Destiny 2: Weekly Reset on 20.06. – Time to break out again

Britta ♤ BeAngel Britta ♤ BeAngel Reading time 5 minutes

In Destiny 2 today, on June 20, the weekly Weekly Reset brings you the Iron Banner. Additionally, this week there will be another Nightfall strike as well as weekly activities and triumphs. MeinMMO tells you what new tasks await.

This week: As a small forecast, we predict a temporary increase in activity in Gambit, as a mod is currently too good and will turn some Guardians into a nasty particle vacuum.

Otherwise, the Iron Lord Saladin will visit you again this week in the Tower – for the second time this Season of Depth.

  • For one week, Guardians can compete against each other under his watchful eyes in the Iron Banner, a one-week PvP event, in the “Outbreak” mode.
  • Here, not only can additional Powerful rewards be earned, but also thematically inspired weapons, armor, and emblems, such as the new and stylish Iron Banner emblem or the Iron Banner fusion rifle Density Precision.

However, whether the highly anticipated exotic quest will finally drop this week remains uncertain. Guardians want to wait no longer, but Bungie remains tight-lipped. Instead, they have at least revealed that next Season 22 will see the most complex catalyst for an exotic weapon that Bungie has ever conceived.

But for now, let’s focus on this week and tell you what’s going on.

Vanguard: Nightfall – The Fire Trial

  • Fallen S.A.B.E.R., in the Cosmodrome
    • You must again prevent the devils from gaining control over Rasputin’s war satellites this week. If that happens, artillery from the Golden Age would be aimed at the Tower and the Last City within minutes.
This week earn the Nightfall weapon: The fusion rifle “Fang’s Question” (Master)

Crucible – This is the rotating PvP activity

  • The two modes Rift and and Hexadome are active this week in PvP.

Endgame: Raid Challenges and Dungeon Rotation

Farmable Endgame in weekly rotation: In the further Endgame, the Legacy rotations await. This means that both the rotation raid and the rotation dungeon are farmable. You can complete the individual encounters repeatedly to receive various items and complete your collection. Including possible exotics that are available in these contents.

  • The weekly legacy raid is the “Oath of the Student” with the exotic “Group Pressure”.
  • In addition, the dungeon “Prophecy” offers extra top loot, but without exotic, as this dungeon was once a little gift from Bungie and is free for everyone.

Bungie will further expand these activity rotations of content in Season 22. Then players will not only be able to play Raids and Dungeons as “Legacy” but also old exotic missions. Destiny 2 is thus gradually bringing back more old content that was once removed from the game.

Weekly Activities

With the weekly reset, several activities and challenges have been updated again, offering players numerous rewards and progress, making better Guardians through repetition.

  • In the new Season 21, Guardians must dive to the ocean floor of Titan, which is infested by the Taken and the Hive. They are searching for something on the bottom of its methane ocean. This promises to solve ancient secrets and provide more information about the origins of the Witness.

Lightfall – Weekly Campaign Mission

  • “Downfall”
    • Secure the Radial Mast before Calus and his troops “the Veil” reach.

Ascendant Challenge – Dreaming City

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

  • Petra Venj is at the top of the Pavilion in the area “The Shore” in the Dreaming City. The Curse Cycle is resetting and Curse Week 1 is active. The 5th Ascendant Challenge is also active.

Twitch bans 2 German streamers – Many are happy about it, but a lawyer explains whether it is even legal

Currently, both accounts are still banned, with Scurrows mathematically due to return tomorrow, June 21, followed by OrangeMorange on June 22.

Twitch bans VTuber and she doesn’t know why: “Losing everything overnight is scary”

Twitch has banned the controversial streamers Theo “Scurrows” Bottländer and Kevin “OrangeMorange” Bongers – “finally,” some cheer on social media. Lawyer Christian Solmecke discusses whether the platform can simply do that.

What bans are being referred to? Streamers Theo “Scurrows” Bottländer and Kevin “OrangeMorange” were banned from Twitch for 14 days at the beginning of June. Scurrows announced his ban on June 7 via Twitter, while the ban of OrangeMorange was posted the next day by the automated account StreamerBans.

Both announced they would involve lawyers and want to return to Twitch soon. Scurrows had already sued to return to the streaming platform in 2021, three years after his supposedly permanent ban.

German Twitch scene celebrates bans

Why were they banned? Twitch did not publicly disclose the reasons for the ban as usual. Some people might not have asked “why,” but rather: “Why now?” After all, a ban on the “gamescom ruffians” was already demanded in 2022.

Accordingly, many were delighted when Twitch actually finally swung the ban hammer. In the comments on Twitter, many praised the streaming platform or expressed their thanks. Some content creators even themed their own streams around the bans:

Why are so many happy about the bans? Scurrows and OrangeMorange had already been criticized for their casino content for a long time. After they had significantly lost viewers due to the new gambling regulations of Twitch, they apparently changed their strategy:

Remarks on trans people as a reason for the ban?

Scurrows himself claims he was banned for discussing the controversial documentary “What Is a Woman?” by politically right-wing commentator Matt Walsh. However, it is suspected that the ban might be more related to the tweets that the streamer posted afterward.

He stated that he had been able to convince a supposed trans woman to be a man and recommended her psychological care from a foreign doctor, as it would only be brainwashing in Germany.

Although Scurrows has since deleted the tweets, he claims he still stands by them. They were only misunderstood in the context of the documentary.

OrangeMorange, on the other hand, shared a screenshot indicating that the underlying violation supposedly occurred in February – right in the middle of the controversy surrounding Hogwarts Legacy, a game set in the Harry Potter universe.

Both streamers participated in the debate and publicly expressed their support for the author of Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling. The author is accused by critics of having, among other things, transphobic views.

Lawyer finds bans justified

Are the bans legal? Lawyer Christian Solmecke examines this question in his latest video on YouTube. We have summarized the key statements for you:

Does Twitch have house rights? Twitch reserves the right to refuse users service without notice and at its own discretion, meaning they can be banned. Particularly the part that Twitch can impose a ban for any reason is seen as questionable by Solmecke. In his estimation, this goes too far.

However, a ban for violating community guidelines is certainly justified, according to the lawyer. Solmecke suspects that Scurrows and OrangeMorange might have violated guidelines on hateful behavior with their statements regarding trans people.

However, Twitch, according to the lawyer, does not have comprehensive house rights, unlike a supermarket, and must uphold the fundamental right to freedom of expression applicable in Germany. Therefore, the rights of the streamers and the personal rights of the attacked group must be weighed.

Here, Solmecke sees a failure by Twitch: Since the streaming platform did not specify a precise reason for the bans, it is unclear whether the particular remark or action is protected by freedom of expression.

Currently, both accounts are still banned, with Scurrows mathematically due to return tomorrow, June 21, followed by OrangeMorange on June 22.

Diablo 4: The worst defensive values are supposed to become significantly more important – Blizzard even announces a date for rebuilding the build

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 2 minutes

Elemental resistances are much too weak in Diablo 4 and stand no chance against the other armor values. That should change, just like your builds.

Why are the values so poor? Simply put: Resistances to elements have bad multipliers in Diablo 4. No matter whether:

  • Resistance to all damage types
  • Resistance to cold/fire/poison/lightning/shadow

The values do not scale well, which is why it’s better to focus on other defensive values:

  • Damage reduction
  • Armor
  • More health

You can find the details on the topic here:

More on the topic
Strong Armor in Diablo 4: 2 Values Matter and One You Should Avoid
von Maik Schneider

Why should there be a change? The issue is that the values are actually quite important, the further you progress into the endgame of Diablo 4.

Continuously, opponents throw elemental attacks at you, preferably with ground effects, which a dedicated necromancer might also cover up. The poor resistances lead to frustrating one-shot kills. Especially the damage classes suffer from the strong hits.

The good thing about it is: Currently, you don’t need to worry about elemental resistances. Whether you have 80% poison resistance or only the 30/40% from the amulet – it hardly makes a difference.

But that won’t last, as Blizzard confirmed during the “Campfire Talk” on June 16 (via youtube.com).

What will change and when? The changes are set to come into play with Season 2. It will likely take until at least October 2023 for the resistances to be adjusted. Here you can first find the info about Season 1.

What exactly the developers want to change remains open for now. What is clear, however, is that many players are currently building their builds without resistances, as they are considered weak. Once the adjustments come, the fun of building and collecting items will start all over again.

Provided our current main characters are still relevant by then.

Basements are actually much more helpful for looting than you might think:

What else was discussed during the Campfire Talk? The stream revealed many exciting pieces of information, and we created several articles about it on MeinMMO:

The release is supposed to be just the beginning of the journey, and even now the developers are talking about changes that will not be implemented for several months. Even two expansions are already in the works, and all seasons are expected to be larger than what Diablo 3 offered in its seasons.

Pokémon GO: Trainer shows how to find the night spawns without problems

Franzi Korittke Franzi Korittke Reading time 3 minutes

In Pokémon GO, many players are currently reporting issues finding the night spawns. Now, a trainer provides an important tip on how to still catch the corresponding monsters. We at MeinMMO show you what you can do.

Which spawns are we talking about? Currently, the Tag and Nacht event is taking place in Pokémon GO, during which you can encounter both day- and night-active monsters. They are supposed to alternate depending on the time of day. However, the night Pokémon are currently causing headaches for many players. A trainer has now explained how he was able to find the monsters. We have summarized it for you below.

Trainer finds night spawns after sunrise

What is the problem with the night spawns? While day spawns, such as Sonnfel or Ledyba, can be easily caught during the day in Pokémon GO, the night spawns pose difficulties for trainers. They literally appear in the middle of the night, requiring trainers to stay up late.

Especially due to the current collector challenge, for which some of the night spawns need to be caught, there is criticism from the community. In contrast to the special research Sternenhimmel, which is also active during the event and has no time limit, the collector challenge must be completed before the event ends to secure the rewards.

A trainer gives an important tip: If you don’t want to spend your nights chasing the night Pokémon, you can also easily catch them at another time, as Reddit user Froggo14 reveals in his post. He explains that he was able to find them early in the morning.

He writes (via reddit.com): For anyone still needing the night spawns, you should consider taking a walk early in the morning. I am in Portugal, where sunrise is at 06:15. I went for a walk around 08:15 and got a mix of night and day spawns. I managed to catch Toxiped and Paragoni, which were the last two I needed.

What does this mean for trainers in Germany? In recent days, players on social media have noted that the night spawns can still be found about 2 hours after sunrise. Some even had a longer chance to catch them.

Depending on where you live in Germany, the sun currently rises between 04:30 and 05:30. After that, you have approximately 2 more hours to search for them.

What do other trainers say about this tip?

Trainers confirm the tip: Other trainers can also confirm this tip. They have been out in the early morning hours themselves and were able to find the night Pokémon they still needed for the collector challenge Wie Tag und Nacht. You can read the following in the comments (via reddit.com):

  • Xavourss: I did this this morning in France on my way to work from 7:45 to 8:30. I played in the metro, on the way from the station to work, and a bit at my desk, collecting everything I needed for the collector challenge. I also caught a few Myrapla with a moss lure module (to evolve an Evoli) during full daylight.
  • bowserm: I noticed this morning that I had night spawns on my way to work. Until about 8:20 this morning.
  • fdxrobot: The sun rises here at 5:15. I take my morning walk from 5:30 to 7:00 & I caught all the night spawns without any problems.

Criticism of the situation: However, not all trainers are happy with this suggestion. Their sunrise is very early, so they would have to get up significantly earlier to catch the night spawns.

Moreover, they criticize the approach and the lack of communication from Niantic. When the spawns can be found was not officially communicated. They are expressing their frustration on social media (via reddit.com):

  • MattGeddon: Yes, sunrise here is currently at 4 am, so I have to get up very early if I want to catch any. Luckily, I managed to get all of them for the collector challenge because I stayed up until 1 am last night, but it’s hard to believe how poorly thought out this operation is.
  • jontslayer: It’s pathetic how far we have to go to access part of the game. Worse still, there has been NO COMMUNICATION FROM NIANTIC.
  • Efreet0: I find it crazy that people put up with this, but when you point it out, they get angry because you’re ‘telling them what to do with their time’ or something like that…

For those who are out early in the morning because of work or school, they can definitely try Froggo14’s tip. Maybe you’ll discover the missing monsters as well.

Have you completed your collector challenge yet? Or do you still need night spawns? Will you try Froggo14’s tip and go Pokémon hunting in the early morning hours in the coming days? Let us know here in the comments on MeinMMO and share with other trainers.

Tomorrow, the Rocket takeover begins in Pokémon GO. We will show you all the content.

CS:GO: 26-year-old flames on Twitch so hard that he ruins his professional career

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (Steam), an experienced professional from Argentina played on a Brazilian platform, GamersClub. The CS:GO professional repeatedly made derogatory remarks about Brazilians. A clip of his comments went viral, leading to negative consequences for him.

Who is the player?

  • Nicolás “NikoM” Miozzi (26) plays Rifler in CS:GO.
  • He has been a professional since 2015 and has earned just over $18,000 in prize money; he is therefore not a very successful professional. His greatest successes were at “C-Tier” tournaments.
  • Since the e-sports scene in South America revolves around Brazil and nearly all South Americans want to play in Brazil, the Argentine often played for Brazilian teams, most recently for River Plate.

This is what he did: The Argentine enjoys playing on “Gamers Club” and was even named “Foreign Player of the Year” in 2017. Gamers Club is a Brazilian app that brings people together to play. The goal is to promote e-sports in Brazil.

However, videos circulated showing NikoM making xenophobic comments towards a Brazilian player while he was streaming live on Twitch. He said things to a player like (via dotesports):

  • “dirty Brazilian”
  • “shitty Brazilian”
  • “Brazilian with cancer”
  • “poor Brazilian”

The player “snitched” on NikoM to the GamersClub platform and asked if they thought it was acceptable for a guy with 1,000 viewers to spread racism and xenophobia:

  • Another said he does this constantly, spreading only hate, racism, and xenophobia.

It is also hard to imagine that the man will play for a professional team again. It seems his career is over.

New bug accidentally fixes the most stubborn Gambit bug in Destiny 2 – turns guardians into vacuum cleaners

Britta ♤ BeAngel Britta ♤ BeAngel Reading time 4 minutes

Destiny 2 has accidentally fixed the most annoying Gambit bug of all time in Season 21. MeinMMO reveals how you can now outsmart the pesky particle bug in Gambit and why it is just faulty luck.

What annoying problem plagues Gambit? The Gambit mode in Destiny 2 is a PvPvE mode forgotten by Bungie, yet it still has its followers. And it is here that a persistent and annoying bug has caused frustration and dissatisfaction among players for a long time.

It’s about the problem that Gambit particles keep sinking into the ground.

  • You painstakingly clear an area and then, when the enemies drop their valuable particles, they simply slide 1 meter deep into the ground. Almost unreachable for every Guardian.
  • This is not only extremely annoying but can also negatively influence a team’s progress in Gambit and even lead to defeat.

But that is now over. The problem with the particles slipping underground has probably finally been eliminated. Even though it is essentially a bug that likely happened by chance.

Start video
Destiny 2: New dungeon “Ghosts of the Deep” from Season 21 brings the Ghoul into play

“Vacuum Mod” from Season 21 grabs every particle

This is how you always collect all Gambit particles: The solution for how to still collect every particle that has been lost under the map has come about in an unexpected way. It became possible when Bungie introduced a new mod called “Powerful Attraction” in Season 21.

  • The mod “Powerful Attraction” automatically collects “Orbs of Power” nearby when you activate your class ability. – via light.gg
  • To use it, you need to have a armor capacity of at least 2 energy available.

When the Guardians tried out the new armor mod, they were astonished to find that it not only collects “Orbs of Power” nearby. The mod also reliably sucks in the particles that have slipped under the map in Destiny 2.

For that, the Destiny player ClapTrap created a Gif on Reddit showing how well the mod works for Hunters in Gambit. Esoterickk has also already tried it with his Warlock in a private match:

This is not a mod – this is a glitch!

“This is not a mod, this is a glitch!”: “Powerful Attraction” apparently also works in other locations. But those who are now excited and hope for relief in the particle raid “Garden of Salvation” will be disappointed. The mod, which seems more like a crazy glitch, does not work there at all.

Aside from that, “Powerful Attraction” is generally a fantastic option for Arc Hunter melee builds. It is stackable, which further increases its range, and those who equip it can constantly place 15 particles or collect an enormous number of orbs within seconds.

  • Once equipped, we could cover a radius of about 10 m.
  • With two equipped, it seemed to almost double the distance to about 20 m.
destiny-2-gambit-jäger

Other classes are slightly at a disadvantage: But while the Hunters are already excited, the other two classes are still somewhat skeptical. The mod “Powerful Attraction” does not seem to be as suitable for their class abilities. At least not in Gambit.

As the player Kosire notes:

Nice for Hunters, but [for Titans or Warlocks in Gambit] stopping to place a barricade or a rift is probably not worth the effort to reach the particles underground.

he criticizes the usability of the mod for the class item

Meanwhile, Arc Titans with their exotic “Heart of Inmost Light” could actually use their abilities quite frequently, especially in combination with the Arc dash.

Furthermore, one should consider that the particles do not always and everywhere slide underground. Therefore, the mod could also be a viable option for Warlocks and Titans if they push their rift or barricade a bit with a corresponding Gambit build.

How do you get the mod “Powerful Attraction”? In order for you as a new player to use the mod “Powerful Attraction”, you must basically complete the ascents of the new Guardian rank system. Level up to rank 6 and complete the triumph “Threats and Waves”.

  • “Complete Strikes using a subclass that corresponds to the current wave.”

Destiny veterans have already unlocked the mod “Powerful Attraction” automatically and can socket it directly into their class item.

A dilemma between solution and problem

Is a bug that fixes a bug the solution? Thanks to the attention of Destiny players, this unexpectedly simple solution for a really annoying problem has been found. It’s actually a good thing because Gambit has been neglected by Bungie for 5 years now, and the particle bug has never been fixed.

Innovative mode in Destiny 2 has been dying for 5 years and Bungie owes the community answers about the future

But although the mod makes the Gambit experience more enjoyable, it also makes it unfair because you can fill your particles very quickly. In a team, it’s simply too strong to have 4x 15 particles ready within seconds. This was probably not the intention of Bungie. If the opposing team uses this mod, you will definitely notice it.

So if Bungie decides to fix this bug, Gambit would be fairer again, but the old annoying particle problem would return.

Still, many players have asked Bungie to refrain from a patch, as the mod does not work in the raid and Gambit really needs a ray of hope.

Whether the developers will heed this request remains to be seen. For now, however, the mod “Powerful Attraction” is still active and can be used in Gambit.

Did you already know how practical the new class mod is? What do you think about being able to ensure that you get all particles back in no time? And is this more of a solution or a new unfair mistake that should be fixed immediately? Please share your opinion in the comments.

Diablo 4: Ancestor Items – Why These Items Are So Strong and Where to Find Them

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

After the campaign in Diablo 4, you unlock new item types in the new world tiers. Ancestral items are very powerful items that can enhance your build. Why the ancestral items are so good and where you can find them is shown here.

What are ancestral items? In Diablo 4, you can find 3 types of items:

  • Normal items
  • Holy items
  • Legacy items (This is the term for ancestral items in Diablo 4)

Every item, whether white, legendary, or unique, can fall under these 3 categories. However, you will only find holy and legacy items at higher world tiers. The ancestral items are the best of the 3 and can significantly enhance your build.

We will show you why the ancestral items are so good and how to find them.

Diablo 4: Ancestral Items – Locations and Features

Where do I find ancestral items? Ancestral items are the best of the 3 item types and thus the most difficult to unlock. You can only find them in world tier 4. For that, you must complete the following first:

  • Campaign of Diablo 4 must be completed
  • For world tier 3, you must complete the dungeon “Cathedral of Light”
  • For world tier 4, you also need to complete the dungeon “Fallen Temple”

Once you have completed the dungeon, you can set the world tier to 4 in Kyovashad. Generally, you should be around level 70 to be able to enjoy yourself in world tier 4.

Where is the best place to find ancestral items? Theoretically, ancestral items can drop in world tier 4 at any time. The Whispering Tree and Hell Flood are good places for farming.

As Associate Game Director Joseph Piepiora tweeted, the chance for holy and legacy items is increased in Nightmare Dungeons.

What makes ancestral items so special? Ancestral items are generally more powerful than normal or holy items.

  • Ancestral items have an average item power of 750
  • Ancestral items have higher values than normal and holy items due to their higher item power
  • More affixes than normal items
  • Ancestral items can drop in all rarities

Holy and ancestral items also have one additional affix compared to normal items. Accordingly, they may have, for example, higher armor values.

Steam: A role-playing game that fans have been waiting for 20 years shows its open world

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

For 20 years, fans have been waiting for a new installment of “Baldur’s Gate.” Now, the developers have given some insights into the open world.

What kind of game is this? Baldur’s Gate 3 is the latest game in the video game series “Baldur’s Gate,” which was created in the 90s and is set in the eponymous city. Additionally, it is a spin-off of the famous role-playing game “Dungeons and Dragons.”

The release of Baldur’s Gate 3 is on August 31, 2023. The game is being developed by Larian Studios and will be released on PS5 and PC via Steam.

The turn-based role-playing game uses an isometric perspective and also offers a co-op mode where you can play together with up to three friends.

Already in 2021, Baldur’s Gate 3 was among the top sellers on Steam, even though it hadn’t been released at that time and was only playable in early access.

The City of Baldur’s Gate Appears as a “Seamless Organism”

What has been shown about the open world? The developers of Baldur’s Gate 3 talked in a new video about the development of the city. Images of the famous city were also shown.

The developers described the city in the video as a “large, seamless organism” that is now much larger than in the 90s and one that you can immerse yourself in. For instance, you can look down the slopes of the city and see the docks.

In addition, each person in the city is supposed to bring their own story, and it should be possible to talk to almost everyone. In general, the city should feel alive and give the impression that it is a place where people go about their everyday lives.

You can see the video with the images of the city here:

What do the fans say? In the comments on YouTube, players express their awe at the images of the city and share their excitement for the game’s release.

  • tominatorxx: “My God, the city looks huge and absolutely stunning!”
  • jemeek82: “This game has the potential to excite many people about the DnD universe. It looks totally awesome, and I am so excited!”
  • kel_ski: “I am more than thrilled with this game.”
  • fev1027: “If the whole game is as good as the first act, it will be one of the best CRPGs of all time.”

Diablo 4: Entrance to Uldur’s Cave – Here you enter the dungeon

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

In Diablo 4 there are countless dungeons that reward you with fame and various aspects for the classes. One of these dungeons is Uldur’s Cave. How to find it and what awaits you there is shown here.

Why is Uldur’s Cave special? Uldur’s Cave is one of many dungeons in Kehjistan. This dungeon is easy to complete due to its structure. Additionally, there is hardly any backtracking compared to other dungeons, which makes it more streamlined.

Unlike the other dungeons, Uldur’s Cave also has no boss, but only an elite opponent that you can defeat quickly without much effort.

Start video
Diablo 4: Immediately activate these 2 settings, otherwise you will miss important equipment values

The dungeons have developed alongside nightmare dungeons and the hell flood into popular sources for looting and leveling. A fairly linear dungeon without a major boss is, of course, a good opportunity.

You can check out all activities after the campaign in our Diablo 4 endgame overview.

Here you will find the entrance to Uldur’s Cave

Where can you find Uldur’s Cave? The dungeon is located in the western part of the Kehjistan area.

Here you see the location of the dungeon on the map

What rewards are there for the dungeon? If you complete the dungeon, you will receive 30 fame for the Kehjistan area and the aspect of the damned for the necromancer. This ensures that enemies affected by both Altern and Iron Maiden deal 30-40% more shadow damage.

A good aspect for the necromancer, especially focusing on his shadow damage.

What do you have to do in Uldur’s Cave? The tasks are quite simple.

  • You have to destroy 3 barricades
  • Kill enemies in an area
  • Finally, you must defeat an elite opponent

Uldur’s Cave is a dungeon that everyone should be able to complete, and due to its short length, it’s worth a look for players who don’t even play the necromancer.

GTA Online: Attention! Bug causes your expensive vehicles to disappear, can affect anyone

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Beware when logging into GTA Online! Currently, there is a bug that removes your expensive vehicles. Players are reporting their experiences with it.

What kind of bug is this? In the online world of Grand Theft Auto V, the mood is currently bad. On social media, players are reporting that they have suddenly lost their vehicles. Now, creators are warning about this bug. Log in at your own risk, they say. As long as the issue is not resolved, your vehicles are at risk.

We will show you here how the bug works and what players are saying about it.

Community warns against logging into GTA Online

This is the warning: In a tweet from June 20, YouTuber GhillieMaster highlights the current problems in the online mode (via Twitter.com). He writes:

WARNING! Check your garages in GTA Online as soon as possible. A new bug randomly removes your insurances. Don’t let your vehicles be destroyed, or you will lose them if they have no insurances.

In a YouTube video, he also addresses the bug:

In the comments on Twitter, some players reply who are affected by the bug. User Jackknife Finnegan writes: ‘I literally just lost my MK II out of nowhere … I thought you were joking. But this is serious and ridiculous.’

Another user asks if this could apply to all vehicles. Like the Deluxo, the Ruiner 2K, Arena War vehicles, etc., to which GhillieMaster replies: ‘If they can be stored and insured, then it can happen.’

Also on Reddit, players are discussing the topic. One writes:

  • ‘[…] The car I have owned for months and that was automatically insured because I bought it online somehow had no insurance, I have now lost my favorite car🥲.’

von Dariusz Müller

What does this mean for you? If you are currently racing through the streets of GTA Online with your 3-million-dollar sports car, it may happen that suddenly your insurance coverage is no longer active. If another player in a session decides to have fun and destroys your car, then it is gone. Forever. At least according to the current state in GTA Online.

So be sure to check the insurance coverage of your vehicles if you want to play GTA Online. You can do this in your garages at the vehicle info.

Players take affected vehicles to LS Customs and have them insured again. But whether these insurances can no longer be affected by the bug is unclear.

These problems arise shortly after the update, in which Rockstar Games removed nearly 200 vehicles from the dealers.

FIFA 23: Only 9.5 % played a women’s match – Now EA brings a big update for the World Cup that is supposed to excite you

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

In FIFA 23 will the Women’s World Cup 2023 be accompanied by a major update. What is in the mode?

When FIFA 23 was presented, EA Sports made it clear that it wanted to give more attention to women’s football. Among other things, some club teams and leagues for women were introduced, and Australian top scorer Sam Kerr became the cover star of the game.

In some modes like Ultimate Team, however, the female players are still missing. And even among the player community, the features surrounding women’s football apparently haven’t caught on yet.

If you look at the PS5 achievement statistics for FIFA 23, you will find the achievement “Football is everything”. You get it once you play a match with women’s teams. So far, this achievement is marked as “Very Rare”, with 9.5% of players having obtained it.

Will this number increase by the release of successor EA Sports FC? It is conceivable, as a new update for FIFA 23 is to accompany the Women’s World Cup in the summer.

What kind of update is it for FIFA 23?

EA Sports presented the update for the “FIFA Women’s World Cup” on its own website (via ea.com). There should be different ways to experience the tournament directly in the game.

One option puts individual players in the foreground: In the “Take Your Country” mode, you either play as a real player or create your own, which can then be assigned to the national team. Now the tournament is played through – either with the chosen player or the entire team.

Then there is a very classic tournament mode that you can play solo. Additionally, the World Cup will also be available in kick-off, where you can play against the AI or friends on the couch.

What content is included in the update? Besides the tournament modes, all 32 qualified nations will be available. There will also be decorations for the stadium and a special presentation of the matches including new cinematics. The commentators are also expected to specifically address the tournament.

When will the update be released? EA Sports did not provide an exact date yet, mentioning “end of June”. It will be released as a free update, so it can be easily downloaded.

By the way, the real World Cup starts on July 20, 2023, and runs until August 20. The tournament will take place in Australia and New Zealand.

People destroy millions of innocent old hard drives, while there is a much safer method to protect your old data

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

Millions of hard drives (HDDs) are shredded every year. There are much safer methods to protect old data.

Many people destroy old hard drives because they believe that shredding old hard drives can prevent the recovery of valuable data. However, destruction does not stop experienced hackers from recovering your data from an HDD.

Some sell their hard drives or dispose of them without thinking about their data. As a result, sensitive business data or personal data like passport photos, forgotten by a user, are often found.

According to the online magazine PCGamer, a trained hacker only needs a piece of an old hard drive that is just 3 mm small to extract data. If you only send your hard drive through a shredder, there is (theoretically) a chance that your data will be analyzed.

Instead, two other methods are recommended if you want to thoroughly delete your data.

There are better ways to irretrievably delete data

To thoroughly delete data on an old hard drive and make it uninteresting for hackers, there are two simple methods:

Method 1: On one hand, you can overwrite your data with new data patterns. Usually, one single overwrite is sufficient. Modern HDDs today also offer the command ATA-“Enhanced Security Erase.” This is supposed to erase the entire hard drive including defective storage areas, explains BSI.

A formatting, by the way, is not enough, because it only creates a new file system structure and a new directory. Your data will still be preserved.

In a further step, you should also delete all other copies of the data that may be located in temporary files or pagefiles.

Method 2: On the other hand, you can simply delete the encryption key with which you use your hard drive. Because without the key, hackers cannot do anything with your data.

von Benedikt Schlotmann

What else works? Linus Neumann, spokesperson for the Chaos Computer Club, recommends encrypting data in general (via netzpolitik.org). Once the entire hard drive is encrypted, it is no longer readable without a password. Programs like BitLocker are already integrated into Windows today and can be used by anyone.

Diablo 4: Improve, use and remove gems – This is how the Jeweler works

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 4 minutes

One of the most important things to get the most out of your build in Diablo 4 are the gems. Gems can provide various values depending on where you use them. How to improve gems and the gem smith is covered in our guide.

How do gems work? Gems can be placed into the various sockets of your items. Depending on the type of equipment, gems improve different values. There are gems in 5 different quality levels:

  • Raw Gemstone
  • Damaged Gemstone
  • Gemstone
  • Flawless Gemstone
  • Royal Gemstone

Lower-level gemstones can be improved by the gem smith.

Diablo 4: With this trick, you save inventory slots

Diablo 4: Unlocking the Gem Smith and Upgrading Gemstones

How do I unlock the Gem Smith? When you reach level 20 with your character, you receive a quest to visit the jeweler in Kyovashad. He will ask you to convert a raw ruby into a damaged ruby.

What else can you do at the Gem Smith? The Gem Smith not only improves gems but also has other important functions.

  • You can add sockets to equipment. The materials for this can be found with world bosses or loot goblins. This is useful when you have good equipment that lacks sockets.
  • You can remove gemstones from sockets if you want to swap them between equipment pieces.
  • You can upgrade your jewelry, i.e., rings and amulets, to enhance their values.
This is what the menu looks like when you want to craft and improve gemstones

How do I improve gemstones? To upgrade gems to the next level, you only need 3 copies of a gem and enough gold. For example, you can turn 3 damaged sapphires into a sapphire. Upgrading to the next level also improves the values provided by the gemstone.

The gold costs are as follows:

  • Damaged Gemstone: 4,500 Gold
  • Gemstone: 12,500 Gold
  • Flawless Gemstone: 18,000 Gold
  • Royal Gemstone: 50,000 Gold

Diablo 4: All Gemstones and Their Effects – Overview

How can I forge stronger gemstones? To be able to forge higher quality gemstones, you just need to level up your hero. Depending on your level, you will unlock higher quality upgrade levels for your gemstones:

  • Damaged Gemstones: Level 20
  • Gemstones: Level 40
  • Flawless Gemstones: Level 60
  • Royal Gemstones: Level 70

This only pertains to crafting. You can also find flawless diamonds for example at level 55.

Diablo 4: Creative players build fantastic skins without throwing more money into Blizzard’s mouth

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

Diablo 4 offers a built-in system to customize your appearance. Through the “Transmog,” you can assemble and quickly change various outfits. Some players use this to recreate famous characters – and quite impressively.

In the Transmog system of Diablo 4, many players are currently expressing their creativity. You can change your armor and adjust colors with just a few adjustments and even use special items that you carry on your back. Very popular: a cute wolf puppy.

Diablo 4 places great importance on the appearance of your characters. You can already make countless adjustments during character creation and find various armors in the game to create your own style.

However, the shop is under criticism. Pre-made skin packs cost up to 25 €, which is even too much for some hardcore fans. However, everything is optional and purely cosmetic.

In fact, many items from the shop can be found almost identically in the game and the armors that drop sometimes look even better. Players are now sharing their special creations on social media.

All the outfits shown come completely without microtransactions and shop, while you can buy slightly prettier versions or “complete sets” directly if you don’t want to farm them yourself. If you are on the hunt for stylish Transmog, you should quickly find the items together.

Remember that items look different depending on the area in which you find them. Even if the stats are identical, a helmet from the peaks looks different from one from the steppe.

Diablo 4: Player defeats most feared boss with simple trick – He only needed a ladder

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

In Diablo 4 the Butcher is a notorious enemy that could appear at any time while you are exploring dungeons. Defeating him is no easy task at higher world levels. However, a player tricked the boss and defeated him easily – with a ladder.

Who is the Butcher? The Butcher originally comes from Diablo 1, but has been a constant presence in the Diablo series. In Diablo 4, he appears as a secret boss who can make your life difficult in dungeons or hellish floods.

He can drop good loot when you defeat him. However, this is easier said than done. With a lot of CC and damage, he is a powerful opponent, especially when he surprises players in the most unsuitable situations.

Strong builds are therefore essential to defeat him. You can find the best builds in our tier list of the strongest classes in Diablo 4.

A ladder as the ultimate trick

How did the player trick the Butcher? The user ataya47 posted a video on Reddit in which he easily defeats the Butcher. It only took a simple ladder.

He plays the Sorceress with the Ice Shard core skill. As the Butcher chases him and deals visibly high damage, the player gets the idea to climb the ladder. Suddenly, the Butcher can no longer move, and the player kills him with ice shards.

You can see the Reddit video here:

Of course, the trick cannot be easily replicated, as the Butcher does not always appear where you have ladders accessible.

A similar trick was done before when a player tricked and killed the Butcher with a box.

How do other players react? The comments on Reddit are visibly having fun with the video and comment jokes against Blizzard’s nerf philosophy along with Obi-Wan memes.

  • stepdog65: It’s over Butcher, I have the high ground.
  • TechTuna1200: Blizzard’s new patch: The Butcher has been buffed and can now climb ladders.
  • You-cant-stop-us: Update: The Butcher can now eat ladders.

All the jokes about the patches probably refer to the many nerfs that Blizzard brings in Diablo 4. However, this philosophy was explained at the last Campfire event:

LoL: 25-year-old builds an app alone and without outside money – 10 years later he sells it for 50 million €

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

A French entrepreneur founded a startup at 25 that developed an app for League of Legends. He ran the startup without outside money or any employees. The app for LoL grew for 10 years and became increasingly popular. Now he achieved a spectacular sale.

What kind of app is this?

  • The company is called “Wargraphs”, the app for LoL is called “Porofessor”. A corresponding website can be found at “League of Graphs.” There are also corresponding apps for the LoL offshoots Teamfight Tactics and Legends of Runeterra.
  • The app helps LoL players track and improve their in-game statistics: You can check how popular certain champions are, which champion to use against them, which runes to use, and which jungle paths increase the chances of winning.
  • LoL players love to improve their game. According to Techcrunch the app, along with the website, has 1.25 million daily users, and the company made 12.3 million € in revenue last year.

He has also achieved a lot in the last 10 years but has not developed an app:

Never taken outside money, never hired employees

The special thing is: Behind all the websites and apps is just one person, Jean-Nicolas Mastin.

He founded the company Wargraph at the age of 25 and has led it for 10 years without hiring employees or seeking outside money.

Who bought the company now? Wargraph was recently acquired for 50 million euros by a Swedish company, MOBA Network (via techcrunch).

The CEO says: Together with the founder, who joins the team, plans have already been made to further develop the project and to bring it to new games and markets.

With the acquisition of Mastin, they have now acquired a lot of expertise, which will help the company become the world’s best company in the gaming community sector.

Being smarter than the opponent because you have more info – that is the promise of Porofessor.

The developer himself now wants to develop a game after 10 years of app development. Something in the direction of Hearthstone.

But he also wants to do that without outside money.

Pokémon GO: Trainer ‘loses’ valuable Master Ball, players show him the solution

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, a trainer is warning against using catch gadgets at the wrong moment – as he believes it cost him his Master Ball.

What is the problem? In Pokémon GO, there is the daily adventure incense, an item that allows you to get special spawns for 15 minutes while walking.

The big win of these 15 minutes is currently the rare Galar birds that can appear randomly. However, they are difficult to catch and tend to flee. That’s why some trainers are currently using their new Master Ball for these monsters, which guarantees to catch them. So did a trainer on reddit.

But the user ExtensionEgg7233 was quite surprised when he tried to catch his new Galar Zapdos: Because apparently his autocatcher, the “PokéBall Plus”, had already selected it.

What are autocatchers? These are gadgets that Pokémon GO players can use to spin stops or catch monsters without having to actively play the game. A new version of this is supposed to be coming soon.

“I clicked on the Zapdos and used my Master Ball, but my Pokéball Plus must have already selected it,” the user describes. When trying to catch it with the Master Ball, he then received an error message stating that “the Pokémon could not be found, and now it’s no longer in my storage!” The Master Ball is supposed to catch every Pokémon for sure.

To make matters worse, the Master Ball was now also gone – and you only get one of those. That’s why the trainer warns against using the autocatcher in such situations with the daily adventure incense.

But other users are already reassuring him, saying: It’s okay, and the ball is likely not lost.

Trainers recommend the oldest gaming trick in the world for rescue

What do trainers say about this? In the comments, there are immediately some players who have an idea about the problem. Effectively they say: Have you tried turning it off and on again?

One user writes that he had exactly the same problem: Just reload your game, it’s not gone. I did the same thing when I went to work the other morning, and it reset when the game realized I hadn’t caught it (via reddit).

Another user refers to a friend who also had the problem with the adventure incense, which was resolved by reloading. He also mentions the support, which usually suggests exactly that first.

Moreover, the support of Pokémon GO often recommends the option Update game data for bugs and similar issues. You can find this in the advanced settings. It is supposed to be used when one detects problems in the game.

Another tip from an autocatcher user: One should first throw a berry at a Pokémon before attempting a catch. If the Gotcha has already detected the spawns, an error should appear now (via reddit). This way, one doesn’t even get tempted to throw the Master Ball.

Overall, trainers recommend to the user to use these options or, if in doubt, to contact support. However, whether it worked is still uncertain – the user has not provided further updates yet.

By the way: Some players in the thread report having caught Galar birds with the autocatcher just like that. So there does seem to be a chance of success.

MeinMMO editor Patrick Freese meanwhile had his problems with the catch gadget from Pokémon GO.
