By the way, the current offer is thanks to the release of the new Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader, a CRPG set in the dark future. This is also from Owlcat and currently suffers from some teething problems, which are being patched over time. Unlike Pathfinder, Rogue Trader even offers a co-op mode.

If the fantasy setting doesn’t appeal to you, I can personally highly recommend Rogue Trader so far. In the first week, I already spent over 60 hours there and fully immerse myself in the rough, dystopian Warhammer world. A preview report on Rogue Trader will be released on Sunday. Alternatively, you can find the 10 best role-playing games on Steam here.

This is the event: Normally, the Community Day focuses on a special Pokémon each month. However, in December, there is a special version of the event: You will encounter all the Pokémon from the Community Days in 2023 again, and you also have a chance to catch those from 2022.

There are some really strong Pokémon involved, and on top of that, there are plenty of bonuses. To ensure you are well prepared for the event, you can find our guide to the Community Day here.

We will show you all spawns, bonuses and summarize what you need to know about the event.

Caution: So do not evolve your monsters on Saturday between 9 PM and the following Sunday at 9 AM, even though it falls between the two event days.

Warning for Cryptos: If you have a crypto variant of the event monsters and want to evolve them to obtain one of the special attacks, they must have forgotten Frustration. If they still know Frustration, you will not receive a special attack even through evolution.

Which attacks should you secure? We have a comprehensive overview of the best Pokémon and attacks for the Community Day in December 2023 here for you:

von Paul Kutzner

How to Make the Best Use of Community Day 2023

Prepare yourselves: During this Community Day, you will find plenty of monsters that you may already have. If you’ve missed certain Community Days, you should focus on the monsters you still lack or from which you still need the shiny.

Otherwise, there are also some strong attackers included that are always worth catching. These include, for example, Kapuno, Lichtel, Praktibalk, Togetic, or Milza. So set yourself goals for the Pokémon you want to catch. You can find a list of the best attackers in Pokémon GO here.

To ensure you can catch without interruptions:

Have enough Poké Balls with you
Create space in your storage

Use the filter function in Pokémon GO before the event to sort out which monsters you no longer need. By the way, the maximum space in storage has recently been increased.

What items do I need? The balls are the most important, but with additional items, you can make even better use of the bonuses.

Incense & Lures: Are active for 3 hours if you ignite them during the event. Tip: You can also do this shortly before the end to allow incense to run past 5 PM.
Hatching Machines: Ensure that your hatching machine is empty at the start of the event to make use of the halved distance.
With Star Pieces and Lucky Eggs you can further increase the Stardust or XP bonuses.
With Sananabeeren you will get double candy again

Destiny 2: Xur today – location and offer on 15.12.

Britta ♤ BeAngel 15. December 2023 Reading time 4 minutes

This week, with the snowballs, Xur is also visiting again for a weekend in Destiny 2. He is especially appreciated by new Guardians, who can quickly complete their collections thanks to him. MeinMMO will inform you where he is located and what he has in his offer.

What happened in Destiny this week? Bungie continues to pursue a lawsuit against a well-known cheating provider that is nearing its climax. AimJunkies, however, wanted to have the word ‘cheat’ banned for this important trial in front of a jury, as it sounds too much like fraud.

In Advent, there are of course also gifts from Destiny 2. This time, the current Legacy Edition is given away on EPIC. It normally costs 59.99 euros and is now available for 0.00 euros. However, you need to be quick.

For all fans of reflective days with friends, Destiny 2 offers the winter event until January 4, 2024. Here you can bake cookies, replenish your materials, play with friends together, and of course buy fancy armor ornaments for glimmer.

Destiny 2: 10 Rare Weapons and Perks You Should Keep and Never Delete

Britta ♤ BeAngel 15. December 2023 Reading time 9 minutes

For players of Destiny 2, the wait for the next DLC is extremely long. The end of the Light and Darkness saga had to be postponed. But it also has its advantages. During this time, you can accomplish things like cleaning out the vault or farming special treasures. Before you do that, you might want to know this list. It contains rare weapon legends and perk combinations that are really worth it in Season 23.

If you have these weapons, you’re cool: In Destiny 2, hunting for strong weapons and good perks is the main focus. Some are average, others are useless. However, there are also some very rare weapons and perks in the history of this game that you should not dispose of.

Some weapons are no longer available and so rare that their existence is almost forgotten.
Others are relics from past seasons and events in Destiny 2 that are still available.
Or they are very specific and strong perk combos that are so rare that you should definitely save or farm them.

All treasures have one thing in common: They are for some players more than just virtual pixels on the screen. They are expressions of skill, commitment, and perhaps even luck. Therefore, the mantra is: Do not delete them from your vault if you encounter them. CoolGuy has picked out a total of ten of these rare pieces for you in one of his latest videos, and we present them to you.

In the latest dungeon of Destiny 2, there are unique weapons:

Start video

Destiny 2: Dungeon “Ruins of the Warlord” holds a brittle secret

Autoplay

Rank 10: The perk “Tap A” on Burst Pistols

[toc]

Why is it so rare? Bungie made the decision at some point that the perk “Tap A” could no longer be found as often on burst pistols because it was incredibly strong and still is to this day. Currently, there are only two pistols in the game that can have this perk at all.

The legendary 2-shot pistol “Threshold Watcher” from the dungeon “Column of the Guardian”
As well as the legendary 3-shot burst Vanguard pistol “The Last Dance”.

After shooting, you get +40 stability, -50% recoil, and -10% accuracy for 6 seconds from “Tap A”. Automatic or rewound rifles have a time delay. Not so with these burst pistols.

They can practically always benefit from the perk and give you maximum stability and a huge aim assist consistently. So if you have one of these treasures in the vault, you should not delete the weapon, but unpack it in Season 23 and have fun with the firearm.

Can you still get it? Yes. Even though the perk is incredibly strong and Bungie does not bring it very often anymore, it is still available in the game. We recommend that you focus on the 3-shot burst “The Last Dance”. You can currently get it from the “Dares of Eternity” if these weapons are in rotation – from December 19 to 26.

Rank 9: “Flinchback-Choke” Shotguns

Why is it so rare? In 9th place, we have the rare shotgun perk combo, “Flinchback” and “Choke”, which should also not be disposed of. Even in difficult situations, it keeps you safe from flinch counterattacks and can still hit hard.

Thanks to “Flinchback”, you have an overshield when using this weapon.
“Choke” increases damage by 50% for five seconds after a successful melee attack or three shots fired, +30 improved handling and +30 faster reload speed.

This is a powerful shotgun shot, and the first shot will effortlessly break through the shield due to its force, no matter what content it is in Destiny 2.

Can you still get the weapons? There are only two shotguns that can have this special combination, and those are “Windrose” and “Ikelos_SG_V1.0.3”. “Windrose” hits enemies harder. However, this perk combo was only found on the original version of the weapon, and you can no longer farm it.

The Ikelos_SG_V1.0.3 hits faster and is still available. To get it, stop by the “Prophecy” dungeon. There, it can drop from the additional loot boxes that can be found there. Or you can regularly visit the gunsmith Banshee-44 in the Tower and hope for your luck.

Rank 8: “Psi Hermetic V” Stasis Pulse Rifle

Why is the weapon so special? The pulse rifle “Psi Hermetic V” is the only self-triggering “Gravestone” weapon in the entire game. So be sure to save it.

Why? It has the origin perk “Wildcard” for PvE and can automatically destroy Stasis crystals. This treasure is rounded off by the availability of the perk “Golden Tricorn” which is useful in PvP.

Thanks to “Wildcard”, there is a chance with annihilations using this weapon to create experimental scatter ammo at the target’s location, and this then instantly destroys your created Stasis crystals. Great in PvE.
For PvP, “Psi Hermetic V” is also the only pulse rifle with piercing casing, which is also available with the perk “Golden Tricorn”. So the perk “Kill Clip”, but without needing to reload, because the duration of the 50% damage buff can be refreshed by another kill with the appropriate ability.

Can you still get the weapons? Yes. Bungie has packed such treasures into the Legendary Lost Sectors. So you can still farm the weapon there. Additionally, it is occasionally available from the gunsmith Banshee-44 in the Tower. So lucky are the Guardians who should already find this treasure in their vault.

Rank 7: Hip Fire Fioritura-59

Why is the weapon so special? In 7th place is once again a pistol, namely “Fioritura-59”. It is the only weapon in Destiny 2 that drops with “Hip Fire Grip” and “Hand Cannon”.

The pistol generally has a base aim assist of about 15 meters. If “Hand Cannon” is active, it increases to 22.5 meters.
But with “Hip Fire Grip”, it’s even more awesome for the fight in the air – even without Icarus grip. You also get bonuses like +25 on stability, +17 on accuracy, and also range.

“Fioritura-59” is the only pistol that is really competitive with this perk combination.

Can you still get the weapon? If you do not have this weapon yet, you can unfortunately only get it by luck. Again, Banshee-44, the gunsmith, is your point of contact.

Rank 6: “Head Seeker” Pistols

Why is this perk so special? When the perk “Head Seeker” was buffed by Bungie, many 2- and 3-shot pistols really took off, as the perk lasts for 0.55 seconds.

Thanks to “Head Seeker”, body shots temporarily increase precision damage and aim assist, and dealing additional non-precision damage updates the timer.

With this perk, the pistols “Senuna SI6” or “High Albedo” drop, for example.

Can you still get the weapons? Yes. “High Albedo” is still available on Europa. You need to go to Variks for that. “Senuna SI6” is currently available from the rotations in the Legendary Lost Sectors.

On the next page, we will tell you which legendary solar bow is better than an exo weapon.

LEGO Fortnite: Fast Travel – how you can travel faster

Sophia Weiss 15. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Unfortunately, there is (still) no traditional fast travel like in Skyrim in LEGO Fortnite. However, there are some tricks to help you travel faster. In this guide, we present them to you.

Walking is the first and easiest means of transportation in LEGO Fortnite. However, it is also the slowest. If you want to give your movement a real boost, we have three stylish options for you here.

Build yourself a car

A car in LEGO Fortnite does not need as many components as a real vehicle. Of course, you don’t need a driver’s license either. A guide can help though, and you can find one here in our detailed guide on building: LEGO Fortnite: Building a car with a steering wheel – It’s that easy

Start video

Epic Games shows LEGO Fortnite in the cinematic trailer

Autoplay

Build yourself a glider

Your character has a total of four equipment slots. One of them can be used for the glider. Once you have built and equipped one, you can jump from any elevated point and pull the glider with another click of the jump button. This way, you can quickly glide over the map.

You will need the following for a glider:

1 workbench (at least at level rare)
8 softwood sticks
4 wool fabrics
4 silk fabrics

If your workbench is not yet ready for the glider, you can read in our guide how to level it up to rare and epic.

Build yourself an airship

While you still need an elevated point to jump off for the glider, you can move upwards directly from the ground with a simple airship. For this, you will need the following materials. You can find all items under “Toys”:

1 dynamic foundation
1-2 large nozzles
1 activation lever
4 small balloons

And here’s how to combine everything: First, build the dynamic foundation. Then attach the nozzle(s) to one edge of the foundation. Now jump onto the foundation and attach the activation lever. With the lever, you can control the nozzles. Lastly, just attach the balloons.

With this, you have a simple flying platform that quickly takes you from A to B. However, if you’re up for a challenge and really motivated, this build from reddit could be exciting for you:

Here’s a tip: You can craft small and large balloons. They vary in their respective lifting capacity. The bigger and more complex your aircraft is, the more balloons it needs to lift the platform into the air. It’s best to test which balloons in which size are most useful for your purposes.

How do you prefer to get around in LEGO Fortnite? Have you also built a vehicle, or are you still diligently walking across the map? We look forward to your comments.

LEGO Fortnite: Increase Armor – here’s what you need for it

Nicole Wakulczyk 15. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

In LEGO Fortnite, you can expect not only friendly animals and NPCs but also numerous enemies and other dangers. We explain how to increase your armor to protect yourself in the guide.

Here’s how to increase your armor in LEGO Fortnite: In LEGO Fortnite, you increase your armor value not through special clothing, but through items you can craft at your workbench. This includes amulets and jewelry. These items not only increase your armor but also grant you a health bonus in the form of hearts and sometimes even provide additional effects.

You can see the bonus to armor and hearts at the top right in the item overview. The bonuses are stacked. You have a total of 4 slots for armor and can equip 3 items of the same type:

These amulets and pieces of jewelry you can craft:

Item	Armor	Hearts	Effect	Materials
Condition Amulet	+1	+1	–	3 Silk Thread, 3 Bones, 5 Wolf Claws
Condition Amulet (uncommon)	+3	+2	–	3 Silk Thread, 1 Marble, 1 Armor
Condition Amulet (rare)	+5	+3	–	3 Wool Thread, 3 Polished Amber, 3 Sand Claws, 3 Softwood Sticks
Heart Totem (uncommon)	+5	+3	additional condition	3 Wool Thread, 5 Polished Amber, 5 Sand Armor, 6 Sand Claws
Cold Jewelry (uncommon)	+5	+3	Resistance to Heat	3 Silk Thread, 1 Marble, 3 Sand Armor
Amulet of Inner Fire (rare)	+7	+4	Resistance to Frost	3 Wool Thread, 5 Polished Ruby, 8 Brightcore, 3 Explosion Core
Resistance Jewelry (rare)	+7	+4	grants additional defense after taking damage	3 Wool Thread, 5 Copper Ingots, 5 Obsidian Tablet, 10 Sand Armor
Regeneration Jewelry (rare)	+7	+4	regenerates condition over time	3 Wool Thread, 5 Copper Ingots, 3 Monster Scale, 10 Raw Amber
Immortality Totem (rare)	+7	+4	revives you (item self-destructs afterwards)	3 Wool Thread, 5 Polished Amber, 5 Obsidian Tablet, 1 Sand Monster Scale

for items with additional requirements, you need a workbench of the same level (uncommon/rare)

this is how you upgrade your workbench in LEGO Fortnite

There are also epic variants of the items that each give you 14 armor and 5 hearts (via Dot Esports). As soon as we unlock these in the game, we will update the table.

Start video

Epic Games shows LEGO Fortnite in the cinematic trailer

Why should I increase my armor? In LEGO Fortnite, there are various enemies in all biomes. Especially stronger enemies, like the giant monsters, can often deal a lot of hearts with just one hit, meaning you would die too quickly without armor.

This is especially frustrating in Survival mode, as you lose your inventory there (at least, if you haven’t changed it in the settings) and spawn at your base. This means you would have to return to the area with the strong enemies to pick up your backpack – or you lose everything that is in it.

Bonus Tip: There are meals you can make at the grill to temporarily increase your health in the form of hearts. For example, grilled meat gives you +2 hearts.

If you happen to die and need to run to your backpack, we have a suitable guide for you, with which you can build a car: LEGO Fortnite: Build a car with steering wheel – It’s that easy

A team in 7 vs. Wild has big problems – even with the rescue it is struggling

Cedric Holmeier 15. December 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

In the current episode 7 vs. Wild, a team sets out to find drinking water and goes way too far in the process. When they cannot find drinking water and want to be picked up, the rescue team is no longer able to locate them.

Attention, this article contains spoilers for episodes 1–14 of 7 vs. Wild Season 3

Who is setting out and why? The team of Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler (29) and Wieland “Rumathra” Welte (27) embarks on a journey in the current episode to find drinking water. The stream, which has been dwindling more and more in the last episodes, now carries so little water that the quality of the water is suffering. The team decides to pack all the important things and walk to the next drinking water source.

The participants did not want to simply wait out the last few days. According to their statements, they might have managed to last the rest of the time, but saw no point in just sleeping and lying in bed for 4 days to conserve their water resources.

In fact, such a long journey is not allowed; the contestants are supposed to stay in the vicinity of the drop-off location so that a rescue can be carried out smoothly.

How far have the two walked? The two have walked about 6 kilometers. Although the team has hardly any energy left on day 10, they made the final attempt to find drinking water. They walked for about 4 hours until they finally arrived at the spot of the eliminated participants Fritz Meinecke (34) and Martin “SurvivalMattin” Rudloff (40). As with the other contestants before, Trymacs and Rumathra do not find fresh water at the spot.

After some time, the two decide to send the “Code-Yellow” signal, which indicates an elimination from the season and a pick-up. Without fresh water, the participants cannot survive.

One of the participants in Season 3 is the Twitch streamer Jens “Knossi” Knossalla. You can see more about him in our video.

The rescue team arrives, but the participants are not there

Why were the participants not found? Due to their march, Trymacs and Rumathra have now arrived at the spot of Fritz Meinecke and SurvivalMattin. However, with a “Code-Yellow” signal, the rescue team is scheduled to go to the participants’ spot. Therefore, the participants were 6 kilometers away.

When a local search operation failed, the rescue team received a location for the participants. A rescue worker can hardly believe their eyes.

“They are making it hard for us today, right? These two nerds are walking nearly 6 kilometers around here, even though they are completely exhausted. They are heroes.”
Rescue worker at 7 vs. Wild Season 3 Episode 14

Upon arriving at the spot of Fritz Meinecke and SurvivalMattin, where Trymacs and Rumathra had already been waiting for some time, the rescue proceeded apparently smoothly. The team was able to be brought to safety by boat and has been eliminated.

How are the remaining teams doing? The wildcard team experienced loud wolf howls last night, but seems not to be concerned about it. Most of the time in the episode, they spend with their daily activities, finding and preparing snails, fishing, and making fire. The freshly found tools from their outing in the last episode make their life in the wilderness even easier. The team seems to be in good spirits and confident of victory.

What is going on with Papaplatte and Reeze? The two are looking for new materials for their bed in this episode because the past nights have not been very pleasant for the team. Also, as the nights are getting colder, the team is now exhausted. In the last episodes, the team was repeatedly plagued by illnesses. Today, the team is taking water again, mixed with Elotrans, to balance their mineral intake. They also want to spend the last night on the beach; currently, they are sleeping inland.

Knossi recently rented the Big Brother house and invited some of his 7 vs. Wild colleagues, including MontanaBlack.

How are Knossi and Sascha doing? After the feces finding from last night, the team is being more cautious regarding wolves. The two decide to build some kind of door for their shelter to protect against potential attacks.

The two are successful in fishing again in this episode. Even though a net is now broken, they have caught by far the most fish at 7 vs. Wild.

Rebel Moon Review without Spoilers: Not a ‘Star Wars’ killer, but definitely a beautiful science fiction epic for Netflix

Leya Jankowski 15. December 2023 Reading time 5 minutes

MeinMMO Editor-in-Chief Leya Jankowski draws a conclusion about “Rebel Moon – Part 1: Child of Fire” without spoilers. She would recommend the film to any science fiction fan.

It’s always a thing with hype.

When Rebel Moon was announced, my eyes were wide. Director Zack Snyder has never completely disappointed me so far. He always delivers impressive visuals and knows how to stage action spectacularly.

Just the trailer for Rebel Moon made my mouth water. Especially after all the disappointments of the past years in the “Star Wars” universe. I still haven’t recovered from the Obi-Wan series…

The comparison to Star Wars was always obvious in the visuals:

Rebel Moon – Teil 1: Kind des Feuers | Offizieller Trailer von Netflix

The trailer immediately reminded me of the dark film Rogue One, which features some of the best space battles in the “Star Wars” universe.

Watch Rebel Moon without Star Wars in mind

Of course, the media quickly filled with terms like “Star Wars killer” and that a competitor to the saga from a galaxy far, far away is coming our way. That would probably have been Netflix’s wish itself.

Well, that is not to be expected here. And not necessary either. Rebel Moon is closer to the source material for Star Wars than to Star Wars itself.

Zack Snyder was heavily inspired by Akira Kurosawa’s “The Seven Samurai”, just as George Lucas was for his Star Wars. The story tells of a group of samurai hired by farmers to protect their village from predatory bandits – and this sums up the entire plot of Rebel Moon. If you are not familiar with this masterpiece, I will leave you a link to the IMDb page of “The Seven Samurai”.

Rebel Moon is also much more brutal and darker than Star Wars. Barbaric murders are shown, and even the topic of rape as a war crime is not shied away from. If you want to watch the film with a younger audience, I recommend checking in advance if it is suitable for this younger audience.

Try to free yourself from the thought of getting the next Star Wars here and then you will see Rebel Moon with different eyes.

The next ‘Star Wars’ movie that cannot be one

von Linda Knabe

Visuals and world-building are top-notch

The big highlight for me is clearly the world itself.

A vast universe is created, with various planets, each having their own population and culture. At the center is a conflict in this universe, as there has to be a place to rebel.

I particularly enjoy the creative and lovingly designed aliens. They range from a giant spider woman to a small parasite that makes its host speak.

As I had hoped from Zack Snyder, there are always images in this film that I would hang on my wall. Especially in the village where the protagonist Kora lives, I feel like I can smell the grain in the fields.

I was able to see the press screening in the cinema. It’s a shame that most will only see the film at home on Netflix. The visual power is really made for the big screen.

Even the fights of individual people look impressive. This also has to do with the use of slow motion and strong close-ups.

Who is writing here? Leya Jankowski is the editor-in-chief of MeinMMO and has been dealing with stories her whole life. She doesn’t care whether they are told in games, books, comics, or on the big screen. On Leya’s Twitter and her Letterboxd, you will find more opinions on films and series.

Flat plot, bland characters, over-the-top villains

Now we come to the crux of Rebel Moon, which could lead to disappointment.

The story of the film has certainly been seen a few times before. There are no surprises. Personally, I don’t always need surprises if the plot is still coherent and well told.

What frustrates me about Rebel Moon is how the characters are treated.

The cast is super well chosen and all the characters have something interesting about them. The assembly of this gang could lead to exciting dynamics. However, Rebel Moon only scratches the surface here. Meanwhile, the assembling of this group is so central to the film.

Especially Nemesis (top left in the picture) has captivated me. The warrior is known for her deadly sword fighting and has mechanical prosthetics that replace her arms from the elbow down. This allows her to heat her swords to glowing temperatures, giving them that lightsaber look, which you can also see in the trailer.

You hardly get to learn anything about all these backgrounds, as all nine characters have to be introduced in the film.

My colleague Vali from GameStar also saw Rebel Moon. When we talked about it, he mentioned that it probably would have worked better as a mini-series, where each episode focuses on a character – and I absolutely agree with him! I would have liked to see that. Here you can read his review:

Rebel Moon Part 1 in the film review: The big Star Wars competitor unfortunately turns out to be a dud (via GameStar)

The same goes for the villains, who are really very, very evil. One doesn’t even wonder if there are moral gradations involved.

They are all just really eager for war and destruction and torture.

To fulfill all clichés, the villains just need a German accent.

Good entertainment for a Netflix night

Despite my criticisms, I felt well entertained by Rebel Moon. Therefore, I would recommend the film to any science fiction fan. Especially if you already have a Netflix subscription. You really can’t go wrong there.

At least the first part “Child of Fire” has already whetted the appetite for the second part. I hope the second part can manage to build more character depth. Otherwise, it would be a shame if the actually nice assembly of characters completely fizzles out.

I’m sure Netflix expected more from this. Unfortunately, in the end, there’s just too little that sticks with you after the film. A good story stands and falls with its characters, who are our travel companions.

But that shouldn’t bother you out there.

Just approach the whole thing with the appropriate expectations, lean back on your sofa, and let yourself be entertained by the beautiful visuals.

When does Rebel Moon release on Netflix? From December 22, you can watch Rebel Moon on the streaming service. Rebel Moon – Part 2: “The Scar Maker” will be released on April 19, 2024.

The makers of Fortnite have apparently figured out how expensive a shop can be before it is too much for gamers

Benedict Grothaus 15. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Epic Games now offers several other games, including Rocket League and Rocket Racing, a racing mode for Fortnite – where there are virtual car skins to buy. However, the prices in the shop were so outrageous that players complained loudly, and Epic is now responding.

These are the expensive cosmetics:

Rocket Racing has been playable since December 8 and offers an in-game shop where you can customize the appearance of your cars. Some of the newer bundles cost 4,000 V-Bucks. These are just skins for existing cars.
V-Bucks are a virtual currency that you can only buy in bundles.
The cheapest options are 4 x 1,000 V-Bucks for a total of 35.96, or 5,000 V-Bucks for 36.99 €.

These are the reactions: Just shortly after release, there was much anger over the expensive prices in the shop of Rocket Racer (via Reddit). Players found that around 40 euros or dollars were too much for a skin for a single car.

There were comparisons about what else you could do with that money. Popular games like Hollow Knight could be bought twice for that, and even five times if on sale. Particularly strong criticism was directed at the apparent target audience:

Children have no concept of value. If they like [the skin] and their parents can afford it, they buy it. And considering that Epic caters to younger players and builds on this, someone must have thought that made sense.

Another user claims: His cousin is 13 and bought V-Bucks for 60 dollars and squandered them within 3 weeks. Others say: for that much money they could just fill their car’s gas tank in real life.

Epic responds to complaints, lowers the price

Epic now explains on the official X channel that the prices will be lowered. Bundles that cost 4,000 V-Bucks now cost 2,500 V-Bucks, those for 2,500 will be lowered to 1,500.

This corresponds to bundles worth 23 € and 20 € – in the cheapest case.

Additionally, there will be a partial refund. Those who purchased bundles at the higher price will receive the difference credited in V-Bucks.

The discussion about prices in the shop has quickly heated up, especially since it has been an ongoing debate in gaming for some time. Recently, there was similar trouble with Diablo 4. There is a shop in the full-priced game, which has upset many fans.

However, Epic asked for significantly more here than Blizzard did. In the shop of Diablo 4, the most expensive packages were as heavy as the now discounted version of the cars in Rocket Racer. To my shame, I have to admit, that I purchased at least one of these shop skins for 25 €.

Expert says no one should be able to complete the new dungeon in Diablo 4 – players are doing it anyway

Benedict Grothaus 15. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Zir’s Abattoir, or originally: The Abattoir of Zir, is a new dungeon in Diablo 4. It provides unique rewards and becomes increasingly difficult over 25 levels. Experts said that no one should be able to complete it. However, a Barbarian has now mastered the highest difficulty – and is supposedly not even the first.

What kind of challenge is this?

Zir’s Abattoir is essentially the same as the Greater Rifts from Diablo 3: you have a certain amount of time to kill enough enemies. As a reward, you get a unique glyph that you can level up to level 200.
The Abattoir has 25 levels, with the expert wudijo stating: the dungeon is not meant to be completed at all.
Initially, it did seem like that. Blizzard even intervened and significantly nerfed the Abattoir – now the first players have finished it.

This is how the Abattoir has now been defeated: As wowhead reports, a Chinese player has allegedly become the first in the world to defeat the Abattoir of Zir on level 25. He played as a “HOTA” Barbarian, which is a build with Hammer of the Ancients.

He also took advantage of the healing from Whirlwind. Overall, his strong self-healing helped him particularly in the fight against the last pack.

The player named Xingluoah took less than 9 minutes to complete the level. He has already leveled his glyph to level 140. According to wowhead, Xingluoah had been active in WoW and League of Legends for years before. Now he wanted to conquer Diablo 4.

We have already spoken with the devs about the future of Diablo 4:

Community says: “This is not the World First”

The news of the success of the Chinese player quickly found its way to Reddit. However, some users claimed that Xingluoah was not the first to defeat the Abattoir.

Many players had reported on Discord before him that they successfully completed level 25. These were mostly sorceresses, who currently have one of the strongest builds available.

However, tangible evidence is currently quite sparse, and Xingluoah has at least streamed all of his runs (via douyin).

Either way, it is an impressive achievement that one or more players have already conquered the Abattoir just a few days after its release. After all, it was actually labeled as “impossible”.

Especially for “casuals,” the new dungeon seems to be more of a torment than a pleasure. However, the recent changes have helped a lot:

Pokémon GO is celebrating the biggest C-Day 2023 this weekend – Here’s why it’s worth participating

Max Handwerk 15. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, you should check in this weekend if you have taken a long break and missed one or the other Community Day.

What kind of event is this? The Community Day in December 2023 holds a special place: All Pokémon from the past Community Days of this year will appear in the wild again.

Additionally, you can also catch the monsters from the Community Days of 2022 by hatching 2km eggs or challenging them in Level 1 raids.

When does the Community Day take place? The first part starts on Saturday, December 16, 2023, at 2:00 PM and ends at 5:00 PM. The second part follows on Sunday, December 17, 2023, also from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Moreover, you can catch the event monsters on both days from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM; however, there are different boosted spawns during the respective event times from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. This way, you can target the Pokémon that you are still missing.

You can find a guide to the Community Day in December 2023 with all spawns here.

Start video

Pokémon GO shows the new season “Timeless Travels” in the trailer

Who is the Community Day in December 2023 worth it for?

Basically, the day is a great opportunity to catch missing Pokémon and thus catch up on the Community Days that you might have missed. Let’s see for whom the weekend is worth it.

For collectors: The two days are an opportunity to collect the Pokémon from the Community Days you could not attend. As always, there is an increased shiny rate for the event Pokémon – so shiny collectors will also get their share. Additionally, rare 4-star Pokémon can also be well sought after this weekend, as you will see many specimens of the same monsters – but there is no guarantee for that, of course.

However, if you have participated in all Community Days this year and are only after the Pokédex entry, there is nothing new to catch in this event.

For fighters: The December Community Day brings some strong monsters, but also some that are less useful in raids or PvP. There are a few really good attackers if you evolve the Pokémon, such as Togekiss, Maxax, Mamutel, Meistagrif, or Despotar. At the same time, there are also some monsters that can be ignored.

To give you a quick overview: Here you find the best Pokémon and attacks at the C-Day in December 2023.

For leveling and bonuses: Apart from the spawns, you can also take advantage of the bonuses in the event. There are at least:

Increased shiny chance for the event Pokémon
Double catch XP
Double catch stardust
Double catch candies
Half hatch distance for eggs
Twice the chance of XL candies when catching (from Trainer Level 31)

These are useful bonuses, especially if you are trying to increase your trainer level or stock up on stardust. If you then use a lucky egg or a stardust boost, you can quickly raise your resources and XP in a short time.

If you are generally after XP: Here you find a guide to fast leveling in Pokémon GO.

In the Finals, everyone is currently complaining about the Heavy class, but a build can simply eliminate them

Cedric Holmeier 15. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

In the Finals, the Heavy is currently very strong. With its high HP and shield values, it can survive a long time in battle. However, there is a build that makes the Heavy no longer a problem.

Why is the Heavy so strong? The Heavy has a lot of health points by default. Additionally, it can use two different shields to stay alive even longer. The Heavy also has a variety of weapons with either high ammunition capacity or enormous melee damage.

The sledgehammer, the shotgun, or the Lewis machine gun are among the favorites of Heavy players. We have already reported on the 10 best weapons in the Finals.

What do the fans have to complain about? Even in the last Open Beta, the Heavy was a thorn in the side of many players. The Heavy seems unbeatable for many, especially when accompanied by Mediums with a healing device.

On Reddit, there are even memes about the absurdly long battles with Heavies. Fans simply find him too hard to deal with; his build is almost unbeatable in the Finals.

Start video

In The Finals you can live out your destruction rage – Trailer for the Open Beta

There is a The Finals build that takes down any Heavy in a second

What build is it? To easily clear the Heavys out of the way, you need to play the Light class. Equip this with the SH1900 shotgun as the main weapon and the cloaking device as the specialization. Additional useful gadgets are the taser and the cloaking bomb.

How to play the build correctly? To play the build correctly in the Finals, you should sneak up on enemies unnoticed, preferably invisible, as close as possible and then stun them from behind with your taser.

Alternatively, you can also grab the shotgun right away and fight the enemy up close. You really need to get as close as possible to the enemy, especially with Heavys, so that your shotgun does as much damage as possible. If you hit both shots, every enemy is finished.

If you have taken down an enemy, you should quickly get away; as a Light class, you can withstand very little. It’s best to play in a group – we have explained how to do that here.

Here, a Reddit user played this build and really racked up kills:

Valve ““““ players now receive their ban in DOTA 2, packaging the punishment with nasty words

Jasmin Beverungen 15. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

In DOTA 2 there are currently “special gifts” going around. Players receive a message that they have received a “seasonal reward.” However, what is in the gift is likely to be disliked by most players.

What kind of gift is it? Players receive a highly toxic lump of coal that is meant to be a reference to their toxic behavior. The description makes it clear what the lump of coal is good for: nothing.

The affected players have received a permanent ban with the “gift.” Valve cites that the players engaged in smurfing or committed other violations of Steam’s guidelines.

In the past, Valve has frequently taken action against smurf accounts. The company recently banned 90,000 accounts of unfair players. However, in celebration of the Christmas season, the ban now comes in a nicely wrapped gift.

In DOTA 2, there were major changes recently with the New Frontiers update:

Start video

Dota 2 – The New Frontiers Update

Autoplay

Valve is taking action against smurf accounts and fans love it

What is smurfing?

Smurf accounts are secret secondary accounts of skilled players used in MOBAs and shooters with matchmaking systems. As the freshly created account encounters low-ranked players in matchmaking, the opposing team usually has no chance against the professional player.
Additionally, smurfers gain anonymity this way, and other players do not suspect who they are up against.
Players use smurf accounts to troll, insult, and behave unfairly towards other players. For this reason, smurfers are not well-regarded in the community.

The new players are thus already frustrated from the very beginning because they directly encounter high-ranking players. This diminishes the fun of the game, which is why Valve consistently takes action against the accounts. The “gift” to players who behave unfairly is well-received by other fans.

A new processor could become a hidden gem for gamers – not coming from either AMD or Intel

How does the community react to this? In the Reddit forum where the gift was posted, many users are delighted by Valve’s funny idea. They find it particularly amusing that the gift can only be accepted, and the player does not get the option to refuse the free coal.

Some fans write, for example:

captainrikes: ‘This is the ban you never knew you wanted! A surprise gift without the option for returns.’
siforacc: ‘Valve’s ban game is stronger than my Wi-Fi connection. They master the art of delivering justice with style.’
_W1LL14M_: I wish more developers would be so cheeky when banning hackers, smurfers, etc.

What is even better: Valve also seems to reward players who have behaved well recently. User ilovecfb writes that there will be cosmetic free items for players who have stood out positively.

Another player from DOTA 2 would probably deserve the same gift: Steam: ‘This is not flaming, this is atrocious’ – players demand permanent ban for Russian pro in DOTA 2

AMD and Nvidia are arguing about the fastest graphics card – In fact, the GPU is not aimed at gamers

Benedikt Schlotmann 15. December 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

AMD released a new graphics card, the MI300. Shortly after, Nvidia claimed that its own graphics card, the H100, is much faster. What does this dispute mean, even though these graphics cards are not for gamers?

A few days ago, on December 6th, AMD launched its new AI graphics card, the MI300 series. At the same time, it claimed to offer the fastest AI graphics card on the market and to beat the competition significantly. However, Nvidia did not take this lying down and stated that AMD was boasting with incorrect figures.

But why is this discussion and these AI GPUs so important that heavy artillery has to be deployed?

Two AI Graphics Cards Compete for the Top Spot

What is this GPU anyway? With the “Instinct MI300” series, consisting of two GPUs, AMD has introduced graphics cards for AI computations. The main competitor is Nvidia’s H100 and the new H200, which is expected to be released sometime in 2024.

The industry has been waiting for an alternative to Nvidia for a long time, and there is a good reason for that:

For months, prices have risen sharply, as Nvidia is struggling to keep up with production due to high demand.
Many are therefore waiting for a promising alternative to avoid having to buy the few available models at horrendous prices.
Especially the restrictions on the Chinese market have negatively impacted price developments for graphics cards.

What is behind the discussion? In its presentation, AMD stated that the MI300X is on par with the H100 in training and outperforms the H100 by 10-20% in inference. This is reported by colleagues from Forbes.

Nvidia responded with a corresponding blog post. Here, Nvidia explained, somewhat tersely, that AMD did not use optimized software for its shared data (via Nvidia.com):

At a recently held launch event, AMD discussed the inference performance of the H100 graphics processor compared to its MI300X chip. No optimized software was used for the shared results, and the H100 is 2x faster with proper benchmarking.

In this blog post, AMD’s claim that the latest chip, the MI300X, is to be 40-60% faster than Nvidia’s in generative AI inference processing is refuted. Nvidia explained that AMD simply used outdated software to generate the data. This can also be seen in the footnotes, where AMD would name the version of the program.

The direction is quite clear: Not only is a fast AI chip needed, but also optimized software so that the full computing power can be utilized.

AI Has Been Gaining Importance for Months

Why is AI so important for Nvidia and AMD? Nvidia has been actively investing in chips capable of handling AI computations for years.

The modern GeForce RTX graphics cards contain AI-specific Tensor Cores. These are used, for example, to perform ray tracing or DLSS via AI computations. And in large data centers, such as for ChatGPT, Nvidia GPUs are also used.

Therefore, there is also a large financial potential behind AI technology, which is also of interest to AMD. That is why they are also investing in the development of AI chips to capture at least some market share from the competition. There are currently rapid developments to stay ahead of the competition.

Next year, the situation is likely to look different again: With Nvidia’s H200 and a new AI graphics card from Intel, there will likely be strong competition again.

For this reason, the dispute over the fastest AI graphics card is so important: In the end, it is about a lot of money, which is also significant for investors holding AMD and Nvidia stocks.

Whining helped: WoW changes rewards because you all complained

Cortyn 15. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Sometimes complaining is worth it. World of Warcraft listens to the fans and changes one of the most coveted rewards for Night Elf fans.

The trading post in World of Warcraft is quite popular because it provides players with a lot of transmog options. However, a set that was soon to be in the hands of fans caused a lot of criticism. Because the prettiest set changes color depending on the time of day. Blizzard is now backtracking and giving everyone exactly what they want.

What kind of reward is this? We are talking about the “Burden of Unrelenting Justice” set. This is a transmog set that is used by the Night Elf Wardens. It is basically the iconic look of Maiev Shadowsong and the other Wardens, as seen in Legion.

The special feature of the set is that it changes color depending on the time of day. During the day, it is green, golden, and metallic, while at night it turns into a mix of white and silver.

How do you get the set? To obtain the set, you must fill the travel journal for a total of 12 months – that is, earn all the vendor currencies. This will be possible for the first time in January 2024, as the trading post started in February 2023.

If you miss one or more months, the reward will shift accordingly – you will still need to complete all 12 months.

What is changing now? After numerous complaints in the official WoW forum, on Reddit and on X, Blizzard has now announced that they will adjust the reward. There was a lot of criticism about the set automatically changing color. This spoiled the popular look of the Wardens for some. At the same time, particularly RP fans were annoyed that it is frustrating when their clothing just changes color in the middle of a session.

If you unlock the set, you will also receive two additional sets for your collection – namely, both the day and night variant as an option that does not change color.

When will the change come? This adjustment will only come with patch 10.2.5 “Seeds of Renewal”. There is no fixed release date for the patch yet. However, Blizzard has already announced that the unlock will also apply retroactively. So if you unlock the “Burden of Unrelenting Justice” in early January, you will also be credited with the two alternatives with the release of patch 10.2.5.

Here, the complaints from the community have paid off, and Blizzard reacted quite quickly – something the developers are doing more frequently with Dragonflight, as part of the new mentality of the team.

EA FC 24: With the new upgrade SBCs, you can only get strong players today – We show how

Thomas Dummer 15. December 2023 Reading time 4 minutes

In EA FC 24 you can still get stronger players from the Upgrade SBCs step by step with a simple method today. We will show you how it works.

Which Upgrade SBCs are we talking about? The focus is on the new Upgrade SBCs that have appeared as part of the Dynasties event, which are:

Player Choice (1 out of 3 players with at least 78)
10x 83 Upgrade
Double Upgrade 85+

The order of the Upgrade SBCs is crucial. If you follow our method, you should gradually receive better cards with a bit of time and a small starting capital of coins and players. We will explain how exactly this works below.

Here you can get a little preview:

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from YouTube that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Link to the YouTube content

With a simple method to guaranteed “85+ players”

How does the upgrade method work? The method is designed so that you can immediately use almost all players you receive from the first two upgrades again for the next better SBC. Of course, this excludes players with a rating of 85 or higher, as we want to craft these players through the method.

First Step: 78+ Player Choice (infinitely repeatable)

You start with the 78+ Player Choice, which you can complete infinitely. After completion, you can choose one from three random players, all of whom have at least a rating of 78.

This upgrade has the following requirements: a team with 5 gold players, one of which is rare.

According to Futbin, the price for this SBC is only 2,800 coins. If you have a few useless cards lying around in your club, you can even complete the Player Choice a few times for free. With a bit of luck, you will get the players you need for the next Upgrade SBC.

Which ratings and cards from the Player Choice help you? Theoretically, you mainly need cards with a minimum rating of 83 or higher. Especially worthwhile are the informs from the Team of the Week (TOTW). This year, they have a consistent value of over 35,000 coins. Therefore, you should definitely take such cards, even if they might have a lower rating than other players.

However, all player ratings of 81 or 82 are also helpful, as you need them for the next better upgrade, especially for the last and strongest SBC. But more on that later.

So don’t be upset if the 83+ players don’t appear right away. When you have collected a number of 83s (at least 9) after a while, you will proceed to the next SBC.

Second Step: 10x 83+ Upgrade (2x repeatable)

Next, we move on to the stronger upgrade pack, which you can repeat twice. This pack contains ten players, all with a minimum rating of 83 or higher. In the worst case, you will get at least a value of 10,000 coins back (if an 83 costs 1,000 coins).

This Upgrade SBC has the following requirements: an 83-rated team with a TOTW player

According to Futbin, the value for this SBC is around 42,000 coins and thus represents a significant price increase compared to the first SBC. The factor that makes this upgrade expensive is not necessarily the 83-rated team itself, but especially the required TOTW player.

If you were unlucky enough not to get a TOTW from the previous Player Choice or don’t have such a player in your club, you will need to spend some coins and invest in an inform card.

Keep in mind that you only need 9 players with an 83 rating for an 83-rated team. You can fill the two free spots with 82-rated players.

Which ratings and cards from this upgrade help you? Once you have completed the pack, you should open it immediately, as the contents of this pack can give you one or more high-rated cards (85+), which you can save or maybe even use. Considering the next better SBC, 84-rated players are also very interesting.

In the worst case, it provides you with “only” player material (83) to be able to complete this SBC again.

You will then repeat the second step one more time. With a bit of luck, you should have already collected one or more 85+ players either from the first step (Player Choice) or from the second step (10x 83) before moving on to the last upgrade pack. This one has a moderate probability of pulling really strong players.

Third Step: 85+ Double Upgrade (2x repeatable)

Finally, we come to the best Upgrade SBC in our series. The chances of getting one or two walkouts (86+) in a pack are particularly high here.

This Upgrade SBC requires you to build two teams:

an 82-rated team with at least two 84-rated cards
an 83-rated team

The pack costs around 23,000 coins according to Futbin, which is even lower than the 10x 83+ Upgrade. However, due to the requirements, it is advisable to complete this one last in the sequence, as you can now use the remaining 83-rated cards from the second round of 10x 83 for this SBC.

For the 82-rated team, you will of course need the two required 84-rated cards. You can then fill the rest with 81-rated players. You will build the 83-rated team as mentioned above.

Whether you open these strong packs now or perhaps wait until the new event this evening is up to you. What’s certain is that the new promo not only brings strong special cards from already very good players but also adds unique hero versions to the packs:

ADC legend leaves Europe and goes to T1 – but he will still not play with the great Faker

jacquelinek 15. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Surprising news from the League of Legends world: Rekkles is switching to T1 Academy for the 2024 season and will no longer take on the role of ADC. Instead, he will act as a supporter in the Challenger team. Therefore, we will not see Rekkles together with Faker at tournaments.

Which team is Rekkles playing for? T1 has opted for a versatile team structure to cover various aspects of e-sports. In the main roster, with stars like Faker and Keria, T1 aims for success in the LCK and at Worlds 2024.

Meanwhile, the Challenger team, which Rekkles is also joining, will compete in the LCK CL. The establishment of a rookie team, another team from T1 Academy, demonstrates T1’s commitment to developing young talents.

Why is Rekkles playing in the Challenger team and not in the main roster? A crucial factor for the switch to the Challenger team could be that he is transitioning from the ADC role to supporter.

After ten years of professional play, he may feel the desire for change. The announcement from T1 emphasizes that Rekkles is seeking the challenge to act as a supporter now. In his own statement in the announcement video, he emphasizes the desire to experience something new before possibly ending his professional career.

This change could represent not only a strategic decision but also a personal growth for the player.

How does the community react to Rekkles’ switch? Most fans on X have already expected the switch to T1 and seem to be little surprised. Nevertheless, many fans are happy to support Rekkles further in the LCK CL:

Redcatapng writes: ‘Give it your best, man, please, I want to see you make it to the main roster, even if it would take years.’
mate_moon_ comments: ‘Nice to see you. I’ve been a fan of T1 for 9 years and gladly welcome you. The legend from LEC. Welcome and I wish you only the best! T1 Rekkles!’

Where can we follow Rekkles’ games? The upcoming games of the LCK CL can be followed on the official YouTube channel. The exact start date for the Spring Split has yet to be determined, but it is assumed that fans can enjoy new matches with Rekkles as early as January.

After Twitch, the next platform to ban KuchenTV

MeinMMO 15. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

The German opinion blogger Tim “KuchenTV” Heldt has been in a dispute with the Twitch streamer Pia “Shurjoka” Scholz for months. In early December 2023, the 28-year-old received a ban from Twitch. Now, the next platform follows with X.com (formerly Twitter).

What is the ban about? KuchenTV was banned on Twitch on December 8th, 2023, two days after he made statements about the “Gamer of the Year” Shurjoka during a nearly 7-hour stream, such as “the Twitch support doesn’t give a damn about you”.

Shurjoka subsequently called on the video platform YouTube to follow Twitch’s example and also ban the content creator. KuchenTV complained about the ban in several posts on X (formerly Twitter) and announced plans to take legal action against it (via X).

Moreover, he made posts in which he called for a ban for Shurjoka. Instead, his X account was also suspended on December 14th, one week after his Twitch ban.

KuchenTV has not yet commented on the ban

Why was KuchenTV banned? The exact reasons for the ban are currently unknown. On X, there is only a message indicating that accounts will be banned for violating the rules of the messaging service.

Fans of the content creator suspect that Shurjoka and her community may have caused the ban through mass reports of the account. There is no evidence for this theory. However, other users argue that the streamer would have long been banned by now if it were only about mass reports (via X).

Shurjoka herself states on X that she has nothing to do with the ban.

Others suspect sexualized – apparently humorously intended – remarks about minors as a possible reason for the ban (via X)

How does KuchenTV react? The content creator shared a screenshot of the ban notification from X on the morning of December 15th, 2023, in a story on his Instagram account, but did not comment further. It is likely that he plans to challenge the ban, just as he has announced regarding his Twitch suspension.

Can KuchenTV take legal action? The content creator has already reported plans to take legal action against the Twitch ban and could also consider doing so regarding the X suspension. The fellow content creator Theo “Scurrows” Bottländer has already successfully sued his way back to Twitch and TikTok:

The big The Last of Us Online is dead: “We would no longer be able to make single-player games”

Cortyn 15. December 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

The dream of a multiplayer game for “The Last of Us” is over. The game died before release – but for good reasons.

Fans of the “The Last of Us” franchise have had a really good run in recent years. Not only was “The Last of Us Part II” an outstanding game with great reviews, but the TV adaptation of the first part of the series was also a huge success and marked a new era of video game TV series for many.

But now there’s devastating news from the developer Naughty Dog: the project “The Last of Us Online” is dead and will never be released. Development on the game has been halted.

Recently, the TV series of The Last of Us has sparked positive news:

Why was the project canceled? Naughty Dog provided the reasoning in an official announcement. It revealed that it became clear that the game could not be released with the ambitions they had initially set. If the game had been released, they would have had to “use all the studio’s resources to support The Last of Us Online with new content for the coming years.”

Or to put it more clearly: Naughty Dog simply wouldn’t have been able to develop any more single-player games, at least not with the current resources of the studio.

Naughty Dog is particularly committed to exactly these projects.

How long was The Last of Us Online in development? According to the developers, work on the project had been ongoing since the development of “The Last of Us Part II” began – that is, since 2017. Accordingly, about 6 years were invested in the project, and they had reached a point where they were “satisfied with the gameplay” and believed they could fulfill the original vision – at least in part.

The project has grown over the developers’ heads

That Naughty Dog has failed at their own ambitions is by the way not an isolated case in the industry and is actually the norm in multiplayer projects with a live-service approach. Many developers come to the conclusion that the ongoing support of such a game basically consumes the resources of an entire studio in order to do justice to the fans and the game. Just a few months ago, Overwatch 2 largely abandoned the PvE component to fully focus on the live-service approach in PvP.

Years ago, WildStar also faced very similar problems and ultimately failed as well – but only after release. The then developer Stephan Frost had detailed which phases there are for MMORPGs (and thus many live-service games) and why they become a burden for studios that is hardly foreseeable at the beginning.
