Why is FIFA Now EA Sports FC?

This is the new title: The new name of the football series is “EA Sports FC 24”. EA bids farewell to the established “FIFA” title and moves in a new direction.

Content-wise, many familiar elements of the FIFA series will return in “EA FC” as usual. Previously known information is summarized below.

Why is it not called FIFA 24? The naming partner of the series, the football world association “FIFA”, and EA Sports are no longer working together. This has been known since spring 2022.

What does the new logo for EA Sports FC look like?

Slowly but surely, EA starts introducing its new game that will be released this year. This includes, for example, the presentation of the new logo of EA Sports FC, which we embed here:

The logo has, among other things, been shared by many clubs, leagues, and other representatives of the football world on social media when it was introduced. EA seems to want to show that authenticity and connection to real football will not be lacking even with the absence of the FIFA name.

Onimusha is the next video game to get a Netflix adaptation after LoL and The Witcher – Here’s what the anime is about

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

Onimusha may be familiar to some of you as a video game series from Capcom. The horror survival game has many similarities to Resident Evil, but is set in a completely different environment. Now an anime based on the video game series is set to premiere on Netflix in a few weeks.

What is Onimusha as a video game?

  • The Onimusha series consists of four main games and was released between 2001 and 2006, with a remaster of the first part following in 2018
  • Onimusha takes place during the Sengoku period (approx. 1467-1603) in Japan and is inspired by real events and figures
  • A great Japanese warlord is resurrected from the dead and wants to conquer Japan with an army of the undead
  • As samurai, we try to deter the warlord from his plans
  • Onimusha was developed by Capcom and has some parallels to Resident Evil

Onimusha means something like demon hunter and tells the story of samurai Samanosuke in the first part. He lives in a time when Japanese generals fought for power and territory with their forces. However, the legendary general Nobunaga Oda is a particular evil due to his army of demons.

In the second part of the series, the perspective shifts to Jubei Yagyu, whose village was almost completely wiped out by the wicked general Nobunaga. Therefore, he embarks on a quest for revenge as the sole survivor.

In the third part, Samanosuke takes the lead role again, but this time he is transported to modern France. The fourth part returns to the original direction and revolves around Hideyasu “Soki” Yuki, the illegitimate son of a servant of Nobunaga.

Netflix has already released a first trailer for the series, which you can watch on MeinMMO:

Netflix revives legendary game series, brings Onimusha anime

What we already know about the anime on Netflix

Netflix is now bringing the video game series as an anime. After hits like Arcane, The Witcher, and The Last of Us, Onimusha is the next Netflix adaptation that promises great potential.

What is the anime about? The Onimusha series would provide plenty of content to make an entire anime. Nevertheless, this production will tell a completely different story. At the center of the story is the warrior Musashi Miyamoto, who uses two different swords in battle.

He has 33 days to eliminate the undead, just like in the video game series.

The character is based on the real person of the same name, who was a legendary swordsman. At the same time, the main character is inspired by the famous actor Toshiro Mifune, who starred in over 150 films such as Seven Samurai.

von Jasmin Beverungen

The anime stands out especially for its animation style. The series is partly drawn, while CGI technology is also used. Sublimation Studio is responsible for the anime, which has also created the anime for Dragon’s Dogma.

When does the anime start on Netflix? If you are interested in the anime, you need to mark November 2, 2023, in red on your calendar. The Onimusha anime is set to premiere on Netflix on that date.

Currently, a spin-off to Castlevania has started that could be even more brutal than the original: One of the best Netflix animes gets a spin-off: The trailer promises plenty of action and suspense

WoW Classic: “All Gold Sellers Have Rejoiced About the WoW Token” – YouTuber Exposes the Schemes of Bots

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Gold sellers ruin the realms in World of Warcraft Classic – but it is a huge business. And the community ensures that it keeps growing.

Gold sellers and bots are a problem in World of Warcraft. Once often called “China farmers”, gold farmers now come from all over the world and are a lucrative gain – some even build their entire existence around it. No wonder, since a single PC can run several WoW accounts simultaneously and thus earn about $50 an hour.

Especially in Wrath of the Lich King Classic, gold prices have developed oddly on some servers. Normal gameplay is no longer possible in many places, as an extremely high gold price even for the simplest materials ruins the fun of the game. In addition, “GDKP” raids have established themselves. Anyone who wants loot from a raid must bid on it with gold. The gold collected is then shared among all participants.

The YouTuber MetaGoblin has long dealt with the issue and published several videos. In them, he explains why botting in WoW is so easy, why the WoW token doesn’t help, and also why the community is partially to blame for it only getting worse.

Why is so much gold being bought? The main reason for this, according to MetaGoblin, actually lies with the community. Because it has simply evolved over the past 20 years. The players who were once students now have jobs and often families.

Those who want to farm enough gold in the game to cover the weekly raid expenses would have to invest many hours of playtime – or you simply work for an hour in real life and buy the gold you want with that.

The problem is that “gold farming” is not a fun pastime for most people. Killing the same mobs for hours, mining ores, or picking herbs is only enjoyable for a few.

What most enjoy are the raids and dungeons. And for those, you need gold. Thus, the step to buying gold, whether “legally” via the WoW token or “illegally” through gold sellers, is quite obvious.

Why gold sellers are happy about the WoW token

Blizzard introduced the WoW token in Wrath of the Lich King Classic a while ago. The justification was that the token is a “proven method to limit gold sales.” In a way, that may be true, because a few potential customers certainly resort to the “legal” variant to avoid risking their account – but the vast majority do not.

That the WoW token has not helped is something MetaGoblin attributes solely to the gold prices. Anyone looking to buy gold through illegal means paid only half as much shortly after the token’s introduction as they did for the legal offer.

At the same time, the WoW token has helped bots significantly. Because they have heaps of gold sitting on their accounts and can use it to buy their subscriptions, which have already paid for themselves within a few hours.

MetaGoblin believes that Blizzard only introduced the WoW token so that Blizzard can at least skim off some of the money and earn a bit from gold selling itself. After all, Blizzard earns from the original purchase of a WoW token in the shop.

von Cedric Holmeier

How can Blizzard get a handle on this? MetaGoblin sees few chances of how that can succeed. For that, Blizzard would need to hire many more game masters who would essentially investigate the realms for suspicious activities in real-time. The bot users and gold sellers MetaGoblin has spoken to seem to agree: The automatic detection system in WoW is outdated and bots usually only get caught when they are repeatedly reported by other players.

This, in turn, happens almost only in the open world. Bots primarily in dungeons are almost never banned – or only during the next “ban wave”, which occurs only every few weeks. By then, a bot account has already made enough profit.

According to MetaGoblin, bots say: “Bans are annoying, but that’s all. After 15 minutes, everything is back to normal.”

How would you proceed to put a stop to the bots? Is there still a chance?

The most interesting thing in WoW Classic right now are the hardcore deaths – like this perfect “hole-in-one”.

Warner Bros. wanted to do more with a gangster film, but the director let the main characters die

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 2 minutes

Martin Scorsese directed Departed in 2006 – Among Enemies. The film studio had other plans for the gangster film, but the director let the two main characters die – and thus the franchise.

The American director, screenwriter, and film producer Martin Scorsese is known for his films Taxi Driver, GoodFellas, Casino, and Gangs of New York. However, he won his first Oscar only in 2007 for the film Departed – Among Enemies.

The thriller remake Departed – Among Enemies contains one of the most unforgettable scenes with Leonardo DiCaprio. You can find out more from our colleagues at Moviepilot.

In an interview published on September 25, 2023 in the online magazine GQ, director Martin Scorsese talks about the reactions to his gangster film. These were positive during the test screening, the audience and the filmmakers were enthusiastic. Only the film studio Warner Bros. reacted differently.

“They wanted the franchise”

This was the reaction of the film studio: In the interview, Martin Scorsese recounts that he decided to shoot Departed – Among Enemies in 2006. The studio Warner Bros. asked him if the two main characters, played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon, could survive.

The studio, according to GQ, was concerned about having characters for future films. However, they both die.

What they wanted was a franchise. It wasn’t a moral question of whether a person lives or dies. And then the studio people [from the test screening] left, and they were very sad because they simply didn’t want this film. They wanted the franchise.

Martin Scorsese via GQ

In 2004, the director collaborated with Warner Bros. on the film The Aviator. However, the studio, according to GQ, halted payments for the film and Scorsese eventually completed the work himself, spending $500,000 out of his own pocket (via GQ).

After that, Martin Scorsese said to himself: “I will no longer make films,” but in 2006 he took on Departed – Among Enemies.

The gangster film earned Scorsese his first Oscar. He enjoyed being nominated, even though he had gone empty-handed until then. He always told himself: “Just be quiet and make the films. You can’t make a film for an award.”

In the interview, the director states that film studios are no longer interested in supporting individual voices in the industry.

According to GQ, Scorsese sees the problem in the fact that a large part of today’s cinema programming is dominated by franchises and comic entertainment. He says: “There will be generations that will believe that films are only that.”

While comic adaptations and superhero films remain successful, another area is achieving something that superheroes often cannot anymore, says MeinMMO editor-in-chief Leya Jankowski: Video games are replacing Marvel as the eternal star on the big screen

Bethesda CEO Todd Howard says: If you are constantly overloaded in Starfield, it is your own fault

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 2 minutes

In Starfield, loot can be found almost everywhere – a true feast for collectors. However, this can quickly lead to the inventory being completely filled. That’s Bethesda’s fault, says CEO Todd Howard.

Todd Howard is the Game Director and Executive Producer for Bethesda Game Studios, the studio behind titles like Starfield, Fallout, and The Elder Scrolls. Additionally, he was, before the release of Starfield, the only person allowed to speak about new information regarding Starfield at Bethesda.

In an interview uploaded as a YouTube episode on September 25, Todd Howard speaks with Ted Price from “The AIAS Game Maker’s Notebook Podcast” about the phenomenon of players needing to collect everything and becoming overloaded. However, you don’t really need all that stuff.

After all, tablets, pencils, and such sell quite well. Here are some tips on how to make money quickly:

Starfield: Earn money quickly in an HONEST way!

“No, you don’t need the stuff”

This is what Todd Howard says to loot fans: In the conversation with Ted Price, Todd Howard talks about the freedoms players have in Starfield. They can decide for themselves where to go and what to do. This is especially relevant when players are looting.

It seems that every time people play one of our new games, they pick up everything. They become immediately overloaded. No, you don’t need the tablets and the pencils. But we like that you can pick them up.

Todd Howard via The AIAS Game Maker’s Notebook Podcast

However, it is simply too tempting when loot is lying around everywhere – even in toilets. Full backpacks and overload are issues that occupy players in Starfield. Players keep gathering tips to solve the overload problem.

You can simply stuff your companions with the junk, build makeshift outposts, use the container in the lodge with unlimited storage space, or use cheats.

Here are some tips against full backpacks:

Alternatively, you can just continue walking around with your overloaded inventory and even sprint. Of course, this has consequences that you have to weigh for yourself because: Your oxygen drops rapidly under too much load. After that, the CO₂ level in your suit rises.

Players have completely tested this to see if you can die from it:

Developers of Baldur’s Gate 3 want you to play these 5 builds – because hardly anyone else does

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

Through multiclassing, you can combine multiple classes in Baldur’s Gate 3. This feature is aimed more at advanced players. Larian, the creators of the game, have now shown which combinations are the most popular and say: some of the unpopular options are actually really strong. Is that true?

What kinds of builds are there?

  • If you want to become really strong in Baldur’s Gate 3, you need to combine classes. Only then will you really get the absolute maximum out of your character.
  • “Multiclassing” is a double-edged sword: you can either become really strong or really weak.
  • In a blog post, Larian has now shown which class combinations are the most popular and which may need more love (via Playstation.com).

These are the combinations: The developers show that according to their data, the combination of ranger and rogue is the most popular, closely followed by the fighter-barbarian. Both combos mainly rely on strong attacks without too many frills. Less popular are:

  • Paladin + Warlock
  • Rogue + Monk
  • Cleric + Wizard
  • Druid + Barbarian
  • Wizard + Warlock

The combinations are quite logical based on their pure stats, as they usually share at least one important attribute. However, they often have a disadvantage: they are either difficult to play or just don’t fit well together from a class fantasy perspective. Nevertheless, Larian swears that the builds are really good.

“Underrated builds”: Are they really good?

In general, we can say: Yes, indeed, the builds are strong combinations. We even recommend barbarian and druid in our best multiclass options for Baldur’s Gate 3.

Larian itself also gives an assessment of why the respective builds are supposed to be really good:

  • Paladin and Warlock in Pact of the Blade: the combination is not supposed to be that strong, especially since it only unfolds its potential late. The advantage is that you get as many attacks per round as a fighter, but cause magical damage, which bypasses many resistances.
  • Rogue and Monk: Monks are themselves an unpopular and difficult to use class. However, in combination with a thieving rogue, you can unleash up to 12 attacks per round. Perfect if you don’t want anyone else to play except you.
  • Cleric (Storm Domain) and Storm Wizard: this combination is among the strongest in the game. You can cause over 2,000 damage per round. Probably the build is played by so few simply because clerics are generally unpopular.
  • Druid and Barbarian: You are a bear. That is angry. And beats up enemies. That’s pretty much all there is to the build. You can take a lot of damage and tear everything apart. Little depth, but very entertaining.
  • Wizard and Warlock: the idea behind this build is that you can use the Warlock’s pact spells more often due to the wizard’s metamagic. Essentially the magical version of a barbarian. Bonus: Horrifying Ray is the strongest cantrip in the game.

For beginners, multiclassing is generally less advisable, but if you are already planning your second or third playthrough and want to try something new, these builds are excellent. With Lazarus, you can always reskill otherwise.

If you are still unsure about what you want to try out, you can find an assessment of all classes, including subclasses, in our tier list:

New shooter on Steam looked like Escape from Tarkov in colorful, will be discontinued 2 weeks after the beta, fires employees

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

Hyenas was to be the new extraction shooter from Creative Assembly and SEGA on Steam. Now, just before release, development has been halted due to “low profitability.” This comes with a job cut at the developer, costing several jobs.

What kind of shooter is this?

This is what happens now with Hyenas: In a statement from September 28, SEGA Sammy announces that there will be “structural adjustments” in the European locations (via segasammy.co.jp).

In this context, the development of Hyenas and other yet-to-be-announced titles should be halted. The extraction shooter was actually set to release sometime in 2023, but development has now been stifled.

As a reason, SEGA cites the “low profitability” of the European region. The official X account of Hyenas tweeted about it:

We know that our plans were ambitious and we knew we were diving headfirst into competition with the big players. […] We hope you remember with us the action-packed zero-G chaos and the persistent community of players that made us special.

How many positions will be affected and who would be impacted is not disclosed by the studio. Creative Assembly emphasizes, however, that it wants to assist those whose jobs are at risk in finding another position within the company, if possible.

The studio is also behind major titles like Total War: Warhammer 3, which recently received significant criticism for the latest DLC. In comments on X, it is stated that this could have been an opportunity to utilize the vacant positions to improve Total War.

  • In South Korea, all able-bodied men must serve for two years in the military. There are almost no exceptions, even millionaires and successful musicians like the guys from the K-Pop band BTS must interrupt their careers and complete their service.
  • The military service lasts about 2 years. For professional e-sport players in South Korea, conscription practically means the end of their careers. This happened to Khan, a former teammate of Faker, in 2021: He could no longer postpone his service and had to end his career early at the age of 26.
  • Faker is 27 and will turn 28 in May 2024 – thus, the career of the perhaps greatest LoL player would be over.

Whoever wins gold for South Korea is exempt from military service

This is his chance: Currently, the Asia Games are being held in China. In South Korea, there is a special regulation that athletes and classical musicians who enhance South Korea’s prestige can be exempted from military service.

Since football players have already been exempted from military service after winning gold at the Asia Games, it is assumed that e-sport players can also evade military service if they win gold at the Asia Games.

And at the Asia Games, LoL will play for gold for the first time.

South Korea beats China at the Asia Games, now clearly favorites for gold

Will Faker win gold? The LoL team from South Korea is exceptionally strong: They are competing with half the team from T1 and adding Zeus, Keria, and Faker to the 3 exceptional talents Chovy, Ruler, and Kanavi:

  • Ruler and Kanavi are both South Korean legionnaires playing for China’s best team, JD Gaming.
  • Chovy (22) is considered a possible successor to Faker, as the best mid-laner and LoL player in the world.

The only remotely serious competitor for South Korea was China, who displayed stars like jackeylove and knight.

South Korea and China faced each other this morning in the semi-finals, and South Korea managed to beat China 2-0.

Faker didn’t even have to play; instead, “our lord and savior” Chovy shone in the mid-lane.

LoL analyst Caedrel commented dryly on Twitter: Faker is about to just show up, play a game against Kazakhstan, win gold, grab the exemption from military service, and then fly home to the Worlds.

What happens next: If South Korea wins the final against the team “TPE” (in principle: Taiwan) tomorrow, the stars of South Korea should be exempt from military service.

Besides Faker, that would also affect his old rival, bot-laner Ruller, who is 24.

Twitch: A year ago, Böhmermann criticized MontanaBlack and Trymacs in ZDF because of FIFA – Did it make a difference?

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In September 2022, Jan Böhmermann criticized German Twitch streamers like Trymacs and MontanaBlack in his show ZDF Magazin Royale for enticing children and teenagers to gamble by opening loot boxes in FIFA. A year later, MontanaBlack currently has the world’s largest Twitch stream for EA FC 24. He opens loot boxes. However, Trymacs underwent a change of mind.

This was the story a year ago:

  • On September 16, 2022, satirist Jan Böhmermann addressed the issue of “loot boxes” in his ZDF show (via youtube).
  • In doing so, he appeared as a parody of the German Twitch streamer MontanaBlack and indirectly accused German streamers of enthusiastically buying and opening loot boxes live, contributing to the normalization of loot boxes. The implied accusation was that they make gambling appealing to children and teenagers.
  • MontanaBlack largely agreed with the criticism but stated that it was not his responsibility to change anything. That should be done by the government. Trymacs said that Böhmermann was clearly not referring to him. He had always been critical of EA. However, his chat corrected him: Yes, he was definitely meant.

Trymacs understood the criticism – MontanaBlack apparently did not

Did the call do anything?? Meanwhile, the successor to FIFA 22 and FIFA 23 has been released, the game EA Sports FC 24.

The world’s largest Twitch stream for the football game is once again MontanaBlack, who is currently opening loot boxes with Solution. His criticism of the system was that he complained that women are now included in the loot boxes. This reduces the chances of drawing male players, whom he wants because he can identify with them.

Also Trymacs, who had distanced himself from FIFA in the meantime, announced that he will show the game on Twitch. The 29-year-old has developed a critical attitude towards loot boxes.

He says he will show the football game, but only modes like Pro Clubs or Career Mode. He will no longer play the loot box mode “Ultimate Team.” That is a “complete online casino” for kids, according to Trymacs.

Gambling on Twitch is at an all-time high

What about gambling on Twitch otherwise?? Although Twitch officially banned casino streams at the provider Stake on Twitch in 2022, a year later gambling on Twitch is at a new all-time high.

In the English-speaking Twitch, however, they do not open packs in FIFA, but loot boxes in CS:GO. An earlier gaming star like Ninja is so enthusiastic that he even does it at weddings. DrDisrespect has also fallen for opening boxes.

Streamers who previously showed casinos, like xQc or Trainwreck, are now opening boxes in CS:GO. Here, too, it’s about losing tickets and high winnings.

Especially with the simultaneous release of Counter-Strike 2 and E Sports FC, which are only a few days apart, a new peak time for loot boxes and gambling on Twitch is likely to have begun.

Cyberpunk 2077: After Update 2.0 you can find a sad Easter egg from the Edgerunners anime

Sophia Weiss Sophia Weiss Reading time 3 minutes

With Patch 2.0, a lot has changed in Cyberpunk 2077. In addition to updates for the skill tree, the cyberware system, and general gameplay, CD Projekt Red has also included a new reference to the anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners – and it is incredibly sad.

How does the anime fit into CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk universe? Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is a ten-episode anime from Studio Trigger Inc. The series is canon to the game and takes place in the same Night City, but a few years before V’s adventures.

What is Cyberpunk: Edgerunners about? Street kid David Martinez struggles to get by in Night City as best as he can. To finally stand on his own two feet, he wants to become an “Edgerunner” and joins a mercenary group with the help of his new acquaintance Lucy. However, the mega-corporation Arasaka is after him: David has a very valuable implant with him that the corpos want back.

What’s the deal with the new Easter egg? David does not survive the last episode of the anime. There is speculation that recurring villain Adam Smasher has “stored” David’s personality as he did with Johnny Silverhand “. We might see David again in a future Cyberpunk anime or in Cyberpunk 2 in another form.

What Cyberpunk 2 is about is teased by the director of Cyberpunk 2077 in an interview:

Destiny 2: Season 22 forces players into hardcore challenges, even if they are not ready

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

In Destiny 2, there are new modes that come with each season, in addition to the well-known core activities. While older group activities have been kept simple, the new ones are more challenging, especially when random players without microphones take charge of the difficulty.

What challenge is it about? It is about the Altars of Summoning. This is a 3-player activity that has been newly introduced with Season 22. Players gather, perform rituals, summon enemies, and destroy them for Eris.

As easy as that sounds, not everyone has a 3-player squad to communicate with via a microphone. Much is done through LFG, a feature of the Bungie app, or on third-party sites, to find teammates for any possible activity.

Such group finders are usually designed to quickly pair Guardians for completing activities to grab loot. They often skip using microphones, as the goal is just to finish the activities quickly. As great as that may sound, this feature with “randoms” can be a pure nightmare for the new activity.

Did you miss the trailer for Season 22? Here we have the relevant video:

Start video
Destiny 2: Lightfall Season 22 – „Witch’s Season“

Silent decision-making leads to tougher activities

What is the problem? If you have found a squad, it’s off to the Altars of Summoning. You battle through the tasks until you can offer a sacrifice, and now the problem arises – if you are unlucky, one of your new teammates might take the lead and throw in a sacrifice that wasn’t discussed.

Especially if it is a ‘Powerful Sacrifice’, meaning one that activates the highest difficulty level, you now have a major problem. Without a good build and occasional communication, the relaxed trip turns into a nightmare.

This system works if you play with a squad you know that is well-equipped. But it’s difficult with a group of random players you’ve never seen or heard in your life.

How can such problems be avoided? The simplest method would be to use a headset or the group chat so that you don’t have to strain your vocal cords unnecessarily. However, it’s even easier if you specify in your LFG post which sacrifice you intend to tackle, so the wrong players don’t sign up.

Without these methods, the system tends to be obstructive and usually leads to frustrated faces. What experiences have you had with this system so far? Do you think Bungie should expand or change it? Let us know in the comments!

Twitch streamer Asmongold on the new leak: “If they do this, WoW is dead”

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Mini-DLCs, Battle Passes, and Paid Dungeons. A new leak regarding the next addon of World of Warcraft leaves even Twitch streamer Asmongold in despair.

There are just under 5 weeks left until BlizzCon 2023, and it is very likely that the next expansion of World of Warcraft will be announced – quite possibly by Chris Metzen himself.

However, in the run-up to a BlizzCon, there is always the “leak season.” Some people claim to already have concrete information regarding the next expansion or other insider news from Blizzard Entertainment. While there occasionally is a grain of truth in many leaks, many of them are simply made up.

Nevertheless, it is fun to engage with these supposed leaks and to consider a “what if?” scenario.

The well-known WoW streamer Asmongold does the same, discussing a leak in one of his latest videos.

WoW is supposedly shifting to a model like Destiny 2

What does the leak say? The leak, which originally comes from 4chan, not only talks about the next WoW expansion but also about other Blizzard products. In summary, the leak states:

  • Dragonflight is the remnant of a canceled mobile game developed by Chinese partners.
  • 11.0 will be announced at BlizzCon and will shift WoW to a “Free2Play” model with a seasonal battle pass. Additionally, players will need to purchase smaller expansions for money (such as individual dungeons and areas), rather than a large addon. This model is compared to Destiny 2, where you purchase access to a new season quarterly.
  • Overwatch 2 is being restructured behind the scenes and will relaunch as “Overwatch Next” and revert the largest changes.
  • Diablo IV has lost a significant portion of its original staff, and the seasonal team is taking over to conduct a “soft reboot” with an expansion.
  • Hearthstone is worse off than ever. Attempts to better monetize the game have failed.

What does Asmongold say about the “leaks”? Asmongold’s doubt regarding the veracity of these leaks is clearly evident. However, he goes through the ideas and takes them at “face value,” sharing his opinion on what would happen if what was mentioned were to occur – especially regarding the “micro-expansions” that would need to be purchased:

I believe if they do this, they would actually and unironically kill [World of Warcraft].

How likely is this? Quite unlikely. That Dragonflight was created by an “outsourced team in China” is already likely to raise some doubts, especially since the responsible developers have consistently released and presented parts of their work.

More about WoW can be found here:
State of Play: Where do the MMORPGs WoW, ESO, GW2, Black Desert and FF14 stand in Spring 2016?

von Cortyn

But the other details from the leak immediately raise doubts as well. That Blizzard wants to restructure Overwatch 2 into an “Overwatch Next” – essentially making it an “Overwatch 3” that reverts the changes made in the second installment – seems unbelievable. Blizzard should know that the game probably wouldn’t survive another “rebranding.”

All in all, it sounds too “fantastically negative” to be true – but we will learn more in a few weeks, when BlizzCon 2023 kicks off.

After 3 years, only a quarter of you have reached the highest level in Pokémon GO

Franzi Korittke Franzi Korittke Reading time 4 minutes

In Pokémon GO you can earn Level 50 for 3 years. We at MeinMMO wanted to know from you whether you have already reached the maximum level. We have summarized the results for you below.

Which level is it about? A goal for many players in Pokémon GO is to reach the maximum level. This was at Level 40 until the end of 2020 and was then raised to Level 50. We wanted to know from you whether you have already achieved it. How you voted will be shown to you below.

So many of you are already Level 50

This is how you voted: Discussions about Level 50 and the difficulty of the tasks on the way there are often held on social networks. For this reason, we wanted to know in our survey from September 20, 2023: Have you already reached Level 50 in Pokémon GO?

Up until today (as of September 28, 2023 at 12:15 PM), a total of 1,981 readers from MeinMMO voted as follows:

  • 74 % (1,464 votes) for No
  • 26 % (517 votes) for Yes

This means that just a little more than a quarter of the participants are Level 50. The majority are still at one of the other levels.

What are the reasons for that? In the comments under our survey on MeinMMO and in our Pokémon GO Facebook group, numerous trainers have spoken up and revealed which levels they are currently in. Some of them stated that they want to take it easy and therefore take their time.

But the tasks for Level 50 are also a recurring topic in the comments. Especially the challenges around the GO Battle League are a pain for many trainers. And the quests related to Team GO Rocket and the lucky trades are keeping players on their way to the maximum level. You can find the following comments about it:

  • AndyHer commented on MeinMMO: I am Level 43. I will want to continue to level up. As a solo player, it ends at Level 50 with lucky trades and place 10 of the GO Battle League. I don’t enjoy these battles. I will still do the ones for Level 44 or 45.
  • The user Ach Nee is taking it easy, as he reports on MeinMMO: Level 44. I have been playing since January 2020 […]. I don’t force anything and take things as they come. In my current friend list, I see a person who is “stuck” at Level 41 with 167 million XP – so there are people who play even more relaxed. The only thing I’m actually “worried” about is the max level of 3 Pokémon.
  • Our reader D writes on MeinMMO: I am now Level 46 and have just half of the XP for Level 50. I hardly did any raids for a long time. As a casual player, I don’t like the GO League and I’m not interested in networking. You also have to grind more. No desire. It doesn’t really bring anything. At Level 40, you’ve seen everything gameplay-wise.
  • Stephan D. explains on Facebook: Level 48 and I’m stuck on lucky trades…
  • Jessica M. is struggling with Team Rocket, as she reveals on Facebook: No, because I can’t defeat the Rocket bosses.

Up to Level 40, you only need to collect a lot of experience points for leveling up. What additional tasks you have to solve afterwards can be seen in the following post:

von Patrick Freese

First trainers are eagerly awaiting new levels

While a large part of the players is still on the way to Level 50 and dealing with the numerous tasks, some players can hardly wait for the maximum level to be raised again.

Some of them have already reached Level 50 in 2021 and are still diligently collecting XP. They hope that the maximum level will soon rise to Level 60. But even players who have not yet reached the highest level would like more content. They write in the comments in our Facebook group in response to our question:

  • Matthias G.: Yes, I am, and I am diligently collecting the [experience] points.
  • Sebastian K.: A long time now. I think it’s time to raise the level to 60.
  • Ronny W.: Not yet, but close. Only 2.5 million XP left. Should be doable by the beginning of October. It would be cool if there were higher levels starting next year.

Whether new levels will indeed be introduced in Pokémon GO soon remains to be seen. If there is any further information, you will find out on MeinMMO.

What is the importance of the level? The trainer level is fundamentally only crucial up to a maximum of Level 40, as this also depends on the level of your monsters. The higher your own level, the more you can level up your monsters. This is important when you want to use your Pokémon for battles.

In addition, from Level 31, you can collect corresponding XL candies to bring your monsters to Level 50. To secure such Pokémon in your collection, you do not necessarily have to reach Level 50 first. From Level 41, you benefit particularly from new features, such as the routes function, as these are often rolled out to these players first.

Are you also one of the trainers who have already reached Level 50? Do you wish for more levels? Or do you approach it more relaxed? Feel free to write it to us in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers about it.

A trainer goes from Level 43 to 44 without catching a single Pokémon. We show how he did it.

„My FIFA heart was broken“: Everyone shows EA FC 24 on Twitch, only one German streamer is not allowed to participate

Thomas Dummer Thomas Dummer Reading time 2 minutes

Solution, a German streamer, has once again been ignored by EA Sports and did not receive early access to EA FC 24, even though he has been streaming FIFA for 10 years. What causes disappointment for the content creator gives his colleagues, including MontanaBlack, reason to strike again.

What is the background? Solution is a well-known streamer in Germany who frequently collaborates with the most successful internet personalities like MontanaBlack or EliasN97. In 2020, Solution had already complained that, unlike his colleagues, he did not receive exclusive content creator early access for the new FIFA, which would have allowed him to play before the early access period.

Now the story has repeated itself, leading to much laughter in the streaming scene. To learn how the reactions looked and what Solution himself says about his situation, you can find out here.

“In the ultimate hole”: Monte ridicules Solution on Twitch

How are Solution’s colleagues reacting to the exclusion? Those who suffer do not need to worry about mockery. This principle also applied to the reactions to EA Sports’ renewed ignoring of Solution.

Especially streaming buddy MontanaBlack was notably amused and poked the wound once more. On Twitch, he hastily added a picture of Solution to his stream at the bottom right; under the pretense that his brother was supposed to be present.

However, the picture quickly revealed its true intent, as it showed Solution’s face behind bars. A reference to the fact that Solution must spend time behind bars while his colleagues can actively stream and open packs.

While MontanaBlack was able to stream EA FC 24 earlier, he has a problem with the expanded player pool in EA FC 24 due to women.

Crew partner MckyTV also felt the need to comment on Solution’s situation:

He reacted to a tweet from user IToweliee, who dug up a three-year-old video that Solution posted on his Instagram account. In it, he visibly speaks to his followers and appeals to them to relay his request for early access to FIFA to EA.

In the tweet regarding the video, the headline also states, “Here we go again. 3 years later and still no content creator access. HAHAHA.” When MckyTV reads this title, he cannot help but laugh mockingly.

Particularly bitter for Solution is that he apparently is not perceived as a content creator. For now, he only has the role of a viewer.

Other streamers have been significantly more active. For example, the guys from TisiSchubech allowed themselves to be trolled by EA in one of their first pack openings in EA FC 24.

What the “victim” has to say about his friends’ slapbacks, we will reveal to you below.

“I just couldn’t”: Solution responds

How does Solution handle his situation and the comments? The man whose “FIFA heart” is broken has returned after a brief streaming break. He first apologizes for his self-imposed forced break but reaffirms his decision: “I just couldn’t.”

In this context, he emphasizes that for him, the FIFA release is not only the biggest event on Twitch, but also in general the biggest.

It wasn’t just the fact that everyone got to stream that tormented him, but also the mockery and ridicule from his colleagues.

By now, the tormented streamer can indeed play with the regular early access to EA FC 24. You can find all the information about the start dates and when you can play here.

Maybe this year Solution can finally be in the spotlight of EA so that next year he can finally have a content creator code for him.

Starfield: How to quickly and easily get powerful weapons, but you’re cheating just a little bit

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 2 minutes

In Starfield you can use a wide range of different firearms that give you a great advantage. We will reveal a small glitch that allows you to quickly get really strong weapons without putting yourself in danger.

How does this trick work? It’s actually very simple:

  • Build an outpost of the type “Display“ on a planet.
  • Build a weapons case in the building menu there. You have three options to choose from: A small case contains pistols, a medium case contains rifles, and a large case gives you heavy weapons. They all cost the same – 2 Titanium and 1 Polymer.
  • Save the game.
  • Load the game save.

The trick here is that the weapon cases should actually be empty. But if you save the game and reload, suddenly there are weapons and ammunition inside. With a bit of luck, even legendary weapons. Of course, it’s much more fun when you build several weapon cases at once.

Now you have several options. Theoretically, you could reload the game save until the right weapons are included. Or you loot the boxes, sell useless contents, and continue playing until you have gathered new materials to build new weapon cases.

By the way, if you don’t enjoy opening the boxes, you can simply delete the entire outpost after you have reloaded the game. This way, all the contents of the boxes automatically end up in your ship’s storage. If it’s full, they even come to your inventory.

Starfield: 5 useful skills that you should definitely unlock at the start

Yes, you are cheating, but who cares?

Is the trick legal? You are basically exploiting a bug that is present in the game. However, since Starfield is a single-player game, you are not taking anything from anyone or gaining any unfair advantage.

You can even completely forgo this method and go directly into the console to cheat weapons or even activate a God mode. How to do this and what codes are available, we will reveal here:

In addition to the cheats and small tricks, there are also mods that bring a lot of advantages:

Fan shows: Companions in Baldur’s Gate 3 would rather be killed than disappointed

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 3 minutes

Companions are an important feature in Baldur’s Gate 3. The NPCs assist you in combat, have their own stories, and can even become permanent partners. One player has tried to figure out how to quickly mess things up with the companions – with surprising results.

Spoiler Warning: We discuss topics from the companions’ stories, which you may only learn about late in the game.

That’s why it’s important what companions think of you:

This is what the player found out: A user on Reddit uses a script to determine how much rejection (or more correctly: “negative approval”) certain actions generate with the respective NPCs.

Although the script is made for version 1.0, it is still supposed to be accurate. The player has limited their focus to decisions that have the most negative impact. Interestingly, killing a companion doesn’t show up.

Murder only brings -10 approval, at least as Dark Desire. It doesn’t seem to be that bad for your companions to stab them with a knife. Perhaps because Lazarus can revive them anyway. However, they struggle more with other decisions:

The worst decisions in terms of approval
  • With Astarion, you can lose a maximum of 45 approval if you cast “control undead” on him. -15 occurs if you speak poorly about his sex life or refuse to be transformed by him after he has ascended.
  • Shadowheart loses 20 approval if you hand her over to Viconia – which is irrelevant at that point.
  • Jaheira and Minsc each receive -50 approval points if you offer one of them or both as a sacrifice at the tribunal in the Temple of Bhaal.
  • Gale cares 30 points less about you if you repeatedly deny him magical items or if you play as Astarion and deny that you are a vampire.
  • A harsh -100 points deduction occurs with Karlach if you say after the first sex with her that it was a mistake.
  • There are additional decisions that generate considerable dissent. We have only picked the strongest ones. You can find the entire list on Reddit.

With enough approval from companions, there are even steamy scenes:

“Karlach hits hard”

Fans are discussing under the post about the various decisions. In particular, the drastic loss of trust from Karlach apparently hits the players hard. One user says: when he decided against an initiated romance with the tiefling woman at one point, her subsequent speech hurt quite a bit.

Many find her reaction understandable. People who are terminally ill apparently know no greater fear than being abandoned by their partner. Karlach, through her hellish machine, is presumably in a similar situation.

In addition, it comes that Karlach was already betrayed earlier by one of the antagonists in the game. By the way, there is also a 20 points deduction if you kill the corresponding opponent without taking her along. This may also happen through a bug if she is present.

There are other decisions, such as killing Gale’s cat, which results in a relative amount that is 10% of his approval. However, whoever does that will likely already be so low in esteem with Gale that it doesn’t count among the harshest decisions.

That it’s precisely Karlach who impacts the community so much is, however, no big surprise. The barbarian is among the most beloved companions but has an unfortunate ending:

Baldur’s Gate 3: Player asks “Who is actually Baldur and why does he have a gate?”

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Why is it called Baldur’s Gate? Who was Baldur and why did he have a gate? We answer that in this article.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is not only one of the largest but also one of the most successful role-playing games of all time. The story surrounding Mind Flayers, the Sword Coast, and Baldur’s Gate will remain in the memory of most players for years to come.

But an important question is raised by GGMudkip in the game’s subreddit: Who the hell is Baldur and why does he own a gate?

Spoiler warning: This article contains significant spoilers for Baldur’s Gate 3, particularly Act 3 of the game.

The question of who Baldur actually is and why he had a gate is answered in several places in the game – at least if you complete a certain questline, which can easily be missed. Alternatively, you only need to listen to the background music to find out the answer.

In response to the question in the subreddit, GGMudkip receives many answers that we will briefly summarize here.

Baldur’s real name was Balduran and he was a sailor who lived as an adventurer and trader. According to legend, he was the first to cross the sea between Faerun and Anchorome, bringing many riches with him. He returned these riches to his hometown “Gray Harbor” and shared them with family and friends. However, he invested a large portion of the gold in the protection of the village. He commissioned people to build a large wall to protect Gray Harbor from repeated attacks by Orcs and Barbarians.

Only after Balduran had left the village again was the large wall completed and named in his honor “Baldur’s Gate” – Baldur’s Gate.

After the wall was completed, Gray Harbor continued to grow, attracting craftsmen and traders who found a safe place to pursue their trades.

Baldur's Gate 3 Emperor Balduran
Allow me to introduce Balduran. A little more tentacly than before.

As the village gradually grew into a town, it was simply renamed after the gate that had protected it for so long – Baldur’s Gate.

There were many rumors and legends about Balduran – further heroic deeds of him, but also his death.

However, it is important to note that he did not die, but returned to the Sword Coast later and was captured in the Towers of the Moonrise. There, the Mind Flayers infected him with a larva that later transformed him into an Illithid.

In the game, you meet Balduran as “the Emperor” – he is your nocturnal visitor and appears to you in a dream. For even after his transformation into a Mind Flayer, he continues to try to protect his city, even if the purity of his motivation may sometimes be called into question.

Song in the game spoils everything: Those who played attentively and also paid attention to the background music of Baldur’s Gate 3 should have heard a rather interesting song at the latest in the tavern of Baldur’s Gate. Because in the “Song Of Balduran” the entire biography of Balduran is sung – including his transformation into a Mind Flayer and the appearance of our group of heroes:

In the lyrics of the song, it says.

O, sing a song of Balduran
Who founded Baldur’s Gate
Empire golden built on trade
Could not avert his fate

When three, though dead, assailed his port
Transformed, he fell their thrall
Succumbed as threat from nether years
Arose to conquer all

Now hope is gone, or so it seems
But game’s not over yet
New cards are drawn, new hands are played
Newcomers place a bet

A knave, a wizard, devil, gith
The odds are cast anew
And Baldur’s fate now turns upon
The whims of fortune’s few

That the song is already played in Baldur’s Gate should probably be understood as an Easter egg, after all, the bards cannot possibly know about the events at this point.

Did you know who “Baldur” is and why he has a gate?

Have you seen “Baldur’s Gate 3” as a FRIENDS opening?

Papaplatte explains what is going wrong in German Twitch: Streamers are afraid to show gaming

Lydia Lydia Reading time 2 minutes

Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller (26) is one of the biggest streamers on German Twitch and has been streaming for 10 years. However, a current phenomenon is bothering him: the Just Chatting category has taken over.

What bothers Papaplatte on Twitch? In a recent stream, Papaplatte spoke about how Reactions and the “Just Chatting” category on Twitch have taken over. The streamer does not exclude himself in this regard, as he would also regularly show this content.

Papaplatte emphasizes that he does not want to criticize his streaming colleagues: they are indeed good content and yes, that is what people want to see. In his opinion, however, the ratio between Just Chatting and gaming content is currently unbalanced.

Papaplatte says he has to force himself to play games

What is the problem with Just Chatting? The category originated in late 2018 from the IRL category and has been consistently the most-watched “game” on Twitch since 2020, even though it is occasionally displaced by current releases and events.

The chatting category allows streamers to interact with their viewers without having to play games. Since many fans are interested in being close to their favorite Twitch streamers, the category is very popular. Some streamers are almost exclusively in Just Chatting, while others start their streams with it before switching to a game.

However, many viewers see Just Chatting as a departure from the gaming focus that Twitch originally had. In particular, reaction streams that fall under this category are often criticized for being perceived as “lazy” and streamers enriching themselves on the content of others.

Why do streamers show Just Chatting? There are certainly various reasons for the popularity of the category among Twitch streamers. According to Papaplatte, many content creators in his environment are downright afraid to leave the category: because then they would immediately lose viewers. Hardly anyone would be interested in gaming anymore.

The streamer regrets this, although he says he can understand it, especially for smaller streamers: “If you’re dropping from 3,000 to 1,000 instead of from 19,000 to 15,000, [then] it suddenly matters whether you can pay your rent.”

We have embedded a recap of the stream for you here:

For Papaplatte, there is no proper explanation for the phenomenon. He rejects the comment of a viewer that simply no good games have been released for a long time by referring to the recently released Soulslike Lies of P.

However, the Twitch streamer admits that it would also cost him effort to leave the “Just Chatting” category, even though he actually feels like playing games more. He has to force himself a little, says Papaplatte.

von Johanna

What do the “Just Chatting” streamers think? Still in the stream, Papaplatte receives a call from the friendly streamer Stegi, who is actually known for Minecraft. However, in the last 30 days, he has predominantly been in Just Chatting. Stegi’s statistics on the analysis site TwitchTracker had actually prompted Papaplatte to bring up the topic.

The streamer denies that he shows Just Chatting only “for the numbers”; he simply enjoys it the most. However, Papaplatte counters: Maybe he only enjoys it because it is the most successful.

Not all streamers, however, benefit from Just Chatting. MontanaBlack, the former number 1 in German Twitch, has lost almost half of his viewers since shifting his focus away from gaming: German Twitch streamer MontanaBlack loses 43% of his viewers in 180 days

3 formations and tactics from professionals for the start of FC 24

What are these formations? We show you 3 formations from FIFA professionals, each pursuing different playing approaches and providing you a foundation for your teams. So see which tactic fits your playstyle and your cards.

4-2-2-2 – Balanced formation with close offense

This is what makes the formation special: The 4-2-2-2 is a very balanced setup, which currently finds many advocates in FC 24 again. It offers a stable four-man defense and brings a strong and compact attack with the two attacking midfielders and the double striker.

Use these tactics and instructions: BeneCR7x from VfL Wolfsburg (via YouTube) relies on these settings: 

  • Defensive
    • Balanced
    • 40 Width
    • 55 Depth
  • Offensive
    • Balanced
    • Direct Passes
    • 63 Width
    • Players in Box: 5
    • Corners: 1
    • Free Kicks: 2

Also change the following instructions (all others remain on default)

  • RB and LB: Stay back while attacking, Run type: Overlapping
  • Both CAM: For crosses into the box
  • Both CDM: Stay back while attacking, Cover the center – In case of defensive problems: Block passing lanes
  • Both ST: Strengthen defense, Overlap defense

4-2-3-1 – With stable defense and offense to success

This is what makes the formation special: The 4-2-3-1 is a slightly more defensive formation, whose specialty is countering the opponent. You play here with only one striker, who is however supported by 3 attacking midfielders.

The best approach with this formation is to manage the game and switch to offense at the right moment with pace.

Use these tactics and instructions: STYLO from the Fokus Clan (via YouTube) currently relies on the 4-2-3-1 and the following settings: 

  • Defensive
    • Balanced
    • 45 Width
    • 69 Depth
  • Offensive
    • Balanced
    • Direct Passes
    • 50 Width
    • Players in Box: 7
    • Corners: 1
    • Free Kicks: 2

Also change the following instructions (all others remain on default)

  • RB and LB: Stay back while attacking, Run type Overlapping
  • Central CAM: All freedoms
  • Both CB: Stay back while attacking,
  • Outer CAMs: For crossing into the box, Pulling wide
  • Both CDM: Stay back while attacking, Cover the center
  • Goalkeeper: Sweeper, Cross catcher

4-2-4 – With brute force to catch up a deficit

This is what makes the formation special: If you find yourself behind in a match with not much time left on the clock, then STYLO recommends this formation. With it, you throw everything forward, neglect your defense, and do everything to catch up.

Use these tactics and instructions: The professional from FOKUS relies on the settings for a comeback:

  • Defensive
    • Constant Pressure
    • 50 Width
    • 90 Depth
  • Offensive
    • Fast Build Up
    • Direct Passes
    • 50 Width
    • Players in Box: 9
    • Corners: 4
    • Free Kicks: 5

Also change the following instructions (all others remain on default)

  • Wingers: Stay forward, For crosses into the box
  • Striker 1: Central orientation, Overlap defense, Stay forward
  • Striker 2: Central orientation, Passing option, Stay forward
  • Both CM: Cover center, Aggressive Interception
  • RB and LB: Join attacks, Aggressive interception, Reverse
  • Goalkeeper: Sweeper, Cross catcher

Of course, there are many more formations that could be worthwhile – depending on what playstyle you pursue.
