EA FC 24: The election for the world player shows that EA has made serious mistakes with some values

Thomas Dummer Thomas Dummer Reading time 3 minutes

The World Footballer Award with the famous Ballon d’Or is also interesting for many fans of EA FC 24 . This year, we noticed that some players in the top 10 have bad cards despite their seemingly strong performances.

Which players are we talking about? Among the women, the Spanish player Salma Paralluelo secured a strong third place behind Aitana Bonmati and Sam Kerr. Although she was among the best players last year, her FIFA rating does not reflect this at all.

The same applies to the Argentinian Julián Álvarez, who achieved a remarkable seventh place in the vote for Footballer of the Year. However, he is just as unplayable as his colleague’s Gold card.

And these two players are not the only ones in the top 10 of the Ballon d’Or, where EA apparently has a different standard than the jury of the French football competition. We will show you the discrepancy between the assessment of real performances and the ratings in Ultimate Team.

Paralluelo, Álvarez, and Co: Top on the pitch, flop in EA FC 24

What ratings do Paralluelo and Álvarez have? The third-placed woman has a rating of just 78 in EA FC 24. Only in speed does she fall into a world-class range, with a value of 93 according to EA Sports’ assessment. At least her playstyles can also be impressive. Among them are two playstyles that are among the best playstyles in EA FC 24.

World champion and treble winner Julián Álvarez from Manchester City has a rating of 80, and additionally enjoyed a special card with an upgrade to 87 during the Trailblazers promo in Ultimate Team. However, his Gold card struggles to impress in almost any rating. As a striker, he lacks speed and finishing quality. In the role of CAM, he can at least impress with a playstyle that significantly helps you to overcome the new OP pressing setting that many players utilize in the game.

Overall, both players with their Gold cards are not even among the best 500 players in Ultimate Team, even when ignoring Icons, Heroes, and other event cards. There is a clear gap between real performances and EA’s estimated ratings.

Even the sixth-placed Olga Camona is far from meeting expectations given her rating of 79, which arises from her position in the World Footballer Women’s election.

Even worse off is her teammate, who caused quite a stir in the Women’s World Cup with Colombia and inflicted a painful goal on the German national team. Read below to find out who it is.

Biggest storm talent doesn’t even get a rare Gold card

9th place among the best players is not enough for a rare Gold card: Linda Caicedo is considered one of the biggest promises for the future in women’s football. The just 18-year-old already plays for Real Madrid and is an absolute star in her homeland Colombia.

Apparently, her performances and popularity were not enough for EA Sports to give her a good rating. Not only that, but it was not even enough for a rare Gold card.

With a 76-rated Non-Rare Gold card and a price of 650 coins on the transfer market, the Colombian is likely to be one of the most underrated cards by EA this year.

One could argue in favor of the Canadian developer company that they generally assign younger players worse ratings, in order to provide them with better ratings in events or following years.

Our tips for guaranteed more goals in EA FC 24 might not help you become the World Footballer, but they can certainly help you attack better.

Pokémon GO suddenly unlocks many routes at once – Does it happen to you too?

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO players keep struggling with the lack of routes. However, the number seems to be increasing significantly.

What is the problem with routes? The routes were introduced in summer 2023 and represent essentially established walks submitted by trainers. Once the routes are submitted, Niantic has to approve them. Once they are available, they lead from Pokéstop to Pokéstop and can be deviated by players.

By following these routes, players have the chance to get the coveted Zygarde cells, which are needed to develop the powerful Pokémon Zygarde.

However, trainers have repeatedly complained that there are too few routes and that the approval process simply takes too long. Players were frustrated that their submitted routes were not approved for days and weeks. This partly led to the problem that there were simply no routes nearby.

Now trainers are reporting that there seems to be a wave of approvals occurring.

Suddenly more routes in Pokémon GO? “Many more in my area”

What is changing right now? As some trainers discuss in the subreddit “TheSilphRoad” about Pokémon GO, it seems that many routes are currently being approved. One trainer reports that she had several routes “stuck” in the approval process for a long time but are now suddenly published.

“There are suddenly many more routes in my area, and my waiting list has shrunk from six to three,” says Pendergirl4 in her post, which we include here:

Other trainers agree:

  • Those I submitted in August are still being reviewed in Australia. But you’re right, I can see seven in my local park that weren’t there before, comments one (via reddit)
  • I can confirm that indirectly. In my immediate area, the number of routes has increased from 13 to 18, including one that’s been in the waiting list since route creation was opened for level 48. However, my four in review are still there, says another (via reddit).
  • Six of mine have been confirmed, now I only have two left, adds another comment (via reddit)

In the editorial team, we also noticed an increase in available routes nearby, but for example, one route submitted at the beginning of September is still in the “Under review” status.

At the same time, some trainers report that no new routes from the waiting list have been approved for them.

Twitch: Trymacs says he bought Pokémon cards for 130,000 euros – reveals what they are worth today

Lydia Lydia Reading time 3 minutes

Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler (29) is one of the most successful streamers on German Twitch and earns quite a bit from it. Now he gives some questionable investment tips in an interview.

What is the connection between Trymacs and Pokémon cards? Trymacs sparked a real hype in 2021 around opening booster packs for the Pokémon TCG. The streamer invested a lot of money in his pack openings and dominated Twitch.

In 2022, Trymacs stated that he had opened boosters worth a total of 120,000 Euros (via YouTube). It seems that the amount has increased even more since then. In an interview, the 29-year-old also reveals what is left of that money.

Every loss is an investment

This is how much the cards are worth today: Trymacs says he has invested a total of 130,000 Euros in Pokémon cards. They are now worth only 25,000 Euros. Thus, the streamer would have made a loss of more than 100,000 Euros.

Trymacs, who is also criticized as a pay-to-win streamer, does not see it that way: He fundamentally describes such expenses as investments in his content. He earns quite a bit from it, as he openly shows.

In the interview, the 29-year-old also discusses further great investments: For example, the 60,000 Euros he allegedly invested in FIFA, just for the account to be worthless by the next release. He has also reportedly poured 60,000 Euros into his mobile games – though at least he still retains the villages.

What do the numbers indicate? The amounts should be taken with a grain of caution, as Trymacs apparently does not have them at hand and speaks only from memory. The actual amounts could deviate by some margin – at another point, he mentioned 80,000 Euros spent solely on FIFA.

Uncomfortable questions on an uncomfortable chair

How did the statements come about? Trymacs spoke in an interview with his colleague Florian “Varion” Kiesow about his dubious investments. The still unnamed format of the YouTuber already reminds some viewers of the US talk show “Between Two Ferns” with Zach Galifianakis.

Varion makes himself comfortable in an armchair, while Trymacs seats himself on a chair that looks somewhat too small and faces some tough questions. The twist: Neither the host nor the guest know the questions in advance and cannot prepare for them.

You can watch the entire pilot episode here, from 4:35 onwards, it’s all about money.

How is the format received? The comments on YouTube have quite positive reactions. Viewers celebrate the markedly expressionless way in which Varion presents the uncomfortable questions and lets Trymacs flounder.

  • marcels-k2709: “This type of humor and ‘bringing us out of our reserve’ is great entertainment and refreshing. […]”
  • stumpi3377: “For the first episode, a lot was done right, but it would still be cool if you rode into more trouble and never fell out of character. But keep going!”
  • LloydWeyard: “Extremely cool format, I really enjoyed it! Especially how serious you remain in the interview, simply divine!”
  • Helmut_Kohl: “I was initially skeptical, but the format is great. Please do more of that.”
  • ichleckererkeks: “I find this type of interview really pleasant. Especially with Max, it’s nice.”

At the beginning of the interview, Varion had already indicated to Trymacs that his performance would help decide whether the series would continue. Given the positive feedback, it seems likely that further episodes will follow.

Destiny 2 releases 8% of its employees due to a significant decline in popularity

Britta ♤ BeAngel Britta ♤ BeAngel Reading time 4 minutes

Bungie, the studio behind the loot shooter Destiny 2, has laid off approximately 100 employees this week, which corresponds to about 8% of its workforce. This decision was made after serious warnings from management, as the shooter has significantly lost popularity.

This is why so many Bungie employees were fired: In recent years, many players have loved Destiny 2, the FPS loot shooter from Bungie. However, there have been signs of a decline in the once vibrant hype for some time now. This led to the difficult decision by management to proceed with layoffs this week.

Thus, they informed the workforce of the changes after reports from the business site Bloomberg:

  • Two weeks ago, executives from the Sony-owned developer informed employees at a meeting that this year’s revenue was 45% below the expected results.
  • As a consequence, the release of the upcoming DLC “The Final Shape” is to be postponed from February to June 2024. The statement comes from sources who reported to Jason Schreier from Bloomberg. They wanted to remain anonymous.
  • According to these employees, it was also communicated to them at this meeting that the mood among Destiny 2 players has reached “a historic low“.

With the delay of the DLC release, Bungie employees receive more time for development, and thus the ability to improve the product Destiny 2.

CEO Pete Parsons is said to have remarked at the time: “To weather the storm, everyone must work together” and emphasized that the employees are also determined to do whatever is necessary to boost revenue again.

The Final Shape of Destiny 2, the last DLC of the Light and Darkness saga, almost prophetically stands for the “beginning of the end”. Even though Bungie does not want to let it come to that.

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

The layoffs came as a surprise: On Monday morning, the situation worsened when many Bungie employees were unexpectedly invited to 15-minute meetings with management. During these meetings, they were informed of their layoffs and the upcoming round of dismissals.

Bungie’s revenues were 45% below projections

This is the current state of the loot shooter: The expansion “Lightfall” received very poor reviews from players. Players were dissatisfied with the story and the game itself.

Many long-time guardians were no longer interested in pre-ordering the last DLC of the once popular video game. Although the latest expansion The Final Shape has been well received by players, the feedback is still not outstanding, as Bloomberg reports:

  • The decision for the layoffs was thus made after grim warnings from management about a substantial decline in the popularity of Destiny 2.
  • In total, 8% of the workforce was laid off to respond to the challenges of dwindling interest.

Some players had canceled their pre-orders and preferred to experience the ending on YouTube rather than playing themselves.

Layoffs are part of a larger savings initiative: The layoffs are according to the magazine IGN mainly due to the poor performance of Destiny 2 in the last year and the “lower than expected pre-orders“.

In conversations with some current and former employees, it was also confirmed that Bungie has taken full responsibility for the layoffs instead of blaming the parent company Sony.

  • The developer has also taken further steps to mitigate the financial impact of the significant decline in popularity of Destiny 2.
  • Reports indicate that costs such as travel have been reduced, and salary as well as hiring freezes have been implemented.
  • The laid-off former employees also received severance pay for at least three months and COBRA health benefits (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act). However, other company benefits were terminated immediately.

The remaining employees of the developer were informed that the affected positions in the areas of communication, PR, support, and sound design, which had to be eliminated, would now be outsourced to external companies.

Destiny 2 is still not completely dead

This is what happens next: Despite the difficulties, it should be noted that Bungie and Destiny 2 are not disappearing anytime soon.

CEO Pete Parsons has informed the remaining employees that the company has retained “the right people” to continue working on the space shooter in the future, as reported by IGN.

Bungie will continue to support Destiny 2 and develop new content to engage remaining players and perhaps attract new ones. The industry is highly competitive, and adaptability is vital for survival.

Industry analyst Doug Creutz from TD Cowen has also noted regarding the situation, “that these recent events [at Bungie] indicate signs of a restructuring at PlayStation.” The layoffs are likely part of Sony-PlayStation’s current cost-saving initiative.

How do you evaluate the decision to lay off employees due to the decline in popularity of Destiny 2? Positive or negative? Did you expect this development or not? And how do you feel about Destiny 2 now? Feel free to share your opinion with the community in the comments.

A historical RPG on Steam offers unique Northern German charm

Lydia Lydia Reading time 3 minutes

Since MeinMMO editor Lydia played the demo of The Ebbing – A Coastal Tale (Steam), she wants more. Because this detective RPG combines investigative work with Pen&Paper elements and comes with humor and a special twist.

In The Ebbing – A Coastal Tale, you will be taken to the North Sea town of Havstedt in 1870. You actually want to vacation there, but these plans are disturbed by a murder. To make matters worse, you are also the main suspect. It is therefore in your own interest to find the real culprit and prove your innocence.

During the investigations, you should be able to move freely through Havstedt in third-person. You collect clues by questioning locals and using your “detective sense” to discover hidden evidence.

Additionally, your character has various skills that you can level up to pass skill checks. There are also supposed to be crafting and stealth elements. You can get your own impression here in the trailer. A demo is also available on Steam. However, the release date is still unknown.

Start video
The Ebbing – A Coastal Tale is a detective RPG with North German charm

Historical RPG with North German Charm

I had the opportunity to try out The Ebbing at Polaris, and the detective RPG was actually one of my highlights of the Hamburg gaming event. And that, even though the version available there was almost more of a “proof of concept” than a proper demo.

To understand why I am so excited about The Ebbing, one should probably know a few things about me: I love detective stories, in any form. Whether as a point-and-click game, Netflix series, or book, I always prefer to pick up crime stories.

Bonus points are also given for the setting in the 19th century, as I have a weakness for that too. As a survival newbie, I am really looking forward to checking out the upcoming Nightingale, because I really like the “gaslamp fantasy” inspired by Victorian England.

But instead of playing in 19th century London, which is often used as a setting, The Ebbing takes place in a German port town, and that is exactly the next aspect that I liked. Because the game is supposed to be fully voiced at release – and in the German voiceover in Low German.

With a background in linguistics and as a general language nerd, I think that’s just great. To return to an earlier point, crime stories in dialects have a special place in my heart.

Here, the predecessor, A Bavarian Tale – Totgeschwiegen, stood out. As the name suggests, it took place in rural Bavaria and was voiced in the German language version in Bavarian dialect. My colleague Benedict Grothaus had already mentioned it at gamescom 2022.

Using the diverse dialects of the German language for an atmospheric gaming experience is just a cool idea. I, who otherwise belong to those annoying people who generally reject German dubbing, will probably play in German for once, contrary to my habits.

I know it’s still too early to get excited about The Ebbing, and for some, it may not look like much in its current state. But the game has definitely piqued my interest with its first puzzles, atmosphere, and humor.

When I tried to kick down a door in the demo and the skill check failed, I wasn’t prepared for how badly it could go. Not only did I smash a broken door in the face of an unsuspecting child, but I also started a fire. But it was funny somehow.

Your headline could go here

In addition, Active Fungus is a German studio, and since 2023 has not been a great year for local game studios (I’m looking at you, Daedalic and Mimimi), it’s nice to see that there are still creative minds here who are passionately involved.

As I learned in a conversation on-site, the demo version actually featured the family of one of the developers.

However, everything is supposed to be professionally voiced for the full version, as I was assured. That’s not so easy, as even at this stage of development, they have about 50 characters to voice. Finding that many voice actors who also speak Low German is quite a challenge.

For my part, I will certainly follow the project with great interest. However, since a release is probably still a long way off, I will have to make do with “A Bavarian Tale” for now. That, in turn, is supposed to get a performance upgrade and an upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.3 this October (via Steam).

My 1st MMORPG Silkroad Online made me a cringe thief and led me to hentai

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 5 minutes

MeinMMO demon Cortyn talks about the first MMORPG. In Silkroad Online, the world was still in order – or so to speak. Because the first guild wanted a lot and could do nothing.

The first great love of MMORPGs is something very special – even for me. Even if many memories have become a bit blurred by now, I still remember very well how I logged in every day back then to grind and cause mischief with my guild. Even though we never really “pulled anything off”, the feelings from back then are still there.

We’re talking about the first “Silkroad Online”.

So let me tell you about Silkroad. A more than classic MMORPG that today (rightly) hardly anyone knows. But it was my first excursion into the world of MMORPGs and therefore has a very special place in my memories forever.

It’s important to know that Silkroad still had all those annoying mechanics that (thankfully) did not appear in later MMORPGs. A few examples:

  • Quests wanted you to gather 30 cores from stone elementals. But these only drop from very special, rare elementals, which have a 1:5 chance of appearing. And then they have another 50% chance of actually dropping. On average, you had to defeat 300 elementals here.
  • Death had consequences. Anyone who died lost a large amount of experience points. A single death could completely undo 3 to 4 hours of grinding. Multiple deaths in a row could wipe out weeks of work.

I want to be honest with you, I didn’t have many memories of the gameplay of Silkroad Online. It was a blur of healing potion spamming and pressing the same 5 skills over and over. When I looked at screenshots from back then on the internet, I furrowed my brow in confusion and wondered: “Did I really play that?”

But then one clue led to another and the memories came back piece by piece.

A simple profession system that was just cool

In addition to the typical Asia-game classes, there was also a “job” system that was probably the most important aspect of the game: There were three different “professions” you could commit to starting from level 20:

As a thief, it was your job to ambush merchants and take their goods to sell them for a big profit. Merchants (“Traders”) were mostly protected by hunters (“Hunters”), who in turn hunted thieves.

Theoretically, this was a cool mix of three different factions:

  • Traders try to transport goods from A to B to make a profit.
  • Hunters protect the traders from thieves and get paid for it.
  • Thieves ambush the traders and sell the loot themselves.

Because I was already as edgy as the horns on my head back then, there was of course only one role to choose: thief.

Back then, I played with a schoolmate and we agreed that we wanted to build the largest and most dangerous thief guild the server had ever seen.

Of course, the guild had to have a particularly “cool” name, so we chose “black plague” – because thieves always wore black clothing in the game. But since it was a multilingual server, the name had to be in English: Black Blight.

Theoretically, we had it all magnificently pictured. We would ambush some merchants, quickly run into the bushes to put on our thief clothes (only then do you really take part in this “profession war”) and then rob the merchant.

The three biggest MMORPGs in Germany are here:

Start video

My guild was “Team Rocket” for the very poor

Back then, we had no idea that even in the starter area, the merchants were already protected by max-level hunters. Because if a server had been active for a while, merchants always had high-level hunters with them. Trying to attack before reaching the maximum level as a thief was completely crazy – but we didn’t know that back then.

We planned many attacks. We strategized a lot. We waited for a world boss to spawn in an area because that usually attracts all players. We saw that as our opportunity to attack merchants who could not break off their journey and – hopefully – stood there without protection.

Spoiler: That was absolutely never the case.

In the roughly 3 months of gameplay, there was not a single successful attack from the Black Blight guild on any merchants.

But that didn’t bother us so much. In true “Team Rocket” fashion, we thought every time: “Maybe next time!” Somehow, I was also much more tolerant of frustration back then than I am today. Today, I lose interest after 3 lost Overwatch matches in a row.

Much more than the game itself, I remember the conversations in my guild.

Because often we just sat by the roadside, by the shore of a lake, and engaged in a bit of “pseudo-RP.” These were just a few figments of our imagination on how our next attack would go and that soon – very, very soon! – the server would tremble before Black Blight.

Silkroad Screenshot 1
This is what the “thieves” looked like back then. Unfortunately, no picture from my guild.

Spontaneous hentai and the beginning of the end

Little by little we recruited more and more people who either played a thief or “thought the guild name was cool.” Yes, those were our selection criteria back then.

Since Silkroad only had international servers, we had to communicate in English – something I wasn’t particularly good at back then. I was constantly looking up vocabulary when we talked in the guild chat.

Anime was still a niche hobby back then, and the only legal and accessible consumption was through RTL2 – Pokemon, Sailor Moon, Inuyasha, and Dragon Ball. One of my guildmates got me hooked on the idea of watching “Bleach” – that was quite popular in Japan back then.

To make matters worse, we only had “DSL 1000” back then, because everything else, to quote my mother’s husband, was “money thrown away that you will never need.”

Downloading anime illegally over torrent platforms with the absolute cheap connection, only to find out after hours that someone had named the file “Bleach Episode 73” but then received an episode of “Bible Black” was then disturbing at a completely different level.

To summarize the guild: Yes, that was a bunch of nerds with an anime fetish who wanted to be particularly “edgy” and ambush defenseless traders as thieves. Not a single heist in the short history of the guild was successful. We lived the absolute cliché – and loved it.

Even if Silkroad was certainly not the best game, it set me on my path. It indirectly ensured that I learned the English language and also rekindled my love for anime, which persists to this day.

Eventually, another school friend led me away from Silkroad, claiming he had a “friend code” that would let me try out this “World of Warcraft”. That ultimately cemented my fate.

Tinkerers are speechless: User cannot upgrade his gaming PC, a small detail prevents him from doing so

Martin Vollert Martin Vollert Reading time 3 minutes

Directly mounted installation notes on PC hardware are no longer uncommon. It is only annoying when this information, placed by the manufacturer, prevents one from assembling their system.

Those who want to assemble or upgrade their gaming PC with as few errors as possible usually look at the enclosed manual that comes with the respective hardware components. A look in the manual would have quickly helped this gamer with a problem with their new water cooling.

Sometimes this information is on a supplied disc or must be downloaded via a link from the manufacturer’s website. However, there are other ways to provide important information to the owners of new hardware. In this specific case with ASRock’s X670 motherboards, it does more harm than good.

Well-meaning detail from the manufacturer proves to be an obstacle

What is it about? On Reddit, the user bluebeau7 reports difficulties that prevent him from assembling the new components of his gaming PC. The manufacturer ASRock has placed a sticker directly on the RAM slots of the X670 motherboard.

This “Memory Installation Guide” explains in which order to insert the RAM modules when there is only one or several modules available. Additionally, it informs that the very first start can take different lengths of time for technical reasons depending on the memory configuration. This information is definitely important and should ideally be taken into account before assembling the PC.

Why is the sticker a problem? In his attempt to completely remove the sticker from the slots, large parts remained stuck and continue to cover the RAM slots. Without removing these remains, the new motherboard remains unusable.

The gamer said he initially considered returning the motherboard or claiming a replacement. However, as he stated he was impatient, he wanted to try to remove the glue residue himself. He is said to have succeeded using tweezers. The entire action reportedly took an hour. But there are also memory errors that are not so obvious.

Was his action successful? According to the user, yes. Bluebeau7 says he was able to free the RAM slots from the rest of the sticker this way. He could now insert the RAM and test the system.

He stated that he had tried out a few games for this. Nevertheless, he reportedly remained uncertain whether to keep the motherboard or to return it to the retailer for safety. Unfortunately, the gamer does not report on his final decision.

Other users also speak up, the manufacturer responds

Are there other users with the problem? Yes, the post by bluebeau7 is not an isolated case. There are further reports on Reddit and X (formerly Twitter) about difficulties with the sticker on ASRock’s X670 motherboards. Meanwhile, a statement from the manufacturer is also available. Under a Reddit post with the same problem, ASRock moderator CornFlakes1991 writes the following:

Future batches of AM5 motherboards will no longer have this sticker. One of the reasons for placing the sticker was to prepare users for the long initial start time associated with memory training. Ultimately, it could have certainly been handled better.

For the future, one will therefore be spared the tedious removal of glue residues. However, users with motherboards from the first batch are exchanging tips on the best method to remove the glue.

How can affected users best remove the sticker from the motherboard? If the sticker is still completely on the RAM slots, it can be helpful to warm it before peeling it off. A regular hairdryer is sufficient for this.

If one has already tried to remove the sticker and residues are left, some users swear by alcohol-based substances. Caution is advised here to avoid completely soaking the RAM slots during cleaning and damaging surrounding components.

Gamer becomes a ghost hunter on Twitch: “Equipment is held together by duct tape, but it works”

Lydia Lydia Reading time 3 minutes

Jordan “Detune” DiSorbo has discovered a very special niche on Twitch: He visits haunted houses and other spooky places, allowing his viewers to participate live. How this works, we reveal to you on MeinMMO:

What type of streamer is he? Jordan “Detune” DiSorbo is a musician and streamer from the USA. He has been regularly streaming on Twitch since May 2018. Initially showing various games, particularly Overwatch, he quickly shifted to a specific genre: horror.

By now, Detune has played countless horror games on Twitch: from Dead by Daylight to lesser-known indie titles to cult classics like Doki Doki Literature Club! However, in 2022, the streamer came up with something special – he moved ghost hunting into real life.

A horror game like Lethal Company should be right up Detune’s alley:

Start video
Lethal Company Trailer

From Gamer to Ghost Hunter

What’s this ghost hunting about? In 2022, Detune began a series of IRL streams called Paranormal Detour. In these, he travels across the country and visits places where it is said to be haunted. Some of his most popular videos on YouTube include visits to a creepy mansion in New Jersey, a prison in Colorado, and a hospital in Pittsburgh.

Basically, that’s also the plot of a new horror game that MeinMMO demon Cortyn has played.

Unlike similar series like the Netflix show 28 Days Haunted, viewers can join Detune live. As the streamer reveals in an interview with Polygon, he is in a relationship with someone who works in wedding photography. His partner has helped him with the equipment. He also produces videos for YouTube.

“It’s held together with duct tape, but it works”

This is how the streams work: Detune wanted the IRL spook to feel like gameplay streams from home: with a camera capturing the happenings around him, as well as a facecam capturing his reactions.

To stream, he uses a backpack that houses the technical equipment. From there, he transmits the material to a server and then to his PC at home. He controls all of this with his phone. “It’s held together with duct tape, but it works,” says Detune.

He has a total of four streams running simultaneously, between which he can switch. This creates particularly impressive moments, explains the streamer. When he reviews the footage later, he can precisely recall where each sound came from.

You can see what that looks like in this clip:

Link to the Twitch content

While IRL streams on Twitch are extremely popular – and even without supernatural encounters are considered not entirely safe – ghost hunts like his are quite rare there. Especially not with the production quality that he offers, according to Detune.

For him, the streaming platform is just the right place to offer his content. Because on Twitch, it’s all about community, which is basically built-in, the streamer explains.

So if technical problems occur during his paranormal explorations that bring the whole stream to a standstill – the ultimate worst-case scenario for a live program – everyone in the chat would talk to each other and keep themselves occupied, according to Detune. He also values this kind of family atmosphere highly.

And somehow, sudden outages also contribute to the creepy atmosphere. After all, who knows what’s messing with the signal right now.

“That was a terrible idea”

This is how it goes down: With his paranormal content, Detune has built a community of more than 33,000 followers. On average, he reaches several hundred to over a thousand viewers (via sullygnome).

Since 2019, he has pursued streaming seriously as a career. Especially now, around Halloween, he is ramping up.

In just five or six days, he visited four different locations for his Paranormal Detours, including a “clown motel” – despite his fear of clowns – a prison, and a youth center from 1917.

What was the scariest place? Although the streamer claims to visit these places to debunk the supposed hauntings, he says he keeps experiencing phenomena that he cannot explain. Right at the youth center YMCA (the American version of CVJM), he had concerns in advance.

His fears allegedly came true: That was one of the very few places where he thought, “I’ll leave my equipment behind. I’ll come back tomorrow. And if it’s not there, I’ll write it off as a loss. We need to get out of here. That was a terrible idea.”

From the Staircase Dweller to Millionaire? How Rich is Harry Potter Really?

Linda Baumgartl Linda Baumgartl Reading time 3 minutes

We all know that Harry Potter, who once lived under the stairs, actually possesses a considerable amount of money. But how rich is he really? A Reddit user tried to calculate this based on a movie scene.

What money do wizards use?

  • In the world of Harry Potter, in addition to the currencies we are familiar with, the “Muggle money”, there is “wizard money”. With it, anything magical can be purchased, from Butterbeer to wands.
  • Wizard money consists of 3 different coins: the bronze Knut, the silver Sickle, and the gold Galleon.
  • Hopefully, all wizards paid attention in their nonexistent math classes. Because the conversion is not as simple as it is for us:
    • 29 Knuts = 1 Sickle
    • 17 Sickles = 1 Galleon
    • 493 Knuts are therefore one Galleon

Here you can see the trailer for the upcoming Harry Potter game “Quidditch Champions”:

A vault full of Galleons

In the books, we often see that Harry is financially far from struggling. The reason for this is his inheritance from his parents. However, how much money he actually possesses is never mentioned.

The best indication we have is a scene from the first film “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”. When Harry goes shopping in Diagon Alley with Hagrid, the two also visit the wizard bank “Gringotts”.

In vault 687, Harry sees for the first time the fortune that his parents left him. Several piles of gold coins, hence Galleons, can be seen.

What does the calculation look like? In a Reddit post, the Harry Potter fan “NeokratosRed” attempted to calculate the number of these gold coins.

He roughly counted the height and depth of the largest pile of gold. For simplicity, considering the shape as a pyramid, it allows calculating the volume.

How rich is Harry Potter - Calculation
Calculation by NeokratosRed: https://imgur.com/fDjHKbW

However, since the image below is cropped, NeokratosRed estimates from another pile of gold in the background that at least 35 additional layers of coins need to be accounted for. However, since it is not clear what shape the pile of coins at the bottom has, he assumes the smallest possibility, a rectangular shape.

How rich is Harry Potter - Calculation 2
Calculation by NeokratosRed: https://imgur.com/G2qoh77

Other visible piles in the background are calculated according to the same principle.

In total, this calculation results in a sum of 50,625 Galleons.

Millionaire, or not?

Almost 50,000 may not sound like a lot at first. However, one must consider that a Galleon, when converted, is worth much more than a euro.

Author J.K. Rowling once explained that a Galleon is worth about 5.90 €, even though the exchange rate constantly changes. This also corresponds to the figures found in the later published books “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” as well as “Quidditch Through the Ages”.

According to this conversion, Harry thus possesses a fortune of 298,687.50 €.

Does that make sense? However, many fans criticize the logic behind these figures.

“I love Harry Potter, but JKR did a terrible job with the numbers. Everything from age/time to money or house points. I don’t think there’s a single part of the story where math makes sense,” writes a user on Reddit.

In another Reddit discussion, the user “aubieismyhomie” tries to find a reasonable conversion. To do this, he refers to the prices of some objects that we also know in the Muggle world, such as a bus ticket or a hot chocolate.

This brings him to a value of 23.57 € per Galleon. This would make Harry a millionaire. Because converted, he would then have 1,193,231.25 €.

You are rich, Harry

In conclusion, one must also consider that in addition to the wealth in the vault, Harry also owned other assets, especially the house at “12 Grimmauld Place” later on.

Moreover, NeokratosRed’s calculation is merely a rough estimate that assumes the absolute minimum. In the book, Harry’s vault is filled not only with gold coins but also with silver Sickles and bronze Knuts, which cannot be taken into account in the calculation, as they are not visible in the film.

Overall, it can probably be said that Harry is indeed quite rich, and can indulge in the load of sweets on the Hogwarts Express without hesitation.

23-year-old successfully executes such an innovative play in LoL that he completely surprises the opponent – “Does Riot know this is possible?”

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The MOBA League of Legends has existed since 2009 and millions of people play it every day: One would actually think that no move or trick is unknown. But the Dane Rasmus “Caps” Winther (23) has now come up with an idea that apparently no one has thought of before and which totally surprised the opponent. And he had reserved the trick for a decisive game at the LoL Worlds 2023.

This was the situation:

  • In the LoL Worlds, G2 (Europe) faced Bilibili Gaming (China) in a Best-of-Three. It was a knockout match for G2 in the tournament.
  • In the mid lane, Caps played the champion Neeko. His opponent Yagao was on Jayce.
  • Suddenly, G2’s Jungler Yike appeared on Nocturne and attacked Yagao under the tower: In the early game, that is basically a suicide mission, but thanks to a brilliant trick from Caps, Yike survived this situation, killed his opponent at the tower, and put his team on the road to victory.

LoL: „GODS“ ft. NewJeans (Official Music Video) | World Cup Anthem 2023

Neeko can do something unexpected: tanking the tower

What was the trick? Through Neeko’s passive ability “Inherent Glamour”, Neeko can transform into a non-epic monster.

Caps transformed into a “Cannon Minion”, a siege minion, and was able to absorb 4 hits from the tower that would otherwise have killed either him or his jungler. Because tower shots are normally the mechanic that prevents such “Tower Dives” from happening at the start of a match: When someone runs into the tower to kill an opponent, they usually die in the process.

Thanks to the extra time that Caps bought for his jungler by absorbing the shots, the jungler was able to eliminate the opposing mid laner relatively risk-free and secure the coveted first blood.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMTj5XehHoA

As Dotesports explains, Caps was only able to absorb so many shots from the tower at this low level because the “cannon minion” he transformed into enjoys some special rules, which allow it to receive less damage from the tower. And apparently, Neeko benefits from these bonuses as well.

Apparently, no one before Caps had thought of using Neeko in this form.

von Johanna

This is being discussed: As it says on reddit , the idea was so “crazy” that even the opponent Yagao said after the match that he was not aware of this feature and never expected it.

Others say that Caps’s action could lead to Neeko being banned in the course of the tournament because she becomes too strong through this trick, and the best mid laners in the world already have a strong Neeko, which now becomes even stronger.

There is also speculation about whether Riot intentionally programmed this trick into the game and no one discovered it until now, or whether even Riot was surprised by this innovative move.

Did it help Caps?? Maybe, the match in which Caps used the trick was won by G2. However, in game 3, his team had to concede defeat, and thus G2’s Worlds ended early.

Final Fantasy XIV: Cat-boy players meet for the alliance raid – only in swim trunks

Sophia Weiss Sophia Weiss Reading time 2 minutes

The community in Final Fantasy XIV has many special ideas and takes on additional challenges. Now, a group of players has completed the current alliance raid – but just for fun exclusively with male Miqo’te in swim trunks.

Which player organized the run? The swim trunk run was organized by player Phron’to on the server Tonberry. Tonberry is in the Japanese data center Elemental. There, he has now organized his third alliance raid run exclusively with male Miqo’te characters.

In a post on X.com (formerly Twitter), he shares snippets from their shared adventures. The cat boys pose and show off their outfits:

In an interview with Gamesradar.com, he spoke about his motivation for it: In the Japanese data centers, I have observed entire communities organizing event runs. The themes range from purely meme runs to elaborate events in special uniforms. […] I thought, what if I organized something like that in my data center Elemental?

Phron’to himself is a player of a male Miqo’te and has according to his character card on X.com pushed all combat jobs, crafters, and gatherers to the current maximum level 90.

Which alliance raids did the group take on? The swim trunk run included the third and final part of the current “Level 90” alliance raid: Myths of Eorzea (Part 3) Thaleia. The enemies here are the gods from the official in-game pantheon, the Twelve. These challenge the player character, also known as Warrior of Light, to a test of strength.

Myths of Eorzea (Part 1) In the Realm of the Gods: Aglaia appeared with patch 6.1 shortly after the release of the current expansion Endwalker. The group around Phron’to played this under the theme angelic or divine outfit.

The second part, Myths of Eorzea (Part 2) Euphrosyne, they all went through dressed in sailor shirts.

Of course, in the first two runs, only male Miqo’te were allowed as well.

What are Miqo’te? Miqo’te are one of the base races in Final Fantasy XIV. They are humans with cat ears and tails. The female version is still one of the most played races in the MMORPG, while the male version appears significantly less.

Simply because there are far fewer male Miqo’te in the game than females, the joint run of the three 24-man raids is an achievement.

MMORPG player wants to complete all achievements in Elder Scrolls Online – has played over 18,000 hours in 5 years

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

A Reddit user played 18,000 hours Elder Scrolls Online to complete all achievements of the MMORPG. Now he shares the result of his grind.

Many MMORPG players invest thousands of play hours, numerous years of their lives, and a lot of gray matter into the grind of a single game – after all, you can also spend a lot of time on titles like WoW, Old School Runescape, and The Elder Scrolls Online.

Some players, however, pursue specific goals during their grind, such as reaching the highest level, collecting all legendary items, or completing all achievements. The latter was undertaken by an ESO player who shared his success on Reddit after years of grinding.

What exactly has the player accomplished? A player named Ch3mical wrote in the subreddit of The Elder Scrolls Online that he had completed all achievements of the MMORPG. An attached screenshot also shows that he has 59,465 achievement points, which supports his statement.

Ch3mical replied that he has 18,000 play hours and has been playing since the “Summerset” add-on, which was released in May 2018 and expanded the MMORPG with a new area and a raid.

But not only in The Elder Scrolls Online are there players who invest a lot of time and effort into the grind and celebrate the result after thousands of hours.

A player of the MMORPG Old School RuneScape even invested almost 40,000 hours for his goal to bring all skills of the game to max level:

I had my 1st relationship in an MMORPG

Linda Baumgartl Linda Baumgartl Reading time 3 minutes

That gaming is not just a hobby for lonely nerds should be known by now. Especially MMORPGs often thrive on community that arises through the game. This is also known by MeinMMO author Linda B., who had her first relationship in the MMORPG ‘4Story’ as a teenager.

What is 4Story?

  •  4Story is a classic free-to-play MMORPG from 2008, which is based on proven concepts from World of Warcraft.
  • As a hero, the player’s task is to restore peace in Iberia – either on the side of the mage nation ‘Derion’ or the soldier people ‘Valorian’.
  • While not much is going on on the official servers these days, there are private servers like ‘4Vision’ or ‘4Classic’ that are still actively run by the community.

Others go to parties, I play 4Story

Admittedly, that sounds pretty cliché now and probably won’t surprise anyone, but I have always been someone who prefers to stay comfortably at home in the evening rather than going out.

However, that doesn’t mean I didn’t want to do something with friends. And how do you best combine that? Of course, playing online together.  

As luck would have it, during my early teenage years (I must have been about 12), my friend’s older brother was playing this mysterious game called ‘4Story’. Naturally, my friend had to see what her brother was playing and convinced him to let her use his PC for a few hours.

For the right experience, she obviously needed teammates. And that’s where I came in, along with another girlfriend.

When I saw the fantasy setting and the ‘cool graphics’ (yes, to me it all looked totally realistic back then), I didn’t need to be asked twice. And just like that, I was in my first MMORPG.

Love at first click

Besides all the other things you do in an MMORPG – like questing, looting, and leveling – you inevitably meet other players in a multiplayer game.

And on a beautiful evening, when the sunset painted the pixelated sky red, I met him. And it was love at first click …

Well, okay, fortunately it wasn’t quite that cheesy. I don’t know exactly why (Was it the game? Is it still like that today?), but back then it was common to look for a ‘gf’ (girlfriend) in the game, or vice versa a ‘bf’ (boyfriend).

If you wanted to belong to the cool kids – and had hopes for an in-game wedding – you absolutely needed that.

A player kidnapped me in GTA Online for a breathtaking date

‘Luck in the game, unlucky in love’, or something like that

I met my ‘dream prince’ through the ‘bf’ of one of my friends.

  • ‘Will you be my gf?’
  • ‘Okay.’

That’s roughly how my first ‘relationship’ came about.

We were together in a guild, leveling and raiding the opposing faction together. And yes, there were also pseudo-romantic dates in cozy spots, like way up on a tower where almost no player ever wandered.  

Eventually, it was time to bring the ‘relationship’ into the real world. After some back and forth, and a lot of panic on my part, the first phone call via Skype took place.

We were only a few minutes into the conversation when the guy proudly told me how much he enjoyed kicking his cat regularly. I was so perplexed that I just hung up and never contacted him again. After that, I was pretty much done with guys.

Fortunately, not all online acquaintances were that weird. Especially in 4Story, my friends and I met a lot of cool people. My highlight was two French guys, with whom we regularly skyped and played, even though we could only communicate using hands and feet. Because they couldn’t speak English any better than we could speak French.

Have you ever had experiences with quirky internet acquaintances? Is there perhaps someone who went through something similar to me?

4Story is heavily influenced by World of Warcraft. Given the huge success Blizzard has had with the game, and continues to have to this day, that’s no surprise.

Of course, there are many other games that are influenced by WoW. Here on MeinMMO, you can find out which games are supposed WoW clones:

Destiny 2: Bungie releases many employees, including probably the beloved composer – “The Beginning of the End”

Sophia Weiss Sophia Weiss Reading time 2 minutes

On October 30, 2023, it was announced that Bungie, the studio behind Destiny 2, has laid off employees. The extent of the layoffs and who is affected is currently unknown. However, new information suggests that the long-time Destiny 2 composer has also had to leave.

What happened at Bungie? The Destiny 2 developer Bungie surprised everyone with a large layoff wave on October 30. It is still unclear how many employees had to leave and who was affected. CEO Pete Parsons informed the affected employees yesterday in a team meeting about the respective dismissals.

So far, especially Bungie employees from the areas of communication, PR, support, and sound design have spoken out.

“Destiny 2” composer Michael Salvatori apparently laid off

Why is it suspected that the composer was laid off? Composer Michael Salvatori has been composing music for video games since 1997. His works include the soundtracks for Halo 2, Halo 3, and since 2014 the Destiny game series – primarily, therefore, games from the developer Bungie.

The CEO of Cinema Motions first mentioned Salvatori’s dismissal in a post on X.com (formerly Twitter) based on an alleged internal source. The X.com account Destiny Bulletin later posted about an update on the composer’s homepage:

The description of the composer’s career path was replaced by Gone fishing 🙂.

What does this mean for Destiny 2 and Bungie? The background and impact of the layoffs are currently still unclear. As mentioned above, primarily employees from the departments around communication, PR, support, and sound design have spoken out about their dismissals.

How does the community perceive this? Video game music and its composers are very important to many communities. For example, when it became known that the long-time “Elder Scrolls” composer Jeremy Soule was not hired for the Skyrim sequel The Elder Scrolls 6, players reacted disappointedly. Our colleagues at GameStar reported.

When the composer of the MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV Masayoshi Soken announced that he was seriously ill with cancer, the community showed support.

von Dariusz Müller

The Destiny 2 community reacted accordingly to the possible layoff of the composer:

  • Masyer Moose High on Gaming(X.com): The original sound of Bungie is officially dead, what?
  • @Sarojh3 (X.com): Even if this is a terrible, tasteless joke, I hope it is just a joke.
  • @ShinMadero (X.com): Insanity. His compositions have cult status, and he continues to produce extremely high-quality works.
  • @DrOptimalDPS (X.com): RIP Destiny. 2014-2023.
  • @Simmux_ (X.com): Absolutely regrettable. Everyone in the community agreed that his music for this game was stunning. And they’re firing him?? Absurd.

However, some players also point out that Michael Salvatori is now almost 70 years old and has probably earned his retirement.

  • @vanguze (X.com): Retirement, guys. The guy has earned it.
  • @NotBlakeBrown (X.com): The man is almost 70, is it possible he was ready to leave?

Currently, there is still no statement from the composer himself regarding the situation and Bungie has not released any further statements. As soon as there is more information, we will update this news.

What do you think about the possible layoff of Michael Salvatori? Will you miss his music? Feel free to write it to us in the comments.

Destiny 2: Weekly Reset on 31.10. – The Festival Finale of the Headless

Britta ♤ BeAngel Britta ♤ BeAngel Reading time 5 minutes

This week marks week 11 of the Witch’s Season in Destiny 2. At the same time, it is also the last week of the Festival of the Lost. MyMMO tells you what to expect in the coming 7 days and what rewards await you.

What’s happening this week: The community is currently in an uproar, following the announcement that Bungie had to lay off several employees. In Destiny 2, however, everything continues as usual for now.

  • During the Festival of the Lost, the free Halloween event, players are trying to obtain as many black leather mementos as possible in the last week since they drop very rarely, which means you have to invest some engrams and thus time.
  • Not all triumphs have been completed yet, but maybe the secret will be revealed today.

As Season 22 with its Hive theme has been well received by many, there is hope for an unexpected twist that sheds new light on the Witch Queen Savathûn’s plans and the hunt for the Witness. Because Season 23, the Season of Wish, is not far off. It starts on November 28.

The resurrection of Savathûn in Season 22 of Destiny 2 was spectacular:

Key information on activities from October 31 to November 7.

Strike

  • The Devil’s Lair, in the Cosmodrome
    • The Fallen are rampaging there again and bringing their mega-mechs. Charge your shotguns, grab your Gjallarhorn, and put an end to the Fallen god “Sepiks Prime”.
Earn this Strike weapon this week: The kinetic hand cannon “The Law of the Watcher.” In the top-tier version of the Strike, you can also get the weapon in its Master variant.

Crucible – This is the rotating PvP activity

  • The two modes Zone Control and Witch’s Brew are running this week in PvP.

Endgame: Raid Challenges and Dungeon Rotation

Farmable endgame on a weekly basis: In the further course of the endgame, the Legacy Rotations await.

Both the rotation raid, the rotation dungeon, and the exotic rotation missions are farmable. This means you can complete the individual encounters repeatedly to receive different items and complete your collection, including possible exotics available in these contents.

  • The weekly legacy raid is “Vault of Glass” with the weapon exotic “Vex Mythoclast”.
  • Additionally, in the “Prophecy” dungeon, there is extra loot, but no exotic, as this activity was once just a gift from Bungie to all players.
  • The weekly exotic mission is “Vox Obscura” with the grenade launcher “Dead Messenger”.

Weekly Activities

destiny2-eris-morn-zavala-season17-alptraeume
Is Eris still drinking her tea, or is there more to come?

These are the ritual activities: Season 22 offers Guardians new challenges and a card deck that supports them on their missions with buffs and benefits – as long as they unlock everything and assemble their deck accordingly.

  • Altars of Summoning: Offer sacrifices in the Witch Queen’s otherworldly prison to summon horrible enemies, defeat them, and gain their power.
    • Here, there are three difficulty levels that you can activate. So if you activate “Powerful”, the highest difficulty with three swords, you will definitely break a sweat.
    • However, expanding your deck makes it increasingly easier.
  • Savathûn’s Pillar: Activate the pillar, defeat its overseers, and gain access to the Altars of Summoning.
    • Void Crystals have a barrier around them and protect nearby enemies. The barrier must be entered, and the crystal must be destroyed from within.
    • Solar Crystals burn upon pickup and must be transported to a separate part of the arena.
    • Arc Crystals grant the charge buff “Crystalline Charge” in melee. Inactive Arc Crystals must be awakened with a “Transference Melee”.

Ongoing Event

This event is currently active: Guardians can celebrate the Festival of the Lost for another 2 weeks starting today. It offers candies that you can exchange for weapons or exotics. Or you can complete bounties to stock up on your Glimmer supply. The coolest memento can currently also be earned through the festival.

In Destiny 2, there are a total of 4 of these free events for all players:

Lightfall – Weekly Campaign Mission

  • “First Contact”
    • In the first mission, you establish first contact and learn about Strand for the very first time as you roam with your Guardian through Neomuna. Strand is the new subclass from Lightfall, and there is something you have to do…

Ascendant Challenge – Dreaming City

If you still need triumphs from the Dreaming City: Corruption reveals new accesses with a sip of “Queen’s Leaf Tincture” so you can find them.

  • Petra Venj can now be found in the Dreaming City right at the spawn point – as always during the 2nd curse week. At the same time, the 6th Ascendant Challenge is active.

All Sources for Top Loot in Season 22 of Destiny 2

crota-raid1-destiny2-2023
This bright green armor can be found in the Crota raid.

More power level comes automatically: The power level is also capped in Season 22, which means that the hard power level cap in Destiny 2 remains at 1,810. Thus, no player is forced to achieve peak performance every week, but instead, automatically levels the artifact level in all activities.

  • There are still hard challenges, even without an increase in power level. For example, in Grandmaster Raids, Nightfall Strikes, Grandmaster Lost Sectors, or Trials of Osiris. Here, a high artifact level is advantageous and necessary.

However, if you are currently not at the hard cap of 1,810, we have listed the best sources for top loot for you.

This top loot brings your power level up to 1,810:

  • Top Raid “Crota’s End“ (+2)
  • Top Dungeon “Depths of Despair” (+2)
  • Legacy Raid Rotation this week: “Vault of Glass” (+2) – farmable
  • Legacy Dungeon Rotation “Prophecy” (+2) – farmable
  • Legacy Exotic Mission “Vox Obscura” (+2) – farmable
  • Earn 200,000 points by completing Nightfalls (+2)
  • “Eternity Challenges”: Achieve at least 250,000 points or more (+2)
  • Complete the exotic mission //node.ovrd.AVALON// in the EDZ (+2)
  • Weekly Lightfall Campaign Mission at Legendary (+2)
  • Weekly Season Mission “Savathûn’s Pillar” with 300,000 points
  • Weekly Season Mission “Rite of Selection” vendor challenge Eris Morn
  • Weekly Season Mission “Altars of Summoning”
  • Play the “Sector Part” on Neomuna
  • Complete ritual activities with the Vanguard, in Gambit, or in the Crucible
  • Hawthorne’s Clan Quest: Give 5 Appreciation Cards to other Guardians (+2 and 7 Upgrade Materials)

Should any additional sources arise, we will add them here promptly.

Here we will list everything special that there is this week in the Eververse:

  • Exotic Emote “Ghastly”

Destiny 2: Update 7.2.5.2 on 31.10. – All Patch Notes and Info

Britta ♤ BeAngel Britta ♤ BeAngel Reading time 4 minutes

On this Tuesday, another update for Destiny 2 is coming. MeinMMO tells you when the server downtime will take place and what updates to expect.

Update on Update 7.2.5.2:

6:10 PM: The update is here and is 135.6 MB on PC. After you have downloaded it, you can log in for the new week and tackle the mission ‘Effort and Trouble’.

3:15 PM: Destiny 2 has just taken its servers down. The downtime will last until the weekly reset. We will keep you updated on the status of the update as always.

What you need to know today: Even after the quake at Bungie and Sony, work on Destiny 2 continues as usual.

  • Players can expect the routine update number 7.2.5.2 today along with the associated server downtime.
  • After the update, the final week of the Halloween event, “Festival of the Lost”, will take place. It ends with the weekly reset on November 7. You have time until then to collect all triumphs and secure the available rewards. Including the black leather memento that everyone in the game is currently craving.

If you don’t know what’s happening in Destiny 2 this Halloween, check out this video. Afterwards, we will inform you in this article about when playing Destiny 2 will not be possible.

Maintenance on October 31 – All Times for Server Downtime

These times are important today: Bungie informs its players via Twitter/X about the planned downtime. MeinMMO brings you this information with the downtime times for Germany so that you can better plan your personal gaming evening.

Important Note: Due to the time change, the downtime will start one hour earlier today. Overall, the servers will be offline for about 2 hours and 45 minutes as usual. Only the weekly reset will now take place again at 6:00 PM instead of 7:00 PM.

Here is the exact schedule for the maintenance:

  • At 2:00 PM, background maintenance will start on all platforms.
  • At around 3:15 PM, the servers will go offline. Players will be automatically kicked from the game.
  • During the downtime, Bungie will release update 7.2.5.2. It will be rolled out gradually so that players on all platforms can download and install it.
  • At 6:00 PM, everything is supposed to be back online, and you can try to log in again.
  • The maintenance will continue in the background until 8:00 PM.
Third-party apps are also offline: As long as the background maintenance is ongoing, there may be connection issues in the game.

Additionally, maintenance may lead to login queues forming, as Bungie only gradually opens access to the servers to avoid problems from high server load. Therefore, you may have to wait longer until you are back in the game.

Also, be aware that third-party applications as well as the official companion app may also be unavailable for a while, so you cannot use them.

What changes with update 7.2.5.2 in season 22

destiny2-immaru-neonerds-halloweenevent-2023-voicelines-titel
For Immaru, Guardians from Destiny 2 are annoying Neo-Nerds or meatballs.

This will be included in update 7.2.5.2: Bungie has a publicly accessible to-do list of things 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 this list:

  • Sometimes killing Crota after his wipe timer expires will drop loot but not count as a completion of the raid.
  • In the Haunted Sectors, spawn dialogue overlaps for Headless Ones and summoning circles can occur. Immaru is therefore not only insulting, but also sometimes a bit annoying.
  • A part of the description for the Icarus Hook aspect is missing. It should also include the following: ‘Quickly defeating targets in the air with the super or any weapon grants healing.’
  • Players can die when executing a finisher, and the enemy dies before the finisher animation is complete.
  • The resilience status provides damage resistance of the previous tier at a multiple of 10. However, 100 resilience correctly provides the intended benefit.
  • Not to forget: name changes for players are not infinitely customizable via bungie.net. Several “Number-Guardians” are still waiting for the option to change their username again, instead of receiving the message ‘You have no name changes available.’

If you know of any more bugs in the game that are not listed here but have caught your attention, feel free to share them in our comment section.

Patch Notes for Update 7.2.5.2 in Destiny 2

What is in the patch notes? Bungie releases the list of all changes for update 7.2.5.2 in the form of patch notes. However, a complete overview of all resolved issues and improvements will only be posted online later today.

As soon as they are published, we will update our article for you and link to the patch notes, as they can still change or be corrected afterwards.

Read the patch notes for update 7.2.5.2 (in English)

What else is important? Maintenance phases are unfortunately an unavoidable part of a live service game like Destiny 2, as they form the basis for a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience.

Although they can temporarily restrict access to the game, they are a necessary step to ensure that bugs do not remain in the game and that you can play as usual and without too many disruptions.

Keep an eye on this article to stay informed about the progress of the maintenance work, and look forward to the new weekly reset that awaits you right after the update is completed.

18-year-old YouTuber makes it to the Ballon d’Or: Barks and whimpers as Messi is named Player of the Year

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The 18-year-old IShowSpeed has pulled off another coup: the live streamer has made it to the Ballon d’Or ceremony and, with his provocative content, is once again in the spotlight. By barking and whining at Messi’s victory, IShowSpeed reached new record numbers.

Who is that?

  • IShowSpeed is a successful live streamer on YouTube, often noted for his bad behavior. He either makes headlines due to deliberately induced blunders or loss of control, or because he actually doesn’t know any better.
  • Besides his lack of impulse control, he is known for his unwavering love for footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and therefore, by extension, a professed opponent of the Argentine Lionel Messi.
  • Now IShowSpeed has once again managed to penetrate the serious world of international football.

IShowSpeed looks shocked as Messi is crowned Footballer of the Year

This is the clip: On October 30, the Ballon d’Or 2023 was awarded, a French award for the Footballer of the Year. The ceremony took place in a theater in Paris.

IShowSpeed made it into the audience of the hall and reacted so loudly and inappropriately that he quickly drew the attention of the people around him, who looked at him amused.

When Lionel Messi was elected Footballer of the Year as everyone expected after his World Cup title, IShowSpeed made a huge show of his reaction, digging his hands into his hair, whining and wailing, even barking helplessly.

Apparently, IShowSpeed had actually assumed that Cristiano Ronaldo would win the award, even though he wasn’t even nominated.

Messi has won the Footballer of the Year award 8 times now. Ronaldo has 5.

Why is this significant? IShowSpeed gives his audience exactly what they want. At the gala, he reached over 500,000 viewers – a new record. Moreover, he trended on Twitter once again.

Many Americans only know this game through him, which they call “Soccer” – stars like Cristiano Ronaldo seem to be able to reach new audiences and markets through him.

IShowSpeed apparently knows exactly how to stay in the conversation. And as long as he doesn’t make little kids cry, that’s probably okay.

Zombie MMO that feels like The Division is set to release on Steam in a few days – This is what the team says now

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The survival MMO “The Day Before” looked to many at its presentation like “The Division” with zombies. The release is scheduled for November 11. The game is actually supposed to be released for Steam, but a page on the PC platform is still missing. Now the developers are speaking out.

What kind of game is this?

  • The Day Before was the most anticipated game on Steam in 2022: With a zombie setting and appealing graphics, it looked like ideal fodder for the hungry players of The Division in the first trailers.
  • However, after issues regarding the name – which was already taken – more and more doubts about the project arose. The game even disappeared from Steam.
  • Officially, the release of “The Day Before” is still planned for November 11, but the team has been silent for weeks. There is also no sign of an announced beta, and that right before the release.

Developers announce return to Steam and new trailer

This is what the developers say now: In a statement on Twitter, the developers have now announced:

  • On Wednesday, November 1, a press release will be published at 6 PM announcing the return of the Steam page and the release date.
  • Additionally, a final trailer for “The Day Before” is set to be released.

Players believe: The Day Before will be delayed again

This is the discussion: Under the article, players are now expecting another delay of the game. In a survey of 2,740 people, only 13.6% believe that the game will actually be released in November.

Another person cynically asks: “When is the beta supposed to be? The day before release?”

Because the developers had actually announced a beta in April, with which they wanted to address the players’ doubts. But they have thus far failed to deliver this game test.

Overall, while there are still some who are looking forward to the game, the excitement from 2022 has largely faded.

We will continue to report on The Day Before at MeinMMO:

Update November 1, 7:00 PM: The announced information is now available:
