Which race is active? The time trial “Fort Zancudo” at the military airport is active. You have a time limit of 1 minute and 44 seconds to win the 101,000 GTA Dollars.
The course of the track: After the start, you turn left, follow the road for a few kilometers until you eventually drive straight up the hill to the finish line.
This is how the ride goes: To start, drive over the bridge and turn left at the intersection. Then you’ll follow this road for a while. At this gas station, you shortcut right through the property and follow the road.
Now follow this road for a short time. On the minimap, you will see several roads and paths that turn right. Turn right at this point:
Now it’s off-road up the hill. Aim roughly for that small tunnel that you can see further up. Approach it, but brake before the entrance, so you don’t hit the ceiling.
After the tunnel, you go left out. Now follow the small path up the mountain until you reach the road. Crash through the wooden fence there or drive through the gap between the fence and the guardrail. Now just speed down the road to the finish.
Video guide: In this video by GTA Series, you can see how to master the track. As a reward, the player in the video only receives 51,000 GTA Dollars. That’s because the video is a bit older. Recently, Rockstar Games increased the payouts for these time trials, so now you receive 101,000 GTA Dollars.

Can you repeat the race? You can race as many times as you want. However, the 101,000 GTA Dollars can only be earned once per active time trial week.
Which vehicle should you use? Because of the off-road sections, motorcycles are the most recommended here. In our test, we used the “Tron-Bike” Shotaro.
In The Division 2, you can build your builds in three basic directions – damage, armor, skills. Here you will find a powerful damage build that provides a lot of bonus armor and uses its skills to become even stronger.
What kind of build is this? This equipment combination combines high damage with a lot of bonus armor, making every bullet sponge look foolish, no matter the difficulty level.
The Division YouTuber “Patrick Wolf”, who remained loyal to The Division 2 even during the long content drought before “Warlords of New York“, built this build and swears by its devastating effect – both for PvP and PvE content.
In his English video, he shows scenes right at the beginning where he makes short work of his defenseless opponents in PvP:

How is the build structured? Every good build in Division 2 should connect three elements:
Good damage
Survivability
Meaningful use of skills
“Patrick Wolf” manages to create a good balance between the three pillars, dealing incredibly high damage without neglecting his armor.
Where does the build get its damage? He relies on weapon and headshot damage and further buffs his values with talents. Additionally, he includes some “Critical Hit Chance” in the build, which he would swap out for headshot damage if his rolls allow it. This enhances his damage:
6x core attribute “Weapon Damage” on the armors
Exotic weapon Pestilence
Brand sets “Fenris” and “Petrov” for single weapon damage
3 pieces of the Striker set for +15% rate of fire
Focus on the attribute “Headshot Damage”
Also works with “Critical Hits”
3 talents working together
Assault Rifle: Close & Personal – Eliminating an enemy within 7 meters grants +30% weapon damage for 10 seconds
Vest: Intimidate – Bonus armor increases weapon damage taken from enemies within 10 meters by 35%
Backpack: Bloodsucker – Eliminating an enemy grants 10% bonus armor for 10 seconds, up to 10 stacks
He recommends upgrading the attribute “Headshot Damage” as you can get the biggest bonuses with the two weapon classes Assault Rifle and LMG. He also has quite a lot of “Weapon Handling” in the build to ensure he can reliably land his headshots.
The YouTuber shows a scene from the shooting range in his video and achieves a DPS (damage per second) value of over 30 million against elite enemies with headshots. A really strong value that makes the yellow bullet sponges suffer, and the build is not even fully completed yet.
How else can the build be constructed? If you find it too stressful to consistently land headshots, you can also work with critical hits. Swap your assault rifle for an SMG and take “Crit Chance” and “Crit Damage” instead of the handling and headshot values that “Patrick Wolf” uses.
For the SMG, you should have at least 20% critical hit chance and, with the rest of your gear, come to a total of 50 – 60%. 60% is the maximum you can achieve. Once you are above 50 – 55%, you can focus on “Crit Damage” with the rest of the damage attributes.
With this build and a load of headshots, you can achieve over 30 million DPS against elite enemies.
Focus on Damage – But Bonus Armor and Support Skills Help
How does the build help with survival? “Patrick Wolf” states that the enemies in Division 2 quickly wear down the agents’ armor, making high armor values not really worthwhile. There is hardly any difference whether you have 600,000 or a million – the enemies will take you down in no time.
This is why for this build, offense is the best defense. With the talent “Bloodsucker”, you build bonus armor on kills while also increasing your damage dealt. With the “Defender Drone”, you protect yourself from nearly a million damage.
In addition, he uses the specialization “Sniper”. The repair kits also grant bonus armor for 10 seconds and increase the damage taken from nearby enemies by 35% thanks to the talent “Intimidate”. Additionally, the sniper returns 5% armor for each defeated enemy.
He also mentioned that the build itself does so much damage that he could probably invest a bit more in armor. He already has damage protection on the gloves and could see himself investing even more in protection.
With the Defender Drone, you can distract damage in critical situations or when launching a frontal assault for a moment, allowing you to fire longer at the enemies. Once an enemy goes down, you receive bonus armor, significantly increasing your weapon damage against nearby enemies.
With the Shock Trap, you immobilize enemies, making them more vulnerable to your headshots. Hardly any enemy survives a longer burst to the head when you have the bonuses from the talents activated. Not even the most absorbent bullet sponge or stubborn Hunter can withstand that.
Build for PvE and PvP after the 2020 Expansion in Detail
This is the complete build:
Specialization: Sniper
Weapons
Assault Rifle with Close & Personal
Exotic Weapon Pestilence
Armor Talents
Vest: Intimidate
Backpack: Bloodsucker
Brands / Sets
3 pieces of Striker
1 piece of Petrov
1 piece of Fenris
Core Attribute: Weapon Damage
Attributes
Headshot Damage
Critical Hits
Weapon Handling
Skills
Drone: Defender
Trap: Shock Trap
How do you play the build? You are at the front line, fighting the enemies face to face. The build rewards aggressive play, as you need to be close to the enemies to trigger some talents.
Apply pressure and remember to activate your bonus armor repeatedly. If you have taken a lot of damage, use your repair kit and the 10 seconds of extra damage on nearby enemies to eliminate threats. If you play in a team, ask your comrades if they can use talents that also provide you with bonus armor from time to time.
Switch to the “Pestilence”, shoot a few bullets at nearby enemy groups, and switch back to the assault rifle. This way, you distribute the extra damage from the Pestilence talent across the entire group. If you don’t have the exotic, try an LMG with strong reload talents.
Pestilence deals damage to surrounding enemies.
How does the build advance me in PvP? Even here you quickly take down your opponents. Get close to the enemies, activate your drone, and land headshots wherever possible. Occasionally heal yourself with a repair kit and take down nearby players, thanks to the extra damage.
What special feature does the build have? The YouTuber takes a named weapon that you can specifically obtain for yourself – “Wild Glutton”. At level 4 of the field research for the “Firewall” specialization, you receive the blueprint for this powerful AR with the perfect version of “Close & Personal”.
To be able to land headshots accurately, “Patrick Wolf” focuses on weapon handling and uses the Striker set. Here, with 3 pieces, you not only get better handling but also a 15% increase in rate of fire, which significantly increases the damage.
The PvP league has officially started in Pokémon GO and brings a lot of rewards and tasks for you. In an interview, employees from Niantic revealed how the PvP feature is set to remain exciting in the future.
Who was interviewed? We from MeinMMO had the opportunity to speak with Matt Slemon. He is the Lead Product Manager at Niantic and had a lot to say about the new PvP league.
Particularly interesting is the future of the feature. He has already promised some things that are coming up or that Niantic is already working on.
PvP league will be kept exciting permanently
This is done through the ranking system: Slemon confirms that Niantic has realized that the ranking system in the test phase was not easy to understand. He explains this by stating that they have changed a lot behind the scenes and tried new things.
We found that players at level 20 or 30, for example, reached rank 7 but were far from rank 8, which was demotivating. (…) These players then faced hard level 40 grinders. (…) I think we now have a system that should solve both cases.
Matt Slemon
With the start of Season 1, several changes have been made to the ranking system, and unfair matches should now occur less frequently.
The ranking system in the PvP league was somewhat complicated
Changes to attacks should bring fresh wind: Slemon promises regular attack changes, so the meta in PvP does not always stay the same, but new Pokémon bring fresh wind. He says:
We are trying to move away from weakening the value [of Pokémon]. (…) What we will do, however, is to bring new attacks to Pokémon GO. We will also add existing attacks to Pokémon that they could not learn before. (…) I think this will happen relatively regularly. Every 1-2 months, approximately.
Matt Slemon
Slemon also says that we will soon notice a new attack change. This will not happen with the start of Season 1, but it is realistic that the attack change will come to Pokémon GO during the season.
Themed events should bring more variety: Another point that Slemon addresses is the introduction of theme cups. For special events, only Pokémon of specific types may be usable. This could force trainers to focus on these types.
However, Slemon dampens premature hopes. He says: “That could happen later in the game.” We will have to wait for this option a bit longer.
Niantic could orient itself a little towards the cups of TheSilphRoad. There, different types are highlighted each month. Trainers may only use monsters of these types.
Will there soon be official theme cups?
Another way to obtain rare Pokémon is the upcoming special research with Genesect:
I think there will be such events in the future! We will see more events in the future that also keep the PvP league in mind. It is not always the case that you can prepare trainers for the PvP league with it, because everything you do in the game prepares you for the PvP league. (…) I think players will see the upcoming events a bit differently when thinking about the PvP league.
Matt Slemon
Niantic thus indicates that they will also keep an eye on the PvP league in future events, but the focus will be solely on PvP. In the end, double candies or more Stardust also provide advantages for the league. Events will definitely happen in the future.
In the future, there could be more PvP tournaments
We do not want the PvP league to be a completely standalone system. We do not want someone to be able to play Pokémon GO just by using the PvP league. (…) However, we want the rewards to be balanced compared to other actions in the game. Legendaries are interesting (…) and it is planned that we will do something like that for events in the future.
Matt Slemon
There will not be permanent legendary Pokémon as rewards, but Niantic plans similar events in the future. Slemon believes that this has been well received by the trainers, and they will take this feedback into account.
Nevertheless, not everything can be obtained through the PvP league. Raids or field research will not be replaced by it in the future.
Another way to obtain rare Pokémon is the upcoming special research with Genesect:
In FIFA 20, the Icon Swaps 3 have just started. We will tell you which Icon cards you can earn this time.
What are Icon Swaps? In FUT 20, you can obtain the particularly strong Legend cards in two ways. Either you have incredible luck and pull one from a card pack or you use the Icon Swaps.
In this process, you earn Swap Tokens through tasks, which you can collect and exchange for various Icon cards.
How much time do you have? The Icon Swaps 3 started today, on March 13, and will run until the end of Season 5 (April 24). Keep in mind that this is the last Icon Swaps in FIFA 20.
All Cards of Icon Swaps 3
These cards can be earned: In the third round of Icon Swaps, there are really strong cards to get. The absolute highlight is likely the Baby Icon card of Zinedine Zidane (91). This will cost you the most Tokens.
Worthwhile and really strong are also the cards of Garrincha (94), Maradona (95), Kaka (91), Gullit (86), and Dalglish (90).
You need between 6 and 13 Tokens for:
Schmeichel (93) – 6 Tokens
Litmanen (91) – 6 Tokens
Trezeguet (92) – 7 Tokens
Gattuso (90) – 7 Tokens
Laudrup (92) – 9 Tokens
Puyol (94) – 9 Tokens
Overmars (92) – 10 Tokens
Gullit (86) – 10 Tokens
Lampard (92) – 10 Tokens
Maldini (92) – 13 Tokens
You need between 15 and 20 Tokens for:
Kaka (91) – 15 Tokens
Dalglish (90) – 16 Tokens
Rush (92) – 16 Tokens
Bergkamp (93) – 16 Tokens
Riquelme (92) – 18 Tokens
Maradona (95) – 19 Tokens
Petit (92) – 19 Tokens
Cannavaro (94) – 20 Tokens
For 21 or more Tokens, you get:
Carlos Alberto (94) – 21 Tokens
Garrincha (94) – 21 Tokens
Zidane (91) – 23 Tokens
You also have the chance to collect many Tokens and exchange them for several Icon cards.
How to Get the Icon Cards
What you need to do: To earn Tokens in FUT 20, you must complete various Icon exchange tasks. Among them are again the unpopular First Owner Tasks, for which you have to play with self-drawn cards.
In addition, there are some tasks where you need to win Weekend League matches. For many players, qualification alone is already a challenge.
MisBits has recently been released on Steam, and MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus has already played it. His assessment: It’s a lot of fun. However, it would be even better with a few more players.
What is MisBits? It is hard to describe what MisBits really is. Roughly, one could compare it to a collection of games or a fair, as it offers various ways to play.
MisBits doesn’t have one mode that is played repeatedly, but many modes that are all very different. It is not “a shooter” or “a racing game,” but offers a bit of everything. For example, there are
I have been able to play MisBits both at PAX East in Boston and at home. The game was released on March 5 for PC on Steam in Early Access. I found it very entertaining both times, but I would wish for a few more players.
Many features and something for everyone
What makes MisBits good? What surprised me most while playing is the variety of options that MisBits offers. No matter what I feel like, I will find something to pass the time in one of the modes.
Feeling like a hearty brawl? Jump into the deathmatch. A round of soccer with exploding chickens, witch doctors, and dinosaurs? Let’s go to Kick-Brawl. Or do I want to look at creative modes with custom rules from developers or other players? Then I will find it in the arcade.
At PAX, I played several rounds of deathmatch against other attendees. Competing with ten players in a small arena with different bodies (each with various abilities) and insane weapons like pickles, paintbrushes, and bullets for victory is a lot of fun.
However, I also checked out the other modes. Kick-Brawl follows the same principle as Rocket League, but here as well different bodies await me – partly “super” toys like a T-Rex that are particularly powerful. Personally, I didn’t like this mode that much.
Lots of choices in modes – The arcade features user-created game modes.
At home, I looked at the various arcade modes that the developers have already implemented. There are some tricky jumping puzzles and obstacle courses that are enjoyable even alone, but there are also interesting duel possibilities with specific rules (such as only certain abilities). Mazes and snowball fights are also included, but I haven’t had the time to check out all the modes yet.
How does it play? With the wide range of different variants, I always find something I enjoy. For me, MisBits is currently the epitome of casual gaming, in a positive sense.
A round lasts about ten minutes. This way, I can also squeeze in a few games in the evening before I have to cook or when I’m waiting again for players for the new Battle Royale from CoD.
The access is always easy. The rules are never complicated, and it usually explains itself what to do – especially in deathmatch and kick-brawl that is clear. MisBits provides a really pleasant “hop on, hop off” feeling.
Need more to do? There are also challenges and achievements!
Anyone who generally has little time but loves gaming should definitely give MisBits a chance. There’s a lot of variety bundled in one place, and even with limited time, one can quickly get started.
The best mode: The Playhouse
What is the Playhouse? However, I find the absolutely best mode so far is the Playhouse. It’s a kind of giant playroom where the toys (us) can move through a toy landscape just like in Toy Story.
One of the rooms from above.
The Playhouse offers several rooms that seem gigantic because we are so small. Everyday items like building blocks, rulers, or crayons lie around, which are set up as various obstacles or constructs.
Often behind these constructs hides a part of a minigame. Scattered throughout the toy box, I discover mini-games – here’s a time trial race, there a target shooting, elsewhere a chicken challenge.
For each mini-game, there is also a leaderboard for the current session. I can particularly imagine that a lot of fun comes from this when playing with friends, as multiple people try to outdo each other in every game.
Want some Tower Defense? It’s in there too!
What is particularly fun: However, the mini-games themselves are not the highlight for me personally. There is just an incredible amount to discover in the Playhouse. It’s a huge playroom – and of course, messy. This greatly appeals to my exploratory instinct.
And indeed, there are many hidden secrets to find. I discovered this when I decided to check under the bed out of curiosity. Surely, no one would hide anything there… or would they?
Turns out there is a golden altar in there, before which a bunch of frogs kneel and worship a golden chicken. A little gimmick that made me chuckle.
Motivated by this, I continued exploring and during my half-hour session in the Playhouse, I discovered an extremely detailed sports shoe, several interesting books, and a volcano that catapults me around the area. Quite entertaining!
More to come!
The modes that are currently in the game are not final. More game modes will come, including a creative mode where players can create their own games and rules.
Players will then have almost all developer tools available to unleash their creativity. I am already looking forward to seeing the first players create their own puzzle maps or huge houses for me to explore.
There are already games in the Steam Workshop, though these are from the developers themselves. Since Early Access, new arcade games have been steadily added, and more will come in the future.
The workshop is still quite empty – but that will fill up soon.
MisBits is great, but too empty
How is MisBits received? I personally find the game great, especially for the reasons mentioned above. Other players see it similarly. The reviews of MisBits on Steam are “Positive” with 87%.
2rad4rio says: “MisBits is a third-person… uh… game where you do things. It’s hard to give it a genre because it’s quite original.”
Sandlerkoenig Eberhard says: “Fast, humorous, and full of action. If you enjoy throwing bombs, swinging giant pickles, or eating your friends with a T-Rex while everything feels fair, I can only recommend choosing this game!”
Some players also indicate that it’s more fun with friends. However, the developers are continuously working on new content, which is very well received.
What is still missing from the game? However, there is also some criticism. The biggest problem at the moment is that the players are lacking. The rounds are really fun, but finding a game for specific modes (especially deathmatch) can sometimes be tough.
The more people would check out MisBits, the more fun they would have, as it does thrive on multiplayer matches. While individual modes can be fun alone, it’s definitely better with others. Once more people start playing MisBits, it will be a real hit!

The Blizzard Agent is inactive and causing issues in Battle.Net. Players are now fearing that they will miss the start of Season 20 in Diablo 3 if there are errors and disconnections. What does Blizzard say?
Update – 21:30: At 20:45, Blizzard announced via Twitter that they have resolved the issue. You should now have no problems logging into BattleNet.
What is the problem? Some players are reporting that they have issues in Battle Net. Some cannot log into games like WoW or Call of Duty. Warzone at all. The error message “Blizzard Agent inactive” greets them in the software (Blizzard agent went to sleep).
On Twitter, @blizzardcseu_de, the German customer support for the software users, reports that they are aware of the issues.
What does Blizzard say? They first wrote at 13:32 on March 13th, that they are investigating a problem with the authentication servers. This could lead to slow or failed login attempts.
However, a solution has not yet been found. Even at 16:10, the issues persist. Blizzard states that they are working hard on a solution.
They also apologize for the disruptions caused.

For Diablo fans, this is particularly bitter, as the season is set to kick off at 17:00. Many players plan nothing else but to be among the first to level up to 70 in the race.
In Italy, networks are groaning under the gaming rush. With schools closed and Italians in home quarantine, internet usage has surged by 70%. The culprits are suspected to be the battle royale games Fortnite and CoD: Warzone.
This is the situation: Italy is in lockdown due to the coronavirus. Schools and many shops are closed. Italians are urged to stay at home, under a home quarantine. This is putting a strain on the networks, as is now becoming known.
According to a report by Bloomberg, it is not working from home that is consuming so much bandwidth, but the extra hours in online games like Fortnite and Call of Duty.
Multiplayer games like Warzone are putting pressure on the networks in Italy.
70% more load – network holds
This is what Telecom says: The head of the Italian Telecom, Luigi Gubitosi, said on Wednesday in a conversation with analysts:
We are noticing a 70% increase in internet traffic across our line network, with significant contributions from online games like Fortnite.
The head of the Italian Telecom
Can the network handle it? On Wednesday, there were reports in Italy that users of Telecom Italia had lost their connections, but that has subsided.
The company states that Telecom Italia’s network is running “perfectly” and is also coping with the increased volumes.
In China, player numbers doubled
Are there other examples of such a phenomenon? In the USA, there are apparently no signs that the coronavirus is affecting gaming behavior. It is reported that Verizon and AT&T have not noticed an increase.
The 10 most popular games during the holidays in China on the streaming platform Douyu. Source: Nikkopartners
Viewer numbers for LoL, PUBG, and the mobile variants of the games practically doubled during this time compared to the previous year at the local Twitch-equivalent Douyu. The games themselves reached all-time record numbers of players.
The Chinese said at that time that they used games to
pass the time while in quarantine
take their minds off things
not to be constantly confronted with the coronavirus and related news
In doing so, the Chinese preferred “light entertainment games”; battle royale games apparently seem to be popular worldwide to provide this distraction.
It currently seems that the coronavirus will accompany us for quite some time and will impact our daily lives. No matter how anxious or confident we felt about the virus a few days ago, it seems clear that each of us must deal with it.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale the Deadpool challenges for week 4 are here. This week you need to find Deadpool’s katanas to unlock them as a back accessory. We will show you where to find them.
What is this challenge? In week 4 of the Deadpool challenges you need to find his katanas and deal damage to buildings.
By completing these tasks, you can unlock the Deadpool skin, which is the secret skin of this season. This week there is a special reward on top.
Deadpool’s Katanas – Locations
For the first part of the task, you need to find both Deadpool katanas in the agent’s headquarters.
You will find the first katana in the hidden room where Deadpool is located.
You will find the second katana in the upgrade vault where you can customize your Maya.
Deal damage to enemy buildings
For the second task, you need to deal 10,000 damage to enemy buildings. These buildings are all structures built by opponents.
There are various ways to achieve this. However, since you need to deal a lot of damage, it might take a while.
Here are some ways to cause damage:
Shoot with assault rifles, snipers, rocket launchers, or submachine guns at your opponents’ walls
Place mines or C4 to blow them up
Break through the walls with your pickaxe
This works best in a squads match because you can respawn there and encounter many enemies who build a lot.
What reward do you get for the Deadpool challenge?
In week 4 there is a special reward for completing these two tasks. You unlock Deadpool’s katanas as a back accessory.

What are the Trials exactly? The Trials of Osiris represent for many Guardians the most popular Crucible format of the franchise. They were the highlight for the PvP elite in Destiny.
Week after week, players came together and did everything they could to reach the Lighthouse – preferably without losses, so flawless. For this, they were rewarded with coveted Trials loot that couldn’t be found in other sources.
In Destiny 2, the Trials of the Nine were supposed to relaunch the Trials, but they flopped completely and were removed from the game in August 2018. Now, with the Trials of Osiris, this PvP top activity is finally returning.
Are you participating today or can’t you play and are watching the stream instead? Are you excited about the Trials? Find out here with us whether the return is successful.
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.
