MontanaBlack has discovered Counter-Strike, opens tons of loot boxes – “This knife cost me 5,000 €”

Maik Schneider 15. March 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Counter-Strike has been a constant success for years and brings many active players and money to Steam operator Valve. Recently, the German top streamer MontanaBlack88 has also been playing the game. However, he is less interested in the shooter – he is fascinated by the loot boxes.

The tactical shooter Counter-Strike is a phenomenon in gaming. The graphics are dated, balance adjustments can even take 10 years, and yet the title has over 700,000 players currently online at the time of this article (via steamcharts.com).

In passing, Counter-Strike has also created a large market for cosmetic items. You can earn different loot boxes and buy keys to open them. Some items are worth more than $100,000.

This has apparently attracted the German streamer MontanaBlack. Recently, he has been showing in his stream how he opens hundreds of boxes and hopes for the grand prize.

More about the career of the German top streamer can be found in our video:

Autoplay

“Actually pretty trash, dude”

Which knife costs €5,000? It was the “Butterfly knife | Urban masked” from the loot boxes “Operation Breakout”. The item has a “red” rarity and can be quite valuable.

However, the boxes in Counter-Strike are treacherous. The skins come with different signs of wear in 5 degrees of severity.

Monte has “Battle-scars” on the knife, which lowers the price by about €250. If it were “Factory new”, the item would probably be worth over €800 – his price check shows the market at around €550. “I don’t want to complain, but it’s actually pretty trash, dude,” Monte says about it.

Loot boxes are a controversial topic: For several years now, discussions have been ongoing about whether they should be equated with gambling and, accordingly, regulated. In Austria, FIFA packs were recently classified as “illegal gambling”, but no such regulations currently exist for Germany.

If you have problems with gambling yourself or are worried about a loved one, contact the counseling hotline of the Federal Ministry. The counseling team of the BZgA can be reached free of charge and anonymously at 0800 1 37 27 00 during the following hours: Monday to Thursday from 10 AM to 10 PM, and Friday to Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM, 363 days a year (excluding December 24 and December 31).

However, he would not have come close to spending €5,000 on the knife. For that, he would have had to open too many of the boxes. Keys and boxes from “Operation Breakout” can be purchased on third-party marketplaces for around €15.

MontanaBlack always makes it clear that he opens the loot boxes for entertainment. It’s real money that he spends for his viewers. There is a risk of addiction, and no one should imitate his behavior.

However, this probably won’t change his content: Already in September 2022, the streamer spoke about loot boxes and explained that everyone is responsible for themselves.

The video featuring the €5,000 knife can be found on his channel “SpontanaBlack” (via YouTube).

CoD MW2 & Warzone 2 snatch a hammer feature from Battlefield 2042 – Your eyes will be pleased

Marius Mach 15. March 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Beenox, a studio behind Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, has announced a new feature for Season 2 Reloaded. You can now decide whether you want to be blinded by flashbangs or whether your screen should dim.

Flashbangs divide the Call of Duty community. While the tactical equipment has a fixed place in some players’ loadouts, others condemn any opponent who throws them around.

The controversy surrounding flashbangs is certainly also due to the fact that their blinding effect is perceived differently by each player. Some people have a high tolerance for the bright flash on the screen. Others are more affected by the effect, which can manifest as headaches, for example.

No wonder some players have already called for a nerf or change to the effect on reddit. The developers are apparently responding to this demand and are utilizing a mechanic that has recently been praised for competitors Battlefield 2042.

But not only flashbangs blind opponents; in the current installment of the Call of Duty series, there are even scopes that obscure your opponents’ vision: CoD MW2 players discover scope with hidden feature – “Scope with flashbang upgrade, genius”.

Season 2 Reloaded not only brings changes to the flashbangs. The update has a lot of cool features. You can find an overview here in the video:

Start video

New option in settings protects your eyes

Beenox, one of the studios working on Call of Duty for Activision, has now released a video on Twitter that gives an insight into the new feature. When you activate the option, you will no longer be blinded by a white screen. Instead, your screen will dim for a few seconds.

With Season 2 Reloaded, the developers are not only adjusting the effect of flashbangs. The nastiest weapon is set to be nerfed, and a killstreak will disappear.

For those now thinking that their favorite tactical equipment is losing its value, we can reassure you. The effect is still the same: Your opponents will be disoriented for a few seconds. However, the effect is much friendlier to the eyes, so it’s a win-win.

The reactions have been positive; the developers’ tweets quickly garnered thousands of likes. For example, Twitter user @BbqChkn43 believes this is a pretty cool feature, and many other users agree.

In response to the community’s question about whether this is only available for PC, the developers promptly replied: The feature will be available on all platforms and in all game modes.

LoL: Team is criticized for not supporting an autistic teenager enough – He ended his career at 19

Lydia 15. March 2023 Reading time 5 minutes

The young professional player Kyle “Danny” Sakamaki was considered an exceptional talent in American League of Legends after his fantastic debut season 2021/2022. However, the then 18-year-old suddenly decided to skip the finals and disappeared from the spotlight. Now he returns as a content creator, and more details about the circumstances of his career ending are coming to light: Apparently, his team did not adequately care for the needs of the now 19-year-old.

What has been the story so far? In 2022, Danny was on the best path to becoming one of the greats in League of Legends: In April, the bot laner helped his team, the Evil Geniuses, win the championship in the Spring Split and set a few records along the way.

Less than half a year later, in September 2022, the pressure seemed to be too much for the young professional: Danny took a break, opted not to play in the next final, wanting to focus on his mental health.

LoL: 18-Year-Old Becomes Master, Considered a Huge Talent – Throws It All Away, Ends Career at 19

von Schuhmann

Private messages from Danny’s friends and family, published in December 2022 by LEC analyst Caedrel, shed a different light on the matter: The young player reportedly returned home in poor condition, possibly undernourished and malnourished.

Allegations against the LoL professional’s team, Evil Geniuses, arose. CEO Nicole LaPointe Jameson, however, denied everything. Almost a year after his great success, Danny returned at the end of February 2023 and defended his team.

However, he is no longer an active player, but a content creator for Evil Geniuses.

Subsequently, more details regarding the circumstances of his break came to light. Three journalists published major insider reports about Danny’s short career and his premature career end.

Serious allegations against his team were raised again:

Danny is autistic
The team neglected his mental and physical health
Riot announced that it was already investigating EG.

Autoplay

Did EG neglect the needs of an autistic player?

Where did the information come from? According to information from the US site Dexerto, several sources from the e-sports organization spoke up and discussed Danny’s treatment. Journalists Richard Lewis, Duncan “Thorin” Shields, and Arsh Goyal published analyses that depicted how much EG had let the young player down.

How did the problems start? According to Goyal, the difficulties surrounding Danny began during the Mid-Season Invitational in May 2022, which took place in Busan, South Korea.

In addition to the already demanding MSI schedule, the unfamiliar environment became an additional source of stress for Danny: EG had also not sent the usual performance staff to Korea.

Danny, whose autism diagnosis was reportedly known to the staff, needs stability and consistency according to Goyal. The loss of his familiar environment and the pressure to perform likely affected him greatly. After EG’s elimination, he posted that he was glad the MSI was over. A post that understandably reminded fans, as they were unaware of his difficulties.

With autism spectrum disorders (ASD) various diagnoses were previously grouped, today we generally speak of ASD. Affected individuals often have impairments in information and perception processing, language, social communication and interaction.
Since it is a spectrum, there can be large differences in what symptoms an autistic person has, how pronounced they are and how much support they need. Often, people with autism have particularly pronounced interests and need fixed routines.
More information can be found at Autismus-Kultur and MSD Manuals.

In the summer after MSI, Danny’s condition reportedly worsened, which was said to have caused increasing concern among staff. The then 18-year-old reportedly withdrew, was said to have arrived late to practice games, and his performance reportedly declined.

EG was said to have initiated measures for Danny’s well-being, including a visit to his family during the annual summer break. However, management apparently insisted that the 18-year-old remain part of the active team.

Danny was apparently pushed far beyond his limits

How did the crisis occur? In the reports by Richard Lewis and Arsh Goyal, there is disagreement about whether EG was already informed before the playoffs that Danny no longer wanted to play. At the latest, after the defeat against Cloud9 in the first round, the 18-year-old reportedly expressed his desire to quit.

This request for a break, however, was not granted. Decision-makers, including CEO Nicole LaPointe Jameson and Director of Performance Lindsey “Gamerdoc” Migliore reportedly opposed sending Danny to the bench.

The reason for the decision was concerns about the market value of the star player and his importance to the EG brand. Danny reportedly entered a deal with management out of a sense of duty to help his team qualify for the Worlds.

lol-danny.lcs — That was Danny (right) in April 2022, after his 1st championship title.

LoL match drags on for over 8 hours – it was likely the breaking point

What was the trigger for the final crisis? The 2nd round of the playoffs, a best-of-five against TSM, apparently tipped the scale: Staff were already trying to avoid prolonged stress for the 18-year-old, but the match turned out to be a tremendous burden. Due to audio problems, the game dragged on for over 8 hours, which was apparently too much for the young professional.

After the devastating Bo5 against TSM, it was reportedly clear to internal sources that Danny was not in condition to continue playing. His teammates, of whom only Jeong “Impact” Eon-yeong knew beforehand how the 18-year-old was doing, expressed concerns.

According to Goyal, Coach Peter Dun was approached by a member of the leadership team to persuade Danny to play against Team Liquid. Dun reportedly refused and, as a result of the demand, decided not to extend his contract with EG.

Despite all the concerns, the 18-year-old played against Team Liquid. Before the match, management members reportedly made disparaging remarks about the young player: it was damn annoying that he ruined everything.

Following the match, Danny flew home to his family and withdrew from the public eye.

18-year-old was reportedly underweight and malnourished

How serious was Danny’s condition? Upon returning home, the 18-year-old reportedly was severely underweight and had several associated medical problems. However, he allegedly declined a hospital stay, as it had come this far only due to his stay in an unfamiliar environment.

For the family, Danny’s condition was a shock: apparently, no one had informed them about the health concerns. They were also assured that mental health would be taken into consideration and that the young player would be adequately cared for – this was not the case.

Riot is investigating Evil Geniuses

What are the consequences? In December 2022, Twitch streamer Caedrel published private messages from family members, leading to allegations against the organization. As reported by the US site Dexerto, a spokesperson for the LCS confirmed that they were aware of the allegations regarding Danny’s treatment.

By the end of 2022, an external law firm was apparently commissioned to investigate. However, the investigation is still ongoing.

The accusation that a coach lost his job after advising the family to contact the LCS Players Association, however, has yet to be confirmed.

More focus on mental health in e-sports

What else went wrong? Other staff raised allegations against EG that go beyond Danny’s case: Management has no connection with staff, makes wrong decisions, and overall lacks empathy.

What does Danny say himself? In his announcement to work as a content creator for Evil Geniuses from now on, Danny defended the organization: The pressure was simply too much for him, but he received ongoing support from EG (via Twitter).

What could have been done better? Nevertheless, the question remains whether the crisis could have been prevented if there had been a stronger focus on mental health within the organization and in e-sports in general.

Goyal describes the staff of EG in his report as “shockingly ill-equipped” to deal with crises in mental health. Warning signs were overlooked and boundaries were crossed because no one knew better.

The organization urgently needed an expert in mental health to work with players and advise them in decision-making. The problems did not originate from the unhealthy internal culture of the organization, but from the general neglect of mental health.

Players wanted Destiny 2 to be harder – Now one struggles with the smallest tasks

Britta ♤ BeAngel 15. March 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

Destiny 2 has raised the difficulty with Lightfall. While players used to chill through the game, they are now sweating even on the smallest tasks, such as on patrols. MeinMMO tells you what frustrates players while farming in Lightfall.

Why has Destiny 2 become harder? Since Lightfall, Bungie has created a new difficulty philosophy for Destiny 2, because players found a lot of things too easy and, over the seasons, the power creep and other changes have made guardians stronger and enemies weaker.

With the old space abilities, almost every enemy could be killed too easily, and some activities were done with one hand behind the back.

Now guardians must be focused and invest in builds, mods, and good gear to succeed. While some activities, like the new raid, have become much more accessible for all players even during the 48-hour contest mode, others that used to be farmed for hours have become a challenging but necessary endeavor.

Normal patrols and the public event in Neomuna have increased in difficulty.
Lost sectors, where players farm for the new exotics, have received a permanent combat delta of +20.

What does combat delta mean in Destiny 2?

Almost every activity in Destiny 2 now has power level handicaps or a scaling combat delta to create a better challenge curve. High-difficulty activities have a hero level at -5, legendary at -15, grandmaster at -20, and pinnacle nightfalls at -25 power level.

Lost sectors, on the other hand, are an exception. They have a so-called combat delta of +20. This means players are not limited here, but can boost their artifact power to be +20 over the enemies. Additionally, there are threats that depend on the currently featured lost sector, such as “Enemies are harder to stagger and have more health.”

This makes even the smallest tasks for some players, like a solo sector, a tiring and frustrating challenge.

Start video

New gameplay of Destiny 2: Lightfall takes you to spectacular heights – “This moment was made for Guardians”

Autoplay

More effort but no better reward

This is what players are criticizing: Players are currently having issues especially with the lost sectors. Due to missing artifact power, a sector feels like a disgusting, artificial difficulty that has been imposed on them in Lightfall.

Worse is the fact that even if one fights through and succeeds, the reward often consists of just a handful of glimmer, nothing more.

This understandably makes farming the new exotic armor pieces from Lightfall feel much more exhausting and even less efficient than in the “The Witch Queen” DLC. And this is despite the fact that the new Vex event also has an extra option to drop exotics.

Bungie had already announced in advance that they would be looking at completion rates and times throughout season 20. They should also check the drop rates for exotic engrams and improve them if necessary. But it could already be too late, as many players have already given up on farming.

As the player betachief77 writes in a reddit post that has already received 2k upvotes:

It feels like Bungie has killed exotic farming in Lightfall, as the lost sectors of the solo legend [due to the new combat delta] are like pulling teeth to complete.
betachief77 describes the situation on reddit

Rewarding loot chests are missing: Many might still come to terms with the new difficulty. Especially since the mods and the new subclass strand have introduced strong build options into the game, which are helpful. Alone with strand, a lost sector can be played well solo despite the combat delta.

However, there is a consensus that the increase in difficulty would at least require a corresponding increase in rewards from the loot chests. No one should be sent home at the end of a grandmaster sector with just glimmer and a damp handshake.

However, many players would already be satisfied if they received at least one piece of gear at their power level at the end of a lost grandmaster sector that at least benefits them.

Currently, Bungie has evidently not yet ignited excitement for the new difficulty among players.

How do you feel? Do you also miss the rewards in the lost sectors? Feel free to leave us a comment.

This new system is also quite controversial in Destiny 2, as guardians find it unnecessary:

Children in Sims 4 paint dark “Spoilers” to Final Fantasy XIV

Irina Moritz 15. March 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

In the children’s rooms of Sims 4, a seemingly harmless drawing will soon appear. However, it hides a “spoiler” to the story of the Endwalker expansion that only fans of Final Fantasy XIV will recognize.

Attention: Major spoilers for the story of the Endwalker expansion of FFXIV follow.

This is the image in question: On March 16, athe “Growing Together” expansion (via GameStar) will be released for Sims 4, focusing on children, family, and growing up. As usual, it brings a whole lot of new features and items, ranging from clothes to furniture, but one thing stands out even before release.

It is a board where Sims kids can pin and display their drawings. In a screenshot, alongside colorful pictures of gloves and mushrooms, there is also a blue bird in space that will set off alarm bells for some FFXIV fans.

The name of the bird is Meteion, and it has triggered an apocalypse in the last expansion of the MMORPG, Endwalker.

What kind of bird is it? In the story of Endwalker, everything revolves around the impending end of all life in the universe. The reasons for this catastrophe lie thousands of years in the past, when the world of FFXIV was not yet split into 14 mirror worlds.

Back then, a scientist named Hermes created the being Meteion and her sisters and sent them into the vastness of the universe to seek the meaning of life.

As it had to happen: Meteion’s sisters discovered nothing but death, destruction, and terrible suffering on their journey. Their logical conclusion was that the best option was for everyone to die so that no one would suffer anymore. So, they set about cruelly exterminating life in the universe.

Although Meteion plays an important role in the overarching story of FFXIV, she only takes the stage very late. It is difficult, if not impossible, to recognize her as a spoiler without certain background knowledge. Even fans who are currently involved in the second-to-last expansion Shadowbringers will know nothing about her. Therefore, it is a very well-hidden “spoiler” from the Sims 4 developers.

von Schuhmann

Is the world of Sims 4 now threatened by an apocalypse? That is rather unlikely. This is not the first reference to FFXIV that the Sims 4 developers have brought into their game. Back in summer 2022, fans discovered some items with names and descriptions that contained more or less subtle references to Square Enix’s MMORPG.

For example, there is the furniture piece “Racked Teak-a Greatshelves,” which refers to the Rak’Tika forest, an area from the Shadowbringers expansion.

In the description, it mentions the “Warriors of Write,” which refers to “Warriors of Light,” i.e., the Warriors of Light.
The line “One brings shadow, one brings the light” came from the main song of Shadowbringers, which was written by Masayoshi Soken.
And RIDING HOOOOOOOOOME was the first thing players heard upon logging in at the release of Shadowbringers.

The drawing of Meteion thus joins the ranks of the witty references to FFXIV that can be found in Sims 4. And if the Seventh Confectioner’s Calamity Firewood has not summoned a meteor containing Bahamut and triggered a catastrophe, then an image of a blue bird will not either.

The next expansion for FFXIV is reportedly set to be revealed at the upcoming fan festivals in Las Vegas, London, and Tokyo, but there is trouble:

WoW: The 7 hardest bosses of all time – They have survived the longest

Cortyn 15. March 2023 Reading time 7 minutes

World of Warcraft has numerous bosses, but only a few could withstand the players for a long time. We show you the hardest bosses that protected their throne for months.

With its over 18 years, World of Warcraft has an extremely extensive game world and numerous raids. Some bosses are defeated on the day of their release, while others live for many weeks or even months. But which bosses have lasted the longest in WoW’s history? Which enemies withstood the onslaught of players for the longest? We present to you the 7 hardest bosses in WoW’s history – at least regarding their lifespan.

Note: The article originally dates back to August 2020. We have updated it in March 2023.

Rank 7: Nefarian

Duration: 77 days (11 raid IDs)
Raid: Blackwing Lair (Vanilla)

As WoW players know, completing BWL is not a Bachelor’s thesis, but the black dragon Nefarian. He kept raiders busy during Vanilla times for a proud 11 weeks and was considered invincible for a long time. This was not only due to the fact that the entire raid before him was quite hard, but also because of a special requirement.

Anyone who wanted to succeed against Nefarian needed an Onyxia Scale Cloak. Only with this item was it possible to survive the devastating Shadow Flame, which would otherwise kill players with one attack. However, since the cloak requires scales from Onyxia, who is also a raid boss, it took a long time to farm the cloaks accordingly.

In addition, Nefarian required quite good coordination and still possesses one of the most famous abilities of all time, namely the so-called “Class Calls” – a mechanic that even returns in Dragonflight. Every class was forced by Nefarian to use special abilities against allies or to help Nefarian. Mages, for example, transformed their friends into animals, leading to a lot of chaos.

Rank 6: Archimonde

Duration: 79 days (12 raid IDs)
Raid: Battle of Mount Hyjal (The Burning Crusade)

Archimonde was the final boss of the Battle of Mount Hyjal and belonged to the expansion “The Burning Crusade”.

The Battle of Mount Hyjal is considered one of the longest raid instances due to its structure. The battle resembles the map from Warcraft III. Here too, you had to defeat waves of enemies to withstand the onslaught of the Legion and the Scourge. If you fail at individual bosses or waves, the whole process has to be repeated. So a lot of time could pass between individual boss attempts.

Accordingly, Archimonde could make himself cozy at the very end of this raid. When players finally reached him, he had numerous devastating effects. Deadly debuffs with high damage, massive knockback effects that could cause players to die from fall damage, and a well that silenced everyone for a long time if they fell into it.

Note: Strictly speaking, Archimonde survived a bit longer because you had to complete the previous raids to access this raid. However, we consider the point at which it would have been technically possible to visit Archimonde.

Rank 5: Yogg-Saron

Duration: 85 days (13 raid IDs)
Raid: Ulduar (Wrath of the Lich King)

With its 14 bosses, Ulduar is one of the largest raids of all time in World of Warcraft. Especially the final battle was particularly tough – at least in the hardest available variant.

As with almost all bosses in Ulduar, there were different hard modes that made bosses harder, added new abilities, and improved potential loot.

With Yogg-Saron, players had the option to forego the help of the Titan constructs. Each of these guardians provided relief in the fight, such as a way to restore the character’s mental health.

Exactly this mental health was also the crux of the fight. Many abilities robbed players of their sanity, and anyone who lost all their mental health would end up as a servant of the Old God and turn against their allies. It’s not surprising, then, that Yogg-Saron held out for a full 85 days with the challenging “+0” variant.

Rank 4: Kel’thuzad

Duration: 90 days (13 raid IDs)
Raid: Naxxramas (Vanilla)

Kel’thuzad was not only an important character in Warcraft III but also the last major antagonist of the Vanilla version of World of Warcraft. He ruled over the necropolis Naxxramas and was the final boss before it went into The Burning Crusade with the first expansion.

Naxxramas is known for several things. On the one hand, access to Naxxramas was quite expensive, as players had to buy the passage – depending on how much reputation they had farmed beforehand, this cost more or less. However, the much greater challenges were the tough boss mechanics.

At least by Vanilla WoW standards, Naxxramas raised the bar and offered interesting but also deadly mechanics. Just think of the famous “Heigan Dance” or the four horsemen that required four tanks. Frost resistances and other tricks were also expected here.

At the end of all these difficulties stood Kel’thuzad with an extremely long fight, in which particularly many adds had to be killed. Thanks to the groundwork of the other bosses, it was unsurprising that Kel’thuzad managed to maintain his honor for a full 3 months before the first group succeeded in killing the top servant of the Lich King.

Sons of the Forest: find and use can opener – Here’s how

Marie Friske 15. March 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Here is a guide on how to get a can opener (in English: Can Opener) in Sons of the Forest and where to find it on the map.

You need the can opener in Sons of the Forest to open canned food and gain access to additional food such as cat food.

The can opener is not an essential item that would leave you stranded in the main story, like the key cards. However, this small item can easily help you acquire more food.

Where can I find a can opener?

There are a total of 3 locations on the map where you can find a can opener. There is no specific order that you need to follow. It’s enough if you visit one of the 3 locations to secure a can opener.

How do I find a can opener? At the red marker, you will find two tents in the snowy surroundings. Next to one of the two, various items lie in the snow, including the can opener.

The yellow marker leads you to the coast. At this location, you will find a can opener, as well as a soda and a watch.

The blue marker shows you an abandoned camp. Orient yourself by the waterfall; next to it is the camp full of loot. Among the items, there is also a can opener. The item is located next to a corpse. Additionally, you can find the following items in the camp:

2x supply cases
4x liquor
food
2x watch
2x rope
2x laptop (circuit boards)
4x golf balls

What are the requirements for the can opener? To get a can opener, you do not need any tools and do not have to meet any requirements.

Pokémon GO rewards you now if you watch videos – You can also turn it off

Max Handwerk 15. March 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO you can now receive video ads via balloon, in exchange there should be some items. It is also possible to turn off the ads.

What kind of ads is this? As some trainers report, Pokémon GO is currently able to send out special video ads.

These come, as you may already know from other ads in the game, flying in with a special balloon. If you click on this balloon, the ad will be displayed, allowing you to start the video.

This is what it looks like, shared by user “InvisibleSoul8” via reddit:

How can I turn off ads? In Pokémon GO you can turn off ads by taking the following path in the settings:

Open settings
Select “General”
Disable “Show sponsored messages from third parties”
Restart the app

If the option is disabled, you should generally not receive sponsored messages from other providers in the game. This also applies to the balloons.

Alternatively, you can simply ignore the balloons if you do not want to completely disable the sponsor messages.

Trainers want better items as rewards

When, where, and under what conditions the balloons appear is currently still unclear. However, there are already initial indications of what items might be inside. User InvisibleSoul8 on reddit reports having received the following items for his video (via reddit):

250 Stardust
1 Potion
1 Golden Razz Berry
2 Sanan Berries

It remains to be seen whether there will be differing rewards per video, or if the items are generally moving in this direction.

Huge find for raids in Pokémon GO: 3 new features and ‘Crypto Raids’ are coming

What trainers say: In the subreddit “TheSilphRoad”, trainers are already sharing their opinions about the ads. Some emphasize directly that they would rather turn off the ads and have nothing to do with them.

Others say: They are indeed interested – if there are strong items.

“Give me an additional permanent incubator and I would even watch all the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies in a row,” says a user (via reddit).
“I take free raid passes. No for other items” (via reddit).
“I would do it for coins or incubators” (via reddit).
“As long as it is optional, this is a welcome addition,” says a user (via reddit): “Especially for players with limited stops or gyms.”

What do you think about the ads? Can you imagine watching video ads for items in Pokémon GO? And if so: For which items would you do that? Let us know in the comments!

Otherwise, many events are coming up in Pokémon GO again soon. First, there will be the Community Day with Slowpoke this weekend, but even afterwards new content will continue. Just recently, the new “Let’s GO” event in Pokémon GO was announced.

A user’s gaming PC is too hot, he simply lets the system cool off with icy outside air – how dangerous is the ‘cool’ idea?

Benedikt Schlotmann 15. March 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

A gamer is struggling with high temperatures in their PC. They come up with a particularly brilliant idea: They just place the PC on the balcony in the icy air. But this “solution” is heavily debated. Does the cold air damage the gaming system or is it irrelevant?

The user shows with a picture what a significant impact the cold outside air has on their PC. The -10 degrees Celsius outside temperature significantly lowers the inside temperatures of their computer. The temperatures of their Intel processor are between 6 and 9 degrees, which is quite impressive.

But can the “brilliant” idea harm the PC or can one just do that? The community is extremely divided.

Can humidity damage the gaming PC?

These are the reactions: Not everyone is enthusiastic and believes that such an action ultimately harms the gaming PC in the long term. Many explain that the outside humidity must be much higher. In a short time, they are likely to have completely different problems than “high temperatures.” So someone quips (via reddit.com):

Next post: Can cold computers be turned on? I don’t know what happened after I exposed my computer to unusual humidity.

Others see another problem: The computer wouldn’t run continuously for days. If the heavily cooled computer is turned on after several hours, it could harm the system. Because electronic devices and cold don’t mix well. With such sudden temperature fluctuations, condensation can form. And moisture is not good for electronic devices.

However, the user Kingmi123 comes to the thread starter’s defense and replies that humidity is not a big problem. They write (via reddit.com):

In many threads here, it is not taken into account that the saturation point of cold air is always lower than that of warm air.

Cold air is completely saturated with fewer water molecules than hot air. This means that for 100% humidity in cold air, less water must be present in the air than in warm air. Once the saturation point is reached, condensation occurs.

This is the reason why hot air condenses when it hits a cold surface. The air near the cold surface is colder and therefore has a lower saturation point. What is a humidity of 60% in a warm room becomes 100% humid when it hits the cold surface.

Reverse the above scenario as OP does. Cold air comes into contact with a hot surface. The percentage of relative humidity around the components is significantly lower than outside, which means that condensation is practically impossible.

You can observe the principle in winter when you heat your apartment. When warm air hits the cold window surface, the window becomes moist. The biggest problem is when condensate forms. Because water damages computers and can cause a short circuit.

If the humidity in your apartment is very high, it can cause several problems and may even lead to mold. Normally, the humidity in the apartment should be between 50 and 60%. You can check this with a hygrometer, which you can get for a few euros in a specialty store or hardware store.

Gamer opens Gaming PC for the first time after 6 years and shows why you should not make the same mistake

von Benedikt Schlotmann

High temperatures cause various problems in the computer

Why should high temperatures be avoided? When hardware runs under high temperatures significantly, it will eventually run much slower. The processor and graphics card throttle their performance to cope with the heat or shut down in emergencies to protect components.

Additionally, some components wear out faster with high temperature fluctuations or at very high temperatures. Therefore, many gamers try to keep temperatures and possible fluctuations in check and either use extensive air cooling or opt for water cooling right away.

How can you check temperatures? With the small tool HWMonitor, you can easily (and for free) check the temperatures in your computer. The tool reads the data, and you can check them directly.

Pokémon GO brings “Let’s GO” event with Shiny-Meltan and a Rocket takeover

Franzi Korittke 15. March 2023 Reading time 5 minutes

In Pokémon GO starts in a few days the “Let’s GO” event, allowing you to encounter Shiny-Meltan once again after a long time. Team Rocket will also be creating chaos again. We have summarized for you the spawns and bonuses that await you here on MeinMMO.

What event is it about? Pokémon GO is hosting an event at the end of March called “Let’s GO,” where you will assist Professor Willow once again in his research.

Around the theme of “everyday heroes,” a number of monsters await you that you don’t encounter as often in the game. In addition, Team Rocket has planned a takeover again. We will show you which spawns you can expect and what other content you can look forward to.

When does the event take place? The “Let’s GO” event runs from March 21, 2023, at 10:00 AM local time until March 29, 2023, at 8:00 PM local time.

Encounters with Shiny-Meltan, Ditto, and regional Pokémon

During the event, you will have the opportunity to encounter some Pokémon that you don’t see that often. Therefore, you should not overlook the following specimens:

Meltan: One of these monsters is Meltan, which you can finally obtain again in its shiny form. This is not available outside of special events. As usual, you can find the Steel Pokémon by activating the mystery box.

Additionally, there will be a higher chance of encountering Meltan in sizes XXS and XXL during the event. These are required for the progress of the two size medals “Catch tiny/huge Pokémon.”

Here we show you how to get Meltan with the help of the mystery box.

Regional Pokémon: Furthermore, you will also encounter the regional Pokémon Vegimak, Grillmak, and Sodamak all over the world. With the exception of Grillmak, which is usually found here in Europe, you will need to travel outside of such events for the others.

So, it’s a good opportunity to secure these. With some luck, you might also encounter them in their shiny forms.

Which regional Pokémon there are also in the game, you can find out here.

Ditto: Another Pokémon that you can encounter more frequently during the “Let’s GO” event is Ditto. The monster from the first game generation likes to transform into other monsters and hopes to disguise itself this way. During the event, it will change its disguise and will once again be found behind other Pokémon. So, pay attention to the following monsters when catching:

Digda
Sleima
Snubbull
Krebscorps
Staralili
Kiesling
Schalquap
Leufeo

With some luck, there might be a Ditto in its shiny form behind these Pokémon.

Steam: Dark simulation excels with deep gameplay mechanics, is 93% positive – Inspired by Dwarf Fortress

Marie Friske 15. March 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

Barotrauma is a cooperative game and submarine simulator on Steam that sends you on a creepy dive tour. Work together to survive in the depths of the ocean or make each other’s lives difficult.

Barotrauma combines survival horror with RPG elements. You are either alone or with friends as part of a submarine crew in cooperative mode. Together, you discover what lies beneath the ocean’s depths and complete missions.

In this process, you can operate complex systems and equipment of the submarine, such as sonar, engines, and pumps, and you must defend yourselves in tactical real-time battles against hostile monsters.

The game is also playable on the Steam Deck, but you will need to make some adjustments yourself. The font size is very small, and you must manually adjust it in the menu.

Here you can see the latest trailer for Barotrauma for the update “Urban Expanses”:

Start video

Barotrauma Update Trailer – Urban Expanses

Autoplay

Discover a dark underwater world full of dangers

What does the gameplay in Barotrauma look like? You work with your crew to keep the submarine in shape. Take care to navigate the vehicle, repair leaks, and craft items.

The game is said by the developers to “follow in the footsteps of games like FTL: Faster Than Light, Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress, and Space Station 13” (via Steam). It combines teamwork, betrayal, and alien deep-sea monsters with a dark 2D environment.

However, you are not alone in the depths of the sea. Gruesome alien monsters lurk in the water and can quickly put an end to your journey. Fight the creatures or flee from them. You can not only create your own submarine but also design your own deep-sea creatures in the editor.

But even within your submarine, you must always keep your eyes open. There could be a traitor among your crew members. So always stay vigilant!

You can play Barotrauma in both singleplayer and together in online cooperative mode with a crew of up to 16 players. Choose from 6 different classes for the position on board that you would like to fulfill:

Captain
Engineer
Mechanic
Doctor
Security Officer
Assistant

Through procedurally generated maps and missions as well as various game modes, the game aims to create high replayability.

If you are still not sure whether Barotrauma is right for you: You can find a detailed review of the submarine game at our colleagues at GameStar.

Players praise the game for its complex gameplay mechanics

How do players rate Barotrauma? The cooperative game performs very well on Steam. Of the total 30,571 reviews, 93% are positive (as of March 14, 2023, via Steam). This includes the reviews of the early access version of the game.

Users praise in the reviews how deep and complex the gameplay mechanics are. At the same time, this can be a bit overwhelming, especially for newcomers, and it requires some familiarization with the game.

Many recommend the cooperative mode as a fun experience:

FuuChan: “What a great game! What I did not expect was this level of depth! (Pun intended). Although it is not marketed as such, this game is very similar to Project Zomboid in its level of detail. Engineers can redesign the ship using computer logic chips to make it do what they want. Doctors have one of the most detailed medical systems I’ve ever played. […] A true passion project that I think will have a player base for a long time to come.”
High Roller: “Fun game, I’ve only seen a few titles that went from rough prototypes to a complete game like this, so bonus points for an early access game that delivered. The game reaches its fullest potential in cooperative mode with friends.”

How much does Barotrauma cost? Currently, you can get the cooperative game on sale. Instead of €34.99, you currently pay €26.24, saving 25% off the original price. The offer ends on March 16, 2023.

All bundles and additional content for the game are also discounted between 29% and 68%.

Mobile MMORPGs are the future of the genre and that’s great

Alexander Leitsch 15. March 2023 Reading time 4 minutes

While MMORPGs had primarily their place on the PC in the past, many games are now appearing entirely for mobile or at least offer crossplay to smartphones. While this trend scares off many fans, MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch is increasingly taken with mobile MMORPGs.

A few years ago, I was a convinced PC gamer who couldn’t imagine playing on my smartphone. “This is just a place where Peggle or Candy Crush can be played, not for real gamers,” you would have heard me shout. But ever since I became a father, I see the situation a bit differently.

As a baby, my daughter liked to sleep for hours on my belly, and today she still needs help falling asleep. However, it’s hard to take my gaming PC into her nursery, whereas I can easily take my smartphone. Plus, one is constantly on the go, to friends or family, and rarely comes to the home PC.

So I now play MMORPGs on my smartphone almost every day. Admittedly, not the games with dull autoplay, but primarily RuneScape and occasionally Albion Online. And for me, these titles are exactly prime examples of how to make good mobile MMORPGs.

And I am not alone in playing on the smartphone. In 2021, 23.5 million people in Germany played regularly on their mobile phones (via game). On the PC, however, there are only “just” 14.3 million players. Internationally, especially in Asian and South American countries, it looks quite different. Here, smartphones dominate.

Who’s talking here? Alex is the MMORPG expert at MeinMMO. He has spent hundreds and thousands of hours in games like Guild Wars 2, ESO, Black Desert, and New World. Recently, he plays more on his smartphone, which led to this column.

Currently successful: PC+Mobile

In a new anime MMORPG you can summon 350 monsters – Already has 30,000 players on Steam shortly after release

The 9 best mobile MMORPGs 2023 for iOS and Android

All mobile MMORPGs are pay-to-win, autoplay, and anyway silly!

For years, more MMORPGs have been released for mobile each month than in an entire year for the PC. Games like Lineage W generate 8 times more revenue than 3 major PC MMORPGs combined. And even large companies like Blizzard with Diablo Immortal or Riot Games with LoL Wild Rift have jumped onto the mobile bandwagon in recent years.

However, mobile MMORPGs have a bad reputation, and not without reason. Many titles rely on aggressive monetization, which allows players to skip artificially integrated time barriers or simply purchase significant advantages in the shop – in other words, pay-to-win.

I myself tried three new games in the Play Store last December that I had never heard of by name but received over 4.5 stars from more than 10,000 reviews. And my goodness – all three were a disaster. They all relied on autoplay, and they all had a shop with real pay-to-win, one with potions that simply give you 10% more stats or more damage… great!

But high-quality mobile MMORPGs with crossplay to other platforms are the future, I am firmly convinced. And with RuneScape, I am currently realizing how well this can work.

Many quests, simple fights, and collecting and crafting I do while lying in bed. Difficult tasks, on the other hand, are completed on the PC when I have a larger screen as well as a mouse and keyboard in front of me.

And I could imagine this concept for many MMORPGs since in nearly every game, there are tasks that could easily be accomplished on a smartphone.

PC first, Mobile second

The important thing is that developers think of their PC community first. There should be no autoplay and no pay-to-win. There must be challenging content, such as in the form of tough dungeons and raids or large PvP battles. Many Asian MMORPGs have done the opposite, such as Odin: Valhalla Rising, which, while also being released for PC, still offers autoplay there.

There’s a reason why I am playing RuneScape and Albion Online on my smartphone. Both were first released for PC and then brought out mobile versions. With great success, especially for RuneScape. The franchise celebrated record profits and player numbers thanks to Steam and Mobile releases.

How does Albion Online play on the smartphone? Check out this video:

Start video

Albion Online in 2 Minutes: How does the sandbox MMORPG play on mobile?

Autoplay

But it seems that western developers are now also increasingly following this path – PC first, Mobile second. A prominent example is Pax Dei, a new sandbox game that is first released on Steam, to later be playable as a cloud MMORPG on consoles and mobiles.

More than a quarter of all 59 PC MMORPGs currently in development have already announced a mobile version. And I think that’s great. Because if I can play my favorite MMORPG on multiple platforms, I can invest even more time in the game.

What do you think about mobile MMORPGs? Do you have any games that you think are really good, or should MMORPGs only be released for PC? Feel free to share in the comments.

Diablo 4: All Classes Ranked – From Unpopular to Popular

Irina Moritz 15. March 2023 Reading time 5 minutes

The action RPG Diablo 4 is set to release in summer 2023. We wanted to know from you which class you will start with in the game as soon as it is released. Here are your answers.

In just a few days it will be time: The beta for Diablo 4 is coming and will be playable first for pre-orderers and a week later for everyone.

Unlike previous Diablo games, in D4 you can create your own hero using a detailed character creator. There is no gender lock, so you have the freedom of choice.

We wanted to know which of the 5 announced classes of Diablo 4 you like the most so far. Here is the ranking of the most popular classes that has emerged based on your choice.

Diablo 4 Tier List: Best classes at launch and endgame

Update: This article was originally published on December 10 and has now been updated with new information.

Rank 5: Sorceress

Votes: 14.67% (393)

What kind of class is this? The Sorceress is a typical mage class, ruling over the elements of fire, ice, and lightning. It has been described by the developers as a “High Risk, High Reward” class. This means that while it can deal high damage, it can also go down quickly if you’re not careful.

The abilities of the Sorceress are divided in addition to the elements into:

Minor Destruction – These skills consume no mana or even regenerate it while dealing lesser damage (Lightning, Frost Bolt, Fire Bolt)
Major Destruction – The heavy damage skills that cost a lot of mana (Fireball, Ice Shards, Chain Lightning)
Conjurations Skills – abilities that summon something – This can be a lightning spear that flies around the battlefield and deals damage or a fire hydra that acts as an auto-turret.

The unique class mechanic of the Sorceress is the Enchantment. Its abilities can either be used actively or socketed into the Enchantment slots. This turns them into passive effects that can influence other skills. In total, up to 3 abilities can be placed into the Enchantment slots.

Rank 4: Barbarian

Votes: 14.78% (396)

What kind of class is this? Barbarians are physical melee fighters, as they are written in the book. They always fight on the front line, and their abilities reflect that. They use Fury as a resource for their abilities in battle.

It is generated by free basic skills and consumed by powerful Fury skills. But some defensive abilities of the Barbarian also require Fury, though not all of them.

The unique class mechanic of the Barbarian is the Arsenal. As masters of weapons, the class can equip up to 4 different weapons and fluidly switch between them in battle.

Two-handed club weapon
Two-handed blade weapon
2x one-handed weapons

The weapons are also automatically switched when they are required for certain skills. So you don’t have to worry about it. However, this has the “disadvantage” that skills cannot be performed without the respective required weapon. Therefore, it is important to always fill the 4 weapon slots accordingly.

Rank 3: Huntress

Start video

Diablo 4: The Hunter Class in the Trailer

Autoplay

Votes: 17.88% (479)

What kind of class is this? The Huntress is characterized mainly by her high mobility and her ability to switch between melee and ranged combat. She uses either daggers, swords, bows, or crossbows as weapons.

To annihilate her enemies, the Huntress uses traps and can imbue her weapons with various effects. These effects include, for example, poison, shadow, and ice, but there should be more. She can fluidly change these effects in combat and also confer them to her teammates.

The class-specific mechanic of the Huntress is the class specializations, which enhance her in battle. There are a total of 3 of them:

Shadow Realm allows you to escape into the shadow world, where you are safe from enemies. However, you can drag enemies with you into this world to defeat them there.
Combos allow you to build points by using basic skills. These are then consumed by other abilities to activate special effects.
Exploit Weakness allows you to perform counterattacks that deal extra damage to enemies who are currently preparing a skill.

Only one of the 3 specializations can be active at a time, and they will play a role in the Huntress’s quests.

Rank 2: Druid

Votes: 19.75% (529)

What kind of class is this? Druids are the guardians of nature in Sanctuary and use their power to extinguish the hordes of hell. The class can deal physical attacks and also cast spells. However, unlike the actual Sorceresses, Druids master the magic of wind and earth.

The class’s abilities cause tornadoes, windstorms, landslides, and earthquakes that devastate everything around you. You can also use the power of nature for defense, for example in the form of a wind shield or earth armor.

The connection with nature is also shown through the Druids’ companions. In battle, the Druids can be aided by wolves, ravens, and living plants. They themselves can also transform. A Druid can shred its opponents in the form of a bear.

The class mechanic of the Druid allows you to loot offerings from enemies and then sacrifice them to deities. If proper offerings are delivered, you will receive a lasting blessing from a deity, enjoying certain advantages as a result.

Votes: 32.92% (882)

What kind of class is this? Necromancers are the guardians of the balance between life and death in Diablo. Accordingly, you will wield scythes as your weapons in battle and use dark magic that gives you power over the undead.

The Necromancer requires two different resources for their skills:

Essence is the primary resource and refills slowly over time. Using certain abilities can speed up the process.
Corpses, on the other hand, are generated when you slay enemies. They are needed to execute various skills. More corpses can also be generated with the ability Decompose.

In Diablo 4, you have the choice of whether you prefer to play as a summoner with your undead army or alone, but the special mechanic of the class is completely focused on customizing your minions.

With the Book of the Dead, you can decide how the skeleton warriors, skeleton mages, and the golem fight, whether they prefer to fight defensively or offensively, or even grant them their own specializations. In general, the Necromancer is currently considered the most versatile of the 5 starter classes of Diablo 4.

During the Game Awards 2022, Blizzard released a new trailer for D4 that shows for the first time an extremely important character:

WoW nerfs its final boss, Raszageth will be weakened by up to 20%

Cortyn 15. March 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

The current final boss of World of Warcraft is getting nerfed again. A whopping 20% damage is being taken away from the Storm Eater.

That constant balancing is adjusted in the first weeks of a new expansion is normal. But only a few raids have received so many adjustments afterwards as the Vault of the Incarnates. Once again, the final boss Raszageth is under scrutiny on heroic and mythical difficulty. But there are also some nerfs scheduled in the “Mythic+” area. The changes are live now.

Nerfs for Raszageth

The current final boss of Dragonflight continues to cause problems. Especially on heroic and mythical difficulty, a single death in the early phases can already mean that the fight is a failure. This is now being changed and will occur less often. The damage from the boss fight is significantly reduced, and the DPS requirements for a particularly critical phase are lowered.

Raszageth (Heroic)
- Chain Lightning deals 20% less damage.
- Unstable Current deals 20% less damage.
- Storm Surge absorbs 20% less damage.
- The periodic damage from Remaining Charge has been reduced by 20%.

Raszageth (Mythic)
- Chain Lightning deals 20% less damage.
- Unstable Current deals 20% less damage.
- Storm Surge absorbs 20% less damage.
- Stormbolt of the Stormseeker Primalist deals 25% less damage.
- The periodic damage from Remaining Charge has been reduced by 20%.
- Fulminating Charge now slows players instead of rooting them. The tooltip will be corrected in a later patch.

In summary, the fight against Raszageth will therefore become significantly more forgiving, whether on heroic or mythical difficulty. Guilds that are currently struggling against the final boss may now receive the crucial push to defeat Raszageth before the release of Patch 10.0.7.

Mythic+: Nerfs at the Azure Vault

There are also some nerfs at the Azure Vault that will make the dungeon more enjoyable. These are:

The timer for completion on “Mythic+” difficulty is increased to 35 minutes and 30 seconds (previously 34 minutes).
The cooldown of the ability Sparkling Scales of the Chamber Guardians has been increased.
Azure Blade
- The mana of Azure Blade drains over 60 seconds (previously 50 seconds).

Overall, the changes should ensure that the Azure Vault is completed more frequently within the time limit at higher levels. Not only do all have a few seconds more time, but some of the “most annoying” abilities that stretch fights have been weakened. This should give all groups a little boost who previously had issues here.

What do you think of the changes? Long overdue and sensible? Or is it time to stop with the adjustments?

LoL: 23-year-old German is thrown out of the team, has to take a season off – now rolls everything flat

Schuhmann 15. March 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

For 23-year-old Elias “Upset” Lipp, the last few months in League of Legends have been a rollercoaster ride. The young man played fantastic LoL for Fnatic, yet was thrown out of the team and benched. Now, however, he has found a new team and is immediately back at the top of the league. With a KDA of 44.0, he leads the statistics, and his team is on a championship course.

This was the quirky situation of Upset:

The German ADC “Upset” made a name for himself at Schalke, later transferring to Origen. In 2020, he finally joined Fnatic as a young talent, replacing the legendary Rekkles.
He played for the team for 3 years and became the focal point of the team. As a cautious acting bot laner, Upset achieved fantastic statistics, repeatedly leading the rankings – he was considered the biggest talent in the bot lane in Europe, a top-tier player.
However, his team did not achieve the desired success and in 2022, Rekkles returned to Fnatic. Upset was benched. Although Fnatic played terribly without the German, Rekkles insisted on a starting position guarantee. Therefore, Upset could no longer play for Fnatic and was essentially redundant. He mainly streamed on Twitch thereafter.

LoL: “Besides the game there isn’t much in my life”, says a star player and starts crying on Twitch

von Schuhmann

Upset joins Perkz at Team Vitality

This was now the turning point: After Rekkles had received his starting position guarantee, Upset finally transferred to Team Vitality, who needed a strong bot laner to relieve their star mid laner Perkz.

Team Vitality is a French project aimed at perhaps the biggest European star player, the Croatian Perkz. However, the project has not been functioning so far, every team combination fell short of expectations. Players were repeatedly swapped out.

3 games and not even dead once

How is it going for Upset now? Remarkably well. Team Vitality has won all of their first 3 games, including a stomp against Fnatic. With 22-3-49, they gave Fnatic no chance. Upset scored 5-0-9 on Xayah. Rekkles had 1-5-1 on Zeri. That was a thrashing.

Upset is playing outstandingly strong for Team Vitality:

After the first 3 games, Upset has a KDA of 44.0.
21 kills and 23 assists stand against 0 deaths.
The man hasn’t even died once.

He also receives high praise from his new mid laner. He writes: ‘Perkz farms in the middle and gets giga-carried by bot and the jungler. It’s like in Season 6 and I love it.’

After carrying the main burden of the team at Fnatic for years, he now has decent firepower around him at Team Vitality with Perkz in the mid lane, the German supporter Kaiser as his bot lane partner, and the Chinese mega-talent Bo in the jungle. The 21-year-old Bo also has a KDA of 44.0 after the first 3 games and has not died once either.

Upset and Team Vitality seem to be on course for the title and MSI.

His new jungler, Bo, has already experienced quite a bit in LoL despite his young age:

Reddit is down – The “homepage of the internet” went unexpectedly offline on March 14th, experiencing issues

Schuhmann 15. March 2023 Reading time 3 minutes

The huge forum “reddit” is offline on Tuesday evening, March 14th. The outage is worldwide. It started around 8:18 PM. The reason for the unexpected disruption is internal issues. We are monitoring the situation at MeinMMO and what reddit says about the outages.

Help, Tuesday evening is in danger. For many users in the gaming and tech cosmos, it is part of the evening ritual to check the platform reddit. But on March 14th, there have been problems since around 8:20 PM.

Those who want to access the platform find their browser freezing. Simply no page opens. This is not an individual problem with your PC or smartphone; the app simply isn’t working right now.

Even though reddit is responsible for a lot of positive things, the forum also has its downsides:

Problem occurred at 8:18 PM – Reddit has found the reason for the outage

What is the status of the problem?

Through the Twitter account “reddit Status”, the platform reported at 8:18 PM that they are currently investigating why reddit is offline. They are working on identifying the cause.
At 8:56 PM our time, the message came that reddit has identified the problem and is working on a fix.

The problem was apparently a bug in an “internal system.”

Update 9:19 PM: The current status of reddit shows “Major Outage” for the “Desktop Web” and “Mobile Web” apps. This is very rare. Both functions are actually online 99.9% of the time – based on the last 90 days.

Update 9:28 PM: The Twitter thread is becoming a replacement reddit. Just like on reddit

users are giving valuable tips (“Have you tried turning it off and on again”)

Update 10:30 PM: The problems seem to be severe. Even at 10:30 PM there is still no news from reddit about the status of the outage. We are continuing to monitor the situation and will report back at the latest by 11:00 PM.

Reddit says they have identified and are working on a fix

Update 10:53 PM: At 10:43 PM, reddit announced they have now identified a fix. However, “it will take some time” until the fix is implemented. In the meantime, users should remain patient.

An exact time for when the fix will come and when reddit will function properly again is not yet known.

Twitch streamer Asmongold falls for seemingly cute anime girl – “That just ruined my day”

Lydia 15. March 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

The American Zack is the biggest MMORPG streamer on Twitch. In a stream on March 14, he ventured into the “Genshin Impact” category on Twitch and was promptly deceived by an apparently cute anime girl.

How did this situation arise? Asmongold became known as a WoW streamer but also deals with meta topics on Twitch and often reacts to content from Reddit during his streams. In a stream on March 14, he was just navigating his own subreddit when he came across a thread about the action RPG Genshin Impact.

In the post, a viewer brought up something that Asmongold had already addressed: the presence of Genshin Impact on Twitch does not correspond to the large community of the game, as there are hardly any big streamers (via reddit).

Asmongold promptly switched to the “Genshin Impact” category on Twitch to confirm the statements and watched the currently most viewed stream: “I don’t know if this surprises anyone, but the top streamer is a VTuber anime waifu.”

However, when he opened the stream, Asmongold was in for a surprise.

“Wait, this is a guy?”

What kind of streamer was that? Asmongold caught the stream of “OkCode,” one of the most viewed streamers of Genshin Impact (via sullygnome). OkCode is a Vtuber, so he does not show himself in streams but uses an animated avatar that reflects his facial expressions and movements.

However, OkCode is not a woman, which Asmongold quickly had to find out after he opened the stream and heard the streamer speak: “Wait, this is a guy?”

Why did OkCode look like an anime girl? Asmongold tuned into the stream at just the right moment, as OkCode was explaining that he could attract more viewers with a female model:

This chat [laughs]. I feel like by just switching to a female waifu model, I get way more views.

This is what OkCode usually looks like in his streams

OkCode was also pondering out loud about possibly doing a stream where he is not heard at all, uses a female avatar, and creates a suitable voice using artificial intelligence. “You should have done that!” Asmongold exclaimed.

The MMORPG streamer finally left the stream with the words: “That just ruined my whole day” and returned to his subreddit.

His viewers had little sympathy for the streamer and laughed at him in the chat for being lured in by a supposed anime girl: that one really got him good (via Twitch). Asmongold then didn’t want to hear any more explanations that OkCode normally streams with a male model.

In a new shooter on Steam, campers will be punished – The final beta starts soon

Dariusz Müller 15. March 2023 Reading time 2 minutes

Veiled Experts (PC) is an upcoming tactical shooter on Steam, where campers have a particularly hard time. The final beta test will start this month.

What kind of game is this? Veiled Experts is a tactical shooter developed by Nexon Games, where two teams of 5 players each compete against each other, and it will be released as a free-to-play title on Steam.

In Veiled Experts, a variation of the “Search and Destroy” mode known to shooter fans is played, where one team must plant a bomb and the other team must defuse it.

Similar to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Valorant, you can also access a shop between rounds and purchase new equipment. You must also remain still when shooting to give bullets a better chance of hitting.

The major difference from CS:GO and Valorant is that Veiled Experts is played from a third-person perspective.

How are campers punished in the game? Even on the game’s Steam page, Veiled Experts emphasizes a gameplay aspect that the developers simply describe as “No Camping.” The shooter incorporates various mechanics designed to prevent long sitting and waiting. The focus is on action and movement.

For instance, there is a magnetic field that moves during the match, shrinking the map and forcing you to change your positions. If you are in the magnetic field, you take damage.

Additionally, there are various gadgets and agent abilities that allow you to scan the environment and reveal enemy positions or alter them using explosives and destroy cover options.

MeinMMO editor Maik Schneider has already tested Veiled Experts.

Here you can see the gameplay trailer for the final beta:

When does the beta start? Veiled Experts will start a final beta test on Steam still in March. Here you can see when it starts and when it ends:

Beta Start – March 30, 2023, 21:00

Beta End – April 6, 2023, 21:00

If you are accepted for the beta, you will receive a notification via email. How generous the developers are with the distribution of beta keys is not yet known.

Just a few days ago, another action-packed shooter, “The Finals,” started a two-week beta test that attracted numerous viewers on Twitch on the very first day.

Lost Ark: There has never been a better time than today to start with the MMORPG

Mark Sellner 15. March 2023 Reading time 5 minutes

Today, on March 15th, the “Art of War” update comes to Lost Ark. Accompanying it is not only a new class but also the best combination of events that the game has ever offered. Especially for newcomers and returnees, the events are more than optimal.

What happens in Lost Ark? On March 15th, the first part of the “Art of War” update arrives in Arkesia. The second part will follow in April. And this update brings many new features, especially for newcomers and returnees.

On one hand, the Artist, a new class, which has already broken records in Korea. It is highly anticipated and is expected to bring some players back to the game. This is at least the current sentiment on Twitter.
To make it easy for these players, four events start on March 15th, making your return or entry as simple as possible.
Besides that, endgame players will also receive new content in March. For them, there is a new 48 vs. 48 player battleground on the continent of Rowen, where you can earn faction XP and fight with people on other servers.

An overview of the content can be found here:

4 Events for new players and returnees – What’s included

In addition to the content for endgame players and the new classes, there are 4 events starting on March 15th, specifically tailored for beginners.

We would like to introduce these events to you, so you understand how they are interconnected and how you can best take advantage of them.

Story Event for complete beginners

What is behind the Story Express Event? This event is best suited for newcomers. It picks you up right at the beginning and helps significantly to catch up with the current endgame players.

It works as follows:

The event can only be started on a character that is still below level 11
Only one character per account can participate in the event
It then guides you through the entire story, from level 10 to gear score 1,340
Along the way, you will receive assistance in playing through the story in the form of free equipment and other items, which often come from the cash shop
You even get a 2-week crystalline aura for free, the cash subscription from Lost Ark
At the end, you even receive a legendary armor piece for free. Normally, you would have to complete the Abyss Raid Argos for 2 weeks to get it

Power Pass grants you the second character afterwards

What is behind the Power Pass Event? Players who have been around longer can imagine what this is about. In this event, the game gives you a slightly modified “Punika Power Pass”. This can be used on one character and immediately raises them to gear score 1,340 and beyond the story of the continent of Punika.

To receive this pass, however, you must have completed Punika with at least one character beforehand. As a new player, you will dive into the Story Express Event, complete it, and thus trigger the Power Pass Event. This way, you have two characters at gear score 1,340 and are almost at endgame.

Hyper Express Plus gives you the ultimate boost into endgame

What is behind Hyper Express Plus? With “Hyper Express Plus,” the express events are already entering their third round, this time stronger than ever before. The Hyper Express Plus can be used on one character per account, which must have reached at least gear score 1,340.

The event picks you up exactly where the other two events have now placed you with two characters. You can seamlessly continue and receive even more gifts than before.

When you activate the event on a character, they receive valuable rewards every 15 gear score
Included are silver, legendary cards, engraving boxes, jewels, and of course numerous upgrade materials to facilitate your ascent
In the last express events, there was also a higher chance of successful upgrades. However, this has not yet been officially confirmed for Hyper Express Plus
The event helps you up to item level 1,445 and then grants you a bonus that, depending on the characters, would cost several tens of thousands of gold

What gifts are there at the end? Once you reach gear score 1,445 on the Hyper Express Plus character, you will receive not only a lot of materials and engraving instructions, but also some very nice gifts.
