New MMORPG on Steam fully focuses on the “RPG”, sounds familiar

Linda Baumgartl Linda Baumgartl Reading time 5 minutes

A new game on Steam brings fresh wind to the world of MMORPGs. On 12/04/2023, “The Wagadu Chronicles” launched in Early Access. The game promises interesting concepts in an unusual Afro-Fantasy setting. What exactly can you expect?

What is “The Wagadu Chronicles”?

  • The game is developed by “Twin Drums“, a small development studio from Berlin.
  • Originally, the game was funded through crowdfunding on Kickstarter, where it was able to raise over €160,000.
  • Additionally, the developers receive support from Riot Games, the developer of LoL. The company invests in various startups, primarily to empower underrepresented founders.

In the Early Access trailer, you can see the game for yourself:

The main features at a glance

The Wagadu Chronicles is a sandbox MMORPG where you gather resources, craft items, and found villages. Here you can see the main features at a glance:

1. Focus on Roleplay with Pen&Paper elements

The Wagadu Chronicles places great emphasis on story and roleplay. On Kickstarter, the developer advertises that it is the first online game tailored 100% for roleplayers, from the lore to the mechanics.

With this RPG focus, the game is reminiscent of Baldur’s Gate 3, which recently demonstrated with its huge success how popular the genre currently is and what potential it holds. The game has already won an award as the “Ultimate Game of the Year.” Baldur’s Gate 3 is also a strong contender for Game of the Year at the 2023 Game Awards.

We can expect to see even more games that will be oriented around the concept of the RPG in the future.

Unlike in Baldur’s Gate 3, the roleplay in The Wagadu Chronicles is also meant to take place primarily through player interactions. For this, there is a special “Dialogue Mode” that can be opened when two or more players are chatting. Close-ups make animations and the characters’ facial expressions more visible.

To further motivate players, there are also rewards for groups that deliver particularly interesting and well-thought-out roleplay.

In the dialogue window, you can interact with your teammates.

The extensive lore of The Wagadu Chronicles is intended to be regularly expanded in the game. The developers also explain on their own website that a whole book will soon be released. This will be a “Pen & Paper” rulebook that allows adventures in Wagadu to be experienced analogously at the kitchen table.

Of course, the book also offers interesting backgrounds for pure video gamers who want to refine their online roleplay. A 300-page demo is already available for free.

Baldur’s Gate 3 takes place in the “Dungeons & Dragons” universe and is based on the fifth edition of the game.

“Pen & Paper” is also increasingly getting focus in film and television. In the popular mystery series Stranger Things, all monsters are from Dungeons & Dragons, and the protagonists are fans of the game. Recently, there was even a whole film that deals with the chaos of a “Dungeons & Dragons” session.

A similar focus on worldbuilding is also supposed to be found in the new survival game “Coreborn: Nations of the Ultracore.” In an interview, we talk to the developers, including “Pen & Paper” legend Hauke Gerdes:

2. Player Communities

Although there is no direct PvP in The Wagadu Chronicles, interaction with other players is still important. In “communities,” you can team up to claim islands and build your own village. If multiple communities are interested in a building site, so-called “guardian spirits” must be convinced with gifts.

3. Player-driven economy

Players not only influence the world of The Wagadu Chronicles by building villages. The economy is also completely player-driven. Most items can only be crafted by players. The NPCs offer only the bare essentials.

Many items such as clothing or weapons can also be customized individually in an editor. With the right sense of fashion, you might even become a little designer and sell your creations.

4. Free class system

In the MMORPG, there are no fixed classes. You can freely develop the skills that are most important to you. This applies to combat skills as well as various professions like farmer or fisherman.

A special feature is that players automatically receive experience points every day. Thus, no grind is needed to progress. This way, players of peaceful professions such as traveling merchants or tailors can level up just as quickly as a warrior.

5. Turn-based combat system

Rather uncharacteristic of the genre, the game relies on a turn-based combat system. With its hexagon fields, it is reminiscent of strategy classics like Civilization.

The combat itself is divided into movement and action phases. Here, D&D players or fans of Baldur’s Gate 3 are likely to feel right at home.

In pure PvE combat, it is crucial to coordinate a good strategy with up to 11 friends.

The turn-based combat system requires strategic planning.

6. Afro-Fantasy setting

Last but not least, the game comes with a very special setting. The game world resembles the African savannah; the characters have dark skin and wear traditional garments. Combined with a touch of fantasy, this creates a unique setting in the genre.

The developers describe their approach as “What if Tolkien had been black?”.

Inspired by African mythologies and traditions, there are seven different fantastic races in the world of The Wagadu Chronicles. For example, the Asiman are powerful elemental mages and alchemists, inspired by African desert dwellers. The Ikaki, on the other hand, are fish people representing the inhabitants of Central Africa.

The Wagadu Chronicles - Village
As a community, you establish your own village.

How the game is received

The game is praised mainly for its role-playing elements and fresh approaches.

“The focus is on expressing yourself and building a community,” writes a user on Steam. “The game encourages you to actually play a character instead of being a standard MMORPG,” another user adds.

“The vibe I get is a relaxed feeling. I can progress at my own pace and let myself fall into the world.”

The quests and crafting mechanics also seem to convince.

What’s not so good? Despite the already good ideas, the game is still very fresh in Early Access.

Players report that there are frequent bugs and glitches. Mechanics aren’t always intuitive, the options are still quite limited, and the game pace is a bit too slow.

One user summarizes: “You can tell that the game is in Early Access. Although it still has its rough edges, the game is definitely fun and the current problems can be fixed in the future.”

Another hope on the MMORPG horizon is the Oldschool-inspired “Ravendawn.” The game is set to be released in 2024, but you can already test it:

Warcraft Rumble is unfortunately Pay2Win

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 4 minutes

MeinMMO demon Cortyn is taking a stand against Warcraft Rumble from Blizzard. After a good start, it quickly becomes clear: It screams Pay2Win.

A little over a month has passed since the mobile game “Warcraft Rumble” was officially released. I’ve been playing diligently – some days a lot more, some a little less. But I logged in every single day and completed at least the dailies or contributed to the guild’s progress.

However, in these four weeks, it has become clear to me that I have to retract some of my original statements. In my first review of the game, I dismissed PvP as not particularly tactical – that is definitely not the case. It is extremely tactical and quite demanding.

Unfortunately, I also have to retract another statement, because in recent weeks it has become clear to me: Warcraft Rumble is heavily Pay2Win in PvP.

Start video
Warcraft Rumble: Cinematic for the Game Launch

Especially the first matches feel good. Everything seems to come down to actual decisions in the game. Which minis did you bring? How do you counter the minis your opponent uses? Do you make the first move yourself, or do you try to outsmart your opponent only by reacting? Do you have minis that can secure the treasure chests immediately?

But as soon as you start climbing the ranks a bit, that changes. Because the better your rating, the more players you encounter who either had extreme luck with their minis or who just “went all in”.

Because the crucial element here is the talents. You can equip every mini with a talent – but only after you have upgraded it for the first time. There is a larger selection of talents when you make further upgrades – but that costs a lot of gold. And gold is the limited resource you can only earn to a certain extent per week, no matter how much you play. Alternatively, you can buy gold endlessly in the shop.

To illustrate this with an example: A Sylvanas without talent deals damage to a single target and leaves behind a banshee upon death that takes over an enemy mini. But a talent turns Sylvanas’s shots into an area attack that hits all minis in a row – this way, the opponent’s Sylvanas can wipe out entire groups.

It’s significantly simpler with other minis. The “Murloc tide hunters” always appear in pairs. But with one talent, you summon not 2, but 3 murlocs upon purchase.

In other words: In this case, a mini with a talent is simply 50% stronger than a mini without a talent.

Many minis are important – but in PvP, you need talents to progress.

Anyone who has a large selection of talents can only have achieved that at this point through the use of a lot of real money – it’s mathematically impossible any other way, as gold gain is strictly limited. In a battle between “normal” minis and minis with talents, the minis with talents will almost always win.

And that is unfortunately the definition of Pay2Win.

Solving the problem would be quite simple, because: Blizzard could completely disable talents in PvP or unlock all talents in PvP.

Then it would be a fair, largely skill-based PvP system. Not doing that is, however, a conscious decision. Because those who spend money should feel good.

FOMO and the “great feeling” of being allowed to buy something

Especially irritating is the type of monetization that has been chosen for Warcraft Rumble. There are indeed some “good” offers – such as the one-time, permanent boost on all gold earnings. You invest 20 euros and then have this boost for life. Some may roll their eyes at this, but I can still overlook that – especially since you also receive all the bonus gold retroactively if you finalize this deal later.

However, the numerous limited-time offers that the game constantly throws at you are worse. Not only are there weekly offers, but also those that you unlock during gameplay.

For example, when you complete the area “Darkshore,” you unlock a special package in the shop. Yes, compared to the other offers, this package has a really solid value – but it also has a time limit. Because after “unlocking” these offers, you only have 2-3 days to buy it.

The same applies in PvP, by the way. As soon as you reach a new rank, a new offer appears in the shop to “celebrate” it.

That simply feels wrong. The “big reward” after completing an area is that you can buy a “great” package in the shop.

As if that weren’t annoying enough, these packages are also getting increasingly expensive, making it obvious that initially “bait offers” are made that then increase in price. Because where the “reward package” initially costs 5 euros, the costs for the next packages already rise to 7 euros, then to 10 euros, and probably even higher – I haven’t even checked the last ones.

This reminds me of the darkest offers from Diablo Immortal, only that here you don’t make absurd promises like “600% value,” but instead call it “legendary offer” or “epic offer.”

Here, they simply try to trigger FOMO in players, based on the motto: If I don’t buy this now, maybe I will never be able to get important resources as easily again!

I want to emphasize clearly: I still enjoy Warcraft Rumble. Sometimes finishing a dungeon run in 15 minutes or slowly working through the heroic campaign while completing the daily quests for hefty XP boosts still feels good. I still play it every day.

But the entire PvP aspect of the game has continued to lose importance for me, and that is frustrating, as in the long run that should be the only motivation left after the campaign.

In the end, it really comes down to who has the better talents and the higher upgrade level for their minis in Warcraft Rumble. And ultimately, unfortunately, that is determined mainly by one thing: the wallet.

It’s a shame, Blizzard. Really a shame.

What is shown in the trailer? The 1:30 minute long trailer provides a fascinating glimpse into Vice City, the game environment inspired by Miami, and introduces the main characters, including the protagonist Lucia.

The release of the “GTA 6” trailer has triggered a wave of excitement in the gaming community. Comments like “Rockstar Games exceeds all expectations again!” and “GTA 6 will be more than just a game; it will be an experience!” dominate social media.

A Windows update is supposed to ruin the performance of your gaming PC – A quick trick can help

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

Microsoft has distributed an update for Windows 11 , but now players are complaining about performance issues. There is actually a fix that can help somewhat mitigate these problems. The second option is to simply uninstall the troublesome update.

As reported by the colleagues at Techradar, Microsoft has rolled out the 23H2 update for Windows 11. However, along with the update, there seem to be frustrating issues. According to various sources, this primarily affects players with an AMD processor.

With the command line, you should be able to resolve the performance loss issue. The culprit seems to be the Windows Defender, which you should reset. MeinMMO will explain how to do this.

It helps to reset the Windows Defender using the command line

How severe is the performance loss? The issues are mainly related to processor performance. A user on reddit writes that every processor thread works 5-8% slower. In some games, strong stuttering occurs, making them unplayable.

Depending on the game, the 23H2 update can thus have a significant impact on your gaming performance.

How to solve the problem: Microsoft’s official solution proposal is to reset the Windows Defender. You can do this through PowerShell. To open it, press Windows key + X and then click on “Windows PowerShell (Administrator).”

After starting PowerShell, execute the following two commands and confirm each entry with the Enter key:

  • Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
  • Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.SecHealthUI -AllUsers | Reset-AppxPackage

With the second command, you reset the Windows Defender and restart your computer.

In a further step, you should check in your BIOS whether CPU virtualization is enabled. It’s best to check your motherboard manual, as every BIOS is structured differently. Ideally, the function is already enabled, so you won’t need to do anything further.

Once you have restarted the system, open the “Windows Security” menu and select “Device Security.” Here, look for the option “Core isolation memory integrity” in the bar and enable it. After that, you’ll need to restart your computer again.

What is the alternative? If all this effort is too much or the process too cumbersome, there is another, quicker way: uninstall the 23H2 update and revert to version 22H2. Then the performance issues should disappear on their own.

However, be aware that you’ll need to disable automatic updates, otherwise Windows will reinstall the update and you’ll face the same problems again.

As soon as the trailer went online, the first hyped reactions from users started flooding in:

WoW: This week you can easily grab loot with item level 467+

WoW: Guardians of the Dream – Launch Trailer

What is this event? In World of Warcraft, there are small mini-events every week that are intended to encourage players to try out certain types of content. From December 6, 2023, to December 12, 2023, it is the “Dungeon Event”. Here, the final bosses in normal, heroic, and mythic dungeons drop an additional reward.

The really interesting thing for most is the weekly quest that comes with it. Because in Valdrakken, you can accept a quest from the NPC Kazra at the big fountain, for which you need to complete 4 dungeons on mythic difficulty. Alternatively, you can accept the quest directly through your adventure guide.

What dungeons must you complete? The dungeons must be from the current content. The options include:

  • The 8 dungeons from Dragonflight on Mythic.
  • The 8 dungeons of the current season on Mythic+.

If someone just wants to quickly grab the reward chest, they can simply complete 4 dungeons on “Mythic 0,” which is the normal mythic difficulty. However, if you also want to do something for the weekly cache, you might as well go directly for “Mythic+” dungeons – that way, you kill two birds with one stone.

What rewards are there? The reward chest for completing the quest contains an item from the heroic version of the current raid “Amirdrassil, Hope of the Dream.” This means that the item has a minimum item level of 467 – but in the best case, it can even be 483.

Which item you get from the raid loot is left to chance.

The quest should still be worthwhile for most main characters to have an additional chance at particularly rare items. It is equally interesting for alts to get a significant item level boost directly.

What did you have in your chest?

In general, the WoW fans are currently very satisfied with the loot.

On December 5, Update 2.1 was introduced in Cyberpunk 2077 and provides an insight into the new content in the trailer. Now you can ride a subway through Night City, hold races, and listen to the radio on the go. But the romances also get a fresh breeze.

On December 5, Update 2.1 was introduced in Cyberpunk 2077, and a day earlier, a trailer was released on YouTube presenting the new features. This was exactly at the moment when many people were busy waiting for the new trailer for GTA 6, which came earlier than planned.

The trailer for the update shows new features for Cyberpunk 2077: Now you can not only listen to the radio on the go or ride the subway through Night City but also participate in car races.

Here you see the new trailer for the new features of Update 2.1 in Cyberpunk 2077:

Fast car races, motorcycle stunts, and new dates

What does the trailer show? In the trailer, you get an insight into the new content that has been introduced with Update 2.1 in Cyberpunk 2077. The video starts relatively calmly – we see Night City and hear the character “V” asking, “Ok, what do we have here?” as she selects a track on her radio. Then the music starts.

V walks to the rock music and then wonders, “Hm, where do I go to have a good time?” She boards the subway, which is now available in Night City. On the way, she admires the beautiful view. In the next scene, you see Johnny Silverhand standing next to a racing car.

Then V is sitting in the racing car and says, “This should be fun.” The scene switches to a moving motorcycle, and you hear V again saying, “Alright, let’s go!” In the following seconds, you get a glimpse of moments that V spends with other characters in Cyberpunk 2077.

“That wasn’t all” V notes as the video transitions to fast scenes showcasing a boss fight, motorcycle stunts, and the subway in quick succession to the music. Finally, an overview of the new content is displayed.

Our colleagues from GameStar were able to play Update 2.1 as one of the first and summarize in the article what it brings.

New Role-Playing Game Looks Like a Kung Fu Movie, Shows 5 Minutes of Gameplay

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 2 minutes

“Where Winds Meet” is a Chinese action RPG with an unusual twist. In addition to sword fighting, you should also be able to engage in everyday jobs. The RPG looks like a Kung Fu movie and resembles Ghost of Tsushima.

What kind of game is this? “Where Winds Meet” is a Chinese action RPG that resembles Ghost of Tsushima. The game is set in the ancient Wuxia universe. Your character uses classic Chinese martial arts techniques while moving through the open world. We have already reported on the more detailed backgrounds of the game here. 

What do the fights in “Where Winds Meet” look like? Sword fighting is the most important gameplay element of “Where Winds Meet”. You can counter enemy attacks and reflect them using Tai Chi. You should also be able to learn techniques from other martial schools. On the game’s website, it says that you can sneak into other schools and learn their techniques.

Your character is able to jump over roofs, climb walls, and perform other acrobatic feats. Watching feels like being in a Kung Fu movie.

In addition to melee techniques, you can also incorporate ranged weapons into your combat style. In combat, you will encounter not only human opponents but also various wild animals and supernatural creatures.

Here you can watch the new trailer.

Where Winds Meet 5 Minutes Gameplay Trailer

The trailer for “Where Winds Meet” promises action like in a Kung Fu movie

What can be seen in the trailer? The trailer introduces you to the story of the game, but also shows gameplay elements and video sequences from the game. In a cutscene, the protagonist rescues a woman and must then prove himself against her guardians.

In the trailer, not only is Tai Chi used, but also supernatural abilities. In one scene, the protagonist disarms an opponent using supernatural powers. In another scene, a heavy opponent is thrown. Watching feels like watching a Kung Fu movie.

The trailer shows many story elements, as well as the beauty of the game. The world feels alive and colorful. Fans of Wuxia games are likely to find this very appealing. 

What about the jobs? In “Where Winds Meet”, you should also be able to take on everyday jobs. Previously, the developers revealed in an interview with IGN that jobs can also be used online to interact with other players.

However, nothing about everyday jobs is shown in the new trailer. Only some live skills are displayed. Whether this feature has been removed remains to be seen.

Why is there a trailer? The trailer serves to announce a beta, which is probably intended only for the Chinese-speaking area. On the game’s website, there is also a registration in English, but the news about the beta is not translated. Whether you can also play the beta, which starts on December 15, 2023, in Germany remains questionable. 

As a single-player game, the chance of pay-to-win is relatively low, but things are different with Asia-MMORPG Night Crows, where everything revolves around NFTs.

CoD: MW3 is taking away your hard-earned victories in Warzone with Season 1 again

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 3 minutes

On December 6th, the first season of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will start. It also brings a fresh start for Warzone. What this means for your hard-earned stats, you will find out here on MeinMMO.

On Wednesday, the first season of CoD: MW3 starts and brings a lot of new content to the game. In addition to a new battle pass that includes new weapons and operators, the season also brings new maps for multiplayer, as well as a new map for Warzone: Urzikstan.

But there will not only be changes regarding the map, because: All your stats will be reset in Warzone with the start of Season 1. What this is all about, we will reveal to you here.

You can watch Urzikstan in the trailer here:

Start video

“Those who still want to brag should take screenshots”

Which stats will be reset? On December 5th, the developer Raven Software writes on X (formerly Twitter) that Warzone will start the season with a “fresh combat record”, but specifies nothing exact in the post.

Thus, we assume that all stats that can be viewed in Warzone are meant:

  • Playtime
  • Games played
  • Average kills per game
  • Points per minute
  • KD (kill-death ratio)
  • Placements
  • Best weapons
  • Best finish (per squad size)

In the post, Raven Software writes:

Season 1 of Call of Duty: #Warzone will start with a new combat record that will directly display the stats for battle royale.

Visible stats for resurgence and loot cash will appear in later seasons.

Please note that tracking stats for all modes will start with the beginning of Season 1 and will be displayed retroactively when the mode-specific combat records go online.

If you currently have a combat record that you like to brag about, then take a screenshot of it now, because it will only be available for a few more days!

Raven Software via X

“Just play to have fun”

How are the fans reacting? Reactions are quite mixed. Some welcome the reset of stats, others mourn their KDs and wins. Below, we have summarized a few opinions from the community for you, from various posts on X that we link to:

  • “midWinter” via X: “I love it. Thanks for the communication @RavenSoftware”
  • “Reece_C” via X: “More games should do this. Now I will actually get the game since they reset the combat record.”
  • “J007tv” via X: “Good. It only counted about 1/3 of my kills and deaths in the last months. That stuff was broken.”
  • “billy james” via X: “W [Win]. It’s basically a new game.”
  • “Augvsto” via X: “W [Win], as my Warzone 2 stats were limited and not great because of the [bad] movements.”
  • “PBandzOfficial” via X: “So my 2 KD will be deleted? Wow.”
  • “TVC15” via X: “RIP to my one win in Al-Mazrah.”

One user adds in a post on Reddit, which addressed the topic on December 5th: “If you are good, the stats will be better when they are reset, as you (probably) have improved over time. Also, stats are not important, just play to have fun.”

Why are the stats being reset? According to Dexerto, this is related to the integration of Warzone into CoD: MW3 and represents a fresh start. This way, the movements from MW3 should also play a role in Warzone, thereby replacing the outdated mechanics from MW2.

With the onset of Season 1 in CoD: MW3 and Warzone, not only new content comes – a popular mode is supposed to be no longer supported soon. Although it will not be completely scrapped, but rather left to its current state:

A mode from CoD: MW2 was considered a highlight, is not going to be supported in MW3 and Warzone anymore

Twitch streamer Papaplatte tells how he was able to fulfill his sick viewer’s biggest wish

Sarah Sarah Reading time 2 minutes

The well-known Twitch streamer Papaplatte was contacted by the Make-A-Wish organization and fulfills a heartfelt wish for a seriously ill fan. In one of his recent livestreams, he talks about this moving day.

Who is Papaplatte? Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller, 27 years old, is one of the most famous German streamers and content creators in the gaming sector. Through his authentic and humorous style, he has gained a loyal fanbase on platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok.

This year, he reached another milestone, breaking his own viewer records at the streamer event r/Place and recording over 100,000 simultaneous viewers.

Likewise, the Friendly Fire event is a highlight each year for many and fulfills the wishes of numerous people:

In a previous event, Papaplatte joined forces with his community on Twitch to participate in a treasure hunt organized by moderators Joko and Klaas to win 1 million euros. Live on Twitch, he puzzled together with his community, and the outcome was that one of his viewers is now in possession of a considerable fortune.

Now, Papaplatte has been contacted by the Make-A-Wish organization to fulfill a sick fan’s heartfelt wish.

“He could wish for anything, but he chose you.”

What did the viewer wish for? In the stream, he initially did not reveal why he was at Phantasialand, only saying that there was a special person who was the reason for it. When the chat jokingly speculated whether it was Merkel or Obama, he finally revealed the secret. The streamer had received an invitation from Make-A-Wish, which he spontaneously accepted.

The organization is dedicated to fulfilling the heartfelt wishes of seriously ill children and teenagers to bring them joy, hope, and strength. Papaplatte reported on the ill viewer, who is only 17 years old.

Despite the chat’s curiosity, Papaplatte initially did not want to go into detail. He emphasized that this day should be solely about the special person, as it was their wish to spend a day with him.

However, he revealed at least a few small moments from this special day. The young fan apparently knew every detail from Kevin’s streams and was overjoyed to spend time with not only his idol but also with his friends.

As Papaplatte shared these touching moments in the stream, a chat comment pointed out: “You have to imagine, he could wish for anything, but he chose you. Of course, he knows everything about you.”

When asked in the chat if he had done this for free, Kevin initially joked about a “big paycheck.” Later, however, he revealed that he did it out of conviction and without financial interests, seeing it as a “cool” gesture.

How did Kevin feel on that day? In the next segment, Papaplatte reported that he was not feeling well that day. Despite having only five hours of sleep, he took advantage of the Phantasialand tickets that allowed him to visit certain attractions without waiting times. However, he felt continuously unwell afterwards.

Nonetheless, his discomfort provided the opportunity to sit down quietly with the ill viewer and talk. Details about the fan’s illness were not elaborated upon.

Even though Papaplatte is currently one of the biggest German streamers, there are points that bother him about Twitch: Papaplatte explains what is going wrong in German Twitch: streamers are afraid to show gaming

Destiny 2: Weekly reset on 05.12. – Makes you crave bananas

Britta ♤ BeAngel Britta ♤ BeAngel Reading time 5 minutes

In Destiny 2 geht es heute tiefer in Rivens Versteck, denn noch sind nicht alle Eier in Sicherheit. Allerdings fragen sich die Hüter, was dieser Deal mit dem Wunschdrachen für einen versteckten Preis hat. Auch Krähe, Mara Sovs Bruder, hat schon seltsame Wunschgedanken geäußert. MeinMMO nimmt euch mit in Woche 2 und sagt, was euch dort alles erwartet.

This week: In this season of the wish, Mara gets in touch with the guardians every week when she has new information. After today’s reset, the story quest All Best Wishes continues.

  • The key to the bleached heart of the Traveler, the objective of the DLC The Final Form, cannot be extracted. It must be surrendered.
  • The soul of Riven is able to open this path to the guardians with the last 15th wish. In return, the wish dragon demands that we save her eggs, which lie deep under the dreaming city. Because she wants to ensure the survival of her species.
  • Other NPCs in season 23 have strange thoughts because such a last wish could ultimately undo Crow’s greatest mistake. The price for that is just the destruction of the universe.
  • Additionally, you can dive into the free Iron Banner event, which now offers bananas.

Since Season 21, all missions and raids rotate every week and are farmable. This means both the active rotation raid, the active rotation dungeon, and the exotic rotation missions can be farmed in the week. So you can complete the individual encounters multiple times to receive different items and complete your collection. Including any exotics available in these contents.

  • The weekly legacy raid is the “Garden of Salvation” with the exo Divinity.
  • In the dungeon “Guardian’s Pillar,” this week, there’s the exo-bow “Hierarchy of Claims.”

„Embarrassing Marketing Construct“ – A Team in 7 vs. Wild was probably only 400 meters away from a hotel

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 3 minutes

Some resourceful users on Reddit have revealed a secret that the production of the third season of 7 vs. Wild probably wanted to keep hidden. A participant spot is said to have been only 400 meters away from a resort hotel.

What’s the deal with the distance to the hotel? A thread is currently going viral in the largest subreddit for 7 vs. Wild. There, pictures and evidence are being gathered to show that the wildcard winners, Ann-Kathrin “Affe auf Bike” Bendixen and Hannah Assil, were only 400 meters away from a dock of a resort hotel.

Reddit users back their theory with screenshots from the show and additional information.

Here is the Reddit thread where the evidence is collected.

Viewers Gather Evidence

What kind of evidence have the viewers found? The hotel resort itself has published a map on their website showing the drop-off locations of the participants. There, the resort is located about between the teams Affe auf Bike and Hannah, as well as Knossi and Sascha.

However, on a map of the drop-off locations, as shown in episode 1 on YouTube, the island is not visible. Some viewers therefore suspect that the island may have been photoshopped out to hide its proximity to civilization.

Efficient-State-3355 comments: “I also find it interesting that the overview graphic of 7 vs. Wild does not show the island with the resort at all. The similarly sized Pine Island further north is included, though. Perhaps this could also simply be an error in the graphic creation, as Malei Island is also missing in the standard view of Google Maps and is only visible in satellite view.”

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

Estimated less than 400 meters direct line to the hotel

What other clues have the fans found? Some viewers have also noticed that in shots of Affe auf Bike, a boat dock is visible in the background.

In other “evidence photos,” Reddit users compared images from the making-of and the main series with images of the resort and pictures from Google. They claim to have established that the drop-off location of the team must have been within sight of the hotel resort.

According to our own research, the aforementioned dock, which belongs to the resort, is less than 400 meters away in a direct line from the shown drop-off point of the team.

Is there already a statement from the participants or the production? So far, there is no statement from participants or production. Whether the clues are true remains to be seen. You can find the entire thread with the evidence here.

“Is becoming more and more like Hartz4-TV”

How are users reacting to the alleged discoveries? The community on Reddit is outraged. Just recently, Fritz Meinecke confronted the production company, and now there is already another accusation.

This is what users are saying:

  • chilluminate68: “It’s all just an embarrassing marketing construct.”
  • Godzilla-9651: “This is just a game and not a real survival situation.”
  • Hanoverview: “I have to say it, it’s becoming more and more like Hartz4-TV.”
  • IntrovertedPerson22: “It’s all just a joke, let the child die already.”

However, there are also viewers with a different opinion:

  • cHpiranha: “I don’t think it changes much for the participants. You see it, but since it’s not relevant to you, you just block it out. […] It’s like a power pole in the forest.”
  • Yallneedjesuschrist: “Sometimes I wonder why people watch the series when they say such things about it? And it was clear from the beginning that it’s not a documentary, but just entertainment, right?”
  • Juritoke: “They can’t help the proximity to the dock. I would find it absurd to see their performance diminished because of that.”

Some users wish for season 1 back, where participants were dropped off at a lake in Sweden without much hassle. Recently, Papaplatte criticized the production. According to him, the participants were not informed about a possible danger.

A Disney game is currently the best MMORPG for me because the grind is fun again

Cedric Holmeier Cedric Holmeier Reading time 3 minutes

It is both a curse and a blessing. The cozy game Disney Dreamlight Valley gives me exactly the grind I need to relax in the evening. I will tell you why it is just right for all MMORPG players.

Disney Dreamlight Valley is a sandbox through and through. Besides the main story, most of the game actually revolves around improving and beautifying your own valley. A task that consumes quite a bit of star coins. 

To earn star coins in Dreamlight Valley, you usually grow pumpkins. They take the longest to grow with four hours, but they also yield the most coins per individual plant, with 664. 

So Disney Dreamlight Valley is associated with a lot of grind if you want many coins and a beautiful valley – perfect for a long-time MMORPG player like me. But there are also other ways to earn coins, such as redeeming promo codes.

Who speaks here? Cedric is the Asia MMORPG expert at MeinMMO. He has spent thousands of hours in games like Swords of Legends Online. Recently, he has been increasingly playing cozy games that satisfy his desire for grind.

Here is the trailer for Disney Dreamlight Valley

Start video
Disney Dreamlight Valley – Announcement Trailer

Disney characters help me grind and level up too

To grow the plants, you need a large field. Before we start doing anything, we take a companion from the village with us, to whom we have given the skill “digging”. He levels up with every action and gives additional rewards for the grind when he levels up.

First, we plow a field and are rewarded for every shovel stroke with a nice sound and occasionally a small random drop. The field can be as large as we want. I have seen some players on Reddit who have transformed entire sections of the map into a pumpkin farm. 

When our field is the desired size, we switch out our resident and take one with us who has the skill “gardening”. For every little plant we put in the ground, we receive friendship points for our companion.

When all tilled fields are full of seedlings, we can still water our field. The watering can has an AOE effect, and if you position yourself correctly, you can efficiently water the fields.

You can see my little pumpkin field here.

Finally, a grind that is really fun

Disney Dreamlight Valley knows the target audience of cozy gamers well. It combines popular elements from MMORPGs, such as experience points, leveling, and rewards for milestones, with rewarding sounds and engaging graphics.

Since the game has no competition and does not force me to grind, it makes it even better. I farm voluntarily because I want to beautify my village. Disney Dreamlight Valley excites me as a long-time MMORPG veteran because it makes grind rewarding.

The grind gets even better since you only get good plants like pumpkins quite late in the game – before that, you have to rely on poorer alternatives.

It is also important that you need to buy the seedlings and thus have to reinvest part of the earnings again. A little brains is also required.

Perfect for MMORPG players despite cozy gameplay

Even if many may not want to admit it, Disney Dreamlight Valley is the best non-MMORPG you can play. It reminds me of a time when the leveling phase wasn’t rushed just to finish the dailies on the first day.

The game gives me back a feeling that MMORPGs haven’t given me in a long time: a relaxed leveling phase, grind when I want it, and rewards in the form of coins that I can use for meaningful things.

If the grind in your favorite MMORPG has seemed rather frustrating or boring lately, Disney Dreamlight Valley might offer you a refreshing alternative.

18:00: No feedback from Bungie yet. The servers remain offline. But the patch notes are already available.
15:15: Destiny 1 and 2 will be taken offline due to expected maintenance.

What you need to know today: Today, Tuesday, Destiny 2 will be temporarily shut down for updates. The servers will not be accessible, and players will be logged out of the game.

Bungie has not been doing its updates weekly anymore. Therefore, there has been no maintenance interruption for two weeks. However, maintenance is still necessary in the long term to implement technical improvements, fix bugs, and ensure the overall stability of the game. Also in light of the upcoming DLC “The Final Shape,” Bungie is working on optimizing its systems:

  • Bungie has equipped its data center with new hardware.
  • Recently, the Destiny 2 game services have been able to restart automatically as soon as they detect problems.
  • Currently, they are working on load and stress tests for The Final Shape and new features to accelerate the recovery of parts of the Destiny infrastructure.

In this article, we have summarized the procedure and schedule for today’s Update 7.3.0.1. This way, you know when you cannot play.

This season will be briefly interrupted today by the update:

Maintenance on 05.12. – All times for the server downtime

These times are important today: Bungie informs its players via Twitter/X about the planned downtime. The planned downtime is 2 hours and 45 minutes.

This is the exact schedule for the maintenance:

  • At 14:00, background maintenance will start on all platforms.
  • At around 15:15, the servers will go offline. Players will be automatically kicked from the game.
  • During the downtime, Bungie will gradually roll out Update 7.3.0.1 so that players on all platforms can download and install it.
  • At 18:00, the shooter is expected to be back online, and you can log in again.
  • Maintenance will continue in the background until 20:00.
Third-party apps are also offline: As long as the background maintenance is running, there may be connection issues in the game. Additionally, maintenance may sometimes lead to queues during login, as Bungie only gradually opens access to the servers to avoid problems caused by too high server load. Therefore, you might have to wait longer before you are back in the game.

Also, be aware that third-party applications and the official companion app may not be accessible correctly for a while, so you cannot use them.

What changes with Update 7.3.0.1 in Season 23

What will be included in Update 7.3.0.1: Bungie has a publicly accessible to-do list of items that are currently not functioning correctly in the game. This is actively influenced by Destiny 2 players by reporting bugs on the Bungie forum.

The following bugs are currently on Bungie’s to-do list:

  • The maps of the Great Arcana in the Season of the Witch erroneously state that they expire at the end of Season 22 and not the end of Season 23.
  • Some new Guardians may not be able to spawn in the Tower Hangar when trying to complete the quest “A Guardian Rises.”
  • When the automatic melee setting is activated, glaives almost always execute double melee attacks.
  • Guardians may receive a BIRD error in activities with high combat density when they use builds that can defeat combatants in large numbers in a short time.
  • Bungie is still investigating the issue where Guardians cannot fully complete the challenge “There Can Be Only One” in Crota’s End.
  • Some emojis in the fireteam finder will not be available at the start of the beta test on certain platforms.
  • The dismantle perk does not refund the ammunition for fusion rifles correctly.
  • The offering for the Oracle cannot be submitted at the Oracle machine.
  • Checkmate control does not count towards the progress of the weekly challenge.
  • The rewards for Guardians who have completed the seasonal activities “Riven’s Hideout” and “The Weaving” are not dropping regularly.
  • The pulse rifle “Belisar-D” no longer drops for players who complete their placement matches in the competitive crucible.
  • The title “Star Baker” is no longer available.
  • The “Festival of the Lost” quests are still showing up for some Guardians.
  • Some rocket launchers are no longer displayed in the preview screen.
  • New dungeon and season armor sets will be displayed in the appearance screens of players, even if they are not unlocked.
  • Activity Ghost mods use placeholder icons.
  • Occasionally, Eva Levante’s head may be missing.
  • Veist auto rifles can partially rotate out of the screen in the inspection view.
  • Players can die by finishers if the enemy dies before the finisher animation is completed.
  • The armor mods “Mighty Friends” and “Radiant Light” require at least one armor charge to be activated.
  • The resilience stat determines the damage resistance of the previous tier when it is a multiple of 10. A resilience of 100 provides the intended benefit in a reasonable way.
  • If you die in the boss arena of the Hypernet Power Strike, the Guardian’s ghost may get stuck in the ground.
  • Player name changes are not infinitely customizable via bungie.net. Several “number Guardians” are still waiting for the option to change their player name again, instead of receiving the message “You have no name changes available.”

This is not an exhaustive list of all known issues, but rather a targeted list of specific sources of bugs. If further defects occur within the game, it would be helpful if you could inform us in our comment section.

Twitch: „Will I Experience This in My Lifetime“ – Mcky Reacts to the Trailer of GTA 6 and Predicts the Release

Lydia Lydia Reading time 2 minutes

Like many other content creators, the German Twitch streamer Mcky has already dived into the new trailer for GTA 6. However, one small detail dampens the hype: the release date.

After 10 years of waiting, the official trailer for GTA 6 is finally here. In the hours since the unexpected release of the one-and-a-half-minute trailer, numerous content creators have already reacted to this first impression of GTA 6.

Among them is also MckyTV, who is one of the most-watched German streamers of the predecessor GTA 5 and is particularly active in the RP scene (via sullygnome). Together with his Twitch colleague Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler, he launched his own role-playing server in 2022, which also welcomed viewers.

While the trailer makes Mcky excited about the game, the long wait until the release seems to dampen the anticipation. For the streamer, the release of GTA 6 is one of the two things he wants to “experience in [his] lifetime”.

Mcky does not believe in an early release

What does Mcky have to say? The streamer couldn’t resist jumping straight into the reaction as soon as he learned that Rockstar had released the trailer early. It didn’t stop at just the first viewing either. After watching the trailer in its entirety, he went into more detail.

The streamer’s conclusion: “It looks very, very creamy.” In particular, the setting with palm trees and beach captivated Mcky. And the song is also a hit for him, as the streamer joyfully rocks along. The only point of criticism: They could have shown a bit more.

Only the release scheduled for 2025 somewhat dampens the mood.

What suspicion does Mcky have? Mcky suspects that the release of GTA 6 will not take place until the end of 2025. He does not believe that it could start as early as January: The game is likely to be released in a way that it can be under the Christmas tree, according to the streamer.

He suspects that GTA 6 will be released in November or December 2025 – in time for Black Friday or Christmas. His only hope is that they can quickly start role-playing then, Mcky elaborates.

The streamer would prefer to quickly play through the story and then dive straight into the online mode and the RP. However, he fears that it could take another 2 years after the release before that happens – RP wouldn’t come until 2027.

At least, there will surely be many trailers coming out before the release that can help bridge the long wait, Mcky points out.

By the way, the other thing that Mcky wants to experience alongside the release of GTA 6 is the end of the anime long-runner One Piece. The streamer is a huge fan of the series and even wants to draw inspiration for his legacy from the legendary pirate king Gol D. Roger.

Player builds €1,800 gaming PC, only gets meager 6 FPS in games – The solution is surprisingly simple

Martin Vollert Martin Vollert Reading time 3 minutes

A desperate gamer asked for help on Reddit. His new gaming PC was not delivering the expected performance in games. When the computer stopped outputting any display, the community came to his rescue.

A self-built gaming PC can bring a lot of joy. However, only if it works as planned. Unfortunately, this was not the case for a gamer on Reddit. His computer was delivering suspiciously low performance. He had made a mistake and wasn’t aware of it. There are also cases where the fault lies with the manufacturer.

In trying to solve the problem, the system no longer produced any display. The helpful Reddit community was able to assist the desperate gamer. He had plugged his monitor into the wrong port. Once this was fixed, the gamer admitted his mistake and thanked the community for the clarification.

Expensive gaming PC only reaches 6 FPS because the player connects the wrong graphics card

What problem did the computer have? The player with the Reddit username MiddleOwl had treated himself to a new gaming PC. However, the 1,800 Euro system was only delivering very low frame rates of 6 FPS in games. In search of a solution, MiddleOwl then discovered that his motherboard had an integrated graphics unit (iGPU).

In trying to solve the problem, the computer ended up outputting no display at all. He described his problem on Reddit and at the request of the community uploaded a picture of the back of his computer. They immediately recognized that MiddleOwl had forgotten to remove the protective caps from the graphics card ports.

In comments under his post, other Reddit users thoughtfully informed him and told him where the problem lay. The solution was basically very simple. He was able to connect his monitor to the now-exposed ports of the graphics card. This way, his gaming PC finally worked as intended.

von jan hartmayer

What hardware is in the system? Through a link (via pcpartpicker.com) in his post, the helpful community received a list of all the installed components. Here’s an overview of the most important parts:

  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 4.2 GHz
  • Graphics card: XFX Radeon RX 7800 XT, 16 GB video memory
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE, Socket AM5

Since his Gigabyte motherboard has one HDMI and one DisplayPort, the player assumed he needed to connect his monitor there. The AMD Ryzen 7 7800 X3D processor has an integrated graphics unit that allows for gaming at moderate settings. In comparison, the graphics performance is even lower than that of an Nvidia GT 1030 from 2017 (via wepc.com).

In this combination of motherboard and CPU, you can use the iGPU to surf the internet or play graphically undemanding games. For graphically intensive games, a dedicated graphics card is needed, which the player had initially left unused in the system. Graphics cards can also be used for purposes other than gaming, as a student recently demonstrated.

Why did the gaming PC temporarily output no display at all? When MiddleOwl realized that his games were running on the so-called onboard graphics, he disabled the graphics unit in the BIOS. As a result, the computer now outputted no display at all.

Since he allegedly didn’t find any other graphics ports on his gaming PC, he desperately asked for help in a Reddit post. After his problem was resolved, he thanked the community multiple times for their assistance.

Many mods make Baldur’s Gate 3 even better – But players warn against using a certain one

Sophia Weiss Sophia Weiss Reading time 4 minutes

The community of Baldur’s Gate 3 is hard at work improving the game with more and more useful, funny, or simply aesthetic mods. Recently, however, there is a mod that the community is warning against. We have the background information for you.

The modding scene for Baldur’s Gate 3 is extremely diverse: there is a graphic mod that simply gives Gale a man-bun. But like Skyrim, new weapons and armors can also be downloaded for the game. Currently, there is the Buster Sword from Cloud in Final Fantasy 7. Mods for new animal transformations are also popular. Of course, there are also additional and modified spells.

All these mods can be found on Nexusmods.com, one of the largest sites for game modifications.

Spoiler warning: The following contains light spoilers for the story of two characters from Act of Baldur’s Gate 3.

Which mod is the community warning about? The specific mod that the community warns about on reddit gives a female character a male gender. Lady Aylin, whom you meet in Act 2 of Baldur’s Gate 3, is thus a man.

Lady Aylin is the daughter of the goddess Selûne and is in a same-sex relationship. She is an immortal paladin who fearlessly opposes her mother’s enemies.

These are things that the mod adjusts, among other things: an AI-enhanced voice, new portraits, adjusted animations, and revised voice lines of other characters.

Additionally, Aylin is said to be now friendlier: Lady Aylin is a very resolute personality who is also capable of biting at you in your own camp. With this mod, she no longer does that.

Lady Aylin is as resolute as she is powerful. Here she breaks the spine of an arrogant opponent.

What is the core problem of the mod? It is part of a mod package that obviously contains misanthropic content and specifically targets minorities. However, to not appear misanthropic, the whole thing is explained under the pretext that one wants to create a “real medieval” status quo with the mod. The fantasy setting, in which there are fire-breathing dragons and talking mushrooms, immediately excludes this.

The whole thing is insidious because one does not necessarily think about it when using the seemingly harmless mod to change the gender of Lady Aylin.

We as a editorial team are against any form of discrimination and want to join the community’s warning on reddit.

Here are a few more changes that the modpack brings:

  • The pack turns Nocturne, a friend of Shadowheart, into a man, as she is depicted as a boy in Shadowheart’s childhood memories.
  • In Act 3, you meet Sebastian, who has a long history with Astarion. The mod pack turns him into a woman.
  • The creator of the mods goes so far as to give a little girl with a deep voice via AI a higher pitch.

The goal of the mods, according to the developers, is that the gender and sexuality of the NPCs of the world correspond to the medieval status quo. The mod erases almost all LGBTQIA+ characters or their mentions.

However, there are a few exceptions:

  • The devil Raphael remains untouched, as his preferences are really funny.
  • The tiefling bard Alfira and her love Lakrissa remain untouched by the mods – they would not announce their love.
  • The members of the circus of the last days remain unchanged, as they are circus members.
Baldurs Gate 3 Lakrissa und Alfira
Lakrissa and Alfira can only remain a same-sex couple with the mod because they do not make their relationship public.

How did the community react to the warning? The original reddit post comes from user SignificanceNo2411. In it, he explains the background of the mod and the associated mod pack. Among other things, it is pointed out that the same modder has also published repairs for Wyll and his father: the mentioned mods turn the dark-skinned Ravengards white.

The comments take the situation seriously but also with a pinch of humor:

  • petrovmendicant via reddit: Octopus people from outer space? Alright. Talking mushroom people? Great. Dragon people? Wonderful. Giant skeleton death god? Nice. A genie that sends you to a dinosaur nest? Normal. Walking and talking robots? Cool. Miniature giant hamsters in space? Okay. Anyone who is not strictly white, heterosexual, and binary? Woke indoctrination.
  • Flimsy_Tooth via reddit: Ah yes, good. I hope they remove all the octopuses, flying ships, demons, elves, goblins, magic, and other things that also do not fit the medieval status quo. I would hate it if my fantasy game had historical inaccuracies.

If you are not eager for a medievally accurate version of Baldur’s Gate 3, you might enjoy a very special companion romance. However, it is not so easy to unlock:
