Pokémon GO: We now know at what time the best monsters for GO Fest 2023 can be found

At the GO Fest, you can encounter a lot of monsters in Pokémon GO this weekend. We now know when which spawns will occur. We have summarized the overview of all habitats and their respective Pokémon below.

What kind of event is this? On August 26 and 27, the big global GO Fest will take place in Pokémon GO, where you can encounter numerous Pokémon. As in previous years, these will not spawn randomly on the first day of the event, but will come at specific times in changing habitats.

Now Niantic has finally announced more details about the times. We have summarized when which habitats will be active and which monsters you can find in them below.

All Spawns and Times of the 4 Habitats for the GO Fest

What habitats are there? On Saturday, August 26, you can look forward to monsters from a total of four different habitats: Quartz Terrarium, Pyrite Sands, Malachite Wilderness, and Aquamarine Coast. These will change every hour and will therefore be available twice on that day. Starting off is the habitat Quartz Terrarium.

The majority of the monsters can also be caught during this time without an event ticket. Those who have a ticket will also receive additional spawns from the incense. We have summarized all times and spawns for the individual habitats below (via pokemongolive.com).

GTA 6: Fan interrupts German TV show about the football Bundesliga, chased away with water

Grand Theft Auto 6 is probably one of the most anticipated games in the gaming industry. For years, fans have been wondering when the action game will be released – or at least when we will finally receive official information or even a trailer. However, some fans are obviously a bit more impatient than others while waiting.

Which show was it? The “Sport1 Doppelpass” is a talk show of the sports channel “Sport1”, where football is discussed, especially the current matchday of the Bundesliga. Various experts are always present in the talk show to discuss the performances of the different teams.

What did the fan do? An enthusiastic GTA fan interrupted the live show of the “Sport1 Doppelpass” on Sunday morning.

While former national player Steffan Effenberg was talking about the match between Borussia Dortmund and 1. FC Köln, the unknown person burst onto the set and interrupted the conversation. He asked the participants whether any of them had played GTA 6.

Shortly thereafter, another man entered the live show and poured water over the troublemaker before both were asked by host Florian König to “leave the set very quickly.”

A clip showing the interruption of the live show can be seen on Twitter:

Unknown interrupts the live show of the Sport1 Doppelpass

What is the current status of GTA 6? Even in August 2023, there is no new information on the status of the development of GTA 6 and when the game is supposed to be released.

In September 2022, there was a big leak about GTA 6, from which some insights into the latest installment of the action series resulted. Since then, however, it has become noticeably quieter around the title.

Only a financial report from Take Two indicated a possible release of GTA 6 in 2024. Take Two is the publisher of the GTA series and stated in the financial report that they expect “more than 8 billion US dollars in net bookings” in the fiscal year 2025, as several “groundbreaking titles” are planned during that period, which they expect to set new “quality and success standards.”

WoW: Players Find New Ways to Simplify Everything – Blizzard Must Intervene

Once again, clever players have tried to outsmart World of Warcraft to defeat bosses more easily.

In World of Warcraft, an eternal battle rages on. No, not the one between Horde and Alliance, but a different one – the one between players and developers. While players always find more creative and sophisticated ways to make the game easier or more manageable with addons, developers try to intervene whenever addon functionalities become too powerful. Boss fights can often be simplified or even trivialized by a boss mod or a ‘Weak Aura’.

A new method threatened to overshadow the next season of WoW: Dragonflight. But Blizzard intervenes in time.

What kind of method are we talking about? Blizzard improved the ‘Advanced Combat Log’ some time ago. This is a file that records what happens in fights in the background in the WoW folder. The pros from Warcraft Logs have created a tool that reads this file in real-time.

This theoretically allows for some interesting things. You can display an overlay in WoW using software that functions as a ‘Damage Meter’ – but is much more customizable and also accurately calculates the damage of enhancement summoners. This is something that has not been possible in-game until now.

However, it didn’t take long for some to notice: There is much more possible with this. Because not only can the damage be read, but also detailed information about other things in the fight – such as the position of all players.

With this information, you can create what are essentially ‘Weak Auras on Crack’ – an overlay that nearly automates boss fights and gives each player exact instructions on where to stand and how to move.

What does Blizzard say about it? They seem to be little impressed. Community Manager Kaivax has already pointed out after some discussions in the official forum that there will still be several changes to the expanded combat log before the launch of Season 3 of Dragonflight (i.e., Patch 10.2).

This should nip such tools in the bud.

Is this even allowed? No, it is not. Just because it is theoretically possible does not mean it is generally permitted. Blizzard itself refers to the user agreements that everyone must agree to when starting the game. It clearly states that such software is not allowed and its use can lead to penalties, including the complete closure of the account.

What do you think of Blizzard’s decision? Good that they are taking a hard stance here? Or are they preventing useful features?

I tested a tablet from Amazon for 100 euros – is it really that bad, as it sounds?

A tablet is more convenient than a phone for many tasks. MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann tested how much you can get for under 100 euros.

The tablet is often used for movies, a few quick emails, or other tasks where the phone is simply too small. It is often more comfortable than carrying around a heavy laptop.

Many people are willing to invest 1,000 euros or more in a phone, but when it comes to tablets, they prefer to save money because their everyday usability is somewhat limited.

Out of curiosity, I ordered a tablet for around 100 euros. Officially, the model costs 119.99 euros, but with Prime, you can get it for 89.99 euros. With 4 GB of RAM, 128 GB of internal storage, and modern Android 12, it sounds good on paper.

But how good is such a tablet really if you only paid 100 euros for it? And are there better alternatives?

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.
Technical Details:
CPU (with GPU)Rockchip RK3566 Quad-Core 1.8 GHz
RAM4 GB RAM + 3 GB virtual memory
Storage128 GB
Display10.1 inches, 60Hz (IPS), with 1280 x 800
Operating SystemAndroid 12
Battery Capacity6580 mAH
Expandable StorageYes
Main Camera13 MP
Front Camera8 MP
PortsUSB-C, 3.5mm jack and SD card slot
Weight520 grams
Dimensions246.5 x 163 x 9.9 mm

Package Contents and Other Details

What is included in the package? The package includes the tablet, a charging cable, and a power adapter. Additionally, a thin film was already applied to the display. Nothing more is included, and nothing more is needed.

A protective case for the tablet can be ordered for around 15 euros from the same manufacturer.

What technology is inside the Blackview Tab 8 Wifi? Inside the tablet is a Rockchip RK3566, a mid-range processor from 2021. It comes with 4 GB of RAM and 3 GB of virtual memory expansion. With 128 GB, the storage space is surprisingly extensive, and thanks to a slot for a memory card, it can also be expanded.

The IPS display has a resolution of only 800×1280, but it is still 10.1 inches. The main camera features 13 megapixels, while the front camera has 8 megapixels.

How Does the Tablet Perform in Everyday Use?

How well does the tablet work? Unsurprisingly, the device is slow. Most applications take a moment to fully load or receive messages from messengers. However, given the built-in technology, this is really not surprising.

I can easily write a longer text and check emails on Google Docs. Smaller games like Geometry Dash also run flawlessly on the device. Battery life is also quite sufficient and lasts easily 2 to 3 days, depending on how intensively I use the model.

The colors of the HD display are vibrant, and the Tab 8 Wifi is bright enough to read or work with even in sunlight.

It’s also worth noting that you get almost pure Android: In addition to all the Google apps, “Block Puzzle”, “Toy Crush Fever”, and “WPS Office” are installed on my device. While not needed, they don’t bother me either.

What is not so great? Overall, the display could be more responsive to my touch inputs. Additionally, the display is very sensitive and after a short time, you can see fingerprints everywhere.

The camera is usable for snapshots, but not for anything else. The colors appear too dull overall, and in low light, the images are very noisy. For photography, it’s better to bring a proper camera or a good phone.

Weighing slightly more than 500 grams, the tablet is not exactly lightweight.

Photography with Blackview Tab 8 Wifi
Weak, dull colors and little depth of field. The Blackview Tab 8 Wifi is not a photography device.

What problems are there? At first, I had an annoying boot problem where the tablet didn’t start up cleanly. The tablet got stuck for ages on the manufacturer’s logo before Android eventually booted up. However, I have since found that the tablet sometimes takes a few minutes to start properly.

While annoying, it’s not a dealbreaker. I cannot confirm whether other devices from the same manufacturer have the same issue. However, it certainly explains why the device doesn’t excite me.

Tablet Blackview Tab 8 Wifi view
With a protective case, the tablet looks quite bulky. Fingerprints are quickly visible on the display.

Without Issues, the Tablet Would Be Worth Recommending

Can I recommend the model? If you can handle a somewhat leisurely pace and can afford to be patient during the boot process or when starting apps, then the tablet is generally worth recommending. With such a low price, compromises are to be expected. Especially the good display and decent battery life make a favorable impression.

However, I couldn’t find mentions of my problems with the long boot process among other buyers on Amazon or other reviewers. Therefore, my recommendation remains somewhat limited: If you get a device without “problems,” the approximately 100 euros are well worth it if you don’t have high expectations.

There’s no need to spend 600 euros on an expensive Samsung tablet if you only want to check emails and watch series.

Are there alternatives? If you’re willing to spend 30 or 40 euros more, you already get a few good alternatives to the Blackview model:

  • The Lenovo Tab M8 offers good battery life and decent build quality, but the performance is quite weak. And the camera is also not a plus point.
  • With the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7, you also get a device for around 100 euros with good performance and good battery life. However, the storage is too small and the display is not really good.
  • The Amazon Fire HD 8 is a third alternative, but it does not run on Android. Good battery life and long software support are advantages of the model, but the weak performance, small storage, and limited Amazon OS features are rather disadvantages.

Affordable Devices Tested: By the way, I already tested another affordable device from Blackview for MeinMMO. I also wondered whether such a device is worth it with the 100-euro phone. You can read the full test directly on MeinMMO:

Twitch streamer wants to stay on air until he wins a round in CoD: But that takes longer than expected

In a marathon session, renowned streamer Eric “Erobb” Robbins left some of his community in awe. With a remarkable endurance of 25 hours and 58 minutes, he captivated his viewers on Twitch by keeping his promise to not go offline until he won a game of Call of Duty: Warzone.

Who is Erobb? Eric Lamont Robbins (27), also known as Erobb, has already built an impressive fan base on Twitch. With over 450,000 followers, he has become a well-known figure in the gaming community.

In contrast to his older brother Tyler1, who is known as the LoL macho, Erobb is a variety streamer who mainly spends time in Just Chatting while showcasing different games, primarily Call of Duty: Warzone.

However, a recent stream of the shooter did not go as planned.

Call of Duty: Warzone – The trailer that started it all

He had to stream CoD for over 24 hours

How did his stream go? Recently, Erobb announced that he would stay live on Twitch until he achieved a victory in Call of Duty: Warzone. The marathon stream took place last weekend, from August 20 to August 21, 2023, and was titled “not ending until warzone win!”.

However, securing a victory in Warzone proved to be more challenging for Erobb than expected. It took the Twitch streamer a whole 24 hours to achieve his goal. In total, he streamed nearly 26 hours straight (via sullygnome).

Throughout the entire broadcast, he experienced an emotional rollercoaster. From hectic and loud moments, where he aggressively jumped in front of the camera, to quiet moments playing snuggled under a blanket, he provided his viewers with a comprehensive experience.

We have embedded the big moment for you here:

Erobb’s marathon stream drew an average of 5,700 viewers and earned him over 1,000 new followers. He gained additional attention from Jake Lucky, who shared the event on Twitter. The post was seen by over 5.6 million people.

In the comments, numerous Twitter users amused themselves over the displayed skills of the streamer and joked that he would probably be busy for a few more years.

Erobb’s achievement may be impressive. However, it’s important to recognize that prolonged streaming without breaks can be a strain on the body and even pose health risks.

For both streamers and viewers, it is essential to consciously take time for rest and breaks. An experience that even the usually tough Tyler1 recently had to face:

„Only Known Because of Monte“ – Twitch Streamer Does Not Want to Stand in the Shadow of MontanaBlack Any Longer

With 20 years of experience, xRohat is already one of the larger German streamers on Twitch. He has almost 900,000 followers and averages around 5,000 viewers. He does not want MontanaBlack to be blamed for his success.

What kind of streamer is he? xRohat is a 20-year-old streamer who has been active on Twitch since December 2019. In 2020, he primarily showcased role-playing in GTA 5, where he portrayed the gangster “Big Sosa”.

When MontanaBlack, one of the biggest German streamers, joined in the summer of 2021, xRohat was able to immensely benefit from the renewed hype around the RPG: Between August and September 2021, his average viewers increased from 447 to 7,385 (via Sullygnome).

A boost from larger creators can be very valuable for lesser-known streamers, but for some, it can be difficult to break away from the big streamers. This is currently the case for the German streamer Chefstrobel, who is tired of being seen as the eternal sidekick of Trymacs.

Exactly this emotional video was the reason xRohat took to discuss his own experiences in a stream on August 19.

Start video

Streamer wants his own achievements to be recognized

What does xRohat say? The Twitch streamer is annoyed that he is only known to many people through MontanaBlack. Although he received a significant boost from the larger streamer, this applies to the entire roleplay scene at that time.

However, he has managed to retain viewers through his own performance. For example, he held a marathon stream in October 2021, reaching up to 50,000 concurrent viewers and gaining tens of thousands of new followers (via Sullygnome).

A montage of the stream is currently making the rounds on TikTok, and we have embedded it for you here:

What is the relationship with MontanaBlack like? xRohat explains that he has known MontanaBlack since before the GTA times. Back then, he played the party game Pummel Party with the larger streamer, but was consciously not live to avoid the impression of riding on MontanaBlack’s coattails.

Nevertheless, the 20-year-old has previously stated how grateful he is to MontanaBlack, but also to the YouTuber unsympathischTV, who included him in his videos when no one knew him yet. For xRohat, it mainly seems to be about not being reduced to MontanaBlack.

Thus, the 20-year-old has also proven to have a good sense for trends. At the beginning of the year, he was right at the forefront when half of Twitch-Germany was gripped by Minecraft fever and was able to place himself ahead of “Uncle Monte” in terms of watch time (via Sullygnome).

MontanaBlack, in turn, is well aware of his enormous reach and the influence that comes with it. The 35-year-old likes to talk about whom or what he has brought to prominence.

However, this comes at a price, as in return, the Twitch streamer demands respect. If he is not sufficiently shown respect, MontanaBlack can become quite unpleasant. This was evident during the release of his secret project, the energy drink Gönrgy:

MontanaBlack humiliates a 17-year-old in front of thousands of viewers on Twitch: “The most disrespectful thing I’ve ever experienced”

New ARPG is a competitor to Diablo 4, already considered a hidden gem on Steam – Shows new class that builds its own spells

Last Epoch has not officially been released yet, but it is already receiving a lot of recommendations during Early Access. At gamescom, the developers show the new update featuring one of the most exciting classes in the genre.

What kind of game is this? Last Epoch is a classic ARPG, putting it next to Diablo, Path of Exile, Wolcen, and others. You play as one of a total of 15 classes from an isometric perspective, battling through hordes of enemies to obtain better loot.

The special feature of the title is the time travel mechanic that gives it its name. As you progress through the story, you change timelines multiple times, giving the developers great freedom in designing the world. In addition to the commonly dark areas typical for the genre, there are also colorful excursions into the fauna from time to time.

Furthermore, Last Epoch boasts depth in its skill system without becoming unnecessarily complicated. Nevertheless, each skill has its own skill tree and can be customized and even fundamentally altered through up to 20 nodes.

You can find the new trailer from gamescom with an insight into the class “Runemaster” here:

Start video
Last Epoch introduces new class Runemaster at gamescom – Coming in September

The new Runemaster can trigger 40 different spells with just one button

What new features are being added? At gamescom, the developers from Eleventh Hour Games announced the major patch 0.9.2. The game will therefore remain in Early Access but will expand massively with the update.

In addition to numerous new monsters, items, and a completely new map mechanic, the studio is also releasing a localization in 8 additional languages, and yes, German is one of them. Until now, the game was only playable in English.

The big highlight, however, is the class Runemaster. It is an expansion of the Mage base class and will be accessible after about 10 to 15 hours of gameplay. The spell-crafting mage strongly resembles the game Magicka, as also mentioned by the studio’s CEO in the interview as inspiration.

What can the Runemaster do? If you have played Magicka, you should be familiar with the principle. For everyone else, here is a brief explanation. The Runemaster has access to skills from three different elements: fire, lightning, and ice.

Each skill leaves a rune of the respective element above you, and you can stack up to three of them. Depending on the order in which you combine the various elemental runes, a different ability comes out. Therefore, fire, lightning, and lightning create a different skill than lightning, ice, and lightning.

last epoch neues bild onl gamescom 2023

The whole system goes even deeper. Through the various nodes in your skills, you can choose and customize the elements of each individual ability. Additionally, there are also spells that are stronger when you keep the runes instead of using them.

The entire Runemaster system seems very well thought out and fun. It has the necessary depth to allow for diversity and builds, but it is never too complicated to provide beginners with a good class.

The developers themselves say about their creation: “The Runemaster offers more options and diversity within a single ability than some ARPGs have in a complete class.” You will be able to test it yourself starting from September 7. That’s when patch 0.9.2 is released, one of the last before the final release, which is planned for the end of 2023.

Last Epoch comes from fans, for fans: We are literally the community

Why is the game such a hidden gem? Last Epoch has been in Early Access on Steam since 2019 but has not yet made a major breakthrough. Nevertheless, the game is very well received by those who try it. Currently, 84% of the total 19,290 reviews are positive, a multiplayer patch was able to increase the number of players by over 4,000%.

The game’s founder also tells us in an interview why this is the case. Last Epoch originated from an idea he had while playing. He himself claims to have spent well over 10,000 hours in various ARPGs, but none satisfied him completely. So he started the project on reddit and sought like-minded individuals in the communities.

Within a short time, 8 other people joined him to develop Last Epoch in their spare time after work. Hence, the name of the studio, Eleventh Hour Games, is derived.

How does being a fan manifest? We asked. As an example, he mentions the dedicated skill tree that exists for each individual skill in the game. He explains that this is not something other games would do and it would have been much too much work. But the community wanted this feature, and they themselves also wanted it because they are fans of the genre: We are literally the community.

Have you played Last Epoch yourself? What do you think of the idea? And how do you find the Runemaster as a new class? Feel free to let us know in the comments here at MeinMMO.

Our editor Benedict Grothaus was already enthusiastic about the title back in March: A small ARPG on Steam is currently the perfect game to play while waiting for Diablo 4

Destiny 2 is soon discontinuing Seasons to prevent player burnout – This is what they are doing now

Destiny 2 went all out again as they revealed details about the future of the loot shooter in their latest reveal for “The Final Form.” One of the main points was what will happen after the “last” DLC, and that might please you.

How does Destiny 2 work? If you are interested in Destiny 2 and want to always play the latest content, you need to purchase a major DLC and four seasons each year. The biggest story events take place in the DLC, while the seasons are meant to entertain players until the next DLC – narratively as well as gameplay-wise.

This system has been in place by Bungie since 2019 with the release of the “Shadowkeep” DLC. Now, since the reveal of the upcoming DLC “The Final Form”, no seasons as you know them will be released. Instead, episodes will replace the old model.

Did you miss the latest trailer for the final form? Then we have just the right video for you:

Destiny 2: The Final Shape – The last DLC of the first saga

In 2024, there won’t be seasons, but episodes

What has Bungie revealed? The developer studio behind Destiny 2 has now developed a new and more fitting concept for the continuation of the loot shooter. Seasons will no longer be a topic in the Final Form. Instead, you will have episodes that will connect to the further events after the first major saga.

season-episoden-destiny2

Three episodes are already known, which you can expect by 2025:

  • Episode 1: Echoes, March – June 2024
  • Episode 2: Revenants, July – October 2024
  • Episode 3: Heresy, November 2024 – February 2025

What can I expect in an episode? So far, we can only glean from Bungie’s promo material what you can expect. Among the things are:

  • New quests
  • A new artifact
  • New weapons
  • New activities
  • A possible season pass
  • New armor

Additionally, Bungie talks about a larger amount of content that players will receive when they play an episode. Furthermore, every fan, regardless of how deep into the story they are, can participate in the episodes.

The crucial question is, however, how it is divided, as each episode is divided into three acts. Each act lasts 6 weeks and has the same symbols of content determination as Act 1 of the respective episode.

Bungie has wrapped the new content like the former seasons. So, if you buy the annual pass, it includes, among other things, the campaign for “The Final Form” as well as all three episodes.

Do you find the upcoming system better or do you prefer DLCs with the old seasons? Let us know in the comments!

Destiny 2: Update 7.2.0.1 is here – All patch notes and information

Today, a witch’s help is needed in Destiny 2 to find out if she can help them in the fight against the Witness. But before that, we need to alert you to a longer server downtime.

What you need to know today: The virtual battlefields in Destiny 2 will be shrouded in shadow for a longer period today to make room for the unveiling of something new. Season 22 is already waiting in the wings.

Update history for Update 7.2.0.1:

9:40 PM: Maintenance is officially over.

8:55 PM: The game is now running for everyone. We are already in the first mission. Bungie has, however, extended the maintenance to keep an eye on all possible bugs and quickly eliminate them.

7:30 PM: The data has been successfully downloaded. We are now waiting in line. The login services for Destiny 2 are still overloaded due to high traffic.

7:00 PM: The big showcase is over – here you can find a summary. Guardians are now waiting to get back into the game to explore Season 22. However, the services are still not available. The download is ready and is 12 GB on PC/Steam.

4:16 PM: Destiny 2 is going offline due to expected maintenance. Now we have to wait and we will keep you updated.

3:00 PM: Background maintenance is starting. Anyone who hasn’t picked up their engrams yet needs to hurry.

However, today’s server downtime is a bit different because Bungie will sweeten the downtime from 5:00 PM with a big showcase for “The Final Form”. You can find all information about it, the exact times, links, and Twitch Drops in this article: Destiny 2: Everything about the DLC “The Final Form” from 2024

While most of the details about the DLC “The Final Form” are still unknown, there is already more information about the Lightfall Season 22.

  • Season 22 will offer another new story mission for the Lightfall DLC and seasonal activities.
  • The structure of Season 22 will also be fundamentally changed, with optimized ritual playlists.
  • An Exo mission rotator will be introduced, offering new craftable Exo weapons.

But that’s not all. We have summarized the remaining details about Season 22 in this list for you, so you know what to expect. You can also see the seasonal armor there.

But before you can play the new Season 22 and its challenges, the server downtime is imminent. We will tell you everything you need to know about the server downtime of Destiny 2.

Start video
Destiny 2: Lightfall Season 22 – „Witch’s Season“

Maintenance on 22.08. – All times for server down

These times are important today: Bungie has informed players via Twitter about the exact times. The planned downtime currently lasts 2 hours and 45 minutes.

Here is the exact schedule for the maintenance:

  • At 3:00 PM, background maintenance will start on all platforms.
  • At around 4:15 PM, the servers will go offline. Players will be automatically kicked from the game.
  • During the downtime, Bungie will roll out the Season 22 Update 7.2.0.1. It will be gradually rolled out so that players on all platforms can download it.
  • At 5:00 PM, Bungie will start the preshow, and at 6:00 PM, the showcase will officially begin. Anyone who watches for 30 minutes can also snag an emblem as a Twitch drop.
  • The new Season 22 is expected to launch at 7:00 PM.
  • The maintenance will continue until 8:00 PM, but only in the background.
Important: As long as background maintenance is ongoing, there may be connection issues in the game. Additionally, due to the update and the launch of the new Season 22, there may be longer login times today. Therefore, you may have to expect queues upon login.

Also, please note that third-party applications as well as the official companion app may also not be accessible correctly for a while, meaning you won’t be able to use them. We therefore recommend preparing the character with which you want to start in Season 22 before the downtime.

What’s changing with Update 7.2.0.1 in Season 22

s22-ruestung-destiny2-1
These are the new armors of Season 22

This is what the Update 7.2.0.1 brings today: In addition to the content updates, the update will also include technical changes. Bungie will focus on identifying and fixing current stability issues with the 7.2 updates.

  • Bungie will start internal “chaos tests” of the new code they have added in order to make further improvements and verify the current bug fixes planned for Season 22 and beyond.

Otherwise, the following issues are still on the targeted list of known problems:

  • Due to a problem the loadouts function has been temporarily disabled. However, all existing loadouts will be saved and will be available again as soon as a fix can be provided.
  • Certain honored centurions in the lost sector “Golden Command” are unusually bright.
  • The shotgun “Windrose” is not displayed in the collections.
  • The exotic shotgun “Lord of Wolves” has no hip-fire reticle.
  • The hand cannon “Last Word” is missing the magazine, as some guardians are missing their ankles.
  • There is a switch bug with weapons that causes sniper rifles to shoot like machine guns and fusion rifles to reload with sniper rifles.
  • Player name changes are not endlessly customizable via bungie.net. Several “number guardians” continue to wait for the option to change their player name again instead of receiving the message “You have no name changes available”.

If you notice any other bugs in the game that are not listed here, feel free to let us know in our comment section.

Also note: With the start of the new season, the collected vendor engrams will be reset. This means you have to pick up your engrams that may still be stored there before the downtime and convert them into materials or bring them to your vault. Otherwise, they will be lost.

Will be reset: Crucible, Vanguard, Trials, Gambit, Gunmaster, Clan
Stays: Strategy table, sonar station, Iron Banner, inventory
Unclear: Target vendor (Failsafe, Eris, etc.), Cryptarch Rahool, and Xur (Eternity)

If you have not yet fully cleared out the old season pass of Season 19, this can only be done until today at 4:15 PM via your profile on the Bungie website.

Incident at gamescom 2023: Rude person storms Opening Night over GTA 6 – Host disappointed

The opening night of gamescom 2023 began with a scandal: Shortly after the opening, a fan stormed the stage, wanting to talk about Rockstar’s yet-to-be-released mammoth game GTA 6. Host Geoff Keighley referred him from the event.

That was the scandal: gamescom 2023 kicked off with the Opening Night Live, a major event where new games are introduced and numerous trailers are shown.

In the first few minutes, host Geoff Keighley set the stage for an epic evening, piano sounds could be heard and a trailer for Starfield was shown.

Keighley was just saying that he was allowed to play Starfield but not talk about it when a bearded man stormed the stage, pressured the host, and said in English with a noticeable accent that Bill Clinton wanted to play GTA 6.

With this trailer for Starfield, the Opening Night Live of gamescom 2023 in Cologne began:

gamescom host reacts calmly but expresses his great disappointment

This is how the host reacted: The host turned away from the man, so that his voice could only be heard in a choppy manner through Keighley’s microphone while security personnel removed him. The camera also quickly panned away from Keighley and the interrupter.

The audience booed.

Keighley thanked security and said:

“Very disappointing. This is so disappointing, this is such a special night for many, many developers. It is really disappointing to see someone behave this way. But we will continue with the show right away.”

According to initial information, the man was the same person who had already stormed the Sport1 show Doppelpass on Sunday, the 20th of August, and wanted to talk about GTA 6.

In one clip, you can see the incident:

Allusion to the incident at the Game Awards 2022

What was that about Bill Clinton? This is an allusion to the “Game Awards 2022”, where someone approached the developers of Elden Ring and said something about Bill Clinton. As the site Kotaku reports, the person turned out to be a well-known online troll.

The Game Awards held every December are hosted by Geoff Keighley, like the Opening Night of gamescom and the Summer Game Fest, the “replacement E3”.

Why is GTA 6 so special? GTA 6 seems to be a special case among all the games currently in development, as the “GTA” series has always been one of the most popular game series ever.

GTA 5 was released back in 2013, but remains popular even 10 years later thanks to the online mode GTA Online. Rockstar is keeping extremely quiet about part 6, even though players have been waiting for it for a long time and are soaking up every tidbit of information about the game.

A major leak in 2022 has seemingly only fueled interest in GTA 6 even more.

The news is generated in a breaking manner and is continuously updated.

Starfield opens gamescom 2023 with a atmospheric trailer – Watch it here

The gamescom 2023 started today with the Opening Night Live. The event was opened with an emotional live-action trailer for the new space role-playing game Starfield.

After a piano performance, Starfield presented a new trailer for its space role-playing game. In it, you can see how an astronaut returns from his journey through space and gives a badge to an excited child.

In the trailer, viewers also get a glimpse into the astronaut’s interstellar journey, navigating through an asteroid field while pursuing another ship and exploring a mysterious cave.

This gives viewers a small taste of the feeling of the single-player role-playing game Starfield, which promises players a galactic journey through endless freedom and 1,000 explorable planets.

When will Starfield be released? On September 6, 2023, Starfield will have its major release and will be available on PC, Steam, and Xbox Series X/S.

The early access of the game begins already on September 1, 2023.

  • Season 22 will offer another new story mission for the Lightfall DLC and seasonal activities.
  • The structure of Season 22 will also be fundamentally changed, optimizing the ritual playlists.

Start video
Destiny 2: Lightfall Season 22 – „Witch’s Season“

The key information about activities from August 22 to 29.

Nightfall

  • The Lightblade, in Savathûn’s Throne World
    • Players will fight against the “Lightblade” in the Nightfall strike this week. He is seen as Oryx’s potential successor and can move at a significant speed when he is angry. Defeat him before he uses the Light for nefarious purposes.
Nightfall weapon of the week: Trap, Arc fusion rifle

Crucible – This is the rotating PvP activity

  • In the first week of the season, the two modes Rift and Momentum Control will be running in PvP.

Endgame: Raid Challenges and Rotations

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

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

  • The weekly legacy raid is “Last Wish” with the weapon exotic “1000 Voices”
  • Furthermore, there are extra high-tier loot and the sword “Heartshadow” in the dungeon “Duality”.
  • The weekly exotic mission is “Sign” with the exotic “Tale of a Dead One”.

Weekly Activities

The “Deck of Whispers” of Season 22

In Season 22, Guardians will face new challenges that they must complete.

  • Altars of Summoning: Bring offerings in the otherworldly prison of the Witch Queen to summon loathsome enemies, defeat them, and gain their power.
  • Savathûn’s Pillar: Activate the pillar, defeat its overseers, and gain access to the Altars of Summoning.
The activities of Season 22 at a glance

Lightfall – Weekly Campaign Mission

  • “First Contact”
    • In the first mission, you establish first contact and learn about Strand for the very first time while strolling through Neomuna with your Guardian. Strand is the new subclass from Lightfall and then there’s something else you need to do …

Ascendant Challenge – Dreaming City

  • Petra Venj has this week’s 2nd Ascendant Challenge for you. You will find Petra and her quest offer at the location “The Shore” in the Dreaming City. Savathûn also has her fingers in this, as the curse begins to reclaim the sacred city of the Awoken at level 1.

All sources for top loot in Season 22 of Destiny 2

More Power level comes automatically: The power level will also be capped in Season 22, meaning that the hard power level cap in Destiny 2 remains unchanged at 1,810. This ensures no player is forced to perform excellently every week, but instead levels up automatically at all activities to the artifact level.

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

12 updates that players can expect in Season 22 of Destiny 2

This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.

Destiny 2: Showcase revealed the epic conclusion of the first saga of the DLC ‘The Final Shape’

Today, on August 22, Destiny 2 will reveal the end of its first major saga of Light and Darkness. The Destiny editorial team will be there live for you, providing you with all the important details and background information on the reveal stream in German.

That’s why the stream is so important: Tonight, the Guardians will learn where the fate of Destiny 2 will lead in 2024. Interested players can expect everything about the last chapter of the Light and Darkness saga in Bungie’s big reveal stream. MeinMMO will be live for you.

This is already known about the big showcase for “The Final Shape”:

  • Bungie will reveal the name of the new Season 22 and show the first trailer.
  • There will be information about the destination of “The Final Shape” and a preview of the new features.
  • With the DLC, a new ability will likely come into play, as a leak might suggest.
  • The new legacy raid, starting in Season 22 on September 1, will be introduced.
  • The Guardians will likely get a first small glimpse into the future of Destiny 2 and find out how the loot shooter will continue in 2025.
Here is the live ticker from MeinMMO for the Destiny 2 showcase:

Thus ends the Destiny 2 showcase – The Final Shape.

18:45

Joe Blackburn will speak the last words again. He prepares the Guardians for this shared journey. Much will change, but the Guardians can only triumph together. This final journey of the Light and Darkness saga begins on February 27, 2024. And the pricing model will also remain unchanged.

The Guardians are embarking on their final journey of the first saga.

18:30

Destiny 2 is fundamentally changing its season model. No more 4 seasons. Instead, episodes. Starting in 2024, they will replace the seasons as a new form of storytelling and as a format for content updates for Destiny 2.

Each episode will include new story content and rewards, including a new exotic mission, exotic weapon, and armor. The episodes will be divided into three acts. Every six weeks, a new act will be released, containing new stories, quests, activities, weapons, artifact mods, pass ranks, and rewards.

  • March – June 2024: Echoes, is Episode 1 in The Final Shape
  • July – October 2024: Revenant, is Episode 2 in The Final Shape
  • November 2024 – February 2025: Heretics, is Episode 3 in The Final Shape

18:30

As already suspected, Bungie will adjust the power level. It will remain insignificant. The Guardian with the highest power level in the team will set the power level. However, there will still be challenges, for example, for top-tier nightfalls or grandmaster raids.

18:30

Bungie has just introduced the legacy raid: It is Crota! Bungie believes it fits best in such a scarlet season.

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

18:25

Season 22 is called “Season of the Witch”

For Season 22, Bungie is making Eris “burst out.” To track the Witness, she must confront the Hive magic and accept a deal negotiated by Savathûn before her death. Immaru wants us to find our own witch. To fulfill part of the agreement, Guardians must master the Arcane and the power needed to defeat a god.

And for that, Eris is changing. This is her new form in Season 22:

Destiny 2: Lightfall Season 22 – „Witch’s Season“

18:20

Bungie talks about Cayde. He is the epitome of the gunslinger and the Guardians will have a friend by their side at the end. His role is clear. He will guide the Guardians in the Traveler, as he has always done.

18:13

Now it’s about the powers of the Guardians. The talk is about feeling grenades for Solar and Void-gravitational things with rechargeable shields that trigger explosions. Guardians will receive an axe, and the Arc Hunter gets a helicopter staff aspect.
The two moderators are having fun with the sounds.

Additionally, there will be new weapon families:

  • Rocket pistols and beyond, there will be many interesting weapons in The Final Shape.

18:08

The Guardians will embark on a journey into the interior of the Traveler. It is a massive world, and it contains the “pale heart.” It will react to the actions of the Guardians.

This is the pale heart, which the Guardians will discover in “The Final Shape”

18:00

The showcase begins

Joe Blackburn opens the stream with an invitation into the vacuum-sealed unknown. And our ghost asks one last time: “Rise!” for we must face the cruelest being in the universe.

The final battle is just about to begin.

Bungie shows the first trailer for The Final Shape – see the premiere here:

Start video
Destiny 2: The Final Shape – The last DLC of the first saga

17:57

The journey to The Final Shape begins, and Bungie announces: “Our journey continues!”
After that, the developer fades in an image in memory of Lance Reddick. The former voice of Commander Zavala passed away unexpectedly in 2023.

17:55

The Bungie team has succeeded. The stream is in German. Just in time before the actual showcase begins. On Twitch there is the German version.

17:50

10 minutes left for the German Guardians to solve the translation problem.
Meanwhile, Bungie shows how the Traveler has left humanity and Anna Bray fulfills the last wish of the great wargeist, so that he dies and thus saves humanity.

The Traveler faces its next battle against the Witness. The probably epically most impressive video from Season 19 in Destiny 2:

Start video
Destiny 2: The Witch Queen – Season 19 Finale Sequence

17:37

We have arrived at “Beyond Light.” Elsie Bray, Eris Morn, and the Vagabond bring the Guardians closer to Stasis and thus give them the power of Darkness. Subsequently, the grand story of the Witch Queen begins, and Zavala begins to doubt the Traveler while Ikora wants to do everything for humanity.

As for the stream: It is still not available in German. We will keep you updated.

2018 – Forsaken DLC: Cayde-6’s big moment “Back into Your Cages!” The Guardians are currently seeing the last battle of the greatest gunslinger in Destiny. And they will lose him again, this time in Portuguese, as the stream still does not have the German translation.

At least we don’t lose Cayde forever. He will play a role again in the new DLC “The Final Shape” in 2024:

Those were the times: Bungie continues to follow the timeline of Destiny 1. First Oryx, Eris’s promise not to fail, and now we see Cayde and Ikora at the beginning of the Red War. Zavala calls to arms and defends his team on the Tower of the Last City. The Cabal attack the Traveler and the Guardians will lose their light.
Goosebumps moments.

During the show, the first problems arise. The German livestream is not available on Twitch. And on YouTube, viewers have no sound.
We hope Bungie can fix this error before the showcase at 18:00.

For the German Destiny community, there will also be a separate stream on Twitch.tv/bungieDE with German subtitles, and we will also be live-tweeting so you don’t miss anything.

A special warm-up for the reveal stream was already provided by Bungie. Here, the Guardians could discover which special NPC will accompany them on their last adventure of the Light and Darkness saga:

Destiny 2 brings back its biggest star and best character after 5 years

5 years after Forsaken and the death of his character, Destiny 2 will once again bring back actor Nathan Fillion (Rookie, Castle) and his character Cayde-6. It is said that there can be no end to the saga without him.

What kind of character is this? Since 2014, there have been 3 important characters who are considered mentors for the 3 classes in Destiny 2. At the beginning of Destiny, all 3 were voiced by well-known actors from TV series:

  • Ikora Rey – the Warlock leader, initially voiced by Gina Torres and later by Mara Junot
  • Zavala – the boss of the Titans, voiced by the late Lance Reddick
  • Cayde-6 – the leader of the Hunters, voiced by the witty Nathan Fillion

However, Cayde-6 was the only one of these characters who met a spectacular end in the game for dramatic reasons. After 4 years of Destiny, at the beginning of the Forsaken expansion, Cayde-6 died heroically.

Guardians thought: Bungie would bring back Cayde-6 soon, but they did not

How was his death discussed? It was suspected back in 2018 that Bungie would not follow through and would soon bring back Cayde-6. Because his character was probably the most popular NPC in Destiny 2.

People joked that Cayde-6 would soon find his way back to Destiny 2 as “Cayde-7”.

But over the years, while Cayde played an indirect role, his sacrifice and fate were continually remembered, he himself and actor Nathan Fillion remained absent.

This will change: During the showcase for Destiny 2: The Final Shape, it was officially confirmed on August 22 that Nathan Fillion and Cayde-6 will return to Destiny 2. There were already signs of this back in May.

In the showcase for “The Final Shape,” it was said that there is no way to conclude the saga of Light and Darkness without Cayde-6 on board. He is the glue that holds Zavala and Ikora Rey together. His reappearance helps the characters reflect on their decisions made without him.

Developers stated that Fillion immediately slipped back into his role as Cayde-6. It was fantastic to watch him do so.

It should create the feeling that the “old band” is coming together again.

When does this happen? The expansion Destiny 2: “The Final Shape” will be released on February 27, 2024.

Steam: New game with open-world starts soon in beta – Reminds of The Last of Us, but with spider buses

Once Human is a co-op game that throws you into a post-apocalyptic world. It has now announced the beta on Steam. Anyone watching the corresponding trailer will rightly ask themselves: “What did I just see?” Because the trailer is bizarre, but that’s what makes it quite intriguing.

What is it about? Once Human is a multiplayer survival game set to release on Steam in an open horror world. In this post-apocalyptic world, everything has been infested by an alien creature called Stardust and has changed in bizarre ways.

You manage to harness the power of Stardust and fight, explore, and build a new home either alone or together.

Once Human Beta Announcement

What does the trailer show? You get a pretty good impression of the locations and creatures that await you. And if you find yourself speechless afterward, you’re not alone.

The first setting strongly resembles The Last of Us, with a strong sci-fi influence and otherworldly creatures, including giant rabbits wearing sunglasses and top hats.

You find yourself in a post-apocalyptic city that has mostly been reclaimed by nature. Heavily loaded and armed with rifles, you navigate through abandoned and overgrown areas.

The most bizarre location shown in the trailer is a colorful kindergarten where you are stared at by strange figures in white coats. Here, Once Human reveals just a bit of the gameplay: You can see the character aiming at an enemy, which we cannot see yet.

The creatures shown in brief moments afterward are strange. You see spider-legged buses, giant tentacled creatures, and a sort of polar bear with a glowing belly.

The characters sometimes have monitors for heads, suggesting they are customizable. As a small bonus, you get a brief glimpse of the character fishing.

When does the beta start? The beta is scheduled for Winter 2023. How and when you can register for it has not yet been announced by the developer.

Diablo 4: Player finds one of the best items, is directly insulted and pitied

The Harlequin Crown, or “Shako,” is the dream of many players in Diablo 4. A player has now secured the rare hat – unfortunately with the worst roll possible. This causes envy on one side and mockery on the other.

What kind of item is this:

Diablo 4: What is Shako and why does everyone want it?
von Benedict Grothaus

That’s why Shako is still bad for the player: On Reddit, the user Sasuke963_ posted a post showcasing his drop. With an item power of 820 and pretty good rolls, the helmet is actually very decent.

Only the damage reduction, the (still) best defensive stat in the game, is as bad as it can be: from the 10-20%, the player received a glorious 10%. Therefore, the item is still better than most other helmets, but this stat is a dampener.

The reactions on Reddit are mostly insults that are rather meant in jest. In the top comment, it even says: “I want to say many nasty things to you, but you are already getting enough of that. So, congratulations. You jerk.”

Sasuke963_ himself thanks everyone, even for the mockery and the “insults,” but also mentions: the roll could have been better. This leads to a discussion about the system itself.

“This is a good aspect of item design”

The comment from I_heart_boobs_a_lot received over 1,300 upvotes. The user describes the idea of Uber Uniques as redundant if they do not come with a max roll by definition. They should be the best that the game has to offer.

Other players argue that the idea of variable stats on such rare items is actually good for design. What rather bothers them is the limited trading. In the current system, Uber Uniques are something to show off – but only if they are well-rolled.

A compromise could be to set the limits closer together. Instead of 10-20% in the example of Shako, 15-20% would be better. Higher limits are only good if the item were not as extremely rare as it is now.

Generally, the idea of Uber Uniques is, however, controversial in the community. For items that were advertised as the pinnacle for any build, they are far too less decisive in reality for most players:

The gamer PC of a player dies after 20 minutes because he makes a really dumb mistake

The ex-girlfriend pours water over a gaming PC to annoy her ex-boyfriend. But the biggest problem is that the owner turns the PC back on immediately.

Our title image is a stock image.

Water and technology usually do not get along. A gamer had to experience this recently. According to a reddit post, he broke up with his girlfriend in an unpleasant way. However, she did not hesitate to pour water over her ex-boyfriend’s PC in anger once more.

But the biggest mistake was made by the owner afterwards. He turned on his computer and likely caused a short circuit.

When in contact with water, hardware should be dried

What is the problem now? The gamer explained that he restarted his gaming PC after the water incident. But now his computer crashes every 20 minutes.

Many users from the community explained to him that he should not have turned the gaming PC on again. One user with many upvotes clearly states:

Guys, learn from this … person. Never turn on wet electronics. Your device will likely survive if it has just come into contact with water or soda. Do not turn it on, clean it with 90% or more alcohol, and let it dry thoroughly. Even if it doesn’t look bad, we are talking about small parts that can be easily damaged.

Why don’t water and technology get along? In regular tap water or sparkling water, there are particles called ions, often coming from salts. You cannot see them with the naked eye. These ions make the water conductive (via lenntech.de). Pure water does not occur like this in nature, as there are often ions from salts dissolved in the water in nature.

These particles also cause a short circuit in your device if your phone takes a bath or you pour a glass of sparkling water over your computer. Distilled water is an exception.

If you have spilled not only water but also cola or juice on your hardware, additional problems arise. Because juice and cola contain sugar, which can then deposit on the hardware and damage solder points or sensitive traces.

If you turn on your system now, in the most annoying case, you will have such a short circuit. In the best case, your hardware may still start, but many damages you cannot recognize with the naked eye.

In case of water in the PC: Stay calm

What should I do if water lands on my PC? Stay calm and let things dry first. And especially do not start the PC out of panic because you want to know if everything still works. Because that will likely cause a short circuit in the worst case, damaging your components.

In the next step, you should let your hardware dry. Ideally, you should disassemble your PC and spread the parts out. Then the components can dry faster than in a tight PC case.

But water can damage hardware and components not only. A YouTuber put his gaming PC in an aquarium. Why the hardware does not get damaged, you can read in the following article on MeinMMO:
