Endless grind of the same factions – this has come to an end in WoW Dragonflight. Transmog fans can breathe a sigh of relief, as unlocking will be easier.
For some, it is just unnecessary decoration, for others, perhaps the best and most important feature of World of Warcraft: Transmogrification. The ability to visually customize your equipment the way you want and create unique sets is quite popular. Some even try to obtain all templates in the game.
What is the problem? Those who really want to collect all transmog sets must invest an incredible amount of time in World of Warcraft. This is not only because many sets and items depend mainly on luck from drops in raids, but also because a lot of content needs to be played multiple times. Particularly the reputation factions are a major nuisance. For example, someone who painstakingly grinds reputation with a mage can only buy the cloth set from the armor vendor and unlock it as transmog afterwards. At least until now.
What changes in Dragonflight? Reputation vendors in Dragonflight again offer stylish transmog, including some so-called “ensembles”. These are essentially entire armor sets that you unlock via a single item, just like the old PvP sets.
The twist is: In Dragonflight, even as a mage, you can unlock the ensembles for other armor types like leather, chain, or plate at reputation vendors and add them to your collection! This was discovered by MrGM in the beta and shared on Twitter:

Can you transmog them? No. Although you can unlock sets for other armor classes at the reputation vendor of the new factions as a cloth wearer, you can only use these as templates with classes that can wear that armor type. The fundamental restriction that cloth classes can only choose cloth for transmog remains unchanged.
However, this should significantly reduce the grind. Because now at reputation factions, you only need to grind reputation with one character to unlock most templates. Gone are the days when you had to complete the same dailies with four characters just to complete your transmog collection.
More about World of Warcraft Dragonflight can be found here:
Whether Blizzard will also retroactively unlock this feature for old factions and ensembles is still unclear – at least this is not the case in the beta.
Blizzard seems to want to stick to its promise that less grind and fewer repetitive tasks across multiple characters are necessary.

In Pokémon GO is the Timed Research active during the Fashion Week event. We show you in the overview all tasks and rewards of the six chapters.
What kind of research is this? In Pokémon GO, the Fashion Week 2022 brings many new costumed Pokémon and also new Shinys into the game. In the Timed Research, you will receive a few encounters with Pokémon, but also battles against Fashion Challengers.
The new research has six chapters with various tasks.
Tip: Three task blocks reward you with an encounter with a Fashion Challenger. Each next task is to battle a Fashion Challenger. These tasks build on each other; you do not have to search for challengers at PokéStops. The encounter with a challenger then triggers the next task for you.

How do you like the Timed Research for this event? Do you think that through the encounters with the challengers, Niantic has effectively solved the problems that existed at past events? Trainers often complained that challengers appeared too rarely, making it difficult to complete tasks.

FIFA 23: Web App and Companion App
When will the Web App be released? The Web App is expected to launch on September 21, 2022. This was stated by community manager “EA_rephii” in the FIFA forum at EA Sports.
When will the Companion App be released? The Companion App launches a day later, on September 22, 2022.
This is known about Crossplay: Along with the trailer, several pieces of information about the game’s content have been released. Particularly important: Crossplay will officially be part of FIFA 23 in the 1-vs-1 modes. You can play against your friends across multiple platforms.
There are two groups involved: The “NextGen” variants can play together, meaning PS5, Xbox Series X | S, PC, and Stadia.
Additionally, PS4 and Xbox One can play against each other. This is due to the fact that the versions differ too much across generations, especially with HyperMotion.
A detailed overview of the new content can be found here:
This is the trailer: On July 20, the first trailer for FIFA 23 was released. Various gameplay scenes can be seen, along with individual gameplay snippets.

In Ultimate Team, there will be so-called “World Cup Heroes”.
FIFA 23 pre-order: What does the game cost?
How much does FIFA 23 cost? The cost of FIFA 23 depends on the edition and the platform you want to buy. All official prices can be found here:
Due to the Xbox leak from August, several ratings for FIFA 23 were already known. Among other things, users showed how strong the best players in the game will be. Cristiano Ronaldo is still among them – but the Manchester forward is getting a significant downgrade.
What are FIFA 23 talents? The FIFA 23 talents are exciting players who will bring great potential to Career Mode. However, there is currently no up-to-date overview of the officially best talents in the game.
These leagues and clubs are included: FIFA 23 is expected to feature over 30 leagues, which include more than 19,000 players, over 700 teams, and numerous other licenses.
Among other things, 3 new leagues will be available in FIFA 23:
These are heroes in FIFA 23: The hero cards were already in FIFA 22, and now the series is being expanded. This time, players like Rudi Völler are involved, who will come with strong stats and chemistry bonuses.

More features
More game modes

Ultimate Team – Changes in FIFA 23
The Ultimate Team mode is getting some adjustments, such as with chemistry, but also with small changes like position swaps.
Instead of the previously known position swap cards, there will only be one available that offers different possibilities depending on the player. This will allow players to switch to individual secondary positions – making FUT a bit more realistic.
The positional play may change in FIFA 23
Furthermore, there will be a new mode called “FUT Moments” that presents you with small challenges, through which you can earn quick rewards.
Shouldn’t it be called something else? No: It has been known for a while that FIFA 23 will be released – and this name will remain. The separation of EA Sports and FIFA will only occur in 2023.
There will be no “FIFA 24” from EA Sports anymore, but instead the new “EA Sports FC”. The world federation “FIFA” intends to create its own games with other developers.
In the beta of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, players could get their first impression of the shooter’s weapons. But which one was the best?
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is one of the most sought-after shooters of the year, and many fans of the series are eagerly awaiting the release in October. A new feature on Steam even reveals that Modern Warfare 2 was the best-selling title on the gaming platform last week.
Players who got their first glimpses of the game and its various gameplay aspects during the beta have, of course, already formed their opinions about various things. One weapon has already emerged as the best of the beta.
Which weapon is the best? If you ask around on YouTube or social networks about the best or most popular weapons of the beta, one name will surely come up several times: the Lachmann-MP.
We’re embedding a video here from former CoD pro and YouTuber BennyCentral, who showcases his ranking of the MW 2 beta weapons. The Lachmann-MP is in first place.
Recommended editorial content

Read more about our privacy policy.
What makes the Lachmann-MP so strong? The Lachmann-MP is a submachine gun that players like to call MP5 due to its appearance and playstyle. The Lachmann-MP features typical characteristics of a submachine gun and has a low ADS time (it aims down sights quickly) and a relatively high rate of fire.
Additionally, the Lachmann-MP has nearly negligible recoil, allowing it to score a few kills even at medium range. Generally, it is not necessary to use attachments to reduce recoil with the submachine gun. Instead, you can use attachments that, for example, increase your movement speed or further decrease your ADS time.
Let’s summarize the advantages of the Lachmann-MP during the beta:
good mobility
low recoil
short ADS time
relatively high rate of fire

Are there other strong weapons? The Lachmann-MP is primarily strongest for gunfights at relatively short to medium range. Depending on how aggressively you play or what distances you want to engage in battles, other weapons might be more suitable.
The M4 assault rifle has proven to be a very versatile all-rounder, which you can use for both short and slightly longer distances, depending on the setup.
Another strong weapon that could become even stronger after the beta is the DMR “Lockwood MK2”. With the Lockwood, you can achieve 1-shot kills at greater distances if you shoot your opponents in the chest or head. Since it also has a relatively low ADS time, this is additionally possible at short to medium range. This distinguishes the rifle from the sniper rifle Signal-50, which can also achieve 1-shot kills but takes significantly longer to aim down sights.
The Lockwood MK2 and the Signal-50 could not yet be adjusted at the gunsmith during the beta, which is why they could be even stronger at the official release. If you wanted to play the Lockwood with a zoom level, you could access one of the pre-made classes and enjoy the raw firepower of the rifle.

Tips for leveling quickly in WoW WotLK Classic we show you here. On the new continent of Northrend, you can level up to level 80.
What are these tips? We have put together some tips that will help you during the release of WotLK Classic and beyond when playing secondary characters.
In doing so, we will reveal tricks that allow you to level faster and provide you with hints on what to keep in mind if you want to accomplish even more on your way to the new max level. You will also find here the advantages of different leveling methods.
Note that the most efficient leveling method for most players usually consists of a combination of all our tips. Switch between activities and combine them for maximum yield.
Note: If your server is too full, leveling may take longer because too many people want to complete the same quests. Blizzard offers free server transfers at release and for 25 € you can also purchase transfers to get to less populated realms.

1. Switch areas late
In Northrend, different leveling areas are available to you, but you can only quest there at a higher level. However, it is worth not switching as soon as you can, but at least finishing the quest hub in the old area you are currently in.
If you are one or two levels above the level intended for the area, you can defeat enemies significantly faster. Quests become easier for you and you can even complete group quests easily alone.
Even if the quests may grant slightly less experience points, you will make up for it through the higher speed. With your lead, the next area you want to switch to will also feel easier, and you won’t struggle too long against stronger enemies.
you want to collect materials while leveling and maximize professions directly to level 80
Tip: If you want to make some gold while leveling, a short grinding session can also be worthwhile. This means you repeatedly kill enemies that drop certain items. Check your auction house for items that can currently earn gold.
While leveling, you can also admire the first in-game cinematic that WoW ever had:
For dungeons, you usually need a group of 5 players that you need to form first. This can be well combined with regular questing: use the LFG tool, which replaces the dungeon finder, to look for a group while leveling.
You still need to travel to the dungeon, but you will receive a huge chunk of experience there. Additionally, the loot from the dungeon significantly improves your equipment. This makes future runs and quests much easier for you.
Dungeons are best for leveling when:
you have a fixed group of 5 players that you can coordinate with
you have quests for dungeons that you want to complete
you need equipment and want to continuously improve
3. Buy large bags
What may sound trivial can help you immensely while leveling: larger bags ensure that you have to visit the vendor less often or are generally not overloaded as often. If a quest item no longer fits in your bags, you will have to sort first.
This only costs a few seconds, but if it happens frequently, the time can add up quickly. Sufficient bag space and a good overview are therefore important.
With WotLK, there are new bags with more spaces. You can often get these cheaply because tailors increase their skill with them. As a rule of thumb: take the smaller, current bags, as they generally have the best cost/benefit ratio.
Plenty of bag space is important for leveling. The Bagnon addon helps you organize.
4. Use elixirs, buff food, and more
If you are fresh out of Burning Crusade, you may still have double-warpers, crispy serpents, or spicy river crabs in your inventory, along with a few elixirs from the last raid. Healing and mana potions or even drums from leatherworkers can also make your journey significantly easier.
With level 80, however, you will already receive significantly better consumables and will not use the old ones anymore. So consume everything you have on your way to max level.
The buffs may seem weak, but with their duration and the combination of different effects, you can save considerable time, such as pulling one more mob and surviving or dealing more damage.
If you have some gold left, you can also scour the auction house to see if you can find some bargains. Often, players try to sell their stock at high prices towards the end of an expansion and at the start of a new one. So don’t spend too much gold on “old stuff”.
Consumables like spell threads, armor sets, or consumables like battle drums are also not worth hoarding. Use them when you can and make your leveling phase easier. Every buff helps, especially in dungeons.
Important: Buy glyphs! These significantly improve your character and have been available since the WotLK pre-patch. Some of the best glyphs, however, may only be learned by scribes now, so keep an eye on the auction house.
This tip may seem obvious to many, but can save you valuable minutes. If you still have your hearthstone set in Shattrath, change it as soon as possible. There are two optimal uses:
Dalaran as the new capital with portals to all cities for flexibility
The inn of your current quest hub, to save yourself the return trip
The first option is especially useful for players who want to list all their items in the auction house and do not have a bank character. The second option is aimed at fans of power-leveling, who do not want to waste a second.
In any case: Use your hearthstone. Keeping it “just in case” usually results in wasting the cooldown and spending several minutes traveling on foot instead.
Bonus: Use heirlooms as soon as they are available
With WotLK, heirlooms were introduced in World of Warcraft at the time. These are account-bound items that level up with you as you progress. In their old version, they still increase the experience you earn from kills and quests.
The limit for heirlooms is level 70. Beyond that, their use is only limited. If you want to play a second character, however, they are the ideal replacement for the “Skyward Journeys” buff, which is now gone.
A detailed guide to heirlooms will be available soon here on MeinMMO.
All information about Wrath of the Lich King can be found in our overview:
How to enter the Wrath of the Lich King Classic and the Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord? We will show you which path you need to take in WoW Classic.
Finally, the time has come. On the night of September 26 to September 27, the gates of Wrath of the Lich King Classic will open and hundreds of thousands of players will stream back to Northrend to complete their quests. However, many players are under the misconception that Horde and Alliance have fixed starting points where they must begin their journey.
This is not the case. You can choose from two starting areas, and this applies to both factions. We will tell you how to reach the “Borean Tundra” or the “Howling Fjord” as a Horde or Alliance player.
Is there a starting quest for Northrend? No. Just travel to your chosen starting area (as described below). You will then receive your first missions at the respective camp in Northrend and can start directly from there.
How to get to Northrend as a Horde player
Two starting areas are available with different quests. In the Borean Tundra, you will experience the first part of the Nexus War with the blue dragonflight, as well as conflicts with strange robotic gnomes and Nerubians. In the Howling Fjord, the Forsaken are trying to reclaim land from the Vrykul.
How to get to the Borean Tundra as Horde
The path to the Borean Tundra is seen by many Horde players as the “standard route.” This is mainly because the connection to the Tundra takes place directly through the capital of the Horde, Orgrimmar.
If you want to start your journey in the Borean Tundra, you need to ascend the zeppelin tower southwest of Orgrimmar and wait for the zeppelin there. If you start your journey here, you will arrive directly in the Borean Tundra at the orc outpost “Warsong Hold”.
How to get to the Howling Fjord as Horde
To reach the Howling Fjord as a Horde player, you must first travel to Undercity. Leave the city and head north to the zeppelin tower. Ascend the tower and wait for the zeppelin on the western side of the tower. This zeppelin will take you directly to the Howling Fjord to the first outpost of the Forsaken, the “Harbor of Retribution.”
A trailer sets the mood for Northrend:
Start video
WotLK Classic: Impressive trailer shows how Azeroth prepares for the Lich King
How to get to Northrend as an Alliance player
Just like the Horde, there are two starting areas to choose from. In the Borean Tundra, the focus at the start is on attacks from the Nerubians, but the Naga are also involved. In the Howling Fjord, however, you will deal with Vrykul and their “ascendance” into undeath.
How to reach the Borean Tundra as Alliance
Similar to the Horde, many Alliance players see the start in the Borean Tundra as the “standard route” to kick off in Northrend. If you want to start your journey in the Borean Tundra, you need to visit the harbor of Stormwind. Look for the dock in the northeast, as that is where the correct ship will be.
If you travel to the Borean Tundra this way, the ship will drop you off directly at the outpost “Valiance Keep,” from where you will receive quests immediately.
How to reach the Howling Fjord as Alliance
To advance into the Howling Fjord as an Alliance warrior, you need to choose a somewhat less intuitive route. Travel to the Wetlands (north of Ironforge) and visit the harbor of Menethil.
A new ship docks here at the northernmost pier every few minutes and takes all interested parties directly to Northrend. You will then land in “Valgarde” and can start your journey to level 80 from there.
Does it matter where you start? Basically yes. Blizzard originally introduced two starting areas to prevent too many players from crowding in the same area. While this is not necessarily a problem with today’s technology, you still have a bit of choice. You can choose the start in Northrend based on your personal preferences.
Have fun in WotLK Classic – but let us know in the comments where you will be taking your first character to level 80.

Blizzard recently presented the community of Diablo 2: Resurrected with a new riddle, which is actually over 12 months old. The fans seem to have found a solution, but it only hides more secrets…
We flipped through the old manual of Diablo II and found this confusing entry… What could it mean?
A bunch of fans immediately set out to decode the riddle in a massive community effort. They quickly realized that the text visible in the image refers to the famous “Chat Gem” that adorns the lobbies in Diablo 2.
This is the solution: The various numbers submitted by countless fans combined result in the story of the different Diablo parts and more. In “Visions,” an individual recounts how the world of Diablo was created and what happened next.
The storylines of Diablo 1, Diablo 2, and Diablo 3 are retold. Even the story of Diablo Immortal is supposed to be included, even though it hadn’t even been released at the time the riddle was introduced in 2021.
Some additional “Visions” tell stories that no one is quite sure what they mean. There may already be a hint about the story of the upcoming Diablo 4. YouTuber Ginger Gaming Mentor summarized the process and the results:

However, it is exciting that within the seemingly simple decryption, further messages are hidden. Even though the riddle was solved quickly, many fans now assume that there is more behind it.
“Blizzard owns the wisdom”
This is what the fans have now found: At least two new messages have appeared after decrypting the code. The first is quite obvious. If you line up the initial letters of the visions, you get the sentence: “The Gem Is Allseeing”.
What exactly this refers to is still unclear. However, there is another hidden message. Some of the codes that the Chat Gem outputs seem to be incorrect. Ginger Gaming Mentor has taken the trouble to find a meaning there as well:

In his video, he explains that the “errors” did not occur accidentally, but result in a new message. If you put them together in the correct order, they supposedly spell out the sentence: “Blizzard Own The Wisdom.”
What does that mean? Ginger Gaming Mentor assumes that this is simply a little self-aggrandizement in which Blizzard clarifies that they distribute the lore. He also believes, like many others, that there is more behind it.
More messages could be hidden in the decoded text, and there is a number that has not yet been solved. Fans suspect that the word “fate” is missing so far, but the fact that no one has found the corresponding number raises further riddles. Some also suspect new recipes for the Horadric Cube that might be hidden somewhere.
Currently, searches are hot in multiple Discords in the community, and fans are looking for new meanings in the messages. Whether there is one is still uncertain. Some believe they need further hints from Blizzard – after all, that’s where the wisdom lies. Or it might be their “fate” to keep searching.

New Continent: The journey of WotLK brings you to Northrend. On the snowy continent, you will encounter the armies of the Lich King, who have settled in many places. The fight against the undead is the focus of dungeons and raids.
New Profession: In WotLK Classic, you will begin the new profession of Inscription. By milling herbs, you can produce pigments and thus ink, which is used to create glyphs and more. With glyphs, you can enhance or change abilities. Anyone can use the glyphs and acquire them from scribes or the auction house.
The starting zones and map: You can start leveling in Northrend in two different starting zones.
The Borean Tundra
The Howling Fjord
Both areas are suitable for leveling from level 68 to 72. Even if you haven’t reached level 70 in TBC Classic, you can start in Northrend with level 68.
On the overview map, you can see all zones/areas of Northrend
Where is there PvP? In the area of Wintergrasp, there will regularly be battles where Alliance and Horde fight for temporary control of the area. Every three hours, you will receive a notification in the outdoor area of Wintergrasp and also in the capital Dalaran that the battle for Wintergrasp is about to begin. Those staying in the outdoor area receive an invitation to the queue. Those in Dalaran can speak to an NPC to join the queue.
As the lead developers explained to us in an interview, there is still open PvP in Wintergrasp. Although you only see the actual fortress for your faction, provided that a member of your faction has won the battle on your server, the outer areas with elementals and so on remain open to all.
This was our brief overview of the launch of WotLK Classic in World of Warcraft. Blizzard has added further changes and restrictions to the Classic version of the popular addon that were not present at the original release of the expansion.
On September 28, 2021, New World was released and attracted nearly a million players simultaneously at launch almost exactly a year ago. However, the game then fell rapidly. Now, so many fans have returned that we haven’t seen since February. But what is the reason for this? We at MeinMMO summarize.
What happened to New World? At the release of the MMORPG from Amazon, the game received surprisingly good feedback. Almost a million players gathered simultaneously at the start of the new world on Steam.
The player numbers of New World shrank quickly, reaching their lowest point in June 2022. Only 22,565 players were playing simultaneously on the best day of the month. That is only about 2.5% of the player counts from launch.
What is happening now in New World? Since August, however, the numbers of active fans have been rising again. Initially, it was only a small increase, but in September New World achieved a player peak of 45,745 simultaneous players, nearly doubling the numbers from June.
So many people haven’t played New World since February. And this, even though there hasn’t been a major update recently. So why the significant increase in players in the MMORPG?
New World also looks stunning, just like 4 other MMORPGs:

Twitch Streamers Are Coming Back
What does New World look like on Twitch? A closer look shows that Twitch numbers are also rising again. This is due to large and well-known streamers returning to the MMORPG. MMORPG giant Asmongold, among others, has stated that New World is slowly finding its place and knows what it wants to be.
Even the huge streamer Summit1g was drawn into a stream of New World. This is particularly noteworthy because he was one of the few major Twitch streamers who wasn’t part of the New World hype during the launch.
The well-known MMORPG YouTuber TheLazyPeon also recently released a video in which he re-evaluates New World in 2022 and finds many positive words (via YouTube).
Since the player numbers were already very high initially, this already shows that there is a significant interest in the game. New World has improved in many areas over the past year. Streams could not only attract brand new players but also entice some old fans to return.
The Mood on Reddit is Changing: Reddit is also a source for many gamers when it comes to their favorite games. The mood in the reddit for New World is becoming increasingly positive towards the game.
At launch, things looked different; the general sentiment was rather negative and influenced by the many bugs and game errors at the release. However, currently, more and more threads are appearing where people are returning to New World and having a lot of fun.
One of these threads can be seen here:

The next major patch, Brimstone Sands, is already on the horizon. It is expected to be the largest update for the MMORPG so far and will bring more story and a completely new zone reminiscent of Egypt, along with a new weapon.
The weapon is a greatsword. Fans have long wished for it, and it will soon find its way into the MMORPG. When exactly the update will arrive is currently still uncertain. However, you can already play on the test server.
All the information about the update can be found in our video:

New World: This is what to expect in the largest update so far
A Lot Has Improved: Overall, New World has used the past year to work on itself. The MMORPG has been improved in many areas and is slowly but surely managing to win back lost players.
It’s hard to pinpoint exactly why New World has gained a significant surge of active fans right now. Nevertheless, it seems that the increase is continuing. Especially if Brimstone Sands actually goes live, there could be another sharp rise.
What do you currently think of New World? Are you playing the MMORPG again or perhaps still? What bothered you back then when you stopped? And are you currently interested in checking back into Aeternum? Feel free to let us know your opinion in the comments here at MeinMMO; we are curious about your thoughts.
The early access to FIFA 23 is around the corner. Everything about the 10-hour trial, the start time, and the early access with the Ultimate Edition is covered here.
Update, September 26, 4:00 PM: The 10-hour trial with EA Play is now accessible. On PlayStation, for instance, you need to check the PS Store to start the trial version. It looks like this:
Look for the version in the storeThe start button will be unlocked in the main menuThis is what the EA Play test version looks like in the main menuOn PlayStation, the trial is now available
Start issues of the FIFA 23 trial on PC
Meanwhile, there appear to be login issues on PC. Players are receiving an anti-cheat message, for example. This is already being discussed by several players in the FIFA subreddit – but it doesn’t seem to affect everyone (via reddit). The community is already looking for the first solutions to the issues.
Some players are currently receiving these screens when trying to start the FIFA 23 trial on PC
Users on Xbox can already access the FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition with the “New Zealand trick” if they have pre-ordered. More about this can be seen below.
We have updated this article for the release of the trial. Here is the continuation of the original article.
When does FIFA 23 start? There are various official dates for the start of FIFA 23.
The Ultimate Edition officially starts for pre-orders on September 27, 2022
The same applies to the limited early access via the EA Play trial
The Standard Edition will be available on September 30 – this is also the official release date for FIFA 23.
There is currently no demo for FIFA 23. However, it seems like one could already start playing FIFA 23 from today, September 26, 2022 – at least under certain conditions.
While you wait for the launch of FIFA 23, you can start assembling a team in the web app. Tips for a strong and inexpensive Bundesliga starter team can be found here:
Play FIFA 23 on September 26 – Everything about the 10-hour trial
Update: The trial is now available on September 26, at 4:00 PM. However, there seem to be problems on PC, players may receive anti-cheat messages and 404 errors.
When does the FIFA 23 trial start? Actually, the limited trial for EA Play users was supposed to start on September 27. However, if you check the launcher on PC for the start for EA Play users, September 26 is already indicated as the start date.
According to information from our colleagues at GameStar, the start has also been confirmed for today at 4:00 PM. Accordingly, the 10-hour trial should already be available today for EA Play users who want to play. On PC with EA Play Pro, the time-unlimited version should even be available.
What about the Ultimate Edition? Everything about the Xbox trick with New Zealand
When does the FIFA 23 early access for the Ultimate Edition start? Pre-orders of the Ultimate Edition can officially start on September 27, likely at 00:00. However, there has been a trick in previous years to play earlier on Xbox. You just have to switch your Xbox to the New Zealand time zone.
Go to your Xbox settings
Select the settings for language and location
Change your location to “New Zealand”
The start in New Zealand at 00:00 corresponds to 13:00 here. In the past, this has allowed players to access the game earlier on Xbox – this time it might work as well.
What the game contains is shown in the FIFA 23 trailer:

What about PlayStation? On PS5 or PS4, the trick might not be advisable, as you would need to create a new account with the corresponding time zone and continue using it.
In FIFA 23, players can use EA Play to access a 10-hour trial version to get started before the official release. How can you make the best use of this time for Ultimate Team?
What is a trial like? The trial is a time-limited 10-hour version of FIFA 23 that players with an EA Play account can download and play. The official launch is on September 27, 2022, but it seems access might be available as early as September 26.
Once the 10 hours are up, you will need to set the game aside and can then play the Standard Edition at the FIFA 23 release starting Friday, September 30 if you choose to buy it.
It’s different if you pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition – it can be played as early as September 27.
Many players use the trial not just to test the game, but also to gain some advantages in Ultimate Team. Here are 3 tips on how to make the most of the trial.
1. Completely close FIFA 23 when you are not playing
Why is this important? This tip applied to previous FIFA titles and should be important this time as well: You should completely close the game when you are not playing. Do not just return to the main menu or minimize your window, but fully close the game.
The reason for this is clear: If the game continues running in the background of your console or PC, you risk the time ticking down.
2. Ultimate Team: Use your time for games and coin boosts
Best way to use 10 hours in FIFA 23: The best thing you can do in the FIFA 23 trial to earn coins is: Play. Don’t waste your time opening packs or doing SBCs, but try to get your team on the pitch as quickly as possible.
Especially, you can earn coin boosts from season progress or through bonuses to gain more coins per match. This way, you’ll be on a good path to quickly fill up your coin balance.
Many reward animations in the game take a lot of time
Also pay attention to tasks and objectives: In FIFA 23, there are plenty of objectives and tasks you can complete in Ultimate Team. Some of them provide coin boosts, packs, or at least XP for season progress. It’s best to get a quick overview before starting your matches. Because if you meet the conditions of certain objectives, you can earn some extra rewards “on the side.”
3. Trading, SBCs, Rewards – Head to the Web App
What about my rewards? Of course, you also earn coins when you open packs in Ultimate Team, sell players, and collect rewards. But: You do not need to use your trial time for that.
Searching and bidding on the transfer market, checking your club, pack animations, collecting objective rewards – that can take a lot of time. It’s better to use the Web App for such tasks – there you can complete all “organizational” tasks in Ultimate Team just as well and not lose any trial time.
Important here: Make sure to exit Ultimate Team on your console or PC and return to the main menu before you close your game and switch to the Web App. Otherwise, you will be banned from logging in because you are considered still logged in on your other device for a few minutes.
What can you do in the trial? Even though the 10-hour trial is time-limited, you can access everything in terms of content. If you are not particularly interested in FUT bonuses, it might be worth checking out the other modes.
If you use the trial as a demo alternative to see if the new FIFA title is for you, you should not just look at Ultimate Team. While this mode is the largest in FIFA 23, it’s not for everyone.

FIFA 23: Trailer shows new features in career mode
In Career Mode, for example, you can lead the club of your dreams to the top of the world. Over the past few years, some changes have been made: In FIFA 21, the career mode was outfitted with deeper managerial elements, which are still there. Since FIFA 22, you can also build your very own club.
And there is now a “Highlight” mode in Career that takes you only through the top spots of a match
The Career Mode is great for getting a feel for the game and getting into the gameplay. It can also be played well with friends on the couch – together against the AI. Alternatively, you can compete against each other in the Kick-Off mode. Volta or Pro Clubs are also available.
As a PC player, you should take a closer look at how you perceive the new FIFA 23 – as the version has finally caught up technically to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. This also brings many new animations and a slightly different gameplay feel to the game.
The beta for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 ends this evening at 7:00 PM German time. So you still have a bit of time to thoroughly test the new aspects of the game. However, if you want to grab the exclusive rewards, you should hurry up.

On the weekend, players could earn the new Trials bow “Pfeiffer’s Favor” in its master version in Destiny 2. The perk “Kill Clip” is considered by players to be the god roll and thus the strongest option for the weapon. However, a new perk from Season 18 could be the much better choice as it automatically grants bonus damage, even if your shots are not accurate.
Which weapon is it? The current Season 18 introduced two new weapons into the loot pool of the “Trials of Osiris”. A new shotgun and for the first time, also a bow called “Pfeiffer’s Favor”. It is just a reimagining of the “Whispering Plate” that was released in Season 11, but with significantly better stats.
This weekend, one could earn the kinetic bow for the first time in the master version for a flawless run to the Lighthouse. Many players prioritized its “Light Frame” with the “Kill Clip” perk as the god roll. Especially since it is also the first bow that can drop with it.
However, a few content creators, like Legoleflash, now say: “Don’t be blinded by it!” They, along with us at MeinMMO, have identified another strong perk favorite that is better than “Kill Clip”, especially when aiming down sights rather than firing from the hip.
“Pfeiffer’s Favor” – The new bow from the Trials of Osiris
These two perks vie for the title of favorite: “Pfeiffer’s Favor” can drop with both “Kill Clip” and the new perk “Direct Shot to the Gut”. However, upon closer inspection, the advantages of the latter outweigh.
The perk “Kill Clip” causes increased damage when reloading after a kill. This grants you exactly 33% more damage for 5.5 seconds in Season 18. But only if you can make a kill with it.
“Direct Shot to the Gut”, on the other hand, increases body shot damage when aiming down sights and reduces target acquisition. This, unlike “Kill Clip”, is a passive 20% damage bonus that is always active. And this even applies to inaccurate shots, i.e., body shots, when aiming down sights.
With the perk “Direct Shot to the Gut”, “Pfeiffer’s Favor” can not only offer free extra damage, a quick draw time, and a slight speed boost. It is also very forgiving with misses. In PvP, your damage with a body shot increases from 86 to 103.
Additionally, you should not be deterred by its “Light Frame”, which is known for its rather poor time-to-kill values. “Pfeiffer’s Favor” has extremely good precision stats to compensate, making you quickly forget this downside.
As shown impressively by Legoleflash in his video, which is also a tribute to lightweight bows. In it, he explains in detail why the new perk is his favorite.

Forget Kill Clip – The new perk from Season 18 is better, says Legoleflash.
With a precision value of 38, the bow has a higher precision than any other bow in the game with a “Light Frame”. For comparison: Thornbite has 32 points. Every other bow of this legendary archetype ranks even lower, with stats around 20.
On the website destinymassivebreakdowns.com, you can view the exact base stats of all currently available bows in the game in a detailed overview:
Mobile Target (Optional would be Deadly Wind or Tunnel Vision.)
Direct Shot to the Gut
Masterwork: Draw Time
For PvE, in addition to “Direct Shot to the Gut”, you might consider “Cornered” and “Onslaught”.
In addition to the regular perk benefits, you also have the choice between three optional origin traits.
Quickness: for improved reload speed, stability, aim assist, and range when you are the last living member of your fireteam or fighting solo.
A Quiet Moment: Grants increased reload speed outside of combat.
Veist Spike: This grants bows a faster draw speed.
Quickness is slightly better suited for this bow than Veist Spike. With the perk combo mentioned above, you have already reached the maximum draw speed of 500.
In this combination, the new bow essentially plays like a constant 2-tap hand cannon. However, this is only true if you keep a few things in mind.
This is what the god roll of “Pfeiffer’s Favor” looks like with the recommended traits.
This is how to play the bow correctly: To trigger the perk, you have to adjust your playstyle a little. Especially if you have preferred firing from the hip.
For “Direct Shot to the Gut” to work, you must always aim down sight and then draw the bowstring. You cannot “pre-load”. However, once you get the hang of this adjustment, the combination of movement boost and 2-body-shot kills is really impressive and absolutely worth the effort.

If you don’t spend much time in PvP, we recommend the current story of Destiny 2. There, an old character, whom many players have hoped for years, is now revealed:
Streamer Maya Higa (24) took consequences from the big mud fight on Twitch and announced she would withdraw from all online platforms indefinitely. She made a final statement.
Content Warning: This article deals with sexual harassment and assault. If this topic causes you discomfort, it may be better not to read further.
Here’s the short version: Streamer “CrazySlick” allegedly stalked streamer Adrianah Lee at a party and touched her on the neck and chest while she was sleeping. However, Slick maintained that he was just checking to see if she was okay, having checked her pulse.
Meanwhile, several other women have come forward with allegations against Slick (via dotesports.com).
How does Maya fit into this? The streamer Matthew “Mizkif” Rinaudo, who is friends with Slick, sent his then-girlfriend Maya and his buddy, streamer Mitch Jones, to see Adrianah.
The two reportedly downplayed the incident and influenced Adrianah not to make the whole story public. Maya then made a statement. She said she merely encouraged Adrianah to clarify that it was not a rape (via Twitch).
In her statement, Maya also admitted that there could have been an unfair power dynamic between her and Adrianah since she was the larger streamer. That was not her intention and she regrets it.
Long before the current scandal, these streamers rose to fame.

Twitch: Who were actually the first successful streamers?
Maya’s final statement: “I’m truly sorry”
What has happened now? On September 25, Maya published her “final statement” regarding the incidents on TwitLonger. In this statement, Maya referred to a leaked call that caused a lot of commotion on the night of September 22 to 23.
This is what Maya had to say: Maya explained that she and her intentions were misrepresented in the call. She did not have the opportunity to represent her side. Therefore, she now feels the need to speak out again.
However, Maya emphasized that she has no interest in “letting bombs drop” or “playing games”.
This is how it went from Maya’s perspective: Maya said she did not go to Adrianah’s house to force her to change her story or to cover up a sexual assault. Maya only wanted to find out the truth and helped Adrianah share her version of the story.
Maya reemphasized that it was never her intention for her status to influence Adrianah. She would never knowingly protect an abuser or threaten a victim. She strongly condemns Slick’s actions.
Additionally, Maya took the opportunity to publicly apologize to Adrianah – and to the other women who are said to have been harassed by Slick. She feels awful for being a part of it.
Farewell for an indefinite time
In her statement, Maya also announced her intention to withdraw from all social platforms indefinitely.
For Maya, who is active as a falconer and conservationist outside of Twitch, streaming has always merely been a means to an end. She wanted to build a platform and inform about conservation.
She thanked those who are still willing to support her platform. For the others, she has complete understanding.
It is unclear if and when Maya will return to streaming and whether she intends to continue her joint podcast with streamer QTCinderella.
As the only female member of the gaming organization One True King (OTK), which includes Mizkif, streamer Emily “Emiru” Schunk has commented on the allegations against her friends Mizkif and Slick. She criticized the handling of the issue of sexual harassment on Twitch.
In Pokémon GO you can soon look forward to a new Ultra Beast: Schlingking. The developers have hidden a hint about the release in their latest video. We from MeinMMO will tell you when it might finally happen.
Which monster is it about? After several Ultra Beasts have already made their way into Pokémon GO in recent months, there should soon be another one. You can probably look forward to Schlingking next.
The trainers have already suspected that the Ultra Beast of the Dark and Dragon type will be one of the next monsters in the game. You can already find its shadow on the home screen, and some trainers could also discover it in the puzzles of the Season of Light.
However, the developers of Pokémon GO have posted a video that gives further hints about a release. We will show you when the monster might come into the game.
What are Ultra Beasts? Ultra Beasts are mysterious Pokémon from another dimension. They come into the world of Pokémon GO through Ultra Wormholes that resemble black holes.
Pokémon GO posts video about Schlingking
Which video is it? Today, on September 26, 2022, a new video was posted on the German Twitter account of Pokémon GO. It is titled “UPDATE: UB-05 VIELFRASS Our analysis of the return of ‘UB-05 Vielfraß’ is complete. You will find the details in the video.”

The title already provides the first hint that the video is about Schlingking. The monster is also referred to as UB-05 Vielfraß. Unlike other videos of this kind, this one initially features a brief recap.
Niantic first shows a clip of the other Ultra Beasts in the game and their respective release dates. Finally, you can also see Schlingking in the last sequence. In this, a group of people is shown standing in front of a fence, filming the Ultra Beast. Meanwhile, Schlingking is devouring concrete pillars.
At the end of the video, a part of the release date is also displayed. In the video, you can read: ‘UB-05 Vielfraß’ 11.??.
When will the release be? If you compare the specified date with the release times of the other Ultra Beasts earlier, it quickly becomes clear that it is in the American date format. In this, the month is mentioned first, followed by the day, unlike in German.
Thus, the release date of Schlingking points to November. However, the exact day is not revealed in the video. So when it will happen exactly remains to be seen for now.
Where will Schlingking be found? Since the previous Ultra Beasts, such as Anego, were found in level 5 raids, it is reasonable to assume that Schlingking will also dominate these in November. However, more specifics must be awaited.
Schlingking is an Ultra Beast from Generation 7. It belongs to the Dark and Dragon types. Schlingking does not have a pre-evolution or evolution.
You can recognize the monster by its large black body, long arms, and large mouth. This is surrounded by huge, golden teeth and glows blue when opened.
What do you think of the prospects for the next Ultra Beast? Will you catch it as soon as it appears? Or are Ultra Beasts not really your thing? Let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other trainers.
In our level overview for the areas of Northrend, we show you in which zone you should play at which level in WoW WotLK Classic. This way you have the right opponents for your level.
This is the overview: On the continent of Northrend, there are various areas where you can level up. Starting zones include the Borean Tundra and the Howling Fjord. But what comes next and which area should you be in at which level?
We show you in the overview where you should level up when.
Northrend: Where to go with which level in WoW Classic?
Here you should level up: The level recommendations are ranges. If you’re slightly above or slightly below, you can still gain XP there. However, there are certain quests that only unlock at certain levels. If you are also well above the level recommendation, then the mobs are often so far below your level that they give little XP.
This is what you need to know: There are areas where level requirements overlap. You can start wandering into Dragonblight at level 71 or continue in the starting areas. The Grizzly Hills could be completely skipped. Much is left up to you.
Also, the end areas Crystalsong Forest, Icecrown, and Storm Peaks overlap. It depends on personal preferences where you like to level. This can relate to the type of opponents or even the visual appeal. There are few quests available for you in Crystalsong Forest. Dalaran hovers above the forest. From time to time, you will be sent into the forest, but the actual endgame questing is in Icecrown and Storm Peaks. For later reputation quests, it might be worth it to quest through all the areas later.
Have you already set an order of the areas where you want to level up? Write your selection here on MeinMMO in the comments and exchange ideas with other players about it.

With the update on September 28, a new class comes to the MMORPG Lost Ark. We at MeinMMO have taken a closer look at the Machinist, known in English as Scouter, and explain what you need to know.
The Scouter is the 5th subclass of the Gunner. It has been playable on Russian and Korean servers for some time now, and finally, it is coming to us.
You are armed with machine guns and shoot lasers around you. In addition, you are accompanied by a drone that helps you in battle. It shoots at your enemies from a distance.
Pro
Mobile class
A drone that accompanies you
Contra
Little defense
You basically have to control 2 characters simultaneously
This is how the Scouter plays
This is the special abilityof the Scouter: During combat, your energy gauge charges up. With a full gauge, you can perform a hypersynchronization, entering a special mode that makes you stronger. You can also use special attacks while in this mode. The mode lasts until the gauge is depleted.
There are 4 different categories for the skills: Normal, Drone, Combo, and Sync. In the normal skills, you rely on rifles and grenades to charge your gauge. The drone performs its own skills, and then there are so-called combo skills where you collaborate with your drone. Sync abilities can only be executed when you are in hypersynchronization.
All abilities of the Scouter:
Normal skills:
Bullet Rain: Aim forward and shoot multiple times to deal damage and partially charge the battery.
Overloaded Battery: Throw a battery at the target. It ignites, dealing damage, then explodes, dealing more damage, knocking enemies into the air, and partially charging the battery.
Mobile Shot: Use rolls to quickly move toward the target position. Use rolls again to shoot multiple times at the target position, dealing damage, and charging the battery.
High Voltage Ball: Shoot quickly with an electro-shocker forward, dealing damage and electrifying hit enemies for a long time while partially charging the battery.
Pulse Fire: Fire a pulse cartridge forward, dealing damage to the hit enemy and partially charging the battery.
Avalanche: Sprint forward and deal damage. Press an additional combo to shoot in a conical area and deal damage.
Strategic Fire: Sit down and aim at your enemies. Shoot multiple times, dealing damage and charging the battery.
Backflip Strike: Rush forward and draw your rifle to deal damage. Use the skill again to stomp with your feet and deal damage. Attach a powerful bomb to an enemy and then backflip. The bomb explodes shortly after.
Drone:
Laser Beam: The drone fires laser beams that deal damage.
Active Pulse: The drone generates a pulsating wave that attacks nearby enemies from its current position.
Raid Missile: The drone fires missiles towards the target position, dealing damage and knocking hit enemies down.
Blockade: Directs a drone to fly towards the target position. It spins and fires at enemies, causing damage.
M143 Machine Gun: The drone flies towards the target position, shooting at enemies.
Baby Drones: The drone sends smaller self-destructing drones towards the enemy.
Carpet Bombing: The drone flies towards the target and bombs it.
Combo:
Destruction Mode: Summon your drone, position yourself back-to-back with it, and shoot at enemies.
Fiery Escape: Summon your drone and ride on it forward while shooting at enemies.
Energy Breaker: Summon your drone and attach it to your arm. Charge the turret to stun and push the enemy away.
Sync:
Comet Strike: Teleport to the target position, rush forward, and knock enemies away.
Break Strike: Extend your fists, rush forward, and deal damage. Then deal damage in a conical area and knock enemies back.
Blood Red Breaker: Shoot a laser forward and deal damage.
Single Shot: Raise your right hand and fire a laser forward to deal damage. Enemies in the air are knocked back up upon hit.
Laser Blade: Create laser blades with your hands that deal damage and knock enemies away.
Ecthelion Beam: Jump high and shoot a laser forward that deals damage.
Awakenings:
Air Strike: Throw a bomb to the target position that deals damage multiple times.
Final Explosion: The drone flies to the target and self-destructs. It respawns at your location afterward.
The Scouter in the level process
How should I distribute my first skill points? When distributing points, it is important that you never need to raise the skill levels higher than level 10. Skill Level 4 is needed for the first tripod, Skill Level 7 for the second, and Skill Level 10 for the third.
Level 12: 4 points on Mobile Shot and Active Pulse.
Up to Level 21: 48 points on Destruction Mode
Up to Level 26: 20 points on Blockade
Up to Level 31: 48 points on Carpet Bombing
Up to Level 35: All points transfer from Carpet Bombing to Baby Drones
Up to Level 38: 48 points on Avalanche
Up to Level 45: 48 points on Raid Missile
Up to Level 48: As many points as possible on Mobile Shot
In the trailer, you can see the infamous opponent Vykas:

The best builds in the endgame
In the endgame, you choose, like with most other classes, between two class engravings. This decides your playstyle. You either focus on your drone or on hypersynchronization.
Class engraving A: Legacy of Evolution
What does the engraving do? Legacy of Evolution focuses on the hypersynchronization mode. It increases your damage, reduces cooldowns, and regenerates the identity gauge so you can quickly return to the mode.
Which engravings should I also use? In addition to the class engraving, the combat engraving Adrenaline for more crit is worth it. You can also focus on Raid Captain to move even faster. Later, Reckless Blunt Weapon and Barricade are useful.
Which collectible cards are important? To further increase your crit rate, you should initially focus on the card set Howling Rocks. It consists of Armel, Seria, Solas, King Thirain, Kharmine, and Delain Armel.
Optimal is the set Light of Redemption, which consists of rare cards. Therefore, it will be expensive later, but worth it. The set consists of Shandi, Azena, Innana, Nineveh, Wei, Balthorr, and Thirain. With a 6-piece set with 30 awakenings, the cards grant you 8% more Holy Damage and convert all your damage into Holy Damage.

As awakening, you use Air Strike.
What does the rotation look like? If possible, start your rotation with the awakening Air Strike. Then you should have maximized your identity gauge and go into sync mode.
You use this sequence:
Comet Strike

Class engraving B: Arthetinian Skill
What does the engraving do? The alternative class engraving focuses on the interplay with the drone. Drone and combo skills are enhanced, you move faster, and the drone is docked to your character. The sync mode drops with this class engraving.
Which engravings should I also use? In addition, Adrenaline is worthwhile, and later, when you have enough crit, Reckless Blunt Weapon. Also, Overlord and Awakening are sensible. You move faster, and your cooldowns decrease.
Which collectible cards are important? The collectible cards do not differ from the other class engraving. To further increase your crit rate, you should initially focus on the card set Howling Rocks. It consists of Armel, Seria, Solas, King Thirain, Kharmine, and Delain Armel.
Optimal here is also the set Light of Redemption, which consists of rare cards. Therefore, it will be expensive later, but worth it.

You want to start with a Bundesliga team in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team (FUT) and not spend too many coins? Then we have a cheap starter team for you that can impress with good stats despite its low price.
What kind of team is this? We have selected players who have strong values in the most important areas but are not too expensive. With this team, you should manage well through the first days in FUT while you gather more coins for stronger players.
Currently, the complete team should cost around 36,000 coins (as of September 26, 2022), which is about 3,200 coins per card. However, some players are cheaper, while you have to pay a slightly higher amount for others. It might be worth replacing some players with alternatives depending on your budget.
11 good Bundesliga players for starting in Ultimate Team
This is the team: As this is a complete Bundesliga team, chemistry plays a minor role. If you still want to engage with the new chemistry system, take a look here:
For the team, we opted for a classic 4-4-2 formation, with which you can’t go wrong in the beginning. We searched for a mix of players that combines speed with good passing and defending stats. Here is the Bundesliga starter team:
This is what your first Bundesliga team could look like (via futbin)
In the attack, you will find two players, Nmecha and Adeyemi, who especially impress with speed and good dribbling stats. It shouldn’t be a problem to overcome the opponent’s defense. The only downside are the shooting stats, which still leave something to be desired.
Alternatives: If you prefer a stronger finishing striker, Timo Werner would be a good option, though it costs a few more coins.
In central midfield, we have set up two physically strong players, Laimer and Can, who can defend well and create scoring opportunities offensively. Especially Can has strong overall values for the start that make him a true all-rounder.
Alternatives: Florian Wirtz is also an interesting midfielder if you are looking for a more offensive option. He is more agile than Laimer and Can and has significantly better dribbling stats.
On the wings, there are two fast players, Roussillon and Baku, who can create quite a stir. Both have strong pace stats and should be able to create some chances with their good passing and dribbling stats.
Alternatives: Other alternatives are Brekalo and Szobozslai, who have similar stats. A better alternative, due to stronger shooting stats, would be Malen from Borussia Dortmund, who currently costs a proud 12,000 coins.
The defense consists of Raum (who has received a proper upgrade), Gvardiol, Mavropanos, and Frimpong, all of whom are quite fast and also have decent defensive stats. This back four shouldn’t be easily overrun by opposing strikers.
Alternatives: If you have a bit more coins available, Lacroix for center-back would be a good choice as he offers a bit more pace. Or Klostermann, who impresses with even stronger physique.
In goal, you are flexible as always, because especially in the Bundesliga there are many good goalkeepers. We opted for Casteels due to his height of 1.97 meters. However, Baumann and Kobel are also strong options.
However, keep in mind that prices can still vary significantly, as FIFA 23 has not officially been released yet and different transfer markets have been merged for the first time.
The killing in Dead by Daylight will soon work very differently. The famous “Mori” killings are going to be completely changed.
Killing survivors is the core task of the killers in Dead by Daylight and a fundamental game principle. One would think that such a fundamental task wouldn’t change – but nothing could be further from the truth.
The developers are now starting an experiment and want to drastically revise the “Mori” killings of the killers. They are intended to always become the finale of a match, and for that, large adjustments are necessary.
What are “Moris”? In Dead by Daylight, the killer has several ways to kill survivors. The most common variant is hanging on hooks and sacrificing to the Entity. Alternatively, there is the option to use the “Mori” animation. This is a personal kill animation that each killer possesses and is tailored specifically to the killer. Michael Myers stabs his victim with his knife at a gruesome and intimate distance, while the Witch eats her victim’s intestines.
These “Mori” killings originally came from the offering “Memento Mori,” which allowed this animation under certain conditions. However, they could also be earned through perks like “Hex: Devour Hope” or “Rancor.”
The Mori animations are often the macabre (and fittingly cool for a horror game) ending for a survivor, as these examples show:
What do the developers want to change about the Mori? In short: pretty much everything about how they currently work. When all but one survivor in the match is dead, dying (i.e., on the ground), on the hook, or escaped, the last survivor becomes the “Last Standing.” Both the killer and the survivor then receive a larger field of view to see more of the match.
As soon as another survivor stands up again, this phase ends. However, if the killer downs the last survivor, it triggers the “Finishing Mori”:
The killer and the survivor will be teleported to a fixed position on the map where the Mori animation can be viewed well. This survivor is then dramatically killed with the Mori animation. All other survivors still in the match (on the hook or dying on the ground) are instantly killed and count as a successful sacrifice.
If anyone thinks that killers would then start “slugging” all survivors, meaning downing them and then leaving them on the ground, they are mistaken. This will no longer be possible in the future because: All survivors will gain the ability to fully pick themselves up after 45 seconds on the ground, without the help of another survivor.
So if the killer does not pick the survivor up or end the match within the 45 seconds, the survivor can get back on their feet.
However, keep in mind that this is currently just a plan from the developers that is to be tested on the PTB.
The Mori animation is often the gruesome highlight – Like from slasher movies.
What changes will occur to the perks? Since the Mori animation will become part of the normal gameplay, it will disappear from offerings and perks. At the same time, survivors can pick themselves up, so some perks will be revised as well.
The planned changes to survivor perks are:
The ability to self-pick has been removed from Unbreakable, Soul Guard, No Mither, and Boon: Exponential.
Unbreakable increases self-healing speed on the ground by 80% / 90% / 100%.
The planned changes to killer perks are:
The ability to kill survivors with a Mori has been removed from Rancor and Hex: Devour Hope.
Rancor shows the aura of the obsession for 5 seconds after the last generator is repaired. The target then has the “Exposed” status permanently.
If Hex: Devour Hope has collected a total of 5 tokens, survivors will be instantly fully sacrificed when hung.
The changes to the Mori offerings are:
Cypress Memento Mori: Gain 8,000 blood points as a bonus if at least 2 survivors are killed and the match ends in a Finishing Mori.
Ivory Memento Mori: Gain 12,000 blood points as a bonus if at least 2 survivors are killed and the match ends in a Finishing Mori.
Ebony Memento Mori: Gain 20,000 blood points as a bonus if at least 2 survivors are killed and the match ends in a Finishing Mori.
More updates regarding Dead by Daylight can be found here on MeinMMO:
Community reacts with incomprehension: Although the community is generally satisfied that the Mori killings are finally being revised, there is much skepticism about the planned approach in the Subreddit of Dead by Daylight.
On the other hand, survivors will have the permanent ability to pick themselves up from the ground infinitely, which is an extremely powerful buff in terms of survivor abilities. For killers, it virtually eliminates the option to leave a survivor on the ground for a short time to chase and displace another nearby survivor.
At the same time, there is concern that flashlights will gain more importance. Since the killer is practically forced to pick the downed survivor up very quickly, many survivors will see their chance to blind the killer with the flashlight while being picked up.
The final criticism is the concern that Dead by Daylight is paving the way to offer various Mori animations in the shop, practically as an additional customization option. That the Mori animation will be stylishly staged beforehand seems in the eyes of many to be a logical step to monetize even more from Dead by Daylight. However, the developers have not made any statements regarding this so far.
Whether the revision of the Mori animations will actually go live remains to be seen. So far, it is only a test from the developers who want to see a new finale for the match. Whether this will be well received is yet to be seen.
What do you think of these plans? Cool innovations or completely absurd changes?
