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

In Destiny 2 we show you all Lost Sectors, their locations, and entrances. This is how you find them and grab the loot.
The open-world activities in Destiny 2 include the Lost Sectors. These are hidden mini-dungeons, where a boss and a chest full of loot always await you. On each location, namely in the EDZ, Nessus, Titan, Io, Mars, as well as in the Tangled Shore and the Dreaming City, there are several of them. Only Mercury offers just one.
Your task in a Lost Sector is to eliminate the boss, which grants you a loot key. With it, you can loot the chest found at the end of each Lost Sector.
The real task, however, is to get into a Lost Sector first!
When searching for a Lost Sector, first take a look at your map. The Sectors are displayed on the map with this symbol:
However, you cannot mark a Lost Sector – meaning, only the approximate location is shown, the game does not lead you automatically inside. You have to find the entrance yourself.
In the open world, you should look out for these symbols:
The symbol of a Lost Sector in the EDZ
These symbols indicate: The entrance to a Lost Sector is nearby!
All Lost Sectors in the EDZ – Locations
The YouTubers HarryNinetyFour, PunchNshoot, and Speer Gaming lead you in their videos to the locations of all Lost Sectors in the various worlds of Destiny 2.
By the way: In square brackets, you will initially find the time indication, followed by the region (bold) and the German name of the respective sector. Finally, there are the English original names of the sectors in parentheses.
In this video, the Lost Sectors of the EDZ on Earth are shown. We give the times below:

Everyone knows this feeling: You wait for the release day of a highly anticipated game like a little kid. It can’t come soon enough. And when the game finally arrives, you want to play it as long as possible. We want to know from you: Have you ever taken a vacation or skipped school and university for a game?
Red Dead Redemption 2 is finally out. A game that thousands of gamers have waited for a long time. So it’s not surprising that some students may not be as diligent with their responsibilities and lectures on release day as they usually would be.
As an adult responsible person, you can’t afford to skip. Instead, it’s common for gamers to sacrifice a few days of their precious vacation time for the release of a game or expansion.
The long development time that a video game must go through before release increases gamers’ impatience and the urge to play it as long as possible. You want to see and discover everything right away, experience the story, try out the latest weapons and game mechanics, and test whether the horse balls really shrink in the cold.
The MeinMMO team knows this situation.
Tarek says: We played Halo 4 at school during the release. Connected a projector to the Xbox during lunch break and just played. The teachers looked annoyed, but said nothing.
Patrick shares: One of my teachers played World of Warcraft. He was around 50 at that time and after the release of WoW: Wrath of the Lich King, he was “sick” for a few days. At that time, we all played WoW and naturally knew what was going on.
Irie confesses: I skipped school like a champion. Every time a major release or update came, I wanted to be the first to play it. So it happened that my family doctor, who happened to be a family friend, “sick-listed” me for a few days. (I still graduated without any issues).
But now it’s your turn! Did you skip school like Irie, or were you always the good students? Or did you take vacation from work to thoroughly play a game at release? Tell us!

Bethesda has announced the official system requirements for the online role-playing game Fallout 76. There are minimum specs and recommended ones. This way, you know what PC you need to enjoy the post-apocalyptic world.
While owners of an Xbox One can already play the Fallout 76 Beta, PC gamers still have to wait a bit. Time to maybe upgrade the computer.
This PC is needed for Fallout 76
These are the system requirements for Fallout 76 on PC: While console owners can simply start playing on PS4 and Xbox One without worrying too much about the hardware, it is different on PC.
Games have specific hardware requirements that should be met to play comfortably. Bethesda has now announced the system requirements for Fallout 76:
Minimum system requirements for Fallout 76 Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit) Intel Core Intel Core i5-6600k 3.5 GHz or AMD Ryzen 3 1300X 3.5 GHz Nvidia GTX 780 3 GB or AMD Radeon R9 285 2 GB 8 GB RAM 60 GB free hard drive space
Recommended system requirements for Fallout 76 Windows 7/8.1/10 Intel Core i7-4790 3.6 GHz or AMD Ryzen 5 1500X 3.5 GHz Nvidia GTX 970 4 GB or AMD R9 290X 4 GB 8 GB RAM 60 GB free hard drive space
When does the Fallout 76 PC Beta start? The beta for PC and PS4 begins on October 30. However, Xbox players get another turn first. The second Xbox One beta will take place on October 28 from 5 PM to 7 PM.
How to participate in the beta: If you want to play Fallout 76 on PC before release on November 14, you need to pre-order the title. Only pre-order customers can try out the beta. Then you can also see in advance if your PC has enough power for the post-apocalyptic online game.
What are the advantages of playing Fallout 76 on PC? In terms of graphics, there should be little difference between the individual versions. If Bethesda follows the same approach as with Fallout 4, a high-res texture pack for the PC version could possibly be released.
Furthermore, mods will also play a role, but these will follow at a later point. And many find it more comfortable to play with a mouse and keyboard instead of a controller.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, rare skins from the past are available today. This time it’s the simple Scythe and the male version of the Ghoul Trooper. These are the stars of the shop in Fortnite today.
What is the shop offering about? Currently, there are two offers in the Fortnite shop that bring great joy to many players: Braniac and the old Scythe as a harvesting tool.
All info on the new skins
What is so special about the two skins? The Scythe is a relic from the old days of Fortnite. When Halloween 2017 was celebrated, the game was still new and relatively unknown. Hardly anyone probably imagined the meteoric rise Fortnite would celebrate a few months later.
At that time, the player count was manageable, and only a few bought the Halloween skins. They were therefore quite rare. Especially the Skull Trooper was particularly sought after and back then it had a simple Scythe as a harvesting tool.
The new, old Scythe: In the new version of the Trooper, the Scythe has a more elaborate design. But anyone wanting the old Pickaxe can now seize the opportunity. Back then, this item was mainly famous for its cool look, the sound effect, and the slightly faster harvesting time. The latter might now be fixed.
The male Ghoul Trooper: Besides the Skull Trooper and the Scythe, there was also a female skin for Halloween, the Ghoul Trooper. Essentially, it was Soldier Ramirez dressed as a zombie.
This skin is missing so far, but the developers have introduced a new male version in the shop. It’s called Brainiac and is a zombie version of the soldier character Jonesy.
What do the skins cost? Brainiac is an unusual outfit and therefore costs 800 V-Bucks. That’s about 8 Euros. The Scythe comes at the same price.
Where is the original Ghoul Trooper? So far, there’s been no trace of the Ghoul Trooper from 2017. Epic seems to be taking its time bringing back the last of the super-rare skins. It is to be expected that its release will cause similar outrage among longtime fans, as was the case with the Skull Trooper.
Some of the regular players of Fortnite viewed the rare skins as a kind of badge of their loyalty to the game. When the skins of yore return, they feel betrayed and react angrily on social channels.
Do you prefer the new Halloween skin? Then read our article on the brand new outfit Deadfire.
The well-known YouTuber Joe “Angry Joe” Vargas is slightly sniffly towards Rockstar. He is missing the preferential treatment for Red Dead Redemption 2. Fans will probably have to wait longer for a review from Angry Joe for RDR2.
This is Angry Joe: For his fans, he is an important purchasing guide when it comes to whether they should get a game or not. Jose Antonio Vargas (34) has made a name for himself with reviews of video games on his YouTube channel “AngryJoeShow.”
He has nearly 3 million followers, and some of them only trust his opinion.
In his “Angry Reviews,” he entertainingly critiques games and rates them. He tends to yell and get angry. A bit of rage apparently works well and seems authentic. Small sketches and a lot of interaction with his large community round off the package.
For many players considering whether to get the next blockbuster, Angry Joe’s opinion is important. But there won’t be a “quick” review for Red Dead Redemption 2.
No preferential treatment for Angry Joe
This annoys Angry Joe right now: Vargas tweeted yesterday at 8:40 PM that he is just now starting to download Red Dead Redemption 2. He has only just received the code. So just before launch.

This seems to slightly annoy Angry Joe. He says he doesn’t know what else he needs to prove to Rockstar to expect this preferential treatment as well. People should expect a “massive delay” for his review.
Just buy it, the review will take some time
When will the Angry Review come then? But Joe is not that angry after all.
In a second tweet, Vargas makes it clear that fans should just buy the game, even without his review. Everyone knows that Red Dead Redemption 2 is worth buying.

He definitely will not rush, but will enjoy Red Dead Redemption 2. It may be that his review of Red Dead Redemption 2 will come only a few weeks later.
In Destiny 2: Forsaken, clans can take on weekly raid challenges. We explain how to master the challenge “Endless Battle”.
If you are a member of a clan, there is an additional opportunity for you to acquire Powerful gear in Forsaken. Hawthorne offers weekly bounties at the Tower that can only be tackled by clans. The goal of these Clan Bounties is to complete certain challenges in the raid.
The Endless Battle – What you need to do for the challenge
This is included in the new bounty for clans: Currently, clans have the raid challenge “Endless Battle” available. To master this challenge, you must successfully complete the weekly bounty of the same name from Hawthorne. This sends you into the Forsaken raid Last Wish, so you will need a group.
These are the requirements for the bounty:
You must be a member of a clan. Solo players cannot take on 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.
This is how the Endless Battle works: The challenge is quickly explained. First, accept the corresponding bounty from Hawthorne with your team members. Now it’s time to go into the raid Last Wish.
There you need to reach the third boss Morgeth, the Pillar Guardian – a giant ogre. You can refer to our detailed Raid Guide for Last Wish for how to get there and the basic mechanics for the boss fight. However, you can also shorten the path to this boss by entering the code for the 5th wish at the Wall of Wishes.
Once at Morgeth, a multitude of adds and four smaller ogres will spawn at the sides of the arena. Two of them will then move towards the center of the arena.
The challenge is to defeat Morgeth in this encounter without killing the four smaller ogres. So focus on the smaller enemies and take them out. Stick to the mechanics from the raid guide and try to injure the ogres as little as possible and definitely not to kill them. You can neglect the boss for now.
During the fight, Morgeth’s back will swell, forming a large sack. When this glows a bright blue, it’s time to strike, the damage phase begins. From this point on, focus on the sack until the damage phase is over or you have taken down the boss.
If Morgeth is defeated and the four smaller ogres have survived, you have successfully completed the challenge.
You can see how the fight goes with the challenge in this video by Gernader Jake:

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the PC and Xbox One are now following suit. The Black Market joins the game today.
PS4 players have been able to earn all sorts of cosmetic items on the Black Market since October 19. Today, on October 26, the two other platforms, the PC and Xbox One, are finally joining in. Players there can also start hunting for calling cards, skins, and other cool cosmetics starting today.
Black Market in Black Ops 4 is Coming to PC and Xbox One – What You Need to Know
When exactly does the Black Market go live? The developers at Treyarch did not specify an exact time for today’s launch of the Black Market on PC and Xbox One. However, the feature went live on PS4 at around 7 PM one week ago.
What is the Black Market? The Black Market is a type of in-game shop where the contents can only be earned through gameplay in Multiplayer or Blackout and not purchased with in-game currency or real money. This feature in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is most comparable to the Battle Pass in Fortnite.
How does the Black Market work? The Black Market is the core of the so-called “Supply Stream Progression“. This system is intended to keep Black Ops 4 regularly updated with new content – similar to the Seasons in Fortnite.
The individual Seasons in Black Ops 4 are called seasonal operations. They have a limited duration and can include multiple individual streams. The streams represent a specific theme or motto.
By the way: Special events will have the same duration on all platforms – the PS4 simply starts earlier. Furthermore, players on PC and Xbox One can already look forward to an improved version of the Black Market.
The 8.1 update of World of Warcraft brings several new currencies into the game. Players will soon be able to “farm” loot in Warfronts.
The Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance brings many changes to World of Warcraft that players have been wishing for since the beta. Clear, tangible goals to work towards. A new currency creates such a goal. To achieve it, one must engage in the Warfronts.
What kind of currency is available? Horde players can receive “Commendations of the Vowed”, while Alliance players can grab the “Commendations of the 7th Legion”.
Where can you get the commendations? So far, it is only certain that the commendations can be obtained from Warfronts. Many players speculate that they could also be obtained from other sources, such as the “Incursions” (Horde/Alliance attacks on quest areas) or special war mode quests. However, this has not been confirmed yet.
What rewards are available? Currently, most rewards are cosmetic in nature. There are two stylish capes in red and blue (Alliance and Horde), a small Raptor as a pet, and faction-specific mounts. While the Alliance can buy a blue Scorpid and a noble Sabertooth, the Horde has to settle for a red Scorpid and a Dreadbat.
For both sides, there is also a ring of item level 350 – when used, it teleports the wearer to Dazar’Alor (Horde) or Boralus (Alliance). A perfect substitute for the hearthstone!
Please note that the information is still from the public test realm. A lot can change before the release of the patch.
What do you think about another currency for farming? A good thing to set clear, achievable goals? Or are too many currencies annoying in WoW?
Additional currencies that will gain relevance in Patch 8.1:
For Blackout in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, there is now an interactive map that all fans of the battle royale mode should take a look at. Because it could be worth it.
What is this Blackout map? The map, simply called the Blackout map, is an interactive view of the game world from the Blackout mode, in the style of Google Maps.
The map works via the browser and can be used both on mobile devices and on desktop. The developers are currently considering a future map intensively.
Interactive Blackout Map for Black Ops 4 – Here’s Why It’s Worth a Look
What makes the Blackout map so special? Firstly, the overview map shows potential spawn points for
vehicles
boats
helicopters
zombies
mystery boxes
loot boxes
and recently also dark ops challenges
that are currently known. However, the map is continuously being developed, and newly discovered hot spots are added every day. Fans have the opportunity and are even actively encouraged to post new and missing locations to the map makers.
Moreover, the map is interactive. Fans can create their own maps, set pins, mark routes, and add their own text. They can then share their own creations with custom links to their friends.
That’s why everyone should take a look at the Blackout map: Using this interactive Blackout map, you can already search for worthwhile drop locations before jumping and find vehicles, the coveted mystery boxes, or loot boxes faster.
By planning and sharing routes, a coordinated approach in team play is also made easier in duos and quads modes. Additionally, the map helps you with completing dark ops challenges. Because all known locations for these specific Blackout challenges are also shown.
As for the Dark Ops challenges, these are specific challenges that will earn you additional merit points if completed successfully. However, these dark ops challenges are secret and will only be revealed after you have mastered them. The map not only shows you their locations but also what you need to do for each challenge.
Here’s how to find the map: We have the link to the official page of the interactive Blackout map here for you.
The developers of Overwatch are consistently striving to bring balance to the game. Sometimes, well-intentioned changes backfire. Like in the last PTR patch, which buffs Reaper but makes him weaker.
In the current PTR build of Overwatch, a change has been made to Reaper. This was intended to make the DPS hero stronger by giving him more reliable damage. However, he has effectively been weakened as a result.
Why Reaper has become weaker
What has changed? The developers saw the need to make an adjustment to Reaper, enabling him to perform better in direct confrontations. Two things were changed regarding Reaper in the current PTR patch:
The randomness of the spread of Reaper’s shotguns has been reduced by 50%.
The passive life steal has been increased from 20% to 30% of the damage dealt.
The goal was to allow Reaper to aim more accurately and deal damage more reliably. It was intended to be a passive damage buff.
What went wrong: The effect of the “buff” was, in the end, that Reaper now deals less damage, meaning he needs more shots to eliminate an opponent.
This was discovered by some Reddit users shortly after the patch was applied. The user McManus26 tested the new shotguns at various distances and published the numbers in their Reddit thread. Every time he needed more shots on the PTR to kill the bots in training mode:
10 meter distance: About 4 shots on the live server, about 5 shots on the PTR.
13 meter distance: 5-6 shots on the live server, 7 shots on the PTR.
How could this happen? The reason this could happen is that the old “spray pattern,” meaning the distribution of shrapnel from Reaper’s shotguns allowed for more hits on the target in the old version.
While the new spread ensures that more shrapnel reliably hits the target, more shots also reliably miss it. This reduces the effective area covered by Reaper’s shots.
The user NSKuber fired 8 shots at a wall and captured the various spread patterns:
Whether this change will make it to the live servers remains to be seen. Since it was intended to be a buff for Reaper, it is unlikely that the patch will go live as it is.
Along with the Halloween event in Pokémon GO, players can look forward to another highlight. Gengar will appear in gyms for 3 hours on one day.
While the Halloween event in Pokémon GO is running, Niantic is already announcing the next news. Players will have the chance to encounter the Ghost Pokémon Gengar in raid battles for three hours on one day.
When does the day start? The Gengar Day is on November 3rd and will run from 11 AM to 2 PM German time.
Gengar in every gym: During these three hours, all gyms will be closed for other bosses, and Gengar will take control. Thus, a Gengar raid will take place in every gym for three hours.
5 free raid passes: Players who spin the photo discs at gyms during the three hours of the event can receive up to five free raid passes. This ensures that every player can take part in Gengar raids.
Shiny Gengar: In connection with the Gengar Day, there will also be the opportunity to catch a Gengar in its shiny form.
Gengar and its shiny form
Move Psychic: A Gengar from the raids can learn the psychic move Psychic. It is not known whether the move can also be taught via TMs.
Move Lick: Update 26.10 at 19:30: Additionally, Gengar can learn the ghost quick move Lick. This is only possible during the three hours.
Level 4 raid: As YouTuber “PkmnMasterHolly” announced on Twitter, Gengar will be a level 4 raid during the three hours. Gengar can usually be found in level 3 raids. Therefore, it will be difficult to defeat Gengar alone.

Shadow Claw Gengar: The community has long hoped that Gengar could learn its old quick move Shadow Claw again. This is significantly better than its current quick move Frustration. A Gengar Day would be the best opportunity to bring back the old move, according to the community.
Disappointment about move: Now many players are disappointed that Gengar can learn Psychic that day instead of Shadow Claw as wished.
On Reddit, the user “ShadowMoses05” replied to the question of whether Gengar is good with Psychic: “No, it’s stupid. Niantic is stupid. I’m so upset about it, Gengar is my absolute favorite Pokémon and they are ruining his special day!”
What do you think of Gengar Day? What do you think about the move that Gengar can learn?
With Patch 8.1, the raid Siege of Dazar’Alor comes to World of Warcraft. Players will have to deal with new racial abilities there.
The big highlight of Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance will be a new raid. In the “Siege of Dazar’Alor”, the Alliance attacks the capital of the Horde, and the conflict is presented in two parts during the raid. The Alliance must fight against different bosses than the Horde, and three bosses are exclusive to each faction.
However, so that all players can experience every boss, one can be shown a flashback by scouts and then play from the perspective of the opposing faction. But there is a special twist.
Exchange of racial abilities: When you start the flashback, your character becomes a character of the other faction – seemingly at random. This is not an illusion (like in the Caverns of Time), but an actual racial change! As a Tauren Druid, you could become a Night Elf. You lose the racial abilities of the Tauren and gain those of the Night Elves.
Which character transforms into what? What your character transforms into seems to depend on the chosen class and chance. Horde Druids almost always become Night Elves, while the selection for other classes is larger.
Reputation bonus as a Horde race? Some Horde players are already looking forward to being temporarily transformed into a human. Because then they would have the racial ability “Diplomacy” and could benefit from 10% additional reputation, which one can get from usable reputation tokens and use in the raid.
Part of the player base speculates, however, that Blizzard is currently just experimenting with this “exchange” of abilities and in the end will just revert to a “normal” illusion.
Please note that this is still PTR details. It may change before the release of Patch 8.1.
What do you think about this mechanic of temporary racial change? A cool thing that makes the new raid even better? Or will it feel “wrong” to play a true hero of the other faction?

Update 2.0.5 brings numerous changes for Destiny 2. Among other things, the issues with the rare Masterwork cores and the rare drops of Forsaken Exotics are set to be addressed.
On October 30, Update 2.0.5 is set to be released for Destiny. Bungie had already provided a brief overview of what changes players can expect. But now there have been concrete details in the latest “This Week at Bungie” blog on how to tackle two of the biggest problem areas of Forsaken.
How Masterwork Cores Will Change with Update 2.0.5 in Destiny 2
This is the problem with Masterwork Cores: One of the biggest points of criticism since the launch of the Forsaken expansion has been the Masterwork Cores. They are rare, there are hardly any reliable sources, but you need relatively many of them for infusing.
This is how Bungie plans to solve the problem:
Masterwork Cores will be called “Upgrade Cores” with Update 2.0.5. This is intended to make their purpose clearer. When they were introduced, they were responsible for upgrading a weapon to Masterwork status. However, with Forsaken, their significance has been expanded.
There will be more reliable sources for Upgrade Cores. They will be added to the Scrap Collector’s loot quests as well as to six Weekly Wanted loot quests from Spider.
Additionally, Upgrade Cores will be more visible in the loot stream.
How Exotic Drops Will Change with Update 2.0.5 for Destiny 2
This is the problem with Exotics: The drop rate of Exotics, especially the new Forsaken items, has been frequently criticized since the release of Forsaken often. Exotic Engrams are rare and often drop duplicates. This is set to change with the upcoming patch.
This is how Bungie is addressing the problem with Exotics now: While Exotics will still remain rare and somewhat special, the chance for Forsaken Exotics will increase. Additionally, they aim to solve the duplicate issue:
From Update 2.0.5 onward, when you receive an Exotic, all exotic items you have found will be taken into account. The system will now weigh these against those you still lack. This reduces the chance of receiving exotic gear you already own.
Exotics you do not yet have will be weighted higher than duplicates of items you have already received.
Duplicates will not disappear completely.
When you receive duplicate Exotics, it will more often be armor pieces. Because armor pieces have random perks.
Additionally, exotic quest weapons will be removed from the loot pool of exotic engrams.
What do you think of these changes? Did you expect more?

If you want to earn gold, you should wait before submitting your emissary quests. There are changes in World of Warcraft.
Update 25.10.2018: The hotfix is now live. Gold emissary quests now award a proud 2000 gold!
Original report: Every day, an emissary quest in World of Warcraft invites you to complete three or four missions for a specific reputation faction.
In return, you can receive an item, war resources, artifact power, or 700 gold coins. The last two rewards, artifact power and gold coins, are now being altered with a hotfix. So you should not turn in the quests yet!
Which emissary quests are involved? Currently, there is an emissary quest for the Tortollan, the humanoid turtles. Completing three quests with this faction rewards you with 1500 reputation and an additional 700 gold coins. The quest can be submitted until tomorrow night (October 25 to 26).
What does Blizzard want to change? A hotfix is scheduled to go live today, which will “increase the gold reward from emissary quests.” The exact measure of the increase is not yet known, but Blizzard itself recommends on Twitter that you should wait to turn in the quest.

The reward for artifact power will also be increased. Currently, there are 600 artifact power as a “bonus” and 400 artifact power as standard. Here too, the amount is set to increase.
If you act hastily and submit the mission early, you could miss out on several hundred gold coins.
What does the image show? The loading screen this week shows a castle near Haunted Hills. In the foreground, a hot battle can be seen. Even the vampire skin is involved. Transparent in the background, you can see the star in the frame of a window.
Where you should search: For most of you, the location is now already very clear. You should visit the tower in the haunted castle. Go to the shown window and collect the star.
You can find the tower at the border of coordinates B2 and B3.
Meet requirements: Keep in mind that you must have unlocked the cover image for week 5 first in order to discover the star.
Is there a video explanation? To ensure you know exactly where the star is located in the haunted castle, we embed a video for you here. This way, you can see where you can land and how to easily get the star.

Beware of campers: Other players know where the star is hidden. So keep an eye on your surroundings when you fly to the tower and loot the star.
Black Desert Online has presented a video of the next class ahead of Twitchcon. Players have been waiting for this class, the Archer, since the beginning of the game.
Black Desert has introduced the upcoming class for the sandbox MMO. The Archer will join the already existing 12 other classes. With the Archer, players will then have the choice between 13 different classes.
The Archer is a pure ranged class
What can the Archer do? The Archer will likely be a ranged class. He relies on various weapons while fighting:
A magical glove. With it, he will probably cast his magical abilities. The glove is his secondary weapon.
A crossbow that can shoot arrows. In the video, you can see how he creates golden arrows and chases them at enemies. This is his main weapon.
Moreover, he is armed with a longbow. He will receive the longbow after unlocking his Awakening weapon at level 56.
When the Archer appears, Pearl Abyss will provide detailed information about his backstory and what drove him to seek adventures in the world of Black Desert. Recently, the class Lahn received an elaborate backstory.
When can you play as the Archer? Fans initially assumed that the Archer would be included as part of the upcoming content update Drieghan. However, Pearl Abyss has clarified that the Archer will not appear at the same time.
He will probably arrive in Korea a bit later. When he will be available for us to play in Europe is still open. It could still take some time.
In the embedded video, you can see some of the Archer’s abilities and emotes in action.
From Male Ranger to Archer
Why have players been waiting for 4 years? The male Ranger appeared in promotional videos before the release of Black Desert, but then disappeared from the scene. Initially, he was probably developed as the male equivalent of the female Ranger.
Players wondered for a long time whether the Male Ranger would ever find his way to Black Desert. Threads regularly appeared in the official Black Desert Forum and on Reddit asking Pearl Abyss to develop a male ranged class.
In June 2018, players found the first hints of the upcoming class in the game data. The class would likely fight with a crossbow. Immediately, players thought of a male version of the Ranger. Although the Archer class is based on the Male Ranger, it seems to have received a facelift.
The female Ranger will become a melee class that wields a sword from level 56. However, some players do not like this. They wish for a pure ranged class. The Archer could be just right for these players.
Pokémon GO receives a new fitness feature. Your steps are counted – even when the app is running in the background. Here’s how the new feature works for more fitness among trainers.
The developers of Pokémon GO have introduced a new feature. This could make playing Pokémon GO much more convenient. With Adventure Sync, steps are counted even when the app is not open.
Big advantage for trainers: This way, you can easily hatch eggs and collect candies with buddy Pokémon without actively using Pokémon GO.
Adventure Sync in Pokémon GO – How does it work?
Here’s what the feature is about: Niantic has now introduced the new fitness feature in Pokémon GO. Why fitness? The function measures your distance traveled per week and then rewards you for it. So, the more you walk, the more you can achieve in the game and stay fit.
How does it work? The Adventure Sync feature operates in the background. Even when the Pokémon GO app is not open.
Weekly reports: Each week, the feature provides you with a report that gives you an overview of your progress in hatching, candies found, and important statistics such as calories burned or steps taken.
Where can you see the distance traveled? Through your trainer profile, you can check how many kilometers you walked in the last week.
Are there rewards? Yes, likely. For achieved milestones, you will be rewarded in Pokémon GO. In a datamine a few weeks ago, it was already found out that the distances are at 1KM, 2KM, and 3KM. The distances could still change.
To use the new feature, you need to connect with health apps. This works on Android and iOS.
iOS: When you activate the feature in Pokémon GO, it connects to the Health app.
Android: The feature from Pokémon GO connects with Google Fit.
It seems that you don’t need any extra device for this. The Health app from Apple and the Google Fit app on Android will then synchronize the data with Pokémon GO.
When will the feature be released? When the release for the fitness feature is, is still unclear. Niantic has only said “soon” so far.
