And as admirable as I found the whole action (because the player was really good), it bothers me even more that such a situation exists at all. No matter where you look (at least on the Internet), PC gamers see themselves as the great elite, and even among console players, the war breaks out. PlayStation is of course only for casuals, Xbox is only played by Microsoft fanboys, and we don’t even need to talk about a Wii, as that’s only for little kids.
Console players obviously can’t do anything. Everyone knows that, it says so in the PC bible.
It’s just this wonderful cliché of a common enemy. As long as gamers can unite against a foe – like the strange portrayal of first-person shooters in some media – everyone can pull together. As soon as that threatens to be forgotten, everyone loses their minds again and sees themselves, their console, or the PC as the crown of creation. But at least it can be seen with some crude humor, like the guys and girls from Flashgitz, who summarize this in this nice video:

I would be happy if gamers increasingly presented themselves as a community that doesn’t care about which logo is on the game console, which input device is used, or which graphics card is hiding in the PC.
Does this eternal “PC players are better than console players” and “PlayStation is better than Xbox” talk get on your nerves too? Or do you even enjoy this conflict and if so, why?
Let me know in the comments. I’m now starting with my grand graphics card and my “8-euro-Microsoft-throw-me-away-keyboard” Overwatch.

The great Thanksgiving event at Pokémon GO has started today. You can look forward to 4x XP and plenty of Stardust.
The “Pokémon GO” developers express their gratitude to players around the world by organizing an event for the community. In line with the Thanksgiving season, there are some strong bonuses. You will earn more experience and additional Stardust for in-game actions. We will now show you how long the event lasts and how you can earn 4x more experience points.
Thanksgiving brings experience points and Stardust
After the successful Halloween event at Pokémon GO, the Thanksgiving event has now started shortly thereafter. Since today at 1:00 AM, you have been benefiting from the new bonuses in the game. This includes double experience points and double the amount of Stardust for completing in-game actions. If you want to level up your Trainer level, the following days with additional experience points are particularly worthwhile.
Not only double but 4x experience points are possible during the event. For this, you need one or more Lucky Eggs in the game. As confirmed by the Pokémon GO Twitter account, the experience bonus is stackable. So if you combine the double experience from the event with a Lucky Egg, you will actually receive 4x experience instead of 2x experience.

This event at Pokémon GO runs until November 30 at 1:00 AM. This gives you enough time to take advantage of the Thanksgiving event bonuses and secure plenty of experience points and Stardust.
You might encounter a familiar Pokémon that loves to disguise itself during this time. Ditto has now been caught in Pokémon GO. However, this is not an “ordinary” wild Pokémon, but something very special.

Mu Legend has already completed a closed beta, and the open beta is just around the corner. The open testing phase is set to begin in the first quarter of 2017 – at least in Korea!
Mu Legend is an action MMORPG, an online role-playing game with action gameplay similar to Diablo 3. The game started its closed beta at the end of October, but an open testing phase is expected soon. For now, it will only be in Korea, but a global beta might arrive in the second half of next year.
PvE, PvP, and airship battles with the guild
The beta is expected to include a lot of new PvE maps, including the “Infinite Tower”, the “Blood Castle,” and a dungeon labyrinth. PvP fans can look forward to the new 10vs10 mode. In addition to PvP and PvE, there is also the “Knight League.” This is a guild battle system in which we command an airship as a guild to challenge the opponent on their ship.
We have embedded a gameplay video for you to see how Mu Legend plays. The video lasts about 10 minutes and comes from the website Webzen. In it, you can see the class of “Emphasizers,” a mage control class that can also deal significant damage. Enjoy!

Since the 1.5 update, there are six named armor pieces with unique talents in The Division. We show you the locations where you can find them.
In addition to named weapons, which have been in the game since the release of Ubisoft’s shared-world shooter, there are now also named armor pieces. These are high-end armor with unique talents and names that must not be confused with gear set pieces.
All named armor pieces can only be found in survival mode and on world tier 5.
In the survival mode, they can randomly be found in sealed containers. However, the chance of this is low.
At world tier 5, they can randomly appear in containers you receive when you gather enough experience points. Here too, the chance is considered low.
In addition, on world tier 5, there is the possibility to visit certain locations and fight for these items there. If you want to farm the “named gear pieces” specifically, these are the locations:
Mask: Ferro’s Oxygen Mask: Defeat Joe Ferro in the mission “Napalm Production Facility” in the southern part of the map.
knee pads: Shortbow Championship Pads: Defeat Hutch in the mission “Madison Field Hospital”.
Holster: Colonel Bliss’ Holster: Defeat Lt. Col. Charles Bliss in the mission “General Assembly”. This is the final story mission.
Meanwhile, the PTR is live, and interested players can check out all the changes for themselves. Here you can find the patch notes for the adjustments made so far:
Players can now create “1v1 Mystery Duel” and “3v3 Elimination” in the “Custom Game” mode as well.
A “Play As Group” feature has been added, allowing teams to stay together at the end of a match if the majority wishes to do so.
Hero Changes
Symmetra
New Abilities
Photon Barrier
Replaces her previous Photon Shield.
Creates a large barrier in front of Symmetra that blocks enemy fire and moves forward.
Shield Generator (new ultimate)
Symmetra now has 2 ultimates to choose from: Teleporter and Shield Generator.
The Shield Generator places a device that gives all allies within its range additional shield energy, regardless of barriers, walls, or other obstacles.
Photon Projector (Primary Fire)
Range was increased from 5 to 7 meters.
Guardian Turret
The maximum number of charges increased from 3 to 6.
The cooldown per charge reduced from 12 to 10 seconds.
Teleporter
Health was reduced from 200 to 50.
Shields increased from 0 to 350.
Photon Shield
Was replaced by the new Photon Barrier.
Attacks that deal damage to both the barrier and the target of the barrier (Reinhardt’s Charge or Hanzo’s Dragon Strike) no longer deal double damage to the barrier.
Zarya
Attacks that deal damage to both the barrier and the target of the barrier (Reinhardt’s Charge or Hanzo’s Dragon Strike) no longer deal double damage to the barrier.

In Pokémon Go, the first Dittos are being caught since last night.
For months, the Pokémon Ditto could not be caught. It simply was not in the game, but that has changed since today. Apparently, with the “Thanksgiving Event”, some changes have been introduced to Pokémon GO that were not officially announced beforehand. Since shortly after midnight in our time, more and more trainers are reporting: I caught Ditto!
How to catch Ditto in Pokémon GO? By catching other Pokémon!
Initial reports suggest that Ditto is actually something special. Trainers battle against another Pokémon and finally catch it. Then it turns out to be Ditto – it had just disguised itself. Currently, trainers assume that any Pokémon can turn out to be a disguised Ditto. This encourages players who are hunting for Ditto to catch every Pokémon – even seemingly “useless” ones.
Seemingly any Pokemon can now transform into Ditto. In battle, it is adopting the species/moves of the foe – and boosting to similar CP!
Further reports indicate that Ditto can transform into the defender in gym battles.
Ditto’s introduction is completely surprising: Hidden changes in patch 0.47.1 had already hinted that Ditto would be coming into the game. Perhaps the “Shinies” aren’t far off either? “Shinies” are cosmetically different variants of Pokémon, which data miners also discovered in the code of the patch where Ditto was hidden.

There are problems with the PlayStation Network this evening, on November 22, on PS4 and PS3.
Shortly before 10 PM, numerous users reported: “The PSN is down. The servers are offline!” Online gameplay is currently not possible. We at Mein-MMO have just checked this, and yes, we could not log in either. It says that the PSN is undergoing maintenance. However, no maintenance work has been announced.
The PSN status also indicates that all services are down. The developers are working to fix the problems as quickly as possible.
Several game developers, such as Bungie or EA Sports, have already tweeted that there are connection issues on PS4 and PS3. They are investigating the matter.
The rework of the Overwatch heroine Symmetra is here. A lot of changes and new abilities are on the way.
Symmetra has always been an oddity in Overwatch. Some players have played her to defend a control point, but afterwards her usefulness was rather low. Blizzard announced a comprehensive rework of the hero a while ago, which is coming to the PTR soon.
The most important innovation is that Symmetra will receive 2 Ultimates. Both Ultimates can be placed in the game world and can be switched between by pressing the “Q” key (PC).
Teleporter (Ultimate 1): The teleporter works as usual. However, it has significantly more hit points, and part of these hit points consists of shield energy – it recharges.
Shield Generator (Ultimate 2): Symmetra places a shield generator that equips all allies in a large area with additional shields. The generator ignores the line of sight. A good “hiding” of the generator is necessary so that it is not quickly taken out by enemies.
Instead of her small shield boost, Symmetra now gets a Photon Projector. This functions similarly to the shield of Reinhardt or Winston but is “fired” forward and grows in size as it moves in the targeted direction.
Symmetra’s turrets have also been improved. She now has 6 charges at the start of the game, allowing her to place all 6 turrets immediately. The cooldown of each charge has been reduced to 10 seconds (previously 12). The maximum of 6 turrets in the game world remains unchanged.
Lastly, there are some minimal changes to her primary fire. The laser beam now has a slightly increased range.

The developers hope that with these changes, Symmetra will be playable in more situations and that more players will give this character a chance. However, whether all these changes will go live remains to be seen.
Cortyn says: Hallelujah, the changes sound excellent in theory. After the changes with Sombra didn’t go over so well, it will be time to put many hours into my favorite employee from Vishkar again. I can hardly wait for these changes to go live.

Two German rappers take on the speaking roles of gangster bosses in Ghost Recon Wildlands. We show you whose voices you can hear in the game.
In Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands, you can overrun bases with friends and take down many “Bad Guys” to fight against their illegal businesses. On the opposing side are people involved in drug smuggling and other crimes, instilling fear in entire regions. The voices of members of the Mexican drug cartel might sound familiar to you.
Farid Bang and KC Rebell in Ghost Recon Wildlands
The rappers Farid Bang and KC Rebell are part of Ghost Recon Wildlands. They lend their voices to two members of the Santa Blanca cartel. This cartel has control over all of Bolivia through its drug trade and must be toppled by you. Both Ubisoft and Banger Musik are looking forward to the collaboration.
Regarding the collaboration with Ubisoft, Ralph M. Jacobs, the manager of Banger Musik, says:
“We are very pleased to collaborate with Ubisoft. Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands offers a fantastic setting. Farid and KC didn’t think long and stepped into the recording booths. We are excited to be a part of this great experience and thank Ubisoft for this collaboration.”
Also, the marketing director of Ubisoft GSA, Benedikt Schüler, is looking forward to the collaboration. He says that Farid Bang and KC Rebell are the “perfect cast” for these roles. Furthermore, both rappers are an asset to Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon.
The collaboration is also generating a lot of discussion on social networks. On Farid Bang’s Facebook page, you can read divided opinions in the comments. One user says that the game’s sales rate would rise solely because of this casting. Meanwhile, others write that this voice casting is a reason not to buy the game.
What do you think about this topic? Do you find it bad to involve rappers? Or do you not care who voices the roles as long as it is authentic?

The Jade Golem in the Gadgetzan expansion of Hearthstone quickly becomes the overpowering monster. Each summoning makes him even stronger.
With the latest expansion “The Streets of Gadgetzan,” Blizzard aims to shake up the existing meta of Hearthstone. In the latest card reveal, the characters around the Jade Lotus were presented. These cards are only available to Rogues, Druids, and Shamans – of course, only after acquiring them from card packs.
Many cards of the Jade Lotus have a very similar effect, namely the summoning of a Jade Golem. Those who roll their eyes and wonder what to do with a 1/1 minion will quickly be enlightened.
For every time a Jade Golem is summoned, it is +1/+1 stronger than its predecessor. The Jade Golem scales with the number of its summons. What starts as a nice “side effect” that calls a small minion gradually turns into a truly powerful behemoth that – with the right deck – can even rise to 30/30, putting the opposing hero within one-hit range.
Some cards that can summon the Jade Golem have also already been introduced.
Shamans get the Jade Lightning, which deals 4 damage for 4 mana and additionally creates a Jade Golem.
Druids stay true to their “Mana Jump” mechanic and gain the Jade Blossom, which provides a free mana crystal for 3 mana and also creates a Golem.
As a legendary minion, there is Aya Blackpaw, the leader of the Jade Lotus. With mana costs of 6 and stats of 5/3, she seems weak; however, she has the summoning of a Jade Golem as both a Battlecry and a Deathrattle.
Cortyn says: In various forums, fans are already joking that the current meta will shift from “Midrange Shaman” to “Early-Mid-Late Jade Golem Shaman,” given how powerful the combinations are. Fundamentally, it can already be said that all classes are getting meaningful and exciting additions that allow for new deck building – which Hearthstone urgently needed.
Overwatch is one of the hottest games this year, and now it’s getting really intense! Here’s the comparison between Overwatch on the PS4 Pro in 4K and on the regular PS4 in 1080p.
The latest Overwatch update has not only brought us Sombra and the new Arcade game modes, but also support for the PS4 Pro. In the video below by YouTuber Arekkz, you can get an impression of how the difference between the PS4 Pro and the regular PS4 looks.
In the video, the introduction program with Soldier 76 is run. You can see the difference between the PS4 Pro and PS4 on a split screen. There is also a comparison to Genji in 4K and in 1080p in his special Oni skin. Furthermore, a comparison between some maps is shown.
Little tip on the side: You can earn the Oni Genji skin in the Nexus Challenge in Heroes of the Storm.

Currently, there is a shotgun meta in Destiny. We provide tips on how to effectively play with this weapon – and how to play against it.
The shotgun is currently the king in the Crucible. Every Guardian who has been in PvP in recent weeks can confirm this. Especially in the Control mode, the shotgun is preferred over other special weapons, as Guardians constantly leap into close combat with knives drawn and the “shoddy” in hand.
In this situation, you have only two options: Either you get yourself a strong shotgun and become a “pumper” yourself, or you engage in combat against the shotgun users.
How to effectively use the shotgun – “If you can’t beat them, join them!”
If you want to embrace the meta, you can keep the following tips in mind when using the shotgun in the Crucible:
Use grenades to weaken opponents in advance or to lure them out of cover. A startled enemy is easier to take down.
Don’t rush into combat blindly: Don’t run out in the open towards your enemies, as they can easily gun you down from a distance. Instead:
Move from cover to cover. Remember that you can be in the sights of a Guardian every time you’re not in cover.
Don’t hesitate: If you hesitate, you die. If you want to take down a nearby enemy, don’t stop halfway. Either finish the attack, or stay in cover.
Don’t confuse “hesitation” with “patience”: Patience is your friend. Don’t be too aggressive with the shotgun in hand; think first: “Will I come out of the attack alive?”
Communicate with your teammates: Discuss when to push. Where are the enemies, where are your own people?
A good map knowledge: Where are the enemies? Are they in a position where they have the advantage?
Use abilities like Shadowstep and armor pieces like Dämmerbruch-Garnison to make unpredictable movements.
How to fight against shotgun users – “Better dead than shotgun!”
If there are many shotgun users on the enemy team, consider these tips:
Choose the right weapon: Use automatic rifles or pulse rifles with high rates of fire, such as “The Clever Dragon“, to keep shotgun users at bay. At close range, you can still hold them off with fusion rifles or hand cannons.
Avoid the spots where the “pump users” like to lurk. Good map knowledge is important here.
If you spot a shotgun enemy’s position, communicate this to your team. Don’t run into the trap alone, but wait for backup.
If you’re using a sniper, you can provide cover for your teammates while they push. This way, you can stop shotgun users from a distance.
However, the best tip is: Use a shotgun yourself and become familiar with the weapon class. This way, you can find out how you are defeated by enemies, what the weaknesses are, and apply this to your own playstyle.
What tips do you have to deal with the current shotgun meta?
Tomorrow, on November 23rd, the new Pokémon editions Sun and Moon will be released in Germany. Leya will turn 11 again and is very excited.
Tomorrow is finally the day, a new adventure in Pokémon begins! This time, our journey takes us to Alola, a tropical island region reminiscent of Hawaii. With these editions, Pokémon turns 20 years old and once again celebrates its principles: „Collecting, Trading, Battling – Together!”
The Alola Region
I still remember exactly how I held the Gameboy in my hands 20 years ago and a whole new world opened up for me. I played the edition “Pokémon Red” and began my journey with my first starter Charmander. It was the first game I truly fell in love with. Pokémon was my first step into the gaming world and as strange as it may sound to some – it often served as my lifeline in tough times.
That’s why this Pokémon trailer for the anniversary moved me:

Before I get too nostalgic, I want to introduce you to three things I am particularly looking forward to in the anniversary edition Pokémon Sun and Moon.
The Starters of Pokémon Sun and Moon and their Final Evolutions
Every trainer starts off with the dilemma of choosing between three starter Pokémon. This is no different in Alola, and it’s always an exciting decision. You can choose between the Grass-Flying Pokémon Rowlet, the Fire Pokémon Litten, and the Water Pokémon Popplio.
You can see the final evolutions of the starter Pokémon in the video! I will probably choose Popplio, its big red nose is just too cute. Additionally, the mysterious guardian deities of Alola are introduced, and at the end of the video, we see the adult versions of Red and Blue.

It will be particularly epic with the spectacular Z-Moves! When I watched the video, the child in me got really excited. To execute Z-Moves, you need a Z-Ring, into which a Z-Crystal is placed. There are a total of 18 different Z-Crystals, one for each Pokémon type. Each trainer can use only one Z-Move per battle, as Z-Moves are extremely powerful.

Alola Forms in Pokémon Sun and Moon – Dugtrio gets Flowing Hair!
Fans of the first generation can rejoice. Some of your old Pokémon friends from Kanto are returning in Pokémon Sun and Moon – but they look very different and have new forms. The Alola Forms have come from Kanto to the Alola region and have adapted to the climate there, taking on new forms.
Dugtrio now has a flowing mane that is also revered in the Alola region. Here, Dugtrio is considered the god of the land. With its shiny locks, it’s no wonder.
Leya says: I’m incredibly excited about the new editions and will celebrate the 20th anniversary of Pokémon with Pokémon Sun and Moon. Nintendo has done a fantastic job so far, captivating so many generations and making incredible progress. Tomorrow, I will be 11 years old again inside and dive into the next adventure! Who is joining me when it’s time again …
For me, Pokémon is not just a fond childhood memory, which could also explain the Summer Fairytaleof Pokémon GO. Do you also have games that make you feel nostalgic?
Dedication of the author: This article is dedicated to my brother A. who gave me my first Pokémon edition and introduced me to the world of computer games.

The first beta of Revelation Online is over and publisher My.com has released an infographic with plenty of numbers and values regarding the first testing phase. Notably, there is a significant surplus of female characters.
The first closed beta of My.com’s new AAA MMORPG Revelation Online ended on November 17, and now there is an infographic from the publisher that contains all sorts of curious information. For example, about the casualties that a certain type of enemy had to suffer or the total number of fallen heroes.
Women wielding cannons in the majority – the most popular and unpopular classes in Revelation Online
Also noteworthy: The majority of created player heroes were female. A total of 53.7 percent of all players chose a woman as their character, while only 47.3 percent jumped into the colorful Asian world of Revelation Online as a man. On average, the typical Revelation Online player took a remarkable 24 minutes to create their character.
In terms of class selection, two hero types clearly dominated: the pistol and rifle-wielding Gunslinger and the spell-casting Swordmage, each of whom excited 19 percent of all players. The scythe-wielding Occultist was also a favorite with 18 percent. However, players found the massive Vanguard, a tank class, to be the least exciting, with only 13 percent of the target audience wanting to play it. Thus, players of Revelation Online clearly prefer lightly armored female mages and pistol-wielding girls.
Millions of deaths in PvE
In the game modes, PvE, which involves the fight of humans against AI monsters, clearly had the advantage. Because 79 percent of players diligently slaughtered various creatures instead of fighting with their fellow players. PvP was only actively practiced by 21 percent of the player base during the beta. Overall, however, 1,821,316 player characters perished in both game modes.
This impressive mountain of corpses is easily surpassed when counting the casualties among the monsters. The harmless “Sedgelings,” the first monsters you encounter that are essentially just animated grass tufts, alone accounted for 2.9 million deaths! And in the over 60 million dungeons explored, many beasts surely also met their demise. These are impressive numbers that may be surpassed in the second beta, which is rumored to start sometime in 2016.
A PvP faction in WoW: Legion just for pet battle players. We reveal how you unlock the “Revenge of the Claw” and what benefits it has.
The Patch 7.1 of World of Warcraft: Legion has implemented some game content that is not immediately apparent to everyone. Did you know that there is a completely new PvP faction where you can earn reputation to eventually score a special mount?
Once you have completed one of the quest lines and own a mount, head to the flight point “Sylvan Falls” in the Highmountain area. From the gryphon master, you will swim northwest across the lake, where you will see many druids and the demigoddess Aviana. Now, mount up and speak with Aviana.
As expected, the patroness of all flying beings is not exactly thrilled that you slaughtered the falcosaurs en masse. Nevertheless, she sees goodness in you and allows you to make amends and restore balance: you must kill other players to compensate for what you have done to the falcosaurs.
As a new item, you will receive the Ivory Claw and 500 reputation with the faction “Revenge of the Claw”. This can only be activated in PvP world quests and in the areas of the falcosaurs and transforms you into an Aviana avenger. When you deal killing blows to players in this form, you collect “Mark of the Prey”. Each time you use a Mark of the Prey, it increases your reputation with the faction “Revenge of the Claw” by 100 points.
However, farming the Marks is relatively difficult. The transformation has a 15-minute cooldown. If you die or leave the PvP area, the buff is also removed.
Next to Aviana sits a little raven, who is considered the faction’s quartermaster. The first major goal should be a benevolent reputation, as then you can purchase an “Ivory Feather”. This serves the same purpose as the Claw but has only a 10-minute cooldown and can also be used in battlegrounds and Ashran! This should significantly speed up farming Marks.
As a reward, there is a white Hawkstrider, which closely resembles the mount of Kael’thas from the Terrace of the Magisters. Alternatively, there is also a trinket that temporarily increases your critical strike chance by 50% – but also increases the chance of being critically hit yourself.
Strictly speaking, “Revenge of the Claw” is the first faction solely for pet battlers. What do you think of this concept?

“CP-Changes” in Pokémon GO have changed the Max CP. We will show you the new maximum combat points of all Pokémon in the game.
Numerous trainers report: “My Pokémon are suddenly stronger! The CP has increased!” What is going on?
On November 21, a surprising change was announced for Pokémon GO, in which the combat points of the Pokémon were adjusted. The developers changed the values for almost every Pokémon. Once weak Pokémon can now become significantly stronger. This is intended to bring more variety to arena battles. In our table, we show you the maximum combat points for each individual Pokémon.
Changed Max CP / Max CP of each Pokémon
The combat points (CP) of your Pokémon indicate how strong they are. Recently, there have been changes to these values, causing Pokémon to be buffed and nerfed. In our table, you will find out how many CP each of your Pokémon can now achieve at level 40. If you are still below level 40, you can use this table to determine the potential strength of your Pokémon.
Oops, unfortunately this table is no longer available.
If you are looking for a specific Pokémon, you can sort this table by Pokédex number or by name. You can also arrange the table by CP. We have listed here the 15 strongest Pokémon, measured by Max CP, for you.
With the changes in CP values, there are now new possibilities in arenas. A larger selection of defenders or attackers provides entirely new tactics for holding or taking over an arena spot. The developers hope that the balance changes will bring more variety. Trainers should also expect that the CP of their favorite Pokémon will be adjusted in the future if the developers are dissatisfied with them.
With a Pokémon GO development calculator, you can find out how high the CP of your Pokémon would be after you evolve them. This way, you can find out if an evolution is worth it before you spend the candies on it. We present one of these development calculators here.

The introduction of the Free2Play mode in the space MMO EVE Online pays off for CCP Games.
On the day the patch goes live, the number of concurrently active players increased to over 50,000. This surpasses the peak number of concurrent players from 2015, when at the height 45,637 players were online at the same time. However, EVE Online still does not return to the all-time high of over 65,000 players in 2013 with this number. Nevertheless, the change in the payment model has paid off for the development studio.
Are all of these really new players?
Nevertheless, this number does not indicate whether they are new or returning players. It is also possible that among the new accounts, there are second accounts from subscribers creating an additional character. Furthermore, it remains to be seen how these numbers will stabilize over time. As the past has shown, MMORPGs that switch from a subscription to a Free2Play model experience a significant influx of players in the first weeks and months. However, this does not last long. The excitement of trying something new fades relatively quickly. Some may not enjoy the game and stop playing.
Only time will tell how successful the transition really is
Only the coming weeks will show how the introduction of Alpha clones will impact the population of EVE Online in the medium and long term. It will also be interesting to see how many of the Alpha clone players switch to Omega status and subscribe. Companies hope that new players will become paying players, either by purchasing in-game currency or by signing up for a subscription.
Are you among the players who are now trying EVE Online through the Free2Play model? If so, what have your gaming experiences been so far? Let us know in the comments.
The WP values in Pokémon GO are an indicator of the strength of individual Pokémon. These are the top 15!
The first clue to check how strong a Pokémon is, is the WP value (or in English: CP value). The higher this value, the stronger the Pokémon. Each monster has its own maximum WP value, which cannot be exceeded even with power-ups. From these values, we have compiled a “Top 15” list that ranks the Pokémon with the highest maximum WP values.
What the WP values in Pokémon GO mean, we have already explained to you: It is a summary of various hidden values. In most cases, a higher WP value in Pokémon GO means that the Pokémon is stronger. Additionally, there are base values for attack, defense, and stamina, which can make a difference among the same Pokémon with the same CP value.
In this updated “Top 15 list”, you can see the Pokémon sorted by their WP values:

Keep in mind that other factors in battle are also important, such as the various attacks that a Pokémon can learn, which can influence the outcome of a battle. For this, we have already listed the strongest attacks of individual Pokémon in Pokémon GO.
By the way: The Pokémon with the lowest maximum WP value is neither Pidgey nor Caterpie – The bottom of this table is Magikarp with a maximum WP value of 220.
The survival game Conan Exiles has received a release date for PC and Xbox One. It will enter Early Access.
On January 31, Conan Exiles will enter Early Access, as announced by the developers at Funcom. This is initially only for PC. The Xbox One version is expected to follow in spring 2017. Sony still has reservations about Early Access for any game, which has been frustrating some developers for a while.
A new trailer is also in tow.

Conan Exiles aims to conquer the survival genre, just as League of Legends did with the MOBA genre
Joel Bylos, the game director, has been known to Funcom fans for a while. Most recently, he was responsible for The Secret World, before moving on to a then-still-secret project. Bylos says: “The time is right for Conan to conquer the survival genre.” Conan Exiles is not an empty sandbox, he reveals, but rich in secrets waiting to be uncovered.
Conan Exiles was originally planned for September 2016. However, Funcom postponed it to improve quality. In the meantime, the Norwegian studio had received a capital injection. Conan Exiles fits perfectly into Funcom’s new, promising strategy. They have a good understanding of the material – Funcom has been managing the MMORPG Age of Conan for years. Now they are betting on a breakthrough in a trend genre.
After all, the survival genre is quite popular and filled with several titles. However, there is a lack of a clear favorite, like WoW is for MMORPGs or League of Legends is for MOBAs. This favorite – it should become Conan Exiles, at least if you ask the Norwegians at Funcom.
