WoW: You will only get a success if you are too stupid to troll

Trolls in World of Warcraft can be annoying. But you only get a new achievement if you want to troll someone but completely fail at it.

In World of Warcraft, there is a lot to do. But aside from dungeons, PvP, roleplay or engaging in pet battles, there is one activity that is even more fun: trolling friends and fellow players. There are numerous abilities and items that can tease or drive your fellow players in WOW a bit crazy.

Arguably the most popular of these “troll items” just received an achievement. But you only get it if you’re too dumb to use it correctly.

Which item is being referred to? It’s the “Swap Blaster”. This is an item that engineers can craft and you can also simply buy it in the auction house. The Swap Blaster can also be used even if you haven’t chosen engineering.

WoW Swap Blaster Item trans

The Swap Blaster has a short activation time and then swaps your position with that of another player in the party or raid. The exciting part: The targeted character retains their momentum. So if they are running straight, they will continue to do so after the teleport. In comparison: Spells like “Leap of Faith” end your movement, even if you keep holding the run button.

Most players use the Swap Blaster as follows: They position themselves at an edge and wait for their “victim” to move. Then they fire the Swap Blaster and swap positions with their victim. Since the target is still moving, it gets teleported to the edge and takes one more step – which usually leads to death.

We have more about the Swap Blaster in this article.

What do you have to do for the achievement? It’s about the achievement “You Had it Coming”. The task description of the achievement says: “Get what you deserve.”

This is not exactly clear, but the symbol of the Swap Blaster reveals what needs to be done: You must die.

WoW Achievement You Had it coming

To get the achievement, you need to use the Swap Blaster on a fellow player and then die immediately afterwards. This can sometimes happen quite “naturally” if you choose the absolutely wrong moment for a swap, like when the victim is jumping over an abyss. With the swap using the Swap Blaster, you find yourself in mid-air. Since you must stand still to use the Swap Blaster, you have no movement during the swap either – and simply fall into the abyss.

Whether you want this achievement or not is, of course, up to you. Because maybe it’s also the ultimate troll award if you avoid getting this achievement for as long as possible.

If you want to troll gullible fellow players, we can also recommend this poison.

Destiny 2 causes balance chaos like never before: First says „Have fun“, then pulls the plug

In Destiny 2, a serious bug caused balance chaos over the weekend, especially during the PvP event “Trials of Osiris”: Bungie initially allowed the chaos to persist but intervened on Saturday evening, September 16.

What caused the chaos? On Saturday, September 16, we reported on MeinMMO about the serious weapon exploit in Destiny 2:

  • A weapon exploit emerged in Season 22, which spread from China to the West.
  • With the exploit, players could equip “normal” legendary weapons with exotic weapon advantages and weapon frames. Players used the exploit to create weapons that violated every rule in the game and ruined any form of balance.
  • The site PC Gamer refers to “Franken guns” and cites examples of these balance-destroying monsters, such as weapons that function like a mix of a machine gun and a grenade launcher.

On MeinMMO, a user talks about weapons that act like a mix of linear fusion rifle and shotgun, with 12 shots per volley. This is a kind of “God mode”.

“Let’s all have some fun”

What was Bungie’s reaction? In an initial response on the night from Friday to Saturday, Bungie stated that they were keeping an eye on whether the situation became “too wild”, then they would intervene.

But for now, the motto was: “Let’s all have fun.” (via twitter)

Players fear rollback – Some don’t want to play for now

How did players react? With certain weapons, during the time the exploit was active, it was possible to activate a kind of “God mode” and master difficult tasks that otherwise couldn’t be accomplished.

While people could take on the most difficult challenges in PvE in this way, the bug in PvP led to ridiculously high KDAs for the players exploiting the situation.

While some apparently had fun with the bug, it didn’t go over well with many players. They felt that a “rollback” was looming, meaning the resetting of all game content to an earlier time.

YouTuber Datto asked: How can this be allowed? He refers to it as “the biggest exploit we’ve ever seen in Destiny”

On MeinMMO, some players announced they would not play anymore for the moment, as they believe their game progress would likely be reset later.

Players stated that fairness in Destiny 2 is now definitively over.

There was a feeling that “the honest player is the fool”; those who don’t exploit the bug miss the chance for loot and achievements they wouldn’t otherwise get.

Bungie pulls the plug on Saturday evening

How did Bungie respond? On Saturday evening at 20:53 our time, Bungie pulled the emergency brake. They stated that while they loved seeing all the “fun clips and jokes” (via twitter), they now needed to prioritize the health of the game.

They announced that in an initial fix, all crafted weapons would become “unequippable”.

In a second fix, they intend to remove the bug from the game.

There will not be a rollback.

What’s behind it: This is a peculiar situation. Normally, players often complain when Bungie fixes things that are “too strong” and post things like: “Fun discovered – fix incoming”. However, this usually concerns small things that make gameplay more comfortable or bring variety. An example of this was the “Sparrow” bug from 10 days ago.

Here, however, the exploit was so severe that many players’ sense of justice demanded a “hard” intervention from Bungie. Yet Bungie acted contrary to this expectation and the players’ experiences by initially allowing everything to continue.

This seemed unpredictable and was consequently not okay.

Many players have a need for their game to be fair so that what they have achieved means something. Such a “chaos day” sows doubts.

10 cool secrets in Baldur’s Gate 3 that you didn’t know about

In Baldur’s Gate 3 there are tons of hidden references and secrets. MeinMMO has put together 10 fascinating Easter eggs from the game for you.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is full of secret Easter eggs that could bring a broad smile to players’ faces. These hidden treasures from Larian Studios add charm to the world and connect it with various literary works, games, and pop culture references.

Warning Spoilers: The article is not spoiler-free and may spoil parts of the story of Baldur’s Gate 3 and other games.

[toc]

Edgar Allan Poe: The Raven

You have the opportunity to summon a raven named Quothe as your familiar with a spell in Baldur’s Gate 3. The name is a tribute to the famous poem The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe, an American writer and poet of the 19th century.

You can summon Quothe as your familiar.

The reference refers to this quote from Edgar Allan Poe –Quoth the raven: Nevermore – which means “Nevermore, said the raven” in German. The poem is about a nameless narrator who is visited by a mysterious raven that only croaks the one word Nevermore.

Final Fantasy 14 – Tribute to a beloved character

Players in Baldur’s Gate 3 receive inspiration based on their backgrounds and dialogue decisions in the game. In the second act of the game, you can receive an inspiration called A Smile Better Suits…  that reminds of a heartbreaking moment in Final Fantasy XIV.

The Twitter user DividusYliaster uploaded a picture of the inspiration:

This inspiration is a reference to the last words of a beloved character in Final Fantasy 14: A smile better suits a hero… . To remain as spoiler-free as possible for FFXIV players who are still in the midst of the story, we do not mention the character’s name. FFXIV veterans will surely be deeply touched by this discovery.

Cabbage Seller – Avatar: The Last Airbender

In Baldur’s Gate 3, you have the pleasure of encountering a pitiful merchant named Kauz Loryss in Act 3. He stands next to his once magnificent cart, which is now completely destroyed and only populated by sad cabbages.

My cabbage! My beautiful cabbage…

Loryss cannot hide his disappointment and loudly complains about how his business was ruined by this unfortunate incident. The scene is a true comedy moment, making it hard not to chuckle. It inevitably reminds one of the legendary cabbage merchant from the popular series Avatar – The Last Airbender.

He is often humorously depicted shouting My cabbages! as his cabbage crates are repeatedly destroyed or stolen. His recurring bad luck has become a popular running gag in the series and has made him an unforgettable character for the fans.

666 Hit Points – Symbol of the Devil

This time, it is a rather obvious Easter egg that players will quickly notice. When you fight Raphael during the course of the third act, it is worth taking a closer look at his hit points. An obvious devilish reference appears here.

Raphael has exactly 666 hit points.

The number 666 is often referred to as a symbol of evil or the devil. Adding this specific number of hit points to Raphael is therefore a clear and humorous nod to the concept of the devil.

Undertale Mirror Quote

When you click on a standing mirror, your character utters the following sentence: It is I – after all that has happened. This sentence might deeply touch many Undertale fans, as these words remind them of a significant moment from the game.

Full-length mirrors can be found in many places in the game.

The phrase “Despite everything, it’s still you” appears in Undertale when the player interacts with a mirror with the main character Frisk during the game. The reuse of this phrase in Baldur’s Gate 3 is a touching tribute to Undertale.

Here you will find 5 helpful tips for your playthrough:

World of Warcraft Doomhammer

Players can encounter the Doom Hammer in Baldur’s Gate 3, which hints at a hammer from World of Warcraft – the Doomhammer. Orgrim Doomhammer, once a war chief of the Horde, wielded this impressive hammer, which originally came from Draenor.

The Reddit user Rinf_ uploaded a picture of the Doomhammer from Baldur’s Gate 3:

This hammer was also an artifact weapon for shamans in the expansion Legion. Additionally, the powerful hammer played a significant role in the story of Thrall, one of the most well-known figures in World of Warcraft, as it was long in his possession.

The Witcher

In the third act of Baldur’s Gate 3, players can expect an exciting Easter egg. A highly known character from the gaming world appears in the city of Baldur’s Gate, and it is none other than Geralt of Rivia, the famous witcher.

You meet Geralt of Rivia in Shares-Liebkosung

You will find Geralt in the brothel (Act 3), where he is clearly enjoying a break. Beside him is a woman who can undoubtedly be identified as Yennefer. Yennefer is a highly significant figure in the Witcher saga and plays a central role in Geralt’s life.

Portraits from Divinity 2

In Baldur’s Gate 3, there is also a very special connection to another game by Larian Studios – Divinity: Original Sin 2. The game was released in 2017 and is also styled like a tabletop role-playing game.

The connection between Baldur’s Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin 2 is shown in the form of portraits depicting Origin characters from Divinity 2.

The player Gruselgrufti uploaded a picture of Fane’s portrait on Reddit:

These portraits are carefully spread throughout the game and give Divinity fans the opportunity to nostalgically reflect on the adventures in Rivellon while mastering the challenges of Baldur’s Gate 3. You can find Fane’s portrait in the overgrown ruins, where you first encounter Lazarus.

Gale and his love for Shakespeare

One of Gale’s notable lines is a humorous Easter egg from Shakespeare’s works. In Act 3, Gale recites a modified version of a famous line from the comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream: What fools these mortals be – which means “What fools these mortals are” in German.

BG3-Gale-Build-Titelbild
Gale seems to be a fan of Shakespeare.

This comedy by William Shakespeare is a classic work that holds a special place in literary history. The fact that Gale uses this line in modified form in Baldur’s Gate 3 gives his character a certain depth and highlights his intellectual and literary knowledge.

Critical Role

In the tavern Elf Song in the third act, you will be greeted by a special surprise. Two characters in this scene evoke strong memories of Pike Trickfoot and Grog Strongjaw from the first campaign of Critical Role. Pike and Grog share a deep relationship defined by years of friendship and a sense of brotherly love.

This Easter egg makes the hearts of Critical Role fans soar.

Critical Role is a popular series available on YouTube. In this show, voice actors come together to play Dungeons & Dragons. The experienced game master of this round is Matthew Mercer, who also provides the voice of Minsc in Baldur’s Gate 3.

These are just some of the many Easter eggs in Baldur’s Gate 3. What references have you found? Feel free to let us know in the comments!

The largest site for mods prohibits a change to Starfield – anger on Steam

The page “NexusMods” is the largest source for game modifications on the internet: Especially the games from Bethesda, like Skyrim, are known for their numerous mods that allow players and creators to change the game. Now NexusMod has banned a type of mod for Starfield : The choice of pronouns in character creation must not be removed. A corresponding mod has been removed.

This is the situation:

  • In Starfield, one can choose the preferred pronouns of their created character during character creation: This allows for example to create a male-identified character that is referred to with the female pronouns “she/her”.
  • A few weeks ago, a British YouTuber reacted to this, saying: This tiny detail ruins his whole immersion in the game. These are “current topics” that have no place in the science fiction world. The streamer DrDisrespect also sees the indication of preferred pronouns as a political statement.
  • Now someone created a mod and uploaded it to NexusMods that removes this “pronoun” feature from character creation. This mod has been deleted from the site.

NexusMods does not want the removal to be understood as a political statement

This is what NexusMods says: In a statement to 404media.co on Friday, September 15, Nexus-Mods says: Actually, it is not the site’s policy to dictate what people take out or put into a game.

But there are mods with content that we do not want to host:

We did not want to host this mod, and it is certainly within our rights not to provide a home for such content on our platform. This is not a political statement or a commitment to one side or the other in the culture war.

We stand for diversity and inclusion in our community, and removing diversity, even if many like it, does not promote a positive modding community.

In August 2022, the site made a similar decision in the case of Spider-Man Remastered and rejected mods on their site that removed pride flags from the game via mod.

Negative reactions from a small part of the community – “Not sad to see them go”

What is the reaction? Some users of the site announced their withdrawal and said, “this is the death of NexusMods”.

In the forum for Starfield on Steam, there are comments from some angry users cursing NexusMods, calling them “censoring cowards.”

Many Steam users, however, do not understand the outrage: It’s a tiny detail that can simply be ignored or lived with.

The site commented on the negative criticism by saying they feel confirmed in their decision. There is a lot of hate and malice coming from a very, very small part of the community. They are not sad to see these people go.

Especially in the USA, the choice of pronouns is part of a culture war in a politically deeply divided country.

“The car bought him, not he the car” – EliasN97 explains the rules for his 300,000 Euro Lambo

The Twitch-streamer Elias “EliasN97” Nerlich (25) has finally received his long-awaited Lamborghini Urus after much anticipation. He has strict rules about who can get into the luxury vehicle.

What kind of car is it? EliasN97 has treated himself to a matte black Lamborghini Urus, his absolute dream car, as he repeatedly emphasizes. He waited over a year for the SUV, only to find he cannot drive it. It is said to have cost him €313,000.

Now the Twitch streamer has finally taken possession of his car. On YouTube, EliasN97 showed how he picks up the Urus and shared initial footage and impressions. Additionally, a clip is circulating on TikTok where he establishes who is allowed to ride in the car – and who is not.

What are the rules? To keep the white leather seats of the luxury car looking nice for a long time, EliasN97 has established some rules:

  • no jeans – anyone wearing jeans must sit on a special cover
  • no food or drinks
  • those who step in feces must walk
  • children are not allowed to enter the car
  • those coming straight from soccer practice are not allowed in – except maybe with deodorant spray

What are the reactions like? The reactions in the comments under the video are rather mixed. Some can understand the rules well: After all, it is his car, and he can manage it as he sees fit. This way, the car maintains its value – after all, EliasN97 mentioned that he also sees the Lamborghini as an investment.

Other reactions range from amused to bewildered. Some users cannot understand why someone would buy an SUV if they have “fear of dirt” or find the rules too restrictive. One viewer even writes, “The car bought him, not he the car.”

Once he becomes accustomed to the car, some viewers speculate that the streamer will not take cleanliness as seriously anymore.

EliasN97’s Twitch colleague xQc may also wish he had established more rules for his expensive super sports car in hindsight. For example, who gets it in case of a breakup if it is registered to the ex.

Starfield: Low gravity creates a funny situation, player says: ‘I briefly thought I missed my shot’

In Starfield there are planets with low gravity, which can lead to quite curious and funny moments. A player was so confused by a situation that he wondered if his aimed headshot missed.

On Reddit, Unf0cused shares a video on September 14 where he shoots an enemy in Starfield in the head. The enemy seems initially unimpressed, confusing the player. He aimed precisely at the head.

While there is no skill that increases headshot chances, there are many others that are very helpful:

Why did the enemy react slowly to the shot? The player Unf0cused is according to the display on his watch in Starfield on the planet Pontus, which seems to have low gravity.

In the video on Reddit, it is clearly visible how he aims at the head of the enemy and pulls the trigger. For about 2 seconds, however, nothing happens – except that the player receives 16 XP. Does that mean he has killed an enemy?

A moment later, the game rewards him and the enemy falls in slow motion.

You can see the funny situation in the 14-second video on Reddit. It is titled “For a moment I thought I missed.” As of September 15, the post has already received over 8,000 upvotes and 220 comments:

This is what other players say about it: In the comments, some users discuss how firing bullets behaves – or should behave – in such an environment. Others describe funny situations they have experienced themselves in Starfield.

The user Sir-Cellophane comments that he accidentally killed 4 civilians with a grenade. They all fell in slow motion at the same time, despite normal gravity – he couldn’t stop laughing. Others have experienced situations where dead enemies simply stood still.

Another user describes that he set fire to an enemy’s backpack and the enemy was “thrown like a rocket against a low ceiling, in which his head was stuck. He then hung down from the ceiling, like in Looney Tunes.” A user notes: “I didn’t know this game had a cartoon mode.”

Starfield delights especially through the charming details that players can discover on their adventurous journeys through space, during spontaneous missions, and in side quests.

Destiny 2: Extreme exploit allows players to achieve everything right now, but Bungie is not taking any action for the time being

In Destiny 2 an extremely game-changing exploit has emerged that has quickly caught the attention of players. It allows Legendary weapons to be granted exotic perks that significantly increase damage against players, bosses, and champions. This currently turns the entire gameplay upside down and could even mean a rollback.

Update from September 16/ 9:45 PM: Bungie has reached out to players in a new statement. No rollback but a fix for the exploit will come within 24 hours. The developer has created two solutions for this.

We are working on two fixes for this problem. There are no plans for a rollback.

For the first solution, which will be provided within the next 24 hours, we are creating a server-side update that disables the equipment of all crafted weapons. Players will still be able to craft weapons during this time.

The second fix that we are working on and hope to release soon after the first fix will allow crafted weapons to be re-equipped, but the outliers with “illegal” components will be reset to their default state.


Bungie reported this on Saturday evening via Twitter/X.

This extreme exploit is breaking all the rules: In Season 22, a groundbreaking exploit has emerged, first shared on the Billibili video platform and then by CheeseForever via YouTube. It’s currently throwing everything in Destiny 2’s gameplay into disarray, both in PvE and PvP.

  • The latest weapon exploit in Destiny 2 allows players to equip Legendary weapons with exotic weapon benefits and other weapon frames.
  • It significantly increases damage against enemies, including bosses and champions, and is currently breaking the game. Weapons can, for example, fire continuously.
  • The Legendary bow “Under Your Skin” can receive the exotic perk “Trinary Vision” and deal over 500 headshot damage and over 450 body shot damage.

Many players in PvP are powerless against this one-hit kill. Just like the bosses in PvE, where Guardians with their new “overpowered weapons” are currently dealing millions of damage in raids and melting all opponents in no time like ice in a volcano.

Bug grants Exo-Perks through Crafting Legendary Weapons

This is how the crafting exploit works: The extreme game bug currently only works with craftable exotic weapons, such as the Exo-SMG “Osteo Striga”, the fusion rifle “Dead Messenger”, or the Exo-scout rifle “Tale of a Dead Man”.

  • For example, you can select the exotic submachine gun “Osteo Striga” for crafting, and before the game loads this weapon into the enclave, quickly click on another weapon. The game then incorrectly grants the Exo-perk to this Legendary, craftable weapon.
  • Various legendary weapon frames can also be used interchangeably, which creates completely crazy results in the form of overpowered weapons.

This has made it possible for players to use the Aggressive frame of the “Ragnhild-D” shotgun for the automatic rifle “Ammit AR2”, which actually has a precision frame. This gives the weapon an abnormal TTK of 0.1 seconds.

Or that the rapid-fire frame of the “Until the Return” shotgun can be used for the linear fusion rifle “Fire and Forget”, which actually has an Aggressive frame.

How crazy this is currently being utilized in the game by the Guardians is shown in a video from Destiny Bulletin.

Here you see the Legendary burst rifle “Hollow Rejection” which was illegally crafted with the Exo-perk “Trinary Vision” from the Exo-grenade launcher “Dead Messenger”. The result is a continuous fire adventure that is currently breaking the game:

Even on Reddit, players are increasingly sharing videos and combinations with Legendary weapons that defeat bosses and players in a short time using their exotic perks in crazy ways.

This has not only extremely influenced the PvE game but also the PvP experience of Destiny 2.

The streamer FalloutPlays is also amused and appalled. He shows in a video via Twitter/X the crazy and bizarre effects on PvP and suspects that Bungie can only fix this through a deactivation of the enclave, the weapon crafting center of the Guardians, or a complete rollback.

“[…] The longer this takes without a rollback, the worse it will get. You can disable crafted weapons, but how do you revert the damage without a rollback?

Bungie is investigating a solution but allows the Trials to continue

What does Bungie say about this? Bungie has already commented on the issue via Twitter/X and reacted quickly. The impact of this exploit is simply beyond belief and ultimately affects the fairness of the entire game.

What is stunning here, however, is that although the exploit makes everything unfair, they currently have no plans to disable the ongoing PvP endgame, the Trials, for this reason. They are currently only planning to reset the weapons built through the exploit.

We are aware of a problem that allows certain weapon perks to be transferred into other legendary weapons, and we are investigating a solution that will lead to these weapons being reset in the future.

Currently, we have no plans to disable Trials of Osiris due to this issue.

Bungie explained about the glitch via Twitter/X

A potential fix may therefore not come into the game until next Tuesday with the regular server downtime.

In the meantime, Bungie wants to keep an eye on things to ensure that it doesn’t get “too wild” in the game. In this regard, the Destiny2 team has supplemented the first announcement with the following message:

We are exploring all possible solutions and monitoring whether things get TOO wild and we may have to take drastic measures to ensure the health of the game. In the meantime, let’s all have some fun! Igneous Hammer will return to the Trials as soon as possible.

wrote Destiny2Team via Twitter/X

Will you get banned for exploiting? As Bungie has also communicated, players who “discover” the glitch will not receive any in-game restrictions or bans. Along with the explicit note that the use of external scripts and network manipulation tools remains punishable.

However, it should be noted that this does not clearly state what happens to players who actively exploit it. It is not clearly explained what measures may be taken against such players.

The use of exploits in video games is usually against the terms of service or the game rules of the respective game and is therefore prohibited.

Nevertheless, the statements from Bungie and this situation are currently not stopping many players from drastically exploiting, as this is nearly a guaranteed way to become flawless in the Trials this weekend, earn an Adept weapon, or complete certain PvE objectives faster.

More and more players are already resorting to fighting fire with fire and simply joining in on the “Laser Tag Weekend 2.0”.

The impact on the game is immense: The exploit makes pretty much everything unfair and distorts the entire competition. Especially for players who want to remain honest and do not want to use the exploit. They currently have no chance to counter attacks honestly in PvP.

In this context, the player AnthonyNixon states: “I won’t even try to join until it’s fixed. I already play enough weekends against cheaters. There’s no need to also play against exploits that feel like cheats.

MyMMO will keep you updated on what and when Bungie may take further steps and will update this article accordingly.


What do you think about the exploit and Bungie’s reaction? Do you use it yourself or is it a matter of honor for you to refrain from it? And what do you think? Will there perhaps still be a rollback? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Finally, Bungie removed one of the oldest currencies in Destiny 2 because players also regularly profited illegally from glitches here:

Destiny 2 deletes its most important currency because you are either too rich or too poor and have cheated anyway

Starfield: With these 5 useful builds you’ll get the most out of your skills

You can choose from 82 different skills in Starfield. We show you 5 builds so that your skill allocation doesn’t end in chaos.

In Starfield, there are 82 different skills divided into 5 skill trees, which are further divided into four levels. With such a large selection, some questions may arise about where to invest your valuable skill points.

We have already shown you 5 skills that are useful at the start. Now we want to present you 5 builds to help you get the most out of your skills later in the game.

What kind of builds are these? The 5 builds we present here all serve a specific purpose and are therefore very useful throughout the game – especially if you prefer a certain playstyle.

We haven’t just chosen pure combat builds here because they focus on combat, neglecting other aspects of the role-playing experience.

Each of the named builds includes a maximum of 25 skills so that you can – if desired – raise each skill to level 4 in the first 100 levels. However, since Starfield has no level cap, you can of course learn more skills and go beyond level 100.

The Space Pirate

What kind of build is this? A pirate must be able to handle their ship and get rid of pursuing enemies. Moreover, pirates are criminal and ruthless. The Space Pirate build consists of skills that promote a criminal playstyle.

Who is this build for? The Space Pirate is especially interesting for players who like to act dishonestly. You want to pick locks, steal from NPCs, smuggle, loot corpses, and hijack spaceships? Perfect! You occasionally need to shoot your way through and get rid of annoying UC security ships? No problem!

The Persuader

What kind of build is this? With the Persuader, your focus is primarily on leading conversations and pushing various dialogue options. You want to convince your opponents mainly with words and are not afraid of intimidation, manipulation, or bribery.

Moreover, with this build, you will still have some skill points left even if you have maxed out all the abilities mentioned here.

Who is this build for? The Persuader is clearly aimed at RPG fans who prefer to slip into a role rather than barging through the door with a drawn weapon. However, if you do find yourself in a fight, you are skilled with certain weapons.

  • Background: Diplomat
  • Trait: Empath, Dream House
  • Skills
    • Physical:
      • Well-being
    • Social:
      • Trade, Persuasion, Diplomacy, Intimidation, Negotiation Skills, Incitement, Leadership, Manipulation, Xenopsychology
    • Combat:
      • Ballistics, Shotgun Certification, Rifle Certification, Quick Reloading, Crippling

The Stealth Sniper

What kind of build is this? The Stealth Sniper build comes from Fextralife and delivers exactly what it promises: silent, undiscovered approaches and combat with sniper rifles. The goal is to move as stealthily as possible and ideally eliminate enemies with just a single shot.

Who is this build for? This build is aimed at players who prefer to take down their enemies quietly and/or from a distance. It is the perfect combination of both playstyles. If you prefer to rush into hordes of enemies with loud shouting and shotgun blasts, then this build is probably less interesting for you.

  • Background: Cyberrunner/ Soldier/ Industrialist
  • Trait: Alien DNA, Introverted
  • Skills:
    • Physical:
      • Stealth, Weightlifting*, Pain Tolerance, Camouflage
    • Social:
      • Persuasion*, Thief*
    • Combat:
      • Ballistics, Rifle Certification, Sniper Certification, Marksmanship
    • Research:
      • Research Methods, Weapon Technology
    • Technology:
      • Flying*, Security*

Skills marked with an asterisk (*) are not necessary for the basic build and playstyle as a Stealth Sniper. However, since you might have skill points left, they are useful skills that positively influence the gameplay experience and/or synergize with stealth approaches.

What else to consider: In Starfield, your weapons and equipment may have different perks. Some of them provide a noticeable improvement for the Stealth Sniper build, enhancing your damage while aiming or against humans.

Additionally, certain weapon mods like a scope, a long barrel, or a suppressor should be equipped, although you will need to research some modifications first. This is where the Research skills (Research Methods, Weapon Technology) you have learned come into play.

The most important perk for your helmet and spacesuit is called “Chameleon” and allows you to blend in with your surroundings. You can find a legendary spacesuit with this ability during the “Mantis” side quest, where you also get a very good ship.

The Craftsman

What kind of build is this? The Craftsman allows you to enhance your weapons and equipment yourself. This requires a lot of resources and credits, which is why the building of an outpost is sensible.

In order to have enough credits for your projects, part of the build involves making as much money as possible. Skills like Trade, Looting, Thief, and Security are useful here.

Who is this build for? The Craftsman is aimed at players who want to enhance their weapons and equipment themselves. This requires many resources and credits, which is why the build also offers a need for an outpost.

  • Background: Professor
  • Trait: (Dream House)
  • Skills:
    • Social
      • Trade, Looting, Thief, Outpost Management
    • Research
      • Geology, Botany, Research Methods, Suit Design, Weapon Technology, Zoology*, Chemistry, Outpost Technology*, Planet Colonization*, Special Projects,
    • Technology:
      • Security

Skills marked with an asterisk (*) are not necessary for the basic build and playstyle as a Craftsman. However, since you might have skill points left, they are useful skills that enable you to utilize your outpost even better for resource extraction and selling excess materials.

The Jetpack Fighter

What kind of build is this? The Jetpack Fighter is nearly the exact opposite of the Stealth Sniper. Instead of sneaking and fighting from a distance, this build engages in close combat. You charge at enemies with battle cries and let them feel the blasts from your shotgun up close.

To match this, there are skills that enhance your abilities in combat, skills that prepare your physical condition for such fights, and skills that help you craft mods for your weapons and suits to deal even more damage.

Who is this build for? The build is intended for players who prefer to fight at short range and enjoy flying with the boost pack.

  • Background: Bounty Hunter/ Soldier
  • Trait: Terra Firma or Space, Extroverted
  • Skills:
    • Physical:
      • Fitness, Body Training, Rejuvenation, Well-being
    • Combat
      • Ballistics, Shotgun Certification, Aiming, Crippling
    • Technology
      • Boostpack Training, Enhanced Attack Training
    • Research
      • Research Methods, Weapon Technology, Suit Design

What else to consider: The Jetpack Fighter also benefits from various modifications for weapons and suits. So make use of the weapons workbench and research stations, and tailor your weapons to your individual needs.

„I have never been so insulted in my whole life“ – How frustrating the unfulfilled romances in Baldur’s Gate 3 are

Romances in Baldur’s Gate 3 are great. But the rejections your companions can give you can be really painful. You might go to bed crying.

In Baldur’s Gate 3, most of the time it’s about a mysterious cult, plenty of side quests, and finding creative ways to kill yourself and all NPCs in the game as efficiently as possible.

But sometimes, amidst this chaos, there’s a little bit of time for romance and you try to get one or the other in the camp – only to fail regularly. That the lines from those beloved companions can sometimes hurt, is shown by a post in the subreddit of Baldur’s Gate 3 that summarizes many experiences.

Start video
Baldur’s Gate 3 was played for approximately 1,225 years in the first release weekend – Exciting facts and figures

Especially Astarion is known as a heartbreaker. This is not only because he likes to reject players, but also because of his particularly dismissive line that is hard to beat in arrogance and malice.

“It’s not you. It’s me. I have standards.”

These words from Astarion have sparked the Reddit post from Direwisp, which has now collected over 6,000 upvotes. In it, others also share their experiences and reveal with what crushing words they have been rejected.

So Astarion says in response to the question of what to do in the evening besides drinking and partying:

“Sex is great! Not with you, of course.”

Karlach is multiple times “hot” – but can also be hurtful.

By the way, Karlach can be just as devastating. When she is asked: “Are you and Tav actually together?” she likes to respond with:

“Eww, of course not, we’re just comrades.”

Yeah, Karlach, that hurts.

But Shadowheart can also be pretty cold – but that’s why we kind of love her. When you ask her “too early” about intimate activities, she responds:

“I’m not one of the tiefling maidens with sparkling eyes that you just saved. You’ll have to show more legwork before I let you persuade me to hip work.”

And because this humiliation doesn’t seem to be enough, Lazarus also regularly comes by and mocks you for not having a partner so far and having to lie alone in bed.

Yes, Baldur’s Gate 3 can be really cruel at times.

Have you also had such experiences with the failed romances in Baldur’s Gate 3? What line has brought you down the most?

„Only one item will save your character“ – player shows the best item in WoW Classic HC

Preventing your own death – in the hard version of WoW Classic this is important. An engineer item saves many lives.

The way to level 60 in World of Warcraft Classic is tough. It’s even tougher in the “Hardcore” version of the game, because there a single death permanently costs your character’s life. Once dead, there is nothing left to do but delete the character.

Therefore, many players try to secure themselves with as many items as possible to escape death in case of an emergency. But few can match an engineer item.

What item are we talking about? We are referring to the “Target Dummy”, which is an engineering item that summons a small dummy that immediately taunts all nearby enemies and draws their attention. The player Verdidically_ reveals in the subreddit what makes these items so good:

Target dummies are cheap. On [my realm] you can craft them for 8 Silver each.

They attract aggro almost instantly. The stone claw totem may take a few seconds for its pulse, but the target dummy only takes about 0.5 seconds after you set it up.

They have huge amounts of health for their level. Keep in mind that you can get them as early as level 14 or so, when normal mobs have between 100 and 200 HP and elite mobs maybe between 400 and 500. The dummies already have 968. […]

Later, there are even better dummies that have significantly more health and can even tie multiple elite opponents to themselves at once.

These dummies are often combined with a “Hurtigkeitstrank”, allowing your character to flee even faster. With this, it’s even possible to escape the nasty local guards of the enemy faction – they usually make quick work of player characters.

The community swears by dummies: The general usefulness of dummies in WoW Classic Hardcore is undisputed – anyone who doesn’t have one as an engineer is simply leaving a big safety item behind.

  • “That is simply true and the only reason my warrior is still alive at level 50.”
  • “Do you want to know the best part? You can even use them on dungeon bosses! Verdan in the Caves of Wailing or Arugal in Shadowfang Keep or Aukmai in the Depths of Black Grotto. There’s just some extra safety against the hard-hitting bosses.”

Do you also have any items that you swear by? What has saved you from premature death in WoW Classic HC?

Monster Hunter Now starts so well that it can stay on mobile for now

The makers of Pokémon GO have released a new game for iOS and Android called Monster Hunter Now, which aims to lure players outdoors. And this time it works surprisingly well, finds MeinMMO author Max Handwerk.

I enjoy playing Pokémon GO and I am actually a fan of the principle of connecting a mobile game with the real world. It is wonderful to walk around and play at the same time!

However, the last attempts by Niantic to apply a similar formula in other games worked rather poorly for me personally. A few examples:

  • Harry Potter: Wizards Unite died in 2021 after two and a half years and did not become a long-term success like Pokémon GO. I didn’t even get a chance to try it out.
  • I installed the game NBA All-World, but the basketball Pokémon GO did not engage me at all. I deleted it shortly after, and this game was recently discontinued by Niantic.
  • I found Peridot interesting in concept, but when I started it, my phone heated up significantly and the game lagged. That was off my phone pretty quickly, as true enjoyment just wouldn’t set in.
  • Pikmin Bloom, on the other hand, seems to have its fans, but never particularly appealed to me.
  • So far, Niantic has not achieved the success of Pokémon GO with any other game.

Therefore, I assumed that it would forever be Pokémon GO for me when it comes to AR games on mobile. I installed Monster Hunter Now just out of curiosity, to see how it was implemented – actually firmly believing that it would also be deleted from my phone quickly.

But: The first steps in the game are surprisingly promising. And those who like Pokémon GO but occasionally find the game a bit boring could find a really exciting alternative here.

I didn’t realize how much I missed speed in Pokémon GO

When you start Monster Hunter Now, you are immediately placed into a little story that explains that monsters are now roaming in our world and you must fight them as hunters. A small Palico companion will introduce you to the first steps of the game. And it gets straight to the point.

What struck me immediately when I clicked on the first monster in front of my house: There’s no wasting time. The game jumps straight into combat quickly and smoothly.

Now you confront the different monsters, which, by the way, look really good. You can take down small monsters quite quickly with a few swift sword strikes, while the larger ones are more resilient. There you need skillful dodging and circling around the opponent to avoid becoming an afternoon snack.

Monster Hunter Now
Intense battles and a map reminiscent of Pokémon GO

I really liked that. Because when you start trying to catch a monster in Pokémon GO, it takes a while. Spin the ball, throw it, catch animation, bonus screen, and so on – it all takes a bit of time. In Monster Hunter, however, you go from one battle to the next, which fits the action-packed combat that flows smoothly.

It is noticeable that new monsters take their time to appear nearby once you have cleared everything – it feels even longer than it does in Pokémon GO. If you want to complete more fights, you have to head out and find new monsters, which encourages exploration and wandering.

During the first steps in the game, you learn more and more. You can:

  • Use monster parts to forge new equipment.
  • Upgrade equipment and learn special attacks.
  • Craft equipment with elements that in turn match certain monsters.
  • Collect items that give you an advantage in battle.
  • Complete quests for rewards.

Additionally, it is possible to team up with friends to fight against the monsters if you have fellow players.

A first conclusion: Pokémon GO is the king of walking mobile games and will probably remain so for the long term. But Monster Hunter Now shows a lot of potential – honestly, much more than I initially expected.

With its fluid, action-packed battles, it sets itself apart from Pokémon GO and could fill gaps exactly when you feel like there’s nothing new to find in Pokémon GO. I often have that problem when there are no fresh Pokémon around, and you get the feeling of always seeing the same thing.

Monster Hunter Now offers a welcome change. The developers say on their website that more monsters and weapons will be added in the future. The launch is definitely convincing. For my part, I am very curious about what will become of the game.

5 essential mods that every Starfield player should use

In Starfield you can use dozens of mods to customize it to your liking or even expand the content. However, we will show you 5 mods here that do not bring major changes but make the overall game much better.

Which mods are they? Just this week, over 1,000 mods have been released for Starfield. However, the ones mentioned here primarily focus on improving the gameplay experience. There are no major adjustments or skipping of game content but rather the addition of small comfort elements:

  • Instant Scan – All flora and fauna are instantly found with the first scan.
  • StarUI Inventory – Makes the inventory clearer and allows you to sort by various aspects such as weight or rarity.
  • Craftable Ammo and Utilities – This mod makes ammunition, digipicks, and medpacks craftable.
  • Simple Faster Walk – Increases the movement speed of NPCs that you should follow or that should follow you.
  • Starfield FOV – Expands the field of view in the game.

Do the mods work on all platforms? Basically, the mods only work on PC. Official mod support for Xbox is expected next year. It is somewhat different with cheats, which you can transfer from PC to the console.

How do you install the mods? The exact installation procedure is explained on the respective mod page. We will introduce them to you in a bit more detail below.

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

Instant Scan

What can the mod do? Those of you who want to fully map the universe of Starfield need to perform a lot of scans since the game has more than a thousand planets and moons. This task is made more difficult by the fact that flora and fauna usually need to be scanned multiple times to fully capture a planet or moon.

Thanks to the Mod Instant Scan by JustAnOrdinaryGuy, it is enough to perform a single scan to discover everything.

StarUI Inventory

What can the mod do? The inventory in Starfield is considered rather complicated and confusing. The Mod StarUI Inventory by m8r98a4f2 changes your inventory so that it is displayed in a clear list.

There you can also sort the items by type, weight, or value. For example, healing potions or other important items can be found much faster. There are also adjustments for weapons, such as the ability to sort by available ammunition or burst damage.

Additionally, you can press the SHIFT key to buy or sell entire stacks of items directly and make some optional adjustments.

Starfield Mod StarUI Inventory

Craftable Ammo and Utilities

What can the mod do? Crafting is not necessarily Starfield’s strong suit, also because there are obvious things that cannot be crafted. Here, the Mod Craftable Ammo and Utilities by pitufocabeza can help.

This mod allows you to craft ammunition, digipicks, and medpacks, which also relieves you of the annoying search for these items in the chests.

Simple Faster Walk

What can the mod do? In almost every game, NPCs that move too slowly can be annoying. Whether they should follow you or you them, the computer-controlled creatures usually move slower than you.

The Mod Simple Faster Walk by somberX solves this problem. It ensures that the movement speed of NPCs is increased by 30% or even 50%.

Starfield FOV

What can the mod do? The field of view (FOV) can be adjusted according to your preferences in most modern games. In Starfield, this is not possible.

Therefore, the user hellstorm102 developed the Mod Starfield FOV. It works in both first-person and third-person views.

Which mods do you like to use in Starfield? Or do you completely forgo them?

5 Anime that prove to your parents that they no longer expect anything from you

The worst, most disturbing anime abysses of the last years are what we have for you today. Could you endure these series?

In the wonderful world of Anime, there is a lot to discover. Some series shape a whole generation of fans, such as Death Note or Attack on Titan. Others are more for enthusiasts and fans of certain genres. And then again, there are anime that make you rub your eyes in disbelief and pray that no one notices what is happening on the screen.

Or in other words: There are some anime that you can show your parents to ensure they will no longer believe in you when it comes to retirement or general life questions. You might even get disinherited and be excluded from all family gatherings in the future – but hey, you can then spend that time on more anime.

Alternatively, you can also wonderfully use this list when a friend asks you again: “Why don’t you watch anime?” Just send them a link to this article, and you should have peace for the rest of your life.

So, a trigger warning: If you take offense quickly at “questionable” anime, you should rather not continue reading. This is not just about funny things but also tough topics like physical and emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and other cruelties. But I know you – that won’t stop you anyway.

In most fantasy worlds, numerous species coexist. From fairies to devils and succubi, orcs, fire elementals, and more. In the capital of this world, most species live together – and pursue various professions. But that also means that almost every species runs a brothel.

A “brave” group of adventurers has now taken on the heroic task of visiting each of these brothels – and evaluating how the “customer experience” turns out for different species.

What to expect from Interspecies Reviewer: There is a very thin line that separates “anime” from “hentai”. And this line is exactly what Interspecies Reviewer forms. It perfectly hit the boundary between “too much story to be hentai” and “too much sex to be anime”.

The humor is quite solid but is usually overshadowed by plenty of naked skin. And every time you think: “It can’t get any crazier” – in the next episode, you have to take that thought back.

Thus, it is not surprising that this anime exists in several versions of censorship. The variant available in Germany via Wakanim has episodes where there are several minutes with only still images or large “stickers” covering the actions, which you can only follow based on the sounds.

After Keita’s mother died, his father quickly remarried – and the boy is then confronted with two stepsisters who turn his life upside down. At the end of middle school, Keita diligently tries to study to get into the high school his two stepsisters attend.

The only problem is that the two sisters feel more attracted to their stepbrother than is really appropriate – and some other young ladies have also set their sights on Keita.

What to expect from Kiss X Sis: There are anime that have the fascination of a car accident. You just have to look, no matter how awful it is what you are seeing. Kiss X Sis takes this further. Whether it’s the dialogues, the plot, or the images shown – with each episode, the urge to see it finally end grows because this “forbidden love” between stepbrother and stepsisters is, even by all absurd anime standards, extremely hard to endure.

In case of a dare: You get bonus points if you watch this with your siblings.

LoL: Pro plays even abroad, insults a European Twitch streamer: “Go back to your country”

Jang “EMENES” Min-soo is the current midlaner for the LoL team Cloud9. In a match in his home Korea, he faced a European Twitch streamer. He insulted this person and later stated in a statement that he would not apologize to him.

How did the insult happen? In a ranked match in Korea, EMENES played with the streamer Spear_shot. This streamer is considered a one-trick pony for the champion Pantheon. However, the streamer’s lane did not go well. He was ganked multiple times, got few creep kills, and fell significantly behind in the game.

At minute 21, the pro EMENES then wrote: “Ah, a classic. A disgusting EU streamer. Please go back to your country.”

The streamer then shared the action on Twitter, sparking strong discussions. Until then, EMENES had a mixed standing in the community. Some love him for his playstyle, but there has long been a rumor that he is rather toxic.

The pro responded with a statement, saying his team wants to clarify the matter internally first.

“I really tried to win the game, but this guy didn’t want to”

What does EMENES say about the accusations? On Twitter, he stated that he has respect for players from other regions, but not for “one-trick streamers” who drag their entire team down:

I love and respect the LCS and the LEC with their players, but you know, most of the time these one-trick streamers flame entire teams with massive griefing and when someone says something bad, the player is immediately punished? I really tried to win the game, but this guy didn’t want to.

In another tweet in Korean, he explains that not all streamers are criticized by him, but that there are indeed some who constantly ruin the game for their viewers. However, that is not the right behavior in solo queue.

In the end, he apologizes for his behavior, but not directly to the streamer:

I apologize to my fans for my exaggerated remarks. However, I cannot apologize to people who maliciously violate basic rules to attract viewers’ interest, including this streamer.

What does the streamer say about this? He showed the game on stream and explained why it went so poorly. He admitted to two mistakes but also stated that his team did not support him, and he made the best of the round (via YouTube).

He considers EMENES’ reaction to be much too exaggerated.

They lost the match, and in the end, the streamer had a score of 5/8/1, while the pro had a statistic of 8/4/2.

What does Cloud9 say about this? The team also addressed the issue on Twitter, stating that they are aware of the incident, want to address things internally first, and will then make a statement.

Just a few days ago, a pro was banned from e-sports for sexual harassment: LoL pro (24) messages women, Riot bans him for sexual harassment – Now his career is in jeopardy.

WoW now has an achievement that you really have to be heartless for

A new achievement in World of Warcraft requires you to be cruel to an old dragon. Why? Because you can.

Achievements in World of Warcraft are a frequently debated topic. While some players don’t care for the feature at all, others are mainly focused on collecting as many achievement points as possible. Others are only persuaded to do it when there is a cool reward.

However, some achievements in WoW are simply so creative and funny that every WoW fan probably wants to have them in their own collection. Especially with a new achievement, for which you have to be particularly cruel to one of the oldest dragons in World of Warcraft.

What kind of achievement is this? This refers to the achievement “That’s Just Cruel” and belongs to the achievements of leatherworkers in World of Warcraft. The achievement requires you to wear an Onyxia scale cloak and then head into the “Blackwing Lair” raid to slay Nefarian.

After that, you should also travel to the “Blackwing Descent” to repeat the whole thing – according to the description “so that the message really gets across.”

WoW Nefarian That's Just Cruel Achievement
“That’s Just Cruel” – but it’s worth 5 points.

The longer you think about it, the meaner it gets. Because not only do you invade two different “habitats” of Nefarian to defeat him first in living and then in undead form, but you also showcase the scales of his previously murdered sister Onyxia. So you first kill Nefarian’s sister, fashion fancy clothing from her dead body, and then kill her brother. Twice.

Then you don’t really have to wonder why some dragons don’t think much of mortals.

Nefarian will surely think twice about whether he will show up a third time.

Are there more achievements like this? At least many that strike a similar chord. With Patch 10.1.7 Incarnation of Wrath, Blizzard added numerous new achievements for all professions in World of Warcraft. While some are absolute standard fare in the sense of “Craft 500 items of type XYZ,” there are also significantly more creative achievements.

For example, you need to read all 4 books of “Rituals of the New Moon,” an old recipe from “Wrath of the Lich King,” to receive a new toy that turns you into a wolf.

Leatherworkers must embark on a camping adventure and, while under the effect of a campfire, set up a tent, catch a fish, prepare a delicious meal, and take a S.E.L.F.I.E.

If you’re looking for rather unusual achievements to pass the time until Patch 10.2 Guardians of the Dream comes out, you should check out WoW now.

Every companion in Baldur’s Gate 3 has a unique line for when they need to throw a space hamster

In Baldur’s Gate 3 you can throw a space hamster into battle. Each companion has an appropriate phrase ready for that. MeinMMO tells you what it’s all about.

Warning, Spoilers: The article contains spoilers from Act 3.

Minsc is one of the many companions that players can join in their adventure in Baldur’s Gate 3. Many of us already know him from the previous Baldur’s Gate installments. However, this character only appears in the third act of the game.

By his side is his beloved space hamster Boo, to be precise, Boo is actually a regular hamster … but Minsc thinks of him as a miniature giant space hamster. And Boo is more than just a cute furball – he can actively take part in combat. When players use Boo in battle, he doesn’t hesitate to bite hard.

A player of Baldur’s Gate 3 recently experienced a fascinating revelation about the space hamster Boo. The player noticed that Boo has a unique connection to each companion.

Boo the space hamster is more than just cute

What’s the deal with Boo? When Boo is thrown into battle, Minsc occasionally shouts phrases like: Get in the eyes, Boo! Interestingly, however, all other companions in the game can also interact with Boo.

A Reddit user named MassiveWasabi revealed that each companion in the game has their own line to say when Boo is thrown into battle. Here are some possible reactions from the companions:

  • Shadowheart shouts: Show NO mercy, Boo!
  • Wyll might occasionally ask: What would Minsc say? Oh right – Take the eyes, Boo!
  • Jaheira says: ‘Land softly, or else the ranger will break me in two!’
  • Minthara has a quirky preference: ‘I’d rather throw a bag full of spiders.’

How do other players react? The players’ reactions to the discovery of the special interactions with Boo are overwhelmingly enthusiastic and humorous.

Star_Mind expresses complete astonishment and comments: Wait … you can throw Boo!! <Loading a save…>

AlfredPetrelli brings a humorous aspect by pointing out: This hamster has more armor class than most wizards… maybe it’s a space hamster. The little hamster actually has an armor class of 20.

plsnthnks jokingly regrets that he couldn’t use the hamster earlier in the game and states: I wish we could get Minsc and Jaheira earlier. If that had been an option, I would have thrown the hamster for a hundred hours.

These reactions illustrate how such unexpected and humorous details in Baldur’s Gate 3 can delight players and enrich the gaming experience. It’s nice to see how even the smallest elements like Boo’s role in the game can create so much excitement and entertainment.

Starfield: Players wish for a feature so they don’t lose cities anymore

Aside from that, there are also a few useful cheats that can make your life in space easier. However, keep in mind that cheats affect your save files and achievements.

Starfield: The most useful console commands at a glance – Here’s how to activate cheats

In Starfield, there are numerous planets and moons to discover. However, players criticize that they cannot catalog these. Important cities simply get lost.

On Reddit, user Creslin321 describes a problem that apparently many Starfield players share on September 14. He lacks a way to save discovered planets in a database because: they literally disappear into thin air unless he notes them down.

If you are still looking for a good spaceship for your explorations, we have a tip for you:

“I’m losing whole damn cities”

This is his problem: Creslin321 writes in the Starfield subreddit that the fact that he cannot search a database of scanned planets is “a major flaw.” After almost 40 hours, he found that things – presumably planets and individual cities – simply disappear into nowhere.

He writes:

And it’s somehow crazy to me that the game [doesn’t have a database], because that takes away all my motivation to explore space.

If I could create a database of planets to which I could jump for resources or for planning outposts, then exploration would be rewarding… but since that doesn’t happen, it really isn’t.

Creslin321 via Reddit

The post currently has over 5,000 upvotes and around 600 comments. Many players agree with him. Others discuss additional mechanics and features that are missing in Starfield.

Other players say: A comment with 600 upvotes comes from Scuttlefuzz. He writes that Starfield needs a kind of “Discoveries tab” where all systems are listed in alphabetical order. Scanned planets should be integrated there with discovered resources and locations, he argues.

User Distinct-Second-2228 writes that he could hardly believe it when he started Starfield and there was no database for planets and resources. After all, it’s a game set in the future.

“I’m losing whole damn cities. Please give me an option to choose from a list,” adds a user. To which echogecko4 replies: “The fact that there is no easy way to see the cities you can travel to is annoying.”

Who knows what else is to come in the future, because: Some players have already created helpful mods for Starfield. Perhaps a mod to catalog discoveries will come someday.

Aside from that, there are also a few useful cheats that can make your life in space easier. However, keep in mind that cheats affect your save files and achievements.
