A player has recreated a huge Star Destroyer from Star Wars in Starfield and pushed the limits of the ship builder.
What kind of Star Destroyer is this? A user named ‘DotElectronic7174’ shared pictures of his latest ship on Reddit: a massive Star Destroyer that SciFi fans should recognize from Star Wars.
The post garnered over 2,400 upvotes and 220 comments in the Starfield subreddit within a few days. Many players are impressed by the construct and find the implementation really well done.

At the same time, he made it clear why the limits exist at all and why a huge Star Destroyer is not the ideal spaceship for shopping in cities like New Atlantis – it is way too big to land properly (via Reddit).

Player has to “cheat” to build a Star Destroyer
How did he remove the limits of the ship builder? DotElectronic7174 removed the limits of the ship builder with a mod that has the fitting name ‘Ship Builder Unrestricted’.
The mod allows you to build ships of any size and also lifts limits like shields or reactor limits and is available on the well-known site NexusMods.com.
The shipbuilding of Starfield is a truly fascinating feature. Many players build impressive creations or model legendary ships from various movies, series, or video games.
Accordingly, it was not surprising that shipbuilding was one of the most popular responses when the Starfield community discussed the best features of the game:
A manufacturer of gaming merchandise was allegedly forced by Sony to destroy its entire range of PS4/PS5 items. If you are in possession of such a figure, you should treat it like gold. Due to the sales stop, these may increase in value in the future.
Gamers like to buy a lot of merchandise related to their favorite video games. Especially collectible figures in various designs are a coveted collectible. These often find their place as decor in the gaming setup, often on shelves or in specially built glass cabinets.
Now, Gaming Heads, a manufacturer of gaming collectible figures, has been asked by Sony to destroy its entire range of PS4/PS5 items. Open orders will no longer be fulfilled. This makes figures in your possession gold. So take good care of them.
Affected customers are upset about the poor communication and want their money back. Sony is still silent on this and has not given any reasons for this decision.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is coming to PS5 – Trailer prepares for console release
If you have one of these figures, treat it like gold
What does Gaming Heads write in the open letter? The merchandise manufacturer Gaming Heads has addressed the community with a statement on X (formerly Twitter). It explains that the sale of officially licensed PlayStation items will be stopped immediately.

What happens to figures already produced from PS4/PS5 games? All items in stock will be destroyed. This was allegedly ordered directly by Sony as the licensor. This includes, for example, a bust of Kratos from God of War and a statue of Ellie from The Last of Us 2. The figures that have already been sold could therefore soon become very valuable. So treat them like gold.
How will open orders be handled? Paid orders will no longer be fulfilled. According to Gaming Heads, affected customers should contact the console manufacturer directly. After upset customers complained about this questionable statement, Gaming Heads backtracked in the comments. Refunds for already paid orders will now also run directly through the merchandise manufacturer.
What reasons are given for this decision? Gaming Heads speaks of a unilateral decision by Sony. However, without an official statement from the developer, all statements should be taken with caution. Interestingly, Sony is said to have already received licensing fees for unsold and unshipped goods from the range. How Gaming Heads and the PS5 manufacturer will come to an agreement on this matter remains uncertain.
All in all, this announcement leaves many open questions in the community and does not reflect well on the manufacturer Gaming Heads. It remains to be seen whether Sony will comment on this case and share its own perspective.
Larian Studios is extremely quick with their patches and hotfixes for Baldur’s Gate 3. However, accidents do happen here and there: Recently, they gave the hairless cat “His Majesty” a fur coat, and the player community is calling for shaving.
Warning Spoiler: This article contains minor spoilers for Act 2 of Baldur’s Gate 3.
Who is “His Majesty”? “His Majesty” is the cat in the Last Light Inn in Act 2 of Baldur’s Gate 3. He lives there under the care of the Harpers under Jaheira’s leadership. The tomcat primarily patrols the great hall in the main building.
If you address His Majesty without being able to speak with animals, he will only hiss at you. However, once you have cast “Speak with Animals,” you can engage him in conversation. If you impress him enough, he will reveal a bit more about the Harper camp.
The hairless cat of Baldur’s Gate 3 that shouldn’t be
What happened in Patch 3? On September 23, Larian Studios released Patch 3 for Baldur’s Gate 3. In addition to bug fixes, there were adjustments to the Shadowheart romance and the magic mirror that allows you to change your appearance. However, “His Majesty” was also adjusted:
We have updated the appearance of His Majesty, who previously looked like Steel Claw. His Majesty’s appearance now fits his name and nature.
Before the patch, His Majesty was a hairless cat. After the patch, he became a Ragdoll cat with white-brown fur. The nudity was probably just a bug.
His Majesty after Patch 3.
Steel Claw is another cat that you can meet in Baldur’s Gate 3. He also has no fur. This is probably intentional.
How did the players react? The community reacted with astonishment to confusion: Many had already taken a liking to the eccentric tomcat. On X (formerly Twitter) and reddit, they expressed their displeasure.
Here is an example from X:

On reddit, players are also specifically discussing the patch notes. The most upvoted comment by AlfwinOfFolcgeard points out that the resemblance to Steel Claw was taken as justification. But since Steel Claw addresses players as “Furloose,” they think it would be more appropriate for Steel Claw to have gotten fur – not His Majesty.
Redditor Zazulio, on the other hand, states in the same thread: “I don’t know who Steel Claw is yet, but she has made herself a new enemy today.”
The general sentiment of the community: One should please make His Majesty hairless again.
All’s well that ends well: Larian once again follows the players’ wishes
How do the developers react? Larian Studios initially did not respond to the community’s call. On October 3, they released Hotfix 8, which they commented as follows:
Hotfix #8 for Baldur’s Gate 3 is now live. This update fixes several crashes and issues, including the fact that your party members will transfer all important items to you once they are dismissed.
Even more importantly, we have shaved His Majesty.
So once you have patched Hotfix #8, His Majesty is once again a hairless cat. This shows that Larian Studios listens to the community’s feedback and incorporates it into their development.
A frequently mentioned point was that player characters from multiplayer rounds prevented the recruitment of NPC companions. Larian then implemented with Patch 2 the option of locking inactive multiplayer characters in a closet at Lazarus.
Patch 3 brought not only the unwanted fur covering of His Majesty but also a magic mirror that allows you to adjust the appearance of your character. This was also a long-wanted feature by the community.
How do you feel about the shaving of His Majesty? What bug fixes and features would you like to see in Baldur’s Gate 3? Let us know in the comments!

Jude Bellingham: Real Madrid won 3:0 against Girona and Bellingham showed a strong performance, scoring one goal himself and assisting another. A place in TOTW 3 seems likely.
Martin Ødegaard: The Norwegian had an outstanding game in Arsenal’s 4:0 win against Bournemouth. He noted one goal and one assist at the final whistle, making him perfect for a spot in the next Team of the Week.
Lautaro Martinez: All 4 goals in the Inter Milan vs. Salernitana game were attributed to Martinez. If he doesn’t make it into TOTW 3, it would be extremely unusual.

After failures like Death Note and Cowboy Bebop, anime fans finally have a reason to look forward to Netflix adaptations again. Netflix might build on the success of the live-action adaptation of One Piece. Already in December 2023, the next anime Yu Yu Hakusho is set to premiere.
What is Yu Yu Hakusho?
The anime aired from 1992 to 1995, coinciding with Dragon Ball Z
The series consists of 112 episodes
The original manga is by Yoshihiro Togashi, the husband of Naoko Takeuchi (creator of Sailor Moon)
Like One Piece, it belongs to the shonen genre, targeting a young male audience
Unfortunately, Netflix has not yet revealed exactly which day the live series will be available on the streaming service. The series is said to be in production since June 2021, and at least some early images from the set have been released at that time (via twitter.com).
In several teaser images, Netflix showcases the main characters of the series. The lead role is played by Takumi Kitamura (via IGN). He is known, among other things, from Tokyo Revengers. Jun Shison, Kanata Hongo, and Shuhei Uesugi take on the roles of Kurama, Hiei, and Kazuma Kuwabara, respectively (via Netflix).
It is already known from the director that there will be many action scenes in the series. The latest technology will be used for the visual effects.
Even in One Piece, some special effects were used. Check out the following trailer to see what it might look like in Yu Yu Hakusho:

One Piece – German Trailer for the First Season of the Live-Action Series by Netflix
Yu Yu Hakusho tells the story of a ghost detective
What is Yu Yu Hakusho about? The anime is about 14-year-old Yusuke Urameshi. He is a rebel and has no respect for others. He skips school and gets into fights in his free time.
But one day he saves a small child from being hit by a vehicle. During this act, however, Yusuke dies. The spirit world is surprised by his heroic deed, as Yusuke finds no place in either heaven or hell.
Therefore, Yusuke gets the chance for a second life. After his rebirth, he must fulfill the tasks of a ghost hunter. He has to defeat demons for the prince of the spirit world, Lord Koenma. During his journeys, he meets more and more characters who join his quest.
The production is handled by Robot Inc. Kazutaka Sakamoto, whom we already know from Alice in Borderland, is the executive producer. The director is Sho Tsukikawa, known for his work on I Want to Eat Your Pancreas.
It remains to be seen whether the anime adaptation will be as successful as One Piece. A second season for the Netflix series was recently confirmed.
Yesterday, on October 3, 2023, a new game was released on Steam that promises you minimalist and relaxed gameplay centered around building a railway network. Check out the launch trailer here on MeinMMO.
What kind of game is this? Station to Station is a construction game that was released on Steam in which you build your own railway network and the surrounding landscapes. This game is not just for you if you like trains, but also if you are looking for a good puzzle game.
Above all, the developers promise you a relaxed gameplay, as seen in the trailer in charming voxel graphics – reminiscent of building with many small building blocks.
We have included the launch trailer here for you:
Start video
Station to Station Launch Trailer
What you can expect: As the trailer shows you, a variety of possibilities and landscapes await you in Station to Station to shape your rail network according to your ideas.
You start small and build your first tracks and stations in a rural area. The more connections you create, the more you ensure the growth of the entire area. A quiet rural area can quickly turn into a lively and bustling environment.
For a little twist, the developers promise you exciting puzzle elements that are meant to challenge you to optimize your routes and solve logistical problems.
A beautiful game for those who love building and puzzles
In addition to a relaxed building game, you can also prove your skills in management and planning. Because at each level, optional challenges are offered to you if pure building becomes too simple.
This concept received a lot of positive reviews on Steam after just one day:
JD-Plays writes: Station to Station is a wonderful, small puzzle game with the cutest voxel trains I’ve ever seen. I played the demo months ago and fell in love.
ExplodingRocket writes: Great game, very stable and relaxing. 11/10 from me.
Shaymin writes: This is one of the most beautiful and cutest games I have ever played.
This month it is finally here, something many fans have been waiting for: Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be released exclusively for the Playstation 5. Now, they want to shorten the waiting time a bit with a cinematic trailer. This generates a lot of excitement among the fans.
What kind of game is it? Once again, Marvel sends you to a realistically recreated version of the metropolis New York City, where you will take on the roles of the two heroes Peter Parker and Miles Morales.
Together, the two fight against well-known villains, such as Venom or Kraven the Hunter, to keep their neighborhood safe. The developers promise you a variety of entertaining and surprising side quests.
You can see the latest trailer featuring a joint fight against Venom here:

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Be greater together Trailer
When is the game coming out? Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will be released on October 20, 2023, exclusively for the PS5 (via playstation.com).
As announced via X/Twitter, there will also be a new PS5 bundle for you at the game release.
If you want to know more about Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, feel free to check out our colleagues from GamePro, who summarize everything you need to know about the game.
What does the trailer show? You shouldn’t expect new gameplay from the current trailer. Instead, it shows you how well the two heroes fit together and that they rightly wear their suit. This especially delights the fans, as is evident in the comments on YouTube.
The trailer excites with a staged fight between the two heroes and the villain Venom. It especially shows you how well the two heroes complement each other and can work together with their strengths.
Peter shows his spider legs and skillfully uses them to catch a fall, employing his inventions in battle. In addition, Miles showcases his useful ability to become invisible or to really hit Venom with an electric shock.
The two friendly spider heroes show you what it means to wear the mask
The trailer is rounded off with a few melancholic scenes, where Peter stands sadly at the grave of Aunt May and Uncle Ben, and Miles sits disheartened on his bed, looking at a photo of his father.
But that is precisely what the trailer captures: what fans have loved about Spider-Man for years. Overcoming his doubts, worries, and sorrow, and showing everyone that despite everything, he is worth wearing the mask.
Here are some voices from the fans:
Alacaelum writes: This 1-minute trailer perfectly shows the essence of the Spider-Legacy.
segofficial writes: Peter has shown us that when we are down, we get back up. Miles has shown us that anyone can wear the mask.
siavm writes: There is really something special about seeing two Spider-Men fight together.
With the “Scary-Beautiful Ticket” in Pokémon GO, 4 events are waiting in October for 5.99 € for the trainers. However, they are loudly complaining about 2 words and refuse to make a purchase yet.
What is this ticket about? The Scary-Beautiful Ticket is supposed to herald a little Halloween in Pokémon GO already now. Throughout October, you will receive a total of four Limited Research tasks, which you have until the end of the month to complete.
As a reward in these research tasks, there are “premium items” and event Pokémon, but also permanent bonuses that last throughout the month. In the best case, you will earn 1.5 times more XP and Stardust for the first catch of the day for up to 30 days.
The Limited Research tasks start every Thursday:
October 5th from 10 AM: Schlingking returns in level 5 raids, and for the research, there are 3 Premium Battle Passes
October 12th from 10 AM: In line with the Harvest Festival, there is also a Limited Research here. This time, there is a Moss Lure Module and additional encounters with Irrbis in sizes L and XL
October 19th from 10 AM: Here, the Halloween event in Pokémon GO is supposed to start. With the Limited Research, you get 2 incubators and additional encounters with Paragoni
October 26th from 10 AM: The Halloween event enters its second phase and the rewards of the research ramp up, offering 3 Silver Pinap Berries, 2 Super Incubators, 2 Rare Candies, and more encounters with Traunfugil and Paragoni
That’s at least what we know so far. Because under each Limited Research, there is a note that there could possibly be more items. This is indicated by the note “.. and more!” However, that particularly annoys the trainers.

Twitch streamer receives hate messages for supporting Pokémon GO
I’m not buying anything if I don’t know what I’m buying
What is the problem with the ticket? On the Pokémon GO subreddit, two things are being widely discussed regarding the ticket. Firstly, the content itself is under criticism. User Disguntled_Goat has summarized what you actually get for the price of 5.99 € (via Reddit).
In doing so, he concludes: “It’s not terrible, but assuming you also get 500 coins for it, you would get the items in specific boxes cheaper.” He receives a lot of support. He also points out that the addition “.. and more” could possibly just be some Pokéballs, Stardust, or EXP.
Another thread is solely dedicated to this issue by user Backalley_Lurker. They say “I’m not buying anything if I don’t know what I’m buying” and receive 800 upvotes and over 133 comments for it. They add to their statement, “and especially not if it’s time-limited” (via Reddit).
What do other trainers say? The comments under the thread see the situation similarly. Here, the postings vary from people who are genuinely upset to those who view the whole thing with humor. For example, bigfax337 writes: “The ‘..and more’ are anyway just about 1,000 XP and 500 Stardust. It’s like when you use ‘etc’ in an essay because you run out of examples.”
Other trainers simply suggest waiting. Once the event starts, you would find out all the details on Reddit and the internet anyway, and then you can still buy if it turns out to be worthwhile.
What do you think? Are you buying the ticket? Or do you also think it’s not worth it yet? Do the 2 words annoy you as well, or do you see it more calmly? Feel free to write it in the comments here on MeinMMO.

In New World the new expansion Rise of the Angry Earth has just been released. In line with the release, both the base game and the combination of the game and the expansion are significantly discounted. However, the offer only lasts for a week.
19.99 Euro for the Deluxe edition of the base game
44.98 Euro for the base game + the expansion Rise of the Angry Earth
Actually, the base game still costs 39.99 Euro and the new expansion 28.99 Euro. The offer lasts for one week, until October 10th. After that, you will have to pay higher prices.
Interestingly, the new expansion can only be purchased since the release today at 6:00 PM. A pre-order was not possible, which led to chaos at the launch.
Is the purchase worth it? New World has been greatly expanded since its release in September 2021. A new area, several new dungeons and related mutations, new weapons, and an overhauled story are just a small excerpt of what has changed. The leveling process has also been adjusted and is now much more dynamic.
The new seasons also guarantee an update every quarter, bringing new features like story quests, instances, and events each time.
What’s included in the new expansion? If you buy the package with the expansion directly, you can look forward to some new content that other players have not yet discovered, including:
The area Elysian Wilds, which was formerly known as First Light and will become the endgame zone.
The new gear score raised to 700. In addition, a new rarity tier beyond legendary is being introduced for the equipment: the Artifacts.
The new weapon Mace.
A new dungeon for players level 62+.
On the test server, we have already tried the mounts and the new dungeon. The mounts, for example, are significantly more dynamic than in WoW but do not reach the level of those in Guild Wars 2. Nevertheless, they are a useful innovation that also comes with its own quests and several races.
A more detailed insight into the contents will be provided in the coming days when we have played more ourselves.
The famous Twitch streamer shroud recently voiced his concerns about the future of the popular Counter-Strike series during a livestream. Shroud, known for his shooter skills and knowledge in this genre, expressed the opinion that Counter-Strike might come to an end with the release of the second part.
Who is shroud?
Michael “shroud” Grzesiek, a 29-year-old streamer from Canada.
He has 10.7 million followers on Twitch and averaged 15,000 viewers over the past 6 months.
He enjoys the reputation of a “shooter god”, as he masters all shooter games at the highest level, including battle royale titles like Apex Legends, hero shooters like Overwatch, or tactical shooters like Escape from Tarkov.
However, shroud became particularly well-known for his expertise in the tactical shooters Counter-Strike and Valorant, for which he even played professionally for teams like Cloud9 and Sentinels.
Counter-Strike 2 heralds a new era – The most important changes in the video
What shroud thinks about CS2
What is shroud’s opinion on the new CS2? Counter-Strike 2, which stayed in beta for a long time, was finally officially released on September 27, 2023. The community eagerly awaited the game and had high expectations.
However, Twitch streamer shroud spoke very critically during his livestream on October 1, 2023. During the stream, he first criticized some gameplay aspects, particularly the smokes. But then he surprised his audience with the claim: ‘I think this game is dying. CS is dying with two. I think that’s true. I firmly believe that.’

A teammate then questioned his negative assessment, to which shroud replied: ‘I think this game marks the end of Counter-Strike. I mean, we had a good run, right?’
How does it compare to Valorant? The gaming community is eagerly watching how Counter-Strike 2 will develop. Many Twitch streamers who previously mainly streamed Valorant are now also venturing into the new Counter-Strike adventure. However, opinions are divided.
Shroud also addressed this topic a few days ago. During a discussion, he stated that Valorant is currently the ‘number 1’ first-person shooter. He emphasized that he was not referring to player or viewer counts. He added, ‘I promise you, CS2 is easier.’
While shroud may be pessimistic about the future of the Counter-Strike franchise, the fact is that Counter-Strike 2 is currently the most played game on the Steam platform. The discussion about the fate of this shooter series will certainly continue for some time while the community eagerly awaits further developments and updates on Counter-Strike 2.
In Destiny 2 is entering Season 22 today, which will come to its finale. Players will accompany Eris on her likely final step to find out whether she resists the power or falls to the Taken forever. Additionally, activities will rotate again, and we will tell you where to go.
This is happening this week: Guardians in Destiny 2 will experience the finale of the seasonal “Blade’s Path quest” this week.
In addition to the story, the node for the pinnacle strikes will be available. You can choose which strike you want to play at the hardest difficulty level to earn your Conqueror title, complete it, or gild it.
The “Pinnacle” difficulty is the hardest strike PvE challenge in Destiny.
This season, three of the particularly difficult battlegrounds are included.
MeinMMO will also tell you what else is rotating this week.

Both the rotating raid, the rotating dungeon, and the exotic rotating missions are farmable. That means you can complete the individual encounters repeatedly to obtain various items and complete your collection, including possible exotics available in these contents.
The weekly legacy raid is “Root of Nightmares” with the weapon exotic “Conditional Finality”.
In addition, the dungeon “Duality” has extra loot and the exotic “Heartshadow”.
The weekly exotic mission is “Sign” with the exotic scout “Tale of a Dead One”.
Weekly activities
These are the ritual activities: Season 22 offers Guardians new challenges and a card deck that supports them on their missions with buffs and benefits, as long as they unlock everything and put their deck together appropriately.
Altars of Summoning: Offer sacrifices in the otherworldly prison of the Witch Queen to summon horrific foes, defeat them, and gain their power.
There are three difficulty levels that you can activate. Those who activate “Mighty”, the highest difficulty with three swords, will also work hard.
However, upgrading your deck makes it increasingly easier.
Savathun’s Pillar: Activate the pillar, defeat her overseers, and gain access to the Altars of Summoning.
Void crystals have a barrier around them that protects enemies nearby. The barrier must be entered, and the crystal destroyed from within.
Solar crystals burn when picked up and must be transported to a separate part of the arena.
Arc crystals grant the melee charge buff “Crystalline Charge”. Inactive Arc crystals must be awakened with a “Transference melee”.
Lightfall – Weekly campaign mission
“Downfall“
Secure the radial mast before Calus and his troops “the Veil” arrives.
Ascendant Challenge – Dreaming City
If you still need triumphs from the Dreaming City, pay attention: The corruption reveals new accesses to you with a sip of “Queen’s Leaf Tincture”.
Petra Venjhas this week the 2nd Ascendant Challenge for you. You will find Petra and her quest offering at the location “The Shore” in the Dreaming City. Here, Savathun also has her hands in play, as the curse begins to take back the sacred city of the Awoken at level 1.
All sources for pinnacle loot in Season 22 of Destiny 2
Eris Morn diligently absorbs the tributes of the Guardians
More power levels come automatically: The power level is also capped in Season 22, which means that the hard power level ceiling in Destiny 2 remains unchanged at 1,810. Therefore, no player is forced to perform at peak levels each week, but automatically levels up the artifact level in all activities.
There are still hard challenges, even without an increase in power level. For example, in Grandmaster raids, pinnacle nightfalls, Grandmaster lost sectors or the Trials of Osiris. Here, a high artifact level is beneficial and necessary.
If you are currently not at the hard cap of 1,810, we have listed the best sources for pinnacle loot for you here.
This pinnacle loot raises your power level to 1,810:
That was all the information we have for this week.
What do you think? Will Savathun rise today? Or maybe Eris will become the new witch, leading the Taken alongside the Vanguard against the Witness without ulterior motives? Feel free to let us know in the comments.
In the MMORPG Oldschool Runescape (PC, Steam), the first group of 5 players has now collectively reached the maximum possible level in the Ironman Group mode. The mode has very specific conditions. It is compared to a group of survivors on an island, like in the TV series Lost.
Oldschool Runescape is the “Classic version” of the MMORPG Runescape. It was released in 2013 and is roughly at the level of the original MMORPG from 2007.
The mode being played is called “Group Ironman”: This mode has only been in the game since October 2021. Therefore, the players had 2 years for the record.
Start video
Old School RuneScape shows the “Group Ironman” mode in the trailer
Together for 2 years in an MMORPG
What is the record? This group has become the first group of 5 to collectively reach the maximum level in all 23 skills, so the players are level 2277.
As Gamesradar explains, this is the first group of 5 to achieve this together. Previously, it was primarily 2-player groups and one single 3-player group that succeeded.
The group has achieved the goal in “Prestige status”: This means that all 5 players have been in this group from the very beginning, no one dropped out, and no one joined. The 5 must have spent a lot of time together for 2 years.
What is special about this mode? In single-player games, “Ironman” means that you cannot save your progress.
In Runescape, it means you cannot trade items: Every item you want to use must be found by yourself. In Group Ironman, there’s the special rule that you can trade with members of your own group.
Gamesradar compares the state of the 5 players to that of survivors on a deserted island: They are isolated and reliant on each other, in an otherwise hostile world.
It is said that Group Ironman creates a unique dynamic within a group and evidently requires high teamwork and social skills.

So this is being discussed: On reddit, there’s a consensus: It must have been the case that 4 people were already at the maximum level and told the fifth to hurry up at all costs.
In general, there is amazement that 5 players have accomplished such a feat; most groups of 5, it is said, that started the journey years ago, have already broken up after a short time.
After such a monumental achievement, there are naturally also jokes about carpal tunnel syndrome or that they can finally start enjoying the MMORPG.
Runescape generally tells very crazy stories when it comes to player achievements:
On this holiday, October 3rd, the servers of Destiny 2 will also take a short break. MeinMMO is therefore, as always, taking a look at the exact downtime and possible changes that might come to light during this respite.
Update history for Update 7.2.0.6:
7:00 PM: Bungie’s update went well. The file size for the download is 126.9 MB on PC: If you have downloaded it, you can jump directly into the last story week. You can find the patch notes further down in the article.
4:20 PM: Destiny 2 has taken its servers offline for maintenance as planned. Now we have to wait.
What you need to know today: At least the DDoS attack from the past weeks seems to have been weathered by Destiny 2 for now. The servers are running more stably and players are no longer constantly kicked with error codes.
Bungie now has more time to address the other issues in Destiny 2. However, the servers will again take a short break today, during which you cannot play.
For instance, the developer is still working on ensuring that Guardians who have completed the challenge “Crota’s End” in competitive mode receive the “There Can Be Only One” triumph and the corresponding emblem.
We will keep you updated today as usual about the start and duration of the server downtime so that you can optimally plan your activities in Destiny 2. So check back for an update to not miss any important details.

Maintenance on October 3rd – All Times for Server Down
These times are important today: Bungie shares all information about maintenance via Twitter/X and we regularly inform you about downtime in Germany. The planned downtime today is again 2 hours and 45 minutes.
Here is the exact schedule for the maintenance:
At 3 PM, background maintenance will begin on all platforms.
At about 4:15 PM, the servers will go offline. Players will be automatically kicked from the game.
During the downtime, Bungie will release the Season 22 Update 7.2.0.6. It will be rolled out gradually so that players on all platforms can download it.
By 7 PM, everything should be back online and you can try to log in again.
The maintenance will continue in the background until 9 PM.
Important: While the background maintenance is ongoing, there may be connection issues in the game. Additionally, there may be queues during login because Bungie only gradually grants access to the servers to avoid problems from high server loads. Therefore, you might have to wait longer before you are back in the game.
This will be included in Update 7.2.0.6: As always, Bungie publishes its current to-do list of things that are not functioning properly in the game. This list is also actively influenced by players reporting bugs on the Bungie forum.
Here are the bugs currently on this list:
It may happen that Guardians are blocked during the Path of Knives by simultaneously going through various steps of the quest.
The exotic equipment piece for Titans “Path of Burning Steps” and the associated ornaments no longer change their appearance when the boost perk for solar weapons is active.
The cooldown of the exotic equipment pieces “Frost-Guard Z” and “Icefall Cloak” for Titans is incorrect.
When the weapon details of items are displayed in players’ vaults, the symbols for weapon perks no longer appear.
Some players who have not fully completed the story missions of the Season of Depth cannot complete the current weekly story mission of the Season of the Witch until they have finished the story of the previous season.
Returning players who did not fully complete the introduction quest “A Guardian Rises” before the start of Lightfall cannot accept the quest “Learning from the Light”.
Several armor pieces can obstruct aiming when using the targeting apparatus with the exotic fusion rifle “Area Effect”.
Due to an issue, it is currently still not possible to withdraw equipment for saved loadouts from the vault. They must lie with the character.
The Lightfall event of the Vex Strike Force to obtain current exotics has an issue. It may not start even though the flag announces the event. As a result, players often travel in vain to Neomuna to participate in the public event.
Also worth noting: Player name changes are not infinitely customizable via bungie.net. Several “Number-Guardians” as well as “Ada-1 personal USB stick” are still waiting for the option to change their username again instead of receiving the message “You have no name changes available”.
If you know of any other bugs in the game that are not listed here but have caught your attention, feel free to share them in our comment section.
What is in the patch notes? Bungie publishes a list of all changes for Update 7.2.0.6 in the form of patch notes. A complete overview of all resolved issues and improvements will however be posted online later tonight.
As soon as they are published, we will update our article for you and link to the patch notes, as there may still be changes after that.
What else is important? Maintenance phases are unfortunately an unavoidable part of a live service game like Destiny 2, as they lay the foundation for a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience.
Although they may temporarily restrict access to the game, they are a necessary step to ensure that bugs do not remain in the game and that you can play as usual without too much disruption.
Keep an eye on this article to stay updated on the progress of the maintenance work and look forward to the new weekly reset that awaits you right after the update is completed.
In Destiny 2 there is again trouble with a hated player type: People who are in a hurry during raids and swinging swords, leading the rest of the raid into the abyss.
This is the situation:
In Destiny 2 there are raids again. The new season brought back the raid “Crota’s End” in September.
Many players in Destiny 2, who prefer a quiet and cozy experience, are annoyed by so-called “sweats,” who play very ambitiously, take every shortcut and want to rush through at maximum speed.
In the new raid, these players cause particular annoyance.

Destiny 2: Lightfall Season 22 – „Witch’s Season“
Swinging Swords into Doom
What is the problem? In Crota’s End, there is a challenge that requires a consistently calm approach from the raid: In the encounter “The Abyss,” also known as the Lamps, the raid is thrown into a dark area and must navigate between lamps to get rid of a debuff.
This requires the raid to stick together, because the lamps explode after a few seconds.
However, players who are particularly in a hurry tend to use a sword and leap forward using the ability “Eager Edge” (Bold Blade), making them faster than others.
A player says: On reddit, a user is upset, saying: He is really tired of “Wannabe Sweats” making the lamp the hardest encounter in the Crota raid.
Because the wannabe speedrunners are swinging swords ahead of the raid and refuse to listen to anyone. From their perspective, everyone else is the problem while they sword-swing themselves into a hole or are already 3 lamps ahead of the raid.
Without these wannabes, the encounter would be much easier.

This seems to be a case where attempting to make an encounter easier with a particular strategy only leads to extra difficulty and wipes.
While the encounter would theoretically be over quicker if everyone used the sword tactic, in practice, it goes wrong and one ends up spending more time than with the “normal, boring” method.
Gamers are getting older and having children, who grow into rebellious teenagers that cheekily claim: Dad can’t do it anymore. His games from back in the day are baby-easy and modern games like Fortnite are much harder. This happened to a Reddit user, who challenged his 10-year-old son to a gaming challenge in Diablo 2 Resurrected .
So the bet was set up:
The 10-year-old, apparently an avid Fortnite player, watched as his father played Diablo 2: Resurrected, the remake of Blizzard’s hack and slash classic from 2000.
The son dared to confront his father, saying the game looked really easy.
His father then made him an offer: If the 10-year-old could defeat the final boss of Diablo 2, Baal, on the highest difficulty Hell within a month, then the father would buy his son 13,500 V-Bucks in Fortnite, which costs about 80 €.
In Diablo 2, Baal awaits at the end of the game:

Son starts off a bit clumsily
This is how the bet went: The son started his journey in Diablo 2: He named his character, a necromancer, “Vbucks.” The father mocked on the first day: Although the son had defeated Blood Raven and took the first steps in Diablo 2, he hadn’t allocated a single attribute point in the first 3 levels.
After 3 days, the father noted: His son was now level 18 and confused because he had come across a multi-stage quest that he couldn’t solve easily. Additionally, he rejoiced: The new season in Fortnite was starting soon, and he was curious whether his son would still be interested in Diablo 2.
On day 14, Dad showed his son the secret cow level, and the little boy was excited about his first corpse explosion like a true necromancer. The father said his son leveled up at the cows to level 33 and was now ready for the difficulty Nightmare.
On day 18, the son was caught up in loot fever and found a belt, which he proudly showed to Dad: By now, the son had also gotten the hang of corpse explosions and had leveled up to 41.
After 56 hours of playtime, the 10-year-old defeats Baal
Did the boy succeed in the end? Yes, the story has a happy ending. It took 33 days instead of a month, but Dad turned a blind eye.
The proud gaming father writes on Reddit, on the last day his son jumped into Diablo 2 at 10 AM and was ready to take on Baal. During the final boss fight, Dad rated his son as having the click rate of a professional Starcraft 2 player; the little boy killed the boss in 21 minutes.
At every milestone in the battle, whenever the boss’s health bar significantly decreased, it was celebrated, and in the end, the demonic fiend lay defeated.
After 33 days and 56 hours of playtime, his son had defeated Baal on Hell. He was level 78 and had found all items himself, as the proud father assures.
Next, he wants to play together with his son: in Hardcore Normal as a Paladin and support Barb. The 13,500 V-Bucks for skins in Fortnite came in the form of a thick voucher.

What’s behind it: One can see from the postings that Dad was initially a bit amused looking at his Fortnite son, who was struggling with the role-playing mechanics.
But after a few days, pride in his son, who was getting into the game, took over, and he empathized with his child and enjoyed how much fun the 10-year-old had with this game for old people.
The story evokes much amusement and enthusiasm on Reddit. It’s nice to see a father bringing his son, who had fallen to the devil (Fortnite), back on the right path. However, there are also some voices questioning whether father and son could spend time together without a PC.
Todd Howard explains in a podcast that Starfield is intentionally designed to be played over the years and supplemented with new content.
On September 25, 2023, Starfield’s head Todd Howard was a guest on the “AIAS Game Makers Notebook Podcast” and spoke there with Ted Price, the CEO of Insomniac Games (Spyro, Ratches & Clank, Marvel’s Spider-Man).
Howard is Game Director and Executive Producer for Bethesda Game Studios. During the podcast, he discussed that the role-playing game was developed so that players can play it long-term (via YouTube).
Howard explains that Bethesda learned from Skyrim and Fallout
What exactly did Howard say about the longevity of Starfield? First, Howard spoke about the release of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The role-playing game was already a really big game at its release, but looking at it today, it has become much larger due to the many mods and add-ons and is still being played 12 years later.
Subsequently, Howard elaborates that players tend to get accustomed to a game over time and then want to improve it and add new things.
As developers, Bethesda wants the same, which is why the studio gathers feedback and has a list of things that Starfield should receive in the future. However, you can’t just dive into the whole list at once; you have to “choose your battles” and make sure everything runs “stably” (via YouTube).

Starfield – Official Gameplay Trailer
Howard explains that Starfield is deliberately designed to be played for a long time and to pose the question of how Starfield will look in three or four years.
Bethesda has learned from earlier games like Skyrim and Fallout, Howard describes, and therefore has made sure during the development of Starfield to build the game in such a way that it can be continuously supplied with content and played for years.
They have created a foundation with Starfield that they can build upon.
What else does Howard say in the podcast? The conversation with Ted Price provides some interesting insights into the development of Starfield and the thought processes that Bethesda had during development.
He also spoke about players’ expectations and the RPG genre. He believes that players’ expectations of a role-playing game have changed “drastically” because elements of the genre are being incorporated into many games, causing genres to blend.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 has released a trailer for the multiplayer of the upcoming title, evoking nostalgic feelings among the fans of the series.
What kind of trailer is this? On November 10, the latest installment of the popular shooter series, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, will be released. Just under a month before the official release, Activision showed the multiplayer of the upcoming title for the first time in a two-minute trailer.
Along with familiar shooter action and various insights into the maps, operators, gadgets, and weapons, the new trailer managed to evoke nostalgic feelings among fans.
If you want to see the new multiplayer trailer, we embed it here for you:

The new CoD MW3 presents itself with shooter action in the new multiplayer trailer
As if that wasn’t enough reason for joy for CoD veterans, the multiplayer trailer presents itself with the perfect musical accompaniment: ‘Till I Collapse’ by the American rapper Eminem.
When it came to the choice of music, for some fans on social media, it seemed almost irrelevant what the developers showed in the trailer, because it is the same song that played during the launch trailer of the original Modern Warfare 2 in 2009.
Here are a few reactions from CoD fans on Twitter:
„OG MW2 maps and Eminem music, tears.”
„They even used a song by Eminem for the trailer. Just like 2009, it’s the little things…”
„They are using a song that became famous during the MW2 era. So nostalgic!”
„They are doing everything to hit the nostalgia with the MW3 hype!”
„Bringing Eminem back for the trailer was the best thing they could have done.”
Besides the song that could really excite many fans, players noticed another detail in the new trailer that they are looking forward to: it seems that the slide-cancel is back (via Twitter).
The slide-cancel is a movement technique that allows players in CoD to transition from a tactical sprint into a slide, then interrupt the slide to sprint immediately afterward. The faster tactical sprint was reset because of this.
However, in Call of Duty MW2, the slide-cancel was removed and was no longer possible. Some players missed their technique, while others got creative and found a new trick:
To build a strong team in EA FC 24 Ultimate Team, you need coins. We will show you tips and tricks for trading to earn coins on the transfer market.
This is the transfer market in EA FC 24: On the Ultimate Team transfer market, you can find all kinds of items. Players can offer and buy them. There you will find, among other things:
New players
Contracts
Chemistry Styles to boost your players
Cosmetics for club and stadium – like jerseys, goal anthems, and more
However, keep in mind that transactions on the EA FC 24 transfer market are conducted only with coins that can be earned in-game. The real money currency “FC Points” cannot be used on the transfer market.
The goal in trading in EA FC 24 is to acquire cards cheaply and then sell them for profit. If done correctly, you can use the transfer market to earn a lot of coins.
You can then use these to improve your team – without spending real money.
Because you should always keep this in mind in Ultimate Team: Buying packs is usually not worth it:
What you need to consider when trading: The transfer market in Ultimate Team is dynamic, and prices can change every second. A player that cost 50,000 coins yesterday could be worth only half as much the next day – or even double.
Prices can fluctuate drastically, and what worked once may not work the next time.
It is essential to closely monitor the transfer market and then decide whether a trading method might be effective at that moment.
Here we show you some tips and methods you can try.
Account for the “transfer fee” when trading
What is this fee? A basic rule of the transfer market is that you will always have 5% deducted from the selling price with every sale. For example, if you sell a player for 10,000 coins, only 9,500 coins will be credited to your account.
This is bad if you just bought the player 10 times for 9,700 coins and then sold it 10 times for 10,000. Instead of a profit of 3,000 coins, you now have a loss of 2,000 coins.
This means: Always factor in these 5% before you decide how much to buy players you want to sell later.

EA FC 24: How the new dribbling mechanics work
Don’t just look at players – Especially at the start of EA FC 24
Which items are worth it? When you want to earn coins on the transfer market, you usually think only of players you can sell for a lot of coins at once.
But you should also take a look at cosmetics, chemistry styles, managers, and things like goal anthems. These are often mistakenly dismissed as “pack fillers”.
Especially now, at the start of EA FC 24, players are still adjusting their clubs, choosing jerseys from their favorite clubs, or looking for a strong manager.
Such items can bring you significantly more coins than you might think!
Pay attention to which evolutions are currently popular
In EA FC 24, evolutions are a powerful feature that allows you to improve your cards by completing tasks. But you can also use the feature to earn some coins.
What to keep in mind: New evolutions with new conditions regularly appear in Ultimate Team. If you notice this, you should act quickly. Be sure to check futwiz to see which cards are particularly popular for the respective evolutions.
You should then look for these cards cheaply on the transfer market and then sell them for a higher price. Ideally, this should be done when the new evolution gains popularity, and more players want to use those cards.
Use the right timing for meta players
What to keep in mind? Since EA FC 24 has just officially launched, the prices of many cards are currently steadily increasing. This is partly because new players are just now saving the coins needed to pay high prices in the transfer market. This causes meta players to spike in price significantly.
It is also possible that many cards will continue to increase at least until the first weekend league – as good players want to build powerful teams. Investing in such players now can therefore be worthwhile.
Outside the “startup phase,” Thursday morning has established itself as a good time to find cheap cards. This is because many players claim their division rivals’ rewards then. These are sold quickly and cheaply – that’s when you can strike.
Still during the day, towards Friday, cards may rise again if players start working on their weekend league teams. If you have bought interesting cards here, you have the chance for a profit.
Bronze Pack Method – BPM
What is the Bronze Pack Method? The “BPM” is an absolute classic among trading methods. The tactic consists of buying a premium bronze pack in the FUT shop for 750 coins and then selling all contained items.
The idea is that typically the items in the pack are worth more than the pack itself – even if only by a little.
You buy the pack and list the entire contents on the transfer list. It is important to check the price of each individual player – because some bronze cards are surprisingly valuable, thanks to SBCs or tasks.
Then you might sell a player for more than 1,000 coins and make a solid profit right away. So be careful not to price your cards too low.
This method primarily brings in small amounts and requires a lot of patience, but it has proven to be quite low-risk and popular – especially at the start of a FIFA/FC title.
However, try not to clutter your transfer list with cards that simply won’t sell. If you see cards that just won’t move for 200 coins, you should remove them from the list.
This technique does not typically work well with gold and silver packs, as the prices of the packs often exceed what you can get out of them. The chance of expensive players is low.
Sniping and Flipping Cards
Buy players cheap, sell them expensive: “Sniping” is one of the most well-known trading methods in Ultimate Team. The goal is to get selected cards for as cheaply as possible and then sell them at a higher price.
This is how sniping works: You select a card that has the potential to become even more expensive. You then search for it using the search filter.
Example: A player typically costs 5,000 coins. You set your filter below that – for instance, at 4,000. The lower you go, the less likely you are to get an offer.
If you find a low price, you must rush to make the purchase as quickly as possible – because you are also competing with other players for the offers. Typically, the plan looks as follows:
Set your filter and press search.
Close the message displayed if no card appears.
If you do not get the card: Increase the maximum bid price with the shoulder buttons, keeping the buy-it-now price the same. This will refresh the market offers.
Keeping the price the same means you always get the same expired offers.
Then continue searching.
Repeat these steps until a card appears. If it just doesn’t work, try again at another time or with another card.
Alternatively, you can increase the buy it now price – but not too high. Otherwise, it is no longer worthwhile, also due to the transfer fee.
You can also snipe in the web app and companion app, but typing takes longer than the practiced process on the controller. This can cost valuable seconds during which other players can strike.
How do I make coins with this? The goal is to buy cards well below their “normal” value. You can then “flip” them – selling them at a higher price.
In the best case, you might even want to wait a little once you’ve bought a player with the potential to become more expensive. But be careful that its value does not drop, resulting in a loss.
Pay attention to SBCs and tasks
What makes these elements important? In Ultimate Team, it can be worthwhile to stock up on cards and not sell them immediately but at the right moment. SBCs and tasks can help with this.
Because players often search in Ultimate Team for cards with very specific requirements to complete SBCs or tasks.
For example, some SBCs may require TOTW cards. If you have any that cannot be sold at a good price, it may be worth holding onto them until such a moment.
It may also happen that players suddenly need a whole bunch of second league players or players from an unusual nation for a task set. Thus, cards that would otherwise bring little on the transfer market can suddenly become very expensive.
Here, it is important to constantly monitor the market and offer the right cards at the right moment.
What is the benefit of futbin? On futbin, you can accurately track current player prices to spot trends. Players on the “Popular” main page currently fall into the category of players from the last tip.
Such sites provide much clearer insights into current prices than searching the transfer market itself.
In addition to these methods, there are many more tactics that can earn coins on the transfer market. What do you use for trading? Do you have any other tips? Feel free to tell us in the comments!
If you currently want to secure a strong card, take a look at the new RTTK card (Road to the Knockouts) of Giovanni Reyna:
With the Road-To-The-Knockouts-Event (RTTK), the first real promo has officially arrived in EA FC 24. The upgrades of the special cards seem quite overwhelming at first glance; too overwhelming, according to the opinion of a famous German YouTuber.
What are the strongest cards of the RTTK promo? With Haaland, Osimhen, Bruno Fernandes, Saka, and Díaz, there are five players in the first team that cost 600k coins or more. The RTTK card of Haaland costs around 2.5 million coins with the improved skills (from three to four stars).
The high prices reveal that the players have received strong upgrades and can achieve even higher ratings as dynamic cards. One of Germany’s biggest FIFA streamers, GamerBrother, sees a significant problem despite all the excitement over the new promo cards.
Watch the video for about a minute to get an initial impression of his criticism.

“EA is digging its own grave”: Expectations too high
What problem does the YouTuber see? In the video clip, you can see GamerBrother comparing the RTTK cards of Openda and Saka. He first notes that Openda’s promo card would normally be a strong special card for the FIFA release.
However, he then switches to Saka’s event card, which has not only received a strong upgrade on its stats but also improved skills and higher precision with the weak foot.
Such powerful upgrades right at the release are likely to lead to overly high expectations from players for the upcoming events. In this context, the FIFA streamer notes that EA has dug its own grave here.
A user in his live stream confirms this, stating he can understand the community’s displeasure, especially if EA releases special cards in the upcoming events that cannot compete with the overwhelming upgrades of the RTTK promo.
The community’s and streamer’s concerns are based on the issues with the power curve in FIFA 23. What the power curve exactly is and what problematic parallels the streamer and his community see to last year can be read below.
The entire RTTK team has been presented to you in a separate article.
Is EA doing it again? The problems with the power curve
What is the power curve? You can think of the power curve as an indicator that provides information about the ratings at a certain point in EA FC 24.
A successful power curve gradually rises throughout the year, meaning the ratings only slowly increase from event to event, so the strongest cards with the best ratings only appear at the end of the game.
Each year, the Team-of-the-Year promo is the exception, as real players with the best performances throughout the year are honored and consequently receive the most powerful upgrades.
What parallels exist to FIFA 23? Already last year, EA had problems stabilizing the power curve, leading to a flood of very strong players in November with the World Cup in Qatar and the corresponding promos. Many gamers played these high-end cards until Team-of-the-Season and beyond, simply because they were the best cards in the game.
Do you want a short example?
Who doesn’t remember the World-Cup-Hero card of Yaya Toure, who in-game was among the best players for a long time because he could do everything.
The same threat looms for EA FC 24, at least according to GamerBrother and parts of his community. A rapidly rising power curve doesn’t only have to bring disadvantages.
