The PokéStops in Pokémon GO should work as usual again. In recent days, trainers complained about not having enough items.
At PokéStops, trainers collect items that help them on their adventures. These include Balls, Revives, Potions, Berries and more.
However, something has changed at the stops in recent days, which Niantic did not inform us about. The amount of loot that players receive from spinning a PokéStop has been reduced. However, this was only for some players. A solution was not in sight initially.
Apparently, the developers saw the negative feedback from trainers and worked on fixing the issue.
PokeStops are giving 3 Items again
In social media, we have frequently read from annoyed players in recent days, who suddenly only received two instead of three items per spin from a PokéStop. What was unfair about it was that this problem did not affect all players. A user on Reddit wrote that he was on a Pokémon hunt with his girlfriend and only received two items from a stop. His girlfriend, who was standing right next to him, received three.
This bug annoyed many trainers who had to do without loot because of it.
From now on, the problem is supposed to be resolved. On the evening of October 25, the user fatcatstud wrote on Reddit that the “2 items curse” was over. In the last few hours, many trainers have already confirmed this in his Reddit post.
If you are going on a Pokémon hunt now to catch the new ghosts of the 3rd generation, you should be “properly” equipped at the stops again.
The Halloween event in Pokémon GO is active until November 2nd. This spooky event brings the ghost-type Pokémon Banette, Shuppet, Sableye, Shuppet and Lampent from the 3rd generation into the game. We show you the attacks of the five ghosts here.
The worst players in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team are listed here. These are the 10 weakest players in FUT 18!
If you are looking for the best players for your Ultimate Team, then you are in the wrong place! Because we are now taking a look at 10 players who have the dubious honor of being the worst players in FUT 18.
However, these players at the bottom of the rating list are not completely “worthless”: Sometimes you have to spend thousands of coins on the transfer market to acquire them.
There is a reason for this: Some tournaments require a maximum team overall rating. If you place the worst bronze players on the bench (the substitutes also count towards the overall rating), then you can position strong players in the starting lineup while still meeting the tournament requirements.
In other words, players with the weakest ratings can significantly lower the team overall rating. EA Sports can stop this trick by adding an additional requirement that all players must have at least gold or silver quality.
Worst Players in FIFA 18 FUT
There are 10 players in FUT 18 with the lowest overall rating of 46. These are:
Max Wright
Jack Keeble
Tom Sawyer
Mikey Whelan
Josh Lundstram
Leslie Sackey
Tommy Käßemodel
Jordan Young
Matthew Foy
Harry Clifton
Here are the stats for these players (from left to right: Pace, Shooting, Passing, Dribbling, Defense, Physical):The weakest German player is thus Tommy Käßemodel from Erzgebirge Aue. Interestingly, he is not an active football professional!
As RAN reports, the club from the 2. Bundesliga needed a fourth “Local Player” between 15 and 21 years old who was eligible to play for Aue. According to a Bundesliga rule, there must be at least four players in the squad who have come from their own youth program.
Since Aue only had three such players at the time, they signed Käßemodel to a contract.
Actually, Käßemodel is a equipment manager at Aue, who previously worked as a youth goalkeeper. He is not planned for the match operations. Therefore, it is curious that he is even playable in FIFA 18.
Bad Goalkeepers in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team
By the way, there are also two goalkeepers with the lowest overall rating of 46:
Adam Kelsey
Barry Richardson
If you plan to create the worst team, you can use these.
The new PUBG (PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds) update increases the damage of the blue zone and addresses a bug with player armor.
Initially, the creators of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds did not plan to release any updates before version 1.0, but now there is an update for us. However, only minor adjustments are made to the game. The blue “Wall of Death” is supposed to cause more damage in the update. The bug that allowed some shots to ignore the opponent’s armor is also supposed to be fixed.
Update October 26: The patch is now live on the servers and can be downloaded.
Update October 24: The developers have revised their patch notes due to confusion. We have added the revisions in the text.
PUBG Patch Notes Week 31 – October
The new patch is already available on the test servers and can be tried out by you. If everything runs smoothly, the patch will be available for the live servers as well.
In the patch notes, the developers explain what changes for you:
Gameplay
The damage / DOT (Damage over Time) of the blue zone has been increased (Update: The increased damage applies to players who are far from the play area)
(Update: This does not apply to the first blue zone)
Bugfix
A bug has been fixed where ammunition sometimes ignored the armor of targets
Source: Reddit user beatsbyaaron
The changes to the blue zone are based on feedback from PUBG players. They requested an improvement to the blue zone. Therefore, the developers increased the damage of the zone to lure players “in” the confined area.
The update aims to create more fights at medium to short range. In the middle or late stages of a match, fewer opponents should remain outside the blue zone due to the increased damage. Gameplay should then focus more on the limited area.
You can already download the patch for the test servers. It is about 1.7 GB in size. When the update will be transferred to the live servers is not yet known. We will update this article when a patch date is known.
The patch has been available on the live servers since October 26. It is 2.1 GB in size and can now be downloaded by you.
Complaining is easy! But one should not forget what distinguishes the Guardians in Destiny 2.
Those who have been hanging around in the Reddit forum about Destiny in recent days and weeks found little joy: Because everything was and is full of salt.
The term “salt” refers to the state when angry and frustrated people vent their frustration and complain loudly. When users read all the complaint posts, they say things like: “Wow, there is a lot of salt here!”
And this salt is currently flooding the Destiny forums, as well as the comments under our articles.
At times, the Destiny Reddit was renamed “Rahool’s Salt Warehouse”. There were several reasons for this recently:
In fact, just yesterday, on October 25th, we reported on Mein-MMO.de about leaks, exploits, and the ban chaos on PC – all negative news that continues to pile on the salt mountain. And Bungie will likely be busy for some time to come dealing with this mountain.
However, the community shows these days that they can do more than just complain – namely tohelp!
Bunch of Tips for PC Guardians
Numerous PC players have ventured into the Destiny 2 universe since the launch on October 24th and are taking their first steps as Guardians. Many veterans know that the initial period can be quite confusing. What do the different Guardian classes bring? What should I choose at the beginning? How should I build my skills? What is it all about?
Therefore, several well-meaning tips and assistance for the Guardian newcomers have appeared in the middle of all the salt in recent days. Some of these posts received thousands of upvotes and thus stood out amidst the complaints.
to the advice to only do the exotic quests after reaching power level 265
to the tip to definitely secure the scout rifle “Midnight Without a Name” when Zavala has it for you
to a detailed overview of what the first 7 weeks of Destiny 2 taught us.
Many more posts have been published that aim to help PC players on their journey into the Destiny universe.
Once, the Guardians had an excellent reputation for welcoming new players with open arms and helping them along their way. Even in donation campaigns, the community has always shown its best side and generated incredible amounts for good causes.
Of course, there are black sheep in every community, but the Guardians in general have always been known for their great willingness to help.
Even if currently complaints are clearly in the majority, there are still “positive” posts flashing in the forums. In addition to helpful tips, some Guardians write that they simply wish PC players a lot of fun. Such posts also receive hundreds of upvotes and show that not everything is spoiled.
It is to be hoped that Bungie pays attention to all this feedback and can make the right adjustments. Then the community will once again show its best side…
The action MMORPG TERA was originally supposed to be released in 2017 for PS4 and Xbox One. Currently, even the beta is missing. The release date has reportedly been pushed to 2018.
Since then, interested players can already sign up for a beta. The problem: since then, there has been quite a silence. There’s been no news about the console port.
Many fans are wondering: What’s going on? I was really looking forward to it – Why hasn’t there been any news? Some are even afraid that the port has been canceled. After all, the days of 2017 are slowly running out.
Release of TERA on PS4 and Xbox One is likely delayed to 2018
The problem is that there have been no major announcements about TERA for consoles.
There are only reports from gaming magazines that discussed TERA on consoles at Pax West in September. En Masse was present at the convention and gave players the opportunity to play a demo version of TERA on Xbox One.
Apparently, something has changed in TERA’s schedule. The site “Geekscape” reports that while the beta of TERA on consoles was still supposed to take place in 2017, a release is now planned for 2018.
According to initial reports, TERA on consoles is already playing quite well and intuitively – however, there are still technical difficulties and slowdowns occur.
The news that TERA would not be released until 2018 was interpreted by fans of the game in the forum as a “delay” that has gone under the radar.
If the beta for TERA on PS4 and Xbox One is really supposed to start in 2017, it needs to happen soon.
The space online game No Man’s Sky has improved significantly since its launch in 2016, yet the game still carries a negative connotation. However, a group of players shows that it can be different.
The launch of No Man’s Sky in the summer of 2016 was anything but optimal. The game did not meet the expectations of many fans and faced heavy criticism. Even today, after numerous updates that have improved the title, some in the community still express disappointment. No Man’s Sky is still surrounded by negativity.
Fans lead organizations and set tasks
However, not everyone sees only the bad in the game. There are several groups that have a lot of fun with the game and even founded large organizations that tackle various tasks.
Yes, it is currently still not possible for players to really meet in the universe, but that does not hinder progress. Communication and coordination take place outside of the game. Currently, there are about a dozen player groups that are involved in cataloging planets or finding trade routes.
This includes the United Federation of Travelers. The United Federation of Travelers (UFT) can be compared to the UN in real life. They are peaceful players who want to explore the universe and help each other. They catalog star systems and work together bureaucratically. Everything is mixed with a dash of roleplay, as the members of the organization naturally have to take on different roles.
Conflicts are resolved peacefully
When disagreements arise, they are resolved and discussed civilly. There are no harsh insults and offenses, as one might know from the toxic discussions within the community during the early days of the game.
For example, the request from the group The United Nations of Delta (UND) to join the UFT was initially rejected because the members of the UFT were not in agreement. After all, the UND had previously advised other players against joining the UFT. In the end, a polite apology from the UND followed, and discussions began about a solution to the problem.
Politics and bureaucracy in No Man’s Sky
There is politics and bureaucracy within the No Man’s Sky community. There are organizations that have set tasks and take the game seriously while having fun with it. Organizations can dissolve and reform. Tensions can arise, but they are politically resolved.
As you can see, No Man’s Sky can be quite different from the criticism it has received. This brings together players who dedicate themselves to significant tasks.
The Guardians report unfair respawn points in the Crucible of Destiny 2 and lurking enemies that immediately shoot them down.
During the first Iron Banner in Destiny 2, a video circulated within the Destiny community showing a desperate Guardian in PvP who had serious issues with the spawn system. Because every respawn, he was immediately overwhelmed and defeated by enemy Guardians – without a chance to react. This spawn chaos lasted about a minute:

Although the player in the video truly had terrible luck, complaints from players about an unfair spawn system in the Crucible of Destiny 2 are increasing. Frequently spawning in locations where they are immediately shot down again.
The Spawn System – Bungie’s Next Challenge?
According to many players, the Crucible is suffering in several areas:
Crucible matches are boring because teams cluster at specific points waiting for enemies
The current meta consists of high caliber rounds with the MIDA Multi-Tool and Uriel’s Gift
The reduced speed and weaker abilities compared to its predecessor contribute to this sentiment
The token system and loot are already criticized, also in the Crucible
In addition to the mentioned points, criticism of respawn behavior is now increasing. Many players report that they often face an opponent immediately after respawning, without a real chance of emerging victorious from this battle.
This sometimes goes so far that players are killed by the same opponent in quick succession. Some Guardians report this also in connection with enemy super attacks. Not infrequently, a respawn point is chosen by the game that is in the middle of a group of enemies.
In Destiny 1, there were also complaints about the spawn system. Hidden snipers could take out newly spawned opponents quickly. According to community feedback, the respawn system in Destiny 2 is significantly more prone to issues.
Robert says: According to consistent opinions from the community, the spawn system in the Crucible of Destiny 2 has a serious problem. There were also more frequent complaints in Destiny 1, but not nearly as often as in Destiny 2.
Bungie will need to revise this spawn system in the future. It is additionally complicated by the fact that the maps in Destiny 2 are smaller than in its predecessor; spawn points are therefore limited. The reduced team size to 4 players does not seem to reflect this adequately.
Additionally, respawns in open areas should be avoided as much as possible to reduce potential attack directions.
What do you think of the spawn system in Destiny 2? Can you relate to these opinions?

In Fortnite the Halloween event “Fortnitmares” (Nightmares) starts today, October 26th. Both in the PvP mode “Battle Royale” and in the PvE version “Save the World”, there are scary tilesets, items, and costumes.
Until recently, it was unclear when the Halloween event in Fortnite would start, but now the cat is out of the bag and there is a date. Halloween starts today, October 26th, and brings even crazier content to Epic Games’ colorful survival coop battle royale game. The “Horde Challenge Event” is now over. Halloween lasts until November 4th!
The PvP mode Battle Royale also celebrates Halloween
Halloween is not just a theme for the PvE mode of Fortnite. The PvP mode Battle Royale also has new content for Halloween.
First, there are the leaderboards and seasons that come with the new update. You can now compete with other players and track your achievements on the list. At the end of each season, there are special rewards, depending on how well you did.
In addition, you can now purchase cosmetic items in the game with the currency V-Bucks and customize your avatar. The new Halloween skins fit particularly well. You can indeed start the battle as a Skull or Ghoul Trooper. Furthermore, the rocket launcher has a new “Pumpkin Launcher” skin, the pickaxe is a creepy scythe, and a new healing item called “Slurp Juice” provides healing over time.
Also cool: The controls on consoles have been improved. You now have significantly less input delay and can switch the aim mode on and off at the push of a button. Previously, you had to hold down the aim button continuously.
Even more Halloween action is available in the PvE mode of Fortnite. There you can explore the new map “Hexsylvania”. The following features are waiting for you:
36 new quests
New enemy “Pumpkin Head”
New monster “Vampire Swarm”
New llamas containing Halloween items that must be bought with candy, the new event currency
New survivors with Halloween costumes
New hero skins in Halloween style
New weapons like the Pumpkin Thrower or the Assault Rifle “Gravedigger”
New traps
In this video, you get an impression of this Halloween event:

A new patch for Overwatch has appeared on the PTR. However, some things are suspicious about patch 1.17.
On the PTR, the public test server of Overwatch, a new patch was deployed last night. Update 1.17 offers very little new content, and the patch notes read disappointingly.
The update primarily brings numerous small bug fixes for AI and some interface issues. For example, the frames of players’ portraits are displayed correctly again, and Sombra bots are now able to hack health packs.
BlizzCon lets patch 1.17 grow
However, the community on Reddit is already convinced that patch 1.17 will contain much more than it currently appears. The fans assume that next week at BlizzCon the next hero will be revealed and activated directly on the PTR.
The biggest hint here is the version number 1.17. This suggests a “major” patch. If it were only a hotfix, which the small number of changes and their low significance would imply, it would still fall under patch 1.16.
This would also roughly reflect the plans from last year, as during that time Sombra “hacked her way into BlizzCon” and resolved a long-standing game with the community before being unlocked in the game shortly thereafter.
Soft buff for Winston
However, there is also a small feature that Winston players will be thrilled about. The shield that the scientist can deploy now has a display for the remaining hit points of the barrier. This way, Winston can always see how many of the 600 points are still available and can better time his next jump.
What kind of hero are you hoping for? A new supporter? Or rather a defensive hero?
Were the PC bans for Destiny 2 now unjustified? Bungie explains that some players were inadvertently kicked from the game.
Currently, we are on a rollercoaster ride with Bungie regarding the many bans of PC players in Destiny 2. The community initially thought that Bungie had accidentally banned some players from the game. They were unaware of any wrongdoing.
Then Bungie officially explained: No, no – the bans are justified. This is not automated; we are keeping an eye on it.
However, the tide is turning again: Some bans were supposedly issued by mistake. They have now been lifted.
Destiny 2 bans lifted – Bungie pulls back
As an outsider, one might view the topic “PC bans in Destiny 2” as a comedy.
What happened?
In the first minutes and hours after the release of Destiny 2 on PC (October 24), many hundreds of PC players were banned
Many of them wrote in the Bungie forums and on Reddit that they were banned by mistake. They were unaware of any wrongdoing.
Players were upset by the statement – many are still unaware of any wrongdoing.
New statement from Bungie – There were indeed errors with the bans
Now there has been another update from Bungie during the night of October 26. Apparently, the players were not entirely wrong in stating that they were banned by mistake. Because as Bungie writes on the official website, there were indeed some issues.
“Update: When we reviewed the imposed bans again, we noticed a group of players who were banned due to an error. We have now lifted the bans for these players.
The bans were not issued due to third-party software such as Discord, XSplit, OBS, or RTSS. We will continue to monitor our anti-cheat measures to ensure fair play.“
Patrick says: I’m sorry for what the banned PC players had to go through in the last hours. They started eagerly right at the release of Destiny 2 and were then banned after just a few hours, partially by mistake. It’s good that Bungie has looked at the bans again and checked for correctness. As you can see, it was necessary.
I would be interested in how the erroneous bans occurred. Officially, it is said that Destiny 2 does not issue these bans automatically, but Bungie executes them manually. It would also be interesting to know how large the “group of players” is whose bans have now been lifted.
Patch 7.3.2 of World of Warcraft has brought some changes that Blizzard did not mention. We reveal the secrets!
The update 7.3.2 of World of Warcraft was only a small patch that did not change many gameplay mechanics. Mainly, it was about preparing for the new raid Antorus, the Burning Throne. But there were also a handful of changes that did not appear in the official patch notes, because they were too insignificant for Blizzard or simply forgotten.
Especially mount collectors will be pleased, as the seahorse Poseidus is now easier to access, but the Living Infernal Core from Gul’dan can now also be obtained more easily.
We reveal to you what the patch 7.3.2 has brought in terms of secret changes, that is, Undocumented Changes.
The undocumented changes of patch 7.3.2 in WoW
Quests of the Argus campaign can now be turned in on the Vindikaar, regardless of which of the three zones they are in.
The Moonkin Form of the Archdruid now makes an owl sound instead of a raven’s.
The passive ability Shape Healing of Thisalee Crow (Druid companion) works again.
Some rare mobs with rare mounts, like Poseidus, seem to spawn more frequently. Players report a spawn timer of only 4-6 hours – previously it was several days.
The quest The Immortal Squadron now only requires the elimination of 3 Immortal Squadron Fighters (previously 6).
The mount Living Infernal Core can now also be obtained via Personal Loot in LFR, although this is not mentioned in the Dungeon Journal.
“/Logout” and “/Quit” can no longer be triggered by addons and macros.
The stairs in Mac’Aree can now be ascended normally (no more jumping required).
And the possibly most important and best change for last:
The face tentacles of female Draenei are no longer glued to the neck and do not clip into the body anymore.
These are probably not all changes yet – but all those that have been found by the community so far.
Many Destiny 2 players complain that they have been wrongfully banned on PC. Now Bungie says that these bans did not happen by accident.
The launch of Destiny 2 on PC is not going as smoothly as players had hoped. The good mood is overshadowed by several hundred bans that crashed down on PC players.
In the Bungie forums and on Reddit, complaints from players who “did nothing wrong” and still received a ban piled up. It was assumed that an automatic process was responsible. But now Bungie says: No, no, we looked closely at all the bans. This is how it is!
You could feel the frustration in the community as more and more complaints about bans arose last night. These complaints came from players who were unaware of any wrongdoing and could not understand why they were excluded. At least, that’s what they say.
The emails regarding the bans also did not provide any explanation. Suddenly, they were excluded from Destiny 2, just a few hours (some even minutes) after they had started the game for the first time.
Confusion spread throughout the community. Why were so many accounts banned?
Because Bungie remained silent, players conducted their own investigations and suspected it must be related to third-party software. Bungie officially states that programs with game capture functionality (such as OBS or XSplit) or overlays (like Discord or Mumble) are blocked. However, this should not lead to a ban.
Bungie officially responds: It is not due to third-party software
Bungie now officially contradicts the community theory on the evening of October 25 on the Destiny 2 website. They state that they received many questions regarding bans on the PC version of Destiny 2. They refer to the following facts:
Destiny 2 cannot automatically ban players. Only Bungie itself can ban a player after manual review.
Yesterday (in the first 24 hours after launch), nearly 400 players on PC were banned.
The bans were assigned to players who used tools that pose a threat to the Destiny 2 ecosystem.
Bungie does not issue bans for players using overlays or performance tools like Discord, XSplit, OBS, RTSS, or similar. They have no plans to ban players for this.
Bungie will reverse four of the bans issued during the beta.
In conclusion, Bungie reiterates that they want to keep the game fair for the community.
Many players would likely find it fair if they received an explanation for their ban. This would make it clearer why the players who “really did nothing wrong” suddenly have no access anymore.
Perhaps we will receive further official statements about the nearly 400 bans in the coming days. At least the banned players do not lack public text chat. It doesn’t exist.

Warlocks and Hunters bring skills in Destiny 2 that you should not unlock. We explain to you why this is the case!
Your Guardians have unlockable skills that fundamentally improve your characters. By collecting experience points, you unlock upgrade points that you use to activate these Guardian skills.
Each of these skill trees offers four skills that can be unlocked. Ideally, you should unlock all four skills of a talent tree to get the most out of the respective subclass.
However, there are exceptions to this rule – skills that should not be unlocked because they also come with disadvantages. Find out in our article which skills are involved.
The Hunter has access to two skill trees with his focus Gunslinger:
The Way of the Outlaw grants bonuses to reload speeds and allows the use of an exploding throwing knife.
The Way of the Sniper, which grants various bonuses for precision hits.
The perk Sixfold is located in the talent tree Way of the Outlaw and grants you six shots with the Super ability Golden Gun instead of three. While this may not sound bad at first, it comes with disadvantages.
However, you must accept significant reductions in the duration of the Golden Gun. Activating the perk reduces the duration from 15 seconds to six seconds. Six seconds in which you must hit as many targets as possible.
Let’s look at the impact of this perk for both PvE and PvP content:
PvE – With the Sixfold perk, you can deal considerable damage to a boss. “Unfortunately”, the Hunter has access to the Celestial Nighthawk – an exotic helmet that grants only one shot with the Golden Gun but deals immense damage (even more than with the Sixfold skill). If you play with the Celestial Nighthawk, you are better off with the Way of the Sniper, as critical hits with the skill Marked for Death deal more damage. The Sixfold skill is unnecessary.
PvP – The Way of the Outlaw is a great build for multiplayer mode in itself; the Chain of Sorrow affects reload speed, and the exploding knife is also helpful. Additionally, your hit chance with the Golden Gun increases. Unfortunately, you won’t see six opponents that you can take down with the Golden Gun in six seconds. The perk is a complete waste in PvP.
The Sixfold skill thus brings you no advantage against computer-controlled enemies or human players. Since the Way of the Outlaw is still a good build in PvP, we advise against unlocking the Sixfold perk.
The Hunter has another ability that you should preferably not activate. The subclass Nighthawk brings the following talent trees:
The Way of the Trapper specializes in confusing enemies and the ability to approach them unnoticed.
The Way of the Pathfinder offers support abilities and strong area control.
The perk Möbius Quiver is located in the Way of the Pathfinder. The perk description states that quick shots can be fired with the Shadowshot and deal significant damage to tethered targets.
This doesn’t sound bad at first. However, there is an exotic “problem” related to this perk called Orpheus Rig. These exotic boots recharge your ability energy with each tethered enemy. If you hit 7-8 enemies simultaneously, your Super is immediately ready to use again.
As an added bonus, you can generate a large number of Orbs of Light for your allies in a short time. The Orpheus Rig boots are rightfully considered one of the best exotic armor pieces for the Hunter.
Unfortunately, the Möbius Quiver perk makes the boots nearly useless. Because the exotic perk of the boots is only activated once you have fired your last arrow.
Since you will have already taken down enemies with the other arrows, the boots no longer provide the bonuses that would have been possible. An additional disadvantage of the perk is that the duration of your Super is reduced. Since the other perks of the Way of the Pathfinder are quite useful for PvE content, you should not activate the Möbius Quiver!
The Warlock also struggles with a skill that has a rather negative impact on gameplay. Those who play with the Voidwalker focus of the Warlock can choose from the following skill sets:
Chaos Reach focuses on enhancing your abilities,
Devour drastically improves your survivability.
The perk Catastrophe in the skill set Chaos Reach transforms the Nova Bomb into a slowly flying projectile that splits into smaller, homing projectiles upon impact. Sounds good at first, but in practice, it proves to be extremely disadvantageous:
PvE – You always want to detonate a Nova Bomb when as many enemies as possible can be hit. If the Nova Bomb flies slowly, the group may have spread out by then. The Nova Bomb and the resulting projectiles can get stuck on corners and doors – especially a problem with mobile enemies and bosses.
PvP – Players can run away from the Nova Bomb and hide. The special form of the Super is completely useless here.
The rest of the skill tree is quite interesting. You can enhance your grenades with Super energy. Your melee attacks recharge your grenades, and Void kills cause enemies to explode. A great offensive orientation is countered by the slow Nova Bomb.
It’s a pity that Bungie has introduced skills into the game that are rather disadvantageous even in combination with exotic armors. We hope that Bungie improves these abilities in future updates to increase the incentive to use them.
Note: Once you have upgraded a skill with an upgrade point, this cannot be undone.
Which skills do you play with? Have you unlocked the abilities mentioned here?

Warframe is currently experiencing a boom thanks to the new update Plains of Eidolon and can showcase impressive numbers. Over 30 million registered players on Steam alone have already spent more than 40 million hours slaughtering clones, mutants, and corporate lackeys! Furthermore, Warframe is currently the second largest Free2Play game on Steam.
Warframe has always had a dedicated core player base that has loyally and enthusiastically played this space-ninja loot shooter. However, since the release of the open-world update Plains of Eidolon, the game from 2013 has reached new heights of popularity. Shortly after the Eidolon launch, for example, the gangster epic GTA 5 was surpassed on Steam by Warframe.
New record for concurrent players on Steam alone – Many players are returning!
Meanwhile, the number of “Concurrent Users” in Warframe has grown from the last peak of 117,747 to an even prouder 121,377 players.
This doubles Warframe’s peak player numbers since the last record for the release of the fun music Warframe Oktavia. Now, according to developer Digital Extremes, Warframe is currently the second largest Free2Play game on Steam.
Rank number 1 is still held by the MOBA DotA 2 with a peak of 1.2 million concurrent players.
The new numbers also indicate that the now over 30 million registered gamers in Warframe have already spent 40,145,054 million hours in the game since its launch in 2013. Just on Steam! This corresponds to:
1,672,710 days
or 139,392 months
or 11,616 years!
Enough players at any time
Thanks to the large player base, Warframe is particularly enjoyable right now. At any time, players can be found, and there is always something going on. Whether grinding through the planets to complete cool quests, closing void fissures for loot, or hunting giant monsters on the Plains of Eidolon, you can always count on teammates.
Niantic has officially confirmed that something is set to change with the invitations for EX-Raids in Pokémon GO. Many trainers were unhappy with the system and found it unfair.
The exclusive raids in Pokémon GO offer trainers special battles. You can only participate in the EX-Raids if you have been invited. Then you have the chance to battle a rare monster and, if you’re lucky, capture it. Currently, it is Mewtwo.
However, the system still has its drawbacks and is seen as unfair by many trainers. Due to player feedback, there are now changes to the invitations.
Received EX-Raid Invitation – This is set to change
On Twitter, Niantic’s support confirmed that the team wants to “improve the invitations”. Based on community feedback, the developers aim to enhance the system.
Trainers, thank you for your feedback on EX Raid Battles. We’re working to improve the invitation system based on what we heard from you.
It is currently unclear what “improving the invitations” means. It is assumed that more trainers will be invited to the EX-Raids in the future. There has been much criticism from players in recent weeks.
The biggest criticism of the current EX-Raid system is the element of chance. No one really understands what Niantic is doing and how the invitations are distributed. Hardcore players and casuals alike report missing invitations.
The only requirement for an invitation to the EX-Raids was that trainers must have completed a successful raid battle in the respective arena where the EX-Raid takes place.
The EX-Raids currently have many weaknesses
Initially, the exclusive raids sounded good in Niantic’s announcement. Trainers were excited that they could finally catch rare Pokémon like Mewtwo. However, there has been increasing criticism in recent weeks due to the rarity of invitations.
There are many aspects that Niantic could and should improve about the system. Greater transparency would likely be best so that trainers can understand and fulfill the requirements. Waiting for a random invitation is simply not fun.
To implement these changes, players do not need a new update. Niantic can solve this on the server side. Therefore, we hope that the next invitations will reach a broader audience of trainers.
Do you think a revision would be helpful, or should the EX-Raid system be abolished altogether?
The early access phase of Brawlhalla is now over. The Free2Play fighting game in the style of Super Smash Bros. is now officially released for PC and PlayStation 4 and is available for everyone to play for free.
Since October 17, Brawlhalla has finally exited beta and has attracted over 7 million players so far. Currently, according to Steam, there are up to 8,000 concurrent players online brawling in the 2D fighting game.
Free “Super Smash Bros.” Alternative
Brawlhalla is reminiscent of Nintendo’s fighting game Super Smash Bros., as various heroes brawl on arena maps. The cool thing: The game uses a Free2Play model. It is therefore accessible for free to everyone and can be tried out immediately on Steam. There are a total of 35 heroes, of which up to 6 are free to play each week. These free heroes rotate weekly, so there is plenty of variety. If a player particularly likes a hero, they can purchase it and add it permanently to their collection. Skins are available for a small fee, but are purely cosmetic.
This is the same model as in League of Legends.
Currently, there is also a package available for 20 Euros that includes all current and future heroes.
Fight with Your Team
Once you have chosen a champion, it’s time to jump into the action. In the arenas, up to 8 players can fight, either in teams or in a “free for all” mode. As in Super Smash Bros., items like swords or guns appear on the map after some time.
There is also a wide variety of game modes. Whether you play as a duo, four, or alone, there is something for everyone. Once you have warmed up a bit, you can compete in ranked modes and climb the leaderboard. There is even a training room where you can practice combos and attacks.
Positive Reviews on Steam
If you take a look at the reviews on Steam, they are very positive.
Currently, there are about 46,000 positive and 7,000 negative reviews. Many players appreciate the fair Free2Play system. The friendly community is also frequently mentioned. Users also value the easy entry. In Brawlhalla, you dive straight into the action without needing to read the user manual first.

Fans of Star Wars Battlefront II will have to be patient on PS4. PC and Xbox One are getting an early start.
In a few weeks, the launch of Star Wars: Battlefront II is coming. Unlike its predecessor, this game not only attracts with extensive multiplayer modes but also features an exciting story from the Empire’s perspective. You can find out how our Jürgen is looking forward to it in this article.
However, the fun does not begin on all platforms simultaneously. While the official release of the game is set for November 17, pre-orders on PS4, Xbox One, and PC can start as early as November 14, if they have pre-ordered the “Elite Trooper Deluxe Edition.”
For players on Xbox One and PC, it can start even earlier – already from November 9!
Battlefront II on Xbox One and PC starting November 9
The reason for this difference is a special offer from EA. On PC, there is the premium service Origin Access and on Xbox One EA Access. For currently €3.99 per month, customers receive certain benefits for accessing and purchasing EA titles.
For Battlefront II, this means a 5-day early access to the game. Starting November 9, you can participate in the “Play First Trial” with Origin Access and EA Access and play the game without having to pre-order.
Unlike before, this early access does not seem to be limited to 10 hours. If you want, you can just play for 5 full days and check out the Star Wars shooter without having to buy it.
Update: Apparently a notice has now appeared for players indicating that the game will only be playable for 10 hours. The situation is not entirely clear yet.
However, it is questionable whether this “Play First Trial” will also include the single-player campaign. Because that will only last a few hours and could be the sole reason for some players to purchase.
So far, no such service has been offered by EA for the PlayStation 4. Therefore, players on Sony’s console will have to wait a bit longer. They can start playing as early as November 14, if they have pre-ordered the Elite Trooper Deluxe Edition.
Otherwise, anyone interested can purchase the game on November 17 in the standard version and play it on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
What do you think about this disadvantage for PS4 players? Should one just get used to it or should EA slowly bring a similar program to the PS4?
Halloween also means for the MMORPG Albion Online that you can participate in a spooky event that promises many rewards.
Until November 15, the event takes place, during which you should collect pumpkin seeds fitting for the season. You can find these in monster camps, in chests, or you get them as rewards for fights in the arena. Additionally, you can find locked pumpkins during expeditions, which also contain the seeds.
Get the Halloween rewards!
You then use the pumpkin seeds to exchange them for Halloween rewards. These include:
A selection of various pumpkin heads (smiling/sad/angry)
A Plague Doctor outfit (Medical mask, Medical coat, Medical boots)
A skeleton costume (Laughing skull, Chest, Leg bones, Torn cloak)
The Jack o’Donkey
And the ultimate reward, the Horse Macabre
Spooky decor in the fantasy world
During the Halloween event, you will experience the cities in the fantasy world spooky decorated. This is meant to get you in the right mood to celebrate the event with your friends. Additionally, the world currently shines in autumn attire, and the leaves of the trees in the cities are brightly colored. Throughout the autumn, more events are expected to take place in the MMORPG Albion Online.
In Destiny 2, the Nightfall this week is the weapons dealer. Here are tips on how to master the strike in no time.
When Destiny 2 released on PS4 and Xbox One in early September, the first Nightfall was “The Arms Dealer.” Now, a month and a half later, just in time for the PC launch, the Arms Dealer is once again the Nightfall. This time, however, with different modifiers.
The Modifiers and Challenges of the Arms Dealer this week
In the Arms Dealer strike, you will face the Cabal. Your goal is to defeat the big boss “Bracus Tynoc”.
The modifiers:
Rush: Abilities recharge faster. Use them to crush your enemies.
Time Loop:Zero Hour: The mission timer cannot be extended. You start with 20 minutes or 16 minutes (Prestige).
The challenges in the Nightfall:
Complete the Nightfall with at least 5 minutes remaining.
Complete the Nightfall with fewer than 3 deaths.
Defeat a reaver while fighting Bracus Tynoc.
Tips for the Nightfall “The Arms Dealer”
This week, we have pleasant modifiers. This Nightfall should therefore not pose too great of a challenge.
The most important tip: Use your grenades! In PvE, especially pulse grenades are powerful. For example, choose the Striker Titan.
and take a build that gives you an additional grenade charge. For the Striker, this is the Code of the Earthshaker. Thanks to the Rush modifier, you can almost constantly throw grenades. Is an enemy with a shield approaching? No problem! Throw one or two grenades at their feet, and they are defeated. Therefore: Use your grenades constantly!
Bring rocket launchers for the boss, for the tanks, and for heavy enemies.
Once the charge becomes available in the early phase, grab it immediately, fly over the spawning enemies, and dunk it into the exhaust shaft. In this area, you only need to defeat the lieutenant, the “Exile Thrower.” Once he is dead, you can proceed.
Because of the “Time Loop: Zero Hour” modifier, you cannot afford to waste time. Do not spend too long on enemies that you do not need to defeat. After the lieutenant, you can also run past. Then jump on a Sparrow outside and quickly drive into the ship to the tank.
This way, you should have enough time to deal with the final boss at your leisure. Throw everything you have at him.

What is the TOTW in FIFA 18 Ultimate Team?
Every Wednesday, EA Sports reveals the Team of the Week in their annual football simulation’s “Ultimate Team” mode. This also applies to FIFA 18. In this case, players who performed outstandingly in real football in the past week are rewarded with special cards that have improved attributes.
You can pull the TOTW cards within a week from the packs that may contain Rare (Gold) players. However, the chance of this is considered low. Additionally, it is possible for you to purchase them on the transfer market if they are offered by other players. However, the prices are usually extremely high.
