From now on, interested parties can download the battle royale shooter Ring of Elysium for free on Steam.
The shooter Ring of Elysium has been quiet for some time, but now it is supposed to move quickly. Starting today, September 19, the battle royale title can be downloaded on Steam. However, it is still not available for EU players.
Is the next battle royale hype coming now?
What is Ring of Elysium? Ring of Elysium was initially known as “Europe,” but then received a name change. As in other battle royale games, you also have to search for weapons and equipment and compete against 99 competitors. However, there is also a story component.
This is the story of RoE: A cold wave has hit the mountain region of Mt. Dione. Authorities have already evacuated the population, but 100 people are still stuck in the mountain resort. The weather has made it impossible to rescue everyone. Only one helicopter is still in action, and the players must do everything they can to secure one of the four seats in the chopper.
What are the other differences? In addition to the story, Ring of Elysium has several other differences compared to genre veterans PUBG and Fortnite:
A dynamic weather system that can cause hypothermia
avalanches that threaten different parts of the map
Cover mechanics
A special equipment system in which each suitable item is automatically assigned to the corresponding weapon
Multiple mobility options such as paragliding, snowboarding, and mountaineering
First or third-person view
Since the helicopter has four seats, up to four players can win a match
In addition, there should be a whole range of other features, such as great performance, an “arcade game” playstyle, or a particularly clear user interface.
Note: Ring of Elysium is not yet available in the German Steam stores. Tencent states that they are also working on a EU version. However, a release date is not known yet.

In Destiny 2 a new bounty is available where you need to find and kill a Silent Reaver. This will bring you top loot!
Who is the Silent Reaver? The Silent Reaver is an enemy that must be eliminated in the weekly bounty called “Wanted: Silent Reaver”. You can find the bounty with Spider – that is the vendor in the Shattered Isles.
Spider offers a bounty each week that has this powerful gear as a reward. Don’t miss out on the top loot!
Location and Mechanics of the Silent Reaver
Here’s how the bounty works:
Step 1: Go to Spider in the Shattered Isles and buy the bounty “Wanted: Silent Reaver” with 5 Ghost Fragments. You can obtain Ghost Fragments in the Shattered Isles by completing public events or other bounties from Spider.
You must be at least Power Level 500 to accept the bounty. The recommended Power Level is 540. The bounty expires seven days after purchase.
Step 2: Now fly to Earth in the EDZ. There, after accepting the bounty, a new adventure called “Wanted: Silent Reaver” has appeared. Go there and start the adventure.
Step 3: The adventure leads you into a Lost Sector. There you will quickly encounter Shank enemies that drop a charge when defeated. With this charge, you can destroy the machine that generates a shield that blocks your path.
The fight against the Silent Reaver: The mechanics with the boss work similarly. This time, however, it is not the path, but the final boss that is blocked by a shield through which you can’t deal damage.
Therefore, you must defeat Shanks again, which drop charges upon death. You will first throw these charges at the shield generators and later at a Servitor that also generates a shield around the Silent Reaver. Once the Servitor has been destroyed with the charges, you can damage the boss.
After a while, another Servitor appears that sets up the shield again. Repeat the mechanics until the Silent Reaver is defeated.
Nexxoss Gaming shows you the path and mechanics of the Silent Reaver in the video:

If you are having trouble with the Silent Reaver, here are a few tips:
The recommended Power Level is 540. Since many Guardians have not yet reached this, you should definitely start the adventure in a fireteam.
The charges are usually located in the middle of enemy territory. Choose your Guardian with the highest Power Level, who can quickly run to the charge, pick it up, and throw it at the Servitor.
The other Guardians can hide at the entrance during this time. They are pretty safe there.
Once the Reaver’s shield is down, unleash your Power weapons on him.
To receive the loot, you still need to submit the completed bounty in your inventory.
Have you secured the loot this week?
The Silent Reaver is currently the third weekly bounty from Spider that drops powerful gear. You can find the previous ones here:
The latest update Y3S3.1 for Rainbow Six Siege introduces new penalties for team kills. What was intended as a well-meaning change, however, has not been well received by the community.
Ubisoft continues to try to mitigate the toxic atmosphere in the tactical shooter Rainbow Six Siege. A new change is now intended to address team kills. However, the community is up in arms. There are two factions against the change:
while some players already feel punished by the new regulation
others feel the change does not go far enough
Ban for Team Kills: Too harsh or not harsh enough?
What changes with update Y3S3.1? The latest patch for Rainbow Six introduces harsher penalties for team kills. Now killing team members results in a 30-minute ban, rigorously excluding the player from matchmaking, both from the casual playlist and from ranked and terrorist hunt.
Further violations lead to stricter bans, such as being excluded for one hour, two hours, 24 hours, or even for a whole week.
How was team killing handled before the update? Until patch Y3S3.1, a double team kill in any mode resulted in a kick to the main menu. In the ranked playlist, there was an additional 30-minute penalty for leaving the match.
Why has the penalty been increased? Ubisoft is still trying to improve and support Rainbow Six after more than two years. However, the community of the game is often perceived as particularly toxic. Recently, streamer Anne Munition showed the harassment she faces in the game.
How does the community react? Players are protesting against the patch. Some already feel punished by the introduction of the changes. There are reports of unintentional team kills due to friendly fire. This happens to experienced players.
Others argue that in certain situations it is part of tactical gameplay to eliminate your own team members. For example, if teammates are killed who are currently being interrogated by an enemy Caveira. If an enemy Caveira is interrogating downed team members, the location of the other teammates is revealed.
Other players find the changes good, but desire the introduction of a “Punish/Reward” feature. This would allow players to decide for themselves who should be punished for a team kill.
In contrast, other players argue that such a feature would only be abused. They complain that Ubisoft hardly responds to player feedback. For years, the community has provided good suggestions against team killing that would not require bans.
In FIFA 19, the TOTW 1 (Team of the Week 1) is known. You can find out which players receive the first informs of the new FUT season here.
September 19 not only brings the first Team of the Week in the Ultimate Team mode, but also marks the start of the Web App.
Once it’s online, you can already pull the Inform cards in packs from 7 PM. The TOTW 1 will then be available in packs for a week. The likelihood of pulling cards with a specific rating is even displayed in FUT 19.
The highlights at the start of the new TDW season are Chelsea’s Eden Hazard (92, LW), national striker Timo Werner (85, ST), and last year’s favorite Hirving Lozano (83, RW).
TOTW 1 – Ratings of the Player Cards in Ultimate Team
Starting XI:
GK: Yann Sommer 84
CB: Kalidou Koulibaly 88
CB: Álvaro 82
RB: João Cancelo 84
CAM: Dimitri Payet 86
CDM: Granit Xhaka 84
LW: Eden Hazard 92
RM: Andriy Yarmolenko 83
ST: Ángel 83
ST: Timo Werner 85
RW: Hirving Lozano 83
Substitutes:
GK: Thomas Strakosha 83
CB: Sidnei 82
LM: Ryan Fraser 81
RM: Nicolas Pépé 81
LM: Jérôme Gondorf 81
LM: Garry Rodrigues 82
ST: Bradley Wright-Phillips 81
New Card Design: In addition to the overall new card design, at least in the starting eleven of the Team of the Week, another detail has changed. The dynamic player images now extend beyond their original spot and intrude into other areas of the card. The players are presented transparently behind the stats.
What is the Team of the Week (TDW) in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team?
Every Wednesday, EA Sports reveals the Team of the Week in the “Ultimate Team” mode of their annual football simulation. This also applies to FIFA 19. The players who have excelled in real football over the past week are rewarded with special cards that have improved attributes.
You can pull the TOTW cards within a week from the packs that may contain rare (Gold) players. However, the chance of this is considered low.
In addition, you can purchase them on the transfer market if they are offered by other players. However, the prices are often extremely high. If you want to buy one of the new informs for your team, it’s advisable to purchase it at the beginning of the next week when they are cheaper.
Trading Tip: To start optimally into the new FUT season, it is also advisable to invest in the informs of the first week. A detailed explanation can be found in our guide for the perfect start in FIFA 19 Ultimate Team.

Blizzard grants all fans of Twinks in World of Warcraft a nice bonus. Island expeditions provide some experience points.
The island expeditions of World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth are not liked by all players. To provide a few more incentives for Twinks, a hotfix has now brought improvements.
What will be changed? With a hotfix, Blizzard aims to significantly increase the XP rewards at the end of the normal island expeditions. This will make visiting the islands a worthwhile endeavor to gather some experience points and quickly level up to level 120.
Due to the short duration of 10-15 minutes, an island expedition is also suitable when one has very little time and still wants to feel some progress.
No reputation bonuses: As long as your character has not yet reached level 120, it cannot work toward the weekly cap of 40,000 Azerite. Therefore, it cannot gain 2,500 artifact power and 1,500 reputation with the Warbound or the 7th Legion. This is only possible at max level.
Perfect for collectors: This will be especially rewarding for players who have many Twinks and want to collect toys and transmog gear at the same time. This way, they can combine leveling Twinks and farming for the numerous rewards. Just recently, Blizzard drastically increased the drop chance for rewards.
The hotfix has already been active in America since last night. It should be active here today (09/19/2018), but at the latest by tomorrow.
Will you use the island expeditions to level up some Twinks? Or is the mode too boring for you, and are you waiting for updates from Patch 8.1 “Tides of Vengeance”?

Meanwhile, the community is buzzing with rumors about the next expansion:
The first reactions to the new Iron Banner since the release of the Destiny 2 expansion Forsaken indicate: Power level plays a big role, and matchmaking is also a topic in the forums. Many “normal Guardians” feel like cannon fodder.
First Destiny 2 Iron Banner with Power Level advantages: Yesterday, on September 18, the first Iron Banner in Forsaken began. This brought some innovations, including the activation of Power Level advantages.
This means: Guardians who can show a higher Power Level have an advantage over players with a lower Power Level. They deal more damage to weaker Guardians and take less damage themselves.
How significant is the advantage for Guardians with high Power Level?
Even in the weeks leading up to the first Year 2 Iron Banner, Guardians wondered how strong the Power Level advantages would be. After all, all Guardians are allowed to participate in the PvP event, regardless of whether they own Destiny 2 expansions or not, thus independent of certain Power Level limits.
How significant is the Power Level advantage now? There are no official statements about the current Power Level advantages yet, but many Guardians describe the advantages as significant.
It is said that even with a Power Level difference of 40 points, a significantly lower damage output with significantly increased incoming damage can be observed, making one essentially hopeless.
No chance in the Iron Banner without Forsaken? What players say
On reddit, some users with Power Levels around 525 are also saying that the advantages are too severe. This is directly noticeable in the K/D, which is significantly lower. In 1v1 situations, there is hardly a chance if the opponent has higher Power Levels.
No chance for Guardians without Forsaken: Those entering the Iron Banner at Power Level 400 (the maximum before Forsaken) are likely to be mercilessly defeated by 500+ Guardians according to many users.
Anyone who has invested a lot of time since the launch of Forsaken and has also visited the Last Wish Raid should have it much easier in the Iron Banner.
When will there be concrete numbers? Exact numbers regarding the level advantages are expected to be published by Bungie in the next weekly blog post. This was tweeted by community manager dmg04. We will report on it.
Bungie and its promise: Before the Iron Banner, Bungie assured that Guardians without Forsaken could play in the Iron Banner, but would suffer disadvantages. How significant these disadvantages would be was unknown.
However, the first reactions now indicate that Forsaken is necessary to achieve something in the Iron Banner. Guardians are already advising other Guardians without Forsaken not to enter the Iron Banner at all.
The matchmaking in the Iron Banner
But not only the Power Level advantages are currently being discussed; the matchmaking is also irritating many Guardians.
Randoms against fireteams: Players are currently frequently reporting situations where individual Guardians have to compete against groups of up to six players in the Iron Banner. The full fireteam has the advantage of communication and coordination, which often leads to many players retreating early under the mercy rule.
Many players have long wished for separate matchmaking so that solo players can stay with each other and fireteams can compete against each other. Bungie has not yet commented on these discussions.
This is what sticks: Listening to the players in the forums, it seems that “normal Guardians” without a full team and a high Power Level currently feel like cannon fodder in the Iron Banner of Destiny 2. Without Forsaken, it seems particularly bad.
It seems that the battle royale shooter PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) is intended for a release on Sony’s PS4. This is now indicated by a rating for age restriction in South Korea.
What are the specific hints about PUBG PS4? According to the Korean Game Rating Board “GRAC”, there will indeed be a PS4 version of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. This has not yet been announced by the developers Bluehole.
The Korean Game Rating and Administration Committee classified PUBG for PS4 players “21 years old and over”. Reasons for this include a high level of violence, drug use, realistic weapons, and other typical features of PUBG.
Rating announces PS4 version
So far, there is PUBG for mobile devices with Android and iOS, PC, and Xbox. Thanks to the rating shared by the Twitter account Nibel, there are now initial concrete hints about a version for Sony’s PlayStation 4. The rating is quite fresh and dates from September 11, 2018.
PUBG, however, announced at E3 2017 the deal with Microsoft that PUBG would be “console exclusive” for Xbox One. Microsoft never specified how long PUBG would remain “console exclusive” on the Xbox One.
After that, Bluehole did not comment on a PS4 release for a year and a half, stating that they were focusing on Xbox One.
Good conditions for PS4 version: By now, PUBG has reached version 1.0 on Microsoft’s Xbox. Due to this progress and the elapsed time, it could be that PUBG is now ready for PS4.
After all, it’s been almost a year since the release of the Xbox version. And PlayerUnknown himself said that you “never know where the journey leads” and that they want to focus on the Xbox version 1.0 for now.
With another console version, fans are asking if they can play together.
No complete crossplay yet: PC players currently cannot play PUBG against Xbox players. Among smartphones, there is crossplay between Android and iOS.
Players would be pleased: If in PUBG, Xbox players could face off against PS4 friends, fans would definitely be happy.
This wish could come true, as Sony has already given hope for Fortnite that they want to solve the crossplay issue. However, there has been no official statement yet regarding crossplay between the potential PS4 version and Xbox One.
Actually, China had already prepared an alternative for PUBG fans on PS4.
The beta of Battlefield V was used by the developers to gather player feedback. This has now led to changes in visibility, vehicles, and TTK.
For the release of Battlefield 5, there should be better visibility of enemies and a fairer Time-to-Kill and Time-to-Death. Other aspects of the shooter will be adjusted by the developers at DICE based on the beta statistics.
The developers have now officially explained which topics are currently being prioritized.
Planned Changes after the BF5 Beta
There was criticism during the testing phase of Battlefield 5 that addressed some gameplay features. DICE has already stated that spawn protection will not be part of the finished Battlefield 5. They also want to adjust the amount of ammunition.
Time-to-Kill
Now they also want to work on the important feature of Time-to-Kill (abbreviated as TTK).
What is TTK? It is the time it takes to kill an enemy after you start shooting at them. Depending on the shooter, there are various features that influence TTK. This can be armor that gives players additional health points and more resistance.
They want to work on this time frame until the launch of Battlefield 5. Currently, they are fine-tuning the automatic weapons so that TTK and TTD (Time-to-Death) “are as fair and entertaining as possible.”
What was the problem? Some players complained about dying too quickly. They had hardly any chance to use bandages or similar items when they died so fast. Others were completely satisfied with the TTK. It is up to DICE to demonstrate sensitivity here and to establish a time frame that more players are satisfied with.
What are the filters for? The profanity filters in online games are designed to combat insults or other toxic behavior. Some words are not spelled out but displayed as asterisks (***) instead.
Fortnite: Battle Royale might be on the brink of an epic change at the end of Season 5. The purple space cube has destroyed a building for the first time. And now it is by the shore of Loot Lake.
What’s up with the cube? Since August 24th, a massive purple cube has been rolling through the Fortnite world. The cube appeared out of nowhere and almost cost professional streamer Ninja his game.
The cube has been friendly so far:Remarkably, the cube has been doing no harm. It only retaliated with energy discharges when attacked. In return, it regenerated shields when approached.
Whenever the cube approached a settlement, it took a detour and spared the buildings.
Therefore, the cube has been affectionately nicknamed “Kevin” by the Reddit community and referred to as a “gentle giant” who means no harm.
Until now.
Cube devastates Tilted Towers
The cube shows its true colors! By now, hardly anyone should believe in the cube’s good intentions. Because the cube revealed its true nature during a visit to the controversial city of Tilted Towers.
Oh no, not the boutique! Without any need and with pure intent, it simply tipped over a building and destroyed it halfway. But it wasn’t just any shack or wooden hut that had to pay the price.
Specifically, the brand new boutique, which had just emerged from a huge construction site, was devastated by the space cube. Now only half of the building remains after the space cube treated the boutique like Godzilla treats Tokyo.
Is the season finale coming soon?
Where is the cube now? The cube has now passed Tilted Towers without causing further damage and is ominously standing at the shore of Loot Lake, the central but somewhat boring spot in Fortnite.
Finale of Season 5 today? We will see if the cube performs one last tip today and drastically changes the Fortnite world throughout the day. After all, Season 5 only has a few days left and ends on September 24, 2018. It is indeed high time for the finale.
Update 11:30 PM: The cube has indeed tipped into Loot Lake.
Blizzard listens to the pleas of players from World of Warcraft and breaks down many reputation barriers. We reveal what exactly is happening.
In the past few weeks, there has been a discussion that has repeatedly sparked in the forums of World of Warcraft and on Reddit. Reputation in World of Warcraft can be tedious, as it is bound to a single character.
This makes it difficult for players to start a new character that has to start from scratch. Many reputation restrictions will be lifted in Patch 8.1 “Tides of Vengeance”.
Freedom for transmog fans: For all those who want a cool transmogification for their twinks, there is good news. Items that usually have a reputation requirement, such as cloaks or armor from the individual reputation vendors, can be used for transmogification by twinks in Patch 8.1 as well.
You have unlocked the cloak of the Hochberg tribe, but your twink hasn’t earned the reputation yet? No problem: You can still use it for transmogification.
Reputation achievements will be account-wide: A second relief is available for all players working towards the major achievements that require 80, 90, or even 100 reputation factions to be exalted. This progress will now be account-wide.
An example: If character A has 10 factions exalted, while character B has 20 other factions exalted, then you have a total of 30 factions exalted.
No “double” factions: However, “mirror” factions do not count as double. These are reputation factions that have a counterpart in both Horde and Alliance. For example, “The Eidgebunden” (Horde) and “The 7th Legion” (Alliance) would be considered the same faction for the achievement.
Twink bonus for Champions of Azeroth: It gets really good for twink fans who want to quickly raise their Heart of Azeroth to a high level. If one of your characters has already earned exalted reputation with the Champions of Azeroth, all second characters can go to Magni immediately and receive the “+15 item level” upgrade, even though they do not yet have the reputation themselves.
What do you think of these changes? Are you satisfied with it and is it a good solution? Or should reputation really apply to all characters so that rewards can be purchased directly?
New Iron Banner Weapons: The Iron Banner innovations also include six fresh weapons. You will receive them by
completing Iron Banner matches. With some luck, you will receive an Iron Banner weapon as a completion reward
mastering the 7 weekly bounties. Each grants you a random Iron Banner reward
collecting enough Iron Banner tokens to receive an Iron Engram
completing the weekly bounties for Powerful Loot. This way, you can buy the scout rifle and the grenade launcher directly from Lord Saladin with fixed perks. They cost 10 Legendary Shards and 10 Iron Banner tokens each.
All six Iron Banner weapons may be included in sources of random Iron Banner loot.

A user named Mercules904 has now spoken up on reddit. He is regarded as a weapon expert in the community, having previously revealed interesting stats of the weapons and shared his opinions on the best perks. He has now also done this with the new Iron Banner weapons. We present his findings – where he emphasizes that the recommended perks are not universally applicable.
Note: All Time-to-Kill statistics refer to Guardians with 192 health points (that corresponds to 6 resilience). The TTK is the time required, under optimal conditions, to eliminate an opposing Guardian with full health.
Adlerkrallen – Scout Rifle from the Iron Banner
This is Adlerkrallen: Adlerkrallen is a scout rifle for the kinetic slot. It belongs to the archetype with high impact. Here are the stats:
The TTK is 0.8 seconds, requiring three headshots. With 6 body shots, Adlerkrallen kills in 2 seconds.
Strengths and Weaknesses:
The optimal TTK is excellent, the range is above average compared to other scout rifles
The stability is below average, as is the reload speed, handling, and magazine size. Aim assist is very low.
Recommended Perks:
Polygonal Rifling – increased stability
High-Caliber Rounds – shots stagger opponents, slightly increased range
outlaw – precision kills reduce reload time
Explosive Payload (projectiles create an explosion on impact) or Rampage (kills with the weapon briefly increase damage, stackable 3x)
Is Adlerkrallen worth it? Even though the stats do not make a good impression overall, Adlerkrallen is one of the best scout rifles with high impact. It is one of the few weapons of this archetype that can shoot with explosive payload. While this is not as strong as it once was, it is still good at dealing damage to multiple opponents simultaneously.
Adlerkrallen is a good option in both PvE and PvP with these perks.
The scout rifle with fixed perks from Lord Saladin has:
Currently, the “Sunset” event is taking place in the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online. During this event, it is possible to acquire a villa – if you work together.
Are you in The Elder Scrolls Online looking for a new home? And a nice mount would be fun too? Then join forces with other players and cooperatively complete the “Sunset” event.
Community event grants you a villa
When does the event take place? From Thursday, September 20th at 5 PM to Friday, September 28th at 4 PM, you can participate in this event in the MMORPG.
This is what you need to do: It is a cooperative event in which you must achieve the achievement “Pathfinder of Summerset.” This requires several steps:
You must visit ten “landmarks” on Summerset and in the mystical island headquarters of the Psijic Order (see maps below)
There, you need to obtain three unique collectibles
Only if the community works together will you receive the rewards
If you have already obtained the achievement “Pathfinder of Summerset,” it still counts towards the event
Fortnite: Battle Royale (PC, PS4, Xbox One, Android, Switch, iOS) has made headlines again. In the USA, a man became so upset over a defeat in the game that he threatened an 11-year-old child with murder. This has serious consequences.
What happened? Michael Aliperti is a 45-year-old man who enjoys playing Fortnite. Among his known teammates on Xbox One was also an 11-year-old boy who lives in the same area (Long Island).
Murder threats via Xbox chat: After a match in Fortnite, Aliperti apparently got thoroughly beaten by the boy. This upset the 45-year-old so much that he started threatening the child severely afterward. He used Xbox voice chat and text messages on his smartphone to send the boy death threats.
In these, the man threatened among other things to shoot the child, harm his family, and even mentioned the boy’s school.
The police intervene
What happened then? The family of the threatened child, however, caught wind of the situation and immediately called the police. Therefore, Aliperti was soon visited at his home by the police at 1:30 AM local time on September 18, 2018, and taken into custody.
Defendant cites divorce as justification: Aliperti has been charged with aggravated harassment. He pleaded “not guilty” and stated through his lawyer that he is going through a tough time. He is actually in the middle of a divorce. The lawyer further stated that rude language in online games is just part of it.
Child placed under protection: The 11-year-old victim, on the other hand, was precautionarily placed under police protection, and heightened alertness is in effect at the boy’s school. After all, shootings in the USA – most recently during a mass shooting at a Madden eSports tournament – are not uncommon. On October 4, 2018, the case is set to continue.
Fortnite is a great fun for many children, but it can also cause problems. Here is what concerned parents can do to better deal with their children’s favorite game:
In Destiny 2 there are now Masterworks. How to get Masterwork weapons and Masterwork cores and what makes these weapons unique is explained here.
On December 12, 2017, Bungie introduced Masterwork weapons. These are better legendary weapons that are supposed to make the loot in the endgame more exciting. In Year 2, Bungie changed the weapon system and also revamped how Masterwork weapons function.
How Masterworks work in Destiny 2 Forsaken:
Each weapon has 10 Masterwork levels. This means there is up to +10% on a random stat, and for hand cannons, range is now also possible. At level 10, you receive the complete Masterwork.
Upgrades cost Masterwork cores, Glimmer, and Legendary shards. To reach level 10, you need a total of 10,000 Glimmer, 27 Legendary shards, and 17 Masterwork cores.
At level 7, you get a kill counter, which allows you to switch freely between PvP and PvE at any time.

Locations of Masterwork Weapons – Here’s how to get them
To obtain Masterwork weapons directly, you need one thing above all: luck. You can get them from all sources from which you also receive normal legendary weapons. However, the chances that the legendary drop is a Masterwork are quite low.
You can reliably obtain Masterworks by upgrading legendary weapons level by level. The most challenging aspect is obtaining the necessary Masterwork cores.
This is how you obtain Masterwork cores in Forsaken:
You can buy Masterwork cores from Spider – the new NPC in the Tangled Shore. The first core costs you 10 legendary shards. Note that the price of each subsequent core doubles after the first purchase. However, the price resets every day at 7 PM. It is advisable to acquire one to two Masterwork cores from Spider daily.
You receive Masterwork cores by dismantling legendary Masterwork weapons or armor.
Masterwork armor from Year 1 always gives you one core when dismantled. Year 1 Masterwork weapons grant you one to two cores when dismantled.
After reaching character level 50, obtaining Masterwork cores in Forsaken becomes somewhat easier. When dismantling high-level legendary Year 2 items that already have some Masterwork levels, there is a chance for Masterwork cores – even if the respective items are not yet fully upgraded to Masterwork (level 10). According to player reports, the chance for cores increases with the Masterwork level of the item.
If you use the consumable “Finest Material Weave”, there is a chance that a Masterwork core drops upon defeating a boss. However, the buff lasts only until the drop. You receive the rare item randomly when dismantling legendary gear.
Buying expensive packs and then only pulling useless cards: This has led to a lot of frustration in Ultimate Team in the past. In FIFA 19, you can now preview, to some extent, what’s in the packs.
Probabilities revealed: Of course, the packs still don’t specifically show you whether one of the 100 best players in the game is included in the set you’re about to buy. But you can view probabilities that give you an indication of what you will pull.
Items with percentage values: The probability of a pack containing players of certain rating categories is displayed in percentages. It shows the minimum chance of an item from the displayed category being included in the pack.
This means: If the probability of a “Gold Player 75+” is at 100%, you will definitely receive a player of at least that category.
In the top official graphic from EA, you can see the chances of top players from a premium gold pack (which costs 7500 coins):
Gold players rated 75 or higher – 100%
Gold players rated 82 or higher – 20%
Gold players rated 84 or higher – 4.5%
The chances of receiving top players rated above 84 are already quite low.
Lower percentage values do not guarantee a top player
How are the numbers calculated? The percentages are calculated by EA Sports based on simulations of massive pack openings. With each update, the numbers are refreshed. A gold pack may have different probabilities at the release of the game than a gold pack four weeks later. A timestamp will always indicate when the last figures were drawn.
Pack openings based on coin toss principle: It’s important to note that the pack openings are not interconnected. Just because you have a 20% chance of a “Gold Player 82+”, it doesn’t mean you will pull one in every fifth pack.
The system is more comparable to a coin toss. While there is a 50% chance of tossing heads, the coin does not guarantee to land on that side every second toss. So be careful when you buy large quantities of packs. You can certainly also try out the new FUT feature in the new web app.
The new chapter of Dead by Daylight is now live on PC. “The Spirit” is here and scares players endlessly.
Yesterday evening (September 18, 2018), the new patch for Dead by Daylight went live. Update 2.2.0 brought the chapter titled “Shattered Bloodlines” and with it the new killer “The Spirit” and the survivor Adam Smith.
What is “The Spirit”? The new killer is actually a young adult woman who was dismembered by her father with a katana. Her body is grotesquely disfigured, with her limbs floating around, and her extremities often cramp up. She is probably the scariest killer that Dead by Daylight has had so far.
As a skill, she can turn invisible and then quickly move across the map. However, she cannot see survivors, so she must rely on sound and scratch marks. She can become visible from invisibility immediately and attack without delay.
The Perks of The Spirit in Dead by Daylight
The killer comes with three unique perks as usual:
Hex: Haunted Ground: Two active totems appear on the map. If one of the two totems is cleansed, all survivors are afflicted with the “Exposed” effect for 40 / 50 / 60 seconds, allowing them to be downed in one hit. The other totem immediately becomes an inactive totem.
Rancor: One survivor becomes the killer’s obsession. Every time a generator is fully repaired, the obsession sees the killer for 5 / 4 / 3 seconds. Every time a generator is fully repaired, the killer sees all survivors for 3 seconds. Once all generators have been repaired, the obsession receives the “Exposed” status effect (can be downed in one hit) and can be killed by the killer (Memento Mori effect).
Spirit Fury: Each destroyed pallet increases the power of the Entity. After 4 / 3 / 2 pallets have been broken by the killer, the next pallet that stuns the killer will be immediately destroyed by the Entity. The killer will still be stunned.

The new survivor is Adam Smith. He also comes with three unique perks.
Diversion: The perk activates when the survivor stands in the killer’s terror radius for 45 seconds and is not in a chase. Once the perk is fully active, the survivor can throw a stone to a location within 10 / 15 / 20 meters. The stone creates a loud noise that is indicated to the killer. After that, the perk becomes inactive and must be recharged.
Deliverance: After the survivor safely rescues another survivor from the hook (i.e., they haven’t been downed again within 20 seconds), the perk becomes active. The survivor now has a 100% chance to free themselves from the hook the next time they are hooked. However, this triggers the “Broken” effect for 100 / 80 / 60 seconds, preventing the survivor from being fully healed.
Autodidact: The survivor starts with a penalty of -20% on progress for a successful skill check when healing other survivors. Each successful skill check grants a token, up to a maximum of 3 / 4 / 5 tokens. Each token grants a 20% bonus on progress for a successful skill check when the survivor heals other players. Great skill checks are not possible with this perk.
How much does the chapter cost? Those who wish can purchase “Shattered Bloodlines” for 7 euros in the Steam store and receive The Spirit and Adam Smith directly. Alternatively, both characters can also be unlocked using in-game currency. Each character costs 9,000 Bloodpoints.
Cortyn says: After my first matches, I can already say that “The Spirit” is a killer that is really fun to play. With her, “Mind Games” are possible on a whole different level, often tricking yourself as well. There’s nothing better than appearing invisibly behind a survivor and dragging them away from the generator. I suspect I’ve found my new “Main” here.

The MMORPG Chronicles of Elyria has not yet been released, but fans are already having fun in a community event.
That you do not necessarily need the game itself to have fun in Chronicles of Elyria has been proven by the community event “Searing Plague”. In this browser game, it was possible to shape the world.
An Event Without MMORPG
How was it played? All fans of Chronicles of Elyria were able to participate. Those who had already supported the game with a founder package were “pure,” while the others were afflicted by a plague.
Players could now create seals of purity or plague by creating links and sending them to others. In the end, the site that generated the most seals should win. The “pure” players won. This means that all participants in the event received a resistance to the plague for one of their characters in the game. This resistance can also be inherited by offspring. Additionally, there were some in-game items.
The Event was well received: Players were excited to be able to participate in this community event. Although, of course, buying a founder package and the call to engage in the game and in the in-game shop played a significant role.
For many, Chronicles of Elyria is also one of the big hopes for the MMO genre despite the somewhat sluggish development process, alongside Ashes of Creation. And finally being able to be somehow involved in the game – even if it’s just through a browser event – motivates the players.
Therefore, many also participated in this event:
Highest number of purity seals carried by a single player in their inventory: More than 4,000
New forum users during the event: 6,920
New Discord registrations during the event: 1,902
Number of trade links: 520,270
Number of players cured from the plague who received a founder package: 3,161
