World of Warcraft is currently offline. The patch 10.1.5 has caused issues – and Blizzard had to respond. The realms are offline.
Update 18:20: The realms are back online and World of Warcraft is accessible again.
Original report: “Never play on patch day” is an age-old rule that first-generation WoW fans still recall. That this rule still holds today is demonstrated by the patch 10.1.5: Rifts in Time. The update went live today, on 12th July 2023, and brought a new mega dungeon “Twilight of the Eternals” as well as plenty of other content.
However, there were also many problems. They were so severe that Blizzard now has to conduct an emergency maintenance.

When will the realms be back online? That is unknown. Blizzard has not provided a time estimate, so it could take several more hours. However, these maintenance periods usually end quite “spontaneously” and often only last a few hours. As soon as the realms are back online, we will update this article.

What kind of errors occurred? Although some errors were already fixed with hotfixes earlier, patch 10.1.5 caused quite a bit of chaos. Some of the errors included:
Players could handle “Mythic+” at high levels solo in just a few minutes. A scaling error caused bizarre results.
The micro menu is the wrong size.
The “delete character” function is faulty and sometimes deletes the wrong character.
Some of the new action bar animations do not work with macros.
Some characters are stuck in limbo and are “not available” when logging in or receive the message “world server not found”.
Were you also affected by the errors?

In Diablo 4 causes a fundamental display to confuse players because it is too complicatedly designed.
In Diablo 4, there are a few fundamental aspects that define the game for players. These include the classic looting and leveling as well as the challenge offered while playing.
Sure, there are players who opt for a cozy run, but the hardcore fans of the action RPG fight for survival in hardcore mode.
However, the more difficult the challenge is, the more important a fundamental display becomes that you know from almost every game: health.

Diablo 4: Do you forget to use your elixirs? This trick helps you.
In Diablo 4, health includes not only the hit points of your character but also states that are displayed so complicatedly that some players in the subreddit of the ARPG were still confused even after attempts at explanation.
What is the problem with the display? In addition to your character’s health, there are also the “Fortification” and the “Barrier.”
The red circle is your health display. When this is empty, you are dead.
The fortification display is also red and fills up over your health display. If you are 100% fortified, you will also see a gray ring around the health display.
The blue display that fills in front of your health and fortification is your barrier.
All three displays overlap in Diablo 4 and change the appearance of the health display without really clarifying what they mean. What does fortification do? What does the gray ring mean? How long does my barrier last?
However, the picture apparently could not help every player. One user responded: “I still don’t get it,” and received over 400 upvotes for his honesty (via Reddit).
Another player stepped in, shed light on the issue in writing, and explained the displays and their effects. He says:
If your fortification is at 100%, it reduces the damage you receive by 10%. If your fortification is not at 100%, then there is no damage reduction.
You should achieve 100% fortification when your current fortification is equal to or greater than your current health.
The barrier scales with your base health and absorbs up to a certain amount of damage from all sources. In this process, the barrier takes damage before your health takes damage.
Knowing what fortification and the barrier do can also help you in Season 1 of Diablo 4. When it starts and what it includes, you can read on MeinMMO:
Tyler “Ninja” Blevins was a huge name on Twitch in 2017 and 2018 thanks to the shooter Fortnite , and the 32-year-old still has the channel with the most followers today. But the peak of his success was 5 years ago. Now he’s making headlines for drunkenly dissing colleagues during a YouTube stream.
Who is Ninja?
Ninja had his wedding in 2017 and 2018 on Twitch when he became a star with the shooter “Fortnite”, even making it into the mainstream: Back then, he constantly broke records, became a multimillionaire in just a few months, wanted to be “the David Beckham” of gaming.
Nevertheless, he still has the channel with the most followers on Twitch from the Fortnite era. The second-placed, auronplay, is still 3 million followers behind.
On a fateful night during the stream, Ninja drunkenly dissed colleagues.
Start video
Through Fortnite to the largest streamer on Twitch – Who is Ninja and what is he doing today?
What did he say? Ninja was apparently quite drunk but was seen in a three-and-a-half-hour stream by his friend, TimTheTatman (via youtube). His former colleague from Fortnite days, Cloakzy, was also there.
Ninja spoke about stableronald. He has 2.6 million followers and around 2,000 average viewers on Twitch. stableronaldo is a 20-year-old Twitch streamer who excels in Fortnite and is closely friends with current Fortnite star Clix.
Stableronaldo had the audacity to come into the stream and criticize the 3 elders sitting there opening $10,000 crates in CS:GO: For that, he received the receipt from Ninja.
Ronaldo has only a twentieth of our followers and is completely irrelevant. So we should keep opening boxes. He wanted to become an IRL streamer and has miserably failed.
Ninja slurs noticeably while drunk and continues to diss Ronaldo in the stream. He says:
Ronaldo is clearly washed up
He needs to get back to e-sports instead of focusing on drama
He peaked during the Fortnite era
TimTheTatman finds this too much. He tries to hold Ninja back, who is digging his own grave, but he cannot be stopped. He is now obsessed with telling “the truth”:
I stand by what I say: I think Ronaldo, you are like a combination of crap Clix: “Oh God, I might be good at the game” and Myth: “You go to YouTube – and what happens then?
The sentence about Myth was understood to mean that he switched and since he left Twitch, plays no role anymore.
Ronaldo screams: “You sold out”
What are the reactions? His former colleague Myth, who really switched to YouTube, reacts miffed and criticizes: It is crazy for someone like Ninja, who himself had so many ups and downs and knows how much that impacts mental health, to attack a smaller streamer for not being so successful anymore. Being drunk is no excuse for that.
Stable Ronaldo had a screaming fit. That is not okay, he sees Ninja in his viewer list.
Ninja would “go after everything he worked for.”

Ronaldo also explains that he stayed on Twitch, although he had a good offer from Facebook for $18,000 a month to switch when he was 15/16 years old.
I decided to stay on Twitch because I believed in myself. You sold out, said “Screw all my viewers, screw the community” and sold yourself to a dead platform for $50 million just because you were only interested in money. That’s why you’re projecting your stuff onto me because you are a little bitch.

Ninja is also criticized online for his behavior. One person shares the clip and says: I used to look up to Ninja, but now he just boasts about money and mocks people who want to be successful. It’s sad to see.

How does Ninja himself react? He says he would have apologized to stableronaldo afterwards. He thinks highly of him, and it was all not meant that way. It was just playful teasing that got out of hand.
He also admits: TimTheTatman uninvited him from the planned dinner together. He was simply at the end of his rope.
Myth doesn’t find that funny: Being drunk is no excuse for that.
What’s behind it: What’s really strange about this case is that Ninja apparently doesn’t realize that everything he criticizes in others can also be thrown at him:
He is no longer as relevant as he once was
He sold himself to another platform and thus lost a large part of his viewers
He peaked during Fortnite
That he criticizes these 3 things and doesn’t realize that he is sitting in a glass house seems odd. He can be glad that TimTheTatman is such a nice guy that he doesn’t throw it in his face on camera. But when stableronaldo says he projects his own problems onto him, there seems to be some truth to that.
Even though Ninja has always paid attention to his image, he has always had these strange outbursts: For example, when he explained to professional kickers in the NFL that their job is really very easy. He cannot understand how a professional could ever miss such a kick.
Well, alcohol and live streaming just don’t seem to mix:
A fan writes a 1,000-page document about the SciFi role-playing game Starfield and now dreams of a career at Bethesda after completing an internship at NASA.
What is this document about? A Starfield fan named “Gokamo” has written a 1,000-page document and shared it on Reddit, compiling countless information about Starfield – with a table of contents, notes, and loads of analyses of the released images, trailers, and interviews.
The entire document is structured chronologically and divided into different sections. In addition to information about the skills, companions, or the combat system, leaks and community theories are also included.
As early as March 2023, the Starfield document was a topic among fans when it was still 400 pages long. However, since the 45-minute gameplay deep dive in June, Gokamo has added over 600 new pages to the document.

The added pages prompted Gokamo to share his work again in the Starfield subreddit so that any interested fan can check it out. The post collected around 1,400 upvotes within two days and received over 180 comments.
If you want to take a look at the work of the Starfield fan, here’s the document (via Google Docs)
NASA intern hopes for a career at Bethesda
What makes this document so special? The Starfield document is not just a collection of numerous information about a game that hasn’t been released yet. It also showcases Gokamo’s passion.
He also reports in the document that during an internship at NASA he worked on simulations and developed games during his studies. Since he loves Bethesda games, as he writes on Reddit, he is now hoping for a career with the developer studio.
“Could this be the archived ‘history’ of Starfield?”
What does the community say about the document? As with Gokamo’s first post about his document, the Starfield community is once again impressed by the work.
“49 years as a gamer… This is the craziest deep dive I’ve ever experienced! Thanks, this should keep me busy for a few days.”
“You are insane, dude. When Starfield comes out, this could be the archived ‘history’ of Starfield.”
“At this point, you should move from a Google doc to a website. You are doing great work. If you consider a website for the future, let me know, I would love to help!”
Many fans of the SciFi RPG thank Gokamo for the effort he is putting in and emphasize how impressive the document is.
If you don’t want to read or write a 1,000-page document to bridge the wait for Starfield, there is an excellent alternative:
During a visit to the studio behind Baldur’s Gate 3, MeinMMO editor-in-chief Leya Jankowski had the opportunity to ask studio head Swen Vincke about his thoughts on AI in game development. His views on this are pragmatic.
A few days ago, Larian Studios invited various content creators and media to preview the latest version of Baldur’s Gate 3 shortly before its release in August. During the visit, various things were shown:
After I asked the chief developer Swen Vincke about the ultimate evil path in Baldur’s Gate 3, I took the opportunity to also probe him about his opinion on AI in game development.
We have been using AI for ages
MeinMMO: AI is currently a pretty hot topic. As editor-in-chief of MeinMMO, I personally think a lot about how we deal with it and try to gather various perspectives. What do you think about AI in game development?
Swen Vincke: It’s a tool like any other. We have been using AI for ages, wherever we can. We have things like automated testing or automated mocap cleanup.
At the moment, of course, everyone is talking about ChatGPT, which has the ability to generate stories. I think it gives you the ability to evaluate many parameters faster, which is a good thing. I don’t think it can write the stories that you [see in Baldur’s Gate 3].
The story team uses it, not to create direct scripts with it, but to simply try out a few things and get new ideas.
What do we do to get inspired? We go to various places, like the small castle we are currently sitting in front of. We go to libraries, we surf the internet, we travel.
It’s a tool to ask a few questions about where a story might go. Then you have cool ideas that you can use to create your own thing out of it.
MeinMMO: Personally, I like to use AI image editing, even just for fun in my leisure time. But there is also a big movement of artists who are afraid of tools like Midjourney. What do you think about that?
Swen Vincke: Actually just like with ChatGPT. It serves as inspiration. In the end, you still have your artists and an artist team figuring out how everything should look. I mean, people have been doing photo-bashing for years [a technique where photographic elements are added to digital drawings]. This is an advanced form of photo-bashing.
Photo-bashing will not be the element that defines the artwork. It is just a technique that has helped the artist get the inspiration to make their own thing.
If you are a really good artist, you will definitely see a difference. It’s simply different whether you have something man-made or something completely generated.
That even applies to the tools one uses. For example, if I do something with Midjourney, it looks completely different than if my art director does something with it. I am really bad at it, and he is so good. He knows how to communicate with the thing. And even then, he doesn’t use the images, but finds something interesting for himself, comes back, and shows me a piece of art that has nothing to do with the AI image.

MeinMMO: So you use it more for inspiration.
Swen Vincke: Automation in this industry, where so many things come together, is inherently a good thing. Would I automate my screenplay? No. Maybe for a generic NPC, I could imagine that. But even then, you will have no profound stories that can be told. We are not there yet. Maybe we will be one day, I don’t know.
With [Baldur’s Gate 3], we tried to give you a personalized scenario based on your decisions. If AI can help me automate part of the work so I have more time for the essential and for inspiration, then I am on board.
At this point, a thank you to Swen for taking the time to talk to me about AI in game development.
What do you think about the topic of AI in creative fields like game development?
Patch 10.1.5 of World of Warcraft has been launched. We reveal what new tasks there are to do and what you should keep an eye out for.
The latest update for World of Warcraft is live. The Patch 10.1.5 Rifts in Time brings a lot of small, new content that will especially please collectors. But everyone else is likely to enjoy the new content for at least a few evenings.
Visit the Mega Dungeon: Twilight of the Eternals
The new Mega Dungeon continues the story of the Bronze and Eternal Dragonflight. You set out to help Chromie stop her evil variant “Morchie” from allowing Nozdormu to become Murozond.
In total, there are 8 bosses waiting for you with new loot and some tough achievements. At first, the dungeon is only available on the “Mythic” difficulty – but its difficulty is more akin to a medium “Mythic+” dungeon.
The pre-quest for the dungeon starts in Valdrakken. However, it is not necessary, you can enter the dungeon without it.

Visit Time Rifts and farm plenty of rewards
Every hour on the hour, a small event starts in Tyrhold (Thaldraszus). A new time rift opens up, and you must complete various tasks to gain reputation and a new currency. At the end of each rift, a big boss awaits, for which you need multiple players.
There are countless rewards, including mounts, pets, and plenty of transmogs. Twinks can also equip themselves solidly here, as there is gear with item level 402+.
Play a Enhancement Caller (or force your friends to)
Callers have received a new specialization! They can now become “Enhancers”. They count as damage dealers, even if their actual DPS is not that high. However, they provide massive buffs to other players in the group and significantly improve them.
So don’t let the low DPS values of an Enhancement Caller mislead you into underestimating them; instead, pay attention to how much your stats increase due to their presence.
What else is in the patch? Aside from the larger features mentioned above, there are numerous little things and secrets that have also gone live and are waiting to be discovered:
A new quest line lets you raise baby dragons and later keep them as pets.
Warlocks can experience a new quest line with optical unlocks.
All races (except Dracthyr) can now become warlocks.
You can unlock the “old” Scholomance to collect transmogs there.
Naxxramas has a new secret where you can obtain the Tier 3 set.
Mages have been massively revamped and received new talents.
Many items can now be upgraded to level 447, so you can also obtain the best loot from “Mythic+”.
The name James Cameron is immediately associated by many with the sci-fi hit Terminator. However, the star director had to first endure a massive flop before achieving international success. The inspiration for that came to him in a dream.
James Cameron’s career began with the film project Piranha 2 – Flying Killers. This is a thriller from 1978, featuring murderous fish lurking in the skies.
Initially, James Cameron was supposed to take charge of the special effects. Shortly thereafter, however, the actual director of the project was fired, and Cameron took over his position.
However, the language barrier between him and the Italian team made work difficult. Additionally, he had issues with the executive producer of the film, as the producer repeatedly criticized Cameron’s decisions. Shortly after, Cameron was then dismissed.
Here you see a trailer for Piranha 2 – Flying Killers:

Piranha 2 was an absolute failure for James Cameron
In an interview, the director spoke about his exit from the project:
He simply fired me and took over, which he wanted to do when he hired me. Only much later did I understand what had happened. I thought: “Oh man, I thought I had done good work.” But when I saw what they had edited together, it was terrible.
James Cameron in conversation with LA Times (via collider.com)
There was also the issue that James Cameron could not remove his name from the project, even though he had been fired.
However, during this time, another project emerged: James Cameron was in Rome due to Piranha 2 and fell ill. With a high fever, the director dreamed something crazy:
I dreamed of this chrome, metallic figure of death emerging from a fire. A sort of skeletal robot, if you will.
So I woke up with this image in my head, made a few drawings, and then built a story around this image.
James Cameron in conversation with 60 Minutes (via collider.com)
After returning from Rome, the director knew that after this flop he would never get a job again unless he wrote and implemented something himself.
Inspired by his fever dream, the Terminator took shape and premiered in 1984. With Arnold Schwarzenegger in the lead role, James Cameron’s film series remains one of the most famous sci-fi films to this day.
James Cameron seems to find his involvement in Piranha 2 so uncomfortable that he would prefer to forget the film entirely. For example, in an interview with VanityFair, he made it clear:
“You must not forget: I worked on Piranha 2 for a few days and then got fired. I do not list it in my official filmography. There is therefore no emotional connection for me […].”
An actress from Terminator later admitted that she was not initially convinced by Cameron’s project. She also couldn’t relate to the lead actor at first:
In Diablo 4 , Blizzard changed the title for an achievement on July 8: The word “Predator” was changed to “Enemy”. This prompts Twitch streamer Asmongold, who sharply criticizes Blizzard for this change.
What kind of change is this:
For the achievement of getting 25 wins in PvP, the title that could be displayed in Diablo 4 was originally “Predator”. In German, the title was “Prädator”.
However, with a change on June 8, the title was changed to Enemy (German: Gegner).
Diablo 4: How to get the most out of the emote wheel
Blizzard removes the word “Predator” from Diablo 4
Why is the title “Predator” problematic? The word “Predator” is often used in English in connection with sexually aggressive or even violent behavior. It is used to describe perpetrators committing sexual acts: A predator hunts a person out of sexual interest, just as a beast stalks its prey.
Rapists and child molesters in the USA are referred to as “sexual predators”.
In the USA, there was a popular TV show called “To Catch a Predator”, in which individuals were lured online to be exposed as pedophiles and arrested by the police.

Otherwise, the word “Predator” is primarily shaped by the action movie series with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Essentially, the term refers to an “animal that stalks another” and comes from the Latin word for “to seize”. It actually means something like “predatory animal”.
Why was it changed? Blizzard apparently wanted to remove the word “Predator” from Diablo 4 because they saw it as sexually negatively loaded and feared that a person could be triggered or made uncomfortable when meeting someone who had the word “Predator” in their name.
This change from “Prädator” to “Gegner” also occurred in German, although we in German daily life do not have this sexually connotated meaning of “Predator” – the word is anyway practically not used in German.
“Oversensitivity is getting boring”
What was the editorial response? There was a huge thread on Reddit about the topic. Most reacted with confusion to the change. The top comment mentions that this “oversensitivity is becoming boring”.
Others speak of a “false outrage” from people who cannot think for themselves.
Blizzard has attracted the most sensitive players on the internet for the last 10 years
Asmongold says: For Twitch streamer Asmongold, a Blizzard expert, this behavior fits Blizzard by now. He says:
I think, once again, such changes show that Blizzard has spent the last 10 years trying to attract the most sensitive babies on the internet to play their games. They have tried so hard to attract these sensitive pussies: These sensitive weaklings don’t want “Predator” in their game, so they get their way.
He elaborates that Blizzard is no longer what it used to be, that company is gone:
“The people who worked here before, the people who made the games you liked, those people probably belong in jail. And the new people, whose idea of fun is to add three effects that only work after death. On a mob. So saddle up. You are in for a hell of a ride.”
Asmongold believes the change happened because some people complained about the title and that Blizzard did not want to take the risk of being seen in a “weird light.”
Asmongold: No good story comes from Blizzard anymore – too much fear of real-life parallels
Blizzard is now overly cautious and would change things that are absurd for fear of another scandal: such as “a dragon lady with an attractive model.” There is no chance that Blizzard would get into a global sex scandal just because a model in WoW looks attractive.
With these changes, Blizzard would “suffocate” their story to death. One can no longer expect a good story from Blizzard because good stories deal with the “true nature of humanity.” These stories reflect real life.
Asmongold no longer expects such stories from Blizzard. They are too afraid to write stories with parallels to reality. Thus, there is also nothing left about the Scarlet Crusade in WoW because it was too close to hate groups from real life.

Indeed, the change fits with some “censorship” measures that Blizzard has implemented during the sex scandal; for example, they replaced naked women in WoW with fruit:
The developer studio Gardens, founded in 2022, was able to raise 31.3 million US dollars for its first project – and that from well-known investors.This is an MMO, of which we only know a few concept drawings so far.
Who are the investors? As you can probably imagine, such huge sums are backed by no small fry. How enormous the interest of what feels like half of the gaming industry in the project is illustrated by the listing of some involved investors:
Dreamhaven (developer studio co-founded by Mike Morhaime, the founder and former CEO of Blizzard Entertainment)
Nate Mitchell (co-founder of Oculus)
V Pappas (former COO of TikTok)
Julien Merceron (CTO of Bandai Namco)
Annie and Jeff Strain (co-creators of Guild Wars and State of Decay)
Thanks to the substantial financial boost, real gaming giants are now also part of the advisory team of the developer studio. Here you will find former Microsoft chairman John W. Thompson, former president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America, Jack Tretton, former president of Tencent and CEO of Take-Two, Ben Feder, and Yamauchi No.10 (Nintendo Family) among the advisors.

3 fantastic MMORPGs if you are into housing
Who is behind Gardens? Of course, the developer studio is not a newly founded student project. The developer studio, founded in 2022, consists of a whole range of veterans who have already worked on major games. On board are, for example, Ryan Benno (Spider-Man, Ratchet & Clank, The Wolf Among Us), Rose Fale (Skyrim, Fallout 4), and Siobhan Beeman (Wing Commander, Ultima). There is no shortage of professional expertise here.
What kind of MMORPG is being developed? Well, that is the big question. We know almost nothing about the currently nameless game from the now very wealthy studio except for a few concept drawings. Game Director Chris Bell refers to it as a “PvPvE fantasy adventure sandbox ARPG” and describes it as follows:
It is a game inspired by our favorite memories we’ve collected over the years while playing online role-playing games, MMOs, and fantasy action-adventures, memories of how our paths crossed with strangers. The game builds on multiplayer ideas and experiences from previous titles, […] while immersing players in a ruthless fantasy wilderness and shapeshifting, where cooperation is key, but betrayal is still possible.
We are incorporating innovative cooperative gameplay that rewards players who help each other, which can foster friendship and dialogue with PvP and conflicts in interesting and subversive ways. We are developing the world in which we want to play every day, a world that offers new experiences every time you play and evolves over the years.
Really concrete information about the MMO itself does not emerge from this description, except: It will be a fantasy MMO focused on coop. PvP should still be possible. At the GDC, the international developer conference in 2023, there was, however, a playable prototype shown only to investors, which must have convinced them.
When could there be more information about the MMO? Therefore, there is currently no information about a release date or even a timeframe in which we might learn more about the project. Since the MMO studio is still looking for staff, you shouldn’t expect a new flood of information in 2023 or even 2024.

The MMORPG Black Desert received its latest expansion Land of the Morning Light on June 14. This focuses on PvE and story, which is quite uncharacteristic for the game. However, the change in direction seems to be working.
What does the expansion include? Black Desert is actually an MMORPG known for its open-world PvP and sandbox approach. This is what made the game popular years ago. However, the developers at Pearl Abyss have been pursuing a new approach for some time now.
Thus, more and more theme park elements have gradually been integrated into the original sandbox. This means content that guides you more or less along a path to where you are supposed to go, instead of just throwing you into the world. Even open-world PvP can now be escaped for a few hours a day.
The new expansion Land of the Morning Light was released on June 14 and consistently continued this new path. The addon focuses on an exciting and even voiced story, placing it at the forefront.
The main feature of Land of the Morning Light are the boss fights. They take place in various difficulty levels and, above all, are instanced. For the battles, you leave the open world and fight solely against overpowered opponents.
Both elements are completely contrary to what Black Desert was originally about.
You can watch the trailer for the expansion here:

Land of the Morning Light is so successful that even the CEO is overwhelmed
How is the expansion received? Better than anyone expected. Regarding exact numbers, we can only mention those from Steam. Black Desert also has its own launcher aside from Steam and is also available on consoles.
However, on Steam, the first 28 days after the release of the addon were incredibly strong. The average daily players increased by 31.99% compared to May. As for the player peak, the moment when the most people were online at the same time, Black Desert is also more successful than it has been since June 2021 (via steamcharts).
What do the developers say about it? Even they are astonished. The CEO of Pearl Abyss, Jaehee Kim, wrote an open letter to the community on Twitter. There he expresses his heartfelt thanks for the support of the players for Land of the Morning Light.
He further elaborated that there was uncertainty at Pearl Abyss about whether the expansion would be well received. After all, it is different and tells a completely unfamiliar story, says J. Nevertheless, Land of the Morning Light is a complete success and “more than we ever dreamed of hoping for.”
He also promises to address player feedback and continue as strongly in future updates as they have so far.
You can read the entire letter on Twitter:

However, it is still unclear how things will proceed after the addon. In the latest announcement, Black Desert announced that the summer season will be extended until August 30. This is particularly appealing for new players who have likely been attracted by the expansion.
Through the season and the associated servers, you can level up very quickly and easily obtain relatively strong equipment. At the end of such a season, you can transfer your character, along with everything you have easily acquired, to one of the “real” servers and then start right away.
What do you personally think of Land of the Morning Light? Have you played the expansion, or has it perhaps even brought you into the MMORPG? Or do you have a completely different opinion and believe that the path Black Desert is taking is not the right one? Feel free to let us know in the comments here at MeinMMO.
Since 2017, Destiny 2 has experienced a rollercoaster of opinions and speculation. While the loot shooter has a loyal fanbase, rumors and claims about the alleged impending downfall continue to circulate. However, instead of the game, the Guardians are more annoyed by the constant doomsday scenarios. Player numbers contradict these claims.
Destiny 2 is said to be dead: Since the “Lightfall” expansion couldn’t deliver what was expected from a grand beginning of the end in early 2023, parts of the player base have entered a death spiral, predicting the game’s downfall once again.
A quick look at the part of the community that publicly and loudly expresses its opinions about the game suffices.
There, one learns that nobody plays this game anymore, and that one should finally break free.
At the latest, with the launch of “The Final Shape”, the upcoming DLC, the game will have no players anyway, because already in its small clan bubble, nobody plays anymore.
While the annoyance and bad mood are certainly understandable. Destiny 2 currently has significant problems that players justifiably criticize.
The gameplay loop has become boring for some because the storytelling repeats itself, with essentially the same principle and a different story every three months.
The neglect of known core PvE activities or the Crucible and Gambit.
Nevertheless, despite recurring doomsday predictions, Destiny 2 continues to enjoy a stable and engaged player community. The claims of an impending end are far from reality because player numbers clearly show that Bungie’s loot shooter is by no means dying.

Player numbers remain solid: Destiny 2 is now 6 years old. The Destiny franchise is almost 10 years old, and although not everything is going smoothly at the moment, Bungie can still present strong numbers for its loot shooter. Lightfall, which received significant criticism for its content, was even the strongest DLC at launch.
During the launch week in February 2023, over 316,000 players alone played the new “Lightfall” DLC on Steam, which was a new all-time record for Bungie.
In the following month, March, Bungie was able to record the highest average player count on Steam since the release of Destiny 2 in October 2019.
In the last 30 days, just before the midseason update, Destiny 2 still had an average player count of 54,000 on Steam and a peak of 87,000.
This only refers to the verifiable player numbers on Steam. Specific figures for consoles cannot be confirmed as they are not available. But it is unlikely that these will be significantly different.
Certainly not record numbers that the game is currently experiencing, but still solid, considering how relaxed this Season 21 is and that many players wanted to participate in Diablo 4 as well.
The trend in player numbers at the start of Lightfall was clearly recognizable (via SteamDB)
However, a small indication of the overall numbers could be provided by the Bot Charlemagne. One can retrieve current player population data via Discord with the query “/analytics population” for all platforms.
As of the time of this article, on July 12, the bot provided us with the following result:
Total players across all platforms: 698,400
Unfortunately, these figures cannot be confirmed by the individual provider platforms as they can on Steam.
Why are player numbers important at all? No matter how big and serious the problems may be right now, a mass exodus of players, as many currently claim, simply does not reflect in these player numbers. They also do not paint a catastrophic picture of the game’s state.
If it were otherwise, Bungie would likely have already reacted. However, Destiny 2 is much larger than its community on Reddit, YouTube, or Twitter. Most players are not interested in the criticism from the active community, or they are completely unaware of it because they are not active in the community.
Most players simply keep playing
This is what the community says: On Reddit, some Guardians have even made fun of the constant death talk and updated an old meme that has received 3,600 upvotes.
This Destiny meme can be updated every year
They emphasized that while the game has some problems, it is by no means on the brink of collapse, as some people repeatedly claim. The passion for the game is still present, and many still enjoy weekly activities.
While some let themselves be swept away by the negativity wave and are just annoyed by all the criticism, others, like the Guardian havestronaut, simply continue playing.
Yes… to be honest, I have a lot of good games to play this year. I don’t tend to get frustrated about everything, so I just play the Destiny story updates, enjoy a bit more of what is fun, and then I relax. […] I think the expectation that something should always and endlessly be consumable is probably a mistake. […]
Similarly relaxed is OffMyChestATM, who writes: „[…] In my opinion, it is a great gaming year. And there is a lot to enjoy, especially when your favorite game has a mediocre moment.”
And the Destiny player Nick_Sonic_360 notes that the loot shooter is currently just “going through another evolution”.
Destiny is experiencing growing pains; I love it at the moment, the Season of Depth is great, and I’m grinding through the seasonal challenges, so I have no problems. […] And honestly, that is a requirement at this stage of the game’s life. “The Final Shape” will be an epic conclusion to the Light and Darkness saga, but [Bungie] must continue to add content for it to live on. […] I love this game and want it to continue after “Lightfall”, to have new adventures and worlds to explore, for the roots of this game to return.
Destiny players love toxic discussions: Over the years, not everything has been perfect in Destiny, and it is still not perfect today.
People love Bungie’s ideas but often hate how poorly they are implemented. This is why it has become a traditional player custom to complain terribly about Bungie and its ideas. Or, as player itsRobbie puts it: “Just panic-mongering for views, because the Destiny community loves negativity”.
Additionally, there will be continuous adjustments to the meta, as well as upcoming new features in seasons and DLCs. And this is precisely why players keep returning and giving the developer studio another chance.
The player numbers and the vibrant community thus contradict the claims about the impending end of Destiny 2 and show that the game still has a strong presence in the gaming world. Because only when no one talks about a game anymore is it truly dead.
What do you think? Are you annoyed by the constant declarations of death for Destiny, as you just want to do your thing and have some fun in the game? Or do you say: No, fate is indeed worse off now than ever, even if the player numbers are solid? We are certainly curious about your opinions in the comments.
Perhaps the player mikeyt0503 puts it best: “We love to be haters. It’s really that simple. We love to hate Destiny 2, and we hate that we love it.”
After his face reveal, the Minecraft streamer Dream was bullied. Nevertheless: He is satisfied that he did it.
Some streamers have built their online personality without showing their face. This was the case for “Disguised Toast” for a long time, and “Dream” also fell into this category. Especially known for his Minecraft content, Dream was long known before another topic began to overshadow it: Dream’s face reveal, the revealing of his face.
In hindsight, it went only “so-so” – yet Dream does not regret the decision.
What happened after the face reveal? After Clayton Huff, whom most know as “Dream”, revealed his face, what often happens on the internet under the cover of anonymity occurred. Many expressed disappointment in Dream’s face, as he just looked “like an average guy”. This disappointment also brought insults, including nasty memes and demeaning videos.
Ultimately, this even led Dream to delete the video of his “face reveal” and he now mainly produces content wearing the mask again.
Does Dream regret the face reveal? No. During a podcast, he revealed that he does not regret showing his face.
The mask was always a big part of everything I did. I never actually planned to not show my face. So I just started as a faceless content creator because I never had shown my face online before. […]
I didn’t have any social media accounts. I had no Twitter. I had no Facebook. I had no Instagram. I had none of that before I started YouTube. It just so happened that I didn’t have any pictures of myself for all these things. […]
Then I got the mask sent to my mailbox and thought “This is so cool.” It came from the fans and I think I just never wanted to lose that.
In this, Dream believes that he simply had to show his face:
I think I had to show my face. I lived in this constant state of paranoia, but my life is so much better now that I can finally live my life and do what I want.
I might maybe do a few things a bit differently, but it’s hard to say because that would then trigger a different chain of events that could then unfold completely differently, so I’m pretty satisfied with [how it went].

The release of Baldur’s Gate 3 is approaching and the team reveals new details. In the interview, the lead writer explains why monks are supposed to be the best class in the game.
What is explained? In Baldur’s Gate 3, you can expect many options when choosing a class. But which one is the best? From the team of Baldur’s Gate 3, lead writer Adam Smith gave an interview with GamesRadar+ (via Gamesradar.com). In it, he discusses the new monk class and talks about its advantages.
Find out here what makes the class so good and what is special about the paladin.
Why are monks so good in Baldur’s Gate 3?
These are the arguments: Smith explains: “Monks are great because they are so fast.” By level 6 or 7, you become really fast and jump around everywhere.
Additionally, as a monk, you can deflect opposing projectiles with the “Deflect Missiles” ability. According to Smith, it feels “like you have a lightsaber.” Even for solo players, monks are said to be a good choice. Because besides their high speed, they also deal a lot of damage and can stealth well.
In RPGs, monks are not as frequently represented as the typical warriors, wizards, archers, and clerics.
What is the best roleplay class? If you base the choice of the best class solely on roleplay, then the monk does not win. In the eyes of Adam Smith, the paladin class has a clear advantage here. With this choice, you swore to uphold law and justice.
The paladin is probably still my favorite class. There are certain things you can do that break the oath, and if you do that, you will literally be visited by a guy named Oathbreaker, this dark knight. That’s really cool. It’s that whole moment just for this one class. Then comes the moment when you say: ‘Oh shit, I just shifted the power of cosmic balance.’
Baldur’s Gate 3 already started in Early Access in 2020. In August 2023, so already next month, the full release of the game is coming. Are you more Team Monk or Team Paladin?
Past Fate is currently in Early Access on Steam and is now inviting players to an open alpha weekend. Players can immerse themselves in the world of Edaria and Drosus. The development team at Icy North Games announces this exciting news with a trailer.
When does the alpha weekend take place? Interested players can log into the game from July 28 to July 31, 2023. There is no need to register in advance for the alpha phase or to purchase the game. Anyone who wants to try the game can really participate in the test phase.
All you need to participate is an account on Steam. Log in and find the title in the shop so you can start it for free. The development team hopes to receive a lot of feedback from the weekend and wants to test the current builds and optimizations implemented in the game with a new patch.
You can watch the trailer inviting you to the alpha test here:

Past Fate – Trailer for the Invitation to the Open Alpha
What’s behind Past Fate
Past Fate takes place in an open world with a medieval setting. There is a huge map that can be explored by players together or alone. There are different kingdoms that we can trade with.
Currently, five different classes are available for players to choose from:
Warrior
Necromancer
Wizard
Pirate
Priest
An important game feature is sailing. Players can build their own ships and explore new islands at sea. There are plenty of treasures hidden throughout the world and on the islands.
Alternatively, naval battles can take place at sea. Hired archers, wizards, and gunners are ready for the fights.
On MeinMMO, we reveal more details about Past Fate:
Additionally, numerous enemies are waiting to be defeated by us. Ancient creatures hold rare treasures, but first, we must clear the monsters out of the way. If players don’t want to rely on teammates, they can hire mercenaries to assist them in battle.
There will be a day-and-night cycle. At night, dark magic will be amplified, and players using this magic can transform into a beast.
You want to face Giovanni and his minions from Team GO Rocket in Pokémon GO? Then look out for a specific attack.
What’s happening in Pokémon GO? The Community Day with Quapsel in July has just been announced in Pokémon GO, which has led trainers to take a closer look at Quapsel and its evolutions. And it turns out: You shouldn’t underestimate Quappo.
What does this have to do with Team GO Rocket? While Quappo isn’t one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO for raids, it is a nearly perfect weapon against Giovanni, Cliff, Arlo, and Sierra. Trainer Kupo43 reports this in the subreddit TheSilphRoad about Pokémon GO – and receives much agreement from other trainers who have had similar experiences.
However, Quappo alone is not the only decisive factor: The right attack combination makes the difference.

Quappo is a monster with Charge Attack – But not the only one
Which attacks are used? As the trainer explains, a well-leveled Quappo is extremely strong against the Rockets when using a combination of the following attacks:
Charge Attack as an attack
Quick Attack as a move
The idea behind it is to use the quick Charged Attack as often as possible. It’s not particularly strong, but fast: It quickly breaks the shields of the Rockets and also provides the special boost effect of the attack – it can improve your attack value up to four times when you use it.
If you have a second Charged Attack like Dynamic Punch, you can quickly defeat the Rockets’ monsters. It benefits from the quickly removed shields and the attack boost from Charge Attack.

Players say: In the comments, some express their thoughts on Quappo and that they like to use it against Team GO Rocket – precisely because of the attack combination.
One user writes: Quappo is my MVP. I maxed it out to 50, but I had been using it long before that. Quick Attack/Charge Attack is just incredibly fast. I use Ice Punch as the second move and get good coverage against many Rocket Pokémon. But it’s really a fast shield breaker, no matter what, a user emphasizes (via reddit).
Especially with the upcoming Community Day, this is an option to keep in mind. With Quappo, you can secure a strong option against Team Rocket. But it’s not the only monster worth considering.
Lucario is also a candidate that can use Charge Attack perfectly. You combine it with Counter and Shadow Ball:
Lucario with Charge Attack is my first choice. It quickly draws the shields, and often it can take down the whole team. Its Steel typing is often practical against Snobilikat’s quick attacks, a trainer emphasizes (via reddit).
I have been defeating Giovanni with my Lucario since he first appeared, my only Best Buddy Pokémon (via reddit)
If you’re looking for more options against the Rockets, check here:
Overall, the attack combination is crucial, but you should always be cautious when the Rocket teams change. Depending on the type of Pokémon used, fighting attacks may be less effective. You should always keep this in mind and bring two good backups for monsters like Quappo or Lucario that can fill any potential gaps.
A man accidentally received a lot of money. But now, the “luck” hits him hard. Because he suddenly has to pay back 76,000 US dollars. But why does he have to pay 26,000 US dollars more than he received?
Our title image is a symbolic image.
A man from Georgia accidentally received money amounting to 50,000 US dollars. But this was likely a mistake, and he wasn’t entitled to the money.
But instead of reporting the mistake, he kept his “luck” to himself and preferred to keep the money. But this is now costing him dearly, because the platform that transferred him the money does not mess around and has now won in court.
Georgian has to repay an additional 25,000 dollars
What exactly happened? The Georgian had set up an account on a crypto platform. However, the platform made a mistake and mistyped during the transfer. Suddenly, 50,000 US dollars landed in the person’s account, which they were not entitled to.
The platform noticed the mistake and tried to get its money back. But without success, as the Georgian did not respond to the company’s requests.
Eventually, the company brought in a judge. A few months ago, in April 2023, the platform actually won in court, and the Georgian has to pay back the money. But the matter is going to get much more unpleasant:
Because the “lucky fellow” now has to not only pay back the 50,000 US dollars, but also a large additional sum. The sued person also has to cover the court costs of over 26,000 US dollars. This is reported by our colleagues from jeuxvideo.com.
The user now owes the company 76,000 US dollars for a mistake he did not make. On the other hand, it must be said that he himself did not come up with the idea of reporting the mistake. If he had, the matter would have ended up being less serious.
Cryptocurrencies have been losing value sharply for several months and are far from their peak in 2021/2022. A large crypto company is also affected. Currently, the company is allegedly making more money from electricity than from Bitcoin:
After more than a month, criticism from players is mounting, who believe the endgame of Diablo 4 is too repetitive and dull. One who has presumably played more than most says: that’s not true. One should just not forget what it’s all about.
What is the problem with the endgame?
Diablo 4 offers about level 50 various endgame activities that allow you to improve your gear and continue leveling.
However, players are now complaining: there are only a few methods that are truly worthwhile, and one quickly becomes tired of seeing the same content over and over.
This is what the player says:yxalitis on Reddit is a player who claims to have reached level 100 and is now sharing his thoughts on the game. The constant complaining and negativity on Reddit annoys him too much.
In his post with over 8,000 upvotes and 2,400 comments, the user draws parallels to Diablo 2 and Diablo 3, which the new Diablo 4 is constantly being compared to. He says: in both cases, you were essentially just running through the same content again and again, just like now in Diablo 4.
Unlike Diablo 4, however, thousands of fans are now praising the predecessors in hindsight, allegedly due to the better loot. But that was never truly the point in any of these games.
Diablo 4: The Official Announcement Trailer for Season 1
“If the game is not fun for you, no endgame will ever satisfy you”
The core of Diablo has always been the gameplay. You play because it is fun to play. Not finding anything that represents an improvement is of course frustrating. Nevertheless, you keep going because you simply enjoy it:
If you do not enjoy the core experience of Diablo 4, no definition of endgame will satisfy you. I like the gameplay, which is why for me (and many others), the constant repetition of the same content is quite entertaining.
But if you only think: “This is all crap because seals, loot, CC, horses, inventory, or whatever,” then that is a sign that the core gameplay does not satisfy you.
One should better ask themselves what the real issue is before calling for improvements. The often criticized grind for reputation, for example, was quite cool for him. You do not have to do it all at once.
The user receives much agreement from the community. Once you stop getting too caught up in criticism and ignore the sometimes loud complaints, you have much more fun with the game.
Nevertheless, yxalitis also has some criticism of Diablo 4. For example, items and loot are indeed in need of improvement. The heavily advertised unique items are disappointing and not build-defining, as originally promised.
Moreover, it is far too hard to get the best of these items at all. Right here there is currently a big discussion, because for some players, these great “Uber Uniques” are more of a deterrent:
The most successful streamer on Twitch is the Franco-Canadian Félix “xQc” Lengyel (27). He has now become the target of an action that would probably shrink the ego of every man. In a podcast, 8 women were shown a picture of the streamer with a bare upper body and asked if they would go out with him. The answers were devastating.
Who is he?
xQc was, until 5 years ago, a moderately successful Overwatch pro, specializing in Reinhardt, who was noticeable for his lack of self-control and constantly got into trouble for insulting people left and right. When penalized, he stated that it was not his fault, the Twitch chat raised him. Then you just become like him.
When his e-sport career inevitably ended in his early 20s and no team wanted him anymore, he began a Twitch career where he achieved a meteoric rise with his “raw, hyperactive” style. He was apparently a figure many viewers could identify with.
In the last 5 years, xQc has streamed like crazy, surpassing all English-speaking streamers and has been number 1 on Twitch for several years. Privately, things are only going suboptimally for him: He apparently has a turbulent relationship behind him and is now struggling with several problems. For instance, a $273,000 sports car is owned by his ex-girlfriend.
xQc is currently still the most successful streamer on Twitch over the course of the year. He will probably soon lose the spot to KaiCenat, as xQc is now seen more frequently on Kick thanks to a mega-offer and streams less on Twitch.

8 women say: They would not go out with xQc
This is what he had to deal with now: In a podcast that was also broadcast as a video, the host asked 8 women who are roughly the same age as xQc if they would go out with him.
He seems to make it clear: In such abstract situations, women would say that wealth in a man does not matter to them, but in reality, money does play a role.

They probably like a different type: I am a cave goblin
He then says he is not offended. The women are “club-going, extroverted super party girls.” They would prefer a different type of man: a masculine, bearded, cool guy who sounds like he is into the scene and entertainment. That is not him.
They have very specific ideas about a man, and that is all okay.
I am a cave goblin. I have a smaller pool of people to go out with. It is just how it is.
This “it is what it is” has now become a catchphrase of xQc. He always mumbles the phrase when he is totally dissatisfied with something but has to come to terms with it. When he talks about his on-off girlfriend/ex-wife Adept, you hear the “it is what it is” particularly often.
To do this, he showed them a picture of xQc from his Instagram channel, where the 27-year-old takes a selfie with his shirt off.
This Instagram image of xQc left the ladies completely indifferent.
The reactions are devastating:
One mumbled: “I am taller than him”
Another said: “He needs to eat a sandwich”
In general, rejection and lack of interest from the ladies is evident.
The host then asks:
“Let me put it this way: Does it change anything that he is one of the most-watched Twitch streamers? The guy probably makes millions $ a month?
Still zero interest from the women. One says: “That makes it even worse.” Another mumbles: “I don’t even know what Twitch is.”
Apparently, xQc cannot score with this target audience.
“Money doesn’t matter until it comes to who pays the bill”
How does xQc react to this? He says about the disinterest that women don’t care about money until the waiter brings the bill. Then they would look at “the guy on the other side of the table.”
He seems to make it clear: In such abstract situations, women would say that wealth in a man does not matter to them, but in reality, money does play a role.

There are many strong endgame builds for Diablo 4 that can eliminate your opponents in just one hit. However, some players take it even further and cause literal overkills. One build is now so powerful that you can deal almost 2 billion damage.
What kind of build is this? YouTuber Moxsy (via youtube.com) completed some nightmare dungeons in a video with his druid. He himself realized at a later point that his build was so powerful that he could deal up to 1.8 billion damage. Every opponent in his path is sent to the virtual afterlife with just one hit of his electric claws, and that without any problems.
We will show you what you need to pay attention to and why this is likely one of the strongest builds.
You buff yourself with blood howl, cyclone armor, and hurricane and tear apart your opponents with your normal attacks. The interesting thing here is that your damage continues to increase.

Why is the build so strong? This build leverages several mechanics and aspects in the game that lead to your critical hits being activated more often. Thus, you initially receive damage numbers in the millions, which then shoot into the billions on the second hit.
If you are a druid and having difficulties in the endgame, this build might be just right for you. You deal massive damage and have a high chance of survival because the enemies hardly have time to hit you.
In World of Warcraft there is currently a nasty bug. With a bit of bad luck, you might delete one of your beloved characters – although you don’t want that at all.
A nasty error in World of Warcraft is currently causing shocking moments. Players are losing their beloved characters that they “accidentally” delete. The fault lies with a bug that came into the game with the patch 10.1.5 Rifts in Time.
What kind of bug is this? According to Blizzard, it can happen that when deleting a character, a different character is selected than the one you actually intended. If you want to delete an ancient rubbish twink, it might happen that you accidentally select your main character and send it to data nirvana.
How can this be prevented? Since this is a “pretty hefty” bug, you should probably just not delete any characters for now. However, it is to be expected that such an error will be fixed very soon with a hotfix. If you absolutely want to delete characters until then, pay double attention to what is actually being deleted.
The trailer for the latest patch, Rifts in Time:

What to do if the wrong character was deleted? Fortunately, deleting a character in World of Warcraft is not really a permanent matter. It is always possible to restore deleted characters. Therefore, even when accidentally deleting the wrong character, no significant damage can occur.
However, be aware that some things cannot be undone during a character restoration. If your character is in a guild or community and you delete it, it will not automatically rejoin the guild or community upon restoration. In such a case, you will have to re-establish those contacts.
