CoD MW3: Streamers and professionals believe in a successful comeback of the shooter series, are looking forward to the release

Dariusz Müller 5. October 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

On November 10, a new installment of the popular shooter series will be added with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 while simultaneous updates are released for Warzone. Many fans are accordingly excited about the release – some content creators even speak of the return of the series.

What are the streamers saying? On Twitter/ X.com, some streamers and professionals have expressed their excitement about the upcoming CoD title Modern Warfare 3. They are looking forward to the release and believe the shooter is finally “back.”

FaZe Swagg, Content Creator: “We are back (via Twitter)!”
Octane, e-sports player: “MW3 looks good (via Twitter).”
OpTic Shotzzy, e-sports player: “CoD is back (via Twitter).”
FaZe Santana, Content Creator: “I’ll see you tomorrow for gameplay, I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been talking about. WE. DESERVE. THIS (via Twitter).”
OpTic Teep, former pro/ Content Creator: “I need to dive in more tomorrow, but the vibe is much better this year (via Twitter).”

Why are the streamers talking about MW3 now? On today, October 5, there will be a first preview of the multiplayer of Modern Warfare 3 and a look ahead to Warzone as part of the “CoD Next” event.

CoD Next will be streamed live on YouTube and Twitch.

Additionally, on October 6, the open beta of MW3 for PlayStation pre-orders starts. On October 8, the doors will open for all PlayStation players, which will close again on the 10th. For other platforms, a crossplay beta will be playable from the 12th (for pre-orders) or the 14th of October, ending again on the 16th.

In a good position despite difficult phase

What is the state of CoD before the MW3 release? Call of Duty is one of the most popular shooter franchises of all time, but with the 2022 releases of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 (now only “Warzone”), the game series has also faced criticism.

Just a few months after release, in January 2023, various content creators said that Warzone was already dead and even regular players complained that the Battle Royale was boring.

Overall, the CoD community currently seems to be rather in a waiting position. MW2 and Warzone are running along, but there hasn’t been a major influx of new or returning players, or anything resembling hype as of late.

Nevertheless, CoD has a solid player base and was among the 5 most popular PvP shooters on Steam in August 2023. However, CoD has an advantage over other competitors due to the combined display of player numbers of MW2 and Warzone, but is still significantly inferior to games like Apex Legends, PUBG, and CS2.

MontanaBlack complains about the prize he does not win and about the “leftist” Twitch regarding HandofBlood

Schuhmann 5. October 2023 Reading time 4 minutes

The German streamer MontanaBlack criticizes the jury of an award for content creators in Germany and complains about parts of the German Twitch scene. Among other things, he attacks the YouTuber HandofBlood.

What award is it about?

Since 2013, the event “VideoDays” has been held, where awards are given to German content creators. In 2013, among others, Y-Titty (Comedy), LeFloid (Information), and Flying Uwe (Sports) won.
In 2023, the event took place on September 27 at the Palladium in the Cologne district of Mülheim.
Winners included Jasmin Gnu (Gaming), Papaplatte (Streaming), and 7 vs. Wild (Longform).

Technical problems plagued award ceremony in Cologne

This was the general criticism of the award ceremony: Following the “VideoDays Award Gala” on September 27, 2023, there was some criticism against the VideoDays Awards. Content creators like Kyzer (via youtube) or ELoTRiX (via youtube) commented on the event:

There was criticism that the categories and the nominated candidates seemed arbitrarily chosen and were partly nonsensical: For instance, the format “7 vs. Wild” and the opinion blogger Alicia Joe were nominated in the Longform category, two different offerings that are not comparable.
Furthermore, it was allegedly reported that the organizers omitted the “Sports” category. It seemed as if the category had simply been “forgotten”.
Above all, the poor technical quality of the stream was criticized: Streaming winner Papaplatte was connected, but there was no sound.

The awards suffered from some technical problems.

MontanaBlack criticizes the selection of nominees

Why was MontanaBlack so upset? In a Twitch stream, MontanaBlack was particularly annoyed about the selection of nominees. He could not understand why the streamer Shurjoka was nominated for the award in Gaming. Shurjoka had no place in this category.

According to MontanaBlack, this nomination shows that the selection of nominees is about connections and sympathy within a scene, not about performance:

I’m just going to say it, I don’t care if I get canceled for this or if I get a shitstorm on Twitter. These are all the do-gooders, this whole left bubble, all the hypocrites, all the bastards. I have to say it: Those in the jury who choose a Shurjoka because “Oh yes, we stick together and blah women” – that has nothing to do with reason anymore. It’s just disgusting as fuck and should be forbidden. Shurjoka has no place in the category. None.

That Shurjoka is among the nominees shows how “left-soaked” the whole scene has become. It just disgusts him.

As part of a “left bubble” that he despises, MontanaBlack sees the content creators Shurjoka, Freiraumreh, Rob Bubble, and HandofBlood.

MontanaBlack sees himself as “the most relevant person in Germany for the last 10 years”

This is what he says about the award: MontanaBlack states that at such an award, it should never be about sympathy, but about what one has achieved on the internet. In his opinion, these are rigged formats:

All these VideoDays Awards and everything that has happened in the last few years has always been shit, and I’ll tell you why: I have never been nominated anywhere. I’m clapping myself on the shoulder now. Okay, you can consider that conceited or not: I’ve never been nominated anywhere, and that shows that something is wrong, dude.

If you’ve been the most relevant person, male, in Germany for 10 years, but have never been nominated anywhere, then you know very well that it’s not judged based on fairness or neutrality, but always based on sympathy.

Are there any awards that MontanaBlack appreciates? Later in the Twitch stream, MontanaBlack praises the “Stream Awards,” which were awarded in January 2023 by Reved and Amar.

MontanaBlack hopes that the award continues to grow and gain relevance. However, that is independent of whether he has won the award twice or not: Uncle Monte has played through everything that can be played through. The trophies he won are sitting in his grandparents’ display case. They would have been happy.

How are things in the USA? MontanaBlack praises how awards are presented in the USA. He seems to refer to the “Streamer Awards” by QTCinderella. There, in 2023, streamers who can be assigned to various camps won:

For example, Hasanabi won in the “Best Just Chatting” category, and OfflineTV at “Best Content Organization.
But streamers like Asmongold, Tyler1, or xQc also won.

Though in the USA in 2022, there was also criticism of this format, as YouTube streamers like Valkyrae, Corpse Husband, or Sykkuno were not recognized.

German Computer Game Award Player of the Year 2022 HandofBlood nominated_header — HandOfBlood.

What problem does MontanaBlack have with HandofBlood? MontanaBlack sees HandofBlood as part of a “left-soaked do-gooders bubble” on Twitch, which would criticize him on Twitter, but has remained silent about the misconduct of Shurjoka towards Scurrows .

https://twitter.com/HandOfBlood/status/1309051521414426624

What exactly he has against HandofBlood, MontanaBlack does not specify.

However, a tweet from HandofBlood in 2020 about the Malta trip of MontanaBlack, led to a one-month ban for MontanaBlack.

In the Twitch stream, MontanaBlack says:

I’m so glad to be me. And I’m so glad to say in my stream, with a good feeling: Fuck you all. I’m so glad to be something special, not to swim with the masses. And the cool thing is: You will never achieve what I achieve. Fuck you all.

In doing so, the streamer held up 2 middle fingers to the camera. We have included a snapshot of this as the title image.

What do people say in the comments? In the YouTube video that shows the clip from the Twitch stream, MontanaBlack is praised for his statements. He expresses “clearly what everyone thinks.”

Only a few people criticize that it is unclear why he has something against HandofBlood. He doesn’t deserve to be dragged into this issue.

„It looks so bad“ – New skin bundle „Gaias Vengeance“ in Valorant causes excitement

Sarah 5. October 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

After more than a year of waiting, Riot Games has finally released the new skin bundle Gaias Vengeance 2.0 in Valorant. However, the community has reacted divided to the skins, and MeinMMO now tells you how these reactions are unfolding.

What does the new bundle include? The original “Valorant Gaia’s Vengeance” collection was released in March 2022 and quickly became popular in the Valorant community. The designs of the skins sparked the desire for a sequel, which has now been fulfilled.

Under the name “Gaias Rache” the new skins are finally available in the shop. The price of 7,100 Valorant Points (VP) means that each individual skin costs 1,775 VP and the knife 3,350 VP. The bundle corresponds to a value of about 75 US Dollars.

Here you can find a Valorant trailer for another skin bundle:

Included in the set are:

Bucky (1,775 VP)
Shorty (1,775 VP)
Phantom (1,775 VP)
Ares (1,775 VP)
Knife (3,550 VP / free in bundle)
Graffiti “Gaias Rache, Ep. 7” (325 VP / free in bundle)
Banner “Gaias Rache, Ep. 7” (375 VP / free in bundle)
Talisman “Gaias Rache, Ep. 7” (475 VP / free in bundle)

Streamers complain about recycling old skins

How are the streamers reacting? Despite the long wait, the reactions in the Valorant community are divided. Many players have eagerly awaited this bundle and are ready to spend their money immediately. But not everyone shares this enthusiasm.

The Twitch streamer and TikToker “JessydeLua” expressed her disappointment in her latest TikTok video that the knife skin includes the axe. She would have preferred the skin without the axe and regrets that Riot Games opted for the reuse of the old design. She said she expected more from this set.

Similarly, the streamer and TikToker “Attix” expressed disappointment over the exact recycling of the skin and would have preferred a karambit design with a handle made from a root and a crystal blade. Attix repeatedly emphasized in his videos how poorly the skins look in his opinion and that he does not like them at all.

Both also expressed their disappointment that the bundle does not include skins for the weapons Sheriff, Operator, or Odin.

What do the viewers say? The divided opinions continue in the comments under the TikTok videos of the streamers.

Some users particularly praise the skins for the Phantom and the Shorty and are excited about their designs.

Nevertheless, there are numerous comments that share the views of the streamers. One user refers to the bundle as “the biggest disappointment ever” and had hoped for more from a new knife skin.

Another user finds the bundle “very boring” and has the impression that Riot Games put little effort into the implementation by simply transferring the Gaia skin onto other weapons.

The Valorant community is thus divided between those who love the new skins and those who wished for more innovation and creativity.

Players in Baldur’s Gate 3 make a fortune by hoarding piles of crates

Fabienne Kissel 5. October 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Players in Baldur’s Gate 3 find an unusual way to collect gold. They hoard piles of crates to sell them. MeinMMO reveals what it’s all about.

This is why players become crate traders: There are many ways to make a name for yourself in the world of Baldur’s Gate 3: as a powerful wizard, or perhaps as a skilled swordsman or cunning thief. But player Stompingchicken tells of his roommate and his brother, for whom there is only one right way in Faerûn – they have become crate traders and are thus collecting heaps of gold.

This video gives you helpful tips on how to reduce your carrying capacity:

The Crate Kings of Baldur’s Gate 3

What does it look like? The two players explored Faerûn and stumbled upon a remarkable discovery: crates, containers, and vases, scattered everywhere, some filled with precious contents. And the best part? Each of these crates was a little treasure of gold in itself. Because they discovered that each crate or similar was worth some gold coins.

Immediately, the two began to build an impressive collection of crates. Every single container they found, they sent to the storage according to Stompingchicken (via Reddit). They became true crate hunters, searching every corner of Faerûn for crates and thus living out their role-playing.

Or as player quentariusqincy (via Reddit) emphasizes: D&D players with a lenient game master living their best role-playing life are like this.

Here you can see the Reddit post. They collected 4710 crates (possibly including more items) and achieved a value of 200,636 gold:

But that’s not all. The two players managed to take the business to the next level. They became real crate traders, bargaining with every NPC they met and selling the crates. Their motto? Screw the parasite, we will be crate traders.

Stompingchicken emphasizes how proud he is of the two.

For the two, it was a true gold rush. Every NPC that struck a crate deal with them became a part of their success story.

Patrick Stewart admits he was a “strict” bastard during the filming of Star Trek

Fabienne Kissel 5. October 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Actor Patrick Stewart reveals that he was not always the nicest colleague during his time filming Star Trek: The Next Generation. MeinMMO reveals what lies behind it.

Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG) is one of the most well-known sci-fi series and aired nearly 30 years ago. TNG is a continuation of the original Star Trek series from the 1960s and became a huge success. The series helped launch actors into fame, including Patrick Stewart, who took on the role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard, the commander of the starship USS Enterprise.

However, Patrick Stewart was not always a sweetheart to his colleagues during filming, as he now admits in his autobiography Making It So: A Memoir.

Patrick Stewart could be a strict bastard

What exactly does the actor admit? In an exclusive excerpt from his new autobiography Making It So: A Memoir, the British actor provides insight into the turbulent beginnings of the series and reveals why he stormed off the set during the first season of TNG.

The true challenge for Stewart was to maintain the seriousness of the role while his co-stars like Jonathan Frakes (Riker), Denise Crosby (Tasha Yar), and Brent Spiner (Mr. Data) were goofing around and improvising on set.

For serious actor Stewart, this was a thorn in his side. He admitted in an exclusive excerpt published by The Hollywood Reporter: I could be a severe bastard. His experiences at the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre had shaped him, and he was determined to approach the series seriously.

He also writes:

My experiences at the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre were intense and serious […] At the TNG set, I became angry about my colleagues’ behavior, and then I called the meeting in which I lectured the cast for being silly and responded to Denise Crosby’s comment We need to have fun too, Patrick with the words: We are not here, Denise, to have fun.
Patrick Stewart via Hollywood Reporter

What was the reaction of his co-stars? A hearty laugh, which delighted Stewart nothing but displeased him. He stormed angrily off the set into his trailer and slammed the door. He admits: I did not handle it well. Fortunately, Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiner came to him to defuse the situation and talk with him.

He recounts that Spiner and Frakes made it clear to him how uncomfortable it was and that it would not be a good example of effective leadership to lecture and scold the cast, even if there was too much goofing off.

He writes about this:

I had failed to properly gauge the dynamics on set and tried to impose behaviors of the Royal Shakespeare Company onto people who were familiar with the workings of episodic television productions – after all, that is exactly what we were filming.
Patrick Stewart via Hollywood Reporter

Stewart writes that the story is humorous in hindsight, but at that moment, he was far from amused. He had been nervous at the beginning about taking on the role of the Star Trek captain. The series was viewed skeptically by industry insiders, and the pressure to meet expectations was high.

New World doubles its player count on Steam with a new expansion, but there was more to it

Alexander Leitsch 5. October 2023 Reading time 5 minutes

On October 3, the new expansion Rise of the Angry Earth for New World was released. Such a launch should ideally cause player numbers to explode. However, MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch finds the success to be modest. He even expected a weak start.

55,429 players were online in New World on October 4 (via SteamDB). This is the best figure in 2023, and the numbers from August were more than doubled. On the weakest day, only 18,173 players were online in Aeternum.

The figure will likely go up a bit over the weekend, but one is far from old records. I’m not only talking about the launch with over 910,000 concurrent players, but also about the big update in combination with the Fresh Start in October/November 2022. Back then, the game had over 137,000 users and was able to record over 100,000 players daily for more than two weeks.

However, I’m not surprised by the lack of hype. Amazon made three mistakes right away.

Who is speaking here? Alex is the MMORPG expert at MeinMMO and has tried many dozens of games. He has spent over 1,000 hours in New World and has already played the new expansion for a few hours. Besides New World, he is particularly excited about Guild Wars 2, Black Desert, ESO, and SWTOR.

No marketing, confusion during pre-sale, and the usual problems

The first major problem is the lack of marketing. While there was an event in August where invited guests could test the expansion, several blog posts and videos were published afterward. However, many MMORPG players who do not regularly visit the New World website missed this.

For example, there were several people in the Discord for my podcast MMO News who were surprised that New World is hardly present in media or advertising. Without us, they stated, they would not have noticed the launch.

An event around Twitch streamers was only half-heartedly organized this time, and the numbers on the platform are also lower. With the exception of Shroud, there is no really big name participating in the event.

Finally, a sale completely came out of nowhere at the start of the new expansion. The base game was discounted there. However, this should have happened much earlier with the announcement in August, allowing people to try the game for €15 and then decide if they wanted to invest more money in October. Here, a great opportunity was missed, and it seems more like a small panic move due to the lack of hype.

Autoplay

Problem number two was the great confusion surrounding the sale of the expansion. Players could not simply purchase Rise of the Angry Earth in advance on Steam or order it on another platform. The purchase was only possible on the day of release.

Even now, you can only get the expansion on Steam or Amazon itself. Third-party providers often don’t even have a note or a landing page for Rise of the Angry Earth.

You almost get the feeling that Amazon wanted to keep the expansion a bit smaller, perhaps to avoid the old queue problems.

At the start of the expansion, players sometimes had to wait hours to enter their own server. An hour after release, I had to queue for about 4 hours on the German server Aaru before I could even touch the new content.

The whole queue and server problem is my criticism number three.

The developers opened only one server for new players – Hercules. Since new accounts are not allowed to create a character elsewhere, it seems Amazon didn’t expect a large influx.

New World: Everything about the expansion Rise of the Angry Earth – Content, Release, Mounts

„Since I have been here, everything has gotten better“ – New boss has saved New World and will make the MMORPG big for Lord of the Rings

Just under €30 for good but not outstanding content

Besides the problems outside the game, it is also noticeable that the content of Rise of the Angry Earth did not convince many. The new level cap provides a bit of work, the new equipment solves old problems, and the mounts are a long-awaited feature.

But otherwise?

The new area Elysian Wilds is just a rework of First Light. Brand new areas are therefore not included – unlike the Fresh Start in October, where players got the Sulfur Sand Desert.

A new dungeon, a new weapon, and a few quests were added to the game for free since release. This isn’t much of an incentive for new players either.

Rise of the Angry Earth caters to the veterans who are willing to pay €28.99 for it. Personally, I enjoy the content, look forward to the new gear, and the adjusted mutations.

However, returnees who are currently doubting whether New World is the right MMORPG for them will wait skeptically at first. New players, on the other hand, will hardly be attracted by the expansion – they would have to pay around €70 to acquire the base game and the expansion.

Is Rise of the Angry Earth bad because of this? Absolutely not, I find the price of €28.99 completely reasonable, especially considering how much content has come for free in the meantime and how fair the shop of New World is.

But the numbers around the expansion are sobering. Amazon will not be satisfied with this, even though in my opinion, they are to blame for the lack of hype.

If you are still considering returning to New World, here’s what has changed in the past two years and up to the expansion:

I also have some concerns, because the New World team is also supposed to work on the upcoming Lord of the Rings MMORPG. So it is rather unlikely that the game will receive more content in the coming years. A large renaissance for New World will therefore become increasingly difficult.

Crafters are dumbfounded: User is too lazy to unpack his new SSD, just hangs it in his gaming PC

Martin Vollert 5. October 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

A user on Reddit shows how to install an SSD into a computer with minimal effort. The SSD dangles unopened in its original packaging from the case. Is this just lazy or simply genius?

Reddit users are known for their creative ideas. Therefore, it is hardly surprising how some users have installed their PC hardware. In the following post, a user simply leaves the SSD in its packaging and hangs it in his case.

This is certainly not the best method to utilize expensive hardware. But necessity is known to make one inventive. Moreover, we will tell you how the installation could have been done better.

On Reddit, the user navigam shared a photo of another user’s computer. What’s special about it is the way the SSD is installed in the gaming PC.

Why is the installation method so extraordinary? Normally, you unbox new hardware and then place it at the appropriate spot in the computer. The components are then secured with appropriate screws. However, in this case, the owner did not take the storage device out of its original packaging.

How was the SSD then secured? Because the DIY enthusiast could not screw the SSD drive down, he secured it still in its packaging with a common wire cable tie to the cage for larger drives of his PC case. It now hangs there visibly, but it is anything but securely mounted.

How could he connect the necessary cables? To connect the SSD to the PC, he simply cut out a small piece from the blister packaging at the position of the ports and connected the data and power cables.

In this post, a Reddit user used a half pencil instead of packaging material to support his $500 graphics card.

Is such operation safe? It is definitely not advisable to operate an SSD in this manner permanently. This type of drive is known to generate only a little operational heat and be relatively shock-resistant. However, other components in the system, such as the processor or the graphics card, can become very hot during operation and negatively affect the SSD’s packaging. This could deform or, in the worst-case scenario, even catch fire.

If the connection cables were not properly plugged in, it could also happen that they come loose during operation. Data loss would be the result. If he had simply placed the hard drive on the bottom of the case or affixed it with double-sided tape at a suitable spot on the case, it would have definitely been safer. However, this method is not optimal either.

What else did the community discover in the PC? If the dangling SSD wasn’t enough, observant community members also have the graphics card in their sights. This is being protected from sagging by a small packaging for spark plugs in front of it.

Old PC cases don’t know SSD drives

Could the owner have installed the SSD in a normal way? No, the picture shows that the PC case only has space for DVD drives with the standard size of 5.25 inches. Directly below, hard drives with the standard size of 3.5 inches can still be installed.

However, his SSD has a size of 2.5 inches. Moreover, smaller screws are required for SSD drives of this size than for hard drives. Therefore, a correct installation would not be possible without additional accessories. The first SSDs as we know them today came onto the consumer market over 10 years ago. Even then, aspiring PC users faced different drive sizes and unsuitable space offers in computers.

What solutions are there for this? Manufacturers of PC accessories quickly recognized the problem and brought suitable adapter rails and frames to the market. The SSD is screwed into these, and the adapter/frame is then installed into a larger drive cage for DVD drives or hard drives. In newer cases, installing SSD drives is no longer a problem. Manufacturers facilitate mounting at different locations in their cases.

How is it in your PCs? Have you ever had to improvise when installing components?

LoL: A pro fought for 10 years for the world championship title – Riot now honors his victory

Niko Hernes 5. October 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

In League of Legends, the victory of the Worlds is a dream for many professional players, for which they give everything, but may never achieve. Included among these players is Deft, who has fought for such a victory his entire life. In 2022, he achieved this dream, and in the latest Worlds video, he is honored for it.

Who is Deft?

A Korean professional player who began playing in the professional scene at the age of 16 in 2013
Has participated in the Worlds 7 times
Was considered one of the best players in the world but never won the Worlds
At the last Worlds in 2022, he finally achieved his dream and won the world championship title

He has been playing LoL at a professional level for 10 years and finally achieved the highest victory one can achieve in LoL last year. But that’s not all. In the latest video about the Worlds, Deft receives a special honor.

You can watch the music video for the Worlds 2023 here:

One of the best players who seemed unable to win the Worlds

Kim Hyuk-kyu began his professional career as Deft at the age of 16 in 2013. He played his first Worlds in 2014 with the team Samsung Blue. He was already considered an extremely good player, causing incredible damage. (via. Leaguepedia)

In 2014, Deft and his team were considered the second-best team in the tournament. Unfortunately, they lost in the semifinals against the even better Samsung White. The following years were not looking good either. He lost in the Worlds 5 more times, even though he was regarded as one of the best players.

Consequently, he had the reputation of being a great player who just couldn’t manage to win the biggest title. But that changed in 2022. He played in the team DRX, whose Worlds roster consisted of players who had been discarded. They were not seen as favorites, and DRX first had to qualify as the last Korean team for the Main Stage.

And they succeeded and won decisively against the other teams. In the finals, they had to face the cult team T1, and in a close 3 to 2, DRX managed to win the match and thus became world champions in 2022. And Deft finally achieved his dream after 10 years.

MMORPG players need 5 months and almost 900 attempts to defeat a raid boss

Alexander Leitsch 5. October 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

The indie MMORPG Broken Ranks celebrated its release in 2022 and has been continuously developed since then. In April 2023, the new boss Sidraga was introduced to the game. It took until September for the first group to defeat the Winged Lady.

What kind of boss was it? Sidraga was part of a new endgame instance designed for players level 135+. Just reaching there takes months of grinding. The instance was released on April 4, 2023. However, a lot of time passed before the final kill.

It took the first group 7 days just to solve the first puzzle and reach the dungeon. The first boss was only defeated on June 8, and from then it took another three months until on September 9, the same five players achieved the World First. They were:

DAAISSY
DUFFYY
KALIŚ
LUJFAJA
LUNGO

All of them were at level 140, the current max level of the MMORPG. They alone needed 890 attempts for the kill. An attempt took on average 46 minutes. All of this can be seen from a graphic that the developers have now created in honor of the players (via Broken Ranks).

You can watch the final kill in this video:

It is played in isometric perspective, similar to Lost Ark, but the game world is 2.5D and feels more like a painting with little visible depth.

The major feature is the turn-based combat system. Whenever you encounter a monster in the open world, you will be taken to a separate combat screen. There, you can choose your abilities and the type of your defense within 10 seconds, to which you can assign action points.

On October 17, Season 2 of Diablo 4 will be released, and Blizzard is implementing drastic changes to ensure a better gaming experience. MeinMMO reveals the most important improvements.

The first season of Diablo 4 is coming to an end and has faced a lot of criticism. Soon, a new season will begin. Diablo 4 Season 2 will be released on October 17 with numerous adjustments for a better gaming experience, many of which are based on player feedback.

Some improvements will address endgame, leveling, and changes to the inventory system. The developers announced in a livestream that with the Season of Blood the grind will be minimized, among other things.

We have summarized the most important quality of life changes for you.

What exactly are these changes? One of the biggest innovations in Season 2 is as follows: After successfully completing the prologue of the main game, the option to skip the entire campaign with your season character opens up.

There are several other important changes, including:

You will level up about 40% faster to level 100 compared to Season of the Malignant.
Five new and returning endgame bosses will be introduced, each dropping unique items. According to Blizzard (via GamesRadar), the drop chance is said to be much higher.
Improvements to the Nightmare Dungeons. In Season 2, you can now teleport directly to the dungeons instead of going to the outside entrance.
Monster density will be increased, and NPC companions will be more resilient.
Gems will no longer clutter the inventory. They now count as crafting materials.
A search and filter option will be added for the loot chest. Items can be marked as favorites to avoid accidentally selling them. Additionally, there will be loot chests in extra locations.
Mounts have also been improved. They will be faster and have a shorter cooldown. They can also break through obstacles and get stuck less often.
Renown is now tied to your account. Your season character will start with additional potions, Paragon and skill points, and a higher cap for whispering oboluses.
In Season 2, there will be protection against disconnect deaths. If you lose connection during a fight, a teleport scroll will be used automatically, allowing you to land in a safe place.

Starfield: Player discovers black hole in his ship and is now afraid to remodel it

Dariusz Müller 5. October 2023 Reading time < 1 minutes

A player has discovered a black hole in their ship in Starfield, through which they can even reach another location.

What is the black hole all about? A Starfield player named “markiethefett” shared a video on Reddit showing a black hole that he discovered in the floor of his spaceship.

In the video, markiethefett first throws some barrels into the hole, which simply disappear. Then he jumps in himself and lands in a different area of his spaceship.

Why is there a black hole in the ship? The black hole seems to be a bug.

At the location of the hole, there should probably be a ladder or something similar leading to a lower deck, but instead of the ladder or a hatch, there is only a completely black opening that does not reveal where it leads.

Others saw in the video a missed opportunity to splice the Skyrim intro after jumping into the hole. Generally, players found the bug more amusing than annoying.

Destiny 2 players now receive hate messages when using a weapon type: “Honor never existed and will never exist”

Britta ♤ BeAngel 5. October 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

In the world of Destiny 2, controversial discussions and heated debates among players are not uncommon. However, recently there has been a worrying development that has thrown the Destiny community into turmoil. Hate messages and negative comments are on the rise once again. We will tell you what is making players so angry and why.

This is currently driving Destiny 2 players up the wall: The weapon meta in Destiny 2 is a constant balancing act and is currently the trigger for the latest controversy in Bungie’s loot shooter.

What is currently driving the Guardians up the wall is simply the use of the fusion rifle weapon class.

Recently, some improvements were made to fusion rifles in Destiny 2 that are supposed to make them more effective in combat against other weapon types.
The changes have led players of this weapon class to pay more attention and use them more actively in the Crucible.

However, some do not like this at all, and they emphasize this with vile hate messages. The Guardian Rheytos denounced this hate via Reddit and reported how often he has been attacked lately just for using his arc fusion rifle “Fangfrage”.

Start video

Destiny 2: The game needs new tricks and “The Witness” has them

Autoplay

“The hate against fusion rifles is incredible”

This is what the Guardian reported on Reddit: Rheytos shared his personal experiences with the community to both raise awareness of this unnecessary hate and to find out if others have had similar negative experiences.

He writes:

Today, I received many negative messages again just because I used my fusion rifle [“Fangfrage”]. I know it can be an effective counter against shotguns, but I really don’t understand why people are so upset. I have never experienced such a level of hate when using sniper rifles or shotguns.
the player Rheytos reports via Reddit

Some confirmed his impression and emphasized that the hate is due to fusion rifles being extremely strong against shotguns and other close-combat weapons.

For example, the player d_rek replies: “Because they are seen as a ‘no-skill weapon’ by PvP fanatics. When a tryhard is killed by anything other than a primary weapon or a special weapon that isn’t a shotgun or a sniper rifle, they start to get angry.“

The player TheJeffyJeefAceg also sees it this way and explains: “Their range for a one-hit kill is ridiculous, and they are very easy to use. People who actually try to be skilled in the game hate them because they essentially provide free kills for inexperienced players and it’s very difficult to play against them. They are a crutch for inexperienced players who would admit they couldn’t win otherwise.“

Indeed, fusion rifles have crazy range in PvP for a weapon that requires no precision. They also have a lot of forgiveness, as not all bolts need to hit.

Looking at this in comparison to sniper rifles that require a headshot and are affected by flinching, or shotguns that have a much lower range, fusion rifles are absolutely forgiving, which is likely why they are hated accordingly.

“It’s just the mentality of idiots”

This is why players believe the hate in Destiny 2 will never end: Some players argue that Bungie could restore balance among the weapons in PvP, so that no weapon class would be perceived as too unfair, thus automatically ending the hate.

However, others believe that it would still not change the mentality of players in Destiny 2. Like the player Foggyzebra.

“Whenever you use the meta, you get hate; whenever you use something outside the meta, you get hate. In conclusion: People [in Destiny 2] will always complain and send more hate messages about things that stand out. But trust me, they will also send you hate for normal things.“

And DanielGerous007 adds:

You win and get hate messages, you lose and get hate messages. It’s just the mentality of idiots. I’ve played against streamers who still have this mentality, and it’s embarrassing.

What is your opinion on the hate messages that players receive for using fusion rifles in PvP?

Do you think the criticism is justified or that fusion rifles are simply an effective tactic in the game? And more importantly: Have you experienced hate messages or negative feedback when using unconventional weapons in Destiny 2’s PvP? Then feel free to share your experiences with us in the comments.

17-year-old Twitch streamer receives tempting offer for a bikini commercial

Sarah 5. October 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

The German Twitch streamer Fibi (17) received an offer of €25,000 to promote a summer product. However, she was supposed to wear a bikini for that. Despite the tempting deal, she declined.

Who is Fibi? The young streamer Fibi “xFibii” Pfeiffer (17) has quickly secured a fixed place on the streaming platform Twitch. With a proud 650,000 followers, she is already among the most prominent female streamers in Germany and even managed to secure a spot in the top 10 most-watched female streamers worldwide in August 2022.

With her passion for gaming, she captivates her audience. Especially in games like Valorant, where she has reached the “Ascendant” rank and thus belongs to the top 5% of players in this shooter.

In addition to gaming streams, she also entertains her audience with IRL broadcasts, cooking sessions, and the “Just Chatting” format.

Here you can learn more about the streamer:

What kind of deal is it? Although it’s not uncommon for established content creators to close lucrative advertising deals nowadays, the 17-year-old streamer recently caused a stir by declining a tempting offer.

A company offered her €25,000 to promote a summer product. But Fibi decided against it and made her reasons clear. The catch was that she was supposed to promote the said summer product in a bikini.

Fibi places great value on presenting herself predominantly in appropriate clothing in her content and censoring certain body parts. An example of this was a dance video in which she turned around and censored the lower half of her body as she was wearing tight pants.

The offer to promote a summer product in a bikini therefore came as a surprise to Fibi. But given her previous efforts to present herself respectfully and responsibly, it also clearly contradicted her principles and her previous online behavior.

How did her community react? The reactions from the community to Fibi’s decision to decline the lucrative advertising deal were diverse.

A large part of the community praised her stance as “honorable” and referred to her as a mature and grown personality.

One user on TikTok commented: “For her age, Fibi is really a very mature and grown woman. Declining such a sum shows honor, strength, and respect. Hats off.”

This praise underscored how Fibi’s decision was seen as exemplary by many.

On the other hand, some users humorously considered the situation and jokingly commented that they would have been willing to do unusual things for €25,000. These included comments like “For [€25,000] I would go to school in a Borat suit lmao” or “Would go to school naked for [€25,000].”

Finally, discussions arose around Fibi because she posted a TikTok with Rohat. What it’s about can be read here: Fibi and Rohat argued publicly for months, now fans are guessing about shared videos on TikTok

Police arrests the inventor of the Ubisoft formula and 4 other former executives of the gaming giant

Schuhmann 5. October 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

The French police have arrested 5 former managers of Ubisoft to question them in connection with a sexism scandal. This happens just before the release of Assassin’s Creed Mirage. One of the accused is the former right-hand man of CEO Yves Guillemot: the Chief Creative Serge Hascoët. He is considered not only the inventor of the “Ubisoft formula” but also a key figure in a sexism scandal.

Where does the information come from? The info comes from the French Liberation, which reported about it this afternoon (via liberation). They are talking about the “Ubisoft affair.”

This is the news at a glance:

The arrests for questioning 5 former employees of Ubisoft, including Hascoët and Tommy François, took place on October 3 and 4. The arrests come after police questioned over 50 current and former employees of Ubisoft over the past year. The suspects are in police custody.
At the core is an “institutionalized system of sexual violence” – we reported on the allegations against Ubisoft in July 2020 on MeinMMO. As a result, Ubisoft parted ways with executives like Serge Hascoët, who is regarded as the inventor of the “Ubisoft formula.”
The developments began in the summer of 2021 after a union and 2 victims filed lawsuits: Investigations were conducted by Parisian authorities in cases of moral and sexual harassment.

The new title from Ubisoft, the largest gaming studio in Europe, will launch in a few days:

Start video

Assassin’s Creed Mirage Trailer

Inventor of the Ubisoft formula accused and fired

What was the scandal about back then? US journalist and investigative reporter Jason Schreier reported in July 2020 about scandalous conditions at Ubisoft (via bloomberg).

The allegations focused on Serge Hascoët (58), who oversaw the development of new games at Ubisoft. He is said to have founded and led an inner leadership circle that acted like a boys’ club and behaved indecently, especially towards women.

The Ubisoft formula describes an open world that players gradually conquer by completing missions and defeating mini-bosses. The goal is to find a multitude of collectibles. The Ubisoft formula has been increasingly criticized in recent years as repetitive and lacking innovation.

Conditions similar to those of a fraternity house were said to have prevailed at the time. Hascoët was viewed as “untouchable” and the “golden child,” who could do anything. Schreier reported: Meetings took place in strip clubs, from which women were excluded, and there were pornographic materials on the managers’ computers.

Women were systematically sidelined and discriminated against. When they complained to HR, they reportedly received no assistance.

A lawyer for the plaintiffs is the only one speaking to the press: He says that such behavior has never occurred in his 22 years of professional experience. The police have investigated as thoroughly as never before. A behavior was established at Ubisoft that made it seem as if [sexism] was part of the creative process: It was like a big playground for boys where women were pushed against the wall or to the ground. HR knew all about this.

It should be particularly emphasized that the company worked in complicity with its executives here.

Steam bans account that owns items worth 1.38 million € for Counter-Strike 2

Schuhmann 5. October 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

On the night of October 4th to 5th, Valve banned the Steam account of a trader of valuable skins in Counter-Strike 2 . According to a website, the ban affects the third most valuable account in Counter-Strike 2, with an inventory of skins worth 1.38 million euros.

What kind of ban is this?

The account St4ck received a “community ban” on October 5th at 12:37 AM.
This means that the trader can no longer trade the items from his inventory. They are essentially worthless as long as the account is banned.
It’s somewhat like freezing people’s accounts.

This news spread very quickly in the community.

The release of Counter-Strike 2 has caused prices for skins in the game to rise further:

Counter-Strike 2: Valve once again impresses with the launch trailer

Autoplay

Just a skin for a sniper rifle is worth $410,000

Why is his account worth so much? The player has a well-stocked inventory with rare skins from Counter-Strike 2. The value of his inventory is estimated by the site priceempire at $1.45 million, making it the third most valuable account in the database of the site.

St4ck owns an AWP Dragon Lore in a special edition (Factory New – Souvenir): Alone, the value of this weapon skin is estimated at $410,000.

Additionally, the account includes 5 stickers from the “Katowice 2014 Titan” tournament – each estimated at $91,000. The sticker is considered the most valuable in the history of the game.

Stickers in CS:GO are tied to e-sport teams and tournaments. The tournament “EMS Oee Katowice 2014” took place from March 13 to March 16, 2014.

Value of skins depends on many factors

Why are these skins so valuable? Skins have no objective value, but their value is determined by what people are willing to pay for them. Supply and demand play a role here. These skins are traded like rare stamps. Certain skins are so rare because they are unique or no longer produced. Others are popular simply because they look good.

For stickers, it is said that especially the skins from old tournaments and teams that no longer exist are extremely lucrative.

The Titan (Holo) sticker, Katowice 2014, is valuable because it has a rich, shiny blue color and is now quite old. The “Titan” team did not play a significant role back then and was eliminated in the preliminary round, but their sticker is just so nice-looking.

Skins as exchange objects and investments that increase in price

Prices in Counter-Strike 2 have recently risen again because the release of CS2 has occurred, and speculators believe that the release increases the relevance of the game and its longevity, thereby driving up prices. Record prices for skins have developed remarkably over the past 5 years:

In 2018, we reported on MeinMMO that a weapon sold for $60,000.
Two years ago, the AWP “Dragon Lore” was traded for $150,000.
Now we are already talking about $410,000.

This “positive price development” indicates that many speculators believe Counter-Strike will remain relevant for a long time and that skins continue to be highly sought after.

Why was he banned? It is not clear at the moment. It is suspected that St4ck may have incurred a ban due to comments made in the Steam community.

Therefore, some users believe that the account will be unbanned soon.

Others speculate that there may be fraud allegations that led to the ban, and therefore anticipate a longer-lasting ban.

How is this being commented on? Currently, especially with a lot of schadenfreude. The amount alone is already a source of amusement.

Some hope, however, that the ban will be lifted soon.

Update, 10/8, 11:48 AM: The account has been unbanned by Valve, which sparked another discussion:

This month you can expect the new Season 6 of Battlefield 2042. The trailer shows you why this fits perfectly into the spooky month. Check it out here on MeinMMO.

When is the new season coming? The sixth season of Battlefield 2042 will be released on October 10, 2023. Conveniently for October, it seems to get a bit spooky, as the trailer gives you a little taste of the season.

We have embedded the trailer here for you:

Battlefield Season 6 Trailer

What does the trailer show? The trailer shows you not only a new map but also new opponents that are likely quite formidable.

The location that the trailer takes you to is an old laboratory consisting of a huge dome. Overgrown with plants, it offers you many corners to hide and to make sneaky attacks – as well as for your opponents.

And they are formidable, as the trailer shows you. People who were brought to the laboratory to conduct experiments on them. After something went wrong, they are now deadly and bloodthirsty adversaries, and, as beautifully described in the trailer, the laboratory has turned into a slaughterhouse.

The rather dark aspect of the new opponents is their design. With their mechanically glowing yellow eyes and their more animalistic gaze, they create a certain tension when seen. Especially considering that yellow eyes often do not signify good things in many games.
