In The Division, the PTS for Update 1.8 will soon come to an end. The release of 1.8 is getting closer!
On October 26, the State of the Game aired, and it was different from usual. Besides the regular update report, three developers appeared during the stream, including Massive’s Community Developer Yannick Banchereau, who hasn’t been in front of the camera for a while. They announced today that we will hear more from them soon (starting next week).
They also apologized for the recent silence, explaining that “a lot of crazy stuff” has happened in the past few days and they have been in many workshops.
No concrete information was provided, but it can be inferred: Starting next week, it will be exciting again around The Division!
PTS for Update 1.8 end next week
Next week, the public test servers for Update 1.8 will close:
On Tuesday, October 31, the PTS will end. From then on, you will no longer be able to test the upcoming contents of Update 1.8.
Currently, the PTS Phase 3 is running. It started on October 18 on PC. If you’re wondering: “When will PTS Phase 3 come to consoles?”, here’s the answer: Not at all.You will no longer be able to test the changes of Phase 3 on PS4 and Xbox One beforehand. It would be too cumbersome and take too long to go through the certification process, which is why the PTS is being completely closed and preparations for the 1.8 release are underway.
When Update 1.8 will be released is unknown. In the past, it has been shown that approximately 2 weeks after the end of the PTS phase, it can be expected. That would be around November 14 – but that is not confirmed.
More information from the State of the Game:
Compared to PTS Phase 3, there won’t be any major changes.
The Rogue System 2.0 will come. It will remain pretty much as it was on the PTS. The Rogue Timer will be adjusted a bit, and once it is on the live servers, they will listen to the feedback from the entire community and be able to make adjustments.
The Time-to-Kill in PvP will be looked at. Currently, it takes too long to defeat other agents. The PvP damage modifier will likely be adjusted.
There will be no changes for the secret gear sets, such as the Striker set, which has been heavily discussed.
At the West Side Pier, it is criticized that enemies spawn too quickly. This will be adjusted.
Some Global Event rewards are tied to the paid DLCs. However, you can also obtain the masks without mastering these DLC rewards.
The “Halloween Special Event” that the developers talked about will not be that special. It’s a weekend event with double rewards. They apologize for calling it a “special event” and raising false hopes.

Recently, Destiny 2 is also available for PC. On this occasion, Warframe developer Digital Extremes comments on the competition from Bungie.
Both Bungie and Warframe developer Digital Extremes have now celebrated significant milestones. Bungie released a game from the Destiny series for the first time on PC, while Digital Extremes introduced an open-world zone with the Plains of Eidolon in Warframe.
Digital Extremes Community Producer Rebecca Ford
Comparisons between these two games are inevitable, but according to Digital Extremes Community Producer Rebecca Ford, they are unnecessary. According to Ford, it is an exciting time for a PC player interested in science fiction. Both games could peacefully coexist.
According to Rebecca Ford, it is also less about comparing the two games and more about enjoying the fact that the sci-fi genre is growing on PC. Both games are not in competition with each other, as they pursue different goals.
Warframe has been around for 5 years and has been continuously expanded over time. You can fly with jetpacks, go fishing, or also do mining. Ford emphasizes that Warframe is much more an MMO than a shooter.
For this reason, both games can exist independently of one another, as they take different directions.
There will always be comparisons between Destiny and Warframe
When asked how no competitive thinking can arise amidst all the comparisons and similarities, Ford replied, that one should focus on what makes the games unique. She does not believe that one can fish in Destiny 2 but is sure that there are many things in the Destiny universe that Warframe does not cover.
Of course, the two games will always be compared, as in both cases they are sci-fi games with shooter elements. Much more at the forefront is the fact that PC players with an inclination to science fiction can finally dive into the Destiny universe.
Do you know these comparisons between Warframe and Destiny? What do you think about them?

Black Desert Online is set to arrive on Xbox One and Xbox One X in early 2018. The version for Microsoft’s One X is expected to offer stunning 4K visuals. You can soon admire how good it looks at PAX Aus.
Black Desert Online is a sandbox MMO primarily known for its wonderful graphics. The character editor is already one of the most beautiful we’ve seen in MMOs. Later in the game, you can explore gentle hills, vibrant cities, magnificent underwater worlds, and dark spell forests.
The entire splendor is currently only available to PC players, but the developers at Pearl Abyss are planning a release for Playstation 4 and Xbox One. However, the Microsoft console is prioritized and is expected to receive Black Desert Online in early 2018.
Extra 4K resolution for Xbox One X
But that’s not all; in addition to the “normal” version for the standard Xbox One, there will also be an edition specifically for the upcoming super-console Xbox One X. On the “X”, Black Desert Online will shine in glorious 4K resolution.

A new game from Sword Art Online is on the horizon. But can “Fatal Bullet” ever meet the fans’ wishes?
In recent years, there has hardly been an anime that has excited gamers around the world as much as Sword Art Online.
The anime Sword Art Online takes place in the near future, in the year 2022. The latest generation of video games is on the market and allows players to experience an extended VR experience.
In the anime, players can immerse themselves “completely” in Sword Art Online. They experience, throughnew hardware that can access the brain directly, the perfect illusion of an MMORPG. They see no screen in front of them or “feel” that they are wearing a VR headset. The immersion is perfect. They are part of a large MMORPG. They merge with the game world.
Anime success generates a lot of RPGs
Because the anime became a worldwide success, it didn’t take long before video games were created from the game world. There are already numerous smaller and larger RPGs that have secured the license from SAO. However, most of these games are typically solo RPGs, with at best a small, tacked-on multiplayer mode where a friend controls another group member. At heart, all these games are JRPGs.
In a few months, Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet will be released, set during the story of the second season of the anime, in the shooter MMORPG world of Gun Gale Online. Players experience a “game within a game”. As so often, the focus of the plot is again on mysterious events within the game world. Thus, it happens that players die in reality when their avatar is taken out in the game.

According to the template of the anime, Fatal Bullet is structured like an “MMO shooter RPG”, so shooting action takes center stage with cutesy characters. As a result, the game world is dark, as Gun Gale Online has nothing to do with the colorful Aincrad of the first season.
At least there is a multiplayer mode, where you can either team up in co-op to face special bosses or compete in 4vs4 to prove who the true “Death Gun” of Gun Gale Online is.
However, Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet will also have little to do with a real VR MMO experience.
Anyone who wants to get an impression of the game can play Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet from February 23, 2018 on PC (Steam), PlayStation4 or Xbox One.
A “real” Sword Art Online is still a long way off
Behind the interest in a Sword Art Online video game lies the great desire to be able to “really” dive into the world of Sword Art Online.
And not just as a small MMO experience, but as a “Full Dive”, as depicted in the series. For many players, games are a form of escapism, without wanting to label the word negatively.
Because to switch off from everyday worries and just have a good time without having to think about real-world problems, we play.
Players want to escape reality. They want to sink into a game world for days, maybe weeks, completely free of the usual social obligations or physical needs.
When looking through various forums discussing Sword Art Online passionately, one often sees statements like: “I would trade 20 years of my life for 1 year of Sword Art Online”. What sounds like a typical exaggeration could indeed be meant seriously. After all, what are 20 “average” years of life compared to a year in a world that gamers desire?
And that’s exactly the dilemma of the SAO games. They can only give players a small glimpse into the world of the anime, but – at least not yet – fulfill the underlying desire to dive into a game like that. Therefore, SAO games are doomed to always disappoint to some extent, even if the games are basically quite good.
It will likely be several more years before a “Sword Art Online” game can truly give fans what they long for.
The Destinytracker site will no longer publish daily player numbers for Destiny 2. It painted a false picture of the shooter’s population.
In recent days, declining player numbers for Destiny 2 have been circulating. The numbers come from this thread on reddit, and were then spread through tweets. We did not report on it, but these numbers also appeared in the comments on our articles.
English-speaking and also German-speaking media use the graphs and numbers to depict a certain image of Destiny 2: Destiny 2 as a flop without long-term motivation – a game that has lost as many players in 6 weeks as a Call of Duty loses in 6 months.
The numbers that supported this image originally came from the fan site Destinytracker. There, one can view all sorts of statistics about Destiny. Usually, it’s about which weapons are used in the Crucible or who is leading in the various categories.
Through all this, the site keeps track. It even has values like “ELO” in the program – something that doesn’t actually exist in Destiny, but Destinytracker offers it nonetheless. And of course, player numbers.
Numbers should not be used to cast Destiny 2 in a bad light
However: The site does not appreciate that the numbers regarding the daily player count were used to cast Destiny 2 in such a bad light. Therefore, these numbers will no longer be made available in the future. This was explained by a spokesperson for the project on reddit.
According to Bistoory, the numbers were used to tell a false story about Destiny 2. The statistics are misleading in representing the active player count of Destiny 2 – the daily user numbers are not suitable for that. This applies to all kinds of games.
Not every player plays 24 hours every day. At Destinytracker, they thought that an explanation of the numbers could clarify what the numbers are meant to convey. But apparently, this was irrelevant to those who wanted to tell a certain story about Destiny 2 and took these numbers as proof of being right.
Under the statement on reddit, there are then speculations that Destinytracker had removed the numbers at Bungie’s request.
Statistics confirm the feeling of many: Something is wrong
Mein MMO believes: Player numbers can construct a story of “Oh, it’s going downhill” for any PvE game. That’s how these games are built: During the leveling phase, people play more than when they reach the endgame and fall into a certain routine.
Such games know two phases:
The special part, when new activities and content are available that one engages with -> Here, players play more
The everyday life, in which one follows a certain routine without tackling new content
One knows with these games that there is a sharp decline in playtime when players have completed the story campaign and transition into the everyday phase. This usually happens within the first two to six weeks of a game.
However, with Destiny 2, there are actually difficulties in the endgame, and the numbers highlight this “felt problem” even more. In addition to the “normal drop-off of players” in a PvE game, the unique situation of Destiny 2 is added. It is compared with its predecessor.
In Destiny 1, many found motivation to replay existing activities multiple times.
In Destiny 2, this motivation is not as strong. Furthermore, there is much criticism of the new PvP.
The misleading numbers therefore correspond with the feelings of the critics and seem to confirm what critics are already thinking: Destiny 2 is bad. People are quitting left and right. Bungie faces the consequences of having made a bad game.
However: Even if Destiny 2 were running perfectly, the numbers would still decline and drop because the routine has set in.
Who is a Destiny player and who is not?
The question is: “What distinguishes a Destiny 2 player?”
Is it someone who spends time in the game every day?
Is it someone who only does activities once a week?
Or is it even someone who no longer plays Destiny 2 but still keeps informed about the game and plans to rejoin when new content comes out or changes are made?
The “daily player numbers” answer this question in a certain way – this can be seen as misleading. A discussion about the problems of Destiny 2 is right and important – however, arguments should be at the forefront, not such statistics.
More about the problems of Destiny 2 and how Bungie wants to respond:
The most famous “weapon” in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is a frying pan. With it, you can smash your enemies and also protect yourself. It all stems from a misunderstanding and carelessness!
The story of the pan in PUBG is a tale full of misunderstandings and carelessness!
The pan wasn’t supposed to be in the game!
PUBG is a battle royale game, and this genre was inspired by the book (and later film) Battle Royale. In it, students slaughter each other on a deserted island as part of a cruel government program. PUBG creator Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene is a huge fan of this movie. That’s why he also created battle royale mods for ARMA as well as the game H1Z1: King of the Kill.
The influence of the battle royale film is therefore omnipresent in PUBG:
The size of the island resembles that in the film
There is a lighthouse
There are weapons like the crossbow and the sickle
Some costumes resemble the school uniforms of the students
But one of Greene’s favorite scenes from the film is the part where an unlucky student pulls a frying pan from his weapon crate while the rest of the class gets proper weapons like rifles and pistols. The only problem is that this scene doesn’t exist in the film at all! The poor student Shuya doesn’t even get a frying pan; he only gets a pot lid!
“Hey boss, the frying pan doesn’t appear in the movie at all!”
But before someone pointed out to Greene with the words “You do know the frying pan doesn’t appear in that damn movie?” he had already integrated the frying pan into the game! Not only that, Greene loved the frying pan so much that it was the absolute strongest weapon in the PUBG alpha.
The frying pan could even take down players wearing tier-3 armor with a single hit! Those times are now over, but the frying pan still outperforms every other melee weapon in damage potential!
Developers slacked off, which is why the frying pan is indestructible!
So, the frying pan was now in the game and popular in close combat. However, Greene wanted a feature that would allow you to knock grenades out of the air with the frying pan like tennis balls. For this, a separate collision system for the frying pan needed to be created.
So, one evening, Greene sat down with his programmer Marek Krasowski, and the two of them had a little fun with the game code and actually created a feature that allowed the frying pan to function as a grenade bat.
Although it was very difficult to pull off such a stunt, it worked. The two were satisfied and called it a day because the next morning a major update went live, and PUBG had only been in early release for a week.
“The super frying pan is now in the live version?”
The next morning, Greene woke up and saw an article stating that “frying pans in PUBG can save your ass.” Apparently, Greene and Krasowski had unknowingly messed with the code of the live update version of PUBG with their frying pan shenanigans. This version of the game was online, and the frying pan was now an indestructible, grenade-deflecting super weapon in the game.
They wanted to fix this “bug” soon, but it turned out that players were having so much fun with the frying pan. Therefore, they left it as it was and turned the bug into a feature.
Without the frying pan, PUBG wouldn’t be the game it is today!
And now, many months later, the frying pan is the ultimate PUBG symbol and hardly can be imagined to be removed from the game. What would have happened if Brendan Greene had paid more attention to the battle royale film, and if they hadn’t slacked off during that update? PUBG would not be as cool as it is today, that’s for sure!
The arena brawler Battlerite recently got a new game mode called “Battlegrounds”. However, many players are not enjoying it and are upset that the new mode seems to have displaced another popular game mode.
Battlerite is an arena brawler from Stunlock Studios. In Battlerite, you choose a hero with unique skills at the start of the round, just like in a MOBA, and compete against an enemy team with one or more teammates. You control your hero with WASD and the goal is simply to kill the enemy team within a short time.
It purely comes down to skill, and after a few minutes, a match is over. In Battlerite, you only play fast-paced team fights and leave out all the bulky MOBA stuff like minions, creeps, or towers.
But then a new game mode came in, which in the eyes of many players made everything more complicated and less enjoyable…
MOBA mode unwanted!
The newly introduced game mode “Battlegrounds” resembles more a MOBA like Heroes of the Storm. Like in certain HotS maps, you must capture mission objectives here to get the chance to attack the enemy core. If the core is destroyed, the team that was supposed to defend it loses.
Many players do not like the new mode. To them, it is just a soulless HotS copy and also lasts on average 15 minutes, much longer than the short and action-packed arena battles that were previously the only game mode available.
“But who cares,” some of you might think. “They can just keep playing the arena mode!” Well, that no longer seems to be quite so easy. According to the statements of many users on Reddit, Steam, and the Battlerite forum, the new Battlegrounds mode seems to have displaced the regular casual arena mode.
If you just want to play a few rounds, you now have to play the ranked mode. The arena mode is still present there. However, ranked has so far been intended for dedicated players, and now every beginner plays there, and no one has the opportunity to test a new hero or new tactics in peace in the casual mode before going into ranked.
Players ignite shitstorm, want old mode back!
Therefore, many players are really angry and the forums and Reddit threads are burning with the players’ rage! On Steam, where Battlerite is still doing well, lately only negative reviews are coming in.
However, players would indeed accept the new mode as a supplement. But not as an alternative new casual game mode without a choice! It remains to be seen how the developers will react and whether the situation will change soon.
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.
