WoW: You can now play evil Eredar – Here’s how to unlock them

A new quest in World of Warcraft finally allows you to make your Draenei really evil. MeinMMO shows you how to do it.

It was announced as one of the small highlights of Patch 10.1.7 Incarnation of Wrath, and now it is finally here. In World of Warcraft, players can now give their Draenei some special customizations that make them look significantly more sinister. We will tell you how to unlock the customizations for the ‘Man’ari-Eredar’ today (09/13/2023).

How to unlock Man’ari-Eredar customizations? You just need to complete a short quest chain. By the way, it is sufficient for the quest chain if you have reached level 70 – it does not matter whether you play a Draenei character or any other race. Once you have reached level 70, you can accept the quest ‘Prophecy Stirs’. This typically starts automatically. If not, you can start it in front of the palace in Stormwind (Alliance) or the Valley of Honor in Orgrimmar (Horde).

WoW Manari Eredar Quest 1
The quest starts right in front of the castle in Stormwind.

After that, you must travel to the Vindikaar at the Exodar and can follow the story from there.

The short quest chain is then very linear and easy to follow. If you are interested in the story, you should talk to the NPCs in between to learn more about their perspectives and views.

What are these customizations? The new customizations allow Draenei characters to take on some new skin colors. These include a darker shade of blue, as well as two shades of red that are already known from Eredar in the rest of the game.

Especially RP fans should be pleased, as the ability to embody a Man’ari has been long desired. But everyone else will probably have fun as well, as the new customizations also fit wonderfully with the new Draenei warlocks.

WoW Manari Arzaal
You will learn a lot about the characters’ views in the quests.
What are Man’ari-Eredar?
The Man’ari are the Eredar who stayed behind on Argus and joined the Burning Legion under Sargeras, Archimonde, and Kil’Jaeden. They accepted the ‘gift’ of demonic magic (Fel) and thus gained very potent magic, but also became corrupted, often resulting in a changed skin color and other visual characteristics.

How is this explained in the lore? Historically, only a very small part of the former Legion servants join the Draenei. The vast majority of Man’ari-Eredar still belong to the Legion and are trying to make contact with Sargeras in various cults or seize power for themselves.

So, even if you will soon see many ‘red Draenei’ as players – the vast majority of Man’ari-Eredar have not joined the Alliance.

Is there more after unlocking? Yes. You also receive a toy that transforms you into a ‘real’ Man’ari for an hour – with the cool fel-fire scars. After completing the quest, you should speak to the blacksmith Gaal at the Krokul.

This one sells you new transmog items that are all based on Draenei culture – including a new toy, Path of the Naaru, which you can use as a hearthstone.

What do you think of the unlocks for the Man’ari-Eredar and how did you like the quest?

If you prefer a mount, you can currently unlock the cool ‘Mimiron’s Jump Jets’!

Starfield: An update from Nvidia improves your performance, brings more FPS and a new, important feature

Nvidia has released new software for its graphics card. Included are a whole range of detail improvements for Starfield. Also included is a feature that is now activated automatically: the BAR profile.

Starfield has now been released, but the players are arguing about the performance of Starfield. Now Nvidia has put a new software update online that you can install. The update brings important changes and a performance boost when you play Starfield.

Start video
Starfield – Official Gameplay Trailer

New software brings more performance and activates feature in the game

What is this update about? Nvidia itself explains that in a test scenario “an average performance increase of 5%” was achieved.

Additionally, Nvidia now supports the “optimal settings” for Starfield in its software. This is a feature of “GeForce Experience,” which optimizes the game’s graphics settings based on your hardware. However, you can easily disable the feature if you prefer to set the best settings and configurations for Starfield yourself.

Who benefits from the performance boost? According to Nvidia, both RTX-3000 and RTX-4000 graphics cards should benefit from the boost. This applies to both desktop and laptop graphics chips. With older graphics cards, you will benefit only to a limited extent.

How do I install the update? The “Resizable BAR update” for Starfield is automatically provided through the software. You do not have to do anything for it. If you have the latest version of the software or the prior version (537.17) installed, Resizable BAR will automatically be applied to your game.

What is BAR? BAR stands for “Base Address Register” and is intended to improve the game’s access to the graphics card’s memory. This way, performance can be improved.

Where do I download the update? Ideally, you activate automatic updates in “GeForce Experience,” and everything happens automatically. Alternatively, you can also trigger the update yourself: Simply switch to the “Drivers” tab within the software and click on the “Check for updates” button. If there is new software for your graphics card, it will be automatically downloaded.

If you manually download the update for your Nvidia graphics card, make sure you do not download any malware. During a ransomware attack on Nvidia, criminals stole important data and are using it to offer fake Nvidia software:

Twitch streamer NoWay describes how he was robbed: “It was extremely dumb of me”

Frederik “NoWay” Hinteregger (31) is the biggest streamer in Germany for League of Legends on Twitch. He was in Montpellier for Riot Games to comment on an important match in LoL. After the event, when he went out, he was robbed at gunpoint. The next day, the 31-year-old talks about how he views the robbery in hindsight. He regrets not having given up immediately.

This was the situation before the robbery:

The 31-year-old had just finished a live event in Montpellier, where he cast the finals of the European league LEC. After a long working day, everyone was quite tired and exhausted. Apparently, NoWay was out with his casting partner, teammate, and friend Tolkin.

NoWay recounts: After the finals, he freshened up briefly at the hotel and wanted to go eat something nearby. On the way back to the hotel, “two young gentlemen” jogged past them.

The Germans didn’t think anything of it. But the men had apparently waited for him afterward because they recognized his Rolex on his wrist. According to earlier reports, the Rolex was the “only valuable” thing the down-to-earth streamer had ever bought. It was said to have cost about €8,000.

“The adrenaline kicked in”

This was the robbery with the gun: The men approached him, held a gun to his head, and said they wanted the watch. The adrenaline kicked in for NoWay, and he tried to get away from the men. He received a blow to the head with the gun – the gun broke, and NoWay realized it was just a plastic toy.

But from then on, it only got worse: The men threw NoWay to the ground and struck his head. NoWay says he managed to break free:

Then they went to recruit. Their weapon was gone. They went a little to the right, up some stairs, and then they realized: Unfortunately, they still had a real weapon. And that was a large kitchen knife.

At the moment he saw the kitchen knife, NoWay gave up. He knew he had no chance. He is sure: “He would have stabbed me too.”

The man had already “poked” him, meaning he had indicated an attack in his direction. NoWay then took off the watch, held it for a moment, but when the next “poke” came, he let go of the luxury watch.

“Could have saved myself a lot of damage”

How does he see the robbery in hindsight? NoWay says he took a few blows to the head and had a bit of a headache, but he is doing well so far.

Ultimately, he says:

I lost the watch. But that’s it. That’s the story. That’s what happened. It was extremely stupid of me not to just give them the watch. I could have saved myself a lot of damage. And if the weapon had been real, it could have been even worse.

How is this being commented on? The viewers show NoWay a lot of sympathy on YouTube. He is a fantastic guy and a wonderful person.

There is hope that the event will not traumatize him.

Some express the utmost respect for him for coming to work the next day to cast the finals, where a German became European champion.

The new MMORPG Throne and Liberty shows its revised combat system – now promises PvE dungeons

Throne and Liberty is currently undergoing a major transformation – and not just in the West. In a developer letter from NCSoft itself, it was confirmed that autoplay is being removed and even instanced dungeons for groups are set to arrive. Additionally, a short video showcasing the new combat system has been released.

What is happening with the game? Throne and Liberty received criticism after the beta test in May for several reasons. The combat system was too static, character progression was too slow, and autoplay wasn’t well-received in the West.

However, the latest changes all sound really good:

  • The combat system will be much more dynamic. More abilities can be used while moving, and new ones are being introduced that require active aiming. Additionally, new abilities will be unlocked faster.
  • Collision between characters will be disabled in the open world to allow for more freedom of movement. In conflict zones, such as larger PvP battles, the collision will be reactivated as a tactical aspect.
  • The stats are being overhauled so that a specific attribute is not required for a specific weapon. This is intended to allow for more combinations when switching weapons.
  • Autoplay and automove will be removed – even in Korea.
  • The character development will be massively accelerated.
  • Instanced dungeons for groups will come. These will likely be pure PvE content.

In line with this, the developers have released a short video that gives you a glimpse of the new combat system:

Start video
Throne and Liberty – Preview of the new combat system

33% less time to level 30 and more options for leveling

How exactly is the character development changing? With the removal of autoplay, the developers are forced to overhaul the entire leveling phase.

Events and exploration in the game world will now grant significantly more experience than in the beta. Additionally, new “non-hunting” missions and new goals for exploration are to be introduced to provide more variety. Group dungeons are also expected to assist with leveling.

At the same time, the required number of experience points for level-ups is set to be reduced. Compared to the beta, players should reach level 30 33% faster and the max level 50 overall 10% faster.

To reduce the grind required for gear, the number of materials in the game will be increased.

What about PvP? Even in the last beta of Throne and Liberty, PvP in the open world was restricted. There will now only be three scenarios in which you can be involved in PvP:

  • During special events. However, these are surrounded by a ring, so you know exactly at what point PvP will be activated.
  • In conflict zones. Every 2-3 days, each area will become a conflict zone, where battles for area control will take place. However, this only happens in one zone at a time, so you can easily avoid it.
  • In most dungeons in the open world. However, those who are not interested in that can go to the new instanced content.

Overall, Throne and Liberty is still meant to be a PvP game, as seen from the conflict zones and especially the large battle for the castle.

What criticisms still remain? The monetization. However, Amazon stated that there should be no pay-to-win in the western shop of Throne and Liberty. 

What has TL done well from the start? The new MMORPG features really nice graphics, offers 9 diverse weapons and forgoes the need for gear to break or lose a level upon upgrade. Additionally, there is a strong weather system that affects the environment and the battles, as well as a cool system with shapeshifting.

What do you think about the development of Throne and Liberty? Does the new concept appeal to you? And how do you like the new combat system?

A feature in Starfield gives you such stupid dialogues that you troll NPCs and they forgive you everything

In Starfield there is a feature for your character that allows you to wonderfully troll NPCs and drive them into despair.

What are features in Starfield?

  • At the beginning of Starfield, you can choose three features during character creation. These are character traits or background information that will characterize your character going forward-
  • Some of the features are interesting extras like your own dream house or an intact relationship with your parents, others are among the best features in Starfield and are especially worthwhile to start the game.
  • One feature has proven to be particularly useful for trolling NPCs and confusing them.

Which feature is it? The feature ‘Extroverted’ turns your character into a person who enjoys being around other people and loves company. It also improves your oxygen consumption when traveling with other people and worsens it when you are alone.

As the Reddit user “EarlGrey_Picard” recently showed in a clip, an extroverted character also receives their own dialogue lines that are perfect for trolling NPCs.

In the clip, you can see how the player encounters an armed guard who is looking for a suspicious person and matches the description of the player character. The ensuing dialogue offers various options such as attacking or convincing the guard that they have the wrong person.

Additionally, there is a dialogue option marked with the feature ‘extroverted’ that responds to the guard: ‘I don’t fit the description. You fit the description.’

Following this, there is a witty exchange where both sides repeatedly say ‘No, you fit the description,’ after which the player character concludes: If they both fit the description, they must be twins.

By the end of the conversation, the NPC is so confused that they no longer know what the two were actually talking about. They then simply let the player go.

How does the community react? The Reddit user themselves posted the funny clip with the question ‘Wait, does this mean extroverts get ahead in life?’

Other users share their enthusiasm for the feature and the resulting dialogue on Reddit:

  • ‘So I can troll NPCs with this feature? Bought.’
  • ‘Now I’m glad I chose [the extroverted feature].’
  • ‘One of the funniest Starfield interactions I’ve seen so far.’

Another funny interaction in Starfield had a player with the robot Vasco, who made a joke about the player:

‘After that, I uninstalled’ – player says he is mentally destroyed because an NPC in Starfield made a joke

Dying Light 2 brings a big update to Steam, but players complain: “Techland sold its soul to the devil”

The action game Dying Light 2 has lost favor with fans as the developers added a controversial feature.

With Dying Light 2, the Polish developer Techland aimed to build on the success of its predecessor. The game relies on familiar mechanics such as slicing zombies with powerful melee attacks and the well-known parkour gameplay that lets players chase over the rooftops of the city of Villedor.

Almost 1.5 years after the release, the title still occasionally receives updates that bring new skin bundles and events to the game. The summer update released on September 07 was not well received by players.

Start video
Dying Light 2: The trailer for the DLC “Bloody Ties”

Many angry reactions to the new update for Dying Light 2

What are players criticizing? With the summer update, Techland introduced the so-called “Dying Light Points.” This is a new in-game currency for the game that can only be purchased with real money, and fans of the action game are not thrilled about it.

The developers announced the Dying Light Points (DL Points) with the promise that skin bundles can now be purchased “faster and more conveniently.” Players no longer need to buy skins in the store where they own the game – such as Steam – but can shop directly in the game. Additionally, Techland gave away 500 DL Points to every player.

On the release day of the update, negative reviews for Dying Light 2 flooded in on Steam, and it did not improve in the following days. Only 22% of the 1,654 reviews submitted between September 07 and September 12 are positive (as of September 12).

Steam Dying Light 2 reviews twelfth September 2023
Dying Light 2 reviews on Steam, September 12, 2023

What exactly bothers players about the DL Points? Players’ criticism targets various aspects of the DL Points. Many are already bothered by the mere existence of microtransactions in a full-price single-player game (via Steam). Others describe the points as “greasy and predatory” (via Steam).”

A Steam user also explains that the smallest package of the currency includes 500 DL Points, but many bundles would cost 550 points – for these bundles, it is thus not enough to buy the smallest package, which forces players to spend more than they should and always have leftover points (via Steam).

How do the developers respond to the criticism? In a statement on Twitter, Techland responds that they know the “frustration” stems from the “pricing of the packages and the resulting leftover DL Points.”

Techland is now examining whether it will be possible to purchase individual items from existing packages in the future. However, they state that this will take time.

Furthermore, Techland “reminded” in the statement about some bundles that can be purchased in the shop for less than 500 DL Points.

A user who also seems to be no fan of the new currency responds to the statement on Twitter:

The only good solution is to remove them [the DL Points] from the game and simply put the bundles in the shop where people bought the game. No one asked for Dying Light Points. This is consumer-unfriendly and a step back in every respect.

Over 550 users expressed their agreement with the Twitter user’s comment with a “like.”

Another game is currently under criticism by players because it relies on microtransactions while simultaneously offering no improvements compared to its predecessor:

A game launches on Steam, and just 4 days later, it’s already the second worst game with only 11% positive reviews

You should not miss a brilliant quest in Starfield, as you have to fight pirates in zero gravity

You should not miss a special side quest in Starfield, as it allows you to fight in zero gravity.

What kind of quest is this? In Starfield, you can receive a side quest titled “Sure Bet” very early in the game on the planet Gagarin in the “Alpha Centauri” system. To do this, talk to the bartender Lizzy and tell her you are looking for a job.

Lizzy then tells you about a huge, abandoned spaceship called “Deimos Armored Transport” that has an impressive amount of alcohol on board. She wants you to enter the abandoned ship, find the best swill on board, and bring it back to her.

As a reward for the quest, you will receive a few thousand credits. Additionally, aside from the luxury alcohol, you can keep everything you find on the freighter.

Start video
Starfield: How to get an extremely strong weapon right from the start

Zero gravity through the cargo

What makes the quest so great? “Sure Bet” is not defined by the theft of expensive alcohol or conversations with Lizzy. The quest is so great because the artificial gravity regularly turns off during your stay on the freighter.

So as you fight against space pirates, you will be floating in zero gravity through the corridors of the ship.

As if zero gravity wasn’t fun enough, firing various weapons adds an extra flavor to it. For example, the shot from a powerful shotgun can cause you to float backward.

Overall, Starfield impresses mainly with the details that players can discover in small tasks or side quests.

Just recently, we reported on MeinMMO about a player who felt guilty after showing no mercy during a bounty hunt and then found the notes of the “criminals”:

A player in Baldur’s Gate 3 explains why “Knocking” is the best spell in the game

A player in Baldur’s Gate 3 raves about the spell Knock and explains what makes it so special. MeinMMO reveals to you what it’s all about.

In the world of Baldur’s Gate 3, there are plenty of spells available to players to help them tackle their adventures.

However, while many players focus on powerful attack spells or buffs, there is one spell that is often overlooked but can truly be a best friend to any adventurer: We are talking about the spell Knock. A player explains to you why the spell is so good.

Here you can find tips to reduce your carry weight in Baldur’s Gate 3:

The Versatility of Knock

What can the spell do? In Act 2, you can expect tricky trials that will challenge your skills. Usually, you need to defeat strong opponents or solve complex puzzles to progress in Baldur’s Gate 3. However, some things can probably also be solved with the spell Knock.

The player shitfacedgoblin shared his amazing experiences on Reddit regarding the spell:

Instead of racking his brains over how to master these puzzles in Act 2, he made an unconventional decision: he simply decided to use the spell Knock at the last door of the trials. The result was absolutely astonishing, as he skipped most of the trials in Act 2 as if it were a walk in the park.

What makes Knock so strong? Knock may seem like the most boring party trick in the world at first glance, but don’t be fooled.

What makes Knock so great is its versatility. This level 2 spell can open doors, chests, and even secret paths without requiring a character with high dexterity.

In fact, Knock can easily open a locked chest with a check of 30. With this spell, they are opened in no time. If you come across a place where you seemingly can’t get further, Knock could be your salvation.

The magic of Knock is that it offers an elegant solution to seemingly unsolvable problems. It saves time, resources, and nerves that would otherwise be spent on laborious fights or complicated puzzles.

What do you think of his opinion? What spells do you find particularly useful? Feel free to let us know in the comments!

WoW Guide: How to unlock the secret mount “Mimiron’s Jumping Jets”

The new secret mount Mimiron’s Jumpjets can be unlocked in World of Warcraft. We will reveal how to do this quickly.

In World of Warcraft, there are numerous mounts, some of which are hidden behind complex puzzles. During the “Secrets of Azeroth” event, several permanent rewards were discovered that you can also earn after the event has ended. We will show you how to obtain the cool mount “Mimiron’s Jumpjets”.

[toc]

What do you need for the mount? You need:

  • The Upgraded Thinker’s Cap (explained below)
  • The Torch of Pyrreth (explained below)
  • Level 70
  • At least 3 friends to help you
  • 1-2 hours of time
WoW Mimirons Jumpjets wowhead
Mimiron’s Jumpjets look pretty cool. Image source: wowhead

Unlocking the toys

Before we can deal with Mimiron’s Jumpjets, you first need to unlock two toys that are required for the mount. So we will first explain how to obtain the “Upgraded Thinker’s Cap” and “Torch of Pyrreth”.

Unlocking the Upgraded Thinker’s Cap

The Upgraded Thinker’s Cap is a toy that provides you with a new coordinate system. It also has the added effect that some secrets can only be seen when wearing this cap. We will show you how to unlock the cap.

  • Talk to Bobby Carlisle at the inn in Valdrakken to receive “Notes on Bobby Carlisle’s Thinker’s Cap”.
  • Talk to Erugosa (also in the inn) to receive a shopping list.
  • Buy 5 Thunderback Fillets from Agurahl the Butcher in the plains of Ohn’ahra (Coordinates 85 / 23).
  • Buy Apexis Asiago from Gorgonzormu in Valdrakken (Coordinates 29 / 65).
  • Buy 5 Grintal Fungus from Sniktak in Loamm, in the Zaralek Cave (Coordinates 54 / 57).
  • Return to Erugosa and give her the items to receive 10x Thunderback Nest.
  • Talk to Klikklik Clapswing in Valdrakken and receive the Thought Calculation Apparatus (Coordinates 42 / 49).
  • Loot a “Fresh Tyranha” from “Hungry Tyranha” in Valdrakken. The fish swim in the river that flows out of Valdrakken (Coordinates 46 / 93).
  • Talk to Gryffin in Valdrakken to receive the Fluffy Helmet Liner (Coordinates 43 / 49).
  • Talk to Shakey Shortshot in Valdrakken (39 / 62). Directly pay him the 1,000 gold pieces to receive Crystalocular Lenses.

Now connect all 3 items to receive a new quest called “Unfinished Thinker’s Cap”. Submit this quest to Klaudia Huhu at the barber in Valdrakken and you will now have the Upgraded Thinker’s Cap!

Unlocking the Torch of Pyrreth

The Torch of Pyrreth is a toy that is needed for some puzzles. You can quickly unlock it through a short quest chain and then have it on all characters.

Travel to Valdrakken and go to the inn. There, talk to Tithris and complete the quest “Secure Artifact”. You will then receive hints on how to acquire the torch.

Next, travel to the Coast of Awakening to the Conservatory of Lifebinders. Use your Upgraded Thinker’s Cap here. Now you need to find a total of 3 levers, which can be found in the ruins of the area. The levers can be found at the following coordinates, each in the ruins of the houses:

  • Lever 1: 57 / 26
  • Lever 2: 58 / 24
  • Lever 3: 57 / 20

Once you have activated all 3 levers, go into the ruins of the inn and examine the fire pit. On the inside of the fire pit (Coordinates 55 / 20), you can now see the torch. Click on it to receive a new quest. Then return to Valdrakken and submit the quest.

Unlocking the mount Mimiron’s Jumpjets

Now let’s get to the hidden mount – Mimiron’s Jumpjets. We will limit ourselves in this guide to the absolutely necessary steps – there were several other hints that ultimately led to the solution of this puzzle. For simplicity’s sake, we will omit those.

Step 1: The Southern Stranglethorn

Travel to the southern Stranglethorn, specifically to Jaguero Island. At coordinates 59 / 78, you will find three braziers. All three must be activated simultaneously. This is only possible if at least 3 players possess the Torch of Pyrreth and use it at the same time.

WoW Mimirons Jumpjets Braziers
The braziers require a total of 3 players – all with the torch.

Now the elite enemy “Puzzle Guardian” will spawn, which you must defeat. He hits hard, so it’s better to have a tank in the group – or a tanking pet.

Loot the “First Booster Part” from the enemy.

Step 2: The Felwood

Next, travel to the Felwood, to coordinates 50 / 26. Here you will find a large water elemental and a machine nearby. A player must use the machine to gain control over the water elemental. As the water elemental, you must now devour the other players.

Once all players have been sucked in, the entity explodes and you can loot the “Second Booster Part”.

Step 3: The Blasted Lands

The last part is simply lying on the ground, namely in the Blasted Lands at coordinates 55 / 52 – right in front of the Dark Portal.

However, picking it up takes a long time and is interrupted if you take damage. Since troops constantly assault from the portal, this is quite difficult. At the same time, 2 cannons are shooting at you, which are positioned on the left and right of the portal. First, destroy the cannons and then try around until you find a suitable spot where you can loot the “Third Booster Part”.

WoW Mimirons Jumpjets Third Part
The third part is obviously lying around – but is “annoyingly” protected.

If you have problems, you can also loot the part in turn while your friends hold back the attacking enemies.

Step 4: Build Mimiron’s Jumpjets

The last step is easy, as you just need to return to Valdrakken. Travel to the Arcane Forge, which is located in the crafting district – you can also see it prominently on the map.

At the forge, you could receive a special achievement for a short time.

Once you are at the forge, you just need to click on one of the three booster parts in your inventory to connect them. You now have “Mimiron’s Jumpjets” and thus a pretty impressive mount, which you can show off with and soon fly also on the Dragon Isles.

How do you like the mount? Did you enjoy the puzzles?

A game is released on Steam, just 4 days later it is already the second worst game with only 11% positive reviews

With NBA 2K24 a new sports game was released on Steam on September 8, 2023. However, player reviews are devastating. One reason for this is the weak PC version, as players have been demanding better features and nicer graphics for years.

A few days ago, on September 8, 2023, the new basketball game NBA 2K24 was released for PC. However, the game is already the second worst on Steam. It only surpasses Blizzard’s Overwatch 2, which is still considered the worst game on Steam.

But how does it happen that a game gets torn apart just a few days after its release?

We have embedded the trailer of the predecessor for you here:

Weak graphics, severe microtransactions, and poor PC version

What do the reviews look like? At this point in time (September 12, 2023, 7:00 PM), the reviews on Steam are “extremely negative” with only 11% positive out of nearly 3,000 ratings. Many players are disappointed with the latest installment in the series and express their astonishment (via steampowered.com):

  • The graphics are far too poor for PC, the textures are lacking, and it has nothing to do with “Next Gen”.
  • Some bugs and issues have been present in the game for 5 years.
  • The game is full of microtransactions and that is discouraging for both old and new players.
  • Some complain that there are too many cheaters, and the developers do nothing about it.
  • The “mycareer” mode is just a shadow of its former self and the developers have erased the story behind the players.

The latest installment, NBA 2K24, offers no improvements compared to its predecessor. Some players put it harshly: The developer is just selling the old game again, only with a different number. With the same graphics, animations, and the same hard microtransactions.

How did the predecessors fare? The predecessors, NBA 2K23 and 2K22, at least did not get hit quite as hard in recent years:

  • NBA 2K23 has a positive rating of 64% with around 35,000 reviews.
  • NBA 2K22 has a positive rating of 58% with just under 30,000 reviews.

Even the old games were considered infested with microtransactions, and players also demanded “Next-Gen” features: Many want good animations and dribbling features to finally see on PC as well and not just on a console.

  • Altars of Summoning: Offer sacrifices in the otherworldly prison of the Witch Queen to summon hideous enemies, defeat them, and gain their power.
    • There are three difficulty levels that you can activate. So anyone who activates “Mighty,” the highest difficulty level with three swords, will also break a sweat.

All Sources for Top Loot in Season 22 of Destiny 2

The new units of the Witness are already “in the works”

More power level comes automatically: The power level remains unchanged in Season 22, which means the hard power level cap in Destiny 2 remains at 1,810. So no player is forced to perform at peak every week, but automatically levels up the artifact level in all activities.

  • There are still hard challenges, even without an increase in power level. For example, in Grandmaster Raids, Nightfall strikes, Grandmaster Lost Sectors, or the Trials of Osiris. Here, a high artifact level is advantageous and necessary.

However, if you are currently not at the hard cap of 1,810, we have listed the best sources for top loot here for you.

This top loot raises your power level to 1,810:

  • Top raid Crota’s End (+2)

EA Sports FC 24: Ratings of the Premier League & FA Super League – Superstar with surprising downgrade

EA Sports FC 24 has now published the official ratings of the Premier League and the Women’s FA Super League. We show you how strong the new cards are.

These are the ratings in EA Sports FC 24: After yesterday already the ratings of the 24 best players were published, today it is the turn of the Premier League and the Women’s FA Super League. Here you can see shortly before the release of EA FC 24 how strong the new cards will be.

EA FC 24 Ratings: The best players of the Premier League

Who are the best players in the Premier League? As we already knew, Erling Haaland leads the ratings of the Premier League together with Kevin De Bruyne (both 91).

Who else is in the top 24 can be seen here:

  • ST: Erling Haaland (91)
  • ZM: Kevin De Bruyne (91)
  • RF: Mohamed Salah (89)
  • IV: Ruben Dias (89)
  • ZDM: Rodri (89)
  • IV: Virgil Van Dijk (89)
  • TH: Alisson (89)
  • ZDM: Casemiro (89)
  • ZOM: Bruno Fernandes (88)
  • ZM: Bernardo Silva (88)
  • TH: Ederson (88)
  • ZOM: Odegaard (87)
  • LF: Son (87)
  • RV: Alexander-Arnold (86)
  • MS: Nkunku (86)
  • LV: Robertson (86)
  • RF: Saka (86)
  • ZDM: Tonali (86)
  • LF: Foden (85)
  • TH: Martinez (85)
  • LF: Grealish (85)
  • MS: Diogo Jota (85)
  • ZDM: Rice (85)
  • RV: Trippier (85)

These are the surprises in the ratings: At first glance at the ratings of the players from the Premier League, one quickly notices a downgrade that is not entirely understandable. Mohamed Salah was downgraded by one point to 89, even though he had an outstanding season with 30 goals and 16 assists.

However, the biggest jumps in ratings are made by Haaland, who rises from 88 to 91, and Odegaard, who had an 84 card in FIFA 23 (now 87).

EA FC 24 Ratings: The best players of the Women’s FA Super League

Who are the best players in the FA Super League? Here we show you the top 24 players of the Women’s FA Super League. Leading the women of the English top league is Sam Kerr, who is facing a deduction of -1 compared to FIFA 23. Following her are Reiten (previously 87) and Mead (previously 89).

You can see the complete top 24 here:

  • ST: Kerr (90)
  • LF: Reiten (88)
  • RF: Mead (87)
  • TH: Earps (86)
  • LF: Hemp (86)
  • RV: Lawrence (86)
  • ZM: Little (86)
  • ST: Miedema (86)
  • ZOM: Roord (86)
  • IV: Bright (85)
  • IV: Buchanan (85)
  • ST: Daly (85)
  • LV: McCabe (85)
  • ST: Shaw (85)
  • IV: Williamson (85)
  • TH: Zinsberger (85)
  • TH: Berger (84)
  • ZOM: Catarina Macario (84)
  • LF: Foord (84)
  • IV: Ilestedt (84)
  • RF: Kelly (84)
  • ZOM: Kirby (84)
  • RV: Neville (84)
  • ST: Russo (84)

Who are the best players of the FA Super League? The ratings of the players are currently not known. As soon as they are published, we will update this post as soon as possible.

The Canadian police find the sword of the Lich King during a raid in a 17-year-old’s dungeon

The Canadian police found the Sword of the Lich King. However, rather in an unusual place and not in a dungeon in WoW. Instead, the weapon is found with a 17-year-old who has other unusual things at home.

The Canadian police discovered not only illegal firearms and drugs during a raid on two Canadians (26 and 17 years old) but also a strange sword. The sword is evidently a famous weapon that WoW players might recognize.

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

During a raid, the Sword of the Lich King is found

What did the police find? In total, a whole range of items was found on the person:

  • nine firearms that were illegally possessed and acquired
  • over 130 grams of a substance that is probably crack
  • machetes
  • a sword
  • bear ammunition and other ammunition for firearms

But what is really interesting is what the Canadian police merely referred to as a “sword.” The colleagues from PCGamer already complain that it is almost outrageous that they only refer to the Sword of the Lich King as “just” a sword. After all, one can clearly recognize “Frostgram,” even though the colleagues add a “hopefully.”

Presumably, the police were not even aware of what they had confiscated. Otherwise, their description would have been more specific.

Famous sword costs over 1,000 euros as a replica

What kind of sword is this? Frostgram is one of the most iconic weapons in WoW and was wielded by Arthas Menethil until the weapon was eventually destroyed in the Icecrown Citadel. Frostgram was cursed, consuming the soul of its wielder and absorbing the souls of those slain by it.

Blizzard has been selling a replica of this sword in its official gear store for some time now. The price is $1,500. It is currently sold out and will be available again starting November 2023. Blizzard lists the official dimensions for the sword:

  • 1.25 m (H) x 33.2 cm (W) x 12 cm (L)
  • 7.6 kg
  • zinc-copper alloy, stainless steel, leather
  • certificate of authenticity included
  • officially licensed

It is therefore probably not surprising that the Canadian police first packed up “Frostgram” and took it away. Whether the weapon will later return to the possession of the Canadian is unknown.

Starfield: Get Rid of Bounty – 3 Ways to Get a Clean Slate

In Starfield you can accumulate bounties either unknowingly or maliciously in various systems. We will show you how to get and get rid of bounties.

What are bounties? In Starfield, when you commit crimes, a bounty is issued against you. This is a specific sum that a faction has placed on your head.

Depending on how high your bounty is, the specific faction will either regard you as hostile and attack you immediately, or speak to you and, in the worst case, arrest or kill you.

Which crimes count? To receive a bounty, you must commit the following acts:

  • Breaking and entering
  • Theft or picking locks
  • Hacking
  • Injuring or killing civilians or faction members

Now that you know how to get a bounty, we will show you how to get rid of your bounty using three methods.

To defend yourself against guards, we have selected a powerful weapon for you:

Start video
Starfield: How to get an extremely strong weapon right from the start

How to get rid of your bounty

To clean your slate and no longer be wanted, you can use three methods:

1. Pay bounty to officials or factions

How do I do that? The easiest method to get rid of your punishment is to surrender when officials or faction members corner you.

Now you can settle your bounty with them and must also return any stolen items, if applicable. The only drawback of this method is that you lose the items you stole and must pay hard-earned credits.

2. Go to prison

How do I do that? If you are caught by guards and confronted, you have the option of either settling your debt or going to prison. In this method, you also have to hand over stolen items. In addition, you lose a certain amount of your XP, depending on how high your bounty is.

The positive aspect of this method, however, is that you don’t have to pay any credits and can walk out of the cell with fuller pockets.

3. Settle bounty at terminals

How do I do that? You have enough credits, but want to keep your stolen items and not lose any XP? Then look for one of the red self-service terminals that can settle your bounty. You can find these in various systems and cities.

The only two drawbacks are that you can only settle bounties from factions that are not in the same system and the fees for the service, if you take advantage of it. You also have to pay your bounty – the service is not free in Starfield.

There is one last method: If you prefer to solve your problem with cheats, you can use the console command: player.paycrimegold 0 0 <FACTION-ID> to clear the bounties of the factions. The following IDs may prove useful:

  • Xenofresh Corporation – 0022892D
  • United Colonies – 0005BD93
  • Trade Authority – 0022E53D
  • Ryujin Industries – 0026FDEA
  • Red Mile – 002B209D
  • House Va’ruun – 002758C5
  • Freestar Rangers – 00096529
  • Freestar Collective – 000638E5
  • Crimson Fleet – 00010B30

Have you already had problems with the law in Starfield? And if so, how did you solve your problems? Feel free to let us know in the comments!

Baldur’s Gate 3: Player destroys indestructible item with a trick, thereby discovers secret game-over

In Baldur’s Gate 3, a player threw an indestructible item into the abyss and discovered a secret scene that resulted in a direct “Game Over.” MeinMMO reveals what’s behind it.

What is it about? A user discovered a particularly nasty way to lose the game in Baldur’s Gate 3.

Here, the player deliberately destroys an important item needed for the story in Baldur’s Gate 3. The destruction brutally punishes the game with a secret ending. You can read how it works on MeinMMO.

Warning: The article contains story spoilers from Act 3.

5 helpful tips for Baldur’s Gate 3

Player discovers secret game-over scene after throwing away a Nesser stone

In Baldur’s Gate 3, everything revolves around collecting Nesser stones in the final act of the game. These mysterious stones are crucial to restrain the Absolute and save the world.

There is actually no good reason to throw these valuable stones out of your inventory. But hey, we are adventurers, and we like to do things that have no good reason.

However, the Nesser stones are quite stubborn. They cannot be thrown as easily as ordinary items. But here comes the YouTuber BOB_BestOfBugs into play. He had a brilliant idea: Why not just put a Nesser stone into a container like a vase and then throw the vase along with the Nesser stone into the abyss?

Here you can watch his YouTube video:

As a result, he discovered a secret game-over scene. The Emperor is not at all pleased and insults him: “FOOL, without all three stones, we won’t be able to overcome the brain. You’ve damned us all.”

The player could no longer resist the overpowering voice of the Absolute and became her slave. The game ended with a dark sentence: “A Nesser stone is lost, the path leads only to her…”

While this may be an unusual way to end the game, it clearly demonstrates the ingenuity and creativity of the developers of Baldur’s Gate 3. Even after countless hours of gameplay, there are still secrets to discover and surprises that leave us in awe.

So, think twice before you put your valuable Nesser stones into vases and plunge into the dark – you might end up in a grim game-over scene.

A player explains how you can rob merchants in Baldur’s Gate 3 without scaring them away

A player from the MeinMMO community explains how you can steal from merchants in Baldur’s Gate 3 using a simple trick without losing them. We show you how to do it.

In Baldur’s Gate 3, there is a clever method to outsmart shrewd merchants and acquire both their gold and unique items without permanently scaring them off.

A member of the MeinMMO community has clever strategies to access the merchants’ inventory without sacrificing your hard-earned gold – yes, even to increase your own gold reserves.

3 Tips to Reduce Your Carrying Weight in Baldur’s Gate 3

How exactly does it work? A clever player with the pseudonym procra from the MeinMMO community has revealed a method for sneakily stealing from your merchants without losing them afterwards. They will still be willing to do business with you.

The procedure from procra is as follows:

  1. Make sure you have Astarion or a character with high dexterity in your group.
  2. Move a short distance away from the merchant and activate turn-based mode.
  3. Save the game once.
  4. Stealthily approach the merchant with Astarion and perform a pickpocket. For example, select the gold and succeed in the dexterity check.
  5. If the theft was successful, you can close the window.
  6. If you unfortunately get caught, simply reload the previously saved game.
  7. Turn the real-time mode back on. Ensure that your party members are far enough away not to rush the thief and expose them.
  8. Open the map and travel to another waypoint, preferably to a separate zone like the Zhentarim hideout.
  9. Wait for a while before returning to the robbed merchant. It may take up to 15 minutes for them to give up the hunt for your thief.
  10. Return to the robbed merchant and prefer to leave Astarion at the camp to avoid raising any uncomfortable questions.
  11. Now you can fulfill your wishes and purchase whatever you like. The merchant now has gold in their inventory again, even if it might be less than before.
  12. You can start over and repeat the process.

You can also use this method if you prefer to steal items directly instead of gold. An observation that procra made concerns the difficulty of stealing gold compared to items. In other words, it’s easier to steal armor worth 1200 gold than to actually snatch 1200 gold from the merchant’s pocket.

What other methods are available? There are also alternative methods to completely empty the merchants’ inventory non-violently while ensuring that the merchants are still available to you.

procra presents another alternative:

  • For example, cast the spell ‘Sleep’ on the merchant with Gale. If you use a higher spell slot, you can also put merchants with more hit points to sleep.
  • Activate turn-based mode for that, as the sleep spell only works for 2 rounds – which passes by quickly in real time.

However, note that this method does not work on all NPCs. Some merchants have positioned their stalls so cleverly that you can never sneak up unnoticed and cannot escape the line of sight of the surrounding NPCs.

And the Zhentarim are well aware of these tricks and could thwart your plans. You are now well-equipped to outsmart the world of merchants.

Whether you want to face the fight in Battle Royale mode, in duos, trios, or groups, is entirely up to you. A variety of different game modes allows you to play as you prefer, and the developers promise that there’s something for everyone.

Beat’em-up games are part of childhood for many players. Which of these games from the 90s dares to make a comeback in the gaming market, MeinMMO author Niko reports.

OutRage differs from classic beat’em-up games through various features that have a strong Battle Royale influence.

The following features are promised:

  • Various game modes (solo or team modes, Battle Royale, group modes)
  • Character customization and development
  • Combat advantages to unlock
  • Various talents for unique brawler styles
  • Interesting OverRage abilities
  • Exciting seasonal events with new maps, game modes, and rewards

Players talk about their biggest gaming sins: “I don’t skill lockpicking, I keep reloading”

A thread has been opened on Gaming Reddit where players are supposed to confess their biggest sins. Some are just mean, others more curious. We have picked the highlights for you and look forward to reading your sins in the comments.

What are these sins? The sins are very different and not all of them are really bad.

The top comment comes from the user Stanglemeir, who talks about blowing up a Minecraft server. He destroyed most of the project with 100 stacks of TNT because the owner suddenly became greedy and introduced what he saw as a brazen monetization. Some commentators here believe that it is not a sin at all, but that he made sure to provide a just punishment.

XenonFyre, on the other hand, reports that he never leveled up lockpicking in Skyrim. Instead, he saved before each chest and simply reloaded the game in case of failure. Others report that they always cheat here and simply give themselves a thousand lockpicks.

But it can also be really mean.

Deleted Friends’ Save Files and Thrown Penguins to Their Deaths

Which sins are really uncomfortable? Such as the one from Burribro348. As a child, he desperately wanted to have all three starter Pokémon and inflicted something painful on his brother:

I had Pokémon Silver, my brother had Gold. He had just beaten the Elite Four, probably the proudest moment of his young life.

However, I then started a new game on his cartridge so I could get all three starter Pokémon. Then I started a new game again, with his old name, etc., and simply said that the game must have had an error.

There were tears. I’m sorry, brother.

Some other users report that they have either done something similar or experienced something similar.

Coffee-Soup, however, told all his friends that Pokémon Mystery Dungeon was a really good game but did not reveal that he had used a trick to not need food in dungeons. His friends, on the other hand, were struggling with the high difficulty.

Pokémon can be quite brutal!

One sin that is most frequently confessed, however, is the bad treatment of NPCs:

  • A player threw the penguin in Mario 64 off the cliff, exactly when the mother was watching.
  • Another one always locked the butler in Tomb Raider in the freezer.
  • In Zoo Tycoon, several players released lions on visitors or other animals.
  • Several users report that they paid for sex with a prostitute in GTA, only to run her over and get their money back.

Cheats and the Annoying Issue of Time

What do the players confess? Time and again, players report cheats they have used.

In Gears of War, the difficulty level Hardcore is really difficult. But when you play with two players, one can set the difficulty to “Hardcore” and the second player can set it to “Easy.” The second player can then simply shoot throughout the game while the first player hides. He still gets the achievement for beating the game on Hardcore mode.

Another more general sin is time. A father, for example, says he can only play everything on easy because he doesn’t have time to get into higher difficulty levels.

But there is also the other extreme. Thoarzar reports that despite 800+ hours of gameplay, he has never finished Skyrim because he keeps creating new characters.

But which of the sins do you find the worst? And what is your biggest sin? Feel free to write it in the comments.

Pokémon GO: Trainers despair over rare, new Pokémon: “I would be glad to just see one”

In Pokémon GO a new, rare monster is on the move. But so far, the little ice dino is quite elusive.

What kind of Pokémon is this? Frospino belongs to the Pokémon from the Paldea region that recently landed in Pokémon GO. It evolves into Cryospino and Espinodon.

The series counts as pseudo-legendary Pokémon, meaning monsters that are not legendary but still extremely powerful. This series also includes monsters like Dragoran, Knakrack, Trikephalo, and Grandiras.

Unfortunately for some trainers, Frospino shares not only the powerful evolution but also another aspect in common with the mentioned monsters: It may now be in Pokémon GO, but it’s extremely hard to find – similar to the release of Kaumalat or Miniras.

This is reported by trainers who have been unsuccessfully searching for Frospino since the event started.

Frospino hardly appears – soon landing in 10 km eggs

Where is Frospino? Currently, it is said to spawn in the wild, but it was already announced before the release as a spawn with luck. Trainers suspected: This will be rare.

And that seems to be the case now, because some trainers report that they have found little to no Frospino so far.

Frospino is there, but rare

For example, trainer PaLyFri72 posted in the subreddit TheSilphRoad about Pokémon GO, stating that they have yet to see a Frospino. The new monsters Pamo and Micrick are appearing more frequently – but the ice dino is still missing.

Other trainers agree:

  • They are going to be incredibly rare, so I would keep your expectations low about getting enough candy to evolve one or finding a solid candidate for evolution, recommends a trainer (via reddit).
  • The user responds: I would be glad just to see one! (via reddit)
  • It’s like Miniras, it’s supposed to be rare, says another (via reddit)
  • I played for three and a half hours this morning and didn’t see any Frospino silhouette until I got home and the weather changed to windy. Then I saw a second one, but couldn’t catch it because I was cooking, another trainer tells (via reddit).

While some trainers desperately search for the monster, there are also voices that find it all exciting. For example, player TheMadJAM emphasizes: I actually like it when wild Pokémon are super rare. It makes it exciting. Honestly, it would be more natural if every Pokémon could spawn at any time, so that rarity comes from distribution. (via reddit).

Some trainers report that they have at least found one. A trainer on reddit even shared a screenshot showing that they caught a rare 100% specimen of Frospino.

Will finding it become easier? If Frospino follows the example of other pseudo-legendaries, it should become easier to find over the coming months, possibly even years. But that could take a while. Monsters like Kaumalat or Kapuno became notorious for being hard to find for a long time. Eventually, they then got a community day, where you could easily catch them.

However, there will also be a change with Frospino: After the event, starting from September 15, it will also be available in the 10 km eggs. Then you can try to hatch it there. But even with the eggs, you should probably expect that it hatches rather rarely.

Have you already caught a Frospino? If so, how? Let us know in the comments!
