In October, a hardcore player wants to reach the maximum level in Pokémon GO. He is already well on his way!
As a casual player, one cannot describe this player at all. Jimmy Derocher from Texas has made it his goal to reach the maximum level in Pokémon GO in a short time. Without any cheats, he is now close to achieving the set goal of level 40. Already in August, he wanted to prove that one can earn 1 million experience points per day. However, the anti-cheat system of Pokémon GO caused problems for him, as it mistook him for a cheater.
He plays 40 hours a week of Pokémon GO
By October 23, Jimmy Derocher aims to achieve level 40 in Pokémon GO and would thus likely be the first player in the world to reach this goal without cheating. With the help of cheats, a player had already reached the maximum level in July. Cheating is out of the question for Jimmy Derocher . To master this goal in the given time frame, he plays diligently and covers many kilometers. He has set a special route where he can earn a lot of experience points.
He earns about 50,000 experience points per hour
40 hours a week he spends playing Pokémon GO (5 hours on 4 weekdays and 10 hours each day on the weekend)
On his adventures, he has already visited 20,674 PokéStops
We hope that he reaches his set goal and will achieve the maximum level in Pokémon GO by October 23. Anyone who pursues a goal with such dedication should also be rewarded. Especially because he is pursuing this goal legitimately and not trying to cheat.

The fan project Loverwatch is a dating sim based on Overwatch. But how safe is one from Blizzard?
The US site Kotaku has featured “Loverwatch” in a longer interview and introduced the minds behind it. Loverwatch is a dating sim with Overwatch characters. Although the project is still in development, the interest in Loverwatch is surprisingly high on Tumblr. Many newcomers to the project think that all heroes are available – but only three are, namely Genji, Mei, and Bastion. The whole thing has to stay within the “fan framework”; otherwise, the dialogue explodes, requiring an insane number of dialogue lines that couldn’t be managed.
It is said that Bastion’s data consists 100% of beeps and boops. You also interact with the bird, and body language is extremely important here.
The game works like an RPG; you play a character in the world of Overwatch, start at the base, choose a profession, and then the journey begins.
As natural experts on such matters, the developers of Loverwatch were also asked which “pairing” they prefer in Overwatch. A favorite here is probably Mercy and Pharah (“Pharmercy”) – they are definitely more than just friends. This whole situation is particularly appealing because there is also a “super mom” in the game with Ana.
The legal situation of Loverwatch is unclear – one hopes for Blizzard’s grace
As nice as the project sounds, one lives in constant fear that Blizzard will pull the plug with a copyright lawsuit. Although the developers of Loverwatch have sought contact with Blizzard several times to get an “okay,” Blizzard has never replied. Recently, several fan projects have been abruptly terminated, especially by companies like Nintendo. One hopes that Blizzard will react “atypically”.
In Destiny, the weekly reset takes place today, on September 20th. However, this is not an ordinary reset: Today is the release date of “The Rise of Iron”! Rise of Iron begins today.
This week, our coverage of weekly activities will run a bit differently than usual. Today is a special day: The “Rise of Iron” era begins – along with the weekly reset at 11 AM.
What are the weekly activities available right at launch? Where does the Nightfall take us? We will take a look at Destiny right at launch and will update this article gradually – we will basically provide live updates on what happens after 11 AM. You won’t miss anything with us.
What is there to do in Destiny on PS4 and Xbox One?
Update:
The Nightfall Strike on September 20th is the new strike
The first Nightfall strike after the launch of RoI is “The Wretched Eye”. Recommended Light Level is 360.
Modifiers are:
Epic
Arc Burn
Brawler: Damage from Guardian melee attacks is increased.
Shielded: More enemies carry shields.
Suppressor: Guardian shields are reinforced but regenerate slowly.
In the new heroic SIVA Crisis Strike playlist, the modifiers are: Heroic, Arc Burn, Juggler, Catapult.
In the Oryx raid, the challenge is Golgoroth.
In the arena, there are extra points for precision kills. The modifiers are Specialist and Riptide.
At around 11 AM, you can then begin with the new content. The new campaign will likely be the first thing many Guardians will play in the autumn expansion. In it, you will first liberate the new social space called Felwinter Peak and then become an Iron Lord yourself. The first of a total of 5 story missions in RoI is already known.
By the way: Bungie announces via Twitter that there will be no “World-First Status” for the one who reaches the Iron Temple on Felwinter Peak first. You are meant to enjoy the ascent. The community manager DeeJ also advises the Guardians that the wolves are not pets. In the new gathering spot, you will encounter some of these wildlife.
Additionally, the developers recently announced that you can now purchase the original soundtrack in the Bungie Store. If you do so, you will receive an exclusive emblem: “The Transcendence”. You can only obtain the item through this means. The soundtrack costs $7.
Live Updates for the Launch of Rise of Iron in Destiny
Update 10:40 AM: All necessary updates and patches are already live according to Bungie. At 11 AM, you just need to fly to orbit, and all new content should be ready.
Update 10:55: According to DeeJ, this is one of those moments that hundreds of talented individuals go to work for every day. The content is not live yet. Currently, it is Taniks Nightfall!
It is 11 AM: We begin. According to Bungie, the expansion is live. We are having issues logging in: Tapir!
Rise of Iron Begins with Server Issues – TAPIR Error Code
11:04 AM: Yes, we can’t get into the game. Let’s see what’s going on at Bungie.net and reddit. No weekly and daily missions are displayed on Bungie.net. The message “Server down” is circulating on reddit. Quite annoying!
11:14 AM: No word from Bungie yet regarding the server issues. The internet is going crazy: Bungie should fix the servers.
11:27: For those who want to follow the launch, our friend Nexxoss is streaming live on Twitch.

11:32: Ttime ran out of the editorial rooms with tears in his eyes: He can’t stand the emotional pressure of not being able to play Destiny.
11:37: The privilege of waiting for the server launch is also available at Amazon.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
11:45: There seems to be some sort of queue now, as Bungie apparently wants to control the traffic jam that is severely hindering the launch of “Rise of Iron”.
11:47: Ttime is number 34722 and is already close to tears again.
11:51: Destiny: Where the Tapir lurks in the queue
12:03: Our in-house streamer Nexxoss is now in the game. Weapons with a 350 attack value are being sold in the Tower.
12:11: The Iron Gjallarhorn is in the post office with a 3 attack value.
That’s it for now with the live updates. We will bring one or two more articles today. Have fun, Guardians.
Update: Gradually, the Guardians are getting in. The weekly reset will be listed at the top of the article.

This time, there is a McCree from the world of Overwatch PotGs who hits the jackpot.
Once again, numerous amusing or exciting gameplay scenes have occurred in Overwatch this week, finding their way to various social media platforms. To save you from sifting through this abundance of clips, we have curated the best ones. We present to you our Top 3 weekly “Play of the Game” moments!
McCree – the Sharpshooter on the Rampart
Finding the right moment for the Ultimate with McCree isn’t that easy. Most of the time, a “High Noon” is thwarted in its infancy, or if it happens successfully, maybe two or three enemies die. However, the player Why doesn’t do things halfway and positions himself strategically on the new map “Eichenwalde”. Seconds later, a hail of bullets rains down on the opposing team, killing 4 enemies + D.Va’s Mech. The Korean who got out experiences no mercy thereafter.

Snypas proves that the “Play of the Game” can sometimes end a second early as well. In his clip, he takes out many enemies as Junkrat with the Rip-Tire. But as he tries to dodge the opponent’s Hanzo’s Ultimate, this happens:

Our last clip shows an Ana and Genji in perfect harmony. While there’s nothing really new about that, neither Ana nor Genji need the full duration of the ultimate ability. In fact, the whole fun lasts only 0.5 seconds before 4 enemies go down with a single strike.

In FIFA 17, the release of the FUT17 web app is imminent. It is expected to launch today, on September 20.
FIFA fans are currently eagerly waiting for the launch of a specific app that will simplify their lives in the “Ultimate Team” mode and provide them with various rewards and gifts: The “FIFA 17 Web App”.
So far, there has been no specific release date from EA Sports, but indications are increasing that the web app will launch today – likely in the evening around 7 PM. However, the exact time can only be speculated at this point.
Update 7:15 PM: The web app is still not live.
On September 16, the developers shut down the “FUT 16 Web App,” which is currently being maintained and prepared for FIFA 17. When you open the web app on the “EA Sports” website, you will receive the following message:
Rumors have been circulating online for days that the web app for Ultimate Team in FIFA 17 could be released on September 20. Yesterday, new hints about the launch emerged: On the Facebook page, EA Sports FIFA stated that it “will probably be available tomorrow” (which means today, on September 20). They will inform once it is online.
What features and free packs does the FUT 17 web app bring?
Since EA Sports has not yet released any information about the app, we cannot list any specific features at this point. If it remains similar to previous years, you can use the app to build your Ultimate Team in FIFA 17, set up tactics, browse the transfer market, buy and sell cards – basically, do nearly everything just like in the in-game “FUT 17”. However, you cannot play matches with the app.
If you’re on the go or have a free minute at work, you can start preparing for cozy evening gaming.
Additionally: If EA Sports handles it like in previous years, you can occasionally score free packs and coins as rewards and prizes. Especially in the first days after the app’s launch, loyal FIFA fans can expect daily gifts. It should be worth checking the app every day once it has launched.
If you don’t want to sift through a multitude of articles to find out exactly what is happening in Patch 3.4 “Soul Surrender” for Final Fantasy XIV, you can watch the latest trailer in German.
It runs over 8 minutes and gives insights into what is being added to the game.
With the 7.1 patch of World of Warcraft, the story of Suramar continues. We will reveal what awaits you in the new missions. While not all players of World of Warcraft agree on how to gain reputation with the Nightborne of Suramar, most are quite enthusiastic about the questline itself.
The Finale in Suramar
The story about the Nightfallen is well thought out and has a quite successful tension curve – without being fully resolved. Currently, the questline ends after the last step that can be completed in the raid instance “Emerald Nightmare.” However, with patch 7.1, the story continues and tells the final chapters of the plot. We give you a little insight into what is yet to come.
But beware! This contains spoilers.
The Arc’andor has developed splendidly. The magical tree is powered by the ley lines and has even returned the Nightfallen to their former form as Nightborne. Strengthened and rejuvenated, it is now time to take the field against Elisande to free Suramar from the grip of the demons and their current ruler. This is increasingly necessary, as more and more inhabitants are abducted by the demons and sacrificed for cruel rituals.
During the “great meeting” of the elf factions, the Nightfallen ask the other elves for help – both the Blood, Night, and High Elves. Under the respective leadership of Tyrande Whisperwind, Lady Liadrin, and Vereesa Windrunner, the peoples meet: Trust is scarce, but the goal creates a purpose alliance. Once all the forces are gathered, the attack begins – the Nightfallen and all allied elves storm the city. Gradually, the united forces advance and push Elisande’s troops back into the heart of the city – the Night Fortress.
At the very end of the questline is the opening of the raid “The Night Fortress.” As a reward for completing this long questline, there is a stylish mount that the folks from wowhead have already extracted from the game data.
Cortyn says: Currently, the entire questline can be played on the PTR. On the live servers, it will be released over 9 weeks, so there will be a handful of quests to complete each week. So far, it looks like a worthy conclusion for one of the best areas that World of Warcraft has ever had. Although there are still some loose ends, such as the fate of certain NPCs, this could be addressed in a later patch.

Since September 19, updates 2.4.0.1 and 2.4.0.2 are available for download in Destiny. These are provided bundled with version 1.28. What’s included?
Now it is finally time. The long wait will come to an end in a few hours. At 11 AM our time, the “The Rise of Iron” expansion goes live. Face SIVA! Become the Iron Lord! And as DeeJ reminded again via Twitter: Don’t treat the wolves as pets!
The final preparations for “Rise of Iron” were made last night. Shortly after 7 PM, updates 2.4.0.1 and 2.4.0.2 appeared. These are provided bundled with version 1.28 – so you do not need to download two updates. Once this patch is installed, you can start playing again.
According to Bungie’s Twitter page, maintenance work was still ongoing last night but has now been completed.
Update Notes for 2.4.0.1 and 2.4.0.2
Here we list the update notes provided by Bungie. What changes does patch 1.28 bring?
2.4.0.1 is considered the update before Rise of Iron:
General:
Gear is now properly displayed in the kiosks.
Audio issues have been fixed. During long sessions, the sound could fail.
There are now “Localization updates” for the “Rise of Iron” content in the game.
Quests:
Quest tracking was not functioning properly in the Cosmodrome and on Mars.
Additionally, there were issues with quest tracking for the Tower and the NPCs in the Tower.
Crucible:
The volume of Lord Shaxx was adjusted for some remarks.
In addition, 2.4.0.2 brings:
General:
The issue with the “Film Grain” has been resolved. This grain effect was inadvertently included.
Additionally, the reviving mechanics were adjusted. The time and distance for this had values like before 2.2.0.
You must download and install patch 1.28 to play Destiny and thus “Rise of Iron”.
In Destiny , the Exotics that will be available with Rise of Iron are now known. These are the 7 lost armor pieces from “King of the Taken.”
In Fall 2015, significantly more exotic armors appeared in the database than actually made it into the game: 18 exotic armors were in the database. Only 9 made it into the game, and later in the winter, two more were added – the other seven Exotics remained lost. They did not arrive with the April update, even though some had expected them.
So far, Bungie has been silent about which exotic armor pieces would be coming to the game. It remains to be seen whether the expectations of the Guardians regarding the armor pieces will be met after more than a year.
By the way, there seem to be no surprises with the exotic weapons – all Exotics that come with Rise of Iron were more or less already known: Thorn, Khostov 7G-0X, Outlaw, Nemesis Star, and the Gjallarhorn.

Nomi causes some frustration among players of World of Warcraft. The chef can do a lot – just not cook properly.
Professions have long been a staple of World of Warcraft, and with Legion, the developers wanted to give these activities a special touch. This has been successful in some cases – in others, not so much.
Nomi – not the chef he is believed to be
Players are currently experiencing a lot of frustration with cooking. In a few days, raids will begin, and everyone wants the coveted buff food. Cooking works differently in Legion than before. Players do not need to research recipes themselves; most of this task is handled by the Pandaren Nomi, whom we remember from “Mists of Pandaria”.
Nomi is still known to us from MoP – but he hasn’t really improved.
The process itself is simple: You hand Nomi a lot of materials, and he gradually cooks them as work orders. After a certain waiting period, you can pick up your products – mostly burnt food. Occasionally, however, Nomi discovers a new recipe that the player can then learn. Sometimes, the motivated Pandaren also burns stacks of good meat without producing anything at all.
Thanks, Nomi.
The developers say: This is intentional. Nomi will gradually become better in the coming weeks and months – the further the expansion progresses, the more useful recipes Nomi produces.
However, there is still a bug related to Nomi. If you keep handing the Pandaren the same type of meat, you often receive 4 or even 5 units of the same recipe. These can only be looted individually (since they are unique) and must then be deleted manually. One by one and in order. Blizzard is working on a hotfix – but without a definitive timeframe.

Marvel Heroes is receiving the largest system update in its history. The aim is to simplify the game.
Marvel Heroes is in a peculiar position. The Free2Play concept and the Marvel license attract casual players – but the game itself is surprisingly complex and requires thorough engagement: One must properly skill the character, allocate points correctly in alternative progression paths like the Omega system, and then compile a good build from the items – for each character individually.
Now a massive update has been announced that will revise the 59 heroes so they can operate with fewer buttons. An action bar with 8 buttons should suffice. Additionally, there are plans to simplify character skilling so that it becomes about “decisions that matter.”
It sounds reminiscent of how WoW streamlined its bloated skill system.
This is what the progress of the Human Torch is expected to look like.
There is no timeline yet for the mammoth task of revising all 59 heroes simultaneously. However, players can expect the first revisions on the test server in October.

The new biker DLC for GTA 5 Online will soon be released – New motorcycles and gangs are waiting for you!
Fans of Grand Theft Auto have had to wait a long time for this expansion. In the past, there was a biker DLC for GTA 4 that was well received by fans. To get more biker content in GTA 5, 70 biker crews have already signed a petition. Clearly, their wishes were heard and implemented by the Rockstar team. An official announcement shows what the Bikers DLC in GTA 5 Online brings.
Establish your own motorcycle club
With the new expansion for GTA 5 Online, you have the opportunity to start a motorcycle club with up to 8 players. There are various roles from a fresh prospect to the club president. With cooperative game modes, you will be out and about with your club members. There are many new features that the expansion brings, including a number of new motorcycles and new properties. This includes MC clubhouses, which are even equipped with their own motorcycle tuning workshop. Of course, there’s also room for any shady businesses in addition to the workshop.
You have various options to rise within the gang and conduct business. Bikers also offers you a selection of suitable game modes. These include weapons, outfits, and tattoos that are intended to enhance the biker experience. Additionally, there will be risky business opportunities (with vehicles) in Los Santos and Blaine County. Besides CEOs, you can also earn money as a biker.
Already in July, initial hints of a motorcycle DLC were found through data mining. Back then, it was assumed that there would be some sort of CEO mission for bikers and garages or houses for a potential DLC. We can be excited to see what missions and contracts will be incorporated into the game. Unfortunately, Rockstar has not yet announced when the Bikers DLC will be released.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, we are looking at the videos of the week today. We also expect the hotfixes 2.4.0.1 and 2.4.0.2. CAT error codes may occur.
Just one more sleep, then your new Guardian adventures begin and you will become Iron Lords! However, today, on September 19, around 7 PM, two updates will be installed on PS4 and Xbox One. These are the hotfixes 2.4.0.1 and 2.4.0.2. They will be indicated with version 1.28 (PS4).
As soon as the fixes are ready, it may happen, according to Bungie, that you are immediately removed from your activities so that you can download and install. Otherwise, you will be prompted to do so as soon as the updates are live and you return to the orbit. It is possible that the CAT error code appears. No maintenance work has been announced. After you have installed the updates, you can continue playing.
The Videos of the Week are Musical
But now let’s take a look at the videos of the week first. Bungie provides four clips, we provide two clips. The creators of the videos selected by Bungie receive a unique badge that they can proudly wear in the Guardianship.
The title “Video of the Week” was awarded to “Rise Up,” a Crucible montage accompanied by a rap. A successful combination?

The streamer was out near Central Park to play Pokémon GO. Suddenly, he is attacked from behind, knocked down, and robbed.
Terrifying images could be seen in the live stream of Rickeybot, who was actually trying to catch Pokémon. While he was streaming his Pokémon adventure near Central Park, he entertained his viewers on TwitchTV.
In the camera’s view, which was focused on his face, you can see a man approaching the streamer from behind and suddenly hitting him. The attacker then takes his phone away and runs off. His face, however, was clearly identifiable.
The crime was filmed – victim without serious injuries
As the attacker approaches from behind, his face can be seen for the first time. Shortly after Rickeybot was struck, the perpetrator looks into the camera again. Apparently, he did not realize that his face was being recorded in good quality and is now available as wanted material. Warning, in the following video you will see the crime unedited:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z6YPVsohzQ
After the incident, Rickeybot went to the police and told them about the robbery. He then went to the hospital to have his jaw examined. Fortunately, he did not suffer any serious injuries. His jaw is “only” swollen for a few days, and he also has a bump on his head that he got from hitting the pavement.
The footage of the incident has been handed over by Rickeybot to the police. His recordings had better quality than the VOD on Twitch/Youtube. Shortly after, it became known that his Twitch channel was banned for 24 hours. Presumably, because the stream continued after the robbery and did not show any gaming content. His comment on the ban on Twitch was: “To make it even worse, my Twitch channel was also suspended.”
Rickeybot later tweeted that he is now taking a short break and will be back for his viewers on Wednesday.
We wish him a speedy recovery!

In FIFA 17, we present the key combinations for all special moves on PS4 and PS3. How do the 5-star tricks work?
In FIFA 17, there are countless ways to create scoring opportunities or maintain ball possession. One tried-and-true method is strong passing to keep the ball and the opponent moving and to create gaps in the opponent’s defense.
If you have players with high skills on your team, you can dizzy opponents and outsmart them with various special moves. However, this only works if you know exactly which buttons to press.
In the following, we present the key combinations for all tricks in FIFA 17. Currently, we only have those for PS4 and PS3, but the special moves on Xbox should also be executable with the respective button equivalents.
5-Star Tricks – Only a Few Players Can Execute Them
To perform certain special moves, your players need specific requirements. This is based on a star rating unit: The more stars a virtual footballer has, the more – and better – tricks he can perform. One star is the minimum, and five stars are the maximum.
These are the 1-Star Tricks
With just one star, almost no tricks can be performed. You can only keep the ball in the air and perform a standing foot feint.
These are the 2-Star Tricks
These are the 3-Star Tricks
These are the 4-Star Tricks
These are the 5-Star Tricks
Juggling Tricks:
Notes:
An arrow pointing up means that you need to push in the direction of movement. Accordingly, you need to move the right or left stick in the respective game situation.
Hold means you need to keep the stick pressed in the direction for a certain time.
Flick means to briefly press in the direction, then return the stick to its starting position.
Some special moves can only be executed while standing, such as the juggling tricks.
How many stars a player has can be seen in the detail view of each player. This is particularly interesting in FUT 17 for your Ultimate Team: What skills do your players actually have?
A deaf Guardian demands better subtitles from Bungie for Destiny .
The problem with Destiny and the subtitles is, as a discussion reveals, that Bungie has added subtitles for the “main storyline,” but the small NPC dialogues that make up much of the actual game are not included as subtitles.
The deaf Guardian Tigersharkdude has initiated a discussion on Reddit, advocating for Bungie to provide subtitles for the random remarks of the NPCs. The murmurs of Variks when you walk by him in the Reef, a comment from Rahool about the recently decrypted engram, or Shaxx’s “Show no mercy” shout in the Crucible should be included.
His voice is one of the absolute fan favorites: Variks.
It’s precisely these dialogues – and not the big story elements – that bring the world alive for the Guardians, it seems. Guardians on Reddit and elsewhere show great understanding for the deaf Guardian’s request: Everyone should be able to hear Shaxx’s shout, as one comment states. The Reddit thread has received numerous positive reactions, standing at nearly 4800 upvotes and over 600 comments.
Community Manager Cozmo has already responded and assured that he will pass the request on to the relevant developers.

Dice and Electronic Arts have released a new trailer for the upcoming DLC Death Star for the online shooter Star Wars: Battlefront, and it has a lot going on!
The trailer shows how the battle unfolds as the Rebels try to destroy the Death Star. There will be space battles where Rebel X-Wing fighters fight against TIE fighters and Star Destroyers, trying to protect a transport ship that must land on the Death Star. This transport ship carries soldiers who need to find and secure an important robot before the fighters outside directly attack the Death Star.
Finally, space battles!
The trench run known from the film Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope plays an important role. The trailer also showcases the two new heroes Chewbacca and Bossk. With the Death Star DLC, fans of Star Wars: Battlefront can expect an apparently spectacular experience. The DLC finally introduces the long-awaited space battles that are truly exciting.
Death Star will be released tomorrow, September 20. Those who own the Season Pass for Star Wars: Battlefront will have the DLC unlocked automatically. However, those who wish to purchase the update individually will have to wait another two weeks. In December, the last DLC for the online shooter, Rogue One: Scarif, will follow, which revolves around the upcoming movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Get ready for the battles and “May the Force be with you!”

World of Warcraft: Legion is full of mysteries. One of the eeriest so far rests in the Nightmare of Val’Sharah – in the area “Dreadroot”.
The latest expansion of World of Warcraft has often proven in recent weeks that there are some secrets that will probably not be deciphered for many months. However, not all stories are as positive and cheerful as that of the long-forgotten Hippogryph.
The “Rose” from Dreadroot
In Val’Sharah, the Nightmare breaks through the corrupted World Tree into Azeroth and has ruined large parts of the landscape. One place is a former Night Elf settlement, now called “Dreadroot”. During the leveling phase, players only briefly pass by Tyrande Whisperwind here – there is a bonus quest and a rare enemy as well as later a world quest.
However, those who are observant will find plenty of eerie things here. In total, there are 7 notes scattered on the ground that can be clicked and read. For most players, the papers consist of gibberish – they are written in Darnassian. However, if a Night Elf interacts with the notes, they can read the messages. And they are creepy.
On the first notes, one can read the following (abridged):
“Every rose has its thorns. Every rose has its thorns. Every rose has its thorns. Every rose has its thorns. Every rose has its thorns. (…)”
The second message does not provide much clarity (also abridged):
“I am a rose. I am a rose. I am a rose. I am a rose. I am a rose. I am a rose. I am a rose. I am a rose. (…)”
The last message is somewhat hidden and can be found on the shelf in the house of Dreadroot. It is lengthier – and no less bizarre:
“If I am a rose, then I have thorns, but if I have thorns, then I am not pure, and if I am not pure, then I am not worthy, and if I am not worthy, then I will suffer, and if I will suffer, I will make sure that all the other unworthy will suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer…”
As if these messages weren’t creepy enough, the place has even more to offer. Those who look closely at the house will discover a striking number of skeletons, many of which have flowers growing out of their skulls – roses, to be precise. More than 10 skeletons can be found, some even lying in a grave dug especially for that purpose.
Magoria – just a “Named Mob” or a terrible fate?
But the spook doesn’t end there. Near the house, there is an elite opponent named “Magoria”. This enemy does not belong to any questline and does not leave any notable loot. He (or in the case of the name: she?) simply walks up and down the river, spewing “Seeping Eyes” repeatedly – regardless of whether anyone is fighting Magoria.
Particularly eerie: Magoria is classified as a “Humanoid”. This can only be a mistake or indicate a terrible incident that took place there. In any case, priests (Mind Control) and rogues (Persuade) can control Magoria for a set period. But even then, he/she/it still spits out eyes (and in doing so frightens itself).
But what has happened in Dreadroot? Do all these things tell a bizarre story of how a druid slowly succumbs to the Nightmare? What is the deal with the roses? Who or what exactly is Magoria?
What all these clues actually mean seems to still be a mystery. Perhaps there will be more information in the upcoming raid instance or the area will be needed for a yet-to-be-unlocked quest. All the messages there suggest an exciting story that will hopefully be deciphered soon.
In any case, this story proves one thing: World of Warcraft is once again full of mysteries and it’s fun to slowly get to the bottom of it. Even if some nightmares are probably better left unexplained.

In Destiny, there is a secret jump passage in the new social space called Felwinter Peak that takes you further up to the summit. We will show you the way up.
Felwinter Peak is the new meeting point of the “The Rise of Iron” expansion, which was released on September 20, 2016. From there, you plan your missions, prepare for adventures, and receive quests. Additionally, you will find various NPCs in this social space – and secrets!
One secret involves ringing the bells in the correct order – this is already indicated in a trophy description. Another secret was uncovered by the YouTuber Arekkz Gaming when he got to play an early version of “Rise of Iron”.
Your jumping skills will be rewarded
The meeting point on Felwinter Peak is far from the highest point you can reach on this mountain. It goes even higher if you prove yourself as a mountain goat and are a Guardian without a fear of heights.
To reach the goal, you need to scramble a lot and jump over abysses. It is an extremely long jumping puzzle that is challenging. It is recommended to crank up your Guardian agility, as every inch of height and reach can be crucial.
If you want to find out the way to the very top by yourself, we advise you not to watch the following video. Otherwise, here is the concrete way:

When you reach the top, you will find a “Dormant SIVA Cluster” as a reward. It is not yet known how many of these items exist and what they are specifically for. Some of them are needed for the Gjallarhorn quest.
Note: Watch your heads during the jumping passages. Sometimes there are rocky outcrops above you. If you jump against these, it is very likely that it will go steeply downhill for you.
Distractions while driving are often the cause of accidents. Just quickly sending a message on WhatsApp or posting a status on Facebook can distract a driver for a few seconds. Nintendo has now added a warning in the AR game reminding drivers that Pokémon GO should not be used while driving. Unfortunately, many players ignore this message, which often leads to serious consequences.
Car Accidents Due to Pokémon GO
An American study from JAMA International Medicine examined the connections between Pokémon GO and driving. Twitter posts and Google news were searched for keywords such as “Pokémon”, “driving”, and “car”. Afterward, it was checked whether the found data indicated that Pokémon GO was used while driving. The study states:
Vehicle accidents are the leading cause of death among 16-24 year-olds (the target audience of the game). According to the American Automobile Association, 59% of all accidents involving young drivers involved a distraction. This occurred within 6 seconds before an accident. Through information from Twitter and news, we find that drivers are distracted by Pokémon GO and may therefore cause accidents.
According to the results of the study, 113993 accidents were reported on Twitter within 10 days. Of these tweets, 33% indicated that a driver, passenger, or pedestrian was distracted by Pokémon GO. One user wrote that their drive home usually takes 5 minutes. When they use Pokémon GO, the drive takes 20 minutes. Another user wrote that their mother stopped the car in the middle of the road to catch a Pokémon.
A user, who was a passenger with his brother, reported that he held both smartphones in his hands while his brother yelled at him to catch Pokémon for him.
A user who was driving wrote that a kid ran in front of his car because they were distracted by the game.
Pokémon GO reminds you for a reason that you should not play while driving. Safety first!
