In FIFA 17, the players with the highest dribbling stats are known.
For those who keep the ball glued to their feet, it is difficult to take the ball away. A strong dribbling skill is therefore worth its weight in gold both on real grass and on the virtual football pitch. If you want to rely on such dribbling artists in FIFA 17 who can create goal chances out of nowhere and outsmart the opponents, you should look out for the following players.
EA Sports released the top 10 best dribblers in the game. They show the “FUT 17” player cards of the respective players. In the top 10, the dribbling stats range from 88 to 96.
Zenimax Online wants to take advantage of the capabilities of the recently announced Playstation 4 Pro from Sony .
With this update, the game resolution will be increased, allowing players to view the fantasy world of Tamriel in 4K. A first trailer shows how detailed the world will look. We have linked the trailer here; however, the difference from Full HD and the detailed graphics can only be recognized when watching the video on a 4K monitor or a 4K television.

Zenimax explains that adjustments can be made relatively easily, as ESO was originally developed for PC and thus the new resolution can be integrated more easily. The update will be available directly at the launch of the PS4 Pro on November 10. There’s no need to change anything in the game; the higher resolution will be automatically activated when the console detects a 4K television. However, if a “Full HD” device is used, players will also notice some improvements, as the developers explain that they will generally utilize the power of the PS4 Pro for enhanced graphic quality.
Zenimax also states that The Elder Scrolls Online will run in native 4K, which seems somewhat strange, as Sony did not want to provide exact details on how the PS4 Pro achieves 4K. Apparently, the device uses a combination of higher resolution and upscaling. Whether this is different for ESO is currently unknown.
It’s that time again: Three weeks have passed and the next Paragon- hero is at the door. “Lt. Belica” gives out more than just parking tickets.
This will be expensive
In the free-to-play MOBA Paragon for PS4 and PC, the next fresh character is ready to go. Lt. Belica is her name and she makes quite a tough impression. You should watch out for her, as hitting you can come at a high cost.
As a Lieutenant, it makes sense that she belongs to the affiliations of Order and Intelligence. Her specialty is mana control. The ability “Void Bomb,” for instance, not only deals area damage but also restores mana for each enemy hit.

With “Seismic Charge,” she unleashes her fury and strikes the ground, damaging and launching nearby targets into the air. When she calls her “Void Drone,” things get even more dangerous, as it can be used for area control and drains mana from enemy heroes per second.
And to finally deal with the mana-sapping nuisances, her ultimate ability “Neural Disruptor” is a powerful weapon. It deals damage based on the missing mana of her opponent. Lt. Belica will be playable for everyone starting Tuesday, September 13th,. Time to take a firm stance and bring law and order to the battlefield.

In Destiny, numerous innovations have been discovered after the 2.4.0 update, which Bungie has not yet talked about. Moreover, a graphics error, a “grain effect,” is currently causing excitement.
Since last night, the 2.4.0 update has been live. In addition to a variety of officially communicated changes, it also brought new features that the developers have not yet discussed. An especially annoying problem concerns the graphics.
“Grain Effect” in Destiny – what does Bungie say?
This problem seems to occur frequently, as both Reddit, the Bungie forum, and our news inbox are being flooded with reports about it. There is talk of a “grain effect,” “film grain effect,” graphics issues, and poor image quality. The image is said to look “grainy.” In dark areas, it is reported that one can hardly see anything. The users agree: This is terrible. Bungie needs to do something about it.
And Bungie has already responded: Community Manager Cozmo states in the Bungie Forum that he is investigating this issue. As soon as he knows more, he will let us know. We may soon expect a fix for it.
The exotic pistol “Trespasser” has gained early access!
Unannounced Changes with 2.4.0
For hours now, the Reddit forum has been collecting “secret” innovations that Guardians have discovered after the 2.4.0 update. In the meantime, a notable list has emerged, which you can view on Reddit. We list the most important changes:
Iron Banner quests have been removed. Osiris quests are still available.
The Sleeper Simulant has been nerfed so that you can no longer stagger Oryx solo.
Items from exotic engrams can now be over 335 light level. So far, 338 is confirmed. Update: 339.
The Nightfall strike seems to be rotating between Valus Ta’aurc and the S.A.B.E.R. strike at the moment.
Weapon ornaments can now be previewed. If you already have a Hawkmoon, you can preview the ornaments called “Ravenous” and “Lustre of the Moon.” To activate these, you need the ornament and Silver Dust.
“T12” gear is no longer “T12” gear. It seems that the items have lost attribute points. It is assumed that these need to be reduced due to the new maximum light level so that Guardians do not reach T12 too quickly.
The gunsmith Banshee-44 now also sells armor materials. 250 Glimmer for 5 pieces. Additionally, the test weapons for this week have changed.
In the Vanguard strikes, three playlists are now active: The Heroic Taken War, the Taken War (Level 36) and a Vanguard Legacy Strike Playlist (Level 20), in which the strikes can be played as they were before TTK. The strike playlist for RoI is still not active:
In the Navigator, Felwinter Peak and the Plaguelands are already marked on Earth:
Class items are affected by shaders.
Faction sparrows are already in the reward packages, but it seems they are still locked until the launch of RoI. Here is a Sparrow from New Monarchy:
Some blue engrams allow exotics to drop.
In the inventory, the Chromatin is displayed under “Ornaments.”.
All perks that have been unlocked so far are marked as “new.” When you hover over them with the cursor, everything is back to normal.
Public events drop 5 light particles, but there are so far no reports of legendary engrams.
High-level Guardians (Level 40, Light Level 335) also receive green engrams in the game.
In addition, there are some isolated reports, which, however, have not yet been confirmed. It is also likely that more changes will be discovered in the coming days.
The developers of the MMORPG shooter Escape from Tarkov are apparently very proud of the weapon modification system, which is why they are highlighting it with a new video.
In Escape from Tarkov, you play as a mercenary stationed in the fictional, sealed-off Russian city of Tarkov. Here, anarchy reigns for the most part, so you should only venture onto the streets armed. But in an MMORPG, you don’t want to just walk around with a basic weapon that everyone else has as well.

Therefore, you will have the ability to modify weapons in a very diverse way in the game. How exactly this works and what it looks like is shown in the new video. What should the barrel be like or the grip? Do you need a silencer? The customization options are not just cosmetic embellishments to make the weapons look cool. They also affect how the weapons perform. A better sight allows you to aim better, and a modified barrel ensures that you can shoot more precisely. The individual components of the weapons can be found as loot throughout the adventures.
The developers always pay attention to realism. In the game, there will be no weapon mods that do not exist in the real world. You also will not be able to assemble fantasy weapons. Everything has a realistic background and was researched accordingly by the developers.
World of Warcraft is doing well with the current expansion. At least on the first day, millions of copies of Legion were already sold.
Largest Concurrent Player Count Since Cataclysm
Just over a week has passed since the release of World of Warcraft: Legion. Blizzard is taking the time to at least roughly explain in a press release how successful Legion has been. According to their own statements, World of Warcraft: Legion was sold 3.3 million times on the first day. While this does not set a new record for Blizzard, it is on par with some other WoW expansions.
However, other points also indicate a “good course” that WoW is currently taking. On the day of release, there were as many players online simultaneously as there haven’t been since the release of “Cataclysm” in 2010. This means Legion has left its predecessors Warlords of Draenor and Mists of Pandaria behind.
However, Blizzard does not provide specific numbers about the current player count – the developers haven’t done that since Warlords of Draenor.
Mein-MMO says: Even though 3.3 million sales is quite a substantial number that other game developers can only dream of, it must be noted that Legion was already available for pre-order months in advance. For only those who secured the expansion early could get early access to the Demon Hunter. The additional character boost to level 100 likely persuaded some undecided players to make the purchase.
The really important time for WoW: Legion begins now. Will the game still provide enough content in a few weeks and months? Will Blizzard keep its promises this time? An initial proof can probably be expected with Patch 7.1 “Return to Karazhan,” which is set to arrive on the test servers soon.
The MMO shooter Destiny is getting nine fresh trophies and achievements on PS4 and Xbox One with the “The Rise of Iron” expansion.
For many console gamers, they are simply part of it: Trophies and achievements. The game is only fully completed for them when all unlockable successes have been achieved, and it can then be satisfactorily placed on the shelf. Some players, however, see these trophies merely as a nice extra. Others couldn’t care less.
There are also trophies and achievements in Destiny. New successes were last added with the “The Taken King” expansion. With “Rise of Iron,” nine more accomplishments are being integrated.
Trophy list on PS4 – Achievements on Xbox One
Trophies are categorized into the qualities of Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum, determined by their difficulty and/or the time required. “Rise of Iron” as a DLC has no Platinum trophy, but only Bronze and Silver trophies. Presumably, there isn’t even a gold achievement.
Bronze Trophies:
Mountaineer: Complete the mission “King of the Mountain.”
Dominion: Complete the quest “Fame and How to Achieve It.”
Eye for an Eye: Complete the quest “Kovik’s Sin.”
Keep Moving Forward: Complete an encounter in the Archon’s Forge.
Spliced: Complete the raid “Wrath of the Machine.”
Silver Trophies:
The Whelp: Complete the quest “The Rise of Iron.”
Scholar of History: Activate all artifacts of the Iron Lords.
Splicer God: Complete the raid “Wrath of the Machine” on Heroic.
There is also a Hidden Trophy whose quality is currently unknown. According to Bungie, the following is indicated for this trophy:
Sing the Iron Song: Classified.
Presumably, it is your task to ring the bells at Felwinter Peak in the correct order. This is also suggested by the trophy symbol that we will present below. According to Scott Taylor, the executive producer, Felwinter Peak hides a secret that has not yet been mentioned. You will likely receive the trophy when you uncover it.
Here are the trophy symbols listed on the Bungie site. What trophy it is will be stated below. Otherwise, there are no major surprises. You unlock most trophies by completing specific quest missions and mastering the raid. “Scholar of History” will likely take some time as there are eight artifacts of the Iron Lords and you can only obtain one per week.
Will you catch them?

Revelation Online comes as a genuine MMORPG complete with dungeons, raids, and tough bosses. The developers have now released initial details about the instances and bosses.
Dungeons and raids are simply a staple in many online role-playing games and must not be missing in Revelation Online, the new game from publisher My.com. But what can we expect in terms of raids, dungeons, and boss creatures in Revelation Online?
Dungeons for everyone!
First of all, the many dungeon instances are divided into solo and group dungeons. So if you don’t feel like being in a group or don’t have suitable companions at hand, you can also go into the instance alone and fight through hordes of monsters and bosses. For group players, there are dungeons for five players. These come in a total of five difficulty levels and offer increasing loot.
However, those who have already reached the maximum level may challenge themselves in raids with up to nine other players and seek the ultimate challenge there. If you complete the raid, you can play a harder hardcore variant or even take on the ultimate 20-player version. The loot will be even better the higher we set the difficulty level!
But it’s not just in raid instances that bosses reside. Six particularly tough world bosses roam the land, and it is said that entire guilds fight over the right to battle such a creature. Revelation Online originally comes from China from the developer NetEase and is currently in closed beta. You can register on the official beta page using the link provided.
These multiplayer maps are expected to be available in the future for Battlefield 1.
Yesterday, on September 8th, the open beta of Battlefield 1 ended. During this test phase, players only had access to one map where they could test the 2 available game modes: The Sinai Desert. Although the Twitter account of Battlefield hoped for another map during the beta, unfortunately, that did not happen. However, interesting hints for possible maps were found through datamining.
9 possible multiplayer maps for Battlefield 1
In the code of the alpha version, dataminers found hints about additional multiplayer maps for Battlefield 1. The code included the names of the maps. Reddit user 1033149 compiled this data and connected it with already known screenshots. This has resulted in a diverse selection of maps, as seen in the screenshots.
In the comments on Reddit, it is speculated that the map marked with “?” refers to the map “Fao Fortress”. There are supposed to be a total of 9 maps that are at least present in the code. However, it is already known that 16 additional maps will be added with DLCs.
From the screenshots, it is noticeable that there are also maps with narrow passages or many objects/trees. This makes these maps more challenging for snipers and tank players, who caused frustration among other players during the beta phase.
Please note that these maps are not officially confirmed and are currently just the result of datamining.

In today’s “Mein-MMO asks”, we want to know from you: Did the PS4 Pro make your mouth water, or does the box leave you cold?
For a few days now, there has been a dominant topic in the gaming media: The PS4 Pro, which has been circulating online for months as “PS4 Neo”. When will the new PS4 be released? What can it even do? Really, it doesn’t have a 4K Blu-ray drive?
Microsoft did not miss the chance to emphasize that their new consoles possess such a drive. Followed by statements from Sony that this will not be a disadvantage for the PS4 Pro.
The “console war” has seemingly flared up again and is burning fiercely. The media eagerly jumps on the bandwagon and pours more oil on the fire.
So now we want to pause for a moment and ask you a question before you race into the well-deserved weekend: What is your opinion on the PS4 Pro, which was officially introduced on Wednesday? Are you getting it right away? Would you rather wait for the more powerful Xbox in 2017? Or are you not interested at all, as you only play on PC?
More Power! Is this argument enough?
The PS4 Pro will have significant performance advantages over the original PS4 thanks to its powerful processor and other enhancements. The Pro version comes with more power to elevate the console gaming experience to a new level. You can read all the technical details about the PS4 Pro here.
Ttime says: If you Google “More Power”, pictures of Tim Taylor, the home improvement king, who wants to equip all sorts of machines with more power in the series, come up directly. He is obsessed with “More Power”. Similarly, I feel about it. When it is said that something will be more powerful and “better”, I immediately become attentive, and childlike curiosity and anticipation rises within me.
I had exactly these emotions when I watched the live stream of the PS4 Pro. First thought: This thing is coming straight into my house!
But does it even need it? I don’t even have a 4K TV. Well, it was said that the Pro can squeeze the best out of any screen. But for me, these graphical peaks are currently not a compelling argument.
Moreover: I still have a functional PS4 lying around. All future PS4 games will also run on this gaming box. And it is likely that my console will continue to function perfectly for a long time – despite being heavily used by me. So, how should users who already own a PS4 behave?
Honestly: I don’t know. I probably won’t get it at launch. Even though I already feel the itch in my fingers. But I have not yet made a decision. At nearly 400 euros, it is cheaper than expected, but still takes a decent chunk out of the piggy bank.
Apart from all the technical details regarding the enhancement of PS4 games, it is particularly exciting for me because it is supposed to improve the VR experience, among other things through higher framerates. I’ve been looking forward to PSVR for quite some time. And when I get the headset, the PS4 Pro will probably soon adorn my living room…

But enough about me. What do you think of Sony’s new console? Are you getting it right at launch on 10.11.? Are you completely steering clear of it? Tell us your opinion in the comments.
In Destiny, the Guardians are expecting the arrival of the Exotic vendor Xur today. What does he have in store from September 9th to 11th?
When you launch Destiny from now on, you will experience some new features, starting with a new login screen and a fresh “Iron Lord” music greeting you upon login and in the Orbit. Because Update 2.4.0 is live, the update that prepares for “The Dawning of the Iron Lords”.
To ensure you don’t miss any crucial information, you can read the events of the last few hours below:
Furthermore, you need to know for today that the Trials of Osiris have been canceled. They will only resume from September 30th.
Now let’s take a look at the Exotic vendor Xur. If everything goes smoothly after Update 2.4.0, he should appear today at 11 AM, as usual.
Everything about Xur in Destiny on September 9th, 10th, and 11th on PS4 and Xbox One
When does Xur arrive? When does Xur leave?
Xur appears today, September 9th, at 11 AM. He spends a few nice hours with the Guardians and shows them his inventory. On September 11th at 11 AM, he will pack his belongings and head home.
Where is Xur? What is his location this weekend?
Every weekend, Xur chooses a specific location where he spends his days relaxing. This time, he can be found near the Speaker by the large door. ProNDC will guide you there:

On this night, the mystery of the mount “long forgotten Hippogryph” in World of Warcraft was solved. Cortyn was there to witness it.
How to get the “Reins of the Long Forgotten Hippogryph”
It was a wild night for me – well, in World of Warcraft. But (with a bit of pride) I can say that tonight the mystery of the “Reins of the Long Forgotten Hippogryph” was solved. This mount has been in the game data of World of Warcraft since 2007 and was only made available with Legion. However, no one knew how to obtain the mount – until now. And well, what can I say? Cortyn (that’s me!) initiated the breakthrough. While I was farming ores with my mage in Azsuna, I stumbled upon an “Ephemeral Crystal”, a pink crystal in the landscape.
Little Cortyn finds an inconspicuous “Ephemeral Crystal”… and thus initiates the solution to the riddle.
Clicking on it didn’t seem to do much, so I consulted Google to figure out what it might be. In short: No one knew. Some suspected that the crystal was related to the mount, but until now, the crystals had only been found in the game data and had not actually been discovered.
I logged onto the Discord server that was dealing with the Hippogryph and shared my find: The chat exploded. After posting a proof screenshot, all hell broke loose. I was told to search for more crystals, and I indeed found a second one shortly after. Other players from different servers joined my group to decipher the riddle together. The third crystal was also found by me (at that point, I received several marriage proposals on Discord and was supposed to predict the lottery numbers of all participants).
Crystal number 4 was discovered by a group member and crystal number 5 by another person – the person who clicks all 5 crystals first receives the reins of the long forgotten Hippogryph, along with the zone-wide emote: “You hear a faint caw in the distance and then silence…”
At least the person was nice enough to apologize, saying that the mount would actually have belonged to me, since I enabled the search and found 3 out of 5 crystals – but hey, I’m not resentful (I am, but don’t tell anyone) and just glad to have been there when this riddle was solved. Thus, the player “Rawberry” from the server “Mal’Ganis” is the first player in the world to call this mount their own! Congratulations!
And now once more calmly in a compact guide form:
The Guide for the “Reins of the Long Forgotten Hippogryph”
To obtain the “Reins of the Long Forgotten Hippogryph”, it is necessary to click 5 crystals scattered throughout Azsuna on the map, which appear very rarely. Since the “World First” happened last night, there may be additional spawn points for the “Ephemeral Crystal”. So far, these 5 points are known:
1. Directly on the coast, north of the academy. The crystal juts out of the water on the beach. (54, 33) 2. At the spring of Nor’danil, hidden behind a wall. (37, 32) 3. In the cave at the Azurewing Rest. Caution! The crystal is very similar in color to the surroundings. (50, 20) 4. In a small cave. (34, 35) 5. At Ozeanus’ Bay, on a small stone ledge. (47, 61)
In the following images, you can see the individual spawn locations (click to enlarge). In the last image, no crystal can be seen… because that was already after Rawberry received the mount.
Touching the crystals grants the player an invisible buff that stacks up to 5 times. Once the 5th stack is reached, you automatically receive the reins. Important: Should you die while searching for the crystals, the buff ends and you must click the old crystals again! Once a player clicks the 5th crystal in a row, they receive the mount and all crystals disappear – only one player can therefore claim the Hippogryph at a time. Once this happens, you will be warned by the zone-wide emote.
Note: Now that I’ve had some sleep, I have been pointed out by some people on a few points. I want to clarify that all the discoveries were definitely a team effort. Players like “Solveig” and “Blackfaded” contributed greatly by researching the “hidden buffs” and exploring the connections to them. Then there are all the people on Discord who spent their nights searching for the Hippogryph. I just happened to be lucky enough to randomly find one crystal and then two more. The actual credit belongs to many, many players.

As of today, it is possible to pre-order the new Sony console PS4 Pro through the mail order retailer Amazon.
The PS4 Pro from Sony is set to become the next big thing in 2016. The XXL-PS4 is expected to be released on November 10 of this year. We have already extensively reported in an article about what hardware fans can expect and what the console will be capable of.
In the USA, the PS4 Pro was already available for pre-order through Amazon. Now the German branch of Amazon has also followed suit and included the PS4 Pro for pre-order in its inventory.

In the latest chapter of SWTOR , the popular droid HK is in the spotlight. However, this is only for players who have been particularly loyal subscribers.
Get ready for termination, meatbag!
The storyline of the current expansion of Star Wars: The Old Republic, known as “Knights of the Fallen Empire”, has already concluded a few weeks ago. However, hardcore fans were waiting for a special date. Those who were loyal subscribers for almost a year were promised an additional chapter of the game, where players take control of HK-55. This chapter “Shroud of Memory” was released just a few days ago (September 7, 2016)!
The latest (and very last) chapter of the KotFE era features plenty of cool lines – just what players love about HK-55. The word “meatbag” is sure to be mentioned more than once – as they need to be eliminated in grand style. However, HK-55 is not alone but gets a companion by his side, the (more or less) charming Z0-0M, who supports him with advice, action, and equally many lines.
A first look at the chapter reveals the following teaser:

In Destiny, a weapon from “Rise of Iron” has already been spotted in the game.
The update 2.4.0 is now live. It greets you with a new login screen in the “Iron Lord” style, a new music track that reminds some of “The Lord of the Rings”, and some new features. With this update, you have already downloaded “The Rise of Iron” in advance. You can read the patch notes and the weapon balance changes that will take effect immediately and upon the launch of “Rise of Iron” via the provided links.
However, new game content is still locked. The Plaguelands are closed to curious Guardians. But is there really no new toys for early testing? Yes! Reports are piling up that the Trespasser, the new exotic pistol, is already in the game. This special weapon was already shown in the ViDoc from Gamescom. In German, it is called “Unbefugter“.
A user writes that he received the Trespasser from an exotic engram. Here is his proof image:
Bungie has just responded via Twitter: Yes, the Trespasser drops early. But apparently this is not a problem, but intentional; they say: Have fun with it, Guardians!
About the Update 2.4.0
In “This Week at Bungie”, they talk about the changes brought by update 2.4.0. When “The Rise of Iron” is released on September 20, most of what you need will already be waiting on the console.
Now, however, a discrepancy: The expansion begins on that day at 2 AM Pacific Time, which has been known for days. For us, that is at 11 AM. However, the German Bungie site now states that RoI will go live at 1 PM Central European Time. If the launch is supposed to sound worldwide simultaneously, then 11 AM our time is correct.
By the way: Rise of Iron also brings some new trophies and achievements. We will report in detail about these throughout the day.
Known Issues with Update 2.4.0
The update has not only brought new content, most of which is still locked, but also issues:
The clan overview is still offline. You can see the new clan roster, the clan overview page, but no members are displayed. Additionally, clan tags are not yet available. Bungie will update when the clan features are activated.
You currently cannot retrieve the following exotic weapons from the weapon collection: “MIDA Multi-Tool”, “Patience and Time”, or “Dragon’s Breath”.
The “Quest Tracking” feature currently does not work for Crucible quests or any quest steps that involve activities on Earth or Mars.
When players try to inspect group bounty packages from either Eris or Petra Venj, there is no item preview displayed on the preview screen. Players will still receive rewards from these packages once collected.
The “Iron Shell” ghost shell is currently displayed with the wrong color scheme. While the ghost shell appears green in the item image, it is shown as the default ghost shell color in the game and on the preview screen.
Update: There are reports that items with higher light levels are dropping. 338 has already been spotted. Additionally, some Guardians are complaining about graphic issues.
Are you directly going on the hunt for the Trespasser? What other new features or problems have you noticed?

In the MMO shooter Destiny, the patch notes for update 2.4.0 have been released. This patch prepares for “Rise of Iron.”
The update 2.4.0 is now available for download on PS4 and Xbox One. Once the maintenance work on September 8 is completed, you can experience the new features. These changes will significantly shake up the Destiny sandbox, refresh the gaming experience, and prepare the world for the story of “The Rise of Iron.”
Now Zenimax Online has announced when to expect the release of the expansion. Since last week, the update has been on the PTS, the test server of the MMORPG, and can be played for testing purposes. The developers appreciate any feedback they can implement to improve the DLC. It will officially release on October 5 for PC version owners of ESO and on October 18 for those playing on Xbox One and Playstation 4.
One Tamriel brings many changes
The DLC will allow you to go anywhere and complete any content regardless of your level and faction after the tutorial. Your character will automatically scale for the respective content. However, this does not apply to PvP zones. Even if you want to play with high-level players, that will be possible, as your hero will be adjusted to your friend’s level. Additionally, all zones have been redesigned and adapted and expanded with new content.
All dungeons now have a normal and a veteran mode. Dungeons that already had a veteran mode now get two additional tiers. Craglorn has been completely redesigned, so you no longer have to be in a group for the content. Also, 30 new item sets have been added. Many more changes can be read in the official forum.
Overwatch players love the Play of the Games. However, some heroes get this moment more often than others.
Bastion and Mercy have high screentime
Every single match of Overwatch ends with a “Play of the Game” – a game-changing moment. Often, you see particularly devastating multi-kills or mass resurrections, but almost always, one of the ultimate abilities is the trigger. Many players, however, believe that not all characters receive the same treatment when it comes to selecting the Play of the Game. In the official forum, one player raised this issue and asked which characters are likely to be seen most often in the POTG scenes. A response from Jeff Kaplan did not take long to arrive.
The game director of the game explained which characters have received the most of these moments since the last patch (1.3). He stated:
“Quick Play: 1. Bastion 2. Genji 3. Torbjörn
Competitive Play: 1. Mercy 2. McCree 3. Reaper
Mercy is the only one who seems to be getting abnormally many POTGs. We are taking a closer look at her. The rest looks normal in relative comparison.”
This ignited the curiosity of the community, and after knowing the upper spectrum, fans also wanted to know which characters are the least seen. Kaplan provided an answer here as well:
“Ana and Lúcio. Finding cinematic POTGs for these heroes is particularly difficult, but we are discussing it.”
Mein-MMO says: The ranking is hardly surprising. Especially in Quick Play, Bastion is still regarded as the “noob shredder” who often wipes out entire attacks of an unwary team on his own. Mercy players, on the other hand, often wait until all 5 teammates are genuinely dead to secure the “Play of the Game”. Also, the rarity of Ana is hardly surprising, as her “Nanoboost” usually ensures that the boosted player gets the coveted scene and not herself. It remains to be seen which adjustments Blizzard will make there.

In Destiny, “The Rise of Iron” changes the sandbox. We list all changes to weapon balance that are coming with 2.4.0.
Bungie just released all changes coming to the weapons in Destiny with update 2.4.0. According to the developers, they have the opportunity to focus entirely on sandbox balance with each Destiny expansion. They learn from past mistakes and successes, analyze the data, and create a new balance landscape.
The following changes with update 2.4.0 go hand in hand with the weapon economy in “The Rise of Iron.” Since the changes are extremely extensive, we will copy them into the article that follows and present them clearly.
Exotic Weapons

Kills with the weapon now automatically reload a part of the magazine
Increase for base range (+16%) and -stability (+44%)
The Thorn
The “Thorn” is returning with “The Rise of Iron.” What are the “Thorn”‘s strengths?
Damage over time (which provides location information and delays health regeneration).
Fastest rate of fire family of hand cannons
Most effective in the class level range with “Reckless”
To avoid a repeat of year 1, it will be nerfed as follows:
Base range has been reduced by 25%
Universal Remote
The range bonus for the exotic perk has been reduced by 75% (no longer guarantees maximum shotgun range)
Increased rate of fire (damage is decreased as a side effect)
Promise of the Exiled
In line with the return of the pistols (see below), the Exiled receives a bit more love.
Increased damage and magazine size
Malicious Touch
It is intended that “Malicious Touch” is still best in the “King’s Fall” raid, but clever players have found ways to avoid the weapon’s only downside by saturating themselves with “Blessing of Light.” But the darkness brews stronger in the weapon…
Now removes “Blessing of Light” when inflicting self-damage
Boolean Twin
This weapon gets an additional tool.
The intrinsic perk “High-Caliber Rounds” has been added
No Time to Explain
The intrinsic perk “Headseeker” has been added
Changes to Weapon Classes with Update 2.4.0
Sniper Rifles
A family of sniper rifles currently stands out, namely those with medium-high impact (including “The Last Word” and “Y-09 Longbow Synthesis”).
The benefits of this family:
Decent magazine sizes combined with high impact result in strong damage over time
Strong target acquisition and combined with “Hidden Hand” they can reach the upper tier intended for sniper rifles with less impact (Weyloran’s March)
Ability to take out a Guardian in super state
High body shot damage at a fire rate still fast enough that a body shot with double tapping is still rewarding
The resulting sniper rifle possesses all the strengths of the other families, but without their drawbacks. To distribute the power a bit, Bungie has tweaked two aspects:
Damage has been reduced by 2% for medium-high impact sniper rifles (“The Last Word” family)
Medium-high impact sniper rifles can no longer reliably kill Guardians in super state
“No Land Beyond” is not affected by the damage reduction
Target acquisition for LDR 5001/Y-09 Longbow Synthesis has been reduced to bring it to the same level as other sniper rifles in this family
The result is that if you want to eliminate a Guardian in super state, you should opt for the sniper rifles that fire the slowest (Black Spindle), balanced by a smaller magazine, slower fire rate, and aim assist.
Aim Deviation (aka Flinch)
“You spot an enemy sniper and reduce him to pixels. Before you pull the trigger for your last round, you see a shimmer and hear the sound of your life ending. You raise your fist in the air and scream silently so that you do not wake the sleeping baby.”
With these changes, primary weapons are given a better chance to stand up against sniper rifles.
The initial strength of Aim Deviation (aka Flinch) has been increased when players take damage during target acquisition: from 30% start to 50% start
With each subsequent hit, the strength of the flinch increases until reaching 100% max flinch
Overall, the multiplier for sniper target acquisition has been increased to 1.9x (was 1.85x)
Bug Fixes
A bug has been fixed where the “Eirene” UI status bar displayed an incorrect rate of fire
Auto Rifles
With “The Rise of Iron,” new auto rifles are coming into play. Playtests showed that players had more than enough bullets for multiple skirmishes, so reloading was not as important. Bungie did not want players to think there wasn’t enough ammunition, but an opportunity for foes to strike is an important part of the “dance” in Destiny.
Auto rifles with medium fire rates also received a small damage boost to help with damage drop-off, but the damage they now do does not drastically change the kill time.
Maximum magazine size of the auto rifle family with the highest fire rate has been reduced (all weapons in the “Doctrine of Death” family)
Damage increase for auto rifles with medium fire rate (1.5%)
Shotguns
Rapid-fire shotguns are strong against opponents but are generally less used in PvP. The following changes are intended to sweeten the value proposition, starting with everyone’s favorite Titan weapon.
Immobius: Reduced spread on the Titan-class shotgun (0.1 zoom factor increase), base stability has been increased by 60%
Spread angle penalties on shotguns with the perk “Fully Automatic” have been reduced, “Blasphemy” is not affected by this
Increased high and medium-low fire rates of shotguns by 2%
Pulse Rifles
Pulse rifles with high fire rates are strong contenders in the Crucible, so Bungie is focusing on the low and medium fire rate models, improving them a bit while maintaining the three-burst kill rate.
Increased rate of fire for the Häkke pulse rifle “Lyudmila-D”
Small increase (2%) in damage for pulse rifles with medium fire rate (“Nirwen’s Mercy”)
Hand Cannons
According to player data, hand cannons were used the least. This is to be changed with 2.4.0, hand cannons are to shoot faster, farther, and more predictably.
Damage for all types of hand cannons has been standardized
Increase in damage for existing Häkke hand cannon families: 3% for the lowest fire rate, 7% for higher
Damage of non-hitscan hand cannons “Vestian Dynasty” and “Queen’s Choice” has been reduced by 5%
Small extension of damage drop-off point for all hand cannons (+ 0.5m)
Small increase in stability for all hand cannons
Additional damage bonus in PvE (depending on enemy level 20-30%)
To accommodate the new, faster-firing hand cannon families being released in “The Rise of Iron,” current fire rate bars for hand cannons will be shortened a bit:
This way, more room is available to showcase the difference in the bar
The actual rate of fire does not change, only the bar display
Rocket Launchers
“Grenades and Horseshoes” is by far the most popular rocket launcher perk. It reduces the chance of a rocket going astray but also removes many of the interesting combat prediction elements that make this weapon archetype so interesting.
Bungie hopes to mix up the rocket launcher perk selection a bit and give the archetype a bit more technique by making “Cluster Bombs” more reliable and “Grenades and Horseshoes” less effective.
Increased damage drop-off for “Cluster Bombs” explosions
Activation radius of “Grenades and Horseshoes” has been reduced (1.3->1m)
“Truth” is not affected by this
Machine Guns
High fire rate machine guns make the fantasy of effective crowd control a reality. Increasing their damage over time should also highlight them in other scenarios (e.g., in boss fights).
Increased damage for high fire rate machine guns (4%)
Hand Cannons
For this weapon category, there are only small bug fixes in 2.4.0. But as a preview for “The Rise of Iron,” hand cannons with freshly baked low fire rates have a higher potential maximum range to give players a good reason to choose this weapon type.
A problem was fixed where the rate of fire stats of the hand cannon “Curse of Zaouli” were displayed incorrectly
The incorrect rate of fire displays of the “King of the Possessed” strike and weapon day hand cannons were fixed (“Desperate 00-0” and “Kumakatok HC4”)
Fusion Rifles
And again only small bug fixes.
“Accelerated Coils” now correctly displays damage reduction in the UI status bars
No change to gameplay, only to the UI
A bug has been fixed that caused the status bar of “Techeun’s Wrath” to display incorrectly
Perks
After Bungie examined weapon perks player feedback and analyzed user data, they created a list of perks that could use a bit of freshening up. They also decided to reduce the effectiveness of “Unyielding,” as it would otherwise negate the aforementioned changes to “Flinch” on sniper rifles. And lastly, classic magazine perks such as “Armor-Piercing Rounds” now provide additional range bonuses.
On Your Knees
Now activates after 0.5 sec of crouching
Flinch has been reduced (25%) and the speed of the targeting system has been increased (1.25x)
Dug Up
The effect duration has been increased by an additional 5 seconds (total duration 15 seconds)
Cascade
Functional change: Melee kills now automatically reload a part of the magazine
Excess
Now increases ammo capacity
Grave Robber
Activation chance increased to 25% (from 20%)
Guerrilla Fighter
Stability and range bonuses have been increased by 200% (think of it as an additional “Hammer-Forged” and “Perfect Balance” once the perk is activated)
Magazine Perks
Stat bonuses for impact that had no effect on base damage, only on UI, have been removed
Fans recreate the movie “The Fast and The Furious” in detail with scenes from GTA 5.
Initially, the GTA fans from Vinewood Movies only wanted to recreate “the most famous scenes” from The Fast and the Furious in the game and publish them as a short video on YouTube. However, as they began filming the first scenes, they quickly realized that a short video would not be enough to show what they wanted to achieve. So, they decided to recreate the entire movie in GTA 5 Online.
A new part of the movie every week
The project has now lasted more than 1.5 years, during which scenes with the cars and characters from GTA 5 were recreated. GTA 5 is known for sleek sports cars like the Seven-70 or the Grotti X80. With the many different tuning options, players can tune and beautify the various cars in the game according to their own ideas. Vinewood Movies took advantage of the beautiful details of Grand Theft Auto 5 and produced a film that leaves viewers wanting more after the first part.
In total, more than 50 people helped to complete the film. The first part was released on September 2nd. A new part of the film, which totals about 80 minutes, will now be released every Friday. Therefore, part 2 will already be available tomorrow, continuing the story after the exciting ending of the first part.

The many detailed scenes clearly show how much work went into this project. The result is impressive. If you’re now interested in tuning your cars in GTA 5 Online, you still have the chance to save a lot of money until tomorrow. During the Sunday Driver Week, there are strong discounts on tuning parts!
Thank you very much to our reader Christian, who brought this fan project to our attention.
