Recently, Deoxys was announced as the new EX Raid Boss in Pokémon GO, and there is now new information about the monster. Deoxys’s attacks and its base catch rate appeared in the code.
Catch Rate Comparable to Mewtwo
This news will please some players. The basic catch rate of Deoxys is 6%, just like that of Mewtwo from EX Raids.
In comparison, the catch rate of most legendary Pokémon from raids is significantly lower. Their catch rate is 2%. Therefore, most legendary Pokémon are on paper significantly harder to catch than Deoxys.
Increase Catch Rate: You can increase the catch rate with common methods. This includes using Razz Berries. Additionally, throwing great, ultra, and simply excellent throws increases the catch rate. It should pose no problems for experienced players to catch Deoxys.
Each Form Learns Different Attacks: The special feature of Deoxys is its ability to take different forms. There are the Normal, Attack, Defense, and Speed forms. So far, Niantic has only mentioned the Normal form in their announcements. Now, data miners from GoHub found that each form of Deoxys can learn different attacks in Pokémon GO.
Special Attack Psycho Boost: In the console games, Deoxys could learn the special attack Psycho Boost. This was intended only for the mythical Pokémon. The attack is also coming to Pokémon GO with Deoxys. The Psychic attack has, according to Gamepress, a base value of 70 and two charge bars. In Pokémon GO, each form of Deoxys can learn this attack.
You can see this and the other attacks here:
Normal Form:
Fast Attacks: Zen Headbutt (Psychic), Charge Beam (Electric)
Just aired the latest State of the Game from The Division. In the live stream, Massive revealed how The Division will continue in the coming month.
What is the State of the Game? In this live stream, the developers keep the community updated on everything happening around The Division.
This week it was about October. In addition to a new Shield, there will be another Global Event. There are also news regarding the announced Dev Blog for The Division 2.
This is the next Shield “Rebel”
The next Shield “Rebel” is coming at the beginning of October and sends you into the resistance.
This is what you need to do for the new Shield: To complete the Shield, you must reach wave 15 in resistance mode. This requirement is not retroactive.
What are the Shields? These new achievements are supposed to provide various smaller rewards for the agents. This applies in The Division 1 as well as in part 2.
Next Global Event Blackout comes in October
As already suspected, there will also be another Global Event in October with Blackout.
When does the event start? Blackout will start on October 22nd and will be active for a week. Exact dates will be announced later.
These are the modifications for Blackout:
Blackout (Always active): Players receive shock ammunition, which you can use to stun enemies. By running or shooting, you fill a charge meter. You deal more damage the higher the charge is.
Extreme Blackout (In addition to Blackout): Enemies can be killed in melee by overcharging. If you miss the enemy or exceed your charge of 100%, players and allies will be stunned.
Total Blackout (In addition to Blackout and extreme Blackout): Your charge meter empties faster when close to team members.
Like in September, there will also be smaller events in the upcoming month.
On October 5th, the Dark Zone weekend starts. This weekend is all about supply deliveries. The first 24 hours will have double rewards, and on the next day, the deliveries should occur every 30 minutes.
From October 18th, there will be another double container weekend. During this event, players will receive double the operational performance containers.
Dev Blog for The Division 2: The first entry of the Dev Blog for The Division 2 will be released soon. We will keep you updated.
In October, a new update called Age of Discovery will be released for PC players of Star Trek Online. In it, you can play as a Federation character during the time of the controversial Discovery series.
What is Age of Discovery? The new update for Star Trek Online is based on the latest Star Trek television series Discovery. Therefore, the story takes place before the classic original Star Trek series featuring Kirk, Spock, and others. Previously, there were premium ships and sparkly uniforms from Discovery available in the game.
What is included in Age of Discovery? With the update, the first chapter of a new storyline will be introduced, which will take place entirely in the Discovery timeline. There will be two episodes, and further updates will expand this story and add new locations and characters.
You will create a character from the Starfleet in the Discovery timeline and will even receive your own tutorial. The update also includes additional reputation tiers, a new task force, and other new gameplay features.
On the road with Tilly: As a special highlight, the developers have included Cadet Tilly from the series in the game. The lively young officer was already a fan favorite in the series and will play an important role in the first mission of the new storyline.
Tilly in the game is voiced by the original actress Mary Wiseman.
When will the new update be released? Age of Discovery will be released on October 9, 2018, for PC. The console version will come out a bit later as usual.
Discovery is controversial
How are fans reacting? Star Trek: Discovery is a series that divides the Star Trek fan community. Many felt that the new series strayed too far from the established Star Trek canon. The aggressive storyline, controversial plot twists, and especially the redesign of the Klingons as grunting space orcs did not sit well with many fans.
Others, however, loved Discovery precisely because it was something different from what Star Trek fans were used to.
Fans are divided: The reactions to the Discovery update are similarly mixed. Some fans have had enough of Star Trek Online and never want to touch it again if the upcoming episodes are solely focused on the Discovery universe they despise.
Others, however, are looking forward to a new storyline in a fresh timeline and especially to Cadet Tilly as an NPC in the new episodes.
The official intro of Fallout 76 has been released. Check out how the game introduces you to the devastated world of West Virginia and tells the backstory.
Official intro of Fallout 76: Along with the announcement of the beta starting in October, Bethesda has released the official in-game intro of Fallout 76. The clip shows how the situation arose that players of Fallout 76 find themselves in.
Fallout 76 – an MMO for Fallout Fans
What is Fallout 76 about? The intro explains that America sees war as the only way out of the current conflict and draws eerie parallels to historical events, such as the Cold War.
You are one of the survivors of the war and are tasked with ensuring that America is rebuilt and the spirit of humanity continues to live on.
What is Fallout 76? Fallout 76 is an MMO Fallout with survival aspects. You play alone or in a group and travel the vast West Virginia searching for materials for your base. The features are mostly “classic Fallout”:
You can play how you want – as a fighter or trader
Fallout 76 is designed for groups of multiple players, even though you can play alone. In a group, you gain more experience and you are less likely to be shot down by other players.
In Fallout 76, there are also some mechanics designed to protect new players and PvP opponents from unpleasant encounters.
When can I play Fallout 76? Fallout 76 will be released on November 14, 2018, for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. The beta will be available for Xbox One on October 23, 2018, and for PS4 and PC on October 30, 2018.
The community is still diligently compiling codes for the Wall of Wishes in Destiny 2. Now a wish has been found that allows you to “summon” a popular NPC in the raid – the AI Failsafe.
The Wall of Wishes, which recently opened in the Forsaken raid “Last Wish”, continues to engage the community. Now the ninth wish has been found, which allows the AI Failsafe to be “summoned”. She “takes over” our Guardian during the raid and provides her commentary on the events.
What does the ninth wish do? The ninth wish can be activated with the following code in the Room of Wishes in the “Last Wish” raid:
As a result, Failsafe “takes over” our Guardian during the raid. During each encounter, Failsafe now comments on the events as “Captain”. Below, we have translated some of her remarks from English.
If you prefer to experience this yourself, you should not read any further!
During the encounter with Shuro Chi, the happy Failsafe says: “Another humanoid woman, is she a friend or foe?” To which the grumpy Failsafe responds: “Either way, I will shoot her.”
After the battle with Shuro Chi, the happy Failsafe says: “I was aware that it is my duty as Captain to shoot bad guys and save good guys. I didn’t know that could mean both.” Grumpy Failsafe: “That is … confusing.”
After defeating the ogre Morgeth, the happy Failsafe cheers: “I just defied 37 laws of physics!” Grumpy Failsafe: “Cooooool.”
Who is Failsafe? Failsafe is an AI from the Golden Age. After the colony ship Exodus Black crashed on Nessus, she has been stranded on the planetoid for centuries. Due to the crash and long loneliness, Failsafe has developed two personalities, one of which is happy and the other grumpy.
How are players reacting to the new wish? In the Destiny subreddit, Guardians are currently having fun with the ninth wish. Despite some criticism, Failsafe is a popular NPC.
However, some players hoped for a different voice. On Reddit, some Guardians were disappointed that they can summon Failsafe and not the currently very popular Crucible overseer Lord Shaxx.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, there’s a bonus challenge in Season 6 that you can only complete if you finish all weekly tasks. You can find out what the bonus image looks like and where to find the treasure here.
The new Hunt Group Challenge: With Season 6, the new series of bonus challenges starts. This time, it’s called “Hunt Group” and likely revolves around the Cowgirl and Monster Hunter Calamity. The wolf might also be featured in it.
Throughout Season 6, you will be able to unlock a new image each week and thus get to know the story of Calamity and Season 6 better.
How do you get the bonus image? To get the first bonus image from the challenge, you must complete all tasks from Week 1 of Season 6. You can find out how to do that in our Guide to Week 1 of Season 6.
Here is where to find the secret star
Where do I have to search? The solution to the riddle is as always found in the image. There you see a red tractor in the background. The star hovers barely visible above the agricultural vehicle.
The red tractor is indeed present in the game exactly like that. Specifically, it is located east of Paradise Palms at the ranch at coordinates J8 on the map. It stands on a hillside. But be careful when you collect the star. You might get attacked by campers. Also, you must have unlocked the image first. Otherwise, the star won’t appear.
Is there a video as well? Anyone who wants to see it exactly can watch the embedded YouTube video here. In it, you’ll learn in moving images where to search.

The image and the meta-plot: The scene in the image shows Calamity working on her ranch. In the background, there are loot llamas, the Battle Pass skin “Saddled” and a few figures that likely represent upcoming skins. Among them is a scarecrow.
It’s quite possible that something terrible will happen soon and monsters will attack the ranch. Because according to Calamity’s description text, she will go from cowgirl to avenger.

Fallout 76 – Important Information about the Beta Release
Servers not available continuously: According to Bethesda, the goal of the Beta is to eliminate as many bugs in the game as possible. Players are encouraged to test Fallout 76 thoroughly and also “break it”.
The Beta servers will not be available continuously. Each day that the Beta is held, the servers are expected to be available for four to eight hours. During this time, as many players as possible are encouraged to play.
Feedback collected on Twitter, Facebook, and the official forums will then be used to resolve bugs and improve things before the servers are brought back online. This cycle will be how the entire Beta proceeds.
Streaming is allowed: For the Fallout 76 Beta, there is also no NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement). This means that from the very first second of the Beta, all content may be shown publicly.
Participants in the Beta can livestream everything they experience during the Beta, for example on Twitch, or publish screenshots to share with others.
Technical Tests in advance: In addition to the actual Beta test (or B.E.T.A.), there will be time-limited stress tests meant to prepare for the Beta itself. Randomly selected players will be invited to participate in these tests, but they will be under an NDA while testing Fallout 76.
The stress tests are already underway.
Fallout 76 Beta FAQ
How can I participate? You need to pre-order Fallout 76. In our article about the B.E.T.A, you can learn more about participation and the Beta test. Which of the various editions you pre-order does not matter.
Do I need to download Fallout 76 additionally? If you are testing Fallout 76 on PS4 or Xbox One, you will need to download the game again after release. PC players do not need an additional client.

All heroes from Overwatch have received new voice lines on the PTR. These are supposed to be pain-distorted. However, according to the community, this didn’t work out so well.
Pleasure instead of pain: All heroes in Overwatch have new sound effects. The voice actors have recorded new pain screams that can be heard when a hero is burning. However, the screams sound more like pleasure than pain, according to the community.
In the following video, you can listen to how it sounds. Warning! If you are using speakers, outsiders might think something wrong. We recommend headphones.

Torbjörn is to blame: The reason for recording new pain screams is the rework of the DPS hero Torbjörn. He has a completely different skill kit in the current version of the Overwatch PTR:
the scrap mechanic has been removed
turrets are now placed by throwing
the weapon is stronger
instead of distributing armor, Torbjörn buffs himself
and the ultimate “Melted Core” distributes lava puddles.
The new lava puddles burn opponents and deal additional damage if they have armor. This ability is precisely why new voice recordings were made and played.
As soon as a character is in the lava puddles, he screams in pain.
Torbjörn himself also has new screams.
The community finds it funny: The comments on the new voice files are mostly positive; the community finds it funny. However, the goal of conveying the pain of burning seems to have been somewhat missed.
Only Lúcio’s screams are praised by the fans. For him, it sounds like he is really burning and not having fun. The comment from “Mediocre Gamer” summarizes it well:
Everyone: Reaches the climax
Lúcio: “I AM LITERALLY ON FIRE AND MY MUSIC DOES NOTHING TO HELP”

In Season 6, Week 1 of Fortnite: Battle Royale, the challenge is: Dance under various streetlight lamps. We will show you on a map where to find the streetlights in Fortnite that you need to dance under.
Fortnite has launched Season 6 and unlocked many new challenges in the Battle Pass. One of these challenges requires you to dance under various streetlights. To help you complete this task quickly and easily, we will show you the locations with streetlights in Fortnite where you should dance.
Map with Lanterns in Fortnite – Here You Can Find Streetlights
You probably want to quickly reach level 100 in the Battle Pass and unlock the cool werewolf skin. This means you need to complete challenges.
This is what the relevant lanterns look like.
In our list of tasks in Week 1 of Season 6 in Fortnite, you will see that you need to open chests or eliminate opponents. There is also a dance challenge that we will help you with here.
Dance Locations in Fortnite: Not every random streetlamp in Fortnite qualifies for this challenge. You actually need only 7; on the map, you will see even more places that work.
The Overview in Text Form – Here You Find Streetlights to Dance Under
Exactly in the middle of Greasy Grove
West of Tilted Towers on the soccer field – there in the north
In the southeastern corner of Tilted Towers
In the northern part of Fatal Fields, near the barn with the tin roof
West in the middle of Retail Row, near the area blocked off with chains
At the entrance sign of Risky Reels
At the parking lot that is north of Lazy Links
In the tunnel south of Tomato Temple (Thanks to Magic Guy)
At the old motel between Lazy Links and Junk Junction (Thanks to Tina)
Slightly west of Dusty Divot, right at the crater on the path into the forest (Thanks Chiefryddmz)
How to Complete the Challenge Most Easily? Instead of throwing yourself into the normal mode, you should best play 50 vs 50. This way, you can get around the map more easily, and not everyone is trying to kill you. Therefore, the task should be significantly easier here.
In Destiny 2, you can now obtain a new weapon in the Nightfall that is said to be quite powerful. It is strike-specific loot.
This weapon is: “The Mind of Horror” is a legendary pulse rifle that you can obtain in this week since September 25 in Destiny 2. It is tied to a Nightfall strike.
How to obtain The Mind of Horror: Play the Nightfall version of the strike “The Corrupted”. This is the strike in the Dreaming City. You have a low chance to drop the weapon; it is not guaranteed. You can only obtain The Mind of Horror when “The Corrupted” is selectable in the Nightfall strike overview.
What makes The Mind of Horror in Destiny 2
The Mind of Horror is a strike-specific, legendary pulse rifle that belongs to the “Rapid-Fire Frame” archetype. It has a high rate of fire and a slightly increased reload speed when the magazine is empty. The weapon deals elemental damage:
The stats of The Mind of Horror are solid across the board for a pulse rifle of this archetype. The aim assist stands out. It has a strong optimal time-to-kill of 0.8 seconds in PvP.
The pulse rifle drops with random perks. However, there is also a hand-picked catalyst role by Bungie that you will have on The Mind of Horror if you obtain it directly as a masterpiece.
Zen Moment: Damage dealt with this weapon increases its stability
Outlaw: Precision kills significantly reduce reload time
For the random perks, you should look out for these perks:
Polygonal Rifling: Increases stability
Zen Moment, Headseeker (body hits temporarily increase precision damage) or Targeting Adjuster (aiming increases effective range)
Outlaw, Kill Clip (reloading after a kill increases damage) or Dragonfly (precision kills cause the target to explode)
Generally, ensure that you increase stability and range for The Mind of Horror. The base range is already quite good, but engagements at longer distances are not recommended for this pulse rifle archetype. Every bit of stability and range alleviates this drawback.
Is The Mind of Horror worth it?
If you increase the stability of this weapon with appropriate perks, The Mind of Horror should shoot as precisely as a laser and feel really good.
The masterpiece version grants The Mind of Horror an additional +10 stability on top of the fixed perks, making it even more stable. Your shots will reliably hit targets at short to medium distances, and you will also hit something at longer ranges.
According to the YouTuber xHOUNDISHx, it is probably the best rapid-firing pulse rifle that is not just for pulse rifle enthusiasts. He even calls it an “epic, strike-exclusive pulse rifle” that is useful in both PvE and PvP. How it performs in practice can be seen here:

For those who have not been on the radar for a year: Cryptic Studios is working on an MMORPG for “Magic: The Gathering”. And now a job listing has brought a small sign of life to light.
There is finally news about the “Magic: The Gathering” MMORPG that Cryptic Studios (Neverwinter) is working on – more than a year after the announcement of the game!
Magic as MMO?
What is the MMO about Magic: The Gathering? In June 2017, Cryptic Studios and Perfect World announced to develop a new MMORPG. This is set in the universe of the popular card game Magic: The Gathering. Except that it is being worked on and it uses the Free2Play model, we only know that the title focuses on the characters, the story, and the world and not on the cards.
Silence from the developers: After the announcement, there was silence around the online game. Fans had already wondered if it was still in development. Apparently, the title was announced very early, which is why it is now taking so long to learn more about it.
Here is what’s new: In a job listing, Cryptic Studios is looking for a “Character Artist”. This person is expected to collaborate with designers and other artists on the team to create interesting characters. These will then be transferred to the game as 3D models.
The job listing states that the new hire should ideally have a passion for Magic: The Gathering. This is a pretty good indication that Cryptic Studios is currently looking for someone to work on the MMO for Magic. The online game is still in development.
How are the fans reacting? This news brings hope to the fans of Magic: The Gathering. On the other hand, there is also some skepticism.
Massively-OPUser sophiskiai says: “I haven’t played Magic since the mid-90s and I try not to get my hopes up before they announce things like the business model and monetization strategies… But with 25 years of fantastic story, it could really be cool.”
Hexen counters: “Has any game ever been announced – without naming any information about the gameplay – that did not turn out to be a gankbox?”
We hope that Cryptic Studios will soon release more details about the MMO or maybe show some gameplay material.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale, the challenges for Week 1 in Season 6 are known. We will show you how to complete them and unlock the first tiers in the new Battle Pass.
The easiest challenges so far:Season 6 has started and, as usual, there are new challenges. This time, they are all quite easy to complete. Additionally, the previously mandatory treasure hunt is missing. Instead, there are two phase challenges.
Free and paid: As known from the previous Season 5, three of these tasks are available for free to all players. We will show you those in the first table depicted here.
For the four challenges in the second list, you need the paid Battle Pass. However, you can still purchase itright before the end of Season 6, and your progress from the free version will be credited there.
Bonus star after all challenges: If you complete all challenges in the first week, you will receive a new banner with a bonus star from the hunt group challenge.
All challenges from Week 1 in Season 6

Oops, unfortunately this table is no longer available.
Challenge 1 – Collect a legendary item in different matches
Happy collecting: Legendary items are all items that glow gold. You can often find them in supply drops and sometimes in chests, and rarely as ground spawns. Collecting three of them is not really hard. However, it must be in three different rounds.
Challenge 2 – Regain health through a crackling campfire
Simple task: This task is easy to complete. You just need to find and use a campfire as an item. Once you have regenerated 150 health points, the task is completed. You will need at least two tries since you can only lose a maximum of 99 hit points.
Challenge 3 – Phase 1: Search chests (hard)
Ends up being hard: This task has three phases. In the first, you only need to open three chests, which you might accomplish in one match. After that, you need to open two supply drops. Ideally, you do this in the 50vs50 mode. The last task is tricky. You need to loot a llama. Unfortunately, these creatures are very rare. However, we have linked a guide to finding llamas here.
Challenge 4 – Recharge your shields (Battle Pass only)
Extra simple task: Even the worst beginner has charged 500 shield points at some time. This task is really easy.
Challenge 5 – Phase 1: Land at Junk Junction (Battle Pass only)
Landing is enough: You really only need to land at the location, nothing else. After that, there are four more phases that will send you to the following locations. You also just need to land there:
Recently, Sony announced that it will now support crossplay. The first title to do so soon will be Fortnite. What about Fallout 76? Here’s what Bethesda says.
Now fans are wondering if Fallout 76 will also offer a crossplay feature for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Bethesda did not take long to respond.
Sony allows Crossplay – Does this affect Fallout 76?
Pete Hines, Vice President of Bethesda and responsible for marketing, has commented positively on Sony’s decision via Twitter. However, it seems that nothing is changing for Fallout 76.
This is what Hines says about crossplay in Fallout 76: He is working with many developers for whom crossplay will be important in the future.
However, this will have no impact on the development of Fallout 76, at least not in the B.E.T.A or at launch. Whether crossplay could play a role later, he left open.

Upon probing by fans, he emphasized again that the release of Fallout 76 is only seven weeks away and that it is simply not feasible to integrate crossplay in such a short time.
Crossplay for Fallout 76 not a new topic
In the past, there have been increased discussions about crossplay and Sony’s refusal to enable it. Bethesda was one of the larger publishers who openly criticized Sony for this.
What was the situation with Fallout 76? Leading employees of Bethesda have commented on this in the past. Todd Howard, head of Bethesda Game Studios, held Sony partially responsible for there being no crossplay in Fallout 76.
Penalty kicks can decide games in FIFA 19. In this tutorial on penalty shooting, we explain what you need to consider when shooting and saving, and how you can practice penalties.
Especially in knockout games like the FUT Champions matches, it can be crucial to convert and save penalties.
So that you don’t hit every ball into the stands like Ramos, we explain in this guide how to shoot penalties and then save the opponent’s attempts.

FIFA 19: Taking Penalties
Few changes: The penalty mechanics were last adjusted in FIFA 18, and in FIFA 19, aside from a few minor improvements, nothing has changed. Overall, taking penalties works on the Xbox, PS4, PC, and Switch just like last season.
Nevertheless, penalties are tougher: Last year there was a simple trick from the spot. You just had to aim the ball half left or half right and low at the goal. Goalkeepers almost always jumped over the ball. This no longer works in FIFA 19.
What you need to consider: Many players feel that penalties have become even more sensitive. Many tried to charge their shots just as strongly as in FIFA 18 but found their balls all ending up in the stands. More finesse is required!
Step 1 – Adjust Starting Position
You can use the left stick to position your player. You have all four directions to choose from:
Left/Right: By moving your player parallel to the goal line, you adjust the angle of approach and thus the angle at which your player strikes the ball during the shot.
Forward/Backward: Changing your distance to the ball at the starting position adjusts your run-up time. So, step further back to have more time when approaching to gain more speed.
Helper Arrow is useful at the beginning: Once you’ve positioned your player, it’s time to shoot. At the start, it’s advisable to enable the helper arrow. This shows you exactly where and how strongly you’re aiming. You can toggle the penalty arrow on or off using “D-pad up”.
Set the direction before the run-up: In FIFA 19, you can aim for penalties without running up. Just move the left analog stick forward and to the left or right, depending on how far you want to aim into the corner.
Attention – The stick is sensitive! You must be careful to keep movements minimal. The stick when taking penalties is very sensitive, and your shot can quickly go towards the corner flag.
Step 3 – Determine Shot Power and Start Run-up
Start run-up: If you’re satisfied with your direction, charge the penalty using the shoot button (PS4: Circle, Xbox: B). Once you’ve set the shot power, the player will run up.
Finesse is required: If you have the arrow on, you should fill the 3 lower sections of the arrow fully so that green appears below the tip. Then the ball goes just under the crossbar. If you charge more, the ball will go towards the stands.
If you want to shoot low, just charge less. However, there’s a risk that the shot might be too weak if you don’t add enough power.
Change direction during the run-up: You can also change your shot direction during the run-up or set it only then. First, perform step 3 by charging your shot. Then adjust the direction using the left stick during the run-up.
Delay: If you want to trick the goalkeeper, you can also delay your run-up. During the run-up, press L2 (PS4) or LT (Xbox).
Run up faster: To get more power behind your penalty, you can press R2 or RT during the run-up. This makes your player run faster.
General Tips and Tricks for Taking Penalties
Change Shooters: You can change your shooter before executing by pressing the R2/RB button.
Lob: If you want to cheekily chip the ball, press the L1/LB button along with the shoot button.
Curling Penalty: To put spin on the shot, press the R1/RB button in addition to the shoot button.
Training Mode: If you want to test and practice your knowledge about penalties outside of matches, you can do this in the training arena. Just press an arrow key in the penalty area. Another way to practice penalties is through skill games.
FIFA 19: Saving Penalties
It’s not only important to score shots but also to save them. Here, there’s significantly less to consider.
Move the Keeper: Use the left stick to move your goalkeeper on the line. You can also stay put if you suspect the opponent wants to shoot to the center.
Confuse the Goalkeeper: To throw the shooter off their game, you can use the buttons “X, Circle, Triangle, Square” / “Y, B, A, X” to perform various movements.
Jump: To dive, press the right stick in the desired direction when the opponent shoots. Pressing downwards to the left means jumping down to the left, and this works analogously for the other directions.
Recognizing the Shooter’s Direction as a Goalkeeper
Trick to recognize shot direction: Since FIFA 18, this method works to predict where the shooter will aim before the shot. You just need to pay attention to the player’s head movement who is taking the penalty. If he looks slightly to the left, he is aiming to the left.
Good shooters exploit this: As you approach, for instance, aim to the left and then change direction to the right just before the shot, this can easily deceive the keeper. If you are shooting yourself, you can also try this trick. If you are the goalkeeper, always keep this in mind.
If you want to play earlier, you have to pay. This is also the case with the online shooter Warface. If you want to be part of the now started Early Access, you need to purchase a founder’s package, even though Warface is actually a Free2Play title.
Crytek’s online shooter Warface is also coming to Xbox One. Officially, it’s only in October, but those who pay can start right now.
The online shooter on Xbox One
What is Warface? Warface is an online shooter developed by Crytek. The PC version has been playable since 2013, and this month the version for PS4 was released. The release for Xbox One is also planned for October 9.
You can play Warface either in PvP against other players or cooperatively against AI. In PvP, you can expect six game modes, including Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, and even Battle Royale in the future.
A paid Early Access: Warface is basically a Free2Play shooter. If you play on Xbox One from October 9, you don’t have to pay anything. However, if you want to get in earlier, this is only possible if you purchase one of the paid founder’s packages.
What founder’s packages are available? You can choose from four class packages, each costing 24.99 euros and besides immediate access to Early Access, include the following:
Engineer: You get the submachine gun Magpul FMG-9 and receive the gold version. Additionally, you receive the skin “Engineer of the Paragon Squad” and 300 credits
Sniper: The package includes the sniper rifle Remington R11 RSASS and the gold version, as well as the skin “Sniper of the Paragon Squad” and 300 credits
Assault: The assault rifle FN SCAR-H and the gold version, as well as the skin “Assault of the Paragon Squad” and 300 credits are included
Medic: You receive the Fabarm S.A.T. 8 Pro and the gold version in the package, the skin “Medic of the Paragon Squad” and 300 credits
For 74.99 you get a comprehensive package that offers the following:
Access to Early Access

Magpul FMG-9 including gold version
Sniper rifle Remington R11 RSASS and the gold version
Handgun CZ-75 with the gold version
Combat knife Hunting Commando

1500 credits
Paying for Free2Play games
Paid Free2Play: Anyone who wants to participate in the Early Access phase must pay for it. This practice is becoming increasingly common among Free2Play titles:
Dauntless was paid during the alpha, at release it is a Free2Play game
H1Z1 – This shooter also had a paid Early Access version, but the title was planned as a Free2Play game at release
This is how players react: The practice of charging for Free2Play games during an Early Access phase or alpha is controversial and thus some people find it unpalatable. Criticism can also be found on Twitter:
MattySW writes: “Wait, it’s not free on Xbox? That’s crap!”
Supreme itzGEO sarcastically says: “Something is wrong here. It’s supposed to be free.”
Others, however, are excited that the Early Access phase has started and celebrate it with Gifs, as can also be seen on Twitter.
Fortnite: Battle Royale has recently started Season 6. Here you will find all the new features and adjustments at a glance!

The prices for reforging in World of Warcraft can skyrocket. But should that really be the case? We want to hear your voice!
Reforging is a big topic of discussion in the World of Warcraft community. If you’re not careful, you can quickly incur high costs and waste your saved gold on adjusting your gear. But is that necessary? Do we really need such high costs? Do they serve a purpose, or are they pure hassle? We want to pass this question on to you.
What is Reforging? Once you have set properties on Azerite items (helmet, shoulders, and chest), you can reallocate their distribution. The Ascendants can help there and undo the distribution of an item. However, this costs gold.
While the initial price is cheap, the costs double each time. What cost only 1 gold at the beginning can quickly rise to over 40,000 gold coins. However, after a while without reforging, the price will go down again.
Sometimes, reforging can also easily cost 40,000 gold.
Multi-Specs are particularly affected: Those who play several active specializations are therefore advised to acquire multiple gear sets. Since high-quality Azerite armor over item level 340 is rare, these players often need to reallocate their properties. This is expensive and frustrating.
If you also enjoy PvP, where other properties are required again, you quickly face the choice: Do you pay hundreds of thousands of gold coins, or do you prefer to play ineffectively with the wrong properties?
But now let’s get to you: What do you think about reforging? Should it be free? Or are the costs good for removing gold from the game and making the decision to respec meaningful?

Cortyn says: Even though costs for respeccing (which is nothing else but reforging at the moment) is such a “classic” thing, I find it terrible. The bonuses are too powerful not to take advantage of them. Since I like to heal in dungeons but also enjoy playing as a Shadow Priest in PvP, I find the costs excessive. I might as well play up a second priest.
