CS:GO – A successful pro caster (33) apparently ruins 8 years of career with a wild night in Rio

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 2 minutes

The shooter Counterstrike: Global Offensive (Steam) is one of the biggest e-sport titles in the world. Canadian Matthew “Sadokist” Trivett (33) has been commentating CS:GO tournaments for ESL since 2014. But after a night in Rio de Janeiro, where he reportedly drank too much, that seems to be over: According to reports, Sadokist rampaged in the hotel lobby, smashed a television, and yelled at one of his bosses.

This was the situation that became publicly known:

  • The Canadian Matthew “Sadokits” Trivett was supposed to cast the IEM Rio tournament.
  • But on November 6, ESL suddenly announced that there had been an “incident involving Sadokist” the night before. As a result of the incident, Sadokist “resigned” as caster for the remainder of the tournament and would be replaced.
  • They had no further comment.

So something clearly went wrong that night in Brazil. But what exactly?

Caster got drunk, smashed television, yelled at one of his bosses

What happened there? The CS:GO site Dust2.us is now reporting on the evening of November 5, which apparently cost the caster his career. The site cites witnesses.

It is said that the caster drank heavily at a bar that night and then returned to the hotel, where ESL housed all players, coaches, and staff.

At the hotel, Sadokist got into an argument with a group of people who were filming promotional material for Twitch streamer Gaules and the Brazilian team FURIA. During the argument, the caster went from “tipsy” to “violent” and smashed a television.

Among those who witnessed the incident was an important ESL manager: Vice President Product Development, Michael “Carmac” Blicharz. He tried to calm Sadokist down. But the caster would not be contained and ultimately engaged in a shouting match with the manager until the police arrived.

The ESL manager is very enthusiastic about Brazil and the atmosphere there. However, he has not tweeted about the incident involving Sadokist.

As the site reports, ESL immediately fired Sadokist, informed the staff about Sadokist’s termination, and booked him a flight home.

There is no statement from Sadokist on this, reports the site PC Gamer. He is also silent on social media. ESL simply repeats the statement about the “incident” and does not provide further details.

One can assume that the man will not find work again anytime soon.

Who is Sadokist? Sadokist cast his first tournament in June 2014. Over the past 8 years, he has built a reputation as one of the top casters in CS:GO.

However, there was also a major controversy surrounding him in 2018. During a cast, he used a racial slur and told someone from the community to take their own life.

McDonald’s new gaming chair sounds pretty crazy – Who needs a fries holder at the PC?

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

The company McDonald’s has introduced a new gaming chair. It is a rather peculiar product and is only available in limited quantities. What the chair is supposed to offer is presented to you by MeinMMO in this article.

Meanwhile, there are plenty of gaming-related accessories available. In addition to mouse and keyboard, you can buy chairs, cushions, and other equipment.

Now McDonald’s, the well-known operator and franchisor of fast food restaurants, has introduced a new chair on Facebook (via facebook.com). The chair targets gamers and aims to offer practical features for your food in addition to comfort. You can now also watch the video of the gaming chair on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kVtYqPOD4ZQ

New Gaming Chair from McDonald’s Aims to Impress You with Food Features

The chair named “McDonald’s McCrispy Ultimate Gaming Chair” is yellow and black, reflecting the typical design of McDonald’s. It is not known with whom the franchise giant collaborated for the chair. In addition to the standard structure known from gaming chairs, there are a few special features:

  • The chair has a French fries holder and a sandwich warmer.
  • Additionally, there are recesses where you can place dips. The well-known plastic containers with ketchup or mayo from McDonald’s fit in here.

Whether gamers really need such features at their PC is another question. Hot fat only partially agrees with mouse and keyboard. And MeinMMO author Cortyn would probably be furious if one considers the possibility of handling mouse, keyboard, or controller with greasy fingers:

There are plenty of options if you want to eat at the PC that are not greasy or crumbly. MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus tried 7 gaming snacks that taste good but won’t ruin your controller for you.

Can you buy this chair? No, officially there is only one chair available in a raffle. Only people from England, Wales, and Scotland can participate. Two runner-ups will receive McCrispy neon lights (via mcdonalds.com).

The chair is not officially available in stores, so there is no price for the model. However, there are rumors that McDonald’s may have distributed a few chairs to Twitch streamers.

McDonald’s Keeps Trying with Gaming

What else is McDonald’s doing? The gaming chair is not the first idea to engage with gaming. For instance, there was a collaboration in Australia with Overwatch 2, where a code for special skins was included with certain menus.

Additionally, there are regular extensive collaborations between Pokémon and McDonald’s, and there are frequently trading cards in Happy Meals, and a few years ago McDonald’s locations transformed into PokéStops.

Just recently, another McDonald’s product gained a lot of attention. A customer had put a simple Chicken McNugget up for sale online and received almost $40,000 for it. The piece of meat looks like a character from Among Us.

Why is a Chicken McNugget being sold on eBay for $40,000?

LoL: The best player in Germany (22) is likely to leave his team – Because an old Swede wants his job back

Schuhmann Schuhmann Reading time 3 minutes

Strange things are happening around the team Fnatic in League of Legends: Allegedly, the 26-year-old Swede Martin “Rekkles” Larsson is set to return to the LoL team he played for 7 years. But what will happen to his replacement, the German bot laner Elias “Upset” Lipp (22)? He posts a sad smiley and his coach wishes him all the best for his departure.

This is the background: In November 2020, Rekkles decided to leave Fnatic after 7 years to switch teams. The club legend went to G2, nominally the only better club in Europe. He was replaced by the young German player Upset, who had to fill enormous shoes. However, Upset excelled in that role for 2 years.

But apparently, he is now being pushed out of the job by his predecessor.

In LoL, there’s a joke that “players without a team” have to work at “McDonald’s.” Players without a team are also called “McDonald’s” players.

What makes the transfer carousel spin?

  • A normally well-informed insider, LEC Wooloo, reported yesterday on 08.11.2022: Rekkles is returning to Fnatic as a bot laner (via twitter): Rekkles himself posted a tweet saying “I’m back.”
  • The current ADC of Fnatic, Elias “Upset” Lipp, then only posted a sad smiley. He has been playing for Fnatic since November 2020, but his days at the European top club seem to be numbered (via twitter).
  • As reported by Sport1, Fnatic’s coach, YamatoCannon, allegedly wrote to Upset afterwards: “I hope you find a new home. Your performance over the past few years has been world-class!” The message can no longer be found online. (via sport1)

LoL: German professional player Upset plays his 1st Worlds finally despite Covid – Gets the Penta-Kill, dominates Day 1
von Schuhmann

22-year-old world-class player leaves, 26-year-old veteran in crisis comes

Why is this so strange? The decision is strange because Upset is only 22 years old and has delivered outstanding performance with Fnatic over the past two years. Upset has already been seen by many as the best ADC in Europe with his disciplined playstyle and seemed on the brink of reaching the world elite.

He was dominant in KD/A statistics in Europe and was considered the pivot of the team. Experts identified weaknesses rather in other positions.

After an internal conflict following the 2021 Worlds, which Upset missed due to personal issues, other players left the team – but Upset stayed.

It is therefore strange that he, who was seen as the “heart of the team,” is being replaced.

On the other hand, Rekkles has had two weak years:

LoL: Worlds Anthem 2022 – STAR WALKIN’

Rekkles as a figurehead and someone who sells tickets?

Then why is Fnatic doing this? Rekkles is the “franchise player” for Fnatic – the fans love him there, and the LEC missed him as well. He is a player who has become a legend over the years. Rekkles also has a strong personality. The Swede is likely to significantly boost interest in Fnatic – especially on social media.

Perhaps the team managers think the team lacks an experienced leadership figure.

It may well be that Rekkles fulfills a judgment made by Doinb about the USA. The Chinese world champion said that Western teams rely too long on veterans because they “safely sell tickets.” Therefore, young players hardly get chances. In China, however, even the best players, as they get older, must constantly prove themselves against younger players to keep their spot in the team.

However, one must also say: The version of Fnatic with Upset didn’t make it out of the group stage at the Worlds, after 3 games the team suddenly collapsed. Upset was also disappointed by the team’s preparation for the Worlds.

Perhaps Upset is actually not that unhappy that their paths are now parting.

lol-rekkles
He is probably back.

What’s next? Everything is still unclear at the moment. There are some speculations about where Upset might ultimately land and whether the transfer may even originate from him.

The position as ADC at the EU top team G2 is actually occupied by Hans Sama, after Rekkles’ successor, the 21-year-old Spaniard Flakked, failed to lead G2 back to the top.

Maybe Upset will end up in the USA.

In any case, this is currently a strange situation that is hard to explain sports-wise: replacing a 22-year-old whom many consider the best bot laner in Europe with a 26-year-old who was actually already on his way to become a full-time streamer… Well, they must have their reasons.

At the moment, the situation – officially – is just a rumor, although transfer rumors in LoL from reputable sources have an extremely high hit rate.

On the sidelines of the Worlds, we had an exciting story about Fnatic:

WoW: Crazy Dwarf defeats current raid boss in 5 hours solo, may only use auto-attacks

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

A brave dwarf defeats the current raid boss “Rygelon” in World of Warcraft – and does so solo. This feat takes a total of 5 hours.

Raid bosses in World of Warcraft are among the most challenging content that Blizzard’s MMORPG has to offer. Usually, they are designed for groups of more than 10 characters and thus require tanks, healers, and damage dealers – but not always. The dwarf monk “Vennbrew” has demonstrated that it is possible to solo a boss as a tank if one is very, very patient.

What were the difficulties? The fight against Rygelon, the penultimate boss from the current raid “Mausoleum of the First”, has a series of mechanics that actually require the attention of multiple players. Primarily, the quasars that appear every few seconds must be killed quickly. If one of these adds reaches the boss, it deals extremely high damage that is hard to heal.

Vennbrew circumvents this problem by kiting the boss continuously and never letting the quasars come to him. Only when the boss stands still to cast does the dwarf group the quasars together and defeat them with area attacks before they can join forces with the boss.

You can see the video of the kill here: Extremely shortened, condensed to 10 minutes:

Link to the YouTube content

Why were there only auto-attacks? The reason Vennbrew can only use automatic attacks against Rygelon after the fourth “Mighty Bang” is that the fight is technically over at that point. Normally, the fourth “Mighty Bang” signifies the soft enrage. If the bang hasn’t killed everything yet, Rygelon begins to cast “Radiant Plasma” relentlessly. This causes very high group damage every few seconds and wipes out the last survivors – or so one would think.

However, the monk can survive this. In fact, Rygelon becomes untargetable during this phase, but if one perfectly times the expiration of a debuff, it remains possible to attack the boss with automatic attacks – and nothing else.

In other words: After the fourth Mighty Bang, Vennbrew has no choice but to rely on automatic attacks. After the first 6 minutes of the fight, only auto-attacks remain.

This ultimately leads to an extremely long kill time of 5 hours and 8 minutes.

More around World of Warcraft can be found here:

How is that even possible? Basically, the new talents play a significant role in allowing the monk to stay alive for so long. Without the new talent system from Dragonflight, this would be almost impossible, as many strong talents provide the Brewmaster monk with more survivability and massively increase his self-healing.

Vennbrew thus joins the ranks of remarkable achievements, as Rextroy has already accomplished.

What do you think about it? A cool and impressive achievement? Or a clear case of “monks are totally OP”?

In a new game on Steam, you build settlements against the clock – Has 96% positive reviews

Marie Friske Marie Friske Reading time 3 minutes

The city building game “Against the Storm” is still in Early Access on Steam, but is already being well received. 96% of the reviews are positive and players praise that there is always a lot to do in the game.

What kind of game is Against the Storm? It is a city-building game set in an apocalyptic setting in roguelite style. Here you can find a description of the “Roguelike” genre and the subcategory Roguelite.

The player is the so-called “Vice King.” You are a leader who has been tasked by the “Burned Queen” to build outposts.

These settlements are meant to support the last city in the world called “Smouldering City” and thus ensure the survival of the last civilization. There are also lost treasures to discover in the game.

However, you must not only keep one city in mind but build and organize an entire network of settlements.

Here you can see a trailer for Against the Storm:

Against the Storm – Changing World Trailer

Beware of storms and the impatience of the queen

What does the gameplay in Against the Storm look like? Before you start building an outpost, you first choose a caravan to determine what type of settlers should live there.

The various settlements are inhabited by different fantasy beings. Therefore, you must pay attention to their individual needs and demands. In addition to humans, there are lizards, beavers, and harpies that can dwell in your settlements.

The player must take care of resource procurement, organize the populace, and improve the Smouldering City. A total of ten tasks for the queen must be completed within the settlement missions.

While you bring civilization back to the wilderness, you must beware of dangers – such as the titular storms of the game. However, also keep an eye on the red bar. This symbolizes declining morale in the population and the impatience of your employer. If the bar is full, it means the end of your settlements.

If the settlements fail, the entire game does not automatically end. Some of the resources, upgrades, and experience from previous playthroughs will carry over when a new round begins.

If you are still unsure whether it is the right game for you, you can find a detailed review of Against the Storm by our colleagues on the GameStar website here.

More about games on Steam can be found here:

How does Against the Storm perform on Steam? The game is getting very good reception on the game platform – even in Early Access. Out of a total of 966 reviews, 96% are positive (as of November 9, 2022, via Steam).

Several players especially praise one aspect of the game: especially the early game phase in the city-building simulators is often the most exciting. Once a certain game progress is reached, the cities often seem to “run by themselves”.

In Against the Storm, you remain in a phase, so to speak, where you would always have something to do, which makes the gameplay exciting.

How much does Against the Storm currently cost on Steam? On Steam the game is available until November 15, 2022, with a 15% discount. Instead of €19.99, you currently pay €16.99.

Here you will find another top RPG with co-op, where you play a hero family – currently priced at only €7 on Steam.

Ursaluna in Pokémon GO: How strong is the new Pokémon

Franzi Korittke Franzi Korittke Reading time 3 minutes

In Pokémon GO you can secure Ursaluna on Saturday, November 12th. We at MeinMMO will show you how strong the new Pokémon will be, how to obtain it, and whether you can catch it as a Shiny.

Which Pokémon is it about? On Saturday, November 12th, the Community Day with Teddiursa will take place in Pokémon GO, which brings you not only familiar faces but also a new monster: Ursaluna.

We will explain below what kind of monster it is, how strong it will be, and how you can get it for the C-Day.

This is Ursaluna – All information about strength, location & Shiny

What kind of Pokémon is Ursaluna? Ursaluna is a Pokémon from the 8th generation of games, belonging to the types Ground and Normal. It can evolve from Teddiursa via Ursaring, which makes its debut perfectly fit for the Community Day with the little bear.

What does it look like? Visually, Ursaluna also resembles a bear, but unlike its two pre-evolutions, it moves on four legs. It has a gray-brown to dark brown fur and a strong body. It also has a yellow round spot on its forehead, which is meant to resemble a full moon.

Pokémon-GO-Ursaluna
Ursaluna (via pokemon.com)

Will there be a Shiny Ursaluna? Since Teddiursa can already be caught in its shiny form in Pokémon GO, you will most likely be able to evolve it into Shiny Ursaluna as well. You will recognize it by its reddish-brown fur.

How strong is Ursaluna?

These are its values & attacks: Which exact values and attacks Ursaluna will have are not officially known yet. Only the event charge attack “Pferdestärke” (Horsepower), which it is supposed to get during the Community Day, has already been confirmed by Niantic (via pokemongolive.com).

The Pokéminers, a group of data miners, have found some initial information in the game code.

At this point you will find external content from Reddit that complements the article.

Thus, Ursaluna can score well in attack, stamina, and defense. Accordingly, it will rely on the following values:

  • Attack: 269
  • Defense: 201
  • Stamina: 277

With these values, it is significantly better than Stalobor, which is one of the best Ground attackers in Pokémon GO.

Additionally, the Pokéminers have come across more attacks. Besides “Pferdestärke”, it will be able to learn other charge attacks. Therefore, you can presumably look forward to the following attacks:

  • Fast attack:
    • Tackle (Normal type)
    • Smash (Fighting type)
  • Charge attack:
    • Fire Blast (Fire type)
    • Thunder Strike (Electric type)
    • Aero Ace (Flying type)
    • Horsepower (Ground type)

In addition, you were able to catch Teddiursa in the past in its shadow form. By evolving this form, Ursaluna will also be able to learn the charge attacks Frustration and Return.

Will Ursaluna be strong? Based on its values, Ursaluna can definitely be convincing; however, it does not have a particularly good moveset. Other than Tackle and Horsepower, it relies only on attacks that do not correspond to its own type.

If these movesets remain the same, Ursaluna will initially be less interesting for players primarily for use in raids. Trainers had also hoped for more from the new Pokémon in the GO Battle League.

However, if Niantic improves the attacks and gives Ursaluna a strong Ground moveset, it could become one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO.

How to obtain Ursaluna

Unlike most other Pokémon in the game, Ursaluna can only be evolved during a full moon. So, during the Community Day with Teddiursa, you will have the chance to do so for the first time. From November 12, 2022, at 2:00 PM local time to November 13, 2022, at 6:00 AM local time, a full moon will be visible in the game.

To evolve Ursaluna during this time, you will need a total of 100 Teddiursa candies. If you miss this opportunity, evolving will only be possible at the next full moon.

What do you think of Ursaluna in Pokémon GO? Will you secure the monster during the Community Day? And what attacks were you hoping for from the new Pokémon? Feel free to tell us your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers about it.

Lost Ark: Developers admit that the last raid was too difficult – the next one will be even harder

Mark Sellner Mark Sellner Reading time 3 minutes

In a conversation between the 3 lead developers of Lost Ark about the 4th anniversary of the MMORPG, they discussed the tricky Legion Raids. Although these will be somewhat eased in the future, the next one will still be really difficult.

Where do the infos come from? On November 7, 2022, there was a livestream with the current 3 lead developers of Lost Ark. They succeeded the well-known Gold River in leading the MMORPG after he stepped down from his position due to health issues in the summer.

It was mainly about the 4th anniversary of Lost Ark and what is still coming to the MMORPG in the future. Of course, the Legion Raids are not to be missed. These are particularly difficult opponents for player groups of 4 to 8 people looking for a real challenge.

So far in the West, we have three of them: Valtan, Vykas, and Kakul-Saydon. Already in December, the leader of the Phantom Legion, Brelshaza, is also supposed to come to us. However, this may not please some fans very much.

Kakul-Saydon just came to us a few weeks ago:

Lost Ark shows the machinist class and creepy clowns in the September update trailer

What is the problem with Brelshaza? While some Western players have already complained that Vykas is way too hard, some of the veterans from Korea mocked on reddit and said we should wait for Brelshaza.

This tough raid boss received harsh criticism even in Korea and Russia. While the previous Legion and Abyss Raids are split into 2 or 3 phases, Brelshaza has 6 of them.

They are also so difficult that even experienced groups continue to have difficulties. Team members must play perfectly together, and even the smallest mistakes are harshly punished and can ruin the entire run.

Brelshaza requires not only absolutely flawless gameplay from each raid participant but also seamless teamwork and mastering tricky coop elements. And that within a scope that is too much even for the hardcore veterans.

You can see a complete run of the raid here:

In Korea, Brelshaza is, by the way, called Abrelshud

Developers see the problem, next raid will still be harder

How does Smilegate respond to the criticism? Compared to the last Legion Raid Brelshaza, the current raid, Akkan, appears to be significantly eased. This was also planned by the developers from the beginning. Akkan places less emphasis on the teamwork of the raiders and instead focuses more on the skills of the individuals, and it also forgives more mistakes.

This is a direction that is well received by the community and should be maintained, but only with the one after next raid. The next Legion Commander to defeat is Thaemine and he will also represent the next raid.

As the planning and design of his fight are already nearly completed, he is not expected to be revised or eased any further. The developers are speaking of a “very high difficulty” of the upcoming Legion Raid.

More about Lost Ark on MeinMMO:

In addition, new ways to farm upgrade materials are expected to come into the game soon. Many fans felt this was too slow, making raiding less rewarding. However, Smilegate emphasizes that there will not be a “Tier 4” for now, but only new ways to collect materials.

What do you think about this? Are you looking forward to the new raids or do you already find the current ones too hard? Feel free to let us know in the comments, here at MeinMMO.

Someone stole bitcoins worth 3,400,000,000 US dollars in 2021 – police find the money in a popcorn can

Benedikt Schlotmann Benedikt Schlotmann Reading time 2 minutes

In 2012, more than 50,000 Bitcoin were stolen. Last year, the police were able to recover this amount. In 2021, the sum was still worth 3.4 billion US dollars. However, the locations where the cryptocurrency has reappeared are quite strange.

After 10 years, a huge amount of cryptocurrency has reappeared. It had disappeared without a trace in 2012, and the authorities had been frantically searching for the money. Meanwhile, the money has resurfaced in a particularly strange place.

Speculators lose 40 billion euros due to cryptocurrency – Now the inventor is being sought with an arrest warrant
von Benedikt Schlotmann

Stolen money was hidden all over the house

How much money is involved? In total, it concerns 50,676 Bitcoin. When the theft began, the value of the Bitcoin was between 10 and 12 euros. The police confiscated the Bitcoins back in 2021, when the value of all found Bitcoins reached its peak at 3.4 billion US dollars.

But only now has the police operation become known. According to US authorities, this was the second-largest seizure in history (via bbc.com). At the current time (as of 9.11.2022), the value of Bitcoin is around 1 billion US dollars.

Where was the money discovered? James Zhong began stealing cryptocurrencies in 2012. He exploited a vulnerability of the darknet site “Silk Road” to steal Bitcoin on a large scale. “Silk Road” was known as a marketplace for illegal activities such as drugs or malware that is spread via Nvidia drivers. The site has since been taken offline.

The stolen funds were found on various devices that were spread throughout the house. The Bitcoins were also hidden in a popcorn can and in a safe concealed in the ground.

Meanwhile, Zhong has pleaded guilty in the USA; he faces up to 20 years in prison for the fraud.

Today, the stolen money is only worth one-third of what it was in 2021

Why is the money not worth as much anymore? Besides the 600,000 US dollars found in cash, the rest consists of Bitcoin. However, the digital currency has a highly volatile exchange rate and is significantly less valuable today than it was a year ago.

The 3.4 billion US dollars from 2021 are now only worth about 1 billion US dollars. That’s still a lot of money.

The highly volatile exchange rate also affects companies that trade in these cryptocurrencies. It has even gone so far that former crypto miners flood the market with cheap graphics card offers to at least partially cover their losses.

One bank has been hit so hard that it even had to close – plunging thousands of customers into despair:

CoD MW2: Weapon Tuning Guide – How you can customize your attachments

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 3 minutes

In Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, you can not only customize your weapons thanks to Gunsmith 2.0 but also your attachments. We show you how to tune them, which types of attachments can be tuned, and why you should do it.

Weapon Tuning – What is it? In Call of Duty, you can customize your weapons as usual in the Gunsmith according to your preferences. However, Infinity Ward has taken it a step further for Modern Warfare 2 and expanded the Gunsmith even more.

You can now not only customize your weapon and improve it with desired attachments, but also adjust your attachments through tuning.

This gives you better options to get to your desired weapon. However, the system behind it is somewhat opaque at first. Therefore, we will show you how to tune your attachments and why you should do it.

In line with this, we have embedded the new Gunsmith trailer for MW2:

Start video
CoD Modern Warfare 2: Gunsmith Trailer

CoD MW2: Attachment Tuning – Here’s How

Important information about Weapon Tuning: To gain the ability to tune your attachments, you first need to level up your weapon to its maximum level. For the M4, that would be level 20. Once you have reached the maximum level, a new window opens in the Gunsmith when you target an attachment.

CoD-MW2-Waffentuning-Start
Here we highlight the level as well as the menu item “Tune”

As an example, we now take the M4’s Corio Precio factory stock. If we want to tune this, we can operate two levers, which, depending on their adjustment, will affect our values positively or negatively.

CoD-MW2-Waffentuning-Ohne
Weapon tuning without adjustment of the slider
CoD-MW2-Waffentuning-Mit
Weapon tuning with adjustment of the slider
In our comparison image, you can see a change in the grid when adjusting the sliders

If we want more precision now, we slide the lower lever to the right, but we also incur a penalty on our mobility. Therefore, the Gunsmith is a double-edged sword.

Every improvement must be compensated by a deterioration, so you can’t run around with overpowered weapons. So think carefully about how you adjust your attachments. With the right compromises, strong weapons can be built quickly in Gunsmith 2.0.

Which types of attachments can be tuned? We sat down in the Gunsmith and found out which types of attachments can really be tuned and came to the following conclusion:

  • Grip
  • Stock
  • Scope
  • Barrel
  • Muzzle
  • Underbarrel
  • Ammunition

The only components that cannot be tuned are:

  • Laser
  • Magazine

However, keep in mind that not every attachment in the listed categories can be tuned. For example, there is the “Demo D50 buffer tube” for the M4. This cannot be tuned.

You can find more about CoD MW2 here:

Why should I tune my attachments? In the history of CoD, players were previously only allowed to use their attachments and tune their weapons through these bonuses. Now, Infinity Ward has given you more freedom to get even closer to your desired weapon.

The system may overwhelm a player, as one often does not know which attachment is good and whether other attachments might be better through tuning. However, once you take the time to understand it, the system becomes clearer, and you will understand which attachments would best fit which weapon.

So take some time, try out many options, and test them on the shooting range or in a private match. With the right combination, you will noticeably feel the differences on the battlefield.

WoW increases your health by 40% at level 70 – making it harder for healers

Cortyn Cortyn Reading time 2 minutes

World of Warcraft will nerf all its healers at the same time. The developers do this through a trick: They simply massively increase the players’ health.

The latest expansion of World of Warcraft, Dragonflight, is about to be released. Currently, the endgame is still being tested on the beta server, and some issues have emerged. To fix these in the short term, Blizzard is taking a radical step: At level 70, all players receive an additional 40% stamina, but enemies also deal 40% more damage.

What is the problem? In short: the healers. They are already very strong in the (still) current content of Shadowlands, but the problem becomes even more pronounced at level 70. This is because there are 10 more talent points available, leading to a massive increase in the performance of healing characters.

In other words: The endgame content is currently simply not challenging for healers, as there are virtually no decisions to be made. Healers can heal all characters far too quickly and only rarely need to manage their resources (like mana).

WoW Red Cross First Aid night elf healing mage title 1140x445
Healers should have a bit more difficulty.

What Blizzard wants to change: Once you reach level 70 in Dragonflight, you should feel a sudden increase in your health points, but you will also notice that enemies hit harder now. Because your stamina increases by a whopping 40% with the jump to level 70, while all enemies in the world also deal 40% more damage. What sounds like a zero-sum game on paper has significant effects for healers, who now have to deal with larger HP pools of their teammates.

More about World of Warcraft can be found here:

Why is Blizzard doing this? The developers want to make the gameplay exciting for all roles – including healers. Currently, this is hardly the case in the beta of Dragonflight in the endgame. The reason for this was that healers could too easily “top” their group members, meaning they could fully heal them.

One possible solution could have been to increase the damage from mobs so much that “one-hits” are again a threat – however, that is not very fun. When split seconds determine whether the tank and then the entire group is wiped, it rarely leads to meaningful decisions.

The larger health pools mean that healers must use more mana to fully heal the group. At the same time, there is more room for abilities that deal a lot of damage without instantly killing a character.

Blizzard is aware that this will also have a significant impact on PvP battles and wants to balance this separately to avoid problems.

What do you think of this solution? A good step to challenge healers accordingly? Or should another way have been found?

FIFA 23: Title Update 3 is live after server downtime – Steal your stamina, bring the World Cup

Max Handwerk Max Handwerk Reading time 3 minutes

In FIFA 23 today, maintenance was performed on the servers. Additionally, Title Update 3 was released – we will show you the contents here.

Update, 11:00 AM – When is Title Update 3 coming? Via Twitter, EA has now explained that Title Update 3 is available as of November 9. It can be downloaded on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.

A “Live Tuning” update is also being released. We will show you what’s in the updates here.

What’s included in Title Update 3 for FIFA 23? What the patch notes say

What’s in Title Update 3: According to the patch notes, the following contents are included in the update.

  • The “FIFA World Cup Experience” is being added. You can find an overview of the World Cup update in FIFA 23 here.
  • The previously existing Brazil team will be removed from kick-off, tournament mode, friendly matches, and online seasons. It will be replaced by a Brazil team with World Cup players that can be used in the World Cup mode.
  • New commentator phrases and celebrations have been added.

Additionally, a bug has been fixed where the “Training Center” did not consider modified controller settings. Moreover, stability issues have been corrected – which exact issues, however, EA did not disclose.

There is also a live tuning update for FIFA 23.

Live Tuning Update 3 brings gameplay changes – Patch Notes

What’s included in the Live Tuning Update? Live Tuning Updates are “smaller” updates that FIFA 23 can receive in between. The new Update 3 was directly included with Title Update.

It includes three changes:

  • The stamina consumption has been increased by up to 41% when using the defensive tactics Constant Pressure, Pressure after Mistakes, or Pressing after Losing the Ball.
  • Reduced ball speed on corners with full power.
  • The accuracy of corners kicked with full power has been decreased.

This significantly increases the stamina consumption in the popular pressing tactics. It is possible that your players will tire significantly faster, making the tactics less effective.

Additionally, you may need to adjust your shooting technique for strongly struck corners.

Update: This article was updated at 11:00 AM with current information about the updates. Below you will find information about the server downtime from this morning.

Information about server downtime in FIFA 23 on November 9

When do the server maintenance start? The official “Direct Communication” channel for FIFA 23 on Twitter stated that server maintenance will be conducted on November 9 starting at 08:00 AM. “Match Creation” will already be disabled 30 minutes beforehand.

From 07:30 you could no longer start new online matches. At 08:00 AM, your connection should then be terminated and you could not access the online contents of FIFA anymore.

The downtime affects FIFA 23 on all platforms. However, it is possible that the Web App and the Companion App continue to function.

When are the servers back online? According to “Direct Communication,” the maintenance is scheduled until 10:00 AM. Online features should be available again then.

EA Sports did not directly state a reason for the maintenance. However, it is conceivable that the server downtime is related to the new Title Update 3.

In FUT, there was recently a significant market crash that made many top players cheaper. You can find out more about the market crash in FIFA 23 here.

Pokémon GO: Trainer uses 70 Charge TMs on a single Pokémon to test wild theory

Franzi Korittke Franzi Korittke Reading time 4 minutes

In Pokémon GO, trainers have made a strange discovery about the charge moves of Palimpalim and express a wild theory. One player is now trying to verify this using charge TMs. We at MeinMMO show you what it’s all about.

What moves are involved? When you catch a Pokémon in Pokémon GO, it already has a random fast and charge move assigned. However, these are not always optimal for use in raids or GO Battle League, which is why you have the possibility to change the moves of individual Pokémon using appropriate TMs.

Thus, you can customize the move combinations according to your preferences. Each Pokémon has a certain selection of moves from which you can choose. This also applies to the psychic Pokémon Palimpalim, which can learn the charge moves Energy Ball, Shadow Ball, and Psycho Shock.

However, a strange discovery has now been made with this Pokémon, leading to a wild theory within the community. What that theory is and how a trainer plans to verify it are summarized for you below.

Trainers make a strange discovery with Palimpalim

What discovery was made? As reddit user Willsgb shows in his reddit post, he has noticed irregularities in the selection of charge moves for Palimpalim. He wanted to change Palimpalim’s move using a Premium Charge TM.

Unlike using a normal Charge TM, where the selection occurs randomly, you can directly choose the move with a Premium Charge TM. Willsgb did this and found that Palimpalim’s charge move Psycho Shock was listed twice. For this reason, he asked on reddit: “Why does a charge move appear twice in the list of possible charge moves?”

Link to the Reddit content

What do the trainers suspect? While some trainers in the comments complain about poor game coding and immediately think of a bug, other players suspect that the double listing is related to a weighting when using the standard Charge TMs.

They could imagine that Psycho Shock is chosen more frequently by the system than either of the other two moves. However, there is no official confirmation on this yet.

By the way: Starting November 14, 2022, you can use a Charge TM to unlearn frustration with Crypto Pokémon again. Which Pokémon are particularly suitable for this can be read in the following post:

Trainer starts study with 70 Charge TMs

Reddit user tkaish is convinced that the double listing of the charge move for Palimpalim must be related to some kind of weighting and wants to prove this through a study of his own (via reddit.com).

What kind of study is he conducting? As tkaish explains in his reddit post, he has initiated a self-test using Charge TMs. So far, he has already used 70 Charge TMs to randomly change the charge move of Palimpalim. Each random selection is documented by him, so that he can finally determine how often the move Psycho Shock was chosen by the system. He writes:

After the recent post by u/Willsgb about the double appearance of Psycho Shock in Palimpalim’s Premium TM menu, a discussion arose about whether this means that Psycho Shock receives additional weight in random selection (with a normal TM). There was no immediate answer, so I conducted a test.

The test subject was a shiny female Palimpalim, level 3. 70 Charge TMs were applied to the Palimpalim, and the results were recorded in sequence. Palimpalim has three possible charge moves: Psycho Shock (PS), Energy Ball (EB), and Shadow Ball (SB).

A Charge TM does not change the move Psycho Shock into Psycho Shock, so I was especially interested in what happens when the existing move is either Energy Ball or Shadow Ball. If Psycho Shock had double weight due to the double listing, one would expect a TM of EB or SB to switch to PS about 2/3 of the time and about 1/3 of the time to the other “Ball” move. If there is no additional weighting, a TM of EB or SB should switch to PS about 1/2 of the time and about 1/2 of the time to the other “Ball” move.

tkaish via reddit.com

What are his results? At the end of his reddit post, he also discusses his previous results from this investigation. Thus, there were 45 attempts where the charge move was either Energy Ball or Shadow Ball and should be switched.

In 54% of the cases, he received the charge move Psycho Shock in the random selection. In the remaining 46%, the move switched to the other “Ball” move instead. This suggests that there is no higher weighting in the selection.

In my study with 70 Charge TMs, there were 46 cases where the existing move was EB or SB. 25 of these cases (54%) switched to PS. The other 21 (46%) switched from EB to SB or vice versa. This suggests that Psycho Shock is probably not weighted twice in the random selection, even though it appears twice in the selection list. But more data is always better! If you want to throw a bunch of TMs at a Palimpalim and report the order of moves you receive, please do so here. I will post my specific data below as a comment.

tkaish via reddit.com

Since 70 Charge TMs are not enough for a meaningful result, he asks other trainers to do the same and post their results in the comments.

A first look at the comments, however, shows that other players also arrive at similar results. For example, user Mason11987 received Psycho Shock 19 times out of a total of 32 attempts (via reddit.com). It can therefore be assumed that there is no special weighting for moves that are doubly set in the game’s code of a Pokémon.

More about Pokémon GO:

What do you think of the study by reddit user tkaish? Did you hope there would be a double weighting for these moves? Or do you even want to participate in the research yourself? Please share your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange thoughts with other trainers.

A new event has started today in Pokémon GO. We show you all the contents of the limited research on “Greedy Santa”.

CoD MW2: Disable Crossplay – Here’s how to turn off the option on PS5 and Xbox

Christos Tsogos Christos Tsogos Reading time 3 minutes

MeinMMO shows you in the guide how to disable Crossplay in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 – on PlayStation and Xbox. The option cannot be turned off on PC.

How do I disable Crossplay in MW2 on PC? This is not possible.

How do I disable Crossplay in MW2 on PS5? To disable Crossplay on PS5, you need to follow these instructions.

  • Go to your in-game settings and select the “Account & Network” section.
    • It doesn’t matter what mode you are logged into; the menu layout is the same across all modes.
  • A new window will open. In this window, the first setting option is labeled as “Crossplay”.
CoD-MW2-Crossplay-Menu-1
First, go to the settings under “Account & Network”
CoD-MW2-Crossplay-Menu-2
Immediately, the menu item “Crossplay” appears
A visual representation of how to enable or disable Crossplay

Now you can choose whether this should be enabled. For us, this menu item was already disabled beforehand. If you want to play with friends outside your platform, you need to enable this menu item.

If you also want to communicate with players on other platforms during Crossplay, you need to enable “Crossplay Communication” additionally. This is located one point below.

How do I disable Crossplay in MW2 on Xbox? While you could also disable the Crossplay feature on Xbox during the beta of MW2, it looks different at release.

On Xbox, the Crossplay menu item is missing, but we will show you how to disable Crossplay anyway.

Proceed as follows:

  • Go to your console settings
  • Then tap on “Online Safety and Family”
  • Then tap on “Privacy and Online Safety”
  • Now tap on “Xbox Live Privacy”
  • Now choose “View Details and Customizations”
  • Next comes the menu item “Communication and Multiplayer”
  • There is now a field where you can decide if you can play with players outside of Xbox Live
  • If you want to disable Crossplay, change this option to “Block”
  • To ensure your setting takes effect in your game, you should restart all open titles

The menus of the Xbox One and Xbox Series are slightly different. However, on both consoles, you can disable Crossplay in your privacy settings.

However, there are reports that you cannot play the larger modes Invasion and Ground War if you disable Crossplay on Xbox.

Below we explain to you what problems Crossplay might bring.

Everything important about Crossplay in CoD: MW2

What problems does Crossplay bring? If you use this setting, players from all supported platforms are thrown into a player search. So it could be that you have to compete against players on PC while playing on Xbox or PS5, or vice versa.

Console players enjoy a significant advantage with their controllers, as they are inherently given an aim assist. PC players do not have this advantage, but they are quicker in movement and aim detection with mouse and keyboard.

It is also easier to hack or use cheats on PC. So you might encounter hackers more frequently.

However, if these things don’t bother you, you can enable the settings.

What are the benefits of Crossplay? The biggest advantage of Crossplay is playing with other platforms. You don’t have to wait long in a player search until a match can start in multiplayer. Because of this, the server can access more players and fill your lobbies faster with people from around the world.

Learn more about CoD MW2 here:

As mentioned earlier, this also means you can be matched with friends who are on different platforms. It’s a cool system that is supportive, but it can also lead to problems.

This was everything important you should know about turning off Crossplay. What do you think about MW2 offering such a feature? Will you enable Crossplay? We would love to hear your opinion in the comments!
