LoL: Many players discover a secret shop function only after a year

Marcel 5. October 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

In League of Legends, there are various features designed to enhance your gaming experience. After Riot Games added a feature to the shop in an update, it took a year for the community to discover it. The item shop has always had fun interactions, and we’ll show you a few of them.

What is this feature? The item shop offers players the opportunity to improve themselves. Items make your champions stronger. However, sometimes you don’t immediately know which item you can improve and how. That’s why a new feature was introduced to assist you with that.

When you open the shop, you can not only search for items but also mark your inventory items with the keys 1-7. As soon as you do this, the items you can build from your already purchased item will be displayed.

Riot Games regularly updates their game and added a feature in a patch a year ago to help you. However, nobody has discovered this feature for a year. The players probably read the patch notes, but overlooked this change in the shop and didn’t regard it as important.

If you haven’t seen the LoL anthem of the Worlds yet, we have a video for you:

“I have been playing for 10 years and still didn’t know this”

This is what players say: When players shared their discovery on reddit, there was some surprise about the hidden feature. Some fans have been playing for ages and knew nothing about the change.

A user explains that while Riot did explain the new feature, only a few people seem to have noticed it.

How useful is the feature? Due to its ease of use, many fans see a benefit in the time saved, which can be quite valuable in the heat of the moment. Others see the risk of an accident:

I would be too scared to accidentally use my stopwatch.

In fact, the new shop feature has a relatively small impact on the gameplay and is mainly valuable in high-rank matches where every second counts. In regular matches, the feature serves more for convenience.

The LoL shop has many other features

What other features are there? To honor a former coach, Riot Games has built an Easter egg into the LoL shop. If you type “LS” or “Last Shadow” into the search bar, you will be shown 2 items: Liandry’s Anguish and the Morellonomicon.

Nick “LS” De Cesare (the nickname stands for “Last Shadow”) is the former coach of Cloud 9. Since then, he occasionally streams on Twitch.
As a streamer, he is currently commenting on the World Championship of League of Legends and has long accompanied the LCK as a commentator.
He has made a name for himself by stating that Liandry’s Anguish is a stronger item than the Morellonomicon.

When De Cesare first stumbled upon the Easter egg, he was reduced to tears in his livestream:

The shop has more exciting Easter eggs:

If you type “tons of damage” in the search bar, the strength of Trinity will be shown. The voice from the champion spotlights of LoL used this description for strong champions. It has even developed to the point where memes were created around it (via YouTube).

To search for wards, you can alternatively type “pink” in the search bar. You will then see the control wards, which were previously called “pinkwards” in English.

The Horn of the Protector, which is only available on the ARAM map, was accidentally referred to as biceps by LCS commentator Sam “Kobe” Hartman-Kenzler. Since then, you can search for the terms “Golden Bicep of Kobe” & “Golden Arm of Kobe” in the shop and find the item.

However, these features are not really useful, merely a homage to special people from the LoL community.

If you have discovered other features or Easter eggs, let us know in the comments.

Destiny 2: King’s Fall – How to master ‘Dazed Gaze’, the third raid challenge

Britta ♤ BeAngel 5. October 2022 Reading time 4 minutes

If you want to get extra loot from the Destiny 2 Kingsfall raid, you can take on one of the challenges. This week it is with the Ogre. MeinMMO gives you tips on how to complete the third raid challenge “Stunned Gaze” most easily.

What is a raid challenge? The so-called challenges in the raids of Destiny 2 are additional tasks that players can take on in the PvE endgame. They are fun and yield some extra loot. So more of the prestigious weapons and armor for everyone.

However, the challenge also restricts the normal, accustomed gameplay in a special way. Depending on which challenge is currently active, players must coordinate anew to master it in the end.

A different challenge is active each week, and it usually takes place in a specific raid encounter or phase. MeinMMO informs you every Tuesday during the weekly reset about which challenge it is and where it takes place.

In the raid “Kingsfall”, there are a total of five such encounters – the jumping sections are excluded from the challenges. They rotate every week, but not in random order.

How to succeed at the challenge: “Stunned Gaze”

Where does the challenge take place? The raid challenge “Stunned Gaze” takes place in the second phase of the Kingsfall raid with the Ogre Golgoroth.

In the past, you had to pick up special loot quests from Hawthorne, but that has changed. The challenge is automatically active at the start of the raid. You will see the relevant information in the bottom left corner when you start the raid.

How to succeed at the challenge: To specifically complete the challenge “Stunned Gaze”, it is crucial to have the two “Gaze-bearers” or also “Fury-takers”. The player who initially draws Golgoroth’s Fury, along with the rest of the team dealing damage, must stand in one of the regained Light pools. Only then can the second player sneak behind Golgoroth and fire at the yellow hitpoint to steal back the Ogre’s gaze.

The challenge sounds dangerous, as the Axion darts can now hit the entire team. You should always pay attention to whether the debuff “Unstable Light” is activated, which could cause you to take additional damage. Other than these details, the challenge does not fundamentally differ from the normal routine in the encounter, making it manageable after all.

If it still goes wrong, you will get the notification “Challenge Failed”. To try again, you can all die, and the encounter will restart.

IPhiniX has already mastered the challenge “Stunned Gaze” in his latest video and shows you the exact process.

This is how you succeed in the Kingsfall challenge “Stunned Gaze”.

Tips for the challenge

Even if it sounds easy, we have compiled a few practical tips that you can use.

Equip damage resistance and healing resources for the challenge, as this helps you survive in critical situations.
For the tactics in the Light pools, you have two options:
- You can either slightly separate the Gaze-bearer by positioning the damage team right in the circle and the Gaze-bearer on the left.
- Alternatively, the Gaze-bearer can only jump into the Light pool after another player must steal Golgoroth’s gaze again.
To get rid of the Axion darts, the Gaze-bearers should equip a rapidly firing machine gun as usual.
To allow the Fury-takers to quickly acquire the gaze buff, the exotic linear fusion rifle “Arbalest” has proven effective. One bullet is sufficient, so you don’t have to waste much ammunition.
Also good to know: Losing the gaze due to death or ending the damage phase has no impact on the challenge.

What rewards do you get? If you have successfully mastered the challenge, you will receive bonus loot in addition to completing the title plaque “Stunned Gaze”.

In addition to the standard chest at the end of the encounter, a second loot chest appears after a short time. This chest also contains top-tier gear.

As each encounter offers special loot, this means that for the raid challenge “Stunned Gaze” you will receive the headpiece, leg armor, the hand cannon “Curse of Zaouli”, or the fusion rifle “Midha’s Reckoning”.

In normal mode, completing a challenge gives you double loot.
If you play on the Grandmaster difficulty level, you receive stat-specific armor and “Tormented” weapons (Master versions). However, the power level requirement here is also 1600 with anti-barrier champions.
You can also earn the new raid-exclusive Exotics in the Oryx look at Grandmaster.

Guaranteed to receive a weapon with Deep Sight Resonance: All weapons from the Kingsfall raid are craftable. However, you must first unlock their blueprints.

So don’t forget to collect the Oryx chest symbols specifically in this Ogre phase. Only then can you secure the additional raid weapon with a red border as a drop from the final boss.

Do you also think this challenge is easy to accomplish, and will you surely master it on the first attempt? Feel free to leave the community a comment if you have any further tips and tricks on how to complete the challenge “Stunned Gaze” even better.

The head of Blizzard says: Hackers are to blame for not being able to play Overwatch 2

Benedict Grothaus 5. October 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

The release of Overwatch 2 was overshadowed by issues that excluded many players from the new shooter. While some fans suspected a failure on Blizzard’s part, the cause appears to be an external attack.

This is how the launch went: Overwatch 2 was released nearly an hour before the planned release time and was playable from around 8:00 PM German time on Tuesday, October 4th. In our special, you will find all the information about the launch of Overwatch 2.

At first, the servers were largely stable and many were able to log in. However, shortly before the official release at 9:00 PM, there were increased queues and server connection issues. Over 40,000 players wanted to enter the game simultaneously.

Fans were greeted with long wait times and repeated connection drops. Some even joked that this was the “secret subtitle” of Overwatch 2 (via reddit). In addition, many players were missing a ton of cosmetics from Overwatch 1, and the shop was not functioning properly.

Blizzard itself published a list of known issues in the official forum.

Here you can find the most important information about Overwatch 2 in a concise 43-second video:

This is what the boss says: On Tuesday evening, the new Blizzard boss Mike Ybarra spoke on Twitter. It was said that the Overwatch team is working on the issues and later:

Unfortunately, we are currently experiencing a mass DDoS attack on our servers. The teams are working hard on a mitigation/solution. This is causing a lot of losses and connectivity issues.

A DDoS attack, short for “Distributed Denial of Service,” usually occurs when perpetrators deliberately overload a network with too many requests. This can happen through botnets.

The affected service, in this case the Overwatch servers, cannot keep up, resulting in slow connections, lags, or connection drops. Such attacks are often simply motivated by malicious intent without any goal other than to disrupt.

Second DDoS attack on Wednesday: “We are working on it”

This is the current status: On this Wednesday, October 5th, there were queues of over 5,000 players again early in the morning at 8:00 AM. Those hoping to game a bit before the evening will likely have to continue waiting.

Aaron Keller, the Game Director and successor of Jeff Kaplan, explained in a tweet at 6:30 AM that a second DDoS attack followed. He stated they are making progress and continue to work on a solution, but he asks for patience.

This is what the players say: The news of the attack apparently has not reached all players yet, and there are still complaints about the queues. However, in the corresponding thread on reddit about the DDoS attacks, there is mainly anger towards the hackers.

The user Mjolnir17 summarizes the mood of many fans: “Why are people like this? I don’t care whether you like the game or not, but why ruin it for others?”

Whether the issues can be resolved throughout the day, we cannot say for sure yet. However, if you want to prepare for your first rounds, we have compiled some tips for you:

Pokémon GO: Today starts “Stars of Evolution”- All spawns & bonuses for the evolution event

Franzi Korittke 5. October 2022 Reading time 4 minutes

On Pokémon GO, the “Stars of Evolution” development event starts on October 5th. We at MeinMMO have taken a look at which spawns, shinies, and bonuses you can expect from this event and what highlights you can look forward to.

What event is this about? On October 5th, an event called “Stars of Evolution” starts in Pokémon GO. It’s all about evolutions. Of course, you can also encounter numerous monsters and benefit from various bonuses during this time. We have summarized what specific content you can expect below.

When does the development event run? “Stars of Evolution” starts on October 5, 2022, at 10:00 AM local time and runs until October 11, 2022, at 8:00 PM local time. You have just under a week to take advantage of the content.

All spawns and shinies for the development event

As you may already know from previous events, the spawns for the “Stars of Evolution” event will also be thematically adjusted. You will primarily encounter Pokémon that have evolutions.

You might also encounter a few shinies with a bit of luck. We have marked these with (*) for you.

Pokémon in the wild

In the wild, during the event, you can mainly encounter Pokémon from the first game generation. Keep an eye out for the following specimens:

Kokuna
Tauboga

Kadabra
Alpollo
Rihorn*
Seemon
Sichlor*
Evoli*
Quiekel*

In the raids, the bosses have also been thematically adjusted for you. While you can find Pokémon of the first evolution stage in level 1 raids, the monsters in level 3 raids have already evolved once but can evolve again.

In level 5 raids, you can expect legendary Pokémon, which do not have previous or further evolutions, as usual. We will show you exactly which monsters you can find in the following table:

Raids	Pokémon
Level-1-Raids	Flegmon* Onix* Sichlor* Porygon* Sonnkern*

All bonuses for the development event

During the “Stars of Evolution” event, you can not only catch a lot of monsters but also benefit from various bonuses. Here’s what you can expect:

Evolving Cosmog: With the start of the development event, you can also evolve Cosmog into Cosmovum for the first time. The legendary Pokémon from the 7th game generation could already be caught during the Special Research “A Cosmic Companion” in September.

Trainers have been waiting for weeks for the release of Cosmog’s evolutions, Cosmovum, Solgaleo, and Lunala, but they now have concerns about evolving Cosmovum. So far, you have only been able to catch one specimen.

As Niantic states in the event announcement, more Cosmog are supposed to follow in the “distant future”. However, according to current information, a development to Solgaleo and Lunala is not possible yet.

You can find out how strong Cosmog and its evolutions are in our related article:

Destiny 2: Weekly Reset on 04.10. – Face the hardest PvE content

Britta ♤ BeAngel 4. October 2022 Reading time 6 minutes

Destiny 2 refreshes your sources for top loot on today’s reset day. This week also marks the start of the toughest challenge for PvE players – the Grandmaster Nightfall. MeinMMO provides you with all the important information for the new week.

This is happening this week: Today marks the start of the Grandmaster Nightfalls, the most challenging PvE content in Destiny 2, back in the mix.

What is a “Grandmaster Nightfall”? This difficulty level is a particularly tough variant of the six Nightfall strikes from the current Season 18. Bungie doesn’t mess around when it comes to the fight for the title “Conqueror”.

No PvE challenge is harder in Destiny 2: At the “Grandmaster” Nightfall difficulty, the strongest enemies await with a huge amount of health and resistant shields. On top of that, there are over 10 negative modifiers that will test your skill, your fireteam, and your armor. In this mode, no one can rely on their high power level, as the Grandmaster Nightfall is played in a competitive mode.

Requirements for Grandmaster Nightfalls:

First, you need a minimum power level of 1595 to even start the activity. Those who already have a significantly higher power level cannot use that in this mode.

In Season 18, the power level requirement for Grandmasters is 1,620, and due to the competitive mode, every player is strictly limited to 1,595 power level. A downside that presents a considerable challenge, as you can be one-shot by almost everything, and cover is essential.

In Season 18, the following Grandmaster strikes are available. Completing all of them earns you the title “Conqueror” and belongs to the most experienced players in Destiny 2.

Glassway, on the icy moon Europa
The Light Blade, Savathun’s Throne World
Fallen S.A.B.E.R – Cosmodrome, Earth
Fallen from Grace – Cosmodrome, Earth
Exodus Crash – Nessus
The Devil’s Lair – Cosmodrome, Earth

Here’s how you can start the Grandmaster Nightfall and earn the title:

In addition to the PvE endgame, there will also be new regular playlist options after the weekly reset. We will show you what they are so that you know what today’s rotation includes.

The key information about activities from September 27 to October 4.

Strike: Nightfall – The Crucible

The Nightfall: The Crucible is the strike:

The Glassway, on the moon Europa
- Elsie Bray requests the Guardians’ help to stop the Vex from advancing on Europa. Get ready and defeat the Transcendent Mind again in the Nightfall.

This is the Nightfall weapon of the week: As a reward for your run, you will always receive a special Nightfall weapon. In Season 18, Bungie offers some good old options.

This week, you can earn the kinetic hand cannon T.V.O.

The adept version of the Nightfall weapon can be earned today on “Grandmaster” difficulty.

Playlist strikes have the following modifiers this week:

Arc Burn
Grenadier
Grounded
The burn modifier accompanies you all week, while the others change daily.

Endgame: Raid Challenges and Dungeon Rotation

What’s happening in the raid “Kingsfall”:

Last week started the second challenge in the Kingsfall Raid “Sneaky Theft”. In week three, however, expect a new challenge called “Surprised Look” against the Shriekers.

In the “Surprised Look” challenge, players must stand in one of the reclaimed Light pools during the fight against the ogre Golgoroth when switching the buff “Golgoroth’s Look”.

Those wanting progress toward the Triumph seal must also complete the challenge on Grandmaster difficulty to receive the Sparrow “Ossein-Debris”.

Here are the requirements and challenges you can expect:

In normal mode, completing a challenge brings you double loot.
The requirement for each encounter for Grandmasters is a power level of 1600 with champions.
Only from Grandmaster raid do you get status-specific gear and master weapons.
You can earn new raid-exclusive exotics in the Oryx look in the Grandmaster as well.

Additionally, you can earn:

In the raid “Garden of Salvation” on the Moon
As well as in the Legacy Dungeon “Prophecy” while seeking the secret of darkness

Petra Venj can be found in the Rheasilvia area in the Dreaming City. The whole zone has a 3rd curse week. The 4th Ascendant Challenge needs to be mastered.

Sources for top loot in Season 18 of Destiny 2

This is the new max level: In the new season of the Looters, the maximum power level of your gear is 1,580. This means the power level at the start of the new Season 18 has increased by +10 compared to the previous Season 17. All players receive the base power level of 1,350.

Here’s how to get free loot: For all new and old Guardians who want to play in the future or after a break, Bungie has prepared “The Gift of the Thunder Gods” in Season 18.

You can pick up this loot box for free in the H.E.L.M. after completing the campaign “New Light”. It raises you to a power level of up to 1540 or more – with Arc gear and weapons, as well as two Exotics and ten Legendary items. The rewards can also be picked up once for all your characters.

FIFA 23: Title Update 1 is here – Patch aims to help with PC problems

Max Handwerk 4. October 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

The first FIFA 23 update has been released. However, the patch notes are not aimed at gameplay but are supposed to resolve PC issues.

What kind of update is this? Title Update 1 for FIFA 23 is now available for the PC version of FIFA 23 – via Origin, the EA App, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.

Players on PC can access the update now.

What about the consoles? Typically, updates for FIFA are released first for PC before they land on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

In this case, it is expected that the patch remains PC-exclusive in this form. It primarily addresses issues that complicated the release of FIFA 23 on PC.

FIFA 23 Patch Notes: This update aims to resolve these issues

What does the FIFA 23 patch bring? In the patch notes (via EASF Tracker), EA Sports addresses several error messages that PC players have encountered since the launch of FIFA 23. These include:

“Failure to update process”
“Can’t start system service”
“The application has encountered an unrecoverable error”

These error messages are now said to be resolved. Additionally, another issue has been fixed:

“A stability issue has been resolved that could occur when a device with force-feedback was connected to the PC while the title was being played.”

Such devices can be controller with rumble functions, for example. Many players primarily use controllers for FIFA, and there have been complaints about stability issues – it is possible that the patch helps in that regard.

Are all issues resolved with this? That is still uncertain, but for example, the “anticheat error,” which hindered many players from starting the game, is only briefly mentioned in the patch notes.

There, a help article is linked that collects workarounds for some of the error messages. You can find the link here (via EA Help). It also points out that you should reinstall EA Anticheat or run the EA App or Origin “as Administrator” by selecting the corresponding option via right-click on the app.

Under Windows 11, you should also use “Secure Boot” to start FIFA 23.

What about gameplay updates? The first Title Update for FIFA 23 currently lacks any updates on gameplay. It is assumed that sooner or later, gameplay patches will also be released – at least that has been the case in previous years.

For now, gameplay remains at its known state.

How is FIFA 23 running on your PC? Are you still having problems, or is the game working for you? Let us know in the comments.

On Steam, the issues have so far resulted in quite negative ratings for FIFA 23.

Destiny 2 Update 6.2.0.7 on 04.10. – All Patch Notes and Information

Britta ♤ BeAngel 4. October 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

Destiny 2 will receive a regular Tuesday downtime today. MeinMMO will guide you through the maintenance and let you know when you can’t play and especially what changes Bungie is planning.

What you need to know today: After Bungie apologized for unplanned bans due to human error over the weekend, players can expect another typically short Tuesday maintenance today.

This means the servers will go offline for a short time this evening, and Bungie will release the planned update 6.2.0.7 online. MeinMMO will accompany you through the hotfix and continuously update this article with fresh information. So stay tuned for the latest updates.

Update log for Update 6.2.0.7:

19:30: Bungie has just released the patch notes. You will find the link further down in the article.

19:10: Stabilization successful. Destiny 2 is back online. In our article about the weekly reset, you’ll find everything that awaits you this week in the game as always.

19:05: Due to increased network traffic, Destiny 2’s services are still affected. There is a queue during login until Bungie services stabilize again. Also, the API services from third parties are still not all reachable again.

19:00: The servers are back online. The new update 6.2.0.7 is 192.8 MB on PC. As soon as we have the patch notes, we will link them further down in the article.

18:45: The servers have just gone offline. From now on, if everything goes as planned, you won’t be able to log in for 15 minutes.

18:00: Bungie has started maintenance in the background. From now on, you have 45 minutes to complete your activities in Destiny 2. Then the servers will go down.

Guardians need to briefly interrupt their current pirate life in Season 18 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC, and Google Stadia for hotfix 6.2.0.7.

Autoplay

Maintenance on 04.10. – All times and server downtime

Bungie has published a detailed schedule for players, so you are prepared and know when you won’t be able to play.

These times are important today:

At 18:00 German time, maintenance work will begin in the background on all platforms.
From 18:45, the servers will go offline and you will be automatically kicked from all activities.
Around 19:00 the servers are expected to be back online and update 6.2.0.7 will be rolled out for all platforms. You will then be able to log back in to play.
Even if the servers are back online, maintenance officially continues until 20:00.

It is important: Even if you have downloaded the update and are back in the game, there may still be connection issues until the end of maintenance at 20:00. You may also have to expect queues during login.

Also, keep in mind that third-party applications and the official companion app may not function correctly for a while after the update.

What’s changing with Update 6.2.0.7 in Season 18

What the update brings today: Bungie has already listed some known bugs on the patch list. These could be fixed today in the new update 6.2.0.7.

Loading times in the Tower have improved somewhat but are still not perfect. Players still need to avoid the H.E.L.M. to bypass this bug. While Bungie continues to investigate the issue, players suspect it could be due to the numerous uncollected reputation rank engrams at NPC vendors.
For players who have not completed the introductory mission, incorrect wording will appear on the Season Pass for Season 18.
The “Hidden Compartment Crew” upgrade drops rewards with 1350 power.
The exotic helmet “Dusk Concert” is not displayed in the collection and is also not dropping in Lost Sectors anymore.
Name changes for players are still not customizable via bungie.net. Players are still waiting for the option to adjust their usernames multiple times instead of just once.
The shader “Damaged Flesh” is not applied to weapons, armor, and other items as intended.

If you encounter problems in the game yourself, it is recommended to report them directly via the official Bungie Help Forum to make the developers aware of them.

Patch Notes for Hotfix 6.2.0.7 in Destiny 2

What’s in the patch notes? Bungie publishes the comprehensive list of all changes for hotfix 6.2.0.6 in the form of patch notes.

New Witcher game with multiplayer is coming – Here is what we know so far about project „Sirius”

Max Handwerk 4. October 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

In a series of tweets, CD Projekt Red announced seven new games – 5 in the Witcher universe, plus a new Cyberpunk and something completely new. One of the Witcher games can apparently be played together.

What are these games? On Twitter, CD Projekt Red announced a whole array of games at once. Most of them revolve around the continuation of the Witcher series and were revealed with code names.

One of these games has been given the code name “Sirius” and could be interesting for multiplayer fans.

What is The Witcher Sirius? According to a tweet from CD Projekt Red, Sirius will take place in the Witcher universe and differentiate itself from “previous productions.” Therefore, it is to be expected that it is not an AAA RPG, but a different type of game.

It is known that it will offer multiplayer gameplay – in addition to a single-player experience. It is said to feature a campaign full of quests and story.

It is also clear that CD Projekt Red is not acting as the developer, but the studio “The Molasses Flood”: This belongs to CD Projekt Red and will take over development. The studio has previously developed two games:

“The Flame in the Flood” – a raft survival adventure. This is what it looks like:

And “Drake Hollow” – this is what it looks like:

Both games look completely different from the major Witcher games. How exactly “Sirius” will shape up remains to be seen. It is also unclear which characters we will encounter and at what time in the Witcher timeline it takes place. The “Witcher universe” offers many possibilities after all.

6 More games announced – With Witcher trilogy and Cyberpunk

In addition to the Witcher game with multiplayer, a whole host of games have been announced. We will briefly introduce them here.

Witcher Polaris: Witcher Polaris is the first game of the new Witcher saga – the “new saga” that was already mentioned in March 2022.

It had also already been announced that there would be multiple games. Now it is clear: This will be a complete new trilogy. According to CD Projekt Red on Twitter, after Polaris, two more Witcher games will form the new AAA RPG trilogy.

So, three titles are already lined up for the Witcher future.

Witcher Canis Majoris: Here CD Projekt Red speaks of a “full” Witcher game, which is supposed to take place apart from the “new” trilogy. It will be developed by an external studio, but led by developers who worked on earlier Witcher games.

Cyberpunk 2077 – Orion: This will be the next Cyberpunk title that is supposed to continue the franchise. This is fitting, as the game is currently gaining traction on Steam – also, because of a new Netflix series about Cyberpunk.

Hadar: Lastly, CD Projekt Red announced another project called “Hadar” that is supposed to represent a completely new IP. This is currently being built from scratch at CDPR and is still in the early creative development phase. No game is being developed yet – only conceptualized.

Which of the projects are you most excited about? Are you curious about what the multiplayer game might look like? Or are you more inclined to dive into the single-player RPGs? Let us know in the comments!

New World: How to unlock the tent camp at rank 2 and the higher ranks

Alexander Leitsch 4. October 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

The campsite in New World serves as a place where you can regenerate health points, respawn, or craft items. It is practically beneficial to upgrade campsites and unlock additional options. We at MeinMMO reveal how to do it and what an additional rank brings.

How do you get the campsite? You will receive the tier 1 campsite at level 5. There you will get a quest to build the campsite.

From then on, you can set it up anywhere outside of towns and landmarks. You just need to press the “Z” key and require 5 greenwood and 1 flint. Also with “Z” you can dismantle the campsite and set it up elsewhere.

What do you need the campsite for? The campsite is particularly useful before difficult quests, as you can respawn directly at the campsite after dying – but only if you died within a 500-meter range.

Additionally, you can settle there to regenerate health points for free. Very simple crafting is also possible.

Upgrading campsite to rank 2 – Here’s how

How do you get the campsite rank 2? To get the campsite at rank 2, you must first reach level 15. After that, you will receive the quest “Same Fashion Taste” from Bercina Thornton in the city of Everfall.

After completing this, you will receive the campsite at rank 2.

What do you have to do for the quest? For this quest, you need to go and collect 12 torn silk pieces from skeletons in Ascension. The enemies are level 17.

After that, you need to travel to Everfall and turn in the quest there.

What does the campsite at rank 2 provide? The upgrade brings 2 advantages:

The campsite becomes visually nicer, and instead of a tent, you get a small wooden shed.
You can craft higher potions and better food.

The upgrade is not strictly necessary, but it offers some minor advantages.

Upgrading campsite to rank 3, 4, and 5

What comes next? Those who want to further upgrade the campsite can do so over time:

Campsite rank 3 you get for reaching level 25 and through the quest “Animal Instincts”.
Campsite rank 4 you get for reaching level 40 and through the quest “Survivalist Wolf Observations”.
Campsite rank 5 you get for reaching level 55 and through the quest “Survivalist Fading Light”.

Here too, the higher ranks bring new looks and further options for crafting.

How do you like upgrading the campsites? Is this an important expansion for you?

MMORPG Guild Wars 2 changes ancient PvP mode, players praise: “That’s why I’m coming back”

Mark Sellner 4. October 2022 Reading time 4 minutes

The developers of Guild Wars 2 have presented their roadmap for the rest of the year. In addition to the usual events, there are also two major changes affecting the WvW, a mass PvP mode. This has been particularly well received by fans.

What has been announced? In a roadmap, ArenaNet, the developer team behind the MMORPG Guild Wars 2, shares what is still coming this year. The game is freshly launched on Steam, which is why the multitude of events is particularly exciting for new players.

For veterans, extensive balance changes in PvE and WvW await, a new strike mission, and the next beta of the new WvW features. Especially the latter is very well received by fans. Some would even return just for that. You can read the complete roadmap and all information directly at Guild Wars 2 (via Guild Wars 2).

There was also a new trailer for the Steam release:

Start video

Guild Wars 2 celebrates the release on Steam – Shows in the trailer what you can get there

Autoplay

What exactly is the WvW? Before we delve into the details, it is important to clarify what the mentioned WvW actually is. The abbreviation simply stands for World versus World. A mass PvPvE mode that has been around for a long time in Guild Wars 2 and enjoys great popularity.

In this mode, three servers compete against each other in matches lasting 7 days on a special map. Points are earned by holding specific buildings, control points, and towers. You must capture these with siege weapons.

Not only the enemy players stand in your way, but also strong NPC opponents defending the buildings for their team. The excitement occurs when two or even three groups of players clash. This can result in battles with over 200 players, making the mode very popular, even beyond the MMORPG’s player base.

Restructuring is finally coming, entering the 6th test phase

What was the issue in WvW? Many players have long been bothered by the fact that in WvW, servers truly compete against each other. This sounds strange to fans of other MMORPGs, but in Guild Wars 2, it makes perfect sense because the server you play on is irrelevant outside of WvW.

Thanks to the mega-server technology used by GW2, players from all servers can always play together. This makes server selection irrelevant, and communities, guilds, and friendships form across different servers.

However, it becomes problematic when those people want to play WvW. Suddenly, your server does matter, and you may not be able to play with the people you always play with. In the worst case, you might even have to play against them.

This has led to a player decline in WvW over the years, which is still noticeable today. A restructuring was announced years ago that should allow server-crossing alliances to be established and compete in WvW.

What is happening now? For years, there has been silence about the planned changes in WvW, but in 2020, they began to take shape. So far, 5 betas have taken place regarding the extensive restructuring, and the 6th beta is set to start in October.

If this goes well—at least some fans think—we could be looking at a big update in 2023. Coinciding with the beta, Guild Wars 2 will also implement major balance changes to classes that will affect WvW.

The well-known GW2 YouTuber MightyTeapot has analyzed the WvW changes in detail if you want to dive deeper into the topic:

Recommended editorial content

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

I consent to external content being displayed to me. Personal data can be transmitted to third party platforms. Read more about our privacy policy.

Fans are looking forward to the update – “If they do it well, I will immediately stop playing BDO”

How are the fans reacting? If you take a look around on reddit, it’s quickly clear that people are genuinely looking forward to the restructuring. However, some approach it with skepticism. Often, it’s not the changes themselves that are doubted.

Much more, the release is uncertain. Previous betas have often gone awry or had to be canceled. Nevertheless, everyone agrees on the fact that the changes would be great when they finally arrive.

Some comments in a reddit thread that covers the topic provide a deeper insight:

Huge_Chocolate says: “If they do the restructuring right, they could pull a lot of players from ESO and BDO. The modes in those games have massive player shortages because the developers barely care. This could be really interesting.”
KittenSpronkles writes: “I would immediately return for a bit of WvW action. I’m just not playing Guild Wars 2 right now because my server in WvW isn’t very active.”
Vaeiy92 says: “I would leave Black Desert immediately if ArenaNet finally brings the right WvW update.”

Other changes are also well received: In addition to the WvW, further notes in ArenaNet’s roadmap are praised. About every 3 weeks, an update for Guild Wars 2 is set to be released. Old events will return, a brand new strike mission for 10 players will debut, and some balance changes are in the works.

What do you personally think about it? Feel free to let us know in the comments here at MeinMMO.

Also, the balance updates are urgently needed, as one single class is currently dominating the MMORPG – “I would play something else, but it’s pointless”

Twitch streamer yells at his wife for looting too long – viewers laugh at him

Dariusz Müller 4. October 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

A Twitch streamer screamed at his wife and has now received a lot of criticism. The trigger for the streamer’s behavior was that she looted for too long in Apex Legends while he was engaged in a battle with other players.

Who is this about?

officialglockoma is a Twitch streamer with 1,330 followers
The wife of the Twitch streamer, referred to in the info section of his channel as “Mrs gLockoma”

What happened? The streamer officialglockoma was playing the battle royale shooter Apex Legends with his wife and streaming live on Twitch.

During the stream, there was a fight with opposing players who eliminated the streamer. According to the streamer’s statements, the players had already been engaged in a fight with other players before the confrontation. His plan was likely to not allow the winners to loot and to jump into the fight as a third party.

As a result of his in-game death, the streamer blamed his wife, who he believed should have helped him in the fight. However, she was not yet in the building during the confrontation because she was still looting outside.

The streamer then turned to his wife, who was seen behind him in the frame of his camera during the clip, and yelled at her loudly. During his outburst, he blamed her for his failure.

Streamer yells: “You keep doing this over and over again”

What did he ‘say’ to his wife? The streamer officialglockoma asked his wife in a raised voice: “What were you doing outside? Were you looting?”

As he spoke, the streamer became increasingly loud, even took off his headset, and shouted at her: “It doesn’t take that long! So you looted?! There are enemies in there that are being fought. Why are you letting them loot?”

Before his wife could respond, he continued his outburst: “You keep doing this over and over again. You allow people to loot… I don’t understand it!”

Afterward, the clip continues for a few more seconds. He said she was taking her time and asked his wife in an equally loud and condescending tone if she forgot that there was a fight going on.

Reddit laughs at the streamer: On Reddit, there are some users who make fun of the streamer due to his behavior in connection with his gaming skills.

Chess: Players now see cheaters everywhere – After controversy over world champion vs. 19-year-old Twitch streamer

Marius Mach 4. October 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

Since a 19-year-old Twitch streamer allegedly cheated in a chess game against world champion Magnus Carlson in a very curious way, the chess world has been upside down. Even in the hobby sector, more and more players are complaining about cheaters.

Why is everyone talking about chess right now? As part of a tournament, there was a chess match between the current world champion Magnus Carlson and the 19-year-old Twitch streamer Hans Niemann. Then something happened that many observers are still puzzled by: Grandmaster Magnus Carlson lost the game after 57 moves.

Carlson had previously been undefeated for 53 games, but in this match, he made several mistakes. Carlson, who played with white in this round, found himself forced to resign. He was left with only one bishop against two pawns and a knight in a hopeless situation. You can follow the game move by move here (via chessgame.com).

Niemann, also a grandmaster at the age of 19, was nonetheless considered an underdog by most observers. His surprising success caused quite a stir in the global chess community.

Netflix series “The Queen’s Gambit” has contributed to the chess hype:

First a sensation – now a scandal

After his loss, Magnus Carlson ended his participation in the tournament but shortly afterward returned with an ominous tweet. Without explicitly commenting, he hinted that Niemann may have cheated.

Although there were security measures against cheating attempts at this chess tournament, it didn’t take long for the first and admittedly quite crazy speculations to arise about how Niemann might have cheated. For example, there’s a theory circulating that Niemann may have used a neural implant to gain an unfair advantage.

The world champion subsequently stated that he would not compete against Hans Niemann in the future because he is a cheater. You can read the entire statement here (via twitter.com).

Incident sparks interest and encourages imitators

It is likely thanks to the controversy surrounding Carlson and Niemann’s games that chess is currently receiving a lot of media attention again. The crazy theories about how Niemann could have cheated certainly contribute significantly to this.

In recent years, chess has become increasingly popular among young people. Niemann is by no means the only chess professional on Twitch. So it is no surprise that the platform chess.com records an influx of 50,000 new players daily (via chess.com).

In a post on their website, they also discuss how prevalent cheating is in online chess. The platform reportedly bans about 800 accounts suspected of cheating daily. About 6 percent of all support requests reportedly relate to cheating and fraud.

Twitch is not only in the spotlight for cheating scandals:

Since the platform’s inception, about 500,000 accounts have been banned for cheating. The operators suspect this number could double by 2023. However, this does not mean that all the banned accounts used third-party software to gain an advantage. Common reasons for bans also include players who manipulated their ELO rating or otherwise violated the fair play rules.

However, the platform warns that cheating paranoia can also have negative effects on the community. Not every suspicion of cheating will ultimately prove true. Thus, it is important to prevent a culture of distrust. Chess.com assures that they are doing everything possible to ensure fair competition. They have invested heavily in technology to monitor cheating attempts and automate account bans.

Has all the fuss around chess sparked your interest? Or do cheaters deter you from trying online chess? Feel free to leave us a comment!

Cheating happens not only in chess: In Call of Duty, Twitch streamers are regularly accused of cheating.

Fortnite: Patch Notes for Update 22.10 on October 4 – New Weapon Cobra DMR

Patrick Freese 4. October 2022 Reading time 5 minutes

In Fortnite, today, October 4th, Patch 22.10 has been played on the servers of all platforms (PC, Mac, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch, Android). The patch notes for the update can be found here.

What is happening today in Fortnite? Patch 22.10 has been played on the servers. There were maintenance works during which Fortnite was offline and you could not play.

We updated this article for you at 12:50 PM with the contents from update 22.10.

Patch Notes for Patch 22.10 on October 4th

New Weapon: The new Cobra DMR is now available. The weapon has a long range and combines this with a high rate of fire. In Battle Royale, you can find it on the ground, in chests, and supply drops, as well as by fishing, looting sharks, and the fruit of a reality seedling.

The regular DMR is now in the vault.

New Chests: The new Holo Chests are new containers in Fortnite that you can unlock. You need a key to open a Holo Chest. As a hologram, the chests show what is inside them before you unlock them. This way, you can be sure to open such a chest when something useful is waiting inside.

There are also exotic Holo Chests that are stocked with exotic items. For this, you need two keys.

Grappler Glove: The grappler glove from Chapter 3 Season 3 is back in Fortnite. The Fortnite team explains how the item works.

Shoot the grappling hook into a hard surface like a cliff, object, or building to start swinging. The first three times you swing, you will get faster; after that, you will reach top speed.

If you miss and land on the ground, you have a short window of time to use the grappling hook again and continue swinging. If you slide out of swinging, this window is even larger, so just try out some combinations of swinging and sliding!

Don’t worry if time runs out – after a short cooldown, the grappler glove is ready to use again. When the grappler glove is ready again, swing back up into the air… Or maybe you need something that’s out of reach – the grappling hook can also be used to pull items towards you! Shoot the grappling hook until your grappler glove runs out of charges.

Where can you find the glove? The grappler glove is no longer in toolbox items. You can find it on the ground, in chests, supply drops, and as the fruit of a legendary or mythical reality seedling.

Superlevel Styles from Chapter 3 Season 4

Where are the styles? Under “Bonus Rewards” in the Battle Pass, you can find the Superlevel styles of this season starting October 6th at 15:00 CEST (German Summer Time). So far, there have been bonus styles for this season’s Battle Pass.

How to unlock the bonus styles? Those who make progress beyond level 140 in Chapter 3 Season 4 will unlock the styles Cosmic, Spectral, and Noble for Bytes, Lennox Rose, Paradigm (Reality-659), Bone Cat, and Spider-Gwen.

Other Updates from Patch 22.10

Boogie bombs have been sent to the vault for competitive and other game modes.
Most one-handed pickaxes like Gumdrop and Sun Smasher were previously equipped by flying into the player’s hand. With v.22.10, there is a new equipping animation.
If you missed it: We recently released a gameplay balance hotfix affecting EvoChrome shotguns and EvoChrome repeaters:
- Their availability as ground loot has been increased.
- Uncommon, rare, epic, and legendary versions can now be found in chrome chests and regular chests.
- The damage required to upgrade an EvoChrome weapon at each rarity level has now been significantly reduced.
Competitive:

The grappler glove is not available in competitive game modes.
If you missed it: The Ranger shotgun was recently added to competitive game modes.
Bug Fixes:

Players can now consistently navigate their inventory using the left stick of their controller.
A bug was fixed that caused the map to switch to the map tab by default, even when the quests tab was open before closing.
Lennox Rose’s hair no longer obscures the crosshair when crouching.
Players should no longer get stuck when jumping through chrome buildings at Herald’s Sanctum.
Chrome building parts now lose the graphical effect “caught fire” when the fire is out.
A bug was fixed that caused the graphics and screen effects of a chrome vortex to persist under certain circumstances.
The button “Reset to last saved position” in the HUD layout tool on mobile devices resets all buttons to their last saved position again.
A bug was fixed that caused hair to clip through headgear on multiple outfits.
Blackheart’s character display now appears again on the minimap.
The storm notification no longer appears in the center of the screen.

These were all the changes from Patch 22.10 on October 4th for Fortnite.

Continuing with the original article on the server downtime:

How long are the Fortnite servers offline on October 4th?

Downtime started early: Since around 11:00 PM on October 3rd, the Fortnite servers have been offline. This is significantly earlier than the usual downtime for updates, which typically starts only on patch day. Shortly after the sudden downtime, Epic Games announced on Twitter:

“Due to an error, we are starting downtime earlier. Update 22.10 will still be released on October 4th. We will let you know when the downtime is over.”

Link to the Twitter content

Originally, the servers were supposed to go offline at 10:00 AM German time (04:00 ET, 08:00 UTC). Matchmaking was supposed to end half an hour earlier.

When can you play again? The servers are usually offline during such maintenance for several hours, and playing is then not possible. The downtime is expected to last between 30 minutes and 2 hours. This has been shown by the updates over the past weeks.

Whether Epic Games will release the patch earlier due to the earlier downtime is questionable. We assume that you can get back on the servers by noon if the issue from October 3rd has been resolved by then.

There may also be issues with the new Patch 22.10 that could extend the waiting time. As soon as there is new information from the Fortnite team, we will update this article for you.

When will the patch notes be released? Epic Games has been publishing little to no patch notes for a while. However, community members often quickly find and share the changes. When important changes come, we will add them to the article for you.

What do leaks say about Update 22.10?

What can you expect from the update: In recent years, ShiinaBR has made a name for himself in the Fortnite community. Before larger updates, the Twitter account predicts what will change content-wise and has correctly leaked patch notes in advance.

For the new update, it is said in a tweet:

Super Styles for the Battle Pass
New weapon “Explosive Goo Gun”
Boogie Bombs go into the vault
Chrome continues to spread across the map
New weekly challenges
New leaks for the Halloween event “Fortnitemares”?
New info about Luke Skywalker?

Now we must wait and see which of the contents will actually come into the game and how long the downtime will last today. Do you have a content you are particularly looking forward to in the update?

Have you seen this action from the developers? Players say that Fortnite is a dead game – Epic Games trolls them with a skin.

The best quest of WoW WotLK Classic is playable again after a serious bug – Blizzard releases hotfix

Benedict Grothaus 4. October 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

The Gate of Wrath is still considered one of the best quests in World of Warcraft. After the release of Wrath of the Lich King, there were issues completing it in WoW Classic. Blizzard has now implemented a solution.

What kind of quest is it? The Gate of Wrath is an epic quest line in the Dragonblight, an area for players starting at level 71. The quest line takes you throughout the area and sometimes beyond, to dragons, undead, and officers of your faction.

After much preparation, you finally encounter the Lich King Arthas Menethil in Northrend in an epic battle, facing him along with his undead scourge.

The epic cinematic for the Gate of Wrath shows the battle’s proceedings as well as the unexpected ending. Blizzard created this video as the first in-game cinematic overall, which is one of the reasons why the quest line is so iconic today.

If you haven’t reached this point yet, but are interested in how the battle ends or just want to see the video again, we have the cinematic for you:

Autoplay

What was the problem? After the battle at the Gate of Wrath, the conflict between Horde and Alliance flares up again – to the extent that both factions encounter each other in Undercity. However, Blizzard warned that this step should not be completed.

The assault on Undercity occurs in two instanced versions of Orgrimmar and Undercity. However, the battle itself could not be completed, and players could no longer visit the “normal” versions of the cities.

For Alliance players, this was not a problem, but Horde players lost access to two important cities. However, with a hotfix on October 3rd, the issue has now been resolved.

We tested it: On the night of October 4th, we completed the quest on the Alliance side and were able to claim the rewards without any problems. If issues persist, the NPC Zidormi can take you back to the non-instanced versions of the cities.

Hotfix makes the Gate of Wrath playable again

What’s included in the hotfix? Specifically, the following changes are noted in the Bluepost in the forum:

The battle for Undercity should function correctly
The portals to Undercity in Stormwind should appear correctly during “It’s Time to Strike” and “A Royal Coup”
Living Bomb should no longer force mages into combat after it expires or is removed
Mr. Floppy should no longer remain dead in the quest “Mr. Floppy’s Dangerous Adventure”
The quest “A Righteous Preaching” was changed. Now multiple players should have their progress counted when they hear Inquisitor Hallard’s preaching
NPCs for the fishing tournament in Stranglethorn Vale should appear more reliably

Especially the change to “A Righteous Preaching” should please Alliance players, as huge crowds of players have sometimes gathered in the dungeon trying to complete the quest.

The quest is needed to visit the Gate of Wrath and was therefore quite popular. The bottleneck was correspondingly frustrating, especially since some players feel they are overall too slow:
