One of the new mission challenges in Season 10 of Fortnite themed “Spray and Pray” requires you to spray various gas stations in Fortnite. Where to find each gas station is explained here.
This is the challenge: The missions of Week 2 of Season 10 are themed “Spray and Pray”. You need to spray things with paint, including three gas stations. And they must be three different ones. However, you do not have to decorate all the gas stations in the same match; you can save the task as you wish.
Locations of all gas stations in Fortnite in Season 10
Where are the gas stations? You can see where to find gas stations here on the map.
Detailed descriptions of the locations can be found here:
At C3 near Pleasant Park is a gas station
At C4 south of Pleasant Park and west of Loot Lake is a gas station
At C5, between Snobby Shores and Tilted Town is a gas station
At F7 near Salty Springs is a gas station
At F9, north of Lucky Landing is a gas station
At G9, at the entrance to the desert biome is a gas station
At I8, in Paradise Palms is a gas station
There was also a gas station in Neo Tilted, but since a Western town was established here, the gas station is gone.
What do I do at a gas station? Simply go to the gas stations and spray any spray logo on the wall. Do this at three different gas stations and you have completed the task.
Is there also a video? We have embedded a video here. In it, you can see in detail how to find the gas stations. Have fun!

You should pay attention to this: Each gas station can be a death trap. Because evil players often lie in wait for you there and kill you while you want to spray. So be careful and look for the gas stations later in the match.
What are the other challenges? These tasks also await you with Spray and Pray:
In Pokémon GO there will be a new Safari Zone soon. It will take place in Montreal, Canada, but players worldwide will also benefit from it.
What kind of event is this? The Safari Zone is an event similar to the GO Fest. In a specific city, special Pokémon appear, and the highlight is always a regional Pokémon that can be caught there.
In September, such an event will come to the Canadian city of Montreal. There, Tropius and many other Pokémon will be available. For players worldwide, a new Shiny is likely.
This image announces the Safari Zone
That’s why the Safari Zone is worth it for German players
When does the event take place? The Safari Zone runs from September 20 to September 22. So it takes place over an entire weekend.
What do global players gain from it? From the past, we know that Niantic usually introduces a new Shiny globally on these weekends. This was recently the case with Pottrott or Enton.
If you look at the image for the Safari Zone in Montreal, it is likely that Shiny Yanma will be available there. After all, it is the Pokémon in the image that makes the most sense.
This is what Shiny Yanma looks like
When could the Shiny be released worldwide? So far, Shinys have always spawned throughout the entire weekend. It is likely that this will also be the case for Yanma.
What does the Safari Zone offer? Those who want to travel to Canada will be rewarded with special spawns. In the image, you can see the following Pokémon:
Yanma
Ponyta
Ninjask
Tropius
Unown (likely the letters QUEBEC)
Dragonfly
Additionally, more Pokémon that can evolve into speedy monsters are expected to appear. Some Pokémon in the image fit that description.
The Community Day in Pokémon GO has been announced. This time it focuses on Chelast:
Currently, many Guardians in Destiny 2 want to uncover a new secret about a cat statue. What is it all about?
Where is this cat statue: In the European Airzone, the new activity of the summer event, there is a hidden room where a cat statue was found. You can reach it by jumping left from the spawn point onto a rocky ledge that is located at the bottom of the wall. From there, you enter a cave – until a grate blocks your way.
This video shows you the exact way there:

Some Guardians have already managed to glitch behind the grate with a Sparrow. And there stands a strange cat statue:
What is the cat statue doing here?
What purpose does this cat statue serve? Guardians have already tried many things with the cat, but have not found a way to interact with it. It cannot be moved nor can you offer it a gift.
In other words: No one knows what this cat statue is doing in the European Airzone. Also, there is nothing else in the secret room to interact with.
Cat is a hot topic at raidsecrets
This is driving Guardians crazy: For days, there has been discussion in the raidsecrets subreddit about this statue. It is one of the top topics that thousands of Guardians are passionately debating.
The raidsecrets is a section in the reddit forum where players chase all kinds of secrets and puzzles. Guardians also team up here when searching for hidden things in new areas.
But even this theory has fizzled out. In the last 2 days, various attempts were made again, but nothing has changed about the cat statue.
Opinions are clearly divided on what the cat could mean. Some are increasingly sure that Bungie is just having fun and is now enjoying watching Guardians fervently search for a meaning.
Others continue to explore the secret room. One user noticed that the wall behind the cat is strangely designed. It looks like there are two rows of bricks:
The front wall is destroyed, only a few bricks are left stacked.
The back wall is still intact and has a different color and design than the front, destroyed wall. And this wall design has been used before to separate areas that should be accessed later, like the area in the Tower where Ada from the Black Armory is now standing.
It is suspected that Bungie will remove this back wall at a later date – possibly as part of an Exotic Quest – and then the front wall will give the impression that a wall has been broken through.
Additionally, an unnamed key has been found in the databases that is associated with the Solstice of Heroes:
Perhaps there is a chest behind the destroyed wall that can be opened with the key and has tasty loot for the Guardians?
By August 27, we should know. Because then the “Solstice of Heroes” event ends and so does the European Airzone activity. And who knows, maybe something will happen with the statue in Curse Week 1?
The hope for a new Exotic is not the only thing driving Guardians to feverishly solve this statue mystery. After all, a new Destiny 2 expansion, Shadowkeep, is on the horizon. Maybe the secret room also holds hints that reveal something about the expansion. After all, the European Airzone is the last big event before Shadowkeep. If Bungie has hidden any hints in the game, it will be in the European Airzone.
What do you think, what is the meaning of the cat statue and the secret room?

A story campaign that takes you through many cool missions and offers many hours of content
After the story, there is extensive endgame content with world rankings, checkpoints, strongholds, bounties, and other activities
There are 2 PvP modes where 4 vs 4 can either compete against each other in deathmatch or capture checkpoints in the Dominion mode.
The Dark Zone offers a mix of PvEvP. There are human enemies but also hostile NPCs. Other players can contest your loot. Or you may go rogue and become a danger to other players’ loot.
Ideal for: Anyone who is a fan of good loot shooters with complex build systems and enjoys exploring large game worlds with attention to detail should definitely check out The Division 2. The post-apocalyptic setting and dense atmosphere are also recommended.
Is there a catch? Anyone hoping for a gripping story may be disappointed. The good stories in The Division 2 are told through the game world, not through cutscenes or characters.
What is Destiny 2? In the successor to the sci-fi shooter Destiny, the story takes center stage, told in an action-packed and cinematic way. You shoot your way through missions and hordes of aliens in Destiny 2 either solo or with a fireteam.
In doing so, you are always on the hunt for the best loot to improve your character! If you prefer to take out other players, you can let loose in PvP.

Plenty of content that can be played solo, but also many group activities such as raids (for up to 6 players)

Players can form clans
The base game of Destiny 2 along with numerous Year 1 contents will be available as free-to-play with the release of the upcoming Autumn expansion Shadowkeep – in the form of Destiny 2: New Light
Ideal for: Destiny 2 remains one of the games with the best gunplay. Nowhere is shooting as much fun as in Bungie’s sci-fi shooter. Additionally, there’s a fun, interesting science fiction scenario and the hunt for ever better items for even more shooting fun!
Is there a catch? Destiny 2 has faced issues with content supply in the eyes of many players, but this is gradually being managed better. However, this comes with additional costs. Because to fully enjoy Destiny 2, you need the Forsaken expansion as well as the Annual Pass, which regularly freshens up the game with new content.
What is World of Warcraft? The fantasy MMORPG classic World of Warcraft remains stylish and attractive even today thanks to many updates and expansions. Whether you’re an Orc, Human, or Night Elf, there is plenty of high-quality content to experience, and Blizzard regularly releases new content and expansions. In addition to regular updates, there’s also a huge community and frequent holidays.

Massive quests and instances for groups and content for solo players
Huge raids with intricate boss mechanics in the endgame
A continuous hunt for better items with varying rarity levels
A large world with different thematically distinct zones
Many events and holidays throughout the year
An ongoing story that is constantly expanded
Ideal for: WoW is ideal for players looking for an easily accessible fantasy MMORPG in Western comic graphics. World of Warcraft makes it easy to get started and offers plenty of content for every taste: PvP, PvE, hardcore raiding, crafting, achievements, toys, events – WoW has it all. Additionally, there are regular large expansions that always bring new features to the game. So, if you want the “MMORPG complete package,” WoW is the right choice.
Is there a catch? In World of Warcraft, there is hardly anything to complain about. The game is mainstream at a high level and offers something for everyone. However, there will always be games that excel in individual areas – including story, graphics, combat system, or PvP – that are better. If you place a high value on these individual aspects, you might be happier elsewhere.

In Season X of Fortnite, the map is supposed to change continuously. YouTubers believe that Salty Springs could be next. Their theory is quite plausible.
What is this theory? It refers to the trailer for Season X, as you can already see the new Salty Springs there. It is not a leak, but a theory that could indeed make sense.
However, one must also be somewhat skeptical, as nothing has been found in the game yet, and the developers have not said anything about it either.
This theory has YouTubers at Salty Springs
This was discovered: The theory refers to a very short clip in the trailer for Season 10. A mech lands on the map, and you can see part of the map around it.
If you overlay this clip onto the map of Season 10, it fits perfectly between Tilted Town and Salty Springs. The only problem is that Salty Springs is no longer recognizable. You only see a body of water there:
Here the trailer is overlaid on the map. Where Salty Springs should be, you see a body of water. Source: HeyStani
What is suspected? The YouTubers now believe that this is a hidden hint at the change at Salty Springs. Epic is already showing the new Salty Springs.
YouTuber “StanPlay” presents his theory in this video:

Could the theory be true? There are definitely many indications suggesting that Salty Springs could be affected:
Salty Springs can be translated as “Salty Spring.” It would thus fit a region with waters.
Season X is currently all about time travel. The new Salty Springs could therefore be a place from the past where there actually was a salty spring.
Epic promised in the trailer that the map could change regularly.
Salty Springs has been there since the start of the game and could finally get a long-desired overhaul.
In the trailer, Epic already showed clips from Tilted Town before it was in the game. The same could have happened here with Salty Springs.
Nevertheless, one must also temper the arguments a bit. Dataminers have not found anything on this yet. So, nothing may happen, or Salty Springs may not change for a few weeks.
Tilted Town was only recently added to the game.
In addition, there was a major map change with Tilted Town just recently. It remains to be seen if Epic will actually change the next location soon.
What do you think about the theory? Could Salty Springs actually change soon?
In Apex Legends there are various landing zones, but not all are equally popular with all player types. One player took the effort and analyzed thousands of rounds with a tracker. The result was the most popular landing zones in Apex Legends.
What are the most popular landing zones in Apex Legends? By analyzing tracker data from over 100,000 matches, a Reddit user named ZYy9oQ has now provided a clear overview of the most popular landing spots in Apex Legends.
Therefore, he can make informed statements about the most popular landing spots, separated by rank. The following maps show where which players land the most.
Here is where the action happens: According to the collected data, especially Skulltown and Market are universally popular. Wetlands and Containment compete for 3rd place. The popularity of Skulltown among beginners in ranked and pros in the last division is particularly interesting.
The place always offers good loot and is not too far from the center of the map. The same goes for Market, which is even a bit closer to the center. So if you land there, you will surely find many opponents and should brace yourself for tough battles.
At these landing spots, you have your peace
Here, hardly anyone lands: The data from ZYy9oQ also shows where players land the least. The eastern part of the map is rather poorly attended. Particularly sparse are the locations Swamp and Relay.
Only in the two top-ranked divisions Diamond and Apex Predator does Swamps suddenly become very popular. But in the other fringe divisions, you are likely to find very little competition there. The reason is probably the great distance to the center and the rather unimpressive loot there.
Nevertheless, it might be more sensible to land exactly there and equip yourself with average loot in peace than to fight with dozens of other players in Skulltown for the top loot.
Tracker provides data for landing zone map
How were the data actually gathered? ZYy9oQ used a tracker program for his analysis and created a kind of heat map showing where the hottest drop zones are. Over 120,000 games of Apex Legends were analyzed for this.
On the night, patch 9.15b appeared in Teamfight Tactics. It brought minor balance changes, mainly affecting the items.
What is the biggest change? The item Runaan’s Hurricane received a significant buff. A champion with this item attacks a second target automatically with each attack.
The damage to the second target was previously only 25% of the actual attack. This value has now been tripled to 75%.
There is a special interaction with multiple versions of Runaan’s Hurricane. The second item also copies the attack of the first. Thus, with two items, you directly attack four targets, and with three items, even eight.
Guardian Angel gets the desired nerf
What items have been strengthened? In addition to Runaan’s Hurricane, there are also other items that received a buff:
Guinsoo’s Rageblade – The attack speed per stack has been increased from 4% to 5%.
Phantom Dancer – The holder can now dodge critical ability hits. This change particularly affects the champion Akali, who landed critical hits with her ability.
Sword of the Divine – The activation chance has been increased from 5% to 7%.
What items have been weakened? In the current meta, particularly the Guardian Angel and Morellonomicon are very popular. Both received a small nerf with this patch:
Guardian Angel – The life after resurrection has been reduced from 1,000 to 800.
Morellonomicon – The burn damage has been reduced from 25% to 20%.
The end of assassins?
Which champions have been buffed by the patch? Spellcasters are already very popular in their current form. Nevertheless, Veigar can still look forward to a buff:
Elise – Her attack damage has been increased from 40 to 45. The attack damage of the spiders has also been increased from 40 to 50.
Veigar – The ability damage has been increased from 300/500/700 to 300/550/800.
Changes to Twisted Fate? The official patch notes mention changes to Twisted Fate, but these are not yet in the game. They have accidentally slipped into the list, as Game Designer Mortdog mentioned on Twitter.
We have to wait another week for the release of patch 9.16. This is expected to bring four new champions:
Many players enjoy having a single game that they can play for years, one that evolves and allows them to dive deeper into it. MeinMMO presents five titles into which you can sink a lot of time if you want.
What kind of games are these? The games we present here come from different genres. However, they all share two things in common:
They are games where you can play together with many players.
They all offer the opportunity to invest a lot of time and continuously improve.
How was the selection made? Our five selected games are an unordered list, chosen based on the size of the player base, search interest, and personal assessments based on observations on MeinMMO. You will find some alternatives under each game.

The long-term motivation of WoW: World of Warcraft offers many activities that can keep players engaged even after reaching the maximum level.
Raids as a king’s discipline in PvE offer tough challenges that players can spend weeks trying to overcome. PvP arenas provide the opportunity to compete with others and climb rankings.
If you prefer a quieter experience, you can spend time with pet battles, chase achievements by farming reputation, or explore every corner of the world or engage in hours of role-playing with other players. Additionally, up to 50 character slots are available to try out and level new classes or characters.
WoW continuously supplies players with new content. Recently, Patch 8.2 brought a new area and a new raid.
WoW is worth it for you if…
you are looking for an MMORPG that tells a story you can immerse yourself in.
you are into fantasy.
you prefer a tab-targeting system over action combat.
you want to play a game with millions of other players.
With this chest map, you will find all hidden chests in the ELZ of Destiny 2.
What do I need the map for? The ELZ is a new activity introduced with the Summer Event in Destiny 2. In it, you get to defeat mini-bosses, then take down a boss and look for chests with rewards.
However, these chests are quite well hidden in the ELZ, which is why many guardians run around aimlessly during the chest phase, hoping to stumble upon a chest.
This is the chest map: The locations of the chests have now been compiled and clearly displayed on a map on reddit. We embed the map here:
No more wandering around
Here’s how to read the map: At the bottom center is the spawn area from where you enter the ELZ. Use this as a reference point. Chests are marked on the map with red symbols:
The diamond symbol means that the chest is on the ground
The triangle symbol means that the chest is not on the ground but located somewhere higher, such as on a roof or in a higher floor.
What’s the deal with the chests? Depending on how many mini-bosses you defeat in an ELZ match, a certain number of chests will spawn after the boss phase. The locations are only shown for a short period. You need to remember in which directions you can run for the chests and then search in those areas.
With the map above, searching for you should be significantly easier now. The reddit post has already received around 4,000 upvotes. People are thankful for the work put into this map and are glad they don’t have to wander around anymore.
What’s inside the chests? When you open the chests, you will receive Solstice packages and key fragments that you can use to open the packages. These mainly contain materials and blue items. However, you can find out why you should hoard the Solstice packages for now here:
In FIFA 20, there are the first reactions to the career mode changes. Many fans are satisfied, while others express criticism. One change is especially well received.
This is what it’s about: Yesterday, on August 7th, EA Sports unveiled the most important innovations in the career mode of FIFA 20. These include a
For many players, the career mode represents the most important mode in FIFA, which is why they were eagerly awaiting the new information about the FIFA 20 career. These should decisively influence their purchasing decisions. And after the career information took a long time to arrive, with expectations rising in the meantime, many fans reacted with: “What, is that all?”
“So much money for a new UI color”
This is what is criticized about the career changes: On reddit and in the comment sections on social media, thousands of players have already expressed their first opinions. The biggest criticism is that fans expected more. The scope of the innovations seems rather limited so far.
“To be honest, the career mode needs a complete overhaul. Hundreds of changes are necessary. I think it could be something fantastic, but…”, writes one user, referring to the fact that EA Sports has invested almost all resources into FUT for years while the career mode has been neglected.
On reddit, one user criticizes that EA Sports demands full price for a game that has only repainted the user interface color in career mode. He points to this image that EA Sports showed:
Other users agree: “Yes, the innovations are so disappointing” or “These features are unnecessary.”
Many fans also list innovations they would have preferred, such as an online career mode or finally realistic work with sponsors. We have summarized many career wishes here.
Some comments criticizing the new manager customization for allowing the selection of a woman for the first time were quite ugly. Corey Andress, the Community Global Franchise Lead, commented on Twitter about this. Some comments are “quite disgusting,” he writes, adding that these will be immediately blocked.
In FIFA 20, you can be a female manager
And one user jibes that he can hardly wait to play with Piemonte Calcio in career mode. This is a reference to the fact that Konami secured exclusive rights to Juventus Turin, forcing EA Sports to rename the club to FIFA 20 in Piemonte Calcio.
In the comments under our article about the career changes, there are also critical remarks:
Koro. writes that unfortunately, nothing groundbreaking is included again and that they didn’t listen to the community.
Vorstopper also writes that there is so much more possible.
And Chiefryddmz jokes: “I’m slowly realizing why they held these innovations back for so long.”
However, alongside this criticism, there is also a lot of praise. On reddit, the top comments are even mostly positive. Especially one change is well received.
“The dynamic potential will make the career unique”
This change is celebrated: The dynamic potential is particularly well received. It means: The better a talent plays on the pitch, the higher its potential can grow. However, if the talent plays poorly or does not get match practice, the potential decreases. This way, you can achieve a higher potential and therefore a higher overall rating for your talents through good performances.
Fans are excited that this innovation can make the career unique. Because now, you don’t have to choose the usual talents with the highest potential that everyone else takes, but you can develop your own star players.
Some users write that this is the only interesting innovation. The manager customization might be interesting for 10 minutes, and the new press conferences will likely become rather boring and repetitive over time, they speculate.
In contrast, with the dynamic potential, you have a feature with which you can consistently bring new talents into the limelight, which is definitely a good innovation.
It’s not that bad – is it?
Additionally, some players emphasize that EA Sports has definitely listened to the community with these features. Manager customizations and a comprehensive morale system were high on many wish lists. And just because many wishes did not come true, one should not belittle these innovations.
Finally, some joke that one must be satisfied that there are at least notable innovations in the career mode. This was not a given in the last few FIFA years.
In the MeinMMO comments, there are also positive voices:
Psycheater writes: “Yes, cool, it sounds really good with the improvements.”

PS4 players of Borderlands 3 are facing a small dilemma. Do they want fancy graphics or a high frame rate?
There are only a few weeks left until the fans of the planet Pandora can finally dive into the new Borderlands 3. In the lead-up, more and more details about the game are being released, including some graphics settings and adjustments that players can make. This mainly concerns players on the PlayStation 4 Pro, as they have to make a difficult choice.
This selection will be available: In a conversation with the PlayStation Blog, Gearbox explained that there is a choice for players on the more powerful PS4 Pro, namely the choice between two different graphics settings:
Best possible resolution (Favor Resolution)
Best possible performance (Favor Performance)
This changes the representation of Borderlands 3 on the PS4 Pro drastically.
This is what “Favor Resolution” does: In this mode, Borderlands always tries to achieve the best possible resolution at the expense of performance. Positively, this means that the resolution can go up to 4K, allowing for sharp images. Negatively, it means that the frame rate is limited to a maximum of 30 frames per second.
Lilith, playable class in Borderlands 1
This is what “Favor Performance” does: Those who opt for the best possible performance will experience a frame rate of up to 60 frames per second, resulting in a much smoother gameplay experience. However, this comes at the expense of resolution, which is then somewhat reduced. Graphical effects may not be as impressively sharp, but the chance of stuttering is low, even when a lot of action is on the screen.
Such graphics settings are rather unusual on consoles – normally, they are only found on PCs.
Whether such settings will also be available for the Xbox One X is not yet known, but it seems possible.
Do you think it’s good that developers offer such settings and options? Or is this kind of “nonsense” that one does not want to deal with exactly the reason why one buys a console at all?
In September, the Community Day of Pokémon GO revolves around Chelast. We will tell you everything about the Shinies, bonuses, and start times.
In September, we can expect the first Pokémon from the 4th generation at a Community Day. The plant starter Chelast will be coming.
Additionally, there will again be bonuses to round out the Community Day. Here, we provide you with an overview.
Community Day in September – Bonuses and Date
When is the Community Event? For this Community Day, we will have to be patient. Only on September 15th, a Sunday, it will take place.
Niantic is returning to the old times and will run the event from 11 AM to 2 PM. The Community Day will no longer extend into the evening hours.
These bonuses will be available at the Community Day
What bonuses are available? Many players will be pleased, as this time there will be more Stardust again, after there was surprisingly a different bonus in August. You can find all the bonuses here:
Triple Stardust when catching Pokémon
Lure modules last for 3 hours
More Chelast will appear in the wild
An exclusive move (presumably for Chelterrar) will be announced later
Will there be a Shiny Chelast? As on every Community Day, there will also be the shiny form of the event Pokémon here. Chelast is turquoise instead of green. You can easily recognize it.
This is what the shiny family looks like
What are the chances of getting a Shiny? This chance is significantly increased. So during the event it will be about 1 in 25. In comparison, the normal shiny chance for Pokémon in the wild is 1 in 450.
Many fans currently wish for a Pokémon Center. Do you as well?
The best ARAM Champions in S9 in League of Legends can be found here. Good ARAM Champs and the best were officially shared by Riot Games.
What is ARAM? ARAM is the name of a game mode in League of Legends. All Random, All Mid. In this mode, there are 2 bases and 4 towers on each side, and each team has one inhibitor and one nexus. The two teams meet on only one lane, with champions selected randomly.
What are good ARAM Champs? The developers at Riot Games have now announced which champions have the highest win rate in the Howling Abyss in Patch 9.15. These are the champions that win the most games in ARAM.
Where do the data come from? RiotMort is the Principal Game Designer at Riot Games. He shared the collected data on Twitter.

The best ARAM Champs in 2019 – Patch 9.15 Tier List
Top 3: The 3 best champions in Patch 9.15 are ARAM Swain, Maokai, and Janna.
What makes the champions so good in this game mode?
Swain has a win rate of 59.6% and fits very well into the game mode with his ability kit. He has options to poke. With his E ability “Nevermore”, he can target enemies. His ultimate “Demonic Wings” is particularly effective when many enemies are nearby. Since ARAM takes place all on one lane, this ability works perfectly with the mode.
Maokai has a win rate of 56.2%. This can mainly be explained by the fact that the champion has a lot of CC. With his ultimate “Cocoon”, he summons a wall of brush that blocks the entire lane. This makes him a teamfight monster.
Janna has a win rate of 55.7%. Her kit fits perfectly with the ARAM mode, as her whirlwinds can annoy enemies. But more importantly, her ultimate “Monsoon” is an AOE heal that can heal the entire team. This is especially important in ARAM, where players cannot teleport to base to heal.
The Top 10 best ARAM Champions in Patch 9.15
We take a look at the 10 champions with the highest win rates in the mentioned patch.
Champion

Riot regularly publishes the win rates for the ARAM game mode. This makes it easy to determine which champions are easier to win with. At least in theory. Because a good portion of skill is also part of it.
If you want to complete the last levels of World of Warcraft in turbo mode, you should hurry up. For a few days, leveling is going really fast.
While many players see leveling as fun content in World of Warcraft, there are also a lot of players for whom it is just a necessary chore and who do not enjoy it. These players are looking for the perfect opportunity to get through the leveling areas as quickly as possible and dive into the endgame. Thanks to Timewalking, leveling is currently as fast as it has rarely been before.
This is how it works: Currently, the Timewalking: Cataclysm event is happening, until Tuesday, August 13. These dungeons give quite a lot of experience. If you wear a complete set of heirloom items, a dungeon gives between 50% and 75% of a level. Depending on which dungeons you get, you’ll need between 15 and 20 dungeons. With a good group, this can easily be done in 6 hours; experienced players can probably do it even faster.
Here are some tips for Timewalking: In Timewalking, your character’s level is artificially scaled down, so you deal less damage. However, you receive full experience for your actual level and can also utilize a few mechanics:
You can wear and use legendary items from Legion. They are activated when you are scaled down.
You can wear legacy gear that does not go up to level 120. Since you are at level 85 in the dungeon, it is perfectly fine if the level gear scales up to level 90.
Old set bonuses (such as from Legion) are also active again in the dungeons.
Here’s how to squeeze out even more percentages: If you want to speed things up even more, in addition to the heirlooms, you can rely on additional buffs.
For a few more days, there’s the “Yay!” buff from the Darkmoon Faire, which grants 10% extra XP.
This adds on top of the leveling potion available for warfront tokens (5 tokens for 1 hour of potion) and provides another 10%.
If that still isn’t enough, you should complete an incursion from Horde or Alliance in Kul Tiras or Zandalar. That gives another 10%.
With all these buffs, the time can be pushed down to just under 5 hours if you have a capable group.
Now is therefore the perfect time to level up a few twinks to max level.
Are you diligently leveling your twinks? Or are all your characters already at level 120?

On Twitter in the USA today, on August 7th, the hashtag BoycottBorderlands3 trended for four hours. Players are angry at the studio Gearbox and the publisher Take-Two behind Borderlands 3 for taking action against a YouTuber. But that seems to be just the tip of the iceberg.
What a trend it was? From our perspective this afternoon, on August 7th, the hashtag #BoycottBorderlands3 trended for several hours on Twitter. It didn’t quite make it to the top of Twitter trends, but stayed around places 4 to 7 for 4 hours.
With the trend, people are calling for not buying Borderlands 3.

This happened during a stream on a developer channel that appears to be intended for testing.
Some had speculated it could have been a PR stunt, but it appears to have been a test stream that Gearbox wanted to keep secret. However, it was discovered.
He has a whole bunch of reasons to find Gearbox silly.
The YouTuber SupMatto, who creates a lot of content for Borderlands and maintains about 138,000 subscribers on YouTube, created thumbnails from this stream.
As a result, Take-Two allegedly issued 7 copyright strikes against SupMatto’s channel and even sent two private detectives to his home. The YouTuber made this known.
The detectives wanted to know from him how he discovered the test channel. From SupMatto’s perspective, it was already well known among hardcore fans.

When these actions against the YouTuber became known, anger formed against Borderlands 3. This is no way to treat a fan and content creator. Other YouTubers said: If a company treated me like this, I would never touch another game from them – no matter how much I like them.
This impulse led to the call for a boycott.
Crossfire around Borderlands 3 that has nothing to do with the game
Why did the hashtag trend? The incident involving SupMatto is not the only thing bothering people about Borderlands 3 right now. However, the issues have nothing to do with the game or any design decisions, but with everything surrounding it:
Additionally, the CEO of Gearbox, Randy Pitchford, is a controversial figure and has been involved in trouble several times. He is said to have given the voice of Claptrap a wet slap.
Others responded to the hashtag and said it was nonsense, people would still buy Borderlands 3 even if they called for a boycott

He argues that boycott calls are pointless. People may call for a boycott but still buy it themselves.
Apparently, all of this contributed to the hashtag gaining traction for a few hours today. Whether the anger really affects the sales numbers of Borderlands 3 remains to be seen.
Loot boxes are to become more transparent. This has recently been decided by the three major console manufacturers Microsoft (Xbox One), Sony (PlayStation 4), and Nintendo (Switch) in collaboration with the US organization ESA.
What has been decided? Under the direction of the US agency “Federal Trade Commission”, the ESA (Entertainment Software Association) announced that it has agreed with the three major console manufacturers Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo on a new approach to the controversial topic of loot boxes.
From now on, all new games with loot boxes and updates that add loot boxes to existing games must follow clear rules. The chances of obtaining items of different rarities must always be displayed. This is intended to regulate the wild gambling nature of loot boxes.
If one knows that there is only a 0.001 percent chance of getting a certain item, they might not spend a fortune on real money in the cash shop and can better calculate how much acquiring a specific loot will likely cost them.
“This approach would also be compatible with the Apple and Google approach on mobile platforms. We believe that together this provides a comprehensive approach to ensure that consumers receive the information they need to make informed purchasing decisions when it comes to paid loot boxes.”
How binding are the agreements? The agreement to make loot boxes transparent has been made on a voluntary basis. This is likely a preemptive response by the major manufacturers to possibly upcoming regulations, such as the already implemented loot box ban in Belgium.
Furthermore, besides the aforementioned manufacturers, several publishers are also ESA members and are reportedly participating voluntarily in the agreement. Although no names were mentioned, known ESA members include:
Activision
Blizzard
Bethesda
Disney
Epic
Games
Square
Enix
Take-Two
Ubisoft
It is therefore quite possible that something will soon change regarding loot boxes in the games of the aforementioned publishers and that the boxes will become more transparent.
What was the start of Ninja on the streaming platform “Mixer” like after he left Twitch? The numbers look good, especially among the important subscribers that bring in money. We show you what it’s all about.
This is the backstory: On August 1, the famous Fortnite streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins announced that he would be leaving the live streaming platform “Twitch.TV”. He has signed an exclusive deal with Microsoft, which means he will only stream on the live streaming platform “Mixer”.
This is a big step, as Ninja’s channel had a proud 14 million followers on Twitch. Now, people wonder how many he will have on Mixer and if he can continue his success on Microsoft’s platform.
This was Ninja’s well-known setup on Twitch for a long time.
How did the start on Mixer go? Ninja had his first livestream at the Lollapalooza Festival on August 2 with an average of about 65,000 viewers. A viewer shouted from the audience to Ninja, “You sold out” – but overall, the stream was a success.
Aside from this criticism, the numbers look interesting:
As of August 6 at 2:40 PM, 719,828 people follow his Mixer channel.
His channel has been viewed over 4.3 million times.
Ninja shared the number of subscribers on Twitter on August 3. He wrote: “We just reached over 500,000 subscribers on Mixer. How could we celebrate this better than with a cake?”

What is the difference between followers and subscribers?
Subscribers are people who have taken out paid subscriptions. The cost of a subscription on Twitch is $5, while on Mixer it is about $6. They are credited to the streamer accordingly.
Followers, on the other hand, follow a streamer for free and there is no payment involved.
Ninja achieves a new record never thought possible
The new 500,000 is therefore a staggering number for the streamer. It is estimated that there are now about 650,000 subscribers on Mixer. More than double the numbers he achieved on Twitch, which have been considered absolute exceptions for over a year.
Sponsored by Microsoft
What is behind this high number of subscribers? The subscriptions do not come from nowhere. There is currently a promotion by Microsoft on Mixer. Anyone who subscribes by September 30 can secure a free 1-month subscription to Ninja’s channel.
Normally, such a subscription costs $5.99 on Mixer.
They do not have to be paid for themselves, but are likely sponsored by Microsoft. How much money ultimately goes to Ninja is unclear.
1 million subscriptions on Mixer – number is even higher than expected
Update 7.9.: In the article, we estimated that Ninja would now have 650,000 subscriptions. There are even more. As Ninja himself announced on Twitter, he now has 1 million subscriptions on Mixer.
He feels better than he has in a long time.

His old channel on Twitch still attracts viewers daily. However, there are no more Ninja streams. Twitch had an interesting idea on how to handle the channel:
In Pokémon GO, the gift event is currently active. But this also brings frustration to trainers who now have to spend a lot of time unpacking the colorful boxes.
What kind of event is this? On Monday, August 5th, the Gift Event in Pokémon GO started. This is meant to further strengthen the friendships between trainers.
What are the bonuses? Niantic came up with some ideas for the bonuses to make the gifts that you can send to your friends in the game more interesting:
All eggs from gifts will hatch after 2 kilometers in the incubator but can contain all Pokémon from the 7-KM eggs
During the event, you can open 30 gifts per day
You can also store 20 gifts in your bag
The new shiny Mobai is now in the game and can be hatched
Long unpacking time of gifts annoys players
What is the problem? At first glance, the new bonuses look good. There are more gifts and cool Pokémon that can now be hatched even faster. So why the frustration?
Trainers can open more gifts per day than before. But opening the gifts has always been a thorn in the side of many players. Because it is time consuming.
Although the gifts are important, as they increase the friends level and you receive items like Poké Balls from them.
Each gift has to be opened individually. There is no “Open all gifts” button. So you need to invest several seconds for each gift to complete the opening and collecting of items. At first glance, this sounds like a luxury problem.
But with 30 gifts in a row, that adds up to a few minutes spent mindlessly opening gifts.
Because you can currently receive even more gifts per day, some trainers are frustrated.
What players demand: On Reddit , players again suggest “There should be a button to open all gifts at once”.
The player Twoninjas2015 writes that opening gifts currently consumes too much time during which one cannot play. This is a problem for trainers with little time.
Fortnite: Battle Royale has surprisingly introduced a building ban in the new zone Tilted Town, which forced a player to consume a whole PlayStation Store gift card.
Why did someone eat a gift card? The Reddit user and Fortnite fan AuraxisKnight recently ate a gift card for PlayStation in a video. With great effort, he bit and swallowed piece by piece of the tough, reinforced cardboard. But why?
It all started when AuraxisKnight boasted just a day ago that Epic would probably never patch a building ban zone into the game. That would never happen; if it did, he would genuinely consume a whole gift card for PlayStation 4.
Therefore, the Reddit user had to follow through on his words. He approached it so dutifully that he had already consumed parts of the card before he thought of recording it all.
However, the rest of the card consumption made it into the video that we’ve embedded here.
This is how the community reacts: The thread with the video of the card feast was well received on Reddit. The post received over 4,000 upvotes and tons of comments. Many Reddit users praise AuraxisKnight’s commitment:
“You are a man of your word! Immediate upvote. You are certainly someone you can rely on.”
“Now you can not only say that Epic is ruining the health of the game, but also that of its players and the community!”
“I’m now waiting for the guy who swears to eat his socks if the mech doesn’t disappear by the end of next week!”
“Respect, bro, you keep your word!”
“A man of action, respect! Epic, look at what you’ve done to this guy!”
Warning, do not try this at home: With all the respect that the action has evoked, you should still not attempt this. While cardboard is not toxic in itself, consuming printed and treated cards is not healthy.
The building ban zone is alongside the mech a hotly debated topic in Fortnite. However, not everyone finds the building bans terrible:
