The new co-op RPG Wayfinder from publisher Digital Extremes will go into Early Access in a few days. The developers provided an outlook on how the housing system will work in the game.
When does Wayfinder launch in Early Access? On August 15, 2023, Wayfinder will launch in Early Access and will be available for PS4, PS5, and PC platforms.
After the game was playable in beta, a new gameplay aspect will now be integrated with Early Access: apartments and thus housing. You will also have the opportunity to keep a pet.
Here you can see a trailer for Wayfinder:

With Early Access, housing will be possible in Wayfinder
In the first developer livestream and on their website, the game provided more information about what housing will offer in the Early Access version of Wayfinder:
Decorations
Pets
Artifacts and trophies
You can place your decoration items in the room as you like and create a cozy home for yourself. Different furniture is available to you, from bookshelves to various light sources. These items can be obtained during the gameplay and earned through the Reward Tower.
Besides, you can also place a furry roommate in the room who will be waiting for you when you return from your travels. And yes, you can pet your creature.
Moreover, the earned artifacts and trophies that you can display in your apartment should also have an impact on your adventures in the game world. Any artifacts and trophies that affect gameplay can be earned in the game.
Here you can see the entire developer livestream of Wayfinder from July 21, 2023 on YouTube:

What will be added later? Beyond Early Access, the developers plan to further expand housing in Wayfinder.
The apartments should eventually become whole neighborhoods where you can choose and buy your own land to live next to your friends. Special neighborhood quests, shared buffs, and guild neighborhoods are also planned for the future.
Additionally, your pets should be able to accompany you when you leave the house later on. More decorative items like floors and wallpapers are expected to follow.
Regular updates are also planned, bringing you new items each season. During limited-time events, you will be able to earn special rewards.
To gain Early Access to Wayfinder, you need to purchase a so-called Founder Pack, for which you will pay between €17.99 and €129.99 depending on the pack (via playwayfinder).
In addition to access to the game, the packs include exclusive items and customization options for the game characters.
If you are still unsure whether Wayfinder is the right game for you, you can find a play report on the beta version of the game:
Shortly before the release of Baldur’s Gate 3, the developers gave us access to the full game. MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus has taken a detailed look around (once again) and has already found and dealt with his personal nemesis.
Penis. There, please, I said it. Satisfied? When we finally received the press version of Baldur’s Gate 3, my first step was to the character editor. Just out of curiosity to see what crazy possibilities there are.
Now that we’ve got the obligatory part behind us, I want to finally get to my actual story. Since Monday, I’ve been allowed to take a look at the full version of Baldur’s Gate 3 with a special press build. Of course, that’s not enough to thoroughly test such a massive game.
In Baldur’s Gate 3, so much crazy stuff happens back-to-back that I had difficulty deciding on an anecdote. The one with that damn witch has occupied me the longest. And by Lolth, the game knows how to make such situations special!
Warning:I will try to keep the text as spoiler-free as possible. Nonetheless, be warned: my impressions may contain at least some information from the first act! Here’s a bear sex scene to distance from the experience report:

In addition to your own character, there are the 7 “Origins”, meaning characters that have a pre-set story that is told in the world. I opted to play a mad bloodthirsty murderer who can rarely suppress his urges.
I actually thought I would be very alone very quickly with that. But Larian, the developers of Baldur’s Gate 3, somehow have an even darker sense of humor than I do. No matter what I do, no matter how evil I am: somehow my group always approves.
In one situation, a wizard is to be rescued from an unstable portal and reaches out his hand in desperation. As the “Dark Urge”, I only had the option to brutally chop off the hand instead. Two people from my party liked that. From then on, my very crazy journey began.
A possible cure is promised by a witch, or hag. D&D players might know these beasts as “Hag”. They are essentially swamp witches who offer “help” but always demand absurd counter-performance.
My hag wanted one of my eyes. Since I was already on the completely mad path, I agreed. The result:
She stabs her claw into my eye and pulls it out.
She kisses the eye and puts it back into my skull.
Now I have a cloudy eye and a bonus to intimidation but a penalty in fights against hags.
I expected definitely worse. But the bill was to come later, as she could not remove my parasite. Still, she claimed to have held her part of the agreement. Since I disagreed, a legal dispute ensued.
That was definitely as painful as it looks.
Now I have a nice new eye.
Without combat: Sometimes a simple shove is the solution
I fought my way through a dungeon afterwards for hours that is actually above my level. Baldur’s Gate 3 allows for completely unconventional approaches.
In my case, this meant that I simply murdered a guard from behind instead of getting caught in a big fight, and robbed the witch before the fight. Then I surprised her on a bridge.
Still, she easily defeated me in direct combat for another 2 hours, despite excellent planning. At some point, the saving idea came to me: I don’t actually have to fight her.
Since she is standing on a bridge anyway, I simply placed my strongest character in front of her and used the special ability “Push”. The witch sailed into the dark hole before she could fight back, I won, and I can finally continue my killing spree in peace.
This is how it all ended
The end of the quest is strangely even more bizarre because I was originally supposed to rescue a young woman too. But she wasn’t as grateful as I thought. She wanted the witch to bring back her husband.
As a D&D veteran, I already knew that this wouldn’t go as she wished. He would have come back as a zombie, half rotten and without a brain. That’s exactly what happened when I found the wand that was supposed to bring this about.
This shows how morbid the game can be at times: the young woman, perhaps in her early 20s, gratefully took the wand and her zombie husband to start a new life in Baldur’s Gate. Don’t ask…

Creative solutions instead of stressful boss mechanics
What made this quest so special for me is that I didn’t expect all this to happen. I actually just intended to take a look at what happens – and then reload the game. After all, I want to keep my eyes.
The dialogue and the resulting possibilities were so exciting that I thought: Oh come on, explore a bit more. Eventually, the save would have gone so far back, and I liked the story so much that I kept it all. This has happened to me more frequently while playing now.
On top of that, the fight reminded me that I am not playing Dark Souls or something like that here. I don’t have to learn mechanics or prepare for fights by finding the right poison and spell against the boss. I just need to find a way to avoid preparation – like a cliff.
Such situations exist in Baldur’s Gate 3 in droves:
Instead of picking a lock, I can also break the door down or stack boxes to climb over a nearby wall.
Does an NPC charge me too much money for his goods? I’ll just steal it back.
If the druid in my group isn’t strong enough for a long jump, he simply transforms into a cat and lets himself be thrown over the abyss by the barbarian.
At the end of the test, I played coop with MeinMMO editor-in-chief Leya Jankowski and colleague Sophia Weiss. The player experience here is completely different from solo since many more situations arise unplanned.
This started right away as Sophia almost knocked me out during the tutorial with her monk. With a thoughtless click, she dealt me a palm strike, and I was left with just one hit point, just before an important fight. For context:
To prevent this from becoming a human resources case, editor-in-chief Leya simply stepped in shortly thereafter – as a majestic druid in bear form. Together we explored the world and almost died during the first major battle because the thick – uh, hefty – bear fell through a fragile spot right into a bunch of enemies that one would ideally fight separately.
It is extremely hard to put into words what makes games like Baldur’s Gate 3 so good. Anecdotes like these best reflect why the RPG is unbelievably fun and why it will certainly keep me engaged for over 100 hours.
Such stories are not exception situations but happen all the time. They fit into the world, and depending on how you approach the game, you can have a completely different experience. What I can only advise everyone at the moment: don’t try to be too “good”. No one will thank you for that.
Today, Baldur’s Gate 3 is released for PC (Steam, GOG). However, those who want to start the game will be greeted with a notification: Your Nvidia driver is outdated. If you want to prevent this, make sure to use the forced waiting time now.
What about the release of Baldur’s Gate 3?
Since 5 PM on August 3rd, you can finally download the full version of Baldur’s Gate 3 for PC.
This is what you should do now: Since there was no preload for Baldur’s Gate 3, you have to download the entire 122 GB right before playing. Depending on your connection, this may take several hours or even all night.
After that, you might be greeted by an annoying window saying that your graphics card driver is outdated. So make use of the time you have to wait anyway for another download:
You do not have to restart your PC after installing the driver, if you are just installing the new version. Experience will take care of most steps for you.

Baldur’s Gate 3: The essentials for getting started
Once you have the latest graphics card driver and Baldur’s Gate 3 installed, you can dive straight into the RPG. Either create your own character or play as one of the “Origins” that follow a pre-designed story.
During character creation, you can choose one of the 11 races and pick one of 12 classes. Your choice can have implications on your gameplay as different classes and races can react differently in certain situations.
Basically, you can’t really do anything “wrong.” Baldur’s Gate 3 is a role-playing game where your actions have specific consequences. Almost every playthrough is different, the game is said to have even 17,000 different endings.
For many fans, it is therefore important to go into the game with as little previous knowledge as possible and to discover the entire world for themselves. There are countless situations that can be solved differently and companions who either agree with you or do not. A particular situation stayed in my memory during the playtest:
Baldur’s Gate 3 has launched on Steam, but what are the system requirements? MeinMMO presents the details and explains what you need to consider.
With Baldur’s Gate, a new RPG officially launched on Steam from Early Access on August 3, 2023. But how powerful does my gaming PC need to be if I want to enjoy the game in all its glory?
MeinMMO presents the official system requirements and explains what you need to know.

Baldur’s Gate 3: Developers give 30 minutes of tips on all classes
What do the data mean? “Minimum requirements” means that you can at least play the game. Often this means gaming in 720p (HD) at 30 FPS and low settings. Therefore, you should not expect too much.
“Recommended requirements” means that you can usually play the game at high details.
High requirements for storage space, less for graphics card and processor
What do I need for a PC? The system requirements are relatively low for entry. Both the GTX 970 and the RX 480 (4 GB) have been on the market for several years, and many players have a better graphics card installed according to Steam surveys.
At least SSDs and hard drives (HDDs) are not really expensive and are a relatively cheap upgrade compared to upgrading the graphics card or processor.
Is the game worth it? Whether the game is worth it for you can be read in the following article on MeinMMO. Here we explain the pros and cons of the RPG in detail:
In Baldur’s Gate 3 you have the choice of 11 different races when creating your own character. MeinMMO helps you decide – or if you’re simply curious.

Personality Quiz: Which race for your character?
Is my choice of race important? Not fundamentally. The choice is primarily about aesthetics and the background of the race.
This also means that you can easily play completely unconventional combinations like half-orc rogues, halfling barbarians, or elf warlocks without any problems. You will hardly have any disadvantages from it.
However, you may only choose a race if you are not playing any of the “Origins,” that is, the pre-made characters with their own stories. The exception is the “dark urge,” a mad murderer that you can customize.
Otherwise, the race is especially important if you want to pursue a very specific fantasy. “Classic” combinations like elf druids and dwarf paladins are still popular today. Paladins are even the most popular class among GameStar readers.
We, together with our colleagues from GameStar, have prepared a few questions to help you choose your race. With a click, you can select an answer, and at the end, we will tell you what suits you best. If you want to repeat the quiz, just refresh the page. Have fun!
By the way, after choosing the race, you have a ton of customization options for appearance. This ranges from typical features like hair color and body type to more specialized options like freckles and vitiligo up to the selection of your primary sex organs. Yes, it’s possible, and it can even be important in the game:
Otherwise, it may happen that certain characters react differently to you if you belong to a certain race. Such things happen frequently in role-playing games, but we cannot yet say whether this will also be the case in Baldur’s Gate 3.

A player survives in the endgame of Diablo 4 with 1 HP against overly strong enemies, only to be disappointed by his loot.
Diablo 4 can sometimes be quite challenging. Just a moment ago, you were casually smashing a few demons and gathering your loot, when suddenly you find yourself in the midst of seemingly endless hordes of enemies, fighting for your survival. As if the battle wasn’t stressful enough, you run out of health potions – your character is already staring death in the face.
A Reddit user found himself in a similar situation in Diablo 4 and dramatically managed to save himself to the long-awaited loot. However, it was hardly worth mentioning.
What happened to the player? In a clip posted on Reddit, the user “petitbeurre” is overwhelmed by countless enemies. He is currently playing the world event Helltide in the endgame of Diablo 4 on world tier 3 and is just a few hit points away from death.
For almost half a minute, petitbeurre dodges all attacks from the aggressively inclined creatures that are out for his life. He has only 1 HP left and no health potions in his inventory. But petitbeurre does well, evading hits and additionally using his sorceress’s abilities to gain distance.
About 20 seconds before the end of the event, he finds the desperately needed healing, shortly thereafter making it to the coveted Helltide Chest and opens the “Tormented Gifts” for 250 of his collected embers.

Was the fight worth it? No, while petitbeurre survived the Helltide, the chest he opened at the end of the clip disappointed him. It contained:
Scrimshaw Band (Holy)
2 Forgotten Souls
2 Fiend Roses
1 Forgotten Soul
Elder Staff (Holy)
Caldean Plate (Holy)
493 Gold
A legendary amulet (Holy)
The highlight of the chest was the one legendary amulet that dropped. However, that also failed to impress. A commentator also writes: “For a holy Legendary… man, the game is frustrating,” to which petitbeurre responds: “Moreover, it was garbage.”

When should I break down or sell items in Diablo 4?
Are Helltide events worth it? Helltide events promise that you will get items with high item power as well as some new “Holy” or “Embraced” gear.
But apart from the loot, which can sometimes be disappointing, you can mainly receive the materials “Devil’s Rose” and “Lost Souls” here. You need them to upgrade and customize your gear.

Who is Stoopzz? Stoopzz is a well-respected YouTuber and Twitch streamer with a loyal following of 175,668 followers. Particularly through his activities in games like Black Desert, Lost Ark, and Honkai: Star Rail, he has made a name for himself in the gaming scene and has excited many viewers.

Hip fracture costs him €55,000 – Stoopzz is shattered
What happened? Recently, Stoopzz suffered a serious accident in Mexico, resulting in a hip fracture. The injury required urgent surgery. The hospital stay unexpectedly cost him €55,000.
In an emotional stream, Stoopzz revealed that he does not remember the operation clearly. However, he estimates that about 39-42 stitches were needed to close the wound from the lower part of his thigh to his hip.
Unfortunately, not everything went smoothly. His body required several blood transfusions because he did not absorb them well. According to his statements, things apparently went wrong, and overall it was not an enjoyable stay in the hospital.
How is he doing now? Despite the difficulties, Stoopzz has made it home and used his stream to inform his viewers about his health status. From his wheelchair, he reported on the strenuous challenges he had to face.
He showed impressive progress, such as standing up from the wheelchair independently and returning to everyday activities like picking up objects. These achievements, however small they may seem, represent enormous progress in Stoopzz’s recovery and fill him with pride.
What happened in his last stream? During the stream, Stoopzz experiences an overwhelming wave of support from his audience. Within the first 15 minutes of the stream, a solid 500 new subscribers rush in to help cover some of the high operation costs. In total, over 1,000 new subscribers joined in his 3-hour stream, along with some other generous donations from his fans.
Moved by the support and solidarity of his community, Stoopzz breaks down in tears. He repeatedly emphasizes how grateful he is for his community and for his significant progress in his recovery.
Nevertheless, Stoopzz is aware that he still has a long road to recovery ahead. He says he does not know how long he will still be bound to the wheelchair and how difficult the journey will be until he can return to his regular daily life.
Amid the uncertainties about the future of his recovery, Stoopzz remains optimistic, firmly believing that he will look forward to the future and that he wants to keep his community updated on how he and his progress are doing.

A big fan of Baldur’s Gate 3 reports on the day of the early access release that he has been diagnosed with cancer. How he is doing now with the full release and how he captured the hearts of the players is reported by MeinMMO.
What happened 3 years ago? A notable Reddit user named “Kristalizze” (24) caused an emotional stir in the community during the early access release of Baldur’s Gate 3 in October 2020.
At a time when many were excitedly awaiting the game’s launch, Kristalizze shared that he had just received the shocking diagnosis of cancer. Undeterred by the upcoming challenges that would demand surgery and further treatments from him, he expressed his determination to take on this fight.
You can find a small glimpse of Baldur’s Gate 3 here:

“A new beginning for me and my character!”
He wrote: “I have cancer and today I will undergo surgery to finally get rid of it (if all goes well) and later I will celebrate it with BG3. Today is a wonderful day! A new beginning for me and my character, we will overcome every obstacle we face. But not alone, rather with my friends, loved ones, and my family.”
The heartfelt words of Kristalizze deeply moved many players and Reddit users. Numerous well wishes for recovery flooded the comments, accompanied by supportive messages from other users who were fighting similar battles against cancer.
What has happened in the meantime? Despite all determination, the surgery was unfortunately not the hoped-for cure for Kristalizze. Several chemotherapy sessions and further procedures followed, while he continued to report in the Reddit community.
He never lost faith and kept numerous Reddit users updated about his condition. The wave of solidarity and support deeply impressed Kristalizze and helped him maintain hope in his darkest moments.
“Your comments are so beautiful that I started to cry!”
How is Kristalizze doing now? Well, just in time for the full release of Baldur’s Gate 3, Kristalizze announces joyful news: He has beaten cancer and is full of vitality and energy. The moments of self-doubt and fear he experienced during his journey are now forgotten, as he declares that he has triumphed over the disease.
In touching words, he confesses that tears of emotion flowed when he saw the immense love and support that was shown to him during his difficult times.
He is now planning to create a new character in Baldur’s Gate 3 that reflects his newfound strength and determination. He declares a true battle cry: “I will master every challenge in the game, and no one will escape unscathed who dares to mess with my body or my character.”
The story of Kristalizze shows that true heroes exist not only in digital worlds but also in real life. He has given many users hope and courage by taking them on his fight against cancer.
In August, a new chapter will be opened in the world of Destiny 2. A podcast has revealed that the upcoming seasons of the loot shooter will finally bring the neglected modes PvP and Gambit into focus. However, the excitement is somewhat tempered, as some players are skeptical.
This has rekindled hopes: Since the release of Destiny 2, Guardians have had a close connection to PvP and Gambit. But in recent months, the focus of the loot shooter seemed to be shifting away from these two game modes, while other aspects of the game took the spotlight.
The community has been vocal for years, demanding improvements and more attention for both PvP and Gambit.
Some even stated that Bungie has obviously sacrificed its love for these activities in favor of its new IP and that they might therefore let them die completely in Destiny 2.
But it doesn’t look like that. Just before the big showcase in August, Bungie has finally given the long-awaited signal that the two modes could still experience a glorious renaissance.
Currently, the Guardians are still celebrating the last week of the Solstice and bringing their armors to glow:
Start video
Destiny 2 ignites the fires in the Solstice event 2023
Gambit and PvP-focused content announced
Bungie shared in the interview: The teaser revealed in the “The Last Word” Podcast offered Guardians a glimpse of what will soon come to the game.
During the podcast, Travis Northup revealed that he was recently invited to a round of interviews with the developers of Destiny 2. He specifically inquired about the two neglected modes and asked whether Bungie is planning seasonal PvP or Gambit-oriented activities to revitalize these activities.
Currently, these modes do not contribute much to the seasons in Destiny 2 as far as seasonal activities are concerned. Participating in the playlists is essential to obtain the season title and master all weekly challenges. But that’s about it.
In response, Bungie stated the following:
We have nothing to announce today, but we will present a wealth of information about the seasonal model regarding Gambit and PvP-focused content at the Destiny 2 Showcase [on August 22].
Bungie has also confirmed that the upcoming seasons in Destiny 2 will adopt the same seasonal bonus upgrade system for the NPC vendors. Many Guardians hope this won’t be the only change for the upcoming seasons.
Guardians are cautious with overly hopeful expectations
This is why the community is skeptical: For many players, new maps, exciting game modes, and possibly an overhauled reward system would already be a first step to elevate the experience in PvP and Gambit to a new level. Ideally even more.
However, the deep disappointment over the neglect of these modes in recent years has also led to significant skepticism among the Guardians. Some no longer believe that the changes will be anything interesting, like Guardian ArcticBear.
He commented on the info from the podcast via Twitter:
Here we go again. Bungie is once again misleading us and making us believe that PvP will receive an astounding “new focus” to keep engaged PvP players interested and waiting. But it won’t happen, at most there will be a revamped thing that will again be neglected for years.
When are the changes coming to the game? The small teaser made it clear that Bungie will do something in the last two Lightfall seasons. Until then, they will keep quiet and reveal more details during the big showcase on August 22 at 7:00 PM.
It will be up to Bungie to meet expectations in order to shed more light on PvP and Gambit. If the developer takes this chance, the upcoming seasons of Destiny 2 might hold a better time for the Guardians in these playlists.
Do you believe that Bungie will actually implement sustainable improvements for PvP and Gambit this time? Or are you also skeptical given past disappointments? Feel free to leave your thoughts as players in the comments.
Joe Blackburn, Bungie’s Game Director for Destiny 2, will prepare the Guardians today in a blog post for the upcoming content. We have also summarized everything important about the big “The Final Form” showcase in August for you:
Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller is one of the larger German streamers on Twitch, but with a special event, he managed to break into the international Top 10 in July 2023. Now he reflects on his record stream.
What was the event about? From July 20 to July 25, the third edition of the Reddit event r/place took place. This is an interactive canvas where users can place colorful pixels to create art together.
You can find all the information about the event here:
The German Twitch streamer Kevin “Papaplatte” Teller was also part of this year’s r/place and took over the canvas completely. In a video, he summarizes how he could win the big pixel war.
Even Félix “xQc” Lengyel, who was long the absolute number 1 on Twitch, fought for his place on the canvas.

Old friends and new enemies in the pixel war
How did Papaplatte perform in r/place? On the first day of his participation, the Twitch streamer went into it a bit aimlessly. Here he incited the French against his Twitch colleague Rumathra, there he pixelated the iconic red-and-white “Döner Kebab” logo – was that the Polish flag? Oops.
When Papaplatte took over the Indian flag, the strength of his community already showed: In no time, they created a white space that the Twitch streamer could fill as he pleased. Hardly had he decided on the logo of the children’s show “Toggo,” when his viewers started pixeling away.
Then, Papaplatte started a small feud with Turkey, as they had attacked a memorial for the deceased YouTuber Technoblade with their flag. Satisfied with his daily performance, the Twitch streamer ended the day, only to find out the next morning that his artworks had been erased overnight.
How he changed his strategy: The 26-year-old began to proceed more thoughtfully: He formed alliances and teamed up with other communities, but also recognized when he had to give in. In addition, the Twitch streamer acted cleverly and got his opponents to attack other works instead of his own.
With his actions, Papaplatte attracted international attention, as he allied with the American streamer Mizkif against the “My Little Pony” faction or teamed up with the Spanish streamer Rubius after initially attacking him.
How the event affected the streamer: Papaplatte was able to achieve absolute record numbers with r/place: With over 120,000 concurrent viewers and more than 35,000 subscribers, he reached a new personal best (via TwitchTracker).
How many viewers were only there to complain about the streamer after he attacked the artwork of their community remains to be seen.
In Germany, the pixel war temporarily secured Papaplatte the number 1 spot as the most-watched streamer, while internationally he landed in 4th place.
The event had such a significant impact that the streamer ranked 9th for the month of July 2023 overall. In comparison: Last month, Papaplatte was still in 33rd place (via sullygnome). For Papaplatte, this was something special.
Especially impressive: Papaplatte is considered by some to be “the German xQc.” The original only ranked 15th in July. However, he also streamed less on Twitch, as he is splitting his time between the two platforms since his million-dollar deal with the competing platform Kick.
In his video, Papaplatte thanks everyone who supported him and pixelated diligently: It was a wonderful weekend and his most successful stream ever.
And even the video about his success became a success: Because the Twitch streamer landed 4th in the YouTube Trends.
In the past, Papaplatte had already shown that he has a solid community, and in addition, he is capable of sudden growth. You can read here how he made the jump into the top 10 in 2021:
A new hidden toy has been found in World of Warcraft. You can unlock it in just a few minutes – and we will show you how to do it.
World of Warcraft is full of little secrets. Even with Patch 10.1.5 Rifts in Time, Blizzard has added a few of them to the game. One of them is a toy that hides behind a small but fine secret: The Investigator’s Pocket Watch.
What kind of toy is this? The Investigator’s Pocket Watch, unlike many other toys, has no cooldown and lasts for 60 minutes. That alone is a rarity in WoW, where toys usually have short durations with long cooldowns. When used, your character is shrouded in the sands of time, gaining a bronze-golden hue and becoming transparent – more so on the legs than on the torso.
The effect is cool – not just for role players.
This appearance is familiar from bronze dragons or enemies that act from another timeline.
The actual secret can be solved in just under two minutes – provided you have already completed the preceding questline.
Step 1: Complete the Quests
Head to the coordinates 55 / 82 in the Thaldraszus area. There are several NPCs around a fountain with some questlines for you. It’s best to complete them all since only then will the Mecha-Gnome Melly Teletone move to her new position.
The questlines are all quite short but fun. If you’re not in a hurry, take your time with them as they contain some funny stories.
Step 2: Reveal the Secret
Once you have completed the quests, travel to the “Everywhen Inn”. In this inn, Chromie or other NPCs give you a daily quest every day. It’s slightly above the fountain where you were before. Ignore the quest and instead head to the upper floor of the inn on the right side.
Melly Teletone is sitting with her Vulpera friend above in the inn.
There you can see Melly Teletone sitting on a chair. Talk to her and tell her that you want to borrow the “Metronograph”. You will then receive “Melly’s Metronograph+++” as long as you stay in the inn.
Now head back down to the lower level of the inn and go to the innkeeper Bob. Activate the Metronograph here.
Step 3: Blob’s Beverages
If you did everything correctly, there should now be a large golden slime next to the innkeeper Bob – the innkeeper Blob from another timeline.
Innkeeper “Blob” sells very special tea.
Talk to him and buy “Infinitea”.
Attention: A timer starts running from the moment of purchase, as the drink remains in your inventory for only 30 seconds!
Step 4: Defeat the Investigator
Leave the inn with the Infinitea in hand, hop on your dragon, and fly immediately to the coordinates 54 / 85. This is at the base of a waterfall. Drink your Infinitea here and you will receive a temporary buff that allows you to discover a grandfather clock in the water that you can click on.
Once you click the clock, the “Temporal Investigator” spawns – a crocodile from another timeline. Be careful, the mob has a lot of health points and bites hard. You will need good gear or a group to be able to defeat the mob.
The Temporal Investigator has many health points and hits hard. You need solid gear or a group.
Once you have defeated the Temporal Investigator, he should definitely drop the Investigator’s Pocket Watch for you, which you can immediately add to your collection.
Some players report that the pocket watch does not drop directly on the first kill. However, this seemed to be a bug that has since been fixed. If you don’t get the watch on the first day, just try again the next day.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
Season 5 has again brought some changes for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone. In addition to new weapons and bug fixes for audio, there were minor adjustments made to sliding and jumping. For some players, sliding is a highlight they have been waiting for a long time.
What has changed with sliding? Activision states in the patch notes for Season 5 that the time for sliding has been reduced and the speed increased. Thus, players slide the same distance in a shorter time.
In a video, user dreamstrike compares the sliding from Season 4 with the sliding from Season 5. Before the buff, players needed 0.616 seconds before they could shoot again after sliding.
After the update, it is only 0.550 seconds. The difference may not seem particularly large in the bare numbers, but in the game itself, it is clearly felt how much faster the weapon can be brought back up:

Due to the faster sliding, players can shoot faster again after the maneuver. Thus, they gain valuable moments in a heated exchange of fire that can make the difference between victory and defeat.
In the Reddit forum, a player shows what the new gameplay feels like. He is excited about the faster sliding and thinks it is a really good buff. For other players, the faster sliding is even “the best buff of the update” (via reddit.com).
Players would have preferred it earlier
In the comments, many players are glad that sliding has been improved. However, many are bothered that the buff comes just before the release of a possible Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Activision would have had a year to implement the improvement.
User OptimusPrime1996 writes that he is used to the fast gameplay of Apex: Legends and that sliding in Call of Duty has always felt slow to him. Therefore, he is glad that there is this improvement.
However, there are also critical voices that preferred the slower gameplay. For this, MeinMMO has picked out some quotes from the community (via reddit.com):
GoldMountain5: ‘I understand that some people love the high mobility of Black Ops 3, but that was never my thing. I guess I’m just a bit more old school and prefer not to use my knees as meat chalk.’
DhruvM: ‘The game was nice with the heavier feel, and crap like this just ruins it. Fast, sweaty movement is all I see.’
Significant-Age502: ‘Looks like I might stop playing. Thanks!’
As the opinions of the community are widely divided, we would like to hear from you: How do you feel about sliding in Season 5? Do you notice any difference? Share it in the comments!
On July 20, 2023, Arena, the new mode in League of Legends was released. The 2v2v2v2 mode focuses on duels without lanes and minions. Bard was very weak in the mode and was heavily buffed. Too strong, as after just 24 hours he was nerfed again.
How was Bard buffed for Arena? For his passive, Bard usually collects bells on the map, for which he gets stacks that make him stronger at certain intervals. However, this is more difficult in Arena mode, which is why he was buffed.
Required bells for upgrade reduced from 5 to 2
AP scaling of his Meeps increased from 30% to 60%
Time until W is active reduced from 10 to 8 seconds
W now has 70 ability haste
Max W packages: 3 to 33
W healing: 2x
E now has 70 ability haste
These changes only apply to the Arena mode. Especially the first two buffs are incredibly strong and turn Bard from a supporter into a real AP monster. Getting upgrades more than twice as fast greatly strengthens Bard.
A developer recently spoke about a myth of champion balance:
How did Bard perform after the buffs? As Dexerto reports, Bard’s Arena win rate skyrocketed to 68% within just a few hours. This put Bard at the top of all champions regarding win rate. Riot overshot a bit.
In a Reddit post, many users drew a conclusion based on the win rate data after the buffs:
QuackologistExpert: Who thought it was a good idea to implement these Bard changes in Arena? Everyone picks Bard, goes full AP, and kills everyone with 1-2 auto attacks lmao.
Joaoseinha: Anyone who has played Bard at least once could tell you that these buffs are way too overkill. They buffed everything in his kit.
Proxnite: Finally, Bard shows that he is the originally immortal cosmic being that terrifies mortals with his tunes and echoes.
After all, most players take Bard’s brief dominance with humor, as he was nerfed again shortly after about 24 hours.
What was nerfed on Bard then? You don’t need to be afraid of Bard anymore, as a micro-patch was released after 24 hours, in which it was announced on Twitter that Bard was nerfed again.
(All modes) Bugfix: Bard’s W heals his teammates again
(Arena): The buffs to his passive have been reverted, his bells upgrade again after 5 stacks, and the AP ratio of his Meeps goes back from 0.6 to 0.3
Well, Bard didn’t have dominance in the new mode for long. We’ll see how he performs now in a few days. The new mode seems to still have a lot in store for the future. Let’s see which champions will be OP in the coming weeks.
Have you played the mode yet? Which champions do you think are too strong? Let us know in the comments.
The update on the new Season 5 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone brought not only new content to the game but also apparently a hint about the successor.
When will MW3 be revealed? The reveal of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is expected to take place on August 17, 2023. Activision Blizzard has not confirmed the date yet, but it is already known that the reveal will be an event in Season 5 of Warzone.
Where do the information come from? Data miners found the information about the reveal of Modern Warfare 3 in the patch of Season 5 (via Twitter). Keep in mind that this is not official information.
On the official Twitter channel, it was announced on the night of August 2, 2023, that key art and more would be revealed in the coming week.
What else is known? So far, not much has been known about Call of Duty 2023. For a long time, it was even suspected that it would not be a stand-alone premium CoD at all. Meanwhile, numerous information have been leaked (via GameStar).
What will Modern Warfare 3 look like? It was already known beforehand that the color scheme would switch from green to red. After the logo had already been leaked through a promo action by Monster Energy, the data miners now allow a look at the expected key art with the bearded Captain John Price (via imgur).
The responsible parties took the leak with surprisingly much humor and gave players a taste of their artistic skills:

When will Modern Warfare 3 come out? No official date is known yet, but according to insider Tom Henderson, fans should mark fall on their calendars (via Insider Gaming).
The beta for PlayStation is said to run from October 6 to October 10, 2023, while other platforms have to wait until October 12 and can play until October 16. Early access to the campaign is expected to follow on November 2, 2023, and for everyone else, it should start on November 10.
Other developers have much less fun about data mining:
Cryptocurrencies are a complex field with many ups and downs. A user now has 30 million euros more in their digital wallet.
Bitcoin regularly turns people into millionaires. This has just happened to a user. A few years ago, he bought Bitcoins for about 4,500 euros. 11 years later, those 4,500 euros have suddenly turned into 30 million.

User reactivates his digital wallet
A few days ago, the user reactivated his digital wallet and transferred his funds with a large transaction. However, quite a bit has happened in the last 11 years:
Because the Bitcoin he bought was worth about 4.50 euros in April 2012. That is around 4,500 euros.
In 2023, the price for a Bitcoin is significantly higher, at nearly 30,000 euros.
In November 2021, the Bitcoin price was even higher. At that time, one Bitcoin was worth 57,000 euros.
The person who bought a few Bitcoins years ago now has a few million more in their account. Converted, that is almost 30 million euros.
How do we know this so precisely? Bitcoin transactions are publicly visible: All Bitcoin transactions are public and permanently stored on the network. This means that anyone can view the balance and transactions of any Bitcoin address.

The owner of a Bitcoin address remains anonymous until someone comes forward and claims the address for themselves.
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies continue to be a controversial field. On one hand, the value of such currencies fluctuates extremely, and a Bitcoin can lose thousands of euros in value in just a few days. On the other hand, cryptocurrencies have long been criticized for being environmentally harmful.
The reasons for reactivation can only be speculated
What reasons are there? Why a Bitcoin account suddenly gets reactivated after 11 years leads to much speculation and mainly makes other investors nervous. After all, this user might have insider information and know about a market correction of Bitcoin.
From a person who has been in prison for years to a user who remembers his password to his Bitcoin wallet 11 years later, everything is really possible right now.
How frustrating missing passwords can be is also shown by a story about a German programmer. He misplaced his password for his wallet, which is worth over 200 million euros:
Baldur’s Gate 3 is a role-playing game that differs from more common games in many aspects. Especially players who are new to the genre may miss a lot simply because they know nothing about it. A fan is now giving tips, because: What you currently know is not helping you.
What is so different about Baldur’s Gate 3?
Baldur’s Gate 3 is based on the rules of Dungeons & Dragons. Many contents and rules from the game originate from pen & paper.
Unlike, for example, Diablo 4, battles follow certain rules, but it is also possible to consciously bypass some mechanics. Creativity is rewarded.
Even regarding loot, you have to rethink: Some of the most important items are not hidden in chests and dungeons, but are just lying around, you just need to find them.
What tips are there? On Reddit, the user MaralDesa created a post that quickly gathered over 2,500 upvotes and hundreds of comments. There he advises: “Forget what video games have taught you,” that can’t be applied in Baldur’s Gate 3.
He outlines 5 important tips that will help you in the game, especially if you have no experience with classic role-playing games:
Loot is not only found in chests but everywhere. With a right-click, you can pick up surprisingly many things, even chests themselves.
In many games, environmental objects are unimportant. In Baldur’s Gate 3, you can interact with them, and that can even become important: Candles provide light, which is important for battles and hiding. Chests can be stacked to reach higher places. Chairs can be switches for secret doors.
Quests in Baldur’s Gate 3 cannot really fail. They can only have different outcomes.
The design of the world plays a role. Corpses and animals are not just decorations. With the right spell, you can talk to creatures and gain information or even quests and loot. Even every “unimportant” NPC has a story and you can trade with him.
What doesn’t work in other games can work in Baldur’s Gate 3. If a hole is too small for you, use a shrinking spell. If you have given something to someone, steal it back using pickpocketing. Gas blocking the way? Put a box on the ventilation shaft.
Even everything that seems unimportant can be made important by you. Many objects could be thrown, thus improvising them into weapons. Or you can make objects hanging from the ceiling fall or catch fire with a well-aimed shot.
Many things that don’t work in other games work in Baldur’s Gate 3. Even sex with a bear …

“It will be hard to put my gamer brain aside”
In the community, fans thank for the tips and add their own. For example, that by pressing the Alt key, you get hints on what you can interact with – much remains hidden in this process. Anyone who has played Divinity: Original Sin 2 knows such tricks.
However, it is always a readjustment even for veterans. In the comments it states, for example: Even if you know all this already, it is difficult to set your gamer brain aside and engage with the game.
A few more tips from MeinMMO, where we have some experts who have been playing such games for years:
There is no “right” or “wrong.” Play how you want, but live with the consequences.
Is a fight too hard? Use the environment. Even a dangerous witch dies if you push her into a hole with no bottom.
Time is important. When you go to sleep, the world changes and what was there before can now be gone – or vice versa.
With the 12 classes and the ability to combine classes, dozens of paths are open to you on how to approach the game. In theory, you could even almost completely avoid fights and talk your way out of everything or sneak.
Such peculiarities have made the role-playing genre special and popular among fans for many years. If you are interested in Baldur’s Gate 3, also check out the other games of this kind that are available on Steam:
A player of Remnant 2 has found a way to reset your character’s attributes without consuming the necessary item.
What are attributes in Remnant 2? In Remnant 2, you can invest points into the various attributes of your character. There are a total of 32 different attributes into which you can put up to 85 attribute points.
The different attributes increase various stats of your character. Vitality increases your maximum health, expertise reduces the cooldown of your skills, and fitness increases your dodge distance.
It can therefore be very important to invest your 60 attribute points wisely in order to prepare your character as well as possible for your upcoming battles – the skirmishes in this Soulslike shooter can indeed be quite challenging.
Can you reset your attributes? Yes, you can reset your attributes with an item called “Orb of Undoing” and redistribute the points you have already invested.
The Orb of Undoing can be purchased / crafted from the merchant Wallace for 2,500 scrap metal and 3 Lumenite crystals (via fextralife.com).

Player finds way to reset attributes for free
The Reddit user “NonHeroJC” shared a video on Reddit a few days ago, showing how he successfully reset his attributes in Remnant 2 with the Orb of Undoing without consuming the item.
How does he reset his attributes for free? NonHeroJC first uses the Orb of Undoing as normal. Then, as he explains in a comment, he performs a dodge roll and spams the corresponding button on his controller.
You can see how it looks in the video on Reddit:

Is there anything to consider? Yes, the trick used by the Reddit user is an exploit that wasn’t intended by the game’s developers. It is quite possible that the trick will be patched and will no longer work in the future.
Moreover, when exploiting exploits, it must always be considered that it is up to the developers to take action against players who consciously made use of the exploit – even if no other players were harmed by the exploit.
What many developers also do not like to see is datamining, but the studio behind Remnant 2 has come up with a special surprise regarding this:
In Pokémon GO is the big GO Fest 2023 on the way, where you can secure Mega-Diancie for the first time. We at MeinMMO will show you what kind of monster it is, how to get it, and whether it’s worth it at all.
And it is not alone, as its Mega-evolution will finally be obtainable. How you can secure Mega-Diancie and whether it is worth it, we have summarized for you below.
How to get Mega-Diancie
When does Mega-Diancie debut? After the gem Pokémon has already been announced as one of the highlights for this year’s GO Fest, the developers of Pokémon GO have re-confirmed Mega-Diancie in a tweet for the event.

Thus, for the live events in London, Osaka, and New York, as well as during the global GO Fest, there will also be Mega Energy to collect for the first time to temporarily evolve Diancie into Mega-Diancie. However, not everyone can secure the new monster.
Who can get Mega-Diancie? To secure the Mega Energy, you will need a ticket for the live events and/or for the global GO Fest.
How do you get Mega Energy? Those who have a ticket for the global GO Fest will receive a special research task. Through this, you secure an encounter with Diancie. To secure the corresponding Mega Energy, you must also complete Raid battles against Rocara. These are awarded to ticket holders after the victorious raid.
Ticket holders for one of the live events can also secure Mega Energy by completing relevant field research in the respective event park on-site.
Is Mega-Diancie worth it?
How strong will it be: While Diancie can particularly score with good defense, its Mega-evolution impresses with an enormous attack value. Even though the exact numbers and movesets have not yet been officially confirmed, the following values are to be expected (via gamepress.gg):
Attack: 342
Defense: 235
Stamina: 137
If these values are confirmed, Mega-Diancie will be the best Rock and Fairy attacker in the game, which is why it should not be missing from your team, especially in raids. It’s just to be hoped that it also gets a strong moveset.
Is there Shiny-Diancie? According to current information, you can only catch a normal Diancie as part of the special research, which you can then evolve into Mega-Diancie. A shiny variant will therefore not be available in the game for the time being.
Our most important articles about the GO Fest 2023:
Who should secure Mega-Diancie? Anyone who wants a strong Pokémon on their team should not overlook Mega-Diancie, as it is expected to be one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO. In particular, players who have already purchased a ticket for the GO Fest should take the chance and diligently collect Mega Energy.
When Diancie and its Mega-evolution will finally be available for all players in Pokémon GO is currently unknown. As soon as there is further information on this, you will find it with us at MeinMMO.
How do you like the prospects for GO Fest 2023? Will you secure Diancie and its Mega-evolution? Or do you hope for a general debut instead? Feel free to let us know in the comments and discuss it with other trainers.
Dead by Daylight has secured another powerful license. The infamous Alien will soon hunt the helpless survivors in the fog.
Even though the balance or the necessary grind in Dead by Daylight is often a reason to complain about the game, the developers seem to be riding a wave of strong licenses. They have now succeeded in bringing one of the most famous horror icons into the fog of the entity: the Alien, also known as “Xenomorph”.
The abilities of the new killer are not yet known, but a few assumptions can already be made. The Alien is known for its sneaky attacks, which means it will likely be able to suppress the terror radius. The notorious “Face-Huggers,” which are used for reproduction and are quite disgusting, might also play a role, as well as the possibility of moving “underground” – though that might be too close to the Demogorgon.
A first teaser for the Alien in Dead by Daylight can be found here:
Start video
Dead by Daylight: Alien Teaser Trailer
Even though the original Alien film from 1979, with its rather simple special effects, can hardly compete with the modern films, it was quite a milestone. After all, the film made almost ten times its production costs at the time and had interesting design decisions. Ripley is one of the first true female action heroes to make it to the big screen.
Perhaps there was a young demon some time ago who saw this film far too early because he used the “free house” to go through his parents’ video collection. And just maybe that led me to sleep only with the lights on for almost two weeks, constantly keeping a close watch on my belly to ensure that no sinister creature was about to burst forth.
Even though the Alien films have now become some of my absolute horror favorites, I already know that the Alien will create quite a panic again in Dead by Daylight and bring up some eerie memories – at least if the developers don’t completely mess up the abilities of the Xenomorph.
