Next Wednesday, March 24, EA will release the new TOTW 26 (Team of the Week) in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. But which players could be included? Here you will find out who could secure a spot in the new Team of the Week.
What is the Team of the Week? Each week, EA Sports assembles a new TOTW. This team consists of 23 players who have stood out with strong performances over the weekend.
For this, they receive a spot in the Team of the Week as well as enhanced Inform cards, which can then be found in packs for one week.
These are TOTW Predictions: The predictions for the Team of the Week are community forecasts. Here, an attempt is made to guess which players will be chosen for the next Team of the Week based on their strong performances.
It is important to note, however, that these are theoretical predictions and not guarantees. The TOTW 26 next Wednesday may look entirely different than the predictions suggest.
Moreover, the predictions can be wonderfully used to earn some coins in FUT 21. How this works, we will reveal to you here:
The prediction for Team of the Week 26 in Ultimate Team
This week, we take a look at the predictions of the well-known FIFA YouTuber KieronSFF . Despite a hat-trick, he does not see Robert Lewandowski in the next TOTW, as he was recently represented in TOTW 23.

These Bundesliga players could be seen in the new TOTW:
Serge Gnabry from FC Bayern did not score a hat-trick like Robert Lewandowski, but he provided one goal and scored another himself. Whether he will receive his second Inform card for this, we will find out on Wednesday.
This is what a new TOTW card from Gnabry could look like
Stefan Lainer had a strong game against Schalke 04 and managed to score a goal in the 3-0 victory. He may receive his first Inform card in FUT 21 for this performance.
Marcel Sabitzer impressed in the game against Arminia Bielefeld and scored the decisive 1-0 winning goal. A TOTW card would therefore be plausible.
André Silva scored twice and provided another goal in the spectacular 5-2 victory against Union Berlin. His third Inform card should thus be in the cards.
Almost an hour, two players worked on a boss in WoW: Classic. Instead of 40 players, they were just two.
In both WoW: Shadowlands and World of Warcraft Classic, there are always crazy records set by players. After a while, the dragon lady Onyxia was defeated by three people, and this has now been surpassed. Only two players participated and defeated the raid boss.
What happened? The two players Shiftus (Priest) and Gendisarray (Warrior) apparently did not want to defeat Onyxia with 40 people, so they took on the challenge just the two of them.
The warrior had to not only deal damage but also act as a tank at the same time. With a holy priest at his back, this was indeed feasible.
However, the entire fight took a while, almost an hour. With just under 57 minutes, the fight became a test of patience – not only for the players but also for Onyxia, who is usually accustomed to shorter fights.

What’s so special about it? Actually, Onyxia is a boss designed for 40 players. However, the mechanics of the fight are not particularly complicated, which is why it can also be mastered with fewer players. But the fewer players participating, the longer the fight drags on. Since Onyxia has no enrage timer, there is no limit to how long the fight can last. Only the players’ resources – such as mana – could become a problem.
So many resources were needed: It is also astonishing how many potions and items were used in the fight. The priest alone probably spent several hundred gold – depending on the costs on his realm – because he consumed:
23x Major Mana Potion
21x Demonic Rune
3x Elixir of Restoration
2x Flask of Distilled Wisdom
2x Flasks of Petrification
But the warrior Gendisarray also didn’t hold back and spent a lot:
The two players didn’t gain any gameplay benefit from the kill. Neither needed loot from the boss; it was solely about the challenge of surviving the fight – with the smallest possible group.
Have you also set and completed such challenges in WoW Classic? Or is it a waste of time for you?

Here’s what it’s like in The Division 1 and 2: In the loot shooters, a deadly disease has plunged the world into chaos. The Division does, however, still adhere to realistic scenarios in parts.
Players are part of the Division and tasked by the government to restore order. They fight against humans who have banded together into hostile factions.
PvP throughout the game world
Here’s what it’s like in The Day Before: In the survival MMO, you can encounter other players anywhere in the world. You can either team up or shoot each other and steal equipment. How PvP will work exactly is still unknown. Speaking of open world, there are also differences here.
Here’s what it’s like in The Division 1 and 2: In the loot shooters, PvP is limited to the Dark Zones and their own multiplayer modes. There are no PvP elements in the open world.
What is the Dark Zone in The Division? It is the showcase of the loot shooter. These are particularly heavily contaminated areas that were cut off from the outside world at the outbreak of the pandemic. Chaos reigned here. However, you can find particularly valuable loot there. This loot must, however, first be extracted from the Dark Zone. In the Dark Zones, PvP and PvE are mixed; you encounter hostile NPCs as well as other players, where you never know if they want to harm you. So you must watch your loot, as other players can steal it from you.
The world of The Day Before is more dangerous
Here’s what it’s like in The Day Before: In the survival MMO, you deal with a larger number of threats. Besides humans and zombies, according to the developers, even the weather can be deadly. It is supposed to behave realistically and unpredictably and also affect gameplay.
Snow dampens your steps when sneaking. Storms usually mean your death if you can’t find shelter. The weather can, therefore, either help you or make life a nightmare.
Here’s what it’s like in The Division 1 and 2: There, the survivors have formed peaceful colonies on one hand, but there are also numerous dangerous groups that exploit the chaos.
They have armed themselves, organized, and are fighting for dominance in the settings of The Division 1 and 2. Thus, humans are both your friends and enemies.
In The Division, the weather only occasionally created beautiful scenes or hindered vision, but had little impact on gameplay otherwise.
You are not just traveling in a city
Here’s what it’s like in The Day Before: The survival MMO also takes you to the countryside. Players visit forests, abandoned settlements, mountains, and other locations in the game world. How large this will be is still unknown.
You can find an initial impression of this in the latest trailer, which also shows another difference to The Division:
https://youtu.be/gALiOVYws8w
Here’s what it’s like in The Division: Aside from a few smaller missions, most of the game is set in the urban areas of New York and Washington D.C. There is no venture into the wilderness.
There are (working) vehicles in The Day Before
Here’s what it’s like in The Day Before: There isn’t much information yet. In previous gameplay, the truck shown above was seen, but there seem to be larger, armored vehicles as well. However, you must always ensure that you have enough fuel.
Here’s what it’s like in The Division 1 and 2: In The Division, the open world is filled with cars, ambulances, and other vehicles, none of which can be driven.
The Day Before relies more on survival
Here’s what it’s like in The Day Before: While The Division is not a survival game and only takes a small step towards survival in a few things, The Day Before fully focuses on such mechanics.
You must consume enough food, pay attention to temperatures and clothing, and guard against injuries, as you can bleed out. Whether The Day Before will be a hardcore survival game is still not entirely clear. Previous gameplay looks rather like it will be a survival-light.
Here’s what it’s like in The Division 1 and 2: The loot shooters themselves are not designed as survival games. While there is crafting, it is very minimalistic. In The Division 1, there is also the survival mode. There, players must battle through a blizzard in Manhattan without their actual equipment, searching for food and other resources.
No levels or unrealistic numbers
Here’s what it’s like in The Day Before: The survival MMO has no level or loot system. While you must collect equipment, it does so without rarity tiers and special perks. Players will not be able to level up and therefore also not be stronger than other players with lower levels.
Here’s what it’s like in The Division 1 and 2: Both shooters have extensive RPG mechanics in which you must build builds and farm a lot of equipment. From normal to exotic items, there are the typical rarity tiers with their respective colors. Enemies also have health bars like in other RPGs and can take quite a lot of damage.
When is The Day Before set to release? The survival MMO is announced for the second quarter of 2021 and is expected to release on Steam. Apparently, it is also set to come to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S later, as the developers indicate in an interview with wccftech.com.

The survival MMO The Day Before has often been compared to the loot shooter The Division since its announcement. But what are the similarities and, more importantly, what makes it different? MeinMMO presents 7 things that distinguish the two.
What is The Day Before? It is a survival MMO, visually reminiscent of the shooter The Division. The Day Before is developed by the studio FNTASTIC, and the publisher is Mytona. Even the first trailer showcased some commonalities. Since the first announcement, players have frequently drawn this comparison.
In this special, MeinMMO briefly summarizes the similarities between both games. However, we want to focus especially on the differences that are now known.
[toc]
What the two games have in common:
Both are third-person shooters with a cover system
They have a very similar graphic style
Both have a large open world to explore
Both are set in a post-apocalyptic USA
Both have a post-apocalyptic setting, with a pandemic as the cause of the downfall
Both offer PvP, where players can steal loot from others
This image illustrates how similar both titles look at first glance.
Despite these many similarities, there are quite a few things that distinguish the two shooters from each other. Here are 7 of them summarized for you.
There are zombies in The Day Before
Here’s what it’s like in The Day Before: The Day Before follows the classic zombie apocalypse path. While a pandemic is also the underlying cause of the world’s downfall, zombies are the primary threat here.
The zombies are not twisted mutants but are meant to be more ‘realistic.’ So you are unlikely to encounter acid-spewing 3-meter zombies. However, humans remain a threat. You will encounter both friends and foes. Additionally, there are other players who can always be a threat.
Here you can see gameplay from The Day Before:

The NoPixels-3.0 server is considered one of the largest roleplay servers in GTA Online. Big streamers like xQc are active there. He was recently robbed live by other roleplayers, which is making his fans quite angry. But what is the problem?
Who is it about? xQc is a well-known roleplayer and streamer on the private NoPixel-3.0 server of GTA Online. He is regularly active there. With the exception of a temporary ban for cheating, xQc is often streaming while he roleplays in Los Santos.
This just happened: Recently, xQc was in the process of delivering 6 stolen phones. He noticed that a white Mustang was following him. Eventually, the driver started ramming him at full speed and opened fire.
A wild chase ensued, during which xQc’s van eventually stopped, and the attacker managed to shoot and rob him.
While the streamer remained calm, his viewers found it quite hilarious. A discussion about the attacker erupted on reddit. You can watch it here in the video:
Bad or good roleplay?
Here’s how the viewers react: On reddit, the reactions to the thief are not very friendly. The comment with the most upvotes has over 400 likes and comes from user azureMR: “At this point, I’m convinced they did it just for attention […]”
Many are wondering how coordinated the attack was. The attacker appeared out of nowhere and seemed to know exactly where his victim was driving. This leads some to suspect that the attacker was “stream sniping,” meaning xQc was watched over his own stream, allowing them to see everything.
User NickPDF writes: I just watched the attacker’s video and the thing is: They might have had someone watching X [xQc] and relaying the information to them over the phone […], then they rammed him without roleplay at 144 km/h and immediately knew that his goods were hidden in the glove compartment.”
There is also a lot of dissent. On one hand, it cannot be proven that the attackers spied on xQc through his stream. Many also view the accusation of bad roleplay as unjustified. For example, misterysp writes: “It is a legitimate tactic used by robbers.” Many have also argued against the accusation of bad roleplay.
This might be the real reason: Other players see the reason for the attack as xQc having ventured into the wrong territory. Apparently, the theft of the phones took place in a gang’s territory.
They might have caught wind of it, as Rafi2596 writes: “They didn’t do stream sniping, X robbed a house in their territory and got shot for it.” Therefore, many players view it as good RP.
What do you think of the story? Have you ever done roleplay in GTA and experienced something similar? Share it in the comments.
A bug with the Demon Hunter in WoW has been noticed. As a tank, it is far too strong because one of its values seems to be calculated completely incorrectly.
For months, there have been wild discussions in WoW: Shadowlands about which tank is the best and what is going wrong with tanking at the moment. Until now, Demon Hunters have actually been quite solid and were gladly included – but that could soon change. A large part of their tanking ability is likely based on a nasty bug.
Who claims this? The colleagues from wowhead seem to have uncovered this bug. In a comprehensive analysis, they demonstrate with several calculations why the damage reduction for the Demon Hunter tank is currently faulty.
What has been determined? Demon Hunter tanks currently take around 15% less magic damage than they actually should. While Demon Hunters naturally have a strong defense against magical attacks because “Demonic Protection” and “Viscous Ink” significantly reduce magic damage, it seems that “Demonic Protection” is being counted twice. Instead of absorbing 15% of magic damage, it’s around 30%.
They still have a good laugh – but will it stay that way?
How long has the bug existed? Since the beta of Shadowlands, if the data from wowhead is correct – which can currently be assumed. Some nerfs during the beta for the Demon Hunter were made because the data for the Demon Hunter was distorted by the undiscovered bug. The entire specialization is currently balanced “around the bug”.
What are the consequences of the bug? Basically, it must be noted that Demon Hunters can currently keep up with other tanks because this bug exists. If Blizzard simply fixes it, Demon Hunter tanks would be significantly weakened and would struggle to keep up with the other tanks.
Blizzard has several options for how the problem can be addressed:
The bug is declared a feature, and the current incorrect values will henceforth be accepted as “correct”.
The Demon Hunter will be corrected and will receive some improvements to mitigate the fix somewhat.
At the same time, the underperforming tanks could also be improved a bit. In particular, Warriors would currently appreciate some small buffs to make them more reliable in mythic dungeons.
How Blizzard will handle the bug and whether they plan any changes is still unclear. So enjoy your Demon Hunter tanks in their current strength as long as you still have them. Who knows when that will be over.

The players of Valheim consistently come up with cool ideas to creatively implement the possibilities of the survival game. Some of these players build functioning sundials that are actually quite useful.
How does the sundial work? A sundial shows the time based on the position of the sun. It works by placing a gnomon in the right position that casts its shadow on a dial.
In Valheim, many players have already presented their versions of a homemade sundial. This works because the sun actually moves there.
Here’s how to build the clock: You only need wood to build a sundial and the basic recipes from your workbench. The construction is already possible very early in the game and is relatively simple, and you do not need any mods:
stand so that you are facing north (“up” on the map)
if you want to calculate north yourself, wait until the sun rises
the sun rises in the east – position yourself so that it is exactly to your right
now build a beam that points directly away from you – that now indicates north
build two more beams at right angles in each direction as well as some diagonal beams upwards
fill the area in front of you with wooden pieces and border it with more beams – this will be your dial
the left end of the dial indicates about 9:00 AM, the right end about 4:00 PM
the exact middle indicates 12:00 PM
between these times, you can place additional beams for display. The closer you get to the center, the closer they need to stand to each other
The sun rises in Valheim between about 8:00 and 9:00 AM and sets around 4:00 PM. Your dial can thus indicate about these times. If you want to make it easier, you can also build the sundial for free with admin commands. This short clip from reddit user HipHopHuman shows how it looks in action:
The reddit user ScrapEngineering created a variation with a wall-mounted gnomon that works just the same – at least as long as the wall is facing south. Otherwise, it blocks the sun’s rays. These sundials are not only stylish but also really useful.
Displaying time in Valheim and making the most of the day
This is how you measure time in Valheim: You can accurately calculate how long you have been in the game with the clocks – and do so without tabbing out of Valheim or having to look at a “real” clock.
Just look at the hours. According to the Valheim wiki, a day in Valheim lasts about 21 minutes, with a night lasting another nine minutes. So it takes exactly 30 minutes from one sunrise to the next. You can even build the clock in a circle to display night hours as well:
You can also arrange the sundial like this. Image source: reddit.
According to reddit user Ruhart, there are three minutes between each hour in the game. This gives you seven hours of day and three hours of night in the game. It’s useful to know when you want to calculate how much daylight you have left.
What else is the clock useful for? A glance at the sundial tells you how far the day has progressed toward evening. This allows you to estimate quite accurately when night will fall.
This is important because at night you receive the “Cold” debuff. This decreases your stamina and health regeneration if you do not keep warm. Therefore, once the day is nearing its end, you should go to bed before starting larger projects. This way, you preserve more of your stamina.
If you want to make the most of your time, you should also pay attention to your diet. With the right food, you can gain a big bonus to your health and stamina points and even to regeneration in Valheim. In our guide, you can find out what the best food in Valheim is and how to make it.

In Destiny 2, you can secure one of the currently best hand cannons in the game – True Prophecy – in Season 13 with some luck and little effort. However, many are not even aware of this gun.
Are you into hand cannons? Hand cannons are currently trendy in Destiny 2 – especially in PvP, some models are a staple of the meta. But many guardians also rely on hand cannons in PvE. Particularly popular and effective are those from the archetype with Aggressive Frame and a 120 RPM.
They shoot a bit slower, but are very precise, have enormous range, and pack a serious punch. In short: If you like hand cannons, the 120 RPM models featuring weapons like the exotic Sturm (with Catalyst), Last Dollar, Quiet Hand, or Igneous Hammer are among the best options you can currently choose from.
However, there is another real gem in this archetype, which experts and players also rave about, but which currently not everyone has on their radar. The well-known Destiny YouTuber Atzecross Gaming referred to this weapon shortly before Season 13 as “the best hand cannon that you can no longer obtain”.
Since Destiny 1, guardians have enjoyed playing with hand cannons as Space Cowboys, and revolvers have since become the favorite weapon type for many.
Hand Cannon Fan? Then definitely get True Prophecy
What this weapon is about: It concerns the hand cannon True Prophecy for the kinetic slot. This originally comes from the Future War Cult from the faction wars but has not been obtainable at current power levels recently. It has even completely vanished from the loot pool.
What not everyone knows: Recently, the availability has changed, and the weapon has been available again since Season 13 – at current power levels. In other words, it will remain current following the end of weapon sunsetting and can be used easily in the following seasons.
However, not everyone is even aware of the weapon or knows that this is currently available. Many of my guardian friends were surprised when I proudly presented my God Roll for this silent returnee, which I recently pulled.
This is how to get True Prophecy in Season 13
It is comparatively straightforward and only costs you weapon master materials. You can currently only obtain this weapon through engrams from weapon master Banshee-44 in the Tower – in exchange for the aforementioned resource. So, you don’t have to struggle in Gambit like you do for Last Dollar or sweat in the Trials like with Igneous Hammer, but simply hand over weapon parts.
However, luck plays a role with Banshee. So, plan on having several thousand weapon master materials available before you receive the weapon – for the desired roll, it can take even more. I had to let go of almost 6,000 weapon parts before I obtained a strong roll on the second specimen. But due to RNG, the experience can vary significantly here. One of my buddies received a total of 6 specimens after just about 4,000 weapon master materials. Another had not received a single one after about 5,000.
Stats of True Prophecy
The perk pool of True Prophecy
For comparison: The perk pool of Last Dollar
What makes the weapon so good? Aside from the currently powerful archetype and the relatively low effort involved with the weapon (provided you have enough weapon parts), True Prophecy offers strong base stats and a comparatively small perk pool.
However, it contains strong favorites like Improved Projectiles, Targeting Adjuster, Opening Shot, or Rampage. You then combine these with other strong perks like Charged to Perfection, Frenzy, or Elemental Capacitor. This makes it theoretically easier to obtain a strong roll – especially compared to, for example, the countless combination possibilities of a Bottom Dollar.
Did you have an eye on this weapon in Season 13, and if so – what are your experiences with it? Will you now try your luck with Banshee? Or do you think nothing of this gem? Let us and other readers at MeinMMO know in the comments.

Battlefield 6 is supposed to be released in 2021. However, not much is known yet. Now, two well-known insiders claim to know when the multiplayer shooter will be officially presented. MeinMMO summarizes the information for you.
Which insiders are involved? Anyone who has been following the news about Battlefield 6 should be familiar with the names Jeff Grubb and Tom Henderson. Both are considered industry insiders and have previously provided accurate information about Battlefield 6. Now, both have commented on when the next major installment after Battlefield 5 is finally expected to be officially revealed.
This is the timeframe: In a live stream on YouTube, Jeff Grubb responded to a fan’s question, stating that the presentation of Battlefield 6 is expected to take place in May. He indicates that nothing is final yet. However, his statement is supported by Tom Henderson on Twitter, who even gets more specific. He believes Battlefield 6 will be presented on May 7:

Why is it supposed to be May? Unfortunately, Henderson does not provide any further information beyond his tweet. Grubb also does not mention specific names or information for his sources, which is typical for industry insiders.
He at least provides an assessment. It is likely that the next Battlefield will be presented before the E3 period. Since the fair usually starts in June, only April and May remain.
The E3 was, until the Corona crisis, the largest gaming fair in the world. However, it was canceled in 2020. In its place, digital events were held. Many publishers like Electronic Arts quickly started their own events, focusing on their own lineup. In 2021, E3 will also be exclusively a digital event.
This also fits with EA’s official statements that the next Battlefield is expected to be presented in spring 2021.
When is the next Battlefield supposed to be released? According to publisher Electronic Arts, they are on schedule and want to release Battlefield 6 for Christmas 2021. Recently, the developers from DICE have been supported by the studio Criterion Games, known for the racing game series Burnout, some Need-For-Speed installments, and involvement in Star Wars: Battlefront 2. A specific date has not yet been announced.
The rumors about Battlefield 6
What else is known? According to another insider report by Tom Henderson, published in January, it is suggested that the setting will be oriented towards Battlefield 3. If the information is confirmed, it will be a modern military shooter.
EA also states in their quarterly report from February 2, 2021, that the maps are expected to be significantly larger than in previous installments. Additionally, there are rumors of increased destruction physics and higher player counts.

A golden set in Hearthstone is not enough for you? Blizzard is taking it up a notch and introducing diamond cards – but they are expensive.
If you want to show off not just your skill but also your collection in Hearthstone, you create the entire deck from golden cards. These cards have special animations, sparkle beautifully, and are attention-grabbing in every way. However, with the next expansion “Forged in the Barrens”, there will be cards that go beyond the golden status. These are the diamond cards.
What makes diamond cards so special? Essentially, diamond cards resemble golden cards, but they significantly enhance the visual appeal. For one, the diamond-edged border is quite eye-catching and is sure to attract attention. At the same time, the diamond card has a cool animation, similar to golden cards. Additionally, the figures also “pop out of the card” and thus extend beyond the space of the card. This popping out and the animation continues when the card is on the battlefield.
A small animation showing how the diamond cards look in the game has been released by Blizzard in this short clip.
How do you get diamond cards? Since there are only a few diamond cards with each expansion, they will be linked to specific challenges or simply in-game purchases.
Diamond card “Blade Master Samuro” is available with the purchase of the Tavern Pass from Forged in the Barrens. So it is directly behind a paywall.
Diamond card Bru’kan is available if you complete all 5 stages of the achievement “Legendary Collector” from Forged in the Barrens. To do this, you need to own all legendary cards from the new set (15 in total).
By the way, diamond cards cannot be disenchanted. You won’t receive any dust for them, and they are therefore practically “forever” in your collection.
Do diamond cards have a gameplay advantage? No. Just like the distinction between regular and golden cards, diamond cards are solely about aesthetics and the right to show off a bit. The cards have exactly the same stats as their non-diamond variants.
What do you think of the new diamond cards? A cool, stylish addition? Or was this new card type unnecessary?
YouTuber Brandon Tan is likely known to many players of Pokémon GO, and for many he is even considered the best trainer in the world. He has now reached the limit for experience points. However, this led to a strange bug.
However, he is not uncontroversial. In 2018, Brandon offered a capture service in which other players sent him their account information so that he could catch certain Pokémon for a fee. He also openly admitted to having multiple accounts, which violates the rules set by developer Niantic. At one point, he was even banned.
Now he is presumably the first player to have reached the limit for maximum experience points. However, the result was different than Brandon expected. When he hit the limit, an error occurred that left him quite confused, as he states in his video: “I broke Pokémon GO.”

What happened? As he states in his video, Brandon recently reached the XP cap of around 2.1 billion experience points. More specifically: at 2.147.483.647 XP.
How do we know that this is the limit? There is no official number from Niantic regarding this. But since he reached the limit, his XP account is suddenly in the negative. Specifically, at minus around 2.1 billion XP. Every time he completes an activity that earns XP now, the negative decreases by the corresponding amount.
In other words: to again reach the XP maximum, he would need to collect over 4 billion experience points. It took him nearly 5 years to reach the current cap.
How could this error occur? As Brandon Tan shows in his video, the number 2.147.483.647 is indeed not a coincidence. Developer Niantic apparently built a 32-bit integer into Pokémon GO that counts certain values, such as experience points.
Such integers are used in many games and other programs. But the highest number that a 32-bit integer can represent is 2.147.483.647. Reaching this value in Pokémon GO has likely led to this error.
What does this number mean? An expert explained to us: a bit, or “binary digit”, is in information technology a state that can take on two values – binary, that is. All possibilities that can be generated with a number of n bits is 2n.
An integer is roughly a data type in computer science that can display a certain number. The maximum is therefore 2(n-1)-1. In a 32-bit system, this corresponds to 231-1 – or 2.147.483.647. In computer science, counting starts at 0, not 1, which is why 1 is subtracted.
YouTube had fun with 32-bit integer in 2014
What happened? Many of you may remember the then Korean hit “Gangnam Style” by Psy. This video caused YouTube’s viewer count to go crazy in 2014 at a viewer number of 2.147.483.647 .
As a result, YouTube allegedly had to replace the 32-bit integer of the then system with a 64-bit integer that can track numbers up to a value of 9.223.372.036.854.775.808.
However, it later turned out that it was merely a deliberately placed Easter egg by YouTube. They had already switched the integer from 32-bit to 64-bit months earlier (via variety.com). Perhaps developer Niantic can solve the problem with a similar upgrade.

In the tactical shooter Rainbow Six Siege, a new season has begun. It brings numerous innovations but also changes that make the (re-)entry particularly rewarding right now. Additionally, there is a new operator and a battle pass full of skins and more.
Why is it particularly worthwhile to join now? On March 16, the new season 1 of year 6 in Rainbow Six Siege: Crimson Heist started. With this, some operators in the game are now cheaper, which were previously quite expensive:
Lion and Finka now cost only 10,000 reputation or 240 R6 Credits each
Mozzie and Gridlock now cost only 15,000 reputation or 360 R6 Credits each
Oryx and Iana now cost only 20,000 reputation or 480 R6 Credits each
The smallest credit bundle includes 600 credits for €4.99
Especially Mozzie is one of the operators that novices should look out for. Although he is a bit more complicated to play, he is often used even at higher ranks. With his ability, he can take control of attackers’ drones, which gives defenders a huge advantage – firstly, because attackers lose their drone, and secondly, because defenders get mobile reconnaissance. Defenders usually do not have drones.
Iana and Finka are also strong operators, but they are rarely used. According to the developers’ overview for season 1 of year 6, they are considered ‘played too little but too strong’ (via Ubisoft).
Players new to the game or returning after a break can now earn and learn these three operators faster. Furthermore, the “Newcomer game list” has been revised. It now features five of the most popular maps from Rainbow Six with only two bomb locations, making them easier to learn:
This is included in the new season: The developers revealed the contents of the new season in a video back in February. We have embedded the gameplay with the new features for you here:

What can the new operator do? Flores is presumably the biggest and most important change in the new season and the first openly gay operator of Rainbow Six. The former thief hails from Argentina and brings a new dynamic to the game.
Flores’ ability is the FGS-Ratero charge, a bomb mounted on a drone. He can place it and then control it remotely for a few seconds. After the time is up or upon reactivation, the drone anchors itself, becomes bulletproof, and explodes shortly thereafter.
With the explosion, Flores can destroy enemy gadgets or wooden walls, as well as lure enemies out of cover. The explosion timer is long enough for a defender to still escape, but it drives them out of hiding or kills them if they stand too close.
Flores has access to the assault rifle AR33 and the DMR SR-25. This makes him particularly strong at medium to longer distances, especially when he clears the way with his drones in advance.
The new Battle Pass of Crimson Heist
In addition to the gameplay changes, a new battle pass with 100 tiers comes with Rainbow Six. For the first time in the history of the game, the new operator is included in this pass instead of being in a year pass for the whole year.
The battle pass also includes some stylish skins. These are inspired by Flores, who was an active master thief before his time at Rainbow. Therefore, some operators get stylish gangster skins that slightly resemble GTA Vice City. You can see the skins in the embedded trailer here:

The battle pass costs 1,200 R6 Credits (equivalent to €9.99) or as a bundle with the first twelve tiers of the pass for 2,400 R6 Credits (equivalent to €19.99). By purchasing, you automatically unlock Flores along with his “Polarized” skin.
As the new season has just started, even newcomers now have a good chance to get involved. Rainbow Six Siege is playable on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, as well as on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Rank 5 – Trick2G
Who is Trick2G? Timothy “Trick2G” Foley is an American born in 1984. He published his first video about LoL on October 29, 2010. It was the second video uploaded to the channel.
Over the years, meme and shooter videos were occasionally released, but League of Legends clearly dominates his channel by a wide margin. He even played professionally in between, participating in the North American Challenger Series in 2016, 2017, and 2019.
Trick2G is especially known for the champions Nasus (in the picture) and Udyr.
What kind of videos about LoL does he show? His channel features almost daily highlights of LoL. It is mainly about him introducing to the viewers “his way of playing LoL”:
Trick2G is known for playing champions on the Top lane or in the Jungle that are very tanky and simultaneously deal a lot of damage.
This often puts him in precarious situations, which he comments on quite loudly.
Many of them end well, while others end catastrophically. Trick2G often plays with new accounts in lower leagues to dominate there.
The highlights of various games made by external people are mainly meant for entertainment.
His editors like to tease him with meme inserts and crazy thumbnails.
Overall, he uses a very aggressive and offensive language, with ridiculous sounds censoring his words for YouTube.
These are his stats:
Trick2G has 1.17 million subscribers on YouTube
His videos have been viewed over 480 million times in total.
9 videos have already accumulated more than 1 million views
Besides YouTube, Trick2G is also active on other platforms. On Twitch, where he streams almost daily, he has 1.5 million followers.

Steam has banned Super Seducer 3. It describes itself as a “seduction game.” Valve cited that real people are seen in “explicit sexual images” as the reason. However, the decision is met with disbelief by many, as they claim there are much worse games on Steam.
The game Super Seducer 3 was already on the Steam wishlist of nearly 62,000 users and was even available for trial on the platform in February 2021. But now Steam has informed the developers that their title will be permanently banned.
The support stated that “no explicit sexual images of real people” are shown on Steam. Steam and the developers have apparently been in discussions about this for some time.
There have already been several attempts to get approval on the platform, but the content was apparently still too sexual.
Richard La Ruina, one of the developers of the game, criticizes Steam and claims that they were promised approval or feedback, but no permanent ban. He expresses his disappointment on Twitter that there will be no further review opportunity:

What kind of game is this anyway? In Super Seducer 3, the goal is to “pick up” a woman using various dialogue options. There are cautious, but also very direct ways to approach women.
What’s particularly noteworthy is that the entire game was filmed with real people and is categorized as FMV (Full Motion Video). You are essentially playing real people who have executed these conversations and actions.
A demo provided a glimpse into the game in February 2021. In it, you do not execute the sexual act yourself; instead, the game ends beforehand, and the developer reveals whether you would have been successful or rejected, also giving tips on how to improve.
There are also interjections where the women are seen wearing very revealing and explicit sexual outfits. These are available in a censored and an uncensored version.
What is being criticized? Super Seducer 3 is the new installment in a series. The previous games also sparked controversial discussions. The focus was primarily on how women are treated, which was described as “creepy and disrespectful” towards women.
In the dialogues, there are often options that are very direct and objectify women
There are also creepy options such as following women into the changing room
Even intrusive suggestions about women’s behavior are part of the game
An example option in the first part is: “If you can’t cook well, hopefully you can […] suck well.” Under this title, the game was already heavily criticized by Vice in 2018. For this, the game was also banned by PlayStation in 2018.
The developer Richard La Ruina himself is also under criticism for making sexist and negative public statements regarding #MeToo. (via gamesindustry).
On the other hand, there is also a group that insists that such a game shows men their disgusting behavior. They should learn from it and do better in the future.
Despite the criticism, the game seems to have an audience. The first part of the series sold over 125,000 copies in the first weeks, as NplusX reports.
This type of dialogue has been criticized by many (Image via Vice).
Real people are the issue for Steam
How is the ban being reacted to? The Steam ban is currently being heavily discussed in various communities (as of March 21, 09:30 AM):
The developer’s tweet has already been retweeted more than 700 times and received several hundred replies.
In the subreddit LivestreamFail, the tweet was once at the top of the main page and has now received over 11,000 upvotes and over 1,000 comments.
Also in the “Games-reddit”, a thread was long at the top with over 5,000 upvotes and over 1,000 comments.
In the comments and on Twitter, many express the opinion that there are already far worse games on Steam that sexualize content more. The only difference is that they feature drawn or animated characters.
It seems, however, that real people are the crux of the matter for Steam.
Both on Twitter and on reddit, there are voices that find the game itself tasteless and unnecessary. But only a minority agrees with the ban on Steam.
Censored version of part 3 was already successful on Twitch
In February 2021, a demo of Super Seducer 3 could be played during the Steam Game Festival. It was available in both a censored and an uncensored version.
Some people on Twitch, including the largest streamer Pokimane and xQc, played the game live at an average of 30,000 to 78,000 viewers. For them, it had no consequences because the “sensitive scenes” were censored from the start. This version was not a hindrance for Twitch, where nude skin is always a problem,.
Many commentators see an important point in this. If there is already a version that works on Twitch, it should definitely not be a problem on Steam.
However, streamer Pokimane made it clear in her stream how incredibly uncomfortable many of the dialogue options are:

Pokimane questions the dialogues of Super Seducer 3 during her stream
The two predecessors Super Seducer and Super Seducer 2 have been available on Steam for years and remain playable even after the ban of the third part.
What’s next for the game? Richard La Ruina has already announced via Twitter that they want to distribute the game through other channels and bring it to the people.
How problematic nudity can be on Twitch is shown by the story of body painter “Delightfully Dani.” She claims to adhere to regulations and was still banned, while other streamers are much more revealing: Twitch permanently bans body painter: ‘I am losing my livelihood’.

In FIFA 21 there are plenty of players you can acquire. We will take a look at some strong candidates for no more than 150,000 coins.
What kind of list is this? In this list, you will find 10 players who cost no more than 150,000 coins in Ultimate Team. That’s quite a lot, but you can quickly save up such an amount of coins through smart trading as well as from the rewards of Division Rivals or Weekend League Rewards. You can find cards for smaller budgets here:
By now there are many players who have fallen from significantly higher price ranges into this category – so these are really good cards. Recently, some event cards were also introduced that are worth a look.
Of course, it always depends on what kind of team or formation you are playing and which players fit into the squad. That’s why we have selected players for different positions. So you won’t find the 10 best center-backs here, but a mix of players who can take your team to the next level.
Daniel Wass (What If)
Cost: approx. 110,000 coins
What makes Wass special: Daniel Wass is the epitome of a versatile midfielder. The Dane has stats that are all over 80, making him a true chameleon. He is ideal for La Liga teams that need a ball-winner in the midfield who can also handle the ball.
Interestingly, the What-If card of the midfielder still has the option for a 2-point upgrade. This could raise him to a total of 88, making him even stronger.
What makes Berchiche special: We stay directly in La Liga and with the What-If cards, as Yuri Berchiche is also one of the exciting players from the event available for under 150,000 coins.
The left-back has very high pace and good defensive stats. At the same time, the high attacking work rate and good dribbling and passing skills pose a threat in attack. However, the 89-rated left-back cannot get any more upgrades – he has already received one.
Virgil van Dijk (Gold)
Cost: approx. 130,000 coins
What makes van Dijk special: Virgil van Dijk started the FIFA 21 season at over 500,000 coins and recently dropped below 150,000. The reason is quite obvious: The Dutchman is not a hidden gem, but one of the best center-backs in the game.
By now, he is likely more of an option for many players than at the beginning, as he is now significantly cheaper. If you equip him with a Shadow chemistry style, he offers everything you need in central defense.
Mohamed Salah (Gold)
Cost: approx. 140,000 coins
What makes Salah special: The Liverpool player excels on the right wing with a lot of pace, very good positional play, and a strong finish. In terms of dribbling, Salah is also very well positioned, which allows him to easily cut inside.
He has also recently dropped below the 150,000-coin mark and should be an exciting player if you want to upgrade your wing. Do you need someone for the other side? Then the next player is a good option.
Sadio Mané (Gold)
Cost: approx. 115,000 coins
What makes Mané special: Sadio Mané completes the Liverpool trio, which has now dropped in price to attract more players. He is also equipped with a 90 rating, which includes great stats for pace and dribbling. His finishing is also not to be underestimated.
Additionally, he has four stars in skills as well as on his weak foot.
On the next page, you will find 5 more options from the Premier League, Serie A, and Bundesliga.

A monster stands out in Pokémon GO this month, and many trainers may not have it on their radar: Meltan! We reveal to you why this mysterious monster is the Pokémon of the month.
You can earn up to 6 XL Candies per Meltan and additionally the 3 regular candies. Since you receive Meltan through the mystery box anyway, where you can easily catch at least 60 Meltan, you quickly gather plenty of XL Candies.
If things go really well, you can already gather enough candies and XL Candies with just 2 mystery boxes to push Meltan from level 1 to level 50. However, keep in mind that you can only obtain XL Candies starting from level 40. Before that, you only get regular candies.
This is the story of Meltan: The mysterious Pokémon first appeared in 2018 in Pokémon GO. It initially appeared in droves during the Community Day with Cyndaquil right after the event. Back then, it transformed into Ditto, but shortly after, Niantic officially introduced Meltan.
Meltan originates from the 8th generation and was meant to establish the connection between Pokémon GO and the then-new Let’s GO games.
Meltan in Pokémon GO – Benefits from XL Candies
How can you get Meltan? The mysterious Pokémon appears once through a special research task. After that, you can only get it via the mystery box. There are currently 2 ways to get it:
You trade a Pokémon from Pokémon GO to the Switch game Let’s GO, Eevee/Pikachu
You connect with the new cloud service Pokémon Home. If you interact there, you will also receive a mystery box for Meltan
The mystery box works similarly to incense. When you use it, a kind of aura surrounds you, attracting Meltan for one hour. No other Pokémon will be attracted, allowing you to catch Meltan in a relaxed manner during those 60 minutes.
If you do not have Pokémon Home or the Switch game Let’s GO, Eevee/Pikachu, you can also connect with a friend’s Switch game. You will also need to transfer a Pokémon there to receive the mystery box.
This is how it went for me this month: I personally activated a mystery box right after the change with the XL Candies. In doing so, I received a full 6 XL Candies for each Meltan. As a result, I now have a proud 360 XL Candies after just one mystery box. More than enough to evolve Melmetal to level 50.
If I compare this to other Pokémon and the opportunities to earn XL Candies there, it’s a stark difference. Here, I have to catch hundreds of monsters of a type to get enough XL Candies. The hour of effort with Meltan is simply incomparable.
Meltan is attracted by the mystery box – I recently snagged loads of XL Candies.
Is Meltan worth it at all? Meltan can evolve into Melmetal and thus become a very strong Pokémon. Melmetal is particularly useful in the PvP League and can also be used against Team Rocket bosses with the right moves.
However, in raids, there are better alternatives to Melmetal. However, you can also use it quite well as a gym defender. There, a specimen at level 50 is even stronger and takes more damage.
What else is happening this month? Regardless of Meltan, there is currently much to discover in Pokémon GO. In March, you can expect new shinies, events, raid, and spotlight hours. A detailed plan of all events and which of them are worth it can be found here:
An individual skin for your character is standard in many multiplayer games today – Call of Duty: Warzone is no exception. But how much does it actually cost to buy all the skin bundles in the Warzone database? Reddit has calculated it and MeinMMO shows you the results.
Simply choosing a game character in an online game is no longer enough for many players today. At least a stylish skin for your character is a must. Especially in games that can accompany you for a long time like Call of Duty: Warzone. It is almost mandatory not to be passed around as a noob “No-Skin” in the lobbies.
Skins are viewed as a significant source of revenue. Therefore, the selection of skins continues to grow unabated – this also applies to Warzone. Currently, there are 707 skin bundles in the Warzone database, many of which are available in the shop on a rotating basis, pushing operator skins, weapon blueprints, talismans, and other nifty digital items into your inventory in exchange for CoD Points.
A user on Reddit has now calculated how much it would cost if you want to buy all the bundles. MeinMMO shows you the background and what problems some skins bring in Warzone.
Warzone: Skin bundles cost a total of 788,700 CoD Points
How much do all skin bundles from Warzone cost? According to the user’s calculation, you need 788,700 CoD Points to acquire all purchasable bundles in the Warzone database. This amounts to about €6,230 if you purchase the points through the PS Store without any offers. (As of: March 17, 2021)
How is the calculation made up? The Reddit user “LackingAGoodName” published his diligent work on Reddit along with a graphic of the different price levels of the bundles:

The graphic shows how many bundles are available for a specific price. You can check the data basis on cod.tracker.gg. The tracker accesses the Warzone database directly and lists all bundles with purchase price and contents. LackingAGoodName noted all prices, summed them up, and arrived at 788,700 CoD Points for 707 bundles that deliver you 3,431 items.
If we assume the total price of €6,230, the following average prices result:
Skins bring visual variety, but sometimes also problems
In the history of Call of Duty, skins play a special role. Initially just nice rewards for gameplay challenges, over time a loot box system developed that likely peaked with Black Ops 4, the CoD from 2018. There were plenty of different boxes that you could unlock, but also buy for real money.
Here you “won” skins through the loot boxes, some of which were really crazy. However, you could not use them if the base item had not been drawn yet. So if you had a really good skin for a strong weapon but not the cosmetic base item, the reward was useless.
Black Ops 4 took it to the extreme – with loot boxes and crazy skins
With the release of Modern Warfare Black Ops 4 made the loot system clearly fairer and in CoD MW the developers completely dispensed with it. Instead, there is now a “Battle Pass” system and purchasable skin bundles that show you exactly what you get.
Cosmetics are not just bad. They bring color and variety to the game, provide motivation when you can unlock some, and allow you to give your characters a personal touch. With the absence of loot boxes, Call of Duty has become significantly fairer in this regard and even offers a Battle Pass that allows you to earn some CoD Points if you play enough.
Skins may not be the salt in the soup of every video game. But the eye also eats, and some cosmetics are just so good that it is hard to argue against them. But what do you think? Participate in our poll and tell us your opinion on skins in Call of Duty in the comments.

In Destiny 2, the latest update has made a convenience in the Deep Stone Crypt raid impossible. At least for an hour, then players found a new glitch. We will show you how to access the hidden chest in Season 13 without fearing frostbite.
This is what the glitch is about: In the Deep Stone Crypt raid from Beyond Light , it has almost become the norm to skip the pre-phase and become immune to the cold there. This worked through a glitch that was easy to execute.
Update 3.1.1 has now made the popular and often-used method impossible.
In any case, it was impossible for an hour, and after such a short time, Guardians found a new trick, almost in the same spot.
MeinMMO shows you here why Guardians love glitching so much and how that works now in Season 13.
That’s why it’s so popular: The glitch is used to easily access a hidden raid chest solo. It contains Conqueror loot, a resource that allows players to shop for Exotics at the Tower kiosk. This is the only way to still obtain the powerful raid Exotics from the past – since Bungie has removed the raids and their loot from the game.
Many Guardians also use the frostbite protection to make the pre-phase in the raid easier, allowing them to get to the actual action of the first encounter more quickly. In good clans, there is usually a Guardian who takes care of this alone while the rest of the team gathers and adjusts their loadouts.
Bungie closes a loophole and the Guardians find 2 new ones
Only an hour after Bungie made the previously used method impossible, clever Guardians came up with a new way to bypass the annoying frostbite debuff. What’s curious is that the fix is not mentioned in the official patch notes (via Bungie.net).
This sound familiar? Rightly so! At the beginning of 2021, Bungie fixed a similar glitch that made players permanently immune to the frostbite debuff. Just a short time later, Guardians crafted the technique used until March 16. On January 21, MeinMMO reported on this.
How it works in Season 13: We assume you are familiar with the original glitch methods. You still use your Sparrow to maintain immunity. However, this time you have to leave the area just before the gate to the snowy region.
Here you jump through the ceiling, then go left – you see the gate surrounding it
This is easy to do by jumping to the spot shown in the image. Exactly where the ceiling is a bit higher. Here you glide through the seemingly solid ice layer and suddenly find yourself above the area.
Make your way a few meters to the left from here until you get the frostbite debuff. Park your Sparrow so that it stands right at the edge of the zone that gives you the debuff. Then get on your Sparrow as usual and be immune – even when you dismount.
Now the path becomes a bit more complicated to describe. The exact route you should take as a Warlock can be seen here in this video by Cheese Forever, who also discovered this new glitch:

Pack a rocket launcher or a weapon with “bouncy projectiles” just in case you need to take yourself out. Only, in case you glitch yourself into a tricky situation. We at MeinMMO tried this on March 18, 2021 at 12 PM, and it worked on the first try.
This is how the community reacts: Right on the evening of the update, Guardians discussed that Bungie probably secretly made the glitch impossible (via reddit). One user gave the community 3 hours until they would find a new method. When a new glitch was found after only an hour, it led to some laughter.
It feels like a hopeless battle: the massive video game giant against the little Guardian Davids, who always manage to find a loophole.
Glitching in Destiny: However, Bungie also ensures that players stay on their toes. Unlike companies like Massive with The Division 2, players of Destiny 2 do not receive penalties for exploiting bugs in the game.
Especially in PvE, glitching and exploiting safe spots have a long-standing tradition that dates back to the early days of 2014. This includes everything from unplugged LAN cables to bosses pushed off the map. Just recently, Bungie encouraged Guardians to have fun with the 12-player glitch, which they kept in the game a bit longer.
How do you feel about the fact that Guardians find new loopholes so quickly? Do you think it is slowly easier to play the phase normally than to navigate outside the map? Let us know if you think Bungie has raised Guardians to be glitchers.
The role-playing scene in GTA 5 Online is booming and extremely popular on Twitch. Now the streamer Dr. Disrespect has also watched a role-playing stream and is impressed.
So popular is RP in GTA: In 2019, GTA 5 Online received a significant boost on Twitch. Suddenly, many people started watching the game, and “blame” for that was the role-playing. Big streamers like summit1g or LIRIK tried the role-playing on special RP servers.
Here, you have the opportunity to play criminals, police officers, or normal citizens. You also think up a story for the character you want to embody. An employee in a snack bar, a mail carrier, or classically a criminal posing as an innocent passerby.
The players make an effort to play their characters realistically for the GTA setting. The various events and interactions are coordinated via Discord, and it often leads to funny situations between the players, where they react creatively.
Especially the private GTA RP server NoPixels 3.0 is used by many large streamers to engage in role-playing together. Big streamers like sodapoppin, LIRIK, or forsen are among them. The launch of the NoPixels 3.0 server even caused GTA 5 Online to briefly reach first place on Twitch in February 2021.
What did the Doc say? The popular streamer Dr. Disrespect also watched the RP action in GTA 5 over the stream of the banned xQc and is impressed by the quality of the role-playing.
In a tweet about the RP, the Doc wrote: “I’m currently watching the GTA RP stream from @xQc, trying to understand what’s going on. It’s somehow addictive to watch. The voice acting talent and various characters, and how it all thrives in real-time… impressive. There should be a kind of GTA RP show to keep people updated.”

In the comments under the tweet, fans agreed with him. Some of them even encouraged the Doc to start role-playing in GTA 5 himself, and he might not mind. But unfortunately, that is not possible.

That’s why the Doc can’t participate: Even though Dr. Disrespect seems to have a great interest in GTA role-playing and his community thinks it’s cool, it is not possible for him to participate in the RP. Since June 2020, the streamer has been banned on Twitch and has essentially been rendered an outcast.
Not only is the Doc not allowed to stream on Twitch himself, he also cannot appear in other people’s streams. This regulation is meant to prevent people from circumventing their account bans and appearing on other channels.
Even the streamer Esfand, who participates in the RP, expressed his regret that Dr. Disrespect cannot join. He wrote: “I wish you could play with us. It’s super funny, and the viewers love it. It’s a game that really shows how much natural creativity and ingenuity some people have.”

It is another problem arising from Dr. Disrespect’s ban on Twitch. The streamer has already admitted on YouTube that he is struggling with the ban and has real problems with it. But as long as the ban situation around the Doc continues, it will remain that way. Currently, there are no signs that Twitch might reverse his ban.
