The new patch for Battlefield 5 brought a quirky “weapon” to the shooter: a finger gun. The character mimics a gun with their hands and fires it with homemade “Pew Pew” sounds. Players are likely to have a lot of fun with the joke – until it’s time to reload. This animation is likely to turn some stomachs.
What kind of weapon is this? With the new patch for Battlefield 5, a new joke weapon was introduced. The “handgun,” a finger gun.
The character “picks up” the weapon and forms their empty hands into a gun. When the gun is fired, your player makes homemade sounds, “Kapow” and “Pew Pew,” accompanied by comic-like pop-ups.
According to YouTuber DANNYonPC, who made a video about the latest joke, the finger gun even does 10 damage.
The hand pistol is fun until it has fired all its “bullets.” Then it needs to be reloaded.
How does it reload? The animation for reloading the finger gun is likely to turn some players’ stomachs. Your character bends their index finger back with a crack, then dislocates their thumb, which is supposedly meant to symbolize cocking the hammer.
After that, the player cheerfully continues to shoot enemies with the finger gun.
Where can you find the weapon? How exactly the weapon can be found seems not to be quite clear yet. According to DANNYonPC, the finger gun is said to be rare, as he had to switch servers about 20 times to find it.
The video shows a small box with a green light, on which a shovel spins in a certain direction. The YouTuber follows the direction until he finds a spot to dig. There, a crate is hidden containing the finger gun.
Once you have the hand pistol, you can still switch between different weapons. However, if you die, you lose the “weapon.”
Recently, a new secret was found in Battlefield 5 that lets players build stairs:
What is the Colorist? The new class is a specialization. The Colorists are the students of Irunin, who taught them to use the ether colors. However, when Iruin disappeared, the Colorists were left behind. It was only after many of them sacrificed themselves on the Day of the Storm to save innocents that they were recognized by society.
It is possible to quickly change your position by teleporting
More information will be released by the developers soon.
What can you expect in the region Dumaha? Dumaha, which was once devastated by the Balaur ruler Tiamat, is now to be re-explored to create a flourishing region. However, the Snuwa have something against this, and now you, the Daeva, must mediate.
Dumaha has been a topic in AION before, but now you can fully explore the area and face the challenges.
What does the Stella Development Laboratory offer? In the Stella Development Laboratory, the Stella Corporation manufactures and processes its products. However, bandits have overrun the laboratory. Now you must go there and eliminate the chaos in this instance.
What is special about the update? It is primarily the new class that defines AION 7.0.
The community is excited

What does the community think of the update? Many are looking forward to it, especially the new class that could provide more variety. Additionally, the lore of the Colorists is very interesting, and many are curious to see how it fits into the story of the MMORPG.
Many are fascinated by the concept of the new class, and the community is eager to see how it plays and impacts the balancing.
Furthermore, players are excited that the story surrounding Dumaha and the Snuwa continues.
When is AION 7.0 coming out? The update is scheduled for July 10.
In the MMORPG Black Desert, a large event took place where guilds could earn many billions of silver. However, an error in the localization caused the rewards to shrink by 90%.
What happened? From May 29 to June 12, the Operation Guild Support was running, where guilds were to complete guild missions together to earn additional rewards.
To do this, fortresses and a galleon had to be built, which took considerable time and resources. However, the reward mentioned in the blog post attracted many players:
It was promised that there would be 3 billion silver for the construction of the fortress and participation in the Node War
and as much as 7 billion for building a fortress and participating in the Conquest War.
But a small error crept into the translations.
One digit too much costs guilds billions in silver
Where is the error? According to Kakao Games, only 300 million or 700 million silver were planned as rewards. In the localization for the West, it seems that an additional 0 was added.
The error was only noticed after the event when the rewards were to be distributed.
What is the compensation? To ensure that players are not completely disappointed, Kakao Games decided to distribute a Golden Bell to participants of the Node Wars and 2 Bells to participants of the Conquest Wars.
Bells increase the experience points gained across the entire server for one hour. They cannot be sold.
How are the players reacting? In the official forum and on Reddit, players are currently expressing their frustration over the error and also the compensation.
The player Mily calls the action ridiculous and wonders why he risked his guild to then receive a bell as compensation for a developer’s error. Other players agree with him.
The short duration of the event during which the tasks could be completed seems to have caused stress for many guilds. Some guilds even spent double the amount of silver to achieve the goals compared to what they will now receive as a reward.
The bell is considered worthless in the eyes of many players and is not seen as compensation for the time spent and the billions of silver they would have otherwise received.
What negative headlines have appeared recently? Black Desert has also made negative headlines in other areas over the past few months. In Russia, all account data was deleted during a publisher change.
We have selected 4 RPG hits from the past months and years that you should not miss – as they are currently drastically reduced in price.
The Steam Summer Sale 2019 is back with many stylish offers. Fans of all possible genres will be happy, including friends of a good RPG. This year many games are once again reduced, so it’s hard to know which RPG to start with. We have made a small selection for you and recommend four games that RPG fans should not miss.
A Plague Tale: Innocence
The fight against a mysterious plague and eerie hordes of rats was a surprise hit of the past months. Those who haven’t had the chance to take a closer look at A Plague Tale: Innocence can use the Summer Sale as a perfect excuse.
What is A Plague Tale: Innocence about? The game is set in 1349 France. Due to the outbreak of a strange disease and unnaturally large swarms of rats, the young Amicia is forced to flee with her younger and sickly brother Hugo. Not only must they escape the deadly rats, but they also need to outwit the Inquisition’s pursuers, as they have a special interest in Hugo.
Who is A Plague Tale: Innocence suitable for? Anyone who enjoys a dense storyline with relatable characters and prefers stealth action will find happiness in this plague story. The AI of human opponents is relatively simple, yet the game is never too easy, and sudden threats ensure lasting tension. However, the greatest appeal comes from the characters and their personalities, which players can wonderfully identify with and empathize with.

How much does A Plague Tale: Innocence cost? The game is still quite new, having only been released in May 2019. Therefore, the price is currently “only” reduced by 25% and stands at €33.74. If you want to experience a dark, brutal, and yet heartwarming story, you should grab it. Link to A Plague Tale: Innocence on Steam.
Divinity: Original Sin 2
Good, classic RPGs have become rare. So it’s no surprise that a longstanding hit like the Divinity series is still very popular. Especially Original Sin 2 offers classic RPG fans plenty of what they love.
What is Divinity: Original Sin 2 about? Divinity is set in the medieval fantasy world of Rivellon and is plagued by many typical and atypical problems that heroes must solve. Many core concepts of the game resemble a classic pen-and-paper adventure. Quests can be completed in a variety of ways, many NPCs can simply be killed, and more than 200 different abilities must be found, mastered, and combined.
Especially cool: Almost every decision in the game has consequences. Even the choice of character affects how NPCs interact with you – after all, most people are not very inclined to talk to an undead.
Who is Divinity: Original Sin 2 suitable for? Anyone who enjoys pen-and-paper RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, or DSA will feel at home in Divinity. The fights are conducted like in these pen-and-paper games. Tactics and planning are important since issues like limited visibility or “friendly fire” from a powerful fireball can quickly end a fight – or at least provide long laughs in co-op mode.

How much does Divinity: Original Sin 2 cost? The “Definitive Edition” of Divinity: Original Sin 2 is currently 40% off and costs €26.99. If you want to buy the game and all its predecessors, you can also opt for the “Eternal Edition,” which, however, costs a hefty €53.99. Link to Divinity: Original Sin 2 on Steam.
Vampyr
Vampyr is an action RPG by DONTNOD Entertainment, best known for their dramatic title “Life is Strange.” Vampyr, on the other hand, is significantly darker, more brutal, and more action-oriented, without neglecting exciting characters.
What is Vampyr about? Vampyr is set in London in 1918. You are Dr. Jonathan Reid and have just been turned into a vampire. You must not only ensure that you constantly get enough food in the form of human sacrifices, but also try to heal the city from a rampant disease to help the people survive. These are two goals that do not always align…
Who is Vampyr suitable for? If you enjoy sharp action RPGs with a creepy atmosphere, you will feel at home in Vampyr. The characters are particularly interesting and complex, which should draw RPG fans into the world.
Thanks to four different endings, Vampyr also has solid replay value after the first run. After all, your choices contribute to how the ending plays out.
However, Vampyr has a sometimes quite tough difficulty level with varying strengths of enemies. If this intimidates you, you should reconsider the purchase.
How much does Vampyr cost? Currently, Vampyr is a whopping 60% off and costs €19.99. A fair price for an interesting game with a dense atmosphere. Link to Vampyr on Steam.
Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey
Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey lets players once again step into the role of an assassin.
What is Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey about? Odyssey places the player in ancient Greece, a time filled with conflicts. As usual, the main character is projected into this time period through the “Animus.” There are vast areas in Greece to explore, not only in cities but also at sea – since naval battles have also become an important part of Assassin’s Creed.
Who is Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey suitable for? For fans of the Assassin’s Creed series, Odyssey is likely a blind buy. But even those who haven’t been able to get into the series should take a risk. Odyssey has more RPG elements than its predecessors and feels “bigger and better” in almost every regard. There is greater freedom of choice and even a dialogue system, making it feel more like an RPG than a linear narrative. Of course, the exciting fights with plenty of blood and violence continue to be in the foreground – and they are cool in presentation.
Also exciting: Odyssey has several different endings, allowing choices made to lead to consequences and making replaying more interesting.

The ranking in Season 17 of Diablo 3: What has changed since the start of the season? Will there be any changes towards the end? Let’s take a look.
Why are the rankings changing? At the start of Season 17, classes that can quickly assemble strong sets benefited the most. This could be with the help of Haedrig’s Gift of Season 17. Partly, this is also due to the fact that sets can become very strong with just a few pieces of armor or weapons.
Now that Season 17 has been running for more than a month, more players have been able to fight their way to the top. There has been more time to farm gear. Some could only start playing the build they wanted after a few weeks.
The current leaderboards in Season 17 of Diablo 3? This data comes from the official seasonal rankings of Diablo 3 (Normal, not Hardcore). As of: June 27, 5:30 PM. This concerns the required time and the achieved level in the Greater Nephalem Rift.
Solo:
Level 136: Necromancer – 14,031 minutes
Level 135: Wizard – 14,561 minutes
Level 130: Witch Doctor – 14,489 minutes
Level 129: Demon Hunter – 14,221 minutes
Level 127: Crusader – 14,385 minutes
Level 125: Monk – 14,363 minutes
Level 123: Barbarian – 13,439 minutes
These are the best times of the solo players in the Greater Nephalem Rift: As of June 27, 5:30 PM
These are the best times of the quad players in the Greater Nephalem Rift: As of June 27, 5:30 PM
How did the ranking look before? About a month ago, on May 20, the solo ranking was still led by the Wizard at level 122, while the Necromancer was in second place at level 116.
Source: Battle.net – Fan Art
At that time, in the duo, Monk and Wizard made a good team, which has now been replaced.
In the trio, at the end of May, Wizard, Demon Hunter, and Monk ruled the trio ranking.
In the quad, Barbarian, Monk, Necromancer, and Wizard were already in first place at the end of May.
Here you can see the ranking shortly after the start of Season 17:
It shows that the ranking in Season 17 is dynamic. Currently, places 1 and 2 in the solo ranking are very close to each other. Therefore, a lot should change in the coming weeks.
On July 2, the crimes in the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, PS4, Xbox One) are in focus. An event surrounding the Dark Brotherhood and the Thieves Guild begins.
What has been announced? The event surrounding the celebrations of the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood allows you to live out your dark side in the MMORPG ESO. It’s all about crimes, murders, and treacherous attacks.
Because if you commit crimes during the event period, special rewards await you.
Rob and assassinate for rewards
An event surrounding crimes has started in The Elder Scrolls Online.
When does the event take place? It starts on July 2 at 4 PM and ends on Monday, July 15, at 4 PM.
What rewards are there? These rewards await you:
Double rewards are available for powerful enemies, bosses in dungeons, completing daily quests in dungeons, as well as for powerful enemies on the Gold Coast
You will receive twice as many desecrated whiskers in the Depths of Lorkhaj
Plunder and sacraments bring you additional rewards
You will get double the items from resource nodes
What is special about the event? This event gives you the chance to earn Event Tickets. You will also receive the berries needed for the new Indrik transformation: the Onyx Indrik.
How do you get the tickets? You need to complete these tasks in the game to earn a ticket:
You receive one Event Ticket for the first sacrament you complete that day. You must complete the quest “A Lesson in Silence” and reach rank 2 with the Dark Brotherhood
You get another Event Ticket for the first plunder you master that day. You complete the quest “The Long Game” and reach rank 3 with the Thieves Guild
You can only earn these two tickets per day and per account. The maximum is 28 tickets.
With ten collected Event Tickets, you visit Impresaria in Daggerfall in Glenumbra, in Davon’s Watch in Stonefalls, or in Vulkhel Guard in Auridon and exchange them for an Indrik Feather or the new Onyx Blossoms needed for the Onyx Indrik mount.
Players wish for other events
You can earn Event Tickets for the Onyx Indrik during the event.
What else is interesting? During the event period, you can get the DLCs Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood for 800 crowns in the Crown Store. If you don’t own these expansions yet, you can take advantage of the lower price now.
You will also find new costumes and more in the Crown Store that revolve around the event.
What do players think of the event? The community is somewhat divided. On one hand, fans are excited about the event, but on the other hand, it has a bit of a sour taste, as can be read on Reddit. Because, on the one hand, this event already took place a few months ago, and on the other hand, you can basically only play it if you have the corresponding DLCs.
Bandai Namco has announced a new MMORPG called Blue Protocol, which looks like an anime in the first screenshot and offers an interesting feature.
What is coming? Bandai Namco unexpectedly announced a new MMORPG. Not much is known yet, but it features anime graphics and is called Blue Protocol.
Blue Protocol is a new MMORPG for PC.
Time Travel in the Anime MMORPG
What is the game about? The description states that the world is on the brink. You must join forces with other players to avert the threat and defeat the enemies.
So far, everything sounds a bit standard. But the description reveals something else.
What is special about it? The game description mentions that you will travel through space and time to change the future.
This means that time travel seems to play a central role in the MMORPG. This could lead to interesting mechanics.
Will you perhaps return to places you changed in the past?
Maybe you will travel back in time to defeat a boss before it becomes too powerful.
Is it a Mobile Game? No. Even though many MMORPGs have been announced for smartphones recently, Blue Protocol is an online role-playing game for PC. It is not yet known whether it will be released for consoles.
The MMORPG Peria Chronicles also uses an anime graphic style.
Action Combat in Cartoon Style
What does the graphics look like? According to the first screenshot, Blue Protocol features anime graphics similar to the MMORPG Peria Chronicles. It uses the Unreal Engine 4. The MMORPG is said to feel like a playable cartoon.

What other information is there? The MMORPG is being developed by Project Sky Blue together with team members from Bandai Namco Online and Bandai Namco Studios.
Currently, there is no more information available. It is also not yet known when the game will be released.

In Fortnite , the well-known Twitch streamer Ali “Myth” Kabbani published a video where he lies in a bathtub full of dollar bills and asks fans to continue supporting him vigorously. An ironic take on the relationship between “fan and streamer.”
Here’s the video: It is a 19-second Twitter message titled “Just a Reminder.”
In the video, Myth says that people should use their free Twitch Prime Sub to support a streamer. After all, they get one for free every month and he asks them to please, please use it.
In another image, Myth is seen again in the money-filled bathtub with the note “Use Code Myth.”

The “subs” on Twitch provide a streamer with monthly income. Each subscription is worth between $2.50 and $3 for a streamer. The most successful streamers have about 50,000 subs, which equates to $150,000 per month.
The most successful German Fortnite streamer MontanaBlack urges his fans to use the Creator Code.
How is it received? Directly on Twitter, this is received well by people. They refer to it as “flexing” – Myth is showing off.
This behavior is quite “normal” in US culture, especially among rappers and athletes.
In Germany, such behavior would hardly be imaginable. German celebrities living abroad talk about the “German culture of envy” when they return here.
But it is not that simple in the USA either: Twitch streamer Ninja once complained that he cannot show his success like rappers or athletes. It is perceived as bragging.
Ninja struggles with the fact that people no longer want to support him because he “already has it made.”
Who is Myth? Myth’s real name is Ali Kabbani and he is a player for Team SoloMid.
In the early days of Fortnite, in early 2018, he was considered one of the best players in the world because of his innovative building. At that time, it was thought that Myth would dominate the Fortnite eSport once it got going.
During that time, Myth built a large Twitch channel. Currently, Myth ranks 4th among Twitch channels worldwide with 5,154,367 followers.
The first closed beta of the Asia MMORPG Astellia is currently running, and some players are a bit confused due to gender lock and various items. The developers have commented on these circumstances.
What confuses the players? In the current version of Astellia, each class has a predetermined gender. As a warrior, you are always male, and as a mage, you are always female. This confuses some players, as the removal of the gender lock was promised.
Furthermore, some players have achieved high levels and corresponding successes. In doing so, they find cosmetic items that sometimes offer better attributes than the actual equipment. Players are now concerned that cosmetic items from the shop will also get attributes.
Astellia has many legacy issues from Korea
What do the developers say about gender lock? The developers have already made a statement about the genders of the classes before the beta. Warriors and assassins are expected to be adjusted before the game’s release and can also be played with female characters.
However, these adjustments are not yet available in the beta. This is also due to the high effort required to adjust all animations and equipment. Therefore, the other three classes will also receive their second gender only after the release.
However, some items have slipped through in the beta, such as Shellac Type B, which could be earned through achievements. In a patch, this and other items have already been adjusted.
What is the purpose of the first beta?The first closed beta of Astellia is primarily to stress the servers and gather feedback from the western community.
From the beginning, it was not planned for the beta to be early access to the game. Currently, there are only American servers and English is the only language available in the game.
The real-money shop will come with the second beta
What is planned for the second beta? In the post about the items from achievements, the developers also hinted at what the focus of the second beta test will be.
Currently, the game’s item shop is not available yet. This is supposed to change with the second beta. According to their statement, the test will “focus heavily on the cash shop”.
How long does the first beta last and when will the second one come? The first beta test is still running until Monday, July 1st, at 5:00 PM. When the next test is scheduled has not yet been communicated.
We have already collected initial feedback on the beta, and a summary of our experience will follow.
In Pokémon GO there is the 1st teaser for the 5th generation. Players are now excited about it, but is an early release feasible?
What was that teaser? Pokémon GO is celebrating its 3rd birthday with a big event and also released an image. You can see the 3 starters of the 5th generation on it.
It is the first time that Pokémon from the 5th generation are seen in such an image. It shows that Pokémon GO is planning with this generation and that it is not too far away.
These 3 Pokémon from the 5th generation are shown
5th Generation in Pokémon GO – Could it be coming soon?
What does this teaser mean? It is just a teaser for now. Niantic did not address the Pokémon at all, but rather hid the monsters in a large chaotic image.
It is a first hint, but there are no further details. Even in the latest update data miners have not found any clues. The release will definitely take some time.
Would the generation fit already? Purely from the Pokémon perspective, we are almost done with the 4th generation. Only Pantimimi and Rotom are missing as non-legendary Pokémon from this generation. Additionally, some legendary and mythical Pokémon will come over time.
If Niantic sticks to this pattern, then we should not expect the 5th generation until after summer. This would also fit, as the 4th gen will then have been in the game for at least a year.
What do players say about it? The first images of Serpifeu, Floink, and Ottaro are causing great excitement among players. The Pokémon are even more popular than the new event that was announced.
On Reddit , a matching thread has already garnered almost 5000 upvotes in just 12 hours. The thread about the upcoming event has only 600 upvotes.
What else was shown in the image? If all Pokémon in this image are to play a role in Pokémon GO again, then especially Mew and Mewtwo are likely to be of interest. These two Pokémon can also be seen in the image.
Additionally, Jirachi is shown. This could be behind the special research that starts with the event tonight, June 28.
The clues surrounding Team Rocket are also intensifying, as a member of the villains is hiding behind a tree on the far right in the image.
The Raikou Day in Pokémon GO starts on Saturday. Here you have all the info:
Which legends will belong to the FIFA 20 Icons in the upcoming game? The answer to this question is still completely open – there are plenty of wishes for this.
Update: You can find all icons with all ratings in FUT 20 here:
These are icons: The icon cards are among the best items in Ultimate Team. Football legends receive new cards reflecting their performances from past days. Stars like Ronaldinho, Ronaldo or Thierry Henry become playable again.
Steven Gerrard is one of the FIFA 19 legends – who will follow in FIFA 20?
The special thing: Besides extremely high values, the icons are characterized by a neutral club affiliation and thus good chemistry values. This means they can be integrated into any Ultimate Team without chemistry loss.
Although there are already a lot of icons, the wishlist is still long. Which legends belong to the innovations in FIFA 20? We have looked on YouTube, Reddit, and at a fan voting and compiled some suggestions.
These players are wished by fans as FIFA 20 icons
1. Zinedine Zidane
That’s why Zidane deserves an icon card: Zidane is currently at the top of the fan voting. This is not surprising: The Frenchman is considered one of the most elegant football players of all time. Zidane combined skillful solo runs with the great overview of a perfect playmaker during his active time.
In FIFA 18, Zidane was still available as a manager object. Will he perhaps be back on the pitch in FIFA 20? Source: wefut
Only the historical headbutt in the World Cup final 2006 against Italy stands as a dark spot on the career of the current Real Madrid coach. The second point would be that Zidane is not yet featured as a FIFA icon. It’s high time that this changes.
2. Oliver Kahn
That’s why Oliver Kahn deserves an icon card: It seems almost strange that the “Titan” has not yet been playable as a legend in FIFA 19. After all, the goalkeeper has long been part of icon wishlists.
It’s really time that the Bayern legend follows the already playable Jens Lehmann. An Oliver Kahn would probably fit well into any Ultimate Team. The goalkeeper’s unparalleled presence and over 600 games in Bayern’s dress speak volumes. However, it is uncertain whether Kahn will ever appear as an icon in FIFA: In the early 2000s, the keeper and EA Sports were involved in a legal dispute over the goalkeeper’s personality rights. It is possible that the bond in this regard is – unfortunately – severed.
That’s why Beckham deserves an icon card: David Beckham’s star rose during his youth at Manchester United and it didn’t take long for the Englishman to attract attention. Beckham was celebrated in England for his achievements before he moved to Real Madrid. Later, he had stints in Los Angeles, Milan, and Paris – by this time, Beckham had long become an absolute megastar.
This was Beckham’s best card in FIFA 12. An icon card reflecting past days would likely be significantly stronger. Source: Futhead
Beckham’s unparalleled free-kick technique has been burned into the minds of football fans to this day. An icon card for Ultimate Team would especially stand out here. Perhaps FIFA 20 will be the installment in which Beckham is finally playable again in FUT ? In the fan voting, he currently ranks third, so there is interest.
4. Didier Drogba
That’s why Drogba deserves an icon card: When asking about the club legends of Chelsea FC, the name Didier Drogba often comes up right after Frank Lampard. The Ivory Coast striker significantly shaped the attacking play of the “Blues” and played a major role in the success of Londoners with his goal in the Champions League final 2012 against Bayern.
His best FUT card was in FIFA 10. His icon card is likely to be similarly strong. Source: FUTWIZ
In November 2018, the striker ended his career – thus opening the way for an icon card in FIFA 20. And it would hardly surprise anyone if this goal machine immediately became a favorite among FIFA players.
5. Philipp Lahm
That’s why Lahm deserves an icon card: The former Bayern defender ranks very high on the icon wishlist for defense. Philipp Lahm was known as one of the most reliable right-backs in the world – some even regarded him as the best ever. He was also among the favorites in FIFA in his position.
Lahm received an incredibly strong end-of-an-era card at the end of his career in FIFA 17. A model for the icon card? Source: Futhead
Lahm was known for his deep understanding of the game and versatility in defense and attack. He experienced a dream career: Lahm won countless titles with FC Bayern and crowned himself World Champion in 2014. Only the icon card is still missing – FIFA 20 could be the time.
6. Kaká
That’s why Kaká deserves an icon card: If you look at the list of Ballon D’Or winners, meaning the best players of a year, you will see: Between 2008 and 2017, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo exclusively contended for the title. In 2018, it was Luka Modrić – and before that?
Kaká collected strong FIFA cards throughout his career. Source: FUTWIZ
In 2007, it was the Brazilian Kaká who was crowned the world’s best footballer – even before CR7 and Messi, who took second and third place. The playmaker scored goals for AC Milan, set them up, and won the Champions League before moving on to Real Madrid. There it didn’t go quite as smoothly – nevertheless, an icon status is more than deserved. In the fan voting, Kaká currently ranks second behind Zidane.
7. Ali Daei
That’s why Ali Daei deserves an icon card: The name Ali Daei will leave some FIFA players with question marks at first. However, the Iranian ranks fourth in the fan voting. And that’s quite justified.
Because: Ali Daei is currently the record holder for international goals. The striker scored a total of 109 goals in 149 international matches. Thus, the former Bayern and Hertha player stands alone at the top, followed by Cristiano Ronaldo and…
8. Francesco Totti
That’s why Totti deserves an icon card: He was known as the “eternal captain”: Francesco Totti seemed forever inseparable from AS Roma. The club legend made 785 appearances and scored 307 goals for his club without ever transferring. He also became a world champion. After his active career, Totti went into management with the Romans. However, recently the story ended with the separation of both parties.

Regardless, many fans would likely want to send the now 42-year-old forward back onto the virtual pitch. No wonder, after all, Totti gathered absolute top values around the 90 mark at his best. A FIFA comeback would surely find a lot of supporters – of course in the Roma jersey.
9. Ferenc Puskás
That’s why Puskás deserves an icon card: Have you ever typed “Puskas Award” into YouTube? Every football fan should at least check this out, because: The award for the best goal of the year, awarded annually since 2009, is named after Ferenc Puskas. That says a lot.
The numbers do the rest: 84 goals in 85 matches for the Hungarian national team show what a goal machine the Puskás, who passed away in 2006, was. He is still regarded as possibly the best Hungarian football player. The only blemish: The World Cup defeat in the “Miracle of Bern” – against Germany.
10. Franz Beckenbauer
That’s why Franz Beckenbauer deserves an icon card: As a member of the Xbox-exclusive “FIFA Legends”, the “Kaiser” Franz Beckenbauer has already returned to the virtual pitch once. However, the defender is missing among the icons. Will he be playable again?
Beckenbauer’s legend card in FIFA 17 has certainly set the bar high: With an overall score of 93, Beckenbauer was one of the absolute top defenders – just as he was during his active time.

During E3 2019, the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare managed to win its first award. At the Game Critics Awards, the Modern Warfare reboot was awarded for Best Online Multiplayer of the show.
What award is it about? The Game Critics Awards also take place annually during E3. Games are awarded in various categories for making the best impression at arguably the most important game fair in the world.
The upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare also managed to win a significant award – specifically for its multiplayer mode. The multiplayer of Modern Warfare, which will be released on October 25, 2019, was chosen by critics as the best online multiplayer of E3 2019.
What is so special about this award? The curious thing is – apart from some general details, essentially nothing is known about the multiplayer mode of the new Modern Warfare. There has been almost nothing seen of it.
The public has only been presented with two screenshots, which however hardly allow any conclusions about the multiplayer. The multiplayer aspect remains a great mystery for most.

According to reports, the multiplayer mode was demonstrated behind closed doors at the fair to judges of the awards and selected press representatives.
The fact that this game, Modern Warfare 2019, was subsequently awarded the best multiplayer of the games showcased at E3 2019 now gives many fans hope.
What are the Game Critics Awards? New games are traditionally presented or shown live for the first time at E3.

At this annual award event during E3, numerous media and press representatives then choose the most convincing candidates in various categories such as Best Multiplayer, Best Game of the Show, or Best Console Game.
One of the criteria for voting is that a candidate must be playable for at least 5 minutes for the jury to get an impression.
By the way, generally, confidence in the new Modern Warfare seems to be high:
In the new LoL mode “Teamfight Tactics”, the rush on the servers is tremendous. Apparently, Europe loves strategy games: the Scandinavians and Germans are leading the charge. Riot raises the alarm, the rush on the servers leads to long wait times in the queue.
This is what Riot says: Last night, the head of Teamfight Tactics tweeted:
More players want to try the new mode on EU-W than anywhere else in the world. That’s nice, but there are so many people that not all of them can get into matches.

Where is Teamfight Tactics popular? According to search interest on Google (via google-trends), “Teamfight Tactics” is a game that people in cold regions love. The 10 top countries are:
Estonia
Denmark
Lithuania
Sweden
Poland
Norway
Czech Republic
Canada
Germany
and Finland
However, the mode is also not expected to be released in Asia and South America until later. We will see if Asia gets as excited about LoL Auto Chess.
Germans love strategy games
This is what fuels the enthusiasm for Teamfight Tactics: “LoL Auto Chess” is a turn-based strategy game where players must develop and follow a short-term, mid-term, and long-term plan through the clever use of their resources (gold, champions, and items).
The factors champion and items are dependent on chance. Gold is a constant that can be influenced by certain behaviors.
The player sets up their team and develops it between rounds. Once a battle has begun, the player can no longer influence it.
Apparently, many in Germany were looking forward to a return of “turn-based strategy games” – for them, Teamfight Tactics is now something they want to play or at least try.
Additionally, players are familiar with the champions and items from the world of League of Legends, and many are well-acquainted with them.
Is there also criticism? The two most common criticisms of the game are
individual rounds last about half an hour, it’s probably not suitable for “just popping in”
and the element of chance is criticized, especially when one loses, it’s naturally due to their own bad luck and the luck of others
Surprisingly, World of Warcraft has a new mount available. You can acquire the strange dragon in two ways – both cost money.
If you checked the shop of World of Warcraft yesterday, you may have experienced a little surprise. Blizzard has released a new mount, which is now being featured in the shop. It appears together in a bundle if you want to subscribe for 6 months – the Sylverian Dreamer.

What does the Sylverian Dreamer cost? The new mount is available if you currently take out a subscription of at least 6 months in World of Warcraft. This costs 65.94€, which is also the usual price for a 6-month subscription. This way, the mount is basically “free”.
If you want the Sylverian Dreamer just like that, you can also acquire it individually from the shop for a hefty 25€.
By the way:
If you already maintain a 6-month subscription, you will also receive the
dragon within the next few weeks. You just have to be patient for a few more days, it should be ready by July 8 at the latest.
Community discusses the mount wildly: As is now customary, the community has mixed feelings about this mount. Some consider it outrageous that such an impressive mount with a unique appearance is again only available in the shop. Others think it’s perfectly fine, as they maintain a permanent WoW subscription and therefore receive a mount “for free”.
Others see it merely as a “cheap trick” to artificially keep the subscription numbers of World of Warcraft high during the upcoming dry spell of summer.
What do you think of the new mount? Is it worth taking it along with a 6-month subscription? Or would you even buy it directly from the shop?
Sony Pictures Television has announced that they are working on a live-action TV series based on Final Fantasy XIV. The TV series will be produced in collaboration with the company Hivemind.
What kind of series will this be? The announced TV series will take place in the world of Final Fantasy XIV, according to the press release from Sony. The setting will therefore be Eorzea. However, the plot of the series will not follow the story of the MMORPG.
At the center of the series will be the battle between magic and technology, as well as the mission to bring peace to a conflict-ridden land.
There are no more specific details about the story yet, but the series is said to include many classic Final Fantasy elements, such as Chocobos, airships, and the character Cid. The co-president of Sony Pictures Television commented:
Final Fantasy XIV is perfect for both long-time fans of Final Fantasy and newcomers. This series is about encompassing and embodying all the elements that have made the “Final Fantasy” mythos such an infinitely captivating phenomenon.
Chris Parnell
Who is working on the TV series? The series is being produced in collaboration between Sony Productions Television and the company Hivemind. In particular, Hivemind has gained a lot of attention in the gaming world in recent months for their work on the live-action series of The Witcher, which is set to air on Netflix.
The producers include people like Sean Daniel (Mummy films) and Jason F. Brown (remake of Ben Hur).
When will the series be released? No approximate release date for the TV series has been announced yet. However, screenwriter Jake Thornton tweeted that he has been working on the project for 2.5 years, which means that the production of the Final Fantasy series is already quite advanced.
It is also unknown which streaming service will take on the broadcasting. A release on Netflix is possible. Both Square Enix and Hivemind have previously worked with the platform: Square with “Dad of Light” and Hivemind on the live-action series of The Witcher. However, this is not confirmed.
Enthusiasm is limited
What are the initial reactions? On Reddit and social media, the enthusiasm surrounding the announcement of the live-action series is limited. Many fans on the official FFXIV Subreddit have expressed very low expectations for the series:
Especially the appearance of the various races in FFXIV, particularly the Lalafell, has players in the forums very worried. It is hard to imagine how the producers will manage to make them look good.
Miqo’te and Au Ra in live-action. They [the producers] will never figure out how to make both of them not look terrible.
Others reacted to the announcement with humor. User ARX__Arbalest wrote: “Well… the Eighth Calamity has come, friends.” He thus compares the TV series to the elemental calamities that play an important role in the history of FFXIV and cause much suffering.
Why are fans skeptical? Besides the notoriously bad reputation of live-action adaptations of video games, the production company Hivemind and the producers of the upcoming TV series are the main reasons for fans’ skepticism.
In recent months, Hivemind has made headlines with their Witcher series, particularly as fans mocked the poor design of the Nilfgaardian armor.
As for the producers Sean Daniel and Jason Brown, their recent films include the remake of Ben Hur and the reboot of “The Mummy.” Both films received very modest ratings on the rating platform Rotten Tomatoes of 25% and 16%.
Many fans would also prefer an anime that takes place in the FFXIV universe rather than a live-action series, especially after Square Enix recently released two Japanese anime TV spots titled “Choose your life” just before the Early Access of Shadowbringers.

Pokémon GO is celebrating its 3rd birthday and is giving players various new Shinys, a special research task, and additional bonuses. Here is an overview.
What kind of event is this? This event starts tonight, on June 28, at 10 PM German time. Pokémon GO turns 3 years old and is making a big celebration! There will be 8 new Shinys and various bonuses for battling. Additionally, a Hat Pikachu is returning.
Some bonuses from the event will last throughout the summer. So you can look forward to an exciting summer.
What we know about the new special research and the Shinys
What Shinys will be coming? All Alolan Pokémon that do not have a Shiny yet will now get their shiny form. This means there will be 8 new Shinys in the game.
Specifically, the following new Shinys will be available:
Alolan Rattata (only in the wild)
Alolan Sandshrew (only from eggs)
Alolan Geodude (from eggs and in the wild)
Alolan Vulpix (only from eggs)
Alolan Diglett (from eggs and in the wild)
Alolan Meowth (only from eggs)
Alolan Grimer (only from eggs)
Alolan Exeggutor (only in the wild)
What do these Shinys mean? The Alolan Pokémon have previously made the 7 km eggs a bit useless. Now you can hatch them as Shinys, making these eggs interesting again.
What do we know about the new special research? Niantic is keeping quiet about this a bit. However, we already know the following details:
The special research is mainly meant to motivate players who are new or have returned to the game
For all players from level 10
From June 28 to September 2
Some players suspect Jirachi behind the new special research
What do we know about the Pokémon from the special research? Niantic is being very secretive about this. Some players suspect it could be Jirachi. After all, it was first released at the GO Fest in Chicago.
However, it goes against the idea that the GO Fests in Dortmund and Yokohama will also have a special research task. It is hard to imagine that Niantic would globally release Jirachi and then have it again at the GO Fests.
Therefore, some players suspect that it will be a completely different Pokémon that can be caught there. We will find out today at the event start.
This is how friends will be put in the spotlight: The friendship level will be enhanced by Pokémon GO’s birthday. This will make it easier to battle in raids when you play with friends. However, how much the damage will be increased is not known. This applies until September 2.
Additionally, trading Pokémon will be cheaper. Trading will cost a quarter less Stardust until September 2.
Pikachu in a Hat is returning: In line with the birthday, Party Hat Pikachu and Party Hat Pichu are also returning. Both Pokémon will likely be available to catch as Shinys, but this is not yet confirmed.
Party Hat Pikachu was also available in the past as Shiny
You can encounter Pikachu in this hat from June 28 at 10 PM until July 6 at 10 PM during photobombs. It will replace Colorful Bird during this time.
During the same period, Party Hat Pichu will also be available from 7 km eggs. This Pichu was long considered the rarest Shiny in the game. If you get the shiny form here, consider yourself lucky.
On Saturday, there is also the Raikou Day. We’ll show you what you need to know about it:

Current vehicle offers in GTA Online
If you want to spend your hard-earned money right now, perhaps on one of these vehicle offers in GTA Online:
These cash bonuses are currently particularly attractive for players, as Rockstar announced the opening of the casino in GTA Online. They even mentioned details that players can look forward to.
That’s why you should take advantage of the current bonuses: A new DLC in GTA Online always brings a lot of content into the game. This can include vehicles, properties, weapons, clothing, and more. All of this costs GTA Dollars.

There is a way in the Menagerie to loot multiple times in just one run using a trick. However, this popular cheat is soon going to be blocked by Destiny 2.
What is the trick in the Menagerie? With the Cup of Opulence, you can farm for specific gear pieces, such as the new Menagerie-exclusive weapons. Additionally, depending on the upgrade progress of the cup, there are several Powerful loot.
All of this comes from the final boss chest, which you can usually only open after the fight against the final boss. It can take quite a while to reach there. But with the mentioned trick, it is then possible to loot this chest multiple times in just one run.
This makes especially targeted farming of gear and desired rolls with the cup considerably easier. So if you’ve ever wondered why after a Menagerie run, it always feels like at least half the team starts running around wildly – now you have the answer.
When will Bungie fix this exploit? This was not intended, however. As the developers shared in the current “This Week at Bungie” blog, this exploit will soon be history. In a new update scheduled for July 9, this bug will be fixed.
Bungie emphasizes it is a mistake in favor of the players. Therefore, there are no penalties expected if you have actively used the trick. According to the studio, they have not rushed to close this additional loot source. They even jokingly recommend to hurry while this option still exists. After all, in the Season of Opulence, players should be bursting with power and strength, as Bungie puts it.
How does the trick work? It’s not really complicated. Once you have looted the chest after the final boss fight, leave the boss room in the direction from which you entered.
Now, you need to walk far enough until you reach a new area. This will be signaled to you on the left side of the screen by the display of the new area name.
Now turn around and run back to the chest. There, you equip the cup with new runes of your choice and can then open the boss chest again. This process can now be repeated as often as you want until the timer runs out at the end of the activity.
What is the Menagerie?The Menagerie is a new activity from the Season of Opulence, designed for a team of six Guardians, but is not a raid. You need to prove your worth before the Cabal Emperor Calus.
In this context, you fight in previously unexplored areas of the gigantic Leviathan ship in a maze-like network of various rooms and tunnels against waves of monsters and defeat weekly rotating bosses – all in a race against the clock. Along the way, you can loot all sorts of cool loot from the boss chest.
Many players were looking forward to some matches of “Teamfight Tactics” this evening, June 27. However, it has been canceled for now. There are issues with the servers, as Riot reports. Players are directed to “Riot Server Status” – but there is not much information to be found there. The wait times in the queue are extremely long.
Here is the problem: At around 7:20 PM, Riot Games disabled the new LoL mode “Teamfight Tactics.” They say they are investigating a problem.
There had already been difficulties before. The queues were extremely long during the German primetime and kept getting longer.
Those who were already in the queue can play now, but new players cannot join the queue.

By evening, Riot observed an extremely large number of matches in TFT starting.
Riot says: As it became evening in Europe, we noticed an extreme number of games starting, and thus activated the queue throttling.
They expected that it would remain active during prime time.
This was the situation yesterday in the USA: As reported by Dotesports, there were also some issues in the USA yesterday with excessively long wait times. They even reached 90 minutes. For many players, that was just too long.
However, they could at least play – the disabling is new.
