Pokémon GO: Fan shows which Cryptos you absolutely should get for the Halloween event

In a few days, the second part of the Halloween event in Pokémon GO will begin. Pokémon trainers are looking forward to the new Shadow Pokémon that will be available during the event. A user has taken the time to list the Pokémon that are worth grinding.

Which Pokémon are particularly worth it? During the event, there will be many new Shadow Pokémon that appear in Shadow raids or are used by Team GO Rocket. In the reddit forum, a user has created a tier list and listed which Shadow Pokémon you should definitely catch.

He lists some of the monsters that Arlo, Cliff, and Sierra will use at the start of the event. According to him, you should definitely catch the pre-evolutions of the following Pokémon in the order listed (via reddit.com):

  • Rameidon
  • Rihornior
  • Skelabra
  • Gengar
  • Stalobor

The user shows in some tables how these Pokémon perform against the competition. Especially Rameidon and Rihornior are said to be strong Pokémon worth grinding. Overall, the event feels more like Christmas than Halloween, as Niantic is “giving away” extremely strong Pokémon.

The user is even sure: This is the best lineup of Shadow Pokémon there has ever been. He is already looking forward to grinding at the event and strengthening his team in PvP and PvE.

In the comments, there are many users who have only small remarks and are otherwise grateful for the work the fan has put into his tables.

There are more Shadow Pokémon during the event, so the agony of choice may be difficult. You can find the other Pokémon here:

Cryptos are stronger, but also cost more

What are Shadow Pokémon actually? You can obtain the special monsters by defeating grunts or bosses of Team GO Rocket. As a reward, you can catch a Pokémon from their team.

You can recognize Shadow Pokémon by their red eyes and the purple smoke surrounding them. They also differ in their stats: They are stronger, cost more Stardust to level up, and have the move Frustration.

Shadow Pokémon can be redeemed for some Stardust and candies. Then they receive a bonus of two points on each stat. However, it is sometimes worth keeping the Pokémon in its Shadow version.

Currently, trainers can receive additional rewards with the Limited Research: Pokémon GO: Limited Research for Halloween brings you Stardust – All rewards

ESO: Resetting Skills – Here’s How

In The Elder Scrolls Online you can invest your skill points into various abilities. But what happens if you have messed up your skills? Or if you want to change your playstyle? We at MeinMMO will reveal how you can reset your abilities.

How can I reset my skills? You can reset your abilities and attributes at specific shrines. These are located in different places for each member of a faction.

However, you can recognize them by a specific marker on the map.

  • As a member of the Aldmeri Dominion, you must visit the region of Grathwald and enter the city of Eldenroot. The names of the shrines are Stendarr (Skill) and Auriel (Attribute).
  • Players from the Ebonheart Pact need to go to the region of Deshaan and visit the Gramfeste. The names of the shrines are Stuhn (Skill) and Kyne (Attribute).
  • The Daggerfall Covenant has the shrines located in the region of Sturmhafen in the city of Wegesruh. The shrine names there are Shrine of the Father of Mysteries (Skill) and Shrine of the Warrior-Poet (Attribute).

In this picture we show you as an example how the shrines look in the Gramfeste, as they can be easily overlooked while passing by:

ESO Shrines Gramfeste

What does it cost to reset skill points? For each point – regardless if skill or attribute – you have to pay 50 gold.

With skill points, however, you also have the option to redistribute individual points and not reset everything at once. By the way, you only pay for the spent points, not for the total accumulated skill points.

For attributes, you can only reset everything at once.

How do I reset Champion Points? This, on the other hand, is much easier. You just have to open the appropriate menu and then press F to redistribute. This will cost you a bit of gold, but you don’t have to visit a specific place.

Diablo 4: “I could stay for this” Players celebrate how OP they are in Season 2 – Want it to stay that way

Diablo 4 has gained a resurgence with the current Season 2. After some disappointments post-release and with Season 1, many players are now satisfied with the ARPG. Now they hope that everything they like will continue to stay the same.

The most important things about Season 2:

  • Season 2 started on October 17 and is expected to last for another 3 months. You can find all information about Season 2 here.
  • The core theme of the Season is vampires and blood. As a new Season mechanic you can acquire vampiric powers yourself.
  • There were also major class adjustments made through patches in advance. This results in new opportunities for strong builds.
More on the topic
Diablo 4: Tier List for Season 2 – Best Classes and Builds in Endgame
von Christos Tsogos

What players are saying now: The new mechanics and changes in Season 2 are well received, as measured by the positive comments on Reddit and Co. Especially the fact that no class is left behind anymore delights the fans.

It is now possible to create “OP builds” and to a greater extent than before. Sorceresses, for example, who were previously considered the absolutely weakest class, can melt Uber Lilith in seconds with ball lightning. This is mainly due to the vampiric powers.

Such possibilities are what makes gaming fun for people in games like Diablo, and what is currently happening in Season 2 is the right way (via Reddit):

This is not a competitive game just for a few streamers. Let the “normal” players enjoy more than one build per season too. Please, Blizzard, do not listen to the nolife streamers, do not nerf this to infinity.

Hundreds of users agree here and in other threads. It is said, for example: “If Blizzard keeps these OP builds around, I might even stick with this season to play them.” Especially compared to the last season, this is a tremendous improvement.

Vampires are the big theme in Season 2:

“The game feels good now. It just needs more things to do”

In one of the largest threads with over 2,200 upvotes and 682 comments, players analyze the current state a bit more closely. The creator TheFaub believes that anything that is not a bug does not need a nerf.

It is perfectly fine if a few builds are absurdly strong for a season. Now these are overwhelming builds or the ball lightning of the sorceress. Next season it could be corpse explosions of the necromancers or hunters with grenades.

As long as the builds are strong only because of their mechanics and not due to an exploit, there is no reason to nerf them. “Flavor of the Month” is part of it and is perfectly fine; seasonal strengths are meant for such crazy, time-limited powers.

Ironically, sorceresses have apparently sparked the discussion. Now that they have a strong build, all other classes supposedly feel useless – as if they are missing out on something. Players say, however: then just play another sorceress. No one is stopping you.

Overall, Diablo 4 is now at a good point in Season 2. Just a bit more endgame content than nightmare dungeons and Uber bosses would be nice to have. Nevertheless, it is still better than in Season 1, where there was neither anything to do nor was the game fun.

EA FC 24: All Icons from the new 87 SBC – Is it worth it?

In EA FC 24 there is currently an Icon SBC that can bring you an icon for your team. But is the completion worth it? We look at all possible icons.

What kind of Icon SBC is this? The SBC (Squad Building Challenge) is called “Max.-87-Icon-Upgrade” and is available in Ultimate Team for two more days.

Here you can get an icon with a maximum overall rating of 87. To do this, you need to fulfill the following tasks:

  • Submit a team with an overall value of 85
  • Submit a team with an overall value of 86

Since you don’t have to pay attention to chemistry conditions, the SBC is at least easy to solve from a construction perspective. You just need high-rated players – but they can be expensive. If you need coins for that, you can get them through trading in EA FC 24.

What does the Icon SBC cost? If you look up on the portal futbin , the SBC is priced at about 150,000 coins (as of: October 23). However, this only applies if you need to buy all players anew. If you already have SBC fodder in your club, the challenge could be cheaper.

But is the SBC even worth the investment? We list all available icons with current prices.

All icons you can get from the “Max.-87-Icon-Upgrade” SBC in EA FC 24

What kind of list is this? Here we show you all icons that are ordered by price (via futbin) (as of October 23, 2023, 1:00 PM). But keep in mind that the transfer market in EA FC 24 is dynamic and prices can change constantly. However, the list provides a way to gauge whether the SBC is worth it for you.

All icons from the SBC with market price

These are the risks: You should consider several points to decide whether the SBC is worth it for you.

  • The icon is untradeable – so you cannot sell it. It won’t bring you any coins on the transfer market.
  • The chance of pulling one of the weaker icons is present. In the worst case, you may pull an icon that does not benefit you.

If you already have a lot of card fodder in your club that you want to get rid of anyway, the SBC might be worthwhile.

Patrick Kluivert87ST, MS79,500 coins
David Trezeguet87ST, MS77,500 coins
Ian Rush87ST, MS73,000 coins

Is the SBC worth it? That is difficult to answer, as it is pure luck which icon you get.

If you get a card like Torres, Essien, Vidic, or Zambrotta, then the SBC is great. But if you pull Rush, Keane, or Kluivert, you might be disappointed at the end. Also, unfortunately, the SBC lacks absolute top legends with a rating over 87.

One thing is clear: If you are currently working on improving your team, you should not rely on the Icon SBC. It’s better to invest your coins in players from the transfer market where you know what you are getting.

Try to only attempt the Icon SBC if your team is currently set and you can reduce the cost of the SBC using players from your club. The chance of getting one of the top icons from the list is low – and the icons from this challenge cannot be sold on the market.

Blizzard disables trading in Diablo 4 because it was too easy to cheat the game

In Diablo 4, it is currently possible to duplicate items and gold. This is a thorn in Blizzard’s side, and thus trading has been disabled in Season 2.

Why is trading being disabled? Blizzard disabled player trading in Diablo 4 on October 23, 2023. In a statement on the official forum of the developers, community manager “filthierich” states that the reason is a duplication exploit.

In addition, it is stated that the team behind the Hack’n’Slay is working on a solution to the problem and wants to keep players updated as soon as trading is possible again (via forums.blizzard.com)

Start video
Diablo 4 presents new Season 2, coming this fall – Blood & Vampires

This is a duplication exploit that requires a second player. We will not reveal how exactly the exploit works. According to some users on Reddit, the exploit is so simple that you could even accidentally do it (via Reddit).

What happens to accounts that exploited it? Players who exploited the duplication must expect a penalty according to Blizzard.

The forum states regarding this: “Any account that duplicates gold and items will be penalized in accordance with our end-user license agreement (via forums.blizzard.com).”

How long will trading be disabled? The duration of Blizzard’s trading ban is currently unknown. However, past experience gives hope that trading will be enabled again soon.

In August 2023, the trading in Diablo 4 was disabled by the developers – again due to a duplication exploit that allowed players to multiply their gold. In August, Blizzard was able to fix the exploit within a day and allowed trading again (via forums.blizzard.com).

The duplication of gold and items has a long history in Diablo, as players can easily obtain amounts that would otherwise only be possible with a lot of grinding. In Diablo 2, the exploits for duplicating gold were so severe that players eventually established rare items like the “Stone of Jordan” as a new currency.

„You have to sell your soul“ – Twitch streamer explains why the great xQc cannot keep up with him

The Swedish Twitch streamer Sebastian “Forsen” Fors and former Overwatch pro Félix “xQc” Lengyel have been at odds for over 3 years: They try to outdo each other in speedruns of the block game Minecraft. Currently, Forsen is in the lead and explains why xQc cannot win.

What is the record about? Since its release in 2011, Minecraft has become a real evergreen on Twitch and YouTube, and content creators keep coming up with new challenges to test their skills.

2020 was marked by speedruns: Numerous large content creators attempted to complete the open-world game as quickly as possible. Among them, two Twitch streamers stood out: xQc and Forsen.

Throughout the year, the streamers repeatedly outdid each other, and by the end of 2020 both managed to defeat the Ender Dragon in under 30 minutes. While the streamers are far from the official world record of 7 minutes and 45 seconds (via speedrun.com), they are only interested in beating each other.

In October 2023, Forsen succeeded in beating xQc’s record set in May of this year by 1 minute and 10 seconds with a time of 15 minutes and 28 seconds. Additionally, the streamer explained why he is superior to his rival.

From Overwatch professional to number 1 on Twitch to 100 million $ – Who is xQc?

Forsen has what xQc lacks

Why does Forsen see himself as the winner? After the Twitch streamer crushed his rival’s best time, he explained why xQc cannot beat him: He simply lacks the willpower.

The Swede has completely committed to Minecraft in 2023: He has spent 72% of his stream time on the game, almost 1,194 hours (via TwitchTracker, as of 23.10.2023, 12:30).

In contrast, xQc has spent only 20.5% of his streamed time on Twitch on it (via TwitchTracker, as of 23.10.2023, 12:30).

Instead, xQc is primarily found in the “Just Chatting” category, where he keeps himself entertained with reactions. Additionally, the “Juicer” has increasingly been on the competing platform Kick since the signing of his $70 million non-exclusive contract.

However, he mainly shows gambling and Counter-Strike instead of Minecraft there. Forsen seems confident that his rival is not willing to give up his other content to focus solely on the record.

It’s impossible. You don’t understand, Chat, you don’t understand, okay? It’s a huge commitment. You have to be willing to kill your stream, right? To achieve that. He’s not [laughs]. He’s not.

It doesn’t matter how much [he streams]. 16 hours a day streaming, damn gamer goblin. It doesn’t matter. You have to commit. You have to sell your soul, okay? That’s what it takes to set a record.

In fact, xQc seems to have made no attempts so far to beat Forsen’s record. It remains to be seen whether the streamer will actually concede so easily and whether the feud that has lasted more than 3 years is simply over.

Currently, xQc probably has other worries than Minecraft, as the streamer has been in a public war of roses with his ex-girlfriend Adept since September 2022. In early October, the dispute escalated again:

A game was supposed to be the great rival of League of Legends: But it died after only 3 years

The MOBA genre is controlled by two giants: Dota 2 and League of Legends. But shortly after the release of LoL, Heroes of Newerth (HoN) also came out. It was supposed to be the big rival of LoL, but it died shortly after because its approaches did not fit the then-new genre.

The origin of the MOBA genre lies in Defense of the Ancients, a Warcraft 3 mod. Riot Games wanted to bring this experience to life as a standalone game with League of Legends. LoL was released in October 2009 and was considered the first standalone representative. But shortly after, in May 2010, Heroes of Newerth was also released.

  • The game cost 30 dollars
  • It copied characters from the original Dota but also had its own ideas
  • The game was more complex, darker, and more demanding than LoL

Despite these unique features, few people today know this game, and it has not been officially playable since 2022:

The oldest competitor of LoL is being discontinued – Heroes of Newerth dies after 12 years

Start video
Heroes of Newerth – Trailer

The price was the first barrier to entry

LoL was a free-to-play game right from its launch. Nowadays, people often think negatively about F2P service games. But back then, when the genre was still new, a barrier of entry of 30 dollars for a game in a genre one didn’t know yet was high. That was exactly the price Heroes of Newerth charged at the time.

Moreover, service games are a huge time sink. If you like LoL, you probably won’t switch to Heroes of Newerth, especially since it costs money, and you certainly wouldn’t play two representatives of such a complex genre. A year later, however, HoN switched to the F2P model.

LoL establishes itself as an e-sport title in Asia

The other significant advantage was held by Riot Games, the studio behind LoL, with its distribution. While it took a long time for Heroes of Newerth to open servers outside the USA and Europe, LoL quickly appeared in China and other Asian countries.

South Korea and China were important countries for LoL back then and still are today: League of Legends is incredibly popular there, and service games work well in these countries anyway. LoL struck a chord early on because it apparently appealed to the competitive side of the players there.

A significant difference between Heroes of Newerth and LoL is also the visual presentation.

Heroes of Newerth was inspired by the art style and design of its heroes from the original Dota. It was darker and more western in its designs. For western players, that might be more interesting, but the colorful League of Legends is appealing to more people, and the anime designs of many LoL champions work better in Asia.

Dota 2 was the last nail in the coffin

Three years after the release of Heroes of Newerth, Valve finally released Dota 2. The release of the game on Steam was a huge success, and many players from Heroes of Newerth switched to Dota 2 to try it out, many of whom stayed there.

Dota 2 is also visually and gameplay-wise closely related to the Warcraft 3 mod. However, Dota 2 was produced better, with significantly more budget and developer power behind it. This made Dota 2 appear more modern than HoN.

Without the big budget and the number of employees, Heroes of Newerth could hardly compete with Dota 2 and LoL. Although the studio S2 Games announced a new MOBA in 2013, people were laid off, and support dwindled until the official servers were finally shut down in 2022.

Dota 2 – The New Frontiers Update

Many young players will never hear of Heroes of Newerth, and to this day, few games have managed to establish themselves in the MOBA genre. Accordingly, Heroes of Newerth joined a lineup of many dead MOBAs that failed to establish themselves.

However, many mechanics from the game made their way into other MOBA giants that are still successful today.

Dota 2 was the first game to introduce the Battle Pass, which is now included in almost every service game, but Valve is now discontinuing it:

New MMORPG on Steam convinces with housing and many freedoms: Now shows strong character editor

The sandbox MMORPG Pax Dei is considered promising. With its freedoms, the ability to build cities in an open world, and the action combat system, it is eagerly awaited by many MMORPG players. A new video of the character editor has now been released.

How good is the editor? When creating your character, you first have a large selection of presets that you can refine afterwards. There are about 30 hairstyles, 16 beards, and 10 different eye colors to choose from.

Additionally, you can make many adjustments with sliders, from body shape to lip color intensity to iris size. Also, with the colors, you have only a rough scheme – such as blonde, brown, black, gray, and white for hair. Within this scheme, you can choose the perfect color.

Overall, the selection is quite large, especially considering that the MMORPG is still in pre-alpha. Only the restrictions on names – 2 to 13 characters and no spaces – received some criticism on YouTube.

You can watch the video here. At the end of the video, you can also catch a brief glimpse of the map of Pax Dei:

Select a MMO video…

Pax Dei excites with housing, gets criticism for PvP

What kind of game is this? In Pax Dei, adventure is the focus. You do not just blindly follow quests but can basically do whatever you want.

  • There are no fixed classes; instead, the game uses different weapons, similar to New World.
  • You start by collecting resources and crafting items. Crafting is said to play an important role because monsters do not drop equipment. Everything is crafted by players. Additionally, your equipment degrades over time, so you will have to craft it again.
  • The focus is on cooperation with other players, as even battles against PvE creatures are tough. The further you distance yourself from the “Heartlands” – something like the safe zone – the more difficult the content is supposed to become. 
  • The game uses a zoom function that allows you to focus on decorations, equipment, and elements in the open world. This makes even small engravings on worn equipment visible, which is said to play a role in the lore.  In a preview that we participated in from MeinMMO, we were shown a mushroom that simply grows on the ground and can be collected. 
  • It is developed in Unreal Engine 5, leading to really nice graphics.

A highlight is the housing system, where you can build freely in the open world. Away from paths or special Points of Interest, you can simply claim a piece of land for yourself.

If you want, you can connect this land with other players and create small settlements or even large cities. In various screenshots, the developers showed large taverns, forges, temples, and fancy half-timbered houses.

Is there also criticism? Yes. Recently, the PvP system was presented, which not everyone likes. While there are supposed to be no player fights in many areas in Pax Dei, there are in specific contested provinces. Unique materials are also said to be present there.

If you die in PvP, players can loot a part of your inventory and equipment. Additionally, death causes your equipment to be more severely damaged, making it degrade faster. This means it is seen more as a resource like a potion rather than something you farm once and then wear forever.

Learn more about the PvP system here: New sandbox MMORPG on Steam promises complete freedom, now revealing details about battles and PvP.

Gamer buys high-end notebook for 56 euros, only needs a new cable and the 1,600 euro device works perfectly again

A gamer found a supposedly defective gaming laptop for only 60 US dollars. However, the device works perfectly, as he realized.

Most gamers likely won’t purposely buy defective hardware, as in most cases it means a lot of work. And often, the effort isn’t worth it. One gamer has been very lucky. According to 3djuegos.com, a gamer would have bought a gaming laptop for 60 US dollars (around 56 euros).

Start video
Check out the official trailer for the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16

Notebook functions without the display unit on a monitor

The seller indicated that the model was defective and that he could only sell the lower part. A display unit was therefore not included.

However, the gamer quickly realized, he explained on Reddit, that the sold model was an Asus Zephyrus G16. This version sells for at least 1,700 euros and more, and it is part of Asus’s high-end series (via rog.asus.com). Under the brand “ROG”, Asus sells high-end models, while its TUF series markets more budget-friendly models.

He took the risk and bought the device for so little money. Because in the worst-case scenario, he could at least remove and reuse the SSD and RAM. That would then have been covered by the 67 euros.

At home, he was then able to connect the device to his monitor with a new power cable and a display cable, and the laptop started up smoothly and perfectly – aside from the missing display unit.

What’s next? The user himself explained that he would likely sell the device and buy a new display unit for it. You can find the device used for at least 1,200 euros or more. Therefore, the owner is likely to make a big profit if he manages to repair and sell it.

Used hardware can be a good alternative

Used hardware can be worthwhile: If you want to upgrade your system, it can definitely pay off to look for used hardware. Because you usually get this cheaper than if you buy the items new. The biggest disadvantage is often the lack of warranty from the manufacturer.

However, some sellers also offer used hardware with a receipt, so you also have warranty in case you need it.

Nevertheless, you should be a bit careful, as in the past Chinese miners flooded the market with cheap high-end graphics cards. Here you could only speculate about the wear and tear of the used hardware. Depending on the professionalism of the miners, you could also end up with very worn-out graphics cards. One manufacturer even warned against buying these used graphics cards and referred to a performance loss with mining GPUs.

More about used hardware: A tech YouTuber wanted to conduct a special experiment. He wanted to build a gaming PC solely from used hardware. However, his action went terribly wrong. You can read the entire action with video directly on MeinMMO:

Medieval Dynasty: Survival hit on Steam finally gets co-op, moves players to tears with the trailer

The survival game Medieval Dynasty on Steam promises to bring you the co-op mode this year. As the reactions to the trailer and the release date show, players seem to have been waiting for this for a long time.

Which game is it about? Medieval Dynasty is a mix of survival and life simulation, set in medieval Europe.

You build and manage your own village, establish a community, and take care of all matters concerning it. Interactions with NPCs are the main focus, as fulfilling their needs is an important step in expanding your village.

With its gameplay mechanics, Medieval Dynasty seems to have hit the mark. This is suggested by the 90% positive ratings on Steam.

A while ago, a co-op mode was announced, which players have long wished for. Now, the much-anticipated mode has come a step closer, as the release date has finally been revealed in a new trailer.

On Steam, you can use the co-op mode starting from December 7, 2023. Console players will have to wait until the first or even second quarter of 2024.

You can watch the trailer here on MeinMMO:

Medieval Dynasty Coop Trailer

What the trailer shows: The trailer gives you an impression of the possibilities that the co-op mode will offer. You will see gameplay scenes where you explore the medieval world of the game with up to four players, go hunting, and gather materials.

Together, you will continue to expand the village and take on different tasks to reach your goals faster and make your settlement grow more quickly.

Besides work, it seems that fun will also not be lacking in the upcoming co-op mode. In a little gameplay scene, the four players even have a snowball fight.

How are the reactions? The co-op mode has been long desired by players, as is evident in the comments on YouTube. Finally having a release date to be able to play with their friends soon excites many:

  • Davamir writes: I sit here with tears in my eyes, OMG, this is going to be so cool […]
  • valeqsi463 writes: I am so excited about this. The wait is almost over
  • Mason-kd2zr writes: I expect the game to gain a lot of popularity when the co-op mode arrives […]
  • LaBonnieBelle writes: I can’t wait. My friend and I love this game. The love and attention you put into the game is just beautiful.

Are you also waiting for the co-op mode? Or will Medieval Dynasty remain a single-player game for you? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments.

FIFA professional misses record for the fastest 20 wins

Who holds the current record? There is no official entry for the record, but the streamer and e-professional FurkyPlayz regularly informed his community in FIFA 23 about the best times for the fastest 20 wins in the Weekend League.

According to the streamer, he achieved a record of 20 wins in under 90 minutes, thus claiming to have the fastest time for 20 games won. This would give FurkyPlayz at least the unofficial German record.

The professional documented his record in a video on YouTube. You can watch the highlights here:

Is the record time claimed by FurkyPlayz even realistic? Normally, a game lasts 15 to 20 minutes in full length. For 5 games, one must account for at least an hour, more likely even 90 minutes. Over 20 games, this would total around 6 hours of play time.

However, many players save time by not finishing a game when they fall behind by several goals. The result is that they leave the game and give their opponent the victory even before the 90 minutes are up, which is colloquially known as a rage quit.

Thus, the under 90 minutes claimed by FurkyPlayz is nevertheless difficult to achieve, as the level of opponents increases with wins, making rage quits less likely. However, such a record time is not impossible.

The world champion missed the best time by a good half hour. However, the German eSports player was not actually on a record hunt. Something else seems to be occupying him more. What exactly, you can read below.

In EA FC 24, it became a downfall for the world champion that he apparently improved too quickly compared to most other players. He had great difficulty finding opponents.

Too fast for the WL? Professional considers new accounts

How does the professional react to his walkover? In the already linked highlight video of his weekend league, the FIFA world champion is asked by a streaming colleague what he would do for the rest of the weekend. Since the professional has nothing left to do on his Sunday, he is considering at least a third account, maybe even several new accounts.

If the eSports player manages to go through the 20 games as quickly with his future accounts, we might soon report on a new record for the most Weekend League wins in one weekend.

That he can also secure the best rewards with less strong teams, the world champion recently proved with a budget female team.

Twitch streamer makes an appointment to play with her best friend – But she prefers to play with a big YouTuber

It should be an entertaining evening, where the popular TikToker and Twitch streamer Dilara wanted to play and stream Fortnite together with her best friend Anna. However, even before the planned gaming event, the situation escalated and Anna burst into tears.

Who is Dilara? Since 2019, Dilara has captivated the social media world with her content, especially on TikTok. With an impressive following of 6.9 million followers, she has become a true influencer. Her videos include dance clips, fan questions, and current TikTok trends.

In August 2023, she successfully started on Twitch, with her first stream attracting over 5,000 viewers. On Twitch, Dilara often plays with her colleague “Stegi” and shares clips of it on TikTok.

Her trademarks are her green hair strands and her constant smile.

Who is Anna? Often found by Dilara’s side is her friend Anna, who, with her striking fire-red hair, is another social media star. The two call themselves “Mario and Luigi”.

Anna herself has 1.7 million TikTok followers and shares not only dance videos but also comedy, vlogs, and current TikTok trends. She has been active on Twitch since May 2021, averaging around 500 viewers (via Twitchtracker).

“I feel a bit sold out, actually”

What happened before the planned stream? The two friends had arranged for a joint evening, in which they wanted to play Fortnite and stream live on Twitch at the same time. However, they had not agreed on a specific time.

Before the planned Fortnite matches, Anna decided to play three rounds of Counter-Strike. Surprisingly, Dilara joined her streamer colleague Rewinside to also play Counter-Strike to kill time.

Before the Counter-Strike rounds were over, Anna started to discuss the situation in her own Twitch stream and said: “I feel a bit sold out, actually. I specifically said I would do 3 rounds of Counter-Strike and then we would play Fortnite. And then Rewi pops up, and it’s like, okay, I’m also playing Counter-Strike now. But she didn’t ask me if I wanted to play Counter-Strike.”.

Anna explained that she wished Dilara had asked her if she wanted to play Counter-Strike. She said she would find it uncool because it was not the first time with Dilara.

Why did Anna start to cry? Eventually, Anna burst into tears. Her colleague in the stream said: “Time and again. That is the worst part about it.”

Many viewers wrote to Dilara in the chat that Anna was crying. Dilara was shocked and tried to call Anna, but she did not pick up the phone. Dilara’s chat clarified that Anna did not want to talk to her at that moment.

Confused and worried, Dilara asked if Anna was angry with her since they had not agreed on a specific time for playing together yet. The chat then explained: “She would have liked to play Counter-Strike with you.” Dilara apologized but emphasized that she did not understand the situation.

She said: “I would say we didn’t do anything, did we? So, nothing bad at all. We just played Counter-Strike because she was still in the game.”

The situation sparked discussions on social media because Anna had recently expressed that she would only feel like “the sidekick” with Dilara: “I am the sidekick” – Twitch streamer tells how it feels when the friend suddenly becomes famous

You can watch one of the best superhero movies of the last few years on Netflix next week

Spider-Man is one of the most famous superheroes of all time. After No Way Home, there was also a film of the web-slinger released this year. This time, the sequel to the animated film. The film was a huge financial success, and it was also popular with critics. Next week you can watch the film on Netflix.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was a real hit this year. It was not only a financial success but also well-received by critics. On the platform Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an average rating of 96 % from critics and 94 % from users.

The film is the sequel to Spider-Man: A New Universe and continues the story of Miles Morales, who is the Spider-Man in his universe. He faces a new enemy that poses a threat to the entire multiverse. In the film, Miles meets many other Spider-Man variants.

This year, the film even dethroned the well-known Bat-Man:

“The Dark Knight” has been dethroned as the best superhero movie of all time – moviegoers around the world celebrate the new king

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse – Trailer 3 (English) HD

An Animation Masterpiece

What makes the film so good? In animated films, we find ourselves in a rather generic state regarding how such films look. Disney, Pixar, Illumination, and others have their quirks in character design and how people look there, but the animation style and animation technique are very similar.

Everything is always very clear, with defined movements and a slick style. Spider-Man: A New Universe did it completely differently in 2018 by mixing classic 3D animation with 2D elements from cartoons and anime. This gives the film a comic book-like look and establishes its own style.

The edges and corners also define the character of the film and perfectly suit the multiverse theme in this year’s sequel. The many other Spider-Men are perfectly showcased and each has a character that is clearly communicated through their own animations and drawing styles.

Miles Morales is also a great change from the Peter Parker stories of the other films. His interactions with his parents and his presentation of his background are simply heartwarming and believable. The film is less for children and more for teenagers and adults. It also offers older Spider-Man fans many nods to the hero’s history that many young fans may not know.

This Action Doesn’t Need to Hide

One of the key points of the film is the action. With the many colors and wild animations, each action sequence is a true feast for the eyes. Swinging through the city is dynamic and captivating at the same time.

If you watch the new Turtles film and the Puss in Boots film, you can also see the influence the new Spider-Man series can have on animated films, and you can only hope that more animated films will finally become more experimental.

This animated series is a trilogy, and the conclusion of the series will also come in the coming years. Starting November 1st, you can watch Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse on Netflix. If you’re not familiar with the series at all, you can also watch the first part on Netflix beforehand.

For the third part of the animation saga, fans are wishing for a very special actor:

“Across the Spider-Verse” impresses in theaters, and now the community hopes for a “The Last of Us” star in the next Spider-Man film

Unknown manga overtakes Dragon Ball, Naruto, and Jujutsu Kaisen – has only 6 chapters and becomes a cult meme

Even before the first chapter of Kagurabachi was released, the manga gained a large fanbase. Many users claim that Kagurabachi is better than One Piece, Boruto, and other well-known shounen mangas. The hype has drawn a lot of attention to the manga.

What is Kagurabachi about?

  • At the center of the story is a young man named Chihiro
  • He is the son of a well-known swordsmith and dreams of following in his father’s footsteps
  • The swordsmith is killed one day, and Chihiro becomes a sword fighter to avenge his father
  • With his magical sword, he faces a group of sorcerers

The manga is not that old: The first chapter was released on September 19, 2023, and there are currently only 6 chapters. Nevertheless, the manga is seen by many fans as the heir to the “Big 3” in the shounen genre, which includes One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach.

If Kagurabachi becomes as successful as One Piece, an anime could follow soon. One Piece has even made it to a live-action adaptation on Netflix:

One Piece – German Trailer for the First Season of the Live-Action Series by Netflix

Kagurabachi surpasses Dragon Ball and Boruto

Why is the manga so successful? The manga became a target for many memes even before its release. Some users took pleasure in hyping the manga as the best shounen manga of all time (via knowyourmeme.com).

Thus, many memes emerged that show Kagurabachi in relation to well-known mangas. For example, there are memes depicting Chihiro defeating the sword fighter Zorro from One Piece in a battle.

The memes have spread uncontrollably on the internet. A collection of memes can be seen, for example, at user Jahseh_Wrld on Reddit:

The memes even go so far that fans fake an anime or a video game adaptation that looks almost real. As a result, some users believe that there is already a whole franchise around the manga, even though it is only a month old.

The hype does not necessarily indicate how good the story of the manga is. It could be that the hype was completely unfounded, and the manga may flop in the future. Since the manga currently only has 6 chapters, it is difficult to predict how good it will really become.

How successful has Kagurabachi been because of this? The hype has ensured that Kagurabachi has now become the second most read manga on the Manga Plus page. Only One Piece is currently read more often. Behind Kagurabachi are well-known series such as Jujutsu Kaisen and Boruto.

Manga Plus is a site from the Shueisha publishing house. The publisher offers popular mangas such as One Piece, Dragon Ball Super, and My Hero Academia for reading on its site. Many of the mangas there have spawned action-packed animes that you can find in the ranking on MeinMMO:

Star Citizen finally shows something that looks like a real game: “The wait was worth it”

The huge crowdfunding project Star Citizen celebrates itself and its fans at CitizenCon. The highlight of the event was a 27-minute video about the single-player campaign Squadron 42, featuring Hollywood stars like Gary Oldman, Mark Hamill, and Gillian Anderson. The game is now “featured-complete.”

This was the most important news from CitizenCon:

  • After an almost endless development time, CIG is celebrating an important milestone of the single-player spin-off of Star Citizen: Squadron 42.
  • The game is now “feature complete.” Only polishing is left, as Chris Roberts announces.
  • However, CIG still does not provide a release date for Squadron 42: Experts estimate that there are still 2 to 3 years until the release (via pcgamer). Roberts stated: “When we set a release date, you will be the first to know.”
Start video

Bombastic presentation full of Hollywood stars

This is what we see in the trailer for Squadron 42: The 27-minute trailer presents Squadron 42 in its entirety.

Senior Game Director, Richard Tyrer, directs the viewers’ focus to “tactical first-person shooter combat and stealth elements”.

Viewers will surely notice the distinctive faces of the Hollywood stars: CIG has recruited several actors and actresses in 2015 who are well-known and well-received by the target audience of the game:

  • Mark Hamill (Star Wars)
  • Gillian Anderson (The X-Files)
  • Gary Oldman (The Fifth Element)

stand out particularly.

The actors were filmed with ping-pong balls at that time. The recordings took place in 2015 and were documented back then (via pcgamer).

Squadron 42 was originally announced for 2014 – News blackout since 2020

Originally, the release of Squadron 42 was even announced for 2014, but then it was postponed many times.

In December 2020, Roberts then announced that no new release dates would be mentioned and no gameplay shown until they were “in the final sprint.” This point has now seemingly been reached.

After 10 years of waiting, many players are moved

How is the trailer received? The trailer is receiving excellent feedback. Currently, it has already garnered over 200,000 views within 8 hours and generated many enthusiastic comments.

  • The most popular comment says: “Mind blown: That was such a fantastic cinematic/walkthrough of Squadron 42. I am hyped.”
  • Others say: It was worth the wait.
  • One comment says almost ceremonially: After a 10-year journey, we have arrived here.
Star Citizen Squadron 42 Trailer Screenshot 2

And is this now Star Citizen? No, Squadron 42 is a “spin-off of Star Citizen”:

  • Star Citizen itself is a sandbox MMO with a huge universe. The game is currently in alpha. What is special about Star Citizen is that the game is funded through donations. In the meantime, CIG has raised $616 million – a lot of money comes from the sale of expensive virtual ships, which are also viewed as trade and speculation objects.
  • Squadron 42 is a single-player game with a clear story. The game is currently unplayable, but a release is expected in the coming years.

Star Citizen – a special project

What’s behind it: A convention for a single game that has not yet been released. $616 million invested in virtual ships. A game developer who is almost venerated cultically.

Star Citizen has become more of a hobby or a way of life for many than a “normal game.” This is also evident in the comments on the YouTube video.

Despite all the criticism regarding postponed release dates, vaporware, and feature creep, it must be acknowledged that the team around Chris Roberts repeatedly manages to present Star Citizen as an event where the journey seems to be more important than the destination. The emotional connection players have formed with this project is almost unprecedented. This is paying off in the project’s funding. Just on October 22, $1.6 million came in fresh.

All the criticism and outsiders’ misunderstanding of the project seemingly only serve to make the community bond even closer around the game.

Even as an outsider looking at all this with raised eyebrows, one cannot help but watch with curiosity how it will all end. The decision to focus on the “tangible” in 2023 on Squadron 42, rather than talking about distant milestones in Star Citizen, seems to be paying off.

Chris Roberts has announced that many elements from Squadron 42 will also be integrated into Star Citizen and will significantly improve it:

And when you watch the trailer, you can definitely recognize the love that the team put into it, regardless of whether you like it or not.

The combat scenes that you see in the trailer are beautifully staged. The team really well utilized the different angles, speeds, and stylistic devices to breathe life into the trailer and keep it exciting for the viewer.

The fire in the background creates the right atmosphere when you can only perceive the characters as black outlines.

All this is accompanied by suitable music, which gives the trailer the final touch. So it is quite understandable why the trailer is so well received by players.

One of the rarest mounts from WoW is now in Diablo 4, but it costs real money

Invincible is the mount of the Lich King Arthas and a rare drop in World of Warcraft. Anyone riding through Azeroth with it is guaranteed to attract all the attention.

How much does the mount cost in Diablo 4? Invincible can now be purchased in the Diablo 4 shop. It costs 2,500 Platinum, which means you have to buy at least the package with 2,800 Platinum for 24.99 euros.

The package also includes a matching mount armor as well as the Helm of Domination and the sword Echo of Frostmourne as trophies. This gives you a really nice mount package.

Can you always buy the mount? The current offer will already disappear today, on October 23, at 7:00 PM from the shop, along with the Invincible bundle. However, offers in the shop often rotate either downwards or come back later. So we can’t say for sure whether the offer will disappear irretrievably.

How expensive is this compared to other shop items? In the shop, there are similar mount packages for 1,600 to 2,000 Platinum. The Lich King’s mount is therefore a bit more expensive. Complete armor packages for the classes cost up to 2,800 Platinum.

Here you can take a look at the skin:

Mount has only a drop chance of 4% in WoW

How rare is Invincible in WoW? While you can simply buy the mount in Diablo 4, you need to work hard to get it in WoW. To obtain the mount, you have to defeat the Lich King in his raid Icecrown Citadel on heroic difficulty.

However, the mount only drops in 3 out of 67 cases and currently has a drop chance of about 4.48% in WOTLK Classic (via WoWHead). At the release of Wrath of the Lich King, this chance was only around one percent.

Although Arthas is now defeated fairly quickly and easily, it was an absolutely rare mount at the release of Wrath of the Lich King.

Even today, it is still one of the rarest. A player needed a whopping 4 years to get it from the raid. His reaction to the drop is absolutely amazing.

Diablo 4: Blizzard is raffling off a PC filled with human blood if players donate over 600 liters of blood

In Blizzards Diablo 4 the latest season has started. At the beginning, a strange PR campaign was devised. For enough blood donations, they are auctioning a gaming PC with fast hardware.

To celebrate the release of the new season of the game, Season of Blood, and the blood harvest events that were introduced with it, Blizzard has launched a month-long blood donation campaign in the USA that unlocks in-game rewards as more players participate.

Once the donations reach a certain amount, players can participate in a raffle where they can win “a PC cooled with real human blood.” By the way, our title image is a symbolic image and cannot be won.

You can watch the new season here in the official trailer:

Start video
Diablo 4 presents new Season 2, coming this fall – Blood & Vampires

In addition to a gaming PC, there are also skins and a special mount

By the way, Blizzard is working with local blood donation centers for the entire campaign. You must submit the corresponding proof of donation on the website where you can also see the donation goal (via bloodharvest.com).

How much must be donated? Blizzard states that a total of 666 quarts of blood must be collected with the campaign. Quarts are a unit of measurement that is no longer used in Germany. 666 quarts is approximately 630 liters.

What is there to win? If enough blood is donated, a whole range of new skins, armor, and even a mount will be unlocked for all players:

  • At 33% of the goal, there are 5 new weapon cosmetics.
  • At 66%, the cosmetic armor Loch Raeth Maor Barbarian is unlocked.
  • At 100%, a new mount is unlocked and the raffle is opened.

The campaign runs until November 22, 2023. You can check the progress of the donation campaign on Blizzard’s website that we linked above.

What’s in the PC? Aside from the fact that the PC uses “human blood in the cooling liquid,” the system contains powerful hardware:

  • Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090
  • Intel Core i9 CPU
  • 64 GB DDR5 RAM
  • 3 TB SSD Storage

The performance should therefore be more than sufficient not only for Diablo 4 but also for all other modern titles. With the GeForce RTX 4090 you get the fastest graphics card that can be installed in the computer.

The catch: Only residents of the 50 US states who are at least 18 years old are eligible to participate. Most of us are therefore not allowed to participate in this campaign, but are supposedly benefiting from the new skins, the armor, and the mount. Because these are then supposed to be unlocked for all players.

More about Season 2 in Diablo: You can find all information about the new season in Diablo 4 directly on our site MeinMMO. Here we present all the information in detail and explain what you should know for the launch:

Player shows one of the strongest builds in Diablo 4 Season 2, defeats Uber Lilith in 10 seconds

Witches were previously considered one of the weakest classes in Diablo 4. With Season 2, however, Blizzard has significantly improved and provided buffs. Now, spellcasters have one of the strongest builds in the game, as an impressive video shows.

What is this build?

  • The Arcane Orb Sorceress is one of the top builds for Sorceresses in Season 2, along with the builds surrounding Ice Shard, Firewall, and Blizzard .
  • In addition, the build is among the strongest in the game: It is in the S-Tier of the tier list (via maxroll.gg).
  • Now a player has defeated Uber Lilith with the build, the nasty final boss of the game, which serves as a benchmark for builds. Although the video is one minute long, the actual fight without cutscenes lasts less than 10 seconds:

This is what makes the build strong: The build relies on you casting the namesake spell Arcane Orb. With the right runes and legendary affixes, the orbs then swirl around you and deal damage.

Additionally, the ultimate ability “Unstable Current” ensures that you cast random spells whenever a shock ability is cast. The Arcane Orb build takes advantage of the new vampire powers from Season 2. Here it gains benefits from:

  • increased attack speed
  • reduced cooldown on “Unstable Current”
  • guaranteed vulnerability, something that Sorceresses had trouble with before

The special thing about it is the Pact of Transformation, which generates mana. Although it is actually the “strongest” in the set, it is not leveled up – so that it is triggered more often. Your entire focus is on having many Arcane Orbs that roast the enemy in seconds.

In principle, you just stand next to enemies in a dress of lightning and watch them die. Such absurd scenes have only previously been achieved by Barbarians who could kill enemies while AFK.

The theme of Season 2 is vampires:

The Zonk from Season 1 is now really strong – players want it to stay that way

Many players are happy that Sorceresses now have a build in S-Tier. In Season 1 and before, the class was by far the worst and could hardly compete with the other classes in endgame content.

The big problem of the class was that very few builds were actually playable, because the “vulnerable” mechanic accounted for most of the damage in the game. Sorceresses could only reliably achieve this through certain ice spells.

Now they can trigger the effect with all spells through the vampiric pacts and have much more choice in their builds. Players, for example on Reddit, are happy about this and say: This is how it should be. Not just one build, but many per class should be fun.

Diablo 4 is not a competitive game that requires careful balance. If several classes and builds maybe go a bit overboard, that’s not a problem. Overall, it looks like Season 2 is doing a lot right:
