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.
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.
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.
More on the criticism from Jan Böhmermann and the show back then can be read here:
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.
Where can you currently watch the anime? Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is currently fully available on Netflix , so you can watch David and Lucy’s adventures completely in one go.
Cyberpunk Edgerunners: Fans of the RPG epic celebrate the Netflix trailer, but also hope for a cool story
Warning Spoilers: The following contains heavy spoilers for the end of Cyberpunk: Edgerunner and light spoilers for the main story of Cyberpunk 2077! Everyone gone who doesn’t want to be spoiled? Good.
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.
With Update 2.0, David now has a proper memorial in Night City.
Where can you find the memorial? Your destination is the Columbarium in Westbrook. Travel to the namesake fast travel spot and enter the building across the street. Walk down the main aisle to the end and look to the right. There you will find the memorials for David and even one for his mother.
The memorial is located at the back right of the Columbarium.
Under the memorial it says:
You never took me to the moon, but you were still with me there.
The text is a reference to one of the most emotional scenes in the anime, where Lucy and David spend time together in a moon simulation.
Have you found the memorial yet? Have you seen the anime? We are curious!
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!
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.

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 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:
However, with cheats, you always have a small residual risk that they could completely ruin your game save. You don’t have this risk with this weapon trick. You can also continue to earn achievements, which is not the case with a modified game save.
In addition to the cheats and small tricks, there are also mods that bring a lot of advantages:
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:
However, if approval decreases, it may happen that the NPC permanently leaves your party. This happens with some companions when you want to recruit Minthara.
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.
With enough approval from companions, there are even steamy scenes:
Start video

“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:
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.
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:

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?
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.
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.
Are you looking for a strong formation and tactics in EA FC 24? We show you 3 good formations to start.
Finding the perfect formation and tactics in EA FC 24 is anything but easy. Everyone approaches the game differently and has their own play style. Some prefer to dribble through the middle, especially with the help of the new R1 dribbling, while others prefer the path through the wingers.
There is no definite best formation. One should see what suits oneself best.
However, a few tips can make your decision-making easier. We have looked around on YouTube and show you a few tactics from professionals who have shared their tips there.
In detail, we show you the following 3 formations:
4-2-2-2

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
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

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

If you are looking for the best talents for your EA FC 24 career, take a look here:
In EA FC 24, you can add a special style to your game with flair passes. However, the unique pass animations not only look cool but can also be quite useful in certain situations. We will show you how to execute the special pass.
What is the flair pass? Flair passes are passes that differ in execution from regular passes. Your player uses all possible football techniques available to make the pass. Whether it is a backheel pass, a rabona cross, or a scorpion kick.
We will reveal which players can execute the flair pass and ultimately, how to perform the pass.

Can all players in EA FC 24 play a flair pass?
Do I need a playstyle to play flair passes? There are no prerequisites for executing this special type of pass. However, it is beneficial to play flair passes with the corresponding flair playstyle, as this gives the passes more precision and generally provides more stylish variations to pass to teammates.
Flair is a playstyle in the top category of ball control. About 1,500 players in Ultimate Team have this playstyle in EA FC 24. If you have a player in your ranks who shows flair in their playstyles, they can apply even more unique pass animations in the game.
Additionally, there are 9 players in Ultimate Team who possess the special “Flair+-” playstyle. These players differ from regular flair players in that they can deliver the special passes to teammates with unique precision.
A prominent example of the “Flair+” playstyle is skilled technician Paulo Dybala from AS Roma.
Here you see the player along with the golden playstyle flair+.
So much for the theory. Now let’s move on to executing the flair pass.
How to perform the flair pass in EA FC 24
How to execute the flair pass: As complicated as the passes may seem in the game, their execution with the controller is quite simple. To perform the flair pass, you just need to hold down the L2 button on the Playstation or the LT button on the Xbox while playing a pass.
The player takes most of the decision away from you regarding which type of flair pass you make. However, you can influence whether you want to play a high flair pass with the cross button (Square button on the PS or the X button on the Xbox) or whether the flair pass should be flat through the normal pass button (X button on the PS or A button on the Xbox).
Situationally, your player selects the appropriate animation to deliver the pass with that special something.
Flair passes are primarily nice to look at, but they are not just a decorative element, and we will show you that.
What do flair passes bring me in the game? Flair passes give your passes a special touch and are fun to watch. But especially backheel passes are also extremely effective, as they save you from having to position your player in the direction of the pass first, for example, when your teammate is behind you.
So with flair passes, you save time and are less predictable. In some situations, it is precisely these surprising passes that give you the decisive advantage.
Moreover, with flair players, you can process passes directly at any body height and redirect balls. Especially when you find yourself in pressing situations and want to process and play the balls quickly, the flair pass is a surprising element to free yourself from the opponent’s pressure.
Now you have everything important about the flair pass at a glance. We recommend that you try out the different possibilities best in the training arena or in squad battles matches.
Counter-Strike 2 is finally here and has more players just hours after its release than titles like DOTA 2, Apex Legends, and GTA V combined.
On September 27th, it finally happened, Counter-Strike 2 was officially released. Many fans had been waiting for months and can now finally dive into Valve’s tactical shooter. This is also reflected in the player numbers on Steam.
How successful is CS2 shortly after release? By midnight CET, Counter-Strike 2 had more players than the next 9 games combined, reaching 1.191 million concurrent players. The nine subsequent games reached only 1.072 million at midnight.
Here are the player numbers of the top 10 games on Steam at midnight in overview via Steamdb:
Counter-Strike 2: 1,191,143
DOTA 2: 310,386
Baldur’s Gate 3: 203,315
Cyberpunk 2077: 163,200
Starfield: 96,094
PUBG: 92,585
Apex Legends: 84,553
Grand Theft Auto V: 53,853
Unturned: 50,971
Naraka: Bladepoint: 17,125
Even on the morning after the release, CS2’s numbers look good. The shooter reaches 1,136 million players at 10:30 (via Steamdb).

Counter-Strike 2: Valve once again impresses with the launch trailer
How should the numbers be interpreted? The player numbers indicate a successful release, especially when compared to how many players Counter-Strike: Global Offensive had at a particular time in the days leading up to the release.
The day before, on the evening of September 26th, CS2’s predecessor had 832,839 players at midnight. In direct comparison, CS2 had about 300,000 more players.
However, it is expected that the player numbers of CS2 will continue to rise throughout the day. Counter-Strike typically reaches its daily peak between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM.
However, the player counts of the nine titles that CS2 left behind at midnight will also rise. DOTA usually reaches over 600,000 in the afternoon, PUBG over 350,000, and Apex Legends up to 400,000. Also, for Naraka: Bladepoint, midnight is a dead time – player numbers regularly exceed 200,000 in the afternoon.
How much can CS2’s numbers still increase? CS:GO usually reaches 1.2 to 1.4 million players in the afternoon. The peak of the past 30 days was even at 1.556 million.
If CS2 can also increase its numbers by 300,000 compared to CS:GO in the afternoon, we can expect up to 1.7 million players. The all-time peak of Counter-Strike is currently at 1.8 million and dates back to May 2023. It’s quite possible that we will see a new player count record with CS2.
Streamer DrDisrespect reportedly knew before the release of CS2 that the tactical shooter would be released on September 27th:
With Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises, the Batman trilogy is essentially complete. However, if there were another story to tell about Batman, lead actor Christian Bale would be willing to don the cape of the bat superhero again. But he has one condition for the film.
What about Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne?
Christian Bale played the lead role of Bruce Wayne in all three parts of the Batman trilogy (2005, 2008, and 2012).
After the trilogy of The Dark Knight, other actors such as Ben Affleck took over the role.
Since then, Christian Bale has taken a trip into the Marvel universe, appearing in Thor: Love and Thunder.
Currently, there is no new Batman film known in which Christian Bale is supposed to participate again. All subsequent films have not dealt with the Dark Knight trilogy, which is essentially complete in the three films.
However, if there is still a story to tell about Batman, Christian Bale would agree to come back, but only if a specific condition is met.
With this video from Nerdkultur, you will see the beginning of The Dark Knight with completely different eyes:

Afterwards you will see the beginning of THE DARK KNIGHT with different eyes… – Nerd culture
What condition would need to be fulfilled?Bale explains to ScreenRant that he would wear Batman’s cape again. But for that, Christopher Nolan would have to ask him personally, who took on the role of director in the The Dark Knight trilogy:
I had a pact with Chris Nolan. We said: ‘Hey, look. Let’s make three films if we are lucky enough to do that. And then let’s leave it at that. Let’s not linger too long.’ In my opinion, it would be something special if Chris Nolan ever said to himself: ‘You know what, I have another story to tell.’ And if he wanted to tell that story with me, then I would be in.
Christian Bale and Christopher Nolan had vowed to make the trilogy. However, Bale also makes it clear that they intended to leave it there in order to focus on new projects afterward.
So far, however, there has been no request for Bale to slip back into the bat suit. Additionally, Christopher Nolan is no longer focusing on DC films but on completely different blockbusters, including the following films:
However, it is not entirely out of the question: For The Flash, George Clooney and Michael Keaton returned to their roles as Batman. The two originally played the role of Bruce Wayne in 1989 and 1997.
Only on Tuesday, CD Projekt Red released the DLC Phantom Liberty for Cyberpunk 2077. In an interview with PC Gamer, Game Director Gabe Amatangelo revealed what the future holds for Cyberpunk.
What happened? Last week, CD Projekt Red released the major update 2.0 for Cyberpunk 2077. The free patch brought numerous quality-of-life updates as well as complete adjustments and overhauls of the game systems. This week, they launched the expansion Phantom Liberty with new story content and a completely new district for Night City.
Following the DLC release, Cyberpunk 2077 Director Gabe Amatangelo gave PC Gamer an interview where he discussed the future after the expansion.
Start video
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty — Official Trailer
What does Gabe Amatangelo say about the future of Cyberpunk 2077? Only smaller patches will come after 2.0 and Phantom Liberty, including bug fixes. Larger content updates like the DLC are not planned.
2.0 and Phantom Liberty are the last major updates. We will do a bit more, but those were the last big ones.
Gabe Amatangelo in an interview with PC Gamer on 27.09.2023
When asked what the team plans after the last minor updates, Amatangelo replied:
After that, it will be Cyberpunk 2. Or “Orion” should I say. Whatever we ultimately end up calling [the game].
Gabe Amatangelo in an interview with PC Gamer on 27.09.2023
What happens next with Cyberpunk 2077? As Amatangelo announced, there will only be smaller patches from now on. CD Projekt Red will forego large content updates. Phantom Liberty will thus also remain the only DLC for the game.
What do you think about the announcement? Were you hoping for more content for Cyberpunk 2077? Are you playing the game (again)? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
However, we likely have not seen the last of V, Johnny Silverhand, and co. CD Projekt Red loves to embed Easter eggs related to their IPs in their games. In Phantom Liberty, you can also find new elements from Witcher 3 Wild Hunt.

For hunters, there is finally a raid buff in World of Warcraft. This means hunters will soon feel significantly more useful – and everyone will deal more damage.
The notion that hunters are incompetent is a cliché as old as World of Warcraft itself. However, in one regard, this is not just a prejudice in Dragonflight, but a reality: hunters are incapable of contributing a unique buff that benefits the entire group – because they simply have none.
What was the problem? Every class in World of Warcraft has some peculiarity that makes them useful in a raid and bestows advantages upon others. Priests have Power Word: Fortitude for increased stamina, mages bring Arcane Intellect, and druids provide everyone with additional versatility.
Hunters have nothing (besides silly names for their pets).
Apart from the turtle aspect, which allowed hunters to briefly become immune to remove ground effects or bombs without harm, hunters had no exclusive buff for the raid group. Alone regarding their raid utility, hunters were basically a “second-choice” class – because why would you bring a hunter when all other classes bring a useful group buff?
Hunters will soon have a meaningful place in the raid – just like all other classes.
What kind of buff is it? The Mark of the Hunter will change with Patch 10.2. When the Mark of the Hunter is applied to a target, that target will take 5% more damage as long as it has over 80% health. Additionally, the Mark of the Hunter will have a cooldown of 20 seconds in combat, with no cooldown outside of combat. Furthermore, multiple hunters cannot stack this buff.
Depending on the boss fight, this could become quite an important buff. While the first 20% of a fight is usually the easiest part, there are exceptions. Additionally, there are bosses, such as Odin in the Halls of Valor, who last only from 100% to 90% health – in such a case, the 5% buff would be active for the entire duration of the fight.
Considering an average boss fight, the Mark of the Hunter should mean around 1% more damage for all characters – in addition to the bonus that the first phase of a fight is likely to be particularly quick.
Whether this buff will be enough to give hunters a more regular spot in raids remains to be seen. However, it is at least an important first step for hunters to bring something unique to the raid that benefits the entire group.
What do you think of this buff? A good solution to make hunters more useful? Or would you have had another idea?
Many players see great potential in Starfield, especially with their own creations, called modifications. One developer recently stated that he wants to punish those who simply steal his mods without paying for them.
Games from Bethesda almost always thrive on players and fans sitting down to design their own creations. So-called modifications bring new features or possibilities into the game. There are already recommended modifications for Starfield that you should take a look at.
A developer of such mods has now explained that he does not want to accept it if people simply steal his mods for which he charges money. This is now reported by the British magazine PCGamer.
“They will never know if they found them all”
What is the problem? The modder PureDark offers a modification with DLSS 3.0 for Starfield. For this, he charges 5 US dollars on Patreon. However, he is not pleased that people are simply distributing his paid modification for free. He only offers the stripped-down version with DLSS 2.0 for free.
In an interview, he explained that he wants to punish those who would simply use his mods without paying for them. For this, he wants to intentionally add “mines,” which he likely means as bugs:
From now on, I will incorporate hidden mines into all my mods to make it harder for these people. They may be able to find and bypass some of them, but they will never know if they found them all. The cracked mods will sometimes work, sometimes not… they won’t even know if it’s a bug or if they are just using the cracked version, and they will never receive the support that I always offer my subscribers.
What are the reactions like? Very varied. On one hand, there are people who appreciate his work and defend him accordingly. Because 5 euros on Patreon is really not much to pay for his work.
On the other hand, there are plenty of people who argue that DRM and other protective measures have no place in a mod for a game. Such DRM measures have harmed the developer more than they have helped. Now threatening with methods would be the wrong way.
How things will proceed now remains to be seen. Moreover, some explain that there are more than enough free options that do not harass players with DRM or intentional bugs.
How far one can go with good modding skills has now been demonstrated by a developer. She was so good that she was hired by Bethesda:
In Pokémon GO there were recently problems with Shiny Zapdos in the raids. Now Niantic has spoken up and wants to compensate the trainers for the error. We at MeinMMO show you what to expect as an apology.
What is Niantic apologizing for? Every weekend, special Crypto Raids of level 5 take place in Pokémon GO, where you can encounter a selected legendary Pokémon. In September, Zapdos was the focus, which could even be caught in its shiny form with a bit of luck.
On September 16, however, there was an error, which is why the shiny form of the monster was not active. Niantic has now apologized for this over their X account (formerly Twitter) and announced compensation.

Pokémon GO compensates you with a replacement event & items
What compensation is there? As can be gleaned from the developers’ tweet, there will be a kind of replacement event as an apology. The Raids with Crypto Zapdos are to be repeated at the beginning of October. These can then be used by all players, regardless of whether they participated in raids on September 16 or not.
Those who participated in the affected raids can also pick up a free bundle with 3 Premium Battle Passes in the in-game shop until October 8, 2023, at 22:00 local time. Specifically, Niantic writes:
As the shiny Crypto Zapdos was not available on September 16, a free item bundle with three Premium Battle Passes will be available in the shop from Thursday, September 28 at 10:00 local time until Sunday, October 8 at 22:00 local time for all trainers who conducted a raid during the affected time. Crypto Zapdos will be available in Crypto Raids on October 6. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
When does the apology event take place? On Friday, October 6, 2023, you should according to Niantic get another opportunity to secure shiny Zapdos in the Crypto Raids. Thus, corresponding raids will again be found at the gyms on that day.
Why is the replacement date so important? Unlike the other raids, the Crypto Raids of level 5 only take place on weekends. For this reason, there is only a limited number of days on which you can even secure the raid boss.
Additionally, trainers can only play these raids on site, participation via remote raids is not possible. This requires corresponding arrangements in the local community. Furthermore, with the change of month, a raid boss change also takes place. In October, you can encounter Crypto Lavados in the regular Crypto Raids of level 5.
What does the community say about it? The compensation is not well received among trainers. This is mainly due to the number of free raid passes that affected trainers are receiving as compensation.
Some played more than three Zapdos raids on that day and are now upset that they only receive so few passes as reimbursement despite the fault. Whether Niantic will make adjustments here remains to be seen.
What do you think of Niantic’s compensation? Did you play on that day and were hoping for a shiny? And will you take advantage of the replacement date? Feel free to let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers about it.

With the new expansion, another way to obtain the mount Skywhisper has been introduced in Guild Wars 2. In this guide, we reveal how to do it.
What do you need before the collection? To complete the collection, you must have the latest expansion Secrets of the Obscure. Additionally, you’ll need to gather some materials that you can earn beforehand:
27 Gold
12 Charged Quartz Crystals – You obtain these when you have 25 Quartz Crystals in your inventory and charge them at a place of power (hero points where you can channel). However, this can only be done once per day, so it’s best to start right away!
24 pieces of Wild Meat – Obtained from drops or the Trading Post
60 Ectoplasm Balls – Obtained from recycling yellow equipment or from the Trading Post
300 Bloodstone Dust – Obtained from various bags, as drops or from mining Bloodstone
29 Supplier Marks – You receive these once per day per vendor in exchange for various items. You can find these vendors in the capitals and in the areas of Heart of Thorns and Secrets of the Obscure. There are a total of 30, but you won’t always have each material. It’s better to start here directly as well.
375 Static Charges – Obtained for completing events in the Skywatch Archipelago and as a reward for various achievements.
375 Pinch of Stardust – Obtained for completing events in Amnytas and as a reward for various achievements.
500 Essence of Despair – Obtained for completing rift events.
Additionally, you’ll need to visit a number of locations and complete tasks, which you can find in the collection under Secrets of the Obscure -> Horn of Maguuma -> A New Friend Finds. We’ll reveal the individual steps here in the guide.
It’s advisable to start leveling the new mastery line “Flight Training” in the meantime, as you will need to reach the level “Spiritual Flight” to complete it.
Is the collection also worth it for owners of the Skywhisper? Yes, because, on the one hand, players who already own the Skywhisper receive an achievement in the Wizard’s Vault with 300 currency and, of course, the 5 achievement points. On the other hand, a new collection is unlocked with a new skin for the Skywhisper.
By the way, if you want to complete the old collection, you can find a detailed guide in this article:
For this first task, you need to find a Skywhisper Egg. This is randomly located in one of 11 Skywhisper nests in the Skywatch Archipelago or in one of 9 nests in Amnythas. You may need to visit all 20 nests, but some players have found it much faster.
We have included two maps for you here, marking the nests. We start with the Skywatch Archipelago:
Egg 1 is simply on the ground beneath the adventure route
Egg 2 is clearly visible on the green ground
Egg 3 is at the highest point of the Garrenhoff Islands
Egg 4 is located at the top of the high flying island. Just walk to the northwest edge there.
Egg 5 is on the rock that is easily recognizable on the map
Egg 6 is in one of the ruined houses
Egg 7 is on the roof of the building
Egg 8 is at the northern tip of the Rising Perch, just below the main island. You can simply let yourself fall there and won’t need to fly significantly.
Egg 9 is at the top of the flying island
Egg 10 is located on the largest island that paves the way to the Wizard’s Tower in the air
Egg 11 can only be reached after the meta event
Amnytas:
Egg 1 is located below the tower but still on the associated island
Egg 2 is at the very top of the wall on a round plateau
Egg 3 is to the north from the waypoint on the green plateau at the very top
Egg 4 is simply slightly elevated in the grass
Egg 5 is also clearly visible in the grass
Egg 6 is slightly lower on a ledge
Egg 7 is at the top of the tower, a bit higher than the ring around
Egg 8 is hidden below the fortress on a ledge
Egg 9 is also slightly lower on a ledge
Egg found: Once you find the egg, you need to return directly to the first waypoint in the Skywatch Archipelago. There, you must speak with Dyanne, who is standing right next to the adventure. She will then give you three more collections.
Skywhisper Egg Infusion
For this collection, you have two options. You can either visit all the locations described in the collection or cut short by buying the materials.
Each of the 13 steps costs 100 Ectoplasm Balls, 100 Magnet Stones or T5 materials, and another 100-250 additional materials. Therefore, we recommend that you visit each location at least once. We have also included images of the locations for you. The map will mark the exact points for you when you are on-site.
Skywhisper of Water – Waypoint Castervall in the Bloodstream Coast.
Skywhisper of Fire – Waypoint Rümpler in the Black Citadel, just jump into the lava.
Skywhisper of Ice – This part is a bit tricky if you don’t have the Living World Season 3. You will then need to wait for the world event with the claw of Jormag, which takes place in the Icebrood Saga. Otherwise, you can simply travel to the Bitterfrost Frontier. You can find the ice storms there around the waypoint Deepest Sorrow.
Skywhisper of Earth – Waypoint Prosperity in the Drytop, just jump into the quicksand.
Skywhisper of Air – To do this, you first need to enter the jumping puzzle. There are four entrances. After that, you must jump to the Wind Concentrate. We have embedded a video for the whole puzzle here:

Skywhisper of Life – For this part, you just need to revive 20 allies. This applies to both players and NPCs. You can find many dead NPCs at the Thaumanova Reactor in the Metrica Province, but also at every large meta event.
Skywhisper of Blood – For this, you simply need to kill 100 enemies at the Blood Hill Camp in the Gendarran Fields.
Skywhisper of Growth – For this, go into the Glade and visit a small patch in the west. Travel to the waypoint Caledon and then simply jump directly over the wall and let yourself fall down.
Skywhisper of Death – Travel to the waypoint Altar of Murdered Dreams in the Cursed Coast and interact with a coffin there.
Skywhisper of Spirit – Travel to the waypoint Bloodfin Lake in the Ironmark. There you should interact with the Great Fire’s Cauldron, a hero point.
Skywhisper of Fear – Travel to the southwest of Ebonhawk (Fields of Ruin) and attack chickens there. At some point, angry chickens will attack you back.
Skywhisper of Bravery – Defeat 4 world bosses. This also includes the claw of Jormag, which you should defeat earlier.
Skywhisper Starter Kit
For this collection, you need to gather 13 items, some of which you can also simply buy or even must.
Skywhisper Treats – You can buy these directly from Dyanne for 12 Charged Quartz Crystals, 24 pieces of Wild Meat, 60 Ectoplasm Balls, and 300 Bloodstone Dust. We already introduced these items to you at the beginning of the guide.
Savory Kryptis Hide – Obtained from Kryptis – best from rift events – as drops.
Tasty Traveler’s Ration – For this, you have to kill Jotun. Many of them can be found in the Scourgecliff Cliffs east of the waypoint Hessdalen Kenning.
Delicious Devourer Carapace – For this, you have to kill Devourers. You can find many of them in the Ashford Plains at the waypoint: Catacombs of Ascalon.
Crispy Chak Leg – A huge number of Chak can be found in the Twisted Depths. It’s best to port to the convergence of ley lines and then walk west.
Tasty moss-covered bark – For this, you have to kill Tree Herder. You can find many of them in Kingsvale west of the waypoint Phinney.
Juicy Worm Segment – Many worms can be found in and around the Findworm Cave at the eponymous waypoint in the Wanderer’s Hills. Alternatively, you can go to the waypoint Desider Atum and kill slimes at the same time.
Delicate slime-marinated meat – Some slimes can be found in the Metrica Province, south of the waypoint Desider Atum.
Crafted Ankle Joint – Most of the Crafted can be found north of the waypoint Fate’s Gorge in the Crystal Oasis. If you do not own Path of Fire, you can find some of them in the desert part of the Skywatch Archipelago.
Bird Whistle – You can obtain the whistle from the NPC Gortho, son of Malik. He is in the Ironmark, either in the far northeast in the Shwindheart Passage or below the waypoint Clearing Crash. This is the NPC with the ogre whistle. The Bird Whistle costs 2 Gold there.
Plush Quaggan – You can obtain the plush Quaggan from the merchant Sven Edson in the Wizard’s Tower in the outer ring, directly slightly southeast below the waypoint Tower Courtyard. The item costs 10 Gold.
Durable Dolyak Blanket – For this item, you must complete the heart of herder Lyod south of the Durmand Abbey in the Lorna’s Pass. Then Lyod will sell you the item for 3 Gold.
Skywhisper Saddle Materials
For this part of the collection, you need to visit the 10 faction suppliers in the new areas and buy the required materials there. For these, you need the marks and the other materials we mentioned at the beginning of the guide.
We have created a map for you of the respective positions, which are also visible directly on the map.
3 – Jade-spun Silk Thread
5 – Noble Mahogany from Maguuma
7 – Deldrimor Rivets
8 – Garrenhoff Fabric
9 – Elonian Sandpaper
1 – Star-dust infused leather
2 – Mist-infused saddle oil
4 – Robust saddle hardware
6 – Storage saddlebag
10 – Particularly sticky tar
Obtain the Skywhisper
Finally, after you have completed the three collections and leveled the mastery, you need to speak with Dyanne one last time. Then the achievement is completed and you will permanently receive the Skywhisper or the additional rewards if you already own one.
Additionally, the collection “A New Look” is unlocked through this, through which you can earn a Skywhisper skin.
How did you like the new collection? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.
