In Once Human on Steam, there are various servers with different scenarios that function like seasons. Players are now unsure whether they can keep the progress of their character from the scenarios. Therefore, we will explain how the server resets work.
How do scenarios work? In Once Human, there are different servers, and each server has a seasonal scenario. With these scenarios, the developers aim to bring fresh content to PvE and PvP every 6 weeks.
Each scenario offers various innovations that players can test on a new server. However, since fans have to switch servers for a new scenario, it was initially unclear what players could retain from the previous server.
The developers have now clarified this and listed what you can take with your character to a new server in Once Human.

Once Human: What you can keep at the end of a scenario
What can you always keep? Due to the confusion, the developers wrote a blog post on Steam, in which they went into more detail about the server resets. The following items and progress can be retained when switching servers:
Important currencies: Starchroms, Crystgins, Mitsuko’s Marks, Stellar Planula, and Sproutlets
Blueprints of your equipment (and their stars), fragments of blueprints, accessories for your weapons, and mods
Blueprints of furniture (except for those received from the Memetics)
Cosmetic items, emotes, and poses, name tags, and more
Blueprints of your houses: If you have saved your building in a blueprint, you can reconstruct it at any time.
Progress of the quests in the main and side story (for the quests you have already completed, you can accept simplified versions in the new season, but still receive all rewards).
Your friend list
What can you partially keep? Some items can only be partially taken into a new scenario. These include:
What else do I need to know about a new season? If you want to start fresh in a new scenario, your character will be reset to level 1 and the world map will be obscured again. The developers want every player to start from scratch when a “server reset” occurs so that everyone goes through the same experience.
Each scenario also offers a new map with new discoveries and rewards. Additionally, there are fresh quests, challenges, and rewards. That was all the information on the server reset.

On Steam, you can currently play the demo of a new action RPG. This game aims to impress not only with beautiful graphics but also with an interesting concept.
What game is this about? Deathbound is a new single-player action RPG scheduled to be released on August 8, 2024, on Steam. The game is being developed by the indie studio Trialforge Studio and published by Tate Multimedia.
In Deathbound, a medieval setting meets the ruins of modern technologies. The trailer shows that the game already looks quite good graphically:
Start video
In Deathbound, the Middle Ages meet modern ruins
What can you expect? The setting alone might make Deathbound interesting for many players. Two different eras are mixed together in an interesting way here. Although the current setting is rather medieval, it is said to be built upon the ruins of a modern society.
The trailer shows that the characters are primarily inspired by the Middle Ages, but in the background, you can see old, abandoned trains, for example. Graphically, the game does present itself quite well and can hold its own as an indie title.
Besides this mix, the concept of Deathbound sounds quite interesting as well. You take on the role of a warrior who absorbs the souls of other fallen warriors throughout the game. In Deathbound, you will play four characters simultaneously, who essentially share one body. You can then transform into any of the other warriors at will.
Each of your four characters is supposed to have its own style and abilities, which you can combine by skillfully switching during combat. Additionally, each character is expected to have its own skill tree, so you need to develop all four of them individually.
The 2nd season of House of the Dragon is in full swing and, as the name suggests, it also involves dragons that are used by various actors to conquer and fight. In The Winds of Winter, George R.R. Martin aims to explore the relationship between dragons and riders in more detail.
In his own blog, George R.R. Martin talks about the latest episode of House of the Dragon and in general about how dragons, and specifically his dragons, are written. In the post, he explains how he approaches his dragons.
He describes in detail how he designed his dragons. He wanted two instead of four legs. They need food, water, air, and dragons from Westeros are hunters. He explains that the dragons hunt their food and they have specific territories and places where they would live freely.
He also wants to further explore the relationship with humans in the future.
Dragons are one of the most important tools in House of the Dragon:

House of the Dragon – English trailer for the prequel series to „Game of Thrones“
What is the relationship between dragons and humans?
More information is to come in the next novel. In the blog post, he explains that there were 40 families that rode dragons before the story in House of the Dragon. However, these were not in Westeros, only those we know from the Targaryens.
George R.R. Martin intends to explain more about the relationship in his next two novels:
They form a bond with men… with certain men… and the why and how and how it came to be will eventually be further explained in THE WINDS OF WINTER and A DREAM OF SPRING and partly in BLOOD & FIRE.
He already explains here that dragons can be trained like bears, wolves, and lions, but they are never fully tamed. Dragons have their own personality and reflect the personality of their rider. They adapt to each other. This relationship, which has already been shown in Game of Thrones, is something Martin intends to further develop in the next two books.
When will the next book be released? However, fans will have to wait a bit longer for the two books, as in an update, the author revealed that The Winds of Winter is not yet finished. This means that one can expect to wait even longer. For A Dream of Spring, correspondingly even longer. The last volume of A Song of Ice and Fire was released in 2011. House of the Dragon draws its inspiration from a real historical war: The war that inspired “House of the Dragon” had no dragons, but everything else is suspiciously similar.

Tier List for Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ) – As of July 2024
Here is a brief overview of our current tier list, followed by details:
S-Tier: Ellen, Lycaon, Rina, Grace, Zhu Yuan, Nekomata
A-Tier: Soldier No. 11, Lucy, Nicole, Soukaku
B-Tier: Anton, Anby, Koleda, Ben
C-Tier: Corin, Piper, Billy
S-Tier: Ellen, Lycaon, Rina, Grace, Zhu Yuan, and Nekomata
Ellen
Specialty: Attack
Attribute: Ice
Rarity: S-Rank
Member of: Victoria Housekeeping Co.
Ellen Joe is excellent for beginners as she is relatively easy to play compared to other characters. She can move quickly across the battlefield with a special sprint mode, thereby dodging opponents’ attacks more easily.
Ellen is considered the best DPS character in ZZZ.
She stands out with a high critical hit rate and high ice damage. Ellen can perform fast and precise attacks and also cause significant area damage (AoE). Additionally, she can freeze opponents and enhance her own attacks. Currently, she is probably the best choice for a damage character (DPS). She also uses little resources, as her main damage skills do not consume energy.
Lycaon
Specialty: Stun
Attribute: Ice
Rarity: S-Rank
Member of: Victoria Housekeeping Co.
With Lycaon on the team, you have an agent who is more focused on support. He can stun opponents with super-fast strikes, which can also be charged, after a certain time. This allows the main damage dealer to take over.
Moreover, he also deals solid damage apart from stunning. Thus, he serves well as a second DPS character in the team—ideally alongside other ice agents like Ellen.
Lycaon’s talents such as Full Moon Momentum and Energy Feedback increase his damage and he regains energy. His role in the team is dynamic, acting both as an attacker and a supporter depending on what is needed in the fight. Additionally, he has a high HP value, making him tanky.
Rina
Specialty: Support
Attribute: Electro
Rarity: S-Rank
Member of: Victoria Housekeeping Co.
Rina shines with a high range and is a real supporter. She increases the damage dealt by her allies and is incredibly mobile.
Her passive ability enhances the electro damage of the team after attacks from her companions Drusilla and Anastella, which she can summon. Her Pen Ratio buff is practically beneficial for all characters. Moreover, she can increase shock damage and duration through a buff. Rina can also push opponents back with her ultimate ability. However, she deals relatively low damage herself.
Grace
Specialty: Anomaly
Attribute: Electro
Rarity: S-Rank
Member of: Belobog
Grace’s kit is overall quite strong. She hurls grenades, causing area damage (AoE) to her opponents. Moreover, she is very mobile and fast. Her attack animations range from jumps to somersaults.
Grace has the ability to quickly put enemies into a shocked state, accumulate her own attribute anomalies effectively, and improve the performance of other electro agents. Together with Rina, you have an ideal electro duo. Her talents such as Recharge Chamber and Lightning Piercer strengthen the team and reduce the enemies’ resistance to electro damage.
Zhu Yuan
Specialty: Attack
Attribute: Ether
Rarity: S-Rank
Member of: Criminal Investigation Special Response Team
Zhu Yuan is currently one of the best characters in Zenless Zone Zero. She is the only member of the Criminal Investigation Special Response Team. Zhu Yuan is characterized by her versatile attack abilities. She can deal physical and ether damage and switch between ranged and melee combat.
Moreover, she excels with a high attack speed. Through her EX-special, she gains charges for improved shotgun shells. This allows her to deal a lot of ether damage. She is the only member of her faction, which makes it difficult to unleash her full potential. We recommend that if you want to play Zhu Yuan, you include the agent Nicole in your team – whom we will get to shortly. Zhu Yuan is set to be released on July 24, 2024, with the Unswerving Bullet-banner.
Nekomata
Specialty: Attack
Attribute: Physical
Rarity: S-Rank
Member of: Cunning Hares
With Nekomata, you have a physical damage agent with a high critical hit probability. Her skills are designed to eliminate opponents with fast, powerful strikes and high critical damage.
Her kit is designed to increase her own damage – for example, through successful dodge counters. If you prefer a fast play style and a lot of damage, Nekomata could be the ideal agent for you.
A-Tier: Soldier No. 11, Lucy, Nicole, and Soukaku
Soldier No. 11
Specialty: Attack
Attribute: Fire
Rarity: S-Rank
Member of: Obol Squad
The attacks of Soldier No. 11 combine physical and fire damage. With her abilities such as Raging Fire, Fervent Fire, and Uplifting Flame, she can deal massive fire damage. Her ultimate Bellowing Flame and her chain attack Uplifting Flame are strong AoE abilities. At the same time, she is mobile and fast. She serves well as a main DPS in your team.
If you have at least 2 fire agents in the team, she benefits from Fields of Fire. This additional skill increases her energy generation and improves her fire damage.
Lucy
Specialty: Support
Attribute: Fire
Rarity: A-Rank
Member of: Sons of Calydon
Lucy is a fire support agent who supports her team with her abilities while dealing damage at the same time. Her ultimate causes high AoE fire damage. During this ability, other team members regain energy, and the next switching character gains additional energy.
Her role is to increase the team’s efficiency and deal significant AoE fire damage, especially when she activates the Cheer On!-effect (special attack). This increases the ATK value of the allies by a percentage of Lucy’s ATK, up to a maximum of 600. During her special attack, she can also summon Guard Boars to assist her in battle.
Nicole
Specialty: Support
Attribute: Ether
Rarity: A-Rank
Member of: Cunning Hares AKA Gentle House
Nicole can create gravitational fields and pull enemies to their center, allowing other agents to deal proper damage over time – thus you can cluster many enemies together and bombard them with a team combo.
This gives her high AoE potential and makes her particularly effective against larger groups of enemies. Through her ether attribute, she can create a debuff (Corruption) that deals ether damage over time and can interrupt the actions of the targets.
Soukaku
Specialty: Support
Specialty: Ice
Rarity: A-Rank
Member of: Hollow Special Operations Section 6
Soukaku is a support agent whose strengths focus on ice damage and tactical support. Her skills are designed for direct combat and for supporting the team. Cooling Bento! and Rally! allow her to execute strong ice damage attacks while providing team support.
Soukaku’s playstyle revolves around building three stacks of Vortex with her EX-special, before using Fly the Flag and switching to the Frosted Banner-mode. This enhances, among other things, her normal attacks.
B-Tier: Anton, Anby, Koleda, and Ben
Anton
Specialty: Attack
Attribute: Electro
Rarity: A-Rank
Member of: Belobog Heavy Industries
Anton focuses on electro damage and abilities that control the battlefield. His attacks can cover large areas. In burst mode, his attacks become stronger.
Anton benefits significantly from teamwork with other electro characters, enhancing his effects. His talents such as Warm-up Exercise and State of Flow improve his energy regeneration and provide additional defense through shields.
Anby
Specialty: Stun
Attribute: Electro
Rarity: A-Rank
Member of: Cunning Hares
Anby is a character with electric stun attacks and slash damage. She is particularly useful for crowd control and as a stun character, allowing others in the team to deal significant damage. Thus, she works best as a second DPS character.
Through her passive abilities, she also has supportive properties for the team, improving the energy regeneration of electro characters.
Koleda
Specialty: Stun
Attribute: Fire
Rarity: S-Rank
Member of: Belobog Heavy Industries
Koleda is a melee fighter with a strong focus on fire damage and crowd control. Her abilities allow her to execute powerful fire attacks that deal both area damage and single-target damage.
She is especially strong in teams with other fire agents and can continuously deal good damage and stun opponents through her abilities. Together with Ben on the team, she can execute a strong combo attack. We will now move on to Ben.
Ben
Specialty: Defense
Attribute: Fire
Rarity: A-Rank
Member of: Belobog Heavy Industries
Ben is a tank who deals fire damage. His fighting style combines attacks with strong defense, allowing him to block enemy attacks and counterattack in response. He can grant his allies a shield, which is particularly helpful when you have characters in the team that may fall quickly.
His talents such as Reacting Force and Offense Through Defense enhance his ability to block attacks while simultaneously reducing incoming damage or dealing additional damage.
C-Tier: Corin, Piper, and Billy
Corin
Specialty: Attack
Attribute: Physical
Rarity: A-Rank
Member of: Victoria Housekeeping Co.
Corin is a melee fighter designed for a high critical rate. Her abilities, especially her chainsaw attacks like Clean Sweep and Skirt Alert, benefit from her critical hits.
Corin has several chainsaw attacks that can cause area damage (AoE), especially her special attack (Clean Sweep) and her EX Special Attack (Skirt Alert). Besides her AoE damage, Corin is also capable of dealing solid single-target damage. However, overall, her attacks are slower and her area damage is not as high as other characters on the list. Additionally, she is more vulnerable due to her low HP and defense values.
Piper
Specialty: Attack
Attribute: Anomaly
Rarity: A-Rank
Member of: Sons of Calydon
Piper is a melee fighter specializing in physical damage and mastering a variety of attacks. With abilities such as Tire Spin and Engine Spin, she can perform attacks that deal physical damage in large areas around her.
During her special attack (Tire Spin) and her EX-special attack (Engine Spin), her protection against interruptions increases and she takes 40% less damage. Her focus is on building assault anomaly, which deals a lot of damage to opponents.
Billy
Specialty: Attack
Attribute: Physical
Rarity: A-Rank
Member of: Cunning Hares
Billy is a ranged DPS who shoots with two revolvers. He uses his EX-special attack and ultimate to enhance anomaly building. With his chain attack, he can deal a significant amount of AoE damage.
However, he has low HP and defense values, making him generally more vulnerable. With his high range, you can act relatively safely against melee fighters.
Overall, it is difficult to create a suitable tier list for Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ), as it also heavily depends on your preferences and how you assemble your team. This tier list should therefore give you an overview of the characters so you can get a first impression. What do you think of the characters? Who are your favorites? Feel free to write it down in the comments. Zenless Zone Zero also offers various codes like Genshin Impact: We have listed all the codes you can redeem in July 2024

In Diablo 4 there are “caps,” meaning limits for various values. However, an expert believes that this restricts players too much. Furthermore, it diminishes the fun of the game.
What are caps? Caps are limits where certain values reach a maximum. In Diablo 4, there are soft caps, which represent a limit but can still be influenced by certain sources. There are also various hard caps that set a clear boundary, including:
In his YouTube video, the Diablo expert Rob2628 explains that he does not find this form of “balancing” good; caps restrict the build diversity in Diablo 4. He specifically refers to “hard caps.” This means: that’s it for the value; there are no bonuses if you increase it further.
Season 5 in Diablo 4 starts on August 6 and runs until the expansion, Vessel of Hatred, launches. Here you can see the cinematic for the DLC:
Start video
Trailer for Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred provides insight into the story of the expansion
“Diablo 4 is not going in a cool direction with this”
What is wrong with hard caps? Rob explains that hard caps have a huge impact on how players play and their builds. “In the end, we will all be playing exactly the same build with exactly the same values,” he says in the video.
As an example, he mentions the Barbarian. This is already the case here, as all strong builds equip the “Blood Rage” node in the Paragon board to reach the hard cap for damage in Berserker mode.
Specific disadvantages Rob sees regarding hard caps:
The diversity of builds is restricted since many players use the same skills, Paragon nodes, glyphs, and items.
Caps that relate to certain item stacks, obols, or tasks for the Tree of Whispers hold things up enormously, as you will have to clear your inventory, spend obols, and complete tasks in between.
In the video, the Diablo expert notes that he fears that other values will also receive hard caps, such as the central passive skill “Gaping Wounds,” with which Barbarian players “have a lot of fun.”
Diablo expert wudijo says in a video discussing the strongest builds in Season 5 and class balance in Diablo 4 that, on the other hand: The “Gaping Wounds” skill scales “ridiculously” high in the endgame and needs a cap and/or a nerf.
What does he suggest? Rob notes in the video that this is “not a cool direction” the game is taking. He wishes for more “interesting caps,” meaning rather “soft caps” that influence certain values, like in the case of resistances.
The resistances against fire, lightning, poison, shadow, and cold have a soft cap of 70%. The maximum resistance is limited by this – but can be increased by various sources, but cannot exceed 85%.
Rob acknowledges that Diablo 4 needs balancing, but he is dissatisfied with the hard caps and would like to see more of the way caps work with resistances. He would also like this for the armor value.
In the video, he provides an example; the exact values can be discussed, the numbers are “random”:
9,000 (or 9,230) armor = 80% damage reduction – this is roughly where the soft cap lies
Samsung’s new Galaxy Ring is very expensive. Now, the company announced that there will be no additional costs.
Health or fitness trackers in the form of a ring are nothing completely new, as companies like Oura have been offering this for several years.
However, Samsung has ventured into new territory with the Galaxy Ring. It costs 429 euros (pre-order), which is significantly more than the Oura Ring (about 300 euros). The big difference, however, is that you don’t need a subscription if you want to use all the features of the fitness ring.
Samsung earns enough, so you don’t have to pay a subscription
Why is there no subscription needed? Lee Dinham, Samsung’s mobile product specialist, explained in a conversation with Forbes that there will be no subscription required for the use of the Galaxy Ring.
This is possible, according to Lee Dinham, because the Korean company “earns its money elsewhere” and has multiple revenue sources. Simply put, the company can bear all additional operating costs of the Galaxy Ring without requiring a subscription from you. In comparison, the company Oura charges around 5 euros per month for their ring as a subscription.
Dinham added that this is a permanent decision, and Samsung has no plans to demand a subscription in the future. This is good news for those who have considered purchasing the Galaxy Ring.
When will the Galaxy Ring be released? The Galaxy Ring will officially debut on July 24, 2024, in the US market and the European Union.
The argument about money may be surprising since Samsung recorded the weakest business year in over a decade in 2023. To overcome this crisis, the company now wants to introduce a 64-hour workweek. Some employees are already working significantly longer, but Samsung is said to have already applied to the South Korean ministry for additional work: As Samsung is in trouble, the company wants to introduce a 64-hour workweek for some employees

WoW: Trailer for the release date of The War Within
What was reported? In the Elden Ring subreddit, a player shares that a friend of theirs loves Elden Ring and has already played 15 hours – but hasn’t searched any caves, dungeons, or anything similar. They haven’t fought any bosses either. For 15 hours, they have been trying out classes and pretty much just running around the first area. Nevertheless, the thread creator is excited that a friend has finally found joy in their favorite game.
Community shares their own stories: The thread, however, quickly brought forth several other contributions from players who talked about acquaintances or their own behavior and how they have played games “wrongly” or “unusually” – and yet had great fun doing so.
I played World of Warcraft when it was brand new. One of our guys played with his wife. She only fished. 100% of the time, fishing nonstop.
Our entire guild stash overflowed with “rare” fish that were “hard to find”, tanks and healers sang praises to the fish lady.
10 gold for a stack of night fin soup. Not today, auction house, not today.
Many describe below that they also had colleagues in their guilds who loved to fish in the game, even though it’s basically just a small, fairly relaxed minigame where you do little more than wait.
Others report that their partners sometimes play games a bit “strangely”.
So roland303 writes about his girlfriend:
My girlfriend refuses to do anything else in The Sims except build houses. She builds the houses and creates neighborhoods.
Just thinking about how much joy she has just building houses makes me so happy.
Agonizind Squid had somewhat contrary experiences:
I love it when I can enjoy games my way and hate it when people tell me how I should play a game.
In the end, it’s always curious how some people interact with games and what brings them joy. So don’t let anyone tell you that you are playing a game “wrong” – because as you can see, there are indeed quite a lot of people who appreciate doing just that.

From June 27 to July 11, 2024, Steam attracted with numerous offers again. The Summer Sale featured many interesting titles, some of which were drastically reduced. A developer team is now pleased that their game has sold particularly well.
Which title is it about? Frostpunk has sold frequently in the current Steam Summer Sale. The title was released on April 24, 2018, and has left a very positive impression on players with 92% among 88,725 ratings on Steam.
Frostpunk is set in a post-apocalyptic world. We must ensure that the last city on Earth survives.
In doing so, we must make tough decisions to secure the survival of the community. Often, our compassion conflicts with rational decisions.
In our decisions, we need to be careful that the community’s morale does not plummet. Their needs should be taken into account.
Since its release, there have been several free and paid expansions. The latter are available via the Season Pass. Thanks to the discount in the Steam Sale, many new players seem to have discovered Frostpunk to help their citizens survive the harsh winter.
Meanwhile, a sequel to Frostpunk has been announced. Check out the latest trailer here:

Due to the high sales figures, the number of players on Steam increased fivefold. According to SteamDB, there were only 2,335 players in Frostpunk before the start of the sale. Shortly after the start, the player count rose to 10,650.
Why has it sold so many times? There are probably two reasons why Frostpunk has sold so much:
On the one hand, the game was available at a phenomenal price of only 2.99 euros. Even the Game of the Year edition was available at a price of 10.65 euros. The regular price is 29.99 euros, and the GOTY edition costs 45.46 euros.
Frostpunk 2 will do some things differently than the first part. We plan the city in districts instead of micromanaging individual buildings. Additionally, there will no longer be an autocratic regime; however, we will still make the final decision. You can find all further information about the title on MeinMMO: Anyone who wants to struggle with tough decisions should definitely play Frostpunk 2.

What stands out in the comments is that many players come from Warframe or Destiny 2. They know these games and have spent countless hours in them. For these people, The First Descendant is a pleasant change. Many simply enjoy The First Descendant more.
The First Descendant is also being criticized: In the thread, many also recognize points of criticism. There was a huge outcry about cosmetics in the game. This is also mentioned by user Devin1026, who believes that The First Descendant should take a page from Warframe’s book. The enormous grind and controversial pricing are also major points of criticism.

The MMORPG Lost Ark is set to receive a new update in July, which players who prefer not to have team members will especially look forward to.
What are these raids? In July, Lost Ark will get a new update. One of the new features is a solo mode for raids. With this update, players will be able to tackle Legion Raids and the “Ivory Tower Abyssal” dungeon solo without a group.
With the single-player mode, players should be able to jump straight into the raids without waiting. Although this new game mode is also intended for the progression of your character, there is a catch.
Here you can see the teaser for Lost Ark Mobile:

Here are the rewards for the raids
What is the catch with the new mode? Players who prefer to complete raids solo rather than in a group are expected to receive fewer rewards. However, this only affects the gold earned from the raids. The progression materials obtained from the raids will still be fully available to the players.
That players will receive progression materials from the single-player mode will be a welcome change, especially for solo players. Until now, they had to rely on random team members and wait.
How are supporters supposed to do the raids alone? The developers of Lost Ark have promised that all classes will be able to handle the raids alone. Supporters will also have the opportunity to complete the single-player mode.
What else does the update bring? The July update for Lost Ark is set to introduce more new features to the MMORPG. This includes the new raid boss Echidna, which players can challenge after the main story. Additionally, there will be a Tier 3 Support Boost and extra support for item enhancements.
Changes affecting the elixir and transcendence systems are intended to clarify the system. This change is based on player feedback and is part of the developers’ campaign to reduce the stress and burden that Lost Ark has.

The mechanics behind Baldur’s Gate 3 are not so easy for newcomers to understand:
Why do spells hit and why do they miss?
How exactly do the values affect the probabilities of attacks?
What is child’s play for Pen&Paper veterans can be very confusing for newcomers.
It is even more annoying when the game does not provide the correct information and misleads even veterans.

What is the problem with spells? For attacks to hit in Baldur’s Gate 3, there are two different types of attacks:
For attack rolls, the attacker must roll and exceed a certain value, such as the armor of the enemy. If the value is exceeded, the attack hits.
For saving throws, the victim may roll. For example, they must exceed the “Spell Save DC” of the attacker to resist the spell.
The probability of whether an attack or defense is successful is displayed in the game in the tooltips. These are percentage chances that usually relate to a 20-sided die.
The problem: The game often takes the wrong values as the basis for the calculations in the tooltips and therefore shows lower chances than actually are the case.

How does the error occur? It seems to simply be confusions in the code. Because in the tooltips, the modifier of the same attribute, which the defender must take when defending, is taken for the difficulty of the “Spell Save DC” – even if these values differ.
Or, to illustrate with an example:
The spell “Sacred Flame” is enhanced on the attacker’s side by the Willpower value. The higher the attacker’s Willpower value, the more difficult the “Spell Save DC” that the defender must roll over.
The defender rolls and adds their Dexterity modifier to the result when defending against “Sacred Flame”, as it is a Dexterity saving throw.
The problem here is: Even for the attacker, the attribute is included in the tooltip that indicates the modifier for the defender.
This means: In the tooltip of the spell “Sacred Flame”, Baldur’s Gate shows the Spell Save DC calculated from the base value (10) plus talents plus the Dexterity modifier of the target, even though it should actually use the Willpower modifier. The calculation in the tooltip is therefore incorrect.
That sounds complicated – and it is at first glance. This is probably also the reason why the error has not been noticed clearly until now.
At least: If you select a spell and hover the mouse over the desired target, the correct probability of a hit is displayed there. The correct calculation is also performed in the calculation that you can view in the combat log.
Ultimately, it is mainly a bug in the tooltip, thus a visual error. While it is not a game-breaker, it is still very annoying for all those who are not very familiar with D&D or Pen&Paper in general. For them, this can be quite confusing.
That the bug has been in the game since the end of last year and is only now being properly understood is also a bit strange. But at least players have been able to make sense of it now. Therefore, it is probably only a matter of time before it gets fixed in an upcoming patch.

The Twitch streamer Richard “FaZe Banks” Bengston has just found an unusual hero on the internet. However, he is not really keen on the fuss.
What kind of guy is he? Richard “Ricky” Bengston, better known as “Banks”, is the founder of one of the largest e-sports organizations in the world, FaZe Clan. Instead of focusing on sporting success, FaZe Clan primarily relies on cool content creators.
This has given the organization a huge presence on social media, but it doesn’t always shine in a good light.
Banks himself is hanging out with the tricky kick streamer Adin Ross (via X) and had a video, in which he talks about a “crypto controversy”, sponsored by the controversial online casino Stake (via X). So he is not exactly the type of guy you first think of when you hear the term “hero”.
However, that changed when he supported a member of FaZe Clan in a crisis.
The Twitch streamer Lacy is also a member of FaZe Clan. Here you can see him in action.

Why was he declared a hero now? This involved the FaZe streamer Sketch. He experienced a storybook rise on Twitch in 2024. In July, a YouTuber exposed the streamer’s past: Sketch allegedly distributed homosexual explicit content on the paid platform OnlyFans.
Sketch later said in a stream that the fear of his past coming to light had long hung over him. In case it became known, he had a “not very good” plan.
When images from his previous job went viral, Sketch left the FaZe house and apparently left behind his glasses and a pair of shoes, making his way to the airport. It cannot be ruled out that the streamer wanted to harm himself or considered it.
Banks, however, stood by Sketch in a post on X: “All the FaZe guys were there for him last night. Sketch was my homie yesterday, he is my homie today and he will be my homie tomorrow.” He also posted a chat history in which he encourages the streamer to come back to the house and comforts him.
In a stream, Sketch later expressly thanked Banks. If he had been alone at home, he might not be talking to his fans now, according to the streamer. For many, it was clear: the FaZe founder has practically saved Sketch’s life. Fans called him a hero on social media – however, he doesn’t really feel comfortable with that.
What does he say about it? In another post on X, Banks explains that the “‘hero’ comments and the ‘you saved his life’ stuff” are “a little uncomfortable.” He doesn’t feel worthy of the praise, he just did what he would wish from any decent person.
The events surrounding Sketch have reminded him once again why he distanced himself from all the “internet crap” in the first place. People are so obsessed with approval and likes that they would put someone under so much pressure that they would really consider taking their own life.
Banks concludes: “Yesterday could have been a much darker day, and I just thank God that it went the other way.” You can see the whole post here:

Microtransactions often attract children and teenagers, who may not always have money for it. In the worst cases, the parents’ credit card is stolen for this purpose. In the Twitch stream, Asmongold reacted to a boy who did exactly that – for Roblox cheats.
What happened? In a recent stream, Asmongold reacted to a video from his subreddit. In the clip, a boy is seen streaming on Discord and is currently arguing with his mother. She accuses him of stealing her credit card since purchases have been made using her number.
The boy denies it and is typing something on the PC. However, the argument escalates and becomes loud. The other participants in the Discord call simply say: Yes, you did. The argument continues for another 1-2 minutes until the call eventually ends.

Asmongold enjoys the situation
How does Asmongold react to the video? In his reaction, the streamer seems amused by the video. He also reacts to the boy’s spending, who apparently bought 10 things with the credit card.
What amuses him most is the reason why the boy needed the credit card: Roblox. However, he didn’t need it for microtransactions; according to Asmongold, the boy wanted to give someone money to buy him cheats.
One statement from the boy particularly stood out to the streamer. During the argument, he says to his mother: I hate this stupid house. Not only a comment on Reddit but also Asmongold cannot believe it because his room looks better than that of most professional streamers.

In The First Descendant, you can complete a quest line for Bunny. One of these quests is called “In Their Footsteps.” We will show you how to complete it here.
Bunny is currently very popular in The First Descendant and is one of the most favored descendants. Many players are interested in Bunny builds or the unlocking of Ultimate Bunny.
If you have unlocked the normal version of Bunny during the campaign, you can play a quest line for the nimble sprinter. One of the first quests in the series is called “In Their Footsteps” and tasks you with finding a hidden recording of Bunny’s parents.

Complete “In Their Footsteps” and find the recording
Once you have accepted the quest “In Their Footsteps,” you need to open the world map and travel to the region “Barren Land.” There, select the outpost named “Quarantine Zone” in the eastern part of the area.
After you spawn, run out of the outpost heading south. You will see a kind of factory complex there. Traverse the factory complex all the way to the southern map edge – run really far until you stand at the cliff – then move west.
You will no longer be walking on the factory floor but on a sandy surface. After a few meters, you should discover another small, lowered area. There you will find the recording.
In the images, you can see the location of the recording on the map as well as a screenshot of the position:

In the notes for the hotfix, there are also comments from the Game Director. He mentions builds of the descendant Gley with the weapon Tamer, allowing players to have an infinite magazine. However, he explains that players shouldn’t be worried. While the build is quite strong, it is still within the intended framework.
Another topic is allegedly variable drop rates. The director denies this, stating that there are no variable drop rates, and everything is fixed as indicated in the game. This apparently has been tested again.
At the same time, he announces that they are preparing ways for an improved farming experience. However, which ones exactly are not mentioned here.
In addition to the changes mentioned above, there are also further changes that primarily addressed bugs and the PC. On the next page, you can find the complete hotfix notes in English.

Next week, a new extraction shooter will launch on Steam, aiming to impress with loot, fast-paced top-down battles, and remote-controlled robots. You can learn more about it here on MeinMMO.
Which game are we talking about? Shell Runner is a new PvE extraction looter shooter set to launch on July 15, 2024, looking to captivate you with an intriguing cyberpunk setting. The game is developed by indie developer Reija and published by indie.io.

In Shell Runner you have to prove yourselves in top-down battles
Next week, the extraction shooter will then launch on Steam in Early Access. This phase is set to last between three and six months, allowing developers to address bugs, improve gameplay, and deliver new content.
What can you expect? As the trailer shows, Shell Runner throws you into a colorful cyberpunk setting with fast-paced top-down battles. According to the official description on the Steam page, it is supposed to be a tactical shooter that mixes looter-shooter with extraction gameplay.
You can face off against enemies solo or with other players in either co-op or PvE mode. You take on the role of a so-called shell runner, who works for anyone willing to pay enough.
In battle, you control the so-called shells, a type of remote-controlled robot. You can customize these individually to match your preferences and play style. The game is supposed to offer you 20 different shell models.
To secure your loot, you must reach a specific extraction point with it. If your shell is destroyed before then, you lose both the loot and your equipment. You are also promised that no run will be like the other. Procedurally generated maps and boss battles with random sequences are designed to ensure this.
The players of Escape from Tarkov are tough: After all, every match is a matter of life and death. Mercy does not exist in their world. But there is one player they can’t handle: It is said that he is not a human, but a ‘Tarkinator’. Because the player has already spent 14,288 hours in the game.
This is what distinguishes Escape from Tarkov: Escape from Tarkov is the mother of all ‘extraction shooters’:
Players hunt in an area where they can kill NPCs and collect loot, but they can also be killed by other players who then take the loot for themselves
Escape from Tarkov is considered a ruthless and tough shooter, where only the best make big loot
Many players consider themselves so good that anyone who is better must actually be cheating – but it doesn’t always seem to be the case

The post is titled: ‘Sometimes you think they’re cheating, but then you realize: They are just the Tarkinator.’
In the comments, some teasing occurs:
‘Hey, you found Captain Unemployed!’
‘His mom pays him to play Tarkov so he doesn’t scare the neighbor’s kids’
‘His hour count shows that he plays Tarkov as a full-time job. For 6.7 years, 40 hours a week’

While there is an item reset in Tarkov, the experience remains
Do so many hours provide an advantage? Yes, of course. Although progress is regularly reset in Escape from Tarkov, the player experience remains.
In another thread on reddit, a player talks about how everyone who kills him has at least 2,000 hours in the game. The player says: He himself has been playing for a month and wonders if there are even new players.
He is told. At the end of a cycle, it is always like this. Only the ‘Sweaters‘ are playing. Only after a reset of progress will new players come back.
Escape from Tarkov suffers like many shooters from cheaters – especially in Tarkov, the frustration caused by cheaters is particularly high because players have so much to lose when they die. After years, a system is now in place in the shooter that aims to put an end to cheating: Escape from Tarkov puts a bounty on cheaters and rewards snitching

In Hardcore mode of Diablo 4, you permanently lose your character if they die. A player recently experienced this because they were too naive. They had just reached max level shortly before.
Reaching level 100 in Hardcore mode is a significant achievement. Especially in the endgame, even individual enemies can cause your characters to die, and you lose them. And a death in HC mode is permanent – there is no respawn.
A player reports on Reddit about the particularly frustrating death of their necromancer in Diablo 4. They had painstakingly leveled up to level 100, only to die a few minutes later in a boss fight. They did not know what they were getting into.

How are other players reacting? Under the Reddit post, the community is discussing the necromancer’s death. The top comment with over 800 upvotes is from “imwear.” He writes: “Did you just try to defeat the Echo of Lilith right after reaching level 100?” To this, “Caligrya” replies that he did not know what he was getting into. This clearly shows his naivety.
User “Overall-Apartment-16” comments: “That will be your last stupid mistake.” But “Caligrya” responds: “No, probably not. But I certainly won’t do that again.” Others comment that his necromancer “at least looked damn cool.”
And “AlphaEpsilonX” asks in the comments how people even manage to get to level 100 in Hardcore mode without encountering the Butcher early and dying. “Caligrya” says he fought against him ten times in total. It gets easier if you have a good build. However, another player died to the stubborn foe. And the community reacts in surprise: The toughest opponent in Diablo 4 has become a joke – now he takes bitter revenge.
