When opponents become arrogant in Overwatch, only Lúcio can save the day – as a true stealth character!
Overwatch doesn’t operate like many other team shooters in several aspects. While team play is crucial in Overwatch and coordinated teams usually prevail against a bunch of lone wolves, there are still amusing situations where individual players can turn the tide.
This was the case for the player Moosion. After his team barely managed to capture the first control point on the map “Temple of Anubis”, things took a dark turn. Really dark. The opposing team was so strong that they were simply mowing down their enemies right at their spawn area.
With 20 seconds left before a looming defeat, Moosion decided it was time to act. He switched to Lúcio and waited until his teammates once again rushed into the enemies. He took advantage of the chaos, quickly zipping across the map thanks to speed boost and wall ride. He hopped from wall to wall, covering distance in no time.
At the opponent’s control point, there was a surprise – no enemies. Not even the opposing Torbjörn had placed his turret there. The capture bar filled up little by little before the enemy team even realized what was happening.
Only the enemy Torbjörn tried to return to the control point with his molten core activated. However, he arrived exactly too late, and a well-placed push from Lúcio ensured that victory was secured. For the side that was actually at a disadvantage.
The moral of the story? Spawn camping is not acceptable!
Have you ever had a match where the arrogance of the opponents ultimately led to victory?
A major insider report on Anthem highlights the situation of BioWare and its most important remaining project, Anthem. A lot is at stake for the team, and they have some concerns. A release is likely not planned until 2019.
The author Jason Schreier from Kotaku is known for tapping sources in the gaming industry. He speaks to studio employees in confidence and then whispers and murmurs about the status of a current project. The employees want to remain anonymous because they are not authorized to share information.
Development with Difficulties
He has done this with BioWare and their game Anthem. Fans actually expect it in the fall of 2018. Anthem is a sci-fi third-person shooter with MMO elements, leaning towards a loot shooter. Some compare it to Destiny, The Division, or Warframe.
In Schreier’s report we learn that Anthem has been in development since 2012 and that the team is struggling with the Frostbite engine. It was originally designed for the Battlefield games and traditionally poses problems for BioWare’s projects, which tend more towards RPGs.
In 2014 and 2015, Schreier heard: The development of Anthem is not going well – recently the project has gained momentum and the mood has become more positive as more and more BioWare employees join the project and work on its completion.
Release Date of Anthem: Fall 2018 was never realistic – Must be finished by March 2019
The surprising thing: There is almost no information about Anthem itself. In comparable “insider articles”, there were always some nuggets of info about gameplay and direction. This is completely missing in the Anthem report.
However, there is one important piece of information: The official release date of Anthem in fall 2018 was, according to Schreier’s sources, never realistic. The release date is still unclear.
But EA will push for the game to be released by March 2019 at the latest. Then EA’s fiscal year ends, and money must flow to keep investors happy.
Fear of nasty YouTubers, content-hungry fans, and pressure from EA
Otherwise, the article mainly discusses the mood at BioWare.
It lies somewhere between “optimism” and “fear.”
They fear three things in the team:
BioWare knows how important Anthem is for the company after Mass Effect: Andromeda flopped. If Anthem goes wrong, they fear consequences for the studio from EA
They are also aware of EA’s reputation after the Battlefront 2 fiasco and believe that well-known YouTubers are sharpening their knives to go after BioWare and Anthem. EA will be especially targeted. BioWare believes they will also take the heat and be portrayed as cold-hearted villains
BioWare knows how massive the project is and that comparable games like The Division, Diablo, and Destiny initially faced communication and content shortages. They anticipate similar startup difficulties for Anthem. Especially the problems with Destiny 2 and how the community reacted put pressure on the mood at Anthem.
However, Schreier concludes his article on a positive note. BioWare is striving for transparency with fans, answers questions on reddit and what has been seen so far is fantastic. In any case, BioWare is under pressure.
In The Division 1.8 runs the 4th Global Event. We show you how to quickly earn Global Event Credits (GE-Credits) during this event. This way, you can farm the currency quickly.
Since January 23rd, the fourth Global Event is live in The Division. It is called “Ambush” and allows you to quickly obtain the secret set pieces of AlphaBridge, Firecrest, Hunter’s Faith, and Tactician’s Authority.
To obtain this “Classified Gear”, you need to purchase “Superior Ambush Caches” at the Terminal. These have a fairly high chance of dropping the new secret set pieces. However, they cost a hefty 1500 Global Event Credits (GE-Credits).
We now present three ways to efficiently farm GE-Credits.
Important Note: It is possible to buy “Ambush Caches” for 900 GE-Credits. Do not buy these! They cannot contain any secret set pieces. Recently, Massive admitted that there are actually no reasons to purchase the regular Ambush Caches.
How to efficiently earn GE-Credits in 1.8 Ambush
You only receive GE-Credits during a Global Event week. Almost all activities and bosses grant GE-Credits as rewards.
During the Ambush event, you can activate additional modifiers in the missions Times Square Power Relay, Broadway Emporium, Police Academy, and Queens Tunnel Supply, as well as in the Dragon’s Nest Incursion to receive more GE-Credits. One might think these missions are the best to farm GE-Credits, but they actually take quite a long time, making them not recommended.
How many GE-Credits do you earn in these missions?
Missions on Challenging grant 750 GE-Credits upon completion. If you activate an optional modifier in the above missions, you only receive around 125 additional GE-Credits (varies depending on the mission and difficulty). However, the specified missions take too long.
Times Square Power Relay can be completed on Legendary, granting over 1500 GE-Credits. However, this mission takes too much time and is too difficult for some agents, making it unsuitable for farming.
The Dragon’s Nest Incursion on Heroic rewards 900 GE-Credits plus 175 from optional modifiers. However, the Dragon’s Nest is also not efficient, as the fight against the final boss drags on.
Therefore – consider the following three farming methods:
Weekly HVTs: The weekly “High-Value Targets” can be quickly defeated solo or in a group. Each mission only takes a few minutes and rewards between 400 and 750 GE-Credits. Each boss also drops additional GE-Credits, so you can gather many GE-Credits in just a few minutes. You can find the officers for HVTs at the terminal, and you will need target data for them.
Clear Sky: After the HVTs, you should ideally farm the “Clear Sky” Incursion in a well-coordinated team of four. On Heroic, you receive 900 GE-Credits per run. You get around 50 extra GE-Credits for the boss. With a strong team, Clear Sky can be completed in under 7 minutes.
Lexington: If you do not have a top team available, the “Lexington Event Center” mission is the best farming method. Set it to Challenging, find random teammates, and receive 750 GE-Credits for every completion. The mission lasts about 10 minutes if you are quick, making it significantly shorter than other missions. You also get around 30-50 extra GE-Credits for the boss.

Keep in mind that you can also play all other missions or incursions to earn GE-Credits. This is undoubtedly more fun than repeating the same mission over and over, but not nearly as efficient.
Important: All information applies to World Tier 5.
A secret quest in World of Warcraft is quite tricky. We will tell you how to become the Postmaster!
With patch 7.3.5, Blizzard has hidden some small content pieces in World of Warcraft that many players might overlook at first glance. There is a new questline revolving around the legendary Postmaster. Yes, that’s right. The guy who sends you every little pebble you missed looting in a dungeon and fills up your mailbox.
The quest starts with the item “Lost Mail.” You can find this item in Dalaran, near a random mailbox. But be careful: only one player can loot the letter at a time, and it has a respawn time of about 2 hours. If you don’t want to wait, you can also buy the letter directly from the auction house, but be prepared for high prices. Depending on the server, the letter goes for 10,000 to 200,000 gold pieces.
Before the hotfix, the letter that starts the quest could only be found at the mailbox right in front of the Violet Citadel, causing many players to get stuck there.
The questline requires you to visit the Postmaster in Dalaran, whom you can find behind the first aid shop in Dalaran. Just click the large tube and you’ll be at the Postmaster.
From there, it’s a simple questline where you just need to follow the steps. However, reading the quest texts is worthwhile because you’ll encounter cool characters like Johnny Imba and get to bring him “Invincible” from the Lich King.
Tricky Minigame for Azeroth Experts
The conclusion of the questline is a minigame that is not very easy, as you have to sort mail. You will receive an envelope with an address, such as “Lake Shire, Redridge Mountains.” Now you have to quickly assign the letter to the corresponding tube that matches the continent – in this case, “Eastern Kingdoms.” Repeat this 15 times within 60 seconds, and you have completed the quest!
As a reward, you will receive (later in a letter) a toy that allows you to access a mailbox anywhere in the world temporarily. Additionally, you will receive another letter as a quest starter that you can gift to players or sell at the auction house.
Once you have completed the quest, you can test your true talent and continue to assist the Postmaster. After completing the quest, there are two more achievements that reward you with a cool pet “Eilementar” (Mail Elemental) or the title Postmaster.
Achievements and Titles Only for Professionals
For the Mail Elemental, you need to correctly assign a total of 30 letters within one minute – you only have 2 seconds per letter, so it will take several attempts and some practice.
Anyone who also wants the title Postmaster has to complete an even tougher challenge. Again, you need to correctly assign 30 letters within 60 seconds. However, these letters only partially have their addresses. Instead of a zone name like “Val’Sharah” or “Westfall,” you will only see the name of the place – such as “Graywatch” or “Tarren Mill” or “Lor’lathil.” Here, you need to quickly recognize which place is in which zone and then assign them to the corresponding continent. With 2 seconds per letter, that’s quite a piece of work!
Have you found the letter yet and completed the achievements? Or are they too difficult and should be simplified?
With Star Wars: The Old Republic, it might soon be over. At least, some sources say that BioWare is debating the end of development.
As part of a longer report about Anthem, the upcoming MMO shooter from BioWare, Kotaku spoke with some insider sources from BioWare. According to them, a lot of pressure lies on the studio, and the success of Anthem will likely decisively determine the future of BioWare.
In fact, Anthem is said to be so important that BioWare is pulling employees from other projects to accelerate Anthem’s development in its last year. This would be standard practice and had already happened with Mass Effect: Andromeda.
SWTOR is supposed to die so that Anthem can be completed
In this context, it was discussed: According to Kotaku’s sources, there are plans to discontinue the development of SWTOR, thereby likely officially “killing” the game. Another source stated that these plans are still being “discussed” – they certainly exist.
This concern at least fits the perception of many fans of Star Wars: The Old Republic. In recent months, players have increasingly complained that the servers feel empty and the content of the patches is becoming less frequent.
SWTOR has focused heavily on improving existing systems in recent months, which actually lays a good foundation for the future. In light of the new revelations, it could also mean that they are now phasing the game out and simply do not plan to release any new content, aside from what is currently in production, for the MMORPG.
Are you still regularly playing SWTOR? Would you miss the game on the market? Or have you long left it behind?
In February, Metal Gear Survive (PC, PS4, Xbox One) is set to release and may provide a new home for survival enthusiasts. We will show you what to expect from the game, its connection to the Metal Gear series, and what trend features the game does without.
Metal Gear Survive is an action-packed zombie survival game that features some differences from the Metal Gear series. However, this does not mean that the game is bad; it ignites heated discussions in the gaming community.
You can play the game solo or in co-op mode, although the single-player mode is probably not the flagship mode.
What is Metal Gear Survive about?
In MGS (Metal Gear Survive), the main goal is to survive against hordes of zombies.
The story of the game begins where Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes left off: Skull Face and the XOF destroyed the “Mother Base,” which Big Boss and Kazuhira Miller somehow managed to leave alive. Shortly thereafter, a wormhole opens in the sky and sucks in the remaining base and the soldiers.
The wormhole leads to an alternate reality where the remnants of the Mother Base and the soldiers are now situated. Additionally, there you will encounter zombies, many zombies! While they may not look like the usual zombies we know, they are zombie-like.
The goal is to find enough materials and plans to rebuild the base. You will face action-packed battles against the zombies, fueled by Molotov cocktails.
Gameplay – How does it play?
The basics:
You play Metal Gear Survive in a open world.
You control from a third-person perspective, giving you a good overview of the enemy masses.
The good thing about the zombies is that they are not smart. They usually follow you in a straight line, without taking small detours. If you place a fence between you and the enemies, they will run in front of it, and you can comfortably take them out.
Aside from the zombies, there are other typical survival features like hunger and thirst that need to be satisfied. The weapons you use to fight the enemies depend on your character creation. There, you choose weapons and items that suit your playstyle.
Solo and Multiplayer Coop Possible
Whether you play MGS in single-player mode or invite friends to the coop mode is up to you. As a single player, you are given three AI companions who will follow your commands. This can work and bring joy to many players, but the focus of the game is on multiplayer functions.
In your coop group, which consists of up to four people, you explore the world together or complete missions in the game. Additionally, the known stealth mode from the Metal Gear series is said to be utilized in coop.
An important part of MGS is building and defending your own base. You can upgrade this with resources or equip it with powerful weapons. While you are outside the base searching for important items or fighting enemies, you will encounter toxic clouds. For this situation, there is a mask with a limited oxygen tank. If you run out of air, you must return to the base.
Release on PC, PS4, and Xbox One
There is not much time until the release. On February 22, 2018, Metal Gear Survive is set to release on PC, PS4, and Xbox One at a price of €39.99.
Pre-orders also grant access to a Day 1 DLC that brings special weapon skins, scarves, emotes, and more.
Criticism – Hideo Kojima Issue
Even before the release, there is a lot of criticism directed at Metal Gear Survive. This primarily comes from fans who are upset about the title of the game. If the game had been given a different name instead of “Metal Gear Survive” that did not include “Metal Gear,” the criticism may not have been so harsh.
But fans say: The Metal Gear series was created by Hideo Kojima. Now, with Kojima no longer at Konami, the publisher wants to use the name for monetary gain. Without Kojima, the game is not worthy of carrying the name Metal Gear.
Kojima explains that the game would have gone differently under his guidance: “In Metal Gear games, it’s about political fiction and espionage. How do zombies fit into that?”
This discussion is already dividing the community before the game’s release. But one positive aspect is the latest statement from the MGS producers. They have now declared that the game will not include microtransactions, loot boxes, or P2W features.
Previously, there were some rumors about microtransactions, which have now been clarified.

The sales figures for the crucial month of December 2017 are here. While the star of Destiny 2 slowly fades, the stars of Fortnite and PUBG continue to rise. But another game dominates the Christmas business: Call of Duty WW2.
Every month, the analysis firm SuperData releases its market research figures. These are top 10 lists of the games that generated the most revenue digitally in a month. The numbers apply worldwide.
Digital gaming market grows by one-sixth
Overall, the digital video game market grew by 17% in December 2017 compared to 2016. The industry is booming.
There are hardly any surprises. Trends that could be observed throughout the year continue.
The premium AAA games on PC and consoles have turned up. Mobile is also gaining momentum. Social games and subscription games are declining.
The big winners of December 2017
One of the big winners in December is Call of Duty: WW2. It secured 1st place among console titles. And that’s not all. In terms of digital sales, CoD: WW2 had the best quarter for consoles of all time. No console game has generated more revenue in a quarter than the latest title from CoD. This fits the spirit of the times: More and more games are being purchased digitally for consoles.
A surprise is Grand Theft Auto V. The oldie has achieved the best revenue quarter years after its release. GTA V Online breaks its record from June 2017 and now has earned more in one month than ever before.
Throughout the year, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has been winning – and this trend continues in December. Players on Xbox One eagerly awaited the release and purchased 2 million digital units of PUBG. The “clones” of PUBG also count among the winners. Mobile games like Knives Out and Rules of Survival have launched successfully.
Fortnite: Battle Royale and PUBG successful on PC and consoles
Fortnite Battle Royale generated 89 million US dollars digitally in December 2017 and keeps pace with PUBG in growth. This is a tremendous success on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. According to Superdata, the player base is evenly distributed here.
PUBG and Fortnite are also the only games from the top 10 on consoles that are also found among the PC games. The usual suspects from Asia, such as LoL, WoW, World of Tanks, and other familiar faces still dominate there.
Critical voices for Destiny 2 – Black eye for Battlefront
In contrast, Superdata has critical voices for Destiny 2. They say that the DLC “Curse of Osiris” had no significant impact on the game.
Both the digital revenue figures and the monthly active users remained the same in December 2017 compared to November. This may be because many purchased Curse of Osiris not in December, but months ago as part of a special edition.
This is disappointing for Destiny 2: Normally, one expects an increase in the number of monthly active users with a DLC release and not a flat line. At least, SuperData did not see a decline here.
Interestingly, the title “Star Wars Battlefront 2” is impressively holding 4th place among consoles. This is achieved by Star Wars without any additional revenue source. The planned microtransactions had to be removed from the game by Electronic Arts after fan protests.
That was the last month of 2017 – we forecast these trends for 2018:
In Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris features Osiris as Dawnblade. However, he was actually supposed to be a Sunsinger, right?
In the Destiny lore, it is often mentioned that Osiris was a powerful Warlock – a Sunsinger Warlock.
As Sunsingers, Warlocks who used the Solar focus were referred to in Destiny 1. They had the ability to resurrect themselves, among other things. In Destiny 2, this Solar focus was replaced by the Dawnblade, which can no longer resurrect itself but hurls flaming blades at enemies with a sword. Since then, if you play as a Solar Warlock, you are Dawnblades.
In a cutscene from Curse of Osiris, we first saw Osiris, who was known as a Sunsinger. But in the cutscene, he suddenly uses the Super of the Dawnblade and attacks enemies with the flaming sword. How can that be?
Osiris as Dawnblade
Three “explanations” can be quickly found in the forums:
Destiny 2 is a video game, not everything has to make sense.
He is now a Dawnblade, “because marketing”. In trailers, he cannot use a Super that no longer exists in Destiny 2.
Or Ghaul is to blame: He first took the Light from the Guardians, and since the cage surrounding the Traveler was destroyed, all Sunsingers somehow became Dawnblades. It just is what it is.
However, these explanations are not particularly satisfactory. The lore expert My name is Byf also thought so, who presents a theory in the video that can be linked to the Destiny backstory. We will present it afterwards.

In fact, there are no direct hints in the lore about how the Light or how the Guardian focuses work. It is only known that Guardians are able to use the Light as a weapon, while also distinguishing between Arc, Solar, and Void energy.
The fan theory now assumes that a Warlock using Solar Light should not be categorized strictly as either a Sunsinger or Dawnblade. Instead, Sunsingers and Dawnblades are Warlocks who both use Solar Light but apply different techniques. These techniques can be learned – and theoretically could be used at will by the same Solar Warlock.
Thus, Osiris could be a Solar Warlock who masters both techniques and can therefore use either the resurrection or the flaming sword at will.
Hints for this theory are provided by the Arcstrider, the Arc Hunter in Destiny 2. It is known that this Hunter subclass did not suddenly appear and replace the Blade Dancer from Destiny 1 out of nowhere. On the contrary: According to the lore, an Arcstrider is a very ancient Guardian focus that has almost completely been forgotten. Arcstriders once “learned” to shape the Traveler’s Light into a staff to defeat enemies.
Early in the story of Destiny 2, Guardians (that is us) learn this “technique” using the piece of the Traveler. The Arcstrider does not “replace” the Blade Dancer, it merely represents another ancient technique of using Light. Here, specifically, the Arc Light.
In Destiny 2, therefore – according to the theory – the Arc Hunter is not a completely new Hunter subclass, but remains the previous Arc Hunter, who has learned a different technique for a different Super.
Ultimately, the new focuses differ little from the “old focuses” from Destiny 1. Grenades and melee attacks have largely remained identical. This is also an indication that an Arcstrider does not represent a completely new subclass, but actually only differs from the Super – from another technique of shaping Arc Light – from the Blade Dancer.
A Solar Warlock can theoretically switch between the Sunsinger and Dawnblade Super at will
What does this mean now? According to the theory, one should not strictly separate the Guardian subclasses of the same element (Solar, Void, Arc). A Dawnblade is not something completely different from a Sunsinger; instead, a Solar Warlock can switch at will between the Sunsinger Super (Resurrection) and the Dawnblade Super (Flaming Sword), provided he masters both techniques.
Osiris is known as a powerful and intelligent Warlock. He may have known the technique of the Dawnblade long before we did. And just as we can switch between grenades at will, Osiris can switch between Solar Super attacks. He decided in the cutscene to use the Dawnblade technique instead of the Sunsinger technique.
This theory would mean that we Guardians could also be Sunsingers, Blade Dancers, or Defenders again now that we have the Light back. Theoretically, we still master these techniques. We haven’t forgotten them just because we can now use the new techniques.
But here comes a design decision from Bungie into play: Bungie does not give us the option to switch between the Super of a Sunsinger and a Dawnblade, even though, according to the theory, it would be possible without issues.
Osiris sets an example for us, if the theory holds true…
What do you think of this theory? Does it sound plausible or is it just an interesting attempt to make sense of the developers’ decisions?

Monster Hunter World (PS4, PC and Xbox One) comes to PC much later than on consoles. According to analysts, this could negatively impact the game’s success and revenue. Generally, Monster Hunter World is seen quite positively.
It’s almost time! On January 26, 2018, Monster Hunter World will finally be released for the PS4 and Xbox One consoles. The latest installment in the Monster Hunter series aims to establish the immensely popular franchise in Japan in the West on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Until now, the series has primarily been found on handheld devices, such as the Nintendo DS, and outside Japan, it has been more of a niche title.
Monster Hunter World is expected to succeed here, but the delayed PC version could jeopardize the game’s overall revenue.
Monster Hunter World is likely to be a success here …
According to analysts from SuperDataResearch, Monster Hunter World could be well received in the West. Developer Capcom has made a significant effort to make the game appealing to Western players:
Monster Hunter World has more open-world gameplay
There are more tutorials, as Western players are often unfamiliar with the game mechanics
The learning curve is not as steep as in typical previous installments of the series
These changes are expected to be well received in the West and contribute to the game’s commercial success.
They expect between 300,000 to 600,000 digital sales in the first month. While that wouldn’t be a AAA-level success, it would be a solid result for a series that has so far only been successful in Japan.
… but the PC release in autumn poses a threat to revenue
However, analysts see the modest success of Monster Hunter World at risk, mainly due to the late release of the PC version, which is expected to arrive only in autumn 2018.
Until then, analysts fear that PC players may have already turned to other titles, and interest in Monster Hunter may have waned.
Long gap between console and PC releases has never been good
Similar cases are cited as evidence, where console and PC releases were far apart. For the action RPG “Nioh,” the console release was in February 2017, while the PC version did not appear until November.
At that time, the player base on PC was only 28 percent of the player count that had initially engaged in the console’s first month.
As a counterexample, SuperDataResearch mentions Dark Souls III. It was released on PC just a few weeks after the console release and had a solid 40 percent of the console player base on PC.
Therefore, analysts fear revenue losses due to the delayed release of Monster Hunter World on PC.
During the “Start was Weeks” at Saturn, you can get the SNES Classic Mini for 99.99 euros. Additionally, you receive a 10 euro voucher from Saturn.
At the launch last year, the Nintendo SNES Classic Mini sold out very quickly. After that, there were always smaller quantities available, which also didn’t last long in stock. Meanwhile, the availability has somewhat improved. However, many retailers still charge more than the suggested retail price of 99.99 euros.
If you’re interested in the retro console, you now have a special offer at Saturn. Here, the SNES Classic Mini is available for 99.99 euros and you will receive a 10 euro voucher from Saturn. This will be sent to you via email starting February 21 and can be redeemed once for a minimum purchase value equivalent to the coupon value + 0.01 euro.
The SNES Mini includes 21 pre-installed games, featuring classics like Super Mario World, Star Fox, F-Zero, or Super Mario Kart. Additionally, Star Fox 2, an unreleased title, is included. Furthermore, two controllers are provided and the cables are significantly longer compared to the NES Mini.
The offers presented here are equipped with so-called affiliate links. By purchasing through one of these links, we receive a small commission from the respective provider. This does not affect the price.

At the start of the Sea of Thieves beta, there are issues. Players are receiving an error message that they are too early.
Today, on January 24th, the closed beta phase of the pirate adventure Sea of Thieves started. Players on PC and Xbox One should now ideally set sail in their ships and navigate the seas, but some are experiencing problems.
“You are too early!” – Players cannot access the beta
On Reddit and Twitter, many players have been complaining for several hours about not being able to access the Sea of Thieves test phase. Players who signed up for the Insider Program early or pre-ordered Sea of Thieves should actually have access to the beta. However, the launch is bumpy.

The TOTW releases continue to take place regularly. This week, it is the TOTW 19 edition.
The TDW 19 is really strong: With Neymar (95), Hazard (93), and Aguero (92), there are three players over 90. Interesting from a German perspective: With Müller, Ginter, and Horn, three German players made it into the TDW. Here is the entire team:

These were the predictions for Team of the Week 19 in FUT 18
TOTW predictions are forecasts of which players deserve a spot in the upcoming Team of the Week. While these predictions never align 100% with the official TOTW, and it is therefore risky to act on the transfer market based on them, they still give a good overview of which players might receive the coveted special cards.
We provide an overview of predictions from various FIFA sites.
Billy Kee [ST] 64 > 73 – Northern Ireland – Accrington Stanley
Sergio Aguero [ST] 91 > 92 – Argentina – Manchester City
Eden Hazard [LW] 92 > 93 – Belgium – Chelsea
Neymar [LW] 94 > 95 – Brazil – PSG
What is the Team of the Week (TOTW) in FIFA 18 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 18. Here, players who showed outstanding performances 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 sets that may contain Rare (Gold) players. However, the chances of doing so are considered low. Additionally, it is possible for you to buy these on the transfer market if they are offered by other players. However, the prices for them are usually extremely high.
The Team of the Week 19 is available in packs from January 24 at 7 PM to January 31 at 7 PM.

Lineage 2 Revolution (iOS and Android) already had plenty of content at release. A major patch now brings more of everything and kicks off the 50vs50 siege season
Lineage 2 Revolution has enough content for players to spend several hours in the game every day. But eventually, you’ll reach the maximum level, and after running through all the dungeons and other instances so many times, they start to feel stale.
Fortunately, the developers have already prepared a large update pack that brings tons of new content to the mobile MMO.

PvP fans can also look forward to the start of the regular season of fortress sieges. This involves epic battles between two clans. Each clan can deploy 50 players to battle and conquer a fortress in a region.
The battles take place every Friday from 20:30 to 21:00. The winning clan gets to hold the fortress for a week and reap the bonuses.
The little brother of the fortress siege is the “open siege”. In these 30vs30 battles, players can participate as early as level 11 and then get boosted to maximum level. Clan membership is not required. These battles take place every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 20:30 to 21:00. Plus, participants receive a “Steam Beetle” as a reward.
Events until February
Until February 7th, there are two new in-game events in Lineage 2: Revolution:
In the “New Region Dice Event“, you earn dice points by completing dungeons and quests. You use the points to roll for valuable rewards like “Maphr’s Protection” and “Enhancement Scrolls”.
In the “Log-in/Attendance Event“, you receive daily rewards when you log into the game. Those who log in for seven consecutive days will receive a “R” grade lacquer box.

Item Changes
The developers removed the Eye items “Sightstone” and “Ruby Sightstone” in Patch 8.2.
In addition, the support items Frostfang, Nomad’s Medallion, and Targon’s Brace were reworked so that they upgrade to the Eye item upon quest completion, which effectively serves as a replacement for the removed Sightstones.
A few changes to the minions now ensure they have improved threat detection. In the patch notes, the developers explain that targeted damage spells will now attract the minions’ attention toward champions.
As an example, they mention Pantheon’s Q spell or Cassiopeia’s E spell. These spells previously did not interest the minions and did not induce any aggro increase. However, this will change with Patch 8.2.
Snowball Gragas Skin
In Patch 8.2, you can expect an icy skin for Gragas. Snowball Gragas (in English Arctic Ops Gragas) will be introduced to you here in the spotlight video.

Last night, a long-awaited battle took place in EVE Online. However, it turned out to be a disappointment. But it wasn’t due to cowardly players, as previously suspected.
Yesterday, we reported on the supposed “1 million dollar” battle that was brewing in EVE Online. The conflict had been building over years, and a war had broken out. People thought: Two massive fleets would face off as the Imperium tried to destroy a Keepstar. That’s a huge space citadel, kind of like a Death Star.
In the lead-up, players thought: Well, with so much at stake for both sides, no one would go all in, and the battle would turn out to be a flop. They were partially right.
Because there was indeed an attack from the Imperium on the citadel. However, it wasn’t the gigantic battle that some had hoped for. Such a battle seems to be hardly possible in EVE at the moment.
A player on reddit explains the problem.
Time Dilation Prevents Epic Battle
The battle took place last night and lasted into the night. In the endover 6000 ships participated in the battle.
The problem is: When so many ships are in one area, a game mechanic in EVE activates called “Time Dilation.” It’s a sort of “intentional lag” – the time slows down for pilots in EVE, and everything takes much longer. 1 second of gameplay turns into 20 seconds of real time. This is meant to give the server a chance to handle all the input.
Death Star Almost Invulnerable Under These Conditions
This has a catch in this specific case: While for players the game speed drops to one-twentieth of the original time, the citadel itself follows different rules. The game mechanics continue in real time for it. It gets repaired again if not enough damage was dealt within a certain timeframe.
To destroy a citadel with the extreme time delay would practically require perfect gameplay under incredibly difficult conditions. This seems almost theoretically possible.
The attackers therefore abandoned the attack after about 6 hours and withdrew. Both sides incurred only relatively minor losses.
Players Struggle with Developer CCP
Currently, a big discussion has erupted that the changes to EVE in recent years have made fantastic space battles impossible. Many players are somewhat disappointed. It is said: We told CCP that all these safety nets are ruining our game, but they haven’t listened to us.
The general consensus is: Defenders of citadels are so favored in the current situation in EVE Online that a battle is pointless.
The English-speaking site PcGamesN learned from CCP that the mechanics actually operate as described here. Whether this will be changed is still unknown in Iceland.
SOS is an upcoming survival battle royale game where players play together and against each other. The famous rapper Snoop Dogg participated, streaming SOS on Twitch and causing quite a stir as he apparently smoked weed. But will he get in trouble with Twitch for that?
In SOS, 16 players must retrieve an artifact from an island overrun by monsters within 30 minutes. In the end, only 3 players can find a place in the rescue helicopter. Therefore, players need to eliminate enough competitors early on while still completing the mission.
An exciting mix of coop and PvP. Furthermore, the game is designed for streaming. Viewers are supposed to have a say in where goodies or traps are placed for the players.
To promote the game further, the developers managed to get the legendary rapper Snoop Dogg for a live stream, alongside well-known streamers. However, he had his own ideas about “gaming”.
Snoop Dogg Smoking on Twitch – Is That Allowed?
During the stream, which had over 80,000 viewers on Twitch, Snoop repeatedly lit a fat joint and casually smoked weed in front of the camera. Smoking is nothing new for Snoop; he is rarely seen without a blunt.

However, some users on Reddit were immediately concerned and wondered if Snoop would get in trouble for it. After all, the streaming platform Twitch is known for banning users for drug use and excessive alcohol consumption in front of the camera.
Legal is Legal
However, the consumption and sale of marijuana has been legal in Snoop’s hometown California since January 1, 2018. And according to Twitch rules, it is okay to consume legal drugs live in the respective location.
However, a warning is required, and Twitch strongly advises every streamer against consuming intoxicating substances during the stream. But would Snoop have refrained from smoking if it were prohibited? Probably not!
After all, he has openly smoked his herb even when it was not allowed.
Snoop Dogg Can Game Without Hands!
Besides smoking, some players had a problem with the fact that Snoop Dogg apparently was not really playing! Rather, he sat in front of the camera for an hour, commented on the game, smoked weed with one hand and typed on his phone with the other hand.
Additionally, there seemed to be another person sitting next to him, but outside the camera, playing. Snoop was merely contributing comments to the gameplay.

This did not sit well with every viewer. On Reddit, some users complained that Snoop seemed to have been bought to promote a game. Furthermore, he did not even try to hide his “fake play”.
Others, however, celebrated Snoop’s relaxed style and found it cool that he did not care at all whether his fake gaming was noticed or not. Rather, some users joked that Snoop had achieved a transcendent level of existence through his excessive marijuana consumption and could thus game without a keyboard and mouse.
What do you think of Snoop’s action? Embarrassing and terrible or funny?
You can now find many new monsters from Generation 3 in Pokémon GO. The developers are helping with the discovery using special eggs.
Since January 23, 2018, you can find additional Pokémon from the Hoenn region in Pokémon GO. Some of the Gen-3 Pokémon were introduced by Niantic during the Halloween event in 2017. More appeared in December. Now another “release wave” has occurred, unlocking a bunch of new monsters.
To help you quickly add these to your collection, the developers are offering a special in-game feature.
Special Gen-3 Eggs
For a limited time, every egg you hatch in the game will yield a Pokémon from Generation 3. This change was announced by the Pokémon GO team on Twitter and resulted in positive reactions from trainers. They are excited about the many new Ground and Rock-type Pokémon.

“Hatch now, trainers. For a limited time, every egg you hatch will yield a Pokémon that was originally discovered in the Hoenn region,” the tweet says.
However, consider that only the eggs you receive after the start of this event (i.e., the Twitter announcement) are eligible. Eggs that were already in your inventory or incubator prior do not count. The contents of the eggs are already determined when you get an egg into your inventory.
How long this event lasts is still unclear. Trainers speculate it might end on February 1, since the date aligns well with the special item offering currently in the shop.
Super Incubator in the Shop
Until February 1, 2018, you can find the Super Incubator in the Pokémon GO shop. For a price of 200 PokéCoins, you can purchase one of these incubators with three charges each. Eggs in the Super Incubator will hatch at 1.5 times the speed.

In Destiny 2 you can now buy the winning weapon of the faction rally: Loquitor IV. But is it worth it?
The first faction rally in Season 2 has a winner: The New Monarch.
Executor Hideo is now offering all Guardians in the Tower Bazaar his winning weapon, the auto rifle Loquitor IV. Faction members receive the weapon for 1000 Glimmer, while others have to reach deeper into their pockets and pay 50,000 Glimmer.
By the way: The winning weapons from the Future War Cult and from the Dead Orbit remain under wraps until the next team battle.
Many a Guardian may now be wondering: “Is it worth buying Loquitor IV? Is the time well invested if I farm 50,000 Glimmer for it now?”
Loquitor IV – Auto Rifle of the New Monarch
The answer to this question is short: No. Loquitor IV is far from being a top weapon that belongs in every Guardian’s inventory. Why is that?
Loquitor IV is a legendary auto rifle with the perk “Impact Casing.” It has a slow rate of fire and high impact. The weapon belongs to the auto rifle archetype with the lowest rate of fire.
The weapon’s range is excellent, but stability is poor. Here are the stats:
The additional perks:
Impact Reserves:The last rounds of a magazine deal increased damage.
You have a choice between:
Ricochet Rounds:Rounds ricochet off hard surfaces. Increases stability, slightly increases range
Extended Mag:Increases magazine size
Alloy Magazine:Increased reload speed when the magazine is empty.
The sights:
GA Linear: Short zoom, Significantly increases weapon readiness speed, slightly increases range
SD Thermal: Medium zoom, Marks enemy targets, increases range
Loquitor IV has a major disadvantage: the poor stability coupled with a jerky recoil behavior. This makes it nearly impossible to land many hits in a row at medium range. The weapon sways terribly.
Stability is an important stat for auto rifles to bring the hail of bullets on target. However, with Loquitor IV, the bullets just wildly fly around.
Due to the high range, you don’t have to worry much about damage drop-off – the difficulty lies in landing the shots. With Kinetic Stability Mods, you can mitigate this somewhat. Nevertheless, Loquitor IV remains a weapon that is hard to control and certainly not competitive in PvP.
An auto rifle with the same archetype and a 360 rate of fire is the Halfdan-D. This weapon has a greater range and better stability than Loquitor IV, which is why you should prefer the Halfdan-D if you want to try this archetype.
Otherwise, auto rifles with a 450 rate of fire, like Uriel’s Gift, are significantly more popular – and better. While Loquitor IV does good damage if you land multiple shots in a row, this is virtually impossible.
Therefore, the conclusion: If you supported the New Monarch, then you can expand your weapon collection for 1000 Glimmer. But 50,000 Glimmer is way too much for Loquitor IV. It can be purchased until January 30th at 6 PM.
In The Darwin Project (PC, Xbox One) you fight against nature, your fellow players, and a sadistic game master. This makes the battle royale game similar to the bestseller “The Hunger Games.” We played The Darwin Project during the first beta weekends on Steam.
Are you tired of the same old 100-player battle royale deathmatches like PUBG and would you prefer a game that is more oriented towards “The Hunger Games”? Then The Darwin Project might be for you!
Here, 10 players fight in a cruel experiment, which is partly also a TV show, for survival in the icy wasteland. An 11th player can intervene as a game master at any time for even more action!
The big difference to PUBG becomes apparent right from the start. Instead of 100 or more players, only 10 people are on the move. Additionally, we do not all start from an airplane but begin our survival fight at 10 separate locations on a map. The map consists of 7 hexagonal sub-regions.
In The Darwin Project, it starts off calmly.
There is also no epic slaughter immediately after the game starts. No player is initially within reach of another. Instead, in the first few minutes, it’s all about gearing up for the fight and protecting yourself from the cold.
Battle Royale meets Survival
Your avatar starts only with an axe, a bow with four arrows, and prisoner clothing in the wilderness. There are no other weapons. You have to aim carefully with the bow or brutally smash your fellow players in close combat with the axe. Wild shooting with pistols and rifles, like in Fortnite or PUBG, is not found in The Darwin Project.
Nevertheless, you have a variety of equipment in The Darwin Project. However, you mostly have to craft them yourself. Everywhere in the game world, there are small trees or old sofas. From these, you can obtain wood or leather, and then craft various goodies from them.
Crafting is vital for survival!
Among other things, you can craft the following from sufficient wood and/or leather:
New arrows (there are also variants like incendiary arrows)
Campfires to warm up
Warm clothing against the cold
Shoes for more speed
Whetstones for the axe (more damage)
Armor against attacks
Traps like bear traps or tripwires
Regularly, stationary electronic storage locations are activated in the game world. This is somewhat like an air drop from PUBG. The first to arrive on site can obtain an electronic component.
From these, high-tech goodies are created, such as a camouflage field, a teleporter, or a protective shield. Such gadgets are particularly useful in the endgame! Therefore, the electronic storage locations are often fiercely contested death zones!
The icy death!
While you fight for survival in the icy world of The Darwin Project, your avatar is freezing. A display indicates how cold you are. Over time, it steadily decreases. If the display reaches zero, you are dead.
To escape the cold death, you must start a fire and thus refill the cold meter. However, the fires are highly visible. They reveal your position to enemies …
Crafting is vital for survival!
You can protect yourself against the cold with (expensively craftable) warm clothing and slow down the decrease of the cold meter, but eventually, you must warm up. Therefore, it does not help to hide somewhere for a long time and camp. The game clearly rewards daring players who actively explore the world.
Hunters …
Another argument against campers is The Darwin Project’s “tracking system.” You always leave your traces in the world that other players can follow. This starts with the visible footprints you create in the snow. In deep snow, real trails are left behind, which even the last idiot can follow in their sleep.
Footprints! There goes the enemy!
But there are even more usable traces. Every time you harvest a resource, a clue is left behind. If another player finds such a clue, your position and distance are revealed to them for a short time, and you are no longer safe!
In such situations, The Darwin Project has its strongest moments:
Because when you start to pick up the trail, you feel like an all-powerful hunter stalking your helpless prey: like a wolf chasing a rabbit.
But if you are the rabbit and not the wolf, you feel like a poor victim being hunted through the woods by an axe-wielding psychopath!
… and the hunted
However, things can quickly turn around when an overly ambitious hunter falls into a trap set by the “prey.” Or you might end up like me, the clumsiest hunter of all time!
There was only one player left besides me, and I was well-equipped and had picked up the trail. But I was so overtaken by the hunting instinct that I had eyes only for the prey and crashed on the way to it, falling into a pit of lava.
The last player, who was crowned the winner without any effort, laughed heartily via voice chat.
An opponent felled this tree and left a clue behind. Now I can track him down.
The game master – May the games begin!
Through the successful mix of survival, hunting simulator, and shooter, The Darwin Project is already pleasantly different from the battle royale competition. But there is also a new feature: the game master (GM)! This eleventh player does not run through the bush like the others, trying to survive.
Instead, this player is a camera drone, which as the game master can intervene in the gameplay at any time. However, the game master is also subject to rules. You have a total of 11 actions that you can use only once each.
An arsenal of goodies and nastiness
You can, among other things:
Heal players
Warm players
Seal an area of the map (players freeze faster as long as they are inside)
Drop an atomic bomb on an area, instantly killing everyone within after 40 seconds
Activate an additional electronic storage
Reduce gravity in an area
Make a player temporarily invulnerable
Make a player visible to all other players for a certain time. If he survives, he even gets bonuses!
However, the game master cannot execute all of this immediately or at their whim. Instead, you as the GM must first gain action points. You get one every minute. Simple actions cost 2 to 3 points, but if you want to drop the bomb or declare a large hunt, you must first save up 5 points. Therefore, such extreme actions are common only later in the game.
Occasionally, you will find screens where you see the position of all players.
Also funny: Thanks to voice chat, game masters and players can always communicate. And since the GM sees everything, they can give targeted tips. Or mislead players!
A feast for socializers or trolls!
In fact, the game master is the ideal position for helpful philanthropists or mean trolls. A kind GM can make sure that a player about to freeze doesn’t meet an inglorious end. Or heal an injured player again. Of course, a nice GM doesn’t drop bombs or calls for a manhunt.
It looks completely different when a troll is at the wheel. They lure players into doom or ensure that an area gets bombed and the subsequent escape routes are shortly blocked. Then the wildly fleeing players may freeze to death in the blocked zone, and the troll laughs maliciously!
I pulled a particularly nasty action as a GM: I made a well-equipped player the target of the large manhunt. All players rushed to him and wanted to slaughter him. But as soon as they reached him, I briefly made the “victim” invulnerable, healed it to the maximum, and gave it a speed boost. It followed with an epic slaughter of the confident hunters!
Jürgen’s conclusion – A great idea, but will it succeed?
I fell in love with The Darwin Project shortly after starting it. The game already makes a good impression in open beta and runs smoothly. The mixture of survival and battle royale works wonderfully, and the tension when you have just picked up the trail of your victim or are becoming prey is indescribable!
Additionally, the fun game master mode allows for plenty of freedom. I can imagine that this feature can be used quite excitingly through Twitch and at special events. Possibly with the audience voting on what the GM should do.

However, during the beta, I also experienced players and game masters insulting each other in the most obscene ways nonstop. Therefore, most players are likely to turn off the voice chat soon.
Furthermore, I find it a bit disappointing that there are only bows and axes in the game. This doesn’t create much of a shooter feel, but with rifles and grenades, the survival part would probably be lacking. Perhaps the developers will later incorporate special weapons with very limited ammunition.
