One of the largest Twitch streamers is switching to Diablo 4, says: Last Epoch will be the next big ARPG

Raxxanterax is one of the well-known figures in the ARPG genre and in Diablo 4. Thousands of viewers on YouTube and Twitch regularly rely on his tips. Now the streamer says: Diablo 4 is not an option for him, at least not in the near future. He will now focus on Last Epoch.

Who is the player?

This is what Raxxanterax says about Diablo 4: In a new video on YouTube, Raxxanterax talks about his attitude towards Diablo 4. He says the game simply does not offer enough for players like him – for everyone who really wants to delve deeply into the content.

While one can grind up to level 100, after that, there is almost nothing to do in the endgame. Uber-Lilith is hardly a challenge anymore and nothing special, a Nightmare dungeon at level 100 is not either.

For casual players, Diablo 4 is certainly still excellent. Those who cannot or do not want to invest much time in the game will find value in the campaign and the grind up to level 70 or 80. After that, however, it’s over.

Raxxanterax believes that Diablo 4 needed another year of development. The base is good, but it just lacks content. Now he hopes that content will come later and in the meantime wants to focus on other projects. His current plan is Last Epoch.

Here you can see the newest class from Last Epoch in the trailer:

“It’s about teaching people something – there’s nothing to teach in Diablo 4”

The streamer says he definitely wants to remain a content creator, especially because he enjoys sharing knowledge. In Diablo 4, he cannot do that because there is nothing to teach. That’s why he wants to immerse himself in Last Epoch now:

I love making guides. I like to know what I’m talking about. I want to level 100 times to level 100 so that my level guide is one of the best, if not the best. […] It looks like the best new ARPG coming soon is Last Epoch. Everyone loves it, everyone says it has a great endgame and crafting system.

Last Epoch is considered serious competition for Diablo 4, gaining more and more attention on Steam. It has been in open development for years and regularly receives new content.

However, Raxxanterax does not want to completely give up on Diablo 4; he just does not have to “practice” it. He is still playing it to stay up to date and hopes that with Season 3 there will finally be enough to do. Only for the meantime does he need something else.

Besides Last Epoch, Path of Exile is also very high on Raxxanterax’s list. Here, however, the streamer wants to wait for the release of PoE 2. For the first part, there are already too many experts; it probably isn’t worth diving in now. Still, he at least wants to get a little “warmed up” for part 2.

Raxxanterax has also cast an eye on the upcoming MMO from Riot. He says MMOs and grinding are exactly his thing. He can imagine checking it out a bit. When the MMO will be released, however, is still completely open:

Riot’s CEO says about the new LoL MMORPG: “If I were a game developer, I wouldn’t stake my career on this project”

Cyberpunk 2077: “Everything is now a challenge” fans praise update 2.0, although they keep dying

CD Projekt Red has Cyberpunk 2077 completely overhauled. The new Update 2.0 changes almost every system in the game, fixes bugs, and makes some builds significantly stronger – or weaker. Players are excited, although most now find it more challenging.

What is Update 2.0?

Players praise: Since the update, players have been discussing on Reddit how much better Cyberpunk 2077 has become. After the game did not meet expectations, especially at launch, some are now giving the RPG another chance.

The consensus is: Cyberpunk 2077 is now finally the game that one wished to have at launch. Or at least very close to the state that was expected. Everything feels smoother, just better.

In particular, bug fixes seem to have been necessary. In a thread with over 1,200 comments, it simply states: ‘The game feels 10 times better, looks a bit better. I will take a while to get used to the new controls, but I’m glad I no longer have to skip dialogues by crouching.’

‘Being a cyber ninja has never been more fun’

In further threads, players discuss that Cyberpunk 2077 has become significantly more challenging. Adam Smasher, for example, whom people used to joke about by beating him with a giant dildo, is now a real challenge. Like everything in the game: ‘Breathing is a challenge,’ jokes a user.

The cyber psychos that one would have easily taken out before are now real boss fights that require caution. The AI is still a bit crazed at times, but the fights feel better, more satisfying – as if they actually fit the play style.

The revised skill system is particularly enjoyable for netrunners and players who focus on stealth and hacking skills. While they were not necessarily bad in Cyberpunk 2077 before, they were significantly lagging in comparison to other skills.

Now, all netrunner players will have to read and understand a few dozen skills first, but then it is really fun to build a corresponding build with them. Especially the combos that are now possible are extremely strong.

Update 2.0 is just the first part of a major renewal for Cyberpunk 2077. On September 26, the DLC Phantom Liberty will be released. MeinMMO editor Sophia Weiß has already played it:

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty in the playtest – the expansion is great, but the real star is Update 2.0

Starfield: 3 Ships You Can Find for Free

You can get some spaceships completely for free in Starfield, where you don’t even have to pay the registration costs. We will show you three of them.

The ship is your daily companion in Starfield. It is the transporter of your precious loot, your home, and at the same time your sword and shield” in space battles. However, the versatility of a ship will also cost you some credits.

Therefore, we will show you 3 ships in Starfield that you can obtain for free.

Spoiler Alert: Since we are showing you ships that you can only get by completing certain quests, you will encounter spoilers while reading.

Wonderwell

What kind of ship is this? The Wonderwell ship is a small ship that is more interesting for collectors. It offers neither strong armament nor a good reactor, a lot of cargo capacity, or room for crew members. Roughly speaking, the Wonderwell is small and does nothing.

But: It is a free ship, and you can delete all components and then build your own ship in the place of the Wonderwell for a lot of money.

You can read about how to build your own ship on MeinMMO: This is how you build your ships in Starfield – All systems, subsystems, and adjustments

How do you get the ship? When creating your character, you can select the trait Child’s Play”. This trait ensures that you have living parents to whom you transfer 2% of your credits every in-game week.

Well, your father is into gambling and loses your credits. However, when you visit him, he eventually tells you that he won a ship in poker: the Wonderwell, which he then gives to you.

Razorleaf

What kind of ship is this? The Razorleaf is a small ship with room for only two people, equipped with solid armament and cargo shields, with which you can hide your contraband from the scanners of law enforcement.

How do you get the ship? You obtain the Razorleaf by completing a side quest called Mantis”, which you receive when you find a note from defeated spacers that reveals the location of a “secret outpost”.

The note can already be found during the introduction quest in the “Nova Galatic Shipyard” and directs you to the planet “Denebola I-b”.

At the Mantis outpost, however, you must prepare for battles against spacers and robots.

You can read on MeinMMO how exactly to find the Razorleaf: This is how you find the Mantis quest, solve the puzzle and grab a rare ship

Star Eagle

What kind of ship is this? The Star Eagle is the service ship of the Freestar Rangers, the law enforcement of the Freestar Collectives.

The Star Eagle is one of the best ships you can find in Starfield. It has strong armament that is ideal for boarding enemy ships, good defensive values for shields and hull, as well as 2,500 cargo capacity.

Additionally, the Star Eagle offers room for 5 crew members and even has its own cell where you can imprison criminals or cloned children.

How do you get the ship? You can obtain the Star Eagle by completing the “Freestar Ranger” faction questline for free when you are promoted to a full-fledged Ranger – previously, you were just acting as a Deputy.

Furthermore, you will receive some weapons, a Ranger star, a Ranger uniform, and a matching spacesuit.

There are other ships available in Starfield that you can obtain for free. Additionally, you can always cap a hostile ship and then only cover the registration costs. If you don’t know how to board other ships, you can find out how here:

Player buys used gaming PC, but the community warns: One component is really dangerous

Used hardware is usually a good option to save a few euros. But a gamer has now gotten hardware that only looks sensible at first glance.

The featured image is a symbolic image.

A gamer recently explained on Reddit that he bought a used gaming PC. But he himself probably doesn’t trust the new PC completely, as he posts a picture of the power supply of the computer.

At first glance, many people warn against using the component. Because the part looks anything but safe.

Power supply supposedly provides 1,600 watts and high efficiency

What is the problem? Basically, the power supply provides your computer with power: it converts the voltage from the power grid for your device.

Link to the Reddit content

At first glance, the power supply also looks powerful. 1,600 watts means a lot of power and high efficiency means that little energy is wasted. However, many users warn against using the power supply.

  • Some claim that the numbers on the power supply may not be correct. The 95% looks like someone turned an 80% into a 95 with a thick marker.
  • A few users also refer to the power supply as “IED” (for “Improvised Explosive Devices”), which means “improvised explosive device”.
  • Others explain that such power supplies with many cables are not unusual. Because such models were almost exclusively used in mining rigs: “The chances are good that the hardware has been through hell.”

Moreover, it is almost never worth risking your hardware with a potentially hazardous power supply. Because a good power supply from a reputable manufacturer can be obtained for around 50 euros.

Cheap and no-name power supplies have a bad reputation in the community

Especially very cheap power supplies that have become known on the Internet as China bombs have the bad reputation of offering more appearance than reality:

  • A high performance is promised for little money, but this is usually only achieved in voltage spikes.
  • The actual values are often significantly below the manufacturer’s specifications, and important fuses that protect against overvoltage may be missing.
  • Some very cheap imported products even lack the CE mark, which manufacturers in the EU are required to have. Because this indicates that the product is approved for the EU market.

For many users, the saying still applies to power supplies: Whoever buys cheaply usually buys twice.

Why can such products be difficult? The problem is mainly that you can cause a lot of damage with a damaged, broken, or even manipulated power supply. In the best case, you end up with only several broken components, in the worst case, you have a house fire because certain fuses in the power supply did not hold. Because with very cheap products, savings are made somewhere, and in the most annoying cases regarding safety.

But even with high-priced models, you can have a lot of trouble. A gamer almost set his apartment on fire because he underestimated his modular power supply:

Gamer warns that with a tiny mistake, you can set your expensive PC hardware on fire

Baldur’s Gate 3: Patch 3 Patch Notes – If you want to flirt with Shadowheart, you need to make more effort now

Larian Studios have released the latest major patch 3 for Baldur’s Gate 3. This brings several improvements and changes, including to the romance with Shadowheart. MeinMMO shows you the most important aspects from the patch notes.

The most important changes in Patch 3:

  • Since Patch 3, you can now find a Magic Mirror in your camp, which allows you to change your appearance. However, there are some restrictions.
  • Baldur’s Gate 3 now fully supports Macs. An M1 Pro processor is recommended, as well as 16 GB of RAM and 150 GB of free storage.
  • The annoying crashes on PS5 should now occur less frequently.
  • Numerous boss fights have been adjusted, bugs have been fixed and performance in the Lower City has been improved.

What changes with Shadowheart? Shadowheart no longer quickly reveals which goddess she worships. Previously, she was quite open about her faith, which is forbidden in some areas of the world.

This knowledge is not necessary, but it helps you get closer to a romance with Shadowheart faster. Now you need more trust from the cleric for her to reveal her secret to you.

However, a bug has been fixed that caused one of the romance scenes not to play correctly. You should now be able to see the scene correctly when courting Shadowheart.

If you prefer to move on to another companion, expect a significantly … bear-like scene:

Patch 3 improves combat and gameplay

Spoiler Warning: The patch notes contain some information about fights and characters that won’t be seen until later in the game. We try to reveal as little as possible.

Other important changes include bug fixes, particularly in battles against three of the bosses in the game: Cazador, Grym, and Orin. Cazador can no longer use his Mist Form in magical daylight.

Grym, whom you must defeat to obtain the powerful Adamant items, no longer simply dodges the Forge Hammer. The hammer is actually the mechanism you’re supposed to use to fight the boss – if you skip it, there’s an achievement.

In the fight against Orin, you have the option to simply push her into an abyss. If you did this, it could happen that you destroyed an important item and thus end the game negatively. You can now loot the item.

There were also changes to gameplay. One of the best buffs in the game can no longer be obtained by Jaheira, Halsin, and Minthara, as they refuse to undergo the operation. You can find the complete patch notes in the official forum or on page 2.

There have also been some adjustments to romances for Astarion. It should no longer happen that other scenes take precedence when you schedule a “tender moment” with the elf. That seems a bit unfair, considering that Astarion would love to crash important romantic scenes himself:

The 5 Best Isekai Anime That Every Fan Should See

Sword Art Online and Co. are more popular than ever. But are there other Isekai anime that one must absolutely see? We present to you 5 of them.

There are countless anime nowadays – even when searching by individual genres. Today, we want to take a look at the Isekai genre and introduce you to some hidden gems that you may not have seen yet. Especially here at MeinMMO, where many fans are fascinated by the concept of a “Sword Art Online”, the idea of alternative worlds finds great resonance.

Therefore, we present to you here 5 top anime from the Isekai genre.

What is Isekai?
“Isekai” is Japanese and means “another world”. Over the past few years, it has become its own genre in the realm of anime and manga. The basic idea is usually similar: one or more protagonists are transported from reality to another world, usually with a fantasy setting. However, they generally still possess their knowledge from the modern world.

Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-

Alternative titles: Re:Zero, Re: Life in a different world from zero, Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu
Genre: Drama, Fantasy
Episodes: 51 (2 seasons)
Stream available on: Crunchyroll

Re Zero Key Art

Just on the way to the supermarket, suddenly in the marketplace of a fantasy world – that’s what happens to Subaru. And it gets even better: shortly after arriving, he also encounters the beautiful Emilia, whom he immediately falls for. But his lucky streak doesn’t last long. As he tries to help Emilia, Subaru is brutally killed out of nowhere. Instead of simply dying, however, he travels back in time and finds himself back in his original position.

What to expect from Re:Zero: The anime combines the classic Isekai ingredients like fantasy and colorful characters with some elements from time loops. Since the protagonist gets “reset” several days upon death, some segments repeat, but always provide new insights and beautifully showcase the despair that comes with it.

However, it should be noted that Re:ZERO is significantly darker and more mature in some respects than other Isekai. Mental and physical cruelties occur more frequently, especially towards the end of the first season, adding a weight to the story that might not be suitable for “casual evening entertainment”.

Saga of Tanya the Evil

Alternative titles: Youjo Senki, The Military Chronicles of a Little Girl
Genre: Action, Fantasy
Episodes: 13
Stream available on: Crunchyroll

Saga of Tanya The Evil Key Art

Tanya Degurechaff may not look like the perfect soldier at first glance – especially since she is still a child. However, her magical abilities and strategic calculations have quickly caught the attention of the military academy. In an alternate version of Europe during the First World War, Tanya attempts to lead her country to victory – while simultaneously proving that “God” doesn’t exist. Because it is this being that she owes her existence in this world, as she actually comes from modern Japan.

What to expect from Saga of Tanya the Evil: On paper, “World War in Europe with Magic” sounds a bit silly, but after the first episode, one might be proven wrong. Saga of Tanya the Evil impresses with visually and sonically stunning scenes, grand action, and just the right amount of drama.

The anime balances on an interesting line. As a viewer, one is never entirely sure whether to cheer for or against Tanya – as her calculating, ruthless nature is cold-hearted but efficient.

GATE

Alternative titles: Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Takakaeri, Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There!
Genre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy
Episodes: 24 (2 seasons)
Stream available on: Aniverse (Amazon Prime Channel)

Gate Key Visual Small

As a manga convention takes place in Tokyo, something strange happens: a large gate appears in the city. Fantastic creatures like orcs, lesser demons, and knights storm through the portal and plunge Tokyo into chaos – for a few hours. Because shortly after, the creatures are devastatingly defeated by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces. The army now pushes through the “Gate” and attempts to establish an outpost in this foreign world, make contact with the inhabitants, and perhaps trade with previously unknown goods.

Officer Youji Itami is at the center of the action and makes first contacts with the inhabitants, who are also overwhelmed by the political implications of this portal behind which a superior force awaits.

What to expect from GATE: GATE mixes traditional fantasy with modern military tactics and corresponding weaponry. At first glance, it may seem like an incongruous mix, but it quickly develops a unique fascination. Even though some characters – like the goth-lolita – may seem a bit cliché, the personalities of the protagonists can be quite convincing.

GATE faced some criticism because some critics claim it promotes Japanese military propaganda. However, if one doesn’t let that dissuade or disturb them, GATE is exciting and pursues a concept that is unique in the Isekai genre.

Someone completed the new Zelda game on the Switch without ever touching the surface – How did he do that?

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom offers players a lot of freedom. A user has now managed to complete the game in a particularly interesting way.

Legend of Zelda: Tears of Kingdom is the latest installment in the Zelda series on the Switch. Normally, you need about 60 hours if you want to complete the game at a normal pace (via howlongtobeat.com).

But now a player showed on Reddit that there is a particularly clever way to not only finish the game quickly but also not touch the ground.

Start video
Trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom shows what to expect in the game

Little fairies take him from island to island

How did the user proceed? He explained that he went about it as follows:

  • First, he traveled from sky island to sky island and completed all the shrines. These shrines gave him enough health to obtain the Master Sword.
  • To reduce fall damage, he used the little fairies that revive Link when he loses all health. This allowed him to fly from sky island to the next one.
  • To get from one island to another, he used the Zonai glider. To recharge it sufficiently, he needed rough amounts of ‘Zonai charges’, which however drop from numerous enemies.
  • After that, he could head to the temples in the sky and pave his way to the final boss.

He did not disclose how long he took in total for the game. But a screenshot of him on Reddit shows that he indeed never touched the surface. Many users from the community are impressed by this.

The new Zelda game offers you a lot of freedom

Why does this even work? Tears of the Kingdom has a very open structure. After the intro, the game does not tell you what to do, and you can explore completely freely. TotK thus offers you all the pros and cons of an open-world game.

You can finish the game after just a few hours, saving you all side quests, dungeons, or helpful advantages. However, you miss details that the developers have hidden for you in the game world.

By the way, one secret in the game could not be found by any player. In fact, even Nintendo had to show where to find it:

Baldur’s Gate 3: All companions have a sad line in case their favorite dog dies

Baldur’s Gate 3 features plenty of touching moments. A player recently discovered particularly sad lines from your companions regarding the lovable dog. MeinMMO reveals what it’s all about.

Warning, Spoilers: The article contains spoilers about your companions’ lines and a spoiler about Minsc’s story.

In Baldur’s Gate 3, there are numerous moments that touch players’ hearts. One such moment is the heartbreaking loss of Scruffy, the faithful dog in the game.

Your choices shape the story in various ways. This diversity even extends to the companions’ reactions to certain situations. One example is the secret scene with Astarion, which only appears when you fling Astarion into the air.

However, another discovery was made by an observant fan. The Reddit user snowwolf_ stumbled upon some of the saddest and simultaneously rarest lines in the game that concern the sweet dog Scruffy.

Are you also always overloaded? Here you can find tips to reduce your load:

Your companions express their feelings while playing ball

What did he discover? snowolf_ recently made a heartbreaking discovery: In Baldur’s Gate 3, the companions react in extremely emotional ways to the loss of Scruffy, the faithful dog in the game. Normally, you can play fetch with Scruffy at the camp. But when Scruffy tragically passes away and a ball is thrown into the void, each companion has touching words of remembrance centered around their beloved dog.

Most of these lines can likely deeply touch the hearts of dog lovers:

  • One example of such touching words comes from Gale: You were an excellent friend, Scruffy – and that comes from a cat lover.
  • While Karlach simply says: I miss my dog.
  • Halsin expresses his thoughts with compassion: I hope you are happy wherever you are now.
  • Shadowheart regrets not having played enough fetch with him: I didn’t do that often enough when I had the chance.
  • Wyll misses Scruffy: Damn. I miss the furry guy.
  • Minsc speaks to his hamster: I know he’s gone, Boo, but… maybe this is a way to keep him alive, right?
  • Lae’zel emphasizes: I can’t believe I’m saying this, but – I miss Scruffy.

But not all companions are filled only with grief. Some of them add a touch of humor to possibly cope with the emotional burden:

  • For example, Minthara explains with a smirk: Everyone assumes I killed the dog. I liked the dog.
  • Astarion points out with mischievous words: Does it now have a sad squeak? Is that even possible?
  • Also Astarion: I can’t believe the dumb dog isn’t here to fetch the dumb ball.
  • Minthara has another saying in store: Lazarus! Be a good skeleton and fetch the ball.

The discovery of these heartbreaking monologues once again shows the depth of character development and emotional bonds in Baldur’s Gate 3. These moments are a testament to how carefully the developers have crafted the stories and relationships in their game.

By the way, did you know that your companions also have lines prepared for Minsc’s space hamster?

Payday 3 was one of the most wanted games on Steam – Now the shooter fails dramatically, fans curse, are disappointed

With Payday 3, the successor to one of the most popular shooters on Steam has been released. However, player reviews are predominantly negative, with many expressing disappointment. What is going on?

The Payday series is known for its hardcore, tactical co-op content. You and your friends take on the role of a criminal, robbing banks or engaging in other illegal activities.

Just a few days ago, the long-awaited successor finally appeared on Steam, which was at the top of many players’ wish lists on Steam. However, the first players appear disillusioned and disappointed. As of now (as of 23.09.2023), the ratings are “Mostly Negative” and out of over 15,000 reviews, only 30% are positive.

Select a MMO video…

Many are complaining about “Always Online” and catastrophic matchmaking

This is what disappointed fans are saying:

  • Always Online with server issues and queues
  • No voice chat
  • Less gameplay depth than in the predecessor: fewer weapons; fewer skills; poorer mask selection
  • Many say: There is no longer any planning in advance of a heist, where you determine whether to proceed stealthily or loudly
  • For many players, it’s clear: Currently, the game offers far too little content for its high price, and it represents a step back compared to Payday 2

Especially the “Always Online” requirement is criticized by many players. Many want to play Payday 3 solo and be able to complete missions offline. And many believe that matchmaking is so terrible only because of the online requirement.

Some also explain that Payday 2 only offered 12 missions at launch. That was not much either, but at least the tasks were varied. In the latest title, everything somehow looks the same.

Many users now hope that the developers will take their time and quickly fix the biggest problems. In particular, the poor matchmaking is driving many people crazy.

Other games are also failing on Steam, but here mainly technical issues are a cause behind it. And many now believe that a graphics card feature must be behind it:

All major games are failing catastrophically on Steam right now – players believe: A great feature of graphics cards is to blame

Who is the ticket worthwhile for? The ticket is especially worthwhile for trainers who wanted to get the items anyway or are eyeing additional Pokémon encounters. With the ticket, you can save a lot of money compared to the values in the shop, and you also have the chance to get a slightly stronger Mabula.

If you don’t need the items, you can also play without a ticket. You won’t incur any disadvantages.

Cyberpunk 2077: The three most important story decisions for the restart

With the release of Update 2.0 for Cyberpunk 2077 and the long-awaited DLC Phantom Liberty on the horizon, now is the right time for a fresh start. Whether you’re creating a new V after a long break or visiting the streets of Night City for the first time: You lay the foundation for your future success right from the Early Game.

Warning Spoiler: We try to focus on as few spoilers as possible. However, we won’t get away without some. So beware – spoilers for Act 1 of Cyberpunk 2077 ahead!

Story Decision 1: We Build V

Your first important decision(s) is already made when you create V. Most settings can be freely configured according to your preference. However, there are two exceptions:

You can choose between three different backgrounds: This mainly affects how and where you start the game once you’ve left the character editor. Each background later unlocks its own options for dialogues. However, these usually do not have a major impact on the gameplay.

Before you can shape V, you choose their life path.

The choice of your V’s gender as well as the corresponding genitalia influence your gameplay: This determines which romances you can pursue later in the game.

Your potential partners may, for example, be attracted to a male V. Other partners may find a female V with male genitalia appealing. What each potential lover likes is summarized by our sister site GameStar.de.

Story Decision 2: Militech vs. Maelstrom

In one of your first quests, you will be assigned by Fixer Dex to the Maelstrom gang. The group has stolen an experimental robot from the company Militech. You are to get it back from them.

Dex gives you the option to either stop by Maelstrom directly or meet with a contact person from Militech beforehand: Meredith Stout. You can safely ignore Meredith. However, if you do meet her, she gives you a helpful chip – which you don’t have to use.

If you choose against Meredith, you will miss a special scene with her. Otherwise, almost every decision in the quest changes the outcome – the decision tree is the most complex in the game. However, it does not have an impact on the main storyline.

Story Decision 3: A Toast to an Old Friend

This decision comes relatively late in Act One and seems rather unimportant at first glance. You sit in a car after a pretty exciting heist and your assigned partner is not doing very well, to say the least.

The fixer Dex in the car talking with V.

If you want to get out, your vehicle – an intelligent taxi – will ask where to take your partner. You have two active and one passive options:

If you decide that the taxi should take your partner home, it will give you a bittersweet yet satisfying conclusion.

However, if you send them to your shared Ripperdoc or if you don’t decide at all, you won’t find out how your partner fared for a long time.

How did you decide? Are the romances even relevant to you, or did you create your V according to your own taste and without thoughts about it? We look forward to your comments!

Pokémon GO: These 9 monsters are in the eggs of Adventure Sync

In Pokémon GO there are many different ways to obtain eggs. One of them is the “Adventure Sync” feature. We at MeinMMO looked at what you need to do to get eggs this way and which 9 monsters are hiding in them.

What is Adventure Sync? Adventure Sync is a feature in Pokémon GO that registers the movements of your smartphone, even when you have closed your game. So if you go for a walk during this time, the distance you have covered will still be counted.

This is made possible by a fitness app like Google Fit. This app records your movements and shares the data with Pokémon GO with your prior consent. This gives you the opportunity to collect kilometers even when your game is closed. These are important for hatching eggs or if your buddy is supposed to find a candy.

How do you get eggs through Adventure Sync? Normally, you can secure different eggs by spinning at gyms or PokéStops. But you also have a chance through Adventure Sync. This is related to the weekly reward. You receive this every Monday at 09:00 local time.

The key factor here is how many kilometers you traveled in the previous week. Both the data from Adventure Sync and the distance walked while the game is open are counted. Thus, trainers who have disabled Adventure Sync also receive a weekly reward.

If you have reached the milestone of 25 km, you will receive a special 5 km egg. Upon reaching 50 km, you will get a 10 km egg. You can see your respective progress in the avatar view.

We updated this article for you on September 26, 2023, and brought the monsters from the Adventure Sync eggs up to date.

9 Monsters from the Adventure Sync Eggs

Unlike the other eggs, the 5 and 10 km eggs from Adventure Sync access their own Pokémon pool. Therefore, they often contain different and sometimes more interesting Pokémon than the normal ones.

Additionally, you will receive these eggs even if your regular 9 egg slots are full, as they are designated for the lower three slots along with the 12 km eggs from Team GO Rocket.

Which Pokémon you can find during the current season in the eggs from Adventure Sync are summarized for you below (via pokemongolive.com) All monsters marked with a (*) can also be obtained as Shiny with some luck.

5 km Eggs from Adventure Sync:

If you have walked at least 25 km within a week, you will receive a 5 km egg, which includes one of the following monsters:

  • Koknodon*
  • Schilterus*
  • Wonneira*
  • Mampfaxo
  • Mamolida*
Selection of monsters from 5 km eggs from Adventure Sync (via pokemongolive.com)

10 km Eggs from Adventure Sync:

If you have covered 50 km within a week, you can look forward to one of these monsters from a 10 km egg:

  • Kaumalat*
  • Viscora
  • Wuffels*
  • Miniras
Selection of monsters from 10 km eggs from Adventure Sync (via pokemongolive.com)

Are the eggs from Adventure Sync worth it?

Since the eggs from the weekly reward access a smaller data pool, the chances for the respective monsters are slightly better. Thus, fewer monsters can hatch from these eggs than from the regular 5 or 10 km eggs.

Additionally, some of the Pokémon from Adventure Sync are relatively rare or can evolve into a strong attacker. In particular, monsters like Riolu or Kapuno are hard to find in the wild. So if you are looking for one of these Pokémon, you should try your luck with the eggs in the weekly reward.

Do you regularly get eggs from the weekly reward of Adventure Sync? And which of these Pokémon do you like best? Feel free to share your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other players.

New shooter in Unreal Engine 5 takes place in one of the largest Sci-Fi MMORPGs on Steam – Starts testing in December

At the Fan Fest 2023, the developers of EVE Online presented their latest project EVE Vanguard in more detail. As already revealed last year, it is a first-person shooter. However, it contains more than initially suspected, as it is fully compatible with EVE itself.

What is Vanguard? A shooter in and for EVE Online, at least that’s how the developers describe their creation. It is the FPS project from CCP London, which was roughly introduced at the Fan Fest 2022.

The game places great importance on an authentic environment and wants to “be more than just a normal shooter in EVE’s clothing.” So the developers stated at the Fan Fest. The core features of EVE Vanguard are as follows:

  • A standalone shooter that is firmly connected to EVE Online. Player actions in both games influence resources, economies, wars, and more in the other game.
  • However, you should not have disadvantages if you only want to play Vanguard and not EVE Online.
  • In the game itself, you are a foot soldier on a planet with multiple players and NPCs. There you receive various missions and can collect loot. If you die, your character along with loot and equipment is lost, but your “spirit” continues in the next clone soldier, so it is a kind of extraction shooter.
  • Vanguard relies on the Unreal Engine 5 and will initially launch with a hand-crafted map set around a shipwreck on a planet. As the connection with EVE Online progresses, player ships that are shot down in space by EVE might find their final resting place here.
  • Later on, it is conceivable that the soldiers of Vanguard will receive direct orders and missions from players and corps in EVE Online. Players of EVE Online can imagine the module detached from the rest, similar to wormholes.

EVE Online: Uprising Expansion – Trailer

Start already in December, for selected players

When can you try Vanguard? Testing will start in December, which should already be connected to the MMORPG EVE Online. Thus, Vanguard will not start separately and then be integrated, but is intended to be linked from day one.

Anyone with an active Omega subscription can participate in the test. This is the larger version of the optional subscription to EVE Online. However, it is only a limited-time test.

When the final launch will take place or an open beta occurs is currently not known. Also, details such as match length and number of players have not been mentioned at this time.

First screenshots of EVE Vanguard:

The fourth attempt at an EVE shooter

There have already been shooters in New Eden: EVE Vanguard is not the first attempt by CCP to bring a shooter into its own universe. In addition to the canceled project NOVA, which was stopped before the planned release in 2020, there were two other attempts.

In 2013, CCP launched the shooter Dust 514. It was also supposed to bring influences from EVE Online but function independently. The title was released as Free2Play on the PS3, but was discontinued just three years later, in 2016.

During this period, at the EVE Fan Fest 2014, the developers announced another shooter with Project Legion, which also disappeared into obscurity.

After Project NOVA was finally canceled in 2020, the developers announced that they were already working on the framework for a new shooter. However, it is unclear whether this was Vanguard. The developers emphasize that they have learned from their mistakes and are finally capable of making the game they have always wanted to make.

All details about the new expansion Havoc, which will be released in November.

Destiny 2: Xur today – location and offer on 22.09.

After the weapon exploit from Destiny 2 has finally been banned, Guardians can take on their normal challenges again this week, like a visit to Xur. He will soon receive a rework, but until then, he is still selling his exotic items to anyone who wants to visit him.

What happened in Destiny 2 this week? This week in Destiny 2, an extreme exploit not only made it possible for Legendary weapons to have exotic perks. But Bungie had their hands full with more than just that.

In the fight against cheaters, the developer also faces one of the toughest opponents yet with AimJunkies. The cheat manufacturer is fighting with all means against a conviction and wants to bring down Bungie’s house of cards in front of a jury.

However, those who prefer to focus on the gameplay in Destiny 2 were equally pleased. There was a first developer outlook on the brand new abilities in the DLC “The Final Shape” which will be released in February 2024.

Fans say: Baldur’s Gate 3 needs better victory scenes, show questionable preferences

Baldur’s Gate 3 is one of the most successful and best games of 2023. Criticism is almost only at a very high level. Nevertheless, fans have now found a point that could be improved – and show some pretty morbid preferences.

This is what players want:

  • Baldur’s Gate 3 is a pure story-driven game, mainly driven by the players’ own decisions.
  • However, you will also face nasty enemies, including some bosses with their own, specially staged battles – such as the fight against a nasty witch.
  • This is exactly where players wish that the endings would be more spectacular. Because often the existence of a special boss simply ends with the fight, without a special scene.

What is “morbid” about it? On Reddit the post by user AltPerspective has already received over 11,000 upvotes and accumulated over 1,100 comments. In it, the player says that Baldur’s Gate 3 is missing special death scenes.

However, AltPerspective has a very … precise idea of what he wants to see: “Why can’t we have a sweet, little scene where [the bosses] gasp for air while choking on their own blood and weakly sputter curses at us?”

Other users are directly sure that the creator himself plays the Dark Urge, a canonically psychopathic killer. Nevertheless, there is a lot of agreement – and also comparisons to other games.

That the D&D community ticks a little differently is already shown by the fascination for this scene:

Start video
Creators of Baldur’s Gate 3 show intimate love scene with a bear and get banned instantly

“The assassinations in Assassin’s Creed are so entertaining”

The creator defends himself and says: he thought of Assassin’s Creed when describing it. There, it is particularly well implemented how targets die and still speak to the player in their last breaths.

Many users agree: Assassin’s Creed has implemented death scenes extraordinarily well. After all, that is what it’s about in a game with assassins. Similarly strong does it in Dragon Age, for instance.

AltPerspective wishes for dialogue options to finish off an opponent he has built up hatred towards for over a hundred hours. A little satisfaction and a true ending for the plot, indeed.

Some other fans wish that the killing options should rather fit the character they are playing. For example, if someone is killed through dialogue, a dagger shouldn’t just appear out of nowhere. One should use the equipped weapon – such as a greatsword.

In further comments, it is stated that special death scenes are indeed present, although sparse. There are special victory scenes for certain battles when corresponding NPC opponents are present. However, not everyone sees the scenes.

A prominent example is the final quest of Astarion’s personal tasks. Ironically, there is a problem here:

For one of the toughest boss fights in Baldur’s Gate 3, you should not take a companion with you – but that is exactly his quest

EVE Online: Space MMORPG on Steam fulfills fans a long-held wish – Finally lets you play for the bad guys

Havoc is the new expansion of the probably most well-known space sandbox EVE Online and it will be released in November. This was announced by the developer at the fan fest for the 20th anniversary of the MMORPG. Fans have been wishing for the feature that Havoc brings for about the same amount of time.

What is Havoc? At the EVE fan fest 2022, the developers announced that they would increasingly focus on expansions for new content. Since then, the two add-ons Uprising and Virdian have been released, which build on each other both in their mechanics and in their story.

Havoc will be the third expansion in the series, which is intended to continue this pattern. It will be released on November 14 and will set clear priorities. These promise more power for players, stronger organizations, fundamental changes in faction wars, and pirates.

Furthermore, new players will be better introduced to the game, there will be numerous quality-of-life adjustments and new ships for the pilots of EVE Online.

We will insert the trailer for the new expansion here as soon as it is online.

EVE Online lets you finally be truly evil – Trailer for the new expansion Havoc

EVE Online gets new expansion Havoc – What’s in it

How does it work with the pirates? Practically since the beginning of EVE, there have been players who wanted to ally themselves with the space pirates, an NPC faction in the game. Some have already done this, but did not gain anything from it and were even shot down by their NPC friends.

However, with Havoc, this should be possible. You can ally with the pirate faction in the game and consequently work for them. If you do this, you will not only become best buddies with the nasty space thieves but also earn loyalty points that you can then redeem in the respective shops.

Among other things, for the total of 5 new ships that come into the game with Havoc. This includes 2 battle cruisers, 2 destroyers, two of which will be available in the game next week, and the long-awaited Angel Titan.

This is said to be one of the most powerful ships in the game. According to the developers, fans will need 3 to 4 weeks to build a single copy of the new Titan. Its power is said to be immense.

EVE Online Screenshot Angel Titan

How is the war changing? Players who ally themselves with pirates also have a concrete influence on the faction wars in EVE Online. Specifically, on the frontline principle. In this “mode”, two factions fight against each other, and front lines, command, and safe zones are formed. As a pirate, you can establish a front base and then invade the territories of both participating factions.

This adds an additional layer to the system and should create considerable chaos as well as break up the currently formed front lines somewhat.

What other changes are there? In addition to the already described things, you can expect sensible quality-of-life adjustments. This also includes the function for corps to repair remotely and restore shields. This is also something that players have been wanting for a long time.

Meaningful options like auto-payment for ongoing contracts are also set to come into play with Havoc. The expansion thus focuses on giving players more power and providing them with the necessary tools to do so.

What do you think of the add-on? Did you always want to be on the evil side? Or would you personally not have needed it? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO.

Also announced at the fan fest was EVE Vanguard, a first-person shooter that works for and in EVE Online.

Twitch streamer criticizes how much money his colleagues spend on EA Sports FC: “Disgusts me”

As a Twitch streamer, Carsten alias Elotrix (31) earns his living by playing video games. However, there is one game he wouldn’t play even for money: the new EA FC 24, as well as its FIFA predecessor.

What does Elotrix have against FIFA? As a sports game, the football series does not particularly appeal to the streamer anyway. If it also has EA on the label, it seems to be out of the question for him. However, in a recent stream, Elotrix mentions another reason why he is “1,000 %” sure he will never play EAFC: “Even if they offered me a placement, I wouldn’t play it.”

For him, the franchise is pretty much the worst that exists in the Pay2Win gaming market. Every year, little football fans are ripped off. However, Elotrix criticizes not only the game itself but also some of his streaming colleagues who create content with it. This includes his good buddy MontanaBlack.

In particular, the Ultimate Team is criticized in FIFA/EAFC:

Start video
EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Team Deep Dive Trailer

“Multimillionaires gamble away the annual income of viewers”

What bothers him about his colleagues? Elotrix emphasizes that he doesn’t mean any harm to his Twitch colleagues, but it is “completely surreal” the amounts being poured into the game: “Content creators who are multimillionaires and then gamble away, in a stream, the annual income – not monthly income, but annual income – of normal viewers.”

What particularly seems to bother the streamer is that it is portrayed as downright normal to throw away such huge sums. He goes so far as to say: “It disgusts me.” You can see a recording of the clip here:

https://www.tiktok.com/@highlightflunder/video/7281019445068205345

Elotrix explains that he would never waste the money he earns from the dream job of streaming on something like that. The streamer – not necessarily known for his calm manner – probably has to pull himself together every year anew not to constantly complain about this behavior.

A colleague who might feel addressed by Elotrix is Maximilian Stemmler alias Trymacs. The 29-year-old is often referred to as a “Pay2Win streamer” and frequently invests huge sums in his games. In 2022, there was a major change of heart; he uninstalled FIFA during a stream and even deleted his expensive team. Now he explains why FC 24 will still be featured on his Twitch channel:

“Was a big mistake in the past” – Trymacs explains why he will still show EAFC 24 on Twitch after leaving FIFA

  • This update completely overhauls ray tracing and adds the new AI-based feature ray reconstruction.
  • Light rays and reflections now appear even more realistic. At the same time, performance has been increased.

How this works precisely is explained in this article: Nvidia improves its miracle technology DLSS – Even 5-year-old graphics cards get more FPS for free

Which graphics cards benefit? DLSS 3.5 is not just limited to the latest RTX 4000 series. Cards from the RTX 2000 and 3000 series also benefit from the update. This applies to both desktop and mobile models in laptops.

Where can I get the update? Ideally, you open GeForce Experience and receive the update directly. Alternatively, you can start the search through the “Drivers” tab.

If GeForce Experience is not installed on your system, you can also download the driver version 537.42 directly from the official manufacturer’s site. Usually, you don’t need to restart after installation.

The new features will be available to you in Cyberpunk 2077 as soon as you have downloaded and installed Patch 2.0 for the game. Thus, you are also well prepared for the upcoming DLC Phantom Liberty.

If you want to achieve at least 30FPS in Full HD resolution, you should install Cyberpunk 2077 on an SSD.

EA Sports FC 24: New Mad Ready Event starts today – All information about the new promo

EA Sports FC 24 starts today, September 22, with the first event “Mad Ready”. We will reveal what the new promo has to offer.

Hardly has the player community gained access to EA Sports FC 24 through the Early Access, the first event in Ultimate Team has already begun. The remarkable part: Only players with Early Access can tackle the tasks and rewards of the new event.

However, once the Mad-Ready event is over on September 29, the official release of EA Sports FC 24 will take place.

When does the event start? The new Nike promo starts today, September 22, 2023, at 7:00 PM.

What content does the event bring? As EA itself reveals (via EA.com), the new Nike promo “Mad Ready” brings a total of 5 new special cards into the game, of which every pre-orderer receives one as a random loan version.

In addition, the event is supposed to release new event tasks throughout the week that can only be completed with a Mad-Ready special card. This means that you either have to deploy your loan version or make a move in the transfer market. But maybe you’ll be lucky and find one in a pack.

What these tasks are, however, is currently still unknown. So far, it is only known that upon completing all Mad-Ready tasks, you can claim a reward: an 85+ 2-player pack.

The new special cards from the Mad Ready Event

These are the new cards: Upon viewing the new special cards, one must oddly note that they do not differ from their normal gold versions in terms of values. Only the design of the card is different and the cards have received a dynamic image.

Otherwise, the selection offers a few very strong players. Included are:

  • CM: Alexia Putellas (91)
  • ST: Kerr (90)
  • CB: Van Dijk (89)
  • LM: Chiesa (84)
  • CM: Fernandez (83)
