WoW: Tyrande’s Fate in Dragonflight – Night Elf fans need to be very strong now

Cortyn 12. August 2022 Reading time 4 minutes

The story of the Night Elves from World of Warcraft continues in Dragonflight. It is time for new sacrifices – and they may not please everyone.

Many details of the story of the upcoming expansion Dragonflight are still uncertain. However, data miners are already busy scouring the game data of World of Warcraft for hints and details. Now a significant piece of the Night Elf story has been revealed, covering important characters like Tyrande, Malfurion, and Ysera. They must make a fateful decision…

Spoiler warning: This article discusses important details of the Dragonflight story. If you do not want to read spoilers, you should not continue here.

What is the status of the Night Elves? With the end of Shadowlands, the Night Elves received a new seed from the Winter Queen, which (presumably) will be used for a new World Tree. At the same time, Tyrande’s hunt for Sylvanas has ended, the green dragon Ysera exists as an awakened wild spirit in the Ardenweald, and Malfurion is still traveling on Azeroth.

A sacrifice for the green dragons: During Dragonflight, a fateful decision is made by the Night Elves. The green dragonflight apparently needs help and is reliant on the return of Ysera – but she is trapped in the Shadowlands. Already in Patch 9.2.5, it was said that Ysera might one day return to Azeroth, but that will require “a great price.” Now this price is known:

Malfurion Stormrage.

For Ysera to return to Azeroth, Malfurion must take her place in the Ardenweald. At least this is indicated by a dialogue that likely belongs to an in-game cutscene.

We have translated the relevant dialogue between the two here for you:

Tyrande: Ysera, your flight needs you.
We need you.
Whatever the price for your return to Azeroth is, name it.
Malfurion: Tyrande …
Tyrande: Tell us!
Malfurion: I am.
I am the one who must stay behind.
Tyrande: What?
Malfurion: Ysera knows this – but she would never ask me to.
Tyrande: No.
We will find another way.
Malfurion: When she gave her life for me in Val’sharah, her time had not yet come.
And now … the balance must be restored.
Tyrande: Then … then I will stay as well.
Shandris and the others can …
Malfurion: Tyrande …
If everything we hope for happens, then the Kaldorei will need you.
Tyrande: I am so tired, Malfurion.
Do not ask that of me.
After all we have endured …
Malfurion: My love.
You have always been the strength of our people.
They will follow you forever, and you will never be alone.
Tyrande: Until we meet again …
I will dream of the night when we can finally rest … together.

Why is this happening? Malfurion is, like Tyrande as a Night Warrior, one of the most powerful beings on Azeroth. Although this has been mainly shown in stories (such as the “War of Thorns” and books), the Archdruid Malfurion is so powerful that the Horde as a whole fears him.

At the same time, there are also slight reasons to find why Malfurion is a candidate for this “exchange.” For one, it is true that Ysera was only corrupted by the Nightmare because Malfurion rushed in blind rage in Val’sharah. At the same time, however, Ysera has also been a mentor to Malfurion for a long time, as they have spent many years together in the Emerald Dream.

It is also important that the dialogue does not clearly indicate whether Malfurion actually dies or lives. It is quite possible that he stays as a mortal in the Ardenweald and, in his position as Archdruid, ensures that the forest regenerates alongside the Winter Queen. After all, a large part of the Ardenweald has died due to the Anima drought and needs to be cultivated anew.

Finally, this decision may also simply have narrative reasons. By sidelining a few current, very powerful characters, it creates more room for new characters who can come to the forefront – like Shandris in recent expansions.

However, keep in mind that this is merely datamining from the alpha. On the one hand, much could still change before the release, and on the other hand, important context is missing, such as from previous quest lines, which explains how this decision and sacrifice come about. It is easy to criticize something when you only know the outcome but not the path to it.

Assuming this story decision is final – what do you think about it? A good way to set Malfurion aside?

FIFA 23: Fans fear that a new change will make many strong cards either useless or too expensive

Julian Schröder 12. August 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

In FIFA 23 Ultimate Team there will be the biggest changes since the start of the FUT mode, but many fans are already worried about important cards.

What is changing in FUT 23? Yesterday, on August 11, 2022, EA announced a major change for the FUT mode of the upcoming FIFA 23. The old chemistry system will be completely discarded and replaced with a new, more flexible system.

In short, it works like this:

No more connections between players standing next to each other on the pitch.
Players gain chemistry through identical leagues, nationality, or club – position does not matter.
There are 3 chemistry levels per card and no more negative effects.

A detailed explanation of the new system can be found here:

More on the topic

FIFA 23 dares to make the biggest change in years for FUT – This is how crazy your teams will be

von Max Handwerk

Fans see major issues for Icon cards

In the reddit thread by Queen_LaFIFA (via reddit), fans are extensively discussing the new chemistry system. The big question: What will happen to the Icon cards in FUT 23?

Because in FIFA 23 Ultimate, they function differently than before. While they still have unique chemistry properties, they no longer provide as many benefits to the team as in previous editions, where they supplied chemistry to every adjacent player.

In FUT 23, they boost the chemistry of players with the same nationality and count as two players themselves, allowing countrymen to receive 2 chemistry points.

Why some Icon cards could be useless: It is argued that legends from less popular football nations, such as Puskas (Hungary), Eto’o (Cameroon), Best (Northern Ireland), Litmanen (Finland), Hagi (Romania), and Giggs (Wales), might not play a significant role in the FUT mode of FIFA 23.

While they still play at full chemistry, they no longer provide a chemistry boost to their teammates unless they share the same nationality. And that is not so simple with the above-mentioned players.

It is therefore quite possible that a whole bunch of Icon cards will become significantly less attractive because they simply cannot generate extra chemistry for certain teams.

Why many Icon cards could become unaffordable: In addition, fans suspect that icons from popular nations like Brazil or France could become extremely expensive or even unaffordable. Because they would work particularly well in the new chemistry system, as they can boost the many top cards from these nations.

What do you think about the new chemistry system? Are you looking forward to it? Feel free to let us know in the comments! And our complete overview of the FIFA 23 release can be found here.

Destiny 2 makes good Exotics even better in Season 18 – Guardians are already dreaming of ultimate lightning builds

Britta ♤ BeAngel 12. August 2022 Reading time 6 minutes

It was supposed to be a short, dry sandbox blog that Destiny 2 published yesterday. But it immediately got players excited. Not only because it brings additional benefits to some popular Exotics, but also because it announces the “most generally positive change” in a long time. MeinMMO tells you what has got the Guardians so excited.

What did Bungie announce in the latest blog? First of all, it is now definitely confirmed that the new Arc 3.0 abilities will go live in Season 18. With this, Bungie integrates the last abilities upgrade and completes the overhaul of the three Light classes. Bungie shows its players first details in the showcase on August 23.

But the “This Week at Bungie” blog had even more good news to offer. We have already analyzed it, summarize its highlights here and say which weapons you should definitely grab before Season 18.

Season 18 brings general buffs for unpopular weapons

On August 23, at the start of Season 18, scout rifles and heavy grenade launchers will initially receive a general damage bonus. Lightweight bows and 360 auto rifles get a nice boost. And glaives also hit harder, as they are buffed in melee combat and can also activate the melee perks of exotic armor in Season 18.

They then trigger with the Titan exotic “ACD/0 Feedback Fence” and with the Warlock exotics “Karnstein Armlets” and “Necrotic Grip”.

That alone sounds like a lot of Arc fun with fists and toxic, necrotic glaives. But Bungie packed even more into its Season 18 update. So Destiny 2 finally gets significant improvements for several, somewhat neglected, exotic weapons:

Including the bows “Wishender” and “Ticc’s Divination”, the hand cannon “Sins of the Past”, the shotgun “Legend of Acrius”, the grenade launcher “Lion’s Roar”, and the auto rifle “Workhorse”.
Additionally, intrinsic champion perks for exotic weapons from Season 18:
- The exotic bow “Le Monarque” and the exotic machine gun “Thunderlord” receive intrinsic perks against Overload champions.
- The exotic hand cannon “Sins of the Past” can stop Unstoppable champions.
- And the prettiest bow in Destiny 2 “Wishender” receives anti-barrier arrows.

Momentum for some dusty exotic weapons

Bungie ensures with this update that you should definitely consider pulling out a few dusty Arc Exotics.

Just the weapon upgrade for the Arc exotic “Thunderlord” could become a really strong endgame option in Season 18. If perhaps even a catalyst is introduced that brings a few more rounds into the magazine, this machine gun would dominate and electrify the game and your enemies.

But the exotic shotgun “Legend of Acrius” could also become the star of the new meta in Destiny 2. Here Bungie packs the additional perk “Rifled Barrel” into the catalyst, which means a damage bonus of an enormous 50% for three consecutive shots after a successful melee. With the Titan Exotics “Synthoceps” or the Hunter Exotic “Hand of the Liars”, that would be a really nasty combination for any of your opponents.

Comeback of the “King of Grenade Launchers”: Then there was this briefly mentioned note at the end that Bungie is giving heavy grenade launchers a damage boost of 10% against Majors, i.e. enemies with a yellow health bar, in Season 18. That sounds like a good reason to bring more “Anarchy” back into Destiny 2. With the necessary momentum from the Arc 3.0 upgrade, bosses could again be brought to their knees in a chain of devastating Arc strikes.

Just that has some Guardians already on reddit dreaming about fantastic new build combinations with Arc and the synergies with old Exotics.

Damn. There are many great changes here. Glaives that work with melee Exotics and exotic weapons that work with anti-champion perks? […]
writes the player kallemacd via reddit

More on the topic

Destiny 2 will soon nerf one of the best Exotics – Enjoy the weapon while you can

von Sven Galitzki

A few additional perks are also available: Bungie was not satisfied with the origin perks of Gambit and Iron Banner yet. So they have reworked both.

The Gambit origin trait “Invader Tracker” is renamed to “Gun and Run”. In Season 18, it is supposed to increase your sprint speed on multi-kills.
And the Iron Banner origin trait “Cloak of the Wolf” grants you improved radar in Season 18 and helps you disappear from radar when you are at low health.

The current raid exotic “Collective Obligation” is getting a significant improvement.

The current raid exotic “Collective Obligation” from the “Oryx’s Vow” raid is being significantly improved so that it can finally shine in its exotic glory. Until now, it has been hardly relevant in the game. Bungie wants to change that and is putting a few stronger benefits into the pulse rifle for Season 18.

The timer of the exotic perk “Empty Riddle” will be increased to 15 seconds in PvE activities. (PvP remains at 10 seconds) and the cooldown will be completely removed.
You will also receive a 20% damage bonus against PvE combatants when Empty Riddle is active and will need fewer hits to fully charge the perk.
Kills against weakened targets recharge it instantly, as well as when you are afflicted by a Leere debuff from an enemy.

These are the most important changes for PvP

In PvP, there are criticisms and changes that many players have already demanded and are now very welcome. Finally, in Season 18, the muzzle on the exotic shotgun “Lord of Wolves” is coming. This should put an end to the howling and also the overly advantageous combinations with certain exotic armor pieces. Overall, Bungie wants to turn “Lord of Wolves” into a well-behaved and more practical PvE Exotic.

To keep it obedient in PvP, it will receive the following adjustments:

In PvP you only have 10 shots instead of 15. (PvE unchanged) and deal ~20% less base damage. So only 35 per body shot in PvP, 44 when the exotic perk is activated)
When the exotic perk “Release the Wolves” is active, the burst, the shots per trigger, is reduced from 10 to 5, and a burst delay of 60% is added.
Enemies in PvE will have to take 20% more damage from “Lord of Wolves”.

In addition, the Western-style scout rifle “Tale of a Dead Man,” the Hunter’s exotic chest “Omnioculus,” and the Stasis aspect “Whispers of Chains” will receive a dampening tweak in PvP.

Bungie nerfs the exotic perk of “Tale of a Dead Man.” From Season 18, it will no longer increase damage against players but instead grant increased reload, aim assist, and range per stack. The catalyst will also deal 20% less damage per bullet but will have a fire rate of 180 with maximum stacks. In PvE, you still get the extra damage – nothing changes there.
For the exotic “Omnioculus” and the Stasis aspect “Whispers of Chains,” Bungie reduces the damage reduction in PvP to take away some of their team dominance.

In the future, Bungie plans to equip more Exotics with intrinsic traits against champions and also to give more attention to the burst rifles. Additionally, there are still a few other updates in Bungie’s latest announcement. If you need more information, you can find it on bungie.net.

What do you think of the changes? Could Destiny 2 also win over the German community with this? Feel free to leave us a comment about how you think about the changes and what the best adjustment is for you.

Players take an incredibly complicated path in an MMORPG just to properly wipe out protected noobs

Mark Sellner 12. August 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

In the German MMORPG Tibia (PC), some users discovered a bug that allowed them to return to the starting area along with their equipment and cause a lot of trouble there. We at MeinMMO summarize.

What kind of bug is this? A game error in Tibia allowed users to return to the starting area Dawnport along with their equipment. This bug was fixed by the developers in a hotfix, as it could have massive implications for new fans of the MMORPG.

Actually, you start the game in the city of Dawnport and the subsequent island of Rookgaard. You stay there until level 8, talk to an NPC to choose your class, and then proceed to the main continent of the MMORPG. After Dawnport, you never return. Theoretically, at least.

Because when you die in Tibia, you lose experience points and can even “down-level,” meaning you can actually drop back in level. If you die often enough to be between level 5 and 6, you will actually respawn in Dawnport after your death, completely naked and without your equipment.

This last part is especially important, as otherwise, you would disrupt the entire dynamic of the starting island. You could easily defeat all enemies, monsters, and NPCs in one blow and even attack and kill players who have already reached level 8 but are still in Dawnport.

But the curious bug made this possible. You could return to Dawnport with all your equipment and really shake things up there.

Tibia has been online since 1997 and is still being played. You can see four other titles in the video:

Autoplay

Huge effort just to bring back items

Who found the error? The user DarkGladir shared the bug on August 10 on reddit to gain the attention of the developers. The post was quickly deleted to prevent the bug from being exploited further.

The bug has since been fixed and the instructions can be found again on reddit. And they couldn’t be more complicated. Even though the island of Dawnport has been in the game for several years, the bug was only noticed now.

How did the bug work? Although the bug no longer works, we want to share how curious the effort was to exploit it. The following steps had to be taken in this order:

Attack any other player to get rid of the Blessing buff
Die enough times to reach level 6, specifically you had to have between 1500 and 1518 experience points
Purchase the Blessings Phoenix-Charm, Solitude-Charm, Spiritual-Charm, Twin Sun-Charm, Unity-Charm, and Twist of Fate
Lower your character to one life point and log out in a corner with a maximum of one square meter of space
Another player then had to activate PvP and throw two fields of fire on the square meter you logged out on. Also, another field of fire on an adjacent square meter
After that, the level 6 player had to log back in with 1 HP, at which point he would immediately die from the fire. Your character would then respawn in Dawnport with all your stuff and could even access the further beginner area, Rookgaard, through an NPC

“This is insane, how does one discover something like this?”

How does the community react? They are thrilled that such a bug can even be found. There is especially a lot of recognition for the players who discovered the bug and reported it to the developers. Others, however, complain about why it was still possible to cheat items into Dawnport after such a long time (via reddit).

Some fans are also worried about how many items have already been smuggled to the beginner islands through this bug and whether they could be pulled back out of circulation. A few people even attack the finder of the bug, Gladir, and claim that he exploited the bug before reporting it.

He only writes that he reported the bug on the first day he found it. However, he continued to experiment to find out exactly how to reproduce the error. Once he knew that, he reported it to the developers as well. But we can’t say who is right in the end.

What do you think about the whole situation? Are you also amazed at how such a bug can be found? Or rather angry that the bug is still in the game? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO.

Twitch streamer turns into a stick in Tower of Fantasy, jokes: “Now the enemy can no longer see me”

Lydia 12. August 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

The highly anticipated anime MMORPG Tower of Fantasy has been playable in the West since August 11th. As is common with new games, it still has some bugs. A Twitch streamer recently showcased a particularly absurd bug that evokes memories of Paper Mario.

What is Tower of Fantasy?

Tower of Fantasy is the latest gacha game in anime style
In contrast to the popular genre predecessor Genshin Impact, it is an MMORPG
The game is free-to-play and was released for PC, Android, and iOS

All information about the new MMORPG hit and a cool trailer can be found here:

Players share the most unusual bugs

Here’s how the launch went: There was a massive rush for the servers during its global launch on August 11, 2022. The game had over 4 million pre-registrations. This led to long wait times and frustration.

What’s the status now? More and more players are online, exploring the vast game world. They continuously encounter absurd bugs that they share on social media.

This is the craziest bug: Twitch streamer Robbert “SivHD” Eijndhoven, whom some of you may remember as a LoL YouTuber, showcased a particularly wild bug. You can check it out in this clip:

Recommended editorial content

At this point you will find external content from Twitch 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.

Link to the Twitch content

What’s behind the clip: One of SivHD’s weapons can transform into a turret in “Turret Mode.” Every time his character exits this mode, he seems to become slightly thinner. SivHD repeated this until his character was completely flattened.

In the side view, his character suddenly has a half-bald head. It gets really crazy when SivHD makes his character look straight ahead. Then, he is literally just a line in the landscape.

Here are the reactions: The chat laughed along with the streamer. Some jokingly said: “Slim Shady” or “Paper Tower.” When a viewer asked whether SivHD had lost his mind or if the discovery would contribute anything to the game, he joked:

It’s important! Because if I approach an enemy now, they won’t see me coming. […] I can sneak up on people.
SivHD via Twitch

How does the bug work? The exact cause of this phenomenon is not yet known. However, it seems to have something to do with the animation used when the character exits the turret mode. It seems to be slightly squished to create the impression of rapid movement.

What other bugs are there? Some players simply fall through the ground and end up under the map. Others catapult themselves directly into the endgame without bothering with the story. Still, others simply become very large.

This is what the developers say: Hotta Studio is aware of the issues and promises to work on solutions as quickly as possible. They thank players for their trust and announce compensation in the form of in-game currency. (via Tower of Fantasy)

Have you also had curious experiences in Tower of Fantasy? Or would you rather wait until the bugs are fixed to give the game a chance? Feel free to leave us a comment.

Bugs are also frequently discovered in other games. Sometimes they only appear years after release, like in this case from the MMORPG Tibia: There, players went to incredible lengths just to take out noobs.

MMO shooter with giant battle robots launches on Steam – Is being torn apart by players

Marie Friske 12. August 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

On August 11, the team shooter “Battle Steed: Gunma” launched on Steam. Players compete against each other in huge combat robots. However, the robot game is not doing very well with Steam users.

What kind of game is Battle Steed: Gunma? Battle Steed: Gunma is a third-person shooter where you fight in teams with huge robots.

The game was released in Early Access on August 25, 2021. On August 11, 2022, the game was released on Steam.

What is Battle Steed: Gunma about? The main story of the game revolves around a futuristic competition in which military companies from different countries participate. The companies want to obtain new resources discovered on Mars and Earth.

Here you can see a trailer for Battle Steed: Gunma:

Start video

Autoplay

How much does Battle Steed: Gunma cost? The game is free on Steam.

What does the gameplay in Battle Steed: Gunma look like? The player controls a combat robot equipped with various abilities and weapons. He collaborates with his alliance to take out enemies.

The game allows for different missions: from gathering resources to capturing bases in the combat zone.

“The graphics are at a level where you could think it’s for a mobile game”

What do the reviews say? Reviews are mostly negative. There are only 33% positive reviews on Steam for Battle Steed: Gunma (via steam).

The user solreavir wrote in his positive review:

Now that the game is no longer paid but free, I hope the number of players increases. There are still some bugs, such as the cursor keys that sometimes work and sometimes don’t when trying to select a game or navigate through the options. Gameplay-wise, it’s typical TPS [Third-Person Shooter] fair. The presentation is good. Weapons and tactics and the selection of robots are good. But the close combat is a little boring, maybe it could be made more interesting with a ‘Two-Hit-Strike’ or a ‘Lunging Dash’ on the targeted opponent. It definitely needs a few more promotional videos on social media to rekindle interest in the game after people were put off by the previous price and lack of content.
solreavir via steam

Negative comments primarily criticize the PvP and the graphics in the game:

Mohohott: “The graphics are at a level where you could think it’s for a mobile game. On a computer that can handle detailed representations, I had about 10 frames on the lowest setting.”
Parin: “No people […] no quick matches.”
treeofeter: “When I looked at the leaderboard, it seemed strange that the first place had 5 wins in the game. But it took over 20 minutes to match for the first game […]”

However, it should be noted that many of the reviews refer to the Early Access version and there are only 39 reviews in total. Some of the criticisms may have been improved with the larger update at the game launch.

What changes have been made to the game since the release? With the release on August 11, 2022, the developers made changes to Battle Steed: Gunma and revamped some aspects from Early Access.

Among other things, the game was transitioned from paid to F2P. Bugs were fixed and the system improved. The graphics in the game were also revamped and several combat modes are available (via steam).

What do you think of Battle Steed: Gunma? Feel free to let us know in the comments.

Tower of Fantasy: English Servers – Which should you play?

Dariusz Müller 12. August 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

Tower of Fantasy has been online since August 11, and German players are already diving into the MMORPG. But on which server has the community gathered? We at MeinMMO have taken a look at the server distribution of German streamers.

Since the servers in the new MMORPG Tower of Fantasy are not officially divided into different language areas, it was up to the German-speaking players to choose unofficial German servers for themselves. We at MeinMMO show you which are the “German servers” in Tower of Fantasy.

If you are currently in a queue for Tower of Fantasy, the impressive launch trailer of the MMORPG could also help pass the time:

Two alternatives stand out as “German servers”

Which server should you choose? The German-speaking players of Tower of Fantasy have settled on two unofficial German servers. For example, reddit user Silberkoffer replied to the question of which server German-speaking players are on that Blumous and Cosmos are apparently the most popular German servers.

reddit user ch_anti about “German servers”

What do the colored symbols mean in the server selection?
1. A red symbol means that the server is full.
2. Yellow indicates that the server is heavily populated.
3. Green means that the server is open and less visited than yellow or red servers.
4. A server with a gray symbol is undergoing maintenance.

Survey shows which server the most German-speaking players are on

Where does the information about which servers the German players are on come from? Silberkoffer received another reply on reddit that leads to a Google survey.

The survey was created by the “Tower of Fantasy” community and the results reflect the percentage of a language spoken on a server. Currently, the survey has 8,718 responses (as of August 12, 11:00).

How does the survey work? If I, as a German player, play on the server Anomora, I select Anomora as my server in the survey and indicate that I speak German.

Through the responses of individual players, we can then identify which server has the most Germans represented.

However, the problem with the survey is that not all European servers are included. In the server region Europe, there are a total of 22 different servers. However, we only see the results for 10 of the European servers – thus 12 are missing.

The table below shows which servers exist in Europe and which of them were included in the survey.

Servers in the survey	Servers not in the survey
Aimanium	Elypium
Alintheus	Excalibur
Andoes	Espoir IV
Anomora	Estrela
Astora	Ether
Blumous	Futuria
Celestialrise	Lyramiel
Cosmos	Ex Nihilor
Dyrnwyn	Hephaestus
Valstamm	Kuura
	Midgard
	Iter

What are the results of the survey? We at MeinMMO have taken a closer look at the results of the survey and listed the 5 servers on which the most German players are present:

Anomora: 12.7 % with 749 responses (95)
Blumous: 61.4 % with 414 responses (254)
Cosmos: 37.2 % with 1,286 responses (478)
Valstamm: 11.9 % with 362 responses (43)
Astora: 8.6 % with 2,114 responses (182)

Which one should you play on? In terms of percentages, “Blumous” stands out as a German server. According to the survey, the largest actual number of German players can be found on Cosmos.

However, when choosing your server, you should also pay attention to the fullness or availability of a server, as Tower of Fantasy suffered from queues and server issues at launch.

Dhalucard explains his own community server

Which server do the German streamers play on? Similar to regular players, there is also no server that has been officially designated as the server of German streamers.

We took a random sample from the streams of some German-speaking entertainers and saw that some made their decisions on the fly. For example, the streamer Meloonie (via Twitch) chose Midgard, while metashi12 (via Twitch) spontaneously decided on Blumous.

Streamer Dhalucard, on the other hand, chose Anomora and is said to have even unofficially designated the server as his community server according to reddit user SirPr3ce (via reddit). Dhalucard himself even wrote “Server: Anomora” prominently in the title of the stream (via Twitch). However, the popular streamer is currently not only playing Tower of Fantasy, but is also part of a $100,000 tournament with 160 streamers.

Have you already thought about which server you will play on or have you even joined one? Feel free to let us know here on MeinMMO in the comments which server you are playing on or will be playing!

If you have already fallen into the grind in Tower of Fantasy or want to get started after choosing a server, you should take a closer look at the dark crystals in the MMORPG. Meanwhile, on MeinMMO, you can read where to find the premium currency.

MultiVersus Season 1: Release next week – But Morty is missing

Benedict Grothaus 12. August 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

After a delay, we now know that Season 1 of MultiVersus will start on August 15. However, it won’t launch immediately with all new content. Patch notes are currently missing.

When does Season 1 start? Season 1 of MultiVersus is finally set to kick off on August 15. This start date is just under a week after the originally planned date before the season was postponed “indefinitely”.

What’s included in the season? On release day, a new Battle Pass will launch, which is expected to include 50 tiers across both a free and a paid path. There, you will likely be able to earn new cosmetics, toast, and more.

Specific patch notes for August 15 are still missing, but two new modes have already been announced to arrive during Season 1:

Ranked: A ranked mode where you can fight for top spots in competitive matches.
Arcade: So far, only the name is known, but you will likely face multiple AI opponents consecutively, either alone or with a friend.

The newly planned character Morty Smith, however, will only arrive on August 23. Morty will be a bruiser at expert level, which means he will likely be quite challenging to learn. His counterpart, Rick Sanchez, will appear later in the season.

Here you can see the gameplay trailer for MultiVersus:

Hitbox issues cause delays

The fact that Season 1 was delayed at all is due to current issues with the hit and hurt boxes of characters in MultiVersus. These terms describe the area of the character where a hit is registered and actually causes damage.

There are currently significant issues with some characters, such as Finn, whose attacks hit most opponents even though they apparently shouldn’t. The developers are working to fix this. You can find the best characters from MultiVersus in our tier list.

However, the fact that the fixes are not yet listed in the announcement for the season and that patch notes are generally lacking leaves some players in the subreddit for MultiVersus doubtful. They fear that the bug fixes might only come with Morty.

This is also the biggest criticism that fans currently have. The excitement over the announcement is great and the delay is hardly noticeable since it’s only a few days and you can play soon.

MultiVersus is also well received by MeinMMO editor Benedict Grothaus:

The Steam hit MultiVersus is the best fighting game in a long time because it’s made for old people like me

WoW: Dragonflight makes you masters over the weather

Cortyn 12. August 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

In the next expansion of World of Warcraft, players become powerful. They can even control the weather!

In World of Warcraft, there are now numerous ways to customize your character. Be it through the barber, transmog options, or various toys. However, there are many aspects in the game world that characters have little or no influence over – such as the current weather in the respective area. Wouldn’t it be too powerful if players could control that?

Well, with Dragonflight, you can do exactly that.

What are these devices? These are two toys that can be crafted by engineers. The two devices are:

Centralized Precipitation Emitter: Allows for different weather effects.
Environmental Emulator: Changes the environment and the skybox (clouds/sky in the distance).

Both devices have a duration of 2 hours each, which is quite long. However, the effects are limited to members of your party or raid – other players cannot see these effects and will not be disturbed by them.

What settings are available? Both devices have different settings. The Centralized Precipitation Emitter determines the weather and can cause the following effects:

Rainstorm
Snowstorm
Sandstorm
Ash Rain

The Environmental Emulator changes the skybox and thus the fundamental ambiance. With this device, you can choose from these options:

Peaceful Day
Demon Storm
Calm Cyclone
Ice Crown
Burning Sky
Swirling Nether

Additionally, both devices have the option to “kick” the respective machine to reset it and remove any previous effects.

The effects of both devices can be combined, allowing you to have an Ash Rain with Ice Crown skybox, for example.

What benefit does this have? Basically, manipulating the weather can drastically change the ambiance of a place. Since changing it almost always comes with a different skybox, the lighting and coloring of the location can change drastically. Something similar was already utilized by many in Bastion (Shadowlands), using the “Ink Black Potion” to lower the brightness of the glaring area.

Especially roleplayers are likely to be very happy about the devices. Because who hasn’t experienced this? You’re playing a sad-romantic scene on the beach in Stranglethorn Vale during heavy rain, only for it to stop after three minutes and the sun shines down inappropriately. A scene that surely every one of you has experienced. For sure.

A point of criticism, however, is that the device lasts “only” 2 hours and has a cooldown of 6 hours. So anyone wanting to roleplay under a specific weather condition for an extended session will have to rely on the help of other players. The RP community wishes for the cooldown to be reduced. Since Blizzard is currently fulfilling quite a few requests, this might well happen.

Overall, it gives roleplayers much more creative freedom to enhance the atmosphere of a scene as a game master. Previously, Blizzard had already fulfilled a dream for roleplayers by introducing spell effects that can be cast on friendly targets.

Project TL wanted to be the big MMORPG of 2022, but is now postponing release – But it is allegedly finished

Mark Sellner 12. August 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

The next big MMORPG from NCSoft is called Project TL, or Throne and Liberty, as we now know. It was supposed to be released in 2022, but is now postponed to next year. We at MeinMMO summarize.

TL delays its release: On August 12, NCSoft held its earnings call where the company presented its quarterly report and then allowed some investors to ask questions. Of course, this also included Throne and Liberty, the next big MMORPG from the developer and publisher.

It was originally supposed to be released in 2022 and was one of the most anticipated titles in the genre. Especially thanks to the Unreal Engine 5 graphics and the long development time, fans were already really hyped about the game.

However, the developer has now confirmed that Throne and Liberty will not be released in 2022, but in the first half of 2023. The reason given by the developer is for better strategic timing for the global market.

Additionally, they want to work with the best partner for the release in the West. According to the latest rumors, it is Amazon, but NCSoft has not confirmed this yet.

Gameplay from Throne and Liberty can be seen here:

Autoplay

Sounds like beta tests for Throne and Liberty will start soon

Does the game need fine-tuning? The developers avoid providing exact information during the call. However, they reveal that TL is actually quite finished. 3,000 people have successfully tested the MMORPG internally, and these tests are supposed to be continued “soon” in public.

The sign-up for these tests is supposed to happen through an “unusual” method, which NCSoft has not elaborated on yet. Whether these playtests will also be available in Europe is also not known.

They also want to adapt TL for the Western market before the global release. The game currently relies on many mechanics that are rather uncommon in the West. They want to smooth this out to ensure a successful global launch.

What do you think of the new information? Were you looking forward to TL this year, or did you see the delay coming? Feel free to let us know in the comments here on MeinMMO.

If you still want to play a new MMORPG, there are still 9 that will be released this year.

Pokémon GO: Next week starts WM event with strong attacks and cool spawns

Franzi Korittke 12. August 2022 Reading time 5 minutes

Pokémon GO is participating in the Pokémon World Championships for the first time this year and is launching a World Championship in-game event. We at MeinMMO have looked at what spawns and bonuses await you.

What kind of event is it? Together with the Pokémon Company and other Pokémon games, the Pokémon World Championships is taking place in London from August 18 to 21. And Pokémon GO will also be part of it for the first time.

This definitely calls for a celebration, which is why Niantic is launching a fitting in-game event for all trainers alongside the content surrounding the live event. Of course, you can look forward to numerous spawns, as well as one or two bonuses. For example, you can expect:

Pikachu in World Championship costume
Exclusive event attacks for selected Pokémon

We have summarized what content is planned and what you need to know about the live event below.

When is the event running? While the Pokémon World Championships take place in London from August 18 to 21, the related event runs from August 18, 2022, at 10:00 AM local time to August 23, 2022, at 8:00 PM local time.

All bonuses for the World Championship event

What bonuses can you expect? Of course, you can look forward to some bonuses at the WM event again. These are thematically appropriate and mainly revolve around trainer battles. Here’s what you can expect:

Challengers at PokéStops competing with the teams of the regional championship winners
10 battle sets (a total of 50 battles) in the GO Battle League per day
3x Stardust as a reward for winning battles in the GO Battle League
Timed research
- Reward: Elite Fast TM, Elite Charged TM, and an encounter with Pikachu in World Championship costume*
Exclusive attacks for selected Pokémon
special avatar items in the in-game shop:
- Dragon Sports Top
- Dragon Sports Shorts
- Dark Sports Top
- Dark Sports Shorts

Exclusive attacks for the World Championship event

What is it about? During the event, selected Pokémon can learn a special event attack. You will receive this when you trigger the evolution from the respective pre-evolution. This way you can secure the following attacks:

Attack	Evolution
Rock Throw	Rhydon to Rhyperior
Shadow Punch	Haunter to Gengar
Water Tail	Magikarp to Gyarados
Meteor Mash	Metang to Metagross
Incinerate	Dartix to Talonflame

Are the attacks worth it? The evolutions mentioned above are really strong and are among the best attackers in Pokémon GO, but can also hold their own in the GO Battle League. The respective event attacks provide appropriate support and should therefore be a fixed part of their movesets.

For example, Talonflame can reach 14th place in the Ultra League with a moveset of Incinerate, Brave Bird, and Flame Charge in the PvPoke rankings. Gyarados, on the other hand, can assert itself in both the Ultra and Master Leagues with its moveset of Fire Spin, Water Tail, and Crunch.

And you can also optimally use the event attacks in raids. Rhyperior is one of the best Rock attackers in the game and relies on the moveset of Smack Down and Rock Throw, dealing significant damage to the opponent.

Metagross can also excel as the strongest Steel attacker with a moveset of Bullet Punch and Meteor Mash in raids as well as in PvP battles. It’s worth taking the opportunity to secure the event attacks. After that, they can only be learned via Elite Fast TM or Elite Charged TM for now.

The new costumed Pokémon for the World Championships

In connection with such a large event, one thing must not be missing: a costumed Pikachu in World Championship costume. The popular Electric-type Pokémon will be found in raids during the event, but will also hide in the rewards of field research and timed research. With a bit of luck, you might even discover a shiny version.

All spawns for the World Championship event

The new costumed Pikachu is not the only monster you can encounter during the World Championship event. In the wild, in raids, and in field research, many other Pokémon are waiting for you.

All those you can also encounter in their shiny form are marked with a (*) below:

Wild spawns:

Nidoran (female)*
Machop*
Hydro B in*
Sableye*
Medicham*
Swablu*
Seadot*
Gulpin*
Araquanid
Zorua
Galarian Stufful*

Pokémon in raids:

Level 1 Raids: Pikachu in World Championship costume*, Galarian Farfetch’d*, Marill*, Shroomish*, Scrafty*, Zorua
Level 3 Raids: Granbull, Snorlax*, Altaria*
Level 5 Raids: Zacian, Zamazenta
Mega Raids: Mega-Latios*

Pokémon from field research:

Bulbasaur*
Pikachu in World Championship costume*
Gastly*
Rhyhorn*
Magikarp*
Chikorita*
Treecko*
Galarian Zigzagoon*
Shuppet*
Galarian Stufful*
Dartini*

The Pokémon World Championship 2022 in London

What is the Pokémon World Championship? The Pokémon Company regularly hosts Pokémon World Championships, where the best trainers of the different games showcase their skills and compete against each other for the title of World Champion.

In 2022, Pokémon GO will also be part of this spectacle for the first time. In the past months, you had the chance to qualify for the event. Now the best trainers in the world are ready and will compete against each other in the GO Battle League during the live event in London.

In addition to the World Champion title, they will also compete for other prizes. For example, the winner will receive an exclusive pose in the game as well as a World Champion outfit.

Can you watch the championship? Yes, you can follow the battles for the World Champion title in a live stream on the Pokémon GO Twitch channel. These will take place from August 18, 2022, to August 21, 2022, starting at 8:00 AM UTC, which is 10:00 AM German time.

Are there bonuses for all players? Yes, the live event also offers special bonuses for you. Those participating in the World Championship will receive a special red Champion shirt for their avatar.

But trainers who watch the competition from home should also pay close attention, as Niantic will release special promo codes during the live stream, with which you can secure a blue Champion shirt for your avatar.

What do you think of the contents of the World Championship event? Did you wish for different monsters and bonuses? And will you be watching the battles in the live stream on Twitch? Feel free to share your opinion here in the comments on MeinMMO.

In the coming days, there is still a lot to come in Pokémon GO. We will show you all events in August and which ones are particularly worth it.

WoW: Patch 9.2.7 is coming next week – here’s what’s included

Cortyn 12. August 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

A new patch for World of Warcraft is on the way. We will tell you what is included in update 9.2.7 of Shadowlands.

Even though the 4th season of World of Warcraft Dragonflight has just started, Blizzard has prepared a small patch that brings a few small but nice features. Patch 9.2.7 will likely please auction house fans and also help those who are annoyed by boosting spam.

What is included in the patch? Actually just three features, but they could have some impact.

The auction house is again part of the WoW Companion App
- Browse and view current auctions.
- Make bids and complete instant buys.
- Search for specific auctions.
- Add or remove items from the favorites list.
- View or cancel your own auctions.

Crafting and everyday items will now be traded region-wide in the auction house. You can buy and sell materials from other realms.

A new chat channel for searching and offering services such as raids, dungeons, or PvP activities: Trade (Services).

This channel is basically for selling and searching for boosting offers. Anyone who wants to drag other players through content for gold to grant them achievements, gear, or mounts now has a designated channel for that.

The advantage is that other areas, such as the LFG tool, will no longer be bombarded with such requests, and everyone who is not interested can simply hide the channel.

Last but not least, the classic trade channel should be used again for items and professions.

There will be no changes to the previous rules on boosting.

It is quite possible that the patch contains a few “hidden” or undocumented changes, but nothing is known about that so far. The patch notes are therefore rather sparse and only contain the two points mentioned above.

When will the patch be released? Patch 9.2.7 goes live on August 17, 2022, meaning it will be coming next week with maintenance on Wednesday.

Is there more to come before Dragonflight? This seems rather unlikely. Only the pre-patch 10.0, which is expected to be released a few weeks before the official release of Dragonflight, will be released beforehand. A patch 9.3 is currently not planned. However, there are already hints that with the pre-patch you will be able to play a Dracthyr Evoker – as they recently received a covenant ability and even legendary items in the alpha that can be used in the regions of Shadowlands.

What do you think about the introduction of a “boosting” channel? Is it the right solution to limit spam? Or should that all be prohibited?

Diablo Immortal: Necromancers complain that a bug is currently destroying their best set

Max Handwerk 11. August 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

The Necromancer in Diablo Immortal is very popular, but apparently there is currently a problem: the best set for the class seems to have a bug.

This set is about: “The Shepherd’s Call to the Wolves” is one of the various sets in Diablo Immortal. The 6 different set pieces must be obtained from their respective dungeons.

That’s not so easy, as the dungeons range in difficulty between Hell I and Hell IV. However, you will be rewarded with a very powerful set. This is also the reason why the bug is appearing only now: many players were not yet far enough.

The Shepherd’s Call to the Wolves enhances your summons. Ideally, you can enter the “Frenzy State” with your summons, in which they deal significantly more damage. Additionally, you can enhance your critical damage.

This set is particularly interesting for Necromancers. One of the best builds for Necromancers fully relies on summons and “pets” are a popular playstyle for the class.

Necromancers rank higher on the tier list of Diablo Immortal. In the gameplay, you can see gameplay of the Necromancer and the other classes:

Start video

Diablo Immortal: All 6 Classes in Brief Overview with Gameplay

Autoplay

The set does not function quite as it should

What can the set actually do? The extent of the enhancements depends on how many pieces of the set you have:

2-piece set: Summons deal 15 % more damage.
4-piece set: The critical hit chance is increased by 3 % for each of your summoned creatures, up to a maximum of 18 %.
6-piece set: Your summons enter the Frenzy State for 12 seconds after each of their critical hits. This increases damage and attack speed by 60 %.

The 6-piece effect can only occur every 40 seconds, but when it does, it is worth it. Or at least it should be – because currently there seem to be problems.

This is the problem: In the Blizzard forum for bugs and issues, as well as in the Diablo Immortal subreddit, players report that the 6-piece bonus does not provide all the bonuses it should.

While there would be a speed boost from the set, the associated damage bonus of 60% currently seems to be missing.

This is particularly frustrating considering that this is an endgame item with which you want to deal as much damage as possible.

Whether the problem is being addressed is currently not known. Players hope that the bonus will be available again – and not just that the description is faulty and only the damage bonus is intended.

Recently, the issue of “Warbands” also caused frustration in Diablo Immortal. Players said, the feature should simply be removed.

LoL posts huge changes for the most thankless role in the game, deletes the post quickly again

Benedict Grothaus 11. August 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

The jungle (engl: “Jungle”) is considered in League of Legends the least popular position overall. However, to prevent players from being put off, Riot wants to completely revamp the position now. Maybe. Because the information was promptly deleted.

What kind of position is this? As a jungler, you have several tasks in League of Legends and use special mechanics to your advantage:

You mainly gain experience and gold from monsters in the jungle.
Your main task is to watch the paths between the lanes and “gank,” enabling kills for your teammates.
Additionally, you manage important buffs like the dragon, the Rift Herald, or Baron Nashor.

However, the role is extremely unpopular and thankless. Because basically, it’s said: the jungler is to blame if something doesn’t work. Because in reality, you are quite important for the team, but at the same time, you have a really tough job. Professionals even advise against playing jungler.

More on the topic

LoL: One of the best junglers in the world breaks kill record – Uses champ he only lost with before

von Schuhmann

To take away some of the bad reputation from the jungler position, it seems Riot is considering some major overhauls. However, the post apparently came too early and disappeared from the website.

Bel’veth is the latest dedicated jungler and is so strong, that she gets banned absurdly often. See the Empress of the Void here in the trailer:

Start video

LoL: Trailer shows the new jungle champion Bel’Veth in gameplay – mobile and deadly

Autoplay

The jungle is allegedly set to receive new items and even pets

This was allegedly in the post: According to PCGamesN, the current jungler items should be exchanged for new ones. Additionally, there should be assistance for paths that run through the jungle – so you don’t have to rely on websites or memorize everything.

However, the perhaps biggest change is that companions (“pets”) should come in to support you while jungling. Such a feature would be especially helpful for AP junglers like Lillia, who traditionally have bigger problems at the beginning of the game when they deal little damage.

However, Riot is allegedly planning with the rework to simplify the entry as a jungler and to somewhat close the large gap between strong and weak players in this position. According to PCGamesN, it was mentioned in the post:

“When the clear optimization is no longer the big entry hurdle for junglers, many more champions can be played there. The meta is less set in stone. The jungle itself does not tell you that you are bad at the game just because you selected Warwick and are fighting the raptors. Skill should be rewarded throughout the entire roster, not just for the few chosen ones who can currently efficiently clean the jungle.”

We can no longer verify the information, as the post has since been deleted. It is said to have appeared on Garena, the news blog of League of Legends in Southeast Asia.

When is the rework supposed to be released? According to information, the changes are set for Preseason 2023. However, this is still a few months away and is expected to start around November 2022. Whether and how the changes will come, you will probably still know until then.

If you want to try out as a jungler already now, we have a handy tip for you:

Tower of Fantasy: Dark Crystals – How to find and use the premium currency

Christos Tsogos 11. August 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

In Tower of Fantasy, you will encounter the in-game currency “Dark Crystals” sooner or later. These black stones are useful because you can acquire cool things from the item shop with them. We will show you how to get them for free and where you can spend them.

What are dark crystals? This valuable resource is equivalent to the Original Resin in Genshin Impact. With them, players can purchase items and things in the in-game shop that are usually bought with real money. So before you spend your hard-earned money on ToF, we will show you all the ways to obtain these dark stones for free.

If you don’t know how cool the graphics of Towers of Fantasy are yet, we have the perfect trailer for you:

Start video

How to find dark crystals

What locations are there? Unfortunately, dark crystals are not as easy to find as gold. Nevertheless, there are various sources where you can definitely snag a stone or two. The following free opportunities are known:

Daily login rewards
Weekly activities
Apex League
Special promotions like following the developers on social media
Free version of the Battle Pass
Promo Codes
Milestones
Level milestones (you can expect a package with items every five levels)
Supply crates (no guaranteed crystal drop when opening crates)

In total, there are nine ways to obtain dark crystals for free. However, a relatively safe method is to track down and open supply crates on the map. But these are only random drops – you can’t get dark crystals from every crate.

Where do I redeem my dark crystals? To shop with the dark stones, you need to tap on the stones in your backpack. There should be a shop icon next to your quantity. Tap on that, and you will be immediately redirected to the item shop.

What do you think of the dark crystals? Do you find them better than the known Original Resins? And how do you find ToF in general? Let us know in the comments!

WoW WotLK Classic removes the most controversial MMORPG feature and the players still complain

Benedict Grothaus 11. August 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

Soon, the new expansion Wrath of the Lich King will be released for WoW Classic. Originally, WotLK introduced the Dungeon Finder in its first form, as you now know it from modern WoW. And even though the feature is often seen as the “beginning of the end” for WoW, some people are now complaining that it is missing.

What is this feature? The Dungeon Finder allows you to find a group for a dungeon at the press of a button and teleport to its entrance. Just as you probably barely know it any other way today.

Before the Dungeon Finder, there was its predecessor, the LFG tool. Here, you had to search for groups on a kind of bulletin board or alternatively through addons or chat, and then travel to the entrance of the instance yourself. This often took just as long or longer than the dungeon itself.

The Dungeon Finder was introduced with the last WotLK patch, with which the classic version is also released. For a while now, we have known that WotLK Classic will come without the Dungeon Finder and actually, this should please Classic players. But now they are complaining.

WotLK Classic will be released on September 27 as a new expansion. You can watch the trailer here:

Start video

WoW Classic: Der Trailer zu Wrath of the Lich King

Autoplay

The Dungeon Finder is actually hated, and yet people are complaining now

This is the criticism of the Dungeon Finder: The idea behind the tool is actually to make MMORPGs like WoW more convenient. And indeed, WoW became more convenient, but also less social, as players have been criticizing for many years.

Especially veterans from Vanilla WoW and Burning Crusade valued the groups back then because people came together to really achieve something – even if the run lasted several hours. As long as the dungeon is completed.

The assembling of the group and traveling created small talk and social bonding or cohesion in the guild, when one could quickly ask for help. This aspect of social bonding is the reason Blizzard cites against the implementation of the Dungeon Finder (via WoW forums).

Since many of these factors are absent due to the Dungeon Finder, veterans feel the game is less personal. Additionally, early versions of the tool imposed heavy penalties on players who left prematurely. Especially rarer roles like tanks have occasionally used this to hold entire groups hostage, as users explain on reddit.

Why are the fans complaining now? Blizzard confirmed in a forum post once again that the Dungeon Finder will not appear in WotLK Classic, neither at release nor probably later. This met with a lot of criticism.

Defenders of the Dungeon Finder appreciate the convenience and see no loss of social interaction. Especially compared to the Classic version of the LFG tool, the Dungeon Finder is much more enjoyable. On reddit, user Ranec writes:

Look, if we are not going to get the Dungeon Finder, at least make the LFG tool like it is in retail. The current one is SO poor. I am really surprised that they simply made a new [tool] but worse than what they already have.

Criticism of the decision is also present in the forum, especially in regard to the LFG tool. Here, players wish for the Dungeon Finder as a new feature or at least a better version of group searching than the one that currently exists.

MeinMMO editor Alexander Leitsch is, by the way, a big advocate of Dungeon Finders in all MMORPGs:

More on the topic

Hate me if you want, but: Dungeon-Finders are the best thing that could happen to MMORPGs

von Alexander Leitsch

Further changes in WotLK Classic

With the release on September 27, WotLK Classic will be different in some respects than you remember. In the latest post, Blizzard explains some of the changes:

Raids share an ID in normal and heroic mode, but not in the 10 and 25-player variants.
Faction and race changes will be possible at a later point in the expansion.
Titles and achievements will also be obtainable in the 2v2 arena.
Mounts and achievements are character-bound, not account-bound.

Additionally, there was an earlier decision to remove the “Quest Helper” from WotLK Classic. The feature marked quests directly on the map. However, this decision was reversed, and the function remains in the game.

Since Blizzard has already backtracked on this, fans are now hoping that a Dungeon Finder might still make it into the game. However, whether this will happen remains to be seen – currently, it does not look like it.

If you’re also looking forward to the Battle for Wintergrasp, you might be a bit disappointed:

Social media is probably the last place you want to learn about your dismissal. Yet, that seems to have happened to the Overwatch pro “Myunbong”.

Who is it about? Sang-min “Myunbong” Seo is 23 years old and last played a support role for the Overwatch team New York Excelsior. He played characters like Ana and Zenyatta.

Myunbong only joined the team in January 2022, after almost two years playing for Boston Uprising. But after just over half a year, it’s already over: NY Excelsior has parted ways with the 23-year-old.

However, Myunbong apparently found out about it only when everyone else already knew – via a tweet from his former team, which has over 130,000 followers on Twitter.

Big back and forth on Twitter about the Overwatch pro

The New York Excelsior (NYXL) team reportedly posted a farewell statement on Twitter, thanking Myunbong for his time with their team.

In response to the now-deleted post, Myunbong merely reacted with a question mark:

This raised the question in the comments of whether Myunbong even knew about his dismissal. Consequently, NYXL came back into the picture. Because apparently, this statement should not have been released yet.

They had posted the thank you statement to Myunbong but had failed to coordinate it properly with the team beforehand: “We take full responsibility, this is inexcusable,” the team wrote via Twitter.

NYXL also reached out directly to Myunbong: “We are very sorry for our miscommunication, and that we placed you in this situation. Although we wish it had been communicated better, we greatly appreciate your time with us and wish you only the best for the future.”

Myunbong himself later also spoke up on Twitter and explained that dismissal was a topic in a feedback session, but then it happened very suddenly.

“The sudden news, which was the result of an error by another department in the team, as well as the fact that I had not heard anything about the possibility of being dismissed, feels very unjustified. GL NYXL,” wrote Myunbong in his most recent tweet on the topic.

Why exactly this major miscommunication occurred is still unclear, just like the actual reasons for the separation. However, Myunbong is no longer listed on the active roster page of the team – the farewell seems to be final.

It is not the first time that strange situations arise around Overwatch. Another example: A few weeks ago, a setup for a large tournament in Overwatch caused confusion.

YouTube channel of Drachenlord deleted: haters cheer: ‘defeated’ – but he says: ‘I’ll just go to TikTok’

Schuhmann 11. August 2022 Reading time 4 minutes

For 8 years, there has been a unique phenomenon on German-speaking YouTube: the YouTuber Rainer “Drachenlord” Winkler (33) and the hate directed at him. A group of people known as “haters” want to take down the YouTuber, seeing it as a game, a “dragon game”, to harass and pressure the man until he loses control. Now they cheer: The Drachenlord is “defeated,” as YouTube has deleted his channels, but Winkler sees it differently. Meanwhile, there are alternative platforms to YouTube like TikTok.

What is this strange phenomenon?

Rainer “Drachenlord” Winkler talked about many different topics at the beginning of his career. He did so with a strong accent, often hurtful and thoughtless. A group of people started openly mocking him online and expressing outrage.
For years, a battle has developed between the Drachenlord and his “haters.” People drove to his home and harassed him in person. It led to conflicts, lawsuits, and court rulings. The haters see Drachenlord as a bad person. Some wish him prison, others even death. They themselves are criticized for having lost all sense of measure.
The case of “Drachenlord” is no longer a small YouTube phenomenon. Experts see it as a phenomenon of our internet age. Sascha Lobo addressed the case of “Drachenlord” as a cultural phenomenon in a 2021 column for Spiegel. He sees the case as proof that the German legal system is too outdated to understand conflicts on the internet (via spiegel.de).

YouTube deletes Drachenlord’s accounts apparently due to “Ban Evasion”

Why are his enemies cheering now? YouTube has deleted the Drachenlord’s channels. The reason appears to be a violation of the platform’s guidelines. Exact details are not officially known.

It is suspected that it could be a penalty for “circumventing a content ban,” a so-called “Ban Evasion”:

Winkler received a warning for a copyright infringement, which usually results in a suspension (via watson).
The Drachenlord was then active on another YouTube channel. This is against the rules.
It is quite possible that YouTube considered the context of the violation and decided to get rid of the chronic conflict source, Drachenlord.

In any case, the haters online are celebrating and declaring Drachenlord “defeated.”

Without the YouTube channel, he lost his main source of income and thus no longer has resources. Some seem to want to take credit for the ban as a personal achievement: They joke that they “reported” the channel to the ban.

This plays into the idea that platforms like YouTube and Twitch automatically ban any channel if enough people submit a report. However, platforms deny that the reporting algorithm can be abused this way.

“I am by no means defeated!”

How does Winkler see it himself? He reacts surprisingly calmly. In two videos on TikTok, Drachenlord explains in front of a greenscreen that he is not “defeated” at all – he considers the ban on YouTube to be a small problem that can soon be resolved. He has always gotten his channel back so far. That’s how it has been for years.

First of all: Yes, my YouTube account has been deleted. No, I am not worried, because it is still in review […] I am waiting for a response from YouTube, this may take a while. I receive billions of messages on WhatsApp: Haha defeated! – Do I look like someone who is worried?
Even if the YouTube account is gone, I am by no means defeated because of that. First of all, I still have more than 200,000 followers here on TikTok and even if not, I just have to rework my OnlyFans a bit.

He made a “small mistake” which is now being reviewed and then he will continue on YouTube.

https://twitter.com/An0n_0x1/status/1557428690929295362

Winkler believes that he will return to YouTube and even if not, “then he will just go to TikTok.” He is also considering OnlyFans as an alternative to YouTube, a platform where other types of creators can actually earn a lot of money:

From his perspective, everything is clear. He is now playing Fable 2 on the Xbox and not stressing about it.

Then I’ll just make TikTok videos in the future and only that. Then I’ll make 5 TikTok videos a day instead of 3 videos – screw it.

People on the internet want to abuse the next reporting system – See Drachenlord as an NPC

How will this continue? Unfortunately, apparently just like all the time. Immediately, calls are circulating on Twitter to abuse TikTok’s reporting system so that Drachenlord also loses his channel there.

What’s behind this: What stands out is that Winkler is now playing exactly the role assigned to him by the “haters.” This can be seen in how the vocabulary aligns. Where haters cheer that he is “defeated,” like an NPC in a video game, he proclaims himself to be “not defeated at all.”

The use of “defeated” regarding Drachenlord originally even comes from a shout from Winkler himself. In the early days of the entire case, he shouted in one of his live streams: “You will never defeat me!” Together with a shirt that said “Undefeated forever,” this created the demand from the haters to actually defeat the Drachenlord.

Even in earlier incidents, it was noticeable that haters see the Drachenlord as a kind of fictional character, like in a TV show:

Some referred to the last court hearing as a “season finale.”
Now people are already excited about the “TikTok season.”

In fact, there is not even a known popular case from the USA where a content creator has been harassed and demonized for such a long time as Winkler has been in Germany. But even in the USA, conflicts surrounding content creators have escalated before:

Tower of Fantasy celebrates release, but the players suffer – “The waiting time is not fair to me”

Dariusz Müller 11. August 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

Today it finally began for the anime MMORPG Tower of Fantasy, but many players are criticizing the servers. What is going on?

What is wrong with the servers? Tower of Fantasy opened its doors today. However, some players are reporting on social media that they cannot play – server problems and queues seem to be getting in their way.

This is not unusual; New World suffered from huge queues in 2021. In 2022, there were queues in Lost Ark that Amazon responded to. The topic of annoying queue times was so prevalent for a while that we even asked you what kind of queue type you are.

What kind of game is this, anyway? Tower of Fantasy is a free-to-play MMORPG in anime style, developed by Hotta Studio, which visually resembles the game Genshin Impact.

Tower of Fantasy was released today, August 11, 2022
The MMORPG was released on the game’s website as well as for mobile devices in the App Store and Google Play Store.
A release on Steam and in the Epic Games Store is also expected later this year.

Despite its visual resemblance to Genshin Impact, Tower of Fantasy is a typical MMORPG and features an open world, PvP, guilds, trading, group content, as well as dungeons and numerous quests.

If you want to get an impression of the MMORPG, check out the launch trailer:

“I can’t play, but at least it looks good”

What did players say about the queues? Many players commented on YouTube under the launch trailer about the server issues and the queues, with many expressing humorously:

RimxunYT: “I am here waiting for the server to get stronger.”
°-Mia-°: “Rip to all players trying to get on the server, including me.”
Eis_Kalt_Sprite: “The waiting time for me is not fair!”
Rimxun YT: “I am here waiting for the server to get stronger because the combat system is so cool and it doesn’t lag unless the server kicks you out.”
TheCheezcake Man: “The game looks good. I can’t play because the servers are full, but at least it looks good.”

On reddit, the comments are less humorous but also report strong issues with the servers:

comfycal: “Yes, it’s frustrating to face all these error messages – ‘Server interrupted’, ‘Player already logged in’ and the error code. I pressed ‘Cancel’ on all 3 messages and spammed until I got in the queue (via reddit).”
xxNuke: “Two in the morning in the middle of the week and the EU queues are huge. What on earth… (via reddit)”
demondus: “I have limited playtime, so it doesn’t help me to wait 30 minutes to play. Too bad, I would have liked to try it too (via reddit).”
raininggalaxy: “I’m not sure if the servers are down or if too many people are trying to log in (via reddit).”

Have you tried playing Tower of Fantasy? If so, were you able to get into the game or did you also face server issues and queues? Feel free to share it with us here on MeinMMO in the comments!

Players who have successfully tested Tower of Fantasy are especially impressed with the character editor and unleash their creativity there.
