Destiny 2: Maintenance on 19.09. – All times and info

Britta ♤ BeAngel Britta ♤ BeAngel Reading time 3 minutes

The past weekend turned everything upside down in Destiny 2. Today’s update is supposed to straighten a lot of things out. MeinMMO tells you when Bungie plans to take the servers offline and what else has been announced.

Update history for maintenance:

08:15 PM: Unfortunately, the game is still not running smoothly after maintenance. Players are reporting increased error codes and are being kicked from the game. Bungie Help is investigating the errors causing an increase in error codes CURRANT, COCONUT, WEASEL, and CENTIPEDE.

07:00 PM: The servers are back online. The update replaced the selection of shells and perks for exotic and legendary weapons. The illegal weapon perks have also been exchanged.

04:15 PM: Destiny 2 is now offline.

03:00 PM: The maintenance has started in the background. Players now have 1 hour and 15 minutes left before Destiny 2 goes into downtime.

What you need to know today: A big statement from Bungie is that they want Destiny 2 to have moments you remember from when you played it. Last weekend in Season 22 was such a moment.

  • After a crazy exploit made the rounds, guardians could create various “overweapons” that could obliterate everything in seconds.
  • For some players, it was hell and a complete ruin of the competition, as anyone could now achieve everything and playfully collect the toughest triumphs.
  • Other guardians, on the other hand, had the time of their lives and took it easy. Being able to build a “super weapon” and finally breeze through the game was the coolest thing for them.

The Warlock player and Global Social Media Lead at Bungie Griffin Bennet summed it up perfectly when he said: “When life gives you lemons, make a new lemon that shoots exploding lemons.“

In the meantime, however, most of the exploit is already over, as Bungie’s support team has been working on several solutions and has already partially brought these into the game.

Today’s update will bring further corrections and even some date shifts, as Destiny 2 was still plagued by a stubborn error code hiccup after the changes.

This is how Bungie announced the end of the exploit in the game.

Maintenance on 09/19 – All times for server downtime

While the number of players in Destiny 2 has fluctuated by about 80,000 in recent weeks, they broke the 100,000 mark on September 16 during this crazy weekend. However, this also has an impact on the current gameplay.

These dates have now been postponed: The error caused excitement not only among the players. Everything was turned upside down at Bungie as well, as Game Director via Twitter/X revealed. And they also had to adjust the further course of Season 22 accordingly.

  • Due to ongoing work to fix remaining issues with weapon crafting, update 7.2.0.4, which is supposed to include a change to the drop rates for the essence of the guardian, has been postponed.
  • The start of the Grandmaster raid “Crota’s End” and the new PvP mode “Checkmate” will also be postponed until everything is back to normal.

Bungie has announced an earliest start date for update 7.2.0.4 and the postponed modes for Thursday, September 21, 2023. For today’s downtime, the focus is likely only on fixing the exploit error for now.

These times are important today: Bungie has informed players via Twitter about the exact times of today’s server downtime. The planned downtime is 2 hours and 45 minutes.

Here’s the exact schedule for the maintenance:

  • At 03:00 PM, background maintenance will initially start on all platforms.
  • Around 04:15 PM, the servers will go offline. Players will be automatically kicked from the game.
  • During the downtime, Bungie will take care of the servers and then provide an update for all platforms for download.
  • At 07:00 PM, everything should be back online and you can start playing again.
  • The maintenance will continue in the background until 09:00 PM.
Important: As long as the background maintenance is ongoing, there may be connection issues in the game. Also, after maintenance, there may be queues during login, as Bungie is only gradually granting access to the servers to avoid load problems. So you may have to wait longer today before you are back in the game.

Also, keep in mind that third-party applications as well as the official companion app may also be unavailable for a while, so you cannot use them.

Patch Notes for today’s update in Destiny 2

What’s in the patch notes? Bungie publishes the list of all changes for the update in the form of patch notes. However, these will only go online this evening and then provide a complete overview of all fixed issues and improvements.

Once they are published, we will link them in this article, as something may change later.

Also, Bungie has to fight hard elsewhere, but with legal means:

Twitch streamer finally catches rare Pokémon, only needs 3 years and 236,184 attempts

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

Some Pokémon are extremely hard to find and catch. A streamer wanted to catch a very specific water Pokémon. After 3 years, he finally succeeded and is visibly relieved.

Those who play Pokémon know that some people collect their Pokémon with passion to complete the Pokédex. A streamer has taken it to the next level.

Because Twitch streamer Reversa really wanted to catch a specific Pokémon. However, he chose a particularly nasty candidate. This is also the reason why he has been searching for the creature for years.

Streamer really wants to catch a very specific water Pokémon

What kind of Pokémon is it? The Pokémon Barschwa looks like an oversized fish and is not particularly strong on paper. Besides the less helpful move “Splash”, Barschwa also has “Tackle” and “Wrecking Ball” in its arsenal.

However, the Twitch streamer was determined to catch the Pokémon, specifically in its shiny variant. But there were three problems he faced:

  • For one, Barschwa only appears on Route 2 in Pokémon Sword and is otherwise not findable in the game.
  • On the other hand, according to Pokewiki, its frequency is 1%.
  • Additionally, the Pokémon Barschwa is not visible. This means the Pokémon is not visibly moving across the map, so you can’t ‘farm’ it deliberately—you have to keep fishing for it instead.

The chance that, with a frequency of 1%, the Pokémon is also shiny is extremely low. It’s more likely you’ll encounter dozens of Magikarp or Wailmer, which you don’t even want.

This is what Barschwa looks like. A rather unremarkable Pokémon with relatively weak attacks.

How long did the streamer take? Pokémon: Sword and Shield were released on November 15, 2019. However, Reversa was determined to catch a shiny Barschwa. After 1383 days and a total of 236,183 attempts, he finally caught his Pokémon.

He shared the clip of catching the Pokémon on Twitter. It’s great to see how the streamer completely freaks out when he finally has the right Pokémon in front of him. He jumps off his chair and hops around the stream:

https://twitter.com/REVERSALx7/status/1701562481695736298

Anyone who has searched for a specific creature in the game for a long time will surely understand the streamer’s excitement and relief.

Destiny 2: Weekly Reset on 19.09. – Puts Start of the Grandmaster Raid on Hold

Britta ♤ BeAngel Britta ♤ BeAngel Reading time 5 minutes

The Guardians community in Destiny 2 will face unexpected changes this week during the weekly reset. Bungie, the developer of the online shooter, has been forced to postpone several events in response to an unforeseen exploit.

This week: The Destiny community was already prepared for two new challenges and an update to be introduced into the game this week.

  • The planned weekly reset for today was supposed to mark the start of the Grandmaster difficulty of the “Crota’s End” raid, the new control modifier “Checkmate” in the Crucible Labs, and with update 7.2.0.4, a change in the drop rates for the Souls of the Overmind.

However, due to a critical exploit discovered by clever players, Bungie has been forced to postpone all of this.

Players must now be patient during this cursed Season 22 while Bungie has taken further measures with today’s update to ensure the Grandmaster raid can be conducted fairly and balanced.

Nevertheless, today’s weekly reset will bring refreshed activities and challenges into the world of Destiny 2 to keep players engaged.

Key information about activities from September 19 to 26.

Nightfall

  • Devil’s Lair, in the Cosmodrome
    • There, the Fallen are rampaging again and bringing their megamechs. Load your shotguns, pack your Gjallarhorn, and bring an end to the Fallen God “Sepiks Primus”.
Earn this week’s Nightfall weapon: “The Swarm” – Legendary Machine Gun

Crucible – This is the rotating PvP activity

  • The two modes Rift and Clash are running in PvP this week.
  • The launch of the latest mode “Checkmate” has been postponed due to the weapon exploit.

Bonus of the week

  • Earn extra rank points in the Crucible.

Endgame: Raid Challenges and Dungeon Rotation

Farmable endgame on a weekly rotation: In the further course of the endgame, the Legacy rotations await.

Both the rotating raid, the rotating dungeon, and the exotic rotation missions are farmable. This means you can complete the individual encounters repeatedly to obtain different items and complete your collection, including any exotics available in these contents.

  • The weekly Legacy raid is “Oryx’s Oath” with the weapon exotic “Group Pressure”
  • Additionally, there is extra loot in the free dungeon “Prophecy” but no exotic.
  • The weekly exotic mission is “Vox Obscura” with the exotic wave grenade launcher “Dead Messenger”.

Weekly Activities

Eris Morn has transformed into a Hive Witch and demands more tributes from the Guardians.

Season 22 offers the Guardians new challenges and a card deck that assists them on their missions with buffs and advantages, as long as they unlock everything and assemble their deck appropriately.

  • Altars of Summoning: Bring offerings in the Witch Queen’s otherworldly prison to summon horrific enemies, defeat them, and gain their power.
    • There are three difficulty levels that you can activate. Anyone who activates “Mighty,” the highest difficulty level with three swords, will surely break a sweat.
    • However, upgrading your deck makes it progressively easier.
  • Savathûn’s Pillar: Activate the pillar, defeat its overseers, and gain access to the Altars of Summoning.
    • Void Crystals have a barrier around them, protecting nearby enemies. The barrier must be entered, and the crystal must be destroyed from within.
    • Solar Crystals burn upon pickup and must be transported to a separate part of the arena.
    • Arc Crystals grant a melee charge buff “Crystalline Charge”. Inactive Arc Crystals must be awakened with a “Transference Melee”.

Lightfall – Weekly Campaign Mission

  • “Desperate Measures”
    • The Guardians must go deep underground in Lightfall to reach the “Veil”. They receive support from Caiatl’s troops in an epic battle at the gates of the Ishtar facility.

Ascendant Challenge – Dreaming City

If you still need triumphs from the Dreaming City, then pay attention: Corruption reveals new accesses with a sip of “Queen’s Leaf Tincture”.

  • Petra Venj can now be found in the Dreaming City right at the spawn point – as always during the 2nd curse week. Concurrently, the 6th Ascendant Challenge is active.

All sources for top loot in Season 22 of Destiny 2

activity-weekly-season22-destiny2-
The Guardians’ armors show “growing enthusiasm” in Season 22.

More power level comes automatically: The power level is also capped in Season 22, which means the hard power level cap in Destiny 2 remains unchanged at 1,810. So no player is forced to perform at their best every week, but instead automatically levels the artifact level at all activities.

  • Nevertheless, tough challenges remain even without an increase in power levels. For example, in Grandmaster Raids, Top-tier Nightfalls, Grandmaster Lost Sectors, or Trials of Osiris. Here, a high artifact level is advantageous and necessary.

If you are not yet at the hard cap of 1,810, we have listed the best sources for top loot below.

This top loot brings your power level to 1,810:

  • Top Raid “Crota’s End“ (+2)
  • Top Dungeon “Deep Spirits” (+2)
  • Legacy raid rotation this week: “Oryx’s Oath” (+2) – farmable
  • Legacy dungeon rotation “Prophecy” (+2) – farmable
  • Legacy exotic mission “Vox Obscura” (+2)
  • Earn 200,000 points by completing Nightfalls (+2)
  • “Eternal Trial”: Achieve at least 250,000 points or more (+2)

Diablo 4: Blizzard withdraws controversial change with hotfix, but players still complain: ‘Typical Blizzard’

Fabienne Kissel Fabienne Kissel Reading time 2 minutes

On September 14, a hotfix for Patch 1.1.4 for Diablo 4 was released, promising an EXP gain. However, players see no significant improvement. MeinMMO reveals what is behind it.

The developers continue their efforts to reverse the controversial changes from the unpopular Patch 1.1. Instead of repeating past mistakes, the Diablo team seems to be correcting them step by step.

Start video
Diablo 4 presents new Season 2, coming this fall – Blood & Vampires

Players are still dissatisfied after improvement

What are these changes? Update 1.1.4 brought back an EXP bonus. The hotfix increased the experience gained for killing monsters in World Tiers 3 and 4.

  • World Tier 3: Up by 5%
  • World Tier 4: Up by 15%

The intention behind these changes was to bring players to level 100 faster and to offset the previous downgrades that had caused frustration.

  • Originally, players received 25% more experience points when defeating monsters that were three or more levels above their own level.
  • With the recent changes, this bonus has been reduced to only 15% when the difference was about ten levels.

Despite these adjustments, the new values are still less advantageous than the original experience point bonuses that applied at the time of the game’s launch.

How are players reacting? Many players would apparently have preferred that these mistakes were avoided from the start. In a Reddit post, they write:

  • A player named SQRTLURFACE says: Typical Blizzard. Reducing the XP and then giving XP back. In the end, they call it a hotfix/patch.
  • Searchlights laments: There’s still nothing to do.
  • PaoLakers sees the XP reduction critically: By reducing experience points, the game was effectively killed. Instead of having fun leveling multiple characters to 100, we had to max out one character, which burned out the fun.
  • LurkerDude0 hopes for more changes: I’m waiting for a lot more than just an XP buff to play again.

Players are undoubtedly upset about the current developments in Diablo 4 and hope for further improvements in the game. It remains to be seen how the developers will respond to this feedback.

Are there still aspects in the current patch that you think are missing or need urgent revision? What do you think about the XP changes?

After leveling, there are also other issues that Blizzard needs to address in the near future, according to the players:

The smallest camera sensor in the world that you can buy is only as big as a grain of salt

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

Hardware can come in different sizes. The probably smallest camera in the world is not much larger than a grain of salt. In the area where it is usually used, there is also not much space available.

There is indeed small hardware that is urgently needed for various purposes. However, a particularly small device is not larger than a grain of salt: The smallest camera in the world comes from the manufacturer Omnivision and has even made it into the Guinness Book of Records.

Start video
Check out the brilliant Collector’s Edition of the NVIDIA TITAN Xp in Star Wars style in the video

The smallest camera in the world can mainly be used in the medical field

How big is the camera anyway? The camera has a size of 0.575 mm x 0.575 mm x 0.232 mm. That is smaller than a fingernail and rather about the size of a coarse grain of salt.

What can this thing do? The small sensor can mainly be mounted on various medical instruments. For example, disposable guidewires, endoscopes, and catheters. Therefore, the device is particularly suitable for the medical field (via ovt.com).

The OV6948 has an optical format of 1/36 inch and a field of view that can record videos with a resolution of 200 x 200 pixels at up to 30 frames per second (fps). That sounds initially very little, but one should also keep in mind that the sensor is incredibly tiny. Additionally, you also need the corresponding hardware that knows how to handle the sensor.

What does such a device cost? According to the website Arrow, a module costs around 50 euros. However, the problem is that you cannot order just one part, but must order at least 192 pieces. Then the costs are rather in the 4-digit range.

There is more very small hardware. However, this is not used in hospitals, but the devices are very popular in prisons:

EA Sports FC 24 presents 8 new icons – Fans demand higher rating for Ribery

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 3 minutes

EA has just introduced the 8 new icon cards for the FIFA successor EA Sports FC 24. We will show you which legends have made it into the game.

What are icons in EA Sports FC 24? The “icons” cards are special cards for legends of the past. Not only do they come with very good values, but they also have the advantage of bringing strong chemistry links back to your teams in Ultimate Team.

In FIFA 23, the chemistry system was extensively criticized and has now been adjusted again in FC 24.

What is new with the icons in FC 24: Unlike in previous years, it seems that there will no longer be 3 different icon versions. The concept of Baby, Mid, and Prime Icon seems to be over.

However, it seems plausible that new special versions of the icons will appear over the course of the year, as EA released numerous special versions of various icon cards in FIFA 23.

For the upcoming release of EA Sports FC 24, 8 new icons along with their ratings have now been presented.

The 8 new icons for EA Sports FC 24

These are the new icons for FC 24: The new icon cards are led by the American Mia Hamm (93), who offers a very strong card. The two-time world champion has a 93 rating and extremely strong stats, which will likely lead to a high price on the transfer market.

Additionally, the English legend Sir Bobby Charlton (92) has finally made it to FC 24. His new card offers plenty of speed, strong shooting values, and high dribbling.

From a German perspective, exciting is Birgit Prinz (92), who now has an icon card in Ultimate Team. The world footballer has a card that shines with high physics and overall strong values. Only the pace value could be slightly better.

However, the Brazilian attacker Zico (91) also looks very strong at first glance. He is fast, has very strong shooting values, and can convince with high passing and dribbling stats. It will be exciting to see how well he performs in-game.

You can see all the new icon cards in EA Sports FC 24 here:

  • ST: Hamm (93)
  • ZOM: Charlton (92)
  • ST: Prinz (92)
  • ZOM: Zico (91)
  • ZM: Sawa (91)
  • ZM: Abily (90)
  • ST: Smith (89)
  • LM: Ribery (88)

Fans complain about the new icon card from Franck Ribéry

Many have eagerly awaited it, and in the FIFA successor FC 24 it has actually arrived: The Bayern legend Franck Ribery officially returns as an icon. However, his rating is lower than many had expected. His overall rating is only 88, making it the lowest rating of the new legends.

What the fans say on Reddit can be seen here:

  • GIge-: ‘Ribery 88 is a crime.’
  • EnvironmentMany5448: ‘Ribéry with an 88 rating is scandalous… he will certainly be a beast, but what the hell is that rating?’
  • Lukedutchh: ‘Ribery should be stronger than that.’
  • Animeforever24: ‘Ribery should have at least a 91.’

However, when looking at Ribery’s stats in detail, the values are not that bad. Despite an 88 rating, Ribery could become a very strong winger, especially due to his skills, speed, and dribbling stats.

All icons in EA Sports FC 24

In addition to the 8 new legends that were presented today, numerous icons from FIFA 23 are also returning. It will be exciting to see which versions are now in the game and what has changed in their stats.

We have created an overview for you here:

Blind player defeats the hardest boss of Diablo 4: “I moved on autopilot”

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

A blind player defeats the hardest boss of Diablo 4 and claims he achieved this through a lot of practice.

Which boss are we talking about? Diablo 4 is one of the games where you grind for hours, upgrade your gear, optimize your build, and then dive into the next challenge. A particularly tough challenge awaits players at the very end of the game – Uber Lilith.

The Daughter of Hatred makes one last appearance and throws everything she has at you. To successfully come out of the fight, you need an optimal balance of offense and defense, a good build, and an understanding of the boss fight mechanics.

Now a blind player has achieved the unthinkable and successfully defeated Uber Lilith.

Start video
Diablo 4 presents new Season 2, coming this fall – Blood & Vampires

Which player is it? The YouTube user “Tylenphye” has published a video in which he defeats Uber Lilith solo at level 97. Tylenphye notes that he is blind, completely without functional eyesight.

However, Tylenphye is not a famous YouTuber or anything similar; his channel has 16 subscribers and the video has almost 1,400 views after nine days.

Moreover, in the 2.5-minute video, there is only footage of him defeating the boss with his Necromancer – accompanied by the player’s screen reader, which provides him with information such as damage dealt and his own health points.

You can watch Tylenphye’s video here:

Link to the YouTube content

In the comments under the video, a user asked whether he cannot see at all or if he can recognize colors or outlines.

Tylenphye explained that he can perceive light and can, for example, tell whether the sun is shining or not. However, when gaming, he relies completely on audio cues and – if available – accessibility settings.

How did he achieve this? As Tylenphye reveals in the comments under his video, he was only able to accomplish the run through a lot of practice.

A second player acted as a “visual translator” for several hours, describing to him what happens on the screen and when:

We worked on learning the mechanics and movements (including timing and distance in movement) to link them with the screen reader and audio cues in the game. The rest was timing for the mechanics in general.

Tylenphye via YouTube

Overall, the two are said to have learned together in three sessions, each lasting “more than 6 hours”. Additionally, Tylenphye practiced another 30 hours separately.

Ultimately, he was able to complete the run mostly without assistance: “I moved on autopilot for most of the run, with a little input when my memory failed.”

In conclusion, Tylenphye states that he has managed to defeat Uber Lilith seven times since the video’s release and has accompanied another blind person without a “visual translator”.

“Mad love for detail” – Developers of Spider-Man 2 make PS5 players very happy with a little thing

Lydia Lydia Reading time 2 minutes

The upcoming PS5-exclusive Spider-Man 2 lets you swing through New York City as Miles Morales and Peter Parker, fighting crime together. With a little something, the developers have now made players very happy.

What kind of game will this be? Spider-Man 2 will be the successor to the 2018 released open-world adventure and will be released on October 20, 2023, exclusively for PlayStation 5. You can already find a detailed preview at GamePro.

Unlike its predecessor, which allowed players to take on the role of Peter Parker, this time there will be two Spider-Men: Our hero is joined by his colleague Miles Morales. With a simple button press on the PS5 DualSense, you can switch between the two.

To ensure this works for a long time, we have 6 tips for you, that will help the PS5 controller’s battery last longer.

What did the developers reveal? As James Ham, Associate Animation Director at Insomniac, revealed in an interview with Danny Peña (via TCMF2), the other Spider-Man will not simply disappear from the game world when the player switches.

‘There will be moments when you swing through the city and see the other Spider-Man actively doing something or preventing a crime,’ says Ham. The NPC Spider-Man is not just mere decoration: When you encounter him in a battle, you should have the option to ally with him.

Conversely, the other Spider-Man should also be able to assist you in combat when he encounters you.

  • GaryTheCabalGuy: “It would have been so easy for them not to add that, and for totally justified reasons. Just an insane attention to detail. I love it.”
  • Atroxo: “That’s such a cool addition that I didn’t even know I wanted.”

Some players are already spinning the thread further and hope that you can swing against the inactive Spider-Man.

A gamer discovered a completely dirty RTX 3090 at a retailer that only cost around 200 euros. A friend fears that he is buying trash for a lot of money there. But he is mistaken.

Our title image is a symbolic image and shows an RTX 3080 Ti, which ranks below the RTX 3090.

Buying a fast graphics card for very little money is probably a dream for many gamers. But sometimes behind very cheap offers on Amazon are nasty scammers who just want your money.

In other cases, miners sell thousands of graphics cards at very low prices, but here too, one can be unlucky and buy a graphics card that has been severely damaged by mining.

A gamer has now had great luck. Because he bought an RTX 3090 for under 200 euros. And the GPU actually works without any problems.

Community fears fraud behind cheap graphics card

The user reports on reddit that a friend of his purchased a completely dirty RTX 3090 in a store. Even at the price, he would have been warned, because around 200 euros is far too little for an RTX 3090. After all, the RTX 3090 is still one of the fastest graphics cards you can buy for your gaming PC.

Another user also explains that behind such cheap offers often hide scams or simply broken graphics cards, and only in the fine print does it indicate that the GPU may not work properly:

Often, these eBay sales of high-end graphics processors come with a lot of fine print, such as “untested, does not boot, fans spin but no power, causes BSOD on PC” and much more.

If you clean the device and it works, then you’ve hit the eBay jackpot; if not, your friend’s $207 gamble has turned into a $0 payout.

RTX 3090 works after thorough cleaning

Does the graphics card work? He himself explained in another post that the friend thoroughly cleaned the graphics card and applied new thermal paste. And surprisingly, the GPU runs smoothly:

“It works. A friend used a bunch of baby wipes and applied new thermal paste. Temperatures are in the middle 70° range.” Another gamer ruined his graphics card because he left his gaming PC alone for 30 minutes.

How do I find out if my GPU is defective? In principle, there are a number of indicators you can use to find out whether your graphics card is defective or damaged. These include frequent crashes of your system or strange noises that the graphics card makes.

In any case, you should not panic and first check your gaming PC. In many cases, it is sufficient to install new graphics card software or simply clean your PC thoroughly. Not every blue screen or crash means that a graphics card is defective.

From the graphics card to the job: Another gamer was also very lucky. Because the player wanted to buy a new graphics card for his gaming PC. Instead, the seller offered him a job. You can read the whole story directly on MeinMMO:

EA Sports FC 24 Squad Builder: Plan your team now

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

The release of EA Sports FC 24 is approaching. If you want to plan your team now, use a Squad Builder.

What are Squad Builders for EA Sports FC 24? Various portals on the internet offer such Squad Builders. They give you the opportunity to plan teams and experiment with which players could fit together in Ultimate Team – even before the release of EA FC 23.

Since the ratings for EA Sports FC 24 are now known, there is now also a comprehensive database on these sites that enable Squad Builders.

If you want to try them out, you can find good Squad Builders here, for example:

How Squad Builders for EA Sports FC 24 work

EA Sports FC 24 Squad Builder furtbin
This is what a team looks like in the Squad Builder (via futbin)

You should note: Squad Builders are purely planning tools that work outside of the game. They do not provide you with cards for the actual Ultimate Team mode.

Instead, they give you the opportunity to assemble a dream team, experiment with different chemistry connections, and see which cards might fit together.

This becomes particularly useful when the game is released, as it will usually show you directly how much your team is worth on the transfer market. This is ideal if you want to build strong teams for the start in FUT. You can also directly see which players can play in which positions.

Start video
EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Team Deep Dive Trailer

Also helpful: The suggestion feature. For example, with FUTBIN, you can get card suggestions that match your currently selected cards via a small light bulb.

This can be regarding chemistry, but you can also filter by rating or individual stats such as pace or shooting.

If you experiment, you can quickly try out your first team compositions. Through the suggestion feature, you can also try to find some cheap and surprising players that might be available for little coins on the transfer market.

In general, Squad Builders, as well as other data from sites like FUTBIN and FUTWIZ, help you plan your team and find out how much players are worth and whether buying or selling is worthwhile after the release. Keep this in mind.

Once you have checked the data, you only need to go to the web app to reshape your team or make transfers there. For managing your Ultimate Team, you don’t even need to go to the console, once you have joined the mode for the first time.

What bonuses are there? During the Psychic Spectacle, you will receive more experience when catching Pokémon with curveball throws. However, the exact amount of experience you gain has not yet been disclosed by the developer Niantic.

Nonetheless, it is certain that catching during this period should be more rewarding if you swing your ball beforehand. The event had a similar focus on curveballs last year too.

LoL developer explains why nasty players are not permanently banned immediately

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

The biggest problem in League of Legends are the teammates. Besides individual mistakes and sometimes a lack of skill, intentional trolls are particularly problematic. Many demand a permanent ban for these players. A developer explains why it is not that simple.

What is the deal with feeders and trolls? In LoL, players can easily ruin the match for their teammates:

  • On one hand, you can continually die, giving the opponent extra gold and a lot of freedom on their lane. This is also called feeding.
  • Another option is to generally “troll”. This involves sabotaging your own team, for example, through foolish decisions, not participating in team fights, or simply leaving your lane to steal creeps from your jungler.

Both are obviously detrimental to the gaming experience of other players. This is why fair players particularly demand consistent and especially swift action from the developer Riot Games. However, speed is not as easy as developer HuntedFork confirms on Reddit.

“Feeding is a reason for a permanent ban”

What does the developer say? In a comment, the user SnowyyRaven wrote: “The problem is not the severity, but the detection of it. It is complicated to write a system that recognizes this behavior without banning innocent players.“

The Riot employee commented on this statement with a “Exactly that” and added: “But for the record, feeding is a reason for a permanent ban“ (via Reddit).

Is Riot doing nothing? It can’t be said like that. There are indeed occasional bans, but there are still many trolls who somehow slip under the radar. This includes YouTubers who intentionally lose matches for their viewers’ entertainment.

Additionally, Riot Games regularly tries to make the community more positive, such as through bans in ranked matches when people behave negatively, or changes to the chat system. In fact, it feels like the situation has improved a bit in recent years compared to 2018/19.

What do you think about trolls and feeders in LoL? Do they bother you so much that you would like to give them a permanent ban?

Sometimes as a player, you also get the feeling that one role is simply stronger than the others. And this feeling is not always wrong, as a game designer confirmed:

„Take better care of your body“ – Twitch streamer has been sick for 2 months, asks Twitter for help

Sarah Sarah Reading time 2 minutes

Twitch streamer HoneyPuu asked for help on Twitter regarding breathing problems, to which her community provided supportive advice. Fellow streamer Reved tried to encourage her to see a doctor.

Who is HoneyPuu?

  • At just 23 years old, Isabell “HoneyPuu” Schneider, also known as “Isa”, has already established a strong presence in the streaming world (via Twitch).
  • As one of the most prominent German Twitch streamers, she has even surpassed the viewer numbers of renowned streamers like Amouranth at times.
  • Her warm and open nature, coupled with popular “Just Chatting” sessions and various gaming formats, has earned her a loyal fanbase.

You can learn more about HoneyPuu here:

If you have health problems, please consult your trusted doctor. Extensive health tips can be found at the Federal Ministry of Health (via bundesgesundheitsministerium.de) or in a conversation with your personal family doctor.

What did she post on Twitter? HoneyPuu enjoys sharing her everyday life with her community, revealing both funny and mundane experiences. In her Twitter posts, she recounts quirky experiences, like nighttime conversations in her sleep, unexpected spider visits in her room, or suffering from up to 20 mosquito bites at once.

However, recently, HoneyPuu has not been feeling well, prompting her to reach out to her Twitter community again on September 16.

What was the post about? In an honest Twitter post, HoneyPuu confessed that she has been experiencing issues since stopping her nasal spray and doesn’t know how to cope with it. She wrote: ‘Just withdrawal symptoms from the nasal spray, I can’t take it anymore.’

This open move received both support and inappropriate comments from her Twitter community. Some tried to offer her helpful advice on how to reduce the dosage or only spray in one nostril. Others, however, mocked the situation, like one user who wrote: ‘It helps if you paint your toenails white and show us a picture of it.’

What happened next? Shortly thereafter, HoneyPuu posted again on Twitter, sharing that she is struggling with severe breathing problems and is unsure whether to use nasal spray again, though at longer intervals.

This news worried many of her fans, who again tried to offer her advice or encourage her. The friendly streamer Reved also chimed in.

How did Reved respond? Reved initially advised HoneyPuu to see a doctor. She added: ‘You’ve already been sick for 2 months, take care of your body a bit.’

Reved herself is currently on a streaming break to visit various doctors to treat her persistent headaches. She has also previously commented on postponing health issues for too long.

In the comments, fans of HoneyPuu are advising the streamer to rinse her nose with salt water, inhale steam, or urgently consult a doctor.

German Twitch streamer breaks 900,000 followers, proudly calls his dad, but he immediately demands the million

Sarah Sarah Reading time 2 minutes

In a livestream on Twitch, streamer xRohat recently reached a milestone he had long been waiting for. Many viewers eagerly watched as Rohat broke the threshold of 900,000 followers on Twitch. But the highlight of the evening came when he called for his father – a reaction that even surprised Rohat.

Who is xRohat? Rohat is a 20-year-old young streamer who has been active on Twitch since December 2019. He is known mainly for his roleplaying in GTA 5, where he portrayed the character “Big Sosa” and built a loyal fanbase.

Over time, he established himself as one of the leading content creators in the German streaming scene. Recently, he came into the public eye due to his breakup with the well-known streamer xFibii.

You can find a trailer for GTA Online here:

What happened in one of his latest streams? In one of his latest streams, Rohat finally reached the impressive mark of 900,000 followers on Twitch. When the number was reached, he happily called for his mother.

When no answer came, he raised his voice and called for his father. After a brief disappearance from the screen, Rohat returned – alone. He called again for his father, who finally appeared.

His words that followed were a heartwarming mix of pride and surprise as he told his father that he had cracked the 900,000 followers on Twitch. But his father’s reaction was unexpected as he simply replied that he already knew about it.

Rohat asked in astonishment how he could know that already. His father calmly replied that he should now reach the 1-million mark. Rohat then jokingly said: “So I have to achieve 1 million followers this year? Don’t you want to say ‘Thank you’ or something? Or maybe ‘Well done, my son’?” The father finally replied: “Yes, well done.”

What does MontanaBlack have to do with this? Rohat has often been accused in the past of achieving his success solely due to his connection with the well-known streamer MontanaBlack.

Even under a TikTok video celebrating his success, comments emerged urging him to thank MontanaBlack. However, Rohat’s loyal community defended him and humorously reacted to the accusations by noting: “Yeah man, every follower comes from Monte.”

Rohat has undoubtedly built an impressive fanbase with his Twitch channel and will certainly continue to win the hearts of his viewers as he approaches his next goal of reaching the 1 million followers mark.

Lies of P is already like the acclaimed Bloodborne on Steam, but developers are bringing a secret change

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

Denuvo boasted for a long time of being practically unbreakable and indeed it was considered one of the safest systems for copy protection. However, a particularly annoyed hacker was not impressed:

Hacker breaks one of the safest systems in the world, spreads hate messages in Hogwarts Legacy

Lies of P has been available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC since September 18 (Steam, Game Pass). After strong reviews from the press, however, the developers added the controversial copy protection Denuvo shortly before release. The program is hated among gamers.

What kind of game is this?

  • In Lies of P, you play as a puppet of the famous inventor Gepetto codenamed “P” – obviously, this is Pinocchio.
  • In the city of Krat, puppets were supposed to serve humans, but now they are running amok and have slaughtered almost the entire population. You need to ensure that the city doesn’t completely go under and must lie, something that puppets are typically neither allowed nor able to do.
  • In doing so, you fight bosses and enemies in classic Souls style with various weapons and can level up to create your own builds.

Here’s how Lies of P is performing: On Steam, the game currently has a rating of 91% and is considered “very positive” (as of September 19). The reviews from the press on Metacritic are also impressive:

  • 81 for the PS5 version
  • 82 for the PC version
  • 84 for the Xbox version

The colleagues from GameStar gave Lies of P an 82 in their review. Great praise was given for the intense boss fights, the parade system, and the beautiful game world. Deductions were made for the story and some frustrating parts.

GamePro even awards 83 points and praises the game design with various weapons as well as the extensive content with different playstyles, campaign, and New Game+. Criticism is directed at the steep learning curve, somewhat repetitive visual content, and the lack of coop.

In the community, it is often said that Lies of P is the Soulslike that comes closest to Bloodborne on PC. The dark, Victorian setting of Bloodborne distinguishes this entry from all other Soulsborne games, and Lies of P seems to capture this theme well.

Watch the trailer for Lies of P here:

Developers add Denuvo 3 days before release

As the tracking site SteamDB details, Denuvo was added as copy protection to Lies of P at least in the Steam version on September 15. This change was not communicated in advance by the developers and came after the embargo for reviews was lifted.

Denuvo theoretically ensures that games cannot be pirated. In practice, however, it often leads to problems. GameStar, for example, has already shown that the program itself can throttle even powerful systems.

In general, Denuvo ensures that many users experience games and even entire systems running less smoothly. Consequently, gamers are quite upset when the program is used, as earlier reports have shown:

Why exactly Developer NEOWIZ decided to use Denuvo and did not communicate it beforehand has not yet been revealed. MeinMMO has inquired, and a response is still pending.

Denuvo boasted for a long time of being practically unbreakable and indeed it was considered one of the safest systems for copy protection. However, a particularly annoyed hacker was not impressed:

The PlayStation 5 is currently not running Baldur’s Gate 3 as expected, but there are already solutions for annoying crash issues.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a comprehensive game that occasionally struggles with issues. Some players complain that the game crashes or doesn’t load properly on the PS5. For instance, players encounter the error code CE-108255-1 when trying to load a save file.

This is what the solution looks like:

  • To be able to play the game again without error messages, the developers say you only need to do one thing: disconnect the PS5 from the internet and play in offline mode. Crashes should then be a thing of the past.

Even if the game crashes constantly or doesn’t load properly, you don’t need to worry. Your progress is not lost. The problem seems to be related to the connection to the PlayStation Network.

Players who want to continue their campaign online with friends will have to wait for this temporary solution and wait for the final update. Larian Studios announced that they are already working on it.

Martin Vollert Martin Vollert Reading time 2 minutes

On YouTube, a DIY enthusiast showcases the prototype of his gaming handheld. All the components used can be easily replaced. Soon, you will also be able to assemble the pocket gaming PC yourself.

Since the release of the Steam Deck, more and more developers are competing with their own handhelds for the favor of gamers. They are trying to outdo each other with increasingly powerful hardware and special features.

Steam Deck: Here are the 6 most exciting alternatives 2023

What makes this handheld so unique? A DIY enthusiast has now developed a prototype that can be completely upgraded. This device could secure its place in consumer electronics with this unique feature. The creator is also planning DIY kits for anyone who wants to assemble a mobile gaming PC themselves.

What kind of system is the tinkerer presenting? An individual developer known on YouTube as Pitstoptech has shown the prototype of his developed handheld in a video. He likely designed the case himself and created it with a 3D printer.

The hardware inside comes, among other things, from the manufacturer Framework, known for its modular laptops. This means quick and easy replacement of individual parts in case of defects or if a component needs to be upgraded.

 The key details at a glance:

  • 16 GB RAM
  • 512 GB SSD
  • 7-inch Full HD touchscreen, resolution 192×1080
  • 61 Wh battery

What additional features does the prototype offer? In the short video, the inventor briefly goes over some of the specifications. For example, it is possible to insert the two Bluetooth controllers on the left and right into the case of the handheld. It is also possible to swap them with other models from the manufacturer used.

How strong is the installed battery? He also mentions two built-in stereo speakers and the ability to replace the battery. The battery in the Steam Deck has a capacity of only 40 Wh compared to this. Windows 11 is used as the operating system.

Additionally, “Pitstoptech” wants to offer kits of his prototype. This would give interested users complete control over their future pocket-sized gaming PC.

The only thing that could be a problem for his innovative idea is the price. A single motherboard from Framework already costs almost as much as fully functional devices, like the ‘ROG Ally’ from Asus.

Other users also have creative solutions, for example, to reduce the amount of disposable electronics: User buys hardware that is no longer needed, makes fancy wall decor out of it

In Starfield there is a legendary planet from Halo and you can even live there

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

In Starfield there are many different places to discover and explore. Now players have found a planet that may seem familiar to Halo fans.

Which planet is it about? In Starfield, you can find the planet “Reach”, but under a different name.

  • Reach is the setting of the 2010 released Halo: Reach, in which you fight as Spartan “Noble 6” against the Covenant.
  • Reach was in the history of Halo the largest colony and was inhabited by 700 million people.
  • In Halo, humans began to colonize distant planets in the 26th century, but since Starfield is set in the 24th century, Reach is still uninhabited in Bethesda’s RPG.

Reach has a different name in Starfield

Where is Reach in Starfield? In Halo, Reach is considered the second planet of the “Epsilon Eridani System”. You can also find and visit the Eridani system in Starfield. There you will find a planet called “Eridani 2”, which is the second planet of the system.

Eridani 2 is accordingly the same planet as Reach – just with a different name.

To find the system on the star map, you need to go down and to the left from our solar system (Sol) or the neighboring and colonized “Alpha Centauri” system in the game.

Eridani is, just like Reach in Halo, a planet with moderate flora and fauna. Additionally, the water is clean and you can even breathe the planet’s air – perfect for establishing a colony with 700 million people there.

However, if you don’t want to populate the entire planet, Eridani 2 is at least suitable for building an outpost. In addition to breathable air and clean water, there are also some useful resources like iron, nickel, copper, and gold.
