Artifact power is a particularly valuable resource in World of Warcraft as it strengthens the character (or their weapon) piece by piece.
Since the release of Patch 7.3 “Return to Argus,” players have had a way to buy artifact power for gold – from other players!
The sought-after item was the “Carefully Hidden Muffin” from the rare mob “Feasel the Muffinthief” in Mac’Aree. This could be sold at the auction house or traded in the old-fashioned way. Using the muffin granted a buff and either one of two gray items or a token for artifact power.
This way, one could – at least to some extent – “buy” artifact power.
The artifact power bonus was not very substantial and the random component of the muffin meant that one could spend a lot of gold without gaining a real advantage.
Hotfix patch resolves muffin issue
A hotfix that went live with maintenance on 04.10.2017 has now changed this. Here are the full patch notes:
Argus
A bug was fixed where players could not turn in the Envoy quest of the Army of Light because Defender Jaelaana was not present.
Classes
Paladin
Removing Thrays Chain immediately ends the effects of Wrathful Retribution and Crusade.
Priest
Holy
The healing of the spell Guardian Spirit should now be more reliable when the target takes damage from multiple sources.
Items
The Carefully Hidden Muffin is now soulbound upon pickup.
Player versus Player
The cooldowns of the abilities of Vindikaar are no longer finished when entering a battleground or arena.
Some of these changes, such as the soulbound muffins, have already been activated in recent days and have only now officially made it into the patch notes.

Introducing: Iron Man
If you’ve always wanted to look like a disguised Tony Stark, now you can – with the “Special Iron Man” suit!
In Path of Fire, the second expansion for Guild Wars 2, there is a fifth, secret mount in addition to the four regular mounts. By now, however, many players have discovered this mount and massive swarms of griffons darken the sky!
With Path of Fire, Guild Wars 2 has received a new expansion. A major highlight in it is the new mounts, which serve you well in the form of Raptor, Skimmer, Springer, and Warclaw. However, the crafty foxes at ArenaNet have also incorporated the griffon as a secret fifth mount into the game.
However, the cat griffon is out of the bag, and more and more players are getting this flapping beast.
Griffon mounts for everyone!
If you’re currently visiting the large city of Lion’s Arch, you should have no phobia of flapping creatures. Because it’s swarming with wings, beaks, and furry ears. The reason is the many griffons that are now cavorting in the game.
Over 25,000 specimens of the once secret flying mount have been discovered and tamed by resourceful players. The griffon was not announced apart from the mini-teaser in the group image of the mounts, and players had to figure out on their own how to obtain the creature.
Guild Wars lead is proud of players for griffon secrecy
In the forum, lead designer Mike O’Brien expressed his joy about the griffon influx. O’Brien especially praised that players respected spoiler warnings and did not wildly spread griffon knowledge.
This way, players could also find the griffon on their own and were not heavily influenced. Initially, on Saturday, September 23, there had only been 349 griffons. By Friday, September 29, there were already over 25,000. Probably, there are now even more griffons on the move. Therefore, a spoiler warning is no longer necessary; the winged creatures are hardly overlooked now.
Have you found your griffon yet? Let us know in the comments.

In this free kick tutorial for FIFA 18, you will quickly learn how to shoot perfect free kicks. Whether it’s curlers or “running over the ball” free kicks, you can immediately replicate and practice these tips. We also highlight the best free kick takers in the game and from the Bundesliga.
If not much works during the game, you still have set pieces to turn the match in your favor. Strong free kick takers can win the game single-handedly if you create a good position for them.
However, you first need to master the correct free kick technique in FIFA 18 to make the ball hit the net. We show you some of the best free kick methods and provide the button combinations for PS4 and Xbox One.
Free Kicks Over the Wall – The Classic Curler Free Kick
In this variant of the free kick, which is the most common and popular in the community, you shoot the ball over the wall so that it dips into the goal. It is not too difficult to execute and can be reliably applied with a little practice. A distance of 16-27 meters from the goal is recommended.
Choose a right-footed shooter from the right side and a left-footed shooter from the left side. The player should have high free kick precision and curl values (ideally over 80), which you can view in the top right of the screen (by pressing “Change Shooter”). Shot power is not too important. The less shot power the player has, the longer you need to charge the shot bar.
The most challenging part is aiming, meaning the alignment that you set with the left stick. This always depends on the position from which you are shooting. In this example, the right post should be approximately in the middle of the wall:
Now simply hold the left stick upwards and charge the shot button (circle on PS4 or B on Xbox One) to about one and a half to two bars of shot power.
Once you’re on the alignment, this free kick is no problem. Practice with your free kick taker in the training arena to get a feel for it.
Power Free Kick in FIFA 18
The power free kick is useful for scoring goals from greater distances. 25-40 meters are possible. It is executed similarly to the classic curler free kick.
Choose a free kick taker with strong shot power, free kick, and curl values. Right side a right footer, left side a left footer.
Now move your shooter back with the right stick to gain more momentum.
When aiming, the post should be between the two outer players in the wall (again position-dependent):
Now hold the left stick upwards. Additionally, hold L1 (PS4) / LB (Xbox One) and charge the shot power to about 3 bars.
Shooting Free Kicks Low – Under the Wall
For this free kick, you should be very close to the 16-meter area; otherwise, it is not recommended.
Choose a taker with high free kick precision and high shot power (both over 80).
Position your taker according to the position, as in this picture:
As with the power free kick, hold L1 (PS4) / LB (Xbox One) and press the left stick upwards. Now charge the shot power just slightly over one bar – so you only press the button very briefly.
Now you just need some luck that the opponent lets the wall jump. Then the ball rolls under the wall into the goal.
The setup free kick has numerous variants and can essentially be executed from all positions. However, if you want to shoot directly from the setup, the free kick should be close to the 16 area.
Take any player as a free kick taker – since he won’t shoot anyway.
Press L2 (PS4) or LT (Xbox One) to call a 2nd shooter. Keep this button pressed and then press the pass button (fill about two bars).
Thus, the ball is set up for a third player, who can shoot directly (press shoot button). If you have time, you can also take the ball briefly.
For a high setup, you simply press the lob button instead of the pass button. Then another player can shoot volley.
Outside Foot Free Kick – for the Trophy
The outside foot free kick has been possible since FIFA 17, as you can now position your shooter with the right stick before executing the free kick. With the outside foot, a standard situation looks not only cool but is also needed for a trophy / achievement. The recommended distance from the goal is 16-27 meters.
Choose a left footer for the right side and a right footer for the left side. Again, pay attention to good curl and free kick attributes.
Now move left with the right stick (with the left foot) or right (with the right foot) and ensure that the post is between the two outer players in the wall, as in the following picture (but this depends on the position!):
The left footer Dybala at the outside foot free kick
The execution then runs similarly to the curler free kick: With the left stick, aim upwards (and in this example a little to the left) and shoot with about 2 bars of power. Now the player should curl the ball around the wall with the outside foot – and ideally send it straight into the goal.
Pass Combo Free Kick – Feint and Run Over the Ball
This free kick is a variant that can surprise your opponents. If they are not prepared for it, it is only difficult to defend. The distance to the goal should be small, about 16-20 meters.
When choosing the shooter, just make sure you have a left footer on the right side and a right footer on the left side.
Press the LT or L2 button to call a second shooter.
Now you need to feint with this second shooter. This works by holding the LT/L2 button and then quickly pressing B and then A or Circle and then X.
This player will run over the ball and further into the open space. Pass to this player with your first shooter using A or X and then score with B or Circle.

Note: Pay attention to whether the opponent places a player on the line in all free kick variants. You may want to choose another free kick variant. In FIFA 18, it is also effective to simply pass the ball flat into the 16-meter area to a teammate and then take a shot.
The Best Free Kick Takers in FIFA 18
The highest free kick precision values of all players in FIFA 18 belong to some Icon cards. These are the players with free kick precision over 90:

These are the top free kick takers in the Bundesliga – according to free kick precision:
Marvin Plattenhardt (89)
James Rodriguez (86)
David Alaba (85)
Robert Lewandowski (84)

However, remember that alongside free kick precision, shot power and curl are also important values for free kicks.
Now it’s time to practice! In the arena or with skill games, you can train free kicks. Perfect and customize your free kick!
The developers ofBlack Desert Onlinehave announced their plans for the rest of 2017. The sandbox MMO is set to receive better balancing. In addition, skills that make your regular weapons attractive alternatives to the Awakening weapon will be added.
Black Desert Online received several innovations in 2017. For example, the Dark Blade, the Striker and the new region of Kamasylvia. But what’s next in 2017? What other content can players expect in the remainder of the year?
In Korea, the further plans have recently been revealed. Attractive alternatives to the Awakening are planned. In addition, the balancing of the heroes will be a topic.
Black Desert Online aims to make regular weapons more interesting
A major planned change concerns the skill system of regular weapons. Until now, your ordinary war machines were often less interesting than the cool Awakening weapons you obtained in the endgame. But that is set to change soon.
Together with the Skill Fusion system “Rabam’s Enlightenment”, there will be additional new skills for regular weapons. For example, improved versions of known abilities. These new skills are expected to come starting at level 56 and will become even stronger at level 60.
Additionally, there are considerations to make certain skills accessible earlier. This way, you should be able to switch between the Awakening weapon and the regular equipment depending on the situation.
More fairness for the classes – Balancing updates are coming
Also good to know: The developers have identified some classes that are currently performing worse than other heroes. Therefore, balancing adjustments will be made in upcoming updates. The patches will not go out as a large block, but will be released gradually in the next updates.
Especially the following classes will be significantly buffed in the future:
Musa
Maehwa
Kunoichi
Ninja
Valkyrie
In addition to the balancing patches, efforts will be made to improve the server stability in Black Desert Online and prepare further content innovations.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is extremely successful, especially in Asia recently. However, this has led to massive server problems and great player dissatisfaction. The developers now want to find a solution quickly.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds keeps making headlines. After already breaking the mark of one million concurrent players, there were already 1.7 million players who wanted to enjoy Battle Royale fun worldwide at the same time in early October 2017.
The reason for the problems with the servers, according to Bluehole, lies simply in the unexpectedly strong growth of the game. Since the existing infrastructure, a cloud service designed for nearly 1 million players, could no longer handle the many gamers, another cloud service was quickly added.
This new cloud was supposed to share the load with the old servers, but the system had not been tested adequately beforehand. As a result, some servers were overloaded, leading to the known issues and in turn the Steam shitstorm.
Bluehole is working hard on a solution for server problems
The developers at Bluehole want to fix the problem soon and are reportedly working hard and doubling their efforts on a solution. Furthermore, the company is expanding, among other things, through the establishment of the subsidiary “PUBG-Corp”, which will take care of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds in Europe, the USA, and Asia.
Meanwhile, they are apologizing to the annoyed players and promise to find a solution for the server problems soon.
The best Bundesliga players for your Ultimate Team in FIFA 18 are shown in this guide. Which good Bundesliga forwards, midfielders, defenders, goalkeepers, and German players from abroad are there in FUT 18?
Countless FIFA fans are already planning their new Ultimate Team in FIFA 18 and are racking their brains about which players they definitely want to field. Should it be a pure Bundesliga team? Am I trying a different league this year? Am I focusing on a specific nation?
Because in FUT 18, you should not combine players in your team randomly. You also have to pay attention to chemistry, for which matching leagues or nations are crucial. With low chemistry, your players perform worse.
If you want to create a strong Bundesliga Ultimate Team, you’ll find here the best players that you can field in various positions. We also indicate German players from abroad, if there are good alternatives. And we will give tips for an affordable starter team along the way!
FUT 18 – The best players for the ultimate Bundesliga Ultimate Team
The best forwards in Bundesliga – ST, MS
The most beautiful plays won’t help you if your players can’t get the ball into the net. You need at least one top striker with a scoring mentality. These are the best forwards in the Bundesliga:
Robert Lewandowski from FC Bayern Munich has the best shooting stats among all Bundesliga forwards. His dribbling and physicality are also strong. He is an all-round top striker and with a rating of 91, the best striker in the Bundesliga.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang: With an overall rating of 88, the second-best striker in the Bundesliga. The BVB star has the highest pace of all players in FIFA 18 and also shows high shooting stats.
Thomas Müller from FC Bayern comes in third. He has an overall rating of 86 and consistently solid stats.
Here you see all attributes of these three players (from left to right: Pace, Shooting, Passing, Dribbling, Defense, Physicality):
The next places are far behind. With an overall rating of 82, Timo Werner (RB Leipzig), who has high pace stats, or Mario Gomez (Wolfsburg), also 82 overall, who is strong in heading. As a good overall package, Max Kruse (Werder Bremen, 82) is also recommended. Volland (Leverkusen) with an overall rating of 80 is suitable as a starter. He has good stats in pace and dribbling. However, you can also get Kruse or Gomez quite cheaply.
The best central midfielders in the Bundesliga – ZOM, ZM, ZDM
Deploy these players in central midfield:
Thiago (FC Bayern) has the best overall rating of all Bundesliga midfielders at 88. His dribbling and passing stats are outstanding.
Arturo Vidal (FC Bayern) is also strong with an overall rating of 87. He impresses with high stats across the board above 80.
James Rodriguez (FC Bayern) has an overall rating of 86 and shows top stats in shooting, passing, and dribbling.
In the Bundesliga, following closely are Naby Keita, Emil Forsberg (both Leipzig), and Shinji Kagawa (BVB), each with 83 overall. Fin Bartels from Werder Bremen (78) is offered as a cheap and fast player to start. Mario Götze (81) from BVB is also relatively inexpensive to get and stands out with good dribbling and passing ability.
It is also worth taking a look at the German players abroad:
Toni Kroos (Real Madrid) has an outstanding rating of 90. However, a big disadvantage is his low pace of 50.
Mesut Özil (Arsenal) is also strong with 88
and Ilkay Gündogan (Manchester City) impresses with 85 overall and high dribbling stats.
The best left wingers in the Bundesliga – LF, LM
With these players, the left wing is optimally occupied:
Franck Ribery (FC Bayern) may not be the fastest anymore, but he has a high overall rating of 86 and outstanding dribbling stats.
Marco Reus (BVB) also has an overall rating of 86 and top stats for an offensive force. Pace, shooting, passing, and dribbling are top-notch.
In third place is the Inform card of Maximilian Philipp (BVB). The Inform card is the TOTW card – from the Team of the Week 1.
Bruma (81) from Leipzig offers you high pace with 93 on the wing and is not that expensive in his normal version. Even cheaper to get is Serge Gnabry (79), who is also fast with a pace stat of 90 and is well-suited for a starter team.
The abroad has a lot to offer as well. The following players can even be relatively affordable:
Leroy Sané (Manchester City) is even faster with a pace of 94. He has an overall rating of 82.
Julian Draxler (PSG) is also a good alternative with an overall rating of 82.
The best right wingers in the Bundesliga – RF, RM
You also need top players on the right side:
Arjen Robben (FC Bayern) has by far the best card of all RMs in the Bundesliga (88). He is fast, strong in dribbling, and has a good shot.
Karim Bellarabi (Leverkusen) follows with 82. He is characterized by high pace.
Andriy Yarmolenko (BVB) is in third place with a rating of 81.
If you’re looking for cheaper alternatives with high pace stats over 90, there’s Pulisic (78 overall, 91 pace, BVB) and Coman (79 overall, 92 pace, FC Bayern).
The best left backs in the Bundesliga – LV
Take one of these players as a left back:
David Alaba (FC Bayern) is the outstanding left back in the Bundesliga with a rating of 86. He is fast and has overall good stats.
Marcel Schmelzer (BVB) has an overall rating of 80, placing him second.
Bernat (FC Bayern) secures third place with 79.
Alaba will be extremely expensive, but there are no really good alternatives. If you’re looking for cheap left backs that are fast, you can take Wendell (77 overall, 86 pace, Leverkusen) or Brosinski (76 overall, 85 pace, Mainz).
The best right backs in the Bundesliga – RV
These are your options on the right side:
Joshua Kimmich (FC Bayern) has an Inform card with a rating of 84, which is currently the best RB card in the Bundesliga. He has extremely high passing stats.
Lukasz Piszczek (BVB) is in second place with 83 overall.
The standard card of Kimmich has 81 overall.
Coke (Schalke 04) follows with 80.
There are no really fast left backs of gold quality in the Bundesliga. The fastest are Toljan (75 overall, 84 pace, BVB) and Weiser (78 overall, 84 pace, Hertha)
The best center backs in the Bundesliga – IV
In the center backs, you have a top selection:
Jerome Boateng (FC Bayern) has a rating of 88 and impresses with high pace and strong physicality.
Mats Hummels (FC Bayern) also has 88 overall. He is slower and has lower physicality than Boateng, but his other attributes are better.
The third place is shared by Javi Martinez (FC Bayern) and Sokratis (BVB).
Further strong center backs include Süle (83, FC Bayern) and Toprak (83, BVB). Tah (82, Leverkusen) is recommended as a starter and is relatively fast for a central center back with a pace stat of 72.
However, you can also use Mustafi as a strong and fast center back. The German center back from Arsenal already has an Inform card:
The best goalkeepers in the Bundesliga – TW
Put these players in goal:
Manuel Neuer (FC Bayern) is the best goalkeeper in FIFA 18, with overall top stats. His rating is 92. However, he will be correspondingly expensive.
In the Bundesliga, Bernd Leno (Leverkusen), a cheaper “Neuer substitute”, is in second place. He has 85 overall.
A glance at the Spanish league shows that Marc-André ter Stegen (FC Barcelona) has strong 85 stats.
Otherwise, there are several goalkeepers in the Bundesliga with 84: Ralf Fährmann (Schalke 04), Roman Bürki (BVB) and Timo Horn (Cologne).
These are the best players according to overall ratings that you can field in your Bundesliga Ultimate Team.
In FIFA 18, the TOTW 3 (Team of the Week 3) is known. These players receive Inform cards in Ultimate Team.
A few days ago, on 29.9., FIFA 18 was officially released. However, the FUT-18 season started nearly two weeks earlier, as some players already had early access to FIFA 18 via EA Access or Origin Access in mid-September. This means that two TOTWs have already been released.
This week’s TOTW 3 is now the first Team of the Week in FUT 18 to which all FIFA players have direct access at launch. What cards are included?
The highlight of this Team of the Week is De Bruyne with an overall rating of 90. He is the only player rated over 90. Close behind are Isco and Kane, both with a rating of 87. From a Bundesliga perspective, Yarmolenko (84) and Ginter (82) are interesting. Here is the Team of the Week 3:
TOTW 3 in FUT 18 – Player Ratings
Starting eleven:
Substitutes:
The TOTW 3 is available in the packs from 4.10. (7 PM) to 11.10. (7 PM).

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. Players who showed outstanding performances in real football during the previous week are rewarded with special cards that have improved attributes.
You can pull the TOTW cards from the packs within a week, where Rare (Gold) players can be included. However, the chance of getting them is considered low. Additionally, you can buy them on the transfer market if they are offered by other players. The prices are usually extremely high.
The Mythic+ Dungeon Invitational now leads to restrictions for all players in World of Warcraft. Was war der Wunsch dahinter?
With the World of Warcraft Mythic+ Dungeon Invitational, Blizzard held the first “real” PvE tournament for group dungeons last week. Players had to compete in 5-player teams and tackle various dungeons in a time trial. Only those who perfectly coordinated their group had any chance of victory.
The tournament was also admired by Blizzard’s developers – such as Morgan Day, the Lead Encounter Designer, who is largely responsible for dungeons and raids. In an interview with Forbes, he reveals what changes to instances will be made based on the experiences from the Invitational.
According to Day, many small things were changed before the tournament. For example, players could no longer use the “Swapblaster”. This toy allowed players to swap positions with another character in the group. The particularly mobile Demon Hunters jumped to elevated locations like cliffs, and the rest of the team teleported after them. This allowed certain sections of a dungeon to be skipped.
Fewer combat resurrections in dungeons
Another issue that the developers noticed was the combat resurrections, the “Battlerezz”. Many teams came with four or even five characters capable of resurrecting in combat. There is already a restriction in the raids that limits the number of combat resurrections that can be performed. In the future, this system will also be implemented in dungeons.
In simple terms: Because some players can have minimal advantages in a dungeon by combining certain abilities or toys, this might now be restricted for all players.
What do you think about Blizzard adjusting the dungeons around a small elite group now? Is it a good thing that everything should cater to the professionals? Or should Blizzard stay out of it?
Fortnite does not neglect its PvE mode and introduces a new game mode with the update “Horde Bash.” In it, you must fend off wave after wave of enemies with your pre-fabricated fortress.
Other players, however, found it concerning that the developers are rushing into a PvP mode when Fortnite was originally developed as a light-hearted co-op PvE shooter. Parallels to the infamous fate of H1Z1 were voiced.
Its PvE mode had been ruthlessly overshadowed by the far more successful PvP version King of Kill and no longer even shares the name H1Z1. However, Epic does not seem to want to make the same mistake and is releasing plenty of PvE content!
New PvE Mode Horde Bash – Build your fortress beforehand and crush monsters
The new PvE mode Horde Bash is fundamentally a classic horde survival mode. You must take shelter and withstand increasingly difficult waves of monsters. Unlike regular Fortnite, you can build your defenses in peace beforehand. You have unlimited time, but only limited resources.
The pre-fabricated fortress will then be saved and can be fully set up in the game. You will see how good your fortress design was in battle. Depending on how long you hold out or if you make it to the end, there are big rewards.

9 new scavenger weapons
2 new defenders
4 new heroes
The four new heroes have the following abilities:
Raider Soldier: A melee fighter who loves shotguns.
Ammo Harvest Outlander: A scout who can exceptionally gather ammunition.
Trap Specialist Constructor: Traps deal more damage and withstand more with this constructor.
Energy Thief Ninja: Generates and absorbs energy in melee combat.
In Destiny 2 the Haunted Earth is offered by the Dead Orbit. Is it worth the 50,000 Glimmer that is being asked?
The Dead Orbit is the winner of the first Faction Rally in Destiny 2. To celebrate, Arach Jalaal is now selling a Legendary Scout Rifle called “Haunted Earth.”
All Guardians who belong to the winning faction receive the Scout Rifle for 1,000 Glimmer. All others must pay a proud 50,000 Glimmer if they want the Haunted Earth.
You have until the next weekly reset on 10/10 to strike – after that, the Dead Orbit will not distribute this weapon (for now?).
But is it really worth spending 50,000 Glimmer?

High-Caliber Rounds: Shots push targets back further, increased range
In terms of design, the Haunted Earth is almost identical to the “Duty Call” Scout Rifle, which is available from Devrim Kay in reward packages except for its coloring:
Compared to the Duty Call, the Haunted Earth has a slower fire rate and therefore increased stopping power. However, the magazine size, stability, and handling are better with the Duty Call.
The “Prepared for Everything” perk provides a tangible bonus: You reload almost twice as fast when crouched compared to when you are standing. However, this perk is impractical in many situations as you hardly have the time to crouch to reload in the heat of battle.
The “Triple” perk from the Duty Call is more useful, as it refills a shot in the magazine with quick precision hits. Especially in boss fights, it is a top perk. So, better pack the Duty Call than the Haunted Earth in the kinetic slot.
The legendary Scout Rifle Midnight Without Name
You can acquire the Scout Rifle “Midnight Without Name” from Zavala, which is currently one of the strongest legendary scout rifles. This one features the Explosive Rounds perk, causing the projectiles to explode upon impact. This is also more useful than the abilities of the Haunted Earth.
Overall, the Haunted Earth is an at best average Scout Rifle that cannot compare to alternatives like Midnight Without Name or Duty Call.
So is it worth spending 50,000 Glimmer? The answer is: No. There are better legendary scout rifles. Only buy it if you want the Haunted Earth for your weapon collection. Otherwise, the 50,000 Glimmer can be spent better elsewhere.
In PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, the infamous troll streamer DrDisRespect has already caused quite a stir. It seems that the supposedly disrespectful guy is actually a really nice guy, who is brought to tears by fan praise.
Several months ago, there was a serious scandal in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. The infamous streamer and professional troll DrDisRespect – a character with a porn mustache and mullet – provoked a ban from PUBG chief Brendan Greene with a live streamed player kill. This led to more trolling from DrDisRespect, who even playfully threatened Greene with a beating.
However, that DrDisRespect has a soft heart behind his tough and rugged exterior is proven by the following situation.
A tough guy gets soft
In a stream, DrDisRespect was playing with a randomly selected teammate (Random) in PUBG. The teammate asked him if he was the real DrDisRespect. “No, just a big fan,” the Doc replied, not wanting to reveal his identity.
However, DrDisRespect became curious and asked further. The Random revealed that he was a big fan of the Doctor. DrDisRespect really wanted to know and said: “Well, he does annoy me sometimes.”

But the fan remained steadfast and said: “I love him!” This touched the usually rough and rude streamer deeply. He even had to leave his seat briefly to compose himself. When he returned, a few tears had even rolled under his porn glasses! A deeply moving scene that shows that seemingly trollish streamers are also just human.

In the vast depths of the internet, there are plenty of trolls and jokesters who just want to create a little chaos and confusion. It often happens that some people make up “leaks” that they claim have already deciphered the secrets of the next Overwatch patch. Distinguishing such fake leaks from actual leaks isn’t easy, especially if the creator puts in a bit of effort.
But if one is even too lazy to come up with their own leaks, the local troll just waits until a script does the job automatically. That’s exactly what some people have done now. A “leak generator” has been floating around on the platform 4chan for a few days. It is loosely based on the leaks of the past months – both those that have come true and those that were entirely made up.
Random Leaks – from convincing to ridiculous
With just one click, the generator creates a somewhat plausible leak that answers several questions:
Who is the leak creator?
Which new hero is Blizzard working on?
Who is getting a new cinematic?
Which map is coming next?
Got trolled.
Basically, the generator is quite simple and just swaps a few keywords. But the results are likely to make most fans chuckle. Here’s an example that doesn’t quite convince through its sensibility:
“Blizzard has already fired me… so I can reveal this right here.
They are currently working on a control map, and it’s really cool. We don’t have maps in this location yet, so the team decided to set a map in Sweden. On a vertical level, there are a few crazy things, and then there’s this “sticky” wall that heroes can climb, but they fall down if stunned or pushed.
Additionally, the next hero is now entering the animation phase. The next hero is called “Peaceviolet”. She’s a mix of tank and support, with some similarities to Torbjörn. She has this cool ability called Dragonwatch. We believe it’s a really great ability that is quite uncomfortable for heroes with low health. It makes them bad at eliminating weak targets.
Furthermore, there will soon be some animated shorts featuring Roadhog and McCree.”
Especially amusing is that the generator doesn’t take itself too seriously. Some “leaks” simply start with “Hey, I’m Jeff Kaplan from the Overwatch team and this is what we’re working on”. Who wouldn’t find that immediately convincing?
You can find the generator itself in our sources. So if you come across similar phrases in the forums, be a bit skeptical.
What do you think of the leak generator? A fun idea that will surely cause some confusion? Or are all these fake leaks just annoying?
Online shooters like the Battlefield or CoD franchises are very popular, but competition is known to invigorate business – and this is where the announced online game Hell Let Loose comes into play.
Hell Let Loose claims to deliver a shooter experience like you have never seen before. Bold words, but the shown gameplay clips do indeed look promising. Whether it is really something you have “never seen before” is rather questionable.

The online shooter relies on tactics. Basically, it’s all about opening and maintaining supply lines. Without them, nothing works. Without supplies, you have no ammunition for your weapons and no fuel for the vehicles. Therefore, tactics are important on the huge maps where the front lines are constantly shifting.
You need to figure out how and where you can open supply lines. It’s not just about charging forward and taking out enemies, but about ensuring your own team is constantly supplied.
100 players fight per map in villages, forests, or open fields. You will also use vehicles, like tanks, which you must employ tactically to change the course of the war for your team.
As an infantry soldier, you can also intervene. In total, there are supposed to be 13 classes, each with a specific role to fulfill.
The goal was nearly reached at the time this news was written. Hell Let Loose is set to be released next year. A closed alpha is planned for the first quarter of 2018, followed by a closed beta and early access in the second quarter.

Hell Let Loose looks pretty cool. The underlying metagame with the supply lines also sounds interesting. However, how it plays out and whether it all turns into chaos will be seen at least in the alpha. Until then, I will definitely keep an eye on Hell Let Loose.

We checked out the new expansion of Guild Wars 2, “Path of Fire.” What our author Erzkanzler thinks of the second addon for GW2, you will find out in the test.
Path of Fire and I – we didn’t start on good terms. I’m not a fan of desert scenarios, and after having to endure dreary sand masses in Black Desert Online, I wished for different areas.
All in all, I was skeptical beforehand whether Arenanet is on the right path with the new expansion “Path of Fire.”
However, one must give credit to the developer that Path of Fire fulfills two often-expressed wishes of the active players:
we’re going back to the Crystal Desert
and they introduce mounts in Guild Wars 2 – some had wished for this since the release
With subdued enthusiasm, I started my journey into the new areas to clearly express my opinion to the God of War. After all, I am a fearsome necromantic Asura!
Balthazar had already been introduced to us before Path of Fire in the Living Story as a new villain. However, rather unremarkably, my Asura combat team awaited me after logging into Lion’s Arch. No fireworks, no visible changes, no pop-up new menus or windows, superficially everything remains the same in Guild Wars 2.
But a quick look into the hero panel reveals: There are new elite specializations. Each class has received a new direction with the expansion. This is probably the biggest novelty, aside from the expansion of the areas.
So I could, armed with a torch, now charge into battle as a Plaguebringer, but for now, I’ll stick with my beloved two-handed sword. Because similarly to desert and mounts, the new specializations don’t get me into a frenzy of excitement yet. For now …
The Way to the Desert
With the airship, we proceed to the new areas through a rather subdued cutscene. Even during the approach, I am positively surprised by the new textures. The desert shows itself to be varied right from the start, much more diverse than I had expected.
The implementation of the different areas has been excellently accomplished by Arenanet.
Arriving in the beautifully designed Crystal Oasis, I find all that we are already used to. Many events, small minigames, hero points to conquer, and my first mount. Mounts have really never been something I missed in Guild Wars 2, as there is both a fast travel system and complex and compact maps, which make moving on mounts seem more of an inconvenience.
However, with Path of Fire, Arenanet is taking new paths: the maps feel significantly less cramped. And that does them good. The areas are more expansive, there are noticeably fewer fast travel points, and yet Arenanet skillfully manages to keep the maps from feeling empty or uninspired.
This is partially due to a landscape change even within individual maps.
Give Me a Mount!
After the first few meters on my Raptor, I want to pause briefly to bow to the developers. Great job, I immediately love my Raptor. This powerful creature moves so smoothly, so agilely, and yet it does not feel light but rather strong and powerful, making it a joy to ride.
Throughout the game, my Raptor then learns one or two small improvements through the Mastery system. This is nice, but almost insignificant.
First of all, mastery points are gained – unlike the last expansion Heart of Thorns – almost incidentally, and secondly, the new abilities are often not necessarily game-relevant, but bring joy. The endless mastery grind from HoT is therefore not repeated!
Unfortunately, other mounts seem a bit lackluster in comparison. While the Rabbit is still a helpful alternative, the Skimmer remains rather uninspired, and also the Jackal has, like the Skimmer, almost only significance because Arenanet has integrated the corresponding mechanics into the landscape.
The Griffin as an unannounced mount is, on the other hand, a successful coup. However, I would have wished for this little bird to be a bit more exclusive. Hardly 24 hours after release, Lion’s Arch was a pigeon coop filled with glory-seeking griffon riders.
Ultimately, all mounts are fitting and enrich Guild Wars 2 similarly to how gliding was integrated with HoT.
If they become a bit more customizable in the future, Arenanet could even get me to spend a few euros in the shop. The uniform plumage is, despite the existing color adaptation option, too monotonous for me in the long run.
Just Play Relaxed!
Upon the release of the previous expansion Heart of Thorns, I made it a point not to rush through the new content. Back then, I failed miserably at this endeavor. In Path of Fire, however, I took my time. Good thing! Guild Wars 2 continues to thrive on the charming little things: conversations with NPCs by the roadside and an extraordinarily vibrant world. Whoever simply consumes content blindly here misses one of the game’s greatest strengths.
However, both my Thief and my Necromancer have already explored all five new maps and have seen a large part of the new content. Thanks to a variety of characters, I was also able to check out the new elite specializations. Despite the considerable size of the new areas, Path of Fire offers no real endgame content for veterans. The new bounty hunts and meta-events will surely consume quite some playtime.
Arenanet is thus bringing a solid expansion with Path of Fire and relies on its strengths:
new land masses that invite exploration
events and meta-events that offer relatively high replay value
the superior storytelling of the main story.
Oh God, I have to kill Balthazar?
The new storyline is epic and really captivated me. Although the story sometimes feels a bit contrived, it has even captivated me as a notorious “quest text clicker.” I found myself reading along with the dialogues, feeling the tension, and frequently recalling the story from long ago.
The last time a story captivated me this much, Lion’s Arch was still a collection of wooden huts.
Guild Wars 2 has not changed at its core; it has “only” grown. Those who didn’t like the game before will not love it now either. Because it stays true to itself, remains consistent, and doesn’t reinvent the wheel.
With the gameplay options, such as specializations and mounts, Arenanet creates a successful and logical continuation. Existing content, however, does not become obsolete, as so many other competitors do with their expansions to force players to continue playing.
There are no superior new weapons or armors, and the specializations are not necessarily better than those from Heart of Thorns. Thus, long grinding or first-kill runs, as seen in other MMOs after the release of an expansion, are almost completely absent in Guild Wars 2.
Guild Wars 2 Stays True to Itself
I, as a veteran, like Path of Fire. Many little things that bothered me about Heart of Thorns are not present this time. For instance, hero points from mini-games that I am forced to play or the strained map structure in the Twisted Depths, which tries to impose “vertical gameplay” on me.
An important step, as Arenanet shows that they are willing to learn from past mistakes.
The new specializations are, in the end, a highlight for me. There have always been and will continue to be classes in every MMO that I struggle with, that I just cannot warm up to. Like the Engineer in Guild Wars 2: definitely a great class, but just not my style of play.
The elite specializations, however, change this so drastically that I fundamentally reconsider my attitude towards a class. Thus, I found the melee bruiser from HoT equipped with a hammer much more enjoyable, and with PoF, even the ugly duckling, the Engineer, with its specialization Holosmith has won my heart.
Some classes even manage to shake my army of three necromancers as a main class. The Thief becomes a marksman, can use rifles, and after what feels like an eternity, can now even be played meaningfully again with two pistols. Just good! Since these specializations are all not overpowered, they can also be ignored if they do not appeal to you.
I did not welcome the Plaguebringer with open arms. Sure, I love my necromancers just the way they are, which is why I enjoy playing them so much. And then? Are they really trying to turn my beloved necro into a supporter? Not with Erzkanzler! That won’t work! Or will it?
New specializations, new love? After we got used to each other a little, our dark love flares up again. Because even the Plaguebringer is such a treacherous beast with enormous damage potential that I already dread the next patch notes, fearing that our young love might be torn apart.
But not every story has a happy ending! The Mesmer was never my favorite class in its original form. To be precise, I once referred to him as “Fragrant Toilet Paper from Textured Wallpaper.” And even with the release of HoT, he never managed to win my heart as a Chronomancer. Now, he tries again in PoF as an Illusionist but fails miserably. We won’t become friends this time either. But why should I care?
Testing all the new specializations that intrigue me offers me plenty of opportunities to spend time in Guild Wars 2. This system offers new alternatives for almost all player preferences. And if not? The specializations from the base game or the HoT expansion still have their place.
A look at relevant build sites shows: they are almost all competitive. The new Path of Fire builds do not stand out significantly, except for a few exceptions.
Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire in Review – What Does the Erzkanzler Say?
Starting pessimistically both in the new expansion and in this article, I can now confidently state: Path of Fire is a successful update. It may not seize all opportunities, but it does not commit any serious errors either. It has already given me so many beautiful hours of gameplay that I do not regret a cent of the purchase price. And that is exactly what one can expect from an expansion.
Path of Fire strongly gives the impression of retaining existing customers. In my view, this is almost a groundbreaking idea. Simply because I would have liked to see the marketing team that was told that new players would be nice but not the focus of their efforts.
Gaining really many new customers for a five-year-old MMO is likely to be a mammoth task, requiring substantial resources and always carries the risk of alienating long-standing veterans.
Arenanet, however, focuses on existing players, maintains content, and specifically addresses the wishes of the community. The developer has clearly learned from the HoT times and is proceeding more deliberately and cautiously. As long as it pays off for the developers, I enjoy having a gameplay comfort zone in Guild Wars 2. Everything is familiar, but new content raises no boredom. This raises the question: curse or blessing?
With the current expansion, players receive more Guild Wars 2. Radical changes or major innovations are absent. There is still no relevant item spiral, and the proverbial carrot that motivates many MMO players remains absent with Path of Fire. Thus, Path of Fire is exactly what it promises – an expansion!
Path of Fire – Little Evolution and No Revolution, Yet Good?
And what does the community say? The player base seems to like Arenanet’s new concept. While the community is usually quite critical of the developers, the forums are currently a place for exchange about new content, and even in feedback topics, there is much praise.
Only a few voices express dissatisfaction about the scope and the lack of endgame content. However, these muffled outcries have existed since the release. They are significantly in the minority. Out of curiosity, I asked various guild leaders and players for their opinions: In summary, while there is no enthusiasm, there is a relaxed sense of satisfaction with Path of Fire.
Perhaps a game does not need to redefine itself constantly, grow, and innovatively break everything apart. I, at least, enjoy this continuity, especially because it is so extraordinary. Let’s hope this concept also pays off for Arenanet and that player numbers do not decline. The lack of endgame is the sword of Damocles that Arenanet bravely ignores.
Ultimately, high-end content such as raids has never been the core of Guild Wars 2. With the content introduced now, one is sure to reach a larger percentage of the player base than one could have achieved with extremely challenging content. This might not please everyone, but it is economically sensible and looks good for the game.
How do you experience Path of Fire? Do you miss the endgame or do you enjoy, like I do, that there are now more Guild Wars 2 contents.

Especially the weapons Zen Meteor and The Jade Rabbit, as well as the strike and the PvP maps were sought after by Xbox players. But now hardly anyone is happy about it.
For many guardians, the last content update for Destiny 1, “Age of Triumph”, was seen as the last sensible opportunity to bring this content in order for Xbox guardians to at least have a few months to play with it before the Destiny 2 era begins. However, that never happened.
Finally, the time has come! The PlayStation-exclusive Destiny content is now available on Xbox. But it’s not really causing any cheers…
“Better late than never” probably doesn’t apply here anymore: Just under a month after Destiny 2 was released on PS4 and Xbox One, in Destiny 1 all PlayStation-exclusive content is available for Xbox Guardians.
For over 2 years they had to wait patiently for some of this content, while Bungie for years failed to communicate clearly when the content could be expected on Xbox.
The PlayStation exclusives from Year 1 released on Xbox after a year. It was therefore assumed that the exclusive content from Year 2, which came in the fall of 2015, would also be released after a year. However, these were unexpectedly delayed and have not been released until now – along with other exclusives that had been released in the following months.
Now, several weeks after the launch of Destiny 2, hardly any Xbox Guardian is interested in this content.
What PlayStation-exclusive content was that again?
Interestingly, the news that this content has now come to Xbox did not come directly from Bungie. Bungie has not commented on this at all. The information instead comes from several guardians on reddit, who report that the content is now unlocked.
These are the former PlayStation-exclusive contents that are now available on Xbox:
With The Taken King (Fall 2015) came exclusive armor pieces, the strike “Echo Chamber”, the crucible map “Sector 618” and the scout rifle The Jade Rabbit.
With the April Update (2016) came the sniper rifle Zen Meteor, the Velumbra Sparrow, armor pieces, and an exclusive quest.
With Rise of Iron (Fall 2016) there was an exclusive quest, a PvP map (Icarus), and the ship “Timeless Tereshkova”.
Especially the weapons Zen Meteor and The Jade Rabbit, as well as the strike and the PvP maps were sought after by Xbox players. But now hardly anyone is happy about it.
For many guardians, the last content update for Destiny 1, “Age of Triumph”, was seen as the last sensible opportunity to bring this content in order for Xbox guardians to at least have a few months to play with it before the Destiny 2 era begins. However, that never happened.
Thargoids – insectoid arch-enemy in the Elite games
The Elite series is over 30 years old. The first game was released in 1984. Further installments came out in 1993 and 1995.
In Elite, the aliens “Thargoids” have long been a hostile insectoid race. Thargoids are believed to thrive on war, seeking not peaceful contact but the annihilation of humanity.
For months it has been announced in Elite: Dangerous that there would be contact between humanity and the Thargoids.
Players found artifacts, then aliens appeared and scanned human ships – ultimately, players could even fight the aliens. The first battles were pretty frustrating, as the alien ships were invincible and took no damage. Shooting conventional weapons at the ships was like punching a rock with bare hands.
Now it’s time to take on the aliens
After an event last week, players have gained access to “Anti-Xeno Missile Systems.” Only with these can they now shoot down the aliens.
However, a discussion has erupted in the game’s forums about whether that should really be done. Should we just shoot the aliens in Elite: Dangerous like aliens in Space Invaders, or is a different approach more appropriate in a space simulation? Is there really no other way?
After all, the ships only fired when we approached them. They are not hostile by nature or seeking conflict themselves.
Leave them alone, feed them, or kill them?
Some believe that the aliens we are experiencing now are peaceful and only fleeing from other, evil aliens – and we should prepare when they arrive.
Others think that a kind of “peace” can be made with the current aliens by bringing them offerings – like human NPCs in escape pods…
Others do not care for such nonsense and say: Aliens are here, and the only possible interaction with them is to eradicate them. Those who refuse to do so do not utilize the content that developer Frontier offers us.
Behind this conflict lies a question that has always concerned science fiction and is a fundamental question: If there really is intelligent life out there – how should we deal with it? Is conflict really unavoidable?
What do you think: Should we shoot the aliens like sprites in Space Invaders, or is there more to it?
Some players wanted to make first contact peacefully:
Those without a fast internet connection might be frustrated with the beta of Star Wars: Battlefront 2 – because there is no preload.
A preload is always a nice thing, especially if you don’t have a fast internet connection. You start the download a few days before the launch of the game or beta, download the files comfortably, and can then start immediately when the servers open. Not so with the beta of Star Wars: Battlefront 2.
Large Download, but no Preload
On PC, the download size is 15 GB, on PS4 it is 15.3 GB, and on Xbox One, you will download 13.2 GB. 15 gigabytes is a lot for slow lines. Community Coordinator Kevin Johnson confirmed that there will be no preload for the beta.
The testing phase starts today, on October 4th at 10 AM, for pre-orderers, so without preload. And everyone who wants to participate in the open beta on October 6th cannot download the necessary files beforehand.
This means that all players will have to wait at the start until the files have been downloaded. That brings two problems: Those without a fast internet connection cannot start immediately, but must wait for the slow download. Due to the rush of players on the servers, the download rates may be quite low because everyone is downloading the files at the same time.
Have you been diligently downloading the closed beta or have you already made it into the game? Then share your impressions of Star Wars: Battlefront 2 with us.
Warframe will soon receive the open-world update Plains of Eidolon. And possibly sooner than expected. Additionally, the new Warframe Gara is on the agenda.
In the coop shooter Warframe, you stealth, run, jump, shoot, and slash your way as bizarre space ninjas through dark corridors and always tightly confined outdoor areas. An open world seemed to no longer exist in our solar system of the distant future.
But that should soon change, as the developers at Digital Extremes plan to release the open-world update Plains of Eidolon possibly within the next 10 days!
Plains of Eidolon – Release possibly sooner than expected
Originally, the launch of Plains of Eidolon was already planned for the end of September, but was postponed again indefinitely to optimally prepare the update. In the meantime, Digital Extremes has become somewhat more optimistic and mentions “the next 10 days” as a cautious release timeframe.
However, many fans do not trust this statement, as Digital Extremes has often failed to meet its own release goals, such as with the last major update “The War Within”.
Map of the Plains of Eidolon
As a small teaser, there is already a map of the large open-world area of the Plains of Eidolon. More information is expected to follow as soon as the official page for the update is online.
In the Plains of Eidolon, you will regularly take down monsters during the day and encounter hardcore endgame enemies at night. Additionally, there will be towering giant beasts that you can only defeat with the help of your Operator.
New glass Warframe Gara comes to the shop – Quest delayed
In addition to the Plains of Eidolon, there is the new Warframe Gara. She is supposed to have her own quest line, like all new Warframes since Mirage, through which you can unlock her. However, the quests are delayed due to scheduling issues with one of the actors. Therefore, you can already purchase Gara in the shop and get started with her.
The associated quest will then be patched in as soon as possible. Gara is a female Warframe who attacks her opponents with glass shards. Her name comes from “Garasu”, the Japanese word for glass.
