The indie MMORPG Oath achieved success even during its Kickstarter campaign. Now, fans are investing more money to make the online game even more extensive.
What fascinates players about Oath? During the Kickstarter campaign, it became clear how passionately the team wants to develop Oath. The developers are MMORPG fans who simply want to play an online role-playing game again that doesn’t cater to casual gamers and the mainstream.
And exactly that is well received by the players. They hope for a hardcore MMORPG that offers many challenges and in which they can invest a lot of time to master it. Furthermore, the developers promise that despite being free-to-play, there will be no pay-to-win elements.
Another point that MMORPG fans appreciate is that PvE and PvP are separate. Moreover, what has been shown so far looks good, even if the graphics are not final yet.

How are fans supporting the team now? Oath is currently doing so well that funding is continuing through the official website of the game – and it’s going very well.
The sale of these founder packages has ensured that over 105,000 dollars have been raised so far.
What stretch goals has the development team achieved? The additional income has now led to the achievement of some stretch goals:
A weather system is coming to the game
There will be activities on the ocean
A global farming system is being implemented
Continental wars and monarchies will also find their way into the MMORPG
Further stretch goals such as expanded mount skills, a PvE invasion system, and a fourth race could still be reached.
When will Oath be released? The first alpha of the MMORPG is planned for the fourth quarter of 2019. The release is expected to occur at the earliest in 2020.
In The Division 2, there is a curious bug that currently provides you with extra special ammunition. However, not everyone wants to take advantage of this opportunity.
This is about the bug: As resourceful agents have discovered, it is currently possible in The Division 2 to obtain special ammunition through indirect means.
It seems that a bug is responsible for the current situation where ammunition for the individual weapons of the various specializations, like the Gunner, can drop when killing animals.
Previously, killing animals in the game was not rewarded, even though all animals in the game can be hunted. In addition, numerous animal lovers are repeatedly calling for more love for dogs. They want to pet them, feed them, or even take them to the operations base, but not kill them.
Many find it curious and ironic that dogs are now a reliable source of special ammunition – even if it is due to a bug.
How to currently get additional special ammunition: The animals are currently another source of this coveted ammunition. If you kill them, they often drop special ammunition. However, not all animals seem to drop ammunition.
Among others, dogs, eagles, or rats can refill your special ammunition supplies. However, you will get nothing from crows or deer.
If you kill an animal and it doesn’t drop ammunition, it helps to fill a bar, which ultimately leads to a guaranteed special ammunition drop. Normally, this bar, introduced with Title Update 4, only fills up by killing enemies.

When will this bug be fixed? It was already clear that it must be a bug since the last State of the Game. There, the developers mentioned after the release of Title Update 4 that “killing animals now apparently grants special ammunition.” So it’s not a planned feature.
It was probably also intended to fix this problem during the maintenance last Friday. However, that did not happen. This fix was not included in the patch notes, and animal kills still drop special ammunition.
How long this will remain the case is currently unclear. However, you can still get additional special ammunition if your supplies run low and you can bring yourself to do it.
Source: Kotaku
What do the fans say? Fans have mixed feelings about this additional “source” of special ammunition. Some do not want to raise a hand or a weapon against virtual animals, even if it means giving up the coveted and scarce ammunition.
Others take it with humor. Some emphasize that you should save this ammunition well before John Wick pays a visit to the “animal lovers”.
Still others see it as a welcome opportunity to replenish their scarce special ammunition more quickly. Killing virtual animals for that is not a problem. After all, this is explicitly intended by the game, as all representatives of the animal world can be hunted. Now it’s finally rewarded.
Moreover, it should not bother an agent, some of whom already have more than 1,000 people on their conscience, to shoot an animal in times of need.
What do you think of this bug? Will you try your hand at hunting to stock up on your special ammunition?
The new battle royale mode “Nuclear Winter” in Fallout 76 offers players many special features. Among them are the perks known from the game. However, a specific combination of perks is causing quite a bit of annoyance.
What does this combination do? The combination of these perks allows players to easily climb tall buildings, jump across rooftops, and deal damage to opponents from above during battles.
With the jump height and the enhanced explosive weapons with increased blast radius on grenades, grenade launchers become killing machines. Players with these perks and this weapon are nearly unstoppable.
Some frustrated players report that it is nearly impossible to hit the hopping frogs, especially while being bombarded with grenades themselves.
What is the problem with these perks? In itself, it wouldn’t be a problem that this combination is so strong. However, not every player always has access to the corresponding perks:
Perks are found in packs when leveling up
Packs are available at every level up to level 13, then less frequently. From level 20, only every four levels
Perks can be duplicated. It is possible not to receive the perks even up to level 100
Other players can receive the perks directly with their first level-ups, but need 9 agility for “Frog Legs”
This leads to some players being able to dominate others without them having the opportunity to defend themselves.
This is what the community says about it: There are increasingly threads on reddit where players complain. Since Nuclear Winter is currently in the permanently playable pre-beta phase, some fans have already suggested changes such as increased action point consumption or limited charges.
A Community Manager from Bethesda has also responded and said that the criticism has been forwarded to the developers. When Nuclear Winter will be fully released is still uncertain.

In Fortnite , players Cloak and Tfue are considered one of the best duos in the world. However, while Twitch star Tfue wants to leave the clan but is not allowed to, FaZe is now letting his partner Cloak go. This is because Tfue is participating in the Fortnite World Cup, but Cloak is not.
What Cloak says: The Twitch streamer and Fortnite player Dennis “Cloak” Lepore says he has wanted to leave his contract with FaZe for 6 months. Because he was in the same “shitty contract” as when he signed. Cloak has been with FaZe since March 2018.
But apparently he got neither permission to leave FaZe nor was offered a new contract for 6 months.
Only when it was clear that he would not qualify for the Fortnite World Cup, did FaZe issue a statement saying they would let Cloak go. However, without coordinating that with him first.
It was said that an agreement had been reached to let him go.
Cloak complains in the Twitch stream that they did not discuss this with him, even though he had wanted to leave for so long.
Even former FaZe players like “Thomas 72hrs” had problems leaving. For “72hrs”, the departure was delayed for two months until a replacement for the Fortnite team was found.

FaZe will not pursue a transfer on our own, and allow Cloak to represent himself moving forward. We will retain his player rights should he wish to be moved elsewhere at a later date.#FaZeUp
RAW is a new MMORPG where you live in a fictional state and want to earn your living. Like as a store owner. The gameplay is somewhat reminiscent of GTA.However, those who want to support the project should proceed with caution.
What is RAW? RAW is inspired by Rust and GTA Online and aims to provide you with a simulated world where you can let loose while trying to make a living.
https://youtu.be/vSo8Oz_WPQE
GTA as MMORPG?
What RAW offers: One could call RAW a kind of modern Second Life, with realism taking top priority:
You start as a newcomer in a fictional area of 400 km²
You want to earn a living and make something of yourself
Together with other players, you build a city that also needs to be managed
Basically, you take care of everything
You buy land to build buildings on
If the residents of the city need gas for their cars, then a player has to run a gas station
Others sell cars
Some players need to deal with city planning
The population needs to be supplied with food. So some players should run supermarkets
Police will be needed in the city
Up to 200 players are active per server
You decide in the game how you earn your living and how you live your virtual life.
When is RAW coming? An early access version could launch by the end of the year. However, the developers state that they will only release RAW when the game is ready.
https://youtu.be/QaVw6OVluwc
Skepticism is advised
How is the MMORPG funded? Currently, there is a Kickstarter campaign taking place, through which the German development team Killerwhale Games hopes to raise 70,000 Euros by July 17. It also looks quite likely that the goal will be met.
That’s why you should be cautious: As interesting as RAW sounds, the community currently shows quite a bit of skepticism towards the project for several reasons:
In the game’s videos, it is apparent that assets from Turbosquid are being used. However, Turbosquid prohibits using assets in virtual worlds like Second Life
There is no legal notice to be found on the game’s website – according to German law, this is mandatory
Killerwhale Games is not registered as a company, but it should be, as income from a Kickstarter campaign must be taxed
The question arises whether a small indie team can handle such a project – especially with 70,000 Euros
On Reddit, caution is therefore advised. Let’s see how the situation around RAW develops.
In the meantime, another ambitious MMORPG has been announced:
The new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is already successful and generates the most pre-orders at the retail chain GameStop. However, few know exactly what it looks like. That will soon change, as Infinity Ward announces they will show gameplay.
This is the announcement: The retail chain GameSpot may not be as important today in the digital age as it once was. Nevertheless, with 40,000 employees, they are still a big player. After the E3, they published their top 10 list of games that have been pre-ordered:
However, there are no absolute numbers on how many times each title has been pre-ordered. As the shift to digital is in full swing, the numbers should be taken with caution.
But at least CoD: Modern Warfare is number 1.
“Yay, Call of Duty is still relevant!”
This is how the numbers are interpreted: The number 1 position at GameSpot is seen as a sign that Call of Duty is still relevant in 2019.
For years, it has been said that the franchise would die, but year after year it still becomes a hit for Activision Blizzard.
However, this is supposed to change soon; according to an announcement in the forum, we will get gameplay from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare “soon”. People just need to hang in there a little longer.
The banned streamer DrDisrespect will return to the streaming platform Twitch. That much is clear. With a new image, he playfully references his ban. But when exactly can fans expect the return of the “Two Times” after the tragic toilet incident?
Here is the special joke: On the right side of the image, a hallway is visible that apparently leads to the toilet. In front of it hangs a sign that says, “No recording, no photography from this point forward.”
“No recording, no photography from this point forward.” Source: Dexerto
How long will DrDisrespect’s Twitch ban last?
When will DrDisrespect return to Twitch? This is not exactly clear. The streamer himself surely knows, but he has not made it public. Presumably, to play with the fans’ anticipation.
If it had been a “short” penalty, as initially thought, DrDisrespect would have been back a long time ago, so it must be a longer suspension:
The ban was issued on June 12, 2019
the usual ban duration on Twitch is 14 days or 30 days
Accordingly, the return of the doctor would be possible either in the next few days if he received a 14-day ban.
With a month-long ban, he would be back on Twitch from July 12, 2019.
This is how DrDisrespect showed his regret at the end of 2017.
In Fortnite: Battle Royale the event 14 Days of Summer starts today. The tasks and rewards are already set. We show you what you need to do.

With the Maneater update, women are now introduced into the online shooter SCUM. And yes, you can adjust their breast size.
What is SCUM? The online shooter SCUM is still in Early Access and places you as a prisoner on an island. There, you fight for your freedom in a perverse TV show. The conflicts are a matter of life and death. Only those who survive are free.

Why are women coming into the game now? Until now, it was only possible to create a male prisoner. However, since women can also be mean, the fans of the shooter wanted to be able to play as female prisoners. And the team now fulfills this wish for the players.
What about the customization of women? SCUM places great importance on allowing you to create your character as detailed as possible. This is not limited to the face and body type. For example, you can give your prisoner tattoos and you can even adjust the penis size.
Currently, these customizations for women are not as pronounced.
You currently choose only between three faces
Tattoos are not yet possible but will be added later
However, you can individually adjust the breast size of female prisoners using a slider
The developers have stated that there are still some secret customization options that you will have to discover – Apparently, there are uncensored female character models
In the online shooter SCUM, you can now create women as characters.
What else does the update bring? The Maneater update introduces further innovations and adjustments.
The game’s performance has been improved
The shooter now runs more stably
You can now build a rudimentary base and erect defense installations. This feature will be expanded over time
Male characters can now have beards. You decide how your prisoner’s beard should look
The inventory system has been revised
Cars can now be repaired
A new mission system is making its way into the game, starting with tutorial missions
There are safe zones with discos
A lot of bug fixes
You can now also give your male characters beards in SCUM.
A Good Update
What does the community think of the Maneater update? Players find the Maneater update quite good so far. In particular, it is well received that the women do not look overly sexy like in other online games. They are simply female prisoners and do not have to be beautiful. This increases the realism.
How is SCUM doing currently? On Steam, the shooter currently has a rating of 55%. This is due to some balancing issues and, according to some fans, the developers not doing enough against griefers. There are high-level players who want to ruin the fun for others by hunting them.
However, according to Steamcharts, player numbers are steadily increasing and peak numbers in the last 30 days have been at 7,263 players.
Pokémon GO has released the map for the Dortmund GO Fest. It shows the habitats and team lounges. Many fans are disappointed so far.
What can be seen? On Twitter , Niantic shared an image of the map. The following items are marked:
The 4 habitats of the GO Fest
3 team lounges
4 information stands
Sights of Westfalenpark
The Niantic garden
Niantic wants to provide a look at the information stands that you can use. This is not yet a final map that you will be handed during the GO Fest.
This is what the map looks like that Niantic shared
This is how the map is received by the players
What do the fans say about it? Many players are disappointed with the map so far. Comparing the map with the GO Fest in Chicago, there seemed to be much more there.
In Chicago, for example, there were 5 habitats. In Dortmund, only 4 have been confirmed so far. Additionally, the park in Chicago was significantly smaller than Westfalenpark, yet there was more to see and the paths between the areas were not too large.
On Twitter, the reactions from the players are therefore rather negative. “abyssinier” writes in response to Niantic’s post: “Compared to the map from Chicago, this looks disappointing. I know it’s the first GO Fest in Germany, but a little more effort could have been made.”
Can anything change on the map? This map is not final yet. More details are likely to come. Whether more habitats will be added remains to be seen. If there are only 4 habitats, then we can look forward to the following Pokémon types:
Rogues and Priests must say goodbye to 2 cards in Hearthstone . But don’t worry – there are plenty of replacements!
In
recent months, Blizzard has been more open regarding
class balancing and small changes within an
expansion cycle of Hearthstone. These changes will
also be maintained. Blizzard has now revealed that Hearthstone will ban two
more cards from the “Classic” set. But don’t worry – a total of 10 cards will find their way into the game.
These two cards will be removed: Two cards are moving to the “Hall of Fame” and will not be playable in the ranked mode anymore. This includes the spell “Vanish” from the rogue as well as the Mind Spike from the priest.
The reasoning is that both spells do not truly fit the class identity of their respective class and would restrict the design of new cards. To prevent this, the cards will be moved to the Hall of Fame.
These two cards have replacements: To ensure that the number of available cards for priests and rogues does not decrease, there are two cards as compensation.
Priests
receive the spell Radiance, which restores a total of 5
health points to their hero for 1 mana.
Rogues
on the other hand receive the minion Plaguebringer. For 4 mana, it has the
stats 3/3 and also makes a friendly minion poisonous.
Eight new cards in Classic packs: But there are even more innovations. A total of 8 new cards will be added to the Classic set. They can then be drawn from classic packs with the next patch or crafted with Arcane Dust.
Warlocks
receive the Siegebreaker. A 5/8 demon for 7 mana with Taunt, which grants all other demons of the player +1 attack.
Druids
receive the spell Gift of the Wild. For 8 mana, the spell grants all allied minions +2/+2 and Taunt. Perfect for strengthening an army
of Treants.
Paladins
receive Righteousness. For 5 mana, the spell grants all of the Paladin’s minions Divine Shield.
A
neutral, legendary minion is Brightwing. This dragon costs 3
mana and has only the stats of 3/2. However, it has an interesting Battlecry, which ensures that you get a random legendary minion into your hand.
Also
neutral and legendary is High Inquisitor Whitemane. She is a
6/8 minion for 7 mana with a powerful Battlecry: She
squo;s resurrects all friendly allies that died this turn.
For
7 mana, the new Barrens Stablehand awaits. It is a 4/4 minion that summons a random beast with its Battlecry.
The
SI:7 Infiltrator is a 5/4 minion for only 4 mana that destroys a random enemy secret with its Battlecry.
Lastly,
the Arcane Devourer. An elemental for 8 mana with base
stats of 5/5. However, it receives +2/+2 each time the player casts a spell.
When is the patch coming? There is still no exact date for the update. The changes are set to go live “with the next major patch”. However, when that will be has not yet been announced.
What do you think about the removal of the two cards? How do you like the new cards?
In Fortnite, the big event “14 Days of Summer” is approaching. It brings you new challenges and weapons that have been removed from the game by Epic. We provide you with an overview.
What weapons could come? Epic has already removed numerous weapons from the game. Now, they are bringing one of these weapons back every day. Which ones exactly are not known.
What LTMs will come? The Limited Time Modes are already known for the event. Epic has published a list of all LTMs on their website and shows you what they bring.
Many LTMs will be focused on the summer. For example, in “Storm Chaser: Wave Rider,” you will ride a huge wave and knock each other off with impulse grenades.
A water battle is also supposed to come. There, you will be able to knock each other off with water balloons.
You will soon be able to have a water battle in an LTM
What is known about the challenges? These tasks will be similar to those in “14 Days of Fortnite” at Christmas. There was a small challenge to complete every day that brought you free items. If you completed all tasks, there was a big reward.
The new Auto Chess, Teamfight Tactics, from the LoL developer Riot Games is here. In this guide, we want to share tips and tricks for the game so you can start successfully right away. A short tier list with the 3 best champs and the best combo can also be found in our guide to Teamfight Tactics.
What is Teamfight Tactics? Teamfight Tactics is the new auto battler from Riot Games. It is set in the League of Legends universe and is based on the Auto Chess principle already known from Dota 2.
The game has been live since Thursday, June 27, and you can start playing now.
This guide is aimed at both beginners who have never played an auto chess game and advanced players. At the end, we will also cover strong champions and endgame combinations.
Note: This guide is based on personal experience, watched livestreams, a video by Maxim, and an article by Invenglobal.
How Auto Battlers Play: The Basics
The course of a game: You compete in several rounds with your champions, as in other “Auto Chess” games, against seven other players.
You can purchase champions for gold, which you receive at the start of each round. After the start, the shopping phase begins, during which you can buy or place figures on the field.
The next step is the combat phase. This proceeds automatically. Therefore, from the start of the phase, you have no influence on the outcome anymore.
The player who loses the duel also loses health points. If a player’s health points fall to 0, they are out of the game. If there is only one player left, then they have won the game.
The game board in Teamfight Tactics
Everything about the Champions in Teamfight Tactics
Each round, five champions are offered to you. At the beginning, these only cost 1 gold, but with a higher level, there are also rarer figures that can cost up to 5 gold each. When you buy them, you set them in the bank. There is space for 9 champions there.
Bringing champions to T2 and T3: Three identical champions can be combined to create a level 2 figure. Three identical level 2 champions again create a level 3 figure.
For 2 gold, you can reroll, and five new figures will be offered to you. This way, you can faster get the same champions to combine them.
Synergies of the champions: Each champion has an origin and a class. If you have multiple different figures of an origin or class on the field, you receive bonus effects.
Multiple gunslingers ensure that with every attack, there is a 50% chance to hit an additional enemy. Multiple nobles, on the other hand, absorb damage.
The experience points: The number of figures you can have on the game board depends on the player’s level. Each round you survive gives one experience point.
Additionally, you can purchase 4 experience points for 4 gold.
Item List in the Game
How to get items in the game: The first three rounds and at the end of each stage, neutral creatures wait for you. These can drop items with some luck that you already know from LoL.
The champions can be equipped with these items. If you possess parts of a stronger item, they combine to create the stronger item.
However, you cannot take items from figures. To redistribute an item, you must first sell the corresponding figure.
During the carousel, you also receive figures that already carry an item.
These items are in the game: In the following table, we show you the basic items from Teamfight Tactics:
B.F. Sword
+20 Attack Damage
Recurve Bow
+20% Attack Speed
Needlessly Large Rod
+20% Spell Damage
Tear of the Goddess
+20 Starting Mana
Chain Vest
+20 Armor
Negatron Cloak
+20 Magic Resistance
Giant’s Belt
+200 Health
Spatula+Spatula
+1 Team Size
These items then develop into better items in various combinations such as Frozen Mallet, Bloodthirster, Locket of the Iron Solari, and many more.
and after the fifth round always five gold as base reward. This number can, however, be increased.
Earn additional gold: You receive 10% interest on your gold reserves. Starting from 10 gold, you get 1 additional gold per round, up to 5 extra gold when you have 50 gold.
Additionally, you get 1 gold for each won round and more gold for consecutive wins and losses.
The right gold management: Gold management is important in Teamfight Tactics. Even if it is tempting, sometimes it is better to save rather than reroll for new figures or level up early.
However, if you are in a dominant position and are earning additional gold from a win streak, it can also be advisable to strengthen your position and invest.
Buying and selling champions: You get the full gold back when you sell a champion from the bank or out of the game. However, this does not apply to upgraded figures.
For these, you only get back the cost of two of the three merged champions, resulting in a slight loss.
Tips and Tricks for Teamfight Tactics
Observe your opponents: In Teamfight Tactics, it’s important to keep an eye on your opponents. What figures are they collecting? What team compositions are being built? Can I possibly counter this?
There is only one pool of champions: By observing opponents, you can also estimate how high the chances are of getting your desired champions. There is a fixed pool of figures. If they are all taken, you cannot upgrade yours anymore.
The higher your level, the higher your chance of obtaining a hero with a high tier level. Image from Esportstales
Be flexible: It can be good to have a solid plan for your endgame. However, unforeseen events can always occur.
Keep your game board flexible and adjust to the figures that are available.
The carousel makes your comeback possible
Riot Games has taken many elements from the original Dota 2 mod in Teamfight Tactics. However, in one aspect, the new game differs greatly.
The special feature “carousel”: The carousel is a special feature that currently only Teamfight Tactics has. Right at the start, you choose the first character by taking a champion from a carousel.
In the first round, the first come, first served principle applies. However, as the game progresses, the carousel returns and becomes the comeback mechanism. Players with low health points get to choose first, followed by those with more.
This allows players who have been lagging behind to grab their desired figure or favorite item and possibly turn the match around. You can also just annoy another player with your choice.
Teamfight Tactics Tier List: These champions are S-Tier
In this section, a concise tier list, we want to introduce you to three heroes who are currently particularly strong. Also due to their synergy with other champions. This can, of course, change in upcoming updates.
Draven: Although Draven has already been weakened, he still deals extreme damage. Together with a second Imperial, there is a chance that he will deal an extra 50% damage. It would be a highlight to collect all four Imperials, but this is usually difficult.
Draven can be collected early in the game and can win even against some level 2 champions on his own. Typical AD items like Infinity Edge or Bloodthirster are recommended to increase damage or have lifesteal.
See a Draven, pick a Draven!
Volibear: Volibear hits multiple targets with his passive ability and belongs to the Glacials by origin. Multiple Glacials ensure that enemies are frozen by attacks. Therefore, Volibear can combination directly control many enemies.
Additionally, characters who carry the Frozen Mallet item also count as Glacial, even if they are not Glacial themselves. This makes it easier to achieve the bonus with six figures of this origin.
For Volibear, items that allow him to endure more or increase his attack speed are recommended. The strongest is the Rapid Firecannon, as it prevents attacks from being avoided. This completely nullifies the effect of the Yordle.
Aurelion Sol: Dragons are immune to magic damage when both are on the field. Therefore, you only need Shyvana, and the damage received by Aurelion Sol is drastically reduced.
In combination with strong items and lifesteal, this dragon can become nearly invincible, which is also criticized in the TFT forum.
These champions work great without synergy
Draven also works well without synergies but is usually significantly stronger with another Imperial. Below, we also want to introduce you to three champions who do not need synergies.
Sejuani: Sejuani has many abilities that stun the opponent. Additionally, she is tanky and fits well into the frontline. She is a Glacial and fits perfectly with Volibear and can then also freeze more opponents.
Kindred: Kindred’s ultimate ability makes champions around them untargetable. This makes her a good addition to Draven or other figures that deal a lot of damage but do not endure much.
Gnar: Gnar is a Shapeshifter and already deals damage and CC in his normal form. However, when he transforms, his damage dealt becomes extremely high.
This is the strongest combo in late game
We have already introduced you to the two characters Volibear and Sejuani, who belong to the Glacials. They also form the strongest combo for late game. Ideally, your team consists of all six:
Anivia
Ashe
Braum
Lissandra
Sejuani
Volibear
Alternatively, a character, popular is Draven, with Frozen Mallet as item can act as the sixth Glacial. Useful additions are Kindred, Cho’Gath, or even Mordekaiser.
The goal should be to load Volibear with items that enhance attack speed and lifesteal. A video by Amaz demonstrates this vividly.
Alternatively, six Nobles with their armor buff and passive healing and three Knights blocking damage are also good for late game.
This is what the gameplay of Teamfight Tactics looks like
So that you also get a direct insight into the gameplay, we have linked you to a video by the German YouTuber Maxim. In this, he impressively shows you the strength of Draven!

A trainer from Pokémon GO recently shared his own success on Reddit: He reached level 35 within 2 months and caught only one type of Pokémon.
What type did the trainer catch? “naonpikachu”, as the trainer is called in the game, apparently likes Pikachu. Looking at his PokéDex, it shows only the entry for Pikachu and Raichu. He does not have any other Pokémon.
Now the player has reached level 35 in Pokémon GO. An impressive level, considering he only took 2 months and caught hardly any Pokémon.
How the trainer still reached level 35
How did the player level up? On Reddit he shares that he leveled up mainly through friendships and raids. He participated in the raids and of course fought there with Pikachu or Raichu, but he did not catch any raid Pokémon.

Looking at the trainer’s medals, it can be seen that he indeed only has 2 Pokémon in his PokéDex and many medals he does not possess yet. The player has caught a total of only 13 Pokémon. Of course, they were all Pikachu.
He has not hatched any eggs yet and has not become best friends with any player. He primarily relies on XP from Hyper Friends. However, he has quite a few of them. In total, he has 114 friends on his list.
This helped him: The Adventure Week in Pokémon GO was also a great advantage for the player. He spun many new PokéStops and received over 4000 XP per stop with a lucky egg.
This is his best medal – Over 6700 PokéStops have been spun. Source: Reddit
Why does he do this? The player has not given a real reason. He has another account that he plays normally. He started this account just 2 months ago.
He chose Pikachu as his Pokémon because it was one of the 4 starters and can appear in various forms through events. This way, he can primarily go on a Pikachu hunt during events.
What’s next? The next goal should be level 40, but that is still a long way off, as at level 35 you are not even halfway to the maximum level, as the last levels famously require the most XP.
Further Pikachu events could help, since this way he can at least catch a few Pokémon.
This trainer was even crazier. He caught only 1 Pokémon and reached level 40:
The Iron Banner in Season 7 of Destiny 2 is the most grind-heavy in a long time. Especially when you are playing without a dedicated team, earning the new armor can become torturous. However, there is a way to shorten the grind a bit. We will show you how.
Where they were previously linked to bounties, which made them available for direct purchase from Lord Saladin upon completion, now you really have to sweat for the new gear.
If you want to dress like an Iron Lord in Season 7, Destiny 2 sends you on a quest – the Power Test. Each of the five steps rewards you with a Powerful reward in the form of a specific armor piece. You receive a complete Iron Banner armor set as part of the quest.
What is it about the long grind in the Iron Banner? The individual steps are often very grind-heavy and can become a real torture, especially for solo players without a fixed team. Many Guardians are particularly annoyed by the last step.
Moreover, there is no other way to obtain the respective armor pieces until you have unlocked them through the quest. Only after that do they randomly drop from Reputation-boosting packages at Lord Saladin and after Iron Banner matches.
Fortunately, clever Guardians have discovered a method to shorten the most annoying and time-consuming step of the entire quest, which many Guardians are likely still struggling with.
How can the armor quest be shortened? Specifically, it concerns the fifth and final step of the new Iron Banner quest series – Eigensinn. There, you need to earn a certain number of points by completing Iron Banner matches. Winning streaks grant more points.
This is how you cut corners in the Iron Banner quest of Season 7: To shorten the fifth step, you need the smallest winning streak, which is two consecutive wins. Only then can you save time.
If you achieve two consecutive wins, you basically do not need to complete any more matches and can progress thanks to a bug.
To do this, exit the Iron Banner after two consecutive wins. Now there are the following methods:
Start the Iron Banner matchmaking. As soon as 1/12 is displayed in the lower right corner, cancel the matchmaking. This will automatically grant you additional progress. Make sure to cancel in time, or else you risk ending up in a match and possibly losing your streak. Repeat this until you have gained enough progress.
Fly to the Tower. Once you select the Towers and begin the flight, and the 3-second timer ends, log out so that you return to the character selection screen. Log back in and fly to the Tower. Once you arrive there, you should have gained additional percentage. Repeat this until you have made enough progress.
Some players report an even simpler method. It may suffice to just fly to different locations in the Destiny 2 world after a winning streak. Some Guardians say this has already contributed to progress. So just fly from planet to planet until you have made enough progress.
If you want to successfully master this step – whether regularly or with a shortcut – you should hurry. Because you only have until the Weekly Reset at 19:00 on June 25 to do so. After that, the quest continues with the next Iron Banner of Season 7. And Bungie may have already fixed the bug that makes this shortcut possible by then.
Why are many annoyed by this step? In itself, this quest step sounds straightforward. The problem is: The Iron Banner is unpredictable without a stable team.
Sometimes, you can stomp the opposing team with a good squad in just a few minutes. Other times you may battle through a challenging game for the entire duration. And sometimes, you are saved by the mercy rule after just a few deaths with bad randoms.
But whether it’s over in a few moments or you’re sweating for 10 minutes – there is 2% progress per match. Only winning streaks bring more. If you’re unlucky, this step can take a whopping 50 Iron Banner matches at worst – all this for each character separately. Because progress does not count account-wide.
Some Guardians jokingly mentioned that you would almost have to take a vacation if you wanted to complete the quest on one character by the end of the one-week PvP event as a solo player with limited playtime.
Do you think Bungie has gone overboard with this step or possibly the entire Iron Banner quest’s grind? Or did you breeze through this task?
Here’s how the player numbers stand: The changes at Bungie and Destiny 2 seem to be reflected in the current player numbers, as they are on the rise. Across all platforms, around one million players are currently playing Destiny 2:
PvE: 960,000 players
Crucible: 482,000 players
Gambit: 272,000 players
Raids: 141,000 players
On social media, like Twitter, active players are celebrating this and inviting more players to join. Even though games like Anthem or The Division 2 were initially said to be “Destiny killers”, it seems that Bungie’s shooter is faring better.

Now it has been confirmed what has been hinted at by rumors beforehand. Blizzard is losing another important employee.
If there are news from Blizzard, they have often been rather negative in the past weeks and months. Mostly, it is about layoffs or the termination of employees. This is also the case now. Another long-time employee, who eSports fans have likely seen several times, is leaving the company. There have been rumors about this for a while.
Who is leaving? With an announcement in the StarCraft II forum, Kim Phan, “Global Product Director” of Blizzard eSports, stated that she had her last working day at Blizzard on June 14.
Kim Phan was especially popular in the StarCraft community.
Who is Kim Phan? Kim Phan worked at Blizzard for over 13 years and was primarily responsible for the eSports area in recent years. She oversaw games like Heroes of the Storm, World of Warcraft, and also the StarCraft franchise. Under her, Blizzard’s eSports team grew massively, increasing from 6 employees to over 60 at its peak.
This is what Kim says as a farewell: At the end, Kim addresses the community and thanks them:
Thank you for making sure that I / we / Blizzard remains true. I hope you never stop doing that. Even in the times when you haven’t heard from us, we have been listening. Even when we made decisions you didn’t agree with, we listened (and learned). Never stop expressing your concerns and spreading what is important to you – that makes us all better.
Who will take over Kim Phan’s role next is not yet known.
In the new Steam hit Dota Underlords, there is a combo that is already feared. A mix of the heroes Arc Warden and Crystal Maiden along with the item “Refresher Orb” causes a nasty attack from the clones and deals massive damage. We will show you how the combo works.
What kind of combo is this? It is a combo in Dota Underlords consisting of
the Tier-3 hero “Arc Warden” (Plasmawächter)
the item “Refresher Orb” (Kugel der Erneuerung)
one or more heroines “Crystal Maiden”, who generates mana for all allied units thanks to an aura.
The goal is for the Arc Warden to summon his Tempest Double (a clone) as quickly as possible.
He is the key to the combo, especially with 3 stars.
Due to certain stacking effects and design decisions, the combination is quite nasty.
Because this combo creates a snowball effect in Dota Underlords. It takes a while for the Arc Warden to gather enough mana to call a clone for the first time. But then it escalates quickly.
The clones summon more clones, and soon the entire battlefield is covered with clones.

What’s nasty about the combo: On the one hand, it’s a shock effect when it hits and is spectacular. Once the Arc Warden gets rolling, the match is almost won for the mage.
What’s really nasty is that every “clone” counts as a hero – therefore, it also counts towards the damage tally at the end. Because every hero of the victor that remains standing deals damage to the opponent.

This can lead to damage figures of 35 or even up to 70 with additional effects. Thus, a seemingly secure victor can still lose clearly and be eliminated in a round.
Because there are no assassins to attack and eliminate the Arc Warden. If he has time to summon his clones, then it gets nasty.
Whoever wants to win against the Arc Warden will likely have to kill him before he has full mana for the first time.
She provides the mana blessing.
Any setup that takes time to really unfold is vulnerable to the Arc Warden combo. On reddit, it is only known as “Arc Warden Refresher”.
In Dota Underlords, it is therefore important to see if any of the opponents are using such a strategy and to respond accordingly.
The item must go on the Arc Warden.
At the moment, this is at least the most spectacular combo in Dota Underlords. If it works, it is really nasty. It is highly possible that Valve will limit it with future patches.
