Currently, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is on sale in the PlayStation Store. Why you should grab it and why the second part of the story surrounding the young Jedi Cal Kestis is worth it for you can be found here at MeinMMO.
What is this offer about? The offer refers to the standard edition of the game in the official PS Store. There, you can currently get the edition for €51.99 instead of the full €79.99. So you can save a total of 35% on the game until October 26, 2023, 00:59 CEST.
The standard edition includes the game without any additional content. Why you should still take advantage of the offer if you do not already own the game can be found here.
What is Jedi: Survivor about? Star Wars Jedi: Survivor takes place five years after the events of its predecessor Fallen Order. In this third-person adventure, you travel as Cal Kestis, one of the last surviving Jedi Knights, through a galaxy that is sinking deeper into darkness.
While fleeing from the Empire, Cal must face many dangers and decide how far he is willing to go to protect himself, his crew, and the entire legacy of the Jedi Order.
Why you should grab it: Without revealing too much of the story, the comments under the story trailer (via YouTube) speak for themselves and should convince everyone to play the game:
suhilsuresh2497 writes: After I finished the story, I can happily say that this was one of the best Star Wars stories I have ever experienced.
jackrobins8756 writes: I love how you can see the change in the characters since Fallen Order.
willschrueder9107 writes: This game emotionally broke me. I’m still crying days later. […] This was probably the best Star Wars since George Lucas had control. […] A MUST for anyone interested in Star Wars […] I feel sorry for the PC players who cannot experience the game as it was intended because when it works, it’s a 10 out of 10.
The latter refers to the criticism the game received after its release, especially for its PC version. So even if you want to give the game on PS5 a second chance, this offer might be worthwhile right now.
But there are also various opinions about the PC version:
Today, on October 17th, the Spotlight Hour with Pumpkaboo starts in Pokémon GO. We provide an overview of everything about the Shiny, the bonuses, and the event’s contents.
What kind of event is this? In Pokémon GO, a Spotlight Hour takes place every Tuesday evening. During this time, a Pokémon along with a bonus is the focus. Before the start of a new month, Niantic determines which Pokémon with which bonuses will be active in the following weeks. The event lasts for one hour and provides significantly more spawns of the selected Pokémon. The bonuses relate to candy, stardust, or experience points.
At today’s event, you will encounter Pumpkaboo. It belongs to the Ghost and Grass types and originates from the sixth generation of games.
Spotlight Hour on October 17, 2023 – Start, Bonuses, Shiny
When does it start? As usual, the Spotlight Hour today begins at 6:00 PM local time. The event ends after one hour at 7:00 PM.
What bonuses are active? In the wild, you will encounter Pumpkaboo much more frequently. If you want even more spawns, you can additionally light a incense to attract more specimens.
During the event, you will receive double stardust for catching Pokémon. Even if you don’t need Pumpkaboo, you can still stock up on your resources during the event.
Today marks the third Spotlight Hour in October. Two more events of this kind will follow this month:
Can Shiny Pumpkaboo be caught? Yes, the shiny form of Pumpkaboo is already active in Pokémon GO and can be caught by you during the event. However, keep in mind that the chances of getting Shinys are not increased during Spotlight Hours.
Is the Spotlight Hour worth it today? Neither Pumpkaboo nor its evolution are significantly strong. There are better alternatives among both Ghost and Grass Pokémon. However, merely for the stardust, participating can be worthwhile for many trainers.
Keep in mind that this bonus not only affects catches of Pumpkaboo but all Pokémon you catch during the event time.
In Baldur’s Gate 3 you have the opportunity to engage in a lot of conversations. Not all of them are meaningful or particularly important, but almost always they are entertaining.
But you can not only talk to humanoids or monsters, but also with many animals. They are significantly more intelligent than one would actually expect from them and often have unique information. Some of the best conversations you’ll have are actually with the pigeons – because they take things a bit more seriously.
What about the pigeons? The pigeons in Baldur’s Gate 3 are responsible for communication. They carry letters and small messages – they are indeed carrier pigeons.
The pigeons themselves take their job much more seriously, as this little clip proves:
The pigeons see themselves as part of a “communication unit” and are apparently involved in a “war”.
How can you talk to animals? To speak with animals, you have several options. Many classes, such as druids or barbarians, can learn the spell “Speak with Animals” as a native ability. For some, it is a ritual spell (cost-free), while others must expend a level-1 spell slot for it.
Alternatively, you can drink a potion that has the same effect. The potions are sometimes offered by merchants, but can also be found in the game world or created through alchemy.
The effect of the spell or potion lasts for the rest of the day, so you can benefit from it for a long time.
Essentially, with every class, you have enough opportunities to talk to animals – make good use of it.
Where can you find the pigeons? You can meet the pigeons in the third act of the game, before the city of Baldur’s Gate. In the small village before the big bridge to the actual city entrance, you can find the local post station.
What the “Commander” says about the threat is relevant, by the way. If you investigate the roof west of the pigeon station, you should definitely bring Gale with you. He might have something to say about the terrible enemy.
A small bonus for those who listen closely: The voice of the commander pigeon is actually the same as that of the vampire lord Cazador. Whether this makes the pigeon a bit more epic or Cazador a little funnier is up to your interpretation.
Have you often talked to animals? Or have you largely ignored this feature?
The streamer “JapImport” experienced a rise on Twitch in 2023: He found a game he enjoyed, “Slay the Spire”, and began to achieve some success. So he eagerly applied for a partnership with Twitch, but then came the rude awakening: Twitch permanently banned him on Friday, the 13th.
This is the story of the streamer:
The US streamer “JapImport” discovered Twitch in the summer of 2022. He showcases “Slay the Spire”, a game regarded as great that scored 89% on Metacritic, but is quite niche.
Over the course of a year, JapImport experienced steady growth. He gradually increased his viewership from just 4 to around 80 viewers. He is now the number 10 among Twitch streamers for “Slay the Spire”. Number 1 is actually the German Lifecoach, who was once a big name in Hearthstone.
So JaoImport took a leap of faith and wrote to Twitch expressing his desire to become a partner: This is the way to earn some money with Twitch.

The 5 biggest Twitch bans that caused a lot of commotion
Twitch permanently bans streamer on Friday the 13th.
That was his rude awakening: The streamer made the mistake of applying at the wrong time and received notification from Twitch on Friday, October 13th, that his account was permanently banned for using an “inappropriate username”.
Somehow, Twitch seemed to think that his chosen name “JapImport” was in some way racist.
He was told that his offense in choosing that name was so serious that it could not simply be changed. He could only create a new account: He wrote that no one had ever cared about his name before, and now he faced the Insta-ban without any warning.

Other streamers help the unlucky one – Twitch apologizes
This is how it turned out: Some Twitch streamers for “Slay the Spire” changed their language to Japanese to support him. Additionally, a larger streamer stepped in to support him.
On October 14th, the message from Twitch came: The ban had been lifted. Twitch had made a mistake.
Nevertheless, the streamer became so anxious that he quickly changed his name to “JapaneseExpert”. He is still not a partner.
This is what’s behind it: This is a pattern that repeats itself at Twitch: As a “simple streamer”, one simply cannot reach anyone at the US company and gets ignored. It seems incredibly important to “know someone at Twitch” who can advocate for you. Without personal connections, it seems that no one answers the phone or responds to any emails.
However, when either the public or a larger streamer steps in, things often start to move.
We have repeatedly reported on MeinMMO about bizarre bans on Twitch that were only lifted after public pressure.
Austrian Antonio Schachinger (31) has received the book prize for the best German-language novel of 2023. In ‘Echtzeitalter’, it is about a gamer who rises to champion in Age of Empires 2 (Steam), but no one in the ‘real world’ of adults acknowledges it; there, only his grades, which keep getting worse, are seen.
What kind of prize is this?
The ‘Deutscher Buchpreis’ (bdp) is the most prestigious award a novel can win in Germany. It is endowed with €25,000 and awarded by the Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels.
Seven jury members reviewed about 200 books that were published from October 2022 to September 2023, created a shortlist of favorites, and chose the winner from there.
Since 2005, the prize has annually awarded the most significant German-language novel of the year: in 2005, it was ‘Es geht uns gut’ by Arno Geiger. In 2008, Uwe Tellkamp won with ‘Der Turm’.
Now the prize has been won by the only 31-year-old Austrian author Antonio Schachinger.
Age of Empires is an iconic series of strategy games. The first game was released in 1997:

15-year-old becomes champ in Age of Empires 2, but the grades ….
This is what his novel is about: The novel ‘Echtzeitalter’ is about 15-year-old Till, who attends an elite boarding school in Vienna. After the death of his father, he retreats into the world of video games. Especially the strategy game Age of Empires II captivates him.
Already at 15, he becomes one of the 10 best players in the world, but his school grades are deteriorating. In the adult world, no one is interested in his success in the virtual. Mom is anyway addicted to Candy Crush.
What is Age of Empires 2?Age of Empires 2: The Age of Kings was released in 1999 by Microsoft: It is a real-time strategy game set in the Middle Ages. It is considered a milestone in gaming. Players gather resources, construct buildings, raise armies, and defeat their enemies.
The series Age of Empires was one of the first multiplayer games that could establish competitive play with and against each other via an online mode. The podcast “Stay Forever” dealt extensively with the history and impact of Age of Empires in May 2023.
Even today, Age of Empires 2, in the ‘Definitive Edition’, which was released in 2019, has about 15,000 average active players on Steam.

The world of computer games as a place of fantasy and freedom
This is what the jury says: The jury praised ‘Echtzeitalter’ for its subtle irony and how the present is described there: Raw violence speaks from educated pupils. The world of computer games offers a place of fantasy and freedom.
Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
This is what the author says: Schachinger says he sees himself in a mediator role when gaming. He knows that there is not much overlap between people who buy books and those who have knowledge of computer games.
I wanted to show what actually happens when you play, what it means, and how hard it is to overcome this bridge from the detailed knowledge that Till has to his mother’s level of knowledge.
The difficulty of explaining to mom what one actually does and why one cannot just pause in multiplayer games is something many gamers will relate to.
Young gamers in the real world who want to make a name for themselves in e-sports still encounter bizarre problems:
Blue Protocol is one of the new MMORPGs that is being talked about a lot this year. International players can currently play the game in beta testing, but it is set to be released in 2024 and will be free to play. Now the game shows new gameplay and update content in a trailer, which at least the Japanese players can look forward to.
The new trailer, which was uploaded on the Japanese YouTube channel, gives a taste of the new content that is set to come with an update on October 25, 2023, in Japan.
We have embedded the trailer here for you:

Blue Protocol Update Trailer Japan October 2023
It looks like Japanese players will be able to play the fourth chapter of the MMORPG next week, which brings new story content and a new explorable region.
In West Barnhardt Peninsula, players must unravel the mystery of a murdered king and a wrongly accused character in the new story segment.
Meanwhile, the game also tempts its Japanese players with Gacha-Cosmetics for their female and male characters in preparation for Halloween. Players can also obtain these starting October 25.
According to everything known from translators about the update, players can reach a new maximum level of 60 instead of 50 and will receive corresponding ability enhancements. Two new dungeons have been announced along with a new raid mission, including a battle against a sandworm.
In the meantime, Bandai Namco is trying to improve the game with a few patches. After the release, there was actually some criticism for the developers, as MeinMMO author Alexander reported in August.
Whether international players will experience the content of this update directly at the full release in 2024 or whether they will also receive the story in delayed chapters will likely be revealed next year.
In Baldur’s Gate 3 you can play as the Dark Urge. Players discover unique dialogues with their companions and are thrilled. MeinMMO reveals to you what lies behind it.
Baldur’s Gate 3, the celebrated turn-based role-playing adventure that captivates players worldwide, constantly holds surprises – some of which you only experience when you play as the Dark Urge (engl. Dark Urge).
Spoiler: The article contains spoilers about the Dark Urge. Read on at your own risk, we warned you.
What is the Dark Urge in gameplay terms? Dark Urge uniquely combines two things in character selection:
You can create a character yourself, being free in your choice of class, race, and appearance.
But you still experience a pre-made storyline, as if you select one of the companions like Gale or Karlach as your starting hero.
So you get the best of both worlds: If you want to freely design a hero, you miss out on a personal story. If you choose one of the companions, you have less freedom in character design.
But what makes Dark Urge so fascinating? It’s the unexpected twists it allows the player. Playing as a serial killer opens up unique interactions with your companions and new scenarios in the game, which players discover and love the Dark Urge for even more.
Here you can find helpful tips for your gameplay:

Players love the interactions with the Dark Urge
What have players discovered? One of these scenes can be experienced with Astarion, but it’s quite something. A player reports on Reddit about a unique dialogue that Astarion has during the game with the Dark Urge.
Here you can see the Reddit post:

If you start a romance as Dark Urge with Astarion, the pale elf will throw the following words at you, as Reddit user Jadefangg discovered: I would rather be the only dark power in your body, if you don’t mind.
After Astarion’s line, the player humorously concluded: “That’s why I will always play Dark Urge from now on.”
Jadefangg also praises:
I’m currently playing through Dark Urge for the second time, and the first playthrough was Tav… I feel like Dark Urge has so much more to offer – the interactions with the companions and the environment, the dialogue options, and the inevitable murders triggered because you don’t know if the selected option will even lead to a murder? […]
What does Tav mean? Tav is the preset name that Baldur’s Gate 3 gives to custom characters. If you don’t change your name, you will start as Tav. Additionally, Tav could mean: Tadpoled Adventurer, as all self-created characters are named because everyone has been infected.
The name is reportedly derived from the original development version with the project name Gustav. Gustav is said to be the name of Swen Vincke’s dog, as voiced by Halsin’s voice actor Dave Jones on X.
Players use the term Tav to refer to the player’s main character. Thus, we all probably carry the nickname of Swen Vincke’s dog.
But not only Astarion is captivated by the allure of the Dark Urge. Your companion Gale also has amazing interactions with the serial killer.
When the player character confessed that he would be forced to kill Gale because he cared the most about him, Gale humorously responded, “Sweet that you care enough about me to murder me. Do you mind if you don’t?” An eccentric dialogue that makes the gameplay all the more entertaining, as player Perfect_Address_6359 notes. The player is aiming to play a good Dark Urge.
Other players also joined the discussion on Reddit and shared special lines of your companions about the Dark Urge:
Dianwei32 writes that Karlach would respond similarly to Gale: With Karlach it’s similar. You tell her, and her reaction is: That’s so sweet… And fucked up.
GreatPhail is thrilled by Lae’zel’s lines: Almost all origin companions: It’s so sweet that you’re trying not to kill me. Lae’zel: Fuck around and find out. Still a sweet scene, but my god, she’s so different from the others lol.
Consistent-Basis-509 believes: Urge has some of the best scenes, and I stand by that.
What exactly is the Dark Urge? The Dark Urge is one of the origin stories you can play. As Dark Urge, you take on the role of a person without memories. It is revealed that this character is regularly haunted by an overwhelming urge to murder. As a beginner, you should avoid the Dark Urge unless you are absolute psychos.
The Dark Urge delights in brutality and bloodshed – all of this satisfies the character, even if he does not want it. The Dark Urge thus struggles with an inner conflict – how much should he give in to these impulses?
Anyone playing the Dark Urge will also experience some story surprises during their playthrough.
Dark Urge is undoubtedly a character that not only highlights the dark sides of the game but also brings fun and laughter to the forefront. Who would have thought that evil could be so entertaining?
MeinMMO author Benedict Grothaus has played the Dark Urge and is thrilled:

On YouTube, a conflict is currently escalating between two major YouTubers: jacksfilms criticized the reaction YouTuber SSSniperWolf, claiming she would steal content. The 30-year-old felt harassed by the constant criticism and sought a clarifying conversation. She went to the YouTuber’s house, made a video, and posted it on Instagram. For jacksfilms, all boundaries have been crossed: He demands her ban.
Which YouTuber is being referred to?
In the German-speaking area, she is relatively unknown, but SSSniperWolf is a massive YouTuber with 34.2 million subscribers. According to various lists, no woman on YouTube has more subscribers than she does. Her name may sound reminiscent of the Nazi era to German viewers, but it is derived from the much more harmless “sexysexysniper”
The YouTuber is 30 years old, started with gameplay videos of Call of Duty, but is now known for her reaction videos: The videos with typical “YouTuber looking surprised/scared/disgusted” thumbnails garner millions of views. She is also big on platforms like Instagram or TikTok.
Many of her videos have typical “Click” themes and are between 9 and 15 minutes long. Current videos are titled something like “TikToks that are ONLY for Boys” or “TikToks that are ONLY for Girls”.
German Twitch streamers do not quite reach these view numbers:

Whether on Madeira or at the mixing console – These are 5 of the biggest German Twitch streamers
YouTuber accuses colleague of ”stealing content” – only reacting
This is the criticism: The significantly smaller, but still huge YouTuber jackflims (4.88 million subscribers) has repeatedly engaged with SSSniperWolf over the last 3 months: Of the 8 videos he uploaded during this time, 5 were about the YouTuber. These videos also achieve significantly higher view counts than other content on his channel.
He views the YouTuber’s reaction videos as “content theft” because she does not do enough to give her reaction videos a personal touch: Her content is not “transformative,” adding too little to the videos she reacts to.
In this way, he sees the actual creators of the content robbed of their fair reward.
An example of SSSniperWolf’s content.
YouTuber believes: The YouTuber is harassing her with his content
How does SSSniperWolf feel about this? She feels overwhelmed by the criticism now, believes the YouTuber is doing nothing but criticize her and has ulterior profit motives: He is making money at her expense.
On Instagram, where she has 6 million followers, she has already spoken several times about jackfilms. For instance, she asked her followers whether she should visit him – he lives only 5 minutes away.

The YouTuber says the YouTuber is harassing her. His whole channel revolves around her.
She writes that this “creep” has harassed her for months and is forcing himself into a victim role, while she just wants to talk to him.
It is so sad when guys create drama just to pay the bills.
This is how the dispute has now escalated. As jackfilms says, SSSniperwolf has now really shown up in front of his house and broadcast the house to her millions of Instagram followers, posting: “Let’s talk like adults.”
He and his wife now feel “less secure.” He only exercises constructive criticism towards the person, while she now seems to want to use her followers to intimidate him.

For jackfilms, a boundary has been crossed here. He calls on YouTube and Instagram to ban SSSniperWolf. He feels unsafe in his home. No one should be allowed to use their internet fame to intimidate someone like this.
If her behavior goes unpunished, it sets a terrible precedent: One could intimidate and harass their critics as long as one has enough followers. That cannot be allowed.
If she really wanted to talk to him, she would have had numerous other options.
His wife also complained on Twitter that she feels harassed by the YouTuber.

Dispute highlights 3 current conflicts surrounding content creators
This is what lies behind it: Multiple points come together here, which have been increasingly discussed lately.
Reaction content has been criticized for weeks: It is seen as “cheap content” that requires no effort and robs smaller channels that create their own content of their fame, while the larger creators benefit from it. If everyone only reacts, nobody does anything exciting, say the critics.
Others say: By “reacting,” smaller YouTubers are not harmed but rather become known. The criticism has focused on Twitch streamers like Asmongold and xQc, who react for hours and constantly to the content of others.
What you also see here: “Smaller” YouTubers often have great success with content where they attack and criticize larger YouTubers. Their channel often reaches higher views with this kind of content than with normal content: They are then accused of “rising at the expense of others” and that they are not interested in criticism but only in drama.
Larger content creators are also accused of using their reach to silence critics by deliberately attacking them on social media, accusing them of “framing,” only spreading “lies and slander,” and thereby prompting their followers to rant against this channel.
In this case, three current disputes among content creators intersect. Whether YouTube will actually comply with jackfilms’ request and ban SSSniperWolf seems rather unlikely.
Season 2 starts today in Diablo 4. If you are still undecided and don’t know which class you should play at the start, feel free to ask the Wheel of Destiny and participate in our survey.
What’s happening in Diablo 4? This Tuesday evening Blizzard will release the new update 1.2.0 in Sanctuary and unleash the plague of vampires from Season 2. Therefore, it is important to know which class you want to play at the start.
In our article, we offer you a survey where you can fill out which of the five classes you will play. If you don’t care which class you play, just spin the Wheel of Destiny and let “fate” decide for you.
What changes in Season 2?
The season theme: In Season 2, everything revolves around the aftermath of Season 1. Players have fought against the corruption, but now another plague threatens to plunge Sanctuary into chaos – vampires. You will team up with a vampire hunter and fight against this threat.
Balance changes:
Druid, Barbarian, and Necromancer received slight nerfs for some overly powerful builds
Weaker builds of all classes have been strengthened with buffs
Critical and vulnerable buckets have been adjusted and now work additively
Vote here: Each of you has one vote that you can distribute to one of the five classes from Diablo 4. If you want to play multiple classes in Season 2, choose the class you are most excited about.
Here’s what you can do: Are you still unsure or do you not care about the class in Season 2? Then we offer you the Wheel of Destiny here. On the wheel, you will find each class twice. Tap it, and it will spin. It will then stop on one of the five possible classes.
If you’re unsure, the Wheel of Destiny is your best chance to make a decision.

Riot started with League of Legends as its first game, and that game is still the company’s biggest passion project today. However, now Riot wants to change the old Summoner Name System to Riot IDs, like they already have in Valorant and other games. The community is not happy about this at all.
What is it about?
On November 20, Summoner Names in LoL will change to Riot IDs
If the Riot ID is identical to your Summoner Name, nothing will change for you at first
If you want to know what your Riot ID is, you can find it on your Riot Account Page
Once a year you can change your ID for free, if you want to do it more often, it costs €10
Why is Riot doing this? According to Riot Games, it has mainly to do with the lore. In the beginning of LoL, people talked about Summoners, and they were also mentioned in voice lines. Over the years, the focus shifted to the champions themselves, and Summoners as a concept completely disappeared.
Additionally, it will be technically simpler across several Riot games if everyone has the same name. However, unlike the change of the bot games, the community is not thrilled about the name change.
@Godesulol: 90% of the community disagree with this. It only harms the uniqueness of each person’s name with their unique username.
@CaMbCaMbTV: So I have to pay $10 to avoid being stream sniped
The community primarily has criticisms that creativity and uniqueness will disappear with this change, as people can have the same names as long as the #-TAG differs.
Also, the free name change meets with backlash, as it is only available once a year and otherwise costs €10. Previously, it could be paid with blue essences. For streamers who are regularly stream sniped, this results in additional annual costs.
Also, the explanation with the lore doesn’t seem very plausible, and hardly any comment says anything positive about the change. What do you think about the change? Do you not care or do you find it as bad as the majority of the community? Let us know in the comments.
This is not the first time that Riot has faced significant backlash against changes this year:
Sylvester Stallone notices in the sci-fi movie Demolition Man that the toilet paper has run out and informs his colleagues. However, he receives only mocking glances and laughter in response, as three shells in the bathroom serve as a substitute for toilet paper. One of the writers now reveals where the idea for the three shells came from.
What kind of movie is Demolition Man?
Demolition Man premiered on December 2, 1993, in German cinemas and is set in the year 2032.
Sylvester Stallone takes on the role of John Spartan, who must serve a prison sentence in cryosleep. He awakens some years later in the future in San Angeles.
In the future, there is no pollution, unemployment, flesh food, physical closeness, or crime.
The screenwriters wanted the setting to feel as futuristic as possible. Therefore, co-writer Daniel Waters thought about what eco-friendly toilet paper of the future might look like.
In one scene, we actually see Spartan coming out of the bathroom. He informs Lenina Huxley (played by Sandra Bullock) that the toilet paper has run out, and there are only three shells on a shelf instead.
The reaction to this is devastating: Spartan is laughed at, and the participants joke that Spartan does not know how to use the shells. But Waters has now explained where the idea for the shells even came from.
You can watch the mentioned scene in a video on the YouTube channel of user BadfishKoo:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdnuOa7tDco
Author of Demolition Man reveals where the three shells come from
Where does the idea come from? Waters was looking for something that would serve as toilet paper of the future. When he asked his screenwriting colleague Larry Karaszewski for advice, he happened to be in a “meeting” on the toilet at the time.
Waters wanted Karaszewski to look around and give him an idea for an object he could use as toilet paper in the film. Karaszewski then spotted three shells that served as decoration in his bathroom.
The conversation between the two can be seen on Twitter/X:

Waters liked the idea so much that he incorporated the shells as a substitute for toilet paper in the film. That’s why people in the future wipe their butts with shells now. How exactly the cleaning function is supposed to work has not been clarified to this day.
The only one who provided a possible explanation is actress Sandra Bullock. She explained that the shells replace a bidet:
There is number one, number two, and then the cleaning.
Number one and number two presumably refer to urination and defecation, while the third shell is meant for cleaning. As if that statement were not confusing enough, she added that the shells can be used like maracas as musical instruments.
By the way, it is not made clear in the film whether Spartan ever found out how to use the shells.
A petition is supposed to change how Minecraft is developed. Every year, fans are stirred against each other – and that is not good for the game, supporters say.
In Minecraft, it is actually a time of joy. The annual “Mob Vote” allows players to vote on which creature should be added to Minecraft next. However, the voting on penguins, armadillos, and crabs faced criticism even before it began. Even after the victory of the armadillo, there is still no peace. Now it has become even clearer:
More than 500,000 Minecraft fans have joined a petition to end the annual “Mob Vote.”
We explain more about the original developer of Minecraft here:

The Story of Notch – The Man Who Invented Minecraft
What is the problem? In the annual survey, Minecraft wants to know which of three ideas will be added to the game. It always concerns 3 creatures, one of which will then be encountered in Minecraft.
The catch is: The two ideas that do not win are completely discarded.
This bothers many fans. Because when the developers present three well-thought-out ideas that all sound good, but only one is implemented because of a survey, there will only be one third of all great ideas in the game.
What does the petition aim to achieve? The aim is to ensure that the Mob Vote does not take place in future years. Instead, all three ideas should simply be implemented and added to the game. According to the petition, it states (translated):
The Mob Vote generates attention by tearing the community apart, with fantastic ideas being cut out and content hinted at that will then never be seen in the game. (…)
Many have expressed their dissatisfaction with the voting in the past, while fan favorites like the Moobloom did not make it into the game, and content creators mobilize their fans to vote for the least popular option just to annoy everyone else. This shows that the Mob Vote is fundamentally wrong.”
The clear opinion behind it: The vote is not good. When Minecraft announces content, such as new mobs, all of them should also be brought into the game.
So far, over 500,000 fans have signed the petition on change.org – and that is just 10 days after the start.
Less content from year to year: Also part of the petition is the observation that Minecraft is releasing less and less new content per year, even though this is now happening with the help of Microsoft. Currently, there is only roughly one new patch per year (sometimes less) and smaller hotfixes. New content takes a long time to arrive. It is even more frustrating when great ideas are presented but never implemented.
Especially absurd is the fact that modders often manage to program the announced mobs themselves and introduce them into Minecraft within a few days. This causes even more resentment – because if fans can do that in just a few days, the developers of the game should also be able to bring in 3 instead of just one new creature in a year.

MeinMMO gives you an overview of all new online games coming out in 2023 that are relevant to us. This includes co-op games, MMOs, and MMORPGs. It does not matter whether these games are being released for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, or Switch.
Which games do you find on the list? Only games are listed from developers who have announced the release for 2023. We have also included major expansions that are particularly relevant for MMORPGs.
We last updated the article on October 17th and we removed Super People, which was discontinued.
For this year, only the releases of Fractured (Iso-MMORPG in Early Access) and Odin: Valhalla Rising are still expected.
The long-awaited Throne and Liberty has been postponed to 2024, as has Blue Protocol.

It will also be varied for shooter players. With The Day Before comes a game that strongly resembles Division 2 and wants to impress with its graphics.
Additionally, Super People and Star Wars: Hunters bring two arena shooters that completely differ not only in gameplay but also in platforms. The latter, for example, is only being released for Switch and Mobile.
Lastly, there are two titles, Tom Clancy’s XDefiant and The Division: Heartland, which were also already announced for 2022, but have become rather quiet in recent times.
For survival players, however, the outlook is somewhat bleak. Aside from Nightingale, the focus this year is mainly on The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria and Sons of the Forest, both of which can also be played solo.
The two big highlights of the year for many gamers were probably Diablo 4 and Baldur’s Gate 3.

With Perfect New World, a new MMORPG for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series is coming. At its core, the game is supposed to be a successor to Perfect World, which was released in 2005. The second beta is now officially set to start in November and will bring initial changes compared to May.
What kind of game is this? Perfect New World is a new Asia MMORPG that focuses on action-packed combat. This can take place both on the ground and in the air. A central element will be the ability to fly, which also played an important role in its predecessor.
During character creation, you have the choice of 3 races: Elvens, Mythics, and Humans. The editor is said to be very detailed.
You also have the option of at least 3 classes: Berserker, Mysticsword, and Galeblade.
The game world is said to be completely open and without loading screens. Only instances need to be loaded by you.
The developers promise a large variety of skills and combos to make the combat system exciting and action-packed. You have a total of 14 slots in the skill bar, significantly more than recently in New World or the upcoming Throne and Liberty.
The budget for the game is 300 million Yuan (about 38 million euros).
At the same time, a new gameplay video was released, which we have embedded here for you:

Perfect New World – Everything about the Beta in November
How do you get into the beta test? All you need to do is register on the official website and fill out a questionnaire. In this questionnaire, the developers want to know what platforms and hardware you own and which MMORPGs you prefer to play.
You will also receive an invitation code for your friends, so you can test together right away. However, it is somewhat unclear how this code works, as the test is intended to be limited in the number of players. It has not been promised that all friends will be invited with a common code.
Additionally, you can spin a lucky wheel once a day to increase your chances or even receive access directly.
When does the beta start? So far, it is only indicated that it will take place in November. Registration for the beta ends on November 8 at 5:59 AM German time.
What do we know about the beta? The description states that new, exciting content will be playable in the beta. However, there are no exact details available.
Furthermore, it is stated that the account or access code for the beta may not be shared. This time, however, the note that the test is under an NDA is missing. It is possible that this time there may be streams and videos of Perfect New World.
Additionally, the developers revealed that the progress from the beta will not be carried over to future tests.
What do you think of the MMORPG and the new gameplay trailer? Does Perfect New World appeal to you?
New World released the new expansion Rise of the Angry Earth on Steam on October 3. After about 25 hours of gameplay, MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch is sure: Many changes are really good for newcomers, but he worries about long-term motivation.
Rise of the Angry Earth brought some innovations that players have long wished for. This includes mounts, which now allow players to explore the beautiful game world of Aeternum much faster. An important change to the equipment has also been made, so you no longer have to build specific sets for enemy types, but can focus on perfect gear that works against every enemy type.
In addition, there are the redesign of the area First Light, a new max level, new story content, a new dungeon, and a completely new type of gear, the artifacts. They bring unique bonus effects, making them highly coveted.
However, while especially newcomers and casual players benefit from this, veterans see things differently. They complain about the relatively limited scope of the expansion and the fact that one can now quickly obtain max gear. I can relate, as just after 25 hours I have a complete set with a Gearscore of 700.
The expansion also has to endure some criticism, particularly regarding bugs and missing translations. The queues reminded many of the difficult release phase on Steam.
Who is speaking here? Alex is the MMORPG expert at MeinMMO and a big fan of New World. So far, he has spent around 1,000 hours in the game and is in close contact with many players. Besides New World, you can also find him in Guild Wars 2, ESO, Black Desert, and occasionally in WoW.

Newcomers benefit from a better start and new travel options
Amazon has done a lot in the past 12 months to ensure that newcomers feel comfortable in New World. The main story has been completely revamped from level 1 to level 50: The story campaign now plays faster, includes some voiced elements, and has a more logical plot. Additionally, a few filler quests have been removed.
I praised these adjustments in my preview report in October 2022. Because the quest design was one of the major weaknesses at the launch of the MMORPG. The latest adjustments in the regions Edenhain and Tiefe Schlucht are well done and now contain a better story.
Those who enjoy story content in MMORPGs will now find a lot more to enjoy.
Furthermore, the leveling phase has been shortened overall. Those starting now can reach the new expansion in about 10 to 40 hours – depending on their playstyle. There you can then play directly with the veterans.
The exploration of Aeternum has also been simplified, as more fast travel points have been introduced over time and the costs for them have been massively reduced. Anyone who owns the expansion can also enjoy the new mounts, which are available starting at level 25. They also bring some new tasks into the world, such as the mount races.

New World: Gameplay on the new mounts
Overall, the mounts are one of the highlights of Rise of the Angry Earth.
They feel fluid in control, can jump and sprint. Each mount also gets its own name and has idle animations, which are movements that are executed automatically while stationary.
They feel more like Guild Wars 2 than WoW. You can also decorate the mounts, collect new skins, and give them a name.
The equipment is now much clearer
With the expansion, the leveling system was removed, so you no longer have to level your equipment. This was a very grindy and annoying feature for many, because while you had cool equipment, you could only use it partially.
However, those who currently find good gear can equip it immediately and receive all bonuses. This especially benefits players in the level 50+ range – that is, returners and newcomers.
Moreover, the various perks against specific enemy types have been removed. This system required multiple equipment sets to compete in the endgame. Now one set is sufficient.
If you are not satisfied with the skins, you can change them at any time in a transmutation system:
In addition, there are servers that are packed full. Even during the week, players can again be found in queues on the established servers. According to SteamDB, there have been peaks of over 77,000 people online at the same time since the expansion’s release. Additionally, there have been no fewer than 25,000 players, except during server downtimes.
New players can currently only register on the new servers Felis, Canis, and Delphnius in Europe, which are still relatively empty. Even here, however, on October 17 at 8 a.m., at least 400 players were online.
The entry into New World – especially if you own the expansion – now feels much smoother than it did at the launch of the MMORPG.
But how does it look for a veteran who just wants to play the new expansion?
An entertaining, short story in the expansion
In terms of story, Rise of the Angry Earth is somewhat convincing. You can expect a main storyline in which you can initially undertake rather monotonous, but later very cool tasks.
For instance, you end up in a labyrinth that often leads to dead ends. You have to crawl or jump over walls to find the correct path. Navigation is not entirely easy, but that’s what makes it enticing for me.
Start video
New World: Rise of the Angry Earth – Trailer for the Expansion
Additionally, you can expect three boss fights that take place in their own solo instances. Much is demanded of you, especially in the final battle. If you never dodge or block, you will face a challenge that must be overcome.
In the end, you spend about three hours engaging with the main story.
The luminous colors, along with the many roots and confusing paths give the place a magical yet dangerous feel.
However, the longer I wandered through the zone, the more I yearned for tasks. There seem to be significantly fewer side quests that are ideally already linked with the main story. There are also zones for chest runs and a few bosses to farm for the new artifacts.
While I felt almost lost in the size of the last area Brimstone Sands, after several hours in Elysian Wilds, I no longer had a clear goal.
Furthermore, the area is just a re-skin of First Light. No new area was introduced, but rather the starting area was transformed into an endgame zone. I don’t find that objectionable, but I would have wished for both a re-skin and an additional completely new zone for the 28.99 euros. Guild Wars 2 offers two entirely new areas with Secrets of the Obscure in comparison.
Equipment and long-term motivation
With Rise of the Angry Earth, the max level has been raised to 65, and the gear Gearscore from 625 to 700. Initially, I anticipated a lot of grind with the introduction of these changes but was proven wrong.
At release, players visiting the old 60 dungeons – Garden of Origin, Lazarus’ Instrumentarium, and so on – had a chance to drop legendary gear at level 700. While this was addressed via a hotfix and the maximum Gearscore is now 685, the fact remains that players can quickly acquire strong gear, either from bosses in the new area or indirectly through crafting or the auction house.
This sounds good at first, but it comes with a significant downside. While New World thrived over the past two years primarily by allowing players to build equipment sets over weeks and months, you can now easily have a complete 700 set within 20 hours of gameplay.
There is some fine-tuning and perfecting perks left towards the end, but I miss a certain attachment to the equipment.
This ring, for example, is dropped by Baines, a boss that you can defeat solo in Edenhain.
Until the expansion, I could farm the perfect 600 gear and still upgrade it to level 625. Additionally, there were the shadow shards. While this system was far from perfect, I had a connection to my equipment. I purposely didn’t upgrade transition pieces. I engaged with the topic since I needed multiple sets.
Now I only look at each drop to see if it’s better than my current gear or not. I equip one of both items, and salvage the other. Even though the shard and shadow systems were annoying, I long for a system that forces me to make more adjustments.
Even the new artifacts, which are supposed to provide this feeling, completely miss the mark. Just five hours after the expansion release, I already had four artifacts:
One was randomly dropped (at level 64, by the way, I couldn’t even wear it)
One I got from the season pass
One from a round of PvP
One for completing the main story
Afterward, I quickly farmed the Featherlight armor – which is quite strong – in five boss kills. It is speculated that the drop chance is around 10%, and the boss respawns every 6 minutes.
Thus, after just a few hours of gameplay, I already had a perfect piece of armor and a perfect weapon.
I spoke with several people who previously spent thousands of hours in New World and have already put more than 50 hours into the new expansion. They confirm that the equipment grind is too short.
This sounds nice on paper, but it leads to players quickly lacking goals.
Compounding this is that the mutations in the dungeons currently feel too easy. While in the past you needed equipment for specific mob types, now it’s enough to have 700 gear to breeze through mutation levels 1 and 2. Even in the highest level 3, the perks on equipment play a secondary role. It feels like more players are achieving gold rewards than before the expansion.
The scaling of the new levels is not yet perfect.
One aspect that could bring long-term motivation is PvP. However, aside from the cool influence races in the open world, there hasn’t been a major update. The wars themselves and the outpost sieges still play nearly the same way they did before Rise of the Angry Earth.
Bugs and localization issues
Anyone who played right at release is likely to have stumbled over a few bugs. For instance, initially some players couldn’t complete the main story, there were issues with the quest for the marauders, and players who had purchased 20 levels for the battle pass with real money could not claim them. These issues have since been resolved.
However, it still happens that you don’t mount the mount but get stuck in a middle version of human and mount. While this is not game-breaking, it’s annoying because you have to dismount and remount.
There are also a lot of bugs with the equipment. Sometimes you can’t salvage items when you have the maximum number of spare parts. Since mine are almost always full, I have to constantly run to a storage facility and put items away to make space in my inventory.
For German players, several errors in localization are frustrating. Some missions in the season pass are not translated, some items still have English text, Dark Matter is still called Dark Matter, and even in the game world, you occasionally stumble over lines that have not been adjusted. Here are three examples:
These translation errors are not serious, but it’s still frustrating when you want to present yourself as a AAA MMORPG and compete with the big titles.
New World is now the game it should have been at release
New World finally has a good main story with exciting boss fights, a comprehensible equipment system, and mounts. Together with the new weapons, dungeons, the first raid, the mutations for instances, and the events established over the last two years, the MMORPG is at the point I wished for it at release.
However, with these changes a new problem has arisen: How do I keep players engaged for a long time? And precisely here, a new equipment system was implemented that unfortunately does not provide long-term motivation.
Additionally, there is simply a lack of gameplay content for veterans who have already invested hundreds of hours into New World. Three hours of story, the redesign of one area, one new dungeon, and one new weapon are not enough to cover this. The same applies to PvPers, who basically only received one new feature.
Can I recommend Rise of the Angry Earth to new players? Absolutely! What you get in the bundle for 68.99 euros is an MMORPG at a strong level that feels whole from start to finish. Can I recommend the expansion for returners? Only partially. You will have some fun for a few hours, but I understand anyone who doesn’t want to invest 28.99 euros for that. For me, the expansion clearly lags behind genre competitors when it comes to pure content.

A user recently bought a high-quality lens for their camera for very little money. Because the seller mistook it for a drinking cup. Even the photographer himself stated that he nearly thought the object was a fake.
A photographer recently made the find of a lifetime at his local thrift store. While browsing the electronics department, he was astonished to find a professional camera lens worth €1,500, which the seller offered for a mere €6.
The photographer initially thinks he has a fake in hand
The photographer told the magazine Petapixel that he stumbled upon this find by chance. He regularly browses the thrift shop, but usually, he finds little interesting items.
However, at the end of a visit, he found an unusual item on a rolling cart and initially thought he had picked up a fake.
Because by now, many manufacturers sell drinking cups that look like real Canon lenses. You can purchase such models for €15 on Amazon. But when he examined the lens more closely at the dealer, he had to conclude that it was real:
I had already checked the shelves and was just about to leave when I noticed a staff member pushing a new cart from the back area, filled with all sorts of things. So I went over and looked before he had a chance to take anything from the cart, and I saw a lens that looked like a Canon L-series.
I didn’t get my hopes up immediately since I had seen dozens of these fake Canon lens cups, but then I pulled them out from under the heap of donations and discovered that it was indeed a lens from the 50mm f/1.2 L-series.
On Amazon, you pay around €1,500 for the original “Canon EF 50mm F1.2L USM”. The L-series represents the high-end models of the Canon manufacturer.
However, the surprise was that the small lens was offered at the dealer for just $6.99. The photographer bought the lens and rushed home with it.
Once home, he took a closer look at the lens and tested it on a camera. And he had to find out that it was fully functional and in impeccable condition.
What is critical about the whole situation? The secondhand seller is the company Goodwill. This is an American nonprofit organization that provides vocational training, job placement services, and other community-based programs for people with disabilities.
From a harsh perspective, the user, with his action, deceived the nonprofit organization out of important donation money that could have supported people. This gives the whole action a bitter aftertaste.
More lucky finds: Such “finds” happen to users from time to time. Just recently, a gamer reported that he purchased a high-end Intel processor for just a few euros. Because the used goods dealer didn’t even know what he had lying under a pile of trash in the cupboard:

Update, October 17 at 09:00 AM: It is confirmed: the Prime Gaming Pack is back for EA FC 24 and is now available. How you can get the content is detailed further down in this post.
The first pack includes:
Loan player Haaland (8 matches)

What are the rewards? In previous years, players could always pick up a so-called “Prime Gaming Pack” every month. The content included random cards, player choices, and various loan items.
Will there be a Prime Gaming Pack for EA FC 24 again? It is officially confirmed that there will be monthly Prime Gaming Packs in the FIFA successor EA Sports FC 24. However, there are signs that suggest otherwise.
In the game, you constantly see advertisements from Amazon, which indirectly confirms an ongoing cooperation between EA and Amazon. Additionally, the last Prime Gaming Pack 12 for FIFA 23 ends on October 16, so it would be time for a new one soon.
As soon as there are official information about the first Prime Gaming Pack in EA FC 24, you will find it here on MeinMMO.
When will the first Prime Gaming Pack in EA FC 24 come? Whether and when a Prime Gaming Pack will appear in EA FC 24, we cannot say with certainty yet. However, October 16, 2023 would be a plausible date as the last free pack of FIFA 23 ends there.

The next update of World of Warcraft is coming earlier than expected. It will be available at the beginning of November.
It’s currently a bit boring in World of Warcraft. Even though Blizzard is releasing new patches relatively quickly, the second season is “relatively stale.” Most players have already obtained their optimal gear and are waiting for the story and item progression to continue.
Blizzard has now revealed the release date for the next update. In just 3 weeks, it will continue.
When is the release of Patch 10.2? Blizzard has announced the release date for Patch 10.2 “Guardians of the Dream.” The patch will launch on November 8, 2023, in Europe. Due to the different maintenance schedules, the patch will go live on US realms a few hours earlier, on November 7.

World of Warcraft – Devs Give a First Look at Guardians of the Dream PTR
What’s in Patch 10.2? The centerpiece of the new patch is the journey into the Emerald Dream. The new world tree Amirdrassil is nourished by the energies of the dream and is slowly being prepared for the transition to Azeroth. However, the forces of Fyrakk, the Druids of the Flame, and the Elementals of the Firelands are attacking the Emerald Dream, trying to burn the new world tree to harness its power.
The highlights of the patch include:
New raid “Amirdrassil” with Fyrakk as the final boss
New glory faction “Guardians of the Dream”
New outdoor zone, the Emerald Dream
Of course, there will also be the usual content, such as a new season, fresh tier sets, and minor revisions to several classes, such as rogues or demon hunters.
Is there anything after that? Apparently, Patch 10.2 will be the last “major” patch of Dragonflight, as it introduces an item that is only ever available in the last raid tier. However, the developers have revealed that more story will be told afterward, presumably in smaller patches. It is also likely that there will be a “Season 4,” where all raids become relevant again – just as it was the case with Shadowlands.
