The Timed Research for the Paldea Adventure in Pokémon GO has already been solved. We show you all tasks and rewards in the overview.
What kind of research is this? Today, on September 5, the “Paldea Adventure” event starts in Pokémon GO. This brings new Pokémon from the Paldea region into the game for you. In many places, you will encounter completely new Pokémon, including Ferkuli. Ferkuli makes its debut and comes directly with a Shiny chance in the game.
Additionally, there is timed research that gives you encounters with Ferkuli. We will show you the research with all quests and rewards.

For 50 Ferkuli candies, you can evolve a specimen into Fragrunz. The appearance of Fragrunz differs depending on whether you have a male or a female specimen.
After one chapter, the timed research is already completed and done. It is a short research with simple tasks that you can quickly complete or solve on the side. And for those wondering why you should catch 9, 1, and 5 Pokémon: The Pokédex entry for Ferkuli is the number 915.
As Dark Urge, you can quickly miss something in Baldur’s Gate 3. One of the most important scenes belongs to that – because it can be easily skipped.
Baldur’s Gate 3 is quite a large game. No matter how thoroughly you explore the world, it is simply impossible to experience everything on your first run. This is not only due to the decisions made but also often because of many hidden “triggers” that can trigger a cutscene or deny it forever.
A particularly important scene, if you’re playing the “Dark Urge,” most of you might have skipped – and did so without noticing.
Spoiler Warning: This article is about the entry of the “Dark Urge” in Baldur’s Gate 3.

What is the “Dark Urge”? The “Dark Urge” is one of the origin stories you can play in Baldur’s Gate 3. It is special because you can customize your character individually, but still experience a very specific story. Your character has amnesia and has forgotten much about their past. However, their thoughts often drift towards dark deeds that end in bloody atrocities and murders.
The exploration of the reasons behind this dark urge and understanding who or what you actually are or were is the essence of this story, which spans all three acts.

What kind of scene is that? During the first rest in the camp, your character takes some time to reflect on their own past. The interesting part: there are individual selection options depending on the chosen race and class. Those who think (rightly) that “Dark Urge” and “lawful paladin” do not match will be taught otherwise here.
The scene is not particularly long, but it puts you in the right mood to understand what your character is actually going through and what they have experienced in the past.
What prevents the scene? Your progress. Once you have done “too much” in Baldur’s Gate 3, the aforementioned scene will no longer take place. Because then it is overwritten by other events during the night.
One of these “triggers” is collecting Lae’zel. Once you have freed her from her predicament and she joins the group, it is already too late. Other companions, like Gale, Shadowheart, and Astarion, do not seem to cause this problem.
The problem here is that right after the crash, there is hardly any reason to take a long rest early on. After all, you are rested and can set off full of energy to experience adventures. Thus, many “Dark Urge” players unintentionally skip this scene.
So those who want to experience this scene should take a long rest as soon as possible after the crash to ponder their past as Dark Urge.
Today, on September 5th, the Spotlight Hour with Felino starts in Pokémon GO. We show you everything about the bonuses, the shiny, and the times of the event.
What kind of event is this? During a Spotlight Hour, a Pokémon with a bonus is the focus for 60 minutes, which applies to all trainers. Everyone can participate. At the beginning of each month, the developers determine which Pokémon along with which bonus (more XP, Stardust, or candies) will be active at the upcoming dates.
Today, the Spotlight Hour revolves around the Pokémon Felino, which comes from the second generation of the game.
Spotlight Hour on September 5th – Start, Bonuses, Shiny
When does the event begin? As always, the Spotlight Hour runs from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM local time.
What bonuses are available? During the event, you will receive double the amount of experience points for evolving Pokémon.
In addition, you will find significantly more Felino in the wild during this time. If you want to collect even more of them, you can use incense to increase the spawns.
Today marks the first Spotlight Hour in September 2023. An overview of what to expect in the coming weeks can be found here:
Is there a shiny form of Felino? Yes, you can catch the shiny form of Felino in Pokémon GO. However, keep in mind that the chances of finding one are not increased during the Spotlight Hours. So, you need a lot of luck if you want to find a shiny Felino.
Is the Spotlight Hour worth it today? If you enjoy PvP, today’s event might be worth it for you. Morlord, the evolution of Felino, can rank among the top mid-tier attackers in the Super League. However, this is the only strong use case.
Aside from that, you can use the event if you are still on the way to level 50. With the bonus, you earn additional XP.
At the same time, today also marks the start of the “Paldea Adventure” event, which brings you many exciting bonuses and new Pokémon into the game. Even if the Spotlight Hour today doesn’t appeal to you, you should take a look at the event.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
In the SciFi RPG Starfield, you decide who you want to be. A first step in this is choosing your background, which provides you with a backstory and skills. What is worth taking at the beginning, you can find out here on MeinMMO.
What does the background provide? The selection determines what life you led before the space adventure. This directly influences the gameplay at the start and the dialogue options available to you:
3 skills from the background
Special dialogue options
The initial skills significantly shape the first hours of the game, but become less important over time as you can activate the skills yourself later.
In the medium term, the backstory is more important, as you’ll gain new dialogue options with like-minded NPCs. Think about who you want to be and where you want advantages. If you prefer to be a pirate, you shouldn’t choose the background “Pilgrim.” You might miss out on cool conversations with criminal colleagues.
Our list focuses more on the skills that provide you with the greatest value at the start. If you are leaning towards “role-playing” and want others to react to your character accordingly, then choose a background that fits your story.
Start video
The Shipbuilding of Starfield – Segment from the Deep Dive
Starfield: Background for Start – Diplomat
What skills does “Diplomat” bring?
Persuasion
Trade
Well-being
What does it provide? A typical starter mix for Bethesda games: “Persuasion” opens many doors early on that require weapon-assisted persuasion for other players. “Trade” ensures that the few credits in your pocket are worth a bit more.
“Well-being” gives you higher health and is thus a generally strong skill that helps you in every fight.
What alternative suits? Industrial – Also comes with “Persuasion,” but gives you “Security” instead of “Trade,” which is the thief skill for lockpicking. Additionally, with “Research Methods” you get a small bonus on research.
Starfield: Background for Start – Soldier
What skills does “Soldier” bring?
Fitness
Ballistics
Boostpack Training
What does it provide? As a soldier, your weapon is at the ready, and you are specialized in ground combat. “Fitness” improves the efficiency of your oxygen supply, and “Ballistics” increases the damage of ballistic weapons. You can engage in longer battles, and with the increased damage, battles take less time. This provides security.
The whole thing is rounded off with “Boostpack Training,” which allows you to use the boostpack right from the start and significantly increases your mobility.
What alternative suits? Bounty Hunter – If you see yourself more in space combat, then opt for the Bounty Hunter. Especially if you are keen on the extensive shipbuilding options.
Starfield: Background for Start – FILE ERROR
What skills does “FILE ERROR” bring?
Well-being
Ballistics
Flying
What does it provide? Do you want to avoid committing to a background and prefer to create your own story? Choose FILE ERROR. There is no information about your life, and you receive a balanced mix of skills focused on combat.
But keep in mind: You will miss out on the additional conversation options that a defined background offers. Bethesda-typical would be if you find a specific quest during Starfield that investigates the mysterious origins of “FILE ERROR.”
What alternative suits? Rogue – you are a bit of a trickster, but do not let yourself be categorized as “good” or “bad.” Here too, you get a balanced skill mix, but with “Persuasion” in the portfolio. Additionally, you get “Pistol Certification” and “Flying.”
How do you choose your background? Do you focus on role-playing or is gameplay a priority for you? What background do you take to start? Leave a comment on the topic.
Shooting is not uncommon in the new sci-fi RPG Starfield. If you want to get a nasty piece right at the beginning, then get the “Elegance”.
What kind of weapon is this? The Elegance is a rare pistol that you can buy early in the game.
The US site PC Gamer discovered it in a shop in Akila City and swears by the strength and handling of the pistol (via pcgamer.com). For the start, there is hardly a better alternative among rare weapons with only one perk – but this perk is significant for the Elegance.
What the pistol can do and where to get it, you will find out here.
Start video
Gamescom ONL 2023 Trailer Starfield
What can the Elegance do? It is a pistol focused on medium combat distance. The Elegance offers little recoil, combined with a decent rate of fire. However, the small magazine holds the pistol back a bit.
The perk really hits hard:
Shattering: Breaks even the strongest armor
If you are somewhat good shooters, the Elegance should easily carry you through all the battles of your first space adventures. If you increase damage through skills like “Pistol Certification”, you should have no problems for now.
PC Gamer recommends a silencer – it gives extra damage to enemies who have not spotted you yet.
In the world of Destiny 2, changes through adjustments are inevitable. But this time, they are not just ordinary balancing changes. Bungie plans to overhaul one of the most popular support supers so that Warlocks are finally free.
What has Bungie announced? The online shooter has received numerous updates and expansions since its release to keep the gaming experience fresh and interesting. Now, Joe Blackburn, the Game Director of Destiny 2, has revealed his plans for the next update in a recent interview with PCGamer.
A primary focus for Bungie right now seems to be a skill that many players consider to be the strongest healing option in the game: the “Well of Radiance” from the Solar Warlock.
This ability has proven to be extremely useful for keeping teams alive in dangerous PvE fights.
However, the Well has long led to discussions about game balance, particularly concerning the Warlock class.
Many players see hardly any other option in the endgame than to rely on the Well as a healing and buffing option, partly because there are currently few other strong options.
The planned changes could finally free Warlocks from their “super handcuffs” in the endgame and allow them to try out other abilities and explore different playstyles.
“The Final Shape” will be the last DLC of a major saga in Destiny 2:
Start video
Destiny 2: The Final Shape – The last DLC of the first saga
How strong will the nerf be? Currently, the Warlock super “Well of Radiance” still dominates significantly in combination with some Destiny 2 exotics like “Divinity”, although this one has also just been nerfed recently.
The combination is still considered the best endgame support and thus remains a solid part of the DPS meta in Bungie’s loot shooter. However, this also makes it rather boring over time.
Blackburn emphasized that the rework is not meant to weaken the Warlock class overall. Instead, it should open up new possibilities for players.
We had to do this before, like with “Divinity” and automatic reloading. At some point, you think: ‘Hey, this super ability offers utility that many people like, but it also handcuffs many of our players. So, what version of this can we say: Okay, the time when everyone feels they have to do this is over.’ We know we need to make some changes before the raid of “The Final Shape.”
explained Joe Blackburn
Previously, experienced elite players like Datto and this year’s Worlds-First winner Saltagreppo had voiced their opinions on the impact of the Well and called for changes.
The 4-time Worlds-First winner Saltagreppo has long called for an adjustment to the Well
His reasoning: The Well restricts the build crafting and creativity of the players in endgame too much.
The changes I propose would actually improve the gaming experience for those who play less, as I always ask for a balanced game with more difficulty options to meet everyone’s needs. If anything, you should be pleased. In my ideal game, you can play with any setup for 3 hours a week and get by well.
The strand aspect “War Banner” emits energy that regularly heals nearby allies and increases melee and sword damage, which is extremely effective.
Other Destiny streamers like Gladd, however, fear that this may overly impact the experience of casual players if they lack this strong option in a raid.
When is the Warlock’s solar super supposed to be nerfed? According to current plans, Bungie seems to be aiming for the Well nerf with the upcoming expansion “The Final Shape.”
The Destiny 2 community is now eagerly waiting to see how Bungie will implement these announced changes in practice and how it will affect gameplay and strategies.
Do you agree with the views presented, or do you believe that the Well, as the strongest healing option in the game, should remain unchanged? Leave us your opinion and what you think in the comments.
Currently, players in Destiny 2 are defeating Crota, who returned to the game at the beginning of September:

The streamer xQc has become a multimillionaire after years on Twitch and a lucrative deal with the competing platform Kick. However, a legal dispute with his ex-girlfriend Adept could cost him a part of his fortune. He now explains when he had doubts about the relationship. He felt reduced to his wealth and possessions in a moment of weakness.
For several months, he has been involved in a legal dispute with his former girlfriend and partner Adept. She claims to be married to him under a special arrangement that applies in Texas. He denies this.
A legal dispute involves a lot of money. The separation is taking place publicly and the situation is becoming increasingly tense.

xQc opens up in online therapy on Twitch
What xQc says now: xQc has engaged in a kind of therapeutic online session with Dr. K on Twitch: Alok Kanojika (40) is a psychiatrist and hosts live sessions for streamers on the HealthyGamer_GG channel, where they reflect on their lives.
In the conversation, xQc says that he had a phase some time ago when he was very unwell. He does not want to elaborate on that:
During that time, he wrote his will together with his mother.
xQc told the person he was with at the time (apparently Adept) that he wanted people to “get stuff” when he checks out, i.e., dies.
The person was not included in the will.
In the moment when I was at my lowest, when I was so scared, writing my will, she asked me: Okay, if that happens, what do I get?

According to xQc, that was a key moment from which he began to understand things. He was very shocked afterward, calling it a very hard statement. From that moment, “things fell apart”.
xQc suggests that he felt he would be reduced to his possessions even at the moment of his death.
Dr. K confirms xQc’s assumption. According to him, in a situation where such a young man fears for his life, it would be more expected for the partner to ask what he has, how she could help him, and not to ask where she stands.
xQc says that after this incident, he noticed that behavior pattern more frequently.
How is this being discussed? This story also fuels a certain narrative that has developed in the Twitch community around xQc.
Adept is increasingly being demonized and portrayed as a “gold digger” who is only after xQc’s fortune. Since the incident with the sports car, this has become a popular narrative that is further fueled by xQc, who repeatedly suggests: Adept is only interested in money.
Fans strongly identify with xQc, whom they watch for hours daily.
But it doesn’t seem so “crazy greedy” when the partner asks why she is not considered in the will. The question seems quite understandable.
In 2021, Adept once shared how hard life was beside such a successful Twitch streamer:
A rage speech by a YouTube streamer is going viral on Twitter against Bethesda. He is upset that in Starfield , players can choose the preferred pronouns of their character during character creation. He says it ruins the whole immersion, claiming that with this ideology, Bethesda is ruining his fun. The speech lasts 2:37 minutes and is going viral.
Who is this?
He is a British YouTuber who is active on the channel “Heel vs Babyface” on YouTube and Twitter. Both are terms from wrestling: a Heel is a “bad wrestler”, and “Face” is a fan favorite.
The Brit mainly streams on YouTube, where he has 339,000 subscribers. He has already completed 5 live streams on Starfield.
One of his rage speeches recently went viral on Twitter, also because some well-known Twitch streamers like HasanAbi commented critically on it.

Starfield – Official Gameplay Trailer
Brit reacts due to pronouns in Starfield
What is the man upset about? A detail makes the streamer explode: In Starfield, players can determine their character’s “pronouns.”
In previous games, players decided the gender of their character through appearance and body shape. In Starfield, players can play with a male-coded body shape but assign female pronouns to that character.
Streamer claims Bethesda ruins escapism for him with their agenda
What the streamer says: He says he loves nothing more than to sit in a comfortable chair in front of his PC and start a new role-playing game. He falls completely into this foreign world, dreaming of visiting planets, thoroughly immersed in the game.
But Bethesda has ruined his experience by bringing contemporary issues into this fantasy world.
In a raging speech, he almost yells into the camera for 2 minutes, expressing his anger that Bethesda, with their “ideology,” ruins all immersion and ultimately the game for him.
How is this being discussed? The clip of the streamer has gone viral across various sources on Twitter and is currently one of the biggest topics of conversation there.
Critics like HasanAbi can only shake their heads at it. The Twitch streamer suggests that the man should be surgically tranquilized through a brain operation. He should rather be upset that the menus and maps are not optimized (via twitter).
Others lament that precisely such appearances get so much attention while calmer, deeper discussions fall on deaf ears (via twitter).
The German influencer, Maurice Weber, speaks of “eternally backward” people who find games like Starfield too woke, even though the success of the games proves otherwise (via twitter).
However, there are also some who agree with the Brit and find it disturbing to be confronted with things like “pronouns” in a sci-fi universe.
The topic of “pronouns” is currently becoming a political issue in the English-speaking world:
The 21-year-old Austrian David “aqua” Wang was already at the peak of success at 17: He won $1.5 million at the World Championship in Fortnite when he became World Champion in Duo. In recent years, he added several hundred thousand euros. Now, at 21, he casually announces that he is done with eSports in Fortnite.
In an interview with heute.at, he said he did not yet know what he would do with all the money: First, he wanted to finish his driver’s license and buy a car.
About his victory, he said: It was about shutting out the whole atmosphere and excitement in the stadium and concentrating entirely on winning.

After the World Championship, there were more victories, then the prize money dried up
What happened next? After 2019, Fortnite never held such a big “live event” as the World Championship again. As a result, during the Corona pandemic, Epic continued to downscale eSports, focusing on online tournaments in individual regions and for the various platforms instead of a grand spectacle in New York.
However, even in these online tournaments, Wang was at the forefront:
In 2019, he won $160,000 at the FNCS: Season X Finale
In 2022, he secured another $150,000 in the FNCS: Chapter 3 Season 2 Finale
Earnings dropped from $1.8 million to $940 a year
But in 2023, he has only earned $941 in prize money so far. That’s nothing compared to the $1.8 million he earned alone in 2019.
Since May 2022, aqua has only achieved smaller successes in tournaments, placing somewhere around 26th and taking home $300 (via esportearnings).
This is how he now announces his career’s end: With a brief Twitter post on September 3, it was over: He says he is quitting Fortnite, without any further information.

Furthermore, Fortnite is extremely dynamic; the conditions are constantly changing. It is hard to “stay at the top,” especially since many young talents are pushing in
Ultimately, Fortnite was never an acknowledged eSports title like CS:GO, LoL, or Valorant. It was never designed as an eSports title with its “every man for himself” format. Even regarding the competitive integrity of the World Championship, there were some doubts afterwards: It is rumored that the winners had reached agreements on running paths with a shared coach to increase their chances of winning.
Many are drawn to “real” eSports titles like Valorant
As early as 2020, one of the big winners of the Fortnite World Championship had already switched from Fortnite to the new cool competition:
The animated videos about League of Legends are very popular and often watched for a reason. MeinMMO author Linda has now dealt with them for the first time and has put together a small list for you.
Why videos about League of Legends? To be honest, I never really cared much about League of Legends. Of course, I know a little about the game, but my knowledge goes no further than what one picks up here and there on the internet.
Ever since my youth, various friends have been nagging me about how great LoL is and that I should give it a try. However, the images I saw from the gameplay never really grabbed me, which is why I never delved further into the game.
Through my work for MeinMMO, I ultimately stumbled upon some animated, official videos that piqued my interest and excited me in different ways. Above all, I was surprised at how much lore seems to be packed in League of Legends.
I didn’t expect so many different characters and especially settings when I clicked through the various videos.
Whether I will dive into League of Legends and maybe find something I enjoy in the gameplay, I don’t know. But the following videos have definitely made me take a closer look now.
1. League of Legends “Warriors” Season 2020
Start video
LoL Warriors Season 2020
The animated video for Season 2020 is, to be honest, exactly what I imagined videos about League of Legends would be: a lot of fantasy and combat. Content-wise, it didn’t really surprise me, but it did convince me.
The version of the song “Warriors” used here is beautiful and sets a perfect mood that makes me empathize with the characters, even though I have no idea who I’m watching.
The video and the song, in my opinion, simply go perfectly together, and you can really see how much thought the producers put into it.
2. Shadow of the Doubt – Star Guardian 2022
Start video
LoL Star Guardian 2022
In contrast to the first video, this one surprised me quite a bit.
The setting has something of a dark “Magical Girl” and honestly feels like an anime I would watch. I really liked the fight the character had with “herself” and the animations are beautifully done.
All in all, what convinced me about the video is that it’s completely different from everything I always imagined about League of Legends. And this sparked my interest in finding out how these “Magical Girls” fit into the world of League of Legends.
3. The Curse of the sad Mummy
Start video
LoL The Curse of the Sad Mummy
As I clicked through the videos, I least expected to almost cry. This little mummy definitely managed to do that with the music video.
The story the video tells is simply sad. The little, lonely mummy sets out on a journey to finally find friends. I was hoping all along that she would at least find one friend at the end, but I was painfully disappointed.
Probably, with a title like “The Curse of the sad Mummy,” I shouldn’t have expected anything else, but I hoped nonetheless. The despair of the little mummy already somewhat broke my heart, and then learning in the comments under the video that the curse is to blame for everything didn’t help at all.
Getting past Jinx was probably completely impossible in recent years for good reason. And I think for good reason. Jinx definitely seems to be a fun character, and after this short music video, I can already understand the hype around her.
She gives off a certain “Harley Quinn” energy at least in the video, and I personally quite like that. And even though she only seems wacky and chaotic in the video, loving explosions and gunfights, it seems in a subtle way that there is much more behind her character.
Getting to know Jinx and her story better is definitely now at the top of my “to-do list.”

The last video especially impressed me with the music.
I’m a fan of the Chinese singer Jackson Wang myself and didn’t even realize he made a song for League of Legends. So I was a bit pleased to stumble upon a video with his music.
Furthermore, I find the whole video very well made, with the colors and effects used here. The video has a very small and short storyline, but it is well-written nonetheless.
Are there League of Legends videos that truly amazed you or even convinced you of the game? Feel free to write it in the comments.

Bloodlines 2 is the continuation of the popular role-playing game Vampire: The Masquerade, which was originally released in 2004. Now, 20 years later, the developers want to impress again with vampire action and show the first gameplay in the trailer. Fans are excited about this, but they also wish for more.
What is it about? In Bloodlines 2, you will fight your way through modern Seattle as an ancient vampire ancestor, dealing not only with her voice in your head.
As a vampire, blood is your main source of nourishment, and you must obtain it discreetly. At night, you lure your victims into the dark alleys of the metropolis and take their blood.
Just make sure not to get caught. Because once your masquerade falls, it’s not just the police on your tail.
Additionally, Seattle is on the brink of open war, and you will have to decide who should rule the city and what will become of it.

Bloodlines 2 Gameplay Trailer
What does the trailer show? The trailer primarily showcases the combat mechanics you can expect in this first-person game. You can see the character knocking out enemies with quick punches or using shockwaves to throw them to the ground.
There is also a kind of “blood attack” demonstrated. The blood lashes out at your enemies almost like a whip and knocks them down.
The trailer also gives you a glimpse into the dark and less pleasant corners of Seattle, effectively building the entire atmosphere of the “underworld of a metropolis”.
What do players say about the experience? Players are excited about the beautiful gameplay they see but wish to see a bit more from the game, as is evident in the comments on Youtube.
Jestergodfield690 writes that they now want to see what the first part was known for: role-playing decisions and great dialogues.
Many of the remaining commentators feel the same way.
The hope is that the second part will possess the same charm as its predecessor. Whether this will be fulfilled, however, will probably only be shown in future trailers and announcements.

In Starfield, you have a wide selection of companions that you can take with you on your journey. What companions are, how many are available, and how to obtain them will be explained in our overview.
What are companions? As the name suggests, companions are computer-controlled characters in Starfield that can accompany you on your travels.
Primarily, they help you in combat and provide additional firepower. They can also assist with your carrying capacity by taking items off your hands and storing them.
How many companions are there? Bethesda itself talked in an interview about the multitude of companions available in Starfield. It was mentioned that there are over 20 named characters who can follow you, assist in combat, and carry your load.
In our list, we categorize the companions into three categories:
Now we go into detail and show you which companions exist, what their names are, and what you need to do to hire them.

Currently, more and more leaks about the players in EA Sports FC 24 are emerging, and FC Bayern Munich is involved. How strong will the German record champions be?
Where do the ratings come from? The cards we are showing you here are leaks that currently appear on the Twitter account “Fut Scoreboard“. The well-known FUT leaker has been publishing numerous ratings for days, showing how strong the players could be.
However, it must be noted that these are not ratings officially confirmed by EA. They are still pending, but should be released soon.

FC 24: Many downgrades and a major upgrade in ratings for Bayern
According to the leaks, the following overall ratings emerge:
Kane: 90 – previously 89
Kimmich: 88 – previously 89
Neuer: 87 – previously 90
Musiala: 86 – previously 81
De Ligt: 86 – previously 85
Coman: 85 – previously 86
Goretzka: 85 – previously 87
Müller: 84 – previously 87
Gnabry: 84 – previously 85
Sané: 84 – previously 84
Kim Min Jae: 84 – previously 79
Davies: 83 – previously 84
Guerreiro: 82 – previously 82
Upamecano: 82 – previously 81
If you take a close look at the ratings, it quickly becomes clear that downgrades dominate for the current German champions. The values for Kimmich, De Ligt, Davies, Coman, and Gnabry drop by one point. According to the leaks, Manuel Neuer and Thomas Müller are said to drop by 3 points, and Goretzka by 2.
However, there are still winners. Kane is expected to improve by one point in the overall rating, and Jamal Musiala makes an enormous leap from 81 to 86, which could give him a really strong card. Also, new signing Kim Min Jae is said to become 5 overall points stronger according to leaks.
For the release of Diablo 4, a total of five classes are playable. Theoretically, it would be possible for more classes to be added throughout the seasons. For Season 2, a class from Diablo Immortal would be a great fit. However, Blizzard has already confirmed that this class will not be coming to Diablo 4.
Which class is it about? Season 2 thematically revolves around vampires and their insatiable thirst. Therefore, it would be fitting if the Blood Knight from Diablo Immortal would come as a new class to the game.
The Blood Knight is a mix of Paladin/Crusader and vampire. He can shift between a human and beast form, just like the Druid.
He uses blood magic and close combat to shred enemies.
The class has only been available in Diablo Immortal since July 13, 2023, making it the first new class in over nine years.
The Blood Knight would fit well into Season 2 of Diablo 4 for several reasons. So far, it has not been announced that there will be a new class in Season 2. Nevertheless, there was hope that the Blood Knight would enter the game due to its theme.
However, the General Manager of the Diablo universe, Rod Fergusson, recently dispelled this assumption. In an interview with 4players, he revealed that the overlap of the vampire themes is purely coincidental:
Diablo 4 and Diablo Immortal are two very different games with two very different teams and two different technologies. So it’s more of a coincidence that the team had this kind of vampire. It has somehow aligned over time. But no, the Blood Knight will not appear in Diablo 4.
This means that not only will the Blood Knight not be part of Season 2 in Diablo 4. Even worse, Fergusson’s statement suggests that the Blood Knight might not even find his way into the game with future updates. Thus, the Vampire Knight remains a mobile-exclusive class.
The following video on MeinMMO presents the new season:

The Paladin has been around since Diablo 2 and would be a good addition to the existing five classes. There are even some hints that the class might make it after Diablo 4.
Other conceivable classes could include the Monk, the Witch Doctor, or the Amazon. Blizzard has already indicated that more classes will follow, but probably only with later expansions. Accordingly, the seasons are likely to proceed without new classes.
The YouTuber and former Twitch streamer DrDisrespect says he offered Bethesda a collaboration on the SF role-playing game Starfield twice. But they strictly declined. Now he also understands why. He apparently categorizes Pete Hines, the head of Bethesda, as politically “woke”.
Who is DrDisrespect?
Guy Beahm was one of the most successful Twitch streamers for many years. The former Call of Duty developer is a gifted entertainer who plays a character: In this role, he mourns his past youth, in which he was able to win two video game championships in a row.
DrDisrespect was a celebrity on Twitch – His ban remains a big mystery to this day
“Due to past controversies, there’s no way we can collaborate with DrDisrespect”
This is what he says now about Starfield: DrDisrespect said in a stream on September 1 (via youtube) that he and his team had inquired with Bethesda twice about a collaboration on Starfield:
Once, if they could do something together for Starfield – anything?
A second time, if he could at least play the game with some others
Both times the request was declined by Bethesda. They didn’t even give him early access to the game. The response was: “Due to past controversies, there’s no way we can collaborate with DrDisrespect.”
However, the influencer apparently didn’t understand why the collaboration didn’t come about.
What did DrDisrespect think it was about? DrDisrespect looked at Pete Hines’s Twitter profile in the stream and read there the pronouns he would like to be addressed by: he/him.
For DrDisrespect, it was thus clear why Bethesda didn’t want to collaborate with him:
“He/him. Understood. Okay, now everything starts to make sense. Everything makes sense now. Got it.”
What does he mean by that? DrDisrespect obviously believes that those who indicate their pronouns on Twitter belong to a group of people who place value on “political correctness.”

DrDisrespect seems to believe that for these people who are “politically woke,” he is a person one would not want to collaborate with. He seems to see himself politically in a different spectrum.
Starfield may not be the masterpiece some fans hoped for from the first new game universe of Bethesda Studios in 25 years. However, MeinMMO author Maik Schneider and some fans explain why this sci-fi RPG is still a hit.
My Starfield story began back in 2008. I got my hands on the GOTY version of The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion and squeezed the game on the PS3 for every last drop of content. Ok … a friend played many of the dimension portals for me. They were too scary for me.
To this day, hundreds of hours of Elder Scrolls and Fallout have added up. As a sci-fi and space fan, Starfield was somehow the fulfillment of a dream. Accordingly, I was very excited about the game.
After the first few hours, I want to present you with a little conclusion, along with some comments from the community who had the exact same experience as I did: If you have fun in the first few hours, then Starfield is just your thing!

7 gameplay highlights from Starfield that you should know about
Starfield has an acceleration like ketchup
What does that mean? Starfield is, at its core, a game from Bethesda Game Studios. There is:
… more to explore than one can see
… more to collect than the inventory can hold
… more dialogue lines than we will ever hear
However, right after the tutorial mission, we do not find ourselves on a large, cohesive map like in Fallout or The Elder Scrolls. Starfield offers a whole universe with 1,000 more or less exciting planets.
Unlike Skyrim, we don’t see dragons right from the start and we are immediately in the story. It isn’t like Fallout, where there are usually dungeons ready to explore or wasteland survivors waiting for solutions to their problems right after leaving the vault.
Although you can fly in all directions relatively early, Starfield signals to the player to follow the story first. And that can take a while.
At that point, here’s my conclusion: Even though the introduction progresses at ketchup speed – I was immediately captivated.
The familiar feeling of enthusiasm and freedom, for which I appreciate Bethesda games, was immediately back. When I was allowed to collect my first crate of purple glowing loot, my mouth corners turned up. Of course, I first had to clean up my inventory to empty the crate.
At that moment, the game wasn’t really starting yet; I even had introductory missions in the log.
Starfield has its flaws, is far from perfect, sometimes a bit slow, and certainly not an action fireworks display. But it’s a loving adventure that will enrich my coming weeks.
So my advice to all aspiring space travelers: If you like the game feel of the first hours, then you are exactly right with Starfield. If you found the beginning somewhat appealing, then stick with it.
What do players say about it? A large thread has formed on the discussion platform Reddit on this topic (via reddit.com). Over 650 comments express and discuss first impressions of Starfield, and many players apparently had a similar experience to mine.
The thread creator even draws a comparison to Skyrim: “It feels like I’m playing Skyrim for the first time like back in 2011.” The comment with the most upvotes explains that he spent a full 3 hours on the tutorial moon because he wanted to scan everything right away.
Often there is the note that it’s not a “space sim”. That’s a problem because some players expected exactly that. The space gameplay, however, is rather meager, which is often criticized in the thread. Players of Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen are in the wrong place here.
It’s a typical Bethesda game. “Skyrim in space,” although current comparisons see it more as “Fallout 4 in space.” If you are looking for that kind of experience, then try Starfield.
User “Open-Let-1014” sums it up for some players: “Ok, I’m 12 hours in and I love it. I have only scratched the surface so far. There’s an overwhelming amount to do. Disappointed with space travel, but everything else is top-notch – we’ll see you out there, space cowboys!!!”
In an interview, Pete Hines, the head of Bethesda, explains what makes the Game Pass so good. After all, the role-playing game Starfield is not coming to PlayStation 5. Are there any concerns about lower sales numbers?
What’s happening with Starfield? For a few days now, owners can already dive into the new space role-playing game from Bethesda through Early Access. The official release for all players without early access will take place on Wednesday, September 6, 2023. However, the game is only being released for Xbox Series X|S and PC. No release is planned for PS4 and PS5.
JeuxVideo conducted an interview with Pete Hines, Head of Publishing at Bethesda Softworks, during gamescom 2023. They asked if there are worries about the sales numbers.
What does Pete Hines say? In the interview, he is asked if he is worried about the game’s sales numbers because it is not being released for PlayStation 5. He responds:
In the USA, the Game Pass Ultimate costs 17 dollars (about 15 euros in Germany). For 17 dollars, you can connect a controller to Samsung TVs and play Starfield without owning a console. The Game Pass drives me crazy! I’m an old man; I was born when there were no video games, no consoles, no PCs, no mobile phones. The fact that you don’t even need a console to play the biggest Bethesda game ever made on Xbox is an incredible level of accessibility.
You can play it on anything that can run a browser. I tested it with a Kindle Fire, a phone. You click on Link Cloud and play Starfield. So if you’re a PlayStation player, you won’t be playing on your PlayStation, of course.
PlayStation players, on the other hand, can play the entire Xbox Game Pass catalog for 17 US dollars per month, which is not insignificant. They can play Starfield, Forza, and everything else they want. They can play at home or at work, thanks to the browser-based cloud. (…) That’s strange for us because throughout our entire existence, we’ve been asked to pay full price to play our games. There were no subscriptions. But now we like it. We are building an audience.
However, it almost turned out very differently, and PC and Xbox players would have found the disadvantage on their side. Xbox head Phil Spencer explained that Starfield almost became an exclusive title for PS5. Supposedly, Sony was already negotiating a deal. But then Microsoft stepped in.
On which platform are you playing Starfield? Are you also using the cloud technology of the Game Pass for it?

The head of Blizzard has commented on the next expansion of World of Warcraft. Just two words – but they have sparked a lot of discussion.
The next expansion of World of Warcraft is highly anticipated. After Shadowlands was generally considered the low point of WoW, things noticeably improved with Dragonflight. The next addon is expected to continue this positive trend and show that Blizzard has really understood what players want.
As usual, there are already many ideas, speculations, and supposed leaks giving hints about the next expansion. Now, Blizzard president Mike Ybarra has made a statement on X (formerly Twitter) regarding the next expansion. With just two words, he has dispelled many theories – and fueled some even more.
What was said? Mr. Dave addressed the general theme of the next WoW expansion in a tweet. He believes that the discussion is sometimes conducted with some misunderstanding about what players actually want when they talk about a “Return to Azeroth.”
Many people do not understand what others mean by a “Return to Azeroth.”
People want a RETURN to the OLD PLACES in AZEROTH. Mainly to rediscover the two places that made them love this game.
They don’t want pirates. They want the World of Warcraft.

The tweet has garnered quite a bit of attention and even reached Mike Ybarra, the president of Blizzard Entertainment. He only wrote two short words in response:
These conclusions are drawn: So far, there have mainly been three major theories about how World of Warcraft can progress. A “South Sea” expansion, themed with pirates, was the first option.
The next theory is the visit to the previously unknown continent “Avaloren.” This is a continent or island on the other side of Azeroth. There could still be an old god here. This place is also interesting because the Titans have deliberately kept this place hidden and denied its existence, as they want to keep something secret from the mortals.
The third theory is that the great war between “Light and Void” is finally beginning. There were already hints of this in patch 10.1.5, as Iridikron allied with the Void, and he was seen alongside Xal’atath. This could also call other characters, such as Queen Azshara, into play.
However, there is also the theory that Mike Ybarra is indirectly lying a little. While it may not be about “pirates,” it could very well be about seafarers exploring the other side of Azeroth.
Some see something completely different in Ybarra’s words. The fact that the Blizzard head responds to a tweet about players wanting to return to the “old areas” is seen by some as confirmation that exactly that will happen: a revamp of World of Warcraft, where many old areas will shine in new glory and the time since “Cataclysm” will finally progress.
However, it will likely take a few weeks before we know for sure. The BlizzCon in early November will provide clarity on this, unless there are no promising and credible leaks before then.
What are you hoping for from the next WoW expansion? Would you have liked to see an expansion with pirates?
