A porn dialogue makes its way into the German version of League of Legends. In LoL, assassin Evelynn whispers: Why is there straw here?
“Why is there straw here?” is a phrase that almost every German between 12 and 30 knows.
The phrase originally comes from a porn film from 2002 “Eighteen and a Half 18”.
A woman in lingerie enters a basement with a masked man. It seems to be about him checking the circuit box. There is straw in front of the circuit box.
A dialogue unfolds as follows:
Woman: “This is the circuit box we always have problems with. Can you take a look at it?”
Man: “Yes, gladly. But… why is there straw everywhere?”
Woman: “And why are you wearing a mask?”
Man: “Hmm… then give me a blow job.”

Porn Dialogue becomes Internet Phenomenon and part of League of Legends
This dialogue from the porn film became an internet phenomenon years later, around 2011.
Only this completely absurd dialogue, not the actual sex action, was shown so often in video clips that everyone had seen it at least once. Often in connection with how hollow dialogues in porn films are, as they are only about “getting to the point.”.
Now Riot Games shows humor and gives the sentence “Why is there actually straw here” to the sexy assassin Evelynn in League of Legends. As part of a champion update, her lines in the game were renewed.

A user on reddit noticed that this sentence suddenly appears in the new German voice of Evelynn.
Evelynn, the Widowmaker, has been in League of Legends since 2009. She is a kind of man-murdering femme fatale with animal-demonic elements. Evelynn has always been depicted as highly sexualized.

For Warframe, the eagerly awaited open-world update Plains of Eidolon will be released soon. However, it will not be in the last week of September. The developers are working hard and even cancel the Devstream to finish the update as quickly as possible.
Warframe impressed fans and critics when a few months ago the big open-world update Plains of Eidolon was presented at the in-house convention Tennocon. Since then, players have been eagerly waiting for the update, but concrete release dates are hard to find. According to the developers, the release is imminent. Perhaps even this week?
However, there has been disillusionment: Plains of Eidolon will not come this week, and there will also be no Devstream from the developers!
Release of Plains of Eidolon in October?
The reason for the stream’s cancellation is, according to community manager Rebecca Ford, the great stress currently at Digital Extremes studio. They are indeed working like crazy to finish the Eidolon update.
It was once planned that Plains of Eidolon would come this week. However, they decided to give themselves more time to complete the update.
Ford still does not want to specify exact dates. But the announcement sounds promising. The release date of Plains of Eidolon will be announced early next week.
If the release of Plains of Eidolon was truly planned for the last week of September, it could well mean that the open-world update is coming in October!
Day-Night Cycle and Giant Monsters in the Open World
Once Plains of Eidolon is released, you will experience new aspects of Warframe. Instead of roaming in confined areas, you will explore a large open map on the Plains of Eidolon. There, the usual enemies will roam during the day, which you can easily defeat with your Tenno.
However, at night, stronger foes venture out of their hiding places, and the tough endgame begins. The toughest battles will occur in Plains of Eidolon when the titular Eidolon appear. These are gigantic monsters that the developers internally refer to as Kaiju, Titans akin to Godzilla!
In Destiny 2 a new puzzle has been solved in the Tower: Here’s how you find the Dance Party Key and the Loot-a-Palooza Key and start a Dance Party!
Since September 26, the faction leaders from the Dead Orbit, the Future War Cult, and the New Monarchy have been in the Tower of Destiny 2. However, they did not come alone – they brought a new puzzle that has to do with Dance Party Keys and Loot-a-Palooza Keys.
Near each faction leader, there is a device that says “Dance Party Key required.” In this picture, you see the device at the Dead Orbit. For orientation: Arach Jalaal is on the left. The terminal is directly behind him:
But how do you get a Dance Party Key? How do you start a Dance Party?
How to get the Dance Party Key – Step by Step Guide
The first step is the hardest: You must go into the Leviathan raid and get lucky.
Defeat the final boss Calus. Among the loot you receive, there may be a Loot-a-Palooza Key. According to user reports, it is a random drop. There is no guarantee. As help, we have our raid guide for you here.
Once you have the Loot-a-Palooza Key, fly to the Tower to the faction of your choice. Look for the terminal nearby that requires the Loot-a-Palooza Key. For example, again the Dead Orbit: Run past Arach Jalaal and go up the stairs in front of you. This terminal is there:
Now a kind of mini-game starts. You will receive a message that hidden chests are nearby. You must open these chests, which are sometimes difficult to reach. You need to climb and master “jump passes.” This mini-game is indicated by the “public event” symbol. The symbol will guide you to the chests. In the end, you will receive the Dance Party Key!
Once the event is over, you can activate the device that says “Dance Party Key required.” A chest will spawn nearby and music will play. This chest can supposedly be looted by all guardians in the Tower – and they can also dance.
The rewards in the chest are, by the way, very meager. You only get Glimmer and maybe a blue item. But the real reward is the Dance Party that you can now celebrate. If you’re curious, this is what the Dance Party music sounds like:

Blizzard is working on a new, unannounced MMO, but it will be a mobile title. Could World of Warcraft meet Clash Royale or Clash of Clans?
Over the last few months, Blizzard has pulled some of its top people from their regular jobs and assigned them to new, internal projects. These projects are games that have yet to be announced and therefore have no names.
For months, WoW lead Tom Chilton, Heroes of the Storm guru Dustin Browder, and Starcraft 2 icon David Kim have been “missing” and involved in the new project or projects.
Real-time Strategy Meets MMO on Mobile
We know that Blizzard is currently working on at least two titles, but we still aren’t sure exactly which ones.
One is likely to be a first-person shooter – some believe it could be a Diablo or Starcraft title.
The other is a mobile title, probably with a Warcraft license. Recently, we learned from a job listing that this mobile title is supposed to be a “MMO RTS project” – an MMO game with elements of real-time strategy.
RTS and mobile – one initially thinks of “Clash of Clans,” “Clash Royale,” and similar mobile games. They are incredibly lucrative.
Players control their armies and deploy them on different lanes, which then march against the opponents. This is supported by spells and tricks.
These MMO-RTS games used to be the most lucrative mobile titles worldwide: first Clash of Clans, later Clash Royale. However, in recent months, MMORPGs like Lineage M and Lineage 2 Revolution or MOBAs like Arena of Valor have dominated the global top charts on mobile.
If one were to combine a well-known game principle like “Clash Royale” with one of Blizzard’s major licenses like World of Warcraft or classic Warcraft, it would be a surefire way to print money.
An “MMO RTS” would fit this description: something like a Clash Royale with a WoW license.
In the past, Blizzard has been able to take existing game concepts, polish them, and take them to unprecedented heights. Clash of Clans and Clash Royale are already extremely successful on their own.
In the space online game Elite Dangerous, war has broken out against the Thargoids – even though the players actually wanted peace.
After mysterious alien spacecraft appeared in Elite Dangerous a few months ago, they have now declared war on humanity. The Thargoids appear repeatedly in space and pose a challenge as enemies.
The player Commander Relient Owl reports on his first encounter. A Thargoid ship was located among the wrecks of NPC imperial spaceships, noticed the player, scanned him, and opened fire. In no time, the ship was nearly scrap.

So far, no player has managed to destroy a Thargoid ship. However, they can be damaged, as the player jcollasius reports.
He shot off a piece of the hull of a Thargoid ship, analyzed it, and discovered that the ships are apparently of organic nature. He could not find out much more, as the piece of hull corroded and attacked the systems of his ship.
Aggressions come from the Thargoids
Why the Thargoids attack is unclear, as the players of Elite Dangerous actually wanted peace.
A protocol for “First Contact” was even circulated, which was supposed to avoid an aggressive first contact and instructed players to behave calmly when in contact.
Source: reddit
Reactions to the protocol show that in most cases, the Thargoids are the attackers. Players generally behave pacifistically. However, this does not help them much, as the aliens continue to attack relentlessly.

How this war in Elite Dangerous will develop and whether humanity has a chance of survival will be seen over time … or not. We at Mein MMO welcome our new intergalactic overlords in any case!
A streamer considered himself particularly clever and wanted to bypass his ban in Overwatch . However, Blizzard did not relent.
For several weeks now, Blizzard has been taking a more aggressive stance against troublemakers in Overwatch. Anyone who misbehaves, deliberately loses games, or artificially influences their skill rating to ruin the enjoyment of others will face penalties. Repeated offenses can even lead to a complete ban for the season.
One of these rules states that players may not manipulate their skill rating. The streamer Stevooo announced on Twitter that he wanted to undertake a “Silver to Grandmaster” challenge.
So Stevooo bought a new account, invited 5 “friends” who were all in the Bronze tier, and completed his placement matches. And what had to happen happened: Stevooo was ranked low, left the group with his “friends,” and began the challenge.
However, not for long. Blizzard quickly banned Stevooo’s second account.
He then complained that he only had the account to play with his friends. He felt punished for wanting to play with his friends.

Blizzard explains that influencing the skill rating goes against the agreements. Stevooo retorted with a disgruntled: “Got it, I can’t play with friends.”
Blizzard even contacted Stevooo via Discord and explained the case to him in detail, how they came to the decision:
If Stevooo had continued to play with his friends after the placement matches, everything would have been fine.
Right after the placement matches, he started his “challenge” stream.
From then on, he only registered solo.
Blizzard sees it as proven that the account was created solely to start this challenge – and that is against the terms of service.
Cortyn says: I find the whole “Bronze to Grandmaster” challenges quite silly anyway. If a professional Grandmaster buys a second account and then starts in Bronze… does anyone really find that exciting? Is it really interesting to see that a Grandmaster player can plow through Bronze, Silver, and Gold opponents? Yes, wow. A professional is indeed a professional and can also earn back their original rank. What a “challenge”.
What do you think of this approach? Is Stevooo actually “in the right”? Or is it good that Blizzard does not let themselves be fooled here?
Good news for trainers from Pokémon GO: The Solstice Event has been extended. On September 26, there were significant server issues that caused trainers to lose important event time.
On Tuesday, September 26, there were significant server issues with Pokémon GO. Around 11 AM, we received the first complaints. Trainers struggled unsuccessfully with logging in. Even in the afternoon, after several hours of downtime, the servers only allowed a few players to log in to Pokémon GO.
When gameplay resumed in the evening, demands for compensation were voiced. After all, there is currently an event with double Stardust.
Niantic has now officially extended the Solstice Event.
Solstice Event ends one day later
After trainers worldwide had to forgo the mobile game for several hours, Niantic has offered compensation. The Solstice Event will now not end, as planned, on October 2, 2017, at 10:00 PM.
The new end of the event is on October 3, 2017, at 10:00 PM. On Facebook, the Pokémon GO team wrote:
“This morning we noticed an error that prevented players from logging into Pokémon GO. After working with our partners, we were able to resolve the issue and confirm that the login functionality is now stable. Due to this outage, the Equinox celebrations will be extended by 24 hours and will end on October 3 at [10:00 PM local time]. We thank you for your patience and hope you earn plenty of Stardust and hatch many Eggs.”
Players who lost important items like raid passes or lucky eggs during the server downtime or a day of the “7 days in a row spinning PokéStops and catching monsters” should contact Niantic support. You might receive assistance.
To do this, open your game, tap the PokéBall, then “Settings,” “Help Center,” and select “Submit a request” in the top right corner. There you will fill out the form.
In Destiny 2, a new Nightfall strike is up next: The Pyramidion. Here’s how to succeed in the Nightfall – even on Prestige!
With each weekly reset, Guardians are presented with a new Nightfall. This is a challenging version of a strike, where you have a time limit and other modifiers. If you master this endgame activity, you will receive the best loot. There is “powerful gear” that you can earn once per week and per character through the Nightfall.
This week, the Pyramidion is the Nightfall strike. This is a strike on Io where you face the Vex and Taken. You need to eliminate the Genesis Mind Brakion.
The Modifiers and Challenges of the Pyramidion Nightfall
The Pyramidion is actually a cool strike, which impresses with various environmental hazards. However, in the Nightfall, you have no time to examine this strike closely. Because time is of the essence!
These are the modifiers:
Flash Flood: Endless power flows from within you. Abilities recharge faster as a result.
Time Loop:Zero Hour: The mission timer cannot be extended. You have 22 minutes in the normal Nightfall and 17 minutes in the Prestige mode.
The Challenges in the Nightfall Strike:
Complete the Nightfall with at least 5 minutes remaining.
Complete the Nightfall with fewer than 3 deaths.
Do not allow Brakion to be shielded for more than 40 seconds before you defeat him.
Tips for the Nightfall Strike
General tips:
Use the Flash Flood modifier at all times: Always throw your grenades as soon as they are charged. You get a new grenade approximately every 6 seconds.
The pulse grenades are powerful in PvE. Therefore, consider using a Striker Titan or a Stormcaller Warlock who can deal damage to enemies.
The Nightstalker Hunter with the Orpheus Rig is also recommended, as he can generate many orbs of light, allowing you to use your super more frequently. Show the enemies your devastating abilities!
You cannot extend the mission timer, so you need to defeat the enemies quickly. Coordinate who uses their super, collect the orbs, throw grenades, and clear the areas as fast as possible. By the way: At the beginning, you can use your Sparrow to ride the first few meters in the Pyramidion.
Be more cautious with the laser beams. If you die, it will cost you more time. Move through with focus.
Once portals are open, run through them. The enemies that spawn do not need to be defeated.
Flash Flood also recharges the Warlock’s Rift and the Titan’s Barricade faster. Use these advantages, especially during the boss fight.
The boss goes down quickly if you keep him under fire with pulse grenades.
If you want to play with the Sunbreaker Titan, take the “Hallowfire Heart” chest armor. This significantly reduces your solar ability cooldowns while the Hammer of Sol is charged. That means you can throw grenades almost continuously!
If you get stuck somewhere, here is a video where Nexxoss completes the Pyramidion in Nightfall on Prestige. Even though the Guardians died multiple times, they ended up with over a minute remaining:

The action MMO Lost Ark offers insights into the game mode “Guardian Raid” in the second closed beta. In this mode, you hunt a boss like in Monster Hunter and take it down. Watch gameplay videos to see what it looks like in the game.
Lost Ark is a fast-paced action MMO in the style of Diablo and currently, the second closed beta is running in Korea. Among other things, there is a game mode called “Guardian Raid”. In this mode, you set out to hunt a large monster that you should take down together with up to three teammates.
Guardian Raid gameplay in video
If you know the game Monster Hunter, you will quickly find your way in the Guardian Raids. Like in Capcom’s monster hunt, the goal in Lost Ark’s Guardian Raid is to hunt and take down a particularly nasty beast. There is plenty of loot waiting for you, but the fight is anything but easy.
First, you need to find the beast. Together as a team, you explore the map and once the creature is located, you need to quickly form up and deal some serious damage to the monster. But keep in mind that the creature will eventually have enough and flee. Then the fun starts all over again and you need to track down the beast once more.
Golden Scorpions and Ice Beasts
Currently, there are two such Guardian Raids on the site Steparu.com. One of them targets the golden scorpion Nakrasena. At another time, the team hunts a beast called “Arctic Regioros” in an icy wasteland.

In each boss fight, you only have a limited number of respawns, so you cannot die too often. Guardian Raids are therefore only for experienced players who work well as a team and help each other out. We have embedded the videos of the fight against both Guardian bosses here. Enjoy watching!

In Destiny 2 multiple ways have been discovered to quickly farm faction tokens. You need these to get faction-specific loot.
The group battles have started, and the factions Dead Orbit, New Monarchy, and Future War Cult are gathering the Guardians to win them over for their cause.
You are to collect faction tokens for the respective faction in various activities. The faction whose Guardians find the most tokens in one week and thus acquire the most reward packages wins. The winning faction will be announced on October 3. They will then exclusively sell a special weapon.
Meanwhile, numerous Guardians are busy bringing in tokens for their faction. After all, the tokens are not just about victory, but also about faction-specific loot. When you redeem the tokens with the faction, you will receive reward packages that can contain a variety of tasty items.
So: How can you efficiently obtain faction tokens to snag as much faction loot as possible in the week?
The best farming method is Lost Sectors
Within the Guardian community, several methods have quickly been developed to obtain as many tokens as possible in the shortest time: The Lost Sectors turned out to be the best source. You receive tokens by destroying the resources within them. They look like this:
Nexxoss Gaming shows you in the video two Lost Sectors that he can recommend for farming:

The first Lost Sector is located in the gorge in the EDZ. Ride your Sparrow in there, destroy the resources, ignore the enemies, and run back out again. As soon as you are back in the gorge area (i.e., you have changed zones), you can return to the Lost Sector and destroy the resources again. In this Lost Sector, you can bring out the Sparrow to go back in.
In each run, you receive three tokens. And since a run only takes a few seconds, you will accumulate large amounts of tokens in no time. You can repeat the fun as long as you want. Because this farming method can be monotonous.
Another Lost Sector is located in the church. Nexxoss shows this one in the video as well – if you need some variety while farming.
In the reddit forum, a Lost Sector on Io, in the Lost Oasis proves itself. Although this one is quite spacious, it offers a hefty 6 resources – and thus 6 tokens per run. Here is a video about it:

The latest patch for Heroes of the Storm is live. The Overwatch hero Ana has packed her healing weapons and is making the Nexus more vibrant.
Last night (26.08.2017), a new hero was released for Heroes of the Storm. From the hero shooter Overwatch comes the new hero Ana, who now serves as a healer to keep her team alive. Of course, she also brought along her extremely annoying Sleep Dart, which will definitely ruin the mood of many opponents. Let’s take another look at her abilities.
In Overwatch, Ana is a sniper who can heal while also negating enemy healing – exactly these traits are also given to her in Heroes of the Storm.

Ana’s passive ability is Poisoned Bullets. Each automatic attack applies a poison effect to the enemy, stacking up to 5 times. Additionally, Ana has a greater range than most other heroes.
Healing Dart is a skill shot and heals the first allied target hit for a moderate amount. The dart has a short cooldown and penetrates all minions and enemy heroes.
Biotic Grenade works similarly as in Overwatch. Ana throws a grenade to a target area. Allies hit are healed and receive an additional 25% healing from all sources for a few seconds. Enemies hit take minor damage and cannot be healed for a few seconds.
The Stun Dart also functions like in Overwatch. The dart is fired in a straight line and puts the first enemy hit to sleep for a few seconds. Damage taken ends the sleep early.
Ana’s first heroic ability is Nanoboost. This can only be used on allied heroes (not on herself). The target regenerates a large portion of its mana, receives a strong bonus to its ability power for a few seconds, and has drastically reduced cooldowns.
Eye of Horus is Ana’s second heroic ability. Ana enters a sniper position immediately and can fire multiple shots across the entire map. Enemies hit take damage, allies hit are healed.
Mastering Ana will likely be a difficult task, as she must always be in a good position to have a clear line of sight on all allies.
In addition, there is the new Battlefield Volskaya Industries and a fresh in-game event where both teams have to “open loot boxes” at the start of the match until one finds the golden prize. This unlocks portraits, banners, spray logos, and emojis.
The next hero for Heroes of the Storm is already known. Junkrat is packing his RIP-Tire and will also head to the Nexus in a few weeks.
A huge wave of EX Raid invitations now allows trainers to fight Mewtwo in Pokémon GO. Niantic continues the roll-out.
Anyone who wants to fight Mewtwo in Pokémon GO must be invited to an exclusive raid. Since the Pokémon GO developers at Niantic are still testing this feature, not every trainer can participate yet.
Last night, invitations were sent out generously, and many of you can now look forward to a battle against the legendary monster.
EX Raids at regular gyms
Last week, the EX Raids were first expanded to Europe. After initially only America and parts of Asia received invitations, trainers in Germany now also have the chance for these special battles. It quickly became clear: This initially only affected sponsored gyms.
On the night of today, September 27, the invitation areas were expanded. EX Raids are now also taking place at non-sponsored gyms!
As Niantic already explained at the launch of the “field test” for EX Raids, the test areas are to be gradually expanded. This aims to give more and more trainers the opportunity to participate in the tests until they are finally fully activated and more gyms qualify for it.
In our Pokémon GO group on Facebook, trainers are already exchanging information about the new invitations. Many trainer groups received the coveted invitations last night, including Jonathan K. and his trainer friends. On Facebook, he sent us a screenshot of his EX Raid invitation for October 1:
Not every gym is included
Unfortunately, the new invitations have not yet reached more trainers. The feature is still being tested and is expected to be released in the coming weeks. Then, many more trainers should get the opportunity to participate in these special battles.
In an email newsletter, the Pokémon GO team writes: “The EX Raid battle field tests are in full swing. Thousands of players worldwide have been invited to battle Mewtwo, and many more trainers will follow in the coming weeks. Go out and participate in raid battles in the gyms around you to have a chance to battle Mewtwo!”
A new hotfix for World of Warcraft is targeting druids. They are no longer “one-hit wonders” in World PvP.
Although Blizzard is currently working on the next Patch 7.3.2 for World of Warcraft, the developers are taking the opportunity to introduce a small hotfix. With the Netherlight Crucible, the balance of power in World of Warcraft has shifted once again. In particular, druids will suffer under the new hotfix, and their dominance in PvP is likely to shrink significantly – but it was sorely needed!

The beta of Star Wars Battlefront 2 is just around the corner, and a long trailer reveals tons of new features for the Star Wars shooter, including all planets, classes, heroes, and vehicles.
Battlefront II is the successor to the controversial first Battlefront, which looked great but lacked gameplay depth.
This should change in the second part, which brings more of everything that was good in Battlefront 1 and improves on a few things. A new trailer for the beta launch on October 6 (October 4 for pre-orders) shows the extent of the changes in Battlefront 2.
Battlefront 2 has more than four times as many planets as Battlefront 1
In the almost 5-minute trailer, John Boyega, better known as the former Stormtrooper Finn from Episode VII, presents the features of Battlefront 2.
The good news right away: Battlefront 2 will have more of everything at launch than the release version of Battlefront 1:
18 instead of 4 worlds, including Ryloth, Kashyyyk, and Kamino
14 instead of 6 heroes, such as Darth Maul, Rey, and Kylo Ren
39 instead of 11 vehicles, like tanks, AT-STs, and starships
Additionally, Battlefront 2 once again offers classes such as:
Assault: Has medium range and explosive weapons
Heavy: Has heavy blasters and shields
Specialist: A sniper with traps
Officer: Can give commands and request turrets
In the multiplayer mode, you can play in Battlefront 2 for the first time in 5 modes:
Starfighter Assault: multistage battles in space
Galactic Assault: 20 vs 20 massive battles
Blast: fast deathmatch at close range
Strike: strategic combat for mission objectives
Heroes vs. Villains: duels between a team of heroes and a villain team
Heroes against battle points instead of power-ups – New characters planned
Heroes like Rey or Darth Maul, as well as special ships like the Millennium Falcon, are only available in Battlefront 2 through battle points. You have to earn them through good performance during the fight. The annoying power-ups from Battlefront 1 are a thing of the past.
Additionally, EA plans to introduce more heroes via updates. The first newcomers will reportedly be Finn and the grim stormtrooper commander Captain Phasma, allowing the tall woman in silver armor to finally experience some action after she only served as decoration and garbage filler in Episode VII.

Cayde-6 has new treasure maps available in Destiny 2. We will show you the locations of the treasures on Io!
Once you have completed the story of Destiny 2, you can go on a treasure hunt. Because then Cayde-6 will bring you new treasure maps with each weekly reset, showing the locations of hidden chests.
The treasure maps will lead you to a different one of the four worlds each week. This time it’s Io. Buy the treasure maps for 4800 Glimmer each and off you go!
There can be a variety of different items in the hiding spots, from mods and emblems to blue and legendary items, as well as exotic engrams! Sometimes there are also strange things like journal entries that you can hand in to Cayde-6.
Treasure Locations on Io
Once you have bought a treasure map, the treasure will be displayed on the Io map with a pick symbol. This is what the symbols look like: You cannot mark the locations – which means you can only see the approximate location. Once you are there, you have to search for it yourself.
On Io, there is one treasure near the Pyramidion, one is between the Rift and the Lost Oasis, two are near “The Giant’s Scar,” and one is at the Ghost Mines.
Venero TV shows you the exact locations; we provide the timestamps below:

Tips and Tricks for the Ultimate Team Mode of FIFA 18, for FUT 18, are presented here. This way you can succeed at the start! This is how you can get many coins and good players early on.
FIFA 18 has officially launched, and numerous players are diving into the Ultimate Team mode to create their “ultimate team.” However, this is not as easy as it seems, especially FUT beginners can quickly feel overwhelmed by this complex mode and overlook important things.
Therefore, we provide you with 15 tips that you can quickly and easily implement to kickstart your Ultimate Team!
15 Tips and Tricks for FUT 18 – How to Succeed at the Start
If you do not yet own FIFA 18, you first need to decide which edition you want to buy. With the Ronaldo Edition and the ICON Edition, you will receive bonus sets and additional loan players for FUT, but these editions also cost more than the standard edition. If you plan to play a lot of FUT, you might go for one of the more expensive editions. Because you’ll get 3 days of early access on top.
Once you have installed FIFA 18 on your platform, you can get started with these tips:
Log in daily to the Web App or Companion App. In the first days of FIFA 18, there are daily gifts in the form of coins and packs. And at the start of FUT 18, you can use every coin you can get!
If you are willing to invest a few extra euros in FIFA Points that you can use to open packs, do this as early as possible. Over the course of the season, players lose value. In other words, at the beginning of FUT 18, you will get the most for your money.
Buy coin boosts in the “EAS FC Catalog” before your first game. You need to earn the currency required. If you played FIFA 17, your EAS FC coins will carry over. With the coin boosts, you will receive additional coins in FUT 18 after each game. You can also gift EAS FC items to a friend and vice versa. This way you save EAS FC coins.
In the first days, do not focus on creating a top team with the most expensive players. First build a weaker but effective team of players that you can later use as substitutes.
Maximize Chemistry! You achieve this by placing players of the same nationality, same league, or even the same club. Additionally, players should play in positions that suit them. The higher the chemistry, the better the performance of your players. All information on this in our chemistry guide.
When building your first team, do not focus too much on the overall ratings, but more on the right positions, the chemistry, and the individual stats of the players.
At the beginning, focus only on one team. Invest all coins into this team. Later you can deal with other teams, kits, or badges.
Do not buy packs with your coins at the beginning. The chance of getting a valuable player is low. Invest the coins first in a solid team.
Play your first games in single-player mode on low difficulty. Get to know “the new FIFA” before trying online.
Never give up! If you quit a match in frustration, your coin modifier decreases. This means you will earn fewer coins in future matches. It takes many games to earn back the most coins after matches again.
Squad-building challenges are a great way to convert unneeded inexpensive players into better FUT items.
If you want to try trading early – in the initial days, the market is still unstable, large profits, but also losses are possible – then read our trading guide.
Do not buy players during the “prime time” in the transfer market. Players are usually most expensive at night. They are cheapest at night and in the morning.
Starting today, Fortnite’s battle royale mode is available for free download for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Our author Leya will test the new mode in a live stream starting at 6:00 PM.
Today, on September 26, we will host a live stream on Mein-MMO. I will be playing the new battle royale mode of Fortnite and diving into the fight for survival!
In recent days, the new mode from Epic Games has made headlines. This was due to a press release from the developer Bluehole, the creators of PUBG. Bluehole expressed their frustration that Epic Games is releasing a nearly identical game with Fortnite and even promoting it alongside PUBG.
Fortnite’s battle royale will be free-to-play and will be available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
We are curious to see how Fortnite’s battle royale mode plays and how different it is from PUBG. Therefore, we spontaneously decided to host a gameplay stream to take a closer look at it.
In the stream, I will play a few rounds in Fortnite’s battle royale mode on PC and try to survive as long as possible. I warmly invite you to come by and explore this new mode with me.
Date and time of the stream:
When? The stream will take place on Tuesday, September 26.
What time? The stream will run for 3 hours from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
Today we are talking about a peculiar place in World of Warcraft. The tavern of Goldshire, where everything revolves around sex.
A little warning in advance:The topic is a bit harsher than what you usually read on our site. You have been warned.
If you ask role players in World of Warcraft on the server The Aldor about Goldshire, then the topic is somewhat like the third cousin who shows up to every family gathering, causing you to smack your forehead in shame and hope no one associates you with that guy.
The topic isn’t really new. Goldshire has had its reputation for over a decade now, across all roleplay realms.
The article tells accounts of victims of “virtual rape”, about intrusive players who would “stalk” others because it makes them feel “really good”.
A popular expression in Goldshire.
Like the folks from Buffed, I see what is happening in Goldshire quite differently than the author of the “rape” article.
Goldshire is not a den where crazy rapists roam free hunting innocent characters, rather Goldshire is the swinger club of World of Warcraft. Everyone knows what’s going on there. Anyone who goes there knows roughly what will take place – and that is consensual, and thus much less harmful than one might think. Because those who are not interested can simply ignore it. But unfortunately, that does not lead to a big scandal.
Let’s start from the beginning.
What is the Goldshire Tavern “Cave of the Lion”?
On most servers, the tavern “Cave of the Lion” in Goldshire, located in Elwynn Forest, has a pretty bad reputation. It is said to be primarily about eRP, meaning “erotic roleplay”. Lots of half-naked characters lined up waiting to engage in some debauchery.
Is that true? Absolutely.
Chickens on a stick. A big “selection” for everyone.
I personally believe that this is more about cybersex because it appears to be more about the urges of the players behind the characters rather than the characters themselves, but one can surely debate this definition.
Fact is, that in this tavern (especially on RP-realms) at any time of day or night there are a lot of characters present, most of them female and lightly dressed. If anyone wonders where the term “Slutmog” comes from – it was surely created for Goldshire.
10, 20, 30 or even more characters stand around in Goldshire and typically stare at each other in silence – because the “action” takes place in whisper chat.
And this is precisely where the statements from the Motherboard article annoy me.
Everyone knows what is happening in Goldshire
Anyone who wanders into the “Cave of the Lion” might get the creepy impression that a strange cult is gathered here – as it is dead silent in the say channel. Maybe someone might jump on the table and start dancing wildly, but “public rapes” are pretty drastic in a way that I just can’t imagine that it really happens there – it would be such hot topic in the forums and general channels that it would spread like wildfire and lead to bans for those players in just a few hours.
Also the screenshot of the elf who claims in the “say” channel that she has already been “raped 5 times here”, but “keeps coming back because her friends are here”, makes me roll my eyes in annoyance.
I wonder whether anyone still thinks in context or is simply desperately searching for some sensation. Because if the player of a “raped elf” keeps returning to Goldshire and apparently interacts with other players who roleplay such things – then evidently it is because someone enjoys playing an elf who is “taken” by someone.
Sounds too harsh to be true? Not at all. In a role-playing add-on such as Total RP, players can describe all sorts of details about their character. While “real” role players usually have their descriptions in there, the Goldshire crowd describes how submissive their character is, what inhibitions they might have, or even provide a link to a page listing fetishes. So one cannot really speak of a “poor rape victim” here.
Can one find the eRP of such people disgusting and repulsive? Yup, absolutely! But at the end of the day, to phrase it bluntly, it’s just two guys whispering dirty messages to each other, getting each other aroused.
Other passages and quotes in the article I also find quite strange. Like the description of the dwarf who runs through the tavern with a snow cannon, asking “Who wants sperm?” and then splattering all players with snow. That does not sound like a devious rapist to me, but rather like the silly humor of a pubescent boy indulging in the anonymity of the internet while giggling stupidly.
Can one still find that ridiculous and report it to teach him a lesson? Of course! He would get in trouble for that just as he would if he drew male genitalia on the blackboard of his class and got caught doing it.
The article is sensationalist and so far removed from reality that statements like “WoW has a rape problem” genuinely leave me in disbelief.
Here’s the “public action” from Goldshire in fast motion. But don’t fall asleep from boredom!

AGE 12 – Clear Stance?
What one doesn’t need to argue much about is the fact that World of Warcraft is a game for ages 12 and up. There’s a good reason for that, and protecting young players is an important task. Those who are confronted with such matters should make good use of the reporting function and immediately discuss it with their parents. No question. The protection of children’s welfare is extremely important.
Nevertheless, I believe it is somewhat naive to really think that a “AGE 12” label could ensure that all players live in a completely protected environment where they are never confronted with inappropriate content. That would be over once the “Anal” game breaks out in the trade channel again, where people try to “jokingly” connect the word “anal” with the name of a tooltip. In WoW and everywhere else in life, there is no absolute security against dangers.
Should Blizzard take action if someone sexually explicitly messages someone who never wanted that?Absolutely!
Can Blizzard see into the future and should they check private whisper conversations between players that haven’t been reported? No way. That would be way too far for me.
A clear warning sign. Those who distribute maximum “Lustful” points in character traits have the matching reputation.
Live and Let Live?
I personally now believe that we should just leave the people in Goldshire alone. Sure, it is annoying that this causes the “beautiful place” Goldshire to be out of bounds for “real” RP. Ultimately, it is just one place out of thousands that exist in World of Warcraft. Isn’t it nice to know that most of “these people” are all gathered in one spot? You can easily avoid them!
The people who come and go in Goldshire know exactly what to expect. If someone just runs in there to quest, they may stop in shock and see a lot of naked pixel skin, but after a “lol” they probably leave right away.
My point is: Those who actively participate there and respond to the “whispers” know what is going on. This is not a hidden scene place but plainly known and has been a topic in general channels multiple times a day. Anyone who has never heard of “Pornshire” simply has a tunnel vision that even the worst deception rogues in PvP would envy with emo music.
As long as it’s two players who agree on what they want and play it out separately in whisper chat – Yes, you have my blessing! I just don’t want to know the details. Or to phrase it in the wise words of my grandma: A person’s will is their heaven.
Serious Problems? Definitely.
That sometimes on a role-playing server, one receives whispers of filth while playing a female character “comes with the territory”. It is not pleasant. Sometimes it is truly disgusting. But: This is not a Goldshire problem. It happens “now and then”. Whether in Stormwind at the auction house or while questing in Suramar.
Every few months you receive a whispered emote where some hand strays into a restricted area or you are asked if you would like to “have a quickie” or if your elf had already trained away the gag reflex.
Congratulations, welcome to the ignore list and thanks for wasting 3 more minutes of my life for a ticket.
It is disgusting and should be condemned. Perhaps a warning of 3 days ban, followed by a permanent ban would help. Those who “directly” message others with such content (regardless of where in the game world), in my opinion, should lose their account as quickly as possible.
There seems to be a thought among some players that on RP servers, everyone is permanently horny and lying in the bushes. From my experience, such whispers usually do not come from “real” role players, as they would at least have a flag add-on, but from outsiders visiting the server or those who have an overdose of hormones in their body. The “local” people are busy entertaining each other in Goldshire.
No Measure and No Rule
And despite all that I have mentioned above, there are a number of people who clearly overstep the lines. There are some players who have apparently shed any decency, have no shame, and have rather explicit character descriptions. These are not “hidden”, but just a click away. Anyone generally curious about the flags of other players can take a look. And what you read there might turn some stomachs. Here are a few “nice” examples of special prominence. Click to enlarge and read at your own risk.
I dislike “name-calling”, therefore the names of the corresponding characters are hidden. Perhaps the affected individuals might feel a bit embarrassed after all:
And for those who still have enough strength to comment on the topic, I expect your opinions under this article.
What are your thoughts on the Goldshire problem? Live and let live? As long as everything stays in whisper chat, can they do what they want? Or should Blizzard check this themselves and punish any game of this kind immediately?
