Priests receive a new quest in Hearthstone that makes Priests truly interesting again with the expansion “Saviors of Uldum”!
Hearthstone is launching soon with its new expansion “Saviors of Uldum”. The expansion brings a total of 135 new cards into the game.
In recent weeks, we have continuously presented new cards as Blizzard gradually revealed the individual cards. We are now in the final stretch, where Blizzard has released some real highlights that we want to briefly introduce.
Priests turn into buff monsters in Hearthstone
Priests receive the new quest “Activate the Obelisk”. Like all quests, this card starts in the player’s hand and can be played in turn 1. The quest requires the Priest to restore a total of 15 health points. These health points must actually cause healing. Thus, the “groundless” healing of someone who already has full health points does not help.
As a reward, the new hero power “Eye of the Obelisk” is awarded. This allows the Priest to restore 3 health points to a character for 2 mana. If the target is a minion, it additionally receives a buff of +3/+3. This can turn weak minions into real threats, creating threats out of nothing and continuously.
However, it is also interesting that this quest can be largely “countered” by the opponent. If the opponent ensures that minions do not remain undamaged on the battlefield, it becomes significantly more difficult for the Priest to complete this quest.
The quest is likely to create a whole new archetype of Priest that primarily focuses on healing to subsequently strengthen its minions.
Rogues become immune, get powerful weapons
Rogues receive a quest of similar caliber. The great “Basaraheist” requires the Rogue to add at least 4 cards of another class to their own hand. This is possible through many Rogue cards and, depending on the deck, it should take only 3 to 5 turns if they are lucky when drawing cards.
As a reward, the new hero power “Ancient Blades” is awarded. This gives the Rogue a weapon with the stats 3/2 for 2 mana. However, that’s not all, because the blades also make the Rogue immune while attacking.
In clear terms, this means that Rogues can now eliminate many threats using their weapons without taking any damage themselves. When combined with minions, it allows for easy elimination of large taunt minions, which can then be killed without problem.
In various forums, players are already agreeing that the reward is a bit too strong and should be toned down. The quest appears so powerful that it will likely be present in almost every Rogue deck. Swapping the weak 1/2 weapon for a 3/2 variant with immunity is likely too tempting.
Besides that, Blizzard has revealed a few other cards that are also very powerful.
The legendary neutral minion King Phaoris is likely to elicit a drawn-out “Uff” from many players. For 10 mana, it brings only 5/5 stats onto the battlefield, but comes with an extremely powerful battlecry. For each spell in the player’s hand, King Phaoris summons a random minion with the same cost. If you have three spells in hand, one costing 4 mana, one costing 7 mana, and another costing 10 mana, Phaoris summons a random minion for 4, 7, and 10 mana respectively. Particularly mages are likely to be licking their fingers over this card.
A bit less powerful but certainly exciting is the neutral minion card Bandaged Golem. For 7 mana, it has stats of 7/5 and additionally the effect of summoning a scarab with stats of 1/1 and taunt at the end of its owner’s turn. Moreover, the golem has resurrection, allowing it to be revived once with 1 health point.
Khartut Defender is likely the perfect mix of solid taunt and nice healing for its own hero. For 6 mana, it only has stats of 3/4, but comes with taunt and resurrection, as well as the deathrattle that restores 3 health to its own hero. This amounts to a total of 6 healing since it will be summoned again upon its death.
What do you think of these new cards? Do you like them? Or are the quests too strong?
New gameplay videos are circulating for the anime MMORPG “Blue Protocol” (PC) by Bandai Namco from the closed alpha. The game looks like an anime come to life. Many are asking: Will it come to Europe and North America? Unfortunately, there isn’t much good news regarding a release for the EU and the West.
Blue Protocol is developed by Bandai Namco, a renowned Japanese publisher (Dark Souls, Tekken). The new MMORPG has already made headlines with its first images.
Players are supposed to travel through space and time. What makes it special is that Blue Protocol will be a PC MMORPG – there are hardly any left, since the mobile boom started in Asia.
See the first gameplay of the new MMORPG Blue Protocol here
This is what the MMORPG Blue Protocol looks like: The first alpha of Blue Protocol has now started, primarily featuring Japanese players. The closed alpha is actually under strict NDA – but some videos have already leaked online.
This video shows the combat system in action. Here are 8 minutes of an archer:

No release of Blue Protocol in Europe currently planned, but …
Will the MMORPG also come to Europe? Here, there is bad news. On reddit the administration of the Blue Protocol subreddit says they have received official word from Bandai Namco:
“Bandai Namco currently has no plans to release the game in the West. However, Bandai Namco also stated that this is something that could change.”

So there is a small hope that Blue Protocol may still get a release in Europe and come to the West.
Until then, it looks like we now have another MMORPG to hope for from afar, alongside Lost Ark.
The gem “Legacy of Dreams” will change quite a bit in Diablo 3. With patch 2.6.6 at the start of season 18, it is in the game. How is it being received by the players?
What kind of gem is this? In the patch notes for patch 2.6.6 in Diablo 3, the developers explained what new things will soon be in the game. In addition to balance changes, new items are also being introduced. Among them is the legendary gem “Legacy of Dreams”.
The name of the gem is likely familiar to many of you from a ring set: Legacy of Nightmares. And just like the ring set, the gem works similarly. Its effect is as follows:
“When you have no active set bonuses, each equipped legendary item increases your damage dealt by 3.75% and reduces your damage taken by 2% (maximum level 99).
Rank 25: This bonus is doubled for ancient items.”
Why is Diablo 3 incorporating the gem? In the current season 17 in Diablo 3, there is a passive effect from Legacy of Nightmares for all seasonal players. This has received much praise from the community. The developers state that the effect has opened up many more possibilities for long-term content in season 17.
This new feature is now intended to remain a permanent option in the game. By implementing it as a legendary gem, there are expected to be many application possibilities.
What new possibilities arise? Previously, you had to give up 2 ring slots to receive the bonus from Legacy of Nightmares. Now, one socket is sufficient. This provides more options for rings, allowing the use of additional legendary bonuses without having to sacrifice the LoN bonus.
The new gem is well received in the community. Players have already calculated how effective it will be. Generally, there is excitement for more variety in builds.
“Guys, I love the new legendary gem,” writes one user. Others wonder how effective it is.
“For those who are unsure. It has been confirmed in the forums that the level 99 version of the gem has the same LoN bonus. All they are doing is letting you choose whether to take a socket or two rings for the bonus. But as we have learned, it is technically better to take the socket, as this allows you to wear two ancient rings of your choice.
I personally think it’s great because we really saw much more variety in builds this season, and it continues like this,” writes a player on Reddit.
In Pokémon GO, you will find the raid boss Rayquaza. With this guide, we will help you defeat the level 5 opponent.
Rayquaza watches over some arenas in Pokémon GO as a legendary raid boss. The monster belongs to the types Flying and Dragon and, together with Kyogre and Groudon, forms the trio of weather legendaries.
Strong Ice attackers are very effective in battles against Rayquaza. We will show you which attackers you should choose in the fight against this raid boss.
Rayquaza Overview – Attacks, CP
Here are the key details about Rayquaza: The maximum boss CP of this monster is 49808. Rayquaza will stay until September. It will disappear on September 2.
At level 20 and with 100% IV, Rayquaza reaches 2191 CP.
Due to the weather boost during wind, a maximum of 2739 CP (level 25, 100% IV) is possible when catching it.
Due to its types “Dragon” and “Flying”, it is particularly vulnerable to Ice attackers. Additionally, Rock, Dragon, and Fairy types are also effective. A group of 2-3 strong trainers should be able to defeat Rayquaza.
Rayquaza’s Attacks
The following attacks can be mastered by Rayquaza and used in battle:
Attack
Type
Dragon Tail (Fast Attack)
Dragon
Aircutter (Fast Attack)
Flying
Outrage (Charge Attack)
Dragon
Aero Blast (Charge Attack)

The gaming giant Electronic Arts has revealed its numbers for Q1 of the fiscal year 2020. Live service games like FIFA 19, The Sims 4, or Apex Legends bring in a lot of money for EA. But there is no word on Anthem, the publisher’s troubled child.
This is the period in question: Q1 of the fiscal year 2020 runs from April to June 2019. EA talked about this quarter now and released a report.
EA’s stock price rises after strong numbers
What do the numbers look like? In the quarter, EA made 1.2 billion dollars in revenue – that is more than a year ago at the same time.
The revenue comes largely from “digital revenue” – only 160 million of the 1.2 billion $ comes from the sale of discs and other sources.
The revenues are therefore above the expectations of the stock market – hence EA’s stock price rose after the announcement of the news, as Venturebeat reports.
The green area represents the “live service” revenues.
Live service is the big money maker
How does EA make all this money? The main revenue source for EA is “live service.” This is the money games earn when players already own them, continue to play and spend money.
These revenues include microtransactions or subscription fees. These revenues continue to grow at a high level. EA’s live service revenue streams include:
What stands out: Players of the shooter Anthem notice that their game is not mentioned at all in EA’s financial report (via reddit).
The shooter is considered EA’s troubled child. It is unlikely that microtransactions will flow in. In the past, EA has repeatedly stated that they will intensify efforts to make Anthem a success.
In Destiny 2 you have a limited time chance to obtain and upgrade an armor set in the Solstice style. The “Solstice of Heroes 2019” event is ongoing. Here’s how it works.
This is what the Solstice armor is about: On July 30th, the summer event in Destiny 2 started. This is called Solstice of Heroes and offers a new activity in the form of the European Airzone as well as a limited-time armor set.
This is how you get the armor set: First, go to Eva Levante in the Tower. She is located right near the spawn point in the courtyard, where there is also a huge Solstice statue. She greets you warmly and gives you your first Solstice armor piece of green quality (Void).
Next, you need to complete a run in the European Airzone. You start the event at the statue in the Tower or via the navigator on the Tower map. Once this is done, you will receive the remaining armor pieces.
Now you have the complete set. However, the grind is just beginning. You need to upgrade the armor pieces multiple times – from green quality level to Masterwork.
For each Guardian class, there are different tasks that distribute differently across the armor pieces. All tasks come from datamining and have not yet been fully verified.
Important: You must equip the armor pieces to make progress. Additionally, during the Solstice of Heroes, different elemental bonuses (Solar, Arc, Void) are active each day. You must take this into account for the tasks.

The armor glow that makes your Solstice set shine is available in the Eververse for silver or glimmer.
Is the Solstice armor worth it? This armor set remains relevant even with the upcoming Shadowkeep expansion. You can read more about it here:
Last night, Riot Games released the new patch 9.15 for Teamfight Tactics. The focus was on the revisions of many traits and origins.
What are the highlights of the patch? Patch 9.15 was the second major patch since the launch of Teamfight Tactics. It didn’t introduce a new champion, unlike patch 9.14, but it did bring plenty of balance changes.
Highlights include the numerous revisions of classes and origins in the game, which we will delve into further below. There are also hints for new champions and new items, as the developers have introduced new bonuses for four classes:
Gunslinger 6 = Gunslingers have a chance for 3 additional attacks.
Brawler 6 = All Brawlers gain 1,200 additional health.
Shapeshifter 6 = Shapeshifters gain 120% additional health upon transforming.
Blade Master 9 = Blade Masters have a chance for 4 additional attacks.
These bonuses are not yet accessible, except for the Blade Master. This suggests that either new spatula items or new champions of these classes are coming.
It also means that you can now make your Draven even stronger. With three additional champions wielding the Blade of the Ruined King, you achieve the 9-stack buff, which has already been achieved on the PBE (via reddit).
Alongside this update, there are also small highlights in bug fixes and adjustments:
The “Play Again” button now returns you to the last mode you played. Players can now remain in ranked mode permanently, which many have requested.
Garen now moves again while he is in spin-to-win mode.
In the following, we will take an in-depth look at the changes of the patch.
Major overhaul for Noble and Void Creatures
Which origins benefit from the patch?As previously announced, the developers of Teamfight Tactics have extensively revised some origins and classes.
While Demons and Dragons were rather weakened by this patch, Nobles and Void Creatures can rejoice over significant adjustments.
Demons: The chance for mana burning is reduced from 25%/50%/85% to 20%/35%/60%.
Varus – ability damage is reduced from 400/600/800 to 300/550/800.
Aatrox – ability damage is reduced from 400/700/1,000 to 250/600/950. His health is also reduced from 750 to 700.
Morgana – ability damage is reduced from 300/375/450 to 200/325/450.
Dragons
Dragons were completely immune to magic damage due to their bonus. This has now changed, and their Dragon Claw bonus has been adjusted. In return, both dragons were buffed:
Dragon: Magic immunity is reduced from 100% to 83%.
Shyvana – armor increased from 20 to 30.
Aurelion Sol – health increased from 600 to 650.
Aurelion Sol – ability damage increased from 250/450/650 to 250/500/750.
Nobles will enjoy a significant change, as their bonus now also grants magic resistance, making them stronger against spellcasters and elemental mages. In return, however, they lose some armor:
Noble: 100 armor/+35 health per hit changes to 60 armor and magic resistance/+35 health per hit.
Vayne – attack damage reduced from 45 to 40. Attack speed is increased from 0.65 to 0.75.
Garen – attack damage reduced from 55 to 50. Attack speed is increased from 0.55 to 0.6. Ability damage is adjusted from 450/585/720 to 360/585/810.
Void Creature
Void Creatures have hardly been used by players until now. Therefore, they were significantly adjusted in patch 9.15. This affects both their bonus and some champions:
Void Creatures: “All your units ignore 50% armor” changes to “Void Creatures now deal true damage”.
Kassadin – attack damage increased from 45 to 55. Attack speed is reduced from 0.65 to 0.6.
Kha’Zix – ability damage against non-isolated targets is increased from 150/250/350 to 150/300/450. His attack damage is also increased from 50 to 55.
Rek’Sai – attack damage increased from 40 to 50. Ability damage increased from 150/250/350 to 200/350/500. However, healing from the ability is reduced from 300/400/500 to 150/300/450.
Cho’Gath – attack speed increased from 0.55 to 0.6. Ability damage is increased from 200/400/600 to 250/500/750. However, the duration of the knock-up is reduced from 1.5/2/2.5 to 1.5/1.75/2.
What else changed with origins? In addition to these major changes, smaller ones were also made. Elemental Mages experienced a nerf in the small patch 9.14b. In return, Brand and Lissandra have been strengthened:
Lissandra – ability damage increased from 150/200/250 to 150/275/400. Brand – ability damage increased from 175/325/475 to 200/375/550.
The Yordles, on the other hand, have been slightly buffed in the early game. The dodge chance has been increased, and Gnar and Veigar have been slightly improved:
Yordle: The dodge chance changes from (3) 25%/(6) 60% dodge to (3) 30%/(6) 55% dodge. Also avoids hit effects.
Lulu – armor reduced from 25 to 20.
Veigar – health increased from 450 to 500.
Gnar – attack damage increased from 45 to 50.
Knight now strengthens all allies
Which classes were changed by the patch? In addition to the aforementioned additional class bonuses, there were also many balance adjustments.
There are significant changes to Assassins, Knights, and Ninjas, and minor changes to Protectors and Pirates.
Assassins
The Assassins get interesting updates. Alongside buffs for some champions, they now also jump earlier, while non-Assassins move slower:
Assassins jump earlier and their jumps are faster. Non-Assassins move slower at the start of the fight. In return, Assassins can be attacked sooner.
Evelynn – attack damage increased from 60 to 70. Ability damage is increased from 200/250/350 to 200/300/400.
Katarina – ability targets increased from 3/5/7 to 4/6/8.
Rengar – attack damage increased from 65 to 70. Attack speed increases from 0.55 to 0.6, and the attack speed buff of the ability from 0.3/0.5/0.7 to 0.4/0.7/1.0.
Protectors
Protectors are getting closer to their name with this patch. The armor on other targets is increased, but they no longer strengthen themselves. They generally get more armor:
Protectors: (2) 40 armor per level is increased to (2) 50 armor per level. Protectors do not apply the buff to themselves.
Braum – armor increased from 25 to 75.
Leona – armor increased from 55 to 100.
Ninjas
Kennen is currently one of the strongest champions and in general, ninjas are often used as an enhancement to many combos. With the new patch, they also gain ability power, but slightly lose attack damage:
Ninja attribute bonus: (1) 40% attack damage/(4) 80% attack damage changes to (1) +40 attack damage and ability power/(4) +60 attack damage and ability power.
Shen – attack speed increased from 0.6 to 0.7.
Zed – attack speed increased from 0.6 to 0.65. Attack damage is simultaneously increased from 60 to 65.
Kennen – ability damage reduced from 400/650/900 to 225/450/675.
Akali – ability damage reduced from 200/375/550 to 150/275/400.
Pirates now yield more gold and the Twisted Fate introduced in the last patch receives a small buff:
Pirate: Average gold per chest is increased from 1.6 to 1.75.
Graves – attack speed increased from 0.5 to 0.55.
Twisted Fate – now attacks better and his ability damage is increased from 100/150/200 to 150/250/350.
Knight
The biggest overhaul in classes hits the Knights. They now strengthen the entire team but lose their damage reduction. In compensation, everyone gains a bit of armor:
Knights block 20/40/80 damage from normal attacks ⇒ Your team ignores 15/30/55 damage from all sources.
Darius – armor increased from 25 to 40.
Garen – armor increased from 35 to 40.
Mordekaiser – armor increased from 35 to 40.
Sejuani – armor increased from 35 to 40. Stun duration is also increased from 2/3.5/5 to 2/4/6.
Kayle – health reduced from 800 to 750. In return, however, armor is increased from 35 to 40.
Buffs for Archers and Nerf for player damage
What else changed with the champions? Many champion changes were released alongside adjustments to the classes or origins. However, there were additional balance changes:
Blitzcrank – mana reduced from 150 to 125.
Ashe – attack damage increased from 60 to 65.
Kindred – attack damage increased from 55 to 60.
Morgana – execution duration of ability increased from 0.35 to 0.5 seconds.
Yasuo – attack damage increased from 65 to 75.
Karthus – ability damage increased from 350/600/850 to 400/700/1,000. The number of targets for the ability is also increased from 4/7/10 to 5/9/13.
Nerfs to many items
What has changed with the items? In this patch, the changes to items have been rather minimal. The most significant impact was on the Amulet of the Iron Solari, which now grants a shield of 250 health for the first 4 seconds of the fight instead of permanently.
Additionally, there were further nerfs for:
Ionian Spark – damage reduced from 200 to 150.
Silence – duration reduced from 5 seconds to 3 seconds.
What other changes were there? The new patch also brought general adjustments. For example, the damage from neutral NPCs and summoned creatures has been adjusted:
Damage from small spiders/elemental golem: 2 ⇒ 1
Rank 4 (1 star): 3 ⇒ 2
Rank 5 (1 star): 4 ⇒ 3
Rank 3 (2 stars): 4 ⇒ 3
Rank 4 (2 stars): 5 ⇒ 4
Rank 5 (2 stars): 6 ⇒ 5
Rank 4 (3 stars): 7 ⇒ 6
There is also an adjustment to the win and loss streaks. Additional gold is now awarded after 2, 4, and 7 rounds.
In the carousel, there is now one less champion available since the release of the patch. Instead of 10, only 9 champions are offered. The selection is now even more competitive.
Additionally, there have been numerous graphical adjustments regarding champions’ effects. Many are now significantly clearer than before.
Teamfight Tactics is not yet playable on mobile. However, there is now a new game for Tencent for smartphones:
The next wing of the LFR of the raid “Eternal Palace” in World of Warcraft is now open. We will show you how to defeat the new bosses.
With the end of the maintenance work on this Wednesday (31.07.2019), a new part of the raid “Eternal Palace” opens in World of Warcraft in LFR. From now on, players can dive into the second of three wings and defeat three more bosses. Signing up is easy through the group finder. This mode is comfortable for getting to know the bosses without being too challenged.
How to defeat Lady Ashvane, Orgozoa, and the Queen’s Court
We will show you how to defeat the three bosses from the Depths of the Devoted section. While they are significantly easier in LFR than in other modes, you certainly don’t want to be the only one who is “the noob” dying to the mechanics, right?
Lady Ashvane: Lady Ashvane is a relatively long fight and requires some attention. She repeatedly creates large corals that you must stay away from.
Every now and then, water bubbles will be shot from the corals, slowly flying towards Lady Ashvane. You must collect them before they reach her.
Sometimes players get trapped in water bubbles. These must be quickly destroyed so that teammates can be freed.
Sometimes players will be marked with runes. Two players have the same rune, and after a short time, an energy beam will be fired between the two players, dealing damage. Position yourselves so that there is a coral between two players with the same rune, and it will be destroyed.
You should save your major damage cooldowns until Lady Ashvane’s shield is destroyed. Only then can you deal permanent damage to her – take this opportunity!
Orgozoa: The large tentacle monster Orgozoa is the next boss and also has some mechanics that can lead to a quick death.
Always focus on the adds as soon as they appear. When they die, they leave behind a blue puddle. A player with an immunity effect (such as Divine Shield or Ice Block) should stand in it, or several players at once. If this does not happen, the raid will take heavy damage.
Regularly, secretions fall from the ceiling, covering almost the entire fight area. However, there is always a small space to dodge between the puddles. Do not get hit!
Orgozoa will flee after a while. Follow him and avoid all effects! They can push you and send you straight to your death.
The Queen’s Court: The Queen’s Court consists of 2 Naga, one male and one female. They must be tanked with a large distance between them.
Both Naga need to die at the same time; you have a 15-second grace period. If this does not happen, the fight will unnecessarily drag on.
Gather at the male Naga when he casts a large water dome. Outside the dome, you will take heavy damage.
When the male Naga charges at a player, position yourself with that player. The damage taken will be split among all affected characters.
The female Naga uses a large area spell with a 30-meter radius around her. Make sure to avoid this at all costs.
When 3 sparks appear, you should kill two of them in quick succession so they do not explode simultaneously. The third one can be ignored.
Don’t forget the bonus tokens: Before visiting the raid, you should definitely stop by the Astral in your capital city (Boralus or Dazar’alor) to buy bonus tokens. This will allow you to roll on loot from bosses once again.
The Fortnite World Championship is over and Bugha is a deserving winner. The favorite of many, however, is the 13-year-old King.
Who is King? The Argentine, whose real name is Thiago Lapp, was previously known to very few. He is only 13 years old and his eSports career is quite literally still in its infancy.
King quickly became popular with the viewers because fans saw almost always action and many kills. For every kill that King achieved, the audience in New York cheered loudly.
What place did the Argentine take? In the end, it was 5th place for King. 900,000 dollars now await the 13-year-old. In the end, even more could have been possible, as he was eliminated right at the start in one round. He hadn’t even landed when a fellow player took him out.
If he could have attacked the same way in that round, surely a higher placement would have been possible.
How does King react to this fame? He himself has not commented on the placement. Recently, he thanked Twitter for over 14,000 viewers at one stream. It seems the fans want to continue to see him after the WMs.

There is a video on Twitter from King after the World Championship. There, he is in the arms of his father and is overwhelmed by his emotions. His father seems visibly proud of his son.
The winner of the solo World Championship was hacked directly on Twitter and Twitch:
In Destiny 2, it’s that time again on July 30th for the Weekly Reset. This brings the Guardians new weekly activities and challenges. Additionally, there are new Nightfall strikes and a new Flashpoint. Also, the Solstice of Heroes event starts today.
The Destiny week starts for players with an update and the mandatory downtime. If everything goes as planned, playing can resume by 7:00 PM. The maintenance is scheduled to end at 8:00 PM.
After that, Guardians can dive directly into the contents of the Solstice of Heroes event. Here you will learn everything about the summer highlight of Destiny 2:
For completing the Flashpoint on Titan and the associated adventure, you will receive 2 powerful rewards.
At Werner/Benedict 99-40, there are again 4 new weekly bounties. Each of these 4 bounties is rewarded with a powerful reward. If you complete all four tasks, an additional powerful reward awaits you. Also, there are 3 more powerful rewards to collect in the Menagerie, but you should have made corresponding upgrades to your Cup of Opulence.
At Ada-1, you will find all powerful weapon patterns.
If you complete 20 any bounties this week, you will receive a powerful item from Ikora Rey.
Hawthorne rewards collecting 5,000 Clan XP this week with a powerful reward. Further powerful loot can be earned by completing the bounties “Which Witch”, “To Each Their Own”, “With Both Hands”, and “A Perilous Affair”. Each bounty grants a powerful reward.

These are the Glimmer highlights of the Eververse:
When Rayquaza returns to Pokémon GO, you can easily defeat the legendary Pokémon in pairs. We’ll tell you how to do it.
It’s that easy: Even two players at level 25 can already defeat Rayquaza together. You just need the right counters. The higher your level and the stronger your Pokémon, the easier it will be.
How long Rayquaza will return: You have the whole month of August to find Rayquaza in raids. The legendary Pokémon will appear starting tomorrow, August 1st, until September 2nd. So, you have a full month to raid.
How to defeat Rayquaza in pairs
What counters are good? Rayquaza is vulnerable to Ice, Rock, and Dragon types. Ice Pokémon are especially a good choice, as Rayquaza has a double weakness against this type.
Mamutel is the best choice against Rayquaza. Even at level 25.
This helps in battle: Keep in mind that your friendship level makes you stronger in battle. If you have the choice for a duo partner, choose someone with whom you are best friends.
The weather can also play a role. Snow should be very unlikely in summer. So don’t rely too much on the weather.
What your team should look like: Of course, the selection of Pokémon here is not very large. To have a chance at this level, you need Pokémon that are also at level 25.
Mewtu with Ice attacks is a top choice
These Pokémon are good: If your battle team consists of these three Pokémon, you can defeat Rayquaza:
How to succeed: Before you start the raid, make sure to have enough revives. You will certainly need to revive your Pokémon again.
How to defeat Rayquaza at level 30
What your team should look like: At level 30, you have a bit more selection. You can also rely on the Pokémon that work at level 25. The Pokémon we list now must be at least level 30 to defeat Rayquaza.
How to succeed: The further you go down the list, the harder it gets. If you have a team of Mamutel, Mewtu, Glaziola, and Snibunna at level 30, you should not have any problem with Rayquaza.
How to defeat Rayquaza at level 35
What your team should look like: At level 35, you have a very large selection of Pokémon. Besides all the Pokémon we listed above, there is now also the first Rock-type Pokémon that you can use.
Kracko with Dragon Tail and Outrage
Lapras with Ice Beam and Ice Beam
Alolan Sandshrew with Powder Snow and Blizzard
Glaceon with Ice Beam and Avalanche
How to succeed: When you have two players at level 35, you shouldn’t have any problem with Rayquaza. Just make sure to focus on Ice-type Pokémon in your battle team, as they are the best. Level up some Ice Pokémon beforehand if necessary.
How to defeat Rayquaza at level 40
What your team should look like: If you have two players at maximum level, you can set up your team very broadly. This way, you can also easily defeat Rayquaza with Dragon-type Pokémon.
Palkia with Dragon Tail and Draco Meteor
Rayquaza with Dragon Tail and Outrage
Frosdedje with Powder Snow and Avalanche
Dragonite with Dragon Tail and Outrage
Alolan Ninetales with Powder Snow and Ice Beam
Latios with Flamethrower and Dragon Claw
Electivire with Thunder Shock and Ice Punch
How to succeed: If you are both level 40, then Rayquaza is easy to defeat. If you have some Ice- or Dragon-type Pokémon at maximum level, then it’s no problem.

In the franchise The Division, where The Division 2 is the currently active game, a film is planned for Netflix. Now the director has spoken about it. He will deviate from the movies of the games, but stay true to the soul of the game.
Who is speaking? The speaker is the director David Leitch; he is known for action films like Atomic Blonde and Deadpool 2. Currently, his new film “Fast & Furious presents: Hobbs & Shaw” is upcoming.
On a promo tour, he spoke with GamesRadar about the Netflix film for “The Division.” The film has been announced for a long time, but it seems to be taking shape only now. Ubisoft had presented it again at E3 during the presentation of The Division 2.
These will be the two stars of the film, Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Chastain.
They are still working on the script for the film adaptation of The Division 2
This is the current status: At the moment, the main actors Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Chastain are already cast, but the script of the film is not yet completed.
Leitch says: “For the story, we have to deviate from the games because in those, players can choose their own path. We have to decide on a route and we are currently working on that script.”
This is Leitch’s view of the material: Leitch says: “From my perspective, the DNA of the game is great. The world is irresistible and the visuals are impressive, but the foundation of the game has this human side, this goodness. It’s about positivity, about rebooting humanity. We want to stay true to these things.”
This is what is still known about the film: The film is based on the plot of The Division 1. A virus breaks out in the near future on Black Friday.
sleeper agents are activated during the epidemic in New York City, where the virus has already killed millions of people.
The “Division” is humanity’s last hope for civilization not to plunge into chaos.
The film is set to be released on Netflix. If the script is still being worked on, it will probably take some time before we can expect it.
The players of The Division 2 had already joked about how closely the film would resemble the game and how a film about The Division might look:

This is Didier Drogba: For Bayern fans, Drogba certainly remains a painful memory. Many can remember the Ivorian particularly because of the lost Champions League final “at home.” There he burst Bayern’s title dreams in 2012. But he also dominated the Premier League for years with his goals.
The striker was feared especially for his technical brilliance and ambidexterity. What was particularly remarkable about his style of play was that he could play extremely versatile. He was equally dangerous with headers and long shots.

Moreover, he is a true club legend for Chelsea FC, where he played the longest time of his career and scored 104 goals in 254 games.
Last year, the two-time African Footballer of the Year ended his long career at Phoenix Rising, a club from the American MLS.
The fans are looking forward to the cult striker
That’s why FIFA players are excited: On reddit there is great joy about the announcement of the new Icon card. There are many Drogba fans who are simply excited to play their idol again. The players hope that his versatility will also be showcased in the game.
The 1.89m striker, who was also agile and technically gifted, could receive a really good card. There is especially speculation about good shooting and heading values, this combination should lead to many goals.
What the fans say:
A fan is looking forward to Drogba but fears he will have to destroy his controller because of all the headed goals that are coming his way
Other fans believe that Drogba will either be fantastic or useless, there is no in-between
Some users insist that they actually didn’t want to buy FIFA 20, but that has changed because of Drogba. One user says: “And so my plan to boycott FIFA is fading… well played EA”
Some players even don’t care about the stats: “I don’t care if he has 11 agility and 12 balance, I will get this card as quickly as possible to play with it as much as I can”
How strong will the card be? One cannot yet say how strong Didier Drogba’s Icon cards will actually be. EA is still tight-lipped about the stats.
When will all Icons be revealed? The complete Icon list could be released in early September. Until then, EA Sports will probably announce individual Icons from time to time.
Perhaps new Icons will be shown as early as July 31, when new information about FUT 20 is expected.
These are Icons: The Icon cards are former star footballers that can be played in FUT. The condition is that the player has shown outstanding performances in football and is currently no longer active as a professional.
Icons have extremely strong stats and are very rare to find in packs. Furthermore, it is easy to integrate them into FUT teams. That is why they are highly sought after.
However, it seems that Zane is a classic daredevil. In the video, he can be seen in various fights, and he does not shy away from a tough battle.
What is mainly shown is Zane’s loneliness. He is so lonely that he has to talk to a hologram of himself. However, he says to the hologram that it would understand him best and also looks good.
How are fans reacting to it? Initial reactions to the trailer are positive. Many find Zane really cool, and there have already been several statements that Zane will be their character for the adventures.
For instance, MsstatePSH said on Reddit: “Damn… The more I find out about it, the more I consider changing my choice from Fl4k to Zane.”
This is Zane
What can Zane do? Some details about Zane were known in advance. He is supposed to be able to equip 2 skills, but he cannot carry grenades.
The hologram that Zane talks to in the trailer is also one of his abilities. These are supposed to distract opponents in battle. To find out what other abilities Zane possesses, read here:
The upcoming raids for Fallout 76 are expected to be really tough nuts to crack, even for experienced players. However, during QuakeCon 2019, the developers announced new features that could possibly help players.
What are these features? It’s about legendary perks. These were briefly mentioned by the developers during the Fallout 76 panel at QuakeCon 2019. These perks are supposed to be particularly powerful, but are closely tied to S.P.E.C.I.A.L. and perks.
Legendary Perks – what is that?
How to obtain the perks: While explaining the feature, Project Lead Jeff Gardiner talked about how the perks can be obtained. He mentioned that players can choose a legendary perk “every 50 levels or so.”
However, he should not be pinned down to that number. Since the feature is still in early development, it’s likely that when you get the cards will change.
The perks from Fallout 76 so far.
Gardiner also noted that higher-level players will already gain access to several legendary perks as soon as they are implemented. The number depends on how many levels you will actually need per legendary perk.
This is how the perks work: Upon leveling up to the corresponding level, you can choose a S.P.E.C.I.A.L. attribute in which you then become “legendary”. In this attribute, you will receive a wide selection of perks.
These perks can be equipped and leveled up in this slot, just like perks have been before. The legendary perks are supposed to be “especially powerful.”

A special twist about the perks is that they work a bit like a “New Game +”. When you start a new character, you already have the possibility to equip the legendary perks of your main character.
Legendary Perks as assistance for raids
What are raids? Raids were already announced earlier this year and were also showcased during QuakeCon 2019. These PvE activities are traditionally among the most challenging in any game. It will likely be the same in Fallout 76.
The first raids in Fallout 76 will be Vault 94 and Vault 96. The two vaults have already been presented as particularly great challenges. They are supposed to be available for four higher-level players in three different difficulty levels.
It seems that the raids are so difficult that there has already been consideration of what happens if one fails. The special loot that you can get from the raids is also available if you do not complete them successfully.
Will legendary perks help me in raids? The developers indicated that the raids are designed for four players. However, those who are particularly masochistically inclined can also try it with fewer players or even alone.
The legendary perks could help here. While there is still no information about the legendary perks, from what we know so far, you could boost yourself with the legendary perks as follows:
Strength for heavy weapons and melee – for example for power armor builds
The raids are coming in August. However, we do not yet know if the legendary perks will be ready by then. As soon as we know more about the perks and their effects, we will inform you here on MeinMMO.
The perks could also have a completely different use – for the also announced NPCs. Those who specialize in charisma might have better options in dialogues for the factions:
Griefing has been a major issue in Red Dead Online, the multiplayer mode of Red Dead Redemption 2, for a long time. With the introduction of offensive and defensive game modes, this problem should have been resolved on its own – or so one would think. A player took the law into their own hands in RDO and got revenge in the best way on two troublemakers.
How did the player deal with the griefers? In the Red Dead subreddit, the player prangonpaul recently showcased a delightful clip. In the video, the cowboy rides leisurely along a road when he notices two opposing players. It appears that the two had just raided another player.
As they notice prangonpaul, they rush at him with drawn weapons. They fire at him and even hit his hat, which could have meant his end. However, before the next shot, prangonpaul has already taken them both out – with just one shot.

Not every player wanted to fight other cowboys; some wanted to pick up their mail in town or go hunting in the wilderness in peace.
Rockstar soon introduced an anti-griefer system with Parley and Feud. Players who have been killed by opponents four times can initiate Parley, where both parties cannot attack each other for 10 minutes. During a Feud, a kind of deathmatch starts between the two players to settle once and for all who is in charge.
However, players criticized the system as it barely stops the really persistent griefers. With the last major update in May, further measures were introduced, such as offensive and defensive play styles.
What do the players say? In the Reddit post, they commend the shooting skills of prangonpaul. He replies that it was an immense satisfaction to take out the two villains in this manner.
The post also discusses that while there are now fewer griefers due to Rockstar’s efforts, they haven’t disappeared completely. The system with offensive or defensive play styles still has its weaknesses.
Defensive players cannot be lassoed and take less damage; however, a headshot is still deadly. Additionally, the penalties for attacking defensive players do not deter some players from griefing.
