In FIFA 20, an old fan favorite, Jonathan Biabiany, received a strong new card. However, it is so expensive that the fans are quite upset.
Who is Jonathan Biabiany? The winger has been equally loved and feared in FIFA for years. His overall rating was never the highest – but the speed. That speed!
Since FIFA 13, Biabiany has been a weapon to reckon with, especially in Serie A teams. The winger easily outpaced nearly every defender. A classic pace monster – and correspondingly popular.
In FIFA 19, there was only a silver card with still 94 pace for Biabiany, while in FIFA 20 his card looked like this:
Still fast, of course. But not the same weapon as before.
Biabiany is back – but way too expensive
This is the card in question: During the FUT Birthday Event, Biabiany received a Flashback card. Of course: The speed was turned up again. With 99 pace and 93 dribbling, this Biabiany is not to be trifled with. It’s a pity that probably very few people will use him.
This is what the new Biabiany card looks like
This is the problem: The new Biabiany card has not only three stars for weak foot and skill moves, but also plays in the second Italian league. The Frenchman fits in very few FUT teams based on the league.
Some fans might overlook that. But since the other stats besides pace are not particularly outstanding, the hefty price of about 140,000 coins for the SBC keeps many away.
This is what the fans say: In the FIFA subreddit, many fans express anger over the requirements for the 87-rated winger. Especially now in April, the SBC is far too expensive for a player with this rating. Pure nostalgia cannot justify the price.
“This is one of the worst player SBCs they have released. They didn’t even improve the skill moves or weak foot,” complains user S-Yx (via reddit)
“Probably the worst of all time,” agrees user Pidjesus (via reddit).
“This is directly one of the bottom 5 SBCs in FIFA 20,” also finds user IsMiseOzz (via reddit).
Moreover, it is criticized that another French player falls into the current promo with Biabiany. Already 11 other promo players for the FUT Birthday come from France – this limits the combination possibilities.
For many players, the new Biabiany card is unfortunately not worth it. However, he should at least be interesting for players who enjoy dribbling – just like these seven strong dribblers.

On Friday night, there was the Twitch reveal of the new shooter Valorant by Riot Games. The top shooter players showcased Valorant and achieved strong results. However, the streamer Guy “DrDisrespect” Beahm played the Trials of Osiris in Destiny 2. He said he didn’t want to sell his soul.
That was the situation on Friday night: It was already clear that the reveal of Valorant, the new shooter from Riot Games, would be the event on Friday night on Twitch. Some of the biggest shooter streamers on Twitch were streaming the event. You could feel the hype in the air.
Since DrDisrespect is a well-known shooter streamer on Twitch, many of his viewers assumed that the Doctor would also play Valorant on Friday night.
Especially since DrDisrespect had tweeted a picture of himself on April 1, depicting him as a “hero character” in Valorant.
He said that those who subscribe on Twitch would get this hero skin in the new shooter. An April Fools’ joke.

The streamer announced at the beginning of his Friday stream that he would be playing a “new game,” but then said: “a new game for our channel” and logged into Destiny 2.
This was received only moderately well by some of his fans. In the chat, it was seen that Destiny 2
The Doctor was initially visibly inexperienced in Destiny 2 and had to get used to the controls and peculiarities of the game. He was visibly confused by the concept of a “heavy weapon.” Why does he have a weapon when it has no ammunition?
The streamer was using endgame characters but did not reveal the mystery of how he obtained them. It appeared that he had not leveled them up.
Over time, DrDisrespect visibly got better with Destiny 2. The Twitch streamer shaped up. And ultimately, it doesn’t matter to the streamer in which shooter he dominates with “violence, speed, and momentum.”
Valorant is taking off on Twitch – the Doctor doesn’t care
This was the outcome: DrDisrespect streamed about 4 hours of Destiny 2 while many other top shooter streamers on Twitch spent their time on Valorant on Friday night.
3 of the 10 top streamers on Twitch were at Valorant. From left: DrLupo, TimTheTatman, Summit1g.
In the end, the outcome looked like this:
TimTheTatman averaged 88,850 viewers in the stream and peaked at 116,189 – about 3 times as much as usual
Summit1g averaged 115,098 viewers and peaked at 213,811 – about 6 times as much as usual
DrDisrespect had 20,560 viewers during his stream and peaked at 26,049 – normal numbers
The boost for Summit1g’s channel was enormous. DrDisrespect doesn’t have this peak. Source: Sullygnome
DrDisrespect forgoes viewers and allegedly $150,000
This is what DrDisrespect said about forgoing Valorant: During the stream, it was already mentioned in the chat at the beginning that TimTheTatman had 100,000 viewers on Twitch. He is a laid-back entertainment streamer with whom the ambitious DrDisrespect has a rivalry going on.
The remarks about TimTheTatman’s success the Doc ignored.
Later, DrDisrespect was asked if he was concerned about his viewer numbers. But he laughed and said:
I couldn’t care less [about viewer numbers.] The guy is worried about my viewer numbers. Get lost, you pussy. I don’t care.
If I were to care about viewer numbers, I would have sold my soul and could have played Valorant and Twitch Rivals all weekend and still made $150,000.
But I don’t do that, I’m just having a good time on Friday night.
DrDisrespect
What could this mean? In the clip, it seems as though DrDisrespect declined an offer from Riot Games to participate in the reveal of Valorant and pocket $150,000 – approximately €138,000.
It’s also credible that Riot Games would have liked to have the Doctor involved in the presentation of Valorant. After all, he appeals to an audience that Riot Games would like for Valorant: somewhat experienced shooter fans with ambition who value gameplay.
However, other streamers who were part of the Twitch Rivals for Valorant did not label their streams as “sponsored.” The question remains open whether DrDisrespect was really offered money by Riot or if that was just a phrase from him in the stream to emphasize his point that he chose “Destiny and his own thing” over Valorant and against “the money and the viewers.”
Why exactly DrDisrespect chose to forgo Valorant seems to be open. Perhaps he thought the game didn’t fit his “brand,” or something went wrong during the negotiations.
When asked what he thought of Valorant, DrDisrespect pretended to fall into a deep sleep.
Then he seemingly woke up and exclaimed: “Hey, Riot, I’m just joking. Come on. Where do you want him? No, no, don’t close the conference room door. I have a great design here.”
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone, a weapon skin is causing a stir. It is said to make a sniper stronger, although that is not intended.
There are issues: A video has surfaced on reddit showing problems with the EBR-14. When it wears a weapon skin from the Battle Pass, it is said to be stronger. An experiment in the video proves this.
Normally, skins are not supposed to make weapons stronger; they are only meant to change their appearance, but it seems there is also a technical buff involved here.
Video shows how strong the EBR-14 is with a weapon skin
This is the video: A few players wanted to get to the bottom of this and tested it thoroughly. In the clip, “ChickenYug” is seen giving his teammate a headshot with a modified EBR-14, without a skin. He stands still and survives it.

After that, the weapon is switched, and the EBR-14 with the “Line Breaker” skin comes into play. It has the same attachments as the EBR without a skin. A similar headshot suddenly becomes fatal, even though the opponent had fully healed again. The sniper with the right skin seems to have received a damage buff, even though a skin is not supposed to have any influence on that.
How is the video received? The clip has now received over 16,000 upvotes. Many other players see it as evidence that weapon skins can actually influence damage. There is even a statement saying that this is Pay-to-Win since you can only get the Battle Pass skin by paying money.
Other players are downplaying the situation. They believe it is more of a nasty bug and hope that Infinity Ward will respond quickly. As maulla said on reddit: “This is a bug and not Pay-to-Win. Reddit can be so dramatic sometimes.”
Why is everyone screaming Pay-to-Win? For the predecessor of the current Modern Warfare, Black Ops 4 from 2018, there was harsh criticism for the loot boxes. It heavily depended on chance whether you got your favorite weapon in the right version or missed event weapons through the boxes. Some players feel reminded of that now.
However, there has been little criticism in this direction regarding Modern Warfare so far. Instead of the controversial loot boxes, Infinity Ward introduced the system of Battle Passes and scored points with the players.

In Pokémon GO the last major update brought several issues. The main problems affect gyms and raids, as there are many outages there.
What is the problem? For some time now, various trainers have been complaining about annoying bugs in the game. It seems to primarily affect iOS users. However, there are also reports from Android users complaining about bugs.
All of this seems to be related to the enlargement of the gym radius. Since this radius was increased, many of the bugs have occurred.
These bugs drive trainers crazy
What bugs are we talking about? Reports mainly concern bugs affecting raids and gyms. The following errors have been reported:
Raids are partially unplayable, as players often cannot deal damage and the raid gets stuck
Gym battles often require a restart of the app – the defeated Pokémon stays on the ground for a long time
The transformation animation of Ditto is bugged and takes significantly longer
The suggestions in the Rocket battles are not saved and need to be reselected
The screen quickly dims if it is not touched for a few seconds
Gyms and raids are currently quite buggy
What can be done about it? There are no proper solutions. Many of the bugs cannot be quickly fixed and need a patch from Niantic. It seems that the developers are working on it, as some trainers are already reporting numerous new updates. However, a complete solution is still not available.
This is particularly bitter: The bug in raids is quite drastic, as many players lose raid passes because they cannot defeat the bosses.
So anyone who has noticed this bug recently should currently not invest further raid passes. An alternative for legendary Pokémon is the PvP League. There, players can encounter, among other rewards, Thundurus.
Keep in mind that there is a risk of contracting the coronavirus for yourself and others. The Federal Centre for Health Education recommends staying home as much as possible, keeping distance from others, and avoiding gatherings. Niantic has taken various measures so that you can play Pokémon GO from home.

Never before have so many players played the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online at the same time online on Steam (PC)
ESO was released on April 4, 2014, on PC. The record was therefore reached almost 6 years after its release
The record was influenced by the circumstances of the coronavirus and a promotional campaign
Update on April 12: The numbers have increased again, reaching a peak of 49,061 players today according to Steam. A new gameplay trailer for the upcoming expansion “Greymoor” has also been released, which you can find at the bottom of the article.
These player numbers: On the evening of April 2, 2020, ESO reached 34,449 players at the same time. This surpassed the peak of 32,498 reached in May 2019.
ESO is currently ranked 1st among MMORPGs on Steam. Close behind is Black Desert, which reached a maximum of 32,779 players in the last 30 days.
The player numbers of ESO on Steam (via Steamcharts)
None of this would have been possible if Zenimax had not developed the story-driven MMO so strongly in recent years. ESO is constantly expanded with annual add-ons, so-called chapters, and new DLCs. The high quality that has been achieved is also recognized in the reviews on Steam.
What do the reviews on Steam look like? They are at 87% positive ratings over the last 30 days (April 2, 2020, 22:32). During this time, the atmosphere, the inviting game world for exploration, and the well-staged story for an online role-playing game have been particularly praised.
Opinions are divided on the combat system – some players desire more intense hit feedback.
What’s next: In May, Greymoor will be the next chapter, which will open an area known from Skyrim following the dragons introduced with Elsweyr. After a long time, there is also a new, larger gameplay feature with the Antiquities system.
The free 2 weeks will continue until April 14, 2020. Therefore, it is a perfect time to check out the MMORPG for yourself.

A player in GTA Online behaves like a police officer. He enforces a curfew due to the coronavirus and attacks other players who violate it. This particular roleplayer does not hesitate to use cheats and hacks.
This is what is happening in GTA: As reported by Polygon from personal experience, there is at least one player in GTA Online who sees himself as “Corona Police.” He wrote in the chat:
Anyone who is not at home during this session will be attacked. The Corona curfew has begun.
Message in the chat from GTA Online
Behind this “police officer” was a hacker who grabbed a player who violated the curfew and captured him in his vehicle.
However, the hacker turned out to be a roleplayer who instructed his victim to “wash his hands when he goes out of the house.”
When the player engaged with the roleplay and claimed he had to deliver cocaine, which is really an “essential service” to the public, the hacker let him go.
Everyone is in quarantine in real life, everyone is affected
This is the story behind it: As Polygon writes, they spoke to the hacker who cheats on public servers and assumes the role of a “digital corona police” as a roleplayer.
He said he is in self-isolation and is playing GTA Online. He saw someone in the game getting camped. Usually, a common situation in the world of GTA. But because of the virus, everything is different:
The victim of the camper complained that it was unfair, as he was under quarantine. The idea being: he was already having a hard enough time in real life, he didn’t need this crap in GTA as well.
The camper then apologized and stopped tormenting his victim.
In real life, the coronavirus somehow affects everyone, and that changes the situation, says the hacker. The scene is the origin of the idea to play a corona police officer.
The hacker then thought: “Oh, screw it. This is a game where I can fly a hoverbike and play Mario Kart in the sky… so yeah, I can also be the corona police. Why not?”
It happens in GTA 5 Online more frequently that what happens in the real world directly affects what happens in the game. For example, the Hong Kong conflict was reenacted with gun violence in GTA 5 Online. Players from Hong Kong dressed like the protesters – Chinese players play the role of police officers to quell the riots.

Fortnite is still a big hit and delights thousands of fans. However, there are and have been several things in the game that drove large parts of the community to despair. Find out here which 15 aspects of the game the developers should have left out.
Fortnite is a successful and exciting game, no question about it. The clever mix of action and building, the funny, colorful skins, and the motivating Battle Pass are still fun. However, everything has its downsides, and there have always been gameplay elements, items, and weapons that were simply annoying and hated by the community.
We have listed here 15 of the most annoying irritations from Fortnite’s history. Enjoy getting worked up!
Place 15 – Combat Shotgun
What is it? The Combat Shotgun replaced the popular Pump Shotgun in Season 9 and was a type of shotgun with tight spread and very high range. It had a high fire rate.
https://youtu.be/pNlBLyORWmA
Why was it so annoying: Some fans never forgave the weapon for replacing the old pump. But there were other problems with it. Because the weapon had far too much range and fire rate. The typical shotgun feeling was no longer present here. However, there were many other shotguns in Season 9, but a normal Pump Shotgun was not. This annoyed many fans.
What happened to it? Epic nerfed the shotgun first by slightly reducing its range. Ultimately, the Combat Shotgun was removed in Patch 10.20.2 in Season 10.
Place 14 – Minigun
What is it? The Minigun is a type of machine gun with multiple barrels. The weapon takes some time to spin up all the barrels, but then it unleashes massive amounts of bullets to cover everything in the fire zone. It was one of the first new weapons introduced with Patch 2.4.

Why was it so annoying:The original version of the Minigun did not have an overheating mechanic. You could happily fire hundreds of shots without reloading. That was way too strong!
What happened to it? Epic significantly nerfed the Minigun by making it overheat after too many shots. This made the weapon quite weak, and hardly anyone used it for a long time. In Patch 11, it was even completely removed from the game. Since Patch 12 it has returned, and there is also a mythical version of it that can be obtained once per game.
Place 13 – Boom Box
What is it? The Boom Box from Season 7 is a speaker that could be placed on the ground. It stayed there and played loud music, causing significant damage to buildings regularly. Players were not harmed.

Why was it so annoying: The Boom Box completely ruined building. It was simply impossible to build anything permanent with the noisy thing nearby. And by the time you shot down the 400 hit points of the box, you had completely different problems. Some trolls even placed the box on vehicles and drove around as a mobile wrecking ball.
What happened to it? Epic quickly realized that the box ruined a key element of Fortnite and removed it with Update 7.3 from Season 7.
Place 12 – C4
What is it? C4 is a pack of explosives that you can attach to objects and detonate remotely. It was introduced in Patch 3.3. The item was very effective against buildings.

What happened to it? This item was revised numerous times by Epic and was even temporarily removed from the game. A heavily nerfed version is now found in Chapter 2, Season 2.
Place 11 – Boom Bow
What is it? The Boom Bow was a modern bow that fired an explosive arrow. It was a very precise weapon that inflicted high damage at long range. The bow was introduced in Season 8.
https://youtu.be/qp4roXOHXlY
Why was it so annoying: The Boom Bow inflicted terrible damage and was able to eliminate players with just one hit. Additionally, it was very precise and had a high range. But the most annoying thing about it was its aim assist, which clearly showed where the shot would land. It was way too easy to score targeted one-shots with the bow.
What happened to it? In Season 9, the bow was removed again. However, it is now available as a rare mythical weapon that can be found only once per match.
On the next page, there come some really annoying things, but also a “feature” that many players actually liked.

A Twitch streamer is accusing the Overwatch professional player Walid “Mouffin” Bassal of using his fame as a pro to make advances towards underage girls online. The team has put him on the bench to investigate the incident. The player was later released.
These are the allegations: The Twitch streamer KhaleesiBB shared her experiences with the player “Mouffin” on Twitter. They were virtually together for a while. She alleges that he cheated on her even before they met in person by texting other women and asking them for nude photos.
When they met each other in person at TwitchCon, he was “in her face” within minutes and tried to kiss her. She felt uncomfortable afterward and asked friends not to leave her alone with him.
She describes the time and relationship with him in several paragraphs: Mouffin allegedly continued to text other women while she was aiming for an “exclusive” relationship and later wanted to be friends with him.
Mouffin’s behavior towards other women is described as “creepy,” unsettling, and intrusive.
The Twitch streamer KhaleesiBB. She brought the allegations to light.
Sexual Predators in Overwatch
The allegations center around Mouffin’s behavior towards other women, some of whom are said to be underage. There are mentions of 15-year-olds:
Mouffin allegedly asked women for “nude” photos and sent his own nude photos.
He allegedly used his position as an Overwatch celebrity and his charm to “open doors” – since joining the Overwatch League, he would exploit his new status.
He allegedly messaged “hundreds of women,” sent photos of his genitals to most of them, and did not care about their age.
He allegedly offered alcohol to minors.
Mouffin reportedly tried to cover up his misconduct by promising girls gifts, like a new computer, or by intimidating them.
The Twitch streamer states that Mouffin is not an isolated case. There are several in the Overwatch community who behave like sexual predators. Blizzard is aware of the case but has not taken enough action in her opinion, which is why she is going public.
It is said that these people cannot be allowed to get away with abusing their popularity to exploit others sexually. The community must start to stand up against this behavior, or it will continue.

This is how the team reacted: The player’s team, Boston Uprising, has responded. They say they have heard the allegations, take them very seriously, and will investigate: Mouffin was benched for the upcoming match while the incident is being examined.
There is no statement from Mouffin himself.
MeToo in Overwatch
This is the larger context: A similar case occurred 2 years ago at Boston Uprising as well. In 2018, player Jonathan “DreamKazper” Sanchez was said to have contacted a 14-year-old girl online. It also involved sexually explicit images.
DreamKazper’s contract was terminated back then. Now, Boston Uprising is being scrutinized by fans as to why such cases repeatedly occur there. Perhaps Boston needs to be more careful in scouting who they recruit into the Overwatch League.
DreamKazper has become a catchphrase for the behavior that is now being attributed to Mouffin.
There are also several cases from the esports universe, especially in Overwatch, where young esports players contact younger female fans online. This seems to be a serious problem.
The Overwatch caster and expert Montecristo recommends Overwatch professionals to think twice before asking others for nude photos, as this could help them avoid embarrassing mistakes.

Update 5.4, 0:03 AM: About a week after the original report, the team Boston Uprising announced that they have terminated the contract of the Overwatch player Mouffin.

The Survival MMO Valnir Rok from the German studio Encurio is set to receive a revision. It is supposed to become darker and even more brutal. Currently, it is in Early Access on Steam but has received only moderate feedback there.
What is Valnir Rok? The Survival MMO takes place in a world with Vikings. You are the last survivor of your crew after the ship you were on has been destroyed and washed ashore on an island.
There, the task is to survive, although wild monsters, other players, and the natural urge for food and drink want to stop you from doing just that. Gameplay-wise, it resembles Conan Exiles, which the game has been compared to.
Valnir Rok was released in Early Access back in 2017 but is now planning major changes.

What is supposed to change? According to the developers, the MMO is now supposed to become really dark and brutal. They write:
Big things are happening in Valnir Rok – in the coming months, the game will undergo some changes, it will become darker and more brutal – it will not be a safe place to live. Can you prevent this apocalypse in the once peaceful land with its green meadows?
A small preview was already provided by the latest update #78, which was released on March 31:
It brought adjustments to the interface
Added a damage log
Improved colors and lighting effects
Made changes to attack animations and speeds
There were some balance adjustments and bug fixes.
Viking MMO impresses with realistic construction
Why could the game be interesting? On Steam, Valnir Rok currently has an average of around 4 players (via Steamcharts). The ratings are also rather mixed, with 56% positive votes out of 579 reviews.
There are some unique features of the game that have been positively highlighted in reviews. The user Asbestbrezel praised Valnir Rok in 2017 for:
The overall Viking setting
The crafting and building system, where recipes are discovered and realistic materials like mortar are used to build a wall
The building system is also highlighted because load-bearing walls are supposed to play a role. If these are removed, the entire building collapses, much to the delight of any trained structural engineer
Others were also excited about the game at first. But that diminished over time.
With a bow and arrow, you can attack creatures from a distance.
Where are the problems with the game? Asbestbrezel himself updated his review in mid-2018, noting that a lot of content is simply missing. There doesn’t seem to have been much change even until today.
The latest reviews of the last 90 days criticize the game for being quite boring in combat, for having performance issues, and for hardly encountering other players right now. Nevertheless, many voices see potential in the game that has simply not been tapped yet.
The new NPCs are the main feature in the Wastelanders update of Fallout 76. MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus has already checked them out and is excited about the details they contain.
The new, big Wastelanders update for Fallout 76 is supposed to change quite a bit. One of the biggest criticisms of the original game was the lack of NPCs, which are now set to return. But how well does that work?
Bethesda invited me to the Wastelanders test server, where I have now spent over 15 hours of gameplay and talked to the virtual people there. And I was amazed at how damn good they have become.
In an interview, it was said that the designers “exceeded the budget for words”. The NPCs talk a lot more than originally planned. However, I don’t find that exaggerated but rather really, really good.
This article particularly focuses on the NPCs and their level of detail. If you want to learn more about the update in general, check my detailed preview report on Wastelanders. There, I go into more detail about the upcoming changes, story, and highlights.
NPCs make Wastelanders come alive
What role do NPCs play? The new NPCs fulfill various roles in Wastelanders. Their main aspect is to provide players with new quests. Instead of recorded holotapes, real people now give players tasks.
They are responsible for the new story but also continue the old story and provide plenty of side quests. For instance, the two factions of Settlers and Raiders allow for additional tasks to earn reputation with them and rack up rewards.
Additionally, some NPCs in Wastelanders can be hired as companions, almost like in the single-player parts of the Fallout series. They will keep you company in the camp, give you tasks to learn more about them or provide opportunities for romance.
Wastelanders brings companions to Appalachia.
How do they fit into the world: The NPCs are not just “suddenly there” as if nothing has happened, but have reasons to be back in Appalachia. While playing, I have discovered more and more of these reasons.
Instead of randomly scattered accessories and vendors, they are a lively part of Appalachia. They respond on their own to the player as they pass by and sometimes even give useful tips.
I especially noticed positively that the NPCs do not take it for granted that a Vault dweller from the local Vault helps them. I am not a hero that everyone knows. They are suspicious and show it very directly – and unless I have earned a certain level of reputation, they do not listen to me.
What kind of details are there? This cautious attitude towards me as a player (and also to you, once you play it) is already one of the details that makes the NPCs so great at the first meeting. But the more I engaged with them, the more they overwhelmed me.
Almost every NPC, even an insignificant one, has their own life and many have their own personality. In the larger camps, they roam around and go about their activities, fixing and hammering on things that need to be repaired, or making music with others.
A particularly memorable moment was my encounter with one of the Settlers, who lives with his wife and son in Foundation, the Settlers’ stronghold. He got his own dialect from Bethesda, which apparently comes from somewhere in the British Isles.
After all the other NPCs had more or less spoken to me in fluent English, I was extremely surprised when I first barely understood a word from him until I could adjust to his dialect.
This showed me how much effort actually goes into these characters and how strongly they truly bring the world to life. I look forward to more such encounters – and perhaps hope for a Swabian or Hessian in the German version!
How they make the world even more alive: The NPCs not only have personalities and real lives but also interact with the player – even unsolicited. I noticed this several times during my runs.
Depending on how well my character was equipped or leveled, they reacted differently to me. With weak equipment, they laughed at me or gave me survival tips. With strong equipment, they admired me or marveled at my weapons.
This triggered a slight twitch in my eye and a desire to explain to him with my metal fist that his face could certainly use a polish as well. I actually felt how connected I felt to my character.
Even in the first conversations, decisions can have consequences.
This continues over time, because depending on how I behave, quests can lead to different solutions. The end has remained the same (so far), but my options have been somewhat different in each playthrough.
At various times and with different progress in the quests, other NPCs can even be found at specific locations. That’s almost like back in the single-player parts. You can find a deeper insight into the single-player experience of Wastelanders with the colleagues at GamePro.
All in all, I was surprised at how much I actually missed NPCs. Although I had fun playing Fallout 76 before, it now feels really good with Wastelanders. The quality of the NPCs and certainly the prospect of a flirtation with my companions contribute significantly to that.
Wastelanders will be released on April 14, 2020 as a free update for PS4, Xbox One, and PC after a delay due to the crisis. For the first time, the game will also be released on Steam. Those who cannot help polish the update on the test server can get a glimpse of Wastelanders themselves at the latest then.

You are missing 2 achievements for the Season Journey of Season 20 in Diablo 3? We will show you how to easily get them to unlock the pet and the frame. Here’s how “Flawless Victory” works.
What is it about? Many players in Diablo 3 have made it their goal to complete the Season Journey of Season 20. This brings rewards like the cool bat pet.
Others complete the journey not for the pet but simply to “finish” the season for themselves. A task that players often struggle with is the three achievements. The task is “Flawless Victory. Complete 3 achievements this season.”
We will show you three achievements that you can complete quickly here. For the tougher ones, our guides will help.
These rewards await you when you complete the entire Season Journey of Season 20 in Diablo 3.
1. Cursed and Sewn
What is it? Here, you need to kill 350 enemies at the event of a cursed chest. The problem is that not every chest spawns that many enemies.
So you don’t have to wander through all the acts trying to find chests, we have described in our Guide for Cursed and Sewn in Diablo 3 exactly where you can find such a chest and how the event works.
Once you have done that, you are ready for the next achievement. We recommend “Boss Mode.” Especially easy to accomplish in a group.
2. Boss Mode
What is it? For the achievement “Boss Mode,” you need to kill certain bosses within 20 minutes after starting the game.
If you tackle it in a coordinated group, the achievement is very easy. In our Guide to Boss Mode in Diablo 3, we show you how to divide the bosses among your group members and what coordination you need to have to bag the achievement.
And what is the third achievement?
How do you get it? One of the easier achievements is reaching a Greater Rift Level 75 in solo play. The achievement is called “Simply Divine.” You won’t achieve it right after reaching level 70 in the game, but it requires a bit of practice and especially gear. However, once you have reached the last page of the season journey and completed the other achievements, a GR 75 should be possible as well.
If you are using the Tier List of Season 20 for Diablo 3, then this should be no problem for you. All builds on the page should easily break this level and unlock the achievement for you.

Currently, the new Path of Exile Delirium League is underway. Many players have now reached the endgame and are using a particularly strong build. The developers had to react and break an important principle.
What happened? On Thursday, April 2, a mid-season patch was released for Path of Exile, which made a significant change to the skill Purposeful Harbinger.
This is uncharacteristic for the game, as developers want to avoid nerfs within a season. Players invest a lot of time and in-game currency in the right builds and playstyles. A change to the builds means that players have worked towards a build for nothing.
Nevertheless, this nerf was sorely needed, as the developer Grinding Gear Games stated in a separate forum post (via PoE Forum). After all, the skill utilized mechanics that were not intended.

Many things count as an aura and that is a problem
What does the skill do? Through the cluster jewels, 281 new passive skills were introduced to Path of Exile with the new Delirium league, which is very difficult. One of these new passive skills was Purposeful Harbinger.
Purposeful Harbinger ensured that auras were amplified by 10% for each herald you use. According to the developers, it was already clear during creation that the skill would become too strong.
However, they did not expect the skill to create many unintended interactions.
What is the problem? The skill was supposed to only serve to amplify the auras of skills. However, everything that counts as an aura internally was also amplified. And it seems that has been quite a lot.
As a result, the build around Purposeful Harbinger became the strongest option in the game and even “unintentionally the most powerful mechanic ever seen in Path of Exile,” according to the developers.
What was changed? The adjustment was made so that now only the aura from skills is amplified, not every aura anymore.
Why was the intervention made now? Initially, the developers did not want to make any changes at all. They wanted to prevent builds from changing mid-season in Path of Exile.
The first complaints were also slightly brushed off because the skill was intentionally designed to be strong. A nerf was announced for the next season. It was only later that they realized there were the unintended interactions.
When they finally wanted to take action, the developers had to switch to working from home due to the coronavirus. Therefore, the release of the update was delayed.
Developers apologize: At the end of the text, the developers apologized for the inconveniences. They realize that many PoE players have wasted a lot of time and money. They should have reacted much sooner.
In the PoE forum (via PoE Forum), there were also some initial reactions to the patch: Most players reacted positively to the explanation and apology.
Apparently, the developers were also right in their initial assessment that the skill is overall very strong.
As user unloder100500 writes: “And the skill is still OP.”
The long shot in FIFA 20 is a method that can lead to surprising goals. But it requires the right players. Here are 7 who excel at long shots.
What good is the long shot? Long shot goals don’t come frequently in FIFA 20. But if you have the right position and enough time to aim, a well-timed long shot can turn the tide in your favor.
A really good long shooter can also score beautiful long-range goals even from difficult situations. Many icons have particularly high ratings in this area. But even outside of the icon cards, there are extremely strong long shooters. Here we present seven of the best long shooters in Ultimate Team.
Lionel Messi
What makes Messi special: Lionel Messi has three special cards that boast incredible values for long shots. The best one is – not surprisingly – his outstanding TOTY card. It has a shot rating of 98, including a 99 for long shots and a shot power of 91. The card is absolutely fantastic overall, but with more than four and a half million coins, it is unfortunately unaffordable for most players.
Nevertheless: When Messi takes a shot from long range, the chances are good that the ball will find the top corner.
Cristiano Ronaldo
What makes Ronaldo special: Nearly the same is true for Cristiano Ronaldo’s TOTY card as it is for Messi’s TOTY card. It is outstanding in almost all areas, particularly physical attributes are even more pronounced in Ronaldo. Alongside his 99 long shots, he also has a shot power of 99. Long shots from Ronaldo are nearly unstoppable.
However, Ronaldo is even more expensive than Messi. With over 8 million, Ronaldo’s TOTY card is among the most expensive cards in the game.
Kevin de Bruyne
What makes de Bruyne special: Kevin de Bruyne also received an incredibly strong TOTY card that shines with top values for long shots. It costs a lot too. With around two and a half million coins, you can get one.
But de Bruyne also received a cheaper TOTW-Moments card that is very good at long shots, too. Long shots 97, shot power 98 – this card can definitely compete when it comes to long-shot potential. Price: A total of 840,000 coins. Now, however, we want to look at some cheaper options.
The TOTW-Moments card is also a good long shooter
Gary Medel
What makes Medel special: Gary Medel’s Ultimate-Scream card is the cheapest super long shooter you can get. Scream Medel costs about 15,000 coins and can shoot from a distance with 99 shot power and 99 long shots.
His volleys and positioning are also very high at 98 each – he has deficiencies only when it comes to finishing. Thus, he is not an option for poorly placed shots, but when he has enough space and time, he is deadly from long range. Especially for Serie A teams, he may be a good option – also defensively!
Josip Ilicic
What makes Ilicic special: Josip Ilicic’s Headliners card is a very strong option in Serie A attack. The forward is a very good target player and also has some long shots in his arsenal: 97 long shots, 96 shot power. Additionally, he has an 88 for finishing and 92 free kick accuracy. He is also useful for set pieces.
The card’s price has increased to 97,000 coins over the past two weeks, but it is possible that it may drop a bit in the coming days. Here, one should aim for a good deal if one wants to sign Ilicic. Additionally, the other Ilicic cards, such as TOTW or Champions League MOTM, also offer good values for long shots and are a slightly cheaper alternative.
Noticeably cheaper, but also dangerous from afar
Marc Bartra
What makes Bartra special: Marc Bartra has scored two goals this season, and he is not particularly known as an artist from his Dortmund days. No wonder since he usually plays in defense. But in the Shapeshifters event, the center-back suddenly received a striker card. And that’s not all.
For the Bartra who plays in Spain today, he has also received a 99 in shot power and long shots. This is a huge leap from his normal CB card. Unfortunately, it was only available as part of the Shapeshifters challenges. However, if you got him: Just take a shot. And if he is on the opposing team – better not give him too much time to aim.
Christian Eriksen
What makes Eriksen special: Eriksen’s offensive stats are not overly surprising. The playmaker is known for his vision, technique, and clever passing. But his Winter-Refresh card has another quality: deadly long shots.
Eriksen also has a 99 for long shots and a shot power of 94. He can aim as well, also sporting a weak foot with 5 stars. His price has currently settled at 200,000 coins. That’s quite a chunk – but the investment could pay off.
Deadpool has arrived in Fortnite and brings a huge event with him! For this, the map has changed in many places. We show the most important innovations.
This is the Deadpool event: The Marvel character Deadpool made sporadic appearances in Fortnite in recent weeks. Players had to complete tasks to get his skin. Since yesterday, April 4th, Deadpool has officially arrived through a big live event.
The superhero is hosting a massive party in Fortnite and every player can join. The yacht, located at the upper end of the map, is being used for this.
The most important map changes for the Deadpool event
This is the party yacht: The entire yacht in Fortnite has become the Deadpool area. You can already recognize it on the map, as the yacht is marked as a childlike drawing.
Once you arrive at the yacht, you see Deadpool’s face everywhere. A giant statue shows Deadpool holding a disco ball in his hand.
On the walls, you will find famous artworks, all depicting Deadpool. This includes “The Scream” by Edvard Munch.
Besides all the Deadpool highlights, there are currently some of the biggest battles happening there. After all, everyone wants to land on the party ship. So pay close attention to your surroundings when you visit.
Famous paintings, but in the Deadpool version (Source: Forbes)
This is how the battle bus has changed: Even at the start of the round, you can tell that you are in the Deadpool event. The battle bus is being carried by a giant Deadpool balloon, and it’s clear that the superhero has arrived in Fortnite.
How can you become Deadpool? If you haven’t had enough of the superhero yet, you can transform into him. To do this, you must first complete several tasks.
The Spring Playoffs in League of Legends started on April 3. The first match in Europe features the champion G2 Esports against MAD Lions. This encounter brought a big surprise.
What was played? In the Spring Playoffs, the 6 best teams from each region compete for a prize pool, the championship title, and participation in the MSI, an international tournament.
In the first match, the European champion and runner-up G2 Esports faced a chosen opponent.
They chose MAD Lions, who finished the Spring Split in a solid 4th place. The team consists of many young talents playing alongside the well-known mid-laner Humanoid from Team Splyce.
Everyone expected G2 to win the “Best of 5” decisively. The successful team only made a role swap, the players are the same as in the previous year. They ended the current split with 15 wins and 3 losses, one of those, however, against MAD Lions.
Perkz swapped roles with Caps this year and is playing in the mid lane.
At minute 4, a major fight broke out in the middle, where G2 Esports secured the first blood, but Shad0w, the mid-laner of MAD Lions, countered with a kill, making it 1:1. The match remained closely contested for a long time:
At minute 15, the MAD Lions had 6 kills, their opponents a total of 5.
G2 Esports was ahead by almost 1,000 gold.
However, with a team fight at minute 23, MAD Lions took control of the game. They defeated 3 opponents with a great action from the top laner Orome, who flanked the opposing team.
They subsequently secured the Baron buff and had the game under control. After 36 minutes, the surprise was complete. MAD Lions won the first match.
Joy at the MAD Lions team when they still played in the official studio.
G2 Esports strikes back quickly twice
What happened next? The second match of the two teams was firmly in the hands of the champions from the start. After just 8 minutes, it was 5:0 in kills because they chose a very aggressive team for the early game.
G2 “played a bit with their food,” as the casters described, and ended the match after 34 minutes.
This is how Match 2 ended, which was strongly dominated by G2 Esports.
Who won Match 3? In the third match, the MAD Lions initially dominated and took a clear 1:5 lead in kills. Then G2 Esports fought back with good fights and equalized kills at 9:9. However, in gold, the champions suddenly led.
They were somewhat overzealous at times:
Three team members of G2 attempted to destroy the inhibitor in the top lane at minute 39, but the MAD Lions were quicker and secured the mid-inhibitor thanks to the Baron buff.
G2 Esports reacted aggressively with a team fight but lost it. Particularly, the mid-laner Perkz didn’t look good in this situation. The MAD Lions team took a 2:1 lead.
How did Match 4 go? Match 4 was almost a copy of the previous duel. The MAD Lions dominated the early game, G2 Esports fought back during the course. This time, however, the champions won a crucial team fight and ended the match after just 25 minutes.
This is how the G2 Esports team celebrated during the World Championship 2019.
In the decisive match, Caps makes the mistake
How did the decisive match go? In the last duel between the two teams, G2 Esports initially dominated. Supporter Mikyx secured the first blood in the jungle. At minute 10, the champions were leading 5:2 in kills and had a 1,000 gold lead.
In a strong team fight in the top lane, the underdog fought back, equalizing both kills and gold. From that point on, it was a back-and-forth for both teams until minute 25. Suddenly the match became very curious:
The MAD Lions tried to secure the Baron buff. In response, top laner Wunder and Caps attacked an inhibitor in the bot lane and a Nexus tower together.
The other members of G2 Esports, however, died while trying to interrupt the Baron buff.
MAD Lions returned to base just in time and fended off the attackers before worse could happen. Nevertheless, the bot lane was now vulnerable.
G2 Esports attempted to attack the weak spot in several, sometimes desperate, actions. The best chance came from Caps and Mikyx, who together attacked the Nexus at minute 33.
Caps made a strange move as Ziggs, propelling himself away from the Nexus and thus missing an auto attack. Fatal, because the Nexus was below 10% health when both G2 players were defeated.

The MAD Lions, now on over 10,000 gold and 16 kills ahead, were then able to win a team fight and overwhelm the champions’ entire base.
And thus, the sensation was perfect.
MAD Lions secure at least 3rd place
What does this mean for the teams? G2 Esports has fallen into the loser bracket of the playoffs due to the defeat. There they have the chance to fight their way back to the top over several games. The path will now be significantly more difficult.
The MAD Lions, on the other hand, have already secured 3rd place due to the interesting bracket system. This is likely to please many in the young team.
The next matches continue today, April 4 at 5:00 PM, with the match between Fnatic and Origen. On Sunday, Misfits and Rogue will face each other. Both matches will also be played in the “Best of 5” format.

The MMORPG Legends of Aria is oriented towards old-school MMORPGs and was supposed to be a home for fans of Ultima Online. However, it is currently struggling with low player numbers. Now, a paid DLC has been released that is supposed to turn things around.
How is Legends of Aria doing? The sandbox MMORPG is currently in Early Access and in a difficult position. The core idea of creating your own worlds, where you as a host can change the rules, is really good and led players to have great hopes for Legends of Aria, then still known as Shards Online.
In the last 30 days, an average of less than 100 players have logged into the sandbox game on Steam daily. At its peak, Legends of Aria had over 1,000 players in August 2019 (via Steamcharts). Although there is also a standalone client, many players report of very empty servers on Steam. In the last 30 days, only 50% of the 57 reviews were positive.
Legends of Aria – Player numbers on Steam
Note: The article was first published on March 18 and updated on April 4 with new info about the DLC.
DLC to Provide Endgame Content
What is changing in Legends of Aria? On April 2, the first DLC for the free MMORPG in Early Access was released. Dark Sorcery costs $19.99 and is supposed to finally provide endgame content.
The new features are:
New skills related to dark magic
A new dungeon called “The Monolith”
A new boss
General content for crafting and cosmetics
An exclusive mount for pre-orders
According to the developers, the DLC has been in development for a long time. Work on it began before the Steam release in August 2019. But can this update steer the MMORPG in the right direction?

What are the reactions to the DLC? The YouTube video currently (April 4 at 12:30 PM) has nearly 4,700 views and almost three times as many thumbs down as up (39 Upvotes, 101 Downvotes).
There is significant criticism regarding the fact that a game in Early Access, which is still unfinished, wants to offer paid content:
T T comments under the video: “The 100 players will surely be happy to pay 20 euros for a DLC to an unfinished and unoptimized game.”
Thomas Hellmann also reacts negatively: “Really? The game is still in Early Access… Get your tasks done, optimize the game, and then we can talk about DLCs. And yes… I already paid $30 for the game.”
So far, there have mostly been negative reactions to the DLC on Steam. Many hope that the base game will first work well and especially receive endgame content before money needs to be spent.
For many, there have also been too many directional changes in the game. The user Stoned Doggo describes the situation as follows:
This game is a huge mess, I have played over 1000 hours, but it is not visible here because I played before the Steam release.
The developers constantly change direction, and now they announce an expensive DLC with new content – that’s a joke. A paid DLC for an unfinished game. When you invest hundreds of hours in a game to achieve something, and then suddenly see your efforts reset to 0 because of a patch, then you get this game.
Great effort to look like Ultima Online, but you should better play on community servers because the official servers are bad.
How long will LoA remain in Early Access? According to Project Lead Derek “Supreem” Brinkmann, the DLC is supposed to be a milestone towards the full release of the MMORPG.
There are plans to soon release a plan for the end of Early Access (via Legends of Aria).
What does MeinMMO author Alexander Leitsch say? I have only spent a few hours in Legends of Aria myself and certainly have not yet seen its full potential. However, the beginning did not captivate me.
Even though the idea of the MMORPG sounded good on paper, I found the implementation so far lacking. The low player count will not help either. Most especially use a community server that is heavily based on Ultima Online.
On the weekend from April 3rd to 6th, 2020, some online games will be offered for free that you would normally have to buy. We have identified all current games for you that you can temporarily play for free on PC (Steam/Epic Games Store) or the consoles PS4 and Xbox One.

In Pokémon GO there are adjustments to the current April Fools’ event. This gives you a better chance of obtaining the new Shiny Glibunkel.
What was the problem? Glibunkel was introduced through the current April Fools’ event. The problem was that it was quite rare, and therefore you had very few Shiny checks.
In response, Niantic adjusted the event so that Glibunkel now appears significantly more frequently.
How the current event was altered
These are the adjustments: To give you a better chance of getting the new Shiny, the following changes have been made:
Glibunkel appears more frequently in the wild and in eggs
Griffel, on the other hand, will be somewhat less common in the wild
The quest “Catch 3 Ditto,” which rewards Glibunkel, will be increased
The chance of getting a Shiny Glibunkel is good
What does this mean for players? Those looking for Shiny Glibunkel will be pleased with these adjustments. The odds of getting a Shiny are still 1 in 450, but with the numerous Glibunkel in the wild, you can certainly hope for a Shiny.
Here is some criticism from players: Many trainers do not understand why there are fewer spawns of Griffel, while Voltobal and Tarnpignon continue to appear so frequently.
As TaunTaun_22 writes on reddit: “I don’t think Griffel needs a spawn nerf, unlike Voltobal and Tarnpignon. But I would gladly take more Glibunkel!”
How long will the event last? The event will continue until April 7 at 10:00 PM local time. So you have until Tuesday evening to catch the increased Glibunkel. Afterwards, the Easter event will begin.
Keep in mind that there is currently a risk of contracting the coronavirus. The Federal Center for Health Education recommends staying home as much as possible, keeping a safe distance from others, and avoiding gatherings. Niantic has taken various measures so that you can play Pokémon GO from home.

In Destiny 2, a bug is currently causing issues and preventing players from receiving rewards from the Trials of Osiris. It is particularly frustrating that this problem was thought to be fixed.We will tell you whether you are also affected.
This is the bug: Those who were looking forward to exciting PvP matches in the Trials of Osiris and wanted to hunt down powerful rewards need to be careful right now. Because due to an annoying bug, you will not receive loot after 3, 5, and 7 victories. Only the loot from the Flawless Chest is safe.
How to check if you are affected: Not all Guardians will be hit by the loot bug. If you can see legendary rewards in the PvP menu under “Trials of Osiris” at the bottom, next to the victories and defeats, everything is fine – you are not affected.
However, if you cannot read anything about rewards, you do not need to play with this character this weekend. Because you cannot even redeem your Trials tokens, as this can only be done through rewards after victories.
This is what it looks like if you are affected:
If you see no rewards, there are none – This week, it hit me too
An update was supposed to have fixed the loot bug
Why the bug is particularly frustrating: In recent weeks, a loot bug in the Trials has caused long faces. On Tuesday (March 31), Update 2.8.0.2 for Destiny 2 was released, which was supposed to fix the problem.
As it turns out, not everything has been fixed with the hotfix. Still, not every Guardian is receiving their hard-earned rewards.
Meanwhile, Bungie has also commented and confirmed that players affected by the bug will not be able to receive rewards this week:

When will a solution come? According to Bungie, the solution for affected players will only come next week. According to German time, on Saturday, April 11, at 7 PM.
How the community is reacting: The Destiny players are divided. Some lack understanding for the situation and are very upset. Also because it was officially stated that the problems had been resolved.
I understand that all of you [Bungie] have a life and that Covid-19 also affects you, but goddamn Bungie, when you say something is fixed, make sure it is fixed. People feel lied to, and it is completely unfair to those who have farmed for hours to get this far.
Are you also affected by the annoying loot bug? The timing of the renewed problem in the Trials could hardly be worse, as Bungie just a few days ago announced their plans to save the Trials.
