Not long now, and the Early Access of Starfield is going to start, and the leaks about the RPG are already making their rounds. Some players on Reddit are mocking that not everyone knows how to categorize certain information from the game.
Information about the new Bethesda RPG Starfield is now to be taken with caution just before the release. There are a lot of frustrated PlayStation players venting about the PC and Xbox exclusive title. In addition, there is a ton of unconfirmed leaks circulating, as many content creators are already playing a preview version.
One of the bigger topics last week was the planet explorations. It was discussed that exploration may not be as extensive as previously announced. However, this has not been confirmed and there are also dissenting voices.
A user on Twitter complained that one cannot land on or explore gas giants. In our solar system, Jupiter and Saturn are considered gas giants, perhaps Neptune and Uranus as well – though they are often classified as ice giants today.
The user’s statement led to a huge thread on Reddit, as Sci-Fi fans simply do not expect that one can land on a gas giant. One might as well navigate to the sun.
What else you can do in Starfield, you can find out in the video:

7 gameplay highlights from Starfield that you should know about
The thread originated after a user tweeted: “You can’t go to these ‘planets’ because exploration is a lie. Jesus, it’s getting worse.” Along with pictures of a gas giant from Starfield. You can view the tweet in the Reddit thread (via reddit.com).
On Reddit, the statement is met with complete incomprehension.
The comment with the most upvotes is typically sarcastic for Reddit: “You want to tell me that you can’t explore the sun?” Another user writes: “You just have to do it in the middle of the night.”
The first Star Trek reference doesn’t take long to appear: “Or, even better: Do it like Captain Kirk – fly very fast around the sun. However, you might find yourself stuck in the 80s after a time travel.”
Why can’t you land on gas giants?
Unlike the rocky planets of our solar system – Mercury, Earth, Venus, Mars – gas giants do not have a proper surface to land on (via nasa.com). You would simply fly deeper into the inhospitable atmosphere, increasing the pressure on the ship’s systems until the material gives way.
However, there are also explanations that even Sci-Fi has its limits – especially when the stories do not take place thousands of years in the future, but only hundreds. Starfield is set in the year 2330, in which Pluto, by the way, is again counted among the planets.
Here, Starfield enthusiasts clash with critics’ statements; the mood is quite “salty”. Some users claim to have checked the account of the user with the gas giant statement and call him a frustrated “PlayStation fanboy” who is just attacking Xbox.
Just recently, Star Citizen broke a new record in crowdfunding. Fans have invested over 600 million dollars into the game so far. However, a supposed former developer, who claims to have worked at the studio for 7 years, has now spoken out. He praises the game and his colleagues, but criticizes the management’s handling of money.
What exactly does the developer say? The Reddit user Ryden-55 claims he initially financially supported Star Citizen and was later hired as a developer. After 7 years, he allegedly was laid off this year – despite the fact that the sci-fi MMORPG earned over 60 million dollars in the past 6 months alone.
For comparison:
Guild Wars 2 generated 71 million dollars in revenue in 2022 – in a year with an expansion and Steam release.
Star Citizen can thus keep up well with already established titles purely from its earnings.
The developer also has an explanation of where all the money is flowing, namely into the new headquarters in Manchester:
In my opinion, the company has invested too much in the newly built office in Manchester. They are more concerned about wall decoration than about investing in additional staff.
Space-MMO Star Citizen shows an event that looks more like Halo and Battlefield – This is Siege of Orison
Developers are being laid off, even though they should prioritize saving on office furnishings
What else does the former developer say? In his thread, he emphasizes multiple times that the developers at CIG are very talented and have some revolutionary ideas. He remains a fan of Star Citizen. However, the wasteful handling of money bothers him.
It’s fantastic to enter [the headquarters]. But once I learned that I was laid off, I saw everything in a different light. Some of the artwork matched my salary or even that of several people.
If you look at the costs for office furniture (furniture, not hardware), you could pay someone with two furnishings. TWO. There are a large number of offices, and when I heard that a hiring freeze was imposed and then layoffs occurred, I felt compelled to speak out.
However, the problems do not only lie in the waste of money, but also in the way money is earned.
What does he say about the future of the game? He sees it rather critically. The studio must constantly generate new money; otherwise, they won’t be able to stay afloat for long. Generally, he is astonished at how easily people are motivated to spend money, especially when there are discount promotions.
He personally will no longer support Star Citizen for the time being, also because many promises have not been kept:
I will not spend a cent until the game is fully delivered. I have become a concierge supporter over a period of 5 years [which requires spending at least 1,000 euros], but I do not want to play the game in its current form, which pains me because I want it to succeed.
However, I will not repeatedly test a product that should have been released by this point.
At the end of his post, he emphasizes again that he wishes the game and his former colleagues all the best, but hopes that players will “vote with their wallets” more strongly in the future. He also hopes that his post does not incite hatred towards CIG and the employees, but he just wanted to share his perspective on the development of the game.
Star Citizen officially released in 2016 in Early Access, but important features are missing
How has the development gone so far? Star Citizen received 2.1 million dollars through Kickstarter in 2013 and promised a release in 2014. However, over the years, the budget, team, and vision for the project grew. To this day, there is no release date.
However, since 2016, there has been a playable version referred to as “Early Access”. There is a major patch quarterly.
But players have been waiting in vain for years for important contents, such as the solo campaign Squadron 42. So far, it still feels unfinished in many places. A release seems unrealistic in the coming years.
What do you think about Star Citizen and the current development progress? Can you still wait a few years, or are you also disappointed that there is still no finished version?
The first leaks about the new ratings in EA FC 24 are here. YouTube star IShowSpeed, a confessed Ronaldo fanboy, hits his idol’s overall rating hard.
What rating does Cristiano Ronaldo have according to leaks in EA FC 24? The Portuguese superstar could be as bad as he has been in 20 years. His leaked rating of 86 in FC 24 is only surpassed by his overall rating of 80 in FIFA 04. In this 20-year-old FIFA edition, the Portuguese made his debut and could already impress with an overall rating of 88 in FIFA 05.
After his infamous departure from his beloved club Manchester United and the associated move to the Saudi Pro League, Ronaldo has somewhat disappeared from the limelight. The fact that he can no longer showcase his talents on the big European stage, combined with his age of 38, has likely prompted EA to give CR7 a significant downgrade.
This does not sit well with YouTube star IShowSpeed.
YouTube star is outraged by the new Ronaldo rating
What happened? In a live reaction, the well-known YouTuber IShowSpeed saw his idol Cristiano Ronaldo’s new rating in FC 24 for the first time. A reaction was not long in coming.
You can see his reaction in the video. He keeps saying: ‘This is absolutely disgusting. This is absolutely disgusting.’

Initially, IShowSpeed couldn’t say much as it visibly turned his stomach after his first glance at the ratings. After he also informed his viewers that he had unwanted guests in his mouth, he lashed out against the rating.
What makes the leak particularly explosive: The leaked card of Cristiano Ronaldo stands in direct comparison to the rating of his fiercest rival Lionel Messi.
Leaks for FC 24: Messi also receives a downgrade
What rating has been leaked for Messi? In contrast to eternal rival Ronaldo, Messi might only receive a moderate downgrade to 90, only a -1 overall. CR7, on the other hand, is likely to drop four levels and apparently goes from a 90 rating in FIFA 23 to an 86 rating in FC 24.
After his World Cup title last year, Messi has left arch-rival Ronaldo behind in the football simulation and temporarily decides the goat debate (Greatest of all time) in his favor.
You can see how strong the two superstars were at their peak in the following cards of Messi and Ronaldo.

Further leaks show strong upgrades for Real stars and Napoli strikers
What other ratings have already been leaked? On the account of leaker and trading expert Donk, a large number of other ratings for FC 24 have been published and at least confirmed by him.
Especially the Real stars Vinicius Junior and Federico Valverde stand out with their strong new ratings. Wing player Vinicius is likely to have a rating of 89 (+3 from FIFA 23) in FC 24, and Valverde is reportedly making a three-level jump to an overall rating of 87.
However, the standout upgrade is that of last season’s shooting star, Victor Osimhen. The Nigerian striker is climbing five levels up and is likely to present himself in FC 24 with a rating of 88.
You can see what other leaks are known to us so far in the list below.
Here you can see the complete list of the previously leaked ratings for FC 24: (via Donktrading)
Salah 89
Rodri 89
Vinicius Jr 89

In addition to the already discussed rating winners from Real Madrid and SSC Napoli, we also find many world champions from Argentina who can expect an upgrade in FC 24.
Among the leaks, two female footballers, the Englishwoman Smith and the Frenchwoman Katoto, have already mixed in. The blending of men and women will likely be one of the most striking innovations in Ultimate Team.
At an auction of various pieces of Apple’s history, an old check worth $116 was sold. A buyer valued the check from 1976, signed by Apple founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, at $135,000.
Steve Jobs is still considered a great visionary and influential figure in the IT world more than 10 years after his death. His decisions have significantly shaped Apple’s products and brand. The iPhone, as his legacy, remains a best-seller.
The name Steve Jobs is irrevocably tied to the history of Apple.
Apple Relics from the Early Days
What is the deal with the check? Dated 1976, issued by Steve Jobs and personally signed by Steve Wozniak, this coveted item already had an immeasurable value for Apple fans.
What made it even more interesting was the fact that the two Apple founders apparently purchased components from the company “Ramlor Inc.” with this check. It is assumed that the acquired circuit boards were used to produce their first Apple-1 computer. This was a fundamental event in Apple’s history and thus laid the foundation for the company founded by Jobs.
Were there other Apple items at the auction? At the auction, potential buyers not only had the opportunity to bid on the aforementioned check. Technical innovations such as an original sealed iPhone and a functional Apple-1 computer were also among the offerings.
Once again, the opportunity arose to delve into the beginnings of Steve Jobs and secure a piece of Apple history.
Steve Jobs is Still Relevant Today
Technological devices and documents from Apple’s early days are consequently highly sought-after collectibles. Thus, it is not surprising that such auctions attract many interested buyers and reach record sums.
Apple is also aware of this. Since Jobs’ passing, his office has remained untouched and unchanged. Very few people have entered this room since, including current Apple CEO Tim Cook, as well as Jobs’ surviving wife and daughter.
The German developer Realmforge Studios has announced the release date for the fourth part of their dungeon management series. “Dungeons 4” will be released on November 9 of this year and is especially at the top of the list for fans of the series.
What is Dungeons 4? In this game, you build your own dungeon and command the evil creatures that inhabit it.
To dominate your creatures, you must fulfill their needs. Therefore, build the appropriate rooms in your dungeon and manage your troops so that everyone is satisfied.
Because only then can you send your creatures to the overworld to really kick the “good guys” in the backside and expand your rule.
Start video
Dungeons 4 Trailer
What does the trailer show? The displayed gameplay is strongly reminiscent of the classic “Dungeon Keeper”, with better and more colorful graphics.
You can see ogres and goblins tearing down walls in your dungeon to create new rooms. These can be divided into small squares, allowing you to determine the shape and size of the individual rooms. Then use these rooms to meet the creatures’ needs by, for example, using them as sleeping quarters or dining rooms.
Your dungeon also needs training rooms to strengthen your troops and prepare them for battle. Because as seen in the trailer, your dungeon is not a safe fortress if you don’t take care of it yourself. Protect yourself with various and properly placed traps from the attacks of the overworld dwellers.
The trailer gives you only a shorter glimpse into the design of your dungeon and then focuses on the dynamic overworld, which seems to be playable in this part.
In the overworld, you fight battles against “the good” and conquer them piece by piece. In the trailer, you see your creatures going after knights, unicorns, and defenseless citizens, setting market stalls on fire and taking fortresses.
When is it coming out? Dungeons 4 will be released on November 9 for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5.

A player thought several steps ahead when he faced the final boss in Act 2 of Baldur’s Gate 3. But thanks to his trick, he was able to defeat the end boss with just one hit. MeinMMO reveals how he did it.
Attention, Spoilers:The article contains images of the end boss from Act 2. If you don’t want to be spoiled, you should skip the Reddit post.
How does the trick work? The player initially pretended to be a generous benefactor. He used an unseen pickpocket trick, but in reverse. He didn’t steal money from the end boss; instead, he gave him a whopping sum of 15,000 gold.
In the fight, he then used a special morning star called “Twist of Fortune,” which has a special addition. With the help of “Blood Money,” he was able to kill the opponent with a single blow.
“Blood Money” ensures that for every 300 gold, an additional 3 piercing damage is dealt. This means an extra damage of 150 on top of the base damage of the weapon and the “Cull the Weak” ability. The latter ability dealt an additional 1-4 damage for every attack from “Blood Money,” meaning per 300 gold. “Cull the Weak” appeared to be a bit buggy, as it was triggered multiple times – long before the critical threshold was actually reached.
The guide with all the individual steps was uploaded by the user in the Reddit forum:

How much damage does the attack deal? A user calculates that the attacker achieved an approximate attack value of 260 with a single strike. Since the opponent has fewer hit points, he was immediately killed. Thus, the player could avoid the tough boss fight. Respect!
The individual damage per 300 gold created a huge fireworks display on the screen. In the last images, it can be seen that the opponent left with a grand effect storm.

5 helpful tips for Baldur’s Gate 3
Where do I get the weapon? The weapon you need for this trick can be found right at the beginning of Act 2. It feels darker compared to Act 1, but equips us with an extremely strong weapon.
You obtain the weapon after defeating Gerringothe Thorm in the customs house of Reithwin. The tough opponent looks like a mix between a sumo wrestler and a Buddha statue and demands all your gold. No wonder a weapon with such an effect is in its possession.
In the comments, many players express their enthusiasm for this trick, as they were not aware of it themselves. One user notes that there are other items that deal extra damage and can be combined with the mentioned method.
At the end of the fight, the clever player was able to collect his gold again. Lucky him!
There is another strategy to defeat opponents with just one blow. However, you need to have a druid on your team who can then transform into an owlbear.
“Null Sequence” is a survival game set in a post-apocalyptic open world. In this co-op adventure, you fight for the survival of humanity with 1 – 4 players. Mobile fortresses are at the center of it.
When will it be released? An exact release date is not known. However, you can already add the game to your wishlist on Steam.
The world of “Null Sequence”: It is the 22nd century and artificial intelligence has rapidly developed. A catastrophe erupts when the AI builds a humanoid army and devises a plan for the eradication of humanity.
The plan, called [Null Sequence], made the world almost uninhabitable and caused the human population to shrink by 99%.

Null Sequenz Erster Trailer
Only a few people who were sleeping on a spaceship survived and returned to Earth.
You are one of those people.
What does the trailer show? The trailer gives you a first glimpse into the world of “Null Sequence”.
There are desert areas everywhere and very few resources. Here and there, you can spot a few groups of trees that you could fell to establish your base.
S.A.I.C is an army of humanoid robots that, as seen in the trailer, are individually designed and equipped.
The first weapon introduced is a self-built crossbow equipped with a scope.
Initial reactions on Youtube are positive. User RelaxoStyle, for example, believes it has the potential to become a favorite game for many gamers.
The following core aspects of gameplay also stand out from the trailer:
“Titan Walker”: These mobile fortresses will be an important point for survival. They serve not only for movement but also as a base for you and your teammates. Build them freely according to your ideas and needs.
Fights: You fight against the humanoid army of the artificial intelligence. Use the realistic reactions of the elements and self-built weapons for this.
Since “Null Sequence” is still in Kickstarter, we can surely expect even more information about the general gameplay in the future.

In a major update to the community, the developers of Baldur’s Gate 3 address some issues. Also in focus is the bug-plagued Act 3.
What is the problem? Right at launch, there was a lot of hype around the game. On day 1, Baldur’s Gate 3 was the second largest game on Steam. However, with the large number of players, it quickly became clear what problems exist. The third act of the game is full of bugs and issues that lead to negative experiences for players.
The developers at Larian Studios hear the complaints and provide an outlook in a major update on what will change and how soon that will happen.
Developers on Act 3 of Baldur’s Gate 3
What do the developers say? With the major Patch 2 for Baldur’s Gate, some issues and requests raised by players in the community will be addressed. Specifically on this topic, the team explains:
We know that performance in Act 3 is not as good as that of the first two acts, but the good news is that Patch 2 brings significant performance improvements for the entire game, but especially for Act 3, where you will feel it the most. We will also be working on improving performance in Act 3 with new technology throughout September, whose release took somewhat longer than we expected.
[…]We have read your reports about Act 3 and are just as frustrated as you are about the bugs that affect the gaming experience. That’s why we are working to fix these quickly. And as you have noticed with our hotfix and patch rollout, we are quite fast at it.
Patch 2 is supposed to address some of the larger issues, including those in Act 3.
The bugs also affect the dialogues. Sometimes you can only select certain responses because the choice option does not work.
So far, many have advised simply to wait. And for those who have had patience so far, they can soon look forward to it, as Patch 2 seems to be just around the corner. Did you also experience such issues in Act 3?
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Baldur’s Gate 3 aims to enhance the ending attractively, as it has received criticism. Here, the developers are making improvements and promise a new fate for Karlach.
The companions in Baldur’s Gate 3 are among the highlights of the game. It is all the more painful when, despite the best efforts, one cannot achieve a worthy ending for the comrades. This is especially a major point of criticism from the community in the case of the Tiefling Karlach.
However, with the next patch, the developers want to make improvements and promise: She will get the ending she deserves.
Spoiler Warning: The article contains details about the story of the companion Karlach.

The best class for beginners in Baldur’s Gate 3
What is the problem with Karlach? The companions in Baldur’s Gate 3 have different endings depending on the choices you make. Almost always, there is also a positive or at least optimistic variant included. Currently, there is no “good” ending for Karlach in the game.
This is because Karlach has an infernal machine integrated into her chest that constantly overheats. While one can postpone the problems in the story for a while, there is no final solution for the machine.
This, in turn, leads to Karlach having to choose from different endings:
She becomes a mind flayer and can live longer in this new form.
She travels back to Avernus and thus into the influence of Zariel, who implanted this machine in her.
She dramatically dies at the end because the machine overheats.
What is going to change now? The developers do not specify the exact changes, but they talk about a “new, alternative ending” for Karlach in the future. It will be “fiery, moving and give her the ending she deserves”.
It is likely that it will be a somewhat more positive ending that has already been found in the game data but was not present in the release version. There are already voice lines and sequences that remained unused in the final game and are now likely to be added.
When will it be ready? There is still no release date for the patch, but it is likely to be just a few days away. According to the developers, the patch is “right around the corner” – so it’s almost here. Therefore, for those who have not yet reached Act 3, there are good chances of enjoying the improved ending sequence on their first playthrough.
How did you find Karlach’s original endings? Are you looking forward to an improvement?
In Pokémon GO Shinys are particularly popular among trainers, but not easy to find. However, three players have recently made a catch that is incredibly rare. What this catch was, we have summarized for you here on MeinMMO.
Which Pokémon is it about? Besides the normal forms of Pokémon, many trainers also aim for the so-called Shinys. These usually differ in color from their original form and are, however, correspondingly rare to find.
Players are all the more excited when they can secure such an example in the wild. However, three trainers have recently made a particularly rare catch. What it was and why it is so unique, we will show you below.
What was caught? Over the weekend, the global GO Fest took place in Pokémon GO, where you also had the chance to catch a variety of Shinys. Many trainers therefore went on the hunt for new or still missing shiny specimens.
However, Reddit user KILLERTHAN made a very special catch with his friends at this event and cannot believe his luck. He shares a series of pictures on Reddit of three shiny Kommandutan, which are displayed on three different smartphones.

The special thing about it is that they are not just any shiny Kommandutan, but the same monster. He and his friends discovered the Kommandutan on the map and clicked on it to check if it was a Shiny. Then came the big surprise: all three Kommandutan shimmered.
He writes (via reddit.com): What are the odds of this happening? Or is it a mistake? Two friends and I were playing when we stumbled upon this Kommandutan. We all checked if it was shiny and we didn’t just get it as a shiny, but also with the same CP and IVs. The only differences are weight and size.
Why is the catch so crazy? Encountering a shiny specimen in Pokémon GO is, except for Community Day, relatively rare. The community around The Silph Road has in the past determined an average chance of about 1 in 500.
Even if the chances for ticket holders during the GO Fest were slightly increased, it is still much rarer to encounter the same shiny with two accounts. In KILLERTHAN’s case, they were even three times lucky.
That the three monsters have the same values is not surprising. This is because trainers at level 30 or higher always get the same values for a wild catch, even when it is not shiny. This way, it is also possible for trainers to inform each other when they have discovered a monster with an IV of 100.
Trainers congratulate: Hopefully you bought lottery tickets
In the Reddit community, this catch is causing a lot of excitement. Many congratulate KILLERTHAN on this catch. Some have even had similar experiences in the past. In the comments, one can read the following (via reddit.com):
adburgan: CP and IVs will be the same if you are all at or above level 30, as others have said. The Shiny rate for the GO Fest seems, based on data from the past few years, to be around 1/64 – 1/128. Even if we assume that the rate is a bit more generous, say 1/50, the chance that all 3 of you get exactly the same shiny is 0.000008 or 1 in 125,000. That means you had quite a bit of luck that this result actually happens. Hopefully, you all bought lottery tickets, although Shinys are much more likely than an actual lottery win.
TealBlueLava: This happened to me once with Shiny Chansey. I was playing with both accounts during my break at work. I clicked on it on both phones at the same time, both were shiny.
Ha_CharadeUAre: The Pokémon that spawn are usually always the same for everyone (to a certain degree), hence the mass rush in early gameplay when certain Pokémon spawn, or people post where a hundred has spawned. But the chances of everyone getting a shiny Pokémon at the same time is pretty low, I would say. My friend and I experienced that on a random Community Day, but not to this extent. Congratulations!
Was the catch intentional? Reddit user chipdelux has a different theory as to why such a catch may have occurred. He does not believe it was a coincidence, but rather that it is a clever plan by the developers to make the game more interesting.
He explains in the comments on Reddit: My theory is that Niantic knows you three play together and sets up these events to try to create positively associated moments with this game and a group of friends.
Whether he is right and the developers occasionally intentionally set up such catches or whether KILLERTHAN and his friends just had unbelievable luck remains uncertain.
What do you think of KILLERTHAN’s catch? Have you ever gotten the same Shiny as friends? And do you think there might be something to chipdelux’s theory? Feel free to let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange with other trainers about it.
The Day Before was once the most anticipated game of 2022 on Steam, but since then the game has been in negative headlines from time to time. Whether it’s allegations of fraud or licensing issues with its name. The latter seems to have continued, as apparently they want to change the name again.
What is The Day Before?
It is supposed to be a zombie MMO
Similar to Day Z, it’s about PvP and survival in a zombie apocalypse
But the initial hype has continued to decline. Allegations of fraud regarding The Day Before have become louder, and many players believe that the game isn’t real at all. This has gone so far that the developers announced a beta to convince them. And the name of the game also has its problems.

The Day Before gameplay trailer in 4K and with ray tracing
Due to these issues, The Day Before also disappeared from Steam and thus from probably the largest audience. The whole name confusion even went to court, and it seems that developer Mytona Fntastic will have to change the name or at least secure it.
As the site WellPlayed reports, a trademark for the company was registered with the name Dayworld, indicating a video game. The ironic thing is that the name Dayworld is also used by a book trilogy that was published in 1985.
There is still no official statement from Mytona Fntastic regarding this. Whether the name will change, they are just securing themselves, or it is even a new game can only be speculated based on the registered trademark.
The whole situation of The Day Before becomes more and more absurd month by month, and each new report makes everything around it even more opaque. What do you think about the whole situation of The Day Before? Do you believe it will be released and are you looking forward to the game? Let us know in the comments.
Germany and game development also do not look positive for the future. Currently, the next German studio has announced its closure:
A gamer sent his gaming laptop for repair, but instead, the model was disassembled. The support offers him a replacement, but the new laptop is worse than his old device.
Many of you have probably sent a device for repair. Either because you have grown fond of your device or just to do a favor for the environment. A gamer sent his gaming laptop for repair directly to the manufacturer.
But instead of his device, the user received an email stating that his device had been accidentally scrapped.
Repair offers him a new device
What exactly happened? The user explained himself that he had sent in his “OMEN” laptop, a brand from HP, for repair of a hinge. This was all within the warranty, and that’s why he contacted the manufacturer’s support (HP).
However, in an email, they informed him that his device had been accidentally scrapped. His device was supposedly labeled incorrectly, causing it to end up in scrapping instead of being repaired.

What happens next? The user explained in his reddit post that he now has two options. Because his original model is no longer being produced.
He gets his money back. How much, he does not say. Although it is a warranty case, he has used the device for several years.
Or he accepts the model that the support offers him as a replacement. That would be a laptop with Intel i7 and a GeForce RTX 4050.
But the replacement model sparks a big debate in the community about whether he should really accept it.
Offer sparks heated debate
How good is the replacement? That is exactly a point of contention within the community. Because they disagree on whether the user should really accept the proposed device. Because the new model is not a real upgrade.
The processor used is a significant upgrade compared to the old model; everyone seems pretty much in agreement on that.
However, opinions differ on the new graphics chip, an RTX 4050 6 GB: Some users consider the new GPU to be a clear downgrade since the model only features an RTX 4050 with 6 GB of video memory.
Additionally, he is “only” getting a device from HP’s Victus line. His old device was an Omen model, which is regarded as significantly higher quality than the Victus line. For many, it is clear: Instead of the high-end series, they only want to offer him a budget model.
Many gamers say: 6 GB of video memory are just not up to date in 2023. After all, the old RTX 2070 in his old model still offered 8 GB of video memory. Some say he should rather discuss with support and ask for a model with RTX 4060, which would provide him with 8 GB of video memory. Or else take his money and buy a new device elsewhere. As one user explains under the post:
An RTX 4050 is definitely not an upgrade. Ask for a better GPU or take the money. You could actually get less performance with this [new GPU].
Are graphics cards with 6 GB of video memory still sensible?
What is video memory even needed for? In video memory (or VRAM), data such as textures are stored temporarily. The higher the resolution, the greater the load on video memory increases. If the video memory is not sufficient, it usually leads to unpleasant loading stutters. Because your computer has to reload textures or data and remove old ones from memory. In the worst case, the game simply crashes.
8 GB should definitely be enough in Full HD, and in WQHD at least 10 GB.
6 GB VRAM or less is simply not future-proof today. Anyone wanting to play in WQHD should steer clear of graphics cards with 8 GB.
The problem is that all games handle this differently: Some games require very little VRAM, while others demand significantly more. Many agree: If you want to play without compromises, then anything below 8 GB is too little.
AMD and Nvidia have long been criticized for releasing very inexpensive graphics cards. Because here, video memory is often skimped on. This makes the GPUs cheap but a disappointment for most gamers:
FromSoftware’s latest action game Armored Core 6 offers some challenging battles. We show you an overview of all bosses and how to defeat them.
Armored Core 6 Fires of Rubicon (AC6) is the latest action game from FromSoftware. The Japanese development studio is known for its challenging boss fights in games like Elden Ring, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne. But you can also expect some tough confrontations in AC6.
You can see which boss enemies await you in Armored Core 6 in the overview below. The bosses are listed in the order in which you encounter them in the game.

AH12 HC Helicopter
What kind of boss is this? The HC Helicopter is, as the name suggests, a large and heavily armed helicopter that awaits you at the beginning of the game as a tutorial boss at the end of the first mission.
How do you defeat the HC Helicopter? The flying monstrosity is armed, among other things, with a rocket launcher, with which it can be particularly dangerous over long distances and can deal high splash damage.
You should therefore try to get as close to the helicopter as possible using the various cover options so that you are not constantly preoccupied with dodging.
In addition, you should try to fill the gauge above the boss’s health bar. Once the gauge is filled, you deal more damage. To fill the gauge, you need to perform successful attacks. According to the YouTuber “Born 2 Game”, the gauge fills particularly quickly with your melee attack (via YouTube).
Moreover, you should stay as mobile as possible during the entire fight. Avoid standing still and shooting at the helicopter with your ranged weapons – it will punish you mercilessly.

HA-T-102 Juggernaut
What kind of boss is this? The Juggernaut is a massive tank that moves on tracks and has a massive steel shield on the front that makes most of your weapons seem obsolete. As if that wasn’t enough, the Juggernaut aims to dismantle you with explosive attacks or simply run you over.
How do you defeat the Juggernaut? From behind. Since you can deal virtually no damage to the tank from the front, you should try to get around it. The best way to do this is to jump over it and land behind it.
With two shotguns or two rocket launchers, you can then effectively try to fill the stagger gauge above the boss’s health bar in order to deal more damage. Alternatively, the YouTuber “Oroboro” recommends using two plasma rifles, the Vvc-760PR, as they deal high damage (via YouTube).
AA P07 Balteus
What kind of boss is this? Balteus is again a flying and very agile opponent who has a shield that protects him from your attacks and is controlled by a mech in the middle. In phase 1 (more than 50% health), he attacks with rocket fire and in phase 2 (less than 50% health) additionally with a flamethrower.
How do you defeat Balteus? You should try to act at close range against Balteus again. In addition to your melee attack, shotguns are also a good option here. Once you have “destroyed” Balteus’s shield, it is temporarily deactivated. During this time, you can fill the gauge above the health display to block the boss’s attacks and inflict increased damage.
A detailed guide on how to defeat Balteus can be found with our colleagues at GamePro.
What kind of boss is this? The Smart Cleaner is not just a vacuum robot that helps you clean your apartment, but a huge machine with glowing arms.
How do you defeat the Smart Cleaner? You defeat the Smart Cleaner most easily by hovering in the air for as long as possible and thereby avoiding its dangerous ground attacks. It can indeed be helpful to attack from a greater distance and avoid being cornered. Aim for the glowing opening on the top of the Smart Cleaner in your attacks.
IA-13 Sea Spider
What kind of boss is this? The spider-like machine is an enemy you must defeat at the end of chapter 2, and it torments you with a variety of different attacks.
How do you defeat the Sea Spider? In the fight with the Sea Spider, you should try again to fight at close range while remaining as agile as possible. You need to move a lot and quickly and jump as often as possible. You should also try to circle the Sea Spider with your jumps. Both help to avoid the boss’s dangerous attacks.
AA-602 CATAPHRACT
What kind of boss is this? The CATAPHRACT is a tracked tank controlled by a mech in the center of the construct and comes with a huge arsenal of different weapons.
Moreover, the CATAPHRACT is surprisingly fast and particularly dangerous at long distances. Since the fight takes place in open area without many cover options, the CATAPHRACT can make optimal use of its speed and strong ranged weaponry.
How do you defeat the CATAPHRACT? In the fight with the CATAPHRACT, you should try to keep the distance between you and the steel monster as short as possible.
If you are close, focus your attacks on the mech in the center of the CATAPHRACT, that is its weak spot and gives you the opportunity to fill the stagger gauge above the health bar, allowing you to deal more damage afterward.
On page 2, you will find the remaining bosses of Armored Core 6

Since Season 22, there is finally a new Exo weapon combo in Destiny 2 that shoots flying creatures. The grenade launcher named “Ex-Diris” and the “Moth Guardian’s Cloak” complement each other perfectly and create sentient flutter friends that will always support you appropriately in battle.
This is how projectiles become dazzling moth balls: With the DLC “The Witch Queen”, Bungie already introduced a heavy grenade launcher to the game, whose ammo consisted of worm babies.
What initially sounds somewhat cruel, however, was able to deal quite a bit of damage, which is why Guardians are still eagerly shooting worms at their opponents to this day.
Since Season 22, Guardians have a new cool toy of this kind: A grenade launcher whose projectiles are actually “moth balls”. And it’s really cool as well.
When killing an enemy, a lightning-fast moth emerges that seeks out victims.
If it hits one, it not only explodes but also blinds the enemies.
Moreover, the new armor exotic from Season 22, the “Moth Guardian’s Cloak”, can significantly enhance the weapon’s use through its synergy. We will tell you how it works and how cool it is.
Start video
Destiny 2: Lightfall Season 22 – „Witch’s Season“
Be Moth Summoners and Make Your Weapon Angry
This is how you get the moths in Season 22: Savathun demonstrated it in “The Witch Queen” and now Guardians can do it too. If you aim to transform the Destiny 2 universe into a fluttering moth paradise, then the Exo grenade launcher “Ex-Diris” with the Arc element is perfect for you.
The grenade launcher is included in the Season Pass of “Season of the Witch”.
Its Exo Perk “Corrupted Nucleosynthesis” can make the weapon angry by causing damage or continuously taking damage.
As long as your weapon is angry, its rate of fire is increased.
Killing blows with this weapon activate “Loyal Moths” and make you the moth summoner of a sweet flutter bug that chases targets.
Upon contact with an opponent, your moth explodes and deals damage.
A nice side effect is that your moths additionally blind upon explosion.
Dazzling moths are not only spectacularly explosive to watch, but they also impair the visibility and aiming of enemies, which often gives you a tactical advantage in battle.
The Arc grenade launcher “Ex-Diris” from Season 22
This improves the weapon’s synergies even further: To get the most out of your new moth launcher in Season 22, two things are necessary.
On one hand, the weapon’s catalyst.
You will receive it directly from Banshee-44, the weapon master in the Tower, after you have picked up the weapon from the Season Pass. If you complete the quest “Grenade Logic” (200 weapon kills with “Ex-Diris”), the catalyst grants the additional perk “Berserker Surge”.
Berserker Surge: Your grenade launcher “Ex-Diris” becomes angry faster when you are empowered. Last hits grant the player “Empowered”.
On the other hand, you should equip the new Season 22 armor exotic “Moth Guardian’s Cloak” for the Hunter.
If you don’t know where to get this armor Exo – here you will find all the info:
This is what you should try out: The true moth magic unfolds with the Hunter Exo “Moth Guardian’s Cloak”. It gives the weapon essentially two charges of “moth balls” with different burning types that you can unleash on enemies.
The Arc moth flies slower and has an offensive role. It seeks out targets and explodes upon contact as usual.
In PvE it causes up to 526 and in PvP up to 31 arc grenade damage.
The Void moth flies faster and has a supportive role. It does not seek enemies but allies.
Allies receive a 22.5 high hit point advantage in the form of a Void overshield upon contact.
After the Warlocks, now Hunters are enjoying the synergy benefits
The armor Exo gives your moths an independent intelligence upgrade. As players have discovered, depending on how close you are to allies or enemies, different moths appear.
If there are no enemies nearby, two Void moths are created.
If enemies are nearby and you and your allies need no healing, two Arc moths appear.
If enemies are nearby and you and your allies are a bit low on health, one Arc moth and one Void moth appear.
Currently, players are discovering more and more of these effects. For example, your moths can trigger fleeting projectiles. The Exo glaive “Vexcalibur” probably turns half an overshield in close combat into a full one. An additional bonus is that the super of the Strand Hunter “Widow’s Silk” allows you three instead of two of these beneficial moth grenade charges.
This weapon with the new Exo is therefore undoubtedly one of the combinations worth exploring and maximizing in Season 22.
Smart weapons are more interesting: If you like these synergies between a weapon and armor exotics, or the idea of receiving damage and other benefits, then we have good news.
Cool combat combos are something that Bungie wants to bring more often into the game in the future.
It started in 2022 with the Warlocks with their poison symbiosis from the hand cannon “Dorn” or the submachine gun “Osteo Striga” with the Exo gloves “Necrotic Grips”.
In Season 22, the Titan aspect “War Banner” increases melee and sword damage and regularly heals nearby allies.
Void Titans will then be able to throw axes that explode and can be picked up by allies.
Solar Warlocks can enhance their allies’ weapon damage with sentient solar flames.
It seems there is still a lot of room for weapons and exotics that provide various types of utility. And Bungie will according to Game Director Joe Blackburn pay more attention to “how important the utility for the player is” in the future regarding weapons, than to how much damage they deal.
How do you like the weapon? And what do you think of this approach for more damage-utility options? Do such synergies with builds and exotic weapons make the game more interesting for you? Or do you not care at all about sharing benefits with your teammates? We look forward to your opinion in the comments.
It is quite possible that this Exo combo will also be used in the raid race this weekend:
Fextralife is one of the most watched channels on Twitch and regularly dominates major releases like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Diablo 4. However, some streamers feel disadvantaged by the channel’s methods and wish that the streaming platform would put a stop to it.
What is the problem with Fextralife? Unlike well-known streaming personalities like Asmongold or MontanaBlack, the channel does not represent an individual. Instead, there are 3 different people streaming under the names Cas, Tyr, and Yuria.
By dividing their time, they can simply be on air for more hours than if everything had to be covered by a single person. This gives them an enormous advantage, especially in terms of hours viewed.
But Fextralife also takes advantage of another benefit that annoys other streamers: Behind the channel is a website that lists over 150 wikis with guides and information on numerous major releases.
The in-house streams are then integrated into all the wikis. If someone looks something up there, they are automatically counted as a viewer, even if they are not consciously watching the stream. With this strategy, Fextralife already faced criticism in 2022.
Now Fextralife has once again managed to establish itself as the most-watched channel for two of the biggest releases of 2023 so far: Diablo 4 and Baldur’s Gate 3. Thus, the criticism of the practices of the website is once again in focus.
The YouTuber Moistcr1tikal has addressed the company’s approach in a recent video, which we have embedded here in the original English:
Recommended editorial content

Streamer says: ‘They are taking away a spot from others’
What other criticisms are there? At the same time, Fextralife is under fire on Reddit. The mod of a subreddit for Baldur’s Gate 3 with more than 31,500 members accused the website’s operators of using bots to automatically downvote links to competitors and critical comments so that they no longer appear.
The post was later supplemented with a statement from Fextralife. The website’s operators deny being behind the actions and emphasize that anyone could be responsible. A detailed statement was also posted in the forum of the website.
Cr1tikal also criticizes Fextralife for claiming to have been unaware of Reddit bots until now. After all, the automated helpers should be known to every user: ‘It’s perfectly fine to defend against the allegations and point out logical inconsistencies. But why tell such a blatant lie?’
However, the YouTuber has little hope that Twitch will take action against Fextralife’s methods. After all, the platform benefits from the high numbers that the channel can show: ‘This is not good for other streamers. It takes away a spot from streamers who deserve it more and who actually have communities.’
Although Fextralife’s methods do not violate Twitch’s guidelines, streamers wish that the platform would act against the channel’s practices. It remains to be seen whether this will happen.
On Twitch, multiplayer titles and the streamers who play them usually dominate. With Baldur’s Gate, a rather atypical game has catapulted to the top of the streaming platform and also offered smaller streamers a moment in the spotlight:
The Berlin streamer Elias “EliasN97″ Nerlich rose to the top of German Twitch in 2022, dethroning the previous number 1, Marcel “MontanaBlack” Eris. Now, he has set his sights on the record of another German streamer.
What record did EliasN97 break? On the night of August 29, the streamer set a new record for the most simultaneous subscriptions on German Twitch. The previous record of 70,000 subs was set by Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler in 2021 and held since then.
EliasN97 surpassed the Hamburger and currently stands at 71,016 active subscriptions (as of August 29, 2023, 11:10 via Twitchtracker).
Additionally, the 25-year-old is currently the most-watched streamer in the world. In terms of watch time, he leaves international stars like Tarik, Ibai, and Gaules behind (via sullygnome).
How did he do it? EliasN97 has been running a subscription marathon since August 13, meaning a continuous stream. With such a marathon stream, Ludwig set a worldwide record of 283,002 subs in 2021, which was then broken in February 2023 by another subathon.
During a subathon, each subscription extends the time the streamer remains on air.
Some believe that the records set in such marathon streams do not really count. After all, the legendary Fortnite streamer Ninja originally set his record without any special subscription incentives.
A special highlight for the viewers was a truly nasty challenge, as the streamer, together with his friends, took on not only the currently popular “Hot Chip” challenge but also another dubious culinary experience.
The Swedish sour herring “Surströmming” is known for its intense and extremely unpleasant smell for many people. Up to 140,000 viewers watched as EliasN97 made his friend, content creator Willy, suffer, as he had to eat the “stinky fish” (via sullygnome).
The associated clip should only be watched if you are insensitive to vomiting sounds (via TikTok). The sub marathon of EliasN97 is still ongoing, so it remains to be seen what the streamer has planned for his viewers.
Trymacs will likely cope with the loss of his record, as the 29-year-old is probably busy with other things at the moment. He has just returned from the struggle for survival in the Canadian wilderness and brought back special news:
Inkbound is a turn-based strategy game that describes itself as a cooperative ‘action-roguelike ’ and is currently in Early Access. About three months after its release, the game on Steam receives very positive reviewsand reminds one of Diablo and Slay the Spire.
The world of Inkbound: A magical educational institution, the Athenaeum, is richly filled with books full of various stories featuring heroes and monsters.
Each of these books is a portal to a dangerous world, where you face challenges alone or with other players, fight monsters, and find a lot of loot.

Inkbound Early Access Trailer
What does the trailer promise? The trailer shows you many appealing excerpts of the colorful gameplay and already promises various gameplay features:
Strategic, turn-based battles from a bird’s-eye view
The developers also promise continuous development during Early Access and after the official release of the game:
New classes and characters
New books that bring new worlds
Daily challenges
Various items for support
What are the opinions? Although the trailer on Youtube is rather undiscovered, the reviews on Steam promise a pretty good game that could certainly be worth a bit of attention.
Players are especially excited about the gameplay mechanics and the appropriate difficulty, as is evident in the Steam reviews:
Caliban writes: ‘Well, it’s really well made, […] The game gets harder and you don’t get better just by unlocking things, you also have to master them. […]’
Average Joe thinks: ‘[…] already as it is now, it was worth its price.’
Until September 4th, you can still get the game for just 15.90 euros, and it’s definitely worth checking out.

World of Warcraft Classic has several professions that your character can learn. But which professions are the best in WoW Classic? This guide will help you.
Almost as important as the choice of the right class in WoW Classic is also the choice of the suitable professions. Leveling a profession will take many days and often comes with strong bonuses that simplify leveling or bring in a good amount of gold – a rare commodity in Classic, where an epic mount often takes several weeks to farm.
[toc]
The 9 Professions from WoW Classic and Who They Are Useful For
To help you know what each profession offers and who it is suitable for, we have compiled a list of all main professions. Keep in mind that you can only learn two of these professions with one character at the same time. If you want to change profession, you must forget a chosen profession – in doing so, you lose all progress in that profession permanently. Therefore, it is advisable to decide on two professions at the beginning and stick with them.
Alchemy
Alchemists can do mainly two things in World of Warcraft Classic: brew potions and transmute materials. Potions provide some of the strongest buffs in the game and are very popular in the endgame (raids) – often they are even mandatory. To avoid high costs, everyone will want to have an alchemist in their circle of friends.
Pro
Top profession for making gold
Strong buffs from potions for personal use
Transmutation can create precious resources
Contra
Recipes can be difficult to obtain
The sought-after flasks can only be made in 2 locations in the game
Requires herbs and ores (transmutation)
Suitable in combination with: Herbalism.
Especially suitable for the classes: All classes.
Blacksmithing
Blacksmithing focuses on manufacturing armor of the plate category. Experienced blacksmiths can also produce some of the most sought-after swords and axes in the game if they can get the necessary recipes and materials.
Pro
Provides good equipment even during the leveling phase
Lockpicks can open lock boxes – completely without rogues
Whetstones sharpen weapons of many classes, increasing damage
Contra
Extremely farm-intensive profession
Some recipes can only be crafted in a dungeon
Must specialize later and does not learn all recipes
Suitable in combination with: Mining.
Especially suitable for the classes: Warrior and Paladin, as they can wear plate armor and use the weapons.
Enchanting
Enchanting in World of Warcraft Classic makes good equipment even better. Whether it’s chest armor, sword, or shoes, enchanting can add additional attributes and other passive effects to many items. In the endgame, everyone needs the services of an enchanter – and they can be quite expensive.
Pro
Strong improvements even during the leveling phase
Every character needs an enchanter’s services
Popular in instances to disenchant unwanted loot
Contra
An enchanting teacher can only be found in a dungeon
Consumes many items that you could otherwise sell for gold
Materials can be difficult to farm
Suitable in combination with: Tailoring.
Especially suitable for the classes: Due to the good pairing with tailoring, enchanting is especially suitable for mages, warlocks, and priests.
Engineering
Engineering allows the creation of numerous useful or simply funny devices and machines. This includes not only explosive materials such as grenades but also reduced fall speed or even a mind control cap. Many of these items are just for fun, while others provide a massive advantage, especially in PvP battles. Anyone who spends their time in PvP will hardly get around engineering.
Pro
Additional control effects are especially useful in PvP
Can create the best ammunition in the game for hunters
Repair bot is particularly popular in raids
Contra
Very few items can be sold to other players
Must choose between two specializations
Requires resources from all 3 gathering professions
Suitable in combination with: Mining, although resources from other professions are also needed.
Especially suitable for the classes: All classes, particularly those who enjoy PvP and hunters for creating ammunition.
Herbalism
Only herbalists can collect the necessary plants in WoW Classic that are needed by the alchemist for crafting important potions. Herbs can be found in almost every area, allowing the profession to be leveled “on the side”. Without herbalism support, an alchemist is almost useless.
Pro
Herbs are always in demand, offering good sales opportunities
Can easily be leveled while questing
Can summon additional bosses in Zul Gurub
Contra
Resources are often fiercely contested
Endgame resources (e.g. Black Lotus) are extremely rare
Suitable in combination with: Alchemy or Mining.
Especially suitable for the classes: All classes, especially rogues, as they can create blindness powder and thistle tea from herbs.
Leatherworking
Those who want to wrap themselves in stylish leather or chain clothing cannot do without a leatherworker. In addition to crafting equipment, they can also create enhancements for items, similar to an enchanter – often only with defensive abilities.
Pro
Can be easily leveled in conjunction with skinning
Essential for a raid due to the “Onyxia Scale Cloak”
Can create some “toys” like leather balls
Contra
Rather limited opportunities to make gold
Customer base is largely limited
Requires a lot of farming work at high levels
Suitable in combination with: Skinning.
Especially suitable for the classes: Hunter, Shaman, Rogue, and Druid, as they can use the crafted armor themselves.
Mining
The mining of ores is reserved for miners in WoW Classic. With their pickaxe, they can mine various deposits and ore veins, from which they can extract different amounts of ore. Sometimes, there are valuable gemstones, which are needed for special recipes and can fetch a good price at the auction house.
Pro
Can easily be leveled while questing
Provides resources for several crafting professions
High demand at the auction house
Contra
Ores are often fiercely contested among players
Farming certain resources can take days or weeks
Some ore can only be processed in a dungeon
Suitable in combination with: Blacksmithing and Engineering.
Especially suitable for the classes: Paladins and Warriors, as they often rely on the combination with Blacksmithing. Otherwise, all who have chosen Engineering.
Skinning
Wild animals are among the most common enemies in World of Warcraft and can be processed further by a skinner after death. They provide valuable hides and leathers that are needed by other professions in further processing. Killing wild animals pays off doubly and provides extra loot.
Pro
Can be easily leveled even during the leveling phase
Practically endless available resources
Provides material for several crafting professions
Contra
Many offers in the auction house
Requires a special knife later to obtain the best resources
Suitable in combination with: Leatherworking.
Especially suitable for the classes: Hunter, Shaman, Rogue, and Druid, especially in combination with Leatherworking.
Tailoring
Tailors can process the fabrics they loot from humanoid enemies into good equipment or fashionable shirts. But they also offer something for all non-cloth wearers, as they can also produce bags that expand the character’s inventory space. Having a tailor on your friends list is therefore extremely worthwhile, and bags always have a good market in the auction house.
Pro
Provides some of the best cloth items that can be worn until the endgame
Can create the largest bags in the game
Can create “RP” clothing, such as shirts or wedding dresses
Contra
Makes it extremely difficult to level “First Aid” alongside
Some resources can only be crafted in specific locations (Moonwell)
Can require massive farming efforts
Suitable in combination with: Enchanting, as the crafted items can be disenchanted and further processed.
Especially suitable for the classes: Cloth classes, such as mages, warlocks, and priests.
These are the 3 Secondary Professions from WoW Classic
In addition to the three main professions, there are also three secondary professions in World of Warcraft Classic. These can be learned by all characters without any restrictions. You can choose two main professions and still learn all three secondary professions.
Cooking
Anyone who doesn’t want to eat food from the vendor or strange arcane food from a mage might want to prepare their own meals. This is done through the profession of cooking. The dishes prepared in this way grant additional passive effects for a time, such as more health points, more agility, or additional mana regeneration.
Pro
Provides additional buffs that stack with other professions
Dishes can be sold well in the auction house
Contra
Requires a lot of time and associated farming work
Suitable in combination with: Fishing, as many fish can be processed.
Especially suitable for the classes: All, as every class can benefit from the buffs. Rogues in particular, due to the thistle tea that replenishes their energy.
First Aid
In WoW Classic, the profession of first aid is still very useful. The bandages created can heal a character for a large portion of their health points in just seconds. However, many fabrics are needed to create the bandages, primarily looted from humanoid enemies.
Pro
Strong healing for classes without self-healing
A huge advantage in both PvP and PvE
Contra
Consumes a lot of fabrics that could otherwise be sold for gold
Suitable in combination with: Everything except tailoring, as they share the same resources.
Especially suitable for the classes: All classes without self-healing. But healing classes can also heal themselves without mana costs.
Fishing
Nothing is as relaxing as fishing in World of Warcraft. The caught fish can be used by other professions to be processed into food.
Pro
Greatly facilitates leveling cooking
Can summon a specific boss in Zul Gurub
Nice side income that can be done “on the side”
Contra
Extremely time-consuming and simply boring for some players
Suitable in combination with: Cooking and Alchemy, as they require some fish.
Especially suitable for the classes: All classes.
We hope that you have found this article helpful in deciding which professions you should take on with your character in Classic. Which professions will you learn in WoW Classic?

Does Starfield (PC / Xbox) have a coop mode? Can you even play in multiplayer? What about mods? A brief overview on MeinMMO.
Will Starfield have multiplayer? No, there is no multiplayer mode planned for Starfield. There will also be no coop mode. Starfield is completely designed as a single-player game.
Are there multiplayer mods for Starfield? The people at Bethesda have announced that Starfield is supposed to be a kind of “modder paradise”. After the release on September 6, projects are likely to emerge that deal with a multiplayer mod.
The interest seems to be great, as Starfield appears to have many similarities to MMOs at first glance. Colleague Benedict Grothaus already mentioned after the first presentation in 2022 that Starfield will be the best MMO that is actually not one.
The probability of a multiplayer mod is quite high. For The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim and Fallout 4, suitable mods can be found, and it is only a matter of time until dedicated modders build something like that for Starfield.
But one has to wait for the release to see what is possible with Starfield modding.
Could a multiplayer mode be added later? Currently, there are no indications that a multiplayer mode will come to Starfield with later expansions. The DLC “Shattered Space” has already been announced as the first story expansion.
As soon as there is new information on the topic, you will find more about it on MeinMMO. We will closely accompany the release of Starfield, keep an eye on important mods, and regularly publish guides and stories.
MeinMMO author Maik Schneider is ready for Starfield, has been staring at the stars for weeks and is waiting with shining eyes for the early access on September 1st. To help you be ready too, here are 5 tips that will help you with an optimal start into the game.
It all starts on September 1st. Starfield enters early access at 2 AM, and on September 6th, all players can join in.
I have five tips for you for the start. Things you should think about before the release so that nothing stands in the way of an optimal first flight into space. For each point, I will also tell you how I have heeded the tip.
You can watch the latest Starfield trailer from gamescom 2023 here:

Gamescom ONL 2023 Trailer Starfield
Tip 1 for the start – Buy and play Starfield
Decide now which platform you want to buy Starfield on: on PC in the Xbox app, on Steam, or on Xbox Series. The versions do not differ in their content.
Advantage on Steam: The standard and premium editions cost 10 euros less
Advantage Xbox / Xbox app: Starfield will be in the Xbox Game Pass from release, the version can be played on console and PC
If you want to play during the early access on September 1st, you can upgrade the Xbox Game Pass versions for 35 euros. Additionally, there is the first story DLC and some cosmetics included. Here you can find all the information about early access.
If you are still unsure whether you want to play Starfield, more information will be available on August 31st at 6 PM. The first reviews will go online then.
My solution: I play on PC. Hardware manufacturer AMD is a partner of Starfield, and I bought new AMD technology during the promotion period. A key for the premium edition was included. Here is the promotion via amd.com.
Tip 2 for the start – Are my files complete?
For the Xbox app on PC and for Xbox Series, the preload is already online. On August 30th, Steam players will also be able to preload. However, you should check your download one more time before the release:
Is it installed on the right hard drive?
Are the data complete?
Was there an update before the release?
Do not start your technology just before the release. There has already been an initial update, and there might be more before it starts.
My solution: Since I want to inform myself spoiler-free, the Starfield Subreddit is my first choice (via reddit.com). The moderators keep emphasizing that they do not want to see leaks and consistently delete leak threads.
Tip 3 for the start – Does my hardware fit?
Starfield is not particularly kind to old PCs. As a minimum requirement, you will need a GTX 1070 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 5700. Used models are available from 150 to 200 euros, but a potato PC probably won’t be able to run Starfield.
Additionally, you should look at your hard drive: Starfield requires 125 GB of free space and an SSD. It might also run with an HDD, but that would significantly increase loading times.
Starfield partner AMD has more tips for players who want to go 4K:
“For uncompromising 4K gamers who want the absolute best Starfield experience.”
Processor (CPU): AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Graphics card (GPU): AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT
My solution: I … might have gone a bit overboard. For me, there was a complete PC upgrade with the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and a Radeon RX 7900 XTX. The game was already included with the AMD technology, which is probably why the Starfield controller ended up in the shopping cart.
Tip 4 for the start – Roleplay in RPG
Starfield is a big RPG and gives you a lot of freedom. At least make a rough plan beforehand about who you want to be in Starfield. You can…
consider a clear role and strictly choose your background and skills accordingly
go full gameplay and always choose what brings the most power in combat
decide spontaneously which option sounds best to you
How you do it: You do it right! Role-players will always recommend that you think about a role beforehand and make decisions in the game based on that. If you have never tried this in an RPG, it might be time.
My solution: I used to always play “the good guy,” was the tank of a group, took the role that no one wanted. In recent years, I have actively opposed that, killed a complete tutorial island once, and always chose the damage dealer.
But the longer I thought about Starfield, the more I want to fall back into old patterns. I will play a good character again, a beacon of optimism, the shining one of the sector.
My role model: Captain Kathryn Janeway from the USS Voyager – strong, principled, but sometimes a bit stubborn. You can also get inspired by Baldur’s Gate 3:
I am very sensitive when it comes to spoilers. However, I would still like to give you 2 small preliminary pieces of information that hardly have anything to do with gameplay.
Starfield takes its time
The RPG starts slowly according to leaks and first explains all mechanics to you very calmly. It does not start with a fireworks display. Be aware that Starfield only gradually picks up speed and wait with your first judgment for a few hours of gameplay.
My solution: Unfortunately, it’s quite depressing. Right at the release, I cannot play because I have to write a bunch of articles and guides about the game. Even before I can play for the first hour, every kind of spoiler is coming at me. Therefore, I know exactly what I’m getting into.
These were our tips for an optimal start in Starfield. Grab some snacks, sit down with friends on Discord or alone on the couch – you will be there for quite some time.
