We have exclusively for you the trailer for the latest goddess in SMITE. In addition, the fair queen finally has a release date.
The next goddess to join the hero pantheon of SMITE is Hera. She is probably not too happy about her husband Zeus’s affairs and will hit hard on the battlefields.
You can see more about her backstory in the video above.
When does Hera come out? The release date has been set by Hi-Rez for “mid-October”. So it will still take about two weeks until you can step into the role of the goddess Hera yourself.
Hera is a mage and therefore specializes in ranged combat. Her abilities are based on her deeds in Greek mythology. For example, she can turn enemies into defenseless animals using “Polymorph”. She often did this with the ladies Zeus had fun with.
Hera is never really alone, as she can summon Argus, the many-faced giant, with her ultimate ability, who destroys her opponents.
Fortnite: Battle Royale has a new hero named Calamity in Season 6. You can further upgrade her – how to do that, we will show you here.
Who is Calamity? Calamity is the new title heroine of Season 6. Since Season 4, certain skins have been an integral part of the season’s story, which is told in the bonus images.
This season, for the first time, a female character takes the lead role: The Cowgirl Calamity, who will develop from a simple stable girl to a grim monster hunter throughout the story.
Fun Fact: Her name is likely inspired by “Calamity Jane”, a notorious gunfighter from the Wild West.
All information about Calamity and her customization options
How do I get Calamity? The new heroine is available immediately at level 1 of the new Battle Pass from Season 6. Unfortunately, it is only in the paid pass. It costs 950 V-Bucks, which is about 9.50 euros.
Does Calamity have special features? Indeed, the new skin is upgradeable multiple times. Once you have farmed a certain amount of experience points, you will get new options for the heroine:
As a starting version, Calamity doesn’t wear much. She only wears a hat, cowboy boots, hot pants, and a white tank top.
Starting at 20,000 XP, Calamity puts on black leather pants and a vest and dons a bandit mask.
When you have a total of 50,000 XP, she gets sleeves for the vest, studs on the shoulders, fringes on the pants, and leather gloves.
For 90,000 XP, her hat becomes more magnificent, she wears a bandolier, and has a short poncho over her shoulder, reminiscent of McCree from Overwatch.
At 140,000 XP, Calamity becomes really cool. She is now wearing a stylish leather coat.
Finally, when you have farmed 200,000 XP, the coat gets a glow effect and smoke surrounds Calamity in a dark manner.
How do I get a lot of experience points? Ideally, win games (which works quite well in 50vs50) and get a number of kills, survive long, and revive your teammates. If you complete four tasks in a week, you will also receive an XP bonus.
Is there more? In addition to the additional styles, you can also give Calamity other colors. To do this, you need to complete a certain number of weekly challenges:
By default, the accents on her clothes are white
When you complete a total of 10 tasks from the weekly challenges, you can unlock the turquoise color
For 25 challenges, you get violet, which looks especially good at the last skin level.
Whoever completes 50 challenges unlocks the black color
What about additional accessories? The matching pickaxe for Calamity is a wooden stake. You get it once you have unlocked at least 5 more options for Calamity.
A glider for Calamity is available in the Battle Pass from level 39 and a ghostly fall animation from level 83. Only a back accessory for the monster hunter is still missing.
How long do I have to unlock all this? Probably as long as Fortnite exists. Since Season 5, Epic has not tied the progress of the new skins to a specific season. So you can take your time and don’t have to complete everything in Season 6.
How is Calamity received by players? The Fortnite community has found Calamity to be good so far. Many players like the new skin, and right now there are many cowgirls in the game wielding all sorts of weapons.

Big fuss about Calamity’s breasts: Additionally, there was a little scandal at the start of Season 6 regarding Calamity. In certain emotes, her breasts were fully animated and wobbled realistically. This was said to be an accident and has since been fixed.
Another “Battle Royale” game has seen the light of day: Battlerite Royale is now available on Steam. The market entry went excellently for the game: Battlerite Royale was the top seller at launch. But whether that will remain the case is yet to be seen.
Battlerite Royale – Global top seller: Shortly after its early access release on September 26, 2018, Battlerite stormed the sales charts on Steam. As InvenGlobal reports, Battlerite Royale reached number 1 on the global top seller list within just a few hours, ahead of Pathfinder: Kingmaker.
Battlerite Royale – yet another BR game or something more?
Battlerite Royale is different: To stand out among the plethora of BR games, Battlerite Royale takes a different approach to the BR genre. You play in an isometric perspective, similar to a MOBA, and in teams of three.
Generally, Battlerite Royale is oriented towards games like Realm Royale. You can choose from 20 characters, all of whom have unique abilities and are inspired by the existing heroes from the predecessor, Battlerite.
The item selection is somewhat broader. According to InvenGlobal, there are supposed to be rocket boots and bear traps. Abilities are found and equipped just like in Realm Royale.

The community finds it good, but … The current ratings on Steam are “mostly positive” (71% from 469 ratings, as of 28.09. 14:40). Most positive reviews praise the fun of the game and the variety brought by the new mechanics in Battlerite Royale.
However, there are also negative aspects that are even mentioned in recommendations:
it feels like a mode of Battlerite, not like a standalone game
the skill pickups annoy some players
there are apparently still not fully developed content and systems, such as islands that cannot be left
and some players would not have purchased it at full price.
The criticism is also reflected in the top seller list. Already today, on 28.09.2018 at 14:40, Battlerite Royale has slipped back to 8th place on the global top sellers.
Is Battlerite Royale free? Battlerite Royale is a buy-to-play title currently priced at €17.99 on Steam (down from €19.99). A free-to-play release is planned for 2019, similar to the predecessor Battlerite.
FIFA 18 was heavily criticized by eSports players, seen as “slow, sluggish, unmanageable”. Does FIFA 19 perform better this year? In a talk on the streaming channel MAX professionals spoke candidly about the release version.
High stakes – high rewards: In eSports, particularly with FIFA 19, there can be a lot of money involved: Some professionals invest 3000-5000 Euros in their teams, with some FIFA world champions reportedly spending between 8000 and 10,000 Euros on packs. However, they also won nearly 200,000 in the World Championship.
The crisis year “FIFA 18”: FIFA 18 did not function as the professionals had hoped. In early 2017, Corentin “RocKy” Chevrey, the FIFA world champion, said: “The game is getting worse and worse”. He criticized particularly the gameplay of FIFA 18, saying it was sluggish, slow, and unmanageable.
The promised improvements from the developers only made the game worse; he had been struggling through matches for months.
During thecurrently ongoing EGX in Berlin, MeinMMO CEO Dawid Hallmann spoke with one of the best players in the world, Marcel “Donchap28” Deutscher, and professional FIFA coach Benny Aka Tazz, about the latest edition of the football simulation. Has FIFA 19 improved?
Here you can listen to the conversation along with an exciting FIFA 19 match:

More training features:Marcel “Donchap28” Deutscher, who is among the top 30 players in the world, gave a positive early report: “I have a very good feeling about FIFA 19. There are very good new features like dynamic tactics that allow you to influence the game during play.”
Timed Finishing a significant new feature: Benny aka TaZz from bPartGaming also agreed with this assessment. Especially the new “Timed Finishing” offers the chance to gain an advantage over less skilled players: “That’s a component that can improve the shot. You can practice that – and as a player, I can do something better than my opponent and gain an advantage.”
A point that Marcel has also already noted: “You can see very well what you did wrong – or right – with ‘Timed Finishing’. Last year was different, when three long shots with Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly hit the post, and you didn’t know why.
Offensive play becomes more realistic
Only pressing “X” doesn’t work anymore: Passing in FIFA 19 is also more challenging; mistakes are punished by the game. However, you can make up for it with practice: “Last year you often played against players who just spammed the X button – that doesn’t work anymore. EA Sports has improved that significantly,” said Marcel.
FIFA coach Benny saw the issue last year as well: “There has been a lot of assistance with passes in recent years. I think it’s good that this is being toned down; it makes it harder. You are punished for making mistakes – there will be a difference between players.”
MeinMMO CEO Dawid Hallmann in conversation with Marcel Deutscher
More play through the back: The two professionals expect that the new features will make a noticeable difference in offensive play: “You probably have to take some pace out. In the last game, you could quickly push forward, but now the passes are rather inaccurate,” said Benny.
It would no longer be possible to just rush forward: “It will be more about playing from the back, with fewer risky balls forward. You might bring in the outside defender to seek safety in the buildup play.”
This gives the game even more simulation character, thinks Marcel: “In real football, no team rushes forward for 90 minutes. Last year, you could defend very well, had good pressing, and the opponent did not know what to do anymore. He then hit X out of reflex and got countered suddenly.”
This does not work in FIFA 19 anymore: “You have to rather turn around and come from the back.”
Patch in – or rather not?
Last year there was an early patch: Despite all the optimizations, serious bugs still exist in the game, just like last year: “For example, players perform a sidefoot shot when you want to shoot with full power – so that option is gone for now,” explains Benny, who is curious about how EA will handle this:
“This is a very interesting phase right now. Last year there was an early patch that fixed many errors. However, it was condemned by everyone because it changed a lot that characterized the game at that time.”
Core should not be changed: EA initially announced that they did not want to make that mistake again. “But this time it might be good if the patch could eliminate the bugs.”
Marcel also thought a patch would be good – as long as it doesn’t change the game as rigorously as last year’s: “If the patch comes, it shouldn’t change the entire game again. The game should be given a chance first, and the core of the gameplay should remain intact. Because it makes a good impression – both for casual gamers and for us pros.”
With the patch “Our Guiding Star”, a new armor set has been added to Guild Wars 2. However, this set is currently absurdly expensive due to a component. The required “Sigil of Erasure” can only be earned through three complicated methods. Players of Guild Wars 2 are discussing this heatedly.
Why is the Requiem armor so expensive? The newly added armor set with the patch “Our Guiding Star” requires 25 Superior Sigils of Erasure to craft. Their prices have exploded since the release of the patch.
While they only cost 2.5 silver before September 18, you now have to invest nearly 11 gold per sigil. This alone drives the price of the new armor over 275 gold.
Additionally, you need other materials like Ectoplasm Orbs, Nebulium Shards, and Transient Magic. The total cost amounts to about 335 gold, with the sigils making up the lion’s share.
The community discusses the new armor heatedly
The community is divided: In the first days, there was much discussion on Reddit about the new sigil. Reddit user choco-muffin was the first to report on the dilemma. Many users expressed their outrage over the change in this post.
It has since quieted down and many players hope that ArenaNet will make a change. Constructive suggestions have now dominated, such as using another sigil, for example from the dungeons, so that these can be actively farmed again.
Other players are also satisfied with the current costs. A basic version of the armor can be earned without using gold. Those who want the upgraded version with additional effects feel they should be willing to invest some gold.
The precursor to the new light Requiem armor
Here’s how to get the expensive armor
How do I get the Sigil of Erasure? The big problem with the required sigil is that you can’t just earn it. Other sigils can, for example, be earned through dungeons or crafted. However, Superior Sigils of Erasure can only be obtained through the following methods:
Combine yellow sigils in the Mystic Forge
With luck from various rare weapons
Through the level-up reward at level 64
Combining the sigil in the forge is purely a game of chance. Four yellow sigils have a 20% chance of producing an exotic. Of which, there are over 60 different types, making the chance of obtaining a Sigil of Erasure extremely low.
How to get so much gold in Guild Wars 2? You could also try to earn gold on the side. The currently required 335 gold can be earned as a casual player through daily logins, daily achievements, and farming fractals, Istan, or iron ore in just a few weeks.
Various rare weapons automatically come with the sigil when dropped by an enemy. However, none of the weapons can be specifically farmed.
The Sun Refuge is required to craft the new armor
The only sure way is to level a character to level 64. You get the sigil as a reward automatically. You can perfectly use the scrolls you receive on each birthday to instantly level a character to a specific level.
These scrolls vary by birthday for levels 20, 30, 40, 50, and since this year also to 60. It’s best to combine leveling with playing the story chapters to also passively earn a Black Lion key at levels 10, 40, and 60.
However, you should be cautious with tomes of knowledge. These can be converted into gold significantly better through the Mystic Forge or when sold to guilds than by exchanging for one of the sigils. Moreover, you need over 1,500 tomes for all 25 Sigils of Erasure.
What else is tedious? The 375 Nebulium shards must first be farmed on the new map. You can buy these from heart vendors, collect them by mining ores, or earn them by completing special events.
Additionally, you must complete two collections: one for the previous Elegy armor and a two-part collection for the Requiem armor.
This is what the Requiem armor looks like: The Requiem armor shares its appearance with the Elegy armor. Additionally, it has a special aura that can be dyed as desired.

Will it stay this expensive?
Will the costs remain this high in the future? Currently, the armor is very new, and many players want to earn it as quickly as possible. Some speculators also struck as soon as the materials were announced and bought up the stock of sigils.
Whereas there were over 22,000 of them in the trading post before the patch, the number is now down to about 800. These players are of course trying to make the maximum profit from the new armor.
The Medium Elegy Armor without the special effects
Over time, the hype will die down, and costs are expected to drop again. However, the sigils will not fall back down to 2.5 silver. So if you do not urgently want the armor right now, you should just wait a bit and maybe level up a character or two in the meantime.

Fortnite: Battle Royale has a new type of cosmetics in Season 6: Pets. But what are these cute little creatures? What are they good for, how do you get them, and what happens if you die?
What can the Pets do? Nothing. They look cute and react dynamically to game situations. They become threatening when a fight happens and look worried when you go down.
Do the Pets have any advantages or disadvantages in the game? No, they are purely cosmetic. The sounds they make are only audible to you and your teammates. Moreover, the animals only growl when the fight has already begun.
Pets are therefore also not an early warning system. And no, the Pets really stay permanently in their basket on your back. They do not come out to fetch you ammo or items. Pets are really just decoration.
How many Pets are there? Currently, at the start of Season 6, there are three Pets:
The Dog “Wuffel”
The Chameleon “Camo”
The Dragon “Schuppi”
Each of these little creatures is available in three color versions that you have to unlock gradually.
How do I get the Pets? The three animals mentioned above can only be obtained through the Battle Pass of Season 6. You need the paid version for 950 V-Bucks (9.50 Euros).
Wuffel is available from Level 12
Camo from Level 29
Schuppi is available from Level 43
Epic may later offer more Pets in the shop or as promo actions.
What happens to the Pets if you die? Since the little creatures are so cute, some players feel uneasy taking the Pets with them. After all, you are shooting around in Fortnite and the poor animals can get caught in the crossfire.
Especially when you go down in a team or duo game, the Pet vigilantly growls over your crawling avatar.
And if someone comes along with a shotgun or pickaxe and knocks you out of the game along with the animal, it’s quite a brutal sight.
But anyone who looks closely knows that in Fortnite you never really die. You are just teleported to safety when you supposedly get hit. This also applies to the little creature, which of course is not brutally chopped up, blown up, or shot through.
When does which event come in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team? In our FUT event calendar, we list when promos like TOTY, TOTS, FUTmas, or FUT Birthday will be available.
It’s hard to imagine FUT these days without events. Especially for trading, it’s important to know when which promo phases are coming to Ultimate Team.
That’s why we’re giving you an overview of all event dates in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team. The exact dates are not guaranteed, but the approximate timeframe is considered extremely likely.

FUT 19: Events in September
Right after the official release of FIFA 19 on September 28, the first event will take place: The “Ones to Watch” cards are the first promo phase in Ultimate Team.
In Pokémon GO, the first EX Raid invitations for the new boss Deoxys have now been distributed. This is how the community is reacting.
On the evening of September 27th, the first EX Raid invitations for the new boss Deoxys were sent out. The passes are dated for October 1st and 2nd. This will be your first opportunity to encounter the new EX Raid boss Deoxys.
First EX Raid battles with Deoxys ahead
Change in the arenas: In the Pokémon GO community, it’s a significant change that Mewtwo is no longer the EX Raid boss. After about a year, Mewtwo has left the EX Raid battles and can now be found in “normal” raids. Deoxys is now taking its place in the arena. What you need to know about Deoxys’s new attacks can be found here.
Start dates now clear: It was unclear for a long time when the next invitations for the EX Raids would be distributed. Now it is confirmed that you will be able to fight against Deoxys in EX Raids in just a few days. The dates for the first fights in Pokémon GO are in early October.
This is how the community is reacting
Many players in the community are excited about the invitations. However, some are also dissatisfied with the timing of the raids.
On Reddit, many players report that they were invited to an EX Raid for the first time. They have been battling specifically in raids at the arenas, which are marked as EX Raid arenas.

In our Pokémon group on Facebook, user Clara S. wrote, “I am super excited! I just received my first invitation!”
Problems with timing: Some players regret that the EX Raids take place during their working hours and not on weekends. A Reddit user “siege898” writes, “I have an invitation for the EX Raid on Monday at 11:30 AM. Are they always during the week? That’s annoying!”
Our Facebook group is also discussing this topic. User Sebastian K. wrote, “I really find the timing absurd! Which normally working person can do that?”
The EX Raid invitations in Pokémon GO are set by the game for specific days and time windows. Players have no direct influence on this.
Sharing EX Raids now possible for the first time
You can now also invite friends to an EX Raid who have not received an invitation in advance. The friend must be at least a Hyperfriend. You can only share your invitation with one friend.
What is this good for? If trainers do not receive an invitation to an EX Raid from the game, friends can now invite them. This way, you can still go to the Deoxys raids with your favorite group and have the chance to catch the monster.
A new armor set in Patch 8.1 of WoW has fans hoping. Will this be the Heritage Armor of the Blood Elves?
With the upcoming Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance, there are some new features in World of Warcraft. Data miners have been busy reading the game data for a while now, and many changes can already be seen on the PTR. A new set of equipment thematically fitting to the Blood Elves is being introduced.
Fancy clothing for Blood Elves: A new armor set comes in the typical Blood Elf colors: red, gold, and black.
In addition, there are a few green crystals that remind of the Fel, which served as a mana source for Blood Elves for several years. Visually, the set would likely fit all armor classes, with the helm only giving an impression of chain or plate.
The armor is named “Blood Elf Guard Armor” – so “Armor of the Blood Elf Guards”. It is possible that Blizzard will replace the old “Spellbreaker” model of the Blood Elves and swap it for the new models of the Blood Elves with fancier clothing.
The presence of weapons and shields also argues against it being a “Heritage Armor,” as these have not come with a matching weapon set for other races.
Community actively discussing: The community is still divided on what to think of this set. Some players hope it is indeed the Heritage Armor, while others criticize the armor set. “It looks like a green quest set” or “it doesn’t fit the lore of the Blood Elves at all” can be read multiple times in the comments.
How do you like the new “Armor of the Guards” of the Blood Elves? Was it time to spruce it up? Or should the classic Spellbreaker model have been kept? Should this also be the Heritage Armor?
Fortnite: Battle Royale offers new skins in the shop again at the start of Season 6. It will be festive and beer-loving thanks to Oktoberfest skins.
O’zapft is! The Munich Oktoberfest is not only a highlight in Bavaria. The beer festival is also popular among Americans and is well-known there. Therefore, the developers at Fortnite have dressed up the new skins from Update 6.0 in the current shop offer in Wies’n style. While it doesn’t quite fit the horror theme of Season 6, it certainly fits the Oktoberfest in Munich!
These skins are currently available in the shop
These are the outfits: The two Oktoberfest skins from the shop are called “Ludwig” and “Heidi”. Both represent a somewhat clichéd version of typical Bavarians:
Ludwig: This skin depicts an older gentleman in lederhosen and traditional attire. He has a beard carefully stiffened with Bavarian beard wax and a cap adorned with hops instead of a pigtail. He carries a beer mug on his belt. Ludwig is an epic skin and costs 1,500 V-Bucks ($15).
Heidi: The female version of the Oktoberfest skin is a stylish “madl” in a dirndl dress and blonde braids. She also wears a classic Bavarian hat. Heidi also costs 1,500 V-Bucks ($15).
These are the back blings: As epic skins, both outfits come with a back accessory included. They do not cost extra, but you also cannot purchase them separately.
Ludwig has a cuckoo clock (those are also typically German for many Americans) on his back.
Heidi carries a beer mug filled with pretzels.
This is the new pickaxe: The Oktoberfest skins also have a matching pickaxe. It is called “Hackordeon” and is exactly that: An accordion on a handle. The pickaxe costs 500 V-Bucks ($5).
Festive glider: The highlight of the Oktoberfest set, however, is the new glider. It is called “Oktoberfest meal” and features a flying Bavarian snack platter with white sausages, beer keg, cheese, and pretzels. Additionally, hops fly away from it when you steer it. This festive glider costs 800 V-Bucks ($8).
Each of you knows games that simply attract you magically. Sometimes it is that one feature that is the decisive argument. What is it?
The selection of games for computers, consoles, and mobile devices is huge. Racing games, shooters, MMOs, and of course, battle royale are among the genres that are particularly popular. And some games just don’t let you go. Those are the ones you always return to or never leave.
What captivates you in a game that makes you say: “Yep, I’m staying here”?
Story, loot, content, or the community – What convinces you?
Is story important to you? A good story is told in an exciting way, has ups and downs, and always finds a way to grab your attention with compelling twists.
Looting and leveling: Gear is a core element of many online games. Many use rarity systems and let you grind for hours so that your gear becomes slightly better and you do a bit more DPS. But hey, you’ve improved. You’re happy when the legendary loot finally adorns your virtual character.
Some players really push this loot, creating outrageous armors that drastically change the character’s appearance. Many strive for a specific look of how they want to adorn their online figure.
Is such rare or flashy loot a reason for you to keep coming back and improve your character?

Content that is constantly being expanded: To keep their player base entertained, many online games regularly expand with new content. This can be story DLCs or new maps, vehicles, weapons, armor, and so on.
A strong community: If the game itself offers too little entertainment, a good community can make up for a lot. If the events themselves are boring, streamers or guilds might make something special out of it.
In communities, mods for entirely new game modes often emerge when you suddenly run roleplay servers in GTA 5. Then the actual content of the game becomes unimportant, and the fellow players come to the forefront.
Can a strong community be a reason for you to stay with a game?

Recently, the first entry of the Dev Blog for The Division 2 was published. This contains initial detailed information on weapons, mods, and talents. According to this blog, there will be another weapon class.
Additionally, some interesting details about the categories, talents, and mods are explained. The blog also reveals a significant innovation, as The Division 2 will introduce a new weapon class called “Rifles.”
Weapon Category “Rifles” for Better Balancing
These weapons will belong to the Rifles in the future: The “Rifles” will be a new weapon category in The Division 2, but they are not completely new weapons. The new category will include all semi-automatic weapons as well as all rifles that fire in bursts.
If this category were introduced in The Division 1, weapons like the Urban MDR or the SA-58 would likely count as Rifles.
Why a new category? According to the Dev Blog, it would simplify the balancing of weapon talents, as it would allow for the introduction of specific bonuses for these weapons, making them more equivalent to assault and precision rifles.
This step was necessary: The Urban MDR, the only assault rifle that allows for single shots, is considered one of the best weapons in The Division 1. However, this weapon is an exception. The burst rifles like the SA-58 or FAL were never particularly popular and were rarely used. They were simply too weak and too difficult to control compared to others.
These are the Weapon Categories in The Division 2
Besides the Rifles, The Division 2 will feature the familiar weapon types. Thus, entirely new categories like melee weapons are currently excluded.
These weapon categories will be in The Division 2:
Assault Rifles
Marksman Rifles
Submachine Guns
Shotguns
Light Machine Guns
Pistols
Rifles
These were the other topics of the latest blog post: Besides the new weapon category, it was about
Exotics
Weapon Mods
Talents
Grenades
We will also keep you informed about these topics.
Here are young midfield talents in FIFA 19 that can strengthen your center in career mode. Some of these midfielders can be signed cheaply – including German talents. The overview of CAM, CM, CDM, LM, and RM talents.
The midfield in career mode: The majority of the game takes place in the midfield. Whether you’re counterattacking down the left or right sides or feel more comfortable playing through the middle: You can’t do without good midfielders.
Talents for your midfield: It makes sense to look for talented youngsters in the midfield that you can develop over the years.
Tips for your talents: Don’t let your talents rot on the bench. Develop them, use them alongside established players. And most importantly: Let your talents complete as many training sessions as possible to boost their stats.

Top talents in central midfield (CM, CDM, CAM) in career mode
Aspiring playmakers: In the center, two different player types are crucial.
On one hand, you need a good playmaker, which you can place in the CAM position.
On the other hand, you need defensively strong midfield engines in the CDM position.
You can also place players in the CM position that possess both qualities.
These are the best midfield talents:
In central midfield, you should rely on Youri Tielemans (CM, CDM). The 21-year-old from AS Monaco starts with an overall rating of 79 and increases to 89. Especially in defense, he can provide good security.
Similarly, Sandro Tonali (CDM, CM) from Brescia Calcio has potential of 88, starting at 66 as an 18-year-old – so he doesn’t cost much.
With Riqui Puig (CM), you find a good midfielder at FC Barcelona who can take on both defensive and offensive tasks. Puig increases from 68 to 88.
A man for the offense is Phil Foden (CAM, CM): The aspiring playmaker from Manchester City is only 18 years old but already has a rating of 73. This increases to 88.
In central midfield, Sergio Gomez (CAM, CM) from Borussia Dortmund could be an asset. The offensively oriented midfielder increases from 68 to 87.
Top talent Kai Havertz (CAM, RM, ST) from Bayer 04 Leverkusen should also be on your radar. The attacker is versatile and already has a strong 79 at 19 years old. He rises to 88.

Wide players: In the left and right midfield, you need players who can race up the flanks. These players need attacking drive but should also be able to handle basic defensive tasks.
Ezequiel Barco (LM, CAM, ST) is the must-buy here: The 19-year-old from Atlanta United FC already has a rating of 74 but jumps up to 89. The midfielder is not only one for the wing but can also function as a playmaker or forward talent.
Abdoulaye Dabo (LM, CM) is also a good option: The 17-year-old only has a rating of 63 but increases to 87, making him a worthwhile investment for the future.
Alphonso Davies (LM, RM) from Whitecaps FC is an option for both sides and already has a rating of 72. He can rise to 87.

Borussia Dortmund also has a midfield talent on the wing: Christian Pulisic (CM, LM, RF, LF) has become a regular starter at BVB and can also enrich your team. Starting from a rating of 79, he increases to 88. He can be deployed not only on the flanks but also makes an impact in the center.
Rising star Leon Bailey (LM, RM) is the classic, fast, and dribbling winger for your team. He already has a rating of 82, making him quite expensive, but he can still increase to 89.

Fortnite: Battle Royale can now be played thanks to unrestricted crossplay on all supported platforms. Sony has finally relented on this issue. But what about the Fortnite accounts that were previously tied to Sony?
The missing crossplay between Xbox and Switch to Sony’s PlayStation 4 was frustrating for many players, but it wasn’t the real reason for the outrage and the shitstorm that players directed at Sony recently.
Fortnite accounts held hostage: Rather, the Fortnite community was upset that thousands of Fortnite accounts were effectively “held hostage” by Sony in the PlayStation Network.
Because anyone who linked their Epic account with the PlayStation 4 in good faith could not use that Fortnite account on Nintendo’s console later with the release of the Switch shooter. Instead, they had to create a new account specifically for the Switch and thus had no access to their achievements and skins.
Sony finally frees your accounts
Sony has now announced that all account locks in the PlayStation Network have been lifted. You can now use your Epic account on Switch or Xbox One again.
What if I already created a new account? Even in this case, help is to be provided. Epic has announced that you will soon be able to merge your accounts in this situation, thus consolidating skins and achievements.
How this merging will exactly work and what happens if you have certain skins double will be revealed in the coming weeks. The merging feature is expected with one of the upcoming updates in Fortnite.
We have compiled more information about crossplay in the following article for you:
In Destiny 2 you can now obtain the Exotic bow Wishender. However, the quest will soon be unavailable for several weeks.
Dreaming City changes: When the first strike team mastered the Raid “Last Wish”, a curse was unleashed that spread over the Dreaming City. This curse has been growing stronger in the past weeks – and in the Destiny week since September 25, it has reached its peak.
The Broken Throne is only live during this phase: As Bungie has now confirmed, the endgame activity The Broken Throne is only available in the final curse phase when the Dreaming City is completely possessed by the curse:
3-Week Cycle of the Dreaming City
The Broken Throne closes its gates: According to the developers, you have until the next weekly reset on October 2 to dive into the depths of this “mini-raid.” Because then the peak of the curse will be over and the Broken Throne will close again.
When does the Broken Throne return? It has now been officially confirmed that the Dreaming City has a 3-week cycle. In three weeks, the curse will be strongest again, and then you can play the Broken Throne again.
What does this have to do with the Exo Bow?
Wishender is linked to the mini-raid: You can only obtain the Exotic bow “Wishender” if you master the Broken Throne once. After that, you need to play a mission in the Shattered Isles to return to the Broken Throne to eliminate secret enemies.
For many, the mini-raid comes too early: In the current Destiny week, most Destiny 2 Guardians probably still have too low power levels to handle the Broken Throne. Because enemies with power between 570 and 590 await you there.
What about the Malfeasance? During the week of the final curse phase, another Exotic quest for the Malfeasance went live. To do this, you must kill a special primeval in Gambit.
Many Guardians are now wondering whether this boss can only be found and killed this week – and then again in three weeks. We currently do not have an answer to that. There is still no official information from Bungie on this.
In Red Dead Redemption 2, players on PlayStation 4 are prioritized. Players on Xbox One have to wait 30 days longer for certain online DLCs.
A new bundle reveals it: It has been clear for some time that Sony and RockStar would collaborate on “Red Dead Redemption 2.” This was already evident from announcements and promotional measures.
The full extent has now been made known after a console bundle for the PlayStation 4 was introduced. A sticker on the back says “PlayStation Exclusive.”
It’s about online DLCs
What does it say exactly? As reported by the site “RockstarIntel“, it says on the bundle “Timed Exclusive for 30 Days.” This refers to “Online Content.” These are probably DLCs for Red Dead Online. The multiplayer mode of Red Dead Redemption 2 is expected to enter beta in November.
It was already known that there would be time-exclusive content for PlayStation 4. Now it is clear that players on PS4 will receive selected online DLCs 30 days before players on Xbox One. The game has not yet been announced for PC.
Confirmed by Sony: Currently, the news comes only from Sony about the bundle; a confirmation from RockStar is still pending.
This means:
On one hand, it clearly means that Red Dead Online will be developed with specific online DLCs like GTA Online.
On the other hand, it seems that Sony and RockStar have made a similar deal to The Division – only with reversed roles. In The Division, players on PlayStation 4 waited a month for the DLCs. This led to a fragmented community.
Fans are additionally concerned that the “single-player mode” won’t receive any DLCs or expansions, while Red Dead Online will be supplied with content.
Fans don’t understand
Here’s how fans are reacting: On reddit, the news is already making waves.
Xbox One players feel disadvantaged in this generation, as titanshif3r makes clear: “The Xbox has been screwed every conceivable way in this generation.”
Others see this from both sides. Murphs33 says “Xbox gets the Fallout 76 Beta earlier, so both sides are doing it. But I don’t quite understand the strategy. Do people really buy a PS4 just because they get online content from Red Dead Redemption 2 earlier?”
Yesterday, it became known what a storage space hog the new game will be:

A change to the class of the Sorcerer had to be reversed by the developers of the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online as it was not well received by the players.
The Sorcerer in ESO should experience a change to his shield, which, however, was not well received by the community. The intention behind the change to the class was quite understandable. However, the developers had to realize that the Sorcerer would have been significantly worse off, especially in PvP.
The Sorcerer became too weak in PvP
What change is in question? The shield spell of the Sorcerer was given a “Cast Time”. This duration for casting the spell was intended to make sure players do not invest all points into Magicka. It was planned to create a balance between survival and offensive capabilities. A Sorcerer should no longer be able to summon a powerful shield immediately.
What was the problem? Players complained about this change as Sorcerers had already been affected by a damage nerf from a previous update, and the additional cast time of the shield made the class nearly useless in PvP. The shields made no sense in PvP anymore.
Changes require sensitivity
Reversing a change was not so easy: Although the cast time has been removed since then, the developers found it very difficult. Because while the instantly available shields are useful in PvP, they are overpowering in PvE. Therefore, optimizations are now needed to find ways to slightly limit the Sorcerer’s abilities in PvE without making him too weak in PvP.
More is coming: The developers have also discussed adjustments to the other classes and systems to create better overall balancing.
The stamina of Dragonknights needs to be adjusted
The skills of the Warden need optimization
Nightblades have been nerfed too much over time
Additionally, an adjustment to the Champion Points system is necessary as the automatic balance between buffs and counter-buffs is not working correctly
Furthermore, the speed of players should be reduced, as they are currently too hard to hit
In general, the classes in the DPS sector need adjustments
How players are reacting: The discussion about the changes has been held between players and developers. Even though some things – like the changes to the Sorcerer – were tedious to negotiate, both parties are satisfied with what came out in the end. Now the changes just need to be integrated into the game.
Shadow Stones should be the most important new item and feature with Season 6 in Fortnite. But they are already broken and had to be disabled. They made players invisible – and that permanently.
What are Shadow Stones? The item “Shadow Stone” arrived on Thursday with the major patch new to Fortnite. True to the Halloween theme of Season 6, they were supposed to make Fortnite a bit more mysterious and eerie.
The idea was:
The stones appear in “eerie, corrupted” locations on the map
Players can use them to achieve a shadow form – which lasts for about 45 seconds
In shadow form, players are invisible as long as they remain still, but they cannot attack
When players move in shadow form, they become ghostly
By pressing the attack button, they can float through walls and ceilings
The site Polygon summarizes it with: The stones turn you into Reaper from Overwatch.
Shadow Stones Cause Bad Invisibility Glitch in Fortnite
Here’s the problem: As the site Kotaku reports, there was a nasty glitch with the Shadow Stones.
If players were downed after touching a Shadow Stone and then revived by a friend, they became permanently invisible.
Invisible, they could wreak havoc in Fortnite.

Even before that, the item was causing trouble, as players could use it to teleport to previously unreachable locations.
This is how Epic responds: The developers of Fortnite have temporarily disabled the item while they repair it. The item should return to Fortnite at some point. However, it is unclear when exactly.

In recent weeks, Fortnite frequently had issues with movement items, such as golf carts. Apparently, this tradition continues.
Not the only problem: The Shadow Stones are not the only new feature that Epic Games had to disable at short notice. Some visual animations have also been temporarily removed from the game. The breasts of the new heroine “Calamity” wobbled when she was happy.
Epic called it an embarrassing mistake that had been overlooked. It seems that a prankster slipped in the wobbly breasts. The Shadow Stones appear to be just a “normal glitch”.
How important the FIFA games have become for the merchants is highlighted by a case that is likely to annoy Amazon. With the release of FIFA 19, strikes are called at two locations. The aim is to keep FIFA players waiting for FIFA just as the union itself waits on Amazon.
The influence that a video game can have is evident in this case. With the release of FIFA 19, there are unexpected problems at the shipping giant Amazon. Since September 27, the union Verdi has been calling employees of two Amazon sites to strike.
The source of the annoyance is an advertising promise from Amazon. It guarantees that FIFA 19 will be delivered to all pre-orders on time. This promise is supposed to break the action.
Amazon promises timely delivery – with consequences
Parts of the employees and union have been in conflict with Amazon for several years. Now, employees from the warehouses in Rheinberg and Werne are being called to strike.
What is the strike about? The delivery service advertises with the promise of delivering FIFA 19 on time for the release. This has brought the union Verdi into action. FIFA 19 is
…long announced and Amazon guarantees delivery on the release date. This commitment has been made at the expense of the employees
The union has been demanding since 2013
slightly better wages
holiday pay,
a collective agreement with corresponding Christmas bonuses
and improved working conditions.
So far, Amazon has blocked any negotiations.
What does Amazon say about the situation?
An Amazon spokesperson tried to calm down. Customers who ordered FIFA 19 should not worry, it will definitely be delivered as planned. The game will not even be stored at the Werner location.
The strike has no impact on our commitment to customers, as the overwhelming majority of our employees are working normally
Regarding the allegations, the spokesperson said: In addition, Amazon regularly conducts wage reviews and had just raised wages for shipping employees at the Rheinberg and Werne locations by 2% at the beginning of 2018. Therefore, they see no reason to take action at this time.
