The next patch of World of Warcraft is coming soon to the PTR. In a few days, it will be revealed what the first content patch will be about.
Many players have already completed the current content of World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth. While there are still tougher challenges with the Mythic raid or “Mythic+” dungeons, most of the content is already finished in its basic form. The hunger for new content is growing again – and Blizzard already has an answer.
The next patch is coming soon: Last night (September 14, 2018), Game Director Ion Hazzikostas hosted an “Ask Me Anything” on Reddit and answered some questions from the community. He announced that the next patch is already on the starting blocks.
When will there be new information? On September 18 (6 PM our time), World of Warcraft will hold a livestream on Twitch and discuss the content that will be included in the upcoming update. It is likely that this will be Patch 8.1.
PTR follows soon: A short time after the stream, the PTR for the next patch is expected to be deployed to the test servers. With an average testing period of 4-6 weeks, players may be able to play the first major content update for World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth as early as the beginning of November.
So far, everything is unknown: Regarding the content of Patch 8.1, the player community is still completely in the dark. While there are some speculations that the plot around the Naga is picking up speed and Azshara (had her own cinematic here) will show more presence, this is not yet confirmed. In Legion, it was already known what the first patch would contain because the Night Fortress, the second major raid, was playable during the beta.
Are you looking forward to new information and Patch 8.1? Or are you still busy with the starting content of the expansion and don’t need any additional updates for now?

Even though the “Battle Royale” mode of Fortnite is only a year old, there is a constant ebb and flow of weapons and equipment. Here is a selection of all the items that Epic has removed from the game, some of which are sorely missed.
People often tend to curse Epic for constantly adding new items, weapons, and other aids to Fortnite. After all, you only have five inventory slots available, which makes the choice relatively difficult.
It is often forgotten that there was a colorful mix of items that are no longer in the game, some of which are sorely missed.
Epic calls this “Vaulting”; an item is removed from Fortnite to be thoroughly revised, so it can make a glorious comeback. In the meantime, the item rests in the “Vault.”
We take a look back at all the toys that Epic gave us only to painfully snatch them away again.
The Zapotron – Buried on September 29, 2017
What exactly is the Zapotron? Most of you probably don’t know, but the Zapotron was actually in the game at the launch of Fortnite: Battle Royale, but was removed quite quickly.
Here’s what the Zapotron could do: Anyone taking a closer look at the features of the energy rifle might get an idea of why this weapon is no longer in the game. The Zapotron could be fired normally like an assault rifle or charge up to fire a massive energy ball that could even penetrate several enemies at once.

Here’s why the Zapotron disappeared: Unsurprisingly, Epic removed the Zapotron for “balance reasons.” Since then, there have been recurring rumors in the community about whether the weapon might make a triumphant comeback someday.
Is the Zapotron missed? Too few players got to enjoy the weapon. Most probably won’t even remember it.
The Submachine Gun – Buried on February 12, 2018
Here’s what the Submachine Gun could do: The standard SMG could fire quickly but was only effective at short distances, as the damage drop-off was quite noticeable. Additionally, the weapon dealt less damage compared to other SMGs.
Here’s why the Submachine Gun disappeared: At one time, three different variants of the submachine gun were bustling around in Fortnite: Battle Royale:
The Standard Submachine Gun
The Silenced Variant
The Tactical SMG
The Tactical Submachine Gun was considered a valid close-range option despite the popular double pump tactic. While the silenced SMG at least still offered the advantage of being quiet when firing, nobody knew what to do with the Standard SMG.
The new, old Submachine Gun
The weapon was so unpopular that players often turned away in disgust and opted for the nearby white pistol instead.
Now the Submachine Gun is a beast: It returned in an altered form. With a new look and significantly more damage, the currently available variant shares only its name with the one from back then.
The weapon is now so good that it has taken away the spotlight from another contender. More on that later.
The Smoke Grenade – Buried on April 11, 2018
Here’s what the Smoke Grenade could do: The smoke grenade created a thick smoke through which players could not be seen. This circumstance could be used to escape a fight or to flank opponents. At least in theory.
Here’s why the Smoke Grenade disappeared: Although the smoke grenade was once regarded as THE means to elegantly avoid a fight, that expectation did not last long. If there was ever an item in Fortnite that was considered “okay,” it would be the smoke grenade.
The problem: There are simply too many better options for the limited inventory slots than the smoke grenade. Why escape a fight when you can just mow down the opponent?
Is the Smoke Grenade missed? Even though the grenade may have been helpful in certain situations, probably only very few players will miss it.
The Crossbow – Buried on May 01, 2018
Here’s what the Crossbow could do: The crossbow was introduced as a ranged weapon that looked particularly good on paper:
The scope could be used to zoom
The weapon shot nearly silently
Crossbow ammunition was infinitely available
Here’s why the Crossbow disappeared: Although the crossbow is still an extremely cool concept weapon, players wanted more: A critical hit did not automatically lead to the enemy’s demise, for that, a bolt-action sniper rifle was needed.
With the hunting rifle, the semi-automatic sniper rifle, and the bolt-action sniper rifle being tough competitors for supremacy among the best long-range weapons, the crossbow ultimately had to give way. However, it is not out of the question that it will return.
Is the Crossbow missed? Even though there aren’t many, the weapon has its fans. If you are out there, I feel for you!
The Tactical Submachine Gun – Buried on June 27, 2018
Here’s what the Tactical Submachine Gun could do: While the first Submachine Gun was removed from the game, the Tactical Submachine Gun experienced its first heyday. A large magazine and high damage made the weapon one of the most popular options for close combat.
However, the weapon only became really exciting when Epic curtailed the double pump tactic. Because then a valid option disappeared. People had to resort to the Tactical SMG.
Here’s why the Tactical Submachine Gun disappeared: This brief period of fame can’t be taken away from the Tactical SMG, but it then encountered a problem: The Standard Submachine Gun was reworked and brought back into the game, while the silenced variant was buffed.
Suddenly, nobody wanted to play with the Tactical Submachine Gun anymore; it gathered dust in the basements of Tilted Towers. Epic removed the weapon in June – comeback uncertain.
Is the Tactical Submachine Gun missed? No, it has received a very solid alternative with the Standard SMG.
The Revolver – Buried on September 06, 2018
Here’s what the Revolver could do: If you got a revolver in your hands right after landing and were a good shot, you could clear out quite a few opponents. Critical hits could send unshielded enemies back to the lobby with a single shot.
Here’s why the Revolver disappeared: From the second minute of the game, you’d just be annoyed by the revolvers. Epic wanted to replace them with the rarer hand cannon, but that also worked only to a limited extent. In September 2018, the revolver was removed from the game. Its future is uncertain. The rarer hand cannons remain in the game.
Is the Revolver missed? No, just no.
The Drum Gun – Buried on September 11, 2018
Here’s what the Drum Gun could do: Aside from the nerf of the double pump, probably no weapon change was discussed as controversially as the removal of the Drum Gun. The weapon was extremely popular for many reasons:
It could be used at both medium and close distances
It had a huge magazine of 50 rounds
It could be easily found
and it could deal significant damage
Here’s why the Drum Gun disappeared: The reason for its removal is probably similar to the Zapotron in terms of balance. The Tommy Gun was too much of an all-round weapon, not a specific weapon for certain situations.
Is the Drum Gun missed? Epic only removed the weapon on September 11, and many players are already missing it. This is evidenced by the many sometimes heated discussions in the community. The fate of the “Tommy Gun” is uncertain.
However, it is not out of the question that Epic might bring the fan-favorite back in a changed form.
Here’s what the Electric Traps could do: The electric traps will probably only be familiar to veterans. With these, you could set a nasty trap for the enemy on walls or ceilings, depending on the trap type.
Here’s why the Electric Traps disappeared: Due to a significant disadvantage: They were very audible and therefore could only lure in a few victims. Epic removed the traps shortly after the release of the Battle Royale mode. Since then, it has been quiet.
Are the Electric Traps missed? Those who remember the noise these traps made will probably not shed a tear for them. However, the game could benefit from a bit more variety in traps.
One thing is for sure: Epic will continue to mix up the available items and weapons in the game in the future. Who knows who will be the next?
Which of the weapons presented here do you miss the most?
Currently, things are pretty quiet regarding Overwatch, perhaps even a bit boring. What could bring new momentum? Our author Benedict thinks: a movie.
Is Overwatch in a quiet phase? The hero shooter Overwatch feels, at the moment, as if it has lost some momentum:
Is this just the necessary calm after a demanding eSports event?
Or is the game on its way to retirement?
How has the trend for Overwatch developed?
Trend shows decline: The worldwide search interest on Google for Overwatch seems to confirm this declining trend:
In May 2016, the launch – here the interest is of course the highest (100%)
For about a year, until May 2017, the values oscillate between 25% and 40% – that is very strong. We wrote in June 2017 about the “Duracell bunny” Overwatch, which never got tired.
This is why there is so little going on in Overwatch: In July, the first season of the Overwatch League ended, marking the largest eSports event in Overwatch so far. Blizzard apparently invested many resources into the event.
The league is on break – is Overwatch too? After the final matches, the Overwatch League is now in the “off-season”. Here teams can train or restructure themselves. New teams are also joining the league.
Since the end of the Overwatch League, however, everything around the game feels quite bland. Not much is happening, except for what Blizzard sporadically adds to the game:
and the 12th season of ranked play has recently been released.
Perhaps Wrecking Ball came a bit too early. The excitement around a new hero would certainly have jolted Overwatch and shown that the game is still alive.
The World Championship is starting to fade: Right after the league, the first matches for the Overwatch World Cup have begun, the World Championship of Overwatch. Here, country teams from around the world compete against each other.
Especially in Germany, however, this has gone unnoticed. There is no German cast and also little information about the World Cup, even though the finals will already take place at Blizzcon in November.
The Overwatch League was a major topic. The World Cup less.
Is Overwatch now in retirement phase at Humble-Bundle?
Overwatch for a good ten bucks: In addition, Overwatch will already be the main game in the next monthly Humble Bundle. For $12, anyone can purchase the bundle and play Overwatch.
The Humble Bundle often features indie games or games that are meant to find a market again after a long time. For little money, there are good but often just “old” titles here, even if there have been newer games to grab lately.
In fact, Overwatch, with its 2 years, is not yet old enough to have to be “humble” (meaning modest). Although the Humble Bundle donates the profits to good causes, this step feels a bit like the first step into retirement.
What does Overwatch need right now?
More excitement: Since the release of Overwatch, Blizzard has repeatedly generated excitement in the community. With AR games like around the heroine Sombra, the community was kept busy for several weeks.
Even “Papa Jeff”, Jeff Kaplan, made sure that Overwatch always stayed in mind with his public appearances. He himself has become a meme – top-notch publicity.
Since the Overwatch League, such actions have been lacking. The focus seems to have been solely on eSports the whole time.
Jeff Kaplan from the Overwatch team
More story: Overwatch has an extensive story that is hardly told in the game and outside of it. The creation of Overwatch, the crises, and the events that led to the current state would make wonderful stories.
The characters are all more than just arsenals with different weapons that one can choose from in the game. They have depth and profile, from which more could be drawn.
A movie: From the stories that are told in the comics and the cinematics alone, a whole movie could already be made. With the story of Overwatch itself, that would create a large, coherent work – maybe even a series.
More comics, a proper movie or a series or other media would provide a good basis in Overwatch. And they would certainly be successful.
The community constantly wishes for more stories, series, or movies. They just need to come.
Is a shift towards “more story” already becoming apparent?
More lore could come: There are indeed signs that Blizzard wants to do a bit more for the story of Overwatch in the near future. Michael Chu, the lead story writer, wrote in the forums that gameplay changes sometimes occur in the lore.
Whenever the opportunity arises and fits, such changes would also be incorporated into stories. Something like the relationship between Bastion and Torbjörn in a comic is a good example of what Chu could implement in the future.
The recently released cinematic of D.Va, which tells her story, gives many fans hope for more. Now, during the league break and around Blizzcon would be the right time for teasers and new content to wake Overwatch up.
Overwatch as a proper brand: Overwatch could also slowly evolve from a pure game into a brand, similar to how Blizzard’s World of Warcraft has managed. There are already signs of this:
New games could then develop around Overwatch, comparable to Hearthstone for Warcraft, or movies, series, books, and comics could emerge. The signs for that are good. We might learn something at Blizzcon.
When is the release of the FIFA 19 Web App? When does Early Access start and what features and rewards can fans expect? All the information about the Ultimate Team app for FUT 19 is available here.
FUT 19 everywhere: With the Web App on PC and the Companion App for iOS and Android, you can manage your Ultimate Team no matter where you are. These apps allow you to fulfill manager tasks in FUT 19 even when you are not at the console.
For many fans, the Web App and Companion App are part of the FUT experience – additionally, you can secure rewards through the apps.
Before the launch of FIFA 19, the Web App and Companion App will be made compatible with “FUT 19” by EA Sports. You can read all the information about this below.
Update 15.9.: The Web App for FIFA 18 has now been disabled. Preparations for FIFA 19 are underway.
When does the Ultimate Team Web App for FIFA 19 start? – Release date, time
When is the Web App’s release? EA Sports has now confirmed that the Web App will start on September 19, 2018, with Early Access. That’s the Wednesday one week before the release of FIFA 19.
When is the release of the Companion App? The Companion App is basically the Web App for smartphones. In recent years, it has always been available a day after the Web App’s release. For FUT 19, it should go live on September 20.
At what time do the apps start? Expected around 7 PM. In recent years, the apps have been updated and ready for use shortly after 7 PM.
Note: These release dates refer to Early Access!
How do I get Early Access to the Web App for FIFA 19? – Rewards for Veterans
Veteran Bonus: Only FUT-18 players who wish to return in FUT 19 will receive early access. This means they can create their FUT-19 club, open their first packs and manage their club a bit before anyone else, starting on September 19.
These are the requirements for Early Access:
You must have created a FUT club in FIFA 18 before August 1.
This FUT-18 club must be valid until the launch of the FUT 19 Web App.
Additionally, your account must have a “good reputation.” This means that if you have been banned or have otherwise behaved negatively, you may not receive Early Access.
When does it start for players without Early Access? If you are not a FUT-18 veteran, you will only gain access to the Web App when you log into FIFA 19, create your club in FUT 19, and answer a security question there. Then you’ll have to wait until the release of FIFA 19 on September 28, or on September 25 with early access.
What rewards do returning FUT players receive in the Web App?
The veteran rewards depend on several factors, such as how you have behaved in FUT 18. How diligent were you, what is your game history, what reputation does your club have? Therefore, the rewards may vary.
There will likely be “Welcome Back” sets.
Additionally, you will receive daily gifts when you log into the app at least once a day. The gifts usually last until October.
There will also be starter packs that allow you to build a team in advance.
In Destiny 2, the 3rd Seed of Light has been discovered. Apparently, to obtain it, you must enter the new raid “Last Wish”.
That’s why everyone wants the 3rd Seed of Light: The Seed of Light is a rare item that allows you to unlock a new subclass path along with a new super. Each Guardian class has received three new supers with Forsaken, meaning you need a total of three Seeds of Light per character to activate all new abilities of your Guardian.
Receiving the 3rd Seed of Light: According to numerous user reports and evidence videos, the 3rd Seed of Light drops after the first boss encounter.
Whether this drop is guaranteed has not yet been definitely clarified; in any case, the drop rate is extremely high. In this video by Datto, it is shown at the bottom left that five out of six Guardians received the Seed of Light.
First secured source: The first raid boss is now the only known source that reliably drops the 3rd Seed of Light with high probability.
What do the Guardians say about this? When the seed was found, it immediately became a top topic on Reddit:
Many users are astonished that Bungie now wants to force them into the raid to obtain all abilities.
Currently, 11.6% of players on PS4 have completed a raid in Destiny 2. Many Guardians therefore emphasize that a large part of the player base will never receive their third super.
It is an extremely strange decision by Bungie to tie the 3rd Seed to the raid, with “strange” being the most decent adjective. Even in the comments under our raid article, a user states that he finds it “terrible”.
Additionally, there are concerns that many players will leave a raid fireteam as soon as they obtain the seed, especially when playing with randoms.
However, some users also express that they appreciate the effort required for the 3rd super.
Others counter that this will not drive people to the raid. Instead, they will be annoyed and turn their backs on Destiny 2.
Is the raid really the only source for the 3rd Seed?
Rumors about other sources: There are rumors that the 3rd Seed can also be obtained in other ways, such as through Queen’s Bounties or Stage 3 in the Blind Well.
However, there is still a lack of solid evidence or images. The raid is currently the only secured and reliable source for the 3rd Seed.
More locations may come in the future: However, some Guardians hope that Bungie has not introduced a raid requirement after all. Bungie confirmed that with the raid launch, not all secrets and challenges of the Dreaming City have been discovered yet. Therefore, the Blind Well will have even more to offer in the future.
It is possible that there will be additional ways to obtain the 3rd Seed besides the raid. However, this is not confirmed. The future will tell.
If you have obtained the 3rd Seed through other means, please share this in the comments – preferably with proof.
Currently, on September 15th at 9 AM, the raid is still not mastered. The best fireteams have been struggling with the final boss for hours. This is certainly also due to the enemy power level being at 580 …
In The Division today, on September 15th, is the big vendor reset. We present to you the items from the vendors that are particularly worthwhile.
Currently, it is quite calm around The Division. This week, there wasn’t even the server maintenance that usually takes place every Thursday. Until the next global event at the end of September, it will likely remain quiet.
If you’re still out and about in NYC, take a look at the new offers from the vendors, which change every week on Friday night to Saturday. These are the best items.
Recommended Weapons since September 15th
Vendor for advanced weapons: M4 – Lightweight Version with Brutal, Responsive and Dominant. Nothing really special and has rather a low damage roll, but can be useful for players who don’t have one yet. Instead of Dominant, you should take Destructive.
Kerman Station: SRS A1 with Prepared, Cool-Headed and Opportunistic. Although slightly weaker than the M44 or M700, it is still a good precision rifle. Depending on the set, you can either replace Cool-Headed or Opportunistic with other talents such as Increased or Destructive.
DZ03: M249 B with Destructive, Malevolent and Opportunistic. A good LMG for PvE with average damage roll. Instead of Malevolent, you should take Careful or Precise.
The Mods after the Vendor Reset
E 53rd St: Performance Mod with Impulse Crit Chance (+2%)
DZ E 31st St: Electronics Mod (263) with Skill Power (2861)
5th Ave: Performance Mod with Impulse Crit Damage (+2%)
E 64th St: Performance Mod with First Aid Self-Heal (+6%)
The Cavern: Stamina Mod (259) with Hit Points (2989)
Special Equipment Vendor: Stamina Mod (267) with Skill Power (3177)
W 46th St: Ti-RANT Suppressor with Crit Chance (+7.5%), Headshot Damage, Stability and Reduced Threat
Special Equipment Vendor: SR-7 Suppressor with Crit Damage (+19%), Headshot Damage, Stability and Reduced Threat
Camp Clinton: Extended Magazine (+119%) with Crit Damage and Fire Rate
Camp Clinton: VX-1 Scope (12x) with Headshot Damage, Optimal Range and Crit Damage
The Offer of the Special Blueprint Vendors
The vendor in the Terminal brings blueprints of these items:
The players’ pleas have been heard. The rewards from the island expeditions in World of Warcraft are finally being improved. We will tell you how exactly.
Since the release of World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth, players have complained that the island expeditions are not worth it. The advertised rewards in the form of toys, pets, mounts, or transmog weapons are far too rare. But that is set to change soon.
What will change? Blizzard aims to “substantially” increase the drop rate for special items at the end of an island expedition. How high that chance will be is still uncertain. In plain language, this means that at the end of an expedition, you should significantly more often receive the following items:
Quest starters
Pets
Mounts
Toys
Transmog items
When is the change coming? The respective hotfix is expected to go live today in America. This means that it will probably be activated here later today (September 15, 2018) in the evening hours.
Why is Blizzard changing this? Blizzard is changing the drop behavior at the end of the expeditions because many players have complained. There are numerous characters that have completed 50 or more expeditions and have not seen any of the special items at all. This should change drastically with the hotfix.
Cortyn says: I personally welcome the changes as I always enjoy collecting items and completing my pet collection. However, I do not believe that the “mass” of players will be satisfied with this. Because aside from a solid amount of artifact power, island expeditions still do not have a true gameplay benefit.
Are you now checking in on the island expeditions more often? Or do these cosmetic rewards not entice you at all? Would it need more than a higher drop rate for the expeditions to be interesting?

Currently, the World-First attempt in the raid “Last Wish” at Destiny 2 is ongoing. A fireteam has spectacularly eliminated the first boss, Kalli the Corrupted.
Raid not yet cleared: In these hours, countless Guardians, who already have a high Power Level, are attempting the raid “Last Wish”. It started today, on September 14th at 7 PM. So far, no one has completed the raid, but the Guardians are fighting valiantly.
Now, at 8:30 PM, the first fireteams have already reached the first phase. A well-known streamer even achieved an impressive kill that the entire Destiny Reddit forum is currently discussing.
Attention: Spoilers ahead!
Kalli the Corrupted has been epicly eliminated
The first raid boss is called Kalli, the Corrupted. This is where most Guardians are currently struggling. Our friend Nexxoss Gaming is still fighting against her.
Defeated at the last moment: The streamer Gunny629 is a bit further along. In the fight against Kalli, he had an “epic moment,” as Bungie tweeted just a few minutes ago. As the last survivor in his fireteam, he managed to deal the final necessary damage to the boss.
This heroic moment was captured in this Twitch clip, which we embed here:

The joy was immense for the streamer and his colleagues. Also, on Reddit, user posts surged that Gunny629 had made an incredible kill. It was said to be epic to have seen it live.
By the way: Apparently, after the first raid encounter the third Seed of Light drops. Guardians have been wondering how to get it for several days. The answer is: Through Kalli.
The following information is not yet confirmed, but only compiled by users. Enjoy it with caution:
The enemies have a Power Level of 560 at Kalli.
In the room, there are platforms over which glowing emblems float.
When you stand on the platforms, Taken bombs will appear. Trigger the bombs, make sure they don’t kill you, and trigger them again.
After you have detonated enough bombs, a Knight spawns at the platform. Kill him, and the platform is cleared. No more bombs will spawn there.
You need to trigger those six platforms that correspond to the symbols in the middle of the room. If you do it wrong, two ogres will spawn in the middle as a penalty.
Once you have cleared the correct platforms, doors will open in the damage phase in the middle where you can find safety when Kalli fires her weapon. Only one Guardian fits in the safe room per door.
Repeat everything until Kalli is defeated.
Currently, no one seems to have progressed beyond the second boss.
Update 9 PM: “The Legend himself,” Slayerage, is already at the third boss.

In the FIFA 19 demo, more is possible than just passing the ball back and forth. You can test some gameplay mechanics, gain initial practical experience, and even use a trick to play online against friends. How to do this is explained here.
1. Learn the new celebrations – including the star celebrations
All the new celebrations are already included in the FIFA 19 demo. You can now test which ones you like best.
All new celebrations (in parentheses are the button combinations for Xbox):
Little Brother – Hold L2 and double tap Circle (Hold LT, double B)
Come on – Hold L1 and press R3 (Hold LB, press right stick)
Child’s play – Hold L1 and keep the right stick pointed up (Hold LB, keep right stick pointed up)
Stay relaxed – Hold L1 and press the right stick up and down once (Hold LB, press right stick once up and down)
Like at home – Hold L2 and move the right stick down twice (Press LT and move right stick down twice)
Kiss the ground – Hold R2 and keep the right stick to the right (Hold LT, keep right stick to the right)
Matador – Hold R2 and press the right stick down once and up once (Hold RT, press right stick down once and up)
Star celebration by Ronaldo
Star celebrations in FIFA 19: Additionally, Cristiano Ronaldo, Griezmann, and Lingard have unique “star celebrations” that only they can perform. All three players are present in the demo. You perform the celebrations by simply pressing X (A) after scoring a goal.
You can see how the modern goal scorer celebrates their successes in the linked article. We list all celebrations and show the new ones with pictures and in video:
Rondo Mode in The Journey: Even if you are not a fan of the story mode The Journey, it might be worth taking a quick look at the demo’s passing version. Because in it you play Rondo.
What is Rondo? Alex Hunter gets to play this passing exercise in the story with his teammates from Real Madrid. Five players line up in a circle and pass the ball back and forth. One player is in the middle and has to try to win the ball:
This Rondo is not played on the soccer field, but in a covered room. Gameplay that is not played on the grass is extremely rare in the FIFA series. Learn more about Rondo in FIFA here.
3. Practice the finishing timing
What is finishing timing? Finishing timing is a new gameplay feature that gives you more control over your shots. It demands more from you on the field than the normal shooting system, but if you master “Timed-Finishing”, the balls will often find the net.
What do I need to press for finishing timing? You need to press the shoot button two times in total:
The first time you press the shoot button normally to charge your shot – just like in previous FIFA titles. Hold the button longer to shoot the ball high, press it briefly to shoot the ball low.
Let go of the shoot button briefly.
Then press the shoot button again exactly at the moment the player contacts the ball with his foot for the shot.
If you time it perfectly, the bar above the player’s head turns green. If you have turned off this display, the outline of the arrow above the player briefly flashes green to signal you a perfect finishing timing.
How does that work? To do this, press all shoulder buttons (L1+R1+L2+R2) at the same time. This cancels the entire celebration phase and brings you directly to the kickoff. This saves you a lot of time. You can already internalize this button combination in the demo.
5. Play online with friends via SharePlay
Demo without online functionality: The FIFA 19 demo does not have an online mode that you can play with your friends. It is solely intended for offline play either alone or with friends on the couch.
Nevertheless, there are tricks to play the demo online with friends.
Here’s how it works on PS4: The requirement is that you have a strong internet connection. Ideally over 50 Mbps. Then invite your friend to a party and start Share Play in the party. Then in Share Play press “Hand over controller to visitor” and then “play together”. You need PS Plus for this.
Now you can play the FIFA 19 demo together as if your friend were sitting next to you on the couch. You both see the same thing on your screens. So for penalty kicks, make sure to show the arrow properly…
6. Test the dynamic tactics
What are dynamic tactics? In FIFA 19 you get more tools to give your tactical formation more individuality before the game and adjust quick tactics during the game.
How to change the tactics: You can set them in the team management before the game. Now hold down the left shoulder button (L2), where you can adjust the “Very Defensive”, “Defensive”, “Offensive”, and “Very Offensive” tactics. You can change formations, different playing styles, and player instructions.
During a match, you can then select the tactics at any time using the arrow keys without having to interrupt the match. The players will then take on a new formation or new playing styles – whatever you set earlier.
7. Choose the second stadium
In the demo, two stadiums are available:
Estadio Metropolitano
Estadio Santiago Bernabéu
If you do not want to play in the same stadium all the time, change it before the match in the game settings. You can also change the difficulty level. However, the halftime length of 4 minutes cannot be adjusted.
Finally: Play some matches to get used to the new gameplay. How do the players behave in one-on-one duels? How precise are passes and crosses? Which shots are particularly dangerous?
FIFA 19 offers a lot of new player animations that aim to make the gameplay smoother and more realistic. Ball reception and ball control have been improved, and the feature “50/50 Battles” ensures that players engage more intensely and greedily in duels.
Just in time for the demo release, EA Sports has released a trailer to get you ready for the new FIFA season. The motto is “Your season begins”. We embed it here:

A new bundle of skins has been found at Fortnite. Players on Xbox One hope that the bundle with the fresh outfits could be just for them. That would be balm for the battered Xbox soul: After all, PlayStation 4 has already had two exclusive bundles for Fortnite.
What is this bundle? The Xbox One site “True Achievements” has discovered a bundle. The bundle offers:
2,000 V-Bucks
the Eon Outfit
the Resonator Pickaxe
and the Aurora Glider
The outfit is supposed to be only for Battle Royale.
When is it coming? It is not yet known when this bundle will be released and in what framework. The price is also unknown. It is only said that the bundle has been “discovered.”
Exclusive PS Plus Bundle
What is interesting about it? The bundle comes with a description text. This suggests that the package is aimed at buyers who have no idea what Fortnite is at all. The description text even promises them “access” to the free Battle Royale mode.
So it is assumed that this bundle could come with a console or a controller.
The bundle already has a relatively high value due to the exclusive skin and the 2000 V-Bucks. It would therefore be interesting for players.
Could this be exclusive to Xbox One?
What suggests that it will be available on Xbox One?
The Trueachievements site is an Xbox site
and the skin “Eon” has the colors “Green” and “White” – these are traditionally the Xbox colors
Exclusive PS4 Skin: The Bomber
PlayStation 4 already has 2 bundles: This is already sufficient for observers to speculate that this bundle might be exclusive to Xbox One.
This would be something special because there hasn’t been such an exclusive Fortnite bundle for Microsoft’s console so far. For PlayStation 4, however, there are already two exclusive skin bundles:
However, some are skeptical: Skepticism remains. Xbox One players are still not quite convinced that the bundle is just for them. On reddit, it is said: “We never get anything.” Responsibility for this is attributed to exclusive Sony deals with Epic and Microsoft’s proximity to Fortnite competitor PUBG.
Moreover, they make fun of the fact that the description text states that the package allows players to instantly jump into Fortnite: Battle Royale. It is well known that Fortnite Battle Royale is free.
Hera will soon descend from Olympus and enter the gods’ MOBA SMITE as the 98th playable goddess. Fans have been waiting forever for the Queen of the Gods.
In the teaser trailer, you can get a glimpse of Hera’s fiery temperament.
Hera in Mythology
While other gods rule over the elements, Hera embodies the divine itself. In Greek mythology, she is the wife and sister of Zeus. She is regarded as the guardian of marriage and the home, with symbols including the peacock, the cow, and the pomegranate.
Zeus’ affairs trouble Hera: Jealous and with great envy, Hera observes her husband Zeus’s numerous affairs and flirtations. Typically, Hera expresses her displeasure through pouting and quarrels. She even pursues Zeus’s illegitimate children, not shying away from murder.
Hera in SMITE – Fans have been waiting for her forever
Hera will be a mage who controls other gods: Hera will impose her will on opponents and make them dance to her tune. Her faithful defender Argus, a metal giant, will stand by her side.
Since Zeus was introduced in 2013, hardcore lore fans have been repeatedly calling Hera’s name.

With The Culling: Origins, the battle royale game is being reimagined and returning to former glory. The developers are combining new approaches with past successes, making the game free-to-play.
The Culling as a free-to-play version: After the setback with The Culling 2, the developers Xaviant Studios are making another attempt with The Culling: Origins. The remake of the first part will be free and will be released on September 14th.
Anyone who already owns The Culling will receive some bonuses.
The Culling: Origins is supposed to be better
Mix of Day 1 and fan requests: The Culling: Origins is set to be inspired by the first part of the series. As already announced at the end of the second part, the game is supposed to revert to the state of the “day-one patch”.
This is intended to bring back the “everything goes” approach, with popular features back in focus, including:
the Day 1 combat system
perks
airdrops
and the general gameplay.
Initially, only “The Island” will be available online as the map, as the prison is not yet optimized for the combat system.
New features based on feedback: In addition to the “back to the roots” approach, there are also some new features that fans have requested and which, according to the developers, should fit well into the game.
The most significant change is that The Culling: Origins will be free-to-play. You can play Origins in full without having to pay. Additionally, other features will be added to the game:
experience points and leveling
leaderboards
“Cull Crates”
new cosmetics
new weapons
a skill-based matchmaking
voice chat
When can I play? The Culling: Origins will be released on Friday, September 14, 2018, at 6:00 PM for PC on Steam.
Will The Culling: Origins also be available for Xbox? There is still no exact date for the release, but the developers are working on a version for Xbox.
Cosmetics cost: According to the developers at Xaviant Studios, all gameplay aspects will be completely free. Those who want to support the studio can purchase cosmetic items with real money.
You can buy DLCs for real money or “tokens”, with which you can directly buy certain cosmetic items or “Cull Crates”. DLCs contain exclusive cosmetic items.
What are Cull Crates? You receive Culling Crates by leveling up or by purchasing them with tokens. Each Cull Crate contains 4 cosmetic items that you can use to change your appearance. The cosmetics include:
clothing
weapon skins
taunt gestures
victory emotes
and Culling Cards.
Duplicate items will reward you with credits instead, which you can also find randomly in the crates. With credits, you can specifically buy cosmetic items. Additionally, you may occasionally find tokens in Culling Crates.
Buyers have advantages: If you purchased The Culling before it was released as a free-to-play version, you will receive an “Original Gangster” pack as a gift. This is a special DLC pack.
As an Original Gangster, you will receive:
two complete “O.G.” outfits
1000 tokens
10 Cull Crates
4 Culling Cards
2 weapon skins
one victory emote
All content is exclusive to this DLC pack and cannot be purchased individually or obtained through Culling Crates. If you return as a former player since the Big House Update, all your statistics, progress, and unlocks will also be carried over.
Restart after disaster
The Culling is being released again: The developers want to re-release the battle royale game The Culling under the name The Culling: Origins, rather than releasing a sequel.
The first part of The Culling was released in March 2016 and had already shut down by the end of 2017. The reason for this was probably PUBG, which took away The Culling’s player base.
The Culling 2 was not well received: After the demise of the first part, the developers attempted a second part. However, this received catastrophic reviews and numerous negative reviews on Steam.
After just one week, The Culling 2 was taken off the market.
Origins is supposed to do everything better: With The Culling: Origins, the developers hope to achieve the success they did not have with The Culling 2. Origins is said to be the result of careful consideration and feedback from the community.
The Culling: Origins will be free to play. Just see for yourself whether the developers have achieved their goal and whether The Culling: Origins is “good” again.

The MMO shooter Warframe receives the update “Mask of the Revenant” for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The update has already been released on PC, and now it’s the consoles’ turn.
What’s included in the update “Mask of the Revenant”? The latest update for Warframe provides you with another Warframe, the titular Revenant. Additionally, there’s a new weapon for the new Warframe.
And then there’s the Street Fighter minigame “Framefighter”.
This is what the new Warframe “Revenant” can do
What role does the new Frame play? Revenant is a “Controller” who manipulates enemies, taking away their combat effectiveness. His abilities are:
Enthrall: This allows you to control enemies and pit them against each other. Such enslaved minions will eventually explode in energy blasts.
Mesmer Skin: Here you reflect damage back at enemies and stun them. Stunned enemies can be enslaved at no additional cost.
Reave: Here you rush through enemies as an energy wall, draining their shields and life force.
Danse Macabre: This skill continuously emits energy beams that shred enemies apart.
How do you get the Revenant? Go to Cetus to the mask seller Natak and bring her a Cetus Whisp. Then you will receive a mask for your Operator. Take the Operator to the Lake of Gara at night, and you will get background information and a specific quest for the Revenant blueprints.

How do I access Framefighter? To play Street Fighter with Warframes, you need to travel to Cephalon Simaris and acquire a “Ludoplex”. This allows you to play all minigames, including Framefighter as well as the sidescroller “Wyrmius” and the Flappy Birds equivalent “Happy Zephyr”. These games are also hidden within Warframe.

Bungie has announced the first Iron Banner after the launch of Destiny 2: Forsaken. All players should be able to participate, regardless of whether the expansion was purchased or not. But how exactly will the level advantages affect the game? Bungie is in a dilemma.
First Iron Banner in Destiny 2 with level advantages: With the launch of Forsaken, Bungie has restructured the Iron Banner:
Finally, level advantages should be active again, as the lore “prescribes.” After all, only the best should be able to compete with each other.
At the same time, Bungie wants to allow players who did not purchase the Forsaken expansion to participate in the Iron Banner.
Both ideas contradict each other: Everyone can join. But power level advantages are active. So what about players without Forsaken?
The questions:
Will players without Forsaken have a significant disadvantage in the Iron Banner?
Or are the power level advantages only marginal?
We do not yet know the answer to both questions.
Bungie’s TWAB only provides vague information: A corresponding statement was found in a weekly blog post from Bungie in August: It states that buyers of Forsaken will have an advantage, but in principle, all players can participate.
Depending on the perceptibility of these advantages, two scenarios can be derived, both of which may represent a dilemma for Bungie.
Scenario 1 – The level advantages are clearly noticeable
Without Forsaken, no chance in the Iron Banner: Those who could not or did not want to purchase the latest expansion will be at most level 30 and power level 400. Guardians with Forsaken will largely be at a power level between 520 and 540 due to the raid launch this weekend.
A difference of more than 100 levels would lead to one-sided gunfights due to the strongly pronounced level advantages. What role character level plays is still unknown at this time. For players without Forsaken to have any chance at all, the character level must be completely ignored.
If players with this significantly higher level have advantages in combat, the motivation for non-Forsaken players is likely to drop quickly. They benefit from the rewards after a match but have little opportunity to make their mark on the fights.
Mixed teams could cause issues: Guardians with significantly lower power levels are likely to disrupt the team balance in the Iron Banner. If the split between players with and without Forsaken is not even, some teams may already have a clear disadvantage at the start.
If the level advantages are noticeable, Bungie’s announcement that all players can participate becomes a pipe dream. Because then Guardians without Forsaken may only be able to take part on paper in the Iron Banner but will be practically hopeless.
Power level differences are negligible: If the damage drop-off at a power level difference of between 100 and 140 points is only marginal, all Guardians can easily participate in the Iron Banner.
In this case, however, Bungie would have to be asked why the level “advantages” are even back in the game. If the effect is hardly noticeable even with large level differences, Bungie could just as well have kept the status quo from year 1.
No matter which scenario applies, Bungie is in a dilemma: If the power level advantages are clearly noticeable, players without Forsaken are likely to have a significant disadvantage. At the same time, this would always be a disadvantage for team balance if players are unevenly distributed.
If the advantages are only marginal, Bungie will face the accusation of having reintroduced level advantages into the game when they have no effect.
When will we know more? However the level advantages become noticeable, on Tuesday, September 18, we will know more. The first Iron Banner in Forsaken will start then.
What do you think? How will Bungie implement the power level advantages?

In Ring of Elysium, you play Battle Royale in a freezing environment. In line with the Steam release, there is also a trailer.
The Battle Royale shooter Ring of Elysium is considered by many players as a free alternative to PUBG. The gameplay looks realistic. There are no garish colors that distract from the fact that you are fighting for survival.
What is it about? In Ring of Elysium, you play tourists who are trapped in a ski resort. The problem is that the cold wears you down and you must survive to catch the rescue helicopter. And the other tourists have the same goal.
Reminds of winter sports: There are opportunities to speed down the map and steep cliffs with snowboards and snowmobiles. You can also use zip lines and hang gliders for movement.
How many players are in a RoE match? 100. You compete along with 99 other players for one of the four spots in the helicopter.
What makes Ring of Elysium different from Fortnite or PUBG? A system allows players to automatically build weapon upgrades on their guns. You move across the map using hang gliders, snowboards, cars, boats, and snowmobiles. You can already get an impression of this in the trailer.
Additional features:
Dynamic weather
Avalanche danger
Weapons with 2 scopes
4 winners
FPP and TPP mode
Update from September 19: What’s new? Ring of Elysium is now available on Steam. Unfortunately, not yet for players in Europe. However, Tencent confirmed that they are working on an EU version, which will be released “soon.” There is no specific date yet. Several languages are expected to be supported.

All Celebrations at a Glance – Which Buttons You Need to Press
