We’ve seen a lot of action and updates in Clash of Clans, but what about Clash Royale? To be fair, we did get some balance changes on April 1 to some troops, but players also want new content.
Fear not, the Clash Royale team has announced on Twitter that they’ve been up to no good this past week and that they’re preparing an update for mid-April.
We headed over to the team’s Reddit post and discovered some of the new stuff that will be added to the game this month:
A new, streamlined progression system for Ladder (1v1)
New game modes
More to be revealed at a later date…
Among other stuff that will be tweaked or introduced, we will also get a new challenge every 48 hours starting with Tuesday, the team adding that it “will be a great chance to earn rewards ahead of the update.”
Also, when the update goes live, CRL 20 Win profile badges will be received.
The Clash Royale team explained that this update will not come next week, but it’s bound to roll out in Mid-April. While they didn’t want to reveal more details about the content of the update, the fact that there will be more game modes is pretty exciting. The progression system will make players want to give it a chance once again, explained Drew:
We’re hoping that this new update will remove some of that ‘i need time away from ladder’ feeling that a lot of players have!
Clan Wars 2.0 – “Big Plans For This”
As for what we should expect in the future, but not this update, it will be Clan Wars 2.0, according to another comment from Drew, explaining why they’re not adding Clan Wars 2.0 in this update:
Not this update, sorry! we have big plans for this and it didn’t make sense to do at the same time as a big 1v1 experience change.
Although the wait could be significant, knowing that the team wants to make Clan Wars 2.0 perfect and that they “have big plans for this” is great news.
Check back for more Clash Royale updates, which are bound to be announced the next week!
Accidents are inevitable. No one plans for it to happen or knows when it might, but accidents are real and you never know when you might find yourself in one. Hopefully, it’ll be something minor, where no one is hurt and the insurance can sort it out, but for those more serious accidents, it can be hard to keep track of everything going on, especially if you’ve been injured. The first thing you need to do is try to stay calm. As long as you’re calm, you can make sure you take care of everything you need to do in order to protect yourself from getting stuck footing the bill. Here are the steps you’ll want to take when in an accident where injuries are involved.
1. Call The Police
Before anything else, call the police to get a police report, and possibly an ambulance if necessary. Give the officers as much information as you can about the location of the accident and vehicles involved, as well as any other possible injuries the other party may be suffering from. Getting a police report is probably one of, if not the most important step. A police report ensures there is an objective account of the events from an authoritative source. This gives insurance companies a reference to work off of if there are conflicting statements from multiple drivers. The report will also list the complaints and injuries of all involved parties, that way if anyone mysteriously pops up claiming injury and involvement who wasn’t originally there, the police report can reference that.
2. Check on the Other Drivers and Take Photos
With the police called, make sure the other parties are alright and while you’re there, take photos of the license plates and insurance information. Offer your insurance information to those willing to provide theirs, but if anyone refuses to provide their information, don’t worry too much about it and don’t fight them on it. The police will get all of that information down and provide it in the report once complete. The important part is to get photos of the license plates and possibly damages if you’re physically capable. If you’re too injured to leave the vehicle, or trapped in your car, take what photos you can from where you are.
3. Call Your Insurance
Once all that is taken care of, call your insurance and start the claims process. They’ll take you through some basic questions like where the accident occurred, a brief description of the accident, and information about all vehicles involved. Answer as best you can, and try to provide as many important details like the make and model of cars involved, points of impact, and how many others are involved, along with potential injuries. Don’t worry if you can’t get everything in on the first call, a claims specialist will follow up with you within the first 24 hours after an accident to gather more information and go over a detailed account of the accident. The important part here is to get the claims process started.
4. Seek Legal Counsel
While it may not always be necessary, it is often a good idea to retain an injury lawyer if you have any kind of suspicion that the claim might take a sideways turn. If any drivers fled the scene, if one driver changes their story or if there are extensive injuries on any of the involved parties, or if people who weren’t initially at the scene start crawling out of the woodwork, seek legal counsel immediately. Your insurance usually has a legal department which helps with matters like these as well, but having your own attorney can help assist your insurance legal department, and might be able to utilize other resources or have more time available to work on your case than your insurance company’s legal team.
5. Keep Records of Everything
As time passes, details get fuzzy and sometimes you don’t always remember exactly how things happened, or forget which vehicles were involved where. Most insurance companies take recorded statements from each party involved, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t keep your own records regarding the accident. Make a folder or two for anything related to the accident, one for the medical side of things (doctors bills, medical coverages, etc) and one for the auto side of things (damages, details about the accident, inspection notes and estimates).
Injury claims can sometimes take years to fully resolve, as it can be difficult to estimate a final value on continuing treatment, as well as putting a value on pain and suffering caused along with other incidentals. Keeping detailed records will help make sure you keep up with any deadlines you need to keep in regards to sending documents to your insurance company and the like.

Google releases the second Android Q Beta. With the first version, we learned that support for foldable smartphones would be brought by Android Q, as well as better privacy and permissions controls, along with some other features. However, our devices will have to wait a while until they benefit from the Android Q Beta 2, but promises written by Google in their release blog post saying that “bug fixes, optimizations, and API updates” will be introduced, along with a great emulator for foldable and a crazy new multitasking feature.
Android is a multitasking lover, and we have seen that from the floating windows and split screens, along with a hidden desktop mode in the Android Q Beta 1. A new multitasking feature will be introduced by Android Q Beta 2, and its name is Bubbles. Bubbles allow the user to minimize an app into a little circle which will float around on the screen above all your other apps.
Android Q Beta 2 rolled out with the new Bubbles multitasking feature
A small UI will be opened if you tap on a bubble. The only demo showed by Google is of the one for a messaging app. A contact can be found in each bubble, and a small chat UI is showed if you tap on the bubble. If you did not forget Facebook’s “Chat Head” UI for Messenger, Bubbles is not different from that, but it is built into the OS.
Google said that Bubbles could be used in a lot of ways, so it is helpful for everybody. “Bubbles are great for messaging because they let users keep important conversations within easy reach. They also provide a convenient view over ongoing tasks and updates, like phone calls or arrival times. They can provide quick access to portable UI, like notes or translations, and can be visual reminders of tasks too.”
Pokemon Go fans will be glad to hear that the game has planned numerous real-world events. The Pokemon Go Summer Tour 2019 aims to build upon the success of the previous years. Last year, real-world Pokémon Go events managed to gather more than 3 million people. In just one day, the attendance for a single day event reached more than 100,000 persons. This year’s Pokemon Go Summer Tour is expected to gather even more players.
Pokemon Go reached about 460 million downloads, so far
“Last year’s Pokemon Go Summer Tour brought hundreds of thousands of Trainers together at real-world events around the world which left us with some truly unforgettable moments and stories. This summer, we’re looking to continue to build upon that success and create even more ways for Trainers to enjoy and interact with these incredible parks and cities and build lasting friendships throughout their journeys of encountering Pokémon in the ‘real-world,’” explained John Hanke, CEO of Niantic.
Hanke also explained that more than 190 million friend connections were made to date. More than that, the platform can support 100 million people at the same time. Hank concluded that the Pokemon Go game has around 460 million downloads at the moment.
Pokemon Go Summer Tour 2019 will come with big surprises
The Summer Tour prepared for this year will come with plenty of surprises. We already know that the Pokemon Go Fest: Chicago will take place from June 13th to June 16th. Also, Pokemon Go Fest: Dortmund, in Germany, will take place from July 4th to July 7th. Pokemon Go Summer Tour 2019 is even supposed to make a stop in Asia, although we do not have too many details at the moment.
This one is the third consecutive year when the tour stops in Chicago, and in 2019 the event will take place for four days instead of two. This year, the event will take place in Grant Park.
