In Destiny 2, Xur arrives today on September 22nd. Where is Xur and what items does he have for sale? Location and inventory this week.
Last week, Xur was still a big mystery that many Guardians were eagerly waiting for. “What is Xur bringing in Destiny 2? And can he be found at all, if he can appear across all four worlds?”
Well, a week later, we know:
Xur brings 4 items weekly – one exotic weapon and one exotic armor piece for each of the three Guardian classes.
Xur hides well in the worlds (last week he was in a tree!), however, he will be marked on the map. That means as soon as you are at the console, you can find him within seconds.
Since Xur shows up here at 11 AM and many of you want to know what the tentacle-faced vendor brings even from work or during lunch breaks, we will of course continue our weekly Xur articles. Especially since Xur’s inventory is no longer displayed on the official Bungie site.
Let’s welcome Xur together!
All Information about Xur in Destiny 2 on September 22nd on PS4 and Xbox One
The Times – When Does Xur Arrive?
Xur appears today at 11 AM. He will remain until Tuesday, September 26th, at 11 AM. In Destiny 1, he didn’t stay as long with the Guardians. He would disappear by Sunday. During the time from Friday to Tuesday, you can browse his inventory, and if you quietly stand next to him, he will happily chat with you.
Where is Xur? Location today
Xur also has certain locations in Destiny 2 where he likes to stay over the weekend. Xur is this time on Titan in “The Rig”! He is quite well hidden. You need to jump to the lowest level and into a hole in the wall. Nexxoss Gaming will guide you there:

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is no longer just a game. The fan filmmakers from Corridor Digital have created a hilarious fan film. It features everything that constitutes a typical PUBG round.
In PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, the goal is for single players or teams to kill each other until only one remains, proclaiming “Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner!” as they claim victory. The gameplay is inspired by battle royale films such as the famous “Hunger Games” and the namesake work “Battle Royale”.
By now, the circle between game and film has closed again, as the fan filmmakers from Corridor Digital have depicted a typical PUBG round in a funny short film.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds as a fan film with all the bells and whistles
The film “The BATTLEGROUNDS” does not take itself too seriously, but perfectly captures the essence of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. The game is famous for various outrageous to silly scenarios. From bulletproof pans to sneaky Koreans who infiltrate an enemy team and rowdy streamers who provoke controversies with team kills.
Therefore, the film also contains the full dose of beloved PUBG clichés, including:
Pro gamers with cool leather jackets
Supply crates that become death traps.
Noob teams that are poorly equipped and don’t know what to do
Bulletproof frying pans
A typical PUBG match
The film revolves around the final moments of a typical PUBG match. Besides a pro gamer, two squads are left. A couple of good, fully equipped players and a horde of noobs who only have a pan, a shotgun, and a single assault rifle. As is often the case in squad mode, one of the four beginners doesn’t even get a weapon and can only run around aimlessly.
In this situation, a supply drop is airdropped. In the game, such crates are always filled with cool weapons and items. However, since they can be seen from afar, they become an El Dorado for campers waiting for greedy or desperate players. And exactly such a scenario unfolds in the BATTLEGROUNDS film. And if you’ve always wanted to know what the reward is at the end of a PUBG round, you’ll finally find out here. We’ve embedded the film for you. Enjoy watching!

In Destiny 2, the Faction Rally starts next week, offering unique rewards for the winners!
Two weeks ago, Bungie released a graphic detailing the activities scheduled for September in Destiny 2. It showed that a Faction Rally will start on September 26. However, what exactly this entails was not previously known.
Now there is detailed information from Senior Designer Tim Williams, who talks about the “Faction Rallies,” which are referred to as “Group Battles” in the German blog post.
What are the Group Battles in Destiny 2?
The upcoming Faction Rally is a limited-time event.
Each of the groups in the Tower hosts a rally to gather resources for their cause. They recruit Guardians – that is, you – to collect supplies and destroy enemy resources.
Specifically, this means: You can go to Arach Jalaal (Dead Orbit), Lakshmi-2 (FWC), or Executor Hideo (New Monarchy) in the Tower, pledge your allegiance to one of them, and then complete a variety of activities to fight for their cause. You support the faction by completing Public Events, Strikes, and the Raid, looting Lost Sectors, or proving yourself in the Crucible.
Requirements are: You must be level 20 and have access to the Tower.
What are the rewards of the Faction Rally?
Once you have mastered activities, you will receive Faction Tokens. You can exchange these for reward packages that are rumored to be full of loot.
Bungie shared images of the Faction rewards, showing that the packages may contain faction-specific armor pieces, weapons, and shaders, as well as Legendary Shards and other items.
The items from the Dead Orbit:
The items from the New Monarchy:
The items from the Future War Cult:
But that’s not all: Each faction offers a special weapon that they only sell if the faction emerges as the winner of the rally. In other words, only one of the three special weapons will be available at the end of the rally. The faction wins whose Guardians open the most reward packages.
These are the special weapons:
Dead Orbit – Scout Rifle:
New Monarchy – Hand Cannon:
Future War Cult – Pulse Rifle:
The winning faction offers this special weapon not only to the Guardians who pledged their loyalty, but to all Guardians. However, with the difference:
The Guardians who were members of the winning faction will receive the weapon for 1000 Glimmer.
All others must pay 50,000 Glimmer.
The winner will be announced on October 3 at 7 PM.
The launch excitement surrounding Destiny 2 is slowly fading. Time to look to the future. The crucial question has been open for two years: What are the contractors that Activision has hired to support Bungie doing?
It is a strange situation. For exactly 2 years now, we have known that Activision has set High Moon Studios to work on Destiny 2 to support Bungie. This was announced back then. But what are they actually doing?
Contractors for Destiny
High Moon Studios has been around since the early 2000s, later acquired by Activision, and has since been a “publisher-owned studio” based in California. The development team can therefore be deployed by Activision as needed. And since 2015, the need has been for Destiny. Because Bungie is unable to maintain a consistent flow of content in Seattle despite all resources and needs support.
Even today, you can read on the High Moon Studios website: “We are teaming up with Bungie to support the growing, award-winning Destiny universe.”
But we have not known for 2 years what specifically is happening there, what they are contributing to Destiny in California.
Instead, we heard more about Vicarious Visions before the launch of Destiny 2, another studio that is handling the PC version of Destiny 2 in partnership with Bungie.
High Moon Studios is Hiring People with Destiny Experience
To what extent content from High Moon Studios is in Destiny 2, we do not know. The studio does almost no public relations. There is no peep about Destiny 2 and the enormous launch success on social media. Bungie claims that success entirely for itself.
However, we know that the “High Moon Studios” are still assigned to Destiny 2 and are expected to deliver substantial content:
The trail leads to Mars – Is the 2nd DLC set there?
In a report from Kotaku in late 2015, it was stated that they had “taken a Mars section along with strikes, raids, and a social space” away from Bungie and handed it over to High Moon Studios. However, the Kotaku report is already two years old.
Back then, it was said that these Mars sections were supposed to be part of the large Comet expansion for Destiny 1, which later became “The Taken King.” However, this plan was scrapped in March 2014.
These game contents on Mars have not yet appeared in Destiny 1 or Destiny 2. However, we know: Nothing is ever discarded in Destiny.
Perhaps High Moon Studios is working on the 2nd DLC for Destiny 2, which will take place on Mars. There is surprisingly a lot to support this.
This concept art has been associated with a Warmind raid.
Is the 2nd DLC of Destiny 2 about Mars and Warmind?
There are some parallels between the 1st DLC and the “Mars game content” that High Moon Studios is likely working on:
Just as in Destiny 1, Mercury and the character Osiris were underutilized, the same applies to Mars and the Warminds.
Just as in the original story plan Osiris played a larger role, the same is true for the Mars Warmind Charlemagne. His role was originally intended to be larger, but he completely disappeared from the final game.
It could also be the case that Charlemagne is crossed or mixed with the role of the Warmind Rasputin. Bungie has always liked to do that (also with the Exo Stranger or Mara Sov’s brother). Rasputin was also meant to play a much bigger role in Destiny originally.
Therefore, there is a lot of evidence that High Moon Studios has been working on this forgotten part of Destiny since 2015 and is reworking it into a DLC for Destiny 2.
This would also correspond to the logo of the Season Pass: Experts saw a hint of a “Warmind” DLC in the 2nd image.
In any case, two interesting questions about the future of Destiny 2 hang in the air:
Can Activision maintain the content flow this time and provide Destiny 2 with substantial game content?
And will there be a noticeable difference in quality if game content is no longer primarily developed by Bungie, but by other studios?
Well, it looks like we’ve just figured out what’s in the second DLC of Destiny 2. But that’s still music of the future. More about the current Destiny 2 can be read here:
The action game Crossout (PS4, PC, and Xbox One) is getting a new faction that supplies you with weapons and parts. The crazy scientists from the “Dawn Children” offer you lasers, floating hovercrafts, and Tesla cannons with which you dominate the battlefield.
In Crossout, you race through the devastated wasteland in post-apocalyptic junk cars, destroying each other in battles reminiscent of World of Tanks. The “destroying” part is to be taken literally, as you can blow apart any vehicle piece by piece thanks to the complex damage model.
After the scrap frenzy, you head to your trusted scrap dealer and buy even more crazy weapons and upgrades. With the upcoming update “Dawn Children”, there will be a faction of insane scientists that sell you high-tech stuff, in addition to the usual scrap dealers.
Dawn Children – Get Tesla Coils, Melee Lasers & Hovercrafts
The crazy and extremely rude scientists from the “Dawn Children” have not lost their research drive despite the apocalypse and have cheerfully developed more technologies with which the few survivors can eliminate each other even more effectively. What else should researchers do with their time after a global catastrophe?
Therefore, you now have the Dawn Children as a new faction that will sell you the following technologies:
Anti-grav engines, with which you float above the ground and zoom around at lightning speed. However, keep in mind that as a hoverer, you are particularly susceptible to recoil and damaged engines can quickly throw you off course.
Coil melee lasers, which barely overheat and are ideal for close combat!
The plasma weapon “Quasar”, which fires extremely hot plasma. The stuff explodes on impact and incinerates several enemies at once.
If you prefer to roast opponents one by one, get the Tesla Coil “Spark” and shoot chain lightning with it.
As an alternative to anti-grav engines, the crazy researchers offer you all-metal tires that have particularly good grip in the wasteland.
New Locations and a PvE Raid in the Update
In addition to the Dawn Children faction, the new update for Crossout offers the following goodies:
PvE Raid “Chase”: Here you are to capture a cargo that is escorted by two powerful combat vehicles. You can only take down the heavy ones as a team. Also, watch out for the many smaller raiders that can also be dangerous in large numbers.
New location “Cursed Mines”: A labyrinth of old mine shafts where there are many opportunities for ambushes.
New location “Broken Arrow”: Here you fight for a spaceport located in a valley. Ideal for snipers!
Crossout enjoys continuing popularity on Steam. On average, nearly 5,000 players are currently enjoying the vehicle mayhem. The community is also looking forward to the Dawn Children update. It’s the perfect time to start playing the game yourself.

With the next raid in World of Warcraft, things look grim for Illidan. What he has to say as a farewell, we reveal here.
The data miners have done a great job in World of Warcraft again, thoroughly examining the small mini-patch 7.3.2. In doing so, there were some drastic revelations about the future of Azeroth.
But there was more to discover, namely the future of Illidan.If you don’t want spoilers, you should close the article now.
Many players complained that Illidan did not interact at all with Tyrande and Malfurion after his awakening in the Night Fortress. Their stories are closely interwoven – after all, Malfurion is Illidan’s brother, and both have courted the same woman, namely Tyrande.
With the release of Antorus, the Burning Throne, the likely last raid of World of Warcraft: Legion, there is now such an interaction. Illidan makes the ultimate sacrifice to trap the dark titan Sargeras, while he himself gets sealed away.
Before he does this, he hands over some crystals to the heroes that contain messages for various people – namely for the player, for Malfurion, and ultimately also for Tyrande.

While he praises the player for being as concerned about Azeroth as Illidan himself, Malfurion and Tyrande receive longer texts. He urges his brother to protect the world and Tyrande, as he can no longer do so himself.
However, the saddest message is to Tyrande. Illidan speaks here once again about his feelings that he has harbored for 10,000 years and how it was the memory of her that kept him sane even in the darkest times.

Cortyn says: Illidan is such a cool and iconic Warcraft character that I find it hard to really let go of him. Especially when he told Tyrande, “Although I often wished that your heart had made a different choice, I know that ultimately… it was the right one,” I had a lump in my throat. Well done, Blizzard. It looks like a worthy farewell.
What do you think of Illidan’s last words to his brother and the love of his life? A worthy farewell or cheesy nonsense that could have been omitted?
With a German localization, the hack and slash MMO “Guardians of Ember” is now launching its final version on Steam. Whether this performs better with fans than the Early Access version will soon be seen.
The Early Access of Guardians of Ember has now ended after nine months. During the early phase of the game, the developers gathered valuable feedback from players. In the final version, you can now expect many new content and a German localization.
During Early Access on Steam “balanced” only
The MMO action RPG “Guardians of Ember” mixes MMO elements with hack and slash. Community reviews during the Early Access were mixed. Perhaps the full release will bring new energy and improve the ratings on Steam, which are currently only “balanced” and 59% positive.
The combat system was often criticized for not doing justice to the “fast” genre.
GoE promotes the final version with a playground for action fans and new content for the already existing community. The nightmare difficulty level for dungeons is new in the game and offers you valuable loot.
Additionally, the experience points distribution while playing in a group has been revised. In line with this, there is a new group search.
In the fight against aggressive monsters and tough raid bosses, upgrading your guild will help you. This gives access to a total of 14 different bonuses that provide advantages when fighting. The bonuses range from additional critical damage to extra regeneration.

The community has been helping the developers improve the game since the Early Access. There are six classes (Dark Knight, Ranger, Engineer, Priest, Arcanist, Knight) that you can play in various acts or dungeons. Additionally, there is the PvE “Horde Mode”, where your group must face multiple waves of enemies.
If you succeed in the Horde Mode, you will earn honor points that you can use for crafting materials to make high-end gear.
The underground in The Division is being revised with Update 1.8. From now on, you will encounter Hunters!
The State of the Game just aired on 21st September, which, as in previous weeks, was packed with information about Update 1.8. This time, the developers talked about the new underground and the PTS, the Public Test Servers.
Everything new in the underground
The underground was introduced as a paid DLC content in summer 2016. Since then, it has not undergone any changes. For months, agents have been requesting the developers to give this mode more attention, to make it exciting and rewarding again.
That’s exactly what is supposed to happen with Update 1.8. For 6 months, the developers from Ubisoft Leamington have been working on the new underground. They have read a lot of feedback from the community to give this mode a fresh look.
These are the most important innovations in the underground:
Hunters are coming! These are the powerful enemies you already know from Survival. In the underground, Hunters can appear unexpectedly at any time. They will search for you. They might find you during a run or not – but usually they do. You never know whether and when you will be attacked by Hunters in the underground.
If the Hunters defeat you and you need to respawn, they will not appear in that run again. They can appear only once per run. The rule is: They are always in the majority by +1. If there are two of you, three Hunters will appear. If you start with four in the underground, five Hunters will appear.
In the new underground, there will be checkpoints. If you die, you will not have to start completely from the beginning. That was too frustrating.
Weekly assignments will be introduced for the underground.
The Rave Room is returning and can randomly appear in a run!
The previous directives are being completely removed. Instead, 5 new directives are coming. They should be fun and challenging. Two examples were given:
The UI and the map flicker; they are displayed incorrectly and can only be recognized occasionally. In return, the skills have shorter cooldowns and can be used more frequently.
You receive continuous shock ammunition, which allows you to stun enemies. However, you must not fire too long in a row, as each shot fills a bar, and when this bar is full, you will be shocked yourself. If you do not shoot, the bar will deplete:
The blue bar is the “shock bar”. This should not fill completely.
PTS on PC starts tomorrow, console PTS is likely postponed
Update 1.8 is now picking up speed. Already tomorrow, on 22nd September, PC agents will be able to access the PTS for 1.8, the public test servers.
They are trying to make the PTS available for consoles PS4 and Xbox One on 26th September as well, but this date is likely to be postponed. Massive will announce soon whether they can meet the date.
While all PC agents can participate in the PTS, the console PTS is again limited. This was already the case with Update 1.7. You need a key. Those who had a key for 1.7 may participate in 1.8 again. Massive will distribute more in the near future.
At the start of the PTS, the new underground will not be active yet. However, you can visit the West Side Pier (the new PvE area) and Camp Clinton (the new social hub), play the new PvP mode “Conflict”, test the fresh Exotics and six new secret gear sets, and try out the gear enhancement.
They have so much to test for 1.8 that they will unlock the individual activities on the PTS one by one.
You will find various weapon balance adjustments on the PTS as well as innovations in talents and gear sets. The “Hunter’s Faith” set is said to have been completely overhauled.
Further information about Update 1.8 can be found here:
The 1.71 update of Gaijin’s tank and air combat action game War Thunder brings long-awaited ground and air vehicles from the Cold War period. There are also new maps and finally turret control from the first-person perspective. Learn everything about the update and the new vehicles here.
The Second World War is slowly running out of steam and we have almost seen it all. However, the era of the Cold War that followed is hardly addressed in games. But the developers at Gaijin Entertainment have focused on this exciting era with update 1.71 for War Thunder and are offering plenty of ground and air vehicles from the 60s and 70s. New maps and improved gameplay mechanics are also included in the update.
War Thunder – Update 1.71 “New Era” – Modern Technology for Tanks
The highlight of update 1.71 is the new ground vehicles at rank VI. These vehicles are all from the 60s and 70s and are therefore significantly more modern than the current fleet in War Thunder. With the technological advances come new technologies to the battlefield, including:
Stabilized guns for better firing on the move
Improved smoke launchers
More hydraulic adjustable suspensions
Guided missile launchers
Composite and reactive armor
War Thunder – New Tank Protection – Composite and Reactive Armor
Especially the new armor technology is a novelty in War Thunder. In the 60s, grenades were first built that could penetrate 400mm of armored steel. However, since thicker armor layers were no longer militarily sensible, two new methods of armor protection were developed:
Composite armor: Different materials are layered on top of each other. The result provides protection just as good as steel but requires less mass and can therefore significantly increase armor.
Reactive armor: This curious protection measure uses explosive charges attached to the outer shell, which counteract the force of an incoming projectile with the power of their explosion, thereby reducing its focus and impact strength. This also neutralizes the armor-piercing “jet” of a shaped charge projectile.
Especially the reactive armor effectively protects in War Thunder against H.E.A.T. (High-Explosive Anti-Tank) rounds, but is less effective against conventional ammunition. Also keep in mind that the highly effective reactive armor works only once in the game. If an area that has already triggered its defense charge is hit again, the extra protection there is lost and hits directly against the underlying armor.

Also good to know: You can trigger the reactive armor with large-caliber machine guns. Therefore, the good old onboard MG is a great way to strip modern tanks of their extra protection in close combat!
War Thunder – New Tanks from the 60s and 70s!
The new vehicles for War Thunder particularly benefit from modern technology. The tanks at rank VI are from the 60s and 70s. They faced each other menacingly across the borders of the Iron Curtain or rolled over the battlefields of the Vietnam War. The following tanks are newly introduced in the game with update 1.71:
The German Main Battle Tank KPz-70: This tank was built in cooperation with the USA, so the US version is under the name MBT-70 in the research tree of the Americans. The KPz-70 is a powerful machine, whose composite armor is ideal against APDS munitions. However, the KPz-70 is vulnerable to HEAT rounds.
The Russian Main Battle Tank T-64A: The legendary T-64 was a revolution in tank design in the late 60s and was to be pioneering for a whole generation of modern Soviet tanks. The T-64A was the first tank to use reactive armor. Below, the tank carries stylish composite armor. Thus, the T-64 is ideally protected.
The US Tank Destroyer M50Ontos: This little rascal is equipped with 6 105mm guns, which can penetrate up to 380mm of armor steel. In the Vietnam War, it was only used to a limited extent, but in War Thunder it should see more action.
The British Main Battle Tank Chieftain MK 10: This upgrade of the Chieftain model has additional composite armor. This makes the tank much more robust against modern weapons.
The US Tank M60A1 (Rise): This old tank has been equipped with thick reactive armor for rank VI, which serves it well against HEAT munitions.
The Light Tank BMP-1 from Russia: This famous tank can easily swim and has a favorable silhouette. Thus, it can strike particularly hard from the “Hull-Down” position. Especially with its guided missile launcher!
The British Rocket Launcher Tank FV102 Striker: This little speedster has a multiple rocket launcher with which it fires 5 anti-tank missiles in one go. With some skill, you can take out opponents in droves!

In addition to the rank VI tanks, a number of other vehicles are introduced to the game, including the hefty Japanese Type 5 Ho-Ri or the Krupp-Steyr armed vehicle as a concept from the Second World War. New aircraft like the XA-38, the F4U or the P-51H Mustang are also coming.
War Thunder – New Battlefields and Rear Gunner Action with Update 1.71
To enjoy the many new tanks, there are two new locations with patch 1.71.
Fulda Gap: This battlefield is located near Fulda in Germany and could have been the first battlefield of World War III in the event of an escalation. Both sides could have quickly advanced through the “Fulda Gap,” so the location would have been fiercely contested. The map is dominated by picturesque farms, fields, and a castle.
Imperial Garden: This beautiful map is located in Japan and is dominated by the picturesque grounds of a palace with gardens. The magnificent architecture offers good protection from gunfire before inevitably shattering.
If you prefer more realistic air battles, you can participate in the battle for air superiority over the Hürtgen Forest. There, the longest battle between the Wehrmacht and the Allies took place during the Second World War.
This scenario is a good opportunity to test a new feature from patch 1.71: you can now control the rear gunner position from the first-person perspective!
It has been a while since the TSW remake Secret World Legends was quiet. With the new update “Tokyo – Beyond the Wall,” Tokyo now gets a new area – with new characters, new zones, and several hours of story!
Secret World Legends reaches with this update the point where The Secret World currently ends.
Behind the Wall – We report live!
On the journey behind the protective wall against the dirt, we delve into the secrets of the Fear Nothing Foundation, Morninglight, and the Orochi Corporation. What do these secretive organizations have to hide? And what does the killer with the rabbit mask have to do with it?
We at Mein-MMO have spared no expense or effort to equip our foreign correspondent in Japan, Benedict, for a live field trip. What exactly awaits him?

Benedict says: My stay in Japan was originally intended as a semester abroad for my studies. Now Schuhmann suddenly has the grand idea to send me to Tokyo (originally actually Tokyo, as it would be pronounced Tok-i-o in Japanese) – exactly to where the dirt first appeared. This dirt, which infects and changes humans, plants… actually everything as a highly potent pathogen. Thank you, Mr. Editor-in-Chief!
I will therefore venture behind “the wall”. Behind the protective wall that was once erected to contain this parasite. To where it all began. Not only that, but the trail of the rabbit-headed murderer is extremely hot right there. As if she has her burrow right there.
Creatures await me that I have not seen so far in Kingsmouth, nor in Egypt or anywhere else, not even with the crazy vampires in Transylvania.
My Journey to Tokyo in Secret World Legends
In the east of the area, I find the CDC camp, where the pathogen was first contained. The wall around Kaidan. According to my information, here are also the latest traces of the killer…
In the south stands the Orochi Housing Project. Once an industrial area, which was levelled by the Orochi Corp and turned into a place for families. Here, in a beautiful environment, the best talent should be promoted in special kindergartens. Maybe I will also find out where they all disappeared to.
In the west lies the Kaidan Harbor. Once a bustling hub for goods from all kinds of ships, the docks are now under the control of something strange oozing from an abandoned freighter. Maybe I’ll manage to open one of the containers and see what’s inside.
The abandoned buildings of the Orochi Housing Project.
Via a nearby railway line, I even come directly to the Orochi Tower. I am curious how the gentlemen and ladies in white will receive me.
Tokyo’s Downtown is more lively than thought
The Dream Palace in Tokyo. How can it still be standing?
The “dream hotel” Dream Palace is still standing in downtown Tokyo, advertising in bright letters with mysterious words from its no less mysterious owner Kaoru. However this dive can maintain itself in this area.
The Wall. Hopefully, I can enter safely AND get out again.
This was the latest report from Benedict. We await news from Tokyo.

“Coins through Trading” Guide – How to Trade Successfully in FUT 18
First of all, the note: Trading is not necessarily associated with “fun” and can turn into real work. However, if you trade successfully, you can efficiently accumulate coins this way.
The principle of trading is simple: You buy a player or any other card as cheaply as possible and sell it at a higher price. That sounds quite simple and straightforward at first.
However, there are two catches:
EA charges a fee for each trade. This EA fee is 5%. In other words: If you sell a player for 1000 coins on the transfer market, only 950 coins will be credited to you. EA keeps the remaining 50 coins. You must be aware of this 5% loss in every trading action. Because at higher sums, these 5% weigh heavily.
There is no guarantee that you will be able to sell the bought players or objects. Prices on the transfer market are volatile. A player may lose value quickly, and you might not be able to get rid of them. Then you will be stuck with the costs and may have to sell them below the purchase price. Losses are unfortunately part of trading. There is no guaranteed success.
Tips and Tricks for Trading on the Transfer Market
Important tips to start with, before we look at two methods:
Start trading as early as possible: The earlier you start trading in the season, the faster and more successful you will accumulate coins. Especially at the beginning, the market is still unstable, allowing you to make excellent deals. However, you must absolutely keep the following tip in mind.
Take your time to study the market: There is no guaranteed formula for success in trading; otherwise, everyone would use it. You must do most of the work yourself; we can only provide tips. You need to observe the market well. Look at the average selling prices for certain (player) cards and buy them when they are cheap. You can use the site FUTBin to monitor prices. The prices also vary depending on your platform: The transfer markets on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC are different!
Familiarize yourself with the “FUT 18” web app with which you can trade comfortably on PC.
Focus on a specific part of the transfer market: There are thousands upon thousands of cards on the market. You can never keep the prices of all cards in your head. Therefore, select specific players or consumables (such as team fitness cards) and observe them. To take advantage of deals that arise, you must also be quick. Therefore, focus on specific cards.
Expand your transfer list, so you can always offer multiple cards. Upgrades are available in the “EAS FC” catalog.
Experienced users have developed numerous methods in FUT over the years on how to efficiently accumulate coins. Here are two of them.
The 59 Minute Method
The transfer market offers hundreds of thousands of players and objects around the clock. How do you find a bargain? Especially since the introduction of price ranges, it has become more challenging to find really good deals.
However, it still occasionally happens that a careless player offers a player very cheaply. If the buy-it-now price is low, it pays to act quickly. The problem is, you will not be the only one watching for such offers.
To get ahead of your opponents for these bargains, you can use the 59 Minute Method. Here you proceed so that you do not look at players whose offer timer is almost expired, but those whose time is still about 59 minutes. Most players set an hour for the offered time, which is why you have the best chances of snagging cheap offers within this timeframe. You just need to refresh the page frequently and exercise patience.
The Maintenance Method
The “FIFA 18 FUT” servers need maintenance from time to time to fix any bugs. These maintenance work is usually announced in advance or can also occur unexpectedly. They often last several hours.
You can use this maintenance work to your advantage: Because during these works, the transfer market is not stopped. EA itself recommends setting a satisfactory minimum price for your cards before announced maintenance to avoid unpleasant surprises. But there are many PC and console players who do not heed this advice.
You must therefore place cheap offers shortly before maintenance and just wait for the work to be completed. The cheaply acquired cards should then belong to you. It is necessary that you inform yourself when EA is making repairs and respond accordingly and flexibly to these times.
Additional Notes and Tips
Since there is so much to consider when trading, we will also list a few tips in brief:
You need a certain starting capital to be able to buy the cards you want to trade with. The rule is: The more you invest, the higher the chances of success – but also the risk of loss.
Trading beginners should therefore start with cards that represent a lower risk (valued around 300 with a profit of 50%).
Ensure that your transfer list is always full. Otherwise, you will have fewer chances of making a profit efficiently.
Use time-limited tournaments and SBCs. As soon as a tournament with specific conditions is announced, buy players with the corresponding tournament requirements as quickly as possible. These players rapidly increase in value and can be sold at a high price. You must be quick here.
Pay attention to the time of day when you buy and sell cards. Prices usually rise in the evening, while they are cheap in the morning. Prices change throughout the day.
A good time to buy players on the market is during Champions League matches!

The sandbox MMORPG Albion Online receives its first major content expansion since launch with the “Joseph” update. In a new trailer, you can see how the new PvP arena and the expedition “Three Sisters” look.
Anyone who has known the sandbox MMO Albion Online since the beta knows that names like “Galahad”, “Hector” or “Faye” hide the various updates to the game.
Thus, “Joseph” is not a new NPC carpenter, but the first update since the launch of the sandbox MMO in July 2017.
The Joseph update brings PvP arena and expeditions
In the trailer for the “Joseph” update, you first see the big patch highlight: the new PvP arena. Here, both teams start in their own camps and must capture three rune stones and hold them until a timer runs out. The opponents have the same goal, so the stones will be fiercely contested.
To participate in arena battles, you need to talk to the arena mistress Joan or click on the arena icon. As an ultimate reward, you can earn a special saber-toothed cat mount through the PvP arena.
Additional content of the Joseph update that you can see in the trailer includes:
The expedition “Three Sisters”, in which you must restore the honor of a royal guard and face the three sisters – nasty followers of Morgana.
The expedition “The Eternal Fight”, where you battle hordes of undead in a cursed city.
The new treasure sites, which replace the previous relics, regularly emerge, and are guarded by ghosts.
5 new spells in action as well as improved animations for existing skills.
The “Joseph” update will be released on September 27. We have embedded the trailer for you here. Enjoy watching!

Enough with the fun in Overwatch. Anyone who misbehaves now will be permanently banned.
For many months now, Blizzard has promised that they are working hard on harsher penalties for trolls and “Throwers” in Overwatch. With the latest patch 1.15 (PC) or 2.19 (PS4, Xbox One), the developers have finally put their promise into action and started to overhaul the reporting system – or to implement it on consoles for the first time.
In the official forum, Blizzard has now “threatened” and clearly explained how the bans will take place.
Starting from September 27 (next Wednesday), stricter rules will apply in Overwatch, which will initially only affect the ranked game mode.
Anyone banned from 3 ranked seasons will receive a permanent ban from “Competitive Play”.
The 3 bans do not have to occur in consecutive seasons. For example, if someone was banned in seasons 2, 4, and 7, they will also receive a perma-ban.
It is also pointed out that bans do not “expire” over time – anyone who misbehaved early in their Overwatch career can still be affected by it later.
Furthermore, Blizzard explains once again what can lead to a ban in Overwatch – in the ranked mode.
Anyone who leaves a game early or is kicked for inactivity will receive a penalty. If such an offense occurs repeatedly in quick succession (for example, in several consecutive games), there will be temporary penalties that keep increasing and ultimately lead to exclusion from the entire season. This also includes the seasonal rewards that one may have already earned.
Do you think it’s good that Blizzard is now showing “tough love”? Or is that still not enough and shouldn’t it take 3 seasons for a player to be permanently banned?
On Thursday, we will have Paladins streaming live. The hero shooter has a new champion, and our author Leya will introduce you to him live. The new champ is called Talus and is a flanker with a rather unique skill set.
On Mein-MMO.de, we will host a live stream today, on September 21, and I, Leya, want to introduce you to Talus, the new champion from the hero shooter Paladins.
Talus is a demon boy and belongs to the Ska’drin race. They have been nearly exterminated in the world of Paladins and are now despised by the other races. Talus’ skill mix is quite unique, and I wouldn’t know that I have seen his abilities in this form anywhere else. His abilities are an exciting mix of revelation, teleportation, and a knockback strike.
In the stream, I will showcase Talus and his abilities in training mode and play him in a few casual rounds. Talus has just joined Paladins with the OB59 patch. This might mean that sometimes Talus will be taken right out from under my nose by other players.
Date and time of the stream:
When? The stream runs on Thursday, September 21.
What time? The stream runs from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM in the evening.
TERA M is the mobile version of the PC MMORPG TERA. Thanks to Unreal Engine 4 and similar gameplay, TERA M looks almost like the original and feels quite similar.
TERA M aims to deliver the gameplay and graphics of the PC MMORPG TERA on smartphones or tablets. In the first gameplay videos from the publisher Netmarble, you can now see how similar TERA and TERA M are.
You can see how the gameplay of TERA M looks in the wild here:

Will TERA M be the first authentic PC MMO on smartphones?
The gameplay videos of TERA M are quite similar to the original TERA on PC. The typical graphic style with colorful locations and sexy characters is clearly recognizable as TERA. In addition, there is a 360-degree camera and the typical TERA action gameplay with un-targeted attacks hitting what is in front of your blade. Sure, the mobile version is not identical to the original, but the similarity is strong,
This video shows what cities look like in TERA M:

The biggest difference from PC-TERA can be found in the classes. TERA M strictly adheres to the “Holy Trinity” of Tank, DPS, and Healer. However, to avoid long waits for Tanks or Healers, you can switch classes at any time in TERA M, thus completing the raid team. You won’t need twinks in TERA M. Additionally, in contrast to the original, TERA M currently has only 6 classes.
In the following video, you can see the emotes of TERA M in action.

The fate of Azeroth is literally hanging by a thread. How it will continue in WoW has now been discovered by dataminers.
At World of Warcraft, a new patch is currently being tested on the PTR. It mainly contains new game data for the raid Antorus, the Burning Throne. According to the developers, the patch will not bring any new content, but rather just bug fixes and final game files for the raid instance.
Of course, dataminers do not believe such things – and they are right to do so!
Spoiler Warning: If you do not want to know how things continue for Azeroth after the next raid, you should urgently close the article now. As the dataminers from wowhead and mmo-champion have discovered, there are some new files in the game that do not directly relate to Antorus. There is also a new map called “SilithusPhase01”. This is a drastically revised Silithus. A huge wound gapes in the ground and golden-black blood, which soaks the sand, flows from the crack – Azeroth is slowly bleeding out.
The continent Kalimdor is currently completely locked on the PTR – apparently Blizzard is trying to hide something there.
Illidan’s Sacrifice and Azeroth’s Wound
As we already know, Illidan will “contain” the Titan Sargeras. But before that can happen, the dark titan launches one last attack on Azeroth and (presumably) hurls his sword at the world. This strikes in Silithus and tears a huge hole in the planet. A last, desperate attempt to destroy the world soul of Azeroth.
The scar in Silithus, as the dataminers have extracted it.
Since the map is titled “Phase01”, one can assume that there will be a multipart event leading to the next expansion of World of Warcraft.
This once again seems to confirm that we will get our first look at the next expansion at BlizzCon in November – and it might not be as far away as everyone thinks now.
The PvP mode “Ghost War” can now be tested in an open beta phase. Participation is possible for owners of Ghost Recon Wildlands and for new players.
Fancy some PvP shooting in “Ghost Recon Wildlands” style? You can easily take part in the next few days, as the open test phase for the 4v4 mode “Ghost War” has just gone live.
The beta is available as a “standalone” version. New players and owners of Ghost Recon Wildlands can participate.
Ghost War – Beta Start and End
Today, on September 21st, the open beta of Ghost War started on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. In the next few days, you have plenty of time to try out the beta, as the testing phase is active until September 25th.
In Ghost War, you play with two teams, each consisting of four players, against each other. You play in a best-of-3 mode. This means the team that wins twice first wins the match.
The matches are deathmatches without respawn. If you die, you must hope that a teammate revives you.

The MIDA Multi-Tool is the dominant weapon in PvP of Destiny 2. Now, there are concrete numbers and statistics available.
Every Guardian who has played a few matches in the Crucible of Destiny 2 will have encountered it: The MIDA. This refers to the Exotic “MIDA Multi-Tool,” which was already an excellent weapon in Destiny 1 and is now among our Top 5 best Exotic weapons in Destiny 2.
The reasons for its current dominance are quickly found:
The MIDA is a strong Scout Rifle that feels great in hand. Since sniper ammunition is rare in Destiny 2, Scout Rifles are excelling at longer ranges. With the MIDA, you can take out enemies from a distance before they can even aim at you.
While aiming with the MIDA, the radar remains active. You always have an eye on whether an enemy is approaching.
The MIDA Multi-Tool increases movement speed, allowing you to move swiftly across the maps.
If you also equip the MIDA Mini-Tool, a legendary submachine gun, there is an additional synergy effect: The speed bonus is further enhanced. Furthermore, the submachine gun is powerful at short ranges, so with the MIDA combo, you’ll cover all distances in PvP.
The constantly active radar and high movement speed provide significant advantages, especially in intense PvP matches like in the Trials of the Nine. Since players in Trials usually act more cautiously than aggressively, the MIDA is perfect for keeping an eye on the crucial locations on the map from a safe distance.
All of this leads to many Guardians relying on the MIDA in PvP. How significant this dominance actually is is shown by current statistics.
36% of all kills in Trials are attributed to the MIDA
Through the Destiny tracker and the Trials report, interesting figures about MIDA dominance come to light. The exotic Scout Rifle leaves its mark especially in the Trials of the Nine:
In 98% of all previous Trials matches, at least one player used the MIDA Multi-Tool.
35.9% of all kills in Trials were achieved with the MIDA Multi-Tool.
15.3% of all kills in overall PvP were achieved with the MIDA Multi-Tool.
The logo of the Trials of the Nine
For comparison:
The weapon with the second most kills in Trials is the Auto Rifle Prosecutor with 13.4% (MIDA Multi-Tool has 35.9%).
and the second best weapon in overall PvP is the MIDA Mini-Tool with 5.1% of all kills (MIDA Multi-Tool has 15.3%).
These statistics also show that many Guardians are running around with the combination of Multi-Tool and Mini-Tool.
In the following positions are Auto Rifles like Prosecutor, Uriel’s Gift, and Origin Story.
The legendary Auto Rifle Uriel’s Gift
The US site Kotaku exaggerates this hype around the MIDA: They recently published an article featuring the five best weapons in Destiny 2. The MIDA Multi-Tool occupied all the positions. The current statistics show: They are not wrong …
Are you also using the MIDA or do you say: No, I will specifically choose another weapon!
