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

Franzi Korittke Franzi Korittke Reading time 3 minutes

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*

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

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.

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

Mark Sellner Mark Sellner Reading time 3 minutes

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.

Britta ♤ BeAngel Britta ♤ BeAngel Reading time 4 minutes

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

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

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:

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

Mark Sellner Mark Sellner Reading time 3 minutes

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 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.

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.

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

Lydia Lydia Reading time 2 minutes

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.

Patch 2.0 for Cyberpunk 2077 is now available to all players for free. This brings many gameplay changes. Developer CD Projekt Red therefore recommends creating a new save file to fully enjoy the new features.

At the same time, graphics card manufacturer Nvidia has added new graphics features to the role-playing game with an updated driver. We explain the innovations and where you can download the software update.

What is special about this update? In addition to typical optimizations for AAA games, Nvidia continuously improves its AI upscaling technology DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling).

With driver version 537.42, DLSS 3.5 is now available for Cyberpunk 2077.

  • 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

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

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 2 minutes

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.

New Soulslike is exactly different where Dark Souls stands out: becomes colorful instead of gloomy, relies on Italian folklore

Linda Knabe Linda Knabe Reading time 3 minutes

Enotria: The Last Song is a soulslike game that aims to stand out with a new concept in this genre, appearing on Steam. In the latest trailer, the developers show you the character model and their vibrant setting in a summery Italy.

What is Enotria about? This upcoming soulslike not only relies on a colorful setting in a sun-drenched land, but also attracts with an interesting story concept.

The world has been captured by the Canovaccio – the eternal game – and is trapped in a mysterious standstill. In this world, you are the Maskless and thus the only one free from a predetermined role.

As masters of your own fate, you engage in battle against the powerful authors of the game, collecting different masks to gain new abilities.

The game will be available for PC on Steam, PS4/PS5, and Xbox.

In the latest trailer, the developers present to you the character model, including combat style and how great the environment created in Unreal Engine 5 looks:

Enotria Showcase Trailer

What does the trailer show? In the first minute of the trailer, you are introduced to the main character, the Maskless. Game Director Stoyan Stoyanov explains some of the innovations that have been implemented with their transition to Unreal Engine 5.

The following character features are presented to you:

  • Marks on the arm that glow when you collect magic for your spells
  • The Maskless can change the world around them
  • Changing the equipped mask to gain new abilities
  • Three customizable “loadouts” with their own style, equipment, and slots for abilities

Changing the mask seems to work smoothly in the game – at least in the presentation, you can see how the character brings their hand to their face, and after a bright flash of light, they wear a new mask. However, how the mask change fits into the gameplay is not yet clear.

Next, the developers present the character’s combat style and how much his movements benefit from motion capture. The gameplay has been significantly overhauled, as the developers want to provide not only an interesting concept but also a good and fluid gaming experience.

In the trailer, you can see some small combat clips with various attacks that promise just that: fluid and clear movements that blend well together.

The following gameplay features are presented:

  • Movements recorded with motion capture
  • Multiple parries for an aggressive playstyle
  • AI behavior of enemies
  • A bit of craziness to make it more exciting
  • Various weapons

If you want to see more of Enotria and the gameplay, you can watch the official showcase of the Tokyo Game Show 2023 on Youtube.

Quinta, the sunny city of eternal festivities

Ultimately, the trailer gives you a glimpse into the sunny setting of the game, which has been processed with Unreal Engine 5. You can see, for example, flooded ruins, Mediterranean fields and cities, vibrant murals, and a coast filled with shipwrecks.

Among other things, the first playable area, the city of Quinta, is presented to you, showcasing a beautiful interplay of sun and shadow.

Especially in these final minutes of the trailer, it’s clear what the developers mean when they talk about a brighter and more colorful soulslike. Everywhere you can see the colors you would expect when thinking of a sunny and Mediterranean Italy.

What do you think of this concept? Could Enotria succeed in this genre with its concept and new approach? Feel free to discuss.

Another game for all soulslike fans was released this month and could sweeten the wait for Enotria:

One of the most famous teams in LoL is quitting, allegedly selling its tournament spot for 10 million $

Benedict Grothaus Benedict Grothaus Reading time 2 minutes

Team SoloMid, or TSM for short, is a stalwart of the eSports scene in League of Legends. Now, the team is parting ways with the North American professional league LCS and selling its spot for a hefty sum. The buyer is a newcomer team from Canada.

Which team is it about?

This is what will happen to TSM now: The team will no longer participate in LoL tournaments in the LCS. TSM is selling its “spot” in the LCS. The buyer, in this case, is the relatively new team Shopify Rebellion based in Canada. The LoL team mostly consists of veterans from TSM:

  • Kevin “Hauntzer” Yarnell
  • Lee “Bugi” Seong-yeop
  • Jason “WildTurtle” Tran
  • Jonathan “Chime” Pompinio

As New York Times journalist Kellen Browning now wants to know, the deal is said to have gone through for over 10 million US dollars (via Twitter). This corresponds to about 9.4 million euros.

10 Million for a Spot in the LCS – German Teams Received Even More

A price like this for a spot in the professional league of LoL is quite normal. In the league, teams cannot be promoted or relegated. Only teams with a spot are allowed to participate, and newcomers must acquire a spot.

Accordingly, the “spots” are traded at a high price, even outside North America. The German team Schalke 04, for instance, also sold its spot in the European LEC, at the time for 26.5 million euros.

The team Misfits Gaming based in Berlin also sold its spot a year later. There, the spot supposedly went for about 45 million.

How well the TSM veterans will perform under the banner of Shopify remains to be seen. So far, WildTurtle and Co. have not played any tournaments under the new leadership.

Meanwhile, in Korea, the professionals have other worries:

EA Sports FC 24: The 5 Best Options for Evolutions

Julian Schröder Julian Schröder Reading time 5 minutes

EA Sports FC 24 introduces a major novelty in Ultimate Team with the Evolutions feature to enhance your cards. But which Evolutions should you use and with which cards? Here are 5 suggestions for strong upgrades.

What is Evolutions? With Evolutions, EA has unveiled a new feature for Ultimate Team in FC 24 that allows you to strengthen selected cards by completing tasks. Not only can the rating improve, but there can also be enhancements for these attributes:

  • Skill Moves
  • Weak Foot
  • Work Rates
  • PlayStyles
  • Positions

A player can even be improved multiple times. We will tell you which players you should use here.

5 strong Evolutions for starting in FC 24 Ultimate Team

We present these Evolutions: Here we introduce you to Evolutions and which players could fit well into the available Evolutions. Additionally, we show you what you need to do for each of the individual Evolutions.

However, keep in mind that you can only upgrade one Evolution player at a time.

Timo Werner from 82 to 84 – Founders Evolution

If you start in FC 24 with a Bundesliga team and are looking for a strong striker, Timo Werner could be a very good option – especially with the Founders Evolution. If you place the Leipzig player in this Evolution, you can turn him into a very strong attacker.

Particularly exciting about the upgrade are the improvements in pace (+3), shooting (+3), and dribbling (+3). But the best upgrade is likely the +1 for the weak foot, giving Werner 5 stars there, allowing him to shoot effectively with both feet.

Source: futwiz.com

What you need to do to complete this Evolution:

Level 1:

  • Win 2 matches in Squad Battles or Rivals/Champions (minimum difficulty: Semi-Pro) and have your active EVO player in your team.

Level 2:

  • Win 4 matches in Squad Battles or Rivals/Champions (minimum difficulty: Semi-Pro) and have your active EVO player in your team.

5 important improvements in the career mode of EA Sports FC 24

Darwin Nunez from 82 to 84 – Founders Evolution

At the launch of FIFA 23, the OTW card of Nunez enjoyed great popularity, especially because the striker is tall, physically strong, and fast. In FC 24, his gold card could become popular again – especially if you put it in the Founders Evolution.

If you do this and level the card up to Level 2, you will get a lightning-fast attacker with strong shooting stats, good dribbling, decent shots, and impressive physicality. Additionally, Nunez gains +1 for the weak foot at the end of the Evolution, making him even more dangerous.

Source: futwiz.com

What tasks you need to fulfill for the Evolution we showed with Timo Werner.

Joel Matip from 82 to 84 – Defensive Pace

To turn a slow defender into a fast one, the defensive pace Evolution is particularly suitable. A standout candidate for this is Joel Matip, who defends for Liverpool and could be a great addition if you also improve Nunez through an Evolution.

If you level Matip up to the end, you will get a hefty pace upgrade of 15 points. But not only the pace improves; Matip also gets better at passing (+6) and physicality (82).

Overall, you will then get a fairly competitive defender that no one would have played without Evolutions.

Source: futwiz.com

What you need to do to complete this Evolution:

Level 1:

  • Win 2 matches in Squad Battles or Rivals/Champions (minimum difficulty: Semi-Pro) and have your active EVO player in your team.

Level 2:

  • Win 3 matches in Squad Battles or Rivals/Champions (minimum difficulty: Semi-Pro) with at least a 2-goal lead and have your active EVO player in your team.

Ansu Fati from 78 to 84 – Relentless Wing

With the “Relentless Wing” Evolution, there is a catch that other Evolutions don’t have. It costs. Specifically, either 50,000 coins or 1,000 FC Points. That’s quite a lot, but in the end, you also get a card with a hefty upgrade. For example, you can use Ansu Fati, who transforms from a 78-rated card to an 84-rated card.

The card receives a noteworthy upgrade in shooting, passing, and dribbling (each +7) and even improves its already fast pace (+4). Additionally, he gains the PlayStyle “Relentless”, which reduces fatigue during the game and increases recovery during halftime.

Source: futwiz.com

If you purchased the Ultimate Edition of FC 24 and already have 4,600 FC Points in your account at launch, then this Evolution could be worth considering. Other good options for the Evolution would be Jota (78), Feller (79), or Bouanga (78).

What you need to do to complete this Evolution:

Level 1:

  • Score 4 goals with your active EVO player in Squad Battles or Rivals/Champions (minimum difficulty: Semi-Pro).
  • Play 5 matches in Squad Battles or Rivals/Champions (minimum difficulty: Semi-Pro) and have your active EVO player in your team.

Level 2:

  • Assist in 4 goals with your active EVO player in Squad Battles or Rivals/Champions (minimum difficulty: Semi-Pro).
  • Win 2 matches in Squad Battles or Rivals/Champions (minimum difficulty: Semi-Pro) and have your active EVO player in your team.
  • Play 5 matches in Squad Battles or Rivals/Champions (minimum difficulty: Semi-Pro) and have your active EVO player in your team.

Jobe Bellingham 63 to 79 – Useful Supply (Part 1)

With this Evolution, you have the opportunity to make the otherwise weak bronze cards finally playable. A good choice for this endeavor would be Jobe Bellingham, whose brother Jude is currently causing a stir at Real Madrid.

If you choose Bellingham, you will get a decent central midfielder who can be particularly helpful at the start of Ultimate. All values are stable, and especially the dribbling (82) and physicality (74) stand out.

Source: futwiz.com

Also, this Evolution is especially suitable because you can immediately use the resulting player in the next Evolution. You can further improve Bellingham with “Useful Supply (Part 2)” to receive an 83-rated card.

What you need to do to complete this Evolution:

Level 1:

  • Play 2 matches in Squad Battles or Rivals/Champions (minimum difficulty: Semi-Pro) and have your active EVO player in your team.

Level 2:

  • Win 3 matches in Squad Battles or Rivals/Champions (minimum difficulty: Semi-Pro) and have your EVO player in your team.

Looking closely at the Evolutions, it quickly becomes clear that they can become an important weapon in your arsenal.

What do you think about the Evolutions? Which players will you improve? Feel free to let us know in the comments!

Steam: A new game mixes Cyberpunk 2077 and Dave the Diver – Shows city life between noodle stands and killers

Fabienne Kissel Fabienne Kissel Reading time 2 minutes

A new game is coming to Steam. Nivalis mixes Cyberpunk 2077 and Dave the Diver. MeinMMO reveals to you what the game is about.

What kind of game is it? Nivalis is a life simulator that lets you dive deep into the heart of a bustling cyberpunk city. The game world is already known from the predecessor of Ion Lands, Cloudpunk, and Nivalis actually takes place in the same city as Cloudpunk.

In Nivalis, you take over a noodle bar and have to manage the daily business. You are responsible for finances, the menu, and the employees. In this regard, it is reminiscent of the summer hit Dave the Diver, where you open a sushi bar. The metropolis bathed in neon light is reminiscent of the setting of Cyberpunk 2077.

The latest trailer for Nivalis gives you a glimpse into the game:

Additionally, you have the following options to shape your everyday life:

  • You can relax fishing on your own boat
  • Explore the streets by flying vehicle or on foot
  • Buy real estate, design and decorate your own apartment
  • Maintain a greenhouse
  • Grow your own ingredients, create your own recipes

Ubisoft has “The Division 3” announced, finally what everyone wanted to hear

Britta ♤ BeAngel Britta ♤ BeAngel Reading time 3 minutes

Last night, Ubisoft made the announcement that all The Division 2 fans have been waiting for: There will be a “The Division 3” and Massive Entertainment will be actively involved in the development. However, the revelation of this good news was unclear and extremely unremarkable.

What did Ubisoft reveal about “The Division 3”? In an official announcement on the Ubisoft website, it was revealed that Julian Gerighty has been appointed as Executive Producer for all current and future “The Division” games.

Ubisoft stated that he will be responsible for “The Division 2”, the mobile game “Tom Clancy’s The Division Resurgence“, the survival action shooter “Tom Clancy’s The Division Heartland“, and surprisingly also for “Tom Clancy’s The Division 3”.

  • As the new Executive Producer, he will drive the project “Tom Clancy’s The Division 3”, which will once again be led by Massive Entertainment.
  • At the same time, he is also tasked with ensuring that “Tom Clancy’s The Division 2” continues to receive solid support.

This was undoubtedly the most unremarkable announcement of a sequel that could be made for “The Division 3”.

Thus, it is official, and with “Tom Clancy’s The Division 3” a sequel will come that many fans of the franchise have been waiting and hoping for. And it shows that Ubisoft will finally place the leadership and development of The Division series back into experienced hands.

Currently, Season 11 is still running in The Division 2:

Massive wants to raise quality standards again

That’s why it could be really good: The first two parts of the series enjoyed great popularity, but recently Ubisoft’s decisions regarding The Division 2 have met with increasingly negative reactions from fans.

This went so far that even the most loyal YouTuber turned away from the game and had enough of the developer’s consistent approach of empty promises, excuses, and delays.

With the return of Julian Gerighty, this could now change – at least some fans hope so. They are already dreaming of wandering through a snowy version of Boston or Chicago with their weapon.

Julian Gerighty has been with Ubisoft/Massive Entertainment for 25 years and was involved in creating the original “The Division” in 2016 as well as crafting the adventures of “The Division 2” in the summer streets of Washington, D.C.

However, the outlook for a specific timeline for the sequel looks less than promising.

the division 2 season 9 captain lewis
Captain Lewis from The Division 2

When can we expect the sequel? The announcement states that Julian Gerighty is initially supposed to focus on building a team for “The Division 3”. So everything is still purely in the planning phase.

Additionally, Massive Entertainment has just finished developing the open-world game “Star Wars Outlaws” and is also overseeing that.

Some players therefore suspect that a playable version of “The Division 3” is at least two years away, and that’s already an incredibly ambitious timeline.

Thus, the player TxDieselKid via Reddit writes:

It is […] to be assumed that late 2026 is likely the earliest release date that will be communicated. But as is the case with any game nowadays, it will likely be postponed by 6-8 months, probably delayed again, and in the end, will probably only be released in late 2027 or 2028.

commented the player TxDieselKid via Reddit: the announcement

Even YouTuber and former Division player Charles sees it similarly: “[One will] probably dedicate The Division 2 for another one and a half to two years before The Division 3 is released. Then we are already in 2026. […]”

He also addresses a major wish of many players, which is that they hope Massive will listen more to the players, that they will have a larger team again, and that the game will be playable cross-play.

At least the announcement of The Division 3 is a promising start to an uncertain future. And fans can hardly wait to learn more about this project and where this new journey will lead.

What thoughts or expectations do you have about the announcement of The Division 3 and the unusual way of its revelation by Ubisoft? And do you believe that The Division 3, with Massive and Julian Gerighty at the helm, can return to its former glory? Feel free to share with us in the comments.

Many decisions by Ubisoft have not been the best, much like this one: Ubisoft under criticism: Publisher deletes your accounts if you have not been online for a long time.

A 24-Year-Old on Instagram Inspires Thousands of Fans, Yet She Isn’t Real

Lydia Lydia Reading time 3 minutes

Milla Sofia is an Instagram model like many others. On her account, she posts pictures in colorful bikinis, elegant evening dresses, or tight gym outfits. Next, she might even conquer the streaming platform Twitch, although she is not real at all.

What kind of influencer is she? Milla Sofia is a 24-year-old model living in Helsinki, Finland. With her radiant smile, light blonde hair, and blue eyes, she has already attracted 68,600 followers on Instagram. The catch: Milla is not real; her appearance is AI-generated.

However, that does not stop her admirers from gushing about her beauty in the comments under her posts or even inviting her to dinner. In an interview with the Independent, Milla’s creator and “agent” spoke about his creation.

What does he think of the admiration? The developer, who wishes to remain anonymous, emphasizes that he does not want to deceive anyone with Milla’s pictures: “[Every] description on her social media pages clearly states that she is a virtual influencer created with artificial intelligence.”

However, it seems that many do not read these descriptions. And not everyone appears to be able to recognize the pictures as AI-generated. One user expresses her astonishment under a recent post: “This girl does not exist. It is shocking how many fall for it.”

Moreover, Milla is also expected to model for some brands and companies. According to her website, she brings an unparalleled, futuristic perspective. Her passion is to showcase the latest trends and push the boundaries of the fashion industry.

While nothing has been signed yet, the agent says the plans are progressing well. It remains to be seen whether Milla’s artificial face will soon grace the fashion magazines of this world.

Shooter God shroud compares Counter-Strike 2 and Valorant, has a clear opinion on which game is harder

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

The Twitch streamer shroud compared the two tactical shooters Counter-Strike 2 and Valorant and believes one of them is easier than the other.

Who is it about?

  • Michael “shroud” Grzesiek is a 29-year-old streamer from Canada who has over 10 million followers on Twitch.
  • shroud is known as a shooter god because he plays every shooter at a high level in his streams – whether it’s battle royales like Apex Legends, hero shooters like Overwatch, or extraction shooters like Escape from Tarkov.
  • However, shroud is especially known for the two tactical shooters Counter-Strike and Valorant, which he even played professionally for teams like Cloud9 and Sentinels during his gaming career.
  • Currently, the 29-year-old often streams the beta test of Counter-Strike 2, but shroud is also working on his own shooter.

What does shroud say about Valorant and CS2? In a stream, shroud played CS2 and talked with his teammates about Valorant and Counter-Strike.

During the conversation, shroud said that Valorant is currently the “number 1” first-person shooter. However, he did not mean player or viewer numbers, as he clarified shortly after, adding: “I promise you, CS2 is easier.”

Already in 2020, shroud expressed the belief that Valorant could surpass CS:GO, but at that time, he still believed Valorant was “much easier.”

What kind of discussion is this? Valorant and Counter-Strike are often compared in shooter circles because they are very similar in some gameplay aspects while fundamentally differing in others.

This raises the question for many players of which of the two tactical shooter giants is the better game, and they discuss the topic, for example, on Reddit.

Common discussion points include the user-friendliness of the titles, which game has the better maps or smoother gunplay, as well as the different agents and abilities in Valorant.

On September 23, 2023, Pokémon GO brings you a Community Day featuring Mabula. We at MeinMMO will show you all the content of the event and how to make the most of it.

What kind of event is this? Every month, Pokémon GO hosts a Community Day, where a previously selected Pokémon is in the spotlight. It spawns seemingly everywhere and is accompanied by various bonuses.

On Saturday, it’s happening again, and you can expect the Community Day in September with Mabula. We have summarized the content the event holds for you and how to make the most of it.

Community Day in September with Mabula – Start & Bonuses

What? Community Day with Mabula
When? Saturday, September 23, 2023, from 14:00 to 17:00 local time

In-game shop content: In addition to the mentioned bonuses, you can secure more content related to the Community Day with Mabula in the in-game shop and partially also in the Pokémon GO webshop. The following await you there:

  • Ticket for special research Mabula rasa for just under 1 Euro
  • Event stickers featuring Mabula
  • Community Day hyperbox with 500 Poké Balls, 3 lucky eggs, and a Knursp for 11.99 Euros in the webshop
  • Community Day box with 50 hyperballs, 5 super incubators, 5 lucky eggs, and a premium charge TM for 1,350 coins in the in-game shop

Special Raids: After the Community Day, special level 4 raids will again take place, where you can battle Akkup, the first evolution of Mabula. Please note that these raids can only be played on-site. After the raid, you will be rewarded with additional Mabula spawns for 30 minutes around the arena.

Who should benefit from the Community Day with Mabula?

Mabula, Akkup & Donarion normal (top) and as Shiny (bottom)

How strong is Mabula? Mabula itself is not particularly strong. However, it has an evolution, Donarion, which can benefit from a strong attack stat. With a moveset of Bug Bite and X-Scissor, it secures a place among the best Bug attackers in Pokémon GO. However, in the GO Battle League, the Bug Pokémon doesn’t impress.

Who should take advantage of the Community Day? Mabula is interesting for all trainers who are still looking for a strong Bug attacker for raids. And shiny hunters will also get their money’s worth at this event. Moreover, there is the triple XP bonus for catching. If you are still on your way to level 50, you have the opportunity to farm a lot of XP on this day.

How to prepare for the Community Day with Mabula

Make space: To catch as many Mabula as possible during the Community Day, you should clear space in your Pokémon storage beforehand. So sort out vigorously. We recommend using the tag and filter functions in the game. For example, by entering 0*,1*,2* you can display all monsters that have 2 stars or less.

Have important items ready: In addition to space in Pokémon storage, having the right items is particularly important. You primarily need balls for catching. You should have the following items prepared:

  • Balls: If you want to play all day, you should have at least 200 balls on hand. Here, we show you how to find balls in Pokémon GO.
  • Fruits: This doubles your candies when catching.
  • Smoke & Lure Modules: These attract even more specimens and last 3 hours during the event.
  • Lucky Eggs double your XP for 30 minutes. It’s best to combine these with your friendship level up.

In the coming weeks, a lot will happen in Pokémon GO. We will show you all the events in October and which ones are particularly worthwhile.

Starfield: Fans discuss what the best thing about the game is and agree on one thing

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

The players of Starfield have wondered what the best part of the role-playing game is, and one feature received particular acclaim.

Starfield is a role-playing game that truly offers a variety of features. You can explore planets, build outposts, or play a ton of quests. Additionally, there are cloned children that inhabit your spaceship. Nevertheless, one feature stands out, which fans of Starfield especially appreciate.

What is the best thing about the game for Starfield fans? The shipbuilder.

In the Starfield forum on Reddit, a player asked what the best part of Bethesda’s latest role-playing game is. For him, it is the exploration as well as the fact that there is incredibly much to do besides the main story (via Reddit).

The post received a reply, which with 1,000 upvotes dominates the comment section and declares shipbuilding as the best feature of Starfield. The user ProfessionalSwitch45 writes on Reddit: ‘Pretty much my last two gaming sessions were: ‘I should just see how I can upgrade my ship,’ and the moment I look at the clock again, it’s already midnight.’

Another comment with over 230 upvotes also talks about shipbuilding and customization as their favorite (via Reddit). In general, the love for shipbuilding has been evident in the Starfield subreddit in recent weeks.

Many players share their own creations or post recreations of legendary ships from movies, series, or other video games. Players built the ‘Millennium Falcon’ from Star Wars, the ‘Rocinante’ from the sci-fi series ‘The Expanse’, or the ‘Planet Express’ from the animated series Futurama.

Players praise the gunplay of Starfield

What other features do players enjoy? The second most upvotes (almost 700) actually went to the gunplay (via Reddit). The way the weapons behave in Starfield is simply really good and an improvement compared to the Fallout series.

An extra compliment was given for the implementation of gunfights in low gravity. For example, the shot of a powerful, ballistic shotgun can throw you backward in low gravity and plays quite differently in such situations than laser weapons.

If you still don’t know which weapons you should use in Starfield, we have a small list for you on MeinMMO:

WoW Classic: Main Tank dies with all the loot – no one gets loot

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

Loot Masters in WoW Classic are a good thing. But not in the HC variant – because when the boss dies here, no one gets loot.

When in World of Warcraft the tank dies, it’s actually not a big deal. A resurrection and a new attempt, and then you continue. But not so in World of Warcraft Classic Hardcore. There, a dead tank stays dead – unfortunately also if he carries the loot from the entire raid with him.

What happened? The raid group of the warrior Sardaco had reached the final boss of the raid “Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj” – only Ossirian had to be defeated.

Due to faulty communication, Sardaco misses the correct moment to click the next obelisk. As a result, the boss has a massive buff for several seconds and hits with extreme force. A single hit critically strikes Sardaco for 7,700 damage and knocks him out of life immediately.

Even though the raid group ultimately manages to kill the boss – the loot is lost. Because due to Sardaco’s death, all his inventory is also lost. There is no way to transfer the loot from his character to another one anymore.

The loot from Ossirian is also gone. Since Sardaco was the loot master at the time of the kill, only he can pick up the loot.

From a loot perspective, the entire raid was therefore for nothing – educational but certainly all in all.

Community responds with mockery: Sardaco’s death is met with much derision in the community, as many mistakes in his playstyle are recognized in the subreddit of WoW Classic. Kortiah takes a still analytical look:

No Crit Immunity (just use Shield Block, gg) and to tank with the Lionheart Helm in HC against a boss that has a hard enrage. He says he would click, clicks 2-3 times while he is out of range (you can tell by the gray gear). It’s not like it “doesn’t work”, he was just too far away.

It’s harsh, but this guy deserved his death 100%.

The biggest mistake, however, was that he suggested with the exclamation “Clicking, Clicking” that he would click the obelisk himself – although that was actually the task of another player. This ultimately led to his death and the loss of all the loot.

Why isn’t the loot distributed immediately? In GDKP raids, it is common for the loot to be distributed only at the very end. The reason for this is that all raid members are obligated to stay until the end. If loot were distributed right after the boss kill, then corresponding characters would disappear after receiving their loot and would need to be replaced. Since there was no Dungeon Finder in WoW Classic to easily recruit players during a run, this would take a lot of time every time.

Therefore, it is common for loot to remain in the possession of the loot master until the end and only be distributed after the raid is completed.

In WoW Classic Hardcore, however, this carries the risk that no one gets anything – as this example shows very impressively.

Other characters also die a terrible death – because they “accidentally” blew themselves up.

Cyberpunk 2077 has a new skill tree with Update 2.0 – This is how you level up correctly

Sophia Weiss Sophia Weiss Reading time 3 minutes

One of the most important new features in update 2.0 for Cyberpunk 2077 is the new skill tree. CD Projekt Red has nearly completely overhauled the original version, especially streamlining it. What you need to pay attention to while leveling up is discussed here.

How is the skill tree structured now? When you open your character menu and go to the “Character” tab, you see the attribute overview: Constitution, Reflexes, Technical Ability, Intelligence, and Coolness. The mysterious Relic attribute will only be available with the DLC Phantom Liberty, which will be released on September 26.

The new overview of the attributes after update 2.0 for Cyberpunk 2077. Still without the Relic, which can only be unlocked in the DLC.
You unlock your attributes with attribute points. The number you have available can be seen to the left of the tiles.

The biggest change is in the layout of the detailed skill trees for the individual attributes. To view these, click on the desired attribute. The new advantages tree is now displayed from bottom to top.

For each attribute, you can unlock four levels of so-called advantages. To do this, you must have allocated certain minimum points. All attributes start with three base points.

  • Level 1: from 4 points
  • Level 2: from 9 points
  • Level 3: from 15 points
  • Level 4: from 20 points

What has changed? Especially the layout of the advantages. Before the 2.0 update, they were implemented in large, intersecting structures – passive talents and unlockable skills were arranged chaotically.

How confusing the skills were sorted before the update can be seen at our colleagues from GameStar.

New is also that you can take back your allocated advantage points. This was not possible before the update. So you don’t have to reset your entire character for a respec, but can decide selectively whether and which skills you want to use when.

Additionally, CD Projekt Red has reduced the total number of available advantages and added new ones. For the new auto fights, you can now learn to hack cars and motorcycles, for example.

In the video, you can see some of the new advantages in action:

Cyberpunk 2077: Everything about the free update 2.0, start time, and 3 things you should do now

Attributes, Advantages, and Skill Progress – how do you level up what after update 2.0?

How do I get attribute and advantage points? Most of your attribute and advantage points, with which you unlock your skills, you get when you level up. Occasionally, you also unlock points with the “skill progress”.

How do I distribute attribute and advantage points? To distribute your attribute points, hold down the left-click. Alternatively, you can also allocate attribute points in the already selected advantages menu. To do this, click on the upward-pointing arrow icon to the left of the advantages tree.

You can distribute advantage points with a simple left-click on the desired advantage. The only thing to note is that for certain advantages, you must have partially or completely skilled a main advantage first.

To level up the advantages, you may first need to unlock other advantages and additional attribute points.

An example: If you want the advantage “Transfusion” for 30% more health when using a healing item in technical abilities, you must first have chosen the advantage “War Addiction”. You can also see from the upward connection that “War Addiction” is a prerequisite for “Health Freak”.

How do I level my skills? You cannot level your skill progress actively but passively. To do this, you simply need to play: If you sneak a lot and surprise opponents from behind, your assassin skills increase. If you surprise your opponents with quick hacks and use your technical skills, your level as a netrunner increases.

You unlock new skills at all five levels. This can be more damage for certain attacks or also an increased storage capacity for quick hacks.

Players give helpful tips to the desperate fan

What are the tips? Meanwhile, the Reddit post has gathered over 600 comments where players share their best tips for the frustrated player.

Examine enemies: The top comment comes from Full-Sympathy-3404. He emphasizes the importance of right-clicking to examine enemies and shares his insights on how this simple trick can enhance the gaming experience:

It directly shows you their stats, resistances, saving throws, and armor classes. Once you know what you’re dealing with, you can plan accordingly and use abilities against which they are likely not resistant or that they cannot save against to avoid wasting your actions. Take your time in combat and out, and read everything you can.

You also have the option to simply hover the mouse over, for example, enemies and press the T key to examine them.

Rogue tip: Additionally, the user gives the player valuable tips for his rogue problem. For rogues and other characters, he advises using invisibility, whether through potions, scrolls, or learned spells and class abilities. He also explains how shadow monks can benefit from their abilities to hide themselves. Therefore, multiclassing is also recommended.

More tips from the community

Other players also shared helpful tips under the Reddit post, which we have compiled for you here:

Easier hiding: Gamedogmillionaire emphasizes that the game changer for stealth mode was the following insight: L-Shift (Shift key) shows the enemy’s field of vision, which is handy when planning to hide. He emphasizes: Often, just moving a few meters is enough for your rogue to successfully hide and execute the sneak attack.

Finding items: Lyramion did not know until the goblin camp that there was a specific key to better find items. The Alt key allows you to see all items you can pick up.

Using water skillfully: GaiusJuliusPleaser has a specific tip: Water, either in containers or from spells, can be used to double the damage caused by cold and lightning damage.[…]

Identifying spell slots: Polyglotpinko explains how to recognize the stock of spell slots: On the bar are spell dice. When the dice are full, you have spell slots. If not, you have none, except for cantrips, which state cantrip in the tooltip.

More damage with dexterity classes: PloepiPlayer explains: Is your dexterity good? Your dexterity score affects how easy it is for you to land attacks with ranged or finesse melee weapons (and how much damage they deal). If your character misses a lot, try to increase your dexterity (Lazarus can do that). […] This applies to the dexterity classes ranger, rogue, and monk.
