WoW: Paladins were unbeatable for 3 days – Now Blizzard nerfs them by up to 75%

The paladin in World of Warcraft is being nerfed into the ground. For three days, he was unbeatable in PvP – now Blizzard is pulling the emergency brake.

What happened to paladins? The Patch 10.0.7 brought a small rework of the retribution paladins. They received new abilities and talents and were supposed to feel more rounded overall, especially in PvE. A small “side effect” was that paladins were completely overpowered in PvP. Massive self-healing and much more damage ensured that retribution paladins could take out their enemies in arenas and battlegrounds within 3 seconds.

The outcry in the community was huge. Normally, Blizzard makes adjustments only by the next Wednesday – but in the case of the paladin, they are making an exception and have already rolled out the nerfs last night. This was a reaction to the “overwhelming feedback”.

What was changed about the paladin? The short version is probably “a whole lot.” The nerfs mainly affect abilities that directly impact the damage of the retribution paladin. However, a few healing effects were also weakened. The entire list of nerfs is:

  • Paladin (general)
    • The healing of Crusader’s Reckoning is reduced by 50% in PvP.
  • Protection
    • Judgment of Light heals 35% less in PvP battles.
  • Retribution
    • Judgment of Light heals 35% less in PvP battles.
    • Wrath of the Inquisitor is 40% weaker in PvP.
    • Fading Light is 75% weaker for retribution paladins in PvP.
    • Vengeance of the Justicar now deals 15% additional damage to stunned targets in PvP.
    • Vengeance of the Justicar heals 50% less in PvP.
    • Blessing of Twilight is 25% less effective in PvP.
    • Divine Judge deals 25% less direct damage in PvP.
    • Vanguard of Justice is 25% less effective in PvP.
    • Celestial Legacy increases the damage of Divine Storm by 15% in PvP (previously 25%).
    • Luminescence (PvP talent) now increases damage and healing by 2% (previously 4%).
    • Avenger (PvP talent) now deals 2% of total HP as damage (previously 4%).
    • A bug was fixed that caused the reduction of the effectiveness of Wrathful Retribution to 75% in PvP for retribution paladins not to count.

Community is excited about the quick reaction: Although many players are wondering how the paladin could be released into PvP so “broken,” the reaction to these nerfs has been overwhelmingly positive from everyone (except paladins). People praise that Blizzard acts very quickly and precisely in PvP balancing in Dragonflight and regularly adjusts particularly strong classes.

Did you enjoy the three days of terror reign of the paladins in PvP? Or did that pass you by?

Diablo 4: No sound in the open beta? Here’s what you can do

In the Open Beta of Diablo 4, many players have the problem that they have no sound or certain things cannot be heard – especially with voice outputs in German. MeinMMO shows you the solutions.

What is the problem? Since the launch of the Open Beta of Diablo 4 on March 24, there have been reports of missing sound. Those who play cannot hear their own character nor anyone else speaking, neither in-game nor in cutscenes.

The problem likely arises because the localization is not yet complete. Texts are translated, but voices are still missing in all languages except English.

How to get sound back: There are several proposed solutions, of which we can at least confirm one:

  • Change your sound to stereo if it is set to surround.
  • Play in full screen mode and do not alt-tab out of the game, that can lead to problems.
  • Change the voice output to English – that helped us.
    • If this option is not available, you will need to switch the entire game to English first (requires a restart).
    • In the Battle.net launcher, click the gear icon next to “Play” for Diablo IV, then on game settings. Under Diablo IV Beta, set “Text & Voice Output” to English.

It is also sufficient to have set the option to English once in the launcher or to download the language directly during installation. In the options within the game itself, you can at least set the text back to German as long as you are in the main menu. The voice output remains English, but at least characters will speak again.

Blizzard showcased the first German voices of Prava and Lilith just before the Open Beta, but they are apparently not yet in the game:

Errors and Issues in the Open Beta of Diablo 4

In addition to sound issues, some players are struggling with disconnects and connection problems. We have already gathered known error codes with solutions. Blizzard is also already working on resolving the biggest issues.

Already in the first beta, players reported that Diablo 4 supposedly destroys graphics cards. At least the problem with overloaded GPU memory still exists. In this case, you should set the graphic settings to “Medium” or lower.

Blizzard already warned before the beta launch that the influx of players on the servers would be enormous and there would be queues. At the moment, it seems that this has largely subsided, and work is also being done on further problems.

All weekend, we are reporting live on the Open Beta:

Thousands of players are disappointed with the Druid in Diablo 4: too fat and too weak

I also played the Druid and think similarly. A build will be found here soon on MeinMMO. We have captured our impression of the first beta in the video:

Start video
Diablo 4 Beta: Performance and fun are on point, but important questions remain unanswered – The conclusion of the MeinMMO editorial team

“I am disappointed with the appearance of the Druid”

On Reddit, the current most discussed topic, with over 1,200 comments, is the appearance of the Druids. They are portrayed in Diablo 4 as overweight in all body shapes. The criticism is: “Female Druids always look like they want to speak to the manager.”

Even players who are not slim themselves do not find this good. They say they do not need this representation, and it does not fit Diablo. A sturdy warrior who is not just made of muscles, yes. But these bodies are simply not aesthetic:

I do not want to offend anyone; I just find it not aesthetic because I do not like large or bear-like characters. That’s why I have never played a Barbarian because they looked weirdly huge and like a wardrobe in Diablo 3 and before. But the female Barbarian in Diablo 4 is more athletic and muscular than stocky, which is why this is the first time I will try the class.

I wish we had 2-3 options like in Star Wars: The Old Republic, where you could choose slim, medium, muscular/fat, and huge for both genders. That offers a range to play with.

At least a few players seem to be happy about the appearance of the Druid. One user says his character looks like Robert Baratheon from Game of Thrones, and he thinks that’s great.

One player is even moved to tears because her character looks exactly like her. She says she has never felt so seen.

Will Druids stay like this? At least regarding balance, Blizzard has already stated that the beta serves to some degree for the evaluation of classes. However, how much will change is still unclear.

Some players emphasize that classes like Druid and Barbarian become strong only later, especially since the Druid cannot utilize his unique mechanic in the beta. Other classes may be stronger at the beginning but will not explode as much in the end as, for example, the Druid.

Since the endgame cannot be tested at the moment, there is a lack of data to support this. That Blizzard will change something about the appearance is rather unlikely. The appearance seems precisely intentional.

If you want to test the Druid yourself, here are the best farm spots to equip yourself with Legendaries:

Diablo 4: The 3 best farm spots in the Open Beta – Here you can find the most loot now

In the Open Beta of Diablo 4, the Druid is playable for everyone for the first time. The class has not been seen in the series since Diablo 2, and many had hope for the nature warrior. However, in the first test, the shapeshifters do not convince.

Why is the topic so big? In the current Open Beta of Diablo 4, Druids are playable for everyone for the first time. The class was very popular in the past, but had not been represented in the Diablo series for a long time.

Last time, you could play them 23 years ago, excluding the remaster of Diablo 2. Neither Diablo 3 nor Diablo Immortal had the Druid as a class, even though it used to be one of the most popular and strongest.

Druids are the only shapeshifters in Diablo; they can take on a bear and wolf form and cast nature magic. As an archetype, they are unique in the series.

Here you can find out everything about the 5 classes from Diablo 4

This is the problem with the Druids: Now, after the first tests, many players are expressing disappointment. Above all, the performance of the Druid is criticized. It is said that no build is really strong. No matter how you play Druids, they lag behind all other classes.

Already, Barbarians were significantly weaker in the first test compared to Sorcerers and Hunters but received a buff. Druids are even weaker, especially having problems against bosses and taking too much from enemies. However, the gameplay is not the only issue.

One player is even moved to tears because her character looks exactly like her. She says she has never felt so seen.

In WoW you can learn a new language for the first time – and no one understands you

The language of the Furbolgs is quite complex – but you can learn it in World of Warcraft in a very short time and then use your character to speak it.

The latest patch of World of Warcraft has brought numerous small innovations that may go unnoticed by many players at first glance. One detail is the possibility of learning a completely new language, namely that of the Furbolgs.

The cool thing about it: You can not only understand the language, but also speak it yourself. It can only be understood by other characters who are also proficient in Furbolg language.

Learning Furbolg – How to become revered with the Winterpelt

How do you unlock the language? If you also want to speak Furbolg, you need to complete a new questline for that.

The quest begins with a letter from Sonova Snowden, which you can collect from your mailbox.

Important: Sonova will only send you the letter if you have completed the two questlines “Rustpine Burrow” and “Winterpelt Cave.” These two questlines were already in the game at the launch of Dragonflight. You can check in the achievement “Visitor of the Azure Mountains” if you have completed them.

Once that is done, you will receive the letter in the mail shortly after, sending you back to Sonova Snowden. Complete three small introductory quests, and afterward you can repeatedly hand in artifacts to Sonova to increase your language knowledge.

Sonova Snowden needs your help. You can find him at coordinates 67 / 13 in the Azure Mountains.

How do you improve language knowledge? To increase your language knowledge from level 1 to 100, you now need to farm reclaimed Furbolg artifacts. You can turn in 5 of them for one knowledge point with Sonova Snowden. To go from skill level 0 to 100, you need to collect a total of 500 reclaimed Furbolg artifacts.

But don’t worry: If you’re thinking about the reputation grind of the Furbolgs in the Woodchipper Fortress during Vanilla, you’re far from reality. To become revered with the Winterpelts or to fully master the language, you only need to plan about 60 to 90 minutes. If you already have a well-equipped character, it might go even faster.

How do you best farm? To collect “Reclaimed Furbolg Artifacts” the fastest, travel to the Azure Mountains at coordinates 78 / 40. Here you will find numerous elite enemies. Ignore the large fire elementals and giants; instead, focus on the smaller Tarasek. They have just under 500,000 health but drop 2-8 artifacts each time and have a chance to leave behind an “Intact Scribe Staff.”

WoW Winterpelt Farming Spot
Here is the perfect farming spot.

The Scribe Staff can also be turned in for learning the language and grants one point in language skill. One Scribe Staff is worth the same as 5 artifacts.

How do you speak Furbolg? If you want to speak the new language, you need to select it in the chat window. To do this, click the small speech bubble, choose “Language” with the cursor further down, and select Furbolg.

Note that you can only use the language in /say and /yell. While you are in a group, the language will automatically switch so that all group members can understand each other.

Are there any further rewards? Yes, there are. To receive them, you need to complete the additional quests you get from Sonova Snowden and the Furbolgs. You unlock them every 25 language skills – that is, at 25, 50, 75, and 100. The rewards include toys, such as a transformation into a Furbolg, a large snow globe under which you can hide, and glasses that make the entire game look blurred.

The quests are all quite short and usually consist of only two or three tasks. By completing the missions, you will also become revered with the Winterpelts and can shop at their reputation vendor.

Have you learned Furbolg yet? Will you ever use the language?

Pokémon GO: New Shiny Crypto-Pokémon from Sierra, Cliff, Arlo and Giovanni are here

At the start of the Rocket Takeover in Pokémon GO, the Cryptos among the Rocket members are changing. Sierra, Cliff, and Arlo now reward you with different Pokémon. We show you which Pokémon you can get from whom.

What changes are happening? With the start of the Rocket Takeover this Saturday, the attackers that Team GO Rocket members use to battle against you are changing. The event is active until March 29 and brings additional bonuses for you.

Which Pokémon are new this time, we show you here in the overview. This way, you can easily decide which of the bosses you want to challenge to secure a Crypto for yourself.

Rocket Changes from March 25, 2023

These are the new teams:

1. Pokémon2. Pokémon3. Pokémon
SierraKramurx*Stahlos, Sumpex oder StaraptorGlurak, Dragoran oder Hundemon
ArloTeddiursa*Hypno, Lohgock oder GolgantesScherox, Banette oder Luxtra
CliffLarvitar*Panzaeron, Seedraking oder GewaldroGarados, Despotar oder Sumpex
GiovanniSnobilikatNidoking, Kingler oder SeedrakingRegice

Keep in mind that you can catch their first Pokémon (Crypto-Kramurx, Crypto-Teddiursa, and Crypto-Larvitar) after a successful battle with Arlo, Cliff, and Sierra. All of them have a chance to appear as Shiny.

With Giovanni, you can catch his third Pokémon after a successful battle. His Pokémon switched from Registeel to Regice.

These Shinies are new: Shiny Crypto-Larvitar and Shiny Crypto-Kramurx are now new in the game and can be caught starting from the event’s start.

This is important: If you meet Giovanni, Sierra, Arlo, or Cliff at a PokéStop on March 25, they will still fight with their old team (!). Only leaders that you meet through Rocket Balloons will have the new team by Saturday. Starting on Sunday, March 26, Team GO Rocket will also use the new team at PokéStops.

This is because the attacker team of the Rocket leaders at PokéStops is already determined at midnight. Since the event starts on March 25 at 10:00 AM, the changes cannot take effect until midnight (via Leekduck on Twitter).

The new Shiny Cryptos are getting a lot of positive feedback from the community. Trainers are excited that there are now new figures to collect. For many, Cliff is now the new highlight in the rotation. Because Despotar itself is already a strong Pokémon and becomes even stronger as a Crypto. Plus, there’s now the collection factor with the shiny variant.

Remember not to redeem your strong Crypto Pokémon.

Diablo 4 Beta: Wolf Bundle not received at level 20 – How do you get the reward?

The beta of Diablo 4 allows an extensive look at the new action RPG and also provides a few rewards that you can take with you into the final version. But how does it work with the Wolf Bundle and the two titles? Here are the answers.

How do I get the beta rewards? For now, not at all, the three rewards can only be obtained with the release of Diablo 4 on June 6. So don’t be surprised if the desired gifts are not available at level 20.

Developer Blizzard has confirmed this on Twitter:

How long do I have for the rewards? Until the end of the second beta phase, on March 27, until 9 PM. Here are the dates of the beta:

With the start of the open beta on March 24, two more classes will be available for testing: Druid and Necromancer.

Twitch: Former CS:GO pro plays the new Counter-Strike 2 and shows that he still has it

The access to the beta of Counter-Strike 2 is currently highly sought after. Twitch streamer Tarik Celik (27) is among the lucky ones who are already able to play. And the former CS pro immediately demonstrated that he still has it.

What kind of streamer is he? Tarik was previously a professional CS:GO player and then switched, like some of his colleagues, to Valorant. After the end of his professional career, he really took off on Twitch and became one of the most watched streamers worldwide within 2 years.

So it’s not surprising that Tarik is among the chosen streamers who received a coveted beta access for the CS:GO successor Counter-Strike 2. In his stream on March 22, he also got right to it.

Counter-Strike 2 will likely be an upgrade of the existing Counter-Strike, similar to Overwatch 2. You can see what will change in our video:

Tarik gets the first Ace

What did Tarik achieve? After the streamer tweaked some of his settings and played a few deathmatches, Tarik dove into his first real match of Counter-Strike 2, still unranked.

Also in the game were CS:GO pro Jordan “n0thing” Gilbert and the “human aimbot” Michael “shroud” Grzesiek. However, the first map didn’t get too heated, as the high-profile team was first trying to get a feel for the new engine.

Tarik seemed to adapt the quickest, as he got going on the second map: With two crisp headshots, the 27-year-old took out the first CT players before hunting down the remaining opponents.

How did the streamer react? Very cool. After 3 more headshots, Tarik casually stated: “I just achieved the first ‘C-S 2’ Ace.” His Twitch colleague, CS:GO pro Erik “fl0m” Flom, quickly reminded him: It’s not about who gets the first Ace, but who can post an Ace online first.

We’ve embedded a recording of the stream here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_BGQ4NzCTg&feature=youtu.be

Indeed, many other content creators, including English pro Owen “smooyacs” Butterfield, have posted their respective Aces. However, this didn’t stop Tarik’s fans from celebrating him and filling the chat with exclamations like “EZ ace”, “Sheeeesh” and the popular “PogU” emote.

While Tarik, shroud, and others are already busy shooting, the German streamer Maximilian “Trymacs” Stemmler is still trying to snag a beta access on Twitter. However, his methods are not going down well, as the 28-year-old was practically begging for a key:

FIFA 23 adds 12 new teams, but the models look terrifying – “Will scare my children”

In FIFA 2016, women’s national teams were added for the first time. In the current FIFA 23, after a long wait, all 12 teams of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) and the UEFA Women’s Champions League (UWCL) are now available. However, many players are dissatisfied with their virtual counterparts.

What’s new in FIFA 23? With the update on March 23, the teams of the NWSL and UWCL were added to FIFA 23. Producer Munraj writes in a post that this represents the diverse world of soccer (via EA).

Players can experience the UWCL in kick-off modes, tournament mode, 1v1 seasons, and co-op seasons. The 12 teams of the NWSL are available in the kick-off modes, tournament mode, 1v1 seasons, co-op seasons, and online friendly matches.

Women soccer players feel unrepresented

What’s the problem? On Twitter, some professional female players share screenshots of their virtual counterparts and complain about the lack of resemblance. Not only do some characters not look like the originals, but in some cases, they have also been lightened.

The Hawaiian player Caprice Dydasco posted a direct comparison of herself and her model. The skin and hair color of the model are noticeably lighter than those of the real player. She wrote that while she is grateful for the inclusion of the NWSL, it does not represent her:

Striker Sydney Leroux has been in FIFA since FIFA 16, when she was added with the American women’s national team. She apparently feels her old model is much more realistic, as it has her trademarks: a purple headband, a braid, and her neck tattoo – only a little air needs to be let out from the chest.

Leroux initially shared a clip showing her new model and wrote, “Please don’t tell me I did a full-body scan for this.” (via Twitter) She then posted a screenshot of her counterpart: That will scare her children.

Other players are also dissatisfied with their representations in the game. Canadian national player Janine Beckie writes that she has found her long-lost twin sister – obviously fraternal (via Twitter).

Leroux’s Angel City teammate, Madison Hammond, is still not sure whether she even made it into the game: Please let her know if you find her, because that definitely isn’t her (via Twitter).

The sudden hair loss of goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan seems to be just a glitch, but Leroux summarizes the frustrations of the female soccer players in a tweet with the bald model:

I know you expect women to just be grateful that you give us a tiny bit of attention, but please stop wasting our time.

via Twitter

Some fans explain that this is the normal procedure for FIFA: The correct faces will be added gradually. So it remains to be seen whether players will be more satisfied with their final models, or whether EA will make further improvements.

Since real-life players and players are represented in the FIFA franchise, there are ongoing discussions about how well the originals are represented. It’s not just about appearance: If players are stronger or weaker than fans estimate in real life, it also causes dissatisfaction:

A German World Cup legend is simply way too weak in FIFA 23

Diablo 4: Lightning Build for Sorcerer is Perfect for Leveling and for Bosses

The Sorceress is a class with huge damage potential in Diablo 4. MyMMO editor Benedict Grothaus tested a shocking lightning build in the beta, making even bosses feel effortless.

The beta of Diablo 4 is still running, where I’m getting my first overview of the various classes in the game. After my rogue build for the huntress was really fun, I have now tried the Sorceress. You can find all our builds here:

After I actually wanted to try a fire build that didn’t really work, colleague Maik Schneider pointed out the lightning skills to me.

And oh boy! The build hits hard. I effortlessly blast through enemies and even melt bosses in no time – and I’m still missing the best legendaries. The build even works excellently for leveling.

You can find information on all 5 classes from Diablo 4 here . In this video, colleague Anna Alberg takes a fortress, showing how the build looks in action:

Start video
Diablo 4: Sorceress with Shock Build against Malnok’s Staging Point

Sorcerer Build for Diablo 4 – Skill Tree and Legendaries

Pro
  • Huge damage output against single targets
  • No problems with smaller groups
  • “Cookie Cutter” build for leveling, solo and group play
  • Easy to master
  • Works even without legendaries
Contra
  • Weak against large hordes of enemies
  • No defense
  • Requires a lot of movement

The most important skills (at level 25):

  • Spark: 5/5
    • Improved Spark
    • Flickering Spark
  • Chain Lightning 5/5
    • Improved Chain Lightning
    • Destructive Chain Lightning
    • instead: Greater Chain Lightning (in boss fights)
  • Teleportation 1/5
  • Lightning Spear 5/5
    • Improved Lightning Spear
    • Summoned Lightning Spear
  • Static Discharge 1/3
  • Unstable Flow 1/1

If you gain additional skill points or find skills on items, you should try to maximize Static Discharge and Rejuvenating Connection, or improve your Unstable Flow.

The special class mechanic of the Sorceress allows her to choose enchantments that enhance her abilities. Use the passive effect of Chain Lightning as an enchantment here.

These legendary aspects you need:

  • Unbroken Chains: Chain Lightning jumps more often
  • Aspect of the Expectant: When you attack enemies with basic skills, the damage of your next basic skill increases by 5% (up to a maximum of 50%)
  • Shattering Energy: Lightning Spear has a chance to summon another Lightning Spear
  • Swift Aspect (optional): Basic skills gain higher attack speed
  • Aspect of Efficiency (optional): Basic skills reduce the mana cost of the next basic skill
  • Inner Calm (only in groups): You deal more damage when you remain stationary
  • Charging Aspect (against bosses): Chain Lightning grants mana when it bounces off you

Most aspects are not guaranteed to be obtained in the beta, as they drop in dungeons in Scosglen. However, you can find the corresponding items with some luck while farming. A good source is the world boss Ashava.

Gameplay and Playstyle

This is how you play the build: You deal the most damage with Chain Lightning and Lightning Spear, where you increase the strength with other effects. It works as follows:

  • Use Unstable Flow on cooldown or against particularly tough enemies
  • Attack single enemies up to 10 times with Spark to create Crackling Sparks and enhance Chain Lightning
  • Use Chain Lightning to create more Crackling Sparks
  • Collect Crackling Sparks that appear on the ground – continue to attack while running
  • Use Lightning Spear on cooldown, preferably with 5 stacks of Summoned Lightning Spear

The core mechanic of the build is the passive Crackling Sparks. By collecting these, you further enhance some of your abilities and the sparks discharge to deal damage to nearby enemies. This makes you a deadly threat yourself.

With Teleportation, you can quickly reposition yourself if things get tight or collect Crackling Sparks. When fighting bosses or single enemies, do not stand too far away so that Chain Lightning can jump between you and the enemy.

Diablo 4: Error 34203

This is a network error, the servers are either unavailable or overloaded. The error is particularly annoying because it usually occurs after going through the queue.

The solution to the problem is usually not in your hands. However, you can check how busy it is currently and estimate whether there are many server issues and whether it is worth waiting in a queue:

If you really want to get into the game, keep trying. Further down in the article, you will find tips from the developer for server issues.

Diablo 4: Error 316719

According to reports, this error also involves problems with the server. There is not much you can do other than wait or try to improve your connection to the server.

You can do the following:

Sometimes it helps if you restart the game. With this error, you will probably have to go through the queue again.

Diablo 4: Error 30008

This error can reportedly be clearly assigned. It is said to be a conflict with your DNS server, so something related to your internet connection.

The recommendation for error 30008: Execute the command “flushdns”. Here, developer Blizzard explains how it works on PC and Mac as well as on different operating systems:

Diablo 4: Error “Out of Memory” or “Memory Leak”

There are reports of a memory leak error. The load on your RAM increases continuously until Diablo 4 crashes.

The error apparently only affects PC players who have downloaded the high-res texture pack. It is recommended to set the “texture quality” in the graphics settings to “medium” to avoid the error.

Other known errors

Developer Blizzard has already published a list of known errors in the beta (via Blizzard Forum):

  • Display problems during the Lorath introduction sequence when it is bright in the game
  • Voice chat may not work correctly for all players
  • Work is being done on performance issues – especially for older systems
  • The “Play” option in the character selection menu is still a placeholder
  • Queues may indicate inaccurate times – stay in the queue, a restart will always put you at the end of the queue
  • In the beta, localization is still limited, more options will be available for language settings at release

Tips from the developer for server issues

Developer Blizzard, however, offers a few tips for connection issues. In certain cases, the connection can be affected if certain settings/programs have an impact:

  • Close all other applications on your PC
  • Restart your router
  • Switch to LAN instead of W-LAN
  • Temporarily disable your antivirus programs
  • Renew your IP / Clear DNS cache
  • Disable proxy servers
  • Download the latest drivers for your devices

In addition, you should regularly visit the customer support Twitter account for updates on problems: via twitter.com.

If you have problems with certain error codes, write it in the comments. If you would like specific guides, you can let us know as well.

Fans of Diablo 4 are annoyed by people who just complain: “Then just play Diablo 2”

Diablo 4 aims to “return to its roots” and is oriented in many ways towards the older parts of the series. However, certain fans feel that this is not enough. They are essentially wishing for a new Diablo 2 and are attracting criticism for it. The entire discussion leads to even more eye-rolls.

What does Diablo 4 do differently? Unlike most previous installments, Diablo 4 incorporates MMO elements. You spend most of your time playing together with other people, fighting world bosses always with strangers, and seeing other players in the cities.

The most controversial feature is the Shared World. Especially fans of the series view it critically to have to share “their” world with others. Others, including myself, say: the Shared World is the future for Diablo 4.

Nevertheless, Diablo 4 wants to become darker again and orient itself towards the older parts. For instance, the Druid is finally returning, who was playable last in Diablo 2. Runes should also make a comeback, but are not present in the game at release.

This is the dispute: Since the first Beta of Diablo 4, numerous posts from users appear on Reddit, who either complain fiercely about Diablo or praise it to the skies:

  • some see a blessing in the new systems of Diablo 4
  • others curse Blizzard for burying old systems and trying out new things

In a particularly large thread on Reddit, hundreds of users participate. It roughly states: If you want Diablo 2, then play Resurrected, but leave our Diablo 4 alone.

Over 800 comments have already accumulated there. Some agree that Diablo 4 does not want to be or should not be Diablo 2. Those who want to play the old game should do so. Both the original and the remaster are still running. However, the discussion continues.

Diablo 4 utilizes the best features of its predecessors. In the overview, we summarize the game for you:

<strong>Diablo 4 takes the best features from the predecessors – Here is what it looks like so far</strong>

“People complain about people who complain”

The real problem for what seems to be the majority of the community is not the gameplay, but the players themselves. The entire discussion is simply tiresome for many fans.

The debate about whether certain details in Diablo 4 are the best or the worst sometimes takes up the most space on Reddit. However, discussions rarely differentiate; instead, a strong opinion is often expressed without tolerating counter-opinions.

Accordingly, many comments on the post are cynical. It is said, for example: “Thank you for this incredible and strong argument.” Others complain that the majority of the community consists of people who complain about how others complain.

While there is some agreement, many comments lead to the conclusion that everyone should simply be allowed their opinion. A part of the community even tears itself apart further in the comments, defending the creator or attacking him.

A few users try to mediate or point out that the constant arguing only ruins the joy of gaming for everyone. The toxic behavior among gamers seems to be the worst thing currently in gaming. Even tired experts have come to this conclusion:

Expert on Diablo Immortal warns: “You are ruining Diablo 4 for yourself even before the release”

Pokémon GO: This is why you should not purify your Crypto-Pokémon

In Pokémon GO you can encounter plenty of Crypto Pokémon again with the Rocket takeover. However, you better not purify them. Why this makes sense and what you can do with the monsters instead, we have summarized here for you on MeinMMO.

Which Pokémon is it about? In Pokémon GO, the Rocket takeover event is currently taking place, which offers you plenty of encounters with the members of Team GO Rocket. Once you have defeated them, a Crypto Pokémon from their team awaits you after the battle, which you can catch.

So Giovanni is once again using one of the strongest Crypto Pokémon that you definitely should not miss.

Even though it may seem obvious to purify these Crypto Pokémon after catching them, you should better refrain from doing so. We explain why.

That’s why you shouldn’t purify your Crypto Pokémon

How to recognize Crypto Pokémon? Crypto Pokémon are visually distinct by their red eyes and purple smoke compared to their counterparts. With a bit of luck, you can also catch individual specimens in their respective Shiny form.

Here you can see which new Shiny Cryptos you can find with Arlo, Sierra, and Cliff.

Pokémon GO Shiny Crypto Flunkifer
Shiny Crypto Flunkifer – Source: FTL_9 on reddit

Why are Crypto Pokémon worthwhile? Anyone who has a strong Crypto Pokémon should definitely not purify it. This type of monster is actually a bit stronger compared to all other Pokémon. They benefit from a 20% higher attack bonus and are thus a perfect choice in battle.

In contrast, however, they do not hold out as long in battle because their defense is correspondingly lower. However, this plays a rather subordinate role, especially for the use in raids, which is why Crypto Pokémon are particularly popular there and belong to the best attackers in the game.

How to find the bosses of Team GO Rocket and secure a legendary Crypto for yourself, you’ll find out in the following video:

Start video
Pokémon GO: Finding Rocket Bosses – How to Collect the Rocket Radar and Track Them Down

What is the problem with Crypto Pokémon? Besides the slightly lower defense value, the bigger disadvantage is that Crypto Pokémon rely on the charged attack Frustration. This is a Normal-type attack that is relatively weak. However, it usually cannot be changed.

That’s why many players simply purify these monsters and then give them a better attack. But there is another way to make these Pokémon useful for you without having to purify them.

What alternative is there to purifying Crypto Pokémon?

Unlearning Frustration: In order not to have to purify your Crypto Pokémon, you have several opportunities throughout the year for a few days to unlearn the charged attack Frustration. One of these opportunities occurs during the Rocket takeover event, which runs until November 17, 2022, at 8:00 PM local time.

During this time, you can use charged TMs to make your Crypto Pokémon forget their previous Frustration attack. This way, they become especially useful in battle for you, and you can benefit from their increased attack.

How does it work? First, you need to select your desired monster. Then you can choose a charged TM from the items, which will change the attack of the Crypto Pokémon. Like all other monsters, the choice of attacks is random.

So you should have enough charged TMs ready when you are looking for a specific attack. Alternatively, you can also use a Premium Charged TM, where you can choose the attack specifically.

Unlearning Frustration with a Premium Charged TM

Which monsters are particularly worthwhile for unlearning Frustration, we have summarized for you in the following article.

More on the topic
Pokémon GO: Forgetting Frustration – 18 Monsters Worth It
von Franzi Korittke

What do you need to consider? Once you have changed the attack of the Pokémon, you should ideally not purify this monster in the future. Otherwise, it will unlearn this attack again and get the Normal-type move “Return”. This is essentially the counterpart to Frustration.

Now you can change the attacks at any time without problems, but that will cost you a lot of charged TMs. For this reason, you should think carefully in advance whether you really want to purify the Crypto.

Which Crypto Pokémon will you unlearn the charged attack Frustration in the coming days? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers about it.

The Rocket takeover also holds a new research for you. We show you all the contents of the special research “Field Notes”.

Diablo 4: Perfect Hunter Build plays like a nimble Rogue

The Hunter is already a popular class in the beta of Diablo 4. MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus has been playing it since release and shares his best build with which he is currently slashing through the hordes of hell.

In the currently running Beta of Diablo 4, I chose the Hunter as my first character. Even in Diablo 3, I played dozens of demon hunters and quick classes suit me well in action RPGs.

Exactly the style is matched by the Hunter in Diablo 4. She attacks quickly, alternates between close and ranged combat, and evades enemies with her agile movements. Exactly what I hoped for from the class. You can find all our builds here:

In the meantime, I have almost finished the beta and am very satisfied with my build for the Hunter. I usually kill large hordes of enemies with a single blow and take little damage myself. The focus is on melee combat, something that was lacking with the demon hunter in Diablo 3.

You can find information about all 5 classes from Diablo 4 here. This is what the build looks like in action:

Start video
Diablo 4 features huge bosses like an MMO – And they drop really good loot

Hunter Build for Diablo 4 – Skills and Legendaries

Pro
  • Strong against large groups of enemies
  • High damage output
  • Extremely agile, evades many attacks
  • Plays like a classic rogue archetype
  • Perfect for solo play
  • Easily reaches distant enemies
Contra
  • Problems against single foes and bosses
  • Very “energy-hungry”
  • Takes some time to learn the rotation

The most important skills (at level 25):

  • Glide Blade: 5/5
    • Enhanced Glide Blade
    • Fundamental Glide Blade
  • Screw Blades: 5/5
    • Enhanced Screw Blades
    • Advanced Screw Blades
  • Shadow Step: 1/5
  • Dashing: 5/5
  • Shadow Infusion: 2/5
    • Enhanced Shadow Infusion
    • Alternative: Poison Infusion, for boss fights
  • Shadow Clone: 1/5

If you gain additional skill points or find skills on items, you should aim to skill up to “Superior Shadow Clone”. Otherwise, it’s best to allocate the points into Shadow Infusion or Shadow Clone.

The unique class mechanic of the Hunter allows her to choose one of three specializations. For this build, you will play with combo points.

You will need these legendary aspects:

  • Dancing Blade Aspect: Screw Blades circle around you when they return and add a portion of the damage they dealt on the way back
  • Aspect of the Expectant: When you attack enemies with basic skills, the damage of the next base skill increases by 5% (up to a maximum of 50%)
  • Shadow Cutter Aspect: When you cast Dashing, a Shadow Clone appears, which also casts Dashing with reduced damage
  • Blade Master Aspect (optional): Increases damage depending on the amount of primary resource
  • Energy Expending Aspect (optional): If you deal damage to elite enemies, you gain energy

Most of the aspects are not guaranteed to drop in the beta, as they drop in dungeons in Scosglen. However, you may find corresponding items with luck while farming. Some are also obtained through playing the campaign.

Gameplay and Playstyle

Here’s how to play the build: Your damage comes mostly from the screw blades that you thrust into enemies and then bring as many foes as possible between you and the target. For maximum damage, use this rotation whenever possible:

  1. Attack the enemy 3 to 10 times with Glide Blades
  2. Activate Shadow Clone (at higher levels, optional otherwise)
  3. Activate Shadow Infusion
  4. Use screw blades on any target
  5. Use “Dashing” and move through as many enemies as possible

You should end up standing as far away from the enemy as possible and have as many enemies in a straight line between you and the target of your screw blades. The enemies will be afflicted by Shadow Infusion and explode, which wipes out entire hordes easily.

If you don’t have a charge of Dashing available or the enemies are too far away, you can use Shadow Step. Then repeat attacks with Glide Blades and expend built-up stacks of your buffs with screw blades.

In boss fights, use Dashing and Shadow Step as additional evasion maneuvers to avoid enemy attacks. Since you only have one target here, the fights can become rather sluggish. The build is aimed at fighting many enemies.

FIFA 23: FUT Birthday is now live – Team 1 brings amazing cards for Müller and Silva

In FIFA 23 Ultimate Team, the next event is the FUT Birthday. We will tell you which content the birthday promo brings and show all new special cards.

What is FUT Birthday? The FUT Birthday is a traditional FUT event that has been taking place annually since FIFA 14. It celebrates the birthday of Ultimate Team and brings tons of new special cards, SBCs (Squad Building Challenges), and tasks to the game.

When does the event start? This year’s FUT Birthday event replaces the current FUT Ballers event and starts today at 7:00 PM. This is revealed by a loading screen when starting Ultimate Team.

What can the new cards do? As in the last two years, there will again be improved special cards with upgrades for weak foot and skill moves. However, the biggest novelty will likely be the new FUT Birthday Icon cards.

These will complement the normal FUT Birthday cards. Which legends are included, we will reveal in this article.

FUT Birthday – Here are all cards from Team 1 as well as the new Icons

These are the new FUT Birthday cards: In Team 1 of FUT Birthday, there are a lot of strong cards. Especially Bernardo Silva (93), who receives a weak foot upgrade, is expected to be very powerful and especially expensive. Additionally, Thomas Müller receives an exciting card with 5 stars for skill moves.

You can see all players from Team 1 here:

You can check out the new birthday icons here:

Here you can see the original article with the previous leaks about the event.

FUT Birthday Leaks – Which new cards are included?

The known FUT leaker FUT Sheriff has shared some leaks on Twitter again that are likely to be very exciting if they come true. According to FUT Sheriff, there will be new Icon cards for the following players at FUT Birthday:

  • Jairzinho
  • Cantona
  • Koeman
  • Rush
  • Best
  • Puskas
  • Rui Costa
  • Rivaldo

According to FUT Sheriff, there should be normal FUT Birthday cards for these players:

  • Sow (Eintracht Frankfurt)
  • Emerson (Tottenham)
  • Lafont: (Nantes)
  • Zincheko (Arsenal)
  • Koke (Atletico Madrid)
  • Thomas Müller (Bayern München)
  • Bernardo Silva (Manchester City)
  • Joao Felix (Chelsea)
  • Nunez (Liverpool)

Furthermore, the leaker mentions a FUT Birthday card for Pedri from FC Barcelona. This card is supposed to come as an SBC and therefore will not be in packs.

As soon as there are more leaks and info, this article will be updated.

You should consider the following with leaks: Which new special cards will actually end up in FUT cannot be said at this time. The previous names are merely leaks and not official information from EA. We will likely only have certainty about the new cards and whether Birthday Icons will really come at the start of the event.

Lastly, some players were pleasantly surprised by a sudden new addition to their teams: FIFA 23 accidentally distributed a strong striker to some players.

What happened this week in Destiny 2? It was a sad week in Destiny 2, when a surprising and doubly shocking moment was revealed. Before that, Guardians had to process the loss of the original voice of Commander Zavala.

The resonance and condolences of the Guardians were overwhelming, and their ideas for honoring the silenced voice are dignified.

Some other players were interested in a special shader that was supposed to end the Black Crisis in Destiny 2. But there was this little orange catch to it. You need to be careful not to have too many emotes and shaders in your collection. They could become a problem, as they might disappear.

At least we were able to confirm that an ultra-rare event actually exists – even if only a few Guardians have been able to experience and play it so far.

Furthermore, there was a leak about the power level system in Destiny 2 that could turn everything upside down:

Xur’s position: Although Xur now only actively uses a few location positions on the destinations, no Guardian knows where he will land before 6:00 PM.

Awesome top loot in Iron Banner

This weekend, there are no Trials taking place as the Iron Banner event is active. Since Tuesday at 6 PM, the exalted Iron Lord Saladin has been present in the Tower.

All Iron Banner weapons have an origin perk: “Creeping Wolf” grants improved radar at low health and kills achieved with this weapon against Guardians remove you from the enemy radar.

When does the Iron Banner officially end? Lord Saladin’s PvP activities end with the Weekly Reset on March 28 at 7:00 PM. That’s also when Xur departs.

For those who want to look into the future, we have an interesting revelation:

A gaming mouse for shooters offers me features in 2023 that I somewhat miss from Logitech and Razer

With the Nyf 22, there is a lightweight gaming mouse for fans of shooters and fast games. MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann was able to test the mouse for you.

Gaming mice for shooters and fast games rely on a low weight and few buttons. With the Nyf 22, the German company Nyfter offers a lightweight gaming mouse for shooter fans.

In terms of weight and size, they are oriented towards well-known representatives. I was able to try out the mouse. In the test, I will explain whether the mouse is worth it for you.

Who tested it?

By now, I own over 20 gaming mice and have tested over 15 keyboards. Personally, I also own over 10 sets of in-ear headphones. At MeinMMO, I have been testing hardware for our readers since 2019. Besides the PC and the PS5, I am also currently using the Steam Deck.

The manufacturer provided me with the Nyf 22 for testing.

Contents, design, and construction

What does the packaging look like? In addition to the gaming mouse, there is also an additional mouse cover (without holes), more mouse feet, and replacement switches for the mouse buttons included in the package. Additional covers for the mouse in other colors can be purchased for the mouse.

Nyfter Nyf 22 packaging

How is the mouse constructed? You can buy the mouse in various colors; I use the white model in the test.

  • On the top of the mouse are the main buttons and between them is the two-way scroll wheel. A small switch lies on the top before the scroll wheel, which allows you to switch the DPI.
  • On the underside is the power switch, and you can also reduce the lighting for better battery life.
  • Inside the mouse, you can store the USB adapter for the wireless connection.

What is special? You can disassemble the entire mouse into its components. You can remove the mouse cover and the button covers, and then you can take out the switches of the mouse buttons. You can then reassemble the mouse according to your preferences, such as with different switches or a different cover.

Workmanship

The casing of the mouse feels high-quality. The individual parts, like the additional cover, are made of sturdy plastic; the PTFE mouse feet are thick enough so that the mouse glides quickly over the desk. During the push and shake test, nothing rattles.

The plastic hooks with which the cover is attached to the mouse feel fragile, but they hold up well under swapping. However, I don’t want to change the mouse cover or the button switches every day.

A big plus point is the hot-swap switches in the mouse. Should the infamous double-click problem occur, the switches can be easily replaced. Neither Logitech, Razer, nor Roccat offer such a function; here, I get annoyed by defective switches.

Another manufacturer that offers such hot-swap switches in mice is still Asus with its ROG Chakram Core. You can also read my test on the “mouse with thumbstick” on MeinMMO:

Software

For the Nyf 22, the software suite from Nyfter is used, which does not carry a specific name. The software is not necessarily beautiful but serves its purpose. All functions are readily available and can be further displayed and edited via the menu in the top right. Also positive: The software is completely in German.

Not necessarily pretty, but works flawlessly.

Annoyingly, the battery life of the mouse is not indicated in percentage, but only through a colorful battery icon, which empties. However, the colorful symbol helps me little in everyday life, as I can only partially estimate when the battery is empty and I have to connect the mouse to the cable again. Also annoying: The size of the window cannot be adjusted under Windows. In everyday life, I always have a huge software window.

Pokémon GO: Trainers speculate about the GO Fest featuring powerful Pokémon that were shown 2 years ago

In Pokémon GO the GO Fest is celebrated annually, bringing exciting highlight Pokémon. What could we expect this year? Trainers already have ideas.

The GO Fest is probably the biggest event of the year in Pokémon GO. Originally, it took place as a local event in various cities, but now there are also global versions of the event.

Traditionally, the GO Fest always brings a few highlights. For example, in 2020 the release of Crypto-Mewtwo at the GO Fest, in 2021 it brought all the legendary Pokémon available at that time into the raids along with Meloetta, and in 2022 the GO Fest revolved around the Ultra Beasts.

Accordingly, trainers are already looking forward to summer 2023. Even though nothing has been officially announced yet, players already have ideas about which monsters could possibly be the highlight.

Where is Mega-Mewtwo in Pokémon GO?

What ideas do trainers have? In the Pokémon GO subreddit, a user named “Pigroee3DS” unearthed an old graphic of Pokémon GO. It was released for the 5th anniversary of the game and showed various monsters like the Gen 7 starters and other Pokémon that are already in the game, along with Mega-Mewtwo X.

Not only that: a year prior, a graphic was released for the 4th anniversary, hiding Mega-Mewtwo Y among other Pokémon. Here, too, many monsters are visible that are currently in the game – except for Mega-Mewtwo Y and, right next to it, Mega-Lucario. At that time, Mega Evolutions did not even exist in the game.

In the comments, trainers discuss how strange it is that these monsters have been hinted at for so long but have not appeared to this day.

A trainer speculates that it might finally happen this summer. After all, very strong monsters like the Proto-Monsters Groudon and Kyogre have been released this year.

This could also pave the way for powerful monsters like Mega-Mewtwo: “After we received the Protos for the Hoenn tour, I wouldn’t be surprised if one or both Mega-Mewtwos appeared at the GO Fest this year,” says the user (via reddit): But that’s purely speculation on my part.

Other trainers are also engaging in speculation. One points out that Mega-Lucario should not be forgotten, as it has not been introduced yet. Additionally, some trainers mention that at least regular Lucario is visible in the current loading screen of the Rising Heroes season in Pokémon GO. Another jokes that he would expect Mega-Mewtwo, if at all, as a boss in the elite raids (via reddit). Another says: “I suspect that Mewtwo X and Y will be the last Mega Evolutions they release” (via reddit).

At the same time, trainers emphasize that one should not rely too heavily on these graphics – after all, some Pokémon from the birthday graphics have simply not played a role so far (via reddit).

Another option is being brought up by trainers with another Mega Evolution – namely Mega-Rayquaza (via reddit). This would also be an option and first hints about Rayquaza have already emerged in recent months.

From a story perspective, it would also fit: Given that the Hoenn tour revolved largely around Rayquaza’s rivals Proto-Groudon and Proto-Kyogre, completing the trio would be suitable for the GO Fest.

However, as it stands, we can only speculate. There is currently no official information about the GO Fest 2023.
