WoW: A group of players used the auction house too intensely, Blizzard intervenes

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

In World of Warcraft, some players criticized that the auction house had suddenly become slower. This was apparently intentional: Blizzard wants to combat unfair advantages.

This is the problem: Several players in the official WoW forum reported a noticeably slower auction house. These players, according to their own statements in the forum, used addons like TradeSkillMaster (TSM) to quickly perform numerous transactions in the auction house.

The TradeSkillMaster is a powerful addon that allows for quickly farming gold in WoW. However, this is now noticeably slower – and it is not a bug, as some players initially thought.

Those who used addons for gold collection in the auction house will likely need more time now.

The auction house now has an action budget

This is what Blizzard says: In a forum post about the issue, Community Manager Kaivax explains that a new hotfix was implemented, which has led to this slowdown.

With this, they aim to slow down constant traders in the auction house. There is “an imbalance between the vast majority and a very small minority of players,” explains Kaivax. This small minority accounts for the majority of the activity in the auction house.

These are players who use automated processes through addons to create “an economic competitive advantage over other players.” Additionally, this behavior burdens the performance of the game.

This is Blizzard’s solution: Through the hotfix, all players effectively receive a budget of auction house actions per minute. The slowdown kicks in when this is exceeded.

This budget is designed in such a way that it does not affect players who use the auction house within a normal scope. “For most players, it should be virtually impossible to reach the new limits,” explains Kaivax. However, it is the players who execute quick queries with addons and buy and sell large quantities of items who will be throttled.

They are now waiting for feedback: Should the rules prove to be too strict, a relaxation is conceivable.

If you are not too upset about the slowed auction house, you can already look forward to WoW: Shadowlands. Some already deceased characters will make a comeback there.

Fortnite: Cars are a highlight in Season 3 – But no one can drive

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The cars of Season 3 in Fortnite are one of the highlights. But driving doesn’t work. When can you zoom around the map?

This was announced: On June 17, Season 3 of Chapter 2 in Fortnite: Battle Royale began. At the start of the season, there were already some new features and content.

In the Battle Pass trailer for Season 3, it says “During your adventure, there will be new areas to explore, new means of transportation, and cool surprises.” During this sentence, the video shows various cars driving across the map. Among them is a pickup truck with a loading area where presumably teammates can sit.

Fortnite Season 3 Chapter 2 Battle Pass Cars 3

Why can’t you drive cars in Fortnite?

This is the problem: While the vehicles have already been spotted at various locations on the new map, no one can drive them yet. A large part of the map has been flooded.

Fortnite-season-3-map
On the Fortnite map, there is currently a lot of water

For the cars, there are currently few ways to zoom around with them. Besides, you currently can’t even get in. Your means of transport are currently sharks or boats.

When can you drive cars? It seems that it will take weeks before driving in Fortnite will be unlocked.

Recognized leakers from the Fortnite community state that the water will gradually lower over the course of Season 3. This would theoretically rule out sharks and boats as mobility aids. Only then would the vehicles become attractive.

This also matches the statement from Epic Games themselves. They write on their website: “Over time, the water level will lower and more places will be revealed. As new paths open up to you, you will also be able to travel them in new ways …” (via epicgames.com)

Until that happens, you can already get acquainted with the new skins and cosmetics from Season 3 in Fortnite. There are some cool accessories like a comet and costumes like Aquaman. Are you excited to drive cars in Fortnite, or did you prefer other means of transportation?

CoD Warzone: Victory Without Firearms – Streamers Show Genius Teamwork

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

The YouTuber “Vikkstar123” has impressively proven in Call of Duty: Warzone that you can win an entire match using only the Kali sticks. We show you how he did it.

What it’s about: In the Warzone, you can now use Kali sticks. This is a melee weapon that allows you to beat down your opponents. However, you need to get close enough to the enemy, and at a distance, they have a clear advantage with a firearm.

The Kali sticks are not as bad in the Warzone as one might think. YouTuber Vikkstar123 has shown that you can even achieve a victory with them.

How to win the Warzone only with Kali sticks

This is the video: In Vikkstar123’s YouTube video, you can see the complete round. The clip lasts just under 24 minutes:

How do the players manage that? The team works well together and usually goes for an opponent simultaneously. This prevents the opponent from focusing on a single target and leads to a thorough beating.

Additionally, the players have tactical shields. This allows them to effectively absorb the shots from the enemies in front of them and keep themselves safe. The shield also provides protection from behind when stowed away.

The team’s playstyle was very defensive. They hid together in houses and evacuated by helicopter. They only attacked when they were under fire and at the end, when they had to go for the last kill.

In the end, the players celebrated their victory loudly and shouted with joy. According to the kill count, there were a total of 11 kills for the entire team. The main reason for the victory was likely the strong teamwork, as only with it could they ambush their opponents.

Are there more challenges like this? In May, a shield squad in Modern Warfare caused a stir. They cornered an enemy with their shields and left him with no chance. The result showed that tactical shields can be really tough.

Another player achieved an incredible goal. He threw a knife into the air at the start of each round on every map in Modern Warfare and hit opponents at the enemy spawn. In a clip, all the kills were compiled, and it looked incredibly easy.

Twitch streamer has seen it all – But a $32,000 donation is too much for him

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

The Twitch streamer Cohh Carnage is considered a veteran on Twitch and is even part of the platform’s Player Council. The 35-year-old has streamed for tens of thousands of hours and has pretty much seen it all. However, a donation of $32,000 for a good cause leaves him speechless.

That was too much for the streamer: During a stream on June 15, Cohh Carnage aimed to raise donations for 4 hours: the recipient was the renowned St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital in the USA.

He is currently taking a short break from Everspace 2 to read the donations he missed. While he confidently reads donations of $5 and $20 and thanks the donors, he suddenly pauses and stares at the screen. It looks from the outside as if the image has frozen.

He says nothing more and first has to make sure that he is seeing correctly.

The clip of a speechless streamer is circulating the web.

In fact, a user donated over $32,000 for the good cause – that’s about €28,500.

Later, when the streamer had collected himself, he said the donation was simply insane. He has been streaming for 7 years now, there is little that can throw him off balance, but this really did it.

After the charity stream, Cohh Carnage expressly thanked his fans. He raised over $230,000 for the children’s hospital in just 4 hours, including two incredibly high individual donations, both exceeding $30,000.

This is the good cause: The St. Jude Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee specializes in fighting cancer in children. No family receives a bill here; the treatment of the children is free. This is quite special in the USA.

St. Jude Hospital is therefore often the target of charity actions on Twitch, where large sums are raised. The streamer DrLupo raised over a million US dollars in December 2019.

CohhCarnage is usually not shaken by anything.

Cohh Carnage – A veteran for PC gaming on Twitch

This is Cohh Carnage: The 35-year-old bearded man (first name: Ben) is something like the “ultimately typical gaming streamer on Twitch.” He has been on the platform since 2011 and can be seen for several hours every day.

While other streamers stand out with a powerful mustache and an even more powerful ego (Dr Disrespect), with an extravagant, particularly refined language (MontanaBlack), or exaggerated aggression (Tfue), Cohh Carnage has made his reliability, helpfulness, and kindness his brand core.

He is so regular on Twitch that he even had a period until April 2019 where he was seen on Twitch for 2000 consecutive days, he streamed that disciplined.

The father of two now has 1.2 million followers on Twitch, making him one of the top 100. On average, the variety streamer entertains 10,000 viewers who watch him play nearly every PC game imaginable, especially online games. CohhCarnage is not specialized in typical Twitch hits, but rather plays online games from the second tier. Recently, he has been spending a lot of time in Terraria or Everquest.

CohhCarnage has seen and played pretty much everything on Twitch. In 2019 he was on air for 2517 hours. This makes his reaction to the $32,000 donation even more impressive.

She is also on the Twitch Safety Council.

CohhCarnage is such a veteran on Steam that he was appointed to the Twitch Safety Council to serve as a prototype of the nice, friendly, helpful gaming streamer. He sits there next to eccentric representatives who sometimes behave like a deer.

This shows how diverse and different the personalities on Twitch are.

Pokémon GO: Galar-Porenta is now available worldwide, but only for a short time

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO Galar-Porenta has suddenly appeared! However, the special Pokémon is only available for a short time – so you should hurry.

What’s new? If you check your “Pokémon GO” app now, you’ll likely see some shadows in the Nearby List. These are Galar-Porenta, the Galar form of the regional Pokémon from Generation 1.

Pokémon GO is celebrating the release of the first DLC from Pokémon Sword and Shield, but the festivities last only 24 hours.

Everything you need to know about Galar-Porenta

How long will the Pokémon stay? This Galar form will only be in the game for 24 hours according to Niantic. Tomorrow, on June 18 at 3:00 PM, Galar-Porenta will disappear again.

So you should hurry if you want to secure this special Pokémon. It is not known if and when Galar-Porenta will return.

Why should you secure it? Porenta is normally a regional Pokémon and only appears in certain regions of Asia. You now have 24 hours to secure the regional Pokémon in its special form.

Furthermore, Galar-Porenta has never been found in the game before. You will encounter a completely new Pokémon.

Developing Porenta – What about Lauchzelot in Pokémon GO?

What about its evolution? Galar-Porenta can usually be evolved into Lauchzelot. However, this evolution does not seem to be available yet.

However, you should secure some candies to have enough for the evolution later.

Lauchzelot

What is Lauchzelot? This Pokémon is brand new and was only introduced into the Pokémon world with Sword and Shield. It is comparable to the Galar evolutions of Mauzi and Zigzachs, which we have already received.

However, it seems that Niantic has a special plan for Lauchzelot, as it is still not available despite the Galar form of Porenta.

Victini and Mega Evolutions are coming to Pokémon GO – This has been revealed

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO the Mega Evolutions are coming soon! This type of evolution was officially introduced in the Pokémon Direct stream. Additionally, the mysterious Pokémon Victini will soon appear.

Where does the information come from? The information comes from today’s stream of Pokémon Direct. There, the heads of the Pokémon Company regularly talk about all Pokémon games.

This time, Pokémon GO was also mentioned, and a big announcement was made: Mega Evolutions are coming to Pokémon GO!

Mega Evolutions are coming in 2020

What was said: A short clip was shown that teased the Mega Evolution. The number “2020” was displayed.

Tsunekazu Ishihara, the CEO of the Pokémon Company, then revealed that we will soon get Mega Evolutions in Pokémon GO. However, no further details were provided.

Niantic confirmed these statements and shared the trailer again on Twitter:

What are Mega Evolutions? These evolutions have existed since the 6th generation of Pokémon. Through Mega Evolution, the affected Pokémon temporarily gains a new appearance and new powers. However, this evolution is usually not permanent, but only lasts for a limited time.

Not every Pokémon has a Mega Evolution. Currently, there are 46 Pokémon in Pokémon GO that could receive one.

Victini is coming – For the GO Fest?

What was revealed: A shadow of Victini appeared in the stream. This is a mysterious Pokémon from the 5th generation. The image appeared next to the logo of the GO Fest 2020.

Ishihara then revealed that Victini will also appear in 2020. He did not mention a specific date.

GO Fest Victini

Is it coming to the GO Fest? This is quite realistic. Niantic has already announced a mysterious Pokémon for the GO Fest 2020. Trainers have suspected that it could be Shaymin, but Victini would also fit in.

However, we will likely only learn more information about this in the coming days. The fact is that we will definitely see Victini in 2020.

LoL: Professional makes mistake before the match starts, must pay monthly salary as a penalty

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

In the League of Legends, a Chinese LoL pro was harshly punished by his team. The jungler Yan “Wei” Yang-Weit (17) had forgotten to select the summoner spell Smite before the match. His team punished him by withholding a month’s salary.

This was the mistake: The jungler forgot to select the summoner spell “Smite” before the match and instead started with “Ignite.”

The summoner spell “Smite” is what actually makes a normal LoL champ a jungler:

  • Only those with Smite can purchase crucial “Jungle Items” that are essential for effectively killing the PvE opponents in the jungle while regenerating health points
  • With Smite, you can also take down PvE opponents
  • Without Smite, effective jungling is nearly impossible, especially not in low-level play
League of Legends victorious Graves
Wei played the cigar-smoking brawler Graves.

This is how the match went: It was a league match between eStar (currently ranked 12th in the LPL) and Bilibili Gaming (ranked 14th), it was a duel in the lower half of the league, where 17 teams compete against each other.

When Wei’s team noticed the mistake, they tried to convince the referee to call off the match and order a rematch where the jungler would then choose Smite. However, the referee refused.

The team resolved to play particularly well now, to act as a team, seek out team fights, and make up for the jungler’s mistake. They reassured themselves that it was not such a big deal.

In a Twitter clip with English subtitles, you can read and see how eStar’s team dealt with the situation and tried to motivate themselves.

But even though the team performed quite well, the disadvantage from the jungler was too great. They lost the first match in 33 minutes.

Their own jungler Wei had a score of 2/6/12 and was two levels behind the opposing jungler. The jungler without Smite was clearly a vulnerability.

In the second game of the “Best of Three” series, Wei as a jungler (with Smite) turned it around, was able to dominate the match, and won for his team. Wei also played well in match 3, but eStar lost the match and the series despite his good performance.

Team withholds one month’s salary

This is the punishment: Although jungler Wei apologized to his teammates and coaches, he was harshly punished.

The team announced that they would deduct his salary for one month and express criticism to avoid such mistakes in the future.

In China, life as a LoL pro is tough, as a report from CNN in January 2020 reveals about the dark side of eSports. Performance is absolutely in focus, competition for the few pro spots is fierce, and careers are short.

Dota-2-Fail-1-1140x445
He also made a terrible mistake before the match.

Players often make mistakes in MOBAs, but for someone to make such a blunder before the match starts like Wei is rare. Even worse, a DOTA 2 pro severely failed at character selection on the biggest stage, the tournament “The International,” much to the delight of the opponents and his own dismay:

Pokémon GO has new raid bosses – These 8 are particularly worthwhile

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO there are now new raid bosses to find. We show you the list of new opponents and reveal which raid bosses are particularly worthwhile.

Why are there new raid bosses? Zekrom has entered the legendary raids and has also brought along suitable other raid bosses. These are Pokémon that can be used well as counters against Zekrom.

There are now some interesting counter Pokémon available, and rare shinies are currently available in the raids.

List of raid bosses for Zekrom

This is the list: The Pokémon have been compiled by trainers in the Subreddit of TheSilphRoad. They have all been sighted in raids:

Raid LevelRaid Boss
Level 1 (pink egg)Jurob*
Sheinux*
Praktibalk*
Klikk*
Petznief
Level 2 (pink egg)Alola-Kokowei*
Sniebel*
Kirlia
Flunkifer*
Vibrava
Level 3 (yellow egg)Alola-Digdri
Donphan
Keifel
Azumarill
Alola-Raichu*
Level 4 (yellow egg)Lapras*
Togetic
Stalobor
Galar-Smogmog
Rizeros
Alola-Knogga*
Level 5 (black egg)Zekrom
Zekrom
Some of the Pokémon are good counters against Zekrom.

Which raid bosses are worthwhile? Strong counters against Zekrom include Sniebel, Keifel, and Stalobor. They or their evolutions are among the top counters.

Practibalk is also always useful. Its evolution Meistagrif is one of the best fighting attackers. For PvP, Alola-Raichu, Azumarill, Alola-Knogga, and Togetic are worthwhile. You can find them or their evolutions in our tier lists on the best PvP Pokémon.

The Alola Pokémon are also of interest to shiny hunters. For example, Raichu and Knogga can only be found in raids and are therefore among the rarest shinies in the game.

How long will the raid bosses last? The raid bosses will be available until the end of Zekrom at most. A precise date is not yet known, but one can expect about 3 weeks.

In between, some events will still take place, which may bring different raid bosses for that event period. After that, however, the above-mentioned raid bosses are likely to return.

Fortnite: Map changes for Season 3 – This is what it looks like after the storm

Eilyn Rapp Eilyn Rapp Reading time 3 minutes

In Fortnite Season 3 Chapter 2 has launched and brought some changes to the Fortnite map. A tsunami has largely flooded the map. We show you how the game world looks now.

Here’s what’s happening in Fortnite: The start of Season 3 brought some changes to the map. During the live event at the end of Season 2, a giant tsunami appeared that served as a replacement for the known “storm”.

This tsunami has now likely hit the Fortnite Island, as it has been largely flooded. This has impacted known locations which now look different and a new location has even emerged. Some of these locations could already be seen in the trailer for Season 3.

This is what the Fortnite map looks like now:

Fortnite-season-3-map

A new location on the Fortnite map

Which location is new? A location that hasn’t existed before is: The Fortilla. It is located in the swamp area on the map, but now there are several buildings there. It consists of various little islands, each with a building found on it.

8 known locations that are “new” to discover

If you look at the new Fortnite map, there are once again several locations marked with question marks. This means you can “discover” these “new” places. However, these are not unknown locations.

The Agency – New look and name

What’s different now? The Agency no longer looks like it did before. Instead of white, The Agency now shines in dark colors. It is surrounded by high walls and guard posts.

Additionally, the location has received a new name. It is now called: The Authority. The whole thing looks a bit like a prison.

The Agency is now The Authority

The Rig becomes Rickety Rig

What’s different now? The Rig has not only received a new name, but it also looks completely different now. Once there was a huge building on stilts above the water, and now you can only see individual, small buildings far apart.

The tsunami seems to have hit The Rig hard.

Fortnite-rickety-rig
This is now Rickety Rig

Box Factory becomes Henchmen Hideout

What’s different now? In Season 3, we still can’t get rid of the henchmen. They are now plentiful at “Catty Corner”. This location used to be known as the Box Factory, where the cat Meowscles was banished after Deadpool took over his yacht.

Takedown in Borderlands 3 was too hard, hotfix takes first change

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

The Guardian Takedown in Borderlands 3 has really pushed players to their limits. This caused criticism – to which Gearbox responded with a hotfix.

Unusual timing for a hotfix: Borderlands 3 usually releases a new hotfix or patch every Thursday to address issues or introduce new content. However, the current hotfix came overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday and aims to solve an issue in the Guardian Takedown:

The hotfix is expected to noticeably reduce the health points of enemies in the Guardian Takedown. This should make at least parts of the Takedown easier to handle, as the bullet sponges have given many players quite a hard time. However, that wasn’t the only point of criticism.

Will the Takedown be further changed?

This is the situation: After the Takedown was introduced with the last major patch along with several changes, many players dove into the new challenge, which is intentionally designed to be difficult. But it quickly became clear that the Takedown is quite merciless – apparently too merciless.

In addition to the bullet sponges, players criticized the tough jumping sections with invisible targets. Also, a sequence where crystals need to be charged led to quick deaths because it wasn’t clear that multiple had to be attended to at the same time. There are also plenty of immunity phases in boss fights. Has Gearbox gone too far here?

In any case, the current hotfix might only be the first of several changes. Already over the weekend, the Borderlands 3 Twitter channel announced that “a few adjustments” will be made:

The reduction of enemy health points should, according to the tweet, be the first step. To what extent the rest of the Takedown will be adjusted remains to be seen.

It is possible that the next hotfix, expected to arrive on Thursday, will also deal with the Takedown. By the way, the story will continue in just over a week: the next Borderlands 3 DLC is set to transport you to a Wild West world.

RDR 2 says goodbye to “Racist Cheat”, used by nasty players

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

Cheaters spawned members of the Ku Klux Klan in Red Dead Online, the multiplayer of Red Dead Redemption 2. They harassed other players. Now Rockstar Games has put an end to this racist cheat.

What did hackers do in RDO? When cheaters wreak havoc in Red Dead Online, it can be amusing. They cause two-headed skeletons to appear, which then hunt other players.

In other cases, their behavior is not funny. Like recently, when they spawned members of the Ku Klux Klan in the online world and harassed other players.

How could this happen? The KKK is actually not part of the online world of Red Dead Redemption 2. These characters should only be found in the campaign. The Klan consists of foolish people who accidentally set themselves on fire after a while because they stand too close to the fire with their white sheets. If you want honor in singleplayer, you kill the KKK members.

Cheaters then exploited these characters with mod menus and spawned them in the online world using cheats. A player in the Red Dead Online subreddit reports that such racist content has increased recently. (via reddit)

What this looks like in the game is shown by Twitter user Fanfusuzi. “Someone thinks it’s funny to spawn the KKK in Red Dead Online,” he writes on June 4. Due to the current situation in the USA, he wishes that Rockstar Games would do something about it.

What has Rockstar done about the KKK spawns?

Here’s what happened next: On June 16, Twitter user Tez2, who closely follows updates for RDO and GTA Online, stated that there was a new PC update. “Cheaters can no longer spawn KKK peds and attack other players.”

How did Rockstar do this? Tez2 explains, “It [the game] checks whether you are online. It detects an event that spawns peds. If this ped model matches one of the KKK models, it is immediately deleted.”

This is what Rockstar Games has to say about it: In a statement to Washington Post, Rockstar addressed the incident.

We are aware of some individuals who have used cheat tools to create racist character models and messages in Red Dead Online.

We take these actions very seriously, and in accordance with our guidelines, any form of racist and abusive behavior in the game is not tolerated, and all players who violate these guidelines will be banned.

On June 4, Rockstar Games took the servers of GTA Online and Red Dead Online offline for a few hours. This measure was related to the Black Lives Matter movement. During the time that the servers were unreachable, a memorial service for George Floyd took place.

This stunt creates better vibes in Red Dead Redemption 2. An extreme sleigh ride with a cowboy, which was celebrated by hundreds of thousands of people on reddit. You have to see it.

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 3 minutes

The PS5 design has been revealed and it is said to be quite large. If you want to see how the PS5 will look in your home, all you need is an “Augmented Reality” capable smartphone. With the help of an AR app, you can now try out how the PS5 could look in your home.

Meanwhile, Sony has officially revealed the PS5 design. However, many have now noticed that the design is significantly larger than the design of the PlayStation 4. According to Sony, the size of the PS5 has a good reason.

Many are now wondering whether the new PS5 design will even fit in the living room or TV cabinet. If you have the same concerns, there is a simple trick that allows you to place the design in your living room right now.

How does it work? On Sketchlab, there is an unofficial 3D model of the PlayStation 5. You can move this into your own home using Augmented Reality.

The uploaded model does not come from Sony itself; fans recreated the model based on the presented video.

What do you need for this? With the help of Sketchlab and an AR-capable smartphone, you can easily bring the 3D model into your home. We will explain what you need to pay attention to.

Are you avid PS4 players? Here, we present the best PS4 controllers of 2020.

PS5 Design in your living room? It’s that easy

  • If you are using Android, first check if you have the Google Play services for AR (via play.google.com) installed. You need this if you want to use Augmented Reality fully.
  • iOS users do not need an extra app.
  • Now visit the official page of Sketchlab, where you will find the unofficial 3D model of the PS5.
  • If you open the page with an AR-compatible Android or iOS smartphone, you can now click on AR at the bottom right. The process may take a moment.
  • After that, you scan the possible position for the PS5 in your home. After the scanning process, the 3D model will appear automatically.
  • The process is free; you do not need to purchase the 3D model.
This is what the PS5 looks like in the living room

How do I find out if my smartphone is AR-compatible?

When is my smartphone AR-compatible? Most modern smartphones already support Augmented Reality, but there are a few things you need to pay attention to:

  • On Android, your smartphone must support at least Android 7.0 or newer, otherwise the app cannot be installed.
  • On Apple devices, starting from the iPhone 6 or the Apple iPad Pro from the 5th generation, Augmented Reality is supported. However, make sure that iOS version 11 is installed.

Google has also listed on its official page all smartphones that support Augmented Reality.

Does the PS5 fit in your living room, is it too big, or does it just not fit the design? Share the experiences you have gathered.

Since the reveal of the official design, there has been much discussion about the design of the PlayStation 5. And especially the size of the PS5 could offer a great advantage: With the official PS5 design, Sony could mainly grasp the overheating issue that the PS4 and also the PS4 Pro struggled with.

Blizzard’s current solution against bots in WoW Classic was once an April Fools’ joke

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

The players’ concern is quite clear: the new restrictions will not help but will only lead to bots creating characters on multiple realms. Once they reach the instance limit on one realm, they simply switch realms and continue.

What do you think of Blizzard’s solution? A good decision, April Fool’s joke or not? Or can this not be the answer to bots?

Some, like AlphaTangoFoxtrt, are really angry and explain:

And don’t forget that it only counts per realm. So all the bots have to do is log from realm to realm. This fixes nothing and only punishes the players.

The players’ concern is quite clear: the new restrictions will not help but will only lead to bots creating characters on multiple realms. Once they reach the instance limit on one realm, they simply switch realms and continue.

What do you think of Blizzard’s solution? A good decision, April Fool’s joke or not? Or can this not be the answer to bots?

Blizzard’s approach against bots in WoW Classic is a joke – and literally so. It actually comes from old “April, April” patch notes.

The developers of World of Warcraft Classic have finally taken action against the increasing number of bots and imposed a restriction on them. A maximum of 30 instances can now be accessed per account per day.

However, some players do not find Blizzard’s solution funny at all, as it was actually an April Fool’s joke from 2006.

What was that April Fool’s joke? In the past, Blizzard regularly published “fake patch notes” on April 1st. These contained changes that never made it into the game and were meant to fool players. One of these changes from 2006 reads as follows:

With the many improvements made in the endgame dungeons in the last patch, we have decided that it is necessary to limit the number of dungeons a player can visit per day.

This is done to prevent the economy from being flooded with valuable items and to ensure that players do not earn too much gold in a time period that we consider an appropriate playtime. We understand that many players enjoy their repeated visits to their favorite dungeons, which is why we designed these limits to be as non-restrictive as possible.

Each character on a player’s account can visit the same dungeon up to three times per day and a maximum of 5 dungeons within a 24-hour cycle. Remember that each character on your account is counted individually. With eight characters, that’s a maximum of 40 dungeons per day!

That is quite close to the instance limit that Blizzard has introduced today in WoW Classic to deter bots and cheaters.

Many players do not see Blizzard’s actions as a solution, but rather as a way to continue receiving account fees from the bots.

Here are the differences: Unlike the April Fool’s joke from 2006, the instance limit is not the same. In reality, the limit of 30 instances applies to all characters of an account on the same realm. You can therefore visit up to 30 instances with a single character, and not just 5, as the April Fool’s joke had suggested.

Blizzard had previously made an April Fool’s joke true – and nobody found it funny back then either.

This is how players react: In the WoW Classic subreddit, this find is being discussed vigorously. While some are amused that Blizzard has implemented an April Fool’s joke as an actual solution, many players are irritated. They write things like:

HellenKellersMonocle says: “I don’t know whether to laugh, cry, or be angry about this.”

Some, like AlphaTangoFoxtrt, are really angry and explain:

And don’t forget that it only counts per realm. So all the bots have to do is log from realm to realm. This fixes nothing and only punishes the players.

The players’ concern is quite clear: the new restrictions will not help but will only lead to bots creating characters on multiple realms. Once they reach the instance limit on one realm, they simply switch realms and continue.

2 new weapons leaked for CoD MW and Warzone – Belong to fan favorites

Sascha Asendorf Sascha Asendorf Reading time 2 minutes

Season 4 in Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare has just started and new weapons are already being leaked, which will probably be introduced in the next season. Among them are fan favorites that have appeared multiple times in the CoD franchise.

Here’s what happened: Dataminers constantly search for new information in the game files of CoD. With Season 4, two unreleased weapons have appeared in the files:

  • M200
  • M200_c

Call of Duty leakers have linked these to the Intervention, a sniper rifle. The SPAS-12, a shotgun, has also been in the CoD game files since the end of February. Two weapons that have made many appearances in the Call of Duty franchise and are popular among fans.

This is the SPAS-12: The Franchi SPAS-12 is a shotgun that has appeared repeatedly in various CoD titles with two different firing modes – semi-automatic and pump-action.

The SPAS-12 fires 8 pellets per shot and is known for its one-shot kills at distances of up to 5 meters.

The stats of the SPAS-12 in Modern Warfare 2

The SPAS-12 has appeared in several Call of Duty titles, making it well-known and popular within the community:

  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: Defiance
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops II
  • Call of Duty Online
  • Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

This is the Intervention: The Chey Tac Intervention is a bolt-action sniper rifle. In Modern Warfare Remastered it has 7 shots, a firing rate of 57 rounds per minute, and causes high damage at a high maximum range. The Intervention generally kills its targets with one shot. If the weapon comes, it will be interesting to see how it compares to the strong sniper rifles “AX-50” and “HDR”.

The Intervention has not made as many appearances in Call of Duty, but it has been present in the following titles of the franchise, where it has been favored by fans for its strength:

  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
  • Call of Duty Online
  • Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered

When will the weapons come? Since some of the files for the SPAS-12 and Intervention were updated with Season 4, some fans and leakers speculate that the weapons will come into play with the next season. Therefore, Season 5 could bring these two fan favorites. However, the information has not yet been confirmed by the developers.

Season 4 has only just started and is expected to offer a lot of content. This includes new operators, maps, multiplayer modes, and weapons. To find out what content is planned, check out our article on the Call of Duty Warzone and Modern Warfare Roadmap.

Destiny 2: New mod makes pistols really strong – Make sure to get them

Sven Galitzki Sven Galitzki Reading time 3 minutes

With Season 11 came a new armor mod in Destiny 2 that allows you to create really powerful pistol builds. The sidearms become so strong that some power weapons could take a note from them.

This is what the mod is about: With Season 11, a new armor mod was introduced – Surprise Attack. This was recently made available as a daily rotating mod via the Prism Converter.

Although the offer has changed by now, there’s no need to worry: if you haven’t got the mod yet, it will return. The mod is an absolute must-have for anyone who enjoys using pistols.

Even if you have neglected this weapon type so far, it might be worth taking a look. Some pistols can reach heavy weapon DPS values with builds around the new mod – and that’s as a primary weapon.

In short: You should not miss out on the Surprise Attack mod for the price of 3 mod components.

The Surprise Attack mod

What can the Surprise Attack mod do? When you are charged with Light, all stacks of “Charged with Light” are consumed when reloading or preparing a pistol and converted into significant damage buff stacks for the pistol (Charged Magazine).

For each stack of “Charged with Light,” you receive 5 charged shots for the magazine – so with 3x “Charged with Light,” you get 15 Super Shots. The buff “Charged Magazine” or “Charged Shots” is consumed only when you deal damage to enemies with it. If you miss, only the ammo decreases. The buff stacks remain intact.

What exactly makes the mod so powerful? In short: pistols deal double damage per buff stack. This buff is not registered as a normal buff but rather as a pistol perk by the game. This means you can stack this damage buff with other buffs or debuffs, further increasing the damage.

Additionally, you can combine this mod with other mods to further enhance its effectiveness. Ultimately, builds are possible that allow you to achieve power weapon DPS values with a pistol, such as the exotic “Devil’s Ruin.”

Check out the video to see how powerful the mod is

These mods are also recommended for pistol builds: To effectively use the Surprise Attack mod, you need to be charged with Light, which can also be done through appropriate armor mods. Recommended are, among others:

  • Fast Charge: Get charged with Light by defeating several enemies quickly with pulse rifles, pistols, or submachine guns
  • Charge Siphon: Get charged with Light by picking up Light Orbs (for example, from masterwork weapons or after using your super)
  • Stacked: Gain an additional stack of “Charged with Light” for every stack you receive
  • Overload: You can receive 2 additional stacks of “Charged with Light” – up to a maximum of 5

The combination of these mods makes nearly every pistol a true monster. Most pistols will easily outperform almost any special weapon and make this weapon type, often neglected by many Guardians, shine in a whole new light. Red bars drop with a single shot, majors and mini-bosses are brought to their knees in no time.

Devil’s Ruin

A sample build for the Hunter: If you want to hold a real killer pistol in your hands, try the following build:

You can also feel free to experiment with other weapons or Guardian classes. Even without special builds, pistols become really strong and useful just through the Surprise Attack mod combined with light-charging mods.

By the way, even this would have been hard to believe until recently: An old exotic is now suddenly among the super weapons of Season 11

Pokémon GO: The first raid hour with Zekrom starts today – Here’s what you need to know

Noah Struthoff Noah Struthoff Reading time 2 minutes

Today, on June 17th, the first raid hour with Zekrom starts in Pokémon GO. We provide you with all the information so that you are well prepared.

What is a raid hour? This event typically takes place every Wednesday evening in Pokémon GO. Legendary raids appear for one hour at almost every gym, and you have a good chance of defeating multiple raid bosses.

Today is the first raid hour with Zekrom. The legendary Pokémon has generally been available in the raids only since last night.

All Information about the Raid Hour this Evening

When does it start? The event starts as usual at 6:00 PM local time. For one hour, legendary raids will be open at almost all gyms.

How to fight effectively against Zekrom? The legendary Pokémon is weak against Dragon, Fairy, Ground, and Ice types. So make sure to use monsters of these types.

In our counter guide to Zekrom, you will find all the important information about the raid boss and the 10 best counter Pokémon.

Zekrom Pokémon GO counter
Rayquaza and Palkia are strong counters against Zekrom, for example

How many players should you have? Zekrom can already be defeated quite easily in a trio. However, during the raid hour, we recommend a group size of about 6 players. This way, you can get through the raids faster and complete more raids in the hour.

Is the raid hour worth it? Zekrom has only been available in Germany since today, and at least for the Pokédex entry, it is worth participating in the raid hour.

But it’s worth it beyond that as well. Zekrom is the best electric Pokémon in the game and quite useful. So you should definitely invest some raid passes to secure a good specimen and enough candies.

What will happen with the raid hours next? The next 2 weeks will also feature Zekrom in the raid hour. These will again take place on Wednesdays.

What will happen afterwards is still not entirely clear. However, a lot is happening in Pokémon GO until July. This includes 2 events that will take place this month.

Valorant: What is the meaning of “Econ Rating” and how do you increase it?

Jürgen Horn Jürgen Horn Reading time 3 minutes

Valorant provides you with stats after each match that showcase your gameplay performance. However, one of these stats, the so-called “Econ Rating”, is unclear to many players. We at MeinMMO have figured out the meaning of the Econ Rating for you.

What is the Econ Rating? After each game, you will see a list of valuable data in the post-game stats. This includes Kills, Assists, your own deaths, the total score, and a mysterious stat called “Econ Rating”.

Econ is short for “Economy”, and the Econ Rating essentially indicates how effectively you have spent your money from the shop in the game. The Econ Rating shows the damage dealt per 1,000 spent credits.

  • If you spend 5,000 credits and deal 300 damage, the Econ Rating is 60
  • With 5,000 credits and 500 damage, it would be 100
  • With only 50 damage for 5,000 credits, the rating is only 10

What does the height of the rating mean? The higher your Econ Rating is, the more effectively and “economically” you use your game resources.

  • Good Econ Ratings range from 75 to over 100 points
  • Average ratings start at around 55 points
  • Poor ratings are below 40 points

Here you see a list of the Econ Ratings. Source: Dexerto

Is the Econ Rating important?

What do the values indicate? The value is generally meant to show whether you are cleverly optimizing your equipment or recklessly buying stuff that you don’t end up using effectively.

If someone has a very low rating, they might want to consider not always spending money on rather unnecessary items. However, the rating is unfortunately not always meaningful.

What are the criticisms of the Econ Rating? The Econ Rating only provides reliable statements for players who focus on attack and damage. It fails for defensive players and supporters who assist their team with skills and deal little damage. For example, agents like Sage or Cypher, who primarily have support skills, usually have a lower Econ Rating than offensive heroes like Raze, Phoenix, Jett, or Reyna.

valorant raze op titel 1-01
Offensive heroes often have better Econ Ratings than supporters.

Moreover, it does not take into account when you buy weapons for teammates. The game unfortunately also neglects individual expenses and damage numbers. So if you spend a lot of money for the team, you will also get distorted numbers in the Econ Rating.

Additionally, the system penalizes players with slow weapons, such as the sniper rifle Operator. You need more kills with it than someone using the assault rifle Vandal, who can deal more damage per credit – even if the sniper might have been more effective for the round’s progression.

Therefore, the Econ value is only conditionally useful, and you shouldn’t worry too much about whether you have truly converted every credit into damage effectively. However, as an indicator for generally effective purchasing behavior, the Econ Rating is certainly meaningful. If you want to aim better in Valorant, then check out this article.

The Back Blings: Your character’s back should also be eye-catching in Season 3 as you triumph over your opponents. There are special back accessories like a shield or a small moon.

A particular highlight here is also the metal owl. It is called “Ohm’s Perch” and apparently belongs to the outfit of the skin “Jules”.

Epic Games presented this character as a kind of tinkerer. Jules’ owl is likely an important companion for her. It’s very possible that she made the parts herself.

New online shooter announced, but it’s actually not that new

Andreas Bertits Andreas Bertits Reading time 2 minutes

Suba Games has announced a new online shooter called MARS. However, upon closer examination, it is not so new.

What is MARS? MARS: Mercenary Assault & Recon Squad offers an unusual scenario. You fight against robots, zombies, dinosaurs, aliens, ancient gods, and monsters. You participate in PvP battles and PvE fights with your squad. Tactics and teamwork play a significant role.

In the Free2Play shooter, you travel through various time periods to battle dinosaurs in the past or robots in the future. Additionally, you face waves of enemies in cooperative missions.

According to the developers, dozens of game modes are available. However, the website does not reveal further details.

  • You utilize dozens of weapons from different eras
  • You travel from the past to the future
  • You team up with other players to form clans
  • You customize your character with outfits, armor, weapons, and much more

In MARS, you fight zombies, aliens, robots, and more.

Is it really new? Looking closely, MARS resembles an online shooter from 2014. This game was known in the USA as Hazard Ops and in Europe as ZMR: Zombies, Monsters, Robots.

This is not surprising, as both games emerged from MARS Online by YingPei Games, released in 2013, which also carried the subtitle Mercenary Assault & Recon Squad.

The game aimed to impress with many maps and a plethora of game modes. In Beast Mode, for example, you had to gather points during the battle to transform into a powerful beast that cleared enemies away.

As seen in the videos of MARS, there has not been much graphical change compared to Hazard Ops or ZMR.

Can you already participate in MARS? You can sign up for the Closed Beta on the official website that has recently started. An Open Beta will follow soon. The Free2Play shooter does not yet have a release date.

Who is behind the game? Suba Games is known for reintroducing older Asian online games to the market. This has occurred with titles like Divine Souls, ACE Online, Priston Tale, or Luna Online.
