New World patches 2 abilities so broken that they are taken out of the MMORPG

This week had some changes for New World. A patch caused game crashes. Two skills were caught as the culprits. Additionally, there are supposed to be some changes in the classes. Aside from that, there is new information about Throne and Liberty and a possible Horizon MMORPG.

The highlights of the week:

What else has happened? New World has temporarily disabled two abilities as they were the cause of game crashes. After a patch, the two abilities of the rapier and the musket suddenly caused issues (via twitter.com).

Furthermore, the Creative Director of New World answered fan questions about the balancing of the MMORPGs. Especially the healer class received overly eager buffs that are now under closer observation (via youtube.com).

Destiny 2: Xur today – location and offer on 01.12.

First week Season 23 in Destiny 2 and today Xur is finally back. He continues to offer his Exotics of the Nine and, of course, armor pieces that you can use to complete your collection. MeinMMO tells you what he has in stock, where to find him, and which delicacy will still be available from 7:00 PM.

What happened this week in Destiny? The Guardians in Destiny 2 have started to explore the content of Season 23. The Season of Wishes has not yet really gained momentum because an activity at the beginning did not go down well. But Bungie has promised that this will not carry through the entire season. And indeed, Riven seems to be a great host who likes to play with some tricks.

Outside the game, Bungie has not scored very well. A starter pack in the cash shop caused a huge outrage. It offered disappointing and pretty worthless Exotics for 15 euros that no Guardian would recommend to a beginner. However, it was not available for long because Bungie quickly bowed to the pressure from the Guardians.

Tonight, another highlight of Season 23 comes as the latest dungeon Ruin of the Warmind goes live. The dungeon can be played starting at 6:00 PM. MeinMMO has summarized everything you need to know about accessibility, loot, and the dungeon’s exotic in this article:

Destiny 2: All playable dungeons 2023 at a glance – Here’s how to master them

Check out what the Guardians can play from this evening:

When does Xur come? He appears in Destiny 2 weekly on Fridays at 6:00 PM and remains present in the game world until the following Tuesday at 6:00 PM. During this time, Guardians from around the world can visit his shop and acquire exotic items.

Where is Xur? This is his camp for the weekend

Xur’s position: After the reset at 6:00 PM, the search begins, and players fly to Xur’s possible locations. The MeinMMO team is on it and will tell you where to search.

Destiny 2: All playable dungeons 2024 in the overview – How to master them

In Destiny 2, there are several underground passages hiding beneath the surface of the open world that conceal secrets. Deep digging has been done both on Earth in the Cosmodrome and on the Moon. Parallel worlds have also been created that lead to unknown dimensions. Players can explore these secrets by starting what are known as Dungeons. We have summarized all currently playable Dungeons and their secrets for you.

MeinMMO has put together an overview of all Dungeons in this article and regularly updates it. This article was last updated on December 1, 2023, with information about the Season 23 Dungeon “Ruin of the Warlord”.

[toc]

What are Dungeons in Destiny 2? In Destiny 2, Dungeons are a type of small endgame activity for up to 3 players. They are fundamentally similar to a Raid, as they contain multiple end bosses as well as mechanics and puzzles. However, they are designed for 3 players instead of 6. Therefore, Dungeons are often referred to as Mini-endgame activities and usually offer an exotic weapon to hunt for.

Bungie committed to releasing more regular endgame content drops during the major reveal of “The Witch Queen,” and Dungeons are a key part of that.

Dungeons offer a cool mini-endgame for up to 3 players – and some cool armor.

In 2023, 2 new Dungeons were added to the 6 already known ones. They will come into play on a rotating basis with the Raids. This means that players in the Lightfall Seasons 21 and 23 have each seen brand new Dungeons added.

Who can play the Dungeons? Dungeons used to be included and a standard part of the expansion with which they were launched, meaning they were playable at no extra cost. However, Bungie has revised its offer model in this regard and eliminated the sale of Dungeons as an inclusive offer in October 2021.

  • For players who purchased the exclusive Deluxe Edition of “Lightfall” along with the additional Season Passes for Year 6, the 2 new Dungeons are still included.
  • However, those who bought the standard versions of “Lightfall” plus the additional Season Passes for Year 6 cannot play the new Dungeons. The two DLC Dungeons are therefore offered separately for interested players, which is more expensive compared to the complete package.
  • Only the Prophecy Dungeon was a gift from Bungie to its players and can be played for free by anyone at any time.

von Britta ♤ BeAngel

How long does a Dungeon take? Normally, you should plan 1-2 hours for the initial exploration of a Dungeon. The duration of the activity always depends on your fireteam. A well-coordinated fireteam can of course be much faster, especially if the mechanics are already known.

Currently, you can play the following Dungeons in Destiny 2:

Dungeon “The Shattered Throne”

The Shattered Throne (eng. The Shattered Throne) is a Dungeon in Destiny 2, released on September 25, 2018, with the Forsaken expansion.

destiny 2 zerbrochener thron 2
In the Dungeon “The Shattered Throne,” it’s dark and eerie.

How to start the Dungeon: The Dungeon used to be hidden behind a secret portal in the Dreaming City and was only available every three weeks. This was the case whenever the curse had reached its maximum level. However, Bungie has changed this, so players can now select the Dungeon anytime directly through the Navigator in the Dreaming City.

This Exotic awaits you in the Dungeon: In the Dungeon “The Shattered Throne,” you can earn the exotic bow “Wishender”. This is possible through a quest.

The exotic bow provides the following benefits:

  • Wrath of the Queen: When using the aiming device with a fully drawn bow, enemies behind walls are marked.
  • High-Voltage String: Increases precision, slightly slower draw, reduces stability slightly.
  • Anti-Possessed Feather: Specializes against possessed targets, increases precision.
  • Broadhead: Penetrating arrow tip that damages the target on both entry and exit. A shot can penetrate multiple targets.
More on the topic
Destiny 2: How to Get the Wishender – The Broken Throne
von Tom Rothstein

By the way: The egg-shaped possessed crystals found all over the Dreaming City can be eliminated with the Wishender. For that, you receive legendary loot.

What is the Dungeon about? You must enter Eleusinia, the Throne World of Queen Mara Sov, to fight your way past a horde of possessed enemies. The goal is to find the source of corruption that has taken over the Dreaming City since the revelations from the “Last Wish” Raid. Players will first enter the dark Throne World of Mara Sov, which offers some surprises.

There are 3 areas to master:

  • Complete the symbol puzzle in Erebus.
  • Fight your way past Vorgeth, the Endless Hunger.
  • Find Dûl Incaru, Savathun’s daughter, and “the eternal return” in order to defeat her.

Dungeon “Pit of Heresy”

Pit of Heresy (eng. Pit of Heresy) is a Dungeon in Destiny 2 that was introduced on October 29, 2019, with the Shadowkeep expansion.

How to start the Dungeon: In order to start the Dungeon, you must first complete the quest “Big Trouble” with Eris Morn on the Moon. Once that is done, you can start the “Pit of Heresy” directly through the Navigator on the Moon.

This Exotic awaits you in the Dungeon: The Pit holds the exotic machine gun “Xenophage” for you. To get the exotic MG from Shadowkeep, you must complete the quest “The Journey” (eng. The Journey).

The exotic machine gun provides the following benefits:

  • Pyrotoxin Rounds – fires powerful explosive ammunition.
  • Messanger – increases the already high range when aiming (71/100).
  • Large Caliber Rounds – shots push enemies back further.

Tinkerer invests months of his life, combines woodworking with 3D printing: “I built a PC, but it moves”

A tinkerer demonstrates in a YouTube video how he has crafted custom fronts for his gaming PC over months of meticulous work. The unique aspect is the moving elements that create stunning effects.

Finding a stylish PC case is not difficult. Manufacturers offer a huge selection of different variants to cater to every taste.

A tinkerer, however, is not satisfied with the case selection from manufacturers. Thanks to his passion for woodworking and 3D printing, he creates a custom case for his gaming PC. The designs are very artistic and visually appealing. The project becomes truly unique with the moving elements in the case front.

On his YouTube channel Ideal Idea, tinkerer Robert presents this current project, leaving many in the community with dropped jaws. He took inspiration from a case that was presented at CES 2022.

“I spent the last few months” – Complicated design with fantastic results

What does the video show? Tinkerer Robert has only uploaded a few videos on his YouTube channel Ideal Idea. But in each video, he demonstrates his craftsmanship with impressive achievements within the individual projects.

In the current video, he is working on building a custom PC case with a kinetic front. Initially, Robert has chosen 3 different designs. Each design is unique and varies in the difficulty of realization. Highlights are definitely the moving elements in the front, powered by mechanical parts and gears.

For the first concept, the tinkerer needs a manageable number of 14 moving elements for his idea. The result is 3 round cutouts, each with the same delicate pattern. The shape is most reminiscent of a moving kaleidoscope.

Excited by his own work, he skips the second concept and goes directly to work on concept number 3. Its design is much more complicated to produce. Many small hexagonal blocks move back and forth in a specific pattern. This creates a stunning wave or breath effect. To realize this idea, an incredible 885 elements and components were necessary, all of which are movable.

How did Robert approach this project? From the idea to the complete implementation, it took many months. Each individual component had to be custom-made, designed, and produced. He repeatedly faced difficulties that cost him a lot of time.

In the description of his video, he says: “I spent the last few months working out the mechanical parts for this custom PC build since I have no idea what I’m doing, but wanted to create a really complicated design.”

To give his creations a stable base, he initially builds a wooden PC case. The wooden case is simply placed over the existing case of his PC. This allows him to quickly swap his unique fronts with a few simple moves. Recently, another YouTuber also crafted a wooden PC case.

He has assembled the custom fronts with great care. Both variants used wood and plastic parts as materials. To also “breathe life” into the moving elements, he uses a palm-sized microcontroller called Arduino. After successful programming, he was able to control a small motor. The motor ultimately provided the movement within the elements.

What tools were used? Starting with initial concept drawings, the tinkerer relied on various tools to realize his idea. In the video, a 3D laser printer for cutting shapes out of wood and plastic, as well as a 3D printer for producing the necessary components, can be seen alongside his own craftsmanship.

In his explanations, he also occasionally shows the 3D designs created on the PC for the project. All visible elements are made of wood. Mechanical components like gears are predominantly made of plastic.

In the 28 minutes, Robert focuses primarily on clarifying the creation process. It is meant to serve more as personal inspiration and less as a guide. It almost feels like a documentary.

Both end results are truly impressive and clearly demonstrate the attention to detail and care with which the tinkerer has approached this.

Player takes 5 years in Pokémon GO to reach a crazy milestone

In Pokémon GO, every player can focus on what they enjoy the most. One player has now completed a Pokédex of a different kind.

What is it about? On Reddit, a player reports that he has spent the last 5 years in the game completing a very special Pokédex. Unlike other players whose focus is on collecting, he focused on 420 different Pokémon with exactly 420 CP.

He calls this Pokédex “TheFortWentyDex”. All 420 different Pokémon he has immortalized in this Pokédex also received their own nickname from him.

In addition to the actual collection, he also collected 120 duplicates with 420 CP over time.

The community is excited

What does the community say about it? The responses to this special Pokédex are very positive. Besides a number of, how could it be otherwise, “nice” comments, the creativity in naming is also highlighted. The trainer is praised for his perseverance.

  • Bonus points for having Kikugi (No. 420) in the collection!, commented one on reddit
  • Another one states The commitment… is damn high.

What does the trainer say about it? After the trainer has worked on this collection for the last 5 years, this project is now successfully completed for him. However, there were also stumbling blocks, such as a sudden change in CP by Niantic: That was in 2018, at that time I only had 6 420 CP Pokémon. Let’s hope they never do a rebalancing again.

In this collection, he was only interested in the CP values. When asked how it is determined with the IV values of the Pokémon, he answers that he doesn’t even know them.

How did the trainer approach collecting? He leveled most Pokémon in this collection up to exactly 420 CP. He also used the app PokéGenie to specifically search for the evolved Pokémon. How PokéGenie works, you can find out here. Additionally, the trainer explains that he had a self-imposed rule that he had to catch every 420 CP Pokémon in the wild – even if he already had it.

What is the trainer’s next goal? He states that he does not yet know what to do with himself. The community has of course made appropriate suggestions for him.

One of the suggestions is that he could take on the same project with the numbers 69 and 666 next. The trainer comments that he has already collected some specimens of these. However, the space needed in the Pokémon storage box would likely be a bigger problem for him.

Have you undertaken such projects in Pokémon GO? What special collections are you working on? Perhaps the Pokémon GO events in December can help you with your personal collections.

GTA 6: Date and Time for Trailer Now Confirmed – It Starts on Tuesday

Now it is clear when the trailer for GTA 6 will be released. In just a few days it will be time and the first official artwork already gives an impression.

When will the GTA 6 trailer be released? On Tuesday, December 5 at 3:00 PM German time it will be time. This was announced by Rockstar Games in a post (via X.com), which announces the highly anticipated trailer for the new GTA.

Rockstar simply did this with the following image:

GTA 6 Announcement

In addition to the time and date, the image also shows a graphic that would fit well with the style of GTA Vice City. The palm trees, color scheme, and birds could be an initial hint at the city as a new location – leaks and rumors about Vice City in GTA 6 have certainly been abundant in recent years.

What is ultimately in the trailer remains to be seen. It is also still unclear when the game itself will be released.

Has the wait finally come to an end?

Fans are eagerly waiting for the trailer: Rockstar announced at the beginning of November 2023 that the trailer for the “next Grand Theft Auto” will be released in December. This certainly got the hype machine going, as rumors have been swirling for years regarding the successor to GTA 5.

After fans had been waiting ages for news about the game, more and more signs of life from GTA 6 are now emerging. Now it remains to be seen what Rockstar will show in the first trailer.

In the subreddit for GTA 6, excitement is already brewing (via reddit): Players joke that they can hardly believe that the forum could soon transform into a real GTA 6 forum, rather than one just focused on leaks and rumors. Others can hardly believe that GTA 6 is apparently getting closer.

The wait has also been bridged by GTA Online:

Years of waiting: GTA 5 was originally announced in October 2011 and released in September 2013. So it has been over 10 years since GTA 5 first flickered across screens – and the wait for the successor has increasingly turned into an endless story.

To put this into context: Here you will find a list of things that have happened in the 10 years since the release of GTA 5.

Main actors of Supernatural tease a possible continuation – “Discussions are currently being held about it”

Actually, the fantasy series Supernatural concluded with Season 15. However, at a convention in November 2023, it sounded like there might still be hope for a continuation. The two lead actors Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles teased a possible return of Sam and Dean.

The fantasy series Supernatural ran for a total of 15 years. Between 2005 and 2020, 15 seasons and 327 episodes were released before the series was canceled.

Even though Supernatural got a spin-off series The Winchesters in 2022, the main story surrounding the two Winchester brothers was concluded.

However, at a convention panel with the two lead actors, it sounded like there might still be hope for another season.

Here you can see a trailer for the beginnings of Supernatural from 2005:

The convention Creation Honolulu took place from November 17 to 19, 2023. During this event, the two main actors of Supernatural, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, were available for fans’ questions during a panel.

During the panel, the two suggested that perhaps the series might continue after all. Currently, they are thinking about more Winchester stories and discussing possible plans.

“I have some ideas, and I hope that now that the writers and the actors are back, we can all come together, explained Jared Padalecki.

Jensen Ackles added that fans should stay tuned. “There are currently some discussions on this topic,” said the actor who plays Dean.

Whether they are focusing on another season of Supernatural or a continuation in the form of a movie or spin-off, the two actors did not specify.

For fans of Chicago Fire, however, there is bad news, as you can read here from our colleagues at Moviepilot: Lead actor from Supernatural teases a possible continuation – “There are currently some discussions being held on this”

The new extraction shooter Hawked begins early access on Steam. A colorful shooter with a lot of action that takes you to a special island with hidden treasures. MeinMMO reveals what to expect.

Since November 30th, you can play the third-person shooter Hawked from My.Games, initially only in early access. The colorful free game promises a lot of action with the new trailer. It is also an extraction shooter. The basic gameplay experience is fight, loot, escape, repeat.

New extraction shooter Hawked starts in early access on Steam – Trailer

On expedition in teamwork – unearthed artifacts and escape victorious

What kind of game is this? In the world of Hawked, the GRAIL, an adventure guild, has discovered a mysterious island called X-Isle. As players, you are renegades, also called traitors, and you are dropped on this mysterious island full of ruins and ancient sites to search for old relics of a long-forgotten civilization.

But these temples are not just abandoned – they are guarded by traps and puzzles protecting the treasure chambers from grave robbers. You can expect hidden treasures, dangerous creatures, and tricky challenges.

Along with a team of three, you embark on a captivating mission, face off against other players and monsters, solve small puzzles, and collect glyphs that lead you to the main artifact – giving you a powerful advantage.

The goal is to escape the island safely without losing your loot to the competition. If you die, you lose your loot. If you escape with the powerful artifact, you can use and upgrade it in the next games.

What else can you expect in Hawked? A striking feature of the shooter is its unique visuals. The battles are accompanied by visual representations reminiscent of comic books – for example, with a Bang when shooting. The characters and some environments are marked with distinctive hatching that also evokes the charm of comics.

The dynamic island is meant to evolve with each run, creating a unique experience and new challenges. After surviving successfully on the island, renegades can be upgraded and equipped with new abilities.

When is the full release? According to the developers, Hawked is planned to be released as a full version in early 2024. During the entire early access phase, the developers intend to work on the game and polish it based on player feedback.

After the release, they plan to deliver regular seasonal updates with a wealth of new content, including equipment, artifacts, modes, and new storylines.

One Piece: Fans discuss about Devil Fruits that are far too rare – One of them is Zorro’s personal nightmare

Many of the strongest fighters from the Anime One Piece have eaten a Devil Fruit. The Devil Fruits are sometimes more, sometimes less useful. Unfortunately, not every fruit can make its big appearance, which is why fans are now listing the most exciting Devil Fruits with minimal screen time.

What are the Devil Fruits?

  • When consuming a Devil Fruit, the person gains special powers
  • Each Devil Fruit and its powers are unique
  • There are three different types: Logia, Zoan, and Paramecia. With Logia powers, the affected can transform their body into an element, Paramecia powers have various properties, and Zoan fruits grant the ability to transform into another being.
  • While the affected person gains the power of the Devil Fruit, they lose the ability to swim

The protagonist Monkey D. Luffy, for example, has eaten a fruit that turns him into a rubber man. There are many Devil Fruits that fans of One Piece immediately think of, whether it’s Ace’s Fire Fruit or Buggy’s Separation Fruit.

However, there are some Devil Fruits that are only briefly seen. Many users find this disappointing in the reddit forum because some of the fruits have particularly great potential.

Even in the Egghead Arc, there will likely be new Devil Fruits:

Start video
One Piece: New trailer shows first images from the Egghead Island arc

One Piece: These Devil Fruits are seen far too rarely

Which Devil Fruit comes to fans’ minds first? User Jellyfish mentions the Rust Fruit. This is a Devil Fruit that was eaten by Marine Captain Shuu. He gains the ability to make metal rust.

In the anime, he is involved in a fight with swordsman Roronoa Zoro. Shuu manages to rust Zoro’s sword before Zoro can touch the captain. Imagine how it would be if Zoro’s latest swords suddenly succumbed to rust. Then the straw hat pirate wouldn’t look so good.

The Marine Captain only appears during the Buster Call at Enies Lobby. After that, he has no further appearances, and thus the potential of the fruit is wasted. In the right hands, a pirate could have disarmed all Marines or pirates.

What other fruits are there? User Vent_Reynolt also mentions Bellamy’s Spiral Fruit. The pirate has the power to turn his body parts into springs. According to the user, Bellamy only jumped around because of the power, but in his opinion, it had much more potential.

The Devil Fruit allowed him to store energy in the springs and thus perform even stronger jumps. Vent_Reynolt thinks that in this way, the energy of enemy attacks could even be stored and redirected at the enemy.

Other Devil Fruits that come to the user’s mind are:

  • Bomb-Bomb Fruit (makes things explode on touch)
  • Swamp Fruit (can transform its surroundings into a swamp and store things and people in it)
  • Trap-Door Fruit (creates a door to an intermediate world from which the person can travel anywhere)

However, there are also users who note that there are countless fruits that come up short in the anime. Some of them have great potential, while others were rightly removed from the anime after a brief appearance.

There are not only Devil Fruits that are underused but also characters from One Piece that we see far too rarely: There are many cool characters in One Piece, but we see these 5 far too rarely

7 vs. Wild Season 3: Because Knossi overslept, his whole team almost got eliminated 

Jens “Knossi” Knossalla (37) told a story in a React to the first episode of 7 vs. Wild Season 3 that has not been seen in the “Behind the Scenes” format so far. He and his teammate forgot to send a life signal on one of the first evenings, which is why the rescue team was dispatched.

How did it come to this? Knossi told in his React to the first episode of 7 vs. Wild Season 3 that he and his teammate Sascha Huber (31) forgot to send the “Code Green” signal on one of the first days in the wilderness. The signal must be sent in the morning and evening to confirm that both participants are doing well. The two simply fell asleep in the evening without sending the signal.

The signal is sent via a small transmitter that works like an old satellite phone. Messages can also be delayed if there is no reception. For the organizing team behind 7 vs. Wild Season 3, this always means some uncertainty when a signal is missing. Especially in the high fire risk, the organizing team remains very vigilant.

Why is there this transmitter? The transmitter is for safety and replaces the mobile phones that were still used in Season 1. Since Season 2, the devices exist primarily because they also work when there are no cell towers nearby. This was the case in Panama in Season 2 and is now also the case in Season 3 in Canada, as the making-of of the series reveals. The transmitter is the only way to communicate with the team.

Here you can see an excerpt of the story.

The rescue team of 7 vs. Wild set out to rescue Knossi and Sascha, but the two were only sleeping

What happened when the organizing team did not receive a “Code Green” signal? When the rescue team did not receive a “Code Green” signal for too long at the base camp, they presumably set out for the missing team. Knossi told us in his stream about the “rescue” from his perspective:

“I thought I was dreaming all of a sudden, KNOSSI-SASCHA-KNOSSI-SASCHA-KNOSSI-SASCHA!” When Knossi was woken up, a light inferno is said to have played out before his eyes. “You didn’t press! You didn’t press!” a rescuer is said to have shouted at Knossi.

How did the situation end? Knossi is said to have tried to calm the rescuers by confirming to them that both were doing well. “We are alive, we are alive, I tell them, we are alive, we are alive, yes, we are alive, we are alive […]” Knossi is said to have shouted to the rescuers. His partner Sascha Huber is also said to have been overwhelmed by the situation. Influencer Knossi does not reveal an exact ending to this event, but ultimately it did not lead to an elimination.

In this case, the security concept seems to have worked well, and in case of emergency, the team would likely have been rescued. In another case, however, Knossi was disappointed by the production company.

A gamer shows how much more performance there could be if AMD and Nvidia collaborated

What happens when you combine the technologies of AMD and Nvidia? The result is impressive, as a gamer just shows.

Both AMD and Nvidia offer their own ecosystems when it comes to graphics cards. Certain features, such as Nvidia’s DLSS or AMD’s Fluid Motion Frames technology, can only be used on the graphics cards of the respective manufacturer.

A user has now combined the two technologies and created a massive performance boost. However, the whole action was not entirely straightforward, as the colleagues from WCCFtech explain.

Theoretically, you could recreate the experiment, but you will also need two different graphics cards: one from AMD and one from Nvidia. Additionally, you will need a corresponding motherboard where the PCIe slots are positioned favorably so that the two graphics cards can be combined.

Combination of two similar techniques offers enormous performance boost

What exactly did the user use? The user on the Chinese website Quasarzone combined software from AMD and Nvidia:

  • Nvidia’s DLSS3 was the first implementation of frame interpolation on gaming PCs. This technology essentially doubles the frames by inserting an AI-generated image that often looks better than the native image. DLSS 3 is integrated into the game using the source code that is accessible through the DLSS SDK from NVIDIA.
  • AMD’s “Fluid Motion Frames technology” is enabled on the driver side and not through the game code like DLSS. The image quality of AMD’s software is not very detailed, but it supports more games.

Both technologies serve a similar purpose and are both intended to significantly increase FPS. However, they work completely differently. For both to be used simultaneously, a system is required that supports both AMD and Nvidia software. To achieve this, the user came up with a trick:

The system outputs the image on the display via the AMD graphics card, but the calculations should be taken over by the Nvidia graphics card’s GPU.

What does the experiment bring? Depending on the game, the combination of AMD and Nvidia provides you with a significant performance boost: In Cyberpunk 2077 with 4K resolution, using both technologies resulted in a gain of almost three times the native resolution:

Even in comparison, if the software had been used without the combination. 100% represents the base performance of the game:

  • The game with DLSS enabled offers 47% more FPS (147% vs 100%)
  • Cyberpunk 2077 with “Fluid Motion Frames technology” activated delivers 99% more FPS (199% vs 100%)
  • Combining both technologies in Cyberpunk 2077 even achieves 191.9% more FPS (291.9% vs 100%).

However, not all games benefit from the boost: Both Starfield and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart also showed a performance boost, but the image quality suffers quite a bit.

It was one of the best-selling graphics cards from Nvidia, and yet it is AMD that significantly extends its lifespan in gaming

YouTuber builds a ‘real’ PS5 Slim, is only as big as a shoebox

Sony’s new PS5 Slim is now available, a YouTuber has now presented a PS5 that is only half the size.

The YouTube channel “Not From Concentrate (NFC)” has designed a particularly small PS5. This one is only half the size of the normal PS5, but the conversion was not exactly cheap.

The YouTuber has been focusing on shrinking PC systems for years, using various devices and 3D printers to realize some really impressive projects.

The presented PS5 resembles in size and design a bit of the old external hard drive cases that one used to have on their desk.

The official video from “Not From Concentrate (NFC)”

Is the new PS5 barely hotter than the official model?

What hardware has he installed? He replaced the original power supply with a 250-W HDPlex GaN power supply. This is a particularly small power supply. For cooling, an Alpenföhn Black Ridge and a Noctua Chromax with 120 mm are used.

The PS5’s drive does not fit in the case anymore. For this reason, the YouTuber has converted the drive into a kind of external drive. At the same time, the drive must be connected to the official PS5 board, which makes the conversion a bit more complicated.

For the fan and the control buttons, the YouTuber had to use some additional components and created some parts with his 3D printer.

Are there also disadvantages? Yes, the effort behind the conversion of the PS5 is enormous. The YouTuber invested many hours of work into the conversion, and especially the complicated electronics behind the drive and certain buttons required a lot of precision.

Another disadvantage is that the new PS5 gets a few degrees warmer than the official model. However, according to “Not From Concentrate (NFC)” this should not be a problem.

Can I recreate this? Most parts, such as the power supply or the fans, can be purchased easily in stores. The YouTuber also uses the official hardware of the PS5. However, for many details, such as the additional electronics, the buttons, or the case, the YouTuber uses self-designed components. This makes the recreation difficult.

PS5 conversion: A company now offers an official conversion kit for the PS5. This costs a hefty 800 euros, and you cannot use the kit for a PS5 with a drive. However, your PS5 will not necessarily become smaller, but significantly larger. All details can be found in the following article on MeinMMO:

A company claims to have found “the solution to the main problem of the PS5”: demands around 800 euros for it

7 vs. Wild Season 3: No one expected it, but 2 teams are super successful where others fail

In episode 10 of 7 vs. Wild season 3, two teams are particularly successful in foraging for food. Other teams are meanwhile plagued by hunger and circulatory problems.

Warning, this article contains spoilers for episodes 1–10 of 7 vs. Wild season 3

Who is it about? In episode 10 of 7 vs. Wild season 3, two teams have a good hand at catching fish and sea creatures. The team of Ann-Kathrin “Affe auf Bike” Bendixen (23) and Hannah Assil (32) catches a large crab that they prepare on site.

The community favorites Jens “Knossi” Knossala (37) and Sascha Huber (31) also have some fishing successes in episode 10, as the two influencers catch several fish with nets and traps. This is a big success for both teams as the food provides them with much-needed energy.

How is the food situation with the other teams? The situation is tense for the other teams. Jan Schlappen, who forms a team with substitute candidate Joey Kelly (50), is acutely suffering from hunger. In the episode, he feels weak and falls asleep unwillingly. He reports in the episode about a gloomy state because he has had so little success in foraging for food so far.

The team of Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler and Emilian “Rumathra” Welte also has no luck in the current episode when it comes to finding food. The fish trap set up by the team has been washed away by the tide.

Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller and Dominik “Reeze” Reezmann seem to have given up on foraging for food altogether, after they had such disappointing prospects last time.

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

A team had to be rescued from the wilderness due to a circulatory collapse

What happened? In episode 9, Gerrit Rösel (32) from the Naturensöhne suffered from ongoing circulatory issues. The contestant had already stated in the acceptance for the survival project that he has heart problems.

In episode 10, he reveals that his doctor had already warned him before the series that such complaints could occur. In the last episode, he already had blackouts.

After the participants wake up in the morning, Gerrit tells his teammate Andreas “Andy” Schulze (33) that he is not feeling any better. The two decide to take the path to the freshwater spring and hope for improvement. On the way to the spring, Gerrit collapses and falls to the ground.

After a short time, he regains consciousness, but the team decides after long consideration to send the “Code-Yellow” signal.

How does the rescue go? With a camera cut to the camp of the organizing team, we see one of the rescuers at the base camp. Initially, it is assumed that it might be a false alarm because the Naturensöhne usually send a “Code-Green” at this time, which is a signal that everything is fine. However, when the second “Code-Yellow” signal reaches the base camp, it becomes clear that the team truly needs to be extracted.

The rescue teams rush to the Naturensöhne by speedboat. Gerrit is meanwhile suffering from circulatory disturbances to such an extent that he can barely make it to the landed speedboat. Two rescuers have to carry him the last few meters onto the boat.

Even though there is no acute emergency, a person with medical training is also on board, who takes care of Gerrit immediately. We learn nothing about the exact medical circumstances, but Gerrit has been appearing in many videos of the Naturensöhne since Canada, so he seems to be doing well.

There is always criticism of 7 vs. Wild season 3, recently Fritz Meinecke criticized the new production company.

4 improvements in Baldur’s Gate 3 that make the Game of the Year 2023 even better

Baldur’s Gate 3 has introduced four changes with the extensive Patch 5 that make the game even cooler. MeinMMO reveals the details to you.

Baldur’s Gate 3, the award-winning Ultimate Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards, has once again released an extensive, impressive patch. The patch notes for Patch 5 are packed with improvements and changes. But we want to particularly focus on four aspects that are celebrated by the community.

Select a MMO video…

Community celebrates the new highlights, especially one change to the inventory

These improvements are about:

Expanded Ending: Starting with Patch 5, there is a completely new ending scene based on the decisions made in the game. The ending of the game left some players dissatisfied. To avoid revealing too much, we will keep this as spoiler-free as possible. In any case, there are brand new scenes. Even if you have already finished the game, you can still experience the new ending by loading a save before the last battle.

New extra hard game mode: In addition to the already existing three difficulty levels, there is now the Honour mode – a kind of hardcore mode. This mode not only increases the difficulty level in and outside of combat, but also introduces over 30 adjustments to all boss fights. For example, bosses receive additional legendary actions.

No savescumming in this mode: Loading previous saves is disabled. Those who can complete the challenge from start to finish – without a party wipe – earn a golden dice skin.

In addition to the new game mode, there is now also a Custom Mode, allowing you to adjust the difficulty at will and make certain aspects of the game harder or easier. These homemade rules enable you to customize the gaming experience to your own preferences.

Tavern Brawler now works with the Druid: All Moon Druid fans pay attention. The Tavern Brawler talent now works with your hybrid form, which can be incredibly powerful. When you perform an unarmed attack with your shape, you add your strength modifier to your damage and attack rolls twice.

Improved inventory management: Larian Studios has made improvements to the inventory. In the storage, you can now access and manage the inventory of all companions without them being in the active party. So you no longer need to take the companions into the party just to rearrange it.

At first glance, it may seem like a small feature to many, but it is celebrated the most by the community, as players share it on Reddit . We have summarized some comments about Patch 5 for you.

This is what the community says:

  • yohanleafheart is happy about the inventory change and sums it up: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES. This comment has received the most upvotes, with over 3,500.
  • Pepello writes: FUCK YEAH, I could kiss the developers for this.
  • rjabber also cheers about the inventory and praises the developers: Hooray. This was number 1 for me. Great game and Larian is doing a wonderful job.
  • Rolloftape23456: […]Tavern Brawler now also works for Wild Shapes, which has just made druids one of the best classes in the game. […]

In addition to these mentioned highlights, another aspect cannot be overlooked. Minthara could only be officially recruited if you sided with the evil side. Now it is also possible if you knock her out in combat, meaning not kill her. Later in the game, you can then convince her to join your group – and yes, the tieflings should also be able to survive with this change.

A mode from CoD: MW2 was considered a highlight, will no longer be supported in MW3 and Warzone

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 brought a new mode that many players extensively played for several hours in addition to Warzone – the DMZ mode. Now, a year has passed since its release in beta and as Season 1 in MW3 approaches, the developers have revealed that the mode will no longer be supported.

What is the DMZ mode? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 launched with its campaign, Warzone 2, and its multiplayer. The developers also implemented the DMZ mode as a beta version to provide players with more variety.

The DMZ mode behaves like an extraction shooter. You land on a large map, collect items and weapons, complete missions, defend yourself against bots and regular players, and then try to escape the map safely. Many players celebrated the experiment by Activision and also hoped that the developers would further expand the mode in the future.

With the release of Season 1 in MW3, this is supposed to change, as the developers have, albeit indirectly, made it clear that DMZ will soon no longer be supported.

DMZ will no longer be supported in Warzone and MW3

What do the developers say? In an official blog post from Call of Duty, upcoming content for Warzone and MW3 was published. The developers revealed not only new weapons, an event, and the upcoming battle pass, but also clarified what is supposed to happen with the DMZ mode from MW2. The developers had the following to say:

[…] From the start of the first season next week, DMZ beta players can continue the mode through the Call of Duty: Warzone section of the COD headquarters. The DMZ beta remains fully playable across all current DMZ content, including Al Mazrah, Ashika Island, the Koschei Complex, Building 21, Vondel, and all DMZ missions. The mode will not be available or interact directly with Modern Warfare III or Call of Duty: Warzone, which means that progression and all new Modern Warfare III or Warzone content, including battle pass or store bundles, will not be synchronized or transferred back into this DMZ mode. Additionally, DMZ progression will not count towards new battle passes starting from season 1. […]

via callofduty.com

Moreover, they thank the community for their active support and feedback over the past months. With the learnings from the beta, the developers can improve their development in the future when it comes to this type of mode.

DMZ will thus not be completely shut down in this case, but rather left as it is in its current state. It is highly likely that no further updates will follow.

MWZ is the new DMZ: MW3 with its MWZ mode also has a DMZ mode, but with zombies. This mode will, unlike DMZ, be further expanded and supplied with new content.

New weapons, items, and also a new storyline will be added to keep players engaged. One might say that DMZ is now being replaced by MWZ. Whether Call of Duty releases a new DMZ in a modified form every year is unknown, but it could be possible.

We will have to wait and see how far MWZ will be supported and when the day will come that this mode will also reach its expiration date.

What do you think about DMZ no longer being supported? Did you enjoy DMZ or do you think it’s good that there’s a greater focus on MWZ? Let us know in the comments.
