500,000 damage with a single attack kills any Horde player in World of Warcraft. A hunter makes this quite easy.
In the meantime, there are a whole bunch of “legends” in World of Warcraft that everyone knows. One of them is the player Rextroy. He keeps attracting attention by either soloing bosses or finding interesting bugs and exploits that allow him to “oneshot” players. This has happened again. As a hunter with rather poor equipment, he can deal enough damage to simply blow away all other players.
But see for yourself how Rextroy once again brings out his hunter to kill enemy players with a single attack.
How does it work? The key element here is the legendary item “Pouch of Razor Fragments”. This causes the Deadly Shot to apply a damage-over-time effect to all enemies near the target, which corresponds to 60% of the damage dealt by the deadly shot. Typically, this is only a few hundred or thousand points of damage. A solid option for area damage, but nothing devastating.

The trick is once again the use of his notorious frogs. These can spawn everywhere in the world and count as low-level beasts – they take increased damage from players who have reached level 60. This, in turn, means that Deadly Shot can deal several million damage points, sending the poor frog to the afterlife.
This massively increased damage is then the basis for the DOT effect that is applied to all other enemies in the vicinity – which ultimately leads to them having a DOT on them that ticks for around 500,000 damage points. That’s many times more than any character in World of Warcraft can currently have.
However, Rextroy had already tested this exact combination over a year ago, and at that time, it could not be used. Back then, the damage-over-time effect simply did not transfer to other targets when the target was destroyed with greatly increased damage.
For a while, there was a bug that the DoT did not jump to other targets at all. Blizzard then apparently fixed this and inadvertently created a new bug.
Does Rextroy find all his tricks himself? No. Although Rextroy spends a lot of time optimizing certain combos and has discovered many bugs himself, he often relies on his community. Whenever someone finds a potential one-shot combo, Rextroy is contacted by his friends and viewers, after which he tests and refines it himself. In this case, the discovery traces back to a small Twitch clip from Team Liquid.
Isn’t that exploiting and prohibited? Basically yes. Especially the spreading of exploits is not looked upon kindly by Blizzard. In Rextroy’s case, however, he is in contact with the developers and sends them a report regarding the respective bug or exploit. His videos usually appear only after the bug has already been fixed in the game and can no longer be reproduced. Therefore, most of Rextroy’s “oneshot” combos can no longer be replicated.
The exploit has now been fixed.
What do you think of this trick? A cool combo and just funny that such a thing is found? Or does it show how many bugs are in the MMORPG?

Those who think of one-shot weapons in Call of Duty: Warzone will quickly think of sniper weapons. However, after a buff in Season 4, another weapon is creeping into the hearts of one-shot fans – the old crossbow from Modern Warfare 2019.
What’s wrong with the crossbow? It’s not easy being a crossbow in Call of Duty. Everyone just wants to run around with their firearms, relying on high rates of fire and no one pays attention to the old, reliable technique of a crossbow.
But in the current Season 4, traditional weapons are striking back. Especially the crossbow from Modern Warfare will no longer tolerate the ignorance of most players and is now a one-shot monster that can bring you a lot of fun – if you can tame the weapon.
CoD Warzone: Crossbow rocks after buff in Season 4
Why is the crossbow so strong now? There was a buff at the start of Season 4. As a result, the bolts from the crossbow fly over 25% faster towards their target. Together with attachments, this value gets even stronger.
This makes it significantly easier for you to hit your opponents, and along with the explosive bolts, things really take off. If the hit is on the head, neck, or chest, your opponents go down. Not directly with the first hit, but through the subsequent explosion.
If enemies already lack a bit of armor, the first hit can be deadly. Then the enemies are completely finished off because the explosion ensures that they do not stay on the ground. They will be knocked out of the match.
It takes practice and a certain touch for the somewhat slower bolts. A clip on reddit shows, however, how strong and fun the crossbow can be:

What does a setup look like? Below, we show you a setup for range applications. This way you can use the crossbow similarly to the reddit clip:
Barrel: XRK Thunder 90 kg
Sight: VLK 3.0x-Sight
Stock: FORGE TAC Apex
Bolts: FTAC Fury 20″ Bolts
Extra: Dexterity
However, this thing can also be used excellently in close combat. It’s a high risk, as you have only one shot ready. But if the bolt lands, you only need one shot. Build your setup more around ADS speed.
The Twitch streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins is known to be extremely ambitious, not only in games like Fortnite but also in League of Legends. On Saturday evening, July 9th, he played a showcase match, challenged by MrBeast. Ninja teamed up with Tyler1 and Doublelift, two real LoL masters, but the plan didn’t work out.
Ninja decided to get two strong LoL players, Doublelift and Tyler1, who have egos as big as his. All three are known as terrible trash talkers. Along with the two LoL masters, he brought Ludwig and YouTuber Sapnap, who have little knowledge of LoL.
Tyler is a very special guy:

How the Worst Troll from Twitch Became the Face of League of Legends
Team Ninja: Superstars and “Iron” players in one team
This is what the teams looked like: Both teams were relatively similarly structured: Each team had 2 really good LoL players and two streamers not known for LoL. And then there were the team captains.
The Ninja team consisted of:
Ninja himself, who has been playing LoL like crazy in recent years and tends to lose his temper – he was the midlaner
Tyler1, a fanatical LoL streamer known to be aggressive, fierce, and talented – he played top lane
Doublelift, one of the best LoL players in North America of all time, who now streams – played in the bot lane
Ludwig, a former Super Smash commentator, who was always known more for his entertainment value than for his gameplay skills – he had to play as a supporter
Sapnap – a Minecraft YouTuber, he played in the jungle

MrBeast – a YouTuber who throws money around – he was the supporter.
Yassuo – a streamer for 100 Thieves, who stands for the character “Yassuo” – was supposed to face Ninja in the middle. Yassuo is considered really strong.
Voyboy – a former LoL pro, who now works as a streamer – had to deal with Tyler1 on the top lane. Voyboy is also considered skilled in LoL.
Mizkif – a Twitch streamer, who does a lot of commentary and plays Nintendo games – got to have fun in the jungle. Mizkif is, like Ludwig, primarily an entertainer, but also has real gaming skills.
Doublelift is one of the most influential players in North American LoL of the last 10 years
Both players are regarded as “better than good”, Doublelift has been to several Worlds. Tyler1 has become a Challenger in all 5 roles: that’s quite high up.
Alone, the two “should” be able to win such a fun tournament if they pull themselves together and play bot lane together.
Furthermore, Ninja, despite all the criticism against him, is a gifted gamer.
Doublelift was one of the strongest players in the USA for years.
“Ludwig practically lost the game alone”
This is how the game really went: Instead of putting Doublelift and Tyler1 in the bot lane to dominate, they placed YouTuber Ludwig as the supporter, and it went horribly wrong.
Because Ludwig couldn’t accomplish anything.
Tyler1 said: Ludwig is an absolute weakness – he nearly lost the game alone. Ludwig can’t even come to terms with it in the background:

The first match was decided after 33 minutes with 35 to 21 kills
The second match was even clearer with 26 to 12 after 25 minutes
The third match was actually unnecessary, but Ninja added another $50,000, reshuffled the team completely, and was able to restore some honor. Now Team Ninja won with 27 to 12 after 28 minutes.

Weak players decide LoL match, not the strong ones
How is the match discussed? The majority of criticism on reddit is aimed at poor Ludwig. To be beaten with him as a supporter must be like visiting the “Ninth Circle of Hell”, says one user.
Other players were also criticized:
Doublelift couldn’t establish a clear advantage over Emiru, which many found amusing.
Ninja clearly showed his limits against Yassuo in the midlane, although he is a “high ranked” player, he simply couldn’t keep up against a real master.
Tyler1 was superior to Voyboy, but not strong enough to compensate for the lost mid lane and bot lane.
Sapnap was quite the victim in the jungle, while Mizkif played solid.
Ultimately, the two “weak players” from MrBeast, Emiru and Mizkif, were both significantly better than the weak players from Team Ninja.
Everything changed in game 3: There, Tyler1 was placed as the supporter, Ninja was allowed to play Samira in the bot lane, and Doublelift was moved to mid lane – while the “weak players”, Ludwig and Sapnap, were hidden in the jungle and top lane.
The plan then worked perfectly, that’s how they should have played the whole time.
Tyler1 became the star of the night with biting remarks – Doublelift allowed himself to be bought off with chocolate by MrBeast:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obFL_1B3uxE
This is what it’s about: Team “Ninja” was strangely structured, as it had these 3 good players with even bigger egos, but with Sapnap and Ludwig being two real weaknesses on the team – while MrBeast’s team was more balanced.
The key would have been, as in match 3, to put two strong players in the bot lane and let them go all out.
But everyone had their fun, and that was ultimately the point of the event.
Once again, Tyler1 became the star of the night, who seems to come alive on the big stage;
The Twitch streamer Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa has now published exact figures about her earnings on the platform “OnlyFans”: It is over 33 million US dollars, making her one of the top 0.01% on the platform. But other women who are successful on OnlyFans warn: For them, OnlyFans is not nearly as profitable. And they too are at the top of the platform.
How much money has Amouranth earned on OnlyFans? On July 8, Amouranth posted on Twitter:
In total, she has earned $33,760,282.49 before taxes on OnlyFans. That is just over 33 million euros.
Amouranth shows the months from July 2022 to October 2021, where she consistently takes in between 1.4 million and 1.6 million US dollars per month. There are hardly any fluctuations (via twitter).
Even though Amouranth is very careful, sometimes she too gets banned from Twitch:

Enticing free content on Twitch – Cashing in on OnlyFans
How has she earned so much money? Amouranth operates a dual business model:
On Twitch, Twitter, and Instagram, she presents herself provocatively, but within the platform’s rules: She appears in lingerie, lounges in bathtubs, and flirts with her sexuality. On Twitch, she licks microphones, whispers in ASMR streams, or writes subscriber names on her skin. With this, she has become the most successful streamer on Twitch.
She grabs viewers’ attention this way with her “free content.” Through OnlyFans, she transforms these viewers into paying customers.
On OnlyFans, Amouranth offers sexually explicit content, such as nude photos or private shows, for fees.

Amouranth emphasizes the importance of the team she has built for her earnings.
Since Amouranth has a team, she is making real money on OnlyFans
This is what she says about the numbers: Even though Amouranth often flirts with her sexuality, her tweets are always about entrepreneurship and self-motivation.
Again, she emphasizes how proud she is of what she has achieved and how hard and persistently she had to work for it.
For her, the most important career step was apparently no longer doing everything alone as at the start of her career. She consciously involved employees in her projects. Since other people have become dependent on her, it motivates her even more to work and “grind,” as she calls it.
For her, the step out of her comfort zone was apparently so difficult and important that she keeps encouraging others to do the same:
Some people just dream and try to make their dreams come true this way, while others wake up and work hard to fulfill their dreams.
Look around and ask for help when you need it. Step out of your comfort zone into your growth zone.
As is known from Amouranth, she started earning these high sums of money, when she began building her own team and professionally marketing her sexual content.
This was apparently such an important step for her because she grew up rather isolated as a child. She had few friends, and her parents worked a lot. She had escaped into loneliness in costumes, video games, and fantasy worlds, as she once mentioned.
Other successful women on OnlyFans don’t earn even close to so much
This is how it’s being discussed: There are many comments on Twitter, impressed by the sheer amount. The Twitch streamer Esfand offers Amouranth money as he wants to fly to TwitchCon in Europe.
Others point out that Amouranth earns her money by showcasing her body, and that it is an “easy way” to make money. Amouranth is heavily criticized by some; they claim she only profits from “desperate gamers” – soon they won’t have any money left because of the recession, and then the good times for Amouranth will also be over.
Others say: They would also work towards fulfilling their dreams, but simply cannot make any progress. Apparently, they lack the luck that Amouranth has monopolized.
Amouranth says the death of her dog Viego motivates her to work hard today so that she can save more animals later.
A contribution comes from another OnlyFans user: She says she is in the top 0.45 % of OnlyFans and does not earn nearly as much as Amouranth. OnlyFans is a good platform, but one really needs to think about it before getting involved, as one cannot take back anything they publish there.
To sum it up a bit harshly:
Some men seeing the numbers say: “If only I were a woman” or “Women have it easier”
Women seeing these numbers say: “My earnings look completely different, no matter what I do” or “It’s way too hard to even come close to that amount”
Some content creators say it is extremely daunting for them to regularly fuel their OnlyFans channel. They cannot do this continuously but need longer breaks repeatedly, which greatly hinders their careers.

For Amouranth, the days of earning $1.5 million a month will soon be over. She says she knows she can’t keep this up forever and plans a complete overhaul of her content.
According to Amouranth, the past few months have been a pure grind to convert free viewers into customers. Apparently, despite all the money, she is slowly getting enough of it.
Aaryn Flynn, the CEO of Inflexion Games, spoke to MeinMMO in an interview about the upcoming survival game Nightingale. We talked about the world, the story, and the gameplay.
What kind of game is this?Nightingale resembles a bolder version of New World in its unique “Gaslamp Fantasy” setting. You play in a world where the Earth is on the verge of destruction due to a magical storm.
You are supposed to be the vanguard in a new world, ensuring that a safe haven for humanity is created. However, this world is already populated by fairy creatures and other magical beings.
As a survival sandbox game, you are to build your own base, craft equipment, and explore various worlds that you shape yourself. The head of the studio behind the game, Aaryn Flynn, has now spoken with us about what makes Nightingale so special. Here, we have summarized the most important points for you.
Here is the latest trailer for Nightingale:
Start video
Nightingale shows new trailer with PvE gameplay, looks more and more like Valheim
“It is important to us that players have the power to make decisions”
Nightingale places great emphasis on teamwork and is so far a pure PvE co-op game. The whole world is filled with fairy beings that you can encounter.
In the gameplay shown after the Summer Game Fest, you can see how a giant interacts with the players: once friendly and once hostile. It even destroys the players’ home. We asked Flynn about this, how the NPCs react to players:
With creatures like the giant, you have a choice. Respond to him kindly or in conflict. It is really important for our game that players have the power to decide what they can do. So they decide how to deal with the giant.
In this specific case, in the trailer, there is a scene with a gift for the giant. He bends down and extends his hand towards you. And then there is a scene where he goes berserk and tramples buildings.
If you attack the giant or do something to provoke his anger, he will come to get you and kill you. So it is up to you to start this conflict and decide whether you want to initiate a fight with the giant and bear the consequences.
Similarly, this should work with other factions as well. You will find NPCs like fairies and automatons in the world that you can engage with. However, the head of the studio did not reveal how exactly this will look.
PvP is not planned, according to Flynn, at least not for now. If at all, it might come later.
Aaryn Flynn, the head of Inflexion Studios, previously worked as head of Anthem.
Looks like New World, but is very different
From the first images of Nightingale, comparisons to New World quickly arose. The visuals strongly resemble Amazon’s MMORPG, and both games thematically draw from historical precedents. Flynn explains how the games differ:
[Nightingale] is fundamentally cooperative with many opportunities to ally and undertake things together – similar to New World. But we do not rely on PvP. We want to provide people with new adventures, let them meet new characters, and see new places.
There are also significant structural differences. New World is a world with a single, elongated continent. With us, everything revolves around realms. Each realm is connected to the others through portals.
You control the portals with the realm card system that we presented at the Summer Game Fest. With those, you determine the procedurally generated realms. If you want to go to a swamp, play a swamp card. Want to go to the desert? Play a desert card. And if you want to adjust the time to make it permanently night because maybe there are certain mushrooms that only appear at night, play a card that changes the time.
I would say these are the main differences. Both games draw inspiration from certain eras as a basis, but that’s where the similarities mostly end. New World also has fundamental survival and gathering gameplay, but beyond that, it becomes very different.
Nightingale is also not an MMO, but a co-op game. You play together with others, build a base collectively, and go on exploration. Through equipment, enchantments, and skills, you decide what role you take in a group.
Even in the first trailer, many fans – including editor Benedict Grothaus – thought of New World and Valheim:

Story, Bosses, and Personalities in World History
The story will make up a large part of Nightingale, although Flynn did not yet want to reveal what the game is actually about. Only that there will be new chapters ever so often, even post-release.
Part of the story will be boss fights that fit into the world. Similar to the bosses of Valheim, you will receive special resources for crafting from them.
However, the special thing about Nightingale is the world. The game is set in the Victorian era of the 19th century and takes place in a parallel world. Nevertheless, you will meet well-known figures there – for example, Marie Curie, who won the Nobel Prize multiple times as the only woman ever.
When will the game be released? Nightingale is set to enter Early Access on PC on Steam and Epic sometime in 2022. A specific date is still pending. Console versions are not outright ruled out, but currently, there are no plans for a port.
By the way, MeinMMO was already able to talk with Aaryn Flynn earlier. In the last interview, it was about what makes Nightingale special:
When does the alpha of WoW: Dragonflight finally start? The Blizzard launcher spoils: Very soon, as the data is already there.
The player base of World of Warcraft is slowly becoming restless, as the beta of WoW: Dragonflight has not yet started. But now there are new signs that the first test is imminent. Data miners have discovered something again…
What happened? As the site wowhead reports, data miners have found the first lines of code in the Battle.net launcher that clearly point to the alpha of Dragonflight. In a config file, for instance, the line “world_of_warcraft#WoW_DRAGON_INSTALL_BACKGROUND_V2” can be found – necessary files to download Dragonflight in the background. Other lines say things like “Alpha of Dragonflight”.
These are all unmistakable signs that the alpha and then the beta are basically ready to launch. So we should expect to finally see our first experiences from Dragonflight in the coming days – if the public is invited to these tests.
Why is this so important? Especially because time is running out for the developers to start a comprehensive test. World of Warcraft Dragonflight is set to release in 2022, as Blizzard stated during the pre-sale. By December 31, 2022, the game must be complete and in the hands of customers – in less than 6 months.
The remaining time for a comprehensive test is shrinking every day, so the room for maneuver is becoming smaller to respond to community feedback and make larger adjustments if necessary.
How can one participate in the alpha? If you want a chance to get into the alpha or beta of Dragonflight, you can easily sign up for the test. This can be done on the official World of Warcraft site. We have outlined the individual steps for beta registration here.
Are you looking forward to an alpha or beta of Dragonflight? Or would you rather wait for the release and want to avoid spoilers as much as possible?

The role-playing game “Skyrim” (2011) is considered one of the best video games of the last 15 years by many. While there is an official MMORPG with “The Elder Scrolls Online“, a mod caught attention in July 2022 that transforms Skyrim into a multiplayer game for 2 to 8 people. The developers have even tested it with 30 players. For many, a dream comes true: playing Skyrim in coop mode.
This is the idea of the project:
Skyrim Together Reborn is a mod by the “The Together Team”. Their stated goal is to bring the multiplayer experience to Skyrim and Fallout 4, “the one we all dreamed of.”
The team mainly consists of students who want to develop a coop experience for Bethesda’s cult RPGs. They say: They are not developing an MMO but have tested the version of Skyrim with more than 30 people.
The new version of Skyrim Together was released on July 8th and the mod has since gained about 59,000 downloads – making it very popular.
What do you need to play the mod? You need the Skyrim Special Edition 1.6 on Steam – the team says: You do not need the Anniversary Update, they even recommend playing without the Anniversary Update.
They do not support Virtual Reality, consoles, or other editions.
Skyrim with shared quest progress is a dream for many fans
What are the reactions? The reactions make it clear that it is a mod that many people wished for, as you can now “play through Skyrim together”, in coop mode with shared resources and quest progress.
Skyrim has many players who “live” it and apparently want to share the experience with their friends.
One user says: “I never thought it would happen – but now it is. Thank you, guys. Great job.”
At the moment, however, the positive reactions are overshadowed by technical inquiries, such as:
Which other mods still support the multiplayer mod?
How exactly do you play with other people?
How do you bypass certain issues?
This is what it’s all about: Anyone who gets involved with mods must have a bit of a knack for tinkering and experimenting and bring a lot of time to get everything up and running, but once they do, they can fulfill their wishes to adapt the game to their needs.
“Playing Skyrim together” seems to be something many have been waiting for. However, those who have no experience with mods might want to give the developers a few more weeks until they possibly fix some of the technical problems that first players are encountering.
For those who like “coop” games, without having to deal with technical details:
An exclusive title is available in World of Warcraft for a limited time only. We will reveal how you can unlock it.
Update 07.10.2022: Today, on 07.10.2022, is a chance to secure the title. Starting at 19:00, you can watch the final of the MDI on the German Warcraft channel and earn the title while doing so.
Original story: In World of Warcraft, the major esports events around the MDI (“Mythic Dungeon International”) and the arena tournaments will take place in the coming weeks. But there is also something to be gained for all other players, namely a very special title.
What kind of title is it? The title is the “Fearless Spectator.” This title can only be earned during the esports events 2022 about World of Warcraft, specifically between July 8 and July 24.
How can you get the title? It works in a similar way to the Twitch Drops – only this time on YouTube. You need to watch the respective channels for a total of 2 hours during the tournaments. To make this work, you need to have linked your Battle.net account to your YouTube account.
By the way: You don’t have to watch the two hours in one go. You can split the time and also distribute it over several weekends. However, it’s probably easiest to just let the stream run in the background at the first opportunity.
How do you link the two accounts? It’s relatively simple, just follow these steps:
Log in to YouTube with your YouTube account.
Go to settings and then “Linked Apps”.
Next to Battle.net, choose “Link accounts”.
Confirm the linkage in the upcoming windows.
If you have multiple Battle.net accounts, make sure you are logged in with the right one to unlock the title correctly.
Can you get the title again later? It’s rather unlikely. Usually, Blizzard gives different seasons different names and thus various titles. At the next tournament, there will probably be a different title if Blizzard repeats this kind of promotion.
This will definitely be the appropriate title for visiting the LFR raid or Goldshire on a role-playing realm…
What do you think of this way of getting a title? A good idea or rather annoying that you have to watch videos for it?

In September 2021, the new MMORPG New World launched and immediately created a huge hype on Steam. 9 months later, it has lost over 90% of its players. Where do the problems lie, and can the game still make a turnaround? We discuss this in the MeinMMO-Podcast.
New World initially celebrated great success. Over 900,000 players were online simultaneously during the release weekend. The MMORPG also achieved success on Twitch. So, at first, everything looked good.
But the hype faded quickly. Players criticized uninspired quests, long leveling phases, the clunky combat system, dozens of bugs, and gold dupes. Hardcore players also complained about the lack of endgame content and long travel times after just a few days.
Now, 9 months after the release of New World, the MMO stands on the brink, as player numbers are dangerously low. Nevertheless, there is hope due to regular updates and the core concept.
Schuhmann, Alex, and Leya discuss what the problems of New World are and how the game might still make a turnaround.
Here’s how you can participate: You can actively contribute to the improvement of the podcast. If you have feedback such as suggestions or criticism or simply want to submit a cool topic proposal that should be discussed urgently, feel free to visit our Discord server.

In Destiny 2, players have had the chanceto forge their own Godrolls since Witch Queen. This finally ends the gamble with some good weapons. But doesn’t the crafting feature automatically destroy the most important aspect of the loot shooter? We wanted to find out.
What makes Destiny 1 & 2 special? In the loot shooter from Bungie, it’s mainly about loot. Items that you can randomly obtain from activities, not knowing beforehand what perks or stats you can expect. Everything is based on the RNG system. With RNG, gamers mean a random principle that you cannot influence.
Either you play a mission and receive an exotic, or you run the mission 20 times and, in the worst case, you won’t even get a blue engram. This system made Destiny 1 popular. As a result, weapons and armor feel unique and drive players to spend hours in the space shooter.
After the release of Witch Queen, however, Guardians are no longer so reliant on the RNG god, but on their effort. With enough time, you can forge your own Godroll more focused and directly than farming for activities.
That sounds like a cool thing at first and heavenly for players with a streak of bad luck, but doesn’t this feature ruin the most important aspect of Destiny?
Two worlds collide
Does weapon crafting destroy Destiny 2? You can’t answer this question so broadly. Fundamentally, weapon crafting is a good thing as long as Bungie refines and implements it correctly.
A significant part of the randomly generated principle is definitely lost because some good weapons can be crafted to your requirements. They no longer need to be farmed for hours in an activity.
Guardians spend hours forging their weapon.
But that’s not really a problem because Bungie differentiates which weapons need to be farmed and which can be calmly crafted in the forge.
However, the list will steadily grow according to Bungie after Witch Queen. So, it could be that more familiar firearms will find their way into your blueprint collection in the future.
Should the forge be removed? Definitely not. Bungie has decided which weapons can be crafted and which cannot. With this implementation, the developers have provided you with a secure but tougher source to create your Godroll.
Guardians who forge their Godroll also spend hours unlocking their weapon plans and crafting according to their preferences. Thus, players are not taking a shortcut, but rather the direct but longer path to hold their dream gun in their hands.
Even the YouTuber Aztecross believes that both features can continue to exist in harmony in Destiny 2. It is solely up to Bungie how effectively they will refine and improve the forge and which weapons can be crafted and which cannot.
In this context, the YouTuber states that there are weapons that are better farmed than crafted and vice versa. Thus, the new feature of the Witch Queen expansion does not outweigh as “the best source,” but only as another option that Guardians can reliably utilize.
Bungie must and should clearly maintain the boundary regarding which weapons can be crafted and which cannot. If this boundary is crossed, the forge could indeed destroy the most important feature of Destiny 2.
What do you think of the forge? Do you find it good? Or would you like all weapons to be craftable eventually? Let us know what Bungie should still change to make crafting perfect!

If you are currently looking for MMORPGs, you can find dozens of titles on Steam alone. These are rated more or less well. But could you recognize which game it is based solely on the Steam review? Find out in our quiz.
What is it about? We at MeinMMO have looked at over 25 different MMORPGs on Steam and sifted through the reviews. For each, we have selected a review that describes the MMORPG without directly revealing which game it is.
We have mostly relied on positive reviews, but sometimes also on negative ones. If the name of the game or the game world was mentioned, we have shortened it to make it not too easy for you.
This quiz is already the second of its kind. If you’re interested, you can already play the first edition here. However, no prior knowledge is required to start directly with the second part.
How does the quiz work? In each round, you will be presented with a review exactly as it was written on Steam. The majority of the reviews were made in English, but for better understanding, we have translated them into German and lightly smoothed the language.
After you have read the review, you will have four answer options to choose from. One of these answers is correct, the other three are made up. Keep in mind that you can only select one answer and this choice cannot be undone.

The most annoying resource in the current World of Warcraft is Cosmic Flux. However, it has now become much more manageable.
Although World of Warcraft originally planned to introduce fewer new resources, that seems to have failed with Shadowlands. There are numerous important currencies, and some are even mandatory if you want to play a character properly. The currently most important one is likely “Cosmic Flux,” as it is needed for character progression. From now on, you can also send the Flux to Twinks!
What has changed? Blizzard initially wanted to introduce the change only with the start of Season 4, but has now sneakily incorporated it into the live version of the game, and from now on, you can buy a “Pouch of Prodigious Wonders” in Zereth Mortis from the Armorsmith.
For 1,500 Flux, you can send 1,250 Flux to Twinks.
This pouch costs 1,500 Cosmic Flux to purchase and can then be sent to other characters – it is account-bound. However, you lose about 17% of the Flux with the pouch, as the corresponding character only receives 1,250 Cosmic Flux upon use.
Although this results in a loss, most players have very large amounts of Flux on one character, so it shouldn’t be a problem.
What is Cosmic Flux used for? Cosmic Flux is currently primarily needed for two things. You need the Flux to:
Craft legendary items at the highest level (291). Cosmic Flux is one of the resources needed by the Rune Carver.
Transform strong gear at the Creation Catalyst into tier set pieces. Only with the Flux is transformation possible.
If you want to play a character at endgame, you can’t avoid Flux because only with legendary items and tier set gear do characters reach their full potential.
The problem here was that Cosmic Flux was primarily found in Zereth Mortis, an endgame area. However, many players do not want to visit this location multiple times and therefore wished for a way to provide their characters with Flux otherwise. Thus, a means was created to transfer Flux between characters.
The solution with the Flux is quite similar to what has already been done with other resources like Soul Ash or SoulCinders.
What do you think of this change?

For the killer dating sim “Hooked on You”, we at MeinMMO asked the developers in an interview what this crazy game is all about: After all, it’s a dating game, but you date the killers from “Dead by Daylight”.
When you think of Dead by Daylight, you instantly picture matches full of adrenaline. Big, nasty killers hunt down four survivors who desperately try to escape the round or soon meet a gruesome end on the butcher hook.
But then apparently there were enough players who thought: “This brutal, nasty, and cruel killer … somehow looks hot!” Otherwise, it’s hard to explain why the developer Behaviour thought: “Dead by Daylight needs a dating sim!” The result is “Hooked on You”, a dating simulation where four of the creepy killers can be dated on the beach.
We asked the developers: What the hell were you thinking? And more importantly – can you date all the killers at once?
Start video
Hooked on You im Trailer
MeinMMO: Let’s start with a very simple question from all “Dead by Daylight” players who don’t check the subreddits and forums of the game. It can be summed up well with: Why?
Behaviour Interactive:That is probably the most important question.
Last year, we conducted a community-driven survey where we asked our players what other types of experiences they would like to play in the world of Dead by Daylight. The idea of a dating simulation was one of the top choices. Because it’s so completely crazy, we thought we had to implement it right away! At almost every meeting with our team, it was the same. People look at you funny, scoff, laugh, and then pause to realize that it’s actually brilliant.
We’ve known for years that our fans were craving hot content and are also aware of some of the more intense fan fictions that have emerged, so we decided to give them what they want. However, we had to present it in the right way, with all the seriousness it deserves, which is why we teamed up with Psyop. With their help, we created our first visual novel, which I think is truly magical.
The Spirit is one of the “dateable” killers – if you’re into chopped-up goth girls.
Although it’s quite obvious that Hooked on You won’t play in the official canon universe of Dead by Daylight, can we expect some new details about the characters to be revealed that might be part of their original story? Or is it pure fiction of a fiction?
The fantastic thing about “Hooked on You: A Dead by Daylight Dating Sim” is that it starts with our killers that the fans have come to know and love – only they are placed in a different, more relaxed setting. Although Hooked on You: A Dead by Daylight Dating Sim doesn’t belong to the canon, the killers on Murder Island are somewhat softer versions of themselves, but their personalities and character traits remain similar.
When I go on vacation, I’m a gentler, more open version of myself, which is good for meeting new people. I feel more talkative with a cold drink in hand while enjoying the warm sun on the beach – just like our beloved killers. So yes, they can share unexpected things about themselves in this context. But amidst all that, they are still the same dangerous and crazy monsters.
Survivors like Dwight and Claudette at least have a brief appearance as side characters.
How did you decide which killers would be part of the game?
That was a very difficult task for us, as we know that fans have their favorite characters – and although we want to please them, we also had to decide on an original cast for Murder Island.
We chose the favorite characters of the fans, but also some of our oldest killers: the Trapper, who is literally the poster child for Dead by Daylight, the Huntress, who is played by so many, the Ghost, who is just visually so interesting, and the Huntress, who has been cosplay more often than any other. We felt that these four as a core group would spark the imagination of a variety of players, and that’s how we made our choice.
Can you tell a little about the different personalities of the killers in the game?
I will refer to the dating app profiles of our killers because they explain it better than I could.
The Trapper: This alpha male, as big as a mountain, prefers to kill in caves, on beaches, and pools. Players can prepare to seek the trapdoor to his heart – and whether it’s worth getting caught. Or they mess it up and become his next victim. He will have fun either way.
The Trapper is a true flesh giant. Definitely cuddle-able.
The Huntress: The Huntress wants it all: love, family, and someone to help her butcher men in the woods. Is she a human? A beast? No idea. But her arms are out of this world! Now this lovable, squirrel-eating lady has stepped out of the woods and is ready to let Cupid’s axe fly in her new search for love.
The Huntress just wants some love. And to butcher men in the woods. Relatable.
The Ghost: The Ghost is so much more than just sex appeal. Behind the lean man lies a quiet, curious, sensitive boy. Did that come across super weird? Yes, it did. Are we going to change it? No, because the Ghost wouldn’t either. He meets everyone with open arms, no matter how super weird, and that makes him special.
A sensitive guy who really loves listening to music with chimes.
The Spirit: The Spirit is not your average gothic girlfriend with a penchant for all things ghostly – she’s literally a ghost. You find her in the shadows with a stack of classic horror novels. She avoids any boring beach activity that everyone else is busy with. The Spirit isn’t competing for hearts. If she wanted to, she’d just cut it out with her katana.
Deathcute. Literally.
One of the game’s slogans is “Find love or die trying”, which is pretty dark for a dating game. Will the game actually have death as a possible outcome?
While we can’t reveal anything, it’s important to remember that these are indeed killers. As mentioned earlier, their personalities that players have come to love in Dead by Daylight remain the same – they are just taken out of the world of the Entity and placed in a more tropical setting. I would advise extreme caution when dealing with them.
While the first trailer looks pretty nice, the game still seems to contain some of the creepier aspects of Dead by Daylight, like the Spirit being cut up, revealing flesh, tendons, and bones. Will this level of “gore” also be found in other parts of the game?
It was very important for us to preserve all aspects of our killers. The Spirit is who she is – skin and bones and all. We just thought it would be so much fun to move our killers out of that dark, horrifying environment – the realm of the Entity – to this sunny, exotic, sexy place. We love this contrast that these two universes represent: yes, our killers are sexier and well-dressed, but they are still, you know, threatening and dark.
How much fan service should the dating game have? – “Yes.”
Can we expect other characters from Dead by Daylight to appear in the game, maybe as side characters? Or will it focus solely on the Trapper, the Huntress, the Ghost, and the Spirit?
That’s definitely the most delicate question. So many of our fans have their favorite characters and are looking forward to spending special time with them. We understand that. And while this is the first visual novel in the Dead by Daylight universe, I feel that it certainly won’t be the last time we tell these kinds of stories. We’ve opened a box here that our fans will never let us close again. Not that we would want to!
Dead by Daylight players can usually never get enough of… well, everything. Since Hooked On You is a dating simulation, will there be a possible “harem” route where you can end up with all the killers?
This made me laugh! We are aware of our fans’ insatiable thirst and have visited the more enticing sides of our community. Never say never – but for now, let’s just say that we will focus on a one-to-one dynamic.
While “Introduce sex in Dead by Daylight” was a rather “meme-like” wish of the community, the announcement of Hooked on You has raised hope among fans. But the question remains unanswered: Will there be sex in the game?
The game is intended for an adult audience, and since it’s a Dead by Daylight dating simulation, surprises are also in store. Besides, is it NSFW? Well, fans will have to experience it themselves to find out! Dead by Daylight has always focused more on building tension and anticipation for the action than on graphic representation, but we’ll let you find that out for yourselves.
Will you play Hooked on You when it is released this summer? Or is the game clearly too crazy and will be played only on the secret second account that your friends must never see?

The MOBA Heroes of the Storm by Blizzard is officially dead. The game is shifting to maintenance mode – no new content will be released.
It has been evident for quite some time, but now the (unfortunately) moment has come. The MOBA from Blizzard, Heroes of the Storm, is practically dead. The developers have announced that the game will now enter maintenance mode. This likely marks the last chapter in the history of this Blizzard game.
What did Blizzard say? In an official blog post, Blizzard spoke about Heroes of the Storm. They mentioned that HotS is now celebrating its 7th birthday this June – only to follow it up with bad news for the fans. It states:
In the future, we will support Heroes [of the Storm] in a similar way to our other long-standing games StarCraft and StarCraft II.
Or in other words: The game will enter “maintenance mode”.
There is a farewell gift: Next week, there will be a small patch that activates the mount “Epic Arcane Chaos Axe” for all players.
What does maintenance mode mean? This means that there will be no new content in the game. New heroes, maps, or skins are essentially dead. However, the shop will remain active, and all features necessary for normal operation – such as rotating hero selections – will continue to function. The developers also want to further improve the game client and make balance changes when necessary.
However, no one should expect major hero reworks, as we have seen in recent years. The game will largely remain in its current state.
HotS has brought together many heroes – and now it’s over.
How have the last years been for HotS? Rather slow. Several years ago, it was announced at BlizzCon that the development team for HotS was drastically reduced. New heroes arrived only very rarely. From “one new hero every 2-3 months” it became “one new hero per year” – and now indeed none at all. Even back then, many suspected that it was only a matter of time before the development of new content would cease entirely – that time has now come.
What did Heroes of the Storm want to be? With Heroes of the Storm, Blizzard aimed to provide an answer to DOTA and League of Legends. They wanted to score with the well-known Blizzard heroes from all major franchises.
Unlike other MOBAs on the market, it had some unique features. For instance, HotS did not use a shop system and instead utilized talents. The entire team also shared an experience level, allowing everyone to work towards a common goal. Additionally, every map had extra objectives that went beyond the simple “break the enemy defense.” These objectives forced team fights and gave the game its own dynamic.
Nonetheless, Heroes of the Storm simply could never take off like other MOBAs – partly because it missed the right timing.
Will you still play Heroes of the Storm in maintenance mode? Or will this MOBA finally be removed from your hard drive with this announcement?

In FIFA 22 Ultimate Team, the Shapeshifters event continues. Team 4 is up, bringing more crazy cards to FUT players.
Update, July 8, 19:00: The fourth Shapeshifters team is now available, bringing a bunch of new crazy cards. For example, there are now new top cards for Adebi Pelé (98), Di Natale (97), and Kanté (98), who is now found in the attacking midfield.
You can see the complete team here:
Here continues with the original article.
When does the Shapeshifters Team 4 come out? The new Shapeshifters special cards from Team 4 will be released on July 8, at 19:00, in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team.
What kind of event is this? The Shapeshifters event brings new special cards to Ultimate Team, which are especially notable for their crazy position changes. For instance, there have been crazy striker cards for Marcelo and Sergio Ramos in the last few weeks, who are usually found in defense.
Additionally, Shapeshifters Team 3 brought new and incredibly strong Shapeshifters Hero cards into the game. For example, a Mario Gomez card that can be played as a center back.
Here’s how to get the new special cards: The new Shapeshifters cards from Team 4 will mainly be found in the packs of FIFA 22. However, it is likely that some cards will also be available in weekly objectives or SBCs (Squad Building Challenges).
These leaks already exist: The well-known FUT leaker Fut Sheriff (via Twitter), who has frequently hit the mark with his leaks, has published initial leaks on Twitter regarding the new Shapeshifters special cards from Team 4.
There is supposed to be a Dual-SBC (Squad Building Challenge) for Diego Milito. However, the FUT leaker cannot yet say which positions the actual striker will be found in.
Here you can see what the cards might look like:

Otherwise, it is quite quiet regarding leaks about the new cards. We will update this post as soon as new information about Shapeshifters Team 4 becomes available.

It is said that they want to “deeply apologize to everyone who felt attacked by the posting.” They know they fell short of the expectations of the fans and their own standards.

FaZe has frequently been involved in controversies, most recently they tried to make an example:
The team “Atlanta FaZe” has some of the best American professional players in Esports from Call of Duty under contract. But a post went horribly wrong on social media: They published a picture on Twitter of 8 well-known male CoD professionals with a filter that portrays them as women. And asked: “How many drinks to take them home?” – That was a mistake for which they had to apologize.
Atlanta FaZe had to apologize for this post:
Atlanta FaZe published a picture on Twitter on July 5 that showed 8 male “Call of Duty” professionals with a “This is what they would look like as women” filter. They tagged it with the hashtag “EZAF” – meaning “easy as fuck” – extremely easy or simply “FaZe” read backwards
The accompanying text read: “How many drinks to take them home?”
Using the “gender-swap filter,” players such as Seth “Scump” Abner or Chris “Simp” Lehr were featured.
Fucking do better. This never should have been written, let alone left drafts. pic.twitter.com/8teBOXyos6
Why is the image so problematic? The image is mainly considered problematic because of the question “How many drinks to take them home”.
Because the question can be read in two ways:
Either the man has to get drunk to engage with one of the women
Or the men have to get the women drunk to hook up with them
In any case, alcohol consumption is closely linked to sexuality and somewhere women are to be evaluated based on their sexual attractiveness.
This is something many people have a problem with on Twitter. They make this clear in their comments:
“Absolutely disgusting. Can’t say I’m surprised though. Just typical FaZe bro bullshit.”
“What were they thinking when they posted this?”
“For fuck’s sake, put in more effort. This should never have been written and certainly should not have left drafts.”
“To clarify: The filters themselves were not problematic at all. Everyone can deal with that. But how do we talk about women here? About how ‘hottable’ they are?”
There are also some who defend FaZe:
“I feel like this is a matter of perception. The meaning of the post is: “How many drinks do you need to take them home?” because someone sober would clearly see that these are men with filters – not real women.”
“The fact that one must apologize for a filter is so dumb. This is just something on the internet that everyone knows with a pinch of humor.”
“It’s absolutely insane that stuff like this upsets people nowadays. The world has become so soft, man. I’m totally for women’s rights and equal rights, but these were just a few professional players in a women filter. It looked funny and it was damn funny. My God.”

Under the post by Jake Luckey, who juxtaposes both tweets, there are pros and cons.
This is how the clan reacts: The team “Atlanta FaZe” apologized two days later, on July 7, for the “misguided” tweet, stating it wasn’t okay (via twitter):
“We understand that there is no room for misogyny or harassment and that women and the Call of Duty community deserve better.”

Alberto LLoria is an author at our Spanish partner site 3DJuegos.com and has been playing the Battle Royal Apex Legends since its release. However, he has noticed that Apex Legends Mobile seems to be of greater importance to EA, which gives him an uneasy feeling.
Battle Royales have taken on many, many genres in multiplayer. For years, we lived in a situation where we saw more and more multiplayer as a game mode in story titles that didn’t necessarily need an online component.
This transformation of the online genre into “Massively Multiplayer” titles that are not necessarily related to MMOs has undergone a very rapid, unforeseen, and significant development for mobile devices.
The importance of these small devices that we all own is remarkable in the field of video games, and the “Battle Royale” games did not want to miss out on their advantages.
With Apex Legends Mobile, the newest title in the lineup of mobile versions – at least until Warzone Mobile is released – something very strange and even alarming has happened for the player closeto the title. That is, Electronic Arts seems to have given this version a preferred position compared to its PC counterpart.
I have been a player of the Battle Royale since it was released not less than three years ago, and like me, many other players have remained with the game despite the significant changes it has undergone.
EA has separated the Mobile version of Apex Legends – which is surprisingly solid and on par with Fortnite and Call of Duty (not Warzone) – from the “original game” and presented it as a standalone title that even surpasses the original.
But how is that possible? Aside from the graphics, which have clearly been tailored for mobile devices, we are talking about a particular interest from Electronic Arts to incorporate everything the community has requested for the PC and console version.
Not only does the Mobile version have exclusive skins and characters, which must catch attention, but the game also runs better overall.
One of the issues that have plagued the PC and console versions of the game is that Electronic Arts has failed to give the servers of the game the highest importance during crucial phases.
The arrival of new seasons, which is normal for this type of Free2Play title, can be summarized with an almost guaranteed downtime over several hours that in some cases prevents players from enjoying their favorite game.
Respawn Entertainment has been struggling with these hard-to-tame servers for some time, but the mobile game features dedicated servers with surprising stability.
Furthermore, it involves an online infrastructure that allows you to set up your own games with your own parameters and even passwords to prevent unwanted access by other players.
Many of the playable characters have reverted to an earlier state. Some characters, such as Lifeline, have even regained features that were removed from the character years ago, leading to a usage rate of less than 5% worldwide.
Everything that could lead to satisfying players with a stable online mode has completely passed over the base game.
Apex Legends Mobile has a mode and map rotation. In fact, we can select which map we want in all game modes without being aware of which daily rotation is being played. Additionally, the rewards have been revamped, and the focus is on fun gameplay, apart from the login requirement that is at the forefront in the “full version” of the game.
Away from the comparisons, what does all this tell us? Apex Legends is being devoured by itself on a different platform, which is strange enough.
The situation at Respawn seems to show us that they want to position themselves well with a new type of audience by giving in and doing everything for them while others just watch passively.
This is nothing we have never seen before. After all, it pays off to “pamper” potential players with a new product. But it is the first time we experience such a situation where a rather secondary product devours its main version, and they no longer coexist. The result of that, along with the impatience of the main game’s players, gives me an uneasy feeling.
