FB Streamer was Hacked due to a "turn-on" Text Notification during his Live Stream

If you or you have friends doing stream especially in mobile devices, make sure to remind them to turn-off the text notification when streaming because some of your viewers might hacked without you knowing. This is what happens when to Facebook Streamer "COG – Bagito TV", he was hacked due to a "turn-on" text notification during his live stream.

Bagito TV reveals on his video titled "Pano ako nahack on stream!" that he was hacked by a viewer that was friendly asking to add him on Facebook. It turns out the real motives of the viewer was to "forgot password" his account.

The hacker was able to get the text confirmation code during the livestream because of the "turn-on" text notification which shows all text messages straight to his live stream.

Some of his fans were able to notify Bagito that someone was trying to forgot password his account. The hacker was able to access his account changing his IGN and able to takeover it.

Few hours later, he was able to recover his account with the help of his manager.

Although this kind of hacked happens to streamer who are using mobile phone either from AppMirror and OBS, Bagito TV reminds other streamers to become aware of this kind of incident. Make sure to check phone updates and always turn off any notification during stream.

Have you experience this kind of incident before? Let us know in the comment section.


Genshin Impact hackers allegedly able to keep stolen account if they spent money on it

A reddit user named u/Rabbit-Outside posted a screenshot on subreddit (r/Genshim_Impact) about his conversation with the support team of Genshin Impact where he asked help to recover his hacked account. Through a screenshot, he claimed that miHoYo recognized that his account was stolen but they refused to help because the hacker already made many top-up on the stolen account responding "However, after the time your account is taken by someone, there are many Top-up after that, and this is dispute account situation, so that we couldn't help in this situation".

The Reddit user also said that it was stolen a month ago, he claimed that he had no confirmation code when his bind email address was changed. He then contacted miHoYo after the incident proving the ownership of his account. miHoyo responded that they need screenshots all of the purchase transaction as a proof to begin the restoration of his account. 

He waited about 3 weeks to get a response from them. In the response, he claimed, miHoYo confirmed that the account was stolen, but they could not simply recover the account because the people (hacker) who stole it already bought some top-up on the account.

He also added that he spent over 150 hours on the game before it was happened.

The reddit post now reaches over 20,000 upvotes. You can check it at https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/…/support_response_from_mihoyo/

As of the moment, there is no official statement from miHoYo about this matter.

Is it right for miHoYo to refused to recover the stolen account?

If the above screenshots are real, I think it is just right for miHoYo to refuse the account recovery. Because some players could abuse this service to make false claims for their gacha advantage. The only problem was the choice of words use in their response and without the assurance of banning the stolen account.

We all know that most top-up funds used in Genshin Impact are all for the gacha mechanics. What if someone who would abuse this method will legitimately reverse all of the payment done during it was claimed "stolen" and be able to keep all the consumable item that was used. 

It is also hard for the part of miHoYo to reverse all transactions made from the stolen account as they can only put negative to the amount of Primo Gem if reversal happen. The case for stolen account requires manual approach.


How to Use Campfire to Make BBQ Meats and Jam in LifeAfter

When you're stuck on the part of the initial mission "New Wilderness House" when you're with Andy and Murphy in LifeAfter, you probably do not know to use the campfire to make the barbequed meats and jam. Well, you're not alone especially you're new to the game and bombarded with lots of features in the game which makes it non user-friendly to everyone.

To use the Campfire, you need some wood and the main ingredients to use it. But you only need to get woods as Andy is already doing the task for ingredients, as she hunt for animals and some berries.

Instead of getting the ingredients, you were asked to equip axe and gather some woods from trees for the campfire.

After that, you need to talk to Andy to get the items she hunts which are the 4 x Meat and 2 x Berry.

How to ignite the Campfire

You already had the ingredients needed but when you click the Craft button, there are error message that is saying "Insufficient fuel. Wood or Help can be added as fuel".

Based from the error, you basically need to add fuel in the campfire. But not specifically fuel, which makes this task very confusing. You only need to add woods on the campfire to ignite it.

Press F to the campfire.

Then when the Simple Cooking window appear, at the Fuels on the bottom right corner of the screen, click the + button.

Then add some Woods.

Then press the Ignite button.

When you have enough fuel, you can now Craft the the Barbequed Meats and Jam.

Don't forget to claim it after cooking.

That's it! Hope this helps you from doing the adventure in the game.


Perfect World VNG Mobile Game Review

If you have been a fan of the 15-year-old MMORPG game, Perfect World VNG which was first released back in 2005 on PC. You will be grateful to see this game again on a new platform, this time on mobile devices. The journey begins when VNG Game Publishing releases a mobile version of the game, calling it Perfect World VNG. The game is currently available to selected countries in SEA (Southeast Asia) including the Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia, while Vietnam has separate servers. The mobile game was first released just this year, on August 20. 

Perfect World VNG lets you experience the nostalgic Perfect World game. Faithfully recreates the original PC version, it includes new improvements to the gameplay and many features that have never been tried before. Such as a marriage system, where you can get married with another player in-game. A dungeon system that will let players and their party to enter an instance to clear monsters and bosses.

An improved PVP system allows players to show their skill against another player. A Guild mode that players can bond together to create an enjoyable community and game experience.

As well as a mentorship system where you can help other players by becoming their master or help them to be your apprentice where both sides will grow faster doing the adventure. 

Classes on Perfect World VNG

To get started with the game, players can choose from three different races: Untamed, Humans and Winged Elf.

Each of these races has different classes inside where players can select a hero that fits on their preferences. 

Assassins (Untamed) – Built with Burst DPS, one of the unique skills of the Assassins among other classes is its ability to become invisible. You can hide from the enemy's eyesight allowing you to perfectly position your next attack. A handy skill that you can easily flee when you need to regenerate your health. The good thing about its invisibility is it gives additional 20% more damage. The advantage of being an Assassin is it gives extra damage against the enemies, especially when critical hit stat is in full gauge. While in team fights, Assassin is good for helping your teammates enough damage to the enemies. 

Vulpine (Untamed) – Aside from its damage and debuffs, Vulpine is the most unique character among all classes because it is the only class that you can get a pet with its pet taming mechanism. You can use it to assist you in PVP as well as the PVE. A Vulpine can also turn into a fox which increases your movement speed by 30%. It's ranged skill set and ability to heal itself, Vulipine is suitable for PVP with tanker squads. 

Barbarian (Untamed) – The only Tanker in the game, Barbarian has two forms, it can transform into a monster that highly increases its health points and a strong defense for protection. This makes Barbarian the ultimate tanker in the game. However, when switching back to its original form, its critical rate will increase giving you more damage against enemies. 

Wizard (Human) – Effective for damage and burst, Wizard's mobility skill set makes its damage per seconds (DPS) effective if you're in a party because of its wide-range attack. It can deal a large area of damage to the enemies and can defend its teammates with immense power. However, it's very low health can be fatal when you don't have a party around. 

Blade Master (Human) – Optimized for damage and control, the Blade master progression may slow at start as it requires you to do levelling and upgrading first for this class to be competitive. This class is effective as an end-game melee character. This class can use dual swords or other weapons like Hammer and Axe, it has a good balance of attack and defense good for controlling the crowd. 

Cleric (Winged Elf) – Supportive healing assist, this class is a must for all parties, she is responsible for healing teammates and giving buffs. Good for PVP and PVE battles. Though its damage is quite weaker, cleric ability to heal a high amount of health points and resistance. It's assisted attack can slow down the enemy movements. 

Archer (Winged Elf) – For damage flexibility, Archers are the class that can do single damage and wide-range damage to the enemies. Though some might find Archer difficult to play in the game, due to its low HP and weak defense, the damage is effective as well as its attack speed. Since it is a range attacker, you can easily fight enemies at a distance without taking direct damage from the enemies. 

Customizable Character

Though this feature is a trend to some MMORPG games, one key feature of the Perfect World VNG is the ability to customize your character in the game from faces like eye, eyebrows, nose, mouth, shape of face and even decorative features to body shapes. You can make your character look like you, a K –Pop celebrity or something funny. The possibilities are endless, and it depends on your creativity. 

Many video games feature similar character creation systems and mobile games are no exception. From head to toe, each of these offers players a wide-ranging character creation in which you can add your personal touch to it. 

Honestly speaking, before playing the game, it really took a lot of time customizing the character before your adventure begins. *grins* It gives some satisfaction and enjoyment at the same time to get creative as you customize your character's appearance. 

You will find a lot of people sharing their character customization when you join a community either on Facebook or Reddit.

Gameplay

The game is not just a ported mobile version of the original PC, it is a complete remake using the original storyline. The story started at the home of the three races Human, Untamed and Winged Elf at the capital of Perfect World, the Archosaur where it is invaded by the hordes of wraiths who seek to destroy all of creation.  

Perfect World VNG is so huge in terms of its open world map, the total land area is about 60,000 km2, about 12 percent the size of the Earth. 

Unlike the manual quest discovery on the PC version, the new game adapts portability for mobile which is the auto-navigation of quests which allows players to easily navigate to their quest to complete it. Though the "Pathfinding" of the game is not that deep that the game is still enjoyable without depending on the automation. It is just helping players to look for the exact coordinates of the quest for the assigned NPC and the objectives.  

If walking is not your thing, in Perfect World VNG, you can fly to reach your destination faster. You can use different types of wing or a ride a dragon, a bird, or even a sword to fly and roam around the beautiful scenery. You could also teleport to any maps at any times. 

In terms of playing the game with your friends, you can form a guild or a party to complete objectives. Adding a friend to your friend list is easy as long as you are on the same server.

Customer Support

In most MMORPG game, we think, customer support is the first thing in mind you should look for a game to know if the game is better. In terms of reporting bugs, and unfair hacks that destroy the game community, a GM or a customer support should be easily contacted when these things happen. 

Fortunately, Perfect World VNG has some of the active customer support. You can reach them anytime from their Facebook page or via in-game reporting. Knowing that a game cares for their players, you will automatically know how good this game is. 

Bringing back your old game today sounds like a dream, but VNG initiatives to put the game back to the mobile is just a dream come true. Perfect World VNG is an ongoing game where there are lots of events that are coming to the game every month, players will not get bored because not just of the update but because of the awesome community in the game. 

Based on Chinese mythology, Perfect World VNG is a 3D fantasy MMORPG developed by Chinese online-gaming company, VNG Publishing. The adventures await you! Perfect World VNG is now available in Google Play Store and iOS App Store. They are now waiting for your new adventure.

How to spot fake PS4 controller

You might encounter some people selling PlayStation 4 controller either from an online marketplace or from a local store in your area at a discounted price. Authentic PS4 controller cost around PHP 2,000 ($40) to PHP 3,000 ($60) and includes the complete package including the instructions manual.

Table of Contents

  1. Authentic Screw
  2. Micro USB Port
  3. Battery
  4. Touchpad

But if you happen to receive a controller without these packaging and it cost similar to the retail price, you might be skeptical if the product you bought are authentic. The main problem with the fake PS4 controller is it looks and perform very similar to the original and it will be very hard to find out.

The good news is there are an easy way to tell if the PS4 controller is a fake or original without dismantling your precious controller. This is by examining its parts and compare it with the original PS4 controller. If you don't have an original PS4 controller, we've added a side by side comparison picture below for your reference.

Authentic Screw

If you didn't know, Sony uses a custom screws in all of their PlayStation 4 peripherals and in the controller, they are using this screw that has circular pattern in it. Good thing with fake controller, they are using generic screw and that is the easiest way to spot if the controller is fake or now.

Below are the screw for authentic controller. If you notice, the screw has a some kind of a spiral pattern and the shape of the plus are a little bit small.

Comparing it with the counterfeit controller, the screw looks generic and the hole for the + are too big without any pattern on it.

Micro USB port

You can also check by how the micro USB port looks. However, you need a magnifier to check this one. Authentic controller has a gold pin at the top of the micro USB board, while the fake one is just plain.

Left controller is the original comparing it to the fake controller on the right, you'll notice that the board port on the original is rounded and the gold pin on the top doesn't expose. While the fake one the board port is not rounded and the 5 gold pin is clearly visible on the top.

Battery

Using fake controller easily degrade its battery because it is using generic lithium battery, far from the performance of the authentic. However, you will only notice this degradation after using the controller for years or month.

Touchpad

One thing you'll notice on fake controllers are that when you try to push the top portion of the touchpad, it is not clickable or impossible to press. You can check this by placing your pointing finger at the SONY logo and the touchpad, then try pushing the touchpad, if it easily click its authentic. If not, its 100% fake.

That's it! Hope this guide helps you identify counterfeit PlayStation 4 controllers.

LifeAfter x Resident Evil Crossover will Starts today

The second crossover event between NetEase Games' acclaimed post-apocalyptic survival game LifeAfter and Capcom's survival horror series Resident Evil™ will run from today (December 3rd) to December 17th. Players need to unite and deal the final blow to the Umbrella Corporation while earning the delicate items which are only available during the crossover. The event will introduce new outfits from iconic Resident Evil characters Jill Valentine and Albert Wesker. The Raccoon Police Department (R.P.D.) scene, along with outfits and themed items from the first crossover event will also return.

The second crossover event will introduce outfits of two more iconic characters — Jill Valentine and Albert Wesker. There will also be other new crossover-exclusive items, including a backpack and picture frame. Meanwhile, the Leon S. Kennedy and Ada Wong outfits and other Resident Evil-themed items from the first crossover event will make a return during the new event. With these add-ons, players will be able to enjoy a more immersive Resident Evil-style survival horror experience.

In addition, the second crossover scene from the ominous R.P.D. will also make a return, with appearances of iconic enemy bosses from various Resident Evil games. From the moment players set foot in the dangerous R.P.D., they must wipe out the Infected and then face Tyrant from Resident Evil 2 in a battle of wits. Players must decode locked chests and collect the three medallions required to unlock the secret tunnel to escape from Tyrant's pursuit! In the deepest recesses of the secret tunnel, players will face off against one of four final bosses selected at random – Majini, G (Stage 2), Nemesis or Tyrant.

Boss Skills Introduction:

  • G (Stage 2): G (Stage 2) quickly rushes towards players with its huge and twisted sharp claw. It will leap into the air to perform a heavy slam, which is an attack that players need to avoid that.
  • Executioner Majini: Dragging a great axe, the Executioner can knock players flying with his sweeping strike.
  • Tyrant: A major obstacle players need to deal with when collecting medallions, Tyrant is a relentless juggernaut that never stops chasing down its prey. It can knock players off with its deadly punches and charges from a long distance.
  • Nemesis: With a rocket launcher in one hand, Nemesis can lock onto a player's location, then launch a rocket after a few seconds to cause massive area damage. Tentacles can spring out of Nemesis' right palm to bind and drag players in front of it. Nemesis can also make a dizzying and deafening roar.

Alongside the crossover event, a prize draw event with awesome rewards will also be launched via the official LifeAfter social media community.

The second phase of the LifeAfter and Resident Evil crossover event is arriving today. Join the last fight together to deal the Umbrella Corporation a fatal blow and end the evil once for all!
