Overwatch will receive a revamped mode for colorblind players. The announcement has brought at least one affected individual to tears of joy.
More colors for colorblind players: In the last Developer Update from September 2018, Overwatch head Jeff Kaplan made several announcements. One of them is that Overwatch will receive a new mode for colorblind players, which is currently being tested on the PTR.
This announcement moved streamer Kolorblind so much that he cried tears of joy during his livestream.

What is changing? Kaplan stated that there will be “significant improvements.” The old system worked for some colorblind players, but many still had issues.
The development team now has the opportunity to make color adjustments to the silhouettes of characters and some elements of the interface. According to Kaplan, the developer of this feature is himself colorblind. A lot of collaboration has been done with the colorblind community during development.
In the colorblind mode, options will be available in the future to select colors that can be distinguished by those affected. This will also make it easier for colorblind players to differentiate between friends and enemies in the future.
One of the reasons Kaplan mentions for the new possibilities is the work on eSports and the Overwatch League. In competitive gaming, it is important that all players have fair conditions. In the Overwatch League, the player TviQ from Florida Mayhem is colorblind.
This is what the options for colorblind players look like.
There could be more to come: Kaplan emphasized in the update that these innovations could lay the groundwork for more. They could be further developed and improved.
The revamped feature is not the end of development, but a “great next step” to ensure that colorblindness no longer feels as disadvantageous. For those affected, like Kolorblind, the change is evidently a great cause for joy.
This is what Overwatch looks like in the colorblind setting for “Tritanopia”.
Changes to heroes and skins: In addition to the new colorblind mode, several heroes will be overhauled:
On the PTR of the new patch for World of Warcraft, Blizzard is adjusting the threat. Taunting might become weaker. What does this mean for tanks?
The next update for World of Warcraft, the Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance, brings some changes to the threat system (“Aggro”). Tanks will generate slightly less threat in the future.
Tooltip caused a stir: A change to the descriptions of taunting abilities caused an uproar. Blizzard removed from some tooltips the indication that players generate additional aggro for a few seconds after taunting an enemy. However, this was just a cleanup of the tooltip, as the community manager Lore explained.
Weakening is still coming: Nevertheless, Blizzard wants to weaken the aggro bonus that a taunting ability grants for a few seconds. Currently, taunting generates 500% additional threat for the following attacks for a few seconds. Although Blizzard does not provide specific numbers, the community has calculated that the new value results in “only” 300% additional threat. Tank gameplay was made a bit more challenging only with Battle for Azeroth.
No impact on gameplay? According to the community manager, the developers assume that the changes will not have a significant impact on gameplay. These changes are merely experiments.
They want to find out how far they can lower the once very high value of additional aggro before it noticeably affects gameplay. They do not intend to make tanking less pleasant.
Remnants from Pandaria: The current bonuses from taunting are a remnant from the expansion Mists of Pandaria. Back then, tanks could deal a lot of damage thanks to the vengeance mechanic, and during tank swaps, it was nearly impossible to maintain aggro without the 500% bonus. This is no longer the case today, without the vengeance mechanic.
What do you think of the planned changes? Do you think it’s okay for Blizzard to experiment a bit? Or should they just keep their hands off aggro?

What are TOTW Predictions? TOTW Predictions are forecasts of which players deserve a spot in the upcoming Team of the Week. Although these predictions never align 100% with the official TOTW, it is risky to act on them in the transfer market. However, they provide a good overview of which players may receive the coveted special cards.
We provide an overview of predictions from various FIFA sites.
Bernardo Silva [RW] 84 > 86 – Portugal – Manchester City
Bertrand Traoré [RW] 79 > 82 – Burkina Faso – OL
What is the Team of the Week (TOTW) in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team?
Every Wednesday, EA Sports unveils the Team of the Week in the “Ultimate Team” mode of their annual football simulation. This also applies in FIFA 19. The players who performed outstandingly in real football during the past week are rewarded with special cards that have improved attributes. Here you can find TDW 1 in FIFA 19.
Once the official TOTW 2 is known, we will add it to the article.
You can pull the TOTW cards within a week (Wednesday 7 PM to next Wednesday 7 PM) from the packs that may contain Rare (Gold) players. However, the chance to get them is quite low. You can also buy them on the transfer market if they are offered by other players. However, their prices are usually extremely high – here you can learn how to get the necessary coins for this.

Warframe receives a new Prime version of a popular Warframe on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. This time it is the “Dragon Warframe” Chroma. He has always been a good choice when hunting Eidolons.
The 22nd Prime Warframe: Chroma Prime is now available in the game. The 22nd Prime Warframe offers a new look for the fan-favorite Chroma. Additionally, the Prime version of the frame has 75 extra armor points and a 50 energy bonus. Otherwise, he is identical to a regular Chroma.
What else is there? In addition to Chroma Prime, the developers have also added Prime versions of the sniper rifle Rubico and the two-handed sword Gram to the game.
How do I get the Prime items? As always, you can collect the Prime versions through hard grinding of relics or trade them with other players. If that’s not your thing, you can buy the items in various bundles for real money. There will also be more cosmetic accessories available.
Here are the goodies you can get for real money.
An optimal Eidolon killer
What is Chroma actually? Chroma is a special Warframe in many respects:
He is massive and large
He looks like a dragon
He wears the skin of a monster, which he takes off with a skill and misuses as a turret
He has different damage types, depending on how you paint him
He is particularly well-suited for fighting the giant Eidolons
Why is Chroma so good against Eidolons? That’s because Chroma gets a huge buff to his damage output with the skill Vex Armor when he is wounded.
Buffed in this way, the Warframe can take apart the body parts of the huge Eidolons with just a few hits. Experienced players use the giant throwing star Glaive for this.
The Glaive can also be modified so that you can injure yourself with explosive damage. This way, you can reliably activate the buff from Vex Armor and the damage output becomes immense.
All of this also applies to the Prime version, which is even better than the normal version thanks to extra armor and energy. So if you like wiping out big creatures, then Chroma (Prime) is definitely a good choice.
Don’t miss the other Warframes: By the time you master the new Chroma, there may already be the new Brutal Warframe Garuda. And if you want to have Eidolon powers yourself, check out the new Warframe Revenant.
After months of wrangling, Sony finally relents. A crossplay beta between PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is coming to Fortnite. The boundaries between platforms are thus falling.
Is this official? Yes, Sony announced it through their blog. Sony states that they have thought it over carefully and have now decided to take this step.
The gaming community in some games has developed over 24 years so that they now consider this the right step. Cross-platform experiences bring significant value to all games.
This is a major directional change for Sony, and they plan this process company-wide.
This likely means: Fortnite is just the beginning. Crossplay could soon be available for all games.
Open beta for Fortnite starts today
What exactly is happening? Today an open beta for crossplay in Fortnite starts, allowing players on all platforms to play together and share their progress. This means: Players can play with and against each other using the same account on any platform.
This applies to
PS4
Nintendo Switch
Android
iOS
Xbox One
Microsoft Windows
and Mac.
What’s behind it: This beta for Fortnite is apparently intended as an important step and test. If it succeeds, crossplay could come everywhere.
That would allow players on PS4 to play with or against those on all platforms. That was previously not possible. While PS4 players could play with PC and mobile gamers, they could not play with players on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Here, Sony steadfastly resisted for months.
As the market leader, Sony kept their platforms closed to the direct competitors from Microsoft and Switch. Anyone who wanted to play with PS4 players on the consoles needed a PS4 themselves.
This is how fans are reacting: Fans are visibly surprised by this development. A first tweet has already received over 10,800 likes on Twitter after 20 minutes. Players are posting things like “They finally did it.”

The surprising thing is that the pressure had actually eased in recent weeks. In the meantime, there were actual campaigns from gaming magazines and fans to get Sony to budge.
Microsoft and Nintendo had also launched advertising campaigns emphasizing their collaboration. This too seemed targeted at Sony.
This movement has been ongoing for some time, but with the incredible popularity of Fortnite, it intensified. Epic has tried to place itself at the forefront of a “crossplay platform” movement. Apparently, they have succeeded.
Milestone in gaming: The softening of the boundaries between PlayStation 4 and other consoles has been demanded by gamers, publishers, and gaming sites for months. Apparently, the pressure was now sufficient for Sony to take this historic step.
Crossplay has also been a recurring topic in other games such as Destiny or World of Tanks. Developers said it was not a technical problem. However, the willingness of platform owners, namely Sony and Microsoft, had been lacking for years.
After Microsoft relented a year ago, only Sony had stubbornly refused until just a few hours ago to open their consoles to other platforms.
That is likely coming to an end now.
Interesting: This opens new doors. For example, Final Fantasy XIV could finally come to Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Square Enix had made this dependent on Sony relenting and announced that they were making steady progress in discussions.
With the upcoming addon The Heart of Fire, Cryptic Studios is making adjustments to the classes in the MMORPG Neverwinter. Some of these have been long awaited by the community.
When it comes to balancing changes to classes in an MMORPG, a developer treads on thin ice. However, in Neverwinter, these adjustments are necessary and they come with some further changes in the addon The Heart of Fire.
New Balancing for the Neverwinter Classes
What is changing? All classes will be overhauled with The Heart of Fire. The main focus will be on the Control Wizard and the Trickster Rogue. Because there have been the most complaints from the community about these two. Other classes will also receive slight adjustments, but only in details.
These adjustments will be made to the Control Wizard: The arcane abilities will be revised, so that it is really worthwhile to use the powers. This has often led to bugs, which the team is now fixing. The talent trees will also be optimized and powers will receive new effects. In general, the Control Wizard should feel more effective and powerful.
The Trickster Rogue will become more competitive: This class felt especially too strong in PvP, which is why adjustments are now being implemented, making the rogue not seem so overpowering and causing less damage. These balancing optimizations relate to its powers and talents.
Additionally, the animations of all classes will be adjusted to run smoother and faster.
Adjusting Classes is Always Difficult
How is the community reacting to these adjustments? As already mentioned, balancing adjustments to classes should be approached with caution and therefore they are not pleasing to everyone.
The “nerf” to the Trickster Rogue has received some criticism. A player named snotty in the official forum said, for example: “Great, now my Trickster Rogue is bad in PvE because he was supposedly too powerful in PvP – a mode I don’t even play!” However, many players believe that this frustration comes from the fact that certain combos are now less effective and players have to learn to use the rogue’s full repertoire of skills differently. Furthermore, the adjustments are simply necessary to maintain fairness in PvP.
In Pokémon GO the latest update introduced a feature that marked EX-Raid gyms with a blue mark in the top right corner. Since then, players have been increasingly reporting that gyms that previously triggered an EX-Raid no longer carry such a mark.
What’s it about? Trainers are puzzled as to why EX-Raid gyms are suddenly disappearing. We will show you which gyms are typically designated for EX-Raids and share a theory on this, held by some players.
What are EX-Raids? In EX-Raids, you fight against monsters that have not yet appeared in the wild. To participate in an EX-Raid, you need an invitation from the game or from a friend. You earn this invitation by successfully completing raids at those specific gyms. So far, the EX-Raid boss Mewtwo, which is now available in regular raids. Its successor is Deoxys.
EX-Raid gyms suddenly disappearing
For the past few days, EX-Raid gyms have been marked with tags in the upper right corner. More and more players are now reporting that gyms no longer carry these tags, even though they have previously qualified as EX-Raid gyms. An EX-Raid gym has not been marked as such since the change.
Reports from the community: On Reddit, the topic has already been discussed. The user gabumon34 writes: “A gym that distributed EX-Raid invitations multiple times does not have a mark!”
Twitter user MrFrischi also confirms the disappearance.

Some gyms have already lost their new mark: Some gyms that had previously carried a mark due to the change have since lost it again.
Are there no EX-Raids taking place there? The community is divided on this issue. Since Mewtwo became catchable in regular raids, there has not been an EX-Raid. The new EX-Raid Pokémon Deoxys has been announced, but invitations for a raid have not yet been distributed. So it cannot yet be confirmed that gyms without a mark truly do not host EX-Raids.
YouTuber also talks about the disappearance: Regarding the disappearance, YouTuber “Hong & Friends” made a video. From minute 0:53, he talks about a missing EX-Raid gym in his vicinity.

Trainers speculate: This is how Niantic may select EX-Raid gyms
Players have the following theory: Every week there is a new wave of invitations to EX-Raids. However, there can only be one EX-Raid in a certain area per week. Niantic wants to give players hints that they have a chance of receiving an invitation to an EX-Raid at gyms with a mark. Once a wave of EX-Raid invitations has been distributed, the marks can transfer to other gyms. However, these must also meet the requirements of an EX-Raid gym.
Also, in the above-linked video, the theory is discussed from minute 4:10.
The new EX-Raid boss Deoxys
How has an EX-Raid gym been recognized so far? So far, it has been easy to identify an EX-Raid gym. With a few exceptions, all gyms located in a park and thus also in a nest were EX-Raid gyms. If enough raids had taken place before, EX-Raids with Mewtwo could be triggered there. Therefore, the probability of having such a gym in your city was previously high.
Fortnite: Battle Royale is constantly drawing attention with its dances. The moves from the game have now been performed live by a Korean pop band on a US late-night show.
What happened? In the USA, “The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon” is a big deal, watched by many viewers. On average, around 11 million viewers tune in every time when host Jimmy Fallon is on stage doing his antics or performing sketches. Recently, the K-Pop band BTS (Beyond the Scene) was featured on the show.
The band is one of the few K-Pop groups that is successful outside of Asia. They will even perform here in Berlin on October 16 and 17.
Fortnite dances and pop songs: After BTS got the audience squealing (with joy) with their hits “Idol” and “I’m Fine”, a special highlight began.
Together with host Jimmy Fallon, a Fortnite dance contest was showcased. The band members and the host had to perform a series of popular Fortnite dances. Among them were fan favorites like “Orange Justice”, “Floss” and “Best Mates”.
You can see what all this looked like in the video embedded above. Have fun!
Fortnite dances are becoming more well-known
Fortnite is becoming more mainstream: The dance contest on the Jimmy Fallon show once again shows how relevant Fortnite has become. In recent times, the colorful battle royale game has managed to catch the public eye several times. These include Fortnite dances at sporting events, even at the 2018 World Cup.
Dances are also under criticism: Some artists do not appreciate when Epic uses their moves without permission in the game, leading everyone to think that the dances originated from the game. Hence, there have already been lawsuits against Fortnite, especially from rappers.
With the Pet Update, the world of Conan Exiles receives a new god and religion: Jhebbal Sag. How to unlock the religion and what advantages you get, find out here.
Jhebbal Sag, the Lord of Beasts: In the religion of Jhebbal Sag, everything revolves around wild animals and nature. As a follower of Jhebbal Sag, you primarily work with the new companion system and gain advantages for hunting and taming wild animals.
An altar of Jhebbal Sag
Jhebbal Sag – Unlocking in the Midnight Grove
The new religion of Jhebbal Sag is not available to you like the other religions during character creation, as it was the case with the religion of Derketo. You must unlock it first.
To unlock it, you need to go to the new dungeon Midnight Grove and defeat “Jhebbal Sag’s Champion,” one of the bosses in the dungeon. The Midnight Grove is designed for several high-level players. How to gain access to the Midnight Grove, you can find out in our guide.
Once you have defeated the boss, you need to harvest his corpse – preferably with a pickaxe. You will then receive “Flesh of Remembrance.” Eating the flesh will teach you the recipe for the first tier of the altar of Jhebbal Sag.
Benefits for Followers of Jhebbal Sag
Religious Resource – Blood: To expand the temple further and for some of the recipes, you will need blood. Religious resources can be collected from defeated enemies, similar to other religions.
You need a “Bloodletter Knife” to do this. With the religious tool, you can collect blood from the corpses of defeated foes.
Defeat foes to “harvest” blood from them.
What benefits does Jhebbal Sag offer? As a follower of Jhebbal Sag, you are excellent hunters with many advantages for hunting and taming animals. You will receive a whole range of useful items:
Bait to lure wild animals
Night vision potions
Signs of Jhebbal Sag
Claws of Jhebbal Sag
presumably the True Name of Jhebbal Sag
The signs of Jhebbal Sag leave a seal on the ground. If a wild, untamed animal steps on this seal, it will be sacrificed to Jhebbal Sag. If he likes your sacrifice, he will send you a champion that you must defeat. From the champions, you will receive resources for crafting more religious items.
Other religions offer the “True Name” of the god to summon the god’s avatar. It is already known that the avatar for Jhebbal Sag is available. So there will likely be a True Name as well. Jhebbal Sag’s avatar is a giant predator bird that you can fly over the battlefield.
Claws of Jhebbal Sag – unique weapons: The most significant feature of the religion of Jhebbal Sag is the claws that you can craft as a loyal follower. The claws are religious weapons and behave in combat somewhat like daggers.
However, they have a wholly unique attack style. When you wear the claws, you move crouched and stalking like a werewolf or a werehyena. The combos of the claws are unique and different from any other weapon implemented so far. In the video, you can take a closer look at the claws.

This is how you get the Infraction in Destiny 2. The exotic hand cannon is tied to a quest.
Malfeasance quest is now live: With the weekly reset on September 25th, the curse in the Dreaming City has spread particularly strongly, unlocking some new content. This includes an exotic quest for the Infraction. The exotic weapon is called “Malfeasance” in English and is highly sought after.
Note: The following contains many spoilers related to the exotic quest for the Infraction.
This is how you get the Malfeasance quest
Random enemies in Gambit: First, you need a bit of luck. You have to play Gambit matches and hope that an Ascendant Primeval spawns.
This specific Primeval is a Possessed Servitor:
There is probably no specific trick to ensure this Primeval spawns. It is random whether this or a “normal” Primeval appears with 75 particles in the bank.
The Ascendant Primeval is the boss of both teams in that round. You need to defeat it before the enemy team to ensure you receive the exotic quest.
There are user reports that you can also randomly receive the quest if the enemy team defeats the Primeval – but play it safe and defeat it yourself.
The first quest step is then “The Wailing Heart”.
Important: The chance for the Infraction quest remains even after the peak of the curse, that is, after the end of the respective third week. However, the likelihood of the Ascendant Primeval spawning is higher during the final third curse week.
The path to the Infraction
Step 1: Go to the Wandering Guardian in the Tower and show him the Wailing Heart.
Step 2 – City of Secrets: You need to search in the Dreaming City for the trail of a thief who stole from the Wandering Guardian.
Therefore, you must defeat 25 Possessed bosses and Possessed minibosses in the Dreaming City. You can find Possessed enemies with yellow or orange health bars almost everywhere, such as in public events, lost sectors, or directly in the open world.
Step 3 – The Corrupted: Complete the mission “The Corrupted”. This is the mission variant of the eponymous strike in the Dreaming City. The mission is displayed on the map and recommends a power level of 580. On reddit a user reports that you can play this mission with 6 Guardians. Start it with three Guardians, three others can join afterward.
Step 4 – Exhausted Weapon Core: Speak with the Wandering Guardian in the Tower again.
Gambit and more Gambit
Step 5 – The Usual Path: Win Gambit matches and collect particles.
A victory gives 10%, a loss deducts nothing. So you need 10 Gambit victories.
5 particles give 1%. Other users report that 4 particles give 1%. If you die while holding particles, a few percentages of your progress will be deducted. So collect 400 to 500 particles and do not die in the process.
Step 6 – Lights Out:
As an Invader in Gambit, defeat 25 enemies.
A allied Guardian must defeat four opposing Guardians as an Invader in three Invasion phases or you must defeat four opposing Guardians yourself as an Invader in one Invasion phase.
If you are not very good in PvP, an ally can make the 4 Invasion kills for you. If they do so in one Invasion phase, your progress will increase by 33%. Overall, an ally must do this for you three times – or you do it once yourself.
Step 7 – Dark Weapon Core: Speak with the Wandering Guardian in the Tower. Now he will give you the Infraction.
The entire quest line is shown to you by Nexxoss Gaming in the video:

Infraction is an exotic hand cannon with 180 rate of fire and 78 impact. Here are the stats:
These perks define the Infraction:
Explosive Shadow: Fires corrupted rounds that burrow into an enemy. If enough rounds are stacked, they explode.
Possessed Hunter: Bonus damage against Possessed enemies and Gambit Invaders.
In the lore tab of the weapon, the Wandering Guardian speaks to you: “A long time ago, I searched for a replacement for a weapon called “Dorn“. It is not a replacement, but for me it is better. We built it together. And when we all have one in our hands? Then even the man with the Golden Gun should hesitate. Maybe we cannot shoot faster than him. Perhaps no one can. But if we all shoot together? Then we don’t have to be faster than him. Then he will die too.”
With Friday the 13th: The Game, the current developer is stepping down. The team is moving on to new projects after a legal dispute. The slasher was incredibly successful just a year ago.
The developer IllFonic is stopping the development of Friday the 13th: The Game. The publisher Gun Media has announced that IllFonic has completed all “contractual work” and will focus on other projects in the future.
Developer may not create new content: A few weeks ago, we reported that IllFonic is not allowed to develop new content for Friday the 13th: The Game. The reason is a legal dispute in which the creator of the original work is attempting to reclaim the rights to his works – and consequently to everything that has developed from it, such as a PC game.
As a result, the work on new content has been put on hold. This is not sustainable for a development studio. Therefore, they are now completely moving on from it.
Bug fixes will continue: However, the project will not be completely buried. Even though there will be no new content, the teams from Black Tower Games and Gun Media will take over support for the slasher.
They will continue to handle bug fixes and balancing changes.
Uncertain future: Whether and how new content for Friday the 13th: The Game will be available in the future is still uncertain. The legal dispute must be resolved first, and that could take a while.
It remains to be seen whether anyone will be willing to continue developing a game that has been “lying fallow” for several months.
The Summer Hit of 2017
A phenomenon last year: This is a strange fate for a game that was still considered an absolute surprise hit in the summer of 2017. At that time, Friday the 13th was booming on Twitch.
The launch of the actually small indie project caused the servers to melt down back then. Streamers and their viewers loved the clunky mix, in which a killer pursues some campers.
But a year later, the hype seems to have almost completely faded. During the peak phase in May 2017, there were still 7683 players per hour, but now it has fallen to 321, according to the Githyp page. The numbers refer to the Steam version.
Will you continue to play Friday the 13th: The Game? Or has the game become completely boring without new content, and would you rather turn to Dead by Daylight with dismembered killer women?

The horses in Red Dead Redemption 2 will play an important role according to Rockstar. Consequently, there will be various gear items for your loyal steeds.
The horses in RDR 2 are your constant companions and are just as much a part of the gang as the human members. They are therefore firmly integrated into the gameplay of the game, and this does not refer to the shrinking testicles.
What horses will be in Red Dead Redemption 2? Rockstar has announced that there will be 19 different horse breeds in the game. These include noble animals like Mustangs or Arabians. Each horse breed has its own peculiarities and characteristics. These will be reflected not only in the status values but also in the control and behavior of the animals.
Your very own horse: Players will have access to various customization options for the appearance and equipment of their horses. According to Rockstar, there will be 59 different coat patterns and various sets of riding gear. This includes:
Saddle
Saddle bags
Stirrups
Spurs
Bridle
There will also be cosmetic items for the mane and tail. You will be able to tune, pimp, and personalize your pony or horse as you wish.
What benefits does the equipment bring? The riding equipment not only has a pretty appearance but also practical benefits: In the saddlebag, players can store their weapons, outfits, and many other useful items.
Smaller animals and birds that you hunted can be attached to the saddle. Larger prey, on the other hand, will be strapped behind the saddle over the horse’s back.
How do you get a new horse? If something happens to your old horse or you simply want to look for another steed, there are various ways to acquire new horses. You can:
Catch and tame horses in the wild.
Buy steeds from a merchant
Use various, not-so-legal methods to obtain a new steed
Red Dead Redemption will be available from October 26.
In Red Dead Redemption 2 there are additionally many other animals that are also important for the gameplay:
Paladin Rextroy has once again broken the boundaries of World of Warcraft. He defeated a current raid boss in less than one second.
We have reported on Paladin Rextroy several times on MeinMMO. He soloed the worldbreaker Garothi. Again and again, he showcases particularly cool combinations of gameplay mechanics that allow for solo kills of raid bosses.
A few days ago, he also killed Vectis, a current raid boss from Uldir – and he needed less than one second for it!

How does the kill work? The majority of the video is preparation. For this, Rextroy had to pull a specific Hozen into the Fort Daelin camp. For some reason, the Hozen does not take damage from the guards, allowing Rextroy to drag the Hozen through the entire camp and gather more and more guards. The guards cast a battle shout every few seconds that increases the damage of allied units by 50% – this also applies to players and is stackable!
Thus, Rextroy gathers more and more guards until he has the appropriate buff on him several dozens of times. Once enough of the buffs are active simultaneously, he has a warlock summon him into the raid, as he has only a short window of a few seconds.
Rextroy doesn’t need any more than that, as after less than one second, the boss is on the ground.
Blizzard was warned: After Rextroy records his videos, he immediately contacts Blizzard and reveals what kind of error he has found. This gives Blizzard enough time to fix the error before the video goes live on YouTube. The errors or exploitable gameplay mechanics he finds are always reported promptly.
Banned and free again: Rextroy was banned for a month after his last video, and some players found that justified. However, the ban was lifted after just a few hours. Apparently, there was a communication problem between Blizzard US and Blizzard EU.
Rextroy is already looking for new mechanics that he can use to achieve particularly absurd accomplishments. It’s only a matter of time until he finds something again …
What do you think of this achievement? A brilliant idea and a cool detail that he found? Or should someone like this be banned permanently?

Some Titans in Destiny 2 are loudly demanding: Zavala must go. The head of the Titans has few fans in the game. Titans want a dashing new leader: Lord Shaxx.
Current petition: A petition is currently circulating on the Destiny 2 subreddit. Title: “Promote Shaxx to Titan Vanguard and demote Zavala to a mailman.”
With over 5000 upvotes, the Guardians show their support for the dashing Lord Shaxx and their aversion to Zavala.
Lord Shaxx
Guardians love Shaxx: In the post, the Guardians especially rave about the thundering and booming voice of Lord Shaxx. They recount how they once felt downcast until the Crucible announcer encouraged them and urged them to take out more people in the Crucible.
A call they eagerly complied with.
Such a man of bloody deeds is what Titans wish to have as their direct superior. After all, it seems even the Queen of the Awoken, Mara Sov, has taken a liking to Shaxx.
However, our article will not be about Shaxx; we at MeinMMO have a heart for outsiders and will take a look at Zavala.
What do people have against Zavala? In the trio of main characters from Destiny 2, Zavala takes on the role of the admonishing and cautious father. He is, in a way, the voice of reason.
Again and again, Zavala advises caution and to proceed thoughtfully. He is the serious counterpoint to the other characters. This was made clear early on by Destiny 2.
In the iconic opening sequence of Destiny 2 “Rally the Troops”:
Zavala speaks solemnly and with pathos. He appeals to the honor and endurance of the Guardians
while Cayde-6 is the laid-back guy who insults his people and promises them loot and the protection of puppies.
This seriously grumpy role has been played by Zavala since Destiny 1. However, players’ displeasure is mainly fueled by this new cutscene from Forsaken:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLjWfMt68h4
Here Zavala tempered Ikora Rey’s bloodlust. He prevented her from deciding to go all out against Uldren Sov and cautioned her to be careful. Guardians are not conquerors but are responsible for protecting the last city.
Zavala’s tactic seems to be to keep pulling back, avoiding conflicts, and preserving what one still has: the home, the people, the Traveler. He refuses to involve more friends. Ikora Rey even accuses him of cowardice.
Has Zavala lost his focus? Many people take this scene poorly from Zavala. He was also the one in the Destiny 2 campaign who said that one should not protect the Traveler but must save the people.
Zavala represents the role of the Titan: Zavala symbolizes the dilemma that Titans face in his narrative role. In the story of Destiny 2, Zavala plays the protector, who creates a dome and urges his friends to be cautious.
However, player Titans in Destiny tend to see themselves more as wild brawlers who fight at the forefront, swinging a big hammer or jumping into action with rockets.
Even though Zavala has had to endure quite a bit from heavy strokes of fate in recent months, we believe here that Zavala will regain his footing and that Titans should continue to stand with their Vanguard.
Besides, Shaxx simply has to remain the Crucible announcer.
New servers are being launched for the online survival game ARK: Survival Evolved, where you will fight for survival in fast-paced, action-packed battles.
With the Conquest servers, ARK takes on a bit of the character of a battle royale game. 100 players will fight each other on the map, while collecting resources and taming animals takes a back seat.
Large PvP battles in ARK
How does Conquest work? With the Conquest servers, you have the opportunity to participate in large PvP battles that take place much faster than on regular servers.
Collecting resources and taming creatures takes only half as long
You earn experience points twice as fast
Four tribes with up to 25 players compete against each other
Instead of a maximum of 70 players, 100 players are allowed on the Conquest servers
The focus is on the battles
The mode is mainly aimed at those who want to engage more in the battles in ARK
The developers want to offer an exciting and faster gameplay experience with this mode for clans
When do the new servers start? The Conquest servers will open on PC on September 28. Players on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will have to wait a bit longer. A release date will be announced soon.
How many servers are there? Initially, 36 servers will launch on September 28, offering different maps. Depending on how the mode is received by fans, this could be expanded further.
The community is excited about the battles
This is how the community reacts:The players of ARK are very curious to see how the online game plays on the Conquest servers. Will it really feel like a battle royale? How does the game change when the focus is on battles and everything else takes a back seat? However, there are also voices from the community who express some disappointment that the servers focus on PvP, since there are already official PvP servers.
Other players explain, however, that new PvE-servers could disrupt the balance, as players would spread across too many servers, which could harm trading. Therefore, new PvP servers are understandable. From September 28, we will see how the new Conquest servers are received.
Battlerite Royale is coming today, on September 26, 2018. The new trailer impressively shows what to expect in this top-down battle royale game.
What is Battlerite Royale? Behind this name is a battle royale spin-off of Battlerite. The original game Battlerite is a colorful arena brawler. This refers to a game that utilizes the fast-paced real-time combat and skill shots of a MOBA but focuses solely on the fights.
How does the gameplay work?Battlerite Royale features 20 heroes from Battlerite, each with their gameplay, on a large island. There, in typical battle royale fashion, all 20 players will battle until only one remains.
The map is 30 times larger than the small arenas you usually play in. Alternatively, you can compete in duo teams. That means a total of ten pairs will be in play.
Different from Fortnite and Co.
What distinguishes Battlerite Royale from other BR games?
There are only 20 players instead of the usual 100 in the genre
You control your heroes using the WASD keys from a top-down perspective, aiming your skill shots with the mouse.
Each of your heroes has their own skills, strengths, and weaknesses
Your heroes start the game armed, but lack skills and better equipment bonuses. You must search for better gear and additional skills inside colorful orbs.
There are items that temporarily transform you into huge monsters. Then you are particularly deadly to your enemies.
What is the trailer about? The first big trailer for Battlerite Royale shows what the gameplay looks like from the top-down perspective. As is common in the genre, the map gradually shrinks.
When is Battlerite Royale coming out? The release of the new mode is set for today, September 26.
So far, there have been no special skin bundles for Fortnite: Battle Royale for Xbox. That is now changing. There is a new bundle for the Xbox One S that includes new exclusive Fortnite skins.
The leak was correct: Already in mid-September 2018, a leak surfaced that announced an exclusive package only for Xbox. This was a small sensation for many fans of Microsoft’s console, as they had been missing out on all actions so far.
Now it is clear: The next bundle is just for you, dear Xbox fans!
All about the Xbox bundle
What’s in the package? The Fortnite package for Xbox includes the following contents:
An Xbox One S console with 1 terabyte of storage
A wireless Xbox controller
Pre-installed Fortnite: Battle Royale
The Eon skin set, consisting of:
Eon character outfit
Resonator pickaxe
Aurora glider
2,000 V-Bucks (in-game currency worth approximately 20 euros)
1 month free trial of Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold
What will the package cost? So far, only the US prices are known. Thus, the bundle is expected to be available for 299.99 US dollars. A Euro price is not known but should typically be the same. We will provide you with new information as soon as we know more.
When will the bundle be released? According to the site Dualshockers, the bundle is expected to be released in the USA within the week. We inquired with Epic and learned that it should also be released here in the country within the week.
Is the package worth it? The included goodies are definitely tempting and the V-Bucks alone are worth 20 euros. The price matches the regular price of an Xbox One S.
If anyone wanted to get such a console anyway and is also into Battle Royale, they can’t go wrong here.
It has been almost two weeks since the first team was able to defeat the final boss of the raid “Last Wish” in Destiny 2. Since then, the Dreaming City has changed even more, revealing more secrets.
With the weekly reset on September 25, the Dreaming City has entered its third week since the first defeat of the raid’s final boss.
Since then, the city has continued to change and seems to have reached the peak of its curse, assuming a three-week cycle. However, the more the curse progresses, the more secrets the Dreaming City reveals.
Dark and Dismal: The Dreaming City
What does the city look like in the third week? The curse pronounced by the final boss of the “Last Wish” raid has massively altered the city in the third week. All around, the Taken are spreading, and their decay permeates the area that was recently still beautiful.
Where the Dreaming City was once a sunny landscape, as if it had come out of a “Lord of the Rings” movie, it is now a polluted eyesore on a cold rainy day. Even the music has changed and is now more melancholic and dark.
Players now assume that this statement is to be taken literally, and that the curse in the Dreaming City worsens for three weeks before the area resets to its original state.
How this will happen and whether the fading will be explained in the story is still unknown.
Guardians are Excited About New Secrets and Exotic Weapons
In the third week after defeating the raid, several secrets have already been revealed that Guardians have been waiting for.
Guardians can now obtain their bow: The questline for the exotic bow Wish-Ender is now live. With the weekly reset, the mission “The Broken Throne” is now available, leading players to the bow. However, this questline is only for high-level Guardians: Challengers in the quest have power levels between 570 and 590, which is higher than what the raid requires.
Players can also get “Hand Cannon”:The quest for the hand cannon Hand Cannon was discovered after the reset. However, this is somewhat dependent on chance, as players only receive the task if the special enemy “Ascendant Risen” spawns in Gambit.
What do you think of the changes in the Dreaming City? Are you jumping right into the weapon quests or have you already discovered new secrets?
Blizzard thanks the creator of DeadlyBossMods, a popular addon for World of Warcraft. Three big packages were waiting for the creator of DBM, who was in need.
Recently, we reported that Mystical OS, the author of the WoW addon Deadly Boss Mods, received great help from the community after he opened up about his life. He has health issues, has to care for his mother, and works entirely alone on the addon, which fills his daily life completely. Now, there was also a gift from Blizzard.
Gaming PC with accessories: MysticalOS showed some photos of a delivery he received. In total, there were three big packages from Blizzard and MSI that are sure to make any gamer’s heart race.
He is now the proud owner of a new high-end PC with plenty of peripherals (keyboard, headset, monitor). Blizzard also included a Collector’s Edition of World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth and had it signed by many developers – this should significantly increase its collector’s value.
Thank-you letter from Blizzard: A letter from the Warcraft team was included with the packages, which says, among other things:
“MSI and we want to thank you for all the hard work you have put into DeadlyBossMods over the years, but also for your passion in helping raid players and the WoW community in general. You have lowered the entry barrier of difficult bosses for many players, and we love the enthusiasm you bring to it. We hope this small token of our appreciation takes some stress off your shoulders.”
A story with a happy ending: MysticalOS is now likely doing better financially as well. After revealing his story, the number of his supporters on Patreon, a site where people can financially support artists, has drastically increased. From previously 500 supporters, it has now risen to 3,000 who donate a small amount to him monthly.
We look at the best camera settings in FIFA 19. Which setting is worth it for your playstyle, what camera do the professionals use?
Change the camera individually. The default camera is not the optimal setting in FIFA 19 – hardly any professional player uses it.
Because there are better camera settings that can provide you with various advantages in this year’s Ultimate Team mode. The Swedish number one professional player (currently number four in the world) “BorasLegend” has examined the best variants.

You can change the camera permanently in the “Game Settings” before a match, but the camera settings are also available to you during a match under “Game Settings”.
Possible camera settings: Here you have several cameras for the modes, such as the single-player, multiplayer, or “Pro Clubs” camera. For FUT 19, you need to choose the multiplayer camera. There you will find these camera perspectives:
Standard
Broadcast Tele
Tele
Co-op
Dynamic
Long View
Broadcast
You can also individually influence camera height and camera zoom.
Every player plays differently. There is no such thing as a perfect camera in general. Nevertheless, there are three settings that you should take a closer look at according to “BorasLegend”. Depending on your playstyle and game mode, these camera settings can benefit your playstyle.
Co-op – the “Possession Camera”
Plenty of Overview: You should use the “Co-op” camera if you are mainly playing in Pro Clubs. It provides you with a great overview of the field, which is helpful when playing with multiple Pro Club players.
Especially players who go for ball possession prefer this camera setting. However, it lacks a bit of closeness to the field, making movements in tight spaces more difficult – this camera is less suitable for dribblers.
Classic – The “Combination Camera”
The detailed variant: The “classic” camera setting is widely used and resembles the standard camera. However, it is even closer to the action and thus especially suitable for players who combine quickly in tight spaces. Compared to the “Co-op” camera, however, it lacks long-range visibility.
Broadcast Tele – The “Hybrid Camera” of the Professionals
The all-rounder: The “Broadcast Tele” setting is the favorite camera for many professionals, which they use in FUT and other online matches. And that’s for a simple reason: It offers a good balance between overview and detail representation. This means: it is suitable for situations where ball possession is required, but also for combination and dribbling. It does not cover extremes, but is suitable for all-round players.
Broadcast Tele can be found in the game settings under “Camera”. Set the multiplayer camera and the single-player camera for FUT this way
Which settings are recommended? If you need even more overview, you can set the camera settings to “Custom” and then raise the camera height to 20 and lower the camera zoom to 0.
First set to “Custom”, then you can influence the remaining stats
Find the camera setting that best suits your style. Then you should notice, for example, in Ultimate Team that starting the new season becomes easier. Also, in this year’s Career Mode, you have the camera options available again.
