A new patch for the crazy shooter hit Borderlands 3 does not focus on weapons or game characters, but targets new players instead. They were often overleveled and just ran through the areas.
That was the problem: Gearbox noticed that players were overleveled in some areas. The enemies were therefore too easy, and side missions were ignored.
We noticed that new players were entering certain areas always with too high a level for the content they were playing. This made these areas too easy, as the enemies were much weaker than intended for this point in the game. We also saw that some side missions were mostly ignored later in the game due to these balance irregularities. With the balance adjustments, we are bringing the enemies back to the average level with which players enter these locations.
Various areas and side missions on Nekrotafeyo, one of the last planets in Borderlands 3.
The enemies in the Forge, a prison level on Eden-6, should now match the average level of the players.
However, these changes only affect new characters, as Gearbox stated it still wants to improve balance progress.
Patch coming for PC on March 13 – No date for other platforms
The patch goes live for PC players on March 13 with the Steam release at 3:00 PM and can already be downloaded from the Epic Games Store.
If you haven’t downloaded the hotfix yet, wait for a notification in the main menu. It will inform you that the hotfix can be applied and will restart the game.
Then the patch will be released for PS4 and Xbox One: There is no exact date for this balance patch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or even Stadia and Mac. However, it is expected to be released sometime this month.
What else is included: The rest of the patch includes small improvements and fixes to character skill descriptions. Additionally, other weapons will receive some adjustments, as some became stronger in the last hotfix.
In this level guide for Season 20 in Diablo 3, we show you how to quickly level up to level 70. We explain the individual steps and why a Challenge Rift is worthwhile.
What are we showing here? In this article, you will learn how to effectively level your characters. After deciding on a class, the big goal in Season 20 of Diablo 3 is to quickly reach level 70. Because that’s when the fun really begins.
With this guide, we are less focused on beginners who are playing Diablo 3 for the first time. Rather, we are addressing experienced players and returning players who have spent some hours playing Diablo 3 in the past.
Quick leveling in Season 20 of Diablo 3
During the last seasons of D3, the leveling methods have hardly changed. We recommend starting with a Challenge Portal and Kanai’s Cube. We explain the tactics here.
Start with a Challenge Portal
The preparation: To start with Season 20, you first need to create a seasonal character. Make sure to check “Seasonal Hero” so that the character is eligible for Season 20. Are you still unsure which class to choose? Then ask the Wheel of Fate at this point.
Enter the game with the character and exit straight back to the menu. Now, start the Challenge Portal in the game settings and complete it. It is especially important that you select your seasonal character before starting the Challenge Portal.
Note: This is only possible if you have completed a Greater Nephalem Rift in Diablo 3 before. If you haven’t done this with your account yet, you can skip this step.
What does the portal provide? You take this step to collect the reward. This consists of bounty materials (15 of each), 35 Death Breath, 475 Blood Shards, crafting materials, and 4.6 million gold. This makes leveling easier for you.
What’s next?
Now start a new game in adventure mode at the difficulty level “Master”
Once there, open the bag you received as a reward for completing the Challenge Portal
Equip the Templar’s weapon (or another companion’s weapon)
Optional – Complete a boss bounty. Maghda, Zoltun Kull, Belial, or the Skeleton King are particularly suitable. If one of these bosses has a bounty, you should complete it – it provides strong items for you. If there is no bounty, skip this step
Getting important items: After unlocking Kanai’s Cube, go to town and fully upgrade the Blacksmith. At his place, you will now craft a level 70 weapon or armor. You will enhance the item in Kanai’s Cube to a legendary item and extract its power to unlock it passively. This way, you can use the passive power of the level 70 weapon already at level 1.
You just need to hope that the right piece turns out when upgrading the weapon or armor.
Reddit user Rattlez explains from which level you should exchange Blood Shards with Kadala or upgrade an item in the Cube to obtain a strong legendary property for leveling and how great the chances are for that.
Class
Blood Shards
Cube Upgrade
Barbarian
Bracers (lvl 1)
Powerful 1H Weapon – 6/8 Powerful 2H Weapon – 3/6
Crusader
Shield / Bracers (lvl 1)
2H Mace – 6/8 1H Mace – 4/7
DH
Bracers (lvl 1)
Dagger – 2/2
Monk
Shoes / Bracers (lvl 1)
Fist Weapon – 8/12 Daibo – 4/8
Necromancer
Gloves (lvl 1) – Rings = risky
2H Scythe – 4/4
Witch Doctor
Mojo (lvl 1), Voodoo Mask (lvl 34)
Ceremonial Knife – 8/12
Wizard
Source (lvl 33) – Rings (lvl 28) = risky
1H Wand – 6/10
The Demon Hunter and Necromancer both have a 100% chance to acquire a strong ability.
Depending on your chosen class, certain items are available for you to exchange at level 1 with Kadala in the town. You received Blood Shards from the reward bag. You can find out which items drop for you at what level on D3planner.com
Level 1-24
Through the preparation shown above, you may now start with a strong buff in Season 20. By unlocking Kanai’s Cube, you may have already leveled up as you cleared mobs on the way there. Now the “real” leveling begins.
Depending on your playstyle, you will either level up with Massacre bonuses in the Halls of Agony on levels 1-3 or focus on completing Nephalem Rifts. For solo players, Massacre bonuses are ideal. In groups, these are best until level 30 and then switch to normal Nephalem Rifts.
You will continue leveling with Massacre bonuses or Nephalem Rifts until level 24.
Every 8-10 levels you can visit the Blacksmith and try to craft a better weapon
Regularly check in with the vendors in town. They might sell you rings or amulets with the affix “+ Damage”. These are great for leveling
If you loot a head item with a socket, you should best put a red gem in there, which will give you more experience points. If you have weapons with sockets, red gems are also good here. They directly provide more damage.
Level 24 – 40
Now you should adjust your difficulty. Mobs should die quickly, but not too quickly. With 1 to 3 hits, the trash mobs should die. If you feel that this is too easy, increase the difficulty.
Leveling is now best done in Nephalem Rifts.
Solo players just need to make sure to clear them quickly
Group players assign one player to close the portal after the Rift boss dies – then they join the other players to continue killing mobs in the remaining 30 seconds
If you reach level 40, fully train the Mystic.
Now craft a yellow 2H weapon for level 70 at the Blacksmith. Make as many as needed until one of the secondary bonuses with %-affix occurs (% chance to freeze, stun, etc.).
If you have such a weapon with this affix, go to the Mystic and reroll the other secondary bonus. The goal is a level reduction that comes as close to 30 levels as possible.
As soon as you can equip the weapon, then raise the difficulty. Start on Torment 6 and then slowly adjust down. This immense damage of the weapon should push you far ahead.
If everything goes according to plan for you, you are now really powerful. Because you have a level 70 weapon already at level 40 and also a legendary property in Kanai’s Cube and, depending on your class, equipment from Kadala.
Level 40 – 70
If you can already equip the level 70 weapon, you now start the Nephalem Rifts at a high Torment level. Otherwise, continue doing these at a lower difficulty until you can equip the weapon.
You will grind through the Nephalem Rifts on Torment 3 to 6 until reaching level 70. Keep in mind that in the higher levels the difficulty might need to be reduced again because the enemies hit hard there.
What’s next? Once you have reached level 70, the season really begins for most players. Now complete Haedrig’s season journey and grab Haedrig’s gifts as a reward. These are the sets you receive as gifts in Season 20.
What build should one play? Initially, the build largely depends on what items you find while leveling or shortly thereafter. It’s worth working towards strong builds if you want to make progress in Greater Nephalem Rifts.
Which killer is actually the coolest in Dead by Daylight and which one is really boring? We want to find out with this survey.
Over the years, more and more killers have sneaked into the world of the Entity of Dead by Daylight. From the initially only 3 killers, there are now a proud 19, each refined in their abilities.
While at first there were only the Trapper and melee attacks, later killers with a “Stalker” mechanic followed, along with ranged attackers and even well-known characters like the Demogorgon from “Stranger Things” or Freddy Krueger from “A Nightmare on Elm Street.”
If you don’t have all the killers in mind right now, here’s a quick summary of all 19 killers from Dead by Daylight:
The Trapper: A man with a mask who lures his enemies into bear traps and must cleverly place them on the map to drive the survivors into them.
The Wraith: He can become invisible and must ring his bell to become visible again and ambush the survivors.
The Hillbilly: A deformed face and his ominous chainsaw characterize him, which he not only uses to deliver one-hits but also to rush quickly across the map.
The Nurse: A mysterious, floating woman who can teleport through walls and objects to suddenly appear behind her victim.
The Huntress: A tall woman who throws throwing axes at her enemies while humming a tune, killing them from a distance.
The Shape: The infamous villain Michael Myers, who quietly observes survivors to gain strength and take them out with a single blow.
The Hag: A walking corpse that sets traps with dark voodoo magic and creates copies of herself to which she can teleport.
The Doctor: A mad doctor who shocks his “patients,” making them scream loudly and giving them delusions.
The Cannibal: Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre. He also has a chainsaw, but he uses it to slice multiple survivors at once.
The Nightmare: Freddy Krueger, the child murderer, lures survivors to sleep and then plagues them with deadly nightmares in a world he controls.
The Pig: Amanda from the SAW films. Wearing a pig mask, she sneaks up to set deadly traps on her victims’ heads, which they must get rid of in a short time or die from immediately.
The Clown: A sadistic clown who cuts off his victims’ fingers after overpowering them with toxic gases.
The Spirit: A dismembered girl who returns as a ghost and executes her victims with a katana.
The Legion: A group of teenagers who have gone down the wrong path and now slit their victims with a knife.
The Plague: A former high priestess who died of a plague. Now she hunts survivors with this plague and spreads deadly diseases.
Ghost Face: The killer behind the Scream films. A crazy murderer who craves attention to see his deeds in the newspapers.
The Demogorgon: The monster from Stranger Things. It knows only hunger and switches to “the other side” to crawl through a network of tunnels and strike unseen.
The Oni: A samurai turned demon who drains the blood of his victims with a katana, only to fall into a brutal frenzy.
The Deathslinger: An inventive man from the Wild West who spears the survivors with his spear gun and reels them in to take them out.
That’s the killers in short – now it’s your turn! We want to know which of these killers is the coolest.
Which killer is the coolest?
How should one rate? Whether you decide based on his effectiveness in the game, his general appearance, or his backstory is entirely up to you. We just want to know which killer you find the coolest.
However, please remember that you only have one vote.
If you want to justify your answer a bit further, feel free to leave a comment and explain to us why your killer is the best.
Are you still looking for the perfect killer for you? We have detailed all killers with their strengths and weaknesses here:
Currently, the dino survival MMO ARK: Survival Evolved is in the Genesis expansion. Our author Sascha Asendorf tells you what has happened in the ARK story so far.
The dino survival MMO ARK: Survival Evolved is known for its large number of creatures that can be tamed and ridden. Establishing tribes, building bases, and the endless gathering of resources are also part of the overall picture of the survival title.
Update March 13, 2020: We have expanded the story with Genesis Part 1.
Who would have thought that a truly interesting story is hidden deep within the game, which runs through all the DLCs? Our author Sascha tells you what you need to know about the story to stay up-to-date.
Attention Spoilers! If you want to experience the story for yourself, you should go through the DLCs with open eyes. The story is largely told through the Explorer Notes hidden throughout the game world. Also, cutscenes that appear after defeating the respective final bosses show you what is currently happening.
What are the ARKs?
The ARKs in which you find yourself as a player are artificial ecosystems. They were transported from Earth into space before a global catastrophe and serve as a rescue platform for living organisms like humans, creatures, and plants.
The ARKs float peacefully above the Earth.
Powering the biomes are three large obelisks. They are also connected to the Overseer towers, which maintain the force field to protect the world from the dangerous radiation in space.
The Explorer Notes for the Extinction DLC mention that the ARKs themselves are full of system errors. Helena Walker, one of the authors of the notes, believes that the worlds have thus become the deadly traps as you know them today.
A so-called “Reseed Protocol” is supposed to ensure that the ARKs return to Earth and re-fertilize it. However, due to another system error, this is currently not possible.
Events on The Island – How ARK began
Your adventure begins on The Island, the original map of the dino survival game. Here you gather the first experience points for your character, tame the first dinos, and build your base.

Scattered around the island, you will also find the Explorer Notes – notes from the people who previously lived on The Island. The most important characters accompany you throughout the entire game:
Helena Walker, a biologist from Australia, wrote the well-known Dino dossiers in addition to some notes in 2008.
Gaius Marcellus Nerva is a Roman centurion who concentrates primarily on dominance and unites all tribes under him.
Sir Edmund Rockwell is a chemist from the 19th century. He focused on various experiments and is especially known for his recipes for Kibbles and the Reset potion.
Mei-Yin Li comes from the time of the Three Kingdoms in China. She is a solo warrior and has tamed a dangerous pack of raptors over time.
These four people come from different eras but interacted in the ARK during the same time. The notes indicate that the human mind is tied to the implants you wear as a player on your arm. Your body, however, is constantly being cloned by the ARK. Thus, it is possible to bring together people from all time periods.
Helena, Nerva, Rockwell, and Mei don’t always work together in the ARK but also wage wars against each other, just like most players do. Over time, however, they have deciphered the secrets and managed to leave the ARK.
Many players faced this
Some of you may have focused on the endgame. The goal on The Island is to collect artifacts from the caves of the island to open a portal to one of three arenas at the obelisks. Up to 10 players and 20 creatures can face a guardian in a boss fight here. The most important rewards from these battles are the heads of the bosses as well as the unlocking of the first TEK engrams – recipes for technologically advanced armor, weapons, or buildings.
The Broodmother is one of the first bosses in the game.
Once you have the three heads of the guardians, you can open the gate to a TEK cave. At the end of this challenging cave, there is another teleporter designed for up to 10 players. This will take you to the Overseer tower, where the final boss fight awaits you.
The Overseer’s Tower
A special highlight in this tower is the view. You can discover various holograms of Earth, each showing you the past, present, and future. Holograms of people and dinos let you recognize that this must be the station where everyone is cloned.
Just before the room with the final boss, you can look down at The Island through the holes in the floor and realize that you are in space.
Defeat the Overseer at the end, and a cutscene sends you across space. Only now do you see the many ARKs floating above the Earth like a web until you finally reach your destination: Scorched Earth.

Path of Exile (PC, PS4, Xbox One) enters the next round. We reveal what the new league Delirium has in store and when it will start.
What is Delirium?The new league of the hack and slash Path of Exile, Delirium, introduces several rows of innovations that focus on players taking significant risks in order to receive especially valuable rewards. This is meant to make Path of Exile even more exciting and interesting.
The developers want to return to the original virtues of the action RPG genre. Namely, that you cannot get good items for free; you must take risks to obtain them.

What exactly does the league bring? There are a number of new and very interesting features, including:
The Delirium Mirror: A mirror appears in every area. If you touch it, you find yourself in a foggy area filled with particularly tough enemies. You have one minute to defeat as many of them as possible to earn valuable rewards.
Delirium Orbs: If you find these orbs, you can use them on your maps to transform them into Delirium Maps. Playing these cards will then present you with particularly nasty enemies.
Cluster Gems: These gems expand the passive skill tree. You attach the gems to the outer sockets of skills to further enhance them. This essentially creates a personalized skill tree.
New items, skills, UI adjustments, and keystones that offer you more opportunities to fully utilize your hero are also part of Delirium.
The Delirium league starts in Path of Exile.
Important Information about Delirium
When does the Delirium league start on PC? The servers for the PC version will go offline today at 6 PM. A three-hour downtime is planned. You should be able to play again at 9 PM, barring any delays.
When does it start on PS4 and Xbox One? Owners of a PlayStation 4 or an Xbox One will have to wait a little longer for the new expansion. Delirium starts for consoles on March 18. The developers cannot yet name an exact time. The update is expected to be rolled out around 8 PM.
What do players think about Delirium? There is a lot of discussion about the launch of Delirium. The respective thread on Reddit is practically exploding. The Path of Exile Delirium Patch Notes are a hotly debated topic.
Generally, players are very curious about how the changes will affect builds, gameplay, and the game overall. We will see this evening.
Are you generally interested in hack ‘n slashes and want to know which ones will be released this year? We have compiled a list for you.
While many are waiting for the PlayStation 5 release and news, a user has modified his PlayStation 4 Pro. This includes a fast SSD as well as a water cooling system. It looks really cool and is extremely quiet.
Many “PlayStation 4” owners find Sony’s console too loud and it’s cumbersome to clean the fans later. On reddit, J_MAGG has now shown that you can make your PlayStation 4 Pro very quiet.
What exactly did the user do? On reddit, he presented his PlayStation 4 Pro. He disassembled it and then heavily modified it.
He not only replaced the HDD with a fast SSD, but also connected the console to a computer power supply and provided his PS4 Pro with water cooling.
The end result, how the PlayStation 4 Pro looks with the water cooling, can be seen in the following video that we have embedded here for you:

What benefits does the water cooling provide for the PS4 Pro? The thread starter J_MAGG shows what advantages this modification of the PS4 Pro offers:
System boot time: The boot time of the PlayStation is significantly reduced, in the video it takes about 20 seconds.
Noise level: The PlayStation 4 Pro is very quiet and is 35 to 40 decibels loud – that corresponds to whispering or a quiet street at night.
Game load times: Significantly reduced load times thanks to the installed SSD: In Fortnite, the load times were reduced from two and a half minutes (HDD) to one and a half minutes (SSD).
Temperature: The temperature remains constant at around 30°C.
He shows the advantages in another video. Here he also demonstrates the comparison between the old HDD and the newly installed SSD by timing it with his smartphone:

In a concluding third video (via Youtube.com), he then shows in about 15 minutes how he disassembles the PlayStation 4 Pro and how he mounts the new parts and what exactly he paid attention to.
What did the water cooling cost? The user explains that he paid about 1100 dollars for the upgrade of the PS4 Pro.
PlayStation 4 Pro gets water cooling, users are excited
What other users say: Most users are totally enthusiastic about the water-cooled PS4:
User tidesss writes: “That looks so damn cool. My PS4 Pro sounds like an airplane as soon as I play games like God of War, and it’s been like that ever since I bought the PlayStation.”
The user MountDracula69 says: “This is absolutely fantastic. I break out in a sweat every time I open my PS4 just to clean the fans and heatsink.”
However, there are also critical voices regarding the reddit post.
So says RIP-Offsonic: “This is one of the dumbest investments I have ever seen. With this money, I could have bought a PC that is significantly more powerful and quieter [than this PlayStation].”
The PlayStation 4 looks really cool in the video. Would you also equip your PlayStation 4 with a water cooling system, or would that be too big of a risk for you?
In Pokémon GO, a new event and a special research will start on March 20, 2020. Both revolve around the mysterious Pokémon Genesect, which will be introduced in the game.
What happens on March 20? This coming Friday, two special events will start simultaneously, both at 8:00 AM local time:
The mysterious weekend event
The special research adventure “Modular Investigations”
Special research “Modular Investigations” brings Genesect
What kind of special researches are these? Professor Willow has found a trail of destruction caused by a Pokémon. Now it’s up to the trainers to find out who is responsible.
To do this, you need to complete several special researches that will eventually lead to an encounter with Genesect.
How long will the event last? The special research adventure will take place from Friday, March 20, 2020 at 8 AM to Thursday, March 26, 2020 at 10 PM (local time).
What do I need for the special research? To participate in the event, you will need a ticket. It costs 7.99 euros and includes, in addition to the special research, a number of tasks and rewards:
The medal “Modular Investigations”.
Research tasks related to Bug and Steel Pokémon.
Research projects that lead to an encounter with Fermicula, which otherwise only appears in certain regions of the world.
An avatar accessory.
Various items, including 5 premium battle passes, 3 super incubators, 3 charge TMs, 3 quick TMs and 1 glacier lure module.
Pokémon Go accessories from the Genesect event
Will I get Genesect only through the event? For now, you can only obtain the new Pokémon through the special research for 7.99 euros. However, Genesect is expected to come to EX raids in April, as was the case with Regigigas.
A weekend around Genesect
What is this mysterious event? Simultaneously with the new special researches, the event “A weekend around Genesect” will also start.
At this event, you will have the following bonuses:
Normal, Fire, Water, Electric, and Ice Pokémon will appear more frequently in the wild. You will also encounter Pokémon like Jigglypuff, Magnemite, Marill, Houndour, and Snubbull more often.
Nincada appears in the wild or hatches from 5-km eggs. With a bit of luck, you might even catch or hatch a Shiny!
Larvitar and Snorunt will hatch more frequently from 5-km eggs.
In raid battles of levels 1 to 4, Bug and Steel Pokémon will appear.
Additionally, there will be double bonuses on catch stardust and hatch stardust.
How long will the event last? The event will take place from Friday, March 20, 2020 at 8 AM to Monday, March 23, 2020 at 10 PM (local time).
Scyther will appear more frequently this weekend, along with other bugs
However, the two events surrounding Genesect will not be significantly affected in Germany. All tasks can be performed individually and at any location in the world. Additionally, the special researches have been extended by a few days to avoid large crowds.
PlayStation 4 players received the first major ARK Genesis update on March 13. The PS4 patch mainly consists of bug fixes and adjustments that improve the gaming experience. Even the most annoying feature has been nerfed.
This is in the patch: The approximately 8 GB PS4 Update 545.11 mainly includes bug fixes and minor changes. We look at the patch notes and translate them into English:
The drop rate of high-quality loot in missions has been reduced by 40%.
Area damage of the TEK missiles and their explosion radius have been decreased.
Usage of cryopods during the final boss is now limited.
Building structures during the final boss is no longer possible.
Diverse visual fixes.
Diverse exploit and bug fixes.
Most annoying feature of ARK Genesis finally nerfed in PS4 update
One of the current main criticisms in ARK Genesis is the high difficulty, even though others praise it. The starting area, the swamp biome, is for example terrorized by swarms of insects.
The little nasty creatures attack all living beings and players. Especially beginners have a hard time dealing with them. However, the new PS4 patch should ease the situation:
Beelzebufo deals 2.5 times damage to insect swarms.
Fire deals 1.5 times damage to insect swarms.
Insect swarms also have 50% less health points.
This should make the swamp biome much more bearable. Just equip a torch, which you can easily craft early in the game with few resources, and set the swarms on fire.
When will the patch be released for PC and Xbox One players?
Xbox One players have already received a small pre-patch on March 11, which has at least fixed some performance issues. However, it may still take a few days before the current update is rolled out on Xbox One and PC.
PC players can expect the patch during March 14.
Xbox One players will have to wait until next week.

The Twitch streamer Ashkan “TF Blade” Homayouni wants to set a record in League of Legends and become number 1 in solo queue in every country in the world. His current attempt in Korea is failing. A ban from Riot Korea catches him. He thinks it is racism, but a Korean streamer explains to him what he did wrong.
This is TF Blade’s plan: The Twitch streamer travels to a country for several weeks, sets up camp there, and plays intensely in the ranked solo queue of LoL until he is the best in that country and ranks number 1. This is extremely entertaining for his Twitch viewers.
He has reached the number 1 goal on 4 servers: on both EU servers, in North America, and on LAS, in South America. But attempts to extend the record repeatedly fail due to cultural problems and the temperament of the streamer.
Now he traveled – despite the coronavirus – to South Korea and worked on his ascent to the top there. The Korean solo queue is considered the toughest in LoL worldwide. Again, tens of thousands watched him on average while he attempted his ascent. In the last 30 days, TF Blade was the fifth largest channel on Twitch overall, with an average of 17,168 viewers.
TF Blade has the 5th most viewed channel in the last 30 days: People want to see his record.
TF Blade escalates in the LoL chat: It wasn’t that bad
This costs him the record: TF Blade has been banned from LoL in Korea. He lost his nerves in a LoL match on March 5 and typed several pages in the chat log, criticizing the jungler.
TF Blade was playing Jax as a top laner, but his jungler misbehaved in TF Blade’s eyes. A long chat log over 3 pages shows that TF Blade must have typed like a machine gun.
He asks:
“Why does the jungler have to be so bad?”
“Is he stupid?”
His invade was “dog shit”
TF Blade is known for the top lane character, Jax.
When the LoL ban from Riot Korea later came, the Twitch streamer could not believe it. TF Blade believes that the ban is unfair. He said nothing serious to the jungler.
The Twitch streamer even believes that Riot has it out for him and that it is already racist.
No racism, but cultural differences
How do others see it? The Korean Twitch streamer Lee “Rush” Yoon-jae commented on this. However, he believes that the ban is justified. In Korea, there are different standards than in North America. Here, people are very concerned about keeping a clean chat.
Many Koreans are experiencing someone who speaks English for the first time and are confronted with such swear words for the first time, which they only know from television.
Also, the accounts of Rito that TF Blade plays with are under special observation.
TF Blade announced that he would abandon his record attempt in South Korea and fly home.

E-Girl offers you the opportunity to pay women to play an MMO with you. So you rent a girl to play – from video games, of course!
What is an E-Girl? They actually exist: Women who enjoy playing video games! Yes, this is now widely known, as seen with Twitch streamers like Ewok. But who are these women? What gamer skills do they have, and is there a way for them to play with you? Yes. The Website E-Girl – Never Battle Alone introduces you to female gamers, and you can even “rent” them.
E-Girls/E-Boys generally refer to young people who stand out due to their appearance, clothing style, and specific makeup, particularly showcased through social media apps like TikTok or Twitch.
On the E-Girl website, you rent women to play video games with them.
Pay women to play with you
Do you really have to pay the women? Yes. The website shows you the profiles of the E-Girls, and you can message everyone and then play with her. But it costs money. You will see how much she charges in her profile.
What does the profile show? In addition to a picture of the woman and the price she charges, you find out which games she plays, what skills she has, and when she is available.
You can chat with the women and also see if they are currently online. You can additionally listen to their voice.
Which games can be selected? You have a range of multiplayer games to choose from:
Can I also participate? Of course. On the E-Girls website, there is a “Become an E-Girl” button. You can sign up and create a profile through it.
Do you have to be a woman? No. Although the website is called E-Girl, you can also find men who will play with you. You indicate whether you are male or female during registration.
How do you rent an E-Girl? If you have looked at the profiles of the girls and found one you’d like to play with, click the “Order” button in her profile. A window will then open where you can specify what times and how many games you would like to play.
After that, you need to wait for the woman’s approval. The game will start at the agreed time.

Does it really work? The YouTuber CloudwhiteVentures tried the service and made a video about it. And indeed, it actually works. He finds a young woman right away, who plays with him and talks to him on Discord.
Isn’t there something like this already? Gamer girls have been offering their gaming services through platforms like fiverr.com for some time. It is also possible to “rent” women for a round of an online game through such sites. However, these sites are not specifically targeted at gamers. E-Girl is now a platform dedicated solely to this topic.
Should you use the service? Playing with an E-Girl for fun is surely okay. After all, everyone should know for themselves what they spend their money on. However, you should be able to find enough teammates in your online gaming matchmaking to have fun.
Andreas says: Whether it absolutely has to be a woman or a man…? The gender shouldn’t really matter. The fun is what counts when playing. Ultimately, it is up to everyone whether they use E-Girl. The service seems to be quite harmless, even if it conveys a bit the feeling of “ordering” hostesses.
Would you rent a female player through E-Girl? Let us know in the comments.

In the Warzone of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare there was a major exploit that made a player duo practically immortal. It was so unfair that a fix was immediately deployed.
What was the exploit? The new and popular Battle Royale Warzone uses, as is typical for the genre, a mechanic that makes the playing field gradually smaller. For this, gas is distributed in the death zone that slowly but surely kills players.
The two players MightyKonsti and Steve_Furz also ended up in the gas zone. But instead of dying there, they found a way to continue living indefinitely.
When you die in Call of Duty: Warzone, you first land in a downstate, from which other players can revive you, similar to Borderlands 3 or Guild Wars 2.
However, in Warzone there was no penalty for multiple deaths in a row. Additionally, the hit points were related to how quickly you are revived. And that’s exactly why the two players survived, even though the gas was supposed to kill them.

How did Infinity Ward respond? After the exploit gained notoriety, the developer Infinity Ward responded and released a playlist update on March 12 that fixed this exact issue.
Although there is no exact description of the change, players have reported on reddit that you are now revived with 25% of your hit points.
In the gas zone, this now leads to death so quickly that players can no longer revive each other.
At the start of the game, you jump out of an airplane. However, some players use a dirty tactic
What are the problems with Warzone? Players report on reddit about massive FPS issues and lags. Infinity Ward itself has published a form through which players can report technical issues on PC (via reddit).
This guide will explain how the Seraph Towers work, what rewards are available, and provide tips for a successful completion.
Where does the event start? The “Seraph Tower” activity can be found in Season 10 in three locations:
The EDZ
The Moon
On Io
It begins for all players nearby as soon as the Seraph Tower is manually activated. No keys or resource contributions are required; just operate the control panel in the center.
It is currently unknown if there will be a heroic version during Season 10. We will update the guide here as needed.
The Flow of the “Seraph Tower” Event
This is how the Seraph Tower works: Your goal is to charge the Seraph Tower. You have a total of 7 minutes to do this, and if the timer hits 0, the activity ends immediately. The power level is set at 980.
Unlike what the name suggests, the event consists of not one, but four towers:
1 main tower is located in the center
3 auxiliary towers are spread throughout the area
In addition to the mechanics, countless enemies will make the event more challenging. There are many adds, but occasionally stronger majors as well.
The auxiliary tower needs to be protected. In the background, you can see the main tower of the EDZ
What you need to know about the auxiliary towers: To charge the main tower to 100%, you need the help of the auxiliary towers. One auxiliary tower is active at a time, which is highlighted by a quest marker.
A square area lights up around the auxiliary tower. This is the protection zone into which no enemy should enter. If an enemy is inside the inner area, the indicator will shine red instead of orange.
At regular intervals, the auxiliary tower generates spheres known as “Polarity Charges”. If you manage to keep the tower free from enemies for long enough, you will be rewarded with 6 spheres. If too many enemies enter the area, you will only receive 2 charges.
If you level up your War Mind bunkers, these robots will assist you in combat
What to do with the Polarity Charges? At the auxiliary tower, there is a fiery orb several meters high. If you throw the charges at this fireball, it moves ever closer toward the main tower. You must aim carefully with your throws.
Each fireball successfully delivered to the main tower grants the event about 15% progress. You will need to repeat this step multiple times. To be precise, you have to charge the main tower 7 times.
In summary: Always pay attention to which auxiliary tower you need to protect and drive the fireball with your charges toward the main tower.
Now it’s time to throw the charge against the fireball
Is there a boss fight? You will face two mini-bosses. If you manage to charge the main tower to 100% within the given time, two champions will appear. Defeating them successfully completes the event.
The champions are the adversaries known from the trial by fire. They have barriers or are unstoppable, for example. Make sure to equip the appropriate artifact mods to have a chance.
The most important reward is likely the seasonal currency “War Mind Bits”. You will receive 6 units of it. In addition, there are resources, Glimmer, and random drops.
After the event, the rewards will await you in two chests:
The first chest appears even if time runs out, but you could not complete the event 100%. In this case, you will receive less loot.
The second chest appears only after both champions have been defeated at 100%. To open it, you need “Encrypted War Mind Bits”. It contains the seasonal armor.
Through the bits, you can obtain among other things the powerful seasonal “Seventh Seraph Weapons”. We will explain in detail what the War Mind Bits are all about in a guide to the Seraph War Mind Bunkers soon.
The Encrypted War Mind Bits can be obtained from Rasputin’s bounties or by completing Legendary Lost Sectors.
The War Mind gives you access to the Seraph Weapons
Tips for successfully completing the “Seraph Tower” event
How to find teammates: You can start the activity with 2 other friends. However, especially at the start of the season, many guardians may still be underleveled, and three fighters might not be enough.
Since it’s a public event, you can encounter random other guardians. Using the fast travel feature, you can reload the area until you find yourself in an instance with enough allies.
However, this only works if there is currently no one in your team. So gather together only once you have found enough help.
These weapons are effective: During the activity, it is important to keep the numerous enemies at bay and not allow them to enter the protection zone.
These weapons are particularly good for add-clearing:
These guardian classes are particularly suitable: Basically, you can do well with all classes and characters, and there are no strict guidelines. Your focus in the Seraph Towers isn’t the boss fight but rather the horde of enemies.
As in all PvE activities with many enemies, the rule is:
Warlocks can employ top Stormcaller for add control or bottom Dawnblade.
Titans can use exploding hammers or the mid Solar focus effectively.
Hunters should ideally use their Nightstalker’s arrow. This weakens and binds enemies to keep them away from protection zones.

Twinks in World of Warcraft can rejoice. Essences for the Heart of Azeroth will soon be much easier to obtain. We reveal what Blizzard wants to change.
The players of World of Warcraft have had a major criticism for months a major point of criticism. The essences for the Heart of Azeroth should be more accessible for twinks, as they massively hinder the playability of secondary characters. After all, essences are an important aspect of a character’s power, accounting for 20% – 30% of a character’s performance, but they require extensive grinding.
Now Blizzard has surprisingly given in and is presenting a new method for twinks to obtain essences more easily.
How does it work? On March 18, Blizzard will release a new hotfix for World of Warcraft. With this patch, you will receive a new currency called “Echoes of Ny’alotha” from the current content of Patch 8.3. You can earn this currency from activities such as:
Severe visions
Attacks from N’Zoth (Vale of Eternal Blossoms, Uldum)
Raid bosses
Mythic Keystone dungeons
PvP
The currency is bound to the character and can be used to purchase essences for the Heart of Azeroth at MOTHER at rank 3.
How much currency there will be for the activities and what the prices for the essences will be is still unclear and will be revealed in the coming days. That will also likely determine how easily the essences can be unlocked for twinks.
What are the prerequisites? In order to purchase the essences with secondary characters, it is necessary that you have already unlocked the desired essence at rank 3 on another character. If that is the case, you can also directly unlock the corresponding essence at rank 3 with twinks who have earned “Echoes of Ny’alotha”.
For which essences is it particularly worthwhile? Basically, for all essences available in the game. Especially those that are hidden behind extensive farming work, such as in Mechagon, Nazjatar, or the raid Eternal Palace. These essences often require days or weeks of farming to reach level 3.
Players are thrilled: In the WoW subreddit and on wowhead, players are almost unanimously excited about this change. After all, this is exactly what players have been demanding and wishing for months. Here are a few excerpts from comments:
“PRAISE BE TO OUR LORD N’ZOTH!”
“It was about time.”
“Better late than never, I guess. Good change!”
However, there are also a few rather cynical comments, like the one from Zen_Galactic:
Hm. A massive pandemic is sweeping the country and Blizzard has done something that makes twinks less of a headache. Yes, the end is definitely near.
What do you think of the change? A cool new feature that finally makes twinks playable again? Or does it make everything too easy now?
Many have been waiting for this. In Destiny 2, the Trials of Osiris are finally returning today. Here you will find everything you need to know about this new old PvP flagship activity.
What are the Trials all about? The Trials of Osiris are the most popular Crucible format and the highlight for the PvP elite in Destiny.
Week after week, Guardians came together there to fight their way to the Lighthouse. Because there, coveted Trials loot could be obtained, which could not be found anywhere else.
When do the Trials start in Destiny 2? The Trials of Osiris are a content from Season 10, the Season of Worthy, of Destiny 2.
The start of the first Trials weekend is Friday, March 13, 2020 – probably at 18:00 German time.
In general, the Trials of Osiris are active every Friday to Tuesday (until reset).
Who can participate in the Trials?The requirements: Basically, all Guardians who have reached at least Power Level 960 can participate.
Additionally, a fixed team of 3 is required. Because you will not be matched with other players for the Trials.
Furthermore, you need a Trials Pass, which you can get from Saint-14, the 14th Saint, in the Tower hangar.
How are the Trials played? The Trials are held in a 3vs3 format, with the game mode being elimination. You can revive your teammates, but not yourself.
The team that kills all enemy Guardians first wins the round. If members of both teams are still standing after the round time (2 minutes) expires, a zone spawns that must be captured. If you capture it or eliminate the enemy team, you win.
The team that wins 5 rounds first wins the match and counts a victory on the Trials Pass. You need to reach seven victories. A maximum of 3 losses is allowed. Then you need a new pass.
If you achieve 7 victories without a loss, you’ve achieved a flawless run. For that, you go to the Lighthouse, where you will get top-tier loot.
Power Level advantages are active in the Trials – What does that mean? In short: players with higher power levels deal more damage to Guardians with lower power levels and can take more damage from weaker players.
What about the seasonal artifact in the Trials? The mods of the seasonal artifact will be available in the Trials, but the additional power levels unlocked through the artifact will only be active during the first Trials weekend. After that, the artifact’s bonus levels will be disabled until a cap can be implemented.
How does matchmaking work in the Trials? In the Trials of Osiris, opponents are matched based on the quality of your connection and your number of victories on the current Trials Pass.
Saint-14 – Vendor and Contact for the Trials: The Trials are managed by the 14th Saint. Saint is not only the new announcer (formerly Shaxx) for the matches, he also provides you with everything you need for the Trials:
Trials Bounties
Trials Pass
Trials Engrams in exchange for Trials Tokens
Every Friday, his inventory is updated and remains available until reset the following Tuesday.
What you need to know about Trials Passes: There are a total of 5 different Trials Passes that can be purchased from Saint-14. Each offers its own mechanics.
Pass of Confidence: Receive a bonus reward after a flawless run from the Flawless Chest.
Pass of Grace: Gives you a loss forgiveness per run (not counted as a loss).
Pass of Vigor: Without losses, a further victory is credited with the 3rd win.
Pass of Abundance: Grants more Trials Tokens after completed Trials matches and victories.
Pass of Wisdom: Grants bonus XP for Trials victories, based on the number of wins on the ticket.
Each of these passes is valid for one Trials run and tracks your victories and defeats in that run. Once you have 3 defeats on the pass, access to the Trials is denied. You then need to reset the pass or purchase a new one.
All about Trials Bounties: In addition to the passes, you can also buy 3 different types of Trials Bounties from Saint, which offer various rewards upon completion:
Daily Bounty: XP, 15 Valor rank points, and 2 Trials Tokens
Weekly Bounty: XP, Glimmer, 35 Valor rank points, and 5 Trials Tokens
Additional Bounties: XP and 2 Trials Tokens
The Trials Engram: The special tokens you earn from the Trials can be given to Saint-14 to level up your rank. Upon level-ups, a Trials Engram is awarded as a reward.
These engrams then contain a random Trials item that you have received at least once before.
Note: The tokens are only valid for the corresponding Trials weekend. All tokens that you do not spend will be removed with the Weekly Reset on Tuesday.
These are the rewards in the Trials: Players with 3, 5, or 7 victories on their Trials Pass receive a weekly reward that depends on the number of victories on the individual pass. Once you receive a third defeat, wins are no longer counted until you reset the pass or buy a new one.
The rewards are distributed as follows:
3 Wins: Powerful Gear (Tier 2)
5 Wins: Powerful Gear (Tier 3)
7 Wins: Top Gear
The top gear can only be obtained once a week per class.
If you achieve a flawless run (7 wins, no losses), you gain access to the Lighthouse – a kind of exclusive social space for the PvP elite who have achieved a flawless run. There, in the so-called Flawless Chest, top gear awaits you.
By the way: Once the chest has been opened and you left the Lighthouse, you will need to achieve a new flawless run to visit the Lighthouse again.
Special reward for flawless: A flawless run not only grants you access to the Lighthouse – everyone should also see that you were flawless in the Trials.
After a flawless Trials run, your Trials armor receives a special yellow glow effect. This will weaken over the course of a week. If you want to “refresh” the glow, you must go flawless again during the following Trials weekend.
As soon as you achieve a flawless run, you receive two emblems through which you can further adjust the color of the glow effect:
Light for the Lost: Glows white. Creators of Light carry this emblem when they help other players reach the Lighthouse.
Flawless Empyrean: Glows red. This emblem is carried by Lightbreakers when they try to prevent other players from reaching the Lighthouse.
Are you joining right at the start of the Trials? What do you think of their revised form so far?
Community Day with Abra canceled – When will the replacement be?
Is there already a rescheduled date? So far, the cancellation is indefinite. There is no new date yet because it is unclear how the coronavirus crisis will develop.
When could the Community Day take place? Currently, various federal states in Germany are canceling major events. Other countries worldwide are following suit. Most cancellations apply until mid or late April.
It’s quite possible that Niantic is taking a similar approach. The Community Day is unlikely to take place in March. We will have to wait and see if we will have two Community Days in a month instead.
How can you use the day on Sunday instead?
If you have already cleared your day for Sunday, you don’t have to go without Pokémon GO. There are plenty of alternatives you can do from home.
Otherwise, you can benefit from an hour of incense. You can purchase 30 incense in a box for one PokéCoin, which will last for an hour each.
Otherwise, use the time at home to sort your Pokémon and send away unused monsters. Alternatively, you can evolve them with a Lucky Egg and rack up some extra XP.
Those with a few spawn points outside will currently encounter many fighting Pokémon:
The Warzone of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare opened a few days ago and now the first meta tactics that can provide advantages in certain situations are beginning to emerge. At the start, you should probably grab a vehicle. Twitch streamer pokelawls shows how to start strong in a match.
What tactic gives advantages at the start? Jump out of the plane and glide into an area with many enemies. You can already see your desired weapon on the map, as it is a vehicle.
Look before you jump where a car is standing in this area and grab it right upon landing. Now drive around a bit and significantly thin out the horde of opponents who landed with you here.
The first minutes of a match in the battle royale “Warzone” of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare sometimes decide the course of the rest of the round. With a few kills at the start, you often go into the battle with a completely different mindset. This brings better chances of victory.
An SUV brings the perfect round start
What does such a round start look like? The Twitch streamer “pokelawls”, known for his laughter, shows in a clip how this can work. He jumps into the popular landing zone of “Atlas Superstores”, grabs a vehicle directly, and starts his match in the best way – with a lot of kills:

Throughout his journey, the streamer takes out 4 opponents and stocks up on a basic loadout of weapons and equipment in between. He is also very pleased with the good start and is able to enter the next match with strong conditions.
Why does it work so well? The landing zone was full of enemies, some of whom even jump right in front of his bumper. A vehicle can become a really strong choice at the beginning. Because the vehicle benefits from the following points:
Area with many jumpers
Surprise effect
Few go for rocket launchers at the start
The CoD battle royale brings high tempo and rewards an aggressive playstyle, especially at the start. More on this can be found in our tips for the Warzone.
In an area with many enemies, players often focus initially on finding a gun and securing the environment. A Scar or MP7 is more likely to be picked up here than a rocket launcher. This way, you are relatively safe in a vehicle. An enemy with an RPG is the biggest weakness of this technique, which can otherwise give you a good advantage at the start.
What tactics help further? The Warzone has only been open for a few days and the best strategies for the huge battle royale are still emerging. But slowly a few methods are establishing themselves and there are even tricks that are not so obvious:
What tactic do you follow after the match begins? Do you prefer to land further away from the hot spots or go right in? The Plunder mode also brings a lot of action:
Soon the PvP MMORPG Crowfall will enter beta. It could happen any day now. In the meantime, the developers are introducing a new class.
When does the beta of Crowfall start? The team at ArtCraft Entertainment explained that with the release of the War of the Gods update, the last major milestone before the launch of the MMORPG will be reached. Basically, this is the beta, even though Crowfall conducts a soft launch and generally avoids such terms.
J. Todd Coleman and Thomas Blair from ArtCraft Entertainment mentioned in a new video that it could happen every day now. The release of War of the Gods is imminent.

What still needs to be done? According to the developers, there is only a list of bugs to be addressed. Every day, J. Todd Coleman asks if it will be today. The team is indeed close to starting the beta.
How will the beta start? Once the bug list is addressed, the update will go live on the test server first. Shortly after, the team will deploy it to the live servers.
The beta should include almost everything that will also be available at the official launch, including the strategy parts and the building of a city.
The Frostweaver is a versatile class in the MMORPG Crowfall.
The Frostweaver – A versatile class
What else has the team announced? In addition to announcing that the beta is close to launch, the developers introduced a new class, the Frostweaver. The Frostweaver uses ice magic to deal frost damage and protect itself with ice shields.
You can develop your Frostweaver in certain directions through the so-called promotion classes. For example, it is possible to create a healer who uses his frost magic to heal companions, but it is also possible to push him more towards combat. Then he can even wear plate armor.
However, a Frostweaver is never able to use pets. More details about this class will follow.
So we are close to the beta of the MMORPG Crowfall – Are you looking forward to it?
In this tier list, we show you the best classes, builds, and equipment for Season 20 in Diablo 3. New sets from Barbarian, Wizard, and Witch Doctor from Patch 2.6.8 are included.
What is happening in Diablo 3? The start date of Season 20 is today, March 13, 2020. All participants of the season start again at “zero”. If you create a seasonal character, it starts at level 1 and has nothing at first. No Paragon points from previous adventures either.
Playing this season is worthwhile for you if you collect cosmetic items from past seasons and completely new companions and portrait frames.
What makes Season 20 different?The new season theme allows you to create completely new compositions in Kanai’s Cube. You no longer have to necessarily pair a weapon with an armor piece and a piece of jewelry, but you can also choose 3 weapon attributes that are active at the same time. Players want to keep the season theme from S20, but Blizzard says “no”.
Who created this tier list? The tier list shown here comes from Diablo expert Bluddshed. The community celebrates the YouTuber and Twitch streamer (YouTube channel, Twitch channel) for his analyses, expert knowledge, and his experiments with off-meta builds.
He regularly publishes tier lists for current patches in Diablo 3 and shows the strongest classes and builds in the current meta.
We present Bluddshed’s tier list for Season 20 of Diablo 3 here. Even with his tier list for Season 19, the expert was very accurate.
The builds highlighted in red are also playable in Hardcore – Source: Bluddshed (YouTube)
What do the tiers in the tier list mean? This tier list assigns builds from Season 20 to various potential tiers. Builds in the “S” category are considered the strongest of the season. Builds in the “C” category are weaker.
Despite these tiers, all builds are good. A build from the C tier can be played well and can also push Greater Nephalem Rifts. However, builds from the S tier have more potential to reach higher G-Rifts.
In general, this tier list should be seen as a rough guide and not as the absolute truth. The listing could still change during the season.
With all these builds, you can complete Greater Rifts level 70 without further problems. You need this milestone to unlock the ancient items. They are among the strongest items in Diablo 3.
You will learn here: On this and the next pages, we introduce you to the three potentially best builds for each class. By clicking on the name of the build, you will be redirected to corresponding websites that show you all items, skills, and gems that the respective build requires.
LoN and LoD are abbreviations for the legacy items.
With the Barbarian, you will find one of the strongest sets from Season 20. With WW-Rend, you will be well-served if you want to reach the top in the Greater Nephalem Rifts. But the new set also performs well and should be tried out.
S-Tier: WW-Rend (via Diablofans.com) – Many of you loved the Whirlwind Barbarian in Season 19. Even in Season 20, the Whirlwind is still at the forefront and will likely lead the rankings in solo pushing. – By the way, also super suitable for speed farming.
A-Tier: Frenzy (via Diablofans.com) – The new Barbarian set, Horde of the Ninety Savages, brings the Frenzy build back into the top lists of Diablo 3. Try this set with this build. Even if it is not the strongest, you will have a lot of fun with this build.
B-Tier: Seismic Barb (Seismic Slam) (via Diablofans.com) – A build that allows you to be mobile and not have to stand inside the mobs. In Season 19, the Seismic Barb was still in tier A, but now it has to make way for stronger builds.
On the next page, you will find the three best builds of the Demon Hunter in Season 20 of Diablo 3.

Niantic, the developer of Pokémon GO, is doing its part to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. There are various bonuses that encourage you not to leave the house.
Update March 14: There are now two more measures against the spread of the coronavirus. You can find them here.
What has changed? There are various bonuses that you can take advantage of from home. One should not have the temptation to go outside because of this event as a potentially infected person.
We give you an overview of what you can use from home now.
These measures are effective immediately
What Niantic is changing: To make it easier to play from home, Niantic has now implemented some changes. The following things are now available:
More Pokémon will spawn, so you don’t have to walk far for many catches
The item Incense is available in the shop for 30x for just one PokéCoin
Incense lasts for one hour worldwide
Gifts are now more frequent from PokéStops
The distance of eggs is halved
The biomes of Pokémon are relaxed, allowing for a greater variety of Pokémon
30 Incense now costs you one PokéCoin in the shop
Do these measures make a difference? Of course, it is now easier to play from home, as especially the Incense attracts Pokémon everywhere.
However, the many Incenses do not help if you do not have Poké Balls. You will need to go outside to collect Balls. The reduced egg distance is nice, but it cannot really be utilized from home. You need to go outside for that too.
Can you utilize more from home? A major factor is the new PvP League, which starts on March 13 at 10:00 PM. Here you can also compete against trainers from all over the world from home.
So bleibt Ihr bei Pokémon GO auf dem Laufenden: Alle News und Specials zu Pokémon GO findet ihr auch auf unserer PoGO-Seite auf Facebook. In unserer Facebook-Gruppe zu Pokémon GO könnt ihr euch mit vielen anderen Spielern über Events austauschen oder auch neue Freunde finden.
The battle event has started in Pokémon GO. Here is an overview:
Season 20 starts in Diablo 3 in just a few hours with patch 2.6.8. Everything about the launch, content, starter sets, and seasonal theme can be found here.
Update from March 13: We have updated the article with additional information, PTR impressions, and changes to sets.
When does Season 20 start? The new season begins today, March 13, 2020. As usual, the server gates will open at 5:00 PM, allowing you to create new seasonal characters and start your adventures from level 1 again. You can find out how to level up your character quickly in our Level Guide for Season 20 in Diablo 3.
This does not apply to console players. For Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch, Season 20 starts a bit later, on March 14, at 2:00 AM.
Today is also the day that the Path of Exile expansion “Delirium” is released. So Blizzard has some tough competition among ARPGs at the start of the season.
How long will Season 20 last? An exact end date is not yet known. Usually, a season in Diablo 3 lasts about three months. The date may be pushed a bit forward or backward.
What changes in Season 20?
For the upcoming Season 20, Blizzard has again a lot to offer in Diablo 3. Among other things:
an exciting seasonal theme
cosmetic rewards
Haedrig’s Gifts
fresh patch 2.6.8
The seasonal theme “The Forbidden Archives”
What is it? For several seasons now, Blizzard has been introducing special themes designed to make the chapters unique. In season 20, everything revolves around Kanai’s Cube. Because you have the opportunity to fill the cube slots however you like. Here’s how to unlock Kanai’s Cube in Diablo 3.
You are no longer forced to equip a ring, an armor piece, and a weapon there. No, you can also simply toss three weapons into the cube.
When does this come into play? Especially in group play, the new seasonal theme is popular. This was shown in tests on the PTR server. One class that benefits greatly from the season buff is the Necromancer.
Cosmetic Rewards
Old and New: In Season 17, Blizzard began distributing rewards that have been available in Diablo before. This was meant to help players who may have missed these cosmetics the first time.
Therefore, rewards from Season 8 are returning in Season 20.
But there won’t be only old rewards. Those who complete the entire season journey in Season 20 will receive the Bat Companion and a new portrait frame.
The new content looks like this:
Which Starter Sets does Haedrig give away?
What is it? For completing chapters 2, 3, and 4 of the season journey, you will receive Haedrig’s Gifts, which are equipped with set pieces. The sets distributed change with each season.
Here we show you the sets you will receive as gifts in S20 in Diablo 3.
Just before the start of Season 20, Blizzard adjusted the values of the sets again. They should now be more balanced.
Witch Doctor – Mundunugu’s Regalia:
Set bonus 2 pieces: The big bad Voodoo now follows you and lasts twice as long.
Set bonus 4 pieces: When you enter the Spirit Realm, your damage taken is reduced by 60% for 30 seconds.
Set bonus 6 pieces: Spirit Barrage deals 20,000% increased damage plus additional damage equal to five times your mana regeneration per second.
Wizard – The Typhon’s Veil:
Set bonus 2 pieces: Doubles the duration of Hydras and increases the number of heads of multi-headed Hydras by 2.
Set bonus 4 pieces: Damage taken is reduced by 8% for each living Hydra head as long as one is available. Each time you take damage, one Hydra head dies. Heads cannot die more than once every 2 seconds.
Set bonus 6 pieces: Hydras deal 1,300% increased damage for each living Hydra head.
Barbarian – Horde of the Ninety Savages:
Set bonus 2 pieces: Doubles the effectiveness of all shouts. Frightened, frozen, or stunned enemies take double damage.
Set bonus 4 pieces: Each stack of Fury reduces your damage taken by 6%. Fury lasts twice as long.
Set bonus 6 pieces: Fury deals 1,000% increased damage per stack.
You can find the complete patch notes for patch 2.6.8 here on diablo3.com.
Which classes will you play?
You have chosen: Before the start of S20, we asked you which classes you will play. It turned out that especially Barbarians, Witch Doctors, and Wizards are popular among you. The three classes lead the survey results.
This is probably also because they have become more interesting to you with their new sets and you want to try out the new playstyles.
Tier List – Which classes are strong? In our Tier list for Season 20 of Diablo 3, we show you which classes and builds have a lot of potential in the current patch and can make it to the top in the big Nephalem Rifts.
Difficult Start Time with Path of Exile?
This is what players say: In the Reddit post of the Diablo forum announcing Season 20, players complain about the start time. “You messed up because you’re launching at the same time as the new league in Path of Exile. You should have started a week earlier,” writes Reddit user Quzoide.
The post has many upvotes in the thread. Players explain that they would prefer to play Diablo 3 for a week before diving into Path of Exile. This way, they could arrange it so they don’t miss either content.
“This will be a ghost season, with the same start date as the PoE league. How crazy,” writes flessi00 on Reddit.
