It’s worth playing Starfield more often – Because then strange things happen

Jasmin Beverungen Jasmin Beverungen Reading time 2 minutes

Mostly, the process in New Game Plus is always the same: We take over our character along with their skills and the level with which we completed the first run. Starfield takes New Game Plus to a new level and provides us with one of the craziest features we have ever seen in a game.

Attention, Spoiler: This article contains spoilers about the ending and the New Game Plus of Starfield. If you don’t want to hear anything about it, it’s best to come back at a later time.

What’s so crazy about it? In every run of Starfield, it’s possible for your game state to change a bit. At the end of Starfield, you enter a new version of the multiverse, where different circumstances may apply.

This includes the following scenarios (via gamerant.com):

  • The Constellation consists of different versions of yourself who have joined different factions.
  • Sarah Morgan is a plant.
  • Cora Coe, the adult daughter of Sam Coe, holds you responsible for her father’s death.
  • An evil version of yourself attacks Sarah Morgan.
  • A younger version of yourself is already with the Constellation.
  • Walter Stroud purchases the Constellation.
  • The hunter kills all members of the Constellation.
  • The Constellation consists of children.
  • Andreja kills all members of the Constellation.
  • Only Vasco is the sole survivor of the Constellation.

However, not every run is different, which means you might have to complete the game 4 or 5 times before the universe change is triggered. To be completely sure, you should save Starfield just before the end during the 4th or 5th run and run straight to the Constellation in the new game state.

If nothing has changed, you can simply reload the game state and try again. However, you need to have some patience, as the ending scene cannot be completely skipped.

What changes in New Game Plus in Starfield

Is New Game Plus worth it for me? New Game Plus is always a great opportunity to catch up on missed side quests. However, the described changes seem to only affect the Constellation. The rest of the game world remains the same, and you have to complete the same tasks:

Even the locations where you find the artifacts have remained the same. This has the advantage that you can complete the game faster and move on to the next run. On the other hand, it might be too little incentive for some players for a New Game Plus if the effects are only visible with the Constellation.

However, there is a trick to shorten a run: You can tell the Constellation that you are a Starborn and therefore have already seen several versions of the multiverse. This way, you can skip the story and go directly on the journey to gather the artifacts.

Therefore, you should decide for yourself whether you want to invest the additional playtime to see an alternative universe of the Constellation.

Diablo 3: Which class will you play in Season 29? Ask the Wheel of Fate

Patrick Freese Patrick Freese Reading time 2 minutes

The start of Season 29 in Diablo 3 is approaching. Which class do you want to play? Or are you still undecided and need the help of the Wheel of Fate?

What’s going on in Diablo 3? Tomorrow, Friday, the last season with new content in Diablo 3 starts. Accordingly, the anticipation is high among some players to try one last time what Blizzard has to offer for the game.

In our article, we offer you a survey where you can fill out with which of the seven classes you will play. If you are unsure, we also have the patch notes for you, where you can find the class balancing. If you don’t care which class you play, just spin the Wheel of Fate and let “fate” decide for you.

What changes in Season 29?

The seasonal theme: With the theme “Visions of Hostility,” portals will randomly appear while playing, where you will encounter powerful bosses. The good news: Powerful bosses drop powerful loot!

Additionally, there is a new solo mode, where you are completely on your own. Without the help of other players.

Balance changes:

  • For the Crusader, there are adjustments to Akkhan’s Mercy and the Belt of the Guardian
  • For the Demon Hunter, the Gear of Terror set has been optimized
  • For the Witch Doctor, adjustments have been made to the Manajuma set and the Chicken

You can find the complete contents of Season 29 as well as all balance changes and bug fixes in our overview of Season 29 with patch 2.7.6 in Diablo 3.

WoW: Patch 10.2 could be the last major patch of Dragonflight

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

World of Warcraft Dragonflight might soon come to an end. Because the next patch could also be the last one.

World of Warcraft Dragonflight delivers more content and faster than ever before in the history of WoW. But how long will this last until there are no new contents left? There are now first hints that Patch 10.2 Guardians of the Dream will be the final, major content update for Dragonflight.

This would mean that Dragonflight has “only” three raids and two major patches, in addition to the smaller patches.

Start video
WoW: New cinematic shows why night elves have to worry about their home again

What supports this? There are currently four main points that suggest Patch 10.2 could be the last major patch of Dragonflight. The first major indication is the story of Dragonflight. Although only Raszageth has been defeated so far and the other three incarnations are still alive, everything points to the fact that we only need to defeat Fyrakk. Because:

Vyranoth joined the aspects in Patch 10.1.7 and is now working with Alexstrasza. She is, at least currently, no longer an enemy.

Iridikron has disappeared into the Void through a portal. His words suggest that he is working on something bigger, which probably doesn’t happen within “a patch”.

WoW Alexstrasza Vyranoth title title 1280x720
Once friends – and soon likely again. Vyranoth has joined Alexstrasza.

This leaves Fyrakk as the last incarnation that needs to be temporarily stopped, which will happen in Patch 10.2 Guardians of the Dream. Afterwards, as of now, the incarnations are no longer an acute threat.

Furthermore, there has been no data mining so far that would indicate Patch 10.3. In contrast, some content from Patch 10.2, namely the Emerald Dream, has already been discovered in the beta of Dragonflight.

The third point is that Blizzard has not yet confirmed Patch 10.3 and is also avoiding this topic in interviews. They do not give clear answers as to whether there will be another major patch after Patch 10.2. This may, of course, be to keep the focus on Patch 10.2 – or to avoid the community discussing that Dragonflight is “already over” (In this case: Sorry, but I regret nothing!).

WoW Roadmap 2023 Patch 102
The roadmap ends with Patch 10.2 – is there more to come?

Lastly, the previously published “roadmap” of WoW supports this. Because this only goes up to Patch 10.2. Fairness must be taken into account, however, that the roadmap is supposed to go only until the end of 2023 and there will be new announcements “beyond the roadmap” as well.

This leaves Blizzard uncertain as to whether they mean a later date or more content that will be released in the announced patches.

Is Patch 10.2 the end then? This is also rather unlikely. Even if Patch 10.2 should be the last major patch, we should still expect some smaller patches, such as Patch 10.2.3, 10.2.5, or 10.2.7. Because Blizzard generally wants to stick to the quick release of new content and will most likely also host a “Season 4” again, during which all Dragonflight raids will gain relevance once more.

This season would then run similarly to the last season of Shadowlands – even there, all raids were again relevant at that time. This final season was fundamentally a bit faster and should refocus on all the different raids and stories of the expansion. This could also be in store for Dragonflight.

von Cortyn

What does this mean for the future of WoW? If Patch 10.2 really is the last major patch, it could have implications for the timeline regarding when we can expect the next expansion. Because if Blizzard attempts to maintain the rhythm of 6-10 weeks between patches, the release of the next expansion could be as early as August or September 2024.

We will likely only get concrete information on this at BlizzCon 2023 in November, after which it will be an exciting time for all WoW fans. And until then, we can speculate a little together.

Until we know more, you can unlock flying on the Dragon Isles.

Starfield brings first major update and a feature that many players have long demanded

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

Bethesda has announced that the first major update for Starfield is coming soon. Included is also DLSS, which many players demand. However, there may be a limitation.

Bethesda has unveiled its first major update for Starfield. At the same time, they published the first hotfix for Starfield, which fixes important bugs.

The first major update will include a lot of comfort features that players have long wanted. The requested features include, for example, a FOV slider and support for DLSS.

Start video
Starfield shows the Chronomark watch of the Constellation Edition

DLSS is coming to Starfield, but it is unclear which version

What exactly is coming? Bethesda has presented a whole range of content that will arrive with the first major update for Starfield. These include, among others (via videocardz.com):

  • Brightness and contrast settings
  • Menu HDR calibration
  • FOV slider
  • Nvidia DLSS support (PC)
  • Support for 32:9 ultra-wide monitors (PC)
  • Eat key for eating

What is the problem? So far, it is not clear which version of DLSS will be implemented in Starfield, as there are significant differences:

  • DLSS 3.0 offers many new features, such as frame generation. The problem: DLSS 3.0 is exclusive to RTX 4000 graphics cards. This would exclude thousands of players who are playing with an older graphics card.
  • While DLSS 2.0 lacks new features such as frame generation, 2.0 can also be used with older Nvidia GPUs.

Bethesda has only stated so far that Nvidia’s DLSS will be supported with the next update on PC and that they want to work closely with AMD, Nvidia, and Intel to improve performance. However, they did not specify the exact version of DLSS. It is also unknown whether they plan to address the optimization of Starfield in the future.

If only DLSS 3.0 is included, owners of older Nvidia GPUs will still have to use AMD’s FSR 2.0 for upscaling, which is already present in the game. The great strength of FSR is that you can use the software with Nvidia and Intel graphics cards as well. An AMD graphics card is not a requirement.

Players have long demanded DLSS for Starfield

Why do many players demand DLSS for Starfield? Starfield has demanding system requirements and you need a reasonably fast gaming PC if you really want to enjoy the game. You can also play Starfield with weak hardware, but you don’t really want that.

This is where software like DLSS or FSR comes into play: Nvidia’s DLSS and AMD’s FSR are upscaling technologies that calculate the game at a low resolution and then upscale it. This way you save performance and get better performance.

That is why many demand that Nvidia’s technology finally comes to Starfield, as it is considered better and more mature than AMD’s counterpart. After all, AMD has already introduced a new and improved version of its own upscaling technology with FSR 3.0.

Valorant: Team becomes champion, but instead of celebrating, the players receive a terrible message

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

In gaming, there is currently worldwide talk of an E-Sports winter: E-Sports seemed like the next big thing in 2016. Analysts compared it to the hype around poker. Investors pumped millions of US dollars into teams, leagues, and stadiums. Now, however, the crisis has broken out, and the professionals from Valorant are also noticing it.

This is currently the bitter news at Valorant:

  • The team “Evil Geniuses” won the championship in the tactical shooter from Riot Games in 2023: Valorant is currently considered a hot E-Sports title.
  • However, the team around Americans Boostio and ScrewFace experienced a harsh awakening just weeks after the championship celebration: The organization put the players in a tough position.
  • The players of the champions have a choice: Either they find a new team right away, or they can stay with Evil Geniuses, but will be paid significantly less. An insider reported this on September 11.

This is the report: Two weeks ago, the CEO of Evil Geniuses announced her resignation after a year full of controversies. Things weren’t going well for the team in CS:GO and LoL, but they became champions in Valorant.

However, the problems had been evident since September 6: The team released 4 substitute players.

On September 11, Dotesports then reported: The core players were told they could leave the team now and find a new team or continue playing for less money at Evil Geniuses.

Regarding this news, the portal referred to Max Katz, a Valorant reporter with good contacts. Nobody doubts the authenticity of this report. Especially since the players have also expressed themselves on social media in a way that has given the report additional significance and credibility.

Update September 14, 9:29 AM: As is now known, the team allegedly proposed to players to forgo about 50% of their salaries (via dexerto).

Are they really that expensive? No, apparently not. As Dotesports reports, the players of the champions are relatively inexpensive: According to reports, the “core players” supposedly earned about $25,000 a month, while the substitutes earned $4,500.

With coaches, the annual budget would be around $1.5 million. While that’s still money, it’s relatively cheap compared to the budgets of comparable teams, reports Dotesports.

Why is that? The E-Sports industry is currently in a crisis worldwide, especially in the USA. There is talk of an E-Sports winter: E-Sports has not developed as hoped in recent years, revenue opportunities are shrinking, and teams are either going bankrupt or cutting their budgets:

  • This is evident in Fortnite, which has not done anything comparable since the large World Championship in 2019. Many professionals switched to Valorant when the prize money dried up there, where it now also looks bleak.
  • The expensive Overwatch League appears to be becoming a huge problem for Blizzard.
  • Even LoL is facing problems in some regions, particularly in the USA, especially in the second division.
  • The trend shift is particularly evident in the plummeting stock of the notably cool E-Sports organization FaZe: The IPO is increasingly proving to be a tragedy.

There has been little negative feedback regarding the two Valve E-Sports titles, CS:GO and DOTA 2.

In Starfield there is a helpful skill that greatly simplifies lockpicking

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 2 minutes

Lockpicking is part of Starfield if you want to discover hidden loot and interesting places. A helpful skill simplifies the system significantly.

In Starfield, it can be advantageous to pick locks to gain access to loot in safes and chests or to enter areas behind locked doors. Moreover, the ability to hack locks and computers can also occasionally be useful for quests.

The whole process takes place in the form of a mini-game, which can be a challenge for some players – especially at higher levels of locks.

Fortunately, there is a very helpful skill that simplifies lockpicking.

Pay attention to the blue rings

What kind of skill is that? On X, formerly Twitter, the user “Miss Atomic” pointed out on September 10 that the rings give you a very important hint when picking locks. The rings of the lock light up blue when the selected key fits.

However, to unlock this help for picking locks, you need to level the skill “Security” in Starfield to rank 2. With this skill, not only do you see the blue rings – you can also pick more difficult locks depending on your rank.

This is what the rings show you:

  • multiple rings light up blue, indicating that the selected key fits multiple rings
  • if none of the rings light up blue, the selected key doesn’t fit any ring and can therefore be ignored.

With rank 4 of the skill, even keys that do not fit any ring and are therefore unnecessary can be eliminated.

Starfield: Many resources can be mined twice as fast if you use a simple trick

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

If you want to mine ores like iron and aluminum twice as fast in Starfield, a simple trick can save you time.

Already in the first seconds of Starfield, the game gives you the “Cutter,” a mining laser, and wants you to mine resources. The various ores that you can farm with the laser will be needed again and again – for example, when building an outpost or crafting certain objects.

Those exploring the planets in Starfield will sooner or later find themselves in front of some ores with the laser and will mine them. You can save time by following a simple trick.

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

A single button saves you time while farming

How can you mine ores twice as fast? You can mine ores much faster with a charged laser beam than when using the normal firing mode.

Once you have equipped the mining laser, do not shoot immediately, but first press the right mouse button (Mouse 2) or LT on your Xbox controller – the button you use to aim with firearms.

By pressing the aim button, the three outer bars of the crosshair move inward and close the gaps. Once the bars are as far in the middle as possible, your laser beam is charged and has increased power.

While the laser beam is red in normal firing mode, it turns yellow-orange when charged and fired. It then appears significantly more powerful and energetic, allowing you to farm resources in seconds – a small but simple trick that saves time and is easy to overlook.

In WoW Classic, strangers risk their only life to save players from mighty monsters

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The players of WoW are usually considered heartless and cold. But WoW Hardcore seems to awaken a new side: players show something like “compassion” and help each other, even someone who actually deserves to die because they were so careless.

This is the situation:

  • In WoW Classic Hardcore, each player has only one life. If you die, you are dead and must create a new character.
  • As a result, some tricks from Blizzard in World of Warcraft, which are usually hardly noticeable, suddenly become important: such as monsters that are much stronger than the area they appear in.
  • This mechanism suddenly makes legendary foes from the past exciting again.

Player goes AFK in a “safe” city – Major mistake

This was a player’s problem: A player named Loogie went AFK in WoW Hardcore in the middle of a village, Darkshire. He felt safe there.

What he did not know or had already forgotten: In WoW, there is a mob called “Little” (Stitches). The monster spawns when players complete a certain quest and runs towards Darkshire to kill anyone in its way.

Because Little is a level 35 elite mob, it can cause a lot of damage in the region. It tramples the guards of Darkshire like Godzilla in Tokyo.

Normally, Little is taken down by a higher-level player before it appears in Darkshire, but in WoW Hardcore, there are very few such players, so Stitches set out to devastate the city of Darkshire.

The player Loogie would most likely have died in the middle of Darkshire and lost his character.

Little (Stitches) is a famous mob in Blizzard’s games: He also exists as a playable hero in Heroes of the Storm, as a card in Hearthstone, and even as “Pudge” in Valve’s DOTA 2. He is an abomination and was represented as such in Warcraft 3 – many know his cousin, “Patchwork,” from Naxxramas.

What happened instead? As a player recounts on reddit, strangers discovered Loogie and preempted his impending doom. They banded together and risked their own lives to kill Little and save Loogie.

They told Loogie about their heroic feat in a letter. It is said that even higher-level players were summoned to save the AFK player.

WoW Hardcore brings strangers together

Why is this so special? Normally, WoW players only care about their own friends and guild members. Any other, “so-called randoms,” are actually irrelevant and hardly worthy of attention. They are seen as rivals in the fight for loot and mobs.

That in WoW Hardcore now people help a stranger, even someone who apparently messed up, is a rarity and earns much praise in the reddit forum:

  • One says: “We did everything for Loogie, and he survived. He logged out one or two minutes later.”
  • Another says: “I was there. He resisted all my spells, but damn it, I fought for Loogie and risked my only life.”
  • A third user says: “Hardcore WoW has slowly begun to restore my faith in humanity.”

Another Reddit user simply sighs: “That’s so sweet.”

This player was less fortunate. He had friends, but also misfortune:

Baldur’s Gate 3 is full of diverse and great spells – you can easily lose track. We show you 7 spells that every group should have.

In Baldur’s Gate 3, there is a variety of different spells. Whether for combat against individual enemies, entire hordes of opponents, or simply social interactions like conversations. There are many spells, and some of them are more useful than others. Some can be used almost every minute, while others have very limited uses.

We have compiled a list for you of the 7 most important spells from Baldur’s Gate 3 that cannot be missing from any group.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is coming to PS5 – Trailer prepares for console release

1. Divine Guidance

Available for: Cleric, Druid, Warlock

Divine Guidance is a spell that you will probably encounter fairly early via Shadowheart.

Divine Guidance grants you a bonus of 1d4 on ability checks for every roll. Whether you want to charm your conversational partner, pick the lock of a chest, or appear particularly intimidating. Divine Guidance is the all-in-one solution among spells – and it even counts as a cantrip. You can use the ability an unlimited number of times per day without consuming any resources.

Especially important: Make sure that Shadowheart – or your character who knows this spell – is always nearby when you start a conversation. Because only then can the character use Divine Guidance as a reaction in the conversation.

2. Eldritch Blast

Available for: Warlock

Eldritch Blast is also a cantrip that is typically only accessible to Warlocks.

What’s useful is that Eldritch Blast deals “Force Damage,” which bypasses some resistances from enemies and can also be used to destroy objects like doors or chests, facilitating progress.

Warlocks can upgrade the cantrip starting at level 2, adding extra damage or knocking impacted enemies back a few meters, making them fall off into an abyss with some luck.

Like most cantrips, Eldritch Blast gets better as you level up, allowing you to fire up to 3 beams per round at the same or different targets.

3. Counterspell

Available for: Wizard, Warlock, Sorcerer

Stronger than any spell of your own is an enemy spell that does not get triggered – that’s exactly what Counterspell allows. Whenever an enemy nearby wants to cast a spell, you are asked if you want to negate that spell with Counterspell. This way, many spell bosses lose their power and become harmless melee fighters.

However, keep in mind that to use Counterspell, you not only need to have a spell slot available but also your reaction in that round. So if you have a spell caster with Counterspell, you should disable their automatic opportunity attacks, as they might otherwise waste your reaction.

4. Spirit Guardians

Available for: Cleric

Spirit Guardians is one of the most powerful cleric spells ever. After casting, there is an aura around the cleric that either deals radiant or necrotic damage – to all enemies who touch this aura. Even on a successful saving throw, the victim still takes half damage.

The aura is perfect for taking out a number of small enemies that would otherwise require individual attacks. Your cleric can simply “walk through enemies” with the activated aura and deal a lot of damage – just make sure that you don’t provoke an opportunity attack while doing so.

Baldur's Gate 3 Karlach Shadowheart title 1280x720
The right spell for every situation.

5. Bless

Available for: Cleric, Paladin

One of the underrated spells in Baldur’s Gate 3 is Bless. The spell grants 3 targets (and more when upgraded) a +1d4 bonus on their attack rolls and a +1d4 bonus on their saving throws – and this lasts for 10 rounds or until concentration is broken.

In simple terms, the spell increases your hit chance with both melee and ranged attacks by 5% to 20% and makes you more resilient against many effects.

This spell is particularly strong when you retrieve the staff from the cellar of the Mage Tower in the Underdark. Because then “Bless” provides double values – so +2d4 on attack and saving throws and an additional 2d4 on spell attacks. But even without the staff, Bless is wonderful.

Bless can single-handedly decide a fight – because with the blessing, you can easily survive many fights that would otherwise have been really tough.

6. Hunger of Hadar

Available for: Warlock

Hunger of Hadar is the perfect spell to delay the entrance of multiple enemies into the fight while also imposing major disadvantages on them as they approach.

  • Creatures that start their turn in the spell area take 2d6 cold damage.
  • Creatures that end their turn in the spell area take 2d6 acid damage.

Additionally, all creatures within the very large spell area are blinded, and the spell area counts as difficult terrain – meaning they only move at half speed.

Ultimately, this combination results in a large portion of enemy troops being incapacitated for 1-3 turns by this spell and only slowly able to pass through it. This offers several advantages. Oftentimes, enemies die from the spell’s damage – and if not, at least they are not actively participating in the fight, as they are strongly blinded.

With the right spell, every fight is a breeze.

7. Wall of Fire

Available for: Druid, Wizard, Sorcerer, Cleric, Warlock

One of the most powerful AoE spells in the game, when it comes to pure damage, is the Wall of Fire. The spell can be placed relatively freely as long as you have a line of sight to the entire area of the desired wall.

Everything within the area of the Wall of Fire immediately takes 5d8 fire damage and is set on fire.

Moreover, the Wall of Fire is extremely versatile. You can cast it over a very long distance and cover a large area with it. It could be a long corridor or an entire row of enemies.

Well-positioned, a Wall of Fire can force enemies to take damage over several rounds just to reach you. But make sure that the concentration on the Wall of Fire doesn’t break – the creator should quickly find safety behind a wall.

Of course, many other spells in Baldur’s Gate 3 are really strong and useful for many situations. Which spells do you swear by?

What is Solo Leveling about? The real world is connected to another dimension through the Gates. They suddenly appeared in the world over a decade ago, and since then, people with supernatural abilities have awoken. These people are called Hunters.

The Hunters earn their living by conquering the dungeons within the gates. Protagonist Jin Woo is also one of these hunters, but he is considered the weakest hunter of all humanity. In his attempt to conquer a high-ranking dungeon, he is mortally wounded and is on the brink of death when a mysterious quest window appears before him.

The quest requires him to level up and fight to the top of the hunters. Jin Woo decides to accept this quest, and thus begins his second chance to prove himself as a hunter.

Here are the new ratings in EA Sports FC 24: Yesterday, EA Sports already published new ratings of the Premier League and the FA Super League. We also already know the top 24 of the best cards in EA Sports FC 24. ,

But now it is the turn of the ratings from the Spanish leagues. We show you the top 24 of the LaLiga as well as the Liga F, just before the release of FC 24.

EA FC 24 Ratings: The best players of the Spanish LaLiga

These are the new ratings: In the new ratings of the LaLiga, there are some winners and some losers. Particularly surprising is that two German players received downgrades, despite strong performances:

  • Toni Kroos falls from a strong 88 down to an 86 with a speed of 51.
  • Antonio Rüdiger also drops by 2 points to an 85 rating, but still has a stable center-back card.

On the other hand, Griezmann’s rating has jumped, increasing from an 83 to an 88 rating. Vinicius Jr. (+3) also looks very dangerous and should become a popular card in FC 24’s Ultimate Team. Other strong upgrades are available for:

  • Valverde: 84 -> 88
  • Bellingham: 84 -> 86
  • Rodrygo: 81 -> 85

EA FC 24 Ratings: Women of the Liga F with impressive ratings

These are the women’s ratings: In the ratings for women, it stands out that they are particularly outstanding at the top. The new card of Alexia Putellas should become an absolute top card in Ultimate Team, not for nothing does she share the overall rating with Mbappé, Haaland, and Kevin de Bruyne (all 91).

Also, the cards of Bonmati (90), Hansen (90), and Guijarro (88) are impressive and should play well.

This is the top 24 of the Liga F:

Player shows in Starfield how to get one of the best ships for free

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 2 minutes

In Starfield there are many ships that you can buy, steal, or find. The search for the perfect ship can be long, but one player has now found a strong alternative that you can use. We show you the strong ship.

Note: You may not find the same ship on the moon. Since the spawn is random, you should set a save point before landing and load it if you don’t like the landed ship.

What kind of ship is this? The YouTuber and streamer “Blue Thunder Gaming” has introduced a safe method on how you can find a solid battleship for your interstellar travels without glitches or bugs.

The ship is a relatively large specimen with deadly weapons that can inflict enormous damage on hostile ships. Additionally, you will find many weapon crates on the ship where you can find strong weapons and also deposit your own. We will now show you how you can get the ship, which costs 150,000 credits, for free.

In the video, you can see how to modify your ship in Starfield:

The Shipbuilding of Starfield – Segment from the Deep Dive

How to find the expensive ship for free

According to Blue Thunder Gaming, the ship is worth 150,000 credits. It’s definitely worth looking for, even if you only want to sell it. To find the ship, proceed as follows:

  • Search for the Cheyenne System
  • Find the planet Montara and its moon Wellish
  • On Wellish, there is a waypoint of an abandoned bionic lab
  • Land near the lab and wait for a ship to want to land in the distance
  • Now follow the direction of the first ship until you see a second ship wanting to land in the distance
  • The second ship is your desired target
  • Now you need to sneak into the ship unnoticed
    • Save before entering the ship so you have multiple chances if you mess it up
  • Pick the lock, if necessary, with your digikey and open the airlock
  • Kill all enemies on the ship
  • Now you can pilot the ship and register it in a spaceport for a small fee in your name
    • If you don’t like the ship, you can sell it to the shipmaster right away

What do I need to consider? Depending on how heavy the resistance is and how much luck you have, it may be that enemies will hit you hard during your maneuver. Blue Thunder Gaming itself states that the enemies are of a high level and well-equipped, so you should proceed carefully and advance slowly.

Additionally, you should approach the ship slowly. If the crew catches wind of your action, the ship will take off without you, and you’ll miss your chance.

This was the little tip on how to get a strong ship. Have you already found useful vehicles, and if so, where exactly? Feel free to exchange ideas with other players and fans in the comments!

Diablo 4: Player completes 400 dungeons to find out where to best farm loot

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

A player of Diablo 4 made it his mission to find out at which tier level Nightmare Dungeons should be approached in order to have the best chances of getting good loot. Over the course of 18 days, he completed 400 dungeons between tier levels 21 and 100 and collected more than 8,000 items. His conclusion: Instead of level 100, one should aim for level 65.

What kind of experiment was this?

  • The player fpsthirsty was tired of grinding at level 100 and set himself a task that was varied for him and useful for the community.
  • He gradually completed the Nightmare Dungeons of levels 21–100: There he always finished 5 dungeons per tier level and noted what Ancestral Items came out.
  • He played from August 17 to September 3 and took about 18 days.
Start video
Diablo 4 presents new Season 2, coming this fall – Blood & Vampires

Tier level 40 is the 1st important threshold for dungeons

What did he find out? You can read the exact evaluation and the results of his self-study here.

The summarized insights are:

  • Those looking for the strongest items, with a power level of more than 785, can suffice with playing tier 20. Even there, items with high power level can be found.
  • An important value is tier level 40. From tier level 20 to 39, the average item value is significantly lower than from 40 onwards. From this level, the average value of items is around 775.
  • Above tier level 40, the average strength of found items only increases slightly, but the probability of finding Ancestral Items increases significantly: A tier 100 dungeon has a 60% higher drop probability than a dungeon at 40.

Tier level 65 should be a good goal for many players in Diablo 4

What does this mean in short? You should farm a nightmare dungeon of tier level 40 or higher as long as you can comfortably progress through a dungeon at this level.

However, it’s not very useful to significantly increase the tier level if it takes much longer to do so.

As PC Gamer writes, this is initially “counterintuitive” because one assumes that tier level 100 would be particularly rewarding. However, the statistics say otherwise.

At higher tier levels, you do get more items, but not necessarily better ones. In contrast, it takes significantly longer to complete a tier 100 dungeon compared to a tier 40. For most players, it would pay off to stay somewhere around tier level 65.

Developers threaten to delete their game after only 1 year: Despite 94% positive reviews on Steam

Lydia Lydia Reading time 2 minutes

Massive Monster, the studio behind the indie hit Cult of the Lamb, has announced that they will remove the game from Steam despite its success. The reason for this is planned changes in Unity’s pricing policy.

Which game is it? In Cult of the Lamb, you play as a possessed lamb that rebels against the old gods and builds its own cult. The game combines elements of roguelites with base building: you fight through various dungeons, expand your sect with the resources you obtain, and take care of the needs of your cute followers.

Cult of the Lamb was released on August 11, 2022, and became a cult hit. It reached a peak of almost 62,000 simultaneous players on Steam and achieved a total of 94% positive ratings – in the last 30 days, it was even 96% (via SteamDB).

Just in April, Cult of the Lamb received a free update “Relics of the Old Faith” full of new content (via GameStar). In August, a collaboration with indie favorite Don’t Starve added a new game mode.

But if you still have the Steam hit on your wish list, you should hurry: As the developers announced via X/Twitter, they plan to delete their game on January 1, 2024.

Start video

Developers urge to buy their game quickly

Why do the developers want to delete their game? The announcement follows the planned change in the payment system of the Unity engine. This is used by many developers to build their games. Starting in 2024, Unity plans to charge a fee for each installation of their games.

For indie developers like Massive Monster, this poses a significant challenge. In a further post, they state:

Our team specializes in Unity games. So what are the impacts on us? Well, we have future projects in the pipeline that were originally intended to be developed in Unity. This change would lead to significant delays since our team would need to learn a completely new skill set.

Massive Monster further states that it is their mission to support and promote new and emerging indie games. For aspiring developers, the introduction of these fees could pose a tremendous obstacle.

Whether the developers genuinely intend to follow through with their plan or are merely expressing their dissatisfaction is unclear. They are urging players to buy their game now and are also directing a demand at Unity: “Stop being stinky.”

For others, the decision to remove a game from the market comes for entirely different reasons: Developer removes their viral hit from Steam to find peace of mind

Reved talks about her Twitch break, says she feels like a 70-year-old at 23

Lydia Lydia Reading time 2 minutes

23-year-old Antonia “Reved” Staab is the biggest streamer on German Twitch. However, in recent years, she has struggled with health issues. In a new video, she talks about her health, work, and how things will move forward.

What is going on with Reved? In August 2023, the streamer announced that she would take a break from Twitch. She explained that she has been suffering from constant headaches for some time and finally wants to take the time to get to the bottom of it.

In a video published on her YouTube channel on September 12, 2023, she discusses the background of her decision and reveals how things will continue.

A few days before her break, Reved had one last big streaming marathon:

Painkillers for breakfast

How is the streamer’s health? In her video, Reved explains that she has suffered from headaches since childhood, but the exact cause remains unclear. However, in the last two years, the situation has worsened to the point where she needs to draw a “line.”

During this time, she has had to take painkillers almost daily just to get through the day. For her morning coffee, she takes 2 paracetamol, according to Reved.

At the same time, she has physically deteriorated to the point where climbing stairs or showering while standing has become difficult. Additionally, she feels every day as if she is getting sick. “That at 23 I feel like a 70-year-old in terms of health wasn’t the plan,” says the streamer.

We have embedded the entire video for you here:

The 23-year-old explains that she can also make a doctor’s appointment alongside streaming. However, she has already tried a lot in this regard without really making progress. Consequently, every doctor’s visit is “stressful and disappointing.”

At one point, she felt so unwell that she lacked the strength to go to the doctor. Only in the last six months has she reached a sufficient mental state to address the issue. Just this year, she has already spent €25,000 on medical services not covered by health insurance.

So far, she has prioritized work over her health: If there was a possible doctor’s appointment only during her streaming time, she did not take it. That is supposed to change now.

What’s next? Reved explains that her streaming break is indefinite: Neither she nor anyone else knows when it will start again. Her first priority is simply to get healthy. She describes the thought as “fucking scary.”

After all, streaming is not only her main source of income, but also “totally [her] thing.” The 23-year-old doesn’t really want to do something else, like shift her focus to YouTube or TikTok. That is why she is also firmly determined to return to Twitch someday.

Until then, there will be pre-produced content on YouTube.

23-year-old has been on Twitch leave for 2 weeks, now asks: “What does one actually do with free time?”

TFT: 3 simple combos to dominate at the start of set 9.5

Alexander Leitsch Alexander Leitsch Reading time 4 minutes

On September 13, the new Set 9.5 was released in Teamfight Tactics. Although the basic principle from the old Set 9 has remained, some new champions, items, and attributes have been introduced. In this guide, we present three combos that will help you easily win the first rounds.

What characterizes the featured comps? In this guide, we will present the combos:

  • Void
  • Noxus
  • Bilgewater

All three combos are super easy to learn because you can work towards the finished board from the very beginning. Void, Noxus, and Bilgewater champions can be collected right from Level 1.

Also strong right now are the Bastion Targons and Rogues comps, but these two builds are harder to play and therefore are not covered in this guide.

8 Voids

When should I play the combo? For this combo, it is essential to have a Void emblem. The best way to get this is through the Region Portals right at the start of the game. However, you may also get lucky and obtain a Void emblem through augmentations.

Which champions does it include?

  • Malzahar
  • Cho’Gath
  • Kassadin
  • Rek’Sai
  • Vel’Koz
  • Kai’Sa
  • Fiora
  • Bel’Veth

What attributes are activated?

  • 8 Void
  • 2 Bruiser
  • 2 Sorcerer
  • 2 Challenger
  • 1 Empress
TFT Set 9 5 Void

What items do I need? Your two carries in the game are Kai’Sa and Bel’Veth.

Kai’Sa absolutely needs Jeweled Gauntlet and Spear of Shojin. As a third item, Guardbreaker is the strongest, but Guinsoo’s Rageblade is also a possibility.

Bel’Veth, on the other hand, loves Bloodthirster and Titan’s Resolve. A third item can be the Rapid Firecannon, but also something defensive.

Fiora logically gets the Void emblem. Remaining tank items can be placed on Rek’Sai or Kassadin.

What is the general playstyle? You start in the early game directly with 3 Void characters, usually Malzahar, Cho’Gath, and Kassadin. You definitely want to get Rek’Sai to have two bruisers in the frontline. Useful additions are also Swain for the Sorcerer buff or Taric for Sorcerer and Bastion.

You want to get to Level 8 with the combo as quickly as possible. So, you save up to 50 gold and then try to level up. This method is also called “Fast 8”. You try to have a win or a lose streak to maximize your gold. The goal is to reach Level 7 around 3-6. Level 8 should be possible by Stage 4-3.

At Level 8, you will first roll all of your gold to find the most important champions for your combo, preferably also directly Bel’Veth.

What items do I need? Your main damage comes from the champion Mordekaiser and your tank is Swain. He primarily relies on Redemption and Warmog’s Armor. As a third item, both Sunfire Cape and Ionic Spark work.

You feed Mordekaiser with Guinsoo’s Rageblade, Nashor’s Tooth, and Rapidfire Cannons. The bows are thus an important component of the combo.

Further offensive items can optionally be placed on Darius or later in the game on Aatrox, while defensive items go to Sion.

What is the general playstyle? In the Noxus combo, you play quite boringly. You quickly gather 50 gold, always buy the right units, and aim to reach Level 6 around Stage 3-2. Besides the classic units of the combo, Warwick fits well in the team because he brings the attributes Challenger for Samira and Juggernaut for Darius.

If you have lost too much health by Level 6, you first try to gather the 5 Noxus + Warwick for the combo. If you are doing well in the game, you can simply continue leveling up to Level 7.

Since you usually won’t find a Sion immediately at Level 8, Jarvan IV and Heimerdinger are also good units to bridge the search. Until you find Aatrox, you should also place another Slayer so that Mordekaiser can reach his full potential.

7 Bilgewaters

When should I play the combo? Bilgewater is one of the new combos from Set 9.5. Similar to Noxus, it applies that you can switch to this origin at any time. Especially when you have Illaoi and Graves at the start, it makes sense to continue building in this direction.

Which champions does it include?

  • Illaoi
  • Graves
  • Twisted Fate
  • Darius
  • Nautilus
  • Miss Fortune
  • Nilah
  • Gangplank

What attributes are activated?

  • 7 Bilgewater
  • 2 Gunner
  • 2 Juggernaut
  • 2 Vanquisher
  • 1 Reaver King
TFT Set 9 5 Bilgewater

What items do I need? Your carry in this build is Miss Fortune, while Nautilus takes on the role of tank.

Miss Fortune definitely needs Giant Slayer and Jeweled Gauntlet to deal maximum damage. Adaptive Helm or Blue Buff are good additions.

Nautilus, on the other hand, likes Warmog’s Armor, Redemption, and optionally Sunfire Cape or Dragon’s Claw.

Further damage items go to Nilah, while Illaoi takes the other tank items.

What is the general playstyle? The basic flow is very similar to Void. You build an early combo of 3 Noxus and later on 5 Noxus + Warwick.

You want to reach Level 8 with the combo as quickly as possible. So you save up to 50 gold and then try to level up. This method is also called “Fast 8”. You try to have a win or a lose streak to maximize your gold. The goal is to reach Level 7 around 3-6. Level 8 should be possible by Stage 4-3.

At Level 8, you will first roll all your gold to find the most important champions for your combo, preferably also Sion and Aatrox.

What do you think? Will you use the demo version or would you rather wait for early access?

Unge is not gone, now streaming under the name Raik

Sarah Sarah Reading time 3 minutes

The German content creator Unge has undergone a surprising transformation. After a longer break on YouTube, he announced his decision in May 2023 to perform as “Raik” on Twitch. MeinMMO tells you what he is doing now and how he feels about it.

Who is Unge? Unge, whose red curly hair and infectious laugh have made him unmistakable, is considered one of the pioneers of the German YouTube scene.

Since 2012 he has published Let’s Plays and later also vlogs and other content on his channel. His videos are characterized by his unique playing style and authentic personality.

Even though his channels have been inactive for months, he has 3.73 million subscribers on YouTube and 1.5 million followers on Twitch. You can find an article about his career here.

Here you can learn more about Unge:

Why has it been so quiet around Unge? In May 2023, the streamer announced that he is leaving his identity as “Unge“ behind him and will instead create English-language content as a Vtuber under the name “Raik“.

Instead of showing his face on camera, he now displays an anime avatar that reflects his facial expressions and gestures. This change was not only a surprise due to the choice of language, but also concerning the reasons that Unge provided for this decision.

Unge speaks openly about mental illnesses

Why did he want to make this switch? Unge spoke in one of his YouTube videos about his social phobia and depression, for which he is seeking professional help. The pressure of showing his face to thousands of viewers became unbearable for him.

In his honest statement, Unge emphasized that it represents an immense effort for him every time to stand in front of the camera and expose himself to the feeling of being judged, condemned, and evaluated by thousands of viewers.

In an attempt to combat his social phobia, the streamer undertook a remarkable 55-day streaming marathon, which even allowed viewers to watch him while he slept.

In addition to the mental health issues, Unge has struggled with stalking in the past, which led him to often feel like being in a “glass house” after years in the public eye.

In an effort to regain his privacy, he has now decided to take this important step.

“I had to make a decision: money or freedom”

How does Raik feel about this decision? The streamer repeatedly emphasizes how happy he is with his new identity, even if this comes with financial losses. He feels more comfortable and energetic.

In an update video on YouTube, he also explains that he had to choose between money or freedom. He chose freedom because he is happy with what he has. He himself says: “Why more money when I would have to give up freedoms for it?”.

In his streams and social media, he regularly shares insights into his life without showing his face. Thus, he occasionally takes his viewers on Instagram when he works out in his home gym.

He is also very active on Twitch under his new name. According to Twitchtracker, he is on the air 6 out of 7 days a week, averaging a proud 10.5 hours per stream.

Notably, his streams usually start at 11:00 PM German time – a fact that fits his internationally oriented audience. Raik is notable not only for his gaming skills but also for his willingness to interact with English-speaking players and thus improve his language skills.

Having spent over 1000 hours on his new Twitch channel alone in World of Warcraft, he often faces new challenges together with international players. This language switch has also attracted many international viewers.

Although he does not have the four-digit viewer numbers like the famous Unge channel, Raik can already boast a respectable average of 377 viewers – and that in a comparatively short time.

“I had facial surgeries,” jokes the streamer

Will he show his face again? Recently, a TikTok video was released in which a new viewer asks Raik about a “face reveal“. The streamer explains that he has shown his face in the past and that this is no secret.

Nevertheless, he does not plan to reveal it again, as he wants to protect his privacy. He makes jokes about alleged facial surgeries. He humorously states that he now has a “Thaddeus nose”, to confuse the curious.

In the comments on this TikTok video, there is a variety of reactions, ranging from surprise to support to nostalgic melancholy. Despite these reactions, Raik is determined to continue his new path as an English-speaking Vtuber and to maintain his privacy.

Destiny 2 sells old items from the €10 pass for €80 – calls it a new feature

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

In Destiny 2 there is excitement about new items in the game’s cash shop, the Eververse. Bungie has brought back cosmetic items from past seasons into the store, selling them individually. However, the prices have significantly increased. At Bungie, this is referred to as a “nostalgia flashback,” and the promotion is limited to 3 weeks.

How can you spend money on Destiny?

  • Destiny 2 is free to play. However, the current expansion costs €60: At the moment, it is Lightfall.
  • If you purchase a yearly pass with the expansion, it adds another €40, bringing the total to €100. Those who pay €100 can play Destiny 2 for a year with all available activities. This €100 needs to be reinvested every year. The yearly pass includes the respective “season passes,” which allow you to unlock cosmetic items as long as you play Destiny 2 actively during the season.
  • Additionally, there is a cash shop in Destiny 2, the “Eververse,” that offers cosmetic items that can be purchased with real money currency called Silver.

Overall, the prices in Destiny 2 are high and were harshly criticized by streamer Asmongold.

This is now the cause for anger: A user on Reddit explains: Everything that was to be earned in cosmetic rewards in previous €10 season passes is now in the cash shop Eververse, but costs €60 there. Even €80 if you want to buy all 3 sets.

The player mocks: “Inflation is really hitting hard. I would have liked to pay $10 or $15 to buy things from earlier seasons that I missed, but the price is ridiculous now.”

The thread has over 1,600 upvotes and 500 comments (via reddit).

“Nostalgic look back” – only for a limited time

What is this one action? Bungie sells the history as a feature. On Twitter, it was stated on September 12: For 3 weeks, a “nostalgic look back” will be brought into the store.

Players should feel free to comment on which items they would still like to have back from earlier times.

Discussion is divided – Many find the prices too high

What is the discussion about? People are discussing in the Bungie-friendly Reddit with little excitement. Bungie is simply demanding the “standard prices” for items, which are indeed very high.

Some on Reddit criticize Bungie, however: They seem to want to make a lot of money with minimal effort. Players complain that this is “double pricing”: the studio is selling the same thing twice.

What is also unfair? The entire set with all cosmetic contents for each class, including Sparrow, Ghost, Emote, weapon ornament, and finishers costs 8,900 Silver. This is an extremely inconvenient number:

  • For €70, you get exactly 8,300 Silver with bonuses.
  • However, if you spend €80, you are then at 9,400 Silver.

This already seems as if the 8,300 Silver was not chosen randomly, as players criticize.

What would be an alternative? A suggestion on Twitter receives a lot of support: The prices are simply too high. Bungie could sell the items for the earnable currency “Bright Dust” instead of asking for money.

Bungie should make old materials from the seasons earnable in the game and not purchasable.

“I love the idea – but not the prices”

This is what it’s all about: A user on Twitter clearly states: “I love the idea, but not the prices.”

In itself, it’s cool of Bungie to bring back cosmetic items that players missed. However, selling them through the cash shop is probably the most player-unfriendly solution available.

The action now feels like a step backward compared to the open words from a month ago:
