Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, iOS, Android, Switch & Xbox One) has been boring for days. At least that’s what our author Jürgen thinks. Why he is so grumpy is explained here.
Since I accidentally took over the topic of Fortnite: Battle Royale here at Mein-MMO I have been excited about the game. The reason: Epic constantly brought something new. There were regularly new modes, new changes in the game, and quirky events at the end of a season.
The end of the season has always been awesome: Especially the final phase, when the current season ends, has always been something very special. That’s why I was really looking forward to last weekend, hoping that Epic would finally reveal something crazy and bring a lot of wild stuff for the finale of Season 5.

That was already exciting, and I expected a continuation of this quirky story 24 hours after Kevin’s end.
But nothing happened. For days, the lake is now a trampoline, but otherwise, nothing has happened:
No teasers
No further in-game events
No real-life PR stunts
In my opinion, Epic should have continued the brilliant augmented reality game from the last season. Unfortunately, it seems that this time is not the case.
I have nothing to do here!
Even as a casual noob I have been done for days: Another problem I currently have with Fortnite is that I simply have nothing to do. I play the game extremely casually, and even I have completed all the challenges of Season 5 for days. There is simply nothing left for me to do.
No fun without achievements: Sure, I can have fun without tasks, but the game doesn’t really captivate me if I don’t get anything special for my efforts anymore.
Especially if I were to pull off some great stunt with X-kills now and then a challenge came later that would have asked exactly that of me. I would be really annoyed.
An event would be great right now: Especially the dry phase at the end of the season could previously be well bridged by Epic with events for the finale. But this time there is simply nothing in the game that excites me to play Fortnite right now and not something else.
Epic needs to come up with something
After all, Season 6 is particularly important for Fortnite. Some players found Season 5 not particularly exciting.
Season 5 was not particularly exciting: There was simply nothing really groundbreaking new, the map was still the old one despite some changes, and the new meta with less building and more spray was not optimal for every player.
The competition is not sleeping: Meanwhile, new games in the Battle Royale genre are about to rise, with Black Ops 4 leading the way. So Epic has to assert itself with fresh new ideas and should not let Season 6 drift like this.
Is there anything else to come? So far I have always thought “Yes, Epic will surely start soon, it’s just a matter of time!”. After saying this for days without anything happening so far, I am getting worried.
The hope dies last
But perhaps I’m complaining here completely unjustified. Because tonight, Epic allegedly wants to bring the first teasers for Season 6.
And I haven’t given up hope yet that Season 6 will be something truly gigantic. So it remains exciting.
Update: Meanwhile, the first teaser for Season 6 is here and it has confused me more than it has excited me. It hasn’t dispelled my worries…
What do you think? Are you also disappointed with Fortnite right now or is everything okay?
A curious bug from the Overwatch PTR has been discussed on Reddit. It turns out: It has existed for a while, and it also exists on the live servers.
Dead at the base: A Reddit user posted a short clip showing a player as Widowmaker standing directly in front of their opponents’ base. An enemy is currently changing characters and gets killed at that very moment – even though they are in spawn.
Why is this curious? Anyone in their own respawn point cannot actually be killed. As long as you are within the walls of the room, you are invulnerable and quickly regenerate health points.
Enemies cannot enter the point but can shoot into and see into it if the position allows. Shots that go into the spawn should not be able to deal damage to players.
However, due to a bug found on the PTR, players can be killed for almost half a second when they change heroes.
The bug is old – and live: In the following discussion under the original Reddit post, many other users have chimed in. Most of them report that the bug has supposedly existed for a long time.
According to users, the problem is even reproducible on the live servers and is not a bug of the new PTR patch, in which Pharah is also being revamped. Users see various reasons for the bug’s recent appearance:
The bug was fixed on the live server and is now for some reason back on the PTR.
It has been forgotten or occurs too rarely to be mentioned.
People still remembered it and rediscovered it on the PTR.
Whether and when the bug will eventually be fixed is still open. There are also bigger issues, like Reinhardt, that need to be worked on and which are currently unplayable on the PTR.
Reddit immediately noticed this: The PTR bug was already pointed out half an hour after the release of the new PTR patch. The mass of players instantly found the error, despite the small time window.
Finding such an error in such a short time is unlikely, as it has to be specifically induced. The sheer number of players makes this possible. A Reddit user sees this as both an advantage and a disadvantage for developers:
Seriously, the community can be the best and the worst quality assurance at the same time. The best because such a large number of testers in-house is impossible to achieve. The worst because thousands of people see immediately that you messed up before you can even notice it yourself.
In this case, however, it is quite possible that players found the bug so early because it has simply existed for a while.
Why Sylvanas Windrunner is the leader of the Horde in WoW: Battle for Azeroth is still not entirely clear. Patch 8.1 at least provides initial answers and new riddles.
When Vol’jin died at the start of World of Warcraft: Legion, he appointed the Banshee Queen Sylvanas Windrunner as his successor. The reason for this was that the “spirits had granted him clarity”.
However, with Sylvanas’ warlike nature, doubts about this statement are increasing. Which spirits have granted Vol’jin “clarity”? This is exactly the subject of a questline in Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance.
Spoiler alert:If you do not want to learn about the further course of the story surrounding Vol’jin’s spirit, you should not continue. You have been warned.
The story of Vol’jin continues: With Patch 8.1 Tides of Vengeance, the story of Vol’jin’s spirit is continued. Horde players already had the opportunity to acquire his urn and collect his spirit. However, this questline ended abruptly.
With the next patch, it will continue and address some important questions.
The biggest question is why Vol’jin chose Sylvanas as the new Warchief. Vol’jin himself has no memory of who granted him this vision. It has long been speculated that his vision of clarity could have come from Bwonsamdi, the Loa of Death. After all, Sylvanas brings many dead with her war, which should please the Loa of Death.
In a conversation with Vol’jin’s spirit, players learn that Vol’jin has long been calling on the Loa and receiving no answer. His connection to the Loa has been severed and since he became a spirit, none of the Loa have answered him.
However, it was not Bwonsamdi. In a conversation between Talanji and Bwonsamdi, the Loa of Death reveals:
“What? No no no, you are mistaken, Talanji.”
Moreover, we learn that Bwonsamdi certainly did not want Sylvanas to become the Warchief of the Horde. After all, he wants the souls of the dead for himself. However, Sylvanas often resurrects the dead.
“Why would I want the Banshee Queen to lead? No no no. Sure, I like war and death, but this Sylvanas… she disrupts the balance too much. The balance is important! Besides, she has the nasty trait of keeping what she kills. No, your Warchief is no friend of the old Bwonsamdi.”
Journey to the Lich King
Subsequently, players try to find out whether it was the Lich King who advised Vol’jin to choose Sylvanas. They travel to Icecrown and seek out Bolvar Fordragon. But he too has only negative and dismissive words for them:
“The plans of the Banshee Queen threaten the balance. I have nothing to do with this.”
Vol’jin then asks the Lich King whether it is his work that Vol’jin’s spirit is now trapped in the spirit world. Again, the Lich King responds:
“Vol’jin… your soul wandered on the other side and has returned. You have been changed… stronger than you think. You are neither undead nor damned. You do not belong here. Leave this place at once.”
Visit to the Val’kyr
After the visit to the Lich King bore no success, they go to Eyir. Eyir is the leader of the Val’kyr, who bring worthy champions to Odyn in the Halls of Valor.
Eyir is quite upset that a priestess of Bwonsamdi is brought along (presumably Talanji, who is bound to Bwonsamdi through her father’s pact). Nevertheless, she speaks to Vol’jin and the “Champion” – meaning the player.
Eyir: “Shadowhunter, you are no longer an ordinary spirit. You have become something that is beyond my power to create.”
Vol’jin: “Who has such power? Could it be the same one who led me to make Sylvanas the Warchief?”
Eyir: “You have been touched by the Hand of Valor. Such noble power has no interest in the thrones of mortals.”
Vol’jin: “So whoever whispered to me is not the same one who sent me back?”
However, Vol’jin does not receive an answer to this. Further information remains denied to him and the players.
Are there two puppeteers guiding Vol’jin?
Overall, the questline seems to provide no answer as to who brought Vol’jin back from the spirit world and whispered to him that Sylvanas must be the Warchief. However, the clues suggest that they may be two different beings.
Players speculate that the Old Gods are involved, presumably N’Zoth. After all, he would surely love for the two factions to clash at sea – right above his seat of power.
Who exactly brought Vol’jin’s spirit back from the realm of the dead remains unanswered. So it remains exciting.
There will be several ways to play the shooter Anthem even before its release. Bioware detailed the requirements now. Our author Tarek thinks: These requirements are quite bold.
Anthem is one of the most anticipated online games for 2019. The release is set for February 22, which is not too far away. There will be several ways for fans to play Anthem even earlier. Planned are a VIP demo, a 10-hour trial, and early access that lets you play a week earlier.
However, the requirements to play Anthem earlier are questionable in my opinion: Because for full early access to Anthem, you must subscribe and be on PC.
Through Twitter, Bioware revealed how it will work:
This is how you play Anthem before release
To try Anthem earlier, there are three options, these are the requirements:
The VIP demo: Pre-order Anthem for any platform, or be an active member of EA Access and Origin Access Basic by February 1, 2019
Play First Trial: Members of EA Access (for Xbox One) and Origin Access Basic (for PC) can play for up to 10 hours starting February 15
Early Access: You can play Anthem for a full week, starting on February 15, before release, if you subscribe to the Origin Access Premier on PC. This subscription includes the full version.
PS4 players are left out, aside from the VIP demo. But that’s not the only thing that raises eyebrows.
Play earlier? Only with a paid subscription
The new approach of publishers with betas, demos, and early access seems to have reached a new low with Anthem. Previously there were discussions because many set a pre-order as a prerequisite for access to a demo or beta, now subscription models are in play.
To fully dive into Anthem a week early, you need to be a PC player and subscribe to the expensive Premier plan. Here’s an overview of the subscription models:
What is EA Access? This subscription offers Xbox One owners a selection of game titles for around 25 euros per year or 4 euros per month.
What is Origin Access Basic? This subscription is essentially the PC equivalent of EA Access. It also costs 25 euros per year and 4 euros per month and allows players access to over 120 titles from the Origin database.
What is Origin Access Premier? This subscription costs 100 euros per year or 15 euros per month. In addition to the games that can already be played through the Basic version of Origin Access, more recent titles like Battlefield or Anthem are added.
Now EA has decided to make these subscriptions tickets for demos and early access.
Play First Trial – Transferring progress costs
As if that wasn’t enough, as a player of the “Play First” trial, I would essentially also have to pay to transfer this 10 hours of progress into the main game.
This is how you transfer your progress from the Play First Trial: You can only transfer progress from this time into the full version if you buy it with the member discount in the Origin store or subscribe to a Premier subscription.
Thus, EA essentially asks you for another payment besides the subscription.
Nonetheless, the community is looking forward to Anthem
This is how the community reacts:
The feedback is mixed. Many feel that demos and betas are now being misused. Instead of giving potential buyers an impression of the game to orient themselves, they seem to want to push pre-orders and subscriptions, making players buy a pig in a poke.
One user highlights the downside of the subscription: If it runs out, you lose access to all included games.
Most see no reason to subscribe for just one week of early access, especially since the first week in online games is usually one with the most bugs.
Overall, the mood towards Anthem is still positive, many simply don’t care. They can ignore the subscription model; ultimately, seven days don’t matter that much.
Destiny 2 has introduced a lot of new lore with Forsaken. One of the small stories found on the Titan class item from the raid revolves around Mara Sov, a wish, and a rather perplexed Lord Shaxx.
To the delight of the Guardians, the first Destiny 2 expansion Forsaken brought a wealth of new lore into the game, which can be collected on items and in triumphs. One of the small stories located on the Titan class item from the raid “Last Wish” is currently fueling the imagination of players.
Spoiler warning:If you prefer to discover the lore for yourself, do not read on.
Mara Sov, a wish, and a reciting Shaxx
What does the lore tell? The story revolves around Mara Sov, Queen of the Awoken, getting bored and expressing a wish for her amusement. This includes the appearance of Lord Shaxx, who normally oversees the Crucible, and a piece of Shakespeare.
Mara stared at the Wall of Wishes. She had no more business to conduct. Her plans were set in motion.
There was nothing left to do but wait.
She drew a pistol from a hidden holster and fired a dozen shots into the wall.
The cosmic balance shifted. Somewhere in the Dreaming City, Riven heard the Queen’s wish, and a thousand screeching rifts in reality sliced through the space in front of her.
Lord Shaxx suddenly blocked Mara’s view of the wall.
“—YES, AND WE WOULD ALL BE DEAD!” He shouted at no one in particular, a cup of coffee in his fist.
He startled and nearly spilled his coffee. “Where are we?”
Mara knocked the cup from his hand. It shattered on the floor. She held a tattered book in front of him. “I told you there would come a time when I would collect your debts from the Reef War. Read this aloud.”
“No one gives me orders,” he said, grabbing the book and setting it ablaze with a Titan’s strike. “I can recite ‘The Tempest’ from memory.” And he did. Mara sat down and listened. They stayed that way for a long time.
The helm was not removed.
Why does the lore entry make players laugh? At first glance, the lore entry appears to be a strange yet completely normal story. However, some players interpret other meanings into it.
While lore enthusiasts debate what William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” could have to do with the story of Destiny, other players believe that more was going on between Mara and Shaxx that night than just reciting old classics.
Especially the last line “The helm was not removed” is seen as a reference to the song “You Can Leave Your Hat On.” Not least due to the film “9 ½ Weeks,” the song became an epitome of striptease.
The battle royale shooter Fortnite has a lot of emotes that you can use to celebrate your victory and taunt your opponents. Dances are particularly popular among fans. What dances are available, how to buy, gift, and return them, you will find out here.
Dances are an integral part of Fortnite: Fortnite has a long tradition of snatching various dances from real life and making them even more popular in the game. Therefore, there are famous emotes like the “Floss” dance from a Katy Perry video (The Floss) as well as various moves from well-known artists.

Fortnite dances are part of pop culture: The dances from Fortnite are now so popular that they are used by football players on the fields to celebrate goals. However, some artists complain that Epic appropriates their moves without permission. Many players believe that the dances originate from the game instead of from the works of the actual artists.
What dances and emotes are available in Fortnite?
In the following galleries, we will list the dances from Fortnite that we have found in the game so far. If new dances and emotes come out, we will update the galleries. We will divide the dances by rarity into three galleries. A compilation of the dances is available in this video:
https://youtu.be/G7Dquz0tW0M
The unusual dances
These moves are available for 200 V-Bucks each. That’s about 2 euros per dance.
The rare dances
These dances go for 500 V-Bucks each. That would be about 5 euros in real money.
The epic dances
Those who want these epic emotes have to fork out 800 V-Bucks. That’s around 8 euros.
The dances from the Battle Pass and Promotions
These dances were previously only available through the Battle Pass seasons or promotional events. Whether and when they will be available again is unknown.
By the way, there’s a Top Ten of the rarest dances here:

Buying dances is easy: If you want to buy a dance in Fortnite, you just need to check the shop in the game. There are always a few dances available.
When do new dances come to the shop? New offers are loaded into the shop every night. New emotes are also among them. But when and if a particular dance will be in the shop again is known only to Epic. So if you really want a certain move, you should keep an eye on the shop and act quickly.
What do dances cost? Dances are available – unlike skins – in only three rarity levels. Legendary emotes have not been spotted yet. The different tiers cost different amounts of V-Bucks:
Uncommon: 200 (approx. 2 euros)
Rare: 500 (approx. 5 euros)
Epic: 800 (approx. 8 euros)
All info on returning, selling, and gifting emotes
How can you return dances? If you want to return an emote (or any other shop item apart from Battle Pass levels and the pass itself), you must proceed as described in this article on returning skins. However, keep in mind that you can only do this a total of three times and only for purchases within 30 days.
How can you sell dances? Not at all, there’s no legal way to transfer a dance or any shop item in the game for money to other players.
Can you gift dances? A feature for gifting skins, dances, and other shop items is planned, but is not currently in the game. If anything changes there, we will explain it here.
Would you rather have outfits and skins instead of emotes? You can find them here:
Trading is now a science in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team. You can quickly generate many coins with it. Therefore, we present several trading tips so that you have an overview of the transfer market and earn coins.
In FUT 19, there are many methods to earn coins by trading player cards on the transfer market. Trading is important not only for the optimal start in Ultimate Team, but throughout the entire FIFA season.
In this trading guide, we present various tips and variants so that you can soon upgrade from your starter teams to your dream squad.

Trading Guide: What You Need to Consider When Trading in Ultimate Team
You always have a risk: Even though some trading methods carry less risk than others, there is no guarantee of profits. Be aware of this and never invest all your capital! Also, methods that worked one day can become useless the next day – for example, due to an event or an SBC.
The EA Fee: There is a 5% tax on every card you sell on the FUT transfer market. This means, if you sell a card for 1000 coins, you will only receive 950 coins. You should always keep this in mind when trading.
The market differs across platforms: Due to the varying number of players, the transfer market on PS4 or Xbox One is not the same as on PC or Switch. Some tips may only work on certain consoles. Therefore, it is important not to blindly follow trading guides, but to think for a moment and observe the market.
Transfer and Watchlist Expansion: In the “EA FC” catalog, you will find many redeemable bonuses for Ultimate Team. For trading, especially an expansion of the transfer and watchlist is recommended.
Web and Companion App: You can use most trading tips both in the game and in the Companion and web app. The only exception is sniping, as you would be too slow for that.
“Buy low – Sell high” – The Low-Risk Method
Our first trading tip may sound silly because it seems obvious that you buy cheap to sell high. This method, also known as “selling overpriced,” is quite reliable, carries little risk, and requires hardly any research or expert knowledge.
Select players to trade: You choose one or more player cards that you want to trade. For beginners, inexpensive cards under 1000 coins are suitable; advanced players can also take expensive cards. Ideally, you now observe the price development of the cards over a day.
Apply the right filters: Once you know when your cards are cheapest, it’s time to go: You choose the cheapest time and set a maximum price in the search criteria where you only see the cheapest cards of that player. Ideally, it should be less than one page, as too many cards indicate oversupply. You should then look for other players.
Buying and Selling: Now you buy all cards of this player at this low price and immediately list them back on the transfer market – of course, at a higher price. How much higher depends on two factors:
How quickly you need the coins: If you want to get rid of your cards as soon as possible, add 5% fee and about 10-15% for your profit to your purchase price. If you pay 1000 coins for a card, that would be 1200 coins. If you have more time, you can adjust the prices accordingly.
How in demand the player is: Selling popular cards is significantly easier, and you can set the prices higher. Of course, it is also more difficult to acquire these cards cheaply.
What you should keep in mind: It’s best to list your cards for one hour and update them, for example, using the web app every hour. Don’t despair if no or only a few cards are sold; trading requires patience.
Why does this method work? People are lazy. And so there are many FUT players who don’t care about a few hundred coins and take the first one they see, even if it is not the cheapest card of that player. That’s exactly the first card you want to offer, which is why you should focus on a few players so that you have as many of that player’s cards on the first market page as possible.
Variant 1 – Sniping
A variation of the method described above is sniping. Here, you try to buy cards significantly below market value to resell them at market value.
How it works: You set a buy it now and bid price significantly below market value for your desired player in the search filters. There is no guideline, but the lower you go, the less likely you are to find one. Now comes the tiring part:
You refresh the market until you find a card. You must quickly snap it up and buy it immediately. Some practice is required. Here’s a quick guide:
Possible sniping search filters for Süle
Set filters and press search.
Click away the notification that appears.
Important! Increase the maximum (bid) price with the shoulder buttons. This serves to refresh the market offer; if you skip this step, sniping won’t work. Keep the buy it now price the same.
Search again.
Repeat steps 2-4 until a card appears. If nothing comes up on the market, you should try again at another time of day (more cards are placed on the market in the afternoon/evening) or raise the buy it now price a little.
You will often see this message when sniping
Practice makes perfect: At first, you will probably be too slow and the cards will get snapped up. Over time, however, you will get the rhythm down so well that you won’t even think about it anymore; you’ll refresh the market offer in seconds.
Market Ban Risk: Some players report temporary market bans from EA while sniping. This is because the game thinks you are a bot. Sniping is always at your own risk. However, I have never been banned; if you follow the steps above, nothing should go wrong.
Variant 2 – The 59-Minute Method
This variant does not focus on observing one player, but requires a bit more knowledge about card prices.
How it works: You set a specific player group in the search filters that is not too large. For example, “special cards from the Bundesliga” or “gold cards from the Premier League between 10,000 and 15,000 coins.” There is no one correct filter; experimenting and testing is the key.
Then you go to the page where the players have just 59 minutes left on the transfer market and refresh it now and then. If a bargain comes up, you can strike immediately. The challenge with this method is knowing when a card is truly a bargain.
Why does this method work? The majority of players list their cards for one hour. With this method, you have an overview of several cards in the same price segment, and you see bargains first as soon as they are placed on the transfer market.
59-Minute Method with Bundesliga Special Cards
Variant 3 – Mass Bidding
This variant is again associated with very little risk but may require a lot of patience. The process is similar to what was explained at the top, but you use the bidding instead of the buy now function.
How it works: You similarly select a player and observe his price. Once you know at what price the player is relatively likely to sell, you can start investing. So, you only search for your selected card and bid on every one that is possible.
How much should I bid? How much you bid again depends on how much the player costs: the 5% EA tax should definitely be deducted from the market value, plus at least 100 coins profit for you – for more expensive cards, even more would be good. If you want to bid on a player who goes for 2000 coins, always bid 1700-1800.
Making a profit: Of course, you won’t win most of your bids since many others will also be bidding. However, due to the sheer volume of your bids, a few bargains will slip through now and then, which you can then sell at market value and thus make your profits.
Combination of methods is possible: You can now also combine mass bidding with “selling overpriced” and list your cards for a bit more than market value on the transfer market. However, it may take longer to sell your players.
Taking Advantage of Maintenance Work
Maintenance work is always annoying, but it is necessary for EA to take the servers offline for a few hours from time to time. However, when announced by EA, it is a good method to make bargains.
Exploiting other people’s ignorance: If you are informed and know about a maintenance, you are probably not the only one. However, there are many players who do not know this and continue to list their players normally on the transfer market.
The market does not close: However, while FUT is offline, the transfer market continues. So bid shortly before maintenance on low bid prices of as many cards as possible. Once the maintenance begins, you won’t be outbid anymore. The players should – provided the downtime lasts long enough – then belong to you.
Risky but Profitable – Speculating
Now we come to another broad area of trading, speculation. With this trading method, you need significantly more knowledge about cards, football, and the market than with the previous variants. However, it is also one of the more profitable.
What exactly do you do when speculating? You buy player cards at a certain time because you hope that due to an event, an SBC, or potential special cards, these cards will gain value in the near future.
Variant 1 – Good Performances in Real Life
FIFA players are predominantly big football fans and follow many real-life games or at least keep track of them in live updates. You can also make coins in Ultimate Team this way.
If a player performs well, his card becomes more expensive: If a forward scores his second goal or a goalkeeper makes one save after another, it is worth buying the corresponding card on the FUT market. However, you need to be quick, as the cheap cards will sell out rapidly and prices will rise.
Players hope for “Team of the Week” nominations: When a player receives a TOTW card, his normal gold card rises in price since it can no longer be pulled from packs. If you bought it at a low price beforehand, you can expect a high profit. There are two points in time when selling can bring you many coins.
Sell in the hype: From the moment a player is eligible for a TOTW nomination, his price increases. Just before the announcement of the TOTW, which can be found each Wednesday at 4 PM on MeinMMO, is a good time to sell the card. This way, you ensure a profit, even if the player does not make it into the “Team of the Week”.
Take a risk: If you are sure about the nomination, keep the card and sell it either shortly after 4 PM or during the following week when the card is not available in packs. Your risk here is that you miscalculate, the player does not receive an inform, and the price drops significantly right after 4 PM.
It is similar with other special cards. Of course, this variant works just as well for Champions League or Cup matches and the corresponding special cards like “Man of the Match” cards.
Variant 2 – Speculating on the Right SBCs
With Squad Building Challenges, you can not only make money by completing them. Trading also works quite well with them, but it carries a lot of risk. Again, selling in the hype – just before the SBC is released – brings secure profits without much risk!
Certain SBCs are coming: These include, for example, the “Player of the Month” SBCs, the top matches, or the league SBCs.
Here’s how to invest. Some SBCs come every week, others every month. Therefore, it’s good to have a rough overview of the different dates. Depending on the SBC, you can then invest differently:
In the POTM SBC that comes once a month, the community votes from a selection of players. There is often a clear favorite in advance.
Now you need a bit of luck. If the favorite is, for example, Sadio Mane from Liverpool, good investments would be:
One of his special cards
His gold card
High-rated players from Liverpool or the Premier League
Senegalese players with high ratings, ideally also from the Premier League
Then sell these cards as soon as the SBC goes live because demand will be enormous, driving prices up.
Top Matches
This SBC appears every Tuesday at 7 PM and consists of four matches, for which you need to exchange a team each time. There are often predictions on the internet beforehand that you can use as a guide when investing.
For the teams, you usually need players from the corresponding teams. For certain clubs, it’s worth buying many cards in advance as they will significantly increase in value.
Strong clubs with few cheap gold players: Teams like Juventus Turin in FIFA 18 have many gold players but few at the “discard price” of 400 for common and 700 coins for rare cards. Since only gold players are often allowed for top matches, these cheap gold players will increase significantly.
Weak clubs with no gold players: Because many reward packs consist only of gold players, there are far fewer silver or bronze cards on the market. Normally, this is not a problem, but if you need them for top matches, the supply runs out quickly. Therefore, an investment here also pays off.
Events
Special events are now an essential part of FUT; there is rarely a longer period without a promo or event phase. Often, SBCs also come during this time. Since better SBC rewards always require a minimum overall rating, this is another opportunity for investing.
Invest in 83+ players: During phases when no special SBC is available, you should invest your coins in cheap players rated 83 or 84. Last year, the cheapest examples were unplayable cards like Bas Dost, Pedro, or various goalkeepers.
Sell during special SBCs: Now if a Squad Building Challenge comes that requires a rating of 82 or higher with a somewhat appealing reward, your cards will gain value as they will be submitted by everyone, and the supply will decrease while demand increases.
Once the SBC has ended and prices drop, you can invest again, and the whole process starts over.
If you internalize and practice these tips, nothing should go wrong on your way to becoming a FIFA coin millionaire! However, always remember never to use all your money for trading, as trading always involves risk.
Don’t focus too much on trading. FIFA is still a game and not an economic simulation. What good are thousands of coins if you don’t have a team you enjoy playing with?
Moreover, these are by no means all methods to earn coins. There are many other trading variants, and you can also quickly earn coins through game modes like Division Rivals or FUT Champions.

The Patch 8.1 “Tides of Vengeance” is currently active on the World of Warcraft test realm. Data miners are already busy extracting game data and finding all sorts of new content. For players of Night Elves, there will now be a few new customization options.
What customizations are available? Night Elf players who complete the achievement “In Teldrassil’s Shadow” can choose a new skin tone as a color. The special thing about it is that the corresponding faces have black eyes. Normally, Night Elves have glaring silver or golden glowing eyes.
Where does the customization come from? Players receive the necessary achievement when they complete the new quest line surrounding Tyrande. It involves her ascent to a Night Warrior, which players can experience in a scenario. We have explained how this will take place in this article.
Please keep in mind that this information is still from the PTR. Until the release of Patch 8.1, it may change.
Cortyn thinks: I really like the new customization options and I hope Blizzard introduces a few more for the other races. Personally, I would have liked it if the “Night Warrior” customizations were only available for female characters, as they actually make up the priesthood of Elune. The men could have received something “druidic”. But hey! The main thing is more customizations, right?
What do you think of these new customization options for Night Elves? Is it a cool idea to slowly introduce new options that make sense from a story perspective?
The Exotic “One Thousand Voices” is overly strong in Destiny 2. Most Guardians, however, do not want a nerf.
Raid Exotic is completely OP: For about a week now, Destiny 2 has had a new OP weapon. It is the “One Thousand Voices”. This is an exotic fusion rifle that only drops with a low probability from the final boss in the raid “Last Wish”. Therefore, only a few Guardians currently possess this weapon.
What makes the weapon so strong? One Thousand Voices fires a “huge, continuous death beam.” This beam shoots as precisely as the Sleeper Simulant and deals enormous damage on direct hits.
However, the Exotic also has something of a rocket launcher. The beam adheres to surfaces and explodes with a slight delay. Thus, One Thousand Voices also deals area damage.
This is shown to you by Nexxoss Gaming in the video:

The damage that the weapon causes is enormous. In PvP, the beam can wipe out multiple Guardians at once, and in PvE, the Exotic melts down strong strike bosses in seconds.
One Thousand Voices is so powerful that immediate comparisons were made with the Gjallarhorn from year 1 of Destiny 1. We have already presented the Exotic in detail here – and you have been commenting about your opinions on it.
Should One Thousand Voices be nerfed or does Destiny 2 need this OP weapon?
Here’s what you think about One Thousand Voices
These MeinMMO readers celebrate One Thousand Voices:
According to Sven, One Thousand Voices is exactly what a raid needs. With the prospect of such a strong gun, “I would have also sent that silly robot clown on his golden throne to the afterlife more often.”
marty thinks the weapon is great. In his opinion, they should leave the weapon as it is, as it creates a good incentive to play the raid. That’s what a raid is about, and it also brings a feeling like in the Glass Chamber. The raid was also played countless times in Destiny 1 to get strong weapons like Thorn and others.
According to Willy Snipes, this is a worthy raid Exotic. “You don’t take down a (spoiler removed – “final boss” is meant) to shoot with a laser pointer.”
CandyAndyD86 writes: “This is what a raid exotic looks like, like that and not otherwise! Awesome weapon, want it!”
ItzOliiagrees: “Wow, that thing looks damn impressive! This is definitely a target worth grinding for a raid clear.”
Alitsch is happy that there is finally a weapon that is worth hunting.
blacki hopes that the weapon stays as it is. OP weapons should also exist.
These MeinMMO readers have doubts:
WuWuuHuu thinks this “super weapon” is pretty cool, “as long as I don’t lose every Gambit match because the opposing team has it.” The Guardian emphasizes that the ammunition supply is manageable and the hurdle to obtain the weapon is very high, which is why the weapon should not cause too much unrest.
K3Ks! thinks it’s unnecessary to be screaming for a nerf already. However, he is concerned that the weapon can quickly melt down even seasoned players in Gambit.
LIGHTNING is also happy that there is finally a highlight among the weapons (he doesn’t mind the Pikass), but he hopes that not every idiot will run around with it in Gambit.
DevilRon1989 writes: “Great weapon, but I find it a bit unfortunate that this has not been nerfed a bit for the Crucible. In something like Countdown, you can almost get the heavy ammo every round and you could really tear people apart with that.”
According to Manuel, Bungie is doing everything right with this, but 9 months too late. His clan remains mostly inactive; this Exotic won’t change that.
These MeinMMO readers demand / predict a nerf:
Ben D4ngercriticizes: “It’s a mystery to me how the developers, with all their experience, keep missing the target like this.”
ExcidiumX is sure that a nerf will come. The only question is when that moment will come – how long Bungie wants to “play on risk” and allow this power.
ne0r believes that the nerf must come quickly because the thing is just too strong in PvP. However, he hopes that Bungie doesn’t kill the weapon. “The weapon seems to be a lot of fun, and you need weapons worth grinding for, but the balance should be maintained a bit.”
Destiny Man sees a tactic from Bungie: “Now that almost no one has it, it is totally OP and everyone wants one. Due to its rarity, it’s still relatively unproblematic. But in a few months, when many have completed the raid or gotten the weapon, it will be nerfed so that not all boss mechanics can be bypassed by everyone’s fireteam taking out the boss in seconds with 2-3 of these things.”
The general mood can be summarized as follows: Most users do not want a nerf at the moment. Because for many, One Thousand Voices currently represents an unattainable goal that they want to gradually get closer to. The greed for power drives them and this motivation should not be curbed by a nerf.
However, many also fear that the weapon will become too dominant in the future when numerous Guardians possess it. Because then, in PvE and PvP, you will only see One Thousand Voices. Whether and how Bungie will respond to this remains to be seen in the future.
Thank you for the numerous comments. And don’t be upset if you’re not featured in this article. In the next article of this kind, you will surely be there if you continue to comment diligently.
In The Division the Global Event “Ambush” is now live. It is the last on the roadmap for Year 3. What modifiers, masks, and secret gear sets are available, we summarize here for you. How could it proceed?
After several weeks of quiet regarding The Division, there is now work to be done again, as the Global Event “Ambush” starts. It is officially the last on the roadmap for Year 3 of The Division. Currently, we do not know what will happen next.
Now, Massive is initially ringing in the Ambush via tweet:

The Modifiers for the Global Event – Just Don’t Move
What are modifiers? With the modifiers, The Division wants to bring variety to the different activities. While the first one is always active, the other two can be selected in addition. This also increases your rewards.
These modifiers are active during Ambush:
Ambush – always active: Players deal increased damage when they do not move.
Covert Ambush: The effect of “Ambush” + players take damage when the damage bonus runs out.
What does that mean? A white bar is displayed over the health points when in combat. If you move, this decreases; if you stand still, it refills. If the bar is empty, you take damage over time.
Strategic Ambush: The effect of “Covert Ambush” + damage bonus, and players take damage when they are too close to allies.
In which missions can you select them? You can select Covert and Strategic Ambush only in the missions:
As with every Global Event, there are also three masks during Ambush, which can only be unlocked through commendations during the event.
What do you have to do for the masks? You must fulfill certain commendations related to the modifiers of the respective Global Event. Open your dossier and look under commendations for Ambush. In the list, you will find the commendations you must complete for the mask:
Bug Mask: Motion blur – Kill enemies while moving, World Tier 5, at least on Hard
Cage Mask: Like a statue – Kill enemies stationary, World Tier 5, at least on Hard
Veil Mask: Privacy – Kill enemies near allies in Strategic Ambush, World Tier 5, at least on Hard
The Secret Sets of the Global Event
What sets will there be? The Global Event Ambush brings four Classified Sets that you can obtain during the period with increased chances. These are
How to get Classified Sets during the event: During Global Events, there are special containers. For each secret set, you can buy Classified containers at the event vendor for the special GE Credits you earn by completing PvP and PvE activities.
These containers are available: The Classified containers are more expensive at 3000 GE Credits, but you can choose which set you want a guaranteed secret item from.
Additionally, there is a container for 1500 GE Credits. This can contain parts of all four sets from the Global Event, and there is a chance for exotic gear. However, you might only receive normal gear parts, which is why this container is only worth it if you don’t want a specific set anymore.
What Happens Next?
According to the plans for September, the developer blog for The Division 2 is scheduled for the 27th. Whether this contains new information about the sequel is unknown. On this day, the next developer live stream, the State of the Game, will also take place.
What happens in The Division 1? What happens next in The Division is open. There may still be Global Events, as two are still missing. Blackout and Outbreak could be ideally used in the coming months.
In the FIFA 19 web app and companion app, you now receive daily gifts. When you will get the rewards and what prizes you will receive for daily logins is explained here.
Update 25.9.: EA Sports has reactivated the daily gifts today. From the 22nd to the 24th, they were disabled due to a problem. The event is now supposed to run longer than originally planned.
Logging in daily is worth it: If you log into the web app or companion app regularly, you will currently receive a gift every day. Although these gifts are usually of limited use, they are definitely worthwhile to start the new FUT season well and to accumulate initial capital.
When are the daily gifts available? The daily gifts run from September 19th (web app launch) until approximately October 10th – on this day, the early access phase of the web app and the companion app officially ends. Consequently, you can secure 22 daily gifts. Due to the problem, the event will be extended by a few days.
A new gift is available at this time: Every day at 2 AM you can collect a new gift in the web app or companion app.
These are the possible login rewards
You will receive all rewards only if you log into the app every day. If you miss logging in on a day, you will also miss the corresponding daily gift.
One of these gifts is possible per day:
Bronze gift set: A mix of 4 bronze items, at least one bronze player (no rare cards)
Silver gift set: A mix of 4 silver items, at least one silver player (no rare cards)
Gold gift set: A mix of 4 gold items, at least one gold player (no rare cards)
League premium gold set: A mix of 12 items, three players of a specific league (like Serie A) are guaranteed, at least 10 gold items, three rare items
Ultimate loan player set: A mix of four items with a loan player between 85 and 90 rating
Coin set: 2000 coins or less, which you can spend at your discretion
Premium coin set: At least 4000 coins, which you can spend at your discretion
You must log into the web app or companion app once daily to receive the daily gift. Accept the gift and open it in the shop under “My Packs”
You cannot accept the gifts in the game itself, in FUT 19. You must accept them in the app. The packs can then be opened on your console.
To receive the gifts before the official release date of FIFA 19 (September 28th or September 25th with early access or other access options), you need early access for the app. To do this, you must have created a FUT club in FIFA 18 prior to August 1st, which still exists and has a good reputation. You must not have been banned or otherwise negatively highlighted.
The early access access lasts until October 10th. By then, you must have purchased FIFA 19 and logged into FUT 19 on your platform to continue using the web app and the companion app in full. The daily gift event will then likely be over.
Without early access, you can only get the daily gifts once you log in to FUT 19 on your console or PC for the first time, create an account, and answer a security question.
In just a few days, the regional monsters from the new 7-KM eggs will disappear in Pokémon GO. Until then, you need to walk a lot of kilometers to complete your Kanto Pokédex.
Until September 30, you can open gifts that reward you with special 7-KM eggs. These may contain regional monsters. After the event ends, it will likely take a while before you have the opportunity to receive Pokémon from other countries again. We will show you the probability of obtaining Porenta, Tauros, and Kangama.
Exact end of the event: Officially, Niantic refers to it as “end of September”. The event could end on September 30 at 10:00 PM, or possibly on October 1 at 10:00 PM. To be safe, it’s best to plan for the end on September 30. If it does last until October 1, that would be a bonus for you.
Where are the 7-KM eggs? You can only get these from gifts from your friends. It should be noted that not every gift contains an egg. So make enough friendships to replenish your egg supply.
You can only obtain the special eggs from gifts from friends.
What are the chances of obtaining regional monsters from eggs?
In addition to the regional monsters, the Alola Pokémon are still included, so it is not entirely easy to obtain Tauros and Co. Reddit user cjmithli found the following results. He states that the chance of obtaining a regional monster from the 7-KM eggs is 12.5%.
Probabilities:
Alola – 75%
Mauzi, Digda, Sandan, Vulpix, Kleinstein, Sleima – each 12.5%
Regional – 12.5%
Tauros, Kangama, Porenta, Pantimos – each 3.125%
Other – 12.5%
Tangela, Porygon – each 6.25%
How to increase the chance of the regional ones?
You need to walk a lot: In the end, to really obtain each of the event Pokémon, there is only one solution: Hatch, hatch, hatch.
If you want, buy in the shop: The event boxes in the shop facilitate this. With super incubators, you no longer have to walk 7 kilometers, but only 4.7 kilometers.
Be careful when spinning stops: Once you have hatched one or more eggs, it is important to immediately open gifts and receive eggs from them, and not to spin PokéStops first. Otherwise, you might receive 2-KM, 5-KM, or 10-KM eggs from stops that do not contain regional Pokémon.
How long can I still hatch the Pokémon?
Until the end of the month, i.e., September 30, you still have the chance for the special eggs.
Regional can still hatch after the event: It is important that eggs that are still in your inventory after the event ends may still contain the regional Pokémon. So it may happen that you hatch a Kangama weeks after the event ends, as the egg landed in your inventory during the event period.
Do old gifts count then? The content of a 7-KM egg is determined at the moment you open the corresponding gift. So if you open an old gift from a friend after the event ends and receive a 7-KM egg, it can no longer contain regional monsters. The eggs must have landed in your inventory during the event for there to be a chance of regional monsters.
The MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online is currently facing a major problem and the fans do not notice it. A new MMO in the same universe is coming, and the players are isolating themselves. Our author Andreas Bertits has an opinion on this situation
What does an MMORPG need to be successful and stay on the market for a long time?
A small dedicated community that sticks slavishly to the book?
or openness to attract as many players as possible.
LotRO has a problem
What is the problem? As the recent hint at a new class for the MMORPG The Lord of the Rings Online has shown, even the fans are skeptical of this new feature.
It is now clear that The Lord of the Rings Online is not yet working on a new class, but is only discussing it. But even the hint has caused waves:
The new class must fit the lore of The Lord of the Rings – and this refers to the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien. The community accepts nothing that does not conform to this world.
And this includes, for example, an elf shaman, which would be cool but does not fit the story of The Lord of the Rings.
This shaman would be a kind of wizard, and they generally pose a problem.
That’s why there should be no wizards in The Lord of the Rings Online: The Istari are the only ones who can perform real magic in The Lord of the Rings, and even they do not run around throwing fireballs. Basically, there are only a few Istari in the fantasy world of Middle-earth at the time of the novels. Five are mentioned:
Gandalf, also known as Mithrandir
Saruman the White, leader of the order
Radagast the Brown, who is more interested in nature than in humans
Alatar and Pallando, who went east and never returned
The rune keepers in LotRO are already very close to the line.
However, if one restricts oneself so extremely in terms of gameplay, one moves in a narrow space for interesting innovations. Everything must strictly conform to the lore. Yet innovations are important to keep a game interesting and fresh.
The community could bring about the end of the MMO
A dedicated community: If you look around in the LotRO forum, you will notice that this is a community that is very tightly knit but also shows little openness to new ideas.
Newcomers suggesting new features are immediately confronted. They are told to first engage with the lore before making suggestions.
Such an approach naturally discourages newcomers, who may then quickly lose interest in playing and engaging with the community.
This is how the new MMORPG LotRO could become dangerous: Now that a new MMO in the universe of The Lord of the Rings has been announced by Athlon, this could pose a threat to LotRO. But not because The Lord of the Rings Online is bad, but because the community does not allow innovations that may contradict the lore.
It is understandable that there is this dedicated community that wants an MMORPG that sticks as closely as possible to the novels. However, this also means that they are moving within a niche.
Niche games have the problem of operating on the edge of becoming unprofitable. A niche game only needs a few players to drop out, and the whole product can have a problem. The question arises whether LotRO can afford this focus on a niche in the long term?
Especially, can it afford this when eventually the new MMORPG appears, which may show much more openness toward the lore and thus attract more players?
Lore or fun?
Why lore should not always be so important: Lore and background story are all well and good. But what should always be most important in a game is the fun factor. And if lore gets in the way of fun, then an online game has a major problem.
This applies to The Lord of the Rings Online as well, even if the core fans probably see it differently. An online game is only as strong as its community. The more players participate, the higher the chances that an MMO will survive for a long time. Because without players, online games make no sense.
The LotRO community needs to be more open: If The Lord of the Rings Online is to survive for a long time and compete against the upcoming MMO, it would be wise for the community to show more openness to ideas that might bend the lore a bit. Because eventually, the handful of stubborn core fans who want to stick slavishly to the novels may no longer support the online game. And the end of LotRO would be very unfortunate.
The German YouTuber ApoRed does not receive preferential treatment from Fortnite developer Epic. With an attack on the German community manager, he wants to achieve that.
This is ApoRed: Ahman Nadim Ahadi is one of the largest German-speaking YouTubers. His channel has over 2.4 million subscribers. Recently, it mainly revolves around himself, his sneakers, how expensive an outfit is, and his move.
He became known and notorious with “prank videos.” He threw a bag at passersby and implied that there was a bomb inside. This led to problems with the law (via welt.de).
As a gaming YouTuber “RedSama,” he mainly focuses on Fortnite. His style is similar to that of English-speaking YouTuber Ali-A. He has also faced accusations of clickbait: there are thumbnails where RedSama looks quite shocked at things and a lot of gameplay with commentary.
“He hates me to death”
This is ApoRed’s problem with Epic: In a 25-minute video, ApoRed sharply criticizes a senior employee of Epic Games, Daniel Seehuber.
Seehuber is likely the contact person for German-speaking influencers. He is Community Lead at Epic Games.
ApoRed presents his own perspective in the video. It becomes clear that he desires some privileges from Epic, which he believes he is entitled to because he has supported Fortnite for “so long” and has a large reach.
He wants:
To be invited to the lucrative eSports tournament Fall Skirmish
Permanent access to the exclusive Streamer Mode “Custom Game”, so he can play with his community in custom lobbies
His contact person at Epic Games to respond to his messages immediately
And preferential treatment for his friend “Steel”
The response from Epic: From the messages from Seehuber, which ApoRed reads out, it can be seen why Epic does not grant him preferential treatment:
Epic distances itself from ApoRed. It is said that ApoRed is not “brandsafe.” This likely means that, due to previous behavior, such as the “There is a bomb in the bag” incident, he has received negative attention. Epic wants nothing to do with him.
Additionally, a “clickbait video” by ApoRed about Fortnite is explicitly criticized. He titled it “Epic gives me the rarest skin.” In reality, ApoRed simply bought a PlayStation 4 bundle, which included the skin.
Furthermore, Seehuber is said to not grant many of these privileges himself but rather others at Epic.
ApoRed makes it personal
ApoRed’s problem with Seehuber: ApoRed’s anger is directed not against Epic as a whole, but against his contact person there: ApoRed sees Epic’s rejection as a personal misbehavior on Seehuber’s part.
ApoRed feels he is treated “cheekily” by him. This has never happened to him in all his years on YouTube. Moreover, Seehuber is said to prefer other Fortnite YouTubers who are personally closer to him. ApoRed finds them “irrelevant.”
He considers Epic’s objections to be ridiculous. He feels entirely “brandsafe” and “authentic,” and has numerous collaborations with companies. ApoRed thinks Seehuber must have personal reasons for treating him this way. He accuses Seehuber of “hating him to death.”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUtTO4oKHI4
ApoRed wants to apply pressure: In the video, ApoRed calls on his community to spam Seehuber on all social channels. Above all, they should inform Seehuber’s superiors.
Apparently, ApoRed wants to achieve Seehuber’s dismissal.
The opposite of “brandsafe”
YouTube colleague critically critiques ApoRed: Another well-known German YouTuber is “HandofBlood.” He sharply criticizes ApoRed. In a post on Twitter, HandofBlood advises his colleague to delete the video before he gets sued again.

For HandofBlood, it is clear why Epic does not support ApoRed. The idea that ApoRed is “brandsafe” is absolute nonsense. He is the opposite of “brandsafe” with his content.
Fortnite and YouTube is an interesting combination with explosive potential, as seen several times:
The Night Elves are undergoing a major change in World of Warcraft. Especially Tyrande will never be the same as before…
The next patch of World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth is active on the test servers. The Update 8.1 “Tides of Vengeance” brings many new stories and exciting developments in the lore. Some of these events have already been read from the game data and promise changes for the Night Elf Tyrande.
Spoiler Warning:If you do not want to know about Tyrande’s fate, do not continue reading. You have been warned.
Return to Teldrassil: In patch 8.1, Tyrande and some Night Elves return to the Darkshore and thus to Teldrassil to witness the extent of the destruction. However, Tyrande wants to complete a ritual that makes her a “Night Warrior” – a Night Warrior.
What is a Night Warrior? Although there is currently little information about a “Night Warrior”, it is not a completely new construct. Those who pursue the profession of Archeology may know the item “Necklace with Elune’s Pendant”. Its description states:
“Elune is the supreme deity of the Night Elves. She is associated with the larger of the two moons, the White Lady. Although she is a goddess of peace, she is by no means pacifistic. One of her aspects is the Night Warrior, who lets the souls of those who have proven themselves brave in life ride as stars across the sky.”
This suggests that the ritual represents a specialization within the priesthood of Elune. After all, the priestesses of the Night Elves are trained warriors, skilled with the bow, and master strategists.
The steps in the scenario: Tyrande’s ascension is explained during a scenario that presumably takes place at the end of a questline. Even though the scenario surrounding Tyrande’s ascension is not yet playable, the individual steps and their descriptions have already been extracted. Accordingly, the scenario proceeds as follows:
Sail to the ruins of Auberdine.
Find the Eye of Elune in the ruins of Auberdine.
Defeat “Bilegut” and escape from the hall.
Investigate the screams nearby.
Rescue the captured Kaldorei in the Withering Thicket.
Find Tyrande in Bashal’Aran.
Protect Tyrande while she completes the Night Warrior ritual.
Witness Tyrande’s ascension to Night Warrior.
Hunt Nathanos Blightcaller.
Find Nathanos Blightcaller nearby.
Intervene before Nathanos resurrects the fallen as Forsaken.
Return to the fleet and scout the Horde army.
How the scenario proceeds will presumably be revealed by Blizzard only in the live version. There is no release date for that yet.
New model for Tyrande: The ritual to become a Night Warrior causes Tyrande to receive a different model at the end. Besides her significantly more impressive armor, another detail has changed: her eyes have turned black. This is likely an expression of Elune’s “dark side” and thus quite fitting for a Night Warrior.
All leagues and teams in FIFA 19 can be found here in the overview. We provide the new and existing league licenses in the list and include the teams. The national teams of men and women are also listed in the overview.
The special feature of FIFA 19 – numerous real leagues and teams. Compared to Pro Evolution Soccer, the FIFA series has had a significant advantage for years: a ton of rights and licenses for leagues, teams, and stadiums are held by EA Sports. This means that you can virtually play in FIFA 19 with “real” teams that also exist in real football.
This unique selling point provides greater authenticity and realism on the pitch – and is a decisive purchasing reason for many fans. After all, they want to play with their favorite clubs and players and proudly represent their colors in the football simulation.
The new leagues in FIFA 19 – All new licenses
New leagues in FIFA 19: Every year fans eagerly watch which new league licenses EA Sports has secured for the upcoming FIFA installment. For FIFA 19, the highlights are
the Italian Serie A – which has been called “Calcio A” in the game over the last few years.
In FIFA 18, especially German fans were delighted by the Third League, which was introduced in FIFA for the first time. This will also be included in FIFA 19.

When it comes to eSports sites and the best WoW guild, World of Warcraft is experiencing a second spring… precisely as PvE eSports. The World-First guild Method sees great potential in competitive raiding.
Viewers from all over the world were able to follow the guild’s progress live on Twitch until the last boss was downed. The race took place from September 11 to the World-First kill of G’huun on September 19.
Excited WoW players could cheer along in the continuous stream or learn from the top players.
The first boss: Taloc.
Why hasn’t anyone done this before? Actually, live streaming current raid content has not been common in WoW’s history. Because every raid guild protects its secrets.
One does not openly talk about the raid because one has developed their own tactics for each boss.
These tricks and tactics are meant to remain secret so that competitors do not find out and one maintains an advantage.
World First powered by Red Bull
Why could the raid be seen this time? It probably has to do with the sponsors behind Method. They have made this otherwise secret raid a public event:
Red Bull invited 4 of Method’s most popular players to London and showcased the action – the other 16 players then joined the raid online.
World First Raid boosts WoW on Twitch
Did it work? As noted by eSportsobserver, the eSports event was a success:
For the most popular player Scott “sco” McMillan: he peaked at 167,200 viewers. He had never had more.
For the guild itself, their three main streams peaked at 226,000 viewers.
World First elevates PvE eSports to a new level: Even back in 2017, Blizzard opened the doors to an eSports event in PvE with the “Mythic Dungeon Invitational”.
Method has now triumphantly walked through the door with the World First raid.
In terms of viewer numbers, the Method raid in 2018 was far above the figures that Blizzard could achieve with the Mythic Dungeons in 2017. The World-First raid reached peak numbers about 3 to 5 times higher, depending on how many channels are compared.
Method impresses
What does the guild behind it say: There is certainly a commercial intention behind the action. The co-founder and co-owner of Method, Sascha Steffens, says they have proven that competitive raiding in WoW can attract a large audience.
This is comparable to the largest eSports events.
So far, eSports has been viewed too “narrowly” as purely a PvP game. Steffens believes eSports can be more than that. Competitive PvE has enormous potential.
The performance of Destiny 2 has noticeably declined since Forsaken. Guardians on PS4 and Xbox One are now demanding a patch to make the game run smoother.
Performance patch needed: A few days ago, a Guardian posted in the reddit forum: “The consoles absolutely need a performance patch.” And thousands of Guardians agreed with him.
Over 8600 users have already left their upvotes to bring this issue to Bungie’s attention.
Long wait times annoy the Guardians
What is the problem? Since the Warmind expansion, Guardians on PS4 and Xbox One have noticed that the loading times in Destiny 2 have increased. The login process alone takes an eternity, and even in the menus and user interface, players are frequently forced to wait.
Since Forsaken, the performance losses have been enormous: With the Year 2 expansion, the performance issues have worsened. The framerate now regularly drops when a lot of action occurs, and the loading times in the inventory and character overview take longer than ever before. Many users agree that the performance has now reached a low point at which Bungie must respond. And the developers have responded.
This is what Bungie says about a possible performance patch
The community manager dmg04 responded in the reddit forum to this widely discussed complaint post. He is forwarding the reports of slow performance to the relevant team at Bungie. He cannot say more yet, but he wants to inform the Guardians that Bungie is aware of the problem.
Problem is being investigated: There is now an official statement on the Bungie site regarding this. They are investigating the issue where some players experience longer loading times than intended for menus and in the UI on consoles. This is what the Guardians say about it: Many players in the forums are glad that Bungie is finally officially planning to do something about the poor performance.
However, there are also complaints that the developers apparently underestimate or downplay this problem. Because it is not just “some” players who are affected, but all Guardians on PS4 and Xbox One.
Problem goes beyond the menus: Additionally, it is not just the menus that are affected, but the entire game – from logging in to framerate drops. When switching between zones in the open world, players now almost always get stuck on a loading screen. Smooth zone transitions have become a rarity.
While using an external SSD can significantly reduce loading times, as some users say, it is still up to Bungie to get Destiny 2 running smoothly again.

The crossover between Monster Hunter World and the PS4-exclusive Horizon: Zero Dawn is entering its next round. New equipment awaits the hunters. You must complete this new quest for that.
The crossover between Monster Hunter World and Horizon: Zero Dawn, which only exists on PS4, was one of the first events at release last spring. Players had the opportunity to unlock the equipment of Horizon character Aloy and an outfit for the Palico.
This equipment is not exactly among the top choices, which is why hardly anyone was seen with it. Fans would have preferred an Aloy skin almost seven months ago over a bad armor set that no one uses.
Now the crossover continues with a new quest and new equipment, as the official Twitter channel for Monster Hunter announced. And this time the fans’ wish will be granted.
The new event quest is impressive
What is the quest about? The new event quest is called “The Heart of the Nora”. In this quest, you must face two tempered Deviljho, a large and a small specimen will stand in your way.
The tempered Deviljho is among the tougher opponents in Monster Hunter World. This time it even comes in pairs, so you should prepare well.
When will the Horizon quest arrive? The quest “The Heart of the Nora” is on the way, but there is still no release date. That will be announced soon.
What does the reward look like? If you successfully complete the quest and gather the necessary materials, you can craft the γ-set variant of the Aloy armor. Additionally, you can also unlock a decoration armor.
This will allow players to hunt monsters as Aloy without affecting the stats.
Will everyone be walking around in Aloy outfits soon?
The alpha version of the Horizon armor is not exactly among the best armors and comes with rather weak skills. Accordingly, it is also not frequently used.
Could the gamma version change that? You can only speculate here. Gamma armors stand out from others due to stronger skills and significantly more decoration slots.
Some parts of the armor could indeed become useful in the gamma version. We’ll have to wait and see.
Monster Hunter World fulfills a great wish: Fans can fortunately disregard whether the gamma armor will have good stats. Through the event quest, one can also unlock Aloy’s decoration armor.
A trend has become evident in Monster Hunter World for a few months now. With every update and festival, Capcom adds new skins. By now, players can choose from numerous different skins, including at the latest harvest festival, where you can get pumpkin outfits.
Players receive a skin that they can overlay on any armor. Thus, everyone, regardless of the equipment, can look like Aloy. Will Astera thus become a land where many Aloys roam around?
While it is nice when developers fulfill the wishes of the fans, whether a skin that fans requested 7 months ago will improve the mood is questionable.
Currently, in Monster Hunter World, aside from the harvest festival and the tempered monsters, there is a lull.
Players would much rather see new monsters, a new map, or G-rank. However, Capcom has not commented on that yet.
