In the new Path of Exile DLC “War for the Atlas,” new unique items and ten new gems await you.
Developer Grinding Gear Games has introduced the new expansion for the ARPG Path of Exile. The “War for the Atlas” expansion is available for free, just like the base game and the other six DLCs.
The DLC is already available on PC. The release of the Xbox One version will follow later in December.
War for the Atlas DLC Contents – What does the expansion bring?
The new Path of Exile expansion revolves around a conflict: an ancient being known as “the Elder” undermines the creator’s dominion over the Atlas of Worlds. You find yourselves caught in this strife, which devastates the maps. In the process, you explore the powers of the Elder.

The War for the Atlas DLC brings you new maps where you can slash through nasty monster groups. Clear your way to the heart of the Atlas and face new challenges along the way.
Deformed and Elder Items
When you play on maps controlled by the creator or Elder, you can find deformed or Elder items there. These can possess powerful properties that do not occur otherwise.
New Unique Items
A large part of the more than 50 new unique items for Path of Exile, which have now been unlocked through the new DLC, originated from the community.
10 More Gems with War for the Atlas
The DLC introduces ten additional gems to the game. They are divided into
Four Skill Gems
Six Support Gems
Among the four skill gems, the focus is on necromancy. The support gems aim to bring more variety to the game and create new possibilities for many skills.
Those who have followed Destiny and Destiny 2 since the beginning will inevitably have encountered them: 5 legends that were so powerful that people still talk about them today.
In the more than three years of Destiny’s history, there have repeatedly been eras that produced particularly strong weapons. The impact of these weapons on the various contents of Destiny varied in significance.
One weapon made every boss fight a joke, while another drove opposing Guardians in the Crucible to despair – either way, they are all legends that we want to remember in this article.
Vex Mythoclast or the ONE Fusion Rifle
Without a doubt, the first raid in Destiny’s history offered the best weapons that could ever be earned in a Destiny raid. Fatebringer, Vision of Confluence, or even Guilty as Charged are still known to Guardians who were fortunate enough to enter the Vault of Glass.
However, Bungie really hit the home run with the Vex Mythoclast, an exotic fusion rifle that was only available as a rare drop from Atheon. Not only could the fusion rifle be equipped in the primary weapon slot, but it also played like an auto rifle.
“Guilty” was due to the weapon’s exotic perk that played into the Vex’s ability to influence time.
The first players to manage to get this weapon turned the Crucible into a madhouse.
Opponents of this weapon were simply outmatched. Even the once overpowered auto rifles like the Shadow Price or the Suros Regime couldn’t withstand this overpowering force.
If you would like to reminisce about this time, you can do so with the following video:

Bungie felt compelled to intervene and reduced the damage of the weapon. After that, it steadily declined. Since the Vex Mythoclast is a fusion rifle, it suffered from all the nerfs that this weapon category endured, leading to its utter unplayability.
Bungie ultimately never succeeded in differentiating the Vex from other fusion rifles. While it returned again at the end of Destiny 1, it could never reclaim its glorious times.
Moira is the newest hero in the roster of Overwatch and is now playable in the ranked mode. One of her signature abilities is Fade, which showcases a hidden strength of the healer!
Moira’s Special Abilities
Moira’s character concept is unique. She plays with the balance between destruction and creation by healing with the life force she drains from enemies. At the same time, she takes advantage of nanobiology to disappear and reappear. That is her only means of mobility.
With this ability, Fade, skilled players can gain significant advantages. With proper timing and combination with objects, elevated or distant places can be reached in fractions of a second. At the same time, one disappears from the enemies’ field of view.
This makes it possible to reach places that are usually only accessible to heroes with good positioning abilities – like Pharah, D.Va, or Widowmaker. This is particularly advantageous when Moira needs a safe place to use her ultimate or has to flee from enemies.
The ability is based on two mechanics: invisibility and increased movement speed up to four times. Moira does not teleport; instead, she disappears, becomes much faster, and reappears.

The areas from which Moira can jump must actually be unpassable. This means that the ability only works where she would otherwise slide down. The majority of objects have small surfaces like this that need to be found and utilized.

Moira can also climb larger surfaces where other characters would normally slide down. The distance she can cover before sliding is greater. This allows her to take shortcuts that are closed to others. A significant advantage, especially in ranked play!
The same mechanic could previously be utilized with Genji. If his Storm Strike was combined with a jump, he could also catapult himself far or high. However, Blizzard quickly toned that down and removed this possibility from him. Perhaps Moira will face a similar fate.
Until then, practice makes perfect!

In Destiny 2, the “Trials of the Prometheus Lens” are running. Some find it cool, others get no fun from it.
It was the big surprise last night: Xur, the usually stingy Exotic dealer, brought the super weapon in PvP with – the Prometheus Lens.
The Prometheus Lens was introduced this week with “Curse of Osiris”. However, the fusion rifle, which fires a red laser, came with a bug that makes it overly strong in PvP. You just have to shoot at an opposing Guardian for milliseconds and it takes them out. Here you can see gameplay footage of this Exotic:

No weapon has been as overpowered as the Prometheus Lens in the history of Destiny for a long time. A similar OP level was once held by the Vex Mythoclast in year 1 of Destiny 1, but this weapon was quite rare at that time.
However, almost everyone has the Prometheus Lens now, as Xur has been offering it since Friday night. Thus, the Crucible is currently deteriorating into one big laser show, as the overwhelming majority of all players brings the Prometheus Lens with its red laser into battle.
The Prometheus Lens in Xur’s offerings cannot be a coincidence
Bungie already announced a few days ago that the exotic fusion rifle is bugged. It is expected to be patched next Tuesday. Until then, Senior Game Designer Jon Weisnewski wrote, please take care of the players who do not have the Prometheus Lens.
However, it seems Bungie is now pursuing a different strategy: Instead of “consideration,” they are going for a full offense and simply giving all players the chance to go into battle with the Prometheus Lens. With the motto: “If everyone has the OP weapon, it is no longer unfair!”
Officially, Xur’s inventory is completely random – even Bungie does not know what he will bring from week to week – but in the past, there have always been cases where players consistently said: “Bungie, this cannot be a coincidence!” The current Xur offerings are now the latest example.
Have fun with the laser show
At the moment Xur appeared, several Bungie employees spoke out. The official Twitter channel announced that this weapon is now available at Xur in the EDZ. Community Manager DeeJ emphasized that the “terror” of the Prometheus Lens will be reduced next week, until then it is available for everyone. And Game Director Luke Smith posted this GIF file without comment:
Shortly after, DeeJ commented on the Prometheus Lens again: In Greek mythology, Prometheus gave fire to humans – which angered the gods. With the fire, humans gained great power. This now also applies to the Prometheus Lens.
Pure dominance in the Trials
Despite the new OP weapon, the Trials of the Nine are taking place this weekend. And as the statistics from the Trials report reveal, the Prometheus Lens dominates the Trials at will.
In 99% of all matches, at least one Guardian uses the Prometheus Lens. Thus, it is virtually impossible to find a game without a laser show.
Moreover, 90% of all kills in the Trials have been achieved with the Prometheus Lens so far. In second place is the rocket launcher “Sins of the Past” with 4%.
In the community, this dominance is received in different ways. Many celebrate that there is finally a powerful weapon in Destiny again that creates a stir. A reddit post with thousands of upvotes points out to Bungie that fortunately there is a powerful weapon again and the community loves it. Bungie should learn from this.
And again, others can only watch the whole laser show: For those who do not own the “Curse of Osiris” expansion, access to the Trials is blocked.
What is your opinion on this? Do you celebrate that the weapon turns PvP upside down for a few days or would you have expected a different reaction from Bungie?

The MMORPG Rift has introduced an option with the latest update that allows you to purchase an important endgame resource with real money. Many players see this as Pay2Win and are vocally complaining on Reddit.
Rift is an esteemed online role-playing game by Trion. As is common in the genre, you level up to the endgame, where you then loot new items and resources for even better gear in raids. For many players, this progression is extremely important.
Therefore, there was quite a backlash when it was announced by Trion that they would be offering endgame resources for real money.
New update allows unlimited purchase of endgame resources with real money
On December 7th, there was an update for Rift that introduced further methods to farm the coveted endgame resource “Captured Intel”. You can farm 47,000 units each week by engaging in various in-game activities. The Captured Intel can then be exchanged for powerful jewelry items at Tier 2.
In addition to the in-game methods of obtaining the resource, there is also the option to simply whip out your credit card and pay real money for Captured Intel. The real money method has no limit; you can buy as much Intel as your bank allows. Furthermore, Captured Intel from real money sales does not count towards the weekly maximum.
Players scream “Pay2Win”!
So, those who spend money can buy endgame progress and thus skip the grind. This is clearly Pay2Win for many players, and a backlash is already raging on Reddit. There are calls for a boycott of the real money resources, and people are generally angry at Trion.
Other players do not see it so strictly. After all, you can still earn the resource in-game.
What do you think? Is it Pay2Win if you can shorten endgame progression?

The wild action game Crossout receives new maps for PvP and PvE with Update 0.8.3. Additionally, the AI, notorious for its stupidity, becomes smarter and more effective.
In Crossout, the post-apocalyptic action MMO by Gaijin, you drive wildly assembled junk vehicles through the wasteland and blast each other to pieces. This works well in PvP against other players. However, in the coop PvE mode against the AI, the almost non-existent artificial intelligence of the bot opponents somewhat dampens the fun of Crossout.
The computer opponents usually just drive around aimlessly and can be shot down like rabbits. However, this is supposed to change with the new Update 0.8.3.
AI becomes smarter and behaves appropriately!
With the new Crossout Update 0.8.3, the AI is supposed to become smarter and behave according to certain parameters. These behaviors depend on the faction to which the opponents belong. The “Lunatics” will specifically target the weakest player and engage them together in close combat.
The “Nomads”, on the other hand, stay at a distance and use technologies like drones and cloaking field generators to fight effectively from far away. In Update 0.8.3, the Nomads, Lunatics, and Scavengers receive such an AI update. More factions will follow in later updates.
New maps and modes for PvE and PvP
You can try out the new AI in the new PvE maps and game modes:
In the new PvE mode “Frontier Defense”, you must reclaim an oil drilling platform from the Raiders. You need to carve a path to the drilling tower and eliminate all defenders and fortifications. Once the area is secured, you must withstand several waves of enemies. To do this, you can repair the former defenses of the enemy and use them against your foes.
The new PvE map “Refinery” takes place in a Scavenger outpost in a destroyed chemical plant. There lies a valuable artifact from the old world that attracts treasure hunters from the vast wastelands. You can either risk the short but dangerous route through the flooded passages or take the longer path around the facility. The entrances to the area are mined, and the entire chemical plant is swarming with Raiders.
Additionally, there is a new mode for PvP fans. In “Bedlam”, all players of Crossout can participate regardless of their level. Unlike in the regular battles of Crossout, you can re-enter the battle with your vehicle an unlimited number of times in this mode. Ideal for thoroughly testing your vehicle creations!
Bungie addresses the topic of Prestige trophies, HDR on the PlayStation 4, as well as known issues in Destiny 2.
One topic that has made particularly big waves in recent days is: If you haven’t purchased the new expansion Curse of Osiris, you no longer have access to the Prestige activities of Destiny 2: These are locked for non-buyers.
This meant, in consequence, that the trophy / achievement “The Prestige” has become unattainable and thus the Platinum trophy can no longer be earned.
Bungie has now commented on this and other issues.
Trophies and Achievements in Destiny 2 without Curse of Osiris
If you haven’t purchased Curse of Osiris, you have no chance of obtaining the Prestige achievement (and thus the Platinum trophy on PS4) in Destiny 2. Bungie has announced that they are aware of this issue and are working on a solution.
This represents a change in direction compared to earlier. There were similar difficulties and protests back in Destiny 1 in 2015. At that time, Bungie sat out such problems.
How exactly Bungie’s solution will look is not known. They will inform us as soon as there is something new on this matter.
Many PS4 players were surprised after the launch of the expansion that HDR was not activated, even though it was mentioned in the patch notes. HDR allows for more realistic colors and a better picture.
Bungie plans to fix this error with the next update next week. It should be done by December 12.
Furthermore, Bungie addressed other known issues that they are working hard to resolve:
Some players are unable to reach the pillars of the public event on Mercury and die as soon as they are launched into the air by cannons. This affects PC players who play Destiny 2 with more than 60 fps.
Players may find themselves unable to join heroic adventures. The notification “already active” appears.
Guardians who have earned more than 84 emblems may not see any further emblem. It will not display.
Bungie is investigating reports that there are increased frame rate stuttering or performance drops on PC.
Players may lose access to previously owned items if they infuse items with a higher level requirement than their character’s current level allows.
It may occur that players have to fast travel to the Lighthouse after completing adventures in the Always Forest to leave the activity.
What do you think about this? Are you affected by some of the mentioned issues?

Monster Hunter World (PC, PS4, Xbox One) is supposed to have more lore than its predecessors. In the new story trailer “Third Fleet”, a piece of this story is revealed. There are new characters to see and a monstrous problem that the hunters have to deal with.
Capcom released a new story trailer for Monster Hunter World, titled “Third Fleet”. The video provides a deeper insight into the lore and characters of the story.
The trailer opens with a picturesque scene that guides you through the Coral Highlands with dreamy music. After that, a male Wyverian is seen talking about an Elder Crossing that is currently taking place.
Wyverians resemble elves with their pointed ears and are said to be a cross between humans and wyverns.
A gigantic monster is also shown that resembles a living volcanoand is causing trouble for the residents. This volcano monster must be defeated, no matter the cost!

The Creative Director of Fortnite (PC, PS4 & Xbox One) advocated for crossplay between the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One during the “Top Games Awards.” Players want and deserve this!
Crossplay is playing across different consoles or even between PCs and consoles. Players can play together or against each other, even if they are on different platforms.
In the gaming world, this is a rarity.
While Microsoft is considering this feature and allowing gameplay between players on a Windows 10 PC and the Xbox One, Sony has so far vehemently opposed crossplay on the PlayStation 4.
However, crossplay between the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 is certainly possible and even took place for a short time in Fortnite. The developers at Epic Games accidentally enabled crossplay in Fortnite. The feature was quickly removed, probably under pressure from Sony, but the Fortnite developers do not want to leave it at that.
Fortnite Developer Donald Mustard: “Players want crossplay!”
During the Top Games Awards, Fortnite’s Creative Director, Donald Mustard, was asked about crossplay by host Geoff Keighley. Mustard said that Fortnite is most fun with friends and it is a shame not to be able to play together with buddies due to platform limitations.
“Players want crossplay!” said Mustard. Therefore, Epic Games will do everything possible to make crossplay happen. “Players deserve it!”
Let’s hope that the Fortnite developers succeed with their noble endeavor and that Sony eventually allows crossplay.

Capcom released a trailer featuring Mega Man in Monster Hunter World (PC, PS4, Xbox One)
At the PlayStation Experience 2017, there was a surprising appearance. Capcom revealed in a trailer that Mega Man will appear in the action RPG Monster Hunter World.
The little blue fighting robot is available as pixelated armor for your Palico, the cat companion. As Mega Man, your cat has new animations, such as drinking a large energy tank or attacking a monster with energy balls. This whole experience is musically accompanied by classic Mega Man chiptunes.
What are Palicos? Palicos are your loyal cat companions that support you on your hunts. They give you small buffs or can heal you on the hunt and negatively affect monsters. In the world of Monster Hunter World, they are highly intelligent and are considered full-fledged monster hunters who join humans.
Who is Mega Man? Mega Man is an iconic blue fighting robot and also comes from Capcom. In the 80s and 90s, Mega Man rose to become one of the most popular video game franchises. The games are typical platformers where you jump and shoot your way through levels. Each level features a boss at the end.

In Destiny 2 is the raid sector Worlds Collide live. Here is our raid guide with solutions for all phases. Here’s how to defeat the final boss Argos!
On December 8th, the new raid sector “Worlds Collide” opened its gates. It is a new PvE activity that came with Curse of Osiris, designed for a fireteam of 6 Guardians, and has a recommended power level of 300.
The first fireteam took less than two hours to achieve the “World First Run”.
You start the raid sector via the Navigator by opening the Nessus orbit and selecting “Leviathan, Worlds Collide” on the left side.
In the following, we explain the mechanics of the raid. A note at this point: Spoiler Alert! If you want to explore the raid on your own, you should not continue reading.
Escape the Reactor – Solution and Strategy for Phase 1
Fly to the Leviathan. You start directly in front of a door that opens when you stand close to it. This is the entrance to the raid sector.
Now run down the corridor, jump down, hop through rotating gears, and follow the path the game indicates. Until you reach a room with a purple atmosphere: This is the first encounter of the raid sector. Your task is: Escape the Reactor. You must cross a rather expansive area filled with deadly “water”. If you fall in, you die.
In front of you is a platform. Jump onto it and another platform will appear. But beware: If two or more Guardians stand on one platform, it collapses and you die.
Therefore: Number yourselves from 1 to 6. When Player 1 jumps on the second platform, Player 2 jumps on the first platform. When the third platform appears, Player 1 jumps on it, Player 2 goes to platform two and Player 3 enters the first platform, etc. This requires a little coordination, but if you do this consciously, you can gradually cross all the platforms. And don’t forget: Each player may only stand on one platform at a time!
Jump from platform to platform
You come to a large, fixed platform where a few enemies stand. This is the first checkpoint. If you die, you start again there.
You now need to cross more platforms, dividing into two groups of three, as you now have two platform paths ahead of you. But the principle remains the same: Everyone only on one platform. Work your way through the room one step at a time.
At the end of the path, you reach a large, expansive platform. There you must defeat Loyalist Cabal. Hold off a few waves, grab the well-deserved loot and continue.
Nexxoss Gaming shows you the phase in the video:

Now you run through a machine room. You enter an area with rhythmic deadly impulses. Hide behind the barriers. Run from barrier to barrier as soon as an impulse passes. This shouldn’t be a big problem.
Hide behind such barriers
You are now going deeper into the Leviathan until you come to a tunnel that shoots you through the mouth of the Leviathan. It looks pretty cool here: Make your way down until you arrive here: At this location, the rest of the raid sector takes place.
By the way: If you fall through the mouth of the Leviathan, you can fly through six rings. If you activate all of them, you will receive a chest at the end.

Before you face the final boss, you first need to break through a barrier. First, get to know the room:
In the center of the room is a thick “cube” where mines spawn during the encounter.
In three corners of the room, there are three platforms (each representing Arc, Solar, or Void). They are marked with blazing fires:
Additionally, there are six Vex skulls scattered throughout the room (two between each platform):
You need to pick up these Vex skulls and hit them into the flames at the platforms to charge them. This charging process “energizing skulls” takes a few seconds. For example, if you toss a skull into the Arc flames, you will shortly receive an “Arc Laser Weapon”.
Now that you know the room and the most important mechanic – but how does the fight play out?
As soon as you pick up the first skull, Argos arms his quantum mines. This is noted on the left side of the screen. This means that mines will appear on the cube in the middle. These mines are blue (Arc), purple (Void), or red (Solar).
You can only destroy these mines with the corresponding laser weapons that you create with the skulls and the elemental flames. So: If you need to destroy a Void mine, you need to hit a skull into the Void flames, wait a moment, grab the Void laser weapon, and shoot the mine:
Here’s how it works: Split into three teams of two. At each platform, you have one person who takes care of the adds and another who hits the skulls into the flames. There are six skulls and three flames for each element – you can charge multiple skulls at the same time.
You start with one of the three sides of the cube. There, several mines of different elements will appear. Communicate this to your team members and take care of it with the corresponding weapons. Each weapon has enough ammo to destroy one and a half mines. Make sure to shoot all the ammo, as only then will the next skull spawn, which you can then reload.
If you take too long, the mines will explode and you will die. Therefore, ensure that you charge the skulls quickly and communicate well about which skull weapons are needed.

Always ensure your skulls are charging. It is of utmost priority to have charged skulls.
Do this for all three sides of the cube. Then the final boss will break out of it:
Argos – How to Defeat the Final Boss
The final boss is a Vex enemy. You again need the same “charging skulls” mechanic.
In the center of the room is Argos. He has a shield around him. You can only deal damage to him when the shield is down.
Outside of the shield are three of these circles:
Once one side is “active”, its circle lights up (as shown in the image above). Then, three spheres appear there – one can be seen on the upper image in the bottom right. You must deliver these three spheres into the glowing circle to bring down the shield.
You can only move the spheres, which always correspond to an element, with the skull laser weapons of the same element. For example, if Solar spheres are floating around, you need Solar skull weapons.
Once the shield is down, unleash everything you have on the boss (Damage Phase). His weak point is the red “eye”.
But beware: Argos shoots a triangular net: If you are caught in it, you float high into the air and your team members must free you by shooting you.
Additionally, during the fight, such floating Vex enemies will appear: They hunt you and explode. Shoot them down before that happens.
But that’s not all. After the damage phase, Argos rebuilds his shield and you repeat the whole thing. However, he will first try to completely destroy you. Platforms will appear that you must quickly climb: You need to get on these platforms to get closer to Argos’s weak points that open up: You must destroy two weak points in one round, otherwise your entire team dies. There are a total of six weak points: two on the head, two on the back, and two on the arms.
The important thing about these weak points is: You must deal continuous damage. Ideally, use a pulse rifle or an auto rifle. A rocket launcher is useless here. Because as soon as you stop shooting, the weak points turn white again (when you shoot at them, they turn red). And you need to keep the weak points red for a while for them to be destroyed.
Divide into two teams of three, with each group shooting at a weak point. And do so continuously, ensuring at least one person is firing at all times. Coordinate with each other.
Tip: Shoot at the weak points on the arms in the first round, as these are the most difficult and sometimes move. In the next round, take the two weak points on the head, and in the last round, those on the back, as these are the easiest.
Once two weak points are destroyed, his shield will rebuild, and you repeat the whole thing. There are a total of four damage phases and three weak point phases.

These are the mechanics you need to know. And here’s how it goes:
You start the fight by picking up a Vex skull.
Watch which circle in Argos’s shield becomes active. On this side, three Guardians now position themselves to handle the adds. The other three Guardians charge the skulls you need for the three spheres (according to the elements).
There are 6 skulls, but you only need three for the spheres. However, you can also charge the other skulls to use them during the damage phase against Argos. Ensure you have plenty of power ammo for the damage phase (rocket launcher!).
Once the skull cannon is charged, you shoot as simultaneously as possible at the spheres so that they fly into the circle in the shield and bring the shield down.
Now unleash everything on the boss.
After the damage phase comes the weak point phase. Keep your teams of three, each focusing on one weak point.
Repeat this until the boss is down.
Do you have any further tips for the Worlds Collide raid sector?

Monster Hunter World: Beta Guide summarized in German
In the beta of Monster Hunter World, you can hunt a total of 3 monsters, which are divided into different difficulty levels.
These 3 monsters you can hunt
You will face 3 monsters and can hunt them in the Ancient Forest and Wildspire Waste.
Here are the monsters with brief descriptions:
Great Jagras (Beginner) – Found in the Ancient Forest
The Great Jagras can swallow monsters in one biteand use the gained weight to scare off enemies.
Barroth (Intermediate) – Found in the Wildspire Waste
Barroth uses its large and heavy head to smash through its surroundings.
Anjanath (Expert) – Found in the Ancient Forest
Anjanath have powerful jaws that they use to tear apart enemies and a keen sense of smell. They are merciless and aggressive predators that won’t let their prey escape quickly.
This is how the beta is structured: Start and Quests
Character Creation – At the start, you choose one of12 preset characters to become your hunter. In the full version of Monster Hunter World, there will be a detailed character creator. After that, you will also be given a choice of 6 Palicos, the cat companions.
Select Quest – After creating the avatar, you will receive 3 quests to choose from that you can undertake.
You don’t have to complete the quests in any particular order and can start directly with the hardest one.
Group Formation – You can play the quests solo or (online) in a group. For playing together, you have several options available.
Matchmake: Here you will be thrown into a group where you can hunt together
Create your own quest: Here you will be the group leader and others can join your quest
Search by criteria: Here you can specify special wishes about who should join the quest
Search by quest ID: Here you look for a friend’s ID and enter their lobby.
Equipment: Once you have chosen your quest and possibly a group, you can select your equipment – this also applies to your cat!
Armor: You can choose from a number of armor pieces
After the successful hunt: Once you have successfully defeated a monster and thus completed the quest, you can either continue playing in the same group or start a new quest.
In the game, you can also find a weather symbol. If you touch this, the game will show you which Pokémon types are currently spawning more frequently and are positively influenced by the current weather conditions.
A test version of the battle teams has been activated, allowing you to assign up to six Pokémon to a group. In raids and gym battles, you can quickly select counters or monster groups that match the current weather.
The storage limit for Pokémon has been increased from 1000 to 1500.
The interface during battles has been revamped and now shows your charge attacks more clearly. You can also execute these via a new button.
Various bugs have been fixed.

Now go out and catch the new little monsters that are once again displayed as “shadows” in your nearby overview. According to initial reports from the community, the spawn rates are currently increased. We cordially invite you to share your experiences with the new monsters in our Pokémon GO group on Facebook.
Fresh updates from the developers give Beyond Good and Evil 2 a boost. How is the development of the game progressing?
Normally, developers do not discuss their development plans in detail with fans this early, but Beyond Good and Evil 2 wants to approach this differently. In an initial livestream, the “Space Monkey Report,” the developers talked extensively about the feedback they have received from fans and how it motivates them to fulfill the wishes of the players.
The stream provided a wealth of small information about how designers and developers work and where they source information to realistically portray the hybrids in the game and connect to the first part of Beyond Good and Evil, which is now 15 years old.

The current focus is on community feedback, which has rapidly developed after the game was announced at E3. Fans are repeatedly asked about their ideas regarding various aspects of the game, and the developers aim to implement these ideas.
Anyone who wants to have a say and provide the developers with feedback can sign up for the “Space Monkey Program” and may gain access to early alpha and beta versions of the game once they become available. Registration can be done here (link to the BGE2 website).
Beyond Good and Evil 2 will take a long time to arrive
However, all interested parties should keep in mind that Beyond Good and Evil 2 is still in the conceptual phase of development. Even though the trailers and sequences may look like the game is in an advanced state, many features are not yet set in stone.
The developers want to combine many genres and offer “space piracy” with online features and an extensive single-player campaign with numerous choices. Whether this dream can come true will surely be revealed in the coming months.
There is still no release date for Beyond Good and Evil 2. However, fans anticipate a development period of at least two more years.
Before the launch of “Curse of Osiris,” the new raid wing generated considerable discussion. Bungie only announced “new raid content,” leading the entire Guardian community to speculate what “raid content” could mean. A completely new raid? A PvE arena like the Prison of Elders? An extension of the current raid?
Now we know: The Leviathan raid will be expanded with a raid wing. This is called “World Eater” and takes you into the belly of the Leviathan. The new challenges will thus take place beneath the current raid encounters.
The kickoff will sound on Friday, December 8th, at 7 PM. If you can’t dive in directly yourself or prefer to watch others solve the mechanics first, you can check out Nexxoss Gaming here. He will take you into the raid wing. We will embed the Twitch stream here:
https://www.twitch.tv/nexxossgaming
What is the raid wing actually?
The raid wing is a standalone raid activity that, like the previous raid in Destiny 2, takes place on the Leviathan. You explore new locations, solve specific mechanics, and in the end, defeat a completely new final boss.
“World Eater” is not supposed to be as extensive as the normal Leviathan raid, but it will be more challenging. You will receive new loot in the form of weapons, armor pieces, and cosmetic items as rewards.
The recommended power level is 300 (normal difficulty). The raid wing is played in a fireteam of up to 6 players.
A detailed guide to the World Eater raid wing is expected to be published tomorrow morning on Mein-MMO.de.
Two more notes:
Bungie will once again crown the “World First Run.” This means they will publicly announce the fireteam that can complete the raid wing first.
There are a few “known issues” in the raid wing that may give some players advantages over others in the race. These issues could not be resolved before today’s launch, but Bungie did not want to delay the date.
In Destiny 2, the Trials of the Nine start today, on December 8th. Which map is being played? What game mode is up next?
Today, on this Friday, the first Trials of the Nine will begin after the release of Curse of Osiris and Season 2. From now on, there are Trials ornaments for your gear. You earn these by completing certain challenges. You will find out what these are as soon as the PvP event is live.
In the last few days, Guardians have been wondering whether this week’s Trials of the Nine will even take place. Currently, the Prometheus Lens, a new exotic, is dominating PvP. Due to a bug, the weapon is very strong. Soon, at the earliest on December 12th, the bug is expected to be fixed. Since Xur is bringing this exotic this weekend, one can expect the “Trials of the Prometheus Lens”.
Despite the OP weapon, the Trials will take place this week. It will be played on the map Radiant Cliffs. The game mode is Countdown.
What are the Trials of the Nine with the Countdown mode?
This time, you will fight in the Trials in the mode “Countdown”. It is a round-based and objective-based PvP mode.
You will compete in teams of four, with the offensive and defensive roles switching between the teams each round:
If you are the offensive team, you must plant a bomb at one of two possible locations and defend it until it detonates.
If you are the defensive team, you must prevent a bomb from being planted or defuse the bomb in time.
The team that successfully completes its role wins a round. You can also win a round by completely defeating the opposing team. A limited number of revives by team members is available. The team that first wins 6 rounds wins the match.
After each match, you will receive “Trials of the Nine” tokens, which you can redeem with the emissary for Trials engrams. Additionally, you will receive extra rewards after 3, 5, and 7 match victories. If you achieve a flawless run (7 victories without a loss), you can claim an extra reward. If you have 3 match losses on your ticket, you must start from scratch.
In the Trials of the Nine, there is no matchmaking. You must assemble your team of 4 players yourself. Additionally, it is a “locked-loadout playlist.” This means you cannot change your weapons and armor pieces until you leave the playlist.
Today Xur is coming to Destiny 2.Where is Xur and what items does he have for sale? What are his location and inventory on December 8th?
As “mysterious” as he has been today, Xur hasn’t been like this for weeks.
When does Xur come? He usually appears on Fridays at 10 AM. However, with the Curse of Osiris, the reset times have been uniformly set to 6 PM, so it remains to be seen if Xur will follow this as well. Update: Xur is not yet findable at 10 AM. He will likely arrive at 6 PM.
Additionally: In December, Xur will receive a new merchandise offer. However, this will only be available with the update on December 12th. So, this week he does not have fate engrams and no Three of Coins in his inventory.
Let’s see what he brings today. Let’s welcome the noodle face together.

By the way: Next week, the third Faction Rally in the history of Destiny 2 will start. This is the first team battle in the second season, which introduces new ornaments for the armor pieces. All information about it here:
Pearl Abyss, the creators of the glossy sandbox MMORPG Black Desert Online (PC) want to develop new games. Meanwhile, some information about two planned MMO projects has become known.
On September 14, 2017, Pearl Abyss, the development studio behind Black Desert Online, went public on the Korean stock exchange. At the same time, they assured investors that they were already working on 4 more MMOs alongside the sandbox MMORPG Black Desert Online and its mobile counterpart at Pearl Abyss. Two of them are expected to be released next year!
However, what exactly Pearl Abyss had in mind was not known until now. Meanwhile, the studio boss has revealed some details.
A mobile MMO without competition?
Dae Il Kim, the studio founder and chairman of Pearl Abyss, mentioned in an interview with the Korean website Inven about two of the studio’s new projects. They plan to create a new mobile MMO that is NOT Black Desert Mobile.
Instead, it is said to be a game without a medieval setting. The game will be developed for a global audience and all age groups. Additionally, it won’t focus on player competition. Rather, the emphasis will be on having fun meeting other players.
Pearl Abyss wants to try its luck with a MOBA shooter
This already sounds curious, but Pearl Abyss’ other concept tops this even more. Allegedly, the second project is a mix of a shooter and a MOBA game. According to Kim, it will be very different from Black Desert and designed for consoles.
MOBA shooters like Battleborn have not had much success so far.
Kim did not want to reveal more information in the interview. Whether the planned MOBA shooter is a good idea is debatable. So far, games from this genre have mostly failed colossally (Battleborn) or have not been continued at all (Amazon’s first title Breakaway).
Pearl Abyss has to come up with something to succeed in this genre.
