open your settings in the game and tap on “New PokéStop” (this button only appears for players who can also submit a stop).
3. A map will open, where you should place an orange PokéStop at the location where the PokéStop should be (if there is already a PokéStop nearby, you cannot place a new stop there).
4. Confirm your selection if the PokéStop has been placed correctly.
5. Now take a picture of the object you want to submit. Pay attention to the quality of the image and ensure that no people are recognizable (failure to meet the criteria may result in rejection of the PokéStop).
6. Now take a picture of the surrounding area of the object. The community that evaluates the PokéStop can then see if the surroundings are suitable for a PokéStop.
7. Give the potential PokéStop a name and a description. Ensure that the title best describes the object and the description provides additional information about the location.
8. Now check all information for accuracy. If everything is correct, confirm your proposal.
9. In the last step, you can write to the reviewers of the proposal why this proposal should be approved. This text can only be read by the reviewer and will not be published.
10. Now the community reviews your proposal. This can take a few weeks or even months. You will be contacted via email and informed of the decision. If the proposal is accepted, there will be a new stop at that location in the world of Pokémon GO.
These criteria must be considered when proposing PokéStops
Not every interesting object is a new PokéStop. There are some guidelines that dictate which objects can become a PokéStop.
These places are ideal for PokéStops:
A historical place and a place with an interesting history
An artwork or special architecture (statues, paintings, mosaics, etc.)
A hidden gem or a locally known place (restaurants, hotels, etc.)
Public parks, libraries, or cultural sites
Transit stations like train stations or stops
The descriptions for PokeStops are “unique”
These places are not suitable for PokéStops:
Places that are not accessible to pedestrians (e.g., on highways)
Private property
Places that disrupt the operation of hospitals or fire and police stations
Places on the grounds of kindergartens or elementary schools
Places that are natural formations (e.g., a waterfall or a mountain)
Objects that are not permanently located (e.g., Ferris wheel at a fair)
Places that serve adult entertainment (gun shops, liquor stores, etc.)
What you should know about stop submissions
The stop submission system is primarily intended for players who have few PokéStops in their area. If you successfully submit a proposal, it will result in a PokéStop.
When will the feature come to Germany? This system is currently being tested only in a few countries and is not available worldwide. How long these tests will last is not known. However, if the tests are successfully completed, the system could soon come to Germany.
Who can submit PokéStops?
Which countries can already submit stops? Submitting PokéStops is currently possible only in Brazil, South Korea, Thailand, and Mexico. Niantic is currently testing a beta version there. They are gradually expanding the test area and additional countries are being added.
Requirement is Level 40: In the aforementioned countries, not every player can submit PokéStops. Only players who are Level 40 and are not registered with the Pokémon Kids Club can submit PokéStops.
Is there a limit for submissions? So far, you can only submit seven PokéStops every 14 days. This prevents unlimited new requests from being made.
This is what the system in Germany could look like: One can assume that this system will only be usable for Level 40 players.
In the game Ingress, which is also by Niantic, only players with a minimum level can submit new portals (comparable to PokéStops). It seems plausible that this will also be the case in Pokémon GO. This could also be an incentive when you are Level 40 and have no more motivation.
Great feature for village players: For players living in small towns with few PokéStops, this feature could be fantastic. Village players could receive items or field research there and have a location where more Pokémon spawn.
What do you think of this system? Are you excited that soon you can submit PokéStops?
In the Dungeon Waycrest Manor of World of Warcraft there is a musical secret. It has just been revealed.
World of Warcraft is full of many small and larger secrets. Besides particularly challenging puzzles like the Timegolding or the creepy pet B’aal, the developers have also integrated smaller Easter eggs and secrets. One of them can be found in Waycrest Manor – a macabre concert.
What is the secret? If you defeat five specific witches in Waycrest Manor and return to the entrance hall after completing the dungeon (that is, after the last boss), you have to wait a few minutes. After some time, the organs start playing familiar tracks from other Blizzard games – of course in a creepy organ version.
How to find the witches? The witches are not visible at the beginning and hide in various parts of the manor – in the rooms and corridors. They appear when you approach cursed organs that can be found throughout the manor. The corresponding organs have the typical “blue-black glow” of Drustvar witch magic. If you defeat one of the witches, a loud organ noise occurs (as if you were pressing all the keys at once) – the signal that this organ is now “freed”.
To find all the organs, you also need to defeat trash mobs that you would probably have left standing in a regular run.
So far, the secret has only been revealed in the mythic mode of Waycrest Manor. Whether it can also be found in the normal and heroic modes remains to be seen.
Blizzard had to help: The crucial hint for the puzzle was given this time by Blizzard during a panel at BlizzCon. When it came to the music and sound effects of World of Warcraft, the developers explained that there was still “a hidden thing” related to the organs. Less than a day later, the puzzle was solved.
