Fortnite: Players plan special map farewell – Want to stop fighting for one day

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

In Fortnite, the majority of players are currently enjoying the old air of Chapter 1, with weapon and map changes occurring rapidly, though they are only temporary. Season: OG is supposed to end in December, and therefore the community is already planning a farewell for the old map.

What is Fortnite: OG? Fortnite is currently in one of its shortest seasons ever. This is called Season: OG and takes players back to the time when the Chapter 1 map was still new. In the few weeks players have to explore the old map, map changes are implemented rapidly and old weapon metas are unpacked to keep things fresh.

Since the introduction of OG Fortnite has been able to enjoy a boom in players. And so that Chapter 1 does not disappear silently when the farewell comes, fans want to celebrate the map properly at the end of Chapter 4.

Did you miss the Season: OG trailer? Then we have just the right video for you:

Players Call for a Ceasefire in Fortnite

What kind of event is this? In a TikTok by Mr. Lawyer with 5.2 million views, the well-known TikToker talks about an event that is supposed to take place in Fortnite. However, this is not an official event, but a community event where players want to establish a ceasefire.

Here we have embedded the TikTok video from Mr. Lawyer:

The event is set to take place on 02.12.2023 and aims to ensure that players do not fight each other, but rather can take a last farewell from the Chapter 1 map. There will be a live event at the end of Season: OG, and it is therefore unclear whether the Chapter 1 map could ever return.

So that players can say goodbye, fans want to lay down their weapons and explore the map one last time peacefully. It is unclear whether the community will adhere to this, as Mr. Lawyer also doubts it – but it is still a touching idea.

Will Fortnite be deleted after Chapter 4? Already towards the end of Chapter 1, rumors circulated that Fortnite would be deleted, but this turned out to be unnecessary panic. This time the same tricks are being used again to scare long-time fans – again, you should not worry.

Leakers have already been able to dig up the new map of Chapter 5 and know that Epic Games has big plans for Fortnite that will not be discarded anytime soon. So get ready for the upcoming live event and take your time to enjoy the old map of Chapter 1.

Steam: Popular action RPG competes with Diablo 4, shows roadmap, announces 2 new classes

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

Last Epoch has become a popular competitor to Diablo on Steam. The action RPG has now announced two new classes.

Which game is it about?

  • Last Epoch is an action RPG on Steam that features a time travel mechanic that allows you to travel through different eras during the story.
  • Developed by the American studio Eleventh Hour Games, the action RPG is played in isometric perspective and has been available in early access since April 2019.
  • In Last Epoch you can choose from 5 base classes, each of which is divided into three subclasses, called Masteries. There is also an extensive skill tree with a variety of different skills.
  • Last Epoch has also had a multiplayer feature since May 2023, which temporarily significantly increased the player numbers.

The full 1.0 release of Last Epoch is currently planned for February 21, 2024. In an update post on Steam, the developers have now given an insight into the plans for the upcoming months and revealed what you can expect before the full release.

What does the roadmap show? In the roadmap, the developers revealed when you can expect new information about certain additions that will be added to the game with the 1.0 release of Last Epoch. These include item factions, two new classes, as well as changes to the endgame systems.

You can expect new information on these dates:

  • January 11, 2024: Release of a blog post about the item factions
    • Provides more detailed information about the factions “The Merchant’s Guild,” “The Bazaar,” “Circle of Fortune,” and “Prophecies”
  • January 25, 2024: Preview of the Warlock, a new class
    • The Warlock will be the third and for now the last subclass (mastery) of the base class “Acolyte”
  • February 8, 2024: Preview of the Falconer, a new class
    • The Falconer will be the third and for now the last subclass (mastery) of the base class “Rogue”

What else has been announced? Eleventh Hour Games has not only mentioned some dates when you can expect new information about the two upcoming subclasses and the item factions. In the blog post on Steam, there was also talk of an update for the shaman subclass. While there is no complete rework of the shaman planned, the goal is to bring it up to par with the other masteries.

Even though Eleventh Hour Games has not revealed any details, a rework of the “Tempest Strike” skill and changes to the passive tree are planned. The shaman is also set to receive a new, yet unrevealed skill.

Additionally, there will be changes to the endgame of Last Epoch, specifically to the echo modifiers and the corruption system. The team aims to ensure that the strength of an opponent depends less on the echo modifiers and more on its natural strength and corruption.

While the echo modifiers will become weaker and last for less time, the corruption scaling will be reinforced, making corruption the primary method of scaling difficulty in the end game of Last Epoch.

The Warlock and the Falconer are the last two subclasses that Last Epoch will receive before the 1.0 release. Just in September 2023, the Runemaster was introduced as the third mastery class of the mage:

Baldur’s Gate 3: Player accidentally revives dead cat, still gets beaten up by friends

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

The community praises Baldur’s Gate 3 for the many possibilities the game offers. Most of it seems planned. However, some interactions apparently are bugs. A player has now discovered what happens when he throws a certain cat in Act 3 – and warns others not to do the same.

Spoiler Warning: We are addressing a point from the main story in Act 3.

What’s up with the cat?

  • Räupchen, or in English Grub, is Yenna’s cat. You meet the lively girl in Act 3 of the game.
  • Yenna and Räupchen are important for the story of the game: Orin, one of the 3 antagonists and a shapeshifter, might take Yenna as a victim and abduct her.
  • However, before that, she will kill Räupchen – and in the form of Yenna, make your whole party eat her flesh as a stew.

This is what happens after the throw: At this point, the user lalo___cura on Reddit found the lifeless body of Räupchen in his camp. To prevent the corpse from just lying around, the player wanted to “pack her with the other corpses” in his crate.

However, since the cat’s body overwhelmed him and he didn’t want to “sneak” to the chest, he decided to throw the corpse without thinking, with serious consequences. lalo___cura reports:

  • Räupchen suddenly stood up again and hissed at him
  • A fight immediately broke out between him and the cat
  • As a result, all the other companions also joined the fight – on the cat’s side
  • Even the dog Kratzer, whom he actually doesn’t have in the camp, appeared

In the end, his companions beat him to death. Jaheira, who is actually something like the strict mother of the camp, supposedly said: “Woe to you if you die on me now!”, while she finally snuffed out his lights.

“He warned you. You didn’t want to listen”

The thread received over 6,800 upvotes and 300 comments within a day, making it one of the largest in the subreddit for Baldur’s Gate 3. Other fans have quite biting comments for the unfortunate one.

For instance, it is said: Räupchen warned him. If you ask the cat with the spell “Speak with Animals” if you may pet her, Räupchen declines. The tomcat doesn’t want that. Others are glad that the cat is okay – the well-being of the player is of secondary importance.

Räupchen is apparently not the only corpse you shouldn’t mess with. Another player killed the devil Raphael and took his body to teach the demoness Mizora a lesson.

Wyll and his father didn’t take that well and attacked him right away. From my own experience, I can also say that even living cats don’t make very good missiles.

Once I threw a very arrogant four-legged creature, who called me his slave, onto the street, and the entire city guard immediately took notice of me. As a Dark Desire, that was more of a problem for the guard than for me.

An “better,” albeit questionable use for corpses has been found by another player:

For the movie Interstellar, another legendary director was originally planned

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

Interstellar is considered a science fiction masterpiece. However, Christopher Nolan was not initially planned as the director, and another legendary director wanted to direct the film.

This year, Christopher Nolan is celebrating great success with his film Oppenheimer, and alongside the Batman films and Inception, Interstellar is considered one of his most important films.

  • The science fiction film grossed over 700 million dollars and had a budget of 165 million dollars
  • Great actors like Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine, and Timothee Chalamet starred in the film
  • The film heavily incorporates scientific theories and is especially praised for its visual power and story, receiving an Oscar for its visual effects

When one thinks of Christopher Nolan’s films, Interstellar is one of the first that comes to mind. However, Steven Spielberg was originally supposed to direct the science fiction film and was involved in the conceptual phase.

More science fiction films can be found in this list:

German trailer for the sci-fi blockbuster ‘Interstellar’ by Christopher Nolan

The original idea for the film comes from producer Lynda Obst and physicist Kip Thorne. The scenario of the two began the early development of the film in 2006. Spielberg was involved at that time, and in 2007, Jonathan Nolan was brought on as the screenwriter. Christopher Nolan’s brother has written the screenplay for many of his films, such as Prestige or the entire Batman trilogy.

However, in 2009, Spielberg’s production studio DreamWorks SKG separated from Paramount Pictures and switched to Disney. Spielberg left the project, and a new director had to be found. Christopher Nolan then joined the project in 2012 and directed it.

Physicist Kip Thorne remained involved in the project from the beginning and served as a scientific advisor for Nolan. Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. distributed the film, which was released in theaters in 2014. The film was a great success, both with critics and audiences.

Spielberg’s version of Interstellar would have been different. While Nolan directed a very philosophical film with scientific theories and concepts, Spielberg would have made one of his classic adventure films.

In this version, China would have played a major role, similar to America, trying to save humanity. In the film, robots would have appeared in a Chinese space station, against which the astronauts would have had to defend themselves. On the space station, the astronauts would have received important information for saving humanity.

Wow: Asmongold sees on YouTube how a guild member completely fails – Then throws him out

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

Asmongold had to witness one of his guild members let another player fall to doom in WoW. This is so tragic because it involves a hardcore character. The death is permanent and all game progress was lost.

What was the situation? Asmongold was watching a compilation of HC deaths and discovered someone from his guild. The streamer has been playing as a hardcore character in WoW since a bet.

The video showed the player jumping off a cliff. He survived the fall because he used the Paladin ability “Divine Shield”. This grants eight seconds of immunity to all other damage.

The player then encouraged another player to jump off the cliff as well. He wanted to bestow the player with Blessing of Protection, which protects a targeted group member from damage.

The second player jumped, but no protection spell was cast on him. Therefore, he unluckily crashed to the ground and lost his character in a foolish way. The character was level 51, which likely took over 100 gameplay hours.

How did Asmongold react? The streamer and YouTuber was shocked that one of his guild members was capable of such an act. In his view, he did not intend to protect the other player.

The falling player came into his range, but he didn’t even click on his name to give him the protection spell. Instead, he joked around on his mount.

Therefore, Asmongold called for a vote: The guild chat should decide whether the player should be kicked from the guild. Asmongold showed the evidence again in slow motion and made it clear that the player never intended to protect the other. Most members voted for a kick.

The streamer has his own views about his colleagues: Asmongold compares the Twitch streamers from Final Fantasy XIV and WoW: “Hairy men of middle age”

New MMORPG promises to avoid Pay2Win – Is it really Pay2Win in the test, quietly deleting the promise

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 3 minutes

The MMORPG Tarisland is reminiscent of WoW in its core idea. It aims to focus primarily on dungeons, raids, and a varied story, borrowing some elements from the genre king. However, the current beta test has received quite a bit of criticism. The developers have reacted, but not everything about it is positive.

What is being criticized? Tarisland promised on the website and in social media that it would not be pay-to-win. The free-to-play MMORPG should offer a shop, but the focus should primarily be on cosmetics.

In the current beta test, however, there is a system that confuses players:

  • You can directly buy gear with stats in a marketplace using silver (in-game currency).
  • While the items there are offered by players, the game allows players to exchange real money currency for silver in the same window.
  • Thus, players are indirectly encouraged to purchase better gear with real money, as the criticism goes.

Additionally, a benefit package for 5.99 euros was offered, which reduces taxes at trade posts and generally makes selling completely free. This subscription also brings advantages, such as a portable warehouse and 10% lower elan costs, which are needed for crafting. Some find these bonuses excessive.

What do the developers say about it? They responded with a statement promising changes, but were not very specific. Additionally, they quietly removed their statement that Tarisland would be an MMORPG without pay-to-win from the website and social media profiles.

Start video
Tarisland: Chinese alternative to WoW shows beautiful areas and exciting battles in the new trailer

Changes to the shop yes, but no statement on subscription and elan

What do the developers want to change? In a statement, they mentioned that they have heard the negative feedback from players. However, it mainly revolved around the issue of gear:

We want to create a fair MMORPG and have therefore decided not to sell such items in our official shop, as we consider this model to be non-P2W. Through this test, we found that our understanding of the community’s perspective differs, and we will be more cautious in our future descriptions of monetization.

Our original intention when developing this monetization model was to provide players with a smoother growth experience and to create a healthy ecosystem in the game. In the current design, all items circulating in the auction house are offered and priced directly by players, allowing them to benefit from the transactions.

At the same time, we have restricted player-to-player trading to minimize the spread of offline transactions and player losses due to gold farming studios and bots.

They did not comment on the buff for 5.99 euros and the associated elan system.

What is elan all about? This stamina system regulates how many materials you can collect and how much you can craft in general. Collecting three ores requires one elan, while crafting five copper bars requires five elan.

You receive elan automatically over time. One elan every 15 minutes. The buff, however, reduces elan costs by 10%, which offers a significant advantage in crafting. Similar systems are known from ArcheAge, Albion Online, or various mobile MMORPGs.

Are the problems really that severe? That depends on one’s own perspective. The exchange of real money for in-game currency is now possible almost everywhere, such as in Guild Wars 2 via gems, in WoW via tokens, or Black Desert via costumes. Direct pay-to-win did not exist either, as the items had to be offered by other players first.

Bonuses for quests, gold, or work points are also included in other games like Albion Online, Lost Ark, or ESO+.

Nonetheless, all these points can certainly be criticized, as can the gender lock that some dislike for the classes. It is also somewhat puzzling that they have removed the statements about being “non-pay-to-win”.

Positive aspects, however, include the dungeons, the combat system, and generally the game’s aesthetics. So not everything is automatically negative.

Twitch: „Just say when you are broke“ – Streamer wants to sell healthy cookies, responds to criticism of the price

Lydia Lydia Reading time 2 minutes

Imane “Pokimane” Anys is considered the queen of Twitch. Recently, the streamer introduced her new company for healthy yet tasty snacks, but instead of enjoying delicious cookies, fans have primarily been concerned about the price.

What are the cookies all about? On November 13, Pokimane introduced her company Myna Snacks along with the first product: The “Midnight Mini Cookies” promise “healthy” chocolate enjoyment, gluten-free, preservative-free, and enriched with vitamin D.

In an interview with USA Today, the streamer lamented a lack of tasty yet healthy food options: “When I wanted a delicious snack, it was full of unhealthy stuff. When I found something healthy, it was disgusting.” She shared this problem with Darcey Macken, the co-founder of the company who has been working with consumer goods for 15 years.

How much are the cookies supposed to cost? On the website, the cookies are available in packs of 4, 8, or 12 bags, each weighing about 114 grams. Without a subscription, the price for the four-pack is $28, approximately €25.50. 8 bags cost about €51, and 12 bags are available for €76.50 – the last two packs also come without shipping costs.

According to comments on X, formerly Twitter, many find this too expensive. Especially since fans discovered similar cookies from the same manufacturer at a significantly cheaper price. Pokimane explained that she improved the existing recipe and added vitamin D (via X).

“The perhaps worst way she could have reacted”

How did Pokimane respond to the criticism? In a stream on November 18, Pokimane addressed the criticism of the prices of her healthy cookies. She justified the costs by stating that it is, after all, about several bags.

If people say “Oh my God, $28 for cookies” – it’s 4 bags, that’s $7 per bag. I know, math is hard when you’re an idiot. But if you’re broke, just say it.

This statement, however, did not improve the situation. In the comments under the clip on X, users labeled the streamer as “insensitive” and “aloof.” One user even claimed that this might be the worst way Pokimane could have reacted (via X).

This is how Pokimane responds to the renewed criticism: On X, the streamer published a statement on November 20, explaining that the remarks were regarding a single unfriendly chatter, not her entire community.

She also emphasized that it was merely a joke. The streamer promised to continue considering the pricing to keep her snacks “as affordable as possible”.

Bringing products to market has almost become standard for influencers. MontanaBlack also released his “project of the heart” this year:

Destiny 2 has so few players that even matchmaking doesn’t always work – Expert analyzes player numbers

Britta ♤ BeAngel Britta ♤ BeAngel Reading time 4 minutes

Destiny 2 has had fewer players in the last 30 days. On the one hand, because there is always less going on at the end of a season. But also likely because the layoffs and cancellations have led to a loss of trust for some guardians. Bungie is under pressure and it could get even worse in season 23.

Why are player numbers currently declining? At the end of a season, player numbers in Destiny 2 always drop. This is nothing new. But this time it’s different.

  • The current numbers are already partially impacting endgame PvP, where it sometimes takes a long time to find a match with enough players.
  • However, PvP has always been a part of Destiny that actually always worked, even when there was little going on in PvE and the seasons.

The Forbes author Paul Tassi and Destiny expert is correspondingly concerned. He pointed out that the game is showing the lowest number of players on Steam in the last 30 days. And this is in a season that wasn’t even the worst in terms of its content in the current DLC year.

He thinks something needs to change, but he also fears that it will get much worse before it gets better.

The upcoming DLC has a clear call to all guardians:

Destiny 2: The Final Shape – The last DLC of the first saga

Bungie faces tough challenges

That’s why some players have abandoned their fate: The DLC “Lightfall” was criticized by some players in February 2023 and received poor ratings on Steam. The story was a huge cliffhanger and left too many questions unanswered.

Although the “Lightfall” seasons included some explanations for the story afterward, this did not bring some players back. They expected to experience the end of the story in the “Lightfall” campaign and not in the subsequent and paid seasons.

There were still new contents, like seasonal activities, weapons, and armor. But the core of the game changed little. For all those who have been playing Destiny 2 for a long time, it didn’t feel motivating enough after 6 years. Especially when Bungie also recycles. The detour to other, new games was much more enticing.

At the end of October, there were cutbacks at Bungie. Not only were jobs lost here. The trust of the community was also shaken again and players canceled their pre-orders for “The Final Shape” in protest.

von Britta ♤ BeAngel

So there are several reasons that could explain why the number of players is currently so low. At least according to the statistics that can be actively tracked via Steam.

This is the current status of player numbers

According to the statistics from Steam, an average of 34,816 players played Destiny 2 in the last 30 days. The highest number of players was 59,076. Both values represent a low point since the initial release of the game on Steam.

This table shows the exact development of player numbers in the Lightfall DLC.

In comparison: When the DLC “Lightfall” was released, Destiny 2 had 316,651 players to record the highest number of concurrent players of all time.

The website Destiny Tracker emphasizes, however, that it currently only looks so bad on Steam. There are still over 100,000 players across all platforms. However, there’s not a lot of context on whether that is enough for Bungie.

Paul Tassi suspects: If the developer were still independent, the performance of the game this year would probably have endangered the entire company. It is equally unclear to him what long-term effects this development will have on the relationship with Sony.

Can Destiny 2 recover? This is currently completely open. Destiny is special, but also the content fatigue of players over the years is a part of the game that cannot be denied.

The game lives on its updates. Without updates, there is no game. If the postponement of the upcoming DLC “The Final Shape” is confirmed, players will probably have to make do with very little content for an additional six to seven months.

Time that players also want to give Bungie. They want to be excited again by a grand release with “The Final Shape”. However, this upcoming expansion also marks the official end of the Light and Darkness saga in Destiny 2. There is also the danger that players will automatically drop out afterward.

A risk remains, so Bungie will need clear strategies to regain the trust of players and steer their game back in a successful direction. Whether it’s about restructuring content, redesigning reward systems, or introducing innovative features – time will ultimately decide the fate.

Diablo 4: Cheaters want to steal items for which you have to farm long – Players warn

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

In the current Season 2 of Diablo 4, apparently some scammers are around. The community is now warning that you should not fall for them and give up your hard-farmed materials. If someone asks you to drop them, you should just brush them off and report them.

This is the scam:

  • With Season 2, new materials came into play, including Living Steel. It is extremely rare, even though you can farm it better now.
  • A user on Reddit is now warning against dropping exactly this material. If another player asks you to do so, it is most likely a scam.
  • If someone asks you to drop it, the user recommends: send them to the desert and report them. Under no circumstances should you drop your materials.

What do I need the materials for? Living Steel and some other materials are needed to summon the new bosses in Season 2. This includes Uber Duriel, from which you can specifically farm Uber Uniques.

Gathering in groups is currently a popular way to get summons and kills faster. Because each player in the group only needs enough materials once to summon Duriel for everyone. So you can get up to four kills per group.

Actually, the system should lead to players interacting and trading more with each other and thereby solve one of Diablo 4’s earliest problems. But it seems that it is being exploited now.

If other players take your steel, they can use it for themselves or their own friends and exclude you in the process. Or, in the worst case, it can be stolen from you by someone fast when it is on the ground. Therefore, you should not drop the material and only trade with people you trust.

We have already received hints about the new class:

Start video
We asked the heads of Diablo 4 about the new class and they answered

“Your bank details are also not needed for the summoning”

In the responses on Reddit, many users appear rather cynical and advise not to disclose bank details or the social security number. They are not needed for the summoning. Such scams seem to be quite well known.

Many players, however, have apparently experienced these situations earlier, as similar schemes existed in Diablo 2. The users mrgoodbytes8891 and SvenTurb01, for example, are discussing this.

Back then, it was quite common for scammers to ask inexperienced players to drop their equipment on the ground for inspection. The scammers would then scoop up the items and disappear.

In the current case, luckily, the loss is not as severe as back then, where several hundred hours of grind could lie behind the items. It is even somewhat entertaining now to see how “younger generations” figure out that they shouldn’t let themselves be scammed.

Exactly Diablo 4 seems to attract newcomers who haven’t dealt much with the “nasty” side of gaming yet. Meanwhile, precisely this ARPG actually has a rather adult and experienced community:

WoW brings dragon riding to the old world – and reduces speed

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

In the whole World of Warcraft, you will soon be able to use dragon riding – but it will be slower. Blizzard has a reason that many do not like.

The feature of dragon riding was quite a success in World of Warcraft Dragonflight. Even though some may not be comfortable with the new way of traveling, many have found it enjoyable – it is more active and immersive. Due to its popularity, the feature will be expanded to the entire World of Warcraft in the future.

You can see the trailer for the current patch here:

Start video
WoW: Guardians of the Dream – Launch Trailer

What will be changed? Dragon riding will now be called “dynamic flying” and will also be expanded to other mounts. Although not all flying mounts will use this feature at the launch of patch 10.2.5, griffons, most dragons, and many others will already be capable of it.

However, dynamic flying in the old world, Outland, Draenor, Northrend (and all other areas where you can fly) will not reach full speed. Blizzard is throttling the speed here to 80% of the possible maximum.

Why is Blizzard doing this? This is due to the size of the continents – or rather the “smallness”. Almost all continents are significantly smaller than the dragon islands. Blizzard writes in the official WoW forum:

We are reducing the speed of dragon riding outside the dragon islands to prevent travel times from becoming trivially short. We believe that 80% is a good balance between the desire to provide players with an exciting and active way of traveling while still maintaining a sense of immersion. The dragon islands are quite massive compared to some of our old continents, so we need to adjust the speed accordingly.

To have a comparison of distances:

The distance from Valdrakken to the portal of the Emerald Dream is approximately the same as the distance from Stormwind to Ironforge.

What is the criticism? For many, this is a typical case of “Fun detected” – an old meme where Blizzard is perceived by some players to nerf everything that is somehow fun. They do not understand why Blizzard is introducing a reduction here at all.

von Karsten Scholz

However, there are also many who apparently misinterpreted the contribution. Because some believe that a reduction to 80% would mean that the character moves slower than with a normal flying mount – that is not the case. Even with a throttle to 80%, the movement speed is still nearly double that of epic flying mounts.

Aside from that, many are happy – because even 80% of dragon riding speed is still quite fast and a significant upgrade from the old, static flying.

But what do you think?

What else is included in the next patch 10.2.5, we have introduced here.

Players improve the skill system of Starfield themselves because it annoyed them too much

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

In Starfield, the skill system is a central and important aspect of the game that allows players to improve and strengthen themselves. However, some aspects of the system have been criticized by fans, which is why they developed a mod that aims to make leveling fun again.

What annoys about the skill system? Starfield offers many skills that allow you to enhance your space traveler. While some of them assist you in combat, others unlock the ability to learn advanced blueprints for base building.

The problem with the skills, however, is that many feel unrewarding. Players spend a lot of time leveling up only to unlock skills that either feel weak or out of place. The best example is scanning planets. Levels 1 to 4 improve your skill, but they must first be painstakingly earned. This can be frustrating, which is why the community developed something.

A mod is supposed to help by improving many things and unlocking features that should have been available from the start. We will show it to you.

Starfield: 5 useful skills that you should definitely unlock at the start

Mod aims to make leveling fun again in Starfield

What can the mod do? It is the “Pilgrimage – A Skill Overhaul” mod from the “DragonField Team”. The mod unlocks many trivial things that are important for exploration from the start. These include:

  • The range of your scan is set to 100 from the start
    • Additionally, all 4 ranges of zoom are unlocked
  • Boost packs, ship targeting, and engines are also immediately available
  • All crafting skills unlock all research related to the corresponding topic right away. No more 4 skill points need to be wasted.

Moreover, unnecessary skills have been removed while other weaker skills have been improved to feel more rewarding.

Even your background and associated skills have been partially replaced with more appropriate and better skills. So, if you want to feel a fresh breeze in Starfield and experience a new and better skill system, you should definitely try the mod.

The LoL World 2023 is the most-watched e-sport event of all time, displacing a free mobile game from the top position

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

Last Sunday, the Worlds 2023 in League of Legends set a new record for T1 and Faker, and the Worlds were able to break a viewership record in the esports field, surpassing a free mobile game.

The final of the Worlds 2023 was a big event for T1:

Apart from the gameplay records, League of Legends also broke the record for the most-watched esports event. With a peak of over 6 million viewers, the Worlds were able to dethrone a free mobile game.

A new champion was also showcased at the event:

Start video

How many watched? According to escharts.com, the peak in the final was 6,402,720 viewers. However, it’s important to consider that the numbers from Chinese streaming services were not included, so one can assume even higher numbers, especially since a Chinese team WBG played in the final.

The previous record holder was the Free Fire World Series 2021 in Singapore with a peak of about 5.4 million viewers. Free Fire is a free battle royale game for mobile platforms that also holds a world championship every year.

Looking at the numbers for previous esports events on Statista.com, one can see that the LoL Worlds are a dominant force:

  • Worlds 2020: 3.88 million viewers
  • Worlds 2021: 4.02 million viewers
  • Worlds 2022: 5.51 million viewers

The largest MMORPG on Steam gets its own mobile version

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

Lost Ark has currently 78,800 peak players, making it the largest MMORPG on Steam. Now, Smilegate has presented a mobile version at the gaming fair G-Star. This version is based on the story and classes of the original but will be a stand-alone game.

What does Lost Ark Mobile offer? The basic features of the game are said to be very similar to the PC version, although there have been some adjustments according to the first testers:

  • The intro and the story are supposed to be nearly identical.
  • During character creation, you have the choice of 7 different classes, which were exclusively created for the mobile version. The options are: Warlord, Berserker, Devil Hunter, Bard, Summoner, Swordmaster, and Battlemaster.
  • The interface shows 8 different abilities for each class that can be activated beside the auto-attack.
  • The testers found the usual content in the game such as songs, emotes, dungeons, and raids for the endgame, as well as the corresponding MVP window. However, some iconic features were also missing, such as the Mokoko seeds.

You can watch a video that was shared from the fair about Lost Ark Mobile here:

Start video
Lost Ark Mobile – Teaser from G-Star 2023

Stylish graphics and good gameplay, challenging battles, and autoplay

What do the first testers say? Praise is mainly given for the graphics, which are said to look really good thanks to Unreal Engine 5. The fluid gameplay and the fact that the story has been transferred unchanged are also viewed positively.

However, critics pointed out that the combat system on mobile is complicated and demanding. Simultaneously attacking and dodging boss attacks is said to be unusual in this version. You need to get used to this new control method.

Additionally, it was mentioned that while there is autoplay, it is not particularly helpful. In automatic mode, the character only approaches the quest objectives and can perform automatic attacks. However, this is not sufficient to actually complete the quests. All abilities must be activated by the player himself.

Only the automatic use of potions when reaching a certain percentage of health points is described as very helpful.

The most popular game on Steam is being continued by fans, costs nothing for everyone who already owns Portal 2

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

Portal 2 has a 98% positive review rating with over 300,000 ratings, making it the most popular game on Steam. After the new year, a prequel to the game, created by fans for fans, will be released. It expands the story and introduces new characters and mechanics.

What is Portal 2?

  • It is currently the highest-rated game on Steam (via steamdb.info)
  • Players explore the test chambers of the Aperture Science laboratories
  • There are many puzzles that play with the laws of physics
  • As a constant, cynical companion, GLaDOS assists with the puzzles

The game is particularly popular among fans because it features a complete two-player co-op mode. In this mode, there is a unique story, new characters, and a new gameplay mechanic.

Besides the multiplayer mode, the Portal 2 editor is also a reason why Portal 2 receives such high ratings. With the tool, fans can create their own levels.

Now, a prequel to Portal 2 titled Portal: Revolution is set to be released. You can watch the trailer here:

What kind of prequel is coming now? In Portal: Revolution, players return to Aperture Science. This is a community-created mod that is completely free for all owners of Portal 2 (via Steam).

The mod expands the story of Portal 2 and takes place in the same universe. It is set before the events of Portal 2 and thus after the experiences of Portal. We return as a test subject sent on a mission to finally destroy GLaDOS after her fall.

In addition to a new story and fresh environments, the mod includes the following features:

  • ~ 7 new chapters
  • 2 new characters
  • 3 new test elements
  • over 20 new puzzles of all difficulty levels
  • new music

Unfortunately, unlike the base game, there will be no multiplayer mode. However, Portal: Revolution comes with an engine that can be used for custom mods. The development team, however, points out that the official engine, Portal 2: Community Edition, is better suited for creating certain mods.

Pokémon GO: One of the most popular Pokémon is suddenly in raids, but only for a short time

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO, the raid pool rotates and surprisingly you are currently getting one of the most popular and useful Pokémon in the game.

Which Pokémon appears in raids? In level 3 raids, you can currently encounter Lucario. The monster is usually not that easy to obtain: You usually have to try to hatch the baby Pokémon Riolu from eggs and then evolve it into Lucario.

Instead, you can now simply challenge it in the 3er raids – but only for a short time. Because on Wednesday, November 22, the Party-Up event starts, which will bring its own raid pool.

Then it is to be expected that Lucario will disappear from the raids again. So if you want to catch it, you should hurry.

Lucario
Lucario is rare and strong

What kind of Pokémon is Lucario in Pokémon GO?

This is Lucario: Lucario is a Fighting and Steel-type Pokémon. It is basically one of the fan favorites in terms of Pokémon. And it’s not only popular, but also really strong.

The monster belongs to the best attackers in Pokémon GO overall. In terms of Fighting type, it is only surpassed by a few Crypto, Mega, and Legendary Pokémon. Therefore, it is a very good option to get a strong attacker that is somewhat easier to level up.

Start video
Pokémon GO: The strongest attackers of all types in the video

How to use Lucario best? Use Counter and Aura Sphere attacks with Lucario to deal a lot of damage in raids.

Even in the battle league, it has a place at least in the Super and Ultra leagues and can be quite useful, but it is not one of the top Pokémon in the PvP of Pokémon GO.

Moreover, it has the potential to become even more powerful, as Lucario offers a Mega Evolution in the main games. Although it is currently not available in Pokémon GO, it is expected to be introduced in the future.

How to best fight against Lucario in the raid? You can defeat Lucario at raid level 3 alone, but you should rely on appropriate counters. It is vulnerable to Fighting, Ground, and Fire attacks.

Use monsters like Proto-Groudon, Garchomp (or its Mega Evolution), Skelabra, Reshiram, Moltres, or other top attackers of the respective types.

Otherwise, the current season is coming to an end. What will happen until the end of the month can be found in the overview of the November events 2023 in Pokémon GO.

Snoop Dogg stops with the ‘smoking’ – Diablo 4 and WoW react, find themselves super funny

Sophia Weiss Sophia Weiss Reading time 2 minutes

Rapper Snoop Dogg is known for his habit of smoking everywhere and anytime. He announced on X.com that he is giving that up, and the social teams of Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo and WoW had suitable responses.

Who is Snoop Dogg? Snoop Dogg is the stage name of Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr., an American rapper and reggae musician. He started his career in the early 1990s. Before that, he was already active under the pseudonym 213. He made his first steps as Snoop Dogg in 1992 on Dr. Dre’s album The Chronic.

He released his first album Doggystyle in 1993. In the USA, it stayed at number 1 on the charts for a total of 75 weeks and was certified quadruple platinum. To date, he has released 19 studio albums and 114 singles, among other things.

Apart from his music, Snoop Dogg is also known for his passion for consuming cannabis products, primarily smoking in the form of so-called joints. In 2021, he even started an attempt to legalize cannabis across the entire USA together with an American activist.

Although Snoop Dogg doesn’t specify the statement further, it is most likely meant that he no longer wants to smoke cannabis products. This is very uncharacteristic for Snoop Dogg, whose image is largely shaped by his cannabis consumption.

How did Diablo and WoW react to this? The X.com accounts of both Blizzard games reacted to Snoop Dogg’s announcement. The general Diablo account responded directly:

However, we will not give up on smoke*.

In World of Warcraft, the workers of the Horde and Orc clans are called Peon. They do not fight in battles but take care of all tasks outside of fighting. In Warcraft 1 to 3 they appear as units, and you can also find them in WoW and complete quests related to them.

Peons rarely rise in rank. Work is second nature for many of them. A Peon who abandons his work is somewhat comparable to Snoop Dogg quitting smoking pot.

The biggest action director in the world is back

MeinMMO MeinMMO Reading time 2 minutes

With the upcoming film “Silent Night – Silent Revenge”, John Woo, one of the greatest action directors of all time, makes his comeback. Marco from Nerdkultur explains in a new video on his YouTube channel how the director redefined the genre.

At the age of 77, John Woo returns to Hollywood and presents us with “Silent Night – Silent Revenge” on December 14, 2023, a new action film – which completely relies on visuals without any dialogue.

But it doesn’t need any. Because the director’s films speak solely through their impressive imagery, as Marco explains in his latest video on the YouTube channel Nerdkultur.

We have directly embedded the video here:

Nerd culture: The greatest action director in the world is back!

Marco Risch has been uploading videos on news, reviews, analyses, and interviews about current films, series, and video games since 2015. The YouTube channel Nerdkultur is part of the Webedia network, of which MeinMMO is also a part. Especially “nerdy” topics like Star Wars, Marvel, and DC are the focus of his channel.

In the film analysis, he shows the sophisticated filmmaking techniques the director uses to make the action sequences feel as coherent as a staged music video.

In addition, Marco explains how John Woo shoots his vast, sprawling scenes while still maintaining clarity in his films.

An action film by the filmmaker is currently streamable on Disney+, as you can read here with our colleagues at Moviepilot.
