New game on Steam already has 95% positive reviews – Check out the trailer

With Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy, THQ Nordic, together with the developer Frozenbyte, is releasing the latest installment of a cooperative platformer series. On Steam, the game is already receiving many positive reviews.

What is it about? Trine 5 seems to tell a very classic fantasy hero story.

The three heroes of the game are a wizard, a thief, and a knight, who are each at a low point in their lives. A ruined reputation, magical powers at stake, and love in danger.

Despite these personal troubles, the heroes must come together again to fight back against the evil clockwork army, to fight for justice, and to bring peace to the land.

The developers promise that this will be the most action-packed journey of the three heroes so far.

Trine 5 could definitely be worth a try, even if you usually stay away from platformers, as even the predecessors were great.

Trine 5 Release Trailer

Where can you play? On Steam, you can play Trine 5 since August 31, 2023. However, it is also available for the Switch, PS4/5, and Xbox.

What makes the game special? As seen in the trailer, the game consists of many puzzles in a 2.5D world that must be solved to advance in the story. Solve them solo or in co-op, with adaptive difficulty levels based on the current number of players. This is meant to give the game a certain replay value.

The solutions to the puzzles feel very classic and utilize the abilities of the different characters. For example, use magical items to build a bridge, employ the thief’s agility to progress with ropes, or utilize the knight’s strength to set things in motion.

These features are also promised in Trine 5:

  • A beautiful fantasy world with great graphics
  • Customizable outfits for your heroes
  • A fairytale soundtrack and voice acting with recurring fan favorites
  • A character-specific skill quest system for more gameplay variety
  • Local and online co-op for 1 to 4 players

You will also encounter various enemies. The developers promise a new combat system, which also has a small preview. Here too, the abilities of the characters play a clear role. For instance, the knight can parry attacks with his shield, and the thief can nimbly jump around the enemies.

Check out this list to find the new game for you and your friends:

Diablo 4: Blizzard says a new DLC is expected every year – They finally want to do justice to the players

Diablo 4 is a difficult topic in the hack & slash community. A long-awaited game that has disappointed many players after the great campaign. Rod Fergusson, the General Manager of Diablo, now talks about the future of Diablo 4 and how long they intend to support the game.

Where does the information come from? The American news site “Dexerto” conducted an interview with the General Manager of Diablo 4, Rod Fergusson. This primarily focused on how long Blizzard wants to support the hack & slash and what the future holds for upcoming DLCs and expansions.

As Diablo 3 has been supported for 11 years, but Blizzard was not satisfied with the implementation, the team wants to take a different path to meet the community’s expectations.

Diablo 4 presents new Season 2, coming this fall – Blood & Vampires

Many years and DLCs are expected to follow in the future

What was discussed in the interview? Patrick Dane, the journalist behind the interview, opened the conversation with the following question: “This is a broader question: How long does the future of Diablo 4 last? How far does this vision go? You know, we have the launch behind us, which had a really nice, compact campaign. And now we are dealing with the seasonal things. How long can this last?”.

Rod Fergusson responded as follows:

But you know, it’s years and years. That’s what we’re focusing on. When you look at the launch of the game and this first season, we see it as a foundation to build on for the future.

So when we look at our quarterly seasons and our annual expansions, those are the things we are really focusing on in our live service. We have plans, we have storylines that stretch far into the future. […]

When you look back and realize that there were 11 years between D3 and D4, it feels like we haven’t done justice to our players, our community, and what they deserve. That’s something we want to correct in D4 with our seasons and our expansions.

via dexerto.com

Here Rod Fergusson talks about annual expansions that are expected to take place in the coming years. How large these expansions will be and whether new classes will also be introduced into the game is still unclear. The fact is, Blizzard wants to engage its players more intensively than has been the case with Diablo 3.

The system resembles Destiny 2: The upcoming DLCs and seasons are likely to be monetized. If you know Destiny 2, this system may also seem familiar to you. Bungie also monetizes Destiny 2 in the same style:

  • Annual DLCs
  • 4 seasons per year

Both can be purchased together in a large package or separately. It is possible that Blizzard is taking a page from Bungie’s book and wants to implement a similar system to keep Diablo 4 alive.

Only the future will show how large the expansions and prices will be, but until then, what do you think about Blizzard’s plans? Are you interested in the upcoming system or do you have no interest?

Trymacs makes fun of his own content: “We have been playing mobile games for 7 years”

Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler is one of the biggest streamers on German Twitch. Whether that is justified, the 29-year-old seems to be unsure about it himself.

How did this statement come about? Trymacs has just returned from the filming of the survival show 7 vs. Wild and now has a lot to catch up on. After all, a lot has happened in the meantime. For instance, the TikToker Dilara conquered German Twitch.

In a reaction video, Trymacs saw a short dance clip of the influencer in a Shego look. For the streamer, it was “TikTok in its purest form”: she was just dancing. A viewer called it “ridiculous” that one could become famous with that. This prompted him to a brief reflection on his own content.

Trymacs says: “I don’t think that’s quite fair”

How does Trymacs see his own content? The Twitch streamer seems to be quite disillusioned in this regard. After all, there are enough people who are bothered by his content, and he seems to be aware of that:

Well, we just spent 30 hours watching Frank Rosin from some episodes that are 10 years old, as he completely insults restaurants. And a hundred thousand people watch that. So I don’t find that quite fair, I must say.

Or we’ve been playing mobile games for 7 years and it’s just ridiculously great and millions of people watch that again.

Especially in the last part, Trymacs can’t help but laugh. At the same time, however, he seems almost a bit embarrassed, considering the content he is known for. Critics often label the 29-year-old as a “Pay2Win streamer” and get upset when he, for example, lets friends pull him to a higher rank in a game.

However, Trymacs has a healthy dose of self-irony: he calls himself “streamer without skill” and laughs about his massive spending in games – considering it an investment in his content. You can find the entire reaction on the streamer’s YouTube channel, the topic starts at 05:16.

Who becomes famous for what in social networks is always a question. MontanaBlack, who is among the biggest streamers on German Twitch, says about himself: he was in the right place at the right time, his skills had nothing to do with his success.

The German Twitch streamer MontanaBlack gives an honest interview on ZDF: “I have never been good at games.”

Fans bridge the waiting time for Starfield, build impressive gaming setups in sci-fi design

With gaming setups in the colors of Starfield, fans stylishly prepare for the launch of the space RPG. We show you the most original ideas here.

Starfield fans have been waiting a long time for Bethesda’s new title. However, they have not been idle from the first announcement in 2018 to the present and have sweetened the waiting time by building their very own gaming setups inspired by Starfield-themed sci-fi designs.

This includes gaming PCs and matching peripheral devices. We also show you ideas from the Reddit community that go beyond normal PC gaming.

Start video
Starfield brings what fans of Star Citizen wish for – decades earlier, but with a catch

Rainbow colors in gaming setup

What color accents does Bethesda use for their game? The design of Starfield unmistakably resembles the color spectrum of rainbows. The logo and pattern for the game are in blue, yellow, orange, and red on a white background. Inspired by this, fans of the game showcase their color-coordinated gaming environments and share them with the Reddit community.

How are the fans preparing? While some gamers simply change their desktop backgrounds to various Starfield-themed motifs, others on Reddit are creatively going beyond that. Some set up “space decor” like a spaceship made of Lego on their desks or in the shelves above.

What do Starfield fans color? In the posts, you can frequently see white peripheral devices. Keyboards are particularly popular, with some letters replaced by colorful counterparts, forming a rainbow stripe due to their arrangement. The picture is often completed by a mousepad or a desk mat printed with a gaming logo. Occasionally, you can also spot a Starfield-themed Xbox controller, which Microsoft exclusively released for the launch.

However, the real highlight is the showcased gaming PCs with glass side panels and their bright RGB lighting.

Thanks to the built-in LEDs, which can glow in all conceivable colors, graphics cards, fans, and even cables are accordingly colored. Thus, the gaming PCs showcase the entire color palette of Bethesda’s title.

This way, while waiting and soon playing the space RPG, a definitely atmospheric vibe is created, and it might even immerse some deeper into the story of Starfield.

Starfield color accents beyond PC gaming setups

What other ideas do the players come up with? Cross-platform gaming is now a given. Therefore, it is not surprising that some fans are also targeting other technical devices and color-coordinating them with Starfield.

Even though the space RPG will run less performantly on the Steam Deck despite our tips for more FPS, a Reddit user has taken the liberty of visually adapting his handheld.

Even more elaborate and beautiful to look at, but all the more tragic is the Reddit post about a PlayStation 5, including a controller in the Starfield look.

Why is there no Starfield on PS5? Since Bethesda now belongs to Microsoft, the company has blocked a release on Sony’s console. Currently, only PC and Xbox players get to enjoy playing Starfield.

Microsoft raises the bar even higher

In cooperation with the mattress manufacturer Tempur, the Xbox developer showcased a Starfield gaming chair at this year’s Gamescom. With this, Microsoft far surpasses the projects of fans.

The “Dream Chair,” as the piece of furniture is called, is designed like a spaceship cockpit. A huge screen, a joystick on each armrest, and countless buttons and switches leave nothing to be desired.

Is the chair available for purchase? The chair is not for sale and is intended to find a new owner for charitable purposes at the end of the year.

Unique hardware from AMD for Starfield is currently being auctioned for thousands of euros on eBay – allegedly for a good cause

What about you? Have you prepared for the launch of Starfield in a similar way?

Final Fantasy 14: Player creates life-sized bronze statue of his character: “Took me 450 hours”

In the MMORPG Final Fantasy 14, players can create their own character with the character editor. A fan is so excited about his character that he has created a life-sized bronze statue of her. The figure now stands in his garden.

What kind of figure is this? The player created a bronze statue for his own in-game character named Yoko Akatsuki. He worked on the project for a total of six months.

With all costs for materials, tools and the support in casting the statue, he has spent a considerable sum of around 5,000 US dollars.

The figure weighs 450 kg and has a height of 1.50 m. This is actually the true size of his in-game character, as his character belongs to the Au Ra, who can be smaller than other types. The weight is probably not entirely accurate, even though the Au Ra wears heavy armor.

He proudly presents his work on Reddit:

The figure is hollow so that the artist could save material and the transport is therefore easier. He mostly constructed the statue alone, as he has recently discovered sculpting as a hobby.

Before casting the bronze statue, he made a mold from clay, plaster and modeling mass. With the molds, he then poured the individual parts with external help, which he then assembled as a complete statue.

The project was particularly challenging because of deciphering the blurry textures in the game and embellishing armor, sword, and shield with small details. Fortunately, a graphics update for Final Fantasy 14 is coming soon, which could solve the problem of blurry textures.

Fans of Final Fantasy 14 are excited about the statue

Many users are excited about the statue. One user is already thinking decades ahead and suggests that the statue could be found by future humanity in the year 3023, which would then study it more closely.

Another fan jokes that humanity might think the statue used to be a goddess of war for the previous civilization. The sculptor simply hopes that it won’t be melted down for weapons or metal someday.

Other users, however, are completely thrilled:

  • drawdiuqSsdrawkcaB: ‘If there’s an award for fan of the year, you should get it.’
  • ArsChromatica: ‘I have no idea about bronze sculptures and casting, but this looks incredible! So many details in the armor and the sword! Amazing work, thanks for sharing!’
  • Analog-Moderator: ‘Holy crap, this is amazing, I don’t even have anything snarky to say, well done!’

Another user mocks that he would have saved a lot of time with a Lalafell as an in-game character. This character type is a good bit smaller than the Au Ra. But the sculptor counters that he probably would have only saved a week, as the details on the armor took him the most time.

What players don’t have to wait so long for: Soon, the huge mandatory story can be skipped, at least most of it: The MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV will soon allow you to skip the huge mandatory story: The chef advises against it

40 German Vtubers organize a streaming marathon for charity – Everything you need to know about vSmile

An annual charity event on Twitch by Vtubers called “vSmile” began in 2021 as an initiative to raise donations. Now they are going into the third round, and MeinMMO tells you who is behind the project and what it is all about.

What are Vtubers? Vtuber is short for Virtual YouTuber“. These content creators, who hide behind virtual avatars, have gained a large following on platforms like YouTube and Twitch in recent years.

Vtubers use motion capture technology and real-time animation to bring their digital characters to life and create interactive livestreams and videos.

The fascination of the audience lies not only in the unique and often lovable personalities of the Vtubers but also in the opportunity to interact with their virtual idols.

Here you can find another charity event organized by streamers:

Friendly Fire 8 is starting soon – Gronkh & Co. collect donations in the millions annually

Who is behind vSmile? The origin of vSmile, a remarkable charity event that has united the Virtual YouTuber community since 2021, goes back to an inspiring idea by Twitch streamer Lia’del Yuli.

In response to the devastating floods in Germany that year, Lia initially decided to host a charity livestream alone for the flood victims. She presented her idea to the community and received a great response. Within a short time, so many people offered their support that she was literally overwhelmed.

Among those who spontaneously decided to join this commendable initiative were Vtuber artists Kiyichu, Ako Yagami, and Frau Mauzenberger.

Frau Mauzenberger remembers this early time and says: ‘Like the complete idiots we are, we suggested bringing all supporters together and making a big event out of it.’

The naming process was a challenge, but ultimately, they decided on “vSmile” because it sounds like “We Smile” – a message that says they will smile for the people no matter what happens.

What makes this event particularly impressive is the fact that the organizers and participants do not receive any financial compensation. They are volunteering for this good cause.

Their joint commitment is a positive example of the power of the online community and their willingness to do good.

Numerous Vtubers are participating

How did the first charity event go? They only had about a week to put the entire event together in the first year. Despite this tight deadline, around 40 Vtubers joined the initiative to take part in this unique stream marathon.

The response from viewers and supporters was overwhelming, and in the end, the organizers of vSmile were able to collect a remarkable sum of 10,795 Euros for “Aktion Deutschland Hilft“. The money is for the victims of the flood disaster.

In light of this impressive success, they unanimously decided to make these donation streams a permanent tradition. They want to continue their mission of spreading help and hope in difficult times.

What happened next with vSmile? In the second year, 2022, vSmile was again able to achieve major successes. Over 70 Vtubers performed together and dedicated the event to cancer research.

The goal of raising 7,500 Euros was more than surpassed, as a remarkable total of 9,160 Euros was collected.

The stream marathon ended with an emotional moment when all four organizers confirmed the next event in tears. However, these tears were not only tears of joy, as Ako Yagami shared that this would unfortunately be her last vSmile as an organizer. Nevertheless, she stated that she remains determined to support the event to the best of her ability.

This year is dedicated to environmental protection

What is being raised this year? The commitment of vSmile to charitable causes is entering a new round this year. On September 9 and 10, the stream marathon will once again take place with over 40 Vtubers to raise donations for environmental protection.

Organizer Lia emphasizes the seriousness of this matter, as environmental issues affect all people, regardless of their background.

Therefore, vSmile wants not only to provide financial support but also to help raise awareness of this important issue and use the reach of the Vtuber community to initiate positive change.

This year, well-known Vtuber personalities such as Nayami or Lotta will also be actively involved and perform in their own segments to support the event and ensure the success of the fundraising campaign.

5 Decisions in Baldur’s Gate 3 That Can Kill You Instantly

In Baldur’s Gate 3 you can die. And often. Sometimes a single dialogue option is enough to meet your end.

In Baldur’s Gate 3, you will face a variety of choices. Some significantly determine how the story will progress, while others are just small side pieces of information that you can gain.

However, some answers or decisions have particularly drastic consequences: They lead to the death of your character and often to an immediate “Game Over”.

We present to you some of these decisions that can directly lead to death.

Spoiler Alert: This covers some devastating decisions from Baldur’s Gate 3, so there will be spoilers. You have been warned.

Start video
A useful feature can make your life in Baldur’s Gate 3 much easier

1. A kiss with the Mind Flayer

Right after the Nautiloid crashes at the beginning of Act 1, you can make a fatal misdecision. For in the wreckage of the ship, you find an injured Mind Flayer. When you speak to him, he tries to impose his will on you. Or more directly: He wants to make you love him.

If you do not resist the urge and give in to this feeling, your character ultimately bends down towards the Mind Flayer to give him a kiss – and is killed in the process, with brain and thoughts consumed. A premature but very fitting end that once again highlights the threat posed by Mind Flayers.

2. The Masks of the Hag

A second method of “Game Over” can be found when you first confront the Hag. If you do not kill the witch immediately in her house, she flees to her secret hideout, which is guarded by a series of protective mechanisms. One of these mechanisms is a large door.

You have multiple options to get through the door, but the “most obvious” one is on the table next to the door: 4 masks.

Baldur's Gate 3 Witch
The Hag is pleased when you put on the masks.

When you put on the mask, you hear the Hag speaking in your head, slowly extending her mind control. If you do not resist or quickly take off the mask, you will be controlled by the Hag and attack your teammates.

If all 4 teammates put on the mask and succumb to the Hag, then the adventure ends in a “Game Over”.

3. Death by Lae’zel

If you have made use of your special Illithid powers a few times, you will be particularly weak one evening. If Lae’zel is still in your camp, she will take notice. She sees it as the first signs of your transformation into a Mind Flayer.

Lae’zel then offers you a “solution”: She will first kill you and then herself, so that no one becomes a Mind Flayer. If you agree or simply say nothing, she will carry out this plan: She slits your throat and kills herself afterward.

This is only a “Game Over” if Lae’zel and your protagonist were the only characters in your group. Otherwise, you can simply resurrect her.

Baldur's Gate 3 Lae'zel title
Lae’zel takes quick action against you if you let her.

4. Death by a vampire

After you have picked up Astarion, you will have a special scene in your camp the following night. Because Astarion turns out to be a vampire and tries to drink from you.

This is generally not problematic as long as you stop the vampire after a few seconds. However, it becomes increasingly difficult, because as Astarion’s greed grows, you will become weaker and have to pass harder dice rolls.

If you fail to stop Astarion three times, you die.

Interestingly, you can then be resurrected by the other characters and throughout the rest of the playthrough refer back to the fact that Astarion has killed you once. These resurrections are actually part of the planned story.

5. Vlaakith’s wish

On the way over the mountain pass, you can delve deep into an abandoned monastery that the Githyanki have made their home. Here you come into contact with Queen Vlaakith, who speaks directly to you. If you are rude to her and show her no respect, she will become angry. If you are still cheeky, she casts one of the most powerful spells from Dungeons & Dragons: Wish.

That Vlaakith uses such a powerful spell to kill you instead of simply wishing for the fulfillment of her original goal is somewhat silly – but it also fits excellently with her character.


Have you found any other decisions that led directly to your own death?

Your wish is for your group to die. And that is exactly what happens.

The queen of the Githyanki wishes for your death if you are rude.

That Vlaakith uses such a powerful spell to kill you instead of simply wishing for the fulfillment of her original goal is somewhat silly – but it also fits excellently with her character.

Streamer says: Activision Blizzard does not want her at CoD event because of her bikini photos

The Twitch streamer Nadia Amine is a controversial figure in Call of Duty. Some accuse her of cheating. She considers these statements sexist. Now, the 23-year-old feels wrongly discriminated against by Activision Blizzard. She says she is not invited to an event for “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3” because of her bikini photos. That is unfair. Critics counter that she has not streamed Call of Duty for months.

Who is she?

  • Nadia Amine is a big streamer on Twitch who currently reaches about 4,400 viewers when she goes live. Nadia is primarily known for her gameplay in Call of Duty: Warzone. Recently, however, she has been seen more often in the “Pools and Hot Tubs” category.
  • Nadia is a controversial figure: She sees herself as an excellent Call of Duty player. However, her critics accuse her of cheating. This can be seen in how she regularly plays poorly in a “monitored” environment. Streamer Asmongold has called for her permanent ban.
  • The streamer defends herself against such allegations and attributes the many accusations to sexist prejudices: People likely think that just because she is an attractive woman, she cannot be good at a shooter.

Streamer feels discriminated against due to bikini photos

This is now the controversy: The Twitch streamer says on Twitter that Activision Blizzard did not invite her to the “CoD Next” event where the next Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be presented.

She believes it is related to her bikini photos that she shares on Twitter. However, she emphasizes that she has never shown herself naked.

https://twitter.com/TheNadiaAmine/status/1698818452830794021
This is how the streamer presents herself on Twitter.

She sees her exclusion as “double standards” and told Activision Blizzard this, since they repeatedly invite male streamers who post questionable pictures of themselves.

But Activision Blizzard dismissed her objection and “lied.”

As examples of problematic content creators who show bare skin, she posts pictures of Tfue, Swagg, Aydan, and Lucky.

Streamer shows hardly any more Call of Duty, has grown since then

How is this being discussed? Influencer Jake Lucky believes: The disinvitation is due to the fact that the streamer has not streamed Call of Duty for “months”. Furthermore, it is unfair to bring Tfue into the conflict. He has been retired for months.

According to Lucky, the streamer has already lost sponsorship deals since she changed her content. Therefore, it should not surprise her that Activision Blizzard ended their collaboration with her (via twitter).

Other users criticize: Even Activision Blizzard has recognized that the streamer cheats and therefore does not want to invite her.

This is what lies behind it: Indeed, there seems to be some truth to the criticism: Nadia has played a lot of Call of Duty in the last six months, but in recent months it has decreased significantly and then stopped completely.

  • The last “Call of Duty” stream is from July 12.
  • Since June 6, she has deviated from regular Call of Duty streaming.

Since she stopped streaming Call of Duty, her viewer numbers have actually risen steadily.

Overall, the cheating discussion is also very present:

Destiny 2: Weekly Reset on 09.05. – Lord Saladin’s fires are burning again

A new week starts in Destiny 2 and we are giving you an overview of the content and events that await you in the coming days. We also have a fiery announcement to make: The Iron Banner returns this week.

This is happening this week: The Iron Banner, a popular seasonal PvP event in Destiny 2, starts this week for the first time in Season 22.

The Wolves of Lord Saladin call upon all brave Guardians to participate in the intense battles of the Iron Banner. In the new season, there are also a few fresh rewards to earn that come in the Iron Banner look:

  • The Arc precision bow “Antler Shoot” from the Cassoid Forge.
  • Additionally, the Strand scout rifle “The Leading Sight”, which has a high penetration.

Which mode is active in the Iron Banner? For all who like to know in advance what is coming to earn these weapons: You should play Iron Banner in the “Fortress” mode. If that doesn’t appeal to you, then we recommend waiting for the second Iron Banner on October 10. There you can shine in the tried-and-true “Control” mode.

The Iron Banner is a great opportunity to prove your skills in the Crucible and measure yourself against other Guardians on a pleasant level.

In addition to the iron fight in PvP, it is also the first week of the Crota raid. The Guardians wish for the Contest mode of the Worlds First to return, as that was a lot of fun.

Destiny 2: Crota’s End, Legacy Raid of Season 22

The most important information about activities from September 5 to September 12.

[toc]

Nightfall

Season 22 has full battlefield power in the Nightfall, as all three battlegrounds are in the rotation. This should put your builds to a hard test. On September 12, the PvE endgame officially starts in Destiny 2 with the top-tier Nightfalls.

However, this week you first have to face the Daughter of Crota and climb the Scarlet Fortress.

  • The Scarlet Fortress, on the Moon
    • Hashladun, the Daughter of Crota, has designed the red Cabal bastion to harness the energies of the pyramid buried in the abyss below. You are to drive her out from her refuge in the strike and further thin out the offspring of Oryx.
Nightfall weapon of the week: Hawkmoon, kinetic hand cannon

Crucible – This is the rotating PvP activity

In the second week of the season, the two modes Conflict and Team Scorch are running in PvP.

Endgame: Raid Challenges and Rotations

Farmable endgame in weekly rotation: In the further course of the endgame, the Legacy rotations await.

Both the rotation raid, the rotation dungeon, and the exotic rotation missions are farmable. This means you can complete the individual encounters repeatedly to receive various items and complete your collection. Including possible exotics available in those contents.

  • The weekly Legacy raid is “Deep Stone Crypt” with the weapon exotic “Eyes of Tomorrow”
  • Furthermore, there are extra top loot and the exotic “Xenophage” in the dungeon “Pit of Heresy”.
  • The weekly exotic mission is “Operation Seraph’s Shield” with the exotic “Revision Zero”.

Weekly Activities

Eris Morn has taken a dark turn in Season 22

Season 22 offers Guardians new challenges and a card deck that supports them on their missions with buffs and benefits, as long as they unlock everything and assemble their deck appropriately.

  • Altars of Summoning: Offer sacrifices in the otherworldly prison of the Witch Queen to summon hideous foes, 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 face a mighty sweat.
  • Savathûn’s Pillar: Activate the pillar, defeat its overseers, and gain access to the Altars of Summoning.
    • Void Crystals have a barrier around them that protects enemies nearby. The barrier must be entered and the crystal destroyed from the inside.
    • Solar Crystals burn upon pickup and must be transported to a separate part of the arena.
    • Arc Crystals grant the melee charge buff “Crystalline Charge”. Inactive Arc Crystals must be awakened with a “Transfer Melee”.

Lightfall – Weekly Campaign Mission

  • “Bonebreaker”
    • This mission reveals more information about the Cloud Ark that the Guardians are to discover. Rohan therefore sends you to the reactor of the network and infrastructure of Neomuna.

Ascendant Challenge – Dreaming City

  • Petra Venj can be found in the area of Rheasilvia in the Dreaming City. The whole zone is under the 3rd curse week. The 4th Ascendant Challenge is to be mastered.

All sources for top loot in Season 22 of Destiny 2

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

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

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

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

This top loot brings your power level up to 1,810:

  • Top raid “Crota’s End” (+2)
  • Top dungeon “Ghosts of Depth” (+2)
  • Legacy raid rotation this week: “Deep Stone Crypt” (+2) – farmable
  • Legacy dungeon rotation “Pit of Heresy” (+2) – farmable
  • Legacy exotic mission “Operation: Seraph’s Shield” (+2)
  • Earn 200,000 points by completing Nightfalls (+2)
  • “Eternity’s Trials”: Reach at least 250,000 points or more (+2)
  • Complete the exotic mission //knoten.ovrd.AVALON// in the EDZ (+2)

As if 40 hours: Speedrunners beat Starfield in 3 hours before the full release

The new SciFi RPG Starfield from Bethesda is set to provide a campaign that will keep you engaged for about 40 hours. Even before the game celebrates its full release on September 6, speedrunners are already making good progress. The record stands at 2:51 hours.

Starfield is a game that requires you to take your time. There is much to do, the game’s pace is generally rather slow, and distractions such as loot boxes or interesting NPCs are everywhere.

Over 250,000 lines of recorded dialogue are designed to prevent us from rushing through the RPG.

However, this does not bother the speedrunning community. They see a lot of potential in Starfield and are already working on techniques to get through the campaign even faster.

7 gameplay highlights from Starfield that you should know about

Currently, the best speedrunner for Starfield is a user named “Micrologist”. In a video on YouTube, you can watch the entire run, which is, however, full of spoilers for the game. At least only the main campaign is completed:

The video is likely to develop into a sort of tutorial: Which parts of the story can be skipped, which conversation options are important, where you can possibly save more time.

As the US site VG247 reports, a whole community is already working on a Discord server to develop tricks and tactics to progress faster.

In certain circumstances, you can trigger a teleport glitch with your character, but it’s still unclear how that exactly works. Something with melee attacks (via youtube.com). The third-person camera also offers much potential for moving through unwanted barriers.

The 3-hour mark is unlikely to last long. Someone may have already broken the record, and it’s likely to happen in quick succession now.

Speedruns are an important part of the gaming community. Many players try their hand at such an endeavor over the course of their gaming careers, most fail within the first few hours. Some persist and find a hobby for life.

And even the big role-playing games are ruthlessly optimized until only a few minutes remain: World record: Speedrunner completes Baldur’s Gate 3 in 4 minutes by putting Shadowheart in a box

Starfield celebrates the release on PC, Xbox, and in Game Pass tonight – All info in 2 minutes

Tonight is the night: Starfield celebrates its full release, finally all players can dive into the new SciFi RPG. Find out everything here about the start time, the download, and information about the release in the Game Pass, on Steam and Xbox.

When is Starfield coming out? Tonight at 2 AM, Starfield can be launched for all buyers of the Standard Edition and subscribers of the Xbox Game Pass.

  • Starfield Release: September 6 at 2 AM
    • Xbox App / Game Pass
    • Steam
    • Xbox Series X | S

How big is the download? You need to download about 120 GB. If you pre-ordered, you can start the download now.

On Steam, the download is only about 90 GB, but it needs to be unpacked at launch tonight. Don’t panic if Starfield doesn’t start immediately.

How much does Starfield cost? That depends on your platform. You shouldn’t buy the Premium Edition anymore. The included DLC probably isn’t worth the extra cost of around €30. Go for the Standard Edition or the Xbox Game Pass:

  • PC Standard Edition
    • Steam: Standard Edition: €69.99
    • Xbox App: €79.99
    • PC Game Pass: €9.99/month
  • Xbox Series Standard Edition
    • Xbox Store: €79.99
    • Xbox Game Pass: €10.99/month

If you want to play the game for free, you can get 14 trial days as a gift from a friend who is a Game Pass subscriber.

What is the reception of Starfield? Many reviews and reactions to the game are already online, and the Early Access has been running for a few days.

In general, one can say: If you expected a sophisticated space sim in the Bethesda style, you will be disappointed. It’s more like “Skyrim in space”, the space mechanics are rather slim. If you can get along with something like Fallout 4 or Skyrim in a science fiction setting, you will be kept busy for the next week.

Here are some articles with assessments of the game:

Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz calls the internet to a meme competition – And they deliver

Our Chancellor Olaf Scholz fell while jogging last Saturday and sustained visible injuries to his face. He is even wearing an eye patch to cover part of the bruises. Mr. Scholz and his team are proving their sense of humor and are essentially challenging all of Germany to a meme competition.

This is the situation:

  • Chancellor Olaf Scholz fell while jogging and has been wearing an eye patch since then. He is doing well, but Scholz canceled some campaign appointments on Sunday following the fall.
  • By Monday, Scholz was back to his appointments, but he is now wearing an eye patch – which he is expected to wear for 2 to 3 weeks, as his spokesperson explained.
  • Apparently to take the wind out of the sails of his critics, Scholz posted a picture with an eye patch on Twitter / X with the text: ‘Whoever has the damage… I’m looking forward to the memes.’ (via twitter.com)

We took a look at the reactions generated by his witty remark on MeinMMO.

Similar difficult end bosses like Olaf Scholz’s jogging route await you in the following video:

As expected, many users from various platforms have jumped onto the image. The following image under the Chancellor’s post is the most popular with nearly 10,000 likes:

The repurposed image from the intro of Spongebob is probably the most obvious. Many versions of it can be found and it has been shared very often. The Marvel hero Nick Fury is also frequently featured. Here he is even with the whole team of the Coalition Avengers:

However, the comparison with a pirate seems to be more popular than with a superhero. The famous pirate Jack Sparrow is not to be missed and is also seen very often:

Even on the discussion platform Reddit, the meme call was well received. The subreddit ‘PhotoshopBattles’ has taken on the eyepatch chancellor (via reddit.com):

Under Scholz’s Twitter post, the mood is really good. Many users find the post ‘ironically funny’ – one of the greatest compliments in the modern Internet.

Feel free to leave your silly remark on the topic or tell us in the comments what you think of the Chancellor’s reaction.

Some doors seem insurmountable in Starfield, but a simple tool provides relief

Opening certain doors can puzzle some players in Starfield, but the first “weapon” you receive in the game is the solution.

Which doors are we talking about? In Starfield, there are red emergency exit doors (Emergency Cuttable Wall) in some places. They do not have a handle or an automated switch to open them.

If you have ever stood in front of such a door in Bethesda’s latest RPG, you might have wondered how to open the damn thing. You might think there is no clue, but the solution to the puzzle is right on the door.

Start video
Starfield shows the Chronomark watch of the Constellation Edition

How can you open the doors? With the “Cutter.” The Cutter is the first “weapon” you receive in Starfield.

Shoot the laser simply at the four yellow pins in the corners of the door. Additionally, you will find a clue on the door indicating where exactly you need to cut: an arrow and the words “Cut Pins” show you the spots.

We will include a clip that shows you how to use the cutter here:

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from Twitter that complements the article.

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.
Link to the Twitter content

During the introductory mission, you are shown that you can use the cutter’s laser to harvest resources. Although the door is not a resource, if something can cut through various metals, it can open a door as well.

For some doors, simply pulling out your cutter is not enough. Occasionally, you need to pick locks the old-fashioned way with the Digidietrich. However, for particularly stubborn locks, you need a skill called “Security” and you must upgrade it during the course of the game.

Which skills are particularly useful at the start of Starfield, you can read here:

German streamer plans a big event, is annoyed by spoiled influencer colleagues: “Was close to uninviting them”

The Berlin-based Elias “EliasN97” Nerlich (25) is number 1 in German Twitch. He loves to host large events with many influencers. Now he talks about how working with colleagues is not always that easy.

What kind of situation is this? On September 9, EliasN97 is hosting his Eligella Cup 2023 at the Mercedes-Benz Arena Berlin. In this football event, German Twitch streamers and YouTubers will compete against each other in a total of 8 teams.

There should be almost 70 participants, for whom the streamer will cover travel and accommodation costs. This was apparently not enough for some. A clip of EliasN97 is now circulating on X, formerly Twitter, in which he complains about ungrateful colleagues.

Gratitude is also an important topic for Twitch colleague MontanaBlack:

Start video

Influencer management made special demands

What bothers EliasN97? In the short video, the streamer explains what really angers him: ingratitude. He received a call from his manager shortly before his stream who informed him that there was a problem with the Eligella Cup.

The management of some influencers threatened that their talents would not participate in the event unless some conditions were met:

  • Travel must be in first class
  • A normal hotel room is not enough; it must be a “very good” one
  • All costs should also cover a companion

We have embedded the clip for you here:

https://twitter.com/drecksuser/status/1698259618294595864?s=20

How does the streamer respond to the demands? EliasN97 says he was about to uninvite the influencers in question. Instead, he seems to have contented himself with sending a memo to management in which he demanded a personal apology for himself and his own management for the special requests.

On X, many users agree with the Twitch streamer and are annoyed by the alleged star attitudes of the influencers. Some are now guessing which content creators or which management might be meant.

However, EliasN97 did not name names. It is also unclear whether the influencers made these special requests or whether management made such demands on its own initiative. The streamer himself will not participate in his event due to an injury.

The Eligella Cup 2023 will not only be shown live on-site but also streamed, although not on Twitch, but on Joyn. Many content creators team up with the streaming service for larger events because they feel insufficiently supported by Twitch:

Starfield: 6 of the most important planets you should visit

In Starfield there are a variety of planets that you can explore, but some of them are worth it from the beginning. We show you 6 planets that are among the best and reveal what makes them so special.

How many planets does Starfield offer? In Starfield you can explore up to 1000 planets. Most of them are dead, barren planets, but some of them are vibrant and diverse.

We have selected 6 planets for you that are either narratively exciting or offer cool things. We will delve deeper into the planets and show you what they look like, but first, let’s move on to our selection. The following finalists made it:

You can tap on the individual names to jump from one planet to another. We will now go into detail about our selection. Let’s start with our formerly blue planet – Earth.

With a good ship, you can explore all the planets. Here we have a deep dive on ships for you:

The Shipbuilding of Starfield – Segment from the Deep Dive

Earth

Starfield-Earth

Where is this planet located? In the Sol system.

What does this planet offer? No fauna and flora, but remnants of human civilization and water.

Why is the planet so important? Earth holds an important place for us humans. Without it, we could not exist, hence the history behind its state is all the more interesting.

The once blue-green celestial body is now just a barren, dry remnant of what humans once called home. A catastrophic event in 2203 destroyed Earth, leaving only the remnants of our civilization behind.

It is definitely interesting to see what has become of Earth.

Mars

Starfield-Mars

Where is this planet located? In the Sol system.

What does this planet offer? No fauna, but ancient flora instead. There is also water.

Why is the planet so important? Mars was used as a mining site for valuable minerals before the great catastrophe on Earth. Many years later, there are still humans underground mining minerals for spaceship construction.

The planet is not only narratively interesting but also offers the colony “Cydonia,” which you can visit.

Jemison

Starfield-Jemison

Where is this planet located? In the Alpha Centauri system

What does this planet offer? Lush fauna and flora as well as water and other minerals.

Why is the planet so important? Jemison is a new Earth-like celestial body that has been taken over by humans.

Along with many living beings and plants, the planet also features the large city “New Atlantis,” where you can trade or stroll through the shops.

Especially for the Constellation, Jemison is an important planet that you should explore.

New MMO on Steam lets you be a farmer, pirate, or king – reminiscent of “Gothic” and “Valheim”

On Steam, a new survival MMO has been announced for the end of September 2023, which at least visually reminds of other well-known games in the trailer. According to the developers, various mechanics are also quite comparable to other games.

What does the trailer show? The trailer for “Kingdoms of Ereloth” showcases a medieval world and visually reminds of well-known game series such as “Gothic” or “Dragon Age”.

You can see old castle walls surrounded by chaos and corpses, or a church hall with an altar, as well as a longer dungeon corridor, in which only skeletons can be found.

Underground constructions shrouded in a mystical green light, housing an ancient throne, or a “mushroom forest” that almost looks as if you have been shrunk down, will await you in the world of Ereloth.

Start video
Kingdoms of Ereloth MMO Steam

The trailer also shows you the sea and some sailing ships that sail it at the end. Whether these will be controllable by you in the game or not is not clear from the trailer. However, it definitely promises that in Ereloth, you can also pursue your path as a pirate.

Overall, the short trailer does not show much of the actual gameplay yet.

But you can see two combat scenes, against a large troll and another knight. In response to the user’s question SantoIago (via Youtube) about the combat system, the developers compare this to New World.

The character is seen cutting down a tree and smashing stones in the mine. In a time-lapse, you then see a stone house being built. How much you actually need to take part in the construction is not made clear.

When looking at the building mechanics, the similarity to Valheim comes into play. However, the developers emphasized in a response to the comment from ryandikisetiawan that while it is comparable to Valheim, they are trying to differentiate themselves.

EA Sports FC 24 Ratings: Leak reveals the 10 best cards – Haaland with big jump

Currently, more and more leaks about the ratings for EA Sports FC 24 are emerging. But what does the top 10 look like?

Where do the ratings come from? The leaks that we are showing you here come from the well-known FUT leaker “Fut Scoreboard“. On his X account (formerly Twitter), numerous leaks with the alleged ratings of the cards of FIFA successor EA Sports FC 24 have appeared for days.

Recently, the cards of FC Bayern were leaked and now the overall ratings of the top 10 cards are supposedly known.

But keep in mind that the values have not yet been officially confirmed by EA. The official ratings should be released soon.

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

According to the leak, these are the top 10 cards in EA Sports FC 24

The leak names the following cards as the best 10 players in FC 24:

  1. Courtois: 90 – previously 90
  2. Benzema: 90 – previously 91
  3. Kane: 90 – previously 89
  4. Lewandowski: 90 – previously 91
  5. Kerr: 90 – previously 91
  6. Messi: 90 – previously 91
  7. Putellas: 91 – previously 92
  8. De Bruyne: 91 – previously 91
  9. Haaland: 91 – previously 88
  10. Mbappé: 91 – previously 91

Looking at the cards more closely, it becomes apparent that some superstars from last year are missing. Salah, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Van Dijk are gone. Completely new are Putellas (91) and Kerr (90), as female footballers will be integrated into Ultimate Team in FC 24.

Additionally, the newly crowned cover star Erling Haaland has reached the top and is said to jump 3 points in the overall rating to 91. Thus, the Norwegian shares the top rating with Putellas (91), De Bruyne (91), and Mbappé.

According to the leak, world champion Lionel Messi has to accept a downgrade from 91 to 90 points in the overall rating.

You must be strong now: Your companions in Baldur’s Gate 3 don’t really like you that much

In Baldur’s Gate 3 romances are incredibly important. However, it turns out that companions only like you because of a bug. MeinMMO reveals what the story is about.

What are romances? In Baldur’s Gate 3, you can have romances with your companions. To do this, you need to impress the respective person through your actions and words. Your relationship with these companions develops depending on how you behave.

The initial jokes about the characters in Baldur’s Gate 3, which seemed overly eager, turned out to be surprisingly accurate.

If, for example, Gale or Karlach were particularly hot for you, it might be due to a bug, as Game Director Swen Vincke has now confirmed.

5 helpful tips for Baldur’s Gate 3

Did your companions want to jump you right away? “That was not intended”

What was said? Game Director Swen Vincke confirmed in an interview with TheGamer that the romantic relationships in Baldur’s Gate 3 were indeed faulty at launch.

This led to characters rushing towards the player much faster and more intensely than originally intended. Especially Gale, the charming wizard, seemed to go from zero to a hundred in flames. Swen Vincke additionally emphasized:

The consent thresholds were too low when we released the game. That’s why the companions were so eager at the start. It shouldn’t have been that way. We’ve fixed it in the meantime, at least for some of them. We’re still working on it.

Swen Vincke

Gale was the one most affected by this bug. Vincke emphasized that this was not intended and that Gale should not be making romantic progress so quickly.

Astarion seems to be the exception considering that he hands out the most rejections. According to Larian Studios , the heartbreaker has already handed out over 100,000 rejections in the first week of release.

Although some players welcomed the gained romance, it was not enough to prevent Larian Studios from fixing the bug.

Vincke explained that while there were many players who enjoyed this intensity, it occurred too quickly. The original goal was to make the romantic relationships in the game more realistic. He also emphasized that such behavior in real life would be “problematic.”

For those playing the game again (or on PS5) and wondering why it doesn’t work out with the romances right away: It seems that those playing on PS5 may have to put more effort into their romances.

To experience a successful romance in Baldur’s Gate 3, you should take the time to understand your companions’ needs. Make choices that your loved ones agree with. Gale, the charming wizard, might still get hot for you quite quickly, so be ready with the cold shower.
