In The Division today, on October 6th, is the big vendor reset. We present to you the items from the vendors that are particularly worthwhile.
At the beginning of October, it is very calm again in The Division. The next global event will start in a few weeks, and the new shield is not here yet.
Nevertheless, a visit to Manhattan is worthwhile, because the new vendor reset from October 6th brings some interesting equipment for you, including a rare G36C. Here you have the best offers at a glance.
Recommended Weapons since October 6th
Special Equipment Vendor: Liberator with Predatory, Focused and Competent. These talents are particularly suitable for PvE activities. You can replace Focused based on your preference for Destructive, Malevolent or Resolute.
DZ Park Ave: MG5 with Destructive, Prepared and Competent. While the MG5 is mainly popular in PvP, with these talents the weapon is also useful in PvE. Replace Prepared with Precise, Predatory, Nimble or Careful.
Wolves Den: M4 Lightweight with Focused, Vengeful and Competent. Good talents for PvP, but instead of Focused you should take either Predatory or Deadly.
E 46th St: G36C with Vengeful, Deadly and Focused. Comes with good PvP talents. Replace Focused with talents like Competent or Predatory. A G36 with good talents is rare, so you should grab it here.
DZ 03: LVOA-C with Predatory, Resolute and Talented. These talents are useful, especially for builds that are based on electronics. Depending on the build, you can also take Competent instead of Predatory.
In Season 6 of Fortnite: Battle Royale, the ultimate skin at level 100 is the werewolf. According to many players, it is the coolest skin ever in Fortnite. But what can the wolf do and how do you get it?
The ultimate skin in Season 6: When you reach level 100 in the Season 6 Battle Pass in Fortnite, you unlock a special skin. This time in Season 6 it is a werewolf, simply called “Wolf” (in English “Dire”).
What can the wolf do? The special thing about the wolf is that it is a werewolf. It has six different skin options:
Level 1: The wolf is still completely human here. It wears a headband and a jacket and somewhat resembles Karate Kid.
Level 2: The transformation begins. The wolf is still roughly human but hairy and animalistic.
Level 3: The wolf is now a werewolf. It has the typical wolf muzzle, claws, wolf legs, and fur. Its fur is brownish in this form. Curiously, it now carries nunchaku on its belt.
Level 4: The appearance of the wolf is identical to level 3, but the colors are different. Its fur is now grayish.
Level 5: Here, the colors have changed again. The wolf is now wearing a more white fur.
Level 6: The final form of the wolf is especially noticeable for its black fur.
Wolf 1
Wolf 2
Wolf 3
Wolf 4
Wolf 5
Wolf 6
Players love the wolf
What players say: For many players, the wolf is a real eye-catcher for which one would gladly grind 100 levels in the Battle Pass. There are various reasons for this:
The wolf is a clear homage to iconic 80s movies, including Teen Wolf or Karate Kid.
Some players recognize the character Ryu from the game Street Fighter in the wolf.
Others believe that the wolf resembles the character Crash Bandicoot.
Many find that the wolf is much cooler than John Wick from Season 3. Wick also became a symbol for humorless tryhards at that time.
Moreover, the wolf just looks wonderfully ridiculous when it performs the many emotes that are currently in the game. But see for yourself:

Fun fact: The term werewolf has nothing to do with a pronoun. “Wer” simply means “man” in Germanic. Thus, a werewolf is a “man-wolf,” which aptly describes the creature.
How do you get the wolf and what else is there?
This is how you quickly get to level 100: To get the wolf, you first have to unlock all 100 levels in the Battle Pass. Thanks to the challenges every week, this goes quite fast. Additionally, if you regularly play Fortnite and especially win more often (this works especially well in the 50vs50 mode), you will gain even more XP and level up a few additional ranks.
https://youtu.be/HEVGGBkCo_Y
How do I unlock the variants for the wolf? To make the wolf really rock, you need the additional variants. These are available from the following XP totals:
Level 2: 30,000 XP
Level 3: 70,000 XP
Level 4: 120,000 XP
Level 5: 180,000 XP
Level 6: 250,000 XP
This impressive amount of XP is ideally earned through challenges and victories, as that way you always get plenty of XP.
What if I can’t make it by the end of Season 6? No worries, since Season 5 you no longer need to unlock all variants in one season. So you have as long as Fortnite exists to unlock the variants.
You can only earn the wolf itself in Season 6. So hurry up.
More bling for the wolf
What else is there? The wolf has a few other cool options up its sleeve:
If you unlock 5 options for the wolf, you get a back bling called “Wolfpack” katana.
If you unlock a total of 20 weekly challenges, you get a blue color option for the wolf’s outfit.
If you unlock a total of 40 weekly challenges, you get a yellow color option for the wolf’s outfit.
If you unlock a total of 60 weekly challenges, you get a gray color option for the wolf’s outfit.
What about a harvesting tool? It seems there is currently no dedicated pickaxe for the wolf.
This is the back bling for the wolf.
Is there more to come? As always, there should be a female version of the wolf available in the shop towards the end of Season 6. After all, in Seasons 4 and 5, we had the skins Oblivion and Valkyrie as female counterparts to Omega and Ragnarök.
What do you think of the wolf? Or does your heart beat more for its opponent, Cowgirl Calamity?

Bungie breaks with tradition: For the first time, there will be no additional difficulty level for a raid in Destiny. The Destiny 2 raid “Last Wish” will thus do without a Prestige mode.
In every raid that Bungie has released so far, there has been some form of an additional difficulty level. In Destiny 2, there has been the Prestige mode, which offered new modifiers for the Leviathan raid and the two raid encounters as well as new mechanics for the main raid.
The answer to this question may disappoint many. Because as Bungie announced in the latest “This Week at Bungie” blog, things will be different with the Forsaken expansion. There will be no Prestige mode for the raid “Last Wish”.
Conscious decision: This step was justified with a difficult but conscious decision in favor of a multifaceted endgame. With Forsaken, Bungie wanted to create an experience that offers more variations and rewards in the endgame for the Guardians. There should also be enough unique endgame activities outside the raid to earn worthwhile rewards.
When deciding on this approach, the focus was on developing a single version of the raid that has no tiers and is still very rewarding – the best rewards should be available to anyone who successfully fights through.
Last Wish is structured differently: You can also see this in the structure of “Last Wish”. The Forsaken raid starts with a recommended power level of 550. However, as the raid progresses, it scales much more than its predecessors.
Normally, raids stay at about the same level – only the final boss is significantly higher in terms of power level. However, “Last Wish” continuously scales from encounter to encounter and ends with a fight against Riven at power level 580.
Additional challenge in the Forsaken raid: However, Guardians will not have to go without an additional challenge. If the Forsaken raid in its current form does not provide a suitable challenge, players can try the 13th wish. This raises the bar in “Last Wish” to a whole different level even without new modifiers or boss mechanics.
What about the upcoming raid content? It is still unknown whether Bungie will maintain this design decision for the upcoming raid encounters. However, as the studio announced, more information about the new encounter should be available soon. This is set to be introduced in December 2018 for owners of the Annual Pass with the Annual Pass content “Black Armory” coming to the game.
Monster Hunter World will receive its second major update on October 4th. The Autumn Harvest Festival will be released along with new armors and a bunch of event quests.
What is the Autumn Harvest Festival? The Autumn Harvest Festival is a seasonal event in Monster Hunter World, where hunters will have plenty to do. All past event quests will be available as well as new ones specifically for the festival.
The festival is themed around Halloween. You will receive a ghost armor for your Palico and a pumpkin-carved armor for your hunter.
When is the autumn event? The festival starts on October 4th at 00:00 and ends on October 18th at 23:59. The update will be released overnight from Wednesday to Thursday.
The update is free.

There are ongoing discussions about the Azerite armor in World of Warcraft. Blizzard has now released plans on how the system will be improved.
Azerite armor should be easier to obtain: Community Manager Lore has outlined in the official WoW forums some changes to the Azerite system that are yet to come:
It should be easier to obtain better armor pieces
and the armor will generally be strengthened
The Azerite system is constantly being improved
The problem: One of the biggest problems with the Azerite system has been that Azerite armors are much harder to obtain at item level 370 than between levels 325 and 340. Blizzard has taken that feedback from the community.
Here’s how it is now: Currently, through Emissary quests, Azerite pieces with a maximum item level of 340 can be obtained, as the pieces cannot be warforged.
What will change: In the future, this limit is supposed to increase to up to 370 depending on the equipped item level. That’s at least the provisional solution.
The developers decided on Emissary quests as a new source, as this content is accessible to every player, not just those who play PvE or PvP content intensively.
More and better traits: The armors themselves should also become stronger. In the “BfA Season 2,” as the developers call it, Azerite pieces will receive a fifth ring in the outer segment.
The traits themselves will also be revised. So that not the “easiest” traits remain the strongest, some of them will be adjusted, and new ones will be introduced. This should give all classes more opportunities to specialize.
Everything will be even stronger: After some criticism, Lore published a supplement to the new system. Along with the Siege of Zuldazar, all equipment obtained from all content should become stronger.
New Azerite items, such as those from Mythic+ dungeons, will already have 5 rings. However, old armor will not be retroactively strengthened.
As the average item level increases, the limit of item level 370 for Azerite armor from Emissary quests will also be raised. The obtained item level continues to scale with your character’s.
When will the changes come? The strengthened armor will only appear with the new raid Siege of Zuldazar in Patch 8.1.
Some of the other changes, such as the better Azerite pieces from Emissary quests, are “of higher priority” and will probably come soon.
One of the most important features on players’ wishlists PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) has long been a region lock. But that is now causing problems, since it is here.
Anyone who has followed the PUBG scene a bit in recent months will have seen this one big wish from the community. Players wanted a region lock so that Chinese players could only play on servers in their region.
For a long time, the PUBG team was against such a feature. Now it is active and the community is noticing that it doesn’t work.
“Regional exclusion is the dumbest thing!”
What happened? The cries for regional matchmaking grew louder as many players from China came to servers in other regions.
They called for “Region Lock”: For the community, it was clear how to solve the cheating problem. With their demand for a region lock, they insisted that Chinese players could only play on servers in their region. No longer in NA or EU.
PUBG gives in: Originally, the PUBG team was against such a measure. Brendan Greene, known as PlayerUnknown, said “it just doesn’t work.”
Now they listened to the community’s wish, which had clearly expressed the demand for a region lock under the Steam posts of PUBG for months.
Okay, a kind of region lock is here: Since the latest PUBG update, players are supposed to be directed to servers in their region to play. Exceptions only exist if playing with a friend from another region. At least that was the plan.
Now players are angry: In the Steam forums, many PUBG players are now complaining about the region lock after the update:
There will probably be problems with ping.
Others are writing that they are now having trouble finding matches.
Again, others explain that they are now playing more often with cheaters.
One particular post stands out with the title “Regional exclusion is the dumbest thing yet” (via Steam forums).
On the Reddit forum for Destiny 2 currently, two stories are dominating the headlines, both revolving around the raid “Last Wish,” and they couldn’t be more different. One is really nice and uplifting – the other is the embodiment of evil.
On the reddit forum, the global community of Destiny 2 gathers. It’s a sort of “international forum.” While it had become quite a salt mine at times, the mood has improved significantly in the last month, since the expansion “Forsaken.”
Instead of lamenting their plight and demanding changes to Destiny 2 with “Bungo pls,” Guardians are now sharing stories from their gameplay experience again. Today at MeinMMO, we want to take a look at two recent stories.
The Great Achievement
The Good Story: A group of hearing-impaired players managed to clear the raid “Last Wish.”
This is a remarkable achievement because Guardians usually rely on verbal communication to coordinate their efforts. The hearing-impaired Guardians here depend on visual agreements.
The user funpak explains that he waved his arms around extraordinarily hard in the video conference to attract the attention of his fellow Guardians, when it came to the last orbs. But no one responded to him. So, he had to take matters into his own hands and was very relieved when they actually succeeded.
The Guardian says: “We are incredibly relieved to have mastered the most exciting raid that Bungie has ever created.”
Here’s Why It’s So Great: It’s simply a beautiful story that people overcome their handicap and achieve something that is also difficult for players without disabilities. We have previously reported on hearing-impaired Guardians and their successes in Destiny raids.
How the Fans React: Players in Destiny have already congratulated them enthusiastically, even though the story came in the middle of the night US time. The thread has over 3000 upvotes. Guardians are once again impressed by what players with disabilities can achieve. They are curiously asking how certain encounters were overcome and agree: The achievement is fantastic.
The Pure Evil
The Nasty Story: However, another story is even more popular, which is quite nasty.
A Guardian says: “In my last 3 raid clears, there was always one guy who desperately wanted the weapon One Thousand Voices. But it just doesn’t drop for him.”
Instead of pitying his unfortunate teammates, the Guardian has always pulled his own “1000 Voices” from his collection during the last three clears. And he did this just at the moment when the group opened the last chest so it seems like the weapon dropped for him.
The Guardian says: “I don’t want to be the bad guy, but I just can’t help it. Please send help.”
Here’s Why It’s So Nasty: The cruel thing here is that the unfortunate players already feel like they have bad luck and get it rubbed in their face even more by the drop for someone else.
How the Players React: The story is worth over 5000 upvotes for the Guardians, and community manager Dmg04 comments, “The Pure Evil.” Others say they should be blamed if they don’t realize that they are actually playing with Savathun herself. She is the Witch Queen of Destiny 2 and something like pure evil.
Money is essential in the Career Mode of FIFA 19 for almost everything. Here you will find tips on how to optimally deploy and improve your club’s finances.
When you enter the Career Mode, you will find that it is particularly difficult to upgrade your squad at the beginning. With top clubs, you already have top players – better players are correspondingly expensive.
Smaller clubs often face the problem of not having the necessary funds for large signings. Therefore, it is crucial to always keep an eye on your finances.
Keep an Eye on Your Budget
When you start your career, you should first choose a suitable club – unless you are already playing with your favorite club.
Thus, you should choose a high transfer budget: If you simply want to assemble the perfect team, it makes sense to select a club with a high transfer budget and low board expectations in terms of “finances”. Here, you enjoy almost financial freedom, but must achieve sporting success.
Conversely, smaller clubs require lower successes, but offer less money. Depending on the challenge you are looking for in your career, you should already pay attention to your decision here.
Tournaments Generate Money
Usually, you want to dive straight into the competition, but it’s better to hold off on the league for a moment. You should not miss out on the tournaments.
Therefore, you should participate in preparation tournaments: Even though preparation tournaments can be annoying, they can significantly enhance your transfer budget. Especially against prestigious opponents, you can expect high revenues – particularly if you win the tournaments. However, with higher opponent levels, the risk of being eliminated also increases.
On the field, you can already test out initial formations, players, and talents. And who knows: maybe you’ll even find players from the opponent that would fit well in your team.
Utilize the Transfer Market
Which players you should buy and sell: If you start with a top club, the chances are good that you already have players in your ranks that you can sell profitably.
Older players who don’t have much improvement potential are good candidates.
Talented players can bring in a lot of money – even if their rating is not that high yet.
Check the potential of the talents: Consider whether you can sell a talented player at a much higher price later or even better keep them in your squad. After all, some talents can become so strong that you cannot replace them at all. A list of the best talents and their potential can be found here:
This is how you deal with young talents: On the other hand, as a smaller club, you should focus on acquiring and developing young and talented players. These can often be acquired cheaply and quickly become important cornerstones of your team. Often, top talents achieve very high ratings within a year. Then an early sale may be worthwhile.
Thus, a loan deal is also advisable: If you lack the funds to buy such a talent, you could speculate on a loan deal and save money initially. Many top clubs offer their young players on loan to give them playing time. This way, as a smaller club, you can acquire real reinforcements at a low cost – and maybe even agree on a permanent transfer after the loan ends.
Pay attention to expiring contracts: Saving money in FIFA 19 Career Mode means making money. Therefore, you should focus on deploying your money profitably in the transfer market. Players whose contracts are about to expire offer an especially good value for money. In winter, you may already start negotiations with players whose contracts expire in summer.
The advantage of expiring contracts: These players do not cost a hefty transfer fee. Although you may only get them half a year later, with a bit of foresight, you can save a lot of money here.
This is how you find players with expiring contracts: Set up a scouting assignment for players whose contract is at 0 – 1 years.
The Transfer and Wage Budget
You want to acquire a player badly, but you’re missing the million for the transfer? Check whether you can shift your money in the “Club” menu under “Finances” and “Budget” to have enough for the deal.
This is how to shift the budget profitably: Every euro you add to the transfer budget is taken from your wage budget. It may happen that you can afford the transfer fee, but not the actual contract with the player.
Here, too, it is important to manage wisely: Don’t put all money into the transfer budget to buy the best players immediately. Think long-term instead and acquire big stars over several seasons.
If suddenly there is no wage budget available because you have put everything into transfer fees, you will no longer be able to meet the wage demands of existing players. And they may leave you in the next transfer window.
This is almost a money cheat for your career
It may be a bit of cheating, but if you just want to have a little fun with the career transfer market, the financial injection is the easiest way to earn money – or rather, to get it for free.
Here are the requirements for the financial injection: If you’ve been with FIFA for a while, you likely have enough FCC points unlocked in the EAS FC catalog to afford the financial injection. You need level 35 for that. You earn FCC points by completing multiple tasks in FIFA and playing matches. FCC points are also carried over from older FIFA games.
This is how to find the financial injection: If you select this option from the catalog menu (open by pressing the right stick in the main menu), a wealthy investor takes care of your club and gifts you a lot of money. Now nothing stands in the way of your dream team – and probably also the victory in the league, the cup, and in the Champions League.
Hopefully, you will be able to start your Career Mode well with these tips. If you prefer to be in FIFA Ultimate Team, you can find some starting tips here:
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, the training mode “Creative” has received an update. You can now adjust various parameters. This is well-received, but players want even more customization options. Most importantly, they want old weapons back.
A new update is now coming that offers you even more options for Creative.
New Creative with Custom Parameters
This is what the new Creative brings: With the update of Creative, you now have the choice: You can play as usual. Or you set your own rules for the round using the “Custom Options” button. These options were once in the game, but were temporarily removed due to bugs.
Now the options are back and include:
Shields are automatically full or half-full.
You have full health or less.
Your items will drop when you die, or not.
There is fall damage or none.
The gravity is normal, low, or very low.
Should there be a day/night cycle in the gameplay, or should it always be day or night,
Constant display of player names and positions, only in a team, or not at all.
More fun thanks to options: With these parameters, you can do all sorts of fun new things in Creative. This includes absurd bounce houses with minimal gravity or epic shootouts with full shields.
And players who constantly fall from somewhere will surely appreciate the option to disable fall damage.
The new options are well-received by Fortnite fans. However, there are still some wishes that fans are requesting as additional customization options:
Alternative spawn options
Direct fall instead of gliding
Limited weapon selection, for example, only sniper rifles or only shotguns
Adjustable time limit for when the storm arrives
Players Want All Weapons: The most cherished wish of the community, however, is an option that ALL weapons that have ever existed in the game can appear in Creative.
Whether Epic will comply with this is still unclear. But it wouldn’t be the first time that the developers implement a wish from the community. That’s why there is now an option to thank the bus driver in the game.
Developer BioWare is primarily known for its large story-driven role-playing games. In the shared-world shooter Anthem, not only the story matters for fans, but apparently also the gameplay. BioWare finds this “refreshing.”
Previously: Anthem is a balancing act between multiplayer and story. BioWare has emphasized this repeatedly in the past. The developer is responsible for well-known titles like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and Baldur’s Gate, whose main feature is the story and potential decisions that can be made.
In the lead-up to these titles, fans mainly focused their questions on plot and story details, while gameplay often took a backseat. This seems to be different with Anthem. And BioWare seems to appreciate that.
For a change, it’s about gameplay – BioWare likes that
At BioWare, it seems they are currently enjoying the fact that the questions about Anthem revolve not only around the potential story and characters.
According to Creative Director Jonathan Warner, other aspects are now more interesting and they are pleased to talk about them.
It’s very refreshing and invigorating. Normally, when we talk about Mass Effect or Dragon Age, people are absolutely focused on the plot, […] when people talk about Anthem, they talk about flying, fighting monsters, or the gear, the Javelins, and for us, it’s a great opportunity to put gameplay first.
What does this mean for the story? Telling stories and creating a believable world is still important for BioWare and will also play a role in Anthem.
There will still be strong characters, and everyone is the hero of their own story.
Anthem’s story is still a constant topic
Although BioWare clearly enjoys discussing other topics, the story is still frequently addressed.
In World of Warcraft obtaining gear has become easier. You now receive more loot in higher-level Mythic+ dungeons due to a change.
Undocumented change brings more loot: Blizzard has implemented an undocumented patch on the live servers that increases loot in Mythic+ dungeons. With this change, you will receive more loot upon completing dungeons of level +11 or higher.
How to get more loot from Mythic+
The chance keeps increasing: The hotfix introduced a new mechanic for loot in Mythic+ dungeons for BfA. The more challenging the dungeon you complete, the more loot you will receive:
Each level above +10 increases the chance for an additional piece of loot by 40%.
A dungeon of level +13 guarantees another piece of loot, while +15 even offers two additional pieces.
The extra loot stacks with bonus loot that you receive for completing the dungeon within the time.
If you complete a level 15 dungeon within the time, you can expect a total of five loot pieces (two for the dungeon, two from the new mechanic, and one for the time).
Keep in mind that the number reflects the possible loot for the group, not for each player. Therefore, the group receives a total of five pieces, not individually.
Get to higher keystones faster: According to wowhead, you currently have the possibility to receive a higher keystone than the one you got from your weekly chest. You just need to discard your current keystone before starting a dungeon.
If you complete a Mythic+ dungeon without a keystone in your possession, you will receive a new keystone in the loot chest. This keystone will be one level below the current dungeon or your weekly keystone, depending on which is higher.
Which dungeon you receive is random. However, this way you can easily obtain higher keystones for the entire group. This is especially useful for fixed Mythic+ groups.
It is unclear whether this change is intentional or not. In WoW: Legion, keystones could not be deleted. Therefore, it may be fixed when the next Mythic+ season starts.
The Worlds 2018 in League of Legends have now begun. The “Play-In” stage has already claimed its first victims. It affects 4 teams from what are considered exotic countries for LoL. They have “monster stats,” but stand little chance against the big names.
The interesting part about the WildCard Games: In the Worlds 2018, “Play-In” stages are occurring. Here, the third-placed teams from strong regions and the strongest from “weak” LoL regions can qualify for the main round.
The Exotics are all monsters – in terms of stats
The interesting thing here is that teams emerge that are hardly known because they play in exotic leagues.
Pro player Reapered from the US team “Cloud 9” said, “If you only look at their stats, they are all monsters. They have a 90% win rate in their region and strong KDA. When you look at the stats, they are much better than us.
Last year I was really scared, but it is doable and it is also fun.”
And indeed it was doable for Cloud 9.
This has already happened at the LoL Worlds 2018: The first 4 days of the LoL Worlds have now been played and 4 teams have already been eliminated. The dream of the LoL Worlds 2018 is over for these teams:
the Dire Wolves from Australia
Ascension Gaming from Thailand
KaBuM! eSports from Brazil
and Kaos Latin Games from Puerto Rico
A highlight from the preliminary round: The triple kill by G2 eSports.

Fan favorites missing from the Worlds 2018 in League of Legends: These 4 exotics at least had the chance to shine in the Worlds. Many other big teams are missing completely:
What happens next? In the “Play-In Knockout” stage, 8 teams will now compete against each other who have survived the first selection process.
The 8 teams will face off in knockout matches to select the 4 teams that will make it to the main round.
Here, especially the “third-placed” teams from the major regions are favored:
Cloud 9 from the USA went through the preliminary round with 4:0 – they will play against “Gambit eSports” from Russia

The name of the playable character in an MMO is a serious matter for many players. There are as many different names as there are grains of sand on the beach. We want to know how you approach naming your characters.
Do you stick to one name? There are countless different ways to choose a name. Some people prefer to always use the same name because it helps them build a certain identity and achieve recognition.
Lore names? Others prefer to take a name that fits the world of the respective MMO they are in, to enhance their role-playing experience. Some MMORPGs also provide their players with examples of names typical for certain races, so players can stay close to the lore.
Randomly generated: Nowadays, there are also options to have a name generated automatically. In the game or on special pages, names are randomly scrambled from a database of many fantasy names.
Puns and other jokes: Fun names are also very popular among gamers. In Final Fantasy XIV I’ve seen examples like “KimJong Heals” or a Dragoon named “Critney Spears”. Such names have a charm that sticks with fellow players.
This is what Irie says: I am rather conservative when it comes to naming. Whether the name fits the race I chose to play is relatively unimportant to me. It just has to please me, not be too long, and roll off the tongue easily.
Normally, I always have a small list of first and last names that have stuck with me throughout my PnP and MMORPG careers. I then combine them in various ways. Admittedly, some of them are shamelessly taken from Witcher and Shadowrun.
But now it’s your turn: What do you pay attention to when choosing your character’s name? Should it be lore-friendly or sound funny? Or are you one of the countless Narutos and Sephiroths that can be found in every MMORPG? Let us know!

Legends of Aria seems to be what fans of the MMORPG classic Ultima Online have been hoping for according to the Alpha and Closed Beta. And the Early Access launch is coming soon.
A massive sandbox where everyone can be what they want. Controlled PvP with open zones and protected areas and the ability to create your own worlds with your own rules – will Legends of Aria be a dream for UO fans?
A classic sandbox MMO
What is Legends of Aria? The MMORPG evolved from the sandbox online game Shards Online, but has changed significantly over the years.
You are exploring the vast fantasy world of Celador.
Here you determine which role you want to take based on skills. You can be a warrior, a mage, or just a craftsman. Those who wish can run a tavern or manage a business.
Exploring the world plays a major role. You can freely explore the open areas and find treasures or fight monsters.
Group play is essential. In a party or even a guild, you progress much better.
PvP is important but mostly takes place in specific areas. In other areas, you are protected.
You can even manage entire towns.
Legends of Aria is developed by veterans who previously worked on Ultima Online. Accordingly, the MMORPG also conveys the atmosphere of the classic.
When does the online game start? The developers have now announced that the Early Access phase starts on December 4th via Steam. Through the official website, it is possible to purchase founder packages, which give you a head start, for example.
Mods and a Future for Ultima Online
What makes Legends of Aria special? There are several standout features.
Players can purchase the ability to create their own worlds if they wish. They design these according to personal preferences and set their own rules. One world might be geared towards PvE while another is focused on PvP. Other players can then visit these worlds.
Players can manage their own servers where they set their own rules.
Legends of Aria can be completely “modded” and is marketed as a “moddable MMORPG.” Players can create their own MMORPGs if they choose.
With Celador, the game also has an official world that is planned to be continuously expanded.
Why are Ultima Online fans so excited about the MMO? Legends of Aria contains many gameplay elements that defined Ultima Online.
A massive sandbox world
Open PvP
A skill-based character system
Group play
Many freedoms regarding your own possibilities in the game
In addition, the option to create your own worlds with your own rules gives the UO community the opportunity to create a kind of Ultima Online 2. And that is currently planned as well. Under the name “Legends of Ultima,” the fantasy world Britannia is being recreated as closely to the original as possible. The developers then aim to launch a new Ultima Online on their own server.
Just over a month has passed since the Destiny 2 expansion Forsaken was released and the curse in the Dreaming City has begun anew. Unlike the usual Weekly Reset, the city’s cycle is explained through the story.
The three-week cycle of the Dreaming City has been reset this week. The city now looks as it did before the first victory against the final boss of the raid “Last Wish”. Unlike the Weekly Reset, however, the repetition of tasks in the Dreaming City is incorporated into the Forsaken story.
Reset has strange effects
What is going on with the Dreaming City? The Dreaming City of the Awoken is in a three-week cycle. Each week, the city’s corruption by the Taken increases, only to recede again and start anew.
What effects does the reset have? The city now looks as it did at the beginning – before the curse was pronounced. A beautiful fantasy world, where the Taken only appear sporadically.
The greatest effect of the reset, however, is on the NPCs: Petra Venj is back on the beach, but remembers that we fought the Taken and the city now looks like it did three weeks ago.
Characters in missions comment that they knew exactly what would happen. However, they couldn’t act differently than they did three weeks ago.
Reset as part of the story
How cleverly is the cycle explained? Bungie has incorporated the reset into the main story this time. If you are not done with Forsaken yet or do not want to learn about the endgame, you should not read any further!
The story of the Dreaming City is closely intertwined with the lore. In short, here’s what happened:
Riven was kept by Mara Sov as a “pet” in the Dreaming City. Before the Guardians could defeat Oryx in the Destiny 1 expansion The Taken King, he sneaked into the city of the Awoken and corrupted Riven.
After Oryx’s death, his sister Savathûn took control of Riven. In exchange for her freedom – death by the Guardians – Riven fulfilled one last wish and cursed the Dreaming City.
What’s the deal with the curse and the cycle? Savathûn, like all members of the Hive, follows the religious principle of Sword Logic. The Sword Logic adheres to the law of the strongest, but for the Hive, it’s an extreme: The Hive eliminate those who cannot defend themselves and feed on their subordinates.
Savathûn, the Deceiver, is now using the curse of the city to strengthen herself: In the three weeks, her Taken either take over the Dreaming City, leading to death and destruction, or the Guardians fight the Taken, also leading to death and destruction. No matter what we do, Savathûn will always grow stronger.
By the way, the three-week cycle was conceived by Savathûn’s daughter Dûl Incaru together with the Vex Axis Mind Quria. Quria was manifested by the Vex to study Oryx but was corrupted by the King of the Taken.
Players assume that Dûl Incaru must be defeated to break the curse and free the Dreaming City.
What do you think of the story? Do you like that the reset of the city was incorporated into the background story?
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, the long-awaited and teased outfit “Dark Bomber” has finally appeared. The “Dark Bomber” is the “Evil Version” of the cheerful Bright Bomber and, contrary to all assumptions, a real bargain.
Who or what is a “Dark Bomber”? Behind this strange name lies not a new stealth bomber from the Air Force, but rather the “evil version” of the outfit “Bright Bomber” (Brite Bomber).
And what is the “Bright Bomber”? The Bright Bomber is one of the iconic skins from Fortnite and features a cheerful young woman with colorful hair and a rainbow-colored outfit. She wields a fun llama head as a pickaxe and is always in a good mood, even when she is blasting you away.
The evil clone of the good Bomber: The Dark Bomber, however, is the evil twin sister of the Bright Bomber. The Dark Bomber first appeared in the final image of Season 5, where the Bright Bomber touched the purple cube. Instead of her reflection, viewers saw the sinisterly grinning Dark Bomber as a sort of evil clone in the cube.
Theories about the Dark Bomber: Fans speculated back then that the “Evil Bright Bomber” would become a new skin. They considered various options, including a variant of the good Bomber that could be unlocked in special challenges. Perhaps even for Halloween and then for several well-known skins.
In the end, nothing came of it; the “Dark Bomber” is simply another skin from the shop.
Dark Bomber in the Shop – Cheaper than Expected
Rare instead of Legendary: The disappointment that the Dark Bomber is not tied to a cool event may be somewhat mitigated when considering her price.
Because just like her good twin sister, the Dark Bomber is merely a skin of the “Rare” quality level. Therefore, it costs “only” 1,200 V-Bucks, which is about 12 Euros.
Epic mostly sells new skins, especially elaborate ones like the Dark Bomber, for at least 15, if not 20 Euros!
Is there more? Indeed, because Epic has granted the Dark Bomber a whole set of items:
Whoever buys the skin gets a matching backpack. It looks like an evil version of the backpack of the Bright Bomber.
The Dark Bomber can get a matching pickaxe called “Thunderhoof” for another 1,200 V-Bucks. It is an evil version of the llama head that the Bright Bomber swings.
If they still want, they can get the relatively boring glider “Glyph of Darkness” to complete the set. The glider is just a generic glider with dark glyphs on it. It costs 500 V-Bucks (5 Euros).
Will there be more “Evil Skins”? Officially, we don’t know anything, but one can assume that at least the “Color Gunner”, the male version of the Bright Bomber, will get an evil twin. He will likely be called “Dark Gunner” in keeping with tradition.
Will the Color Gunner also be evil?
What do you think of the Dark Bomber? Will you buy her?
