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.
Nexxoss Gaming shows you in the video how to complete the Prestige Nightfall with two minutes remaining:

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.

There is currently a curious bug in WoW that might bring a lot of gold to some players. The Legendary Tokens are tradable!
The latest patch of World of Warcraft is live. Update 7.3.2 has brought few changes, such as additional game data for the raid Antorus, the Burning Throne. Additionally, there were some changes to the Legendary system. If a player already has all legendary items with their character, they can still receive additional legendary items.
While there are no duplicate items, there are “Tokens” for another class. These are bound to the account and can then be sent to characters of the corresponding class. At least, that’s the official plan.
Tradable Legendaries in Raids and Groups
However, it seems a bug has crept into the patch. If such a Token is dropped by a boss during a raid or dungeon, the same exchange rules apply to this Token as for regular loot.
In plain terms: The legendary Tokens can be passed to other players in the same raid group for up to 2 hours!
This at least opens the door to trading legendary items, although it is of course difficult to plan when such an item will actually drop.
Whether this is truly a bug or intended to help other players in the raid guild is still unanswered. Since the items were meant to be bound only to the account, we assume this is a bug in the game.
Presumably, the problem will be fixed in a few hours with a hotfix.
Warframe is a fast-paced yet complex game that confuses many newcomers at first. However, the developers have recognized a handful of particularly dedicated players as official “Guides of the Lotus” who will take care of all your questions. You can also meet the Guides in forums or on Discord.
Warframe is most fun when you go hunting with three other Space Ninjas and slice through enemies at a terrifying pace. This way, you can accomplish even tough missions in a flash and face a real challenge with bosses. And the vast world of the Plains of Eidolon is even more fun as a team!
It’s unfortunate when everything doesn’t go well because you have little knowledge of the game and are stuck in starter regions with lousy gear, overwhelmed by the many possibilities of the complex shooter.
Help for Newcomers – The Official “Guides of the Lotus”
Despite its intuitive gameplay, Warframe is a complex game with numerous functions, features, and mechanisms that are unfortunately barely explained.
The developers are also aware of this, and therefore they have launched a cool program. To help new players and to generally provide assistance, there are selected players who are allowed to call themselves “Guides of the Lotus.”
The Guides are particularly accomplished players who have at least 800 hours of Warframe experience and know the game very well. They have official insignias awarded by Digital Extremes on their Warframes and are available when you need help in the game. But where can you meet the Guides and how can you contact them?
You can meet the Guides in the game, but it is more likely that you will encounter them on the large German Discord server for Warframe. There you will find players of all experience levels, people from the German Wiki, and even developers or the German “Guides of the Lotus.”
If you often struggle to find teammates or need help, then feel free to check out the large German Discord Community of Warframe.
They contacted us at Mein MMO and asked: Send people who are looking for help and connection there. We look forward to them!
There you can reach out both in writing and in voice channels and quickly find teammates or answers to your questions. Additionally, Guides and Alerts from the game are also posted there. So if there is particularly cool loot somewhere, you will find out about it there quickly.
The best talents in the career mode of FIFA 18 can be found here in the overview list. We present cheap, inexpensive, and young talents with great potential sorted by all positions. Which talents stand out in attack, which are the best talents in midfield, and which in defense? And what hidden gems, what secret talents, are available for under 2 million or even under 1 million?
In the career mode of FIFA 18, there are many new features. Among the most important innovations are the interactive transfer negotiations where you now directly interact with managers and players. You must negotiate contracts, salaries, and transfer fees with a dynamic AI to strategically strengthen your club with fresh talent.
Particularly sought after are the young talents with great potential who can develop into megastars during the career. However, in FIFA 18, there are not only the well-known top talents like Marcus Rashford or Martin Ødegaard, who are pursued by half the world, but also some hidden gems that are cheap to acquire and have a bright future ahead.

The development of talents takes a lot of time. If you rely on young talents, you won’t have an elite team right away but a team with great potential. Only after a few seasons will these young players show what they are really capable of.
If you want, you can then sell them for multiples of the purchase price.
If you are looking for more talents, you can send scouts into the game to look for young players. They will send you reports with interesting talents. Good – and expensive – scouts can better assess potential than cheap scouts. Set specific search criteria like age and grab strong talents at a good price.
You can find top talents in all countries. These countries are particularly well suited for certain positions:
Goalkeepers: Germany, Netherlands, Spain, or Italy
Defenders: England, Brazil, or Germany
Midfielders: Argentina, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Brazil, or England
Forwards: Italy, Germany, France, Netherlands, Argentina, Spain, or Brazil
Two more tips:
Scouts are particularly effective in their home country
Don’t strike immediately. The longer the observation period, the fewer “nasty surprises” you will have.
In Destiny 2, there are no public text chats. This seems to be an effort to avoid the well-known spam from MMO games. The community is calling for a different solution.
In MMOs, general chats are often found where everyone can communicate with each other. You don’t have to be in a group for this. Usually, it’s enough to play on the same servers.
These public chats are often used by trolls to spam aimlessly and annoy other players. On the other hand, public chats in multiplayer games are important for communication with other players.
In Destiny 2, there is not even a public text chat. Chatting is done within the fireteam.
First, you can only talk to the fireteam
Bungie consciously opts out of a general text chat. In a statement to PCGamesN, PC Project Lead David Shaw explained that you can only talk to people from the fireteam for now.
“This setting created an unusual MMO feeling for the players,” Shaw explains. “It was now difficult to annoy other players. The worst thing that happened to me was when a player followed me around the tower for 20 minutes. And that was only moderately annoying,”
You must manually join the chat with the fireteam. However, you can set this to “Automatic” in the gameplay options.
Through the text chat, you can also whisper to other players – this is the direct messaging feature in Battlenet. However, this is only possible if those players are in your clan or fireteam or on your friends list.
This is, according to the developers, another way to avoid toxic comments from other players. They can’t reach you without direct contact.
Community dissatisfied – Wants the public chat
From the developers’ perspective, the renouncement of the public text chat is only partially understandable. They want to avoid toxic behavior. However, parts of the community are dissatisfied with the decision. On Reddit, user Bistoory writes:
“You can’t be serious, Bungie? This is an online game and we need to communicate with other players who are not on our friends list or belong to our clan. You make it hard for solo players who don’t have the time or desire for a clan.”
Bistoory suggests that the public channel should be activated but players should have the option to leave it. This way, players at least have a choice and can make their own decision. Additionally, annoying players can still be ignored.
Do you wish for a public text chat for Destiny 2, or is it not that important to you?
EVE Online fans have new tasks to tackle, as CCP Games has released the Lifeblood expansion.
The centerpiece of the expansion are the refineries. These offer you the opportunity to mine resources more effectively. The massive industrial platforms must be constructed like space stations and then grant you expanded options to mine on moons. To do this, you blast large sections out of a moon, creating an asteroid field for your mining fleet to search for resources.
Pirate Attacks and Resource Wars
However, this attracts pirates who see a lucrative business opportunity and will attack you and your refinery. Moreover, it’s not just you who wants to mine the valuable resources, but also other players. This can lead to ongoing conflicts that may escalate into full-blown resource wars. Your cargo ships filled with ore are not safe – neither from other players nor from pirates.
The Lifeblood expansion introduces the following in EVE Online:
Newly balanced frigates, destroyers, and cruisers.
Participation in short-term, cooperative gameplay in resource wars.
The new tool “The Agency” provides an easy scanning option for nearby PvE activities.
Moon mining promotes teamwork among players. Moreover, mining leads to new gameplay variants, including miners or fighters, defenders or attackers.
The sudden emergence of Guristas Shipyards and the new ships Caiman, Loggerhead, and Komodo bring high-level challenges.
Other innovations include mining registers and bets on duels.
The Gameplay Changes
The Lifeblood expansion brings several changes to the MMORPG. On the one hand, mining is now significantly more interesting, as cooperation is actively encouraged. Additionally, trade routes are now less safe due to increased pirate activities, and freighters can be attacked at any time. Furthermore, rival factions are fighting over the resources, which can lead to massive wars, as one often sees in EVE Online.
The extraction of resources can change the power dynamics in the cluster entirely. The goals of individual players are more quickly attainable, and the changes to the industrial system due to resource extraction alter the gameplay. Newcomers get more opportunities from the start, and even established factions can come under pressure if they let control over the new resources slip into the hands of other parties. Players will have to adjust to these changes.

It may surprise you, but: Halloween is just around the corner. To celebrate, for instance, you can dress up as a ghost and throw eggs against house walls, or, even better, compete in a friendly PVP duel in a scare game like here in Hide and Shriek! It has recently become free to play.
Hide and Shriek was released by the developer and publisher Funcom back in Halloween 2016 and has so far received mostly positive user reviews on Steam. No wonder: Funcom has proven its expertise in horror elements with The Secret World.
The fact that Hide and Shriek “just so happens” to take place in the same universe as Secret World Legends is the icing on the cake. So let’s take a closer look at this lesser-known gem.
At night, you sneak through the lonely school as an invisible entity. The goal: to scare your opponent to death in the literal sense. For this purpose, you set traps, use spells, and create jump scares; for example, by positioning yourself in strategically advantageous spots and, preferably adorned with a mask of Donald Trump, jumping out at your opponent or screaming at them.
Of course, you must not be discovered yourself and should collect as many points and runes as possible. At the end of the ten-minute duel, these could be extremely important! The horror trip is particularly fun with a friend, with the curtains drawn and wearing headphones.

Of course, I couldn’t resist and took my first steps into the high school of horror myself. I really like the graphics, and the atmosphere is well conveyed, as long as you’re not talking about unicorns via Teamspeak. Personally, I would wish for more maps for longer-lasting fun. Overall, it’s a really delightful game for the darkening season! And: Finally, I can scare friends from my old home without having to take the train!
At the same time, things are also frightening in Secret World Legends. The Samhain Event is still ongoing until October 31st. If you log in during this time, you have a chance to win cool mounts and other rewards like pets and costumes. Many items are exclusively available only during this time.
This didn’t go well: A few minutes after the PC launch of Destiny 2, the good mood collapsed. Surprising bans kicked players from the game. The community suspects that overlays from Discord, MSI Afterburner, or other software are to blame. But according to Bungie, that cannot be the case.
On October 24 around 7:00 PM German time, the gates to Destiny 2 on PC opened. Now the popular MMO shooter is officially available on the PC platform, and new players are experiencing its atmosphere for the first time.
At least that was the plan for the many players who, unfortunately, can no longer enter the game. They were banned. An anti-cheat measure roughly sorted the gamers. Too roughly? Many feel unjustly banned and are aware of no wrongdoing.
Update: The support page of Battle.net has been updated on this issue. “All account suspensions and restrictions in Destiny 2 are determined and enforced by Bungie and cannot be contested.” It subsequently refers to the Bungie article on policies and account suspensions. You can find it here.
Bans due to Afterburner or Discord? Bungie says ‘Bullshit!’
After many players were banned yesterday following the Destiny 2 launch on PC, they shared their problems on Reddit and in the official Bungie forum. The community’s theory is that players are banned from Destiny 2 because they used game capture software (like OBS) or overlays (like from Discord).
Bungie officially stated back in September that some streaming programs like OBS or XSplit are incompatible with Destiny 2 in their game capture modes. Overlays for voice chats like Mumble or Discord are also blocked. Even FPS and stats displays like through MSI Afterburner or Fraps are not compatible with the game.
These programs are not allowed because they could insert code into the game client. Out of fear of cheating, the overlay functions and hardware monitoring do not work in Destiny 2.
Could this perhaps be the reason for the many bans? Players’ carelessness in having this software activated in the background?
Community is angry!
In the forums, complaints about bans have been increasing since the launch. More and more threads are appearing in which players accuse Bungie of banning them for carelessly using software.
The problem is that there is no reason given in the emails that notify players about their ban. Even Blizzard support has no insight into the ban reason and can only refer to Bungie’s support, as player Shugazer writes in the forum.
In the forum, mentor “Kellogs” addresses the issues and explains that third-party software that is incompatible with Destiny 2 is blocked. This could simply prevent the game from running. However, there should not be a ban for that.
Bungie says ‘That’s Internet Bullshit!’
In response to the question of whether there are still restrictions for overlays after the beta, project lead David Shaw writes on Twitter: We block programs that want to infiltrate our game with their code. That’s how most overlays work. However, we do not issue bans for that. That’s internet bullshit.

If it’s not the overlays or game captures that are causing the bans, then what is? This question is now on the minds of many players in the community.
On Reddit, user Deomicanth writes that he bought a new gaming laptop for Destiny 2. The laptop only had Windows (+ updates), the Battle.net software, and Destiny 2. His ban came five minutes after he created his first character. He received no explanation for the ban in the forum.
We are curious whether there will soon be an official explanation from Bungie regarding these issues. Did the ban hammer catch you too?
Update: There is an official statement from Bungie regarding this story:
