Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 2 minutes

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom offers you, like its predecessor, a large number of cookable recipes. A new feature is your own recipe log, which stores your successful cooking attempts and can then be viewed without any problem for recreating.

How do you cook in Tears of the Kingdom? To roast fruit or meat, simply hold the item in your hand and hold it over the fire for a short time. For proper dishes that heal you or provide benefits like stamina, you should go to one of the cooking pots located throughout Hyrule, take up to 5 ingredients in hand and cook them there.

Here you have a list of helpful recipes from Tears of the Kingdom.

Companies bring games with exclusive features only for PS5 and Xbox Series X because PC players are not good enough

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

The manufacturer 2K presented its new NBA 2K23 in 2022. While the PS5 and Xbox Series X received an improved version, PC players are left empty-handed and must be satisfied with an old version. This is not an isolated case.

Sports games like NBA or FIFA are known for releasing a new version every year. Manufacturers promise new and improved features so that an upgrade is worth it for the players.

NBA 2K23 also received a new version, including a next-gen version. However, 2K has now stated that this version can only be played by people on the PS5 and Xbox Series X. The PC does not offer enough performance and must still make do with the inferior version. This is stated in the official statement:

Unfortunately, NBA 2K23 Next Gen is not available on PC. The only two console generations that allow for a next-gen game are the PS5 and the Xbox Series X. This is mainly because the PS5 and the Xbox Series X provide the speed and technology that the game needs to function optimally.

What are the reactions? Many gamers still express surprise that some developers consider the PC to be the inferior platform for games compared to consoles (via reddit.com). After all, the PS5 offers the performance of a Radeon RX 6700 XT, which is more of a mid-range than a high-end.

Others reply: The share of PC players in the sports segment is simply too small for manufacturers to invest much time and money in corresponding ports. Games like NBA and also the FIFA series have been big on consoles for years. Also, FIFA 22 also offered PC players only a watered-down version because the PC market has long played a subordinate role in sports.

At the time, EA argued regarding FIFA 22: If one wanted to bring the great features to PC, then one would force the PC community to upgrade their systems. And games like FIFA have been treated poorly on PC for a long time.

In hindsight, the decision by 2K actually turned out to be sensible in the end. Because in this way, the community says, they did not receive a bad port that ran poorly on PC. Because PC players have experienced enough bad releases in recent months.

Many current AAA games for PC suffer from technical problems

Why are PC players complaining so loudly? The current situation looks anything but good for PC players. Many games celebrating their release right now, come to the market in extremely poor condition. The long-awaited Last of Us for PC was technically buggy, and the new Star Wars: Jedi Survivor was a technical disaster.

Accordingly, many PC players are showing anger and disappointment. They feel let down by large developers and publishers when they always receive the inferior version of the game.

At least there is a glimmer of hope:

The last beta of Diablo 4 excites the players but receives sad praise: ‘Actually optimized for PC’

The MMORPG Guild Wars 2 continues with a major update – Players finally want less green

Jakob Gerden Jakob Gerden Reading time 2 minutes

ArenaNet, the developer behind the Guild Wars series, recently revealed that at the end of May it will finally be here: The second free update will continue the story of End of Dragons, the current expansion of Guild Wars 2. Fans are excited about what’s next and are also relieved in the meantime. The reason for this may surprise some of you.

What kind of update is this? After the first update What lies beneath? – the sixteenth chapter of the story – was released on February 28, 2023, the second free update titled What lies within? will follow at the end of May for the current expansion. Guild Wars 2 places, just like The Elder Scrolls Online, a lot of emphasis on the story.

During this, the meta-event that started in February in the Gyala Basin will now come to an end. Specifically, in addition to the story expansion, you can expect the following features:

  • The Special-Ops-armor set
  • The Mining Hand Drill-mace
  • The Xunlai Nephrite Crusher-hammer
  • A mini Phoenix
  • New collection challenges in the Jade-Bot-Drone-mode
  • Target exercises with siege turtles
  • Skiff races

If you are not yet familiar with the current expansion of Guild Wars 2, be sure to check out everything you need to know about the End of Dragons-DLC here.

Fans have become weary of the neon green style in End of Dragons

What do the fans say? On Reddit (via Reddit), users are looking forward to the end of the End of Dragons-expansion, as they now hope for new information about upcoming content. User JasonLucas writes: This is also the last EoD patch. That means we will soon get news about the next expansion.

Some fans suspect that with the update to the End of Dragons-DLC, the direction of the new expansion will at least be teased. In addition to Guild Wars 2, there are also other MMORPGs that focus heavily on story.

Moreover, many Reddit users express their hopeful sentiments about the end of something that could very well surprise, namely the possibly overused neon green color. The armors, weapons, and the whole DLC are heavily infused with the green jade rock. Reddit users capture it succinctly:

  • User JubX: I have nothing against green, I’m just kind of annoyed with the AMOUNT of green since EoD launched.
  • User teknim: Man, I’ve had enough of the annoying green color.

Overwatch 2 has disappointed all fans and is a testament to Blizzard’s incompetence

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Blizzard has buried the PvE mode of Overwatch 2. MyMMO demon Cortyn is furious because this only shows one thing: They still haven’t understood what really matters to fans.

The release of Overwatch 2 as a pure “multiplayer” experience already caused quite a stir at the end of 2022. But it didn’t matter. We were told that the PvE mode would come “sometime next year.” So my friends and I were full of hope. Just a few more weeks of despair in PvP to cement our “Bronze 5” ranking before we finally get the PvE mode.

That was what we always wanted. After all, the grand Overwatch cinematics opened up a huge world:

  • I wanted to experience how Reinhardt and Ana completed their missions together back then.
  • I wanted to be there when Widowmaker and Ana have a duel in which Ana ultimately loses her eye.
  • I wanted to play how Doomfist rises to become the nasty underground boss.
  • I wanted to see how the slightly crazy Sigma finds his place in Talon.

Since 2019, I was full of anticipation. A level of anticipation that I otherwise only had for truly grand titles like Mass Effect or a new Final Fantasy.

But now Blizzard has taken that joy away and has scrapped the PvE mode with the biggest bullshit explanation I’ve heard in a long, long time.

Overwatch Shambali Reaper Shrug title title 1280x720
Simply over – the dream of an Overwatch campaign.

Blizzard realizes after 32 years that live games need attention

I am speechless. Even though we at MeinMMO haven’t reported on every leak – there were countless of them. Clips of cutscenes, insights into upcoming PvE maps, talent trees, and the course of the story. I was hyped. The absolutely grandiose Kiriko cinematic had multiplied my anticipation for everything to come.

What triggers me the most, however, is the justification. The PvE mode was scrapped because the live game with its seasons and events requires so much attention and energy. Unfortunately, there’s not enough strength and energy left to develop a “completely separate game” on the side.

Really, Blizzard? A company that has been running live games like World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, and Diablo for many years, providing regular updates and seasons, suddenly realizes that it takes a lot of energy and developers for that?

A company known for great game worlds and fantastic PvE experiences now has to sheepishly say in a dev update on a completely different topic: “Yes, we can’t do it in the quality you deserve.”

You really want to tell this to the fans who have been waiting for the game for years?

The frustration is great – and absolutely justified

I think little of insulting or even threatening developers – unfortunately, that is happening again and is always the wrong reaction. But the underlying frustration of hundreds of thousands of fans who have been waiting for Overwatch 2 for years and are now disappointed by the question about the PvE mode in the form of “Ah, eto … bleh!”-memes is unfathomable to me.

To put it a bit casually: “I’m maxed out on handling your bullshit.”

When Jeff Kaplan left the Overwatch team, I clung to the thin straw that his vision of a PvE mode was already well advanced. Now I have to bitterly and frustratedly realize that the Dinoflask parody contains more truth than any of us could ever imagine:

I really hope that Blizzard has miscalculated here. I hope they underestimate how many people are actually playing Overwatch 2 “only” because they are waiting for the PvE mode. At least in the comments on the game’s subreddit or on YouTube, the crowd is being loud right now. Many want to turn their backs on Overwatch 2, and their love for the game has been completely killed by this announcement. A roadmap with many band-aids doesn’t help, which cynics only see as “new items in the shop with mini-event.”

I have sympathy for the developers who have been working with enthusiasm on this big PvE mode for the last 4 to 5 years and now have to accept that a large part of their work will never be released. That all those thousands of hours of work simply evaporate – because Blizzard, unfortunately for the umpteenth time, has failed its own requirements and chooses the easiest way out.

Maybe the “hero missions” that are supposed to come in season 6 will be really great. Maybe the new game mode will be really fun. Maybe the support hero will be super.

But you know what? I don’t care anymore. I really thought that after the debacle of Warcraft III: Reforged something like this couldn’t happen a second time.

But that’s about the only positive thing in this story, Blizzard. You still manage to surprise me. I just wish it didn’t hurt so much.

Pokémon GO: Trainers warn what they should never use the Master Ball for

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 2 minutes

The Master Ball lands in Pokémon GO. Trainers are already thinking about what to use it for – and what definitely not to use it for.

This is the Master Ball: As Niantic announced, the Master Ball will be released in Pokémon GO. On May 22, the new item is set to arrive as part of a special research.

The special thing about the ball: It will be able to catch any wild Pokémon with a 100% success rate, whether from raids or from the wild. This makes it one of the best items you can have in the game.

However, the ball will probably only be available on rare occasions. Accordingly, trainers are already considering: Where should we throw this thing?

Trainers clarify: Don’t waste your Master Ball

What should you not use the ball for? As soon as the Master Ball was announced, trainers already warned in the Pokémon GO subreddit: Don’t waste the Master Ball on shiny versions of legendary Pokémon.

The thought: If you find such a rare specimen in the game, you might be tempted to ensure that you catch the monster as safely as possible. But that’s not necessary, as shiny legendaries already have a 100% catch rate. Perhaps not all players, especially newcomers, are aware of this.

This means you don’t need to worry at all when trying to catch such a monster – and certainly don’t waste a Master Ball. Instead, as trainer “pierreo93” suggests, just throw a Razz Berry for double candies and catch the monster with a regular ball (via reddit).

What do trainers want to use the Master Ball for? So far, one type of monster has stood out for which trainers are currently planning to use the ball: The legendary Galar birds (via reddit).

The Galar variants of Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos can be obtained through the daily adventure incense, but just encountering the monsters is incredibly rare. They are hardly to be found.

Moreover, they are very hard to catch if you happen to encounter them. They have an extremely high flee rate, which means if you don’t catch them with the first ball, there’s a high chance they’ll flee from the battle. Then the catching chance is gone.

Accordingly, the rare birds are currently the most popular answer when it comes to what you would use the Master Ball for. However, some trainers speculate that they might also be able to acquire the birds in other ways in the future, such as through raids. But nothing official is known yet.

Do you already know what you will use the Master Ball for as soon as it is available? Let us know in the comments!

In Pokémon GO, the current season is slowly coming to an end. To keep you updated, you can find all events in May 2023 in Pokémon GO that will still take place by then.

Miners are currently desperately trying to sell thousands of graphics cards – Players warn against buying such GPUs

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 3 minutes

A video is currently making the rounds: Here are thousands of graphics cards carefully stacked on top of each other. Many believe: Miners are trying to sell their graphics cards before it’s too late. Gamers warn against buying such GPUs.

On reddit a short, 20-second video was posted: Here you can see hundreds of graphics cards carefully stacked on the floor.

Some explain that these must be graphics cards from miners: Because scalpers wouldn’t take the graphics cards out of their packaging, thus reducing the value of the GPUs. Miners, on the other hand, put dozens of GPUs into so-called rigs, where they are supposed to mine valuable currency.

Such images are also the reason why many say that you shouldn’t buy these used GPUs, in order not to support the greed of the miners. After all, it was the miners who drove up the prices of GPUs so high.

Additionally, the graphics cards are stacked without packaging, which could scratch and damage the GPUs.

Where does the video come from? The short video comes from the TikTok channel Techzone_Import, which describes itself as a wholesaler in Dubai. However, the dealer’s page is somewhat unclear, as the site is only from 2023 and an imprint cannot be found. Nevertheless, it is not unusual for wholesalers to buy thousands of cards from miners very cheaply to still make money:

Miners have been trying to get rid of their graphics cards for months

What does the current situation look like? These images are not necessarily new. A few months ago, desperate miners were already trying to get rid of their graphics cards.

The main reason is the significant loss of value of cryptocurrencies. If you look at Bitcoin over the last 6 months, the value has fallen from over 40,000 Euros per Bitcoin to just under 20,000 Euros in recent months. Meanwhile, the price has stabilized again and is now around 25,000 Euros.

The currency has still lost nearly 50% of its value. The value of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others have been falling for months and they have long left their highs from 2021.

Many are now hoping to at least limit their losses and are therefore selling thousands of graphics cards. Some are using quite sneaky tricks and tried to sell their worn-out GPUs as new, which caused astonishment.

Bitcoin Price

Prices for graphics cards are lower today than in 2021

Compared to 2020/2021, the market for hardware and tech has calmed down again. Consoles like the PS5 can now be purchased everywhere, and you no longer have to fight with other users for a handful of consoles.

The situation is similar with graphics cards. The prices for graphics cards are significantly lower compared to 2020/2021 and are once again much closer to the recommended retail price. You can now get an RTX 3080 for 800 Euros and no longer have to pay 1,300 Euros or more.

Nevertheless, many wonder if one can buy graphics cards from such a mining system. Because the prices are often very low, and many still find the normal prices too high. After all, an RTX 3080 for 350 Euros is still very tempting for many gamers:

Miners are now selling GPUs in bulk at very low prices – Should you buy graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia now?

Twitch: Is there soon pizza from Trymacs and Knossi? Fans discover secret project

Lydia Lydia Reading time 2 minutes

Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler and Jens “Knossi” Knossalla are among the largest Twitch streamers in Germany. Now the two want to use their joint reach for a new project – but the big reveal will probably be cancelled: Attentive fans seem to have beaten them to it.

What is this project about? Trymacs and Knossi are apparently planning to open a nationwide pizzeria chain in Germany. This can be inferred from a website that is currently spreading on social networks – the “Happy Slice” page in progress.

The two Twitch streamers, who regularly appear in our top 5, would probably have imagined the reveal differently.

TikTok account teases streamer project

What does it entail? Over the weekend, a TikTok account named happyslice.de started posting short clips featuring Trymacs, Knossi, and other influencers like UnsympathischTV and Aditotoro.

The videos feature a light aircraft, Knossi seems to be attempting a parachute jump, and the streamers take turns saying the slogan “Happy Slice, Happy Life”. Additionally, the account refers to May 25th.

If you follow the linked website, you can see a countdown that currently shows 8 days and nearly 6.5 hours remaining (as of March 16, 19:30). However, some fans might not have been able to wait that long to find out what lies behind the mysterious hints.

A German Twitch streamer is already quite familiar with pizza:

Fans make website public – more than a week too soon

What has now been made public? Around 2 a.m., a Reddit user shared a link to another page of the website. This part was probably not meant to be public yet, as it is visibly unfinished and full of placeholders.

Nevertheless, there is already quite a bit to see: various images of the Twitch streamers, including one where Trymacs lovingly feeds Knossi pizza. Furthermore, we already learn what types are likely to be available – both meat lovers and vegetarians and vegans will probably find something to their liking, so much can be said.

Additionally, there are hints about what the other video snippets on the TikTok account are about: because the influencer pizza should always be there, even when parachuting. A (placeholder) review from Bastian, 42 years old, reveals that he already enjoyed the pizza.

Please keep in mind that the website is apparently a leak and not the official announcement from the streamers. The information shown may still change.

Whether this is actually a mishap or a clever advertising campaign and how the Twitch streamers will react to the reveal remains to be seen.

Fortnite: 18-year-old buys status symbol for 193,000 € – Brags about 5 minutes on Twitch, then everything goes wrong

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

18-year-old Cody “Clix” Conrod became a successful Twitch streamer with the online shooter Fortnite. Now he has fulfilled a dream and treated himself to the status symbol of his generation: a Lamborghini Huracán, a sports car for €193,000. But when he proudly presents his car to his viewers on Twitch, a friend shows up and brings him back down to reality.

What status symbol did Clix buy? The 18-year-old treated himself to a “Lamborghini Huracán”. When he proudly introduced the car to his Twitch chat, the new car had about 18 kilometers on the clock. Clix said he paid “a good price” for it. We’re talking about around $210,000.

The “Lambo” is a status symbol of the “Bitcoin” generation:

  • Even the streamer DrDisrespect was known in 2017 for his fascination with “the Lambo”.
  • In crypto and trading forums, young investors constantly dream of making so much money with the next deal that they can finally afford the “Lambo”.
  • In German Twitch, gamers like Orangemorange measure their success by whether they can afford the next tank of fuel for the Lambo.

This is how Clix presents himself: Clix beams and almost bursts with pride as he wants to present his Lamborghini to his Twitch viewers. To make it clear what a big deal this is for him, he says: In one photo, he’s even smiling. That’s something really special. Otherwise, he never smiles in photos.

Now he just wants to quickly get feedback from his viewers: Which of the 3 pictures he took in all the excitement should he post on Twitter and Instagram?

  • The one where he leans coolly against the Lambo and looks out into the distance
  • The one where he is sitting on the ground in front of the car with his legs spread
  • Or the Lambo pure, without him at all

Presentation not going as planned

This puts Clix off a bit: The problem for Clix becomes clear quickly in his Twitch clip. The Twitch chat doesn’t react as reverently as he had hoped:

  • Now he already has the Lambo
  • But how can he present it on social media so that he doesn’t come off as totally stupid?

His chat certainly states that he looks “sassy” in his photos, meaning somewhat cheeky and also a bit conceited. The hairstyle doesn’t fit. The grin doesn’t look good. Somehow everything is not that great.

But Clix insists: It only looks conceited, he’s just happy in the photo. The hairstyle is terrible, there’s nothing more to be done about it. He’s just a “walking meme.”

How can I post a Lambo without coming across as a conceited jerk?

Clix is clear: He now needs the opinion of an expert. “Stable Ronaldo” (20), his best buddy from Fortnite, shows up in the Twitch channel. But from now on, it only gets worse.

Clix asks his buddy: Which pictures can he post on Twitter so he doesn’t come across like a “douchebag,” a conceited jerk?

His friend, Stable Ronaldo (20), explains to him that it’s impossible. The train has long left:
“You’re 18 and buying a Lamborghini, of course, you look like a jerk.”

Clix seems to slowly realize that he can’t win. The photo that he likes so much, where he sits with his legs apart in front of the car and smiles for once in his life, is dismissed by his friend as ridiculous. He should rather burn it.

Whoever took that photo had no best interests in mind.

His friend explains to him, whoever spreads the legs like that as a man, draws attention to what is visible between his legs… or rather not:

Who needs enemies with friends like these

To Clix’s dismay, a Twitch donation comes in that a robot voice reads out loud:

This money could go to so many people in need, but instead you buy a fancy car to flaunt in front of the less fortunate. You disgust me. I thought you were different from these LA celebrities.

Clix looks almost desperate at that moment.

His expression seems to say: It’s just typical that someone like that had to come: “What kind of dono is that?” he asks, apparently hoping for his friend’s support.

“I mean, he’s not wrong,” replies his friend. Who immediately posts it on Twitter under the poser post with the carefully selected pictures.

With 154,000 views, this is now the most viewed response to the tweet.

You can see: Who buys a Lambo has completely new problems. And real friends are simply priceless.

Germany supports role-playing game that achieves 91% on Steam with €100,000 – €120,000 goes to game with 68%

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

On May 11, the German Computer Game Award was presented. The DCP 2023 is associated with €800,000 in prize money for German games. We at MeinMMO look at which 3 games received the highest cash prizes and observe an interesting phenomenon when sorting the games by their Steam reviews.

What makes the German Computer Game Award so different? The high cash prizes tied to the award cause a bit of astonishment abroad. Prize money of €100,000 is not found at comparable events elsewhere.

The English-speaking gaming journalists at PC Gamer write in amazement: When Geoff Keighley awards his video game prize in December, there’s no check for Hideo Kojima.

In Germany, it’s different, as the Computer Game Award is a type of economic promotion from the Federal Republic for German game studios. The award is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action – personally by Green Jesus, Robert Habeck.

Overall, the DCP distributes €800,000 across 15 categories.

An JRPG wins the award for best German game 2023

Who was the big winner of the evening? The award for “Best German Game” went to the JRPG “Chained Echoes,” which was released on Steam on December 8, 2022. It is from Matthias Linda and was published by Deck 13.

On Steam, it costs €25 and has 91% positive reviews.

In the Steam reviews, it says about the game:

  • “If you have any interest in JRPGs, play this game. This is the best JRPG that has been released in a long, long time.”
  • “A masterpiece. One of the best JRPGs and one of the best indie games I have ever played.”
  • It is a “fantastic tribute to classic JRPGs.”

So evidently, the jury selected a real gem for the “Best German Game” and rewarded it with €100,000.

For the DCP, only games that were developed at least 80% in Germany are allowed. The winners are determined in a two-stage process:

  • First, a panel of experts discusses the nominations
  • then the main jury selects the winning titles

Chained Echoes: Launch Trailer

€120,000 for “serious” game

Who received the most money? The game “Beholder 3” took home a total of 3 cash prizes:

  • €30,000 for “Best German Game – 2nd/3rd Place”
  • €40,000 for “Best Serious Game”
  • €50,000 went to the studio, “Paintbucket Games” (Berlin) as “German Studio of the Year” on top

But Beholder 3 fares much worse on Steam compared to Chained Echoes. It is a “dystopian strategy simulation” where you spy on tenants, employees, and superiors.

It has only 68% positive Steam reviews and costs €15 there.

In the Steam reviews, it says: The game has potential, but is ruined by game-breaking bugs. Others criticize a poor translation and slow dialogue options.

However, there are also people who praise the game as very entertaining – especially fans of the series. Beholder 1 was released on Steam in 2016 and has garnered 91% positive reviews to this day.

LoL Studio Riot Games pays over 100 million US dollars to 1,548 women, also introduces a new CEO

Lydia Lydia Reading time 3 minutes

At Riot Games, the studio behind League of Legends and Valorant, there is a lot going on. Shortly after new details of a lawsuit from 2018 emerged, the CEO announced his resignation.

What’s the story with the money? The payments are said to mark the end of a class action lawsuit regarding gender discrimination that began in 2018. In 2021, the lawsuit was settled, and new details have now come to light through a court filing submitted by Rust Consulting in April (via Axios).

What was the lawsuit about? We at MeinMMO already reported on the lawsuit in 2018. At that time, a former and a current employee sued the studio behind League of Legends and Valorant. They accused Riot Games of paying women less and promoting them less frequently than men.

There was also said to be a sort of macho culture at Riot Games: Among other things, managers allegedly maintained a list of women they found attractive.

In 2019, it was agreed to establish a fund of 10 million USD. This was to be distributed among all women who had worked at Riot Games in the previous 5 years. However, the California Department of Fair Employment & Housing raised objections to the deal.

In 2021, there was finally a “historic settlement” of 100 million USD between Riot Games and the plaintiffs, which was approved by a judge in 2022 (via Axios).

Former Developers of Riot Games are working on a new MOBA – Show first trailer

Some women are to receive more than 150,000 $

What’s new? Now the terms of the settlement have been revealed. The details come from a filing submitted by Rust Consulting, which has been managing the process, in April.

  • Initial payments for women who worked for the company range from 2,500 to 5,000 USD. Depending on employment status and duration of employment, additional payments of up to 156,056 $ may also be possible.
  • This applies to all who had not opted out of the settlement. According to Rust’s filing, 7 women opted out of the settlement.

Has anything changed at Riot? The studio commissioned its own investigation at the time, which concluded that “gender discrimination (in pay or promotion), sexual harassment, and retaliation are not systemic problems at Riot” (via PC Gamer).

Since the lawsuit, Riot Games has taken various measures, including hiring a Chief Diversity Officer, internal reporting, and plans for its workplace culture, and publishes annual diversity and inclusion reports.

However, there was a setback in 2019 when another lawsuit was filed against Riot and CEO Nicolo Laurent. The former employee Sharon O’Donell, who had worked as an executive assistant for Laurent, accused him of inappropriate and sexually suggestive behavior.

Another internal investigation concluded at the time that there was no evidence of harassment, discrimination, or retaliation against Sharon O’Donnell. It is unclear whether the lawsuit is ongoing or has been settled.

However, shortly after the details of the class action lawsuit emerged, Riot has now announced that Laurent will resign from his position as CEO.

CEO resigns – for wife and family

What’s the story with the resignation? In a letter to employees, Laurent states that the decision has been planned for some time and gives personal reasons for his resignation:

I can imagine that this news comes suddenly, but honestly, it’s a decision that has been on my mind for some time. [My time at Riot is] a story I am very proud of, but to be honest, it has also been exhausting.

Not the grind, the hours, the stress … I have a tank build, so I can handle that part.

It’s actually the personal compromises that have been hard, and the sacrifices my wife and children have made for my career, including all our relocations.

Nicolo Laurent via Riot Games

Now, Laurent says, the family wants to move back to France. He does not intend to join another company but will continue to work in an advisory capacity for Riot.

A. Dylan Jadeja, who joined Riot in 2011 as Chief Financial Officer and has been president since 2017, will be the new CEO of Riot Games. In the coming months, Laurent and Jadeja are to work together as the latter takes on the role of CEO.

Laurent did not address the lawsuit or the accusations of a macho culture in his letter, but he highlighted “empathy” as one of Jadeja’s greatest strengths. Jadeja, in turn, issued a short letter explaining that he wants to do “some things” differently than his predecessor.

Riot is to become the world’s most trusted and authentic gaming company – by players, for players.

Diablo 4: Players are looking forward to the release, but hope for a change: “Everything is just too close”

Nicole Wakulczyk Nicole Wakulczyk Reading time 2 minutes

The beta of Diablo 4 was a complete success, and the release is eagerly awaited. However, there were several criticisms from the community in addition to praise – one concerns the camera perspective.

What is the community complaining about? The beta was well received by most players, many wish that the game would be released immediately. Some criticisms are perhaps unavoidable.

One of these is the camera perspective, as it is not only important for exploration but also for having a good overview in battles.

In a Reddit thread about the popular game series, the user “ohlawdhecodin” also noted that while the world looks great, he cannot “feel” it. He also stated that he cannot see the boss well when he is fighting it.

Enemies seem overall too large. Everything is simply too close. The user feels more like he is playing Assassin’s Creed in an isometric perspective. He wishes for a zoom-out function.

Several users in the thread agree with him. They feel like they are playing in a tiny room and cannot oversee everything. Especially for classes that fight from a distance, this poses a situational problem. “I hate it. Positioning feels much less important.“ writes “forkandspoon2011“.

In the English-speaking Blizzard Forum, users note that the camera perspective causes them motion sickness (motion sickness).

In a YouTube video, “Chrane” describes his problem with the zoom: He finds the zoom in the open world appropriate, but the zoom on the character in cities is too small. He describes that the camera is too close to the character and wishes for an option to zoom out.

The technology is already there, as the zoom changes as soon as you leave the city. Players with a widescreen monitor have an advantage as they can see more.

In the YouTube comments, the player “Mark Foreman Jr“ notes, for example, that he finds the low zoom especially too close during boss fights. The user “Vujkanos“ finds that the zoom function in Lost Ark has been solved best.

Whether the developers will change anything about the zoom remains to be seen. One thing is certain: it is not possible to please all players; a setting option would certainly be welcome by many.

Why such a feature would not be so easy to implement has been explained to us by a professional here:

4 new items released with patch 13.10 in LoL

Niko Hernes Niko Hernes Reading time 3 minutes

In League of Legends, in addition to champion and game changes in the new Patch 13.10, a lot is changing in the area of items. The existing legendary and mythic items are being adjusted and new items are entering the Rift. We provide an overview of the 4 new items here.

The new Patch 13.10 represents a major mid-season update that aims to weaken or strengthen many areas of the game. Above all, significant item changes are meant to mix things up in the Rift.

In addition to 2 new epic items that have been added to build known items, an old acquaintance and a completely new item join the shop.

An old acquaintance returns and a new item for supporters is added

Statikk’s Shiv (Legendary):

  • 3,000 Gold
  • 45 Attack Damage
  • 20% Critical Strike Chance
  • 25% Attack Speed
  • Charged: You charge an attack through movements and attacks.
  • Electroshock: Your charged attack fires chain lightning, dealing additional magic damage of 60 -170 + 50% ability power. These charged attacks hit 6–12 targets and jump to the next target within 600 range each time they deal damage. They deal 120% additional damage to minions.
  • Build Path: Sunfire Aegis, Cloak of Agility, Iceborn Gauntlet, and 400 Gold

Statikk’s Shiv is back and will primarily be an item for ADCs, which we may also see on some assassins.

Echoes of Helia (Mythic)

  • 2,300 Gold
  • 30 Ability Power
  • 200 Health
  • 15 Ability Haste
  • 125% Base Mana Regeneration
  • Unique, Passive Soul Harvest: When you deal damage to a champion, you gain a Soul shard. When you heal or shield an ally, all Soul shards are consumed to restore health and deal magic damage per shard to the nearest enemy champion.
  • Unique, Passive Dissonance: You gain 3 Ability Power per 25% of base Mana Regeneration.
  • Mythic Passive: Empowers each of your other legendary items with 5 Ability Haste.
  • Build Path: Chalice of Harmony, Bandleglass Mirror, and 400 Gold

A new mythic support item that will work on poke supporters like Karma. But utility supporters like Milio could also make use of the item.

Two new epic items will also be introduced that are needed to build mythic or legendary items.

If you want to know how ranked placement, MMR, and league points are related, Riot has put together a video for you:

  • Build Path: Ruby Crystal, Faerie Amulet, and 250 Gold
  • Required for: Liberation Strike, Mikael’s Blessing, Echoes of Hylia

The many adjustments in Patch 13.10 should be accompanied by a champion update, which was postponed because players did not like the changes.

Known for Endless Grind MMORPG makes grind useless now, fans react divided

Jakob Gerden Jakob Gerden Reading time 3 minutes

The developer Pearl Abyss has released a trailer corresponding to the upcoming boss rush from Land of the Morning Light, the forthcoming expansion for the MMORPG Black Desert Online. With the hauntingly beautiful title “Who Lurks in the Darkness?” the trailer sets the tone for the new bosses of the region, but veterans and fans are reacting dividedly to the update.

What does the new trailer show? The new trailer teases individual bosses and their first characteristics of the upcoming content from Land of the Morning Light. Once again, the developer Pearl Abyss shows that Black Desert Online still looks good today, years after its release.

Check out the new trailer for the boss rush here.

Black Desert Online shows trailer for new bosses: Who lurks in the darkness?

Overall, there are supposed to be 9 bosses that you can face solo, but also in a group. These are:

  • Golden Pig King – a pig in a warrior corset
  • Eoduksini – an oversized crow
  • Changui – a fire devil
  • Bari – a demon
  • Songakshi – a wandering, ghostly apparition
  • Sangoon – a giant tiger
  • Gumiho – a nine-tailed fox
  • Duoksini – a cuddly monster by day, a beast by night
  • Bamboo-Legion – a wandering ghost brigade of warriors

The content update should finally address one of its biggest issues – namely the ongoing grind. In the new region, besides the mentioned bosses, there are no additional grind zones.

Restriction of Gear Score in the new area divides fans

What do fans dislike about the content? Apart from the new feature that the focus in the new zone will mainly be on bosses, Pearl Abyss aims to tackle two problems of Black Desert Online here:

  • Narrowing the gap between new players and veterans
  • Reducing the grind, which can turn into a full-time job depending on individual goals.

However, with the restriction of Gear Score (GS for short) in the new region, especially veterans now feel betrayed. One user writes on Reddit:

  • User MaleficentWindrunner: Imagine having paid 80–150 billion silver for a Blackstar offhand weapon when you only have to pay 15 billion for a green C20 weapon, and due to this restriction and weird mechanics, you end up doing more damage.

Considering that with a relatively high Gear Score you can grind around 1 billion silver per hour, one can certainly understand the statement of user MaleficentWindrunner. It feels like you have taken on what seems like an endless grind, only to be able to use just a fraction of the Gear Score in the new area.

What do fans like about the update? On the other hand, fans are looking forward to new players. Until now, newcomers often had the problem of not being able to catch up. Pearl Abyss implemented the Seasons into the game as an initial response. These are available for a limited time, as already seen in Path of Exile or the Diablo series.

The problem with that: When the season ends, the supposedly new players are thrown onto the old servers. However, with the current update, new players can now also be useful in group play against the new bosses, beyond the seasons. One user writes:

  • User PrimeGamble (via Reddit): You don’t need attack or defense points for the new region. There will be a new system where your equipment will only deal 10–20% of the damage. The rest comes from other artifacts that you will need to level. So it is really very beginner-friendly.

Whether the update fulfills its purpose remains to be seen. Although the own Gear Score is restricted, new incentives to continue grinding at the boss level arise through further items for this region.

The system behind it promises to curb the grind. However, some individuals, like Asmongold, criticize the time-gate procedure as well.

What do you think? Will you give Black Desert Online a chance? Or are you also disappointed by the restriction of equipment? Share your thoughts in our comments.

Players of the new Zelda are already despairing at the tutorial because they spend hours doing the wrong thing

Dariusz Müller Dariusz Müller Reading time 2 minutes

The tutorial of the new Zelda can take several hours and can quickly last a few hours longer if you do the wrong thing.

The new The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (TotK) offers a large map with many features to discover and plenty of puzzles for players to solve. The tutorial is no exception and follows a similar path.

As you get to know the various features of the game with Link, the protagonist of the Zelda series, and get a first impression of the gameplay, there are already some corners in the tutorial that can mislead you or distract you on your path.

Why do players despair in the tutorial? On Reddit, some players talk about aspects that cost them time in the tutorial.

One user writes, for example, that she is still struggling with the “Ultrahand” ability. This allows you to move various objects and even connect them, which can help in solving puzzles or crossing obstacles. Some Zelda players are also excited to build penises.

Another player despaired at an ice wall that he could not climb with the stamina available in the tutorial. However, after some time, he realized that a few meters further, there was a section of the wall that was not frozen. There, climbing the wall is no problem.

von Dariusz Müller

How many hours does the tutorial consume? In the tutorial of Zelda: TotK, you can indeed spend several hours. You need to find four shrines on the “Forgotten Sky Island” and solve associated puzzles.

When tackling the shrines, you also learn about fighting and the various abilities of the protagonist. This takes quite some time and can easily take 2.5 to 3 hours even with a fairly brisk play style. If you dawdle on the puzzles or do not find the right way to a shrine immediately, another hour can easily be added.

It is also possible to spend 7 or even 10 hours in the tutorial if you allow yourself to be distracted on your way. Quickly, the pursued task is forgotten, and here and there the sky island is explored or the abilities are played with.

In short: If you let yourself be distracted and do not do what your task is, then the playtime of the tutorial multiplies. A user also warns of this on Twitter, who advises players in the first hours of the game to stick to the quest log.

In general, it is advantageous to carefully observe the environment and recognize the ideal path. However, you do not need to search for the underground because we will show you how to get there:

Overwatch 2 promised a PvE mode for 4 years – It has been canceled and the fans are angry

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 3 minutes

Overwatch 2 has broken its biggest promise. The PvE mode has been canceled and will not appear. The fans are extremely angry.

At first glance, it reads like a late and very bad April Fool’s joke. When Overwatch 2 was announced nearly 4 years ago, the big “selling point” was the PvE mode that was supposed to come. Heroes were supposed to level up, unlock new abilities, and do this in a long, cooperative campaign.

But that dream is dead. In a dev update, it was announced almost “in passing”: The PvE mode with character progression is history. No further work is being done on it.

When Kiriko was released, everything seemed fine:

Start video
Overwatch 2: Der animierte Kurzfilm zur Fuchs-Heldin Kiriko

What exactly was said? Jared Neuss, the executive producer of Overwatch 2, explained in the dev talk video how the decision came about. According to him, they no longer want to withhold content in Overwatch 2 for a long time and also underestimated how many resources it takes to keep Overwatch 2 supplied with new content.

With everything we have learned about what it takes to keep this live game running, with what you deserve, we have realized that we cannot deliver the original version for the PvE that we showed in 2019. What this means is the following: We will not have this hero mode, with talent trees and long-term progression… these things are no longer in our plans.

We know that this will be disappointing for many of you, which is why we wanted to mention it before talking about the roadmap. And to be honest, this has been very hard for many of us as well. Many on the team have poured their hearts and souls into these things over the past years.

What comes instead? However, Overwatch fans do not have to go completely without PvE content. Although this may only be a weak consolation, Overwatch 2 has released a pretty packed roadmap that promises many PvE contents like “story missions” and new events.

Particularly, season 6 is supposed to be the “biggest Overwatch release yet” – there will be story missions in it, but also hero challenges for solo players, the new game mode “Flashpoint”, and a new support hero. In addition, there is supposed to be an improved system for player progression. You can view the roadmap here:

This is the community’s reaction: Devastatingly negative. Many feel betrayed and cheated. Whether in the game’s subreddit or in the comments on YouTube, there are fierce insults directed at the developers or Blizzard in general. A few (not too harsh) opinions from the community:

Incredible. PvE was the SOLE REASON why Overwatch 2 even exists, that was the thing it was advertised with. We wanted a campaign, a story, that we could dive into; these skill trees looked fantastic. I can’t believe all these promises are being broken for some live-service game nonsense for PvP that nobody wanted. I am thoroughly disappointed and from now on, I just don’t care anymore.

gavo7911 on YouTube

Hotpotato481 summarizes the feelings of many fans:

This is not disappointing. This. Is. Devastating.

I don’t understand how a company that built its reputation by creating some of the most beloved stories ever, especially PvE experiences with some multiplayer elements, can now just drop a PvE vision like it no longer knows how to build a skill tree. You captured the fascination of so many people who fell in love with your game world. You were on the verge of finding ways to give us a taste of that larger world.

You literally had lightning in a bottle with Overwatch.
You not only shattered the glass, but also poisoned the ocean and killed the fish.

Demzicrisi6943 says:

Only Blizzard would ask itself, “Should we stick with the thing that makes our game unique and special?” And only Blizzard would answer itself “No!”.

What do you think about this? Can you cope with it and still play Overwatch 2? Or is the game dead for you now?

LoL: Pro harshly insulted the mother of a caster – Now Riot has decided on the punishment

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

In League of Legends there has been a confrontation between the Belgian LoL professional Yasin “Nisqy” Dinçer and a Spanish caster in recent days. After tensions flared, Riot Games has now decided to address the incident with a warning.

What was the situation? Nisqy is the mid-laner for the Spanish team MAD Lions, the European champions.

Currently, he is competing in the MSI tournament with his team, and as is common for European teams, they are experiencing significant defeats against the top teams from Korea.

When they played against T1, Faker’s team, they suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 0-3. One match was lost in 17 minutes – that is an embarrassment.

Start video

Belgian criticized for being too cheerful after defeat

How the argument started: After the match, a Spanish caster posted a picture on Twitter, comparing two professionals who had lost for MAD Lions:

  • The Spanish jungler Elyolya looks utterly shattered as he walks away
  • The Belgian Nisqy, however, seems to be smiling in his picture

The caster wrote: That is the difference between a winner and a loser. These pictures also reflect the performance level of both in the game.

In summary: The noble Spaniard takes the defeat seriously and suffers, while the Belgian laughs it off.

How the argument escalated: Nisqy then replied in a tweet: “Is your mother a whore?” but quickly deleted the tweet. He said he didn’t want to create more problems.

How is this being discussed? The experts were largely on Nisqy’s side and found the criticism that he didn’t look “sad enough” to be wrong – also Nisqy’s performance wasn’t as bad as portrayed.

A professional said: Twitter is full of people with a lot of opinions and little knowledge. People criticize teams without knowing how they actually play and function.

Riot Games issues a warning

This is Riot Games’ decision now: As a professional, Nisqy must adhere to Riot Games’ rules. Therefore, the outburst resulted in an investigation and decision.

But apparently, Riot Games also understands that Nisqy was provoked on Twitter. Therefore, he is only receiving a warning for “behavior that is not appropriate for a member of the LEC.”

In other cases, professional players have received fines ranging from 500 to 5,000 euros or even a suspension of 2 games.

  • “Sea of Shadows”, European Dead Zone

Endgame: Raid Challenges and Dungeon Rotation

Farmable Endgame on a weekly rotation: In the further endgame, the Legacy Rotations are waiting. Both the rotating raid and the rotating dungeon are farmable. This means you can complete the individual encounters repeatedly to receive various items and complete your collection. Including possible Exotics that are available in these contents.

Bungie will expand the activity rotations of content further from Season 22. Then players will not only be able to play raids and dungeons as “Legacy”, but also old Exotic missions.

Where is there a bonus this week?

  • Last week, Bungie is offering a bonus in all three playlist activities. This means you will gain ranks faster in the Crucible, Vanguard, and Gambit.

Weekly Activities

With the weekly reset, several activities and challenges have been updated again, offering players a variety of rewards and progress, making them better Guardians through repetition.

Lightfall – Weekly Campaign Mission

  • “Decline”
    • Secure the Radial Mast before Calus and his troops “the Veil” reach.

Ascendant Challenge – Dreaming City

All sources for top loot in Season 20 of Destiny 2

With Season 20, the era of the knightly Guardians in Mara Sov’s Queen’s Guard also ends

So you know where you can effectively grab your top loot, we provide you with a quick overview of activities every week.

This is the new max level: In the new season of resistance (Season 20), the power level rises drastically. The maximum power level of your gear rises to 1,810. This means the power level at the start of the new Season 20 has increased by +210 compared to the previous Season 19.

  • In Season 20 of Lightfall, Guardians start at power level 1,600.
  • The soft cap is at 1,750.
  • The powerful cap is at 1,800.
  • With top loot, you can bring yourself to the hard cap of 1,810.
The new Season 21, on the other hand, will not bring any further increase of the power level into the game. Thus, the level stress is eliminated and Guardians can play relaxed and without pressure.

Steam: Get the biggest hits from the story forge BioWare 90% off – 500 hours for 20 euros

Maik Schneider Maik Schneider Reading time 2 minutes

You submitted your bridge day early enough and now have a nice long weekend ahead of you? Then there’s a sale on Steam that will keep you busy even longer.

What’s on offer? On Steam, you can currently get the “Bioware Mega Collection” for 18.94 euros, which is a 90% discount (via Steam). You save over 160 euros compared to the regular price. The following games are included:

  • Dragon Age: Origins – Ultimate Edition
  • Dragon Age 2: Ultimate Edition
  • Dragon Age Inquisition
  • Mass Effect Legendary Edition
  • Mass Effect Andromeda

With Dragon Age and Mass Effect, the studio BioWare built a reputation for linking excellent stories with elaborate RPG mechanics. And even if a former writer says that this is no longer the case – the offer is fantastic.

What is Mass Effect? Mass Effect cleverly combines shooter gameplay with story elements and allows you to develop deep relationships with your companions.

On one hand, you learn more about the world and your role in it. On the other hand, you explore love and friendship with your companions together.

At times, the titles invite grinding, but if you want to experience a more or less cohesive story over 3 parts, you will get your money’s worth with the Legendary Edition.

Additionally, the latest installment of the series is also available: Mass Effect Andromeda. MyMMO demon Cortyn has extensively tested the title for us: Mass Effect Andromeda: Completed! How was it overall? – My conclusion.

For a glimpse of the world of Mass Effect, start the trailer:

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition – Trailer

What is Dragon Age? A fantastic RPG series with many original ideas that has built a large fanbase over the years. The setting contrasts with the sci-fi shooter Mass Effect – as it serves “high fantasy”.

Your choices influence the endings of the various stories, and much like in Mass Effect, there is a focus on your companions, whom you get to know better and build trust with, which in turn changes their actions towards you.

Many fans particularly appreciate the story of Dragon Age, as does colleague Benedict Grothaus, who recommends the matching series: If you have 3 hours to spare, you should definitely watch Dragon Age: Absolution on Netflix.

The US colleagues from PC Gamer have calculated that for just under 20 euros, you get over 500 hours of gameplay (via pcgamer.com).

If you already have games from the bundle or don’t want to buy the whole package, the games are also available individually at a lower price. However, Mass Effect Andromeda is not really worth it – it’s available individually for just under 15 euros.
