The football simulation FIFA 16 is now available for download – for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
In recent weeks, the football simulation from EA Sports has made negative headlines: Apparently, a severe glitch has been affecting the “Ultimate Team” mode for years, which influences the chemistry of numerous top cards – meaning that they are sometimes worse than the standard cards.
While this news spread rapidly across the internet, there were always opinions like “These are just rumors, it’s all not official”. However, EA Sports promptly announced investigations which revealed: Yes, there are indeed inconsistencies in the chemistry and fitness values of some items. However, the exact extent was not specified.
Update 1.07 addresses the FUT glitch
As EA Sports now announces, a patch for PS4, Xbox One, and PC is now available to address this problem. This is Update 1.07, which is approximately 400 MB in size depending on the platform.
The update for PS3 and Xbox 360 will follow at a later date.
Furthermore, the community manager Rob states that for FIFA 17, they want to present the mechanics of the “Ultimate Team” mode more transparently. This has been demanded by the community for years. How the values are calculated and, above all, what influence the chemistry actually has remains fundamentally a secret of the developers.
This glitch, which is said to affect all cards not present in the game from the beginning (i.e., all TOTW, TOTS, TOTY, etc.), has been speculated about for years. However, the community was previously unable to prove these allegations in any way. Only in FIFA 16 have some clever users managed to do this.
Recently, we speculated whether the classes Ninja and Kunoichi would already appear in Black Desert this week. Now the date has been revealed.
Originally, these classes were supposed to be released in May in Black Desert. However, the developers were dissatisfied with the balance in Korea and thus postponed their release for us. On July 20, it will finally happen; the Ninja and his female counterpart will be released.
A glance at the calendar is enough to realize that it hasn’t made it for this week. But we can wait a few more days, and then we can finally play the two assassins. They are quite agile melee fighters with classic abilities, such as invisibility, albeit for a short period.
The Kunoichi is more specialized in dealing damage to single targets. She runs to the opponent, uses CC, and takes him down. The Ninja has more mobility and AoE abilities, making him better suited for groups.
To get a rough idea of how much additional experience points this trick brings, let’s first look at how much experience the various actions in Pokémon GO normally provide.
Catching a Pokémon for the first time: 600 XP (Experience Points)
Catching a Pokémon that you have caught before: 100 XP
Nice throw: 10 XP
Great throw: 50 XP
Excellent throw: 100 XP
PokéStops: 50 XP per activation
Gym Battles: No constant value
Evolving a Pokémon for the first time: 1000 XP
Evolving a Pokémon that you have evolved before: 500 XP
To gain as many experience points as possible, you should save your Candy for a long time, so that you can evolve as many Pokémon as possible. Additionally, you should have at least 1 Incense in your inventory and buy a Lucky Egg with your PokéCoins. To understand what you need these items for, check out our 5 Tips for Pokémon Trainers.
Once you have gathered the items, go to a place you haven’t visited or have only rarely visited on your Pokémon adventures. Make sure there are many footprints and gyms there. If you are in a location you haven’t visited or have rarely visited before, then:
The chance of finding Pokémon you haven’t caught yet is higher (600XP!).
Places with many PokéStops and Gyms likely have a higher Pokémon spawn rate, allowing you to catch more monsters.
You can participate in Gym Battles and activate PokéStops while waiting for encounters with wild Pokémon.
More than 50,000 XP in 2 Days
Once you are prepared as mentioned above and have arrived at a well-located spot, the XP hunt can begin. Use the Lucky Egg so you receive double experience points for the next 30 minutes. This makes our XP overview look much more promising:
Catching a Pokémon for the first time: 1200 XP (Experience Points)
Catching a Pokémon that you have caught before: 200 XP
Nice throw: 20 XP
Great throw: 100 XP
Excellent throw: 200 XP
PokéStops: 100 XP per activation
Gym Battles: Variable value x2
Evolving a Pokémon for the first time: 2000 XP
Evolving a Pokémon that you have evolved before: 1000 XP
You earn the most points by catching for the first time and through the evolution of a Pokémon. Therefore, it pays off especially if, as mentioned above, you have many Pokémon ready to evolve. Everything else, like an excellent throw or PokéStops, can be done “on the side” – nonetheless, you receive a lot of experience points this way. If you choose a good location that offers many wild Pokémon and PokéStops, you can collect over 50,000 XP in just 2 days.

Hatching eggs is important in Pokémon GO – But which Pokémon are behind it and are there tricks to speed up the process?
The new Pokémon GO is already captivating many aspiring Pokémon trainers – The game is now available for download in Germany. To give you an idea of what to expect, we explain what the different types of eggs are, how they are hatched, and which Pokémon can eventually hatch from these eggs.
In Pokémon GO, you can not only catch various Pokémon in the wild, but also take the little monsters as eggs into your care and wait for them to hatch. To hatch an egg, you have been provided with an egg incubator at the start of your adventure. Eggs that you can receive at PokéStops can be placed in this machine to start hatching.
You can carry a maximum of 9 of these eggs at the same time. Because not every PokéStop guarantees an egg as a reward, you will need to visit these Stops multiple times to replenish your egg supply. To start hatching, you need to open your Pokémon overview in the game menu and then click on the “Eggs” category. You then select an egg to place in your egg incubator. Now you will see the required number of kilometers you need to walk for the egg to hatch.
To hatch multiple eggs at the same time, you can purchase additional incubators in the in-game shop for 150 PokéCoins – However, these only have 3 charges before they break. Free incubators can be obtained by reaching Level 6, 10, and 15 – These machines also only have 3 charges.
Pokémon GO – Hatch eggs faster
Using tricks such as driving in a car, bus, or train usually doesn’t count to hatch eggs faster in Pokémon GO. You can, as already learned from previous versions of Pokémon, use a bicycle if you prefer not to walk – However, you must also travel slowly (this method does not always work). By the way, here is a trick on how to hatch eggs without moving.

The various Pokémon eggs are categorized based on the required number of kilometers. Some eggs require only 2 kilometers of walking to hatch, others 5 kilometers, and the tough ones even need a full 10 kilometers before they decide to hatch – Such hard work should also be rewarded.
The higher the number of kilometers required, the greater the chance of obtaining a rare Pokémon – However, from a 10 kilometer egg (with some luck) a small Caterpie might hatch, which is actually found in the 2 kilometer eggs. This list is more of an orientation, as it is difficult to visualize the luck factor.

The latest patch from Overwatch is not to Cortyn’s taste at all. Why are there no more double heroes? Why is D.Va immune to her own explosion?
A patch in the wrong direction
I wish you a nice patch day, my… – old WoW habit. Have a pleasant Wednesday. Let’s not beat around the bush, the upcoming changes in Overwatch don’t sit well with me. Specifically, it’s about the upcoming patch – you should read the post first, so you know what I’m about to talk about (See, boss? I can link internally! Ha!). Uh – joking aside. Let’s get straight to my criticisms:
As colorful and vibrant as the characters of Overwatch are, Blizzard has nonetheless stayed true to some principles. One of them is the fact that explosive weapons deal damage to the character itself if the projectiles explode too close to oneself. This applies to Junkrat’s grenade launcher (and his ultimate), Pharah’s rockets (and her ultimate), Zarya’s alternate fire, and also to Bastion in tank mode. The only exception is Junkrat’s mine – but this is so entrenched in his lore and character design that one can understand the “immunity” to it.
Making D.Va immune to her own explosions is utterly ridiculous in my opinion, balance aside. Especially as it ruins a massive fun factor in the game. Because what was more satisfying than making a D.Va perish at her own mech? Very little.
No more double heroes – only half the fun?
The second major change makes me almost really angry. In the ranked game mode, no duplicate characters will be allowed anymore. I know that some players have wished for this, but I have the (purely subjective) impression that this was once again the “vocal minority”.
What happened to the principle that “selecting multiple heroes is a staple part of Overwatch and is intentional”? Empty words and nothing more?
While I can absolutely understand that it can be frustrating for newcomers to run into a wall of Torbjörns and that some “rush tactics” with 2 Lucios and a lot of Winstons promise quick success, everything is counterable according to the good “rock-paper-scissors” principle. In Nether, the game even has extra voice lines for when you have multiple characters of the same type on the team (try packing several Tracers and listen closely).
Maybe I’m being too critical again – after all, it’s whining at a very high level. I hope that Blizzard will at least revert the change banning double heroes. The most fun matches I had – even in ranked mode – were when my team or the opponents went all-in with 6 Soldier: 76 or 6 Tracers. I don’t just want that in Quick Match.
I will definitely take the upcoming days to lead my “D.Va-Power Rangers Brigade” to victory a few more times with my friends and let our 6 turrets circle around Volskaya. Now more than ever.

Pokémon GO is now also available in the App Store and can be downloaded. To do this, you just need to enter “Pokémon GO” in the search and make sure that the app is from the developer Niantic. Here is an iTunes download link!
Thus, the release of Pokémon GO in Germany is complete – We wish you a lot of fun playing. Catch them all and become the very best.
Blizzard sends spammers to the silent stair. A new type of punishment will soon prevent rule breakers in World of Warcraft.
Just Shut Up – Spammers and Abusers Lose Their Chat Rights
With the prepatch of World of Warcraft: Legion, many things in the world of Azeroth will change. Apparently, Blizzard is also fed up with people who repeatedly display unacceptable behavior in chat. Therefore, a successful system from Heroes of the Storm will be implemented: the “Silence” punishment.
Stop, wait. Spammers will soon have to shut up.
All players who are reported multiple times for being under the “Spam” or “Offensive Chat” category will be subjected to this new type of account punishment after a review. Those who incur this sanction will temporarily lose the following functions:
Writing in instance chat
Writing in global chats (Trade, General, etc.)
Creating calendar invitations
Sending in-game letters
Sending group invitations
Sending war game invitations
Sending duel invitations
Creating a new entry for a “premade group” or editing an existing one
The following functions are still possible:
Whispering with friends
Responding to whispered messages from non-friends
Writing in group/raid chat (with loaded people)
Manually creating groups and raids
Writing in channels that have a moderator
Sharing quests
Joining a “premade group”
Blizzard casts a counterspell and punishes spammers with “Silence” – just for longer.
The special thing about this punishment: It doubles with every further sanction. At first, one will only be muted for 24 hours, then for 2, 4, 8, 16 days, and so on. As Blizzard nicely summarizes:
“This means that those who repeatedly incur the Silence punishment could soon be unreadable for a very, very long time.”
In the shared-world shooter The Division, we take a look at the G36 assault rifles after their nerf. How powerful is the once best AR now?
Before the launch of update 1.3, Massive announced: “Guys, the G36 assault rifles are too strong. You can play with them, but keep in mind that a nerf is coming soon.”
And on July 12th, it happened: The base damage was reduced by 15%. The beast was clawed back. Many agents are, let’s say, “unhappy” about it, because it was really fun to shoot with this OP rifle. And now the fun was nerfed with the G36 – or?
Are the G36 assault rifles still worth it in The Division?
YouTuber WOBO has taken a closer look at the G36, and beforehand: Yes, the G36 ARs are still very strong. However, they have been adjusted to the other assault rifles regarding damage over time. Here are two comparison graphs:
Before the patch: You can see that the G36 stood out too much from the crowd before the nerf. And when a weapon is the only logical choice in the game, the developers usually respond.
After the patch, the “damage per time” graph looks like this: The red G36 line is still superior, but the gap is significantly smaller.
If you look at just the damage without reload time, the G36 assault rifles are slightly inferior to the M4s.
Before the patch:
After the patch:
So, if you want to deal a lot of damage with assault rifles in a short time, you should opt for the G36 or the M4, especially the LVOA-C, as the LVOA-C performs the best among the M4 assault rifles: It has no horizontal instability, but it pulls strongly upwards.
Therefore, a short comparison between these two weapons is exciting:
Damage
The G36 delivers more damage over time. The LVOA-C delivers more short-term damage (without reloading). Both weapons get a point.
Precision
The reticle of the G36 spreads further apart than that of the LVOA-C. This point goes to the weapon from the M4 category.
Stability
The vertical stability of the G36 is much better. However, the LVOA-C has no horizontal instability at all. Both get a point.
Reload Speed
The G36 reloads in 2 seconds, while the LVOA-C reloads in 2.5 seconds. This point clearly goes to the G36. This is also the important reason why the weapon can deal more damage over time.
Optimal Range
The G36 has six meters more optimal range. Point to the nerfed weapon.
Overall, the score is now 4:3 for the G36. They remain the best assault rifles in the game due to reload speed and optimal range. It should also be noted that the handling of these assault rifles feels better than that of many others.
Summary: The G36 remains the best overall package of assault rifles in The Division. They are still the second-best weapon in the game regarding damage over time. However, the gap to the M1A sniper rifles has increased.
Before the nerf:
After the nerf:
In this video by WOBO, you can watch the comparison in moving images:
Already in the USA, New Zealand, Australia, and other countries, Pokémon is already a huge hit. In Germany, we had to wait longer due to server issues than originally expected. Only with annoying tricks were we able to go Pokémon hunting here too.

The next patch tweaks the competitive mode of Overwatch , improves D.Va, and prohibits selecting the same hero multiple times.
The End of the Torbjörn Army – no duplicate heroes allowed
Just yesterday, Blizzard announced the new hero Ana Amani and shortly thereafter started the test server. In line with this, the patch notes were also released with all the changes coming to Overwatch soon.
The most significant change is that in competitive mode, only one of the same hero can be used per team from now on. Gone are the days when 6 Torbjörns defended a point or an army of multiple Reinhardts slowly advanced. Additionally, the “Overtime” bar now depletes faster if Overtime has already been running for more than 20 seconds. Furthermore, the respawn rate of players during Overtime has been reduced by 2 seconds – a revival now takes longer.
Buffs for D.Va, Zenyatta, and Mercy
For a long time, it was promised that the Korean pro-gamer D.Va would be improved, and with this patch, it has finally come.
Self-destruct has been improved in almost all aspects. The Ultimate now charges 15% faster, the explosion is triggered after 3 instead of 4 seconds, and D.Va herself no longer takes damage from the explosion.
The Defense Matrix has also been adjusted. This ability now has its own resource that is consumed when the matrix is activated and then slowly refills. A full charge lasts 4 seconds.
A little love for D.Va – she is now significantly more useful.
The support hero Zenyatta can also look forward to some improvements.
Zenyatta is now a bit more resilient, as his shield supply has been increased from 100 to 150 (giving him a total of 200 health points).
Orb of Harmony/Dissonance now travels significantly faster to its targets than before.
During the Ultimate Transcendence, Zenyatta moves twice as fast as before, and healing has been increased from 200 to 300 per second.
Lastly, Mercy will also be improved.
The damage boost of her Caduceus Staff is now 50% (previously 30%), but it can no longer be stacked with multiple Mercys.
Her Ultimate Resurrect can now be used while moving, and Mercy no longer stops. In addition, activating it immediately finishes the cooldown of “Guardian Angel” to allow for her escape. As a trade-off, the Ultimate now has a 30% increased charge duration.
Besides that, there are also a bunch of bug fixes. A complete list of all changes can be found in our sources.
Mein-MMO says: While most of the changes, especially the introduction of the new hero Ana, sound quite good, we were surprised by the restriction “No duplicate heroes”. What was recently hailed as a core aspect of the game is now just thrown overboard – very few developers change their minds so quickly. Or to put it another way: If there were an Olympic discipline for backpedaling, Blizzard would surely win gold.

Blizzard announces a new hero for Overwatch ! Get all the information about Ana Amari here and check out her trailer.
Ana Amari – the healing sniper of Overwatch
Fans have long speculated about who the next hero of Overwatch could be, and now Blizzard has unexpectedly revealed it. As many have speculated, Ana Amari, the mother of Pharah who is already in the game, will enter the game as the new support hero.
Her weaponry and abilities match what many theories have already speculated.

Thus, Ana has a sniper rifle that (who would have guessed it) shoots arrows over long distances. She can either administer a healing shot to allies or inject poison to enemies.
If it comes to close combat, Ana can rely on her biotic grenades, which heal allies and poison nearby enemies upon explosion. But the grenade has even more effects: Allies receive temporarily increased healing, while opponents cannot be healed at all.
Her third weapon is a stun arrow that briefly incapacitates the hit target.
As her ultimate ability, she has the Nanoboost, which players from Heroes of the Storm may already know from Lt. Morales. Teammates move faster, hit harder, and take less damage.

Is Ana Amari the mysterious “Sombra”? It’s still not entirely clear, but it seems like there are indeed two different characters. We will certainly learn more about this in the coming weeks.
What is certain is that Ana hesitated once, causing many lives to be lost, while she herself “only” lost an eye. She is now ready to take up arms again.
In the MMO shooter Destiny , a fan showcases what he claims is the fastest Destiny mission in the world.
If your wife, girlfriend, or perhaps your mother wants to send you to bed way too early again, you beg for “Just one more minute” and the response is “Okay, but really just one more minute,” what do you do with those precious 60 seconds?
Strikes can be forgotten. A raid definitely too. Crucible matches usually take significantly longer. What now?
The Guardian JukesAndStuff knows how to make the most of a minute in Destiny. In 1:03, he can complete a whole mission.
Fist of Crota completed in under a minute
The mission in question is “Fist of Crota.” The user accelerates with his Sparrow, takes down the Fist of Crota, and finishes the mission in record time. See for yourself:

Yes, that was fast. JukesAndStuff writes that he played this mission continuously for eight hours until he achieved this run. He believes it is possible to complete this mission in under a minute.
Pokémon Go is not just a fun little mobile game, but the augmented reality game is a real MMO. At least that’s what Raph Koster, the former Creative Director of Star Wars Galaxies, claims. Read here how he arrives at this and other conclusions, and what we think about the topic.
Both games use a server that provides a simulated space. The only difference is that WoW creates a completely fictional world, while Pokémon GO uses the real world as its basis.
Both games track and locate the game client in this simulated space.
Both games generate AI spawn points that players can interact with.
The player is the avatar
In World of Warcraft, the player creates a virtual representation of themselves, the so-called avatar. In Pokémon GO, there is also a virtual alter ego, but in reality, the player is both client and avatar. This is because the Pokémon GO app requires access to virtually all the functions and contents of the smartphone, which for many modern people is essentially their entire lives: friends list, Facebook account, contacts, location, and so on.
Moreover, the virtual avatar only moves from the spot when you also move in the real world. And other players see their own body rather than the virtual representation. The boundary between the virtual and real world is significantly blurred, and the body becomes the avatar – with all the consequences that follow.
Economic factors
Another interesting aspect of Raph Koster’s argument is the economic factors that can arise from games like Pokémon GO. In the game, there are so-called “Poke Stops” where players can collect power-ups and deposit them for other players. Logically, such places are highly frequented, and those who are lucky enough to have a café, bar, or gym at such locations will likely have significantly more customers than the store around the corner that doesn’t have a Poke Stop.
Some particularly clever shop owners have already taken measures to attract Pokémon players to their stores.
Already, an article has appeared on the business portal Forbes that gives entrepreneurs tips on how to attract even more customers via Pokémon GO. Because someone hunting a rare Pokémon in the store might just buy themselves a new pair of shoes or treat themselves to a particularly large ice cream sundae in a moment of joy. The downside, of course, is that the decision over a Poke Spot becomes an important economic factor, and the people in charge at Nintendo and Co. can exert significant influence over local businesses. According to Forbes, many requests from shop owners and businesses wanting to make their store a Poké Stop are already coming in to the Pokémon GO authorities. However, there has been no official statement on the matter so far.
PvP in real life?
When in World of Warcraft our avatar gets beaten up, it usually doesn’t hurt us. But in augmented reality, it looks entirely different. So what to do if the hunt for rare creatures takes me right into the worst ghetto in town and I stroll past all sorts of shady characters with my expensive smartphone? There have already been incidents where a gang of robbers targeted unsuspecting players at a popular Poke Stop and robbed them.
Furthermore, one should not forget that the real world is also dangerous. If someone stares only at their phone screen and completely ignores their surroundings, they quickly get hit by a car, fall from bridges, or stumble into construction sites. And especially in the United States, with the laws protecting homeowners, a short trip onto someone else’s property, from which a particularly valuable Pokémon smiles at us, can quickly become deadly if the homeowner feels threatened and pulls out a gun. By the way, there is a very disturbing article by a Black author who is quitting Pokémon GO because he fears he might soon get shot.
MMO with all the consequences
If Pokémon GO is an MMO like WoW, according to Raph Koster, all sorts of things can happen that occur in an MMO. Both nice and fun things such as forming groups, interaction, emotes, and role-playing, as well as bad things like trolling, cheating, and bullying. Therefore, companies like Nintendo have a huge responsibility because they are essentially the government in relation to the game world.
So it is no longer just about marketing a game and raking in the money. When a game creates such a large and active community, a regulatory body must necessarily emerge to prevent everything from descending into anarchy and chaos.
Mein-MMO says: I was previously familiar with augmented reality mainly from cyberpunk and science fiction literature, but I always found the concept extremely fascinating. Other than a few precursors like Ingress, AR has suddenly become an overnight global phenomenon thanks to Pokémon GO that almost everyone must know, regardless of whether they even play the game or not.
This has opened a tremendous door, and in no time the world is adapting to augmented reality, with all its pros and cons. While data protection advocates criticize the glassy users and it is certain that there will soon be serious accidents, violent acts, and fraud cases related to AR, the development is unstoppable and simply represents too much potential for particularly cool games and other applications to be ignored.
So much for my opinion on the subject. But what do you think about augmented reality and the resulting opportunities and dangers? Is it a brave new world or just a silly gimmick that ultimately won’t hold up once the big Pokémon hype is over? Write it in the comments and let us know!
In addition to the “Playstation 4” version of Neverwinter, Cryptic Studios is also working on the new module Storm King’s Thunder.
The developers have now revealed what to expect in this module in a new blog post. This time, you will be dealing with giants. Five of the titanic races (Hill, Stone, Frost, Cloud, Storm) threaten the Sword Coast and pursue dark plans to become the rulers of all giants. The Frost Giant Jarl Storvald is trying to find the Ring of Winter, with which he can turn the world into an icy wasteland. Of course, you must not allow this and travel back to Icewind Dale.
Explore new zones full of adventures
There you will encounter three new adventure zones. The city of Bryn Shander serves as a refuge. From there, you will travel to the Lonely Forest. The surrounding area of the forest settlement at Maer Dualdon may seem peaceful, but you won’t be able to enjoy this peace for long. Additionally, you will head to Kaltbach, where mysterious things are happening on the coast of the Driftice Sea… In each zone, new quests, new repeatable content, new heroic encounters, and new instances for high-level players await you.
A special challenge is the Fangbreaker Island, a new dungeon for 5 players. This is the game’s toughest vault yet, requiring a higher item level than all other waitlists. Those who take on the challenges will be rewarded with the best equipment in the game. However, you will gain access to the dungeon only after making certain progress in the new campaign.
Autumn will be frosty
To protect yourself from the magical cold of the Ring of Winter, you must seek out the Ostorian relics. Additionally, the module brings a lot of balance changes to the MMORPG Neverwinter. The Storm King’s Thunder module is set to be released this autumn – first for the PC version, shortly thereafter for the console versions.

Blizzard is starting to get serious and is showing more and more videos about the upcoming WoW expansion “Legion”. Get a first taste of the “Harbingers” here.
The backstory of Legion in animated videos
To excite World of Warcraft players a bit and prepare them for the next expansion Legion, Blizzard is coming up with several ideas. It started with 2 comics that tell the first parts of the backstory of Legion. Now the next works are starting, as the WoW developers are releasing a series of short films, similar to what was done for Warlords of Draenor. The series will primarily focus on the development of Medivh, Khadgar, Illidan and his Illidari, as well as Gul’dan.
For a first taste of the short films, a trailer has already been released, which we of course don’t want to withhold from you. Currently, it is only available in English, but should give everyone an impression of what is yet to come in the next weeks.

Even though the trailer reveals few details so far, it seems to center around the seductive power of the Fel and the Burning Legion, which even the most powerful can hardly resist. And the little sequence at the end, with a burning Dalaran, does not bode well for the future of Azeroth.
There is no fixed date for the release of the short films yet, but if Blizzard follows the release of the last addon, we should probably see one of these videos weekly in just a few days.

What environments can you find the different Pokémon types? Here is a summary list.
Pokémon GO excites aspiring Pokémon trainers all over the world. It is now officially available for Android and iOS users in Germany. To help you get an overview of where you can catch your first Caterpie or Machop, we have prepared a summary list for you.
Where can I find which Pokémon?
If you are looking for specific Pokémon, you can check this list to find out where you should search best. Keep in mind that some Pokémon can also spawn “randomly,” so you might find a Water Pokémon on land as well. This list shows the locations where certain Pokémon types primarily reside.
In addition, you should also check our Pokédex: All Pokémon in Pokémon GO!. This way, you can see which Pokémon are meant.
This list is obviously far from complete – This is particularly due to the fact that Pokémon GO has not been available for long and we still need to gather more information. Where did you discover your Pokémon? It’s best to mention typical places where you have frequently found certain Pokémon types. We will regularly check the comments and update the list – Thank you for your help!

Among other fixes, a bug with the AlphaBridge gloves in The Division was supposed to be resolved. This bug caused the attributes on these gear pieces to roll incorrectly. Some even had no attributes at all.
The patch addressed the problem: attributes on pre-existing gloves should also be rerolled. However, issues still persist.
AlphaBridge gloves are still bugged
Currently, agents on reddit are overwhelmed with reports that their AlphaBridge gloves are completely bugged. Some have no attributes at all, while others have attributes with duplicate values:
Other agents also report that the reroll has completely ruined their build, as the gloves now have entirely different attributes than before. Generally, many players seem very dissatisfied with the “fix” applied to the gloves.
Due to the many issues, some users are already predicting a new reroll for the AlphaBridge gloves.
At this point, it should also be noted that for some agents, everything appears to be fine. What are your experiences after today’s patch?
This week, we have found 3 Overwatch gems for you. A flying Reinhardt, the coolest dunk of all time, and McCree in a frenzy.
Reinhardt gives McCree a boost
Once again this week, we scoured the various forums and Reddit to find 3 of the most entertaining moments from Overwatch. And what can we say? We hit the jackpot again.
The absolute gem of the week goes to a McCree. Well, strictly speaking, it goes to a duo of McCree and Reinhardt on the Route 66 map. In the last seconds of the game, things look bleak for the defending team as the payload is nearly at the goal. McCree wants to turn the tide with his “High Noon,” but the opposing team is hiding out of sight. Reinhardt seizes the moment and charges forward: The charge sends three enemies flying, landing in McCree’s line of fire. Boom, triple kill.

Our second place goes to the “Flycatcher” Reinhardt, who isn’t discouraged by the fact that he is primarily a melee hero. Just as he is about to charge, Junkrat’s mine explodes under his feet and sends him into the air – exactly at the height of the enemy Pharah, whom he quickly squashes against the next wall. Sometimes, luck just plays a part.

Few things in Overwatch are as satisfying as the feeling of finally getting that darn basketball into the hoop. But it gets even cooler. Syncing up with the announcer to sink the ball right on time, just like this Tracer demonstrates here.

In the MMO shooter Destiny, there is an exclusive emblem for Xbox Guardians to grab – when you play with or against Bungie.
Since the reveal of “The Rise of Iron”, the upcoming autumn expansion for Destiny, Bungie’s Twitch channel has been inactive. Hardly anyone ventures there, and if they do, they leave straight away – there hasn’t been anything to see for weeks.
Bungie wants to change this now. Tomorrow, on July 13th, the channel will be dusted off, and a “Bungie Bounty” will take place, where the developers want to play live with and against the community. The game will be played on Xbox One in the “Conflict” mode, a “6 against 6” mode.
The event starts on July 13th at 10 PM our time and will last about two hours.
Those who play with and against Bungie will receive an emblem
Bungie is represented by the community manager Cozmo, who is supported by the two streamers “Lucky and BW”. If you’re wondering who will fill the remaining three spots of this fireteam: they will be random Guardians from the community.
Because the three chosen ones will regularly start matchmaking to pair any active players out there as members and as opponents. For the lucky participants, there’s a reward after each match: an exclusive emblem: Bungie also issues a “fair warning” that Cozmo and the other two are used to playing together. They have already enjoyed many long walks to the lighthouse together.
If you want to watch this spectacle, you can do so here with us. We will embed the Twitch stream below.
