LoL brings huge balance changes with the next update – Nerfs over 30 items

Alexander Leitsch 17. May 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

League of Legends has released the new patch 12.10 on the test servers. This update will make some significant changes to the game, primarily weakening healing and shields. More than 30 items will be revised.

What is the goal of the update? For several years, players have complained in LoL that the fights end far too quickly. The damage is too high, while healing and shields have been severely strengthened to counter the high damage.

This “ping-pong” meta was criticized by former LoL pro Doublelift back in October 2021. Since then, the situation has only gotten worse from the perspective of many players.

The new patch 12.10 aims to increase the natural resistance of champions while simultaneously weakening shields, healing, and damage.
Additionally, the “Grievous Wounds” will not reduce healing as significantly as before.
Overall, fights are meant to be slower.

However, Riot does not want to establish a meta where tanks live indefinitely and no kills happen in the first 15 minutes. This balancing act will likely be challenging, although the mentioned changes have initially received positive feedback from the community.

What do you think about the planned adjustments? Are the adjustments to healing and damage enough to solve the problem, and are you concerned that Riot might weaken healing too much and damage too little? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.

Recently, Riot had to adjust a champion because a Twitch streamer used a crazy suicide tactic:

A TV under 200 euros is currently a bestseller on Amazon – Is the device worth it for PS5 and Xbox?

Benedikt Schlotmann 17. May 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

On Amazon, a TV is a bestseller. You can currently get the TV for less than 200 euros. But what can the device do, and is the TV suitable for PS5 and Xbox Series X?

What are these bestsellers? The retailer Amazon creates so-called “bestsellers” for various products and categories. These numbers are based on the most orders and are updated hourly by Amazon. Therefore, it is easy to see which products are currently popular among potential customers.

Currently, a TV is among the bestsellers on Amazon. We have taken a look at what kind of device this is.

The TV for 200 euros lacks many gaming features

What kind of device is it? The TV is the Hisense A4EG. Hisense is a Chinese electronics company that offers various products like TVs and refrigerators.

The device is available in both a 32-inch and a 40-inch variant. The devices use the “Vidaa U” user interface. Externally, it resembles Android TV but has some peculiarities. You can install the most important apps like Netflix, Amazon Video, or Disney+.

What technology is in the device? The device is available in both 32 and 40 inches, but you should not choose the 32-inch model. The smaller TV only offers a resolution of 1366×768 (HD), which is hardly contemporary today. The 40-inch variant at least offers Full HD (1920×1080).

You should activate the new feature of the Xbox Series X now to avoid annoying others in multiplayer

von Benedikt Schlotmann

Otherwise, both TVs are identical: They both offer a refresh rate of 60 Hz and use HDMI 1.4. The TVs also have neither HDR nor Bluetooth. On the back, you will find two HDMI ports and additionally two USB ports. However, these ports only offer 2.0. That is also only conditionally contemporary.

Oops, unfortunately this affiliate widget is no longer available.

The TV is only conditionally worth it for PS5 and Xbox and is more of a secondary TV

Is the device worth it for PS5 and Xbox Series X? If you want to get the full potential out of your new console, then this model is not worth it for you: You won’t get HDMI 2.1, no Bluetooth, and you’ll get a maximum resolution of Full HD.

While the device does offer a gaming mode, the latency is stated by the manufacturer at 50 ms, which is above the competition. This is still acceptable and sufficient for games, but values of 35 ms and less are recommended (via dein-fernseher.de).

If you are instead looking for a secondary TV for your guest room or your Xbox Series S, then the Hisense TV might be worth a look. However, you should choose the 40-inch model with Full HD, even though the 170 euros for the 32-inch model sounds tempting.

Recommended TVs for PS5 and Xbox: If you are looking for a TV that meets the requirements of your PS5 or Xbox Series X, then take a look at the following purchasing advice. Here we explain what to consider when buying a TV:

I have tested all the functions of my gaming monitor and for at least one I should be banned

Dariusz Müller 17. May 2022 Reading time 6 minutes

In many games, cheating is a major problem. A well-functioning anti-cheat system is essential nowadays. But what if the cheat cannot be detected because it is not a downloaded software but rather a feature of the monitor? MeinMMO author Dariusz Müller has tested the special features of his gaming monitor for you.

Which monitor is being tested? The tested monitor is the M27Q from Taiwanese computer hardware manufacturer Gigabyte. In addition to special gaming features, the monitor is characterized by the following aspects:

Image quality: QHD
Resolution: 2,560 x 1,440p
Screen diagonal: 27 inches (68.58 cm)
Panel type: IPS
Refresh rate: 170 Hz
Response time: 0.5 ms
Not Curved

What unfair features does the monitor have? Technology is constantly evolving, and gaming equipment is acquiring more and more extravagant features. This also applies to monitors. I will show you 3 unfair features that the tested gaming monitor has.

The crosshair
The aim magnifier
The black equalizer

Order Gigabyte M27Q at MediaMarkt*

In which game were the features tested? The three unfair features were tested in games where PvP is played. The test was intended to show whether the features are indeed unfair in PvP duels or prove to be useless. The test was most meaningful in the following games:

von Benedikt Schlotmann

The crosshair

What is the crosshair? A well-known and accordingly widespread feature of modern gaming monitors is the integrated crosshair. This is a simple crosshair displayed in the center of the screen.

The integrated crosshair is not influenced by the movement of the in-game character and is always perfectly centered. It is also available in games where there is usually no crosshair.

How did the crosshair test go? In Valorant and Rainbow: Six Siege, the crosshair is useless, as there are crosshairs in these games. However, in Hell Let Loose, the crosshair proved to be very unfair.

Hell Let Loose is a hardcore shooter and is characterized mainly by the fact that the game dispenses with all aids. There is no crosshair, and the large, chaotic battlefields of World War II in which you play in Hell Let Loose provide few clues to accurately predict the height of an opponent’s head.

Especially in moments when an enemy suddenly jumped out of a trench in front of me, the crosshair proved to be a powerful tool. I could quickly aim for the enemy’s head without aiming down sights. Then I just had to glance through the sights and fire.

The crosshair gave me a noticeable unfair advantage in Hell Let Loose. Anyone who wants to play fairly should stay away from this feature. I assert that if the existence of the crosshair could be proven, it could lead to bans in many games.

More on the topic

Hell Let Loose was considered the ‘Anti-Battlefield’ at its Steam release – How is the WW2 shooter doing in 2022?

von Dariusz Müller

Why is the crosshair unfair? If a game does not have a crosshair, it can be quite difficult for some players to focus on and keep an eye on enemies, interesting points, cover, or other targets.

Generally, you want to aim for the head of your opponent in shooters. But your opponent wants to do the same. In a fight, it comes down not only to precision of shots but also to who is faster at aiming for the opponent’s head.

In many games, it is therefore important to know at what height the opponent’s head is located. You place your crosshair at that height even when no one is around.

When an enemy player appears in front of you, you are faster at aiming for the enemy’s head than if your crosshair points at your feet. The center of your crosshair is also the center of your sight.

However, if you do not have a crosshair, it is much more difficult to assess at what height you need to aim before you look through the sights. This leads to many players having to readjust after they have aimed.

If you have a crosshair in a game without one, you have an unfair advantage. Parade examples of affected games are hardcore shooters like Escape from Tarkov, Hell Let Loose, or Squad.

Gaming monitors offer you a controversial feature – players consider it cheating

von Benedikt Schlotmann

The aim magnifier

What is the aim magnifier? As the translation reveals, the aim magnifier is a magnifying glass. More precisely, this feature is a magnifying glass for the sights.

Unlike the screen magnifier in Windows, the aim magnifier does not enlarge the entire screen by X-hundred percent, but only increases the zoom in a rectangular area where your sights are shown in shooters.

There are 4 settings for the magnifier

The strength of the zoom (x1.2; x1.5; and 2.0)
The size of the zoomed rectangle (small, medium, large)
A frame that separates the enlarged rectangle from the rest of the screen, so you can see red boxes on your screen even without software (optional in red or white)
The position: If you do not want the magnifier to be centered in a game because your crosshair or similar is not in the middle of the screen, you can easily move it.

How did the test go? In Valorant, contrary to my expectations, the magnifier proved to be a disadvantage. The advantage of magnification was hardly noticeable in combat at longer distances and a significant disadvantage at close distances.

In Rainbow Six: Siege, I particularly felt that it could be an unfair advantage, especially with the already nasty spawn peeks. However, the necessity of the magnifier in Ubisoft’s tactical shooter is not given.

Everything that works with the magnifier in Rainbow Six: Siege works wonderfully without it. However, the usual movement and mindless orientation through the map suffered due to the increased zoom.

I noticed how I bumped into small objects on the ground because distances and speeds seemed completely altered and were harder to gauge.

Why is the magnifier unfair? In Hell Let Loose and other games with large distances, however, the magnifier proved to be extremely unfair. Since the shooter is set in World War II, sights with a twofold magnification are not standard.

I now had this magnification on weapons that do not have a sight. With the magnifier, I could look over wide fields and spot enemies much better. Not only did I see this as extremely unfair, but also my teammate, who had to laugh loudly with every kill.

I was turned into a sniper by my monitor, even though I was playing as a medic. Even enemies that hid like wild Pokémon in the tall grass could see me while opponents sometimes did not even have the luxury of a sight.

I deliberately refrained from playing classes with stronger weapons, such as a machine gun. Since I already felt how strong the magnifier is with the medic’s single-shot weapon, I couldn’t reconcile the test with an automatic weapon in good conscience.

I am sure that if the admins of the server we were playing on in Hell Let Loose had known about my test, it would have been my last day on the server. I could not have complained about the ban.

The black equalizer

What is the black equalizer? The black equalizer is a feature designed to make dark objects, people, and corners more visible.

For example, if an opponent is sitting in a dark, poorly lit corner in a shooter, they should be made more visible by using this feature.

How did the test go? It is worth noting positively that the black equalizer indeed brightens dark areas. But I can also achieve the same effect on Instagram by fiddling around with the contrast and brightness slider.

The black equalizer essentially does the exact same thing. Logically, my amateur image processing on Instagram does not help me in a shooter on PC. Furthermore, the black equalizer works almost equally “well” in nearly every game.

In general, the black equalizer is not useful, as it always negatively affects the game’s contrasts. Nevertheless, you can use this feature to gain a minimal advantage.

The situations in which it helped me in my test were, however, extremely rare, as nowadays many games require good lighting of the maps, and developers consciously pay attention to this.

Why is the black equalizer still an unfair advantage? When you play a game with many dark corners on the maps and opponents are often overlooked in the dark, all players suffer from the poor lighting.

However, if you use the black equalizer to brighten the darkness of a game and accept the poorer contrasts in order to perform as well as possible, you have an advantage over the other players.

You suddenly see opponents where they cannot see you and can therefore play angles that surprise your enemies. It is an unfair advantage.

Cheating is one of the biggest problems in numerous games and especially a challenge for developers when unfair tools are not detected.

In addition to special features like crosshairs or magnifiers in gaming monitors, there are also hardware cheats that players have built themselves. MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann reported, for example, on an Overwatch player who combined a Lego motor with his mouse.

Be honest: Do you actually use level boosters?

Irina Moritz 17. May 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

Level boosts are often viewed negatively in the gaming community, but they have become an integral part of many MMORPGs. Do you usually use this mostly paid “level option”? Let us know.

These are level boosters: The constant growth of one’s character is actually indispensable in MMORPGs. Whether it occurs in the form of linear levels, through mastering skill trees, or various hybrid forms of both, leveling is simply part of the experience.

Nevertheless, many MMORPGs offer their players the option to skip this very process. Level boosters allow players to either completely skip the leveling phase or significantly increase the EXP gained.

This option is usually paid, and there are hardly any MMORPGs left that do not sell level boosts. Even MMORPGs like WoW or FFXIV, which generally require a subscription to play, offer their players the opportunity to quickly level up their characters.

Benefits of such level boosters include the ability to skip the often boring leveling process and jump straight into the action-packed endgame. This is particularly convenient for twinks, whom you would otherwise have to grind through the same quests and areas repeatedly.
A drawback is that developers may not put much effort into making that boring leveling process more interesting. Or they may even intentionally make it long and tedious so that players invest money in level boosts.

Accordingly, gamers have very mixed opinions about the concept of level boosts. Some believe that they have no place in an MMORPG and are pay-to-win. Others don’t care, while still others find level boosters very convenient and use them gladly.

And what about you?

This is how you can vote: You can cast your vote in our survey tool below. The vote counts once and cannot be undone.

And what is your opinion on level boosts? Is it a good service, a “necessary evil” or pure money-making on the part of the publishers? Have you ever used boosts yourself? In which games and under what circumstances was that? Tell us in the comments.

Have fun voting!

LoL coach insults opponent with obscene gesture – Riot responds with ban and fine

Alexander Leitsch 16. May 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

In League of Legends: Wild Rift the Wild Tour took place in Brazil at the beginning of May. There, the strongest teams from the region competed to qualify for the World Cup. However, during the tournament, an unpleasant incident occurred, which Riot Games responded to with a ban and fine.

What did the coach do exactly? OMEGHA ESPORTS head coach Peterson “Wonder” Castelanno reportedly made an obscene gesture towards the opposing team. Riot Games does not specify further in the official statement, but from comments on Twitter, it can be inferred that he may have shown the middle finger to the opposing team.

This unpleasant action took place during the finals of the Wild Tour on May 8th. Wonder’s team won this in a close duel 4:3 against Keyd Stars.

What is the penalty? From Riot Games’ perspective, paragraphs 14.1.2 and 14.1.3 of the tournament regulations were violated. These include the regulation of standards of conduct for players and teams.

He has to pay a fine of 5,000 BRL (approximately 950 Euros). However, the average income in Brazil is only about 480 Euros. He will have to pay roughly 2 average monthly salaries (approximately 8,000 Euros in Germany).
He is banned from participation for two match days – regardless of when these take place.

However, the suspension only applies to regional tournaments. He can participate as usual in the World Cup in June in Singapore, for which his team has qualified.

Wonder reacts provocatively on Twitter

How did the coach react to the suspension? On Twitter, the coach shared the tweet from Riot Games and only commented with “Oh my God” and later ironically “I have already been arrested”.

Additionally, he likes statements like “200,000 BRL earned to pay 5,000. I think that’s a good deal” or “One has to be a little emotional”.

On the pages of OMEGHA ESPORTS, however, there is no statement regarding the incident.

In 2021, a similar incident occurred in Brazil, where the Wild Rift team from TSM was penalized with similar sanctions for also showing the middle finger (via DotEsports). Back then, a final also ended narrowly with 4:3.

When do the world championships take place? Anyone wanting to follow the World Cup in Wild Rift can tune in starting June 14th. The group stage of the play-in tournament will take place then. At the end of June, there will be the regular group stage followed by a knockout phase with a big final on July 9th.

For those who want to start with Diablo Immortal, there are 6 different classes to choose from:

Barbarian – a muscle-bound warrior with an axe, who loves to stand in the midst of the fray.
Demon Hunter – a bitter avenger, armed with a crossbow who can defeat enemies from a distance.

Monk – a master of martial arts, relying on lightning-fast strikes and great mobility.
Necromancer – a necromancer who can resurrect enemies as skeletons.
Wizard – a powerful mage who taps into arcane power.

Each class in Diablo Immortal can be played as both male and female characters. Later, a class-switching feature is also planned to be implemented. However, at the beginning, you will only start with a fixed class.

But which class will that be? We want to know in our survey. As usual, you can select a class and then submit the survey. Changing your vote later is not possible.

Which class will you play? Or are you still undecided? Will you play a class that you preferred in earlier Diablo games, or will you start something completely new? Feel free to write us your choice and the reasons for it in the comments.

The new PS Plus gets free top titles for PS4 and PS5 – “Finally a reason to buy PS Plus again”

Benedikt Schlotmann 16. May 2022 Reading time 4 minutes

Sony has presented the lineup of the new PS Plus. Reactions to it are very mixed. However, many praise the strong lineup that is supposed to come to PS4 and PS5.

Who gets access to the games? Those who want to play the games for free on PS4 and PS5 must subscribe to either PS Plus Extra or PS Plus Premium. These cost either €13.99 or €16.99 for PS Plus Premium.

In the previous subscription, which is now called PlayStation Plus: Essential, the 3 monthly free games are included, but not the complete lineup.

Many top titles included in the new PS Plus for PS4 and PS5 – A few popular classics are missing

Which games are included? With Ghost Of Tsushima Director’s Cut, Bloodborne, or Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, some top titles are included in the new PS Plus.

Also included with PS Plus Extra is Ubisoft+ in the subscription. This gives you free access to a lot of Ubisoft titles when you play on PlayStation.

However, there is a downside: Games like Metal Gear Solid or the Persona series are not included in the new subscription model. While some users find this disappointing, many are convinced by the new lineup.

Will more games come? Allegedly, the games presented are not all there is. Sony itself writes in the official post:

Our new PlayStation Plus service will launch soon, and we are excited to give you a first look at some of the games that will be available during the launch period.

Some users therefore assume that the currently known list is just a taste of what could still come and that Sony will present more games. However, it could also very well be that certain games are only available at launch and later removed. For example, Sony had removed the RPG Persona 5 from the “PS Plus Collection” without replacement.

von Maik Schneider

The first reactions praise the new lineup of PS Plus

What are the reactions? In the “PS Plus” subreddit, many players are positively surprised by the announcement (via reddit.com).

“After 1.5 years of absence, it’s probably time to buy Plus again.”
“This is a good start. I really wanted to play Demon Souls and Ghost of Tsushima. Returnal, Spiderman, Death Stranding, Guardians of the Galaxy, Rdr2 – those are some nice titles. Let’s hope they continue to deliver good titles, otherwise it will be a problem for Sony regarding customer retention.”
“I must say, great content for the start! I definitely need to add an additional SSD now to have more space for these games.”

In the lineup, some also see the problem of the offer. Because if you’ve been a long-time fan of PlayStation and have already played several games, you probably have already played many of the games listed here. Long-time fans may be less convinced, but rather people who are not yet so deep into the PlayStation universe:

The downside is, for a Sony fan from the beginning like me, that I already own all the first-party games listed here.

MMORPG on Steam lures with BDSM and vampires – But everything in the latest trailer is really strange

Shadow’s Kiss is a new MMORPG for PC that is set to be released on Steam in 2022. The game has made headlines particularly for its focus on content for ages 18 and over, including vampires, blood, and BDSM. However, the latest trailer has caused much irritation.

What is the problem with the trailer? The new trailer is supposed to show gameplay from the alpha and was created especially for the upcoming beta on Steam. However, it has not been received well by fans and has caused much skepticism:

You can watch the trailer here:

Start video

Trailer zum MMORPG Shadow’s Kiss

Autoplay

The video was recorded in 4:3 format – allegedly because Steam requires this for mobile devices
The graphics look like they are from a game from the early 2000s
There are numerous graphic glitches
The interface has a mobile look and is way too big for many
The FPS in the video is very low
Overall, much about the trailer seems to be intentionally trying to deter players. The game has been in development for 6 years already.

When is the game supposed to be released? The developers announced on May 12 that they received the green light for the first phase on Steam. This means that the first beta tests can take place soon.

Officially, Shadow’s Kiss is supposed to start early access on Steam in 2022. However, many doubt that the MMORPG can really succeed after this trailer.

If you are interested in a beta, you should send an email to [email protected] with the subject [Beta Tester].

MMORPG raised $80,000 on Kickstarter, lures with a world for adults

What kind of game is this anyway? According to its own statement, Shadow’s Kiss focuses on adult players. This is mainly due to the representation of violence and sex in the vampire MMO.

The game does not use classes and allows you to independently level up skills like sword fighting or necromancy.
There is no Holy Trinity.
The combat system works turn-based, similar to the recent hidden gem Broken Ranks.
There will be quests, dungeons, and solo content for PvE fans.
There will be housing and PvP, though there is still a lack of concrete information.
You should have the ability to control humans and delegate tasks to them.
There will be playable sex scenes where you can try BDSM, both as a dominant and submissive partner.

This concept initially convinced many players, as over $80,000 were already raised for the implementation on Kickstarter (via Kickstarter). Originally, the game only needed $25,000. However, after the latest trailer, many are skeptical whether Shadow’s Kiss can actually build a community.

What do you think of the MMORPG for adults? Is this game something for you, or do you find Shadow’s Kiss’s approach rather unappealing? Feel free to let us know in the comments here at MeinMMO.

Destiny 2 introduces a PvP event in Season 17, but cheaters will ruin the fun for everyone

Britta ♤ BeAngel 16. May 2022 Reading time 4 minutes

In the PvP of Destiny 2, there’s currently a worm in the works. Crucible players logging in to Lord Shaxx daily are annoyed and report that they are increasingly encountering opponents in PvP matches where things cannot be as they seem. The reason is cheat programs and hardware that are easily accessible and apparently not detected by Bungie.

In the last TWaB (“This Week at Bungie” blog), Destiny 2 announced to revamp the outdated Iron Banner and turn it into an event. But what sounds interesting also unfortunately has a bitter aftertaste for me. Because in Destiny 2, there are obviously more and more players using unrecognizable “cheats” to dominate in the Crucible.

What cheats are involved? Currently, it is mainly hardware cheats that are increasingly used by cheaters in the Crucible and apparently can sneak past Bungie and BattlEye, the Destiny 2 anti-cheat system. However, we will not elaborate further on which ones specifically.

The device mimics original accessories, so you can’t tell whether a controller or mouse and keyboard are connected. The hardware is quickly installed, and players can then use either mouse and keyboard on the console or a controller on different consoles.

This useful hardware is being exploited: What is supposed to be a convenient tool has now become a nasty cheat problem in Destiny 2. Because apparently, Bungie cannot reliably recognize this manipulation as such.

My last rounds in the Crucible also included really bizarre experiences. In almost every match, you encounter players who keep distributing headshots in the kill feed. Even if you are really good at PvP, that is not possible.

However, if such hardware is used, it could provide players with remarkably effective aim assist. This allows for multiple consecutive headshots with ease across the entire map.

Quickly executed actions also keep knocking you down in matches. There is hardly time to react in a duel, as your own reaction time cannot keep up.

The options integrated into the tool via scripts and macros are therefore advantages that will make the Crucible increasingly unfair if nothing is done about it. Or does that sound fair to you?

Anti-recoil settings ensure that a weapon no longer deviates.
Aim assist that still works over longer distances. This allows these players to effortlessly track a moving opponent in Destiny 2, no matter if they are moving slowly, quickly, or jumping.
Fully automatic shooting mode, which ensures that weapons not only shoot faster but also have greater impact compared to manual aiming.
And even melee attacks are optimized, allowing for a quick melee followed by a quick shot, for example, from a shotgun.

These hardware cheats have been on the market for several years and are marketed in other AAA games, but they are now being actively advertised. Additionally, the devices have gained enormous popularity through word of mouth in the community.

I’ve looked at how large this user community is in recent weeks. Users of the hardware exchange settings and options through forums, YouTube, and a Discord server. Comments about how funny it is to easily send other players to their deaths can also be found there.

Of course, this also allows players to easily achieve every triumph, an outrageous K/D, and the top of the leaderboard in Destiny 2, even in the PvP endgame.

Why are these players not banned? Officially, the use of such hardware violates Bungie’s terms of service. Manufacturers of such hardware always explicitly point this out.

However, this does not stop players from getting the device, as the risk of a ban is simply too low. The codes, scripts, and macros only run on the device, and the console recognizes this as “normal” input. Additionally, there is no interference with the game’s code, so it cannot be detected by anti-cheat systems like BattlEye, which are supposed to uncover such aimbots, wallhacks, and other atrocities.

Cheating in Destiny 2 is running out of time – This is the new cheat protection

von Jürgen Horn

Furthermore, the tool is also quite cheap. At 100 to 150 euros, you can get one.

If the developer doesn’t change anything here, it could ruin players’ enjoyment of the new PvP Iron Banner event and other PvP activities.

Have you experienced bizarre things happening in the Crucible that you cannot explain? Or players who never die and keep distributing headshots from the hip? Do you perhaps even use such a tool yourself or know someone who does? Feel free to share your experiences with us in the comments.

Broken weapon in Fortnite lets you win almost every fight – Even professionals stand no chance

Christos Tsogos 16. May 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

In Fortnite, players have been terrorized by a weapon for months. It requires no training to wield. Even professionals are ripped to shreds. This is the Drum Shotgun. What makes it so powerful and why it should best go back into the vault, you can find out here.

What kind of weapon is this? This is the Drum Shotgun resurrected from the dead. This pump had been locked away in the vault for several seasons and could not be used by players. When Season 2 in Chapter 3 started, a revamped version of the shotgun appeared on the battlefield.

As the extinct legend could finally be used again, a large part of the community rejoiced at the return. However, it quickly became clear that the shotgun didn’t go into the vault for no reason.

Fortnite professionals like Ninja don’t even stand a chance to evade the Drum Shotgun with their skill and therefore die a miserable death.

Even professionals despair and have no chance

What makes the shotgun so devastating? The shotgun can score at ranges that are unusual for a pump, and the damage is exaggerated.

The fire rate gives no opponent time to defend themselves as your 12 shots are fired without delay. Even submachine guns stand no chance against this shotgun.

Streamer Ninja, who has found his way back to Fortnite, is so frustrated with the shotgun that he freaks out. Here you can see a clip of his emotional outburst:

Ninja mentions that he hates the shotgun so much. It requires no skill, and therefore he demands that it should be removed from the game immediately. He also adds that he enjoys neither dying by the weapon nor using it. The weapon is only used to allow players to secure a win safely.

Will Epic Games remove the gun? So far, Epic has not mentioned anything about the new weapon rotation in Season 3. However, since Fortnite offers different weapons in each new season to keep the meta fresh, it is likely that the shotgun might go back into the vault in Season 3.

But it could also be that the gun will still be present in Season 3. In the Update 20.30, Epic left some buffs on shotguns, including the Drum Pump, from which players benefited. It remains to be seen what the development team will decide.

How can one still defend themselves? To counter the shotgun, you should keep your distance from your opponent. If you find yourself in close combat, try to create distance and use an assault rifle or a SMG to damage your opponent.

However, try not to approach these players aggressively, as they will exploit your arrogance and shred you to pieces in seconds. If the distance you gained doesn’t help, try to run away. Sometimes fleeing is the best option to come back later for revenge.

What do you think of the Drum Shotgun? Do you also find it too OP, or have you become so attached to it that you can’t remove it from your inventory? Let us know in the comments!

Pokémon GO: Trainers desperately search for 2 ancient monsters – ‘As if they didn’t exist’

Max Handwerk 16. May 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

In Pokémon GO there are rare monsters that are cursedly hard to find. Two fossil monsters belong to this group – and the community is wondering: Where are they hiding?

Which Pokémon are we talking about? In the Pokémon GO subreddit “TheSilphRoad”, a trainer is currently looking for the Pokémon Galapaflos. This turtle monster belongs to the so-called “fossil Pokémon” and is in Pokémon lore one of the oldest Pokémon ever.

In Pokémon GO, Galapaflos and its evolution Karippas have been available since early 2020, but the turtle initially only appeared in eggs. It has since disappeared from the egg pool and instead roams the wilderness – but only very rarely.

A trainer writes in the subreddit: “Has anyone seen a Galapaflos during the Alola season?” (via reddit) He hasn’t found any – just like several trainers in the comments. However, he has seen 4 Flapteryx, he reports in his post. And that calls other trainers into action:

“I’m just amazed that you’ve seen four Flapteryx. I want your luck,” writes one (via reddit).
“I had 3 in a year. This little guy is insanely rare,” writes another (via reddit).
“I haven’t seen a single [Galapaflos]. The same goes for Flapteryx. It’s as if they don’t exist” (via reddit).

You see many such comments, as Flapteryx is the counterpart to Galapaflos. The little prehistoric bird and its evolution Aeropteryx joined the game at the same time as the turtle, but under the same conditions: first in eggs, then rarely in the wild.

The question is: Where are the two?

Where are Flapteryx and Galapaflos in Pokémon GO?

Where can you find the monsters? Both monsters are explicitly listed in the spawn list of the current Alola season, but there is no boosted spawn rate for them. They are currently available in the wild, but not everywhere.

Flapteryx can currently be found in the mountains. It appears more frequently in partly cloudy or windy weather.
Galapaflos can be found along beaches and bodies of water. It appears more frequently in rain or partly cloudy weather.

There is virtually no guarantee of encountering either of them. Encountering a Flapteryx was part of the “Pioneer-40 Special Research” – but those were only available to players who reached level 40 before the end of 2020.

In the subreddit, trainers report that one really needs luck. Many haven’t seen either of the two, while others report that they have at least one or two specimens. Only in rare cases have some trainers collected more.

Recently, for the ongoing Water Festival, some trainers apparently hoped for more Galapaflos spawns. So far, that hasn’t been the case.

Have you already caught the two monsters in your collection? If so: Where and when did you catch them? Let us know in the comments!

Streamer cracks a dumb joke in his friend’s Twitch chat, gets banned for sexual harassment

Alexander Leitsch 16. May 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

The streamer Benjamin “DrLupo” Lupo switched from Twitch to YouTube in 2021, but is still active on Amazon’s platform. Over the weekend, he wrote a sentence in the chat of the well-known streamer Ninja, which led Twitch to temporarily ban him.

What exactly was the streamer banned for? On May 15, the streamer DrLupo announced via Twitter that he was banned on Twitch. The reason was an “unsolicited sexual advance.” The ban was supposed to last for 7 days.

DrLupo provided the explanation for the ban himself. He had written in Tyler “Ninja” Blevins’ chat the phrase “Sit on my face.” This statement is often associated with a sexual act.

However, the remark was meant to be understood as a joke among streamers in this context.

Ninja’s wife, Jessice Blevins, responded to the ban by also writing “Sit on my face” in the chat and then asking on Twitter if she could say that as his wife (via Twitter).

Link to the Twitter content

Why is the ban a problem? Although the ban lasted only a few hours and DrLupo is no longer actively streaming on Twitch, the ban sparked some discussions:

On one hand, there are complaints about how quickly people are banned for chat messages, while some streamers get away with offenses in livestreams.
On the other hand, the bans do not recognize context or irony. This is especially problematic when these happen automatically.

Twitch’s ban policy continues to spark discussions

What is the problem with the bans? Twitch has a very peculiar line when it comes to bans. Pornographic material and sexual harassment are actively pursued, yet they often go overboard:

The Twitch streamer Forsen accidentally showed a picture of a young woman and a horse, which was pushed onto him by viewers. For this, he received a permanent ban immediately.
Also, the then 16-year-old Clix was initially permanently banned for showing a wrong picture in the stream.

Both bans have since been lifted, but a sour aftertaste remains. Because these bans often seem arbitrary, especially when considering that there are streamers on Twitch who deliberately push the boundaries of Twitch.

For example, a streamer was banned for only 3 days, even though she performed a sex show and showed her genitals. While this may also have been an accident, it seems significantly more severe compared to what Forsen, Clix, and DrLupo did – and did not warrant a permanent ban.

Back in 2021, MeinMMO editor Schuhmann took a closer look at Twitch’s ban policy and wrote an opinion that is still relevant today:

Twitch’s ban policy is becoming more ridiculous

Free Banana Shooter trending on Steam: “Looks so stupid, but honestly has potential”

Marko Jevtic 16. May 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

Banana Shooter is a quirky F2P shooter that is currently gaining some fans on Steam. The name says it all: in addition to a shotgun and an AK-47, you also shoot bananas at other players. But it’s not just the absurd humor that has fans, but mainly the ultra-fast gameplay.

If you currently take a look at the shooter trends on Steam, you will be surprised. A game titled Banana Shooter appears near the top, with 87% positive reviews (via Steam).

With very simple graphics and a cheap-looking presentation, this enthusiasm may come as a surprise. However, Banana Shooter, which has only been on Steam for 2 weeks, can not only score with its charmingly absurd humor.

The shooter plays fantastically due to its fast pace and roguelite elements and wonderfully reminds of the browser hidden gem Krunker.

Here you can see the trailer for Banana Shooter:

Start video

Trailer zu Banana Shooter

Autoplay

F2P shooter on Steam mixes fast-paced deathmatch with roguelite upgrades

What is the game about? The official description of the game is just as absurd as it is simple:

In this game, you are not a banana, but Dave, because you like to eat bananas. The banana is therefore gone, and the only way to get it back is to kill other Daves. If you have killed the most people, you get bananas.
The official game description of Banana Shooter on Steam

At its core, Banana Shooter is a deathmatch shooter on several open and sporadically equipped maps. In particular, two aspects make the shooter so much fun:

The game speed and movement of the characters are incredibly high, which is also emphasized by a grappling hook, creating visual effects like motion blur on the weapons.
It has a hint of roguelite in the gameplay loop: with each kill, you earn coins that you can spend on weapon upgrades or faster movement. However, when you die, you lose everything.

With shotguns, an AK-47, or a banana knife (yes, really), you hunt your friends or random opponents. While you shoot, you dash across the maps at top speed with rapid bunny hops and other movement tricks.

“Surprisingly fun to play”

What do the players think? Players are generally reacting positively. In the currently 539 reviews on Steam, most shooter fans express pleasant surprise at the quality of the absurd shooter:

“As dumb as it may sound, I actually think it has potential.” – vertiKarl
“It was only 8 minutes, but it was the best 8 minutes of my life.” – fudgesickle24
“Surprisingly fun to play.” – Yibbles

Anyone who enjoys Krunker or similarly fast shooters, or is simply looking for something new, should give Banana Shooter a chance. The game is completely free on Steam.

Hopefully, you won’t encounter the most annoying people you can have in shooters on your team:

New MMORPG on Steam focuses on medieval times and many freedoms – Shows gameplay from the alpha

Alexander Leitsch 16. May 2022 Reading time 4 minutes

Past Fate has been in development for several years and will be a medieval MMORPG with many freedoms and options. You can expect dungeons, raids, and battles for territories when playing on the PvP server. Now, Past Fate is showcasing new gameplay from the alpha for the first time in 11 months.

What kind of game is this? In Past Fate, exploration and fighting together against enemies are to be in the foreground. The MMORPG focuses on an active combat system where you must aim and actively evade attacks. The previously shown battles vaguely resemble New World.

You create your character from one of five different classes – Warrior, Necromancer, Mage, Pirate, Priest – and explore the game world.

This world is to be divided into many islands that you can reach by ship. You are also supposed to build these ships yourself and discover treasures at sea, as well as experience battles. To not do this alone, you can assemble a crew of NPCs, including archers, gunners, or melee fighters.

Your experience in Past Fate will also differ significantly depending on whether you are on PvE or PvP servers.

You can check out the latest gameplay from the alpha here:

Start video

Trailer for the new medieval MMORPG Past Fate

Autoplay

Fights for territories and arenas in PvP, dungeons and raids like in WoW

What does PvP look like in Past Fate? For those playing on PvP servers, there’s a struggle for territories in the open world:

When you enter the territory of an enemy faction, you will automatically be marked as a PvP player (“flagged”). In the territories of your own faction, you cannot be attacked, but you can attack enemies if you want. However, then you will be flagged.
It is possible to conquer certain “contested zones” and thereby expand your territory.

On PvE servers, however, open-world PvP only exists in the contested zones. In your own areas and also in the territories of the enemy faction, you are safe. It is unclear whether you have to actively mark yourself for PvP in the contested territories or if you can be attacked automatically.

However, on both servers, there will be special battlegrounds and PvP arenas for 1v1 and 3v3, for which you can queue. There’s something for PvP fans, after all.

What does Past Fate offer for PvE fans? In PvE, the focus is primarily on instances:

Dungeons can be entered with a party of up to 5 players. From level 10, there should be a new dungeon every 5 to 10 levels, which will become increasingly difficult. As a reward, there is a chance for epic gear.
In the endgame, raids for 25 players will await. The hardest raids are expected to be achievable only for good guilds and well-coordinated teams. Here, epic rewards are guaranteed with every run.

Those wandering through the open world will encounter boss enemies. Some of them are supposed to be soloable, while others require party members. The loot depends on how much damage you inflict, and the bosses appear after random timers.

Germans love the idea of MMORPGs, but the release still seems far off

How has the game been received so far? In summer 2020, Past Fate was already playable, albeit in a very raw version. Back then, we reported that it was particularly popular among German players. About 60% of users in Discord claimed to be from Germany.

Since then, a lot has happened. The developers launched a Kickstarter campaign, raising nearly 23,000 euros (via Kickstarter).

In the trailer, it can also be seen that the combat system and the overall graphics have been worked on since the test two years ago.

However, Past Fate is still in alpha, with tests taking place only irregularly. You can participate in these if you purchase a supporter package. The cheapest one is available for 20 dollars – about 18 euros (via Past Fate). The game will be played on the Steam platform.

When is the game coming out? There is currently no release date. It is also unclear whether the MMORPG will be Buy2Play or Free2Play. There will be a shop, but it will only offer cosmetic content.

What do you think of Past Fate? Does this MMORPG appeal to you or does it all sound too ambitious for an indie game? Feel free to write it in the comments.

If you are hoping for new MMORPGs in 2022, you can find all official announcements so far here:

On May 16, you might be able to buy a PS5 at PlayStation Direct with a little luck

Maximilian 16. May 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

You really want to finally buy a PS5? Today you might have the opportunity at Sony’s own store PlayStation Direct. MeinMMO presents all the important information for that.

Update, May 16, 10:30 AM: The factory sale at PlayStation Direct will start in a few moments. And apparently, there is a change in the usual procedure today. According to the updated FAQ on the homepage, it is now also possible to pay via PayPal for the first time. If there is to be a public sale afterwards, you will of course be informed immediately here as always.

The last months have been marked by many dry phases regarding PS5 drops and sales. Only Sony’s own store PlayStation Direct has proven to be a reliable retailer. By now, there is almost weekly the opportunity to buy a PS5 there.

As is typical for Sony, personalized email invitations were sent out again yesterday afternoon to selected PSN users. Through this link, you can access Sony’s shop and purchase a PS5 and the corresponding accessories. So make sure to check your spam folder to see if you’re one of the lucky ones.

In the past, there was often a public sale after the exclusive sale. Whether this will be the case today is unfortunately still unclear at this point.

The most important information about the sale at PlayStation Direct

Who can buy a PS5 today and where? On the official homepage of PlayStation Direct, if you received an email invitation yesterday, you can buy a PS5 today.

When is the sale starting? As is usually the case for factory sales from Sony, the sales action will also start today around 10:30 AM. Since, unfortunately, the quantities at this retailer have always been quite limited and usually sold out within 15-20 minutes, it is really worth being on time.

How can you pay? According to Sony’s official FAQ, there are currently only two payment methods (via direct.playstation.com). At this point in time, you can unfortunately only pay with Visa or Mastercard at PlayStation Direct in Germany. There are still no other options available. Invoice, direct debit, transfer, or Paypal are therefore not accepted.

YouTuber invests 2.6 million € in cryptocurrency LUNA, after 2 days it’s 960 € – He laughs, others don’t

Schuhmann 15. May 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

Olajide “KSI” Olatunji (28) is a British rapper, who is also known as an amateur boxer and gaming YouTuber for the FIFA series. Recently, he has been active in the “cryptocurrency” sector. In an attempt to profit from the crash of the currency “LUNA”, the 28-year-old gambled and suffered a huge loss.

Who is KSI?

KSI started on YouTube in 2008, when he was still a teenager. He uploaded videos about FIFA games from his bedroom at his parents’ house. When he made enough money from the videos to live on, reportedly more than his teachers, he dropped out of school.
Subsequently, the YouTuber began a career as a rapper and was involved in a variety of commercial projects: in 2020, he was estimated to be earning about 15 million Euros a year.
KSI became perhaps best known for popularizing the trend of “celebrity boxing” on YouTube. In 2017, he had a Twitter feud with another YouTuber, which eventually led to a boxing match in 2018. The fight sparked a hype that eventually led to further boxing matches with even bigger YouTubers. This trend also arrived in Germany in 2022.

YouTuber aims to profit from LUNA’s loss

Here was his investment: The YouTuber KSI has been in a crypto fever for a while. In recent days he first bet on a decline in the price of Bitcoin. At the same time, he noted that the cryptocurrency “LUNA” was undergoing a massive crash.

On May 10, he then posted:

“Call me crazy, but I just bought a hell of a lot of LUNA.”

Apparently, KSI saw an opportunity to profit from the significant loss of the coin “LUNA”. In the days before, the price of LUNA fell from about 80 € (May 5) to about 30 € (May 10).

As he later stated, KSI had purchased LUNA currency worth $2.8 million.

luna-kurs — This is the price of LUNA. The blue arrow indicates when KSI roughly bought.

“Bought the dip and lost”

Here’s how it went on: KSI hoped that the price of LUNA would recover. But the opposite was the case. Within a few days, the price of LUNA fell off a cliff: from 28 € it dropped to 0.00001 € in just a few days.

By May 12, KSI posted that his investment of $2.8 million was now worth only $1,000.

Crisis of trust in “stablecoin” triggers death spiral

Where did this crash come from? The crash of LUNA is referred to as a “death spiral”.

The price drop appears to be linked to the loss of investor confidence in the “stablecoin” TerraUSD.

A “stablecoin” is a cryptocurrency that is pegged to the value of a real currency: in this case, the US Dollar. The idea behind the stablecoin was that it wouldn’t fluctuate as much as other cryptocurrencies, but rather be a “safe haven”. However, it was doubted early on that the concept would work.

When the peg of TerraUSD to the Dollar actually broke and could not be balanced, both currencies entered into what seemed to be an unstoppable downward fall. With the confidence of investors in the stability of the currency dwindling, its value also sank to near zero (via businessinsider).

Samurott with Waterfall and Hydro Cannon
Gyarados with Waterfall and Hydro Pump
Primarina with Waterfall and Hydro Pump
Empoleon with Waterfall and Hydro Cannon
Clawitzer with Water Gun and Crabhammer
Vaporeon with Water Gun and Hydro Pump

How did the ranking come about? In our ranking of the best Water attackers, we only considered Pokémon that you can get in the game. They can be obtained through raids, in the wild, or by evolving. For placement, we focused on their respective stats and movesets.

A separate overview of the best Crypto Water attackers and the best Mega Water Pokémon can be found at the end of the article.

1. Kyogre

Best moveset: Waterfall and Surf

Kyogre is a legendary Water Pokémon from the third generation. It shines mainly with high stats in attack and defense. Moreover, it holds out a long time in battle.

With a moveset of Waterfall and Surf, it also deals significant damage to opponents. Thus, it is the best Water attacker in the game.

Can you catch Shiny Kyogre? Yes, Kyogre is also available as a Shiny in the game. You can recognize it by its purple body.

2. Kingler

Best moveset: Bubble and Crabhammer

The second strongest Water attacker in our ranking is Kingler. This Pokémon is the evolution of Krabby and comes from the first generation.

Even though it does not remotely match Kyogre in terms of attack value, it can score with it. However, it lacks in stamina and defense, which is why it doesn’t hold out as long in battle.

With its moveset of Bubble and Crabhammer, it not only deals significant damage to opponents but can also use its charged attack relatively quickly. Kingler thus does the most damage per second of all Water attackers on this list and has the best moveset.

Can you catch Shiny Kingler? Shiny Kingler is already available in Pokémon GO. You can recognize it by its green body. However, you must first catch a Shiny Krabby to be able to evolve it.

3. Swampert

Best moveset: Water Gun and Hydro Cannon

Swampert, the final evolution of Mudkip, also comes from the third generation. This Water and Ground-type Pokémon can score especially with solid stamina. Its attack and defense are decent.

With Water Gun, it has a relatively quick fast attack. Its charged attack Hydro Cannon is quick to charge and deals significant damage to opponents.

Is there Shiny Swampert? Yes, to get Shiny Swampert, you must first catch a Shiny Mudkip. You can find it mainly in the wild during rain, but occasionally also in field research tasks. You can recognize the shiny Swampert by its purple body.

4. Feraligatr

Best moveset: Water Gun and Hydro Cannon

Feraligatr is the final evolution of Croconaw. This Water Pokémon has only average values in attack, stamina, and defense compared to some other candidates on this list.

With its moveset of Water Gun and Hydro Cannon, it is fast and deals considerable damage to opponents. However, Water Gun is no longer a learnable attack for this Pokémon. Instead, it can use Waterfall, which deals slightly more damage but takes a bit longer.

Is there a Shiny Feraligatr? Yes, if you catch a Shiny Croconaw, you can evolve it into a shiny Feraligatr. You can recognize it by its green body and blue crest.

5. Samurott

Best moveset: Waterfall and Hydro Cannon

Another strong Water attacker is Samurott, the final evolution of Oshawott. This Water Pokémon from the fifth generation can score particularly with strong stamina. Its attack is also solid. With its moveset of Waterfall and Hydro Cannon, it deals substantial damage to opponents.

Can you catch Shiny Samurott? You can catch Shiny Oshawott and evolve it into Samurott. You can mainly find the small otter in the wild during the rain. You can recognize the shiny Samurott by its dark blue body.

6. Gyarados

Best moveset: Waterfall and Hydro Pump

The Water and Flying Pokémon Gyarados from the first generation is the evolution of Magikarp. Gyarados has the third strongest attack value of all the monsters in our ranking and is only slightly weaker than Kingler. It also scores well with its stamina.

With its moveset of Waterfall and Hydro Pump, it deals significant damage to opponents but takes a relatively long time to execute its charged attack.

Can you catch Shiny Gyarados? Yes, with a bit of luck, you will encounter a shiny Gyarados after a won Mega Raid or occasionally in the wild. Alternatively, you can also catch a Shiny Magikarp and evolve it. You can recognize the shiny Gyarados by its red body.

7. Primarina

Best moveset: Waterfall and Hydro Pump

A monster that has only been available since the start of the Alola season in Pokémon GO is Primarina. This Water and Fairy Pokémon is the final evolution of Popplio.

Primarina can particularly shine with a high attack value, and its stamina and defense are also impressive. In battle, you should use Waterfall and Hydro Pump. It does considerable damage, but it takes significantly longer to charge its charged attack compared to Hydro Cannon.

Is there Shiny Primarina? No, the shiny form of Popplio and thus also Primarina is not yet available in the game.

8. Empoleon

Best moveset: Waterfall and Hydro Cannon

Empoleon is the final evolution of the Water Pokémon Piplup. It comes from the fourth generation and is of Water and Steel types. The stats of Empoleon are all solid.

It can score well with its moveset of Waterfall and Hydro Cannon. This attack combination deals significant damage to the opponent and is also relatively quick.

Is there Shiny Empoleon? To get Shiny Empoleon, you first need to catch a Shiny Piplup and evolve it. The shiny Empoleon has a bluish body.

9. Clawitzer

Best moveset: Water Gun and Crabhammer

Clawitzer, the Water Pokémon, is the evolution of Scrappy. This Pokémon from the sixth generation has a moveset of Water Gun and Crabhammer, which is quite fast and deals significant damage to opponents.

Its stats are slightly lower than those of Primarina, but still solid. However, due to slightly lower stamina and defense, it won’t last as long in battle.

Can you catch Shiny Clawitzer? No, the shiny forms of Scrappy and Clawitzer are not yet available in Pokémon GO.

10. Vaporeon

Best moveset: Water Gun and Hydro Pump

The last in our ranking of the best Water-type attackers is Vaporeon. The evolution of Eevee has the lowest attack value of all the candidates on this list. However, it can score significantly with its stamina.

With Water Gun and Hydro Pump, it has a relatively fast fast attack, but it deals relatively little damage with it. Hydro Pump, on the other hand, takes a long time to charge but does deal significant damage.

Can you catch Shiny Vaporeon? To secure a Shiny Vaporeon, you first need to catch a Shiny Eevee and then evolve it. The shiny Vaporeon has a purple body.

Since Eevee has a total of 8 different evolutions, you can use one trick or another to carry out a targeted evolution. We show you all the tricks in the following article:

Best Crypto Water Attackers

Crypto-Feraligatr with Water Gun and Hydro Cannon
Crypto-Swampert with Water Gun and Hydro Cannon
Crypto-Gyarados with Waterfall and Hydro Pump
Crypto-Blastoise with Water Gun and Hydro Cannon

Why Crypto Pokémon are worth it: Unlike other monsters in Pokémon GO, Crypto Pokémon receive a special attack bonus. This adds 20% more damage to your opponent in battle. In return, these monsters are somewhat weaker in defense and won’t last as long in battle. However, they are definitely worth using in raids.

Best Mega Water Attackers

Mega-Blastoise with Water Gun and Hydro Cannon
Mega-Gyarados with Waterfall and Hydro Pump
Mega-Lapras with Water Gun and Water Wave

Why Mega Evolutions are worth it: Mega Evolutions are a temporary evolution of selected Pokémon. These are a bit stronger.

If you use Mega Pokémon in your raid battles, the attacks of the monster itself, as well as all other monsters of the same type, receive an attack bonus. For this reason, you should rely on the Mega Evolutions of Blastoise, Gyarados, or Lapras so that your Water attacks can be boosted.

New MMORPG Camelot Unchained opens servers in Germany – But God, the mood is terrible

Schuhmann 15. May 2022 Reading time 2 minutes

The MMORPG Camelot Unchained (PC) is supposed to be the spiritual successor to the popular PvP MMORPG Dark Age of Camelot. This month there is good news: A dedicated test server has been opened in Germany. Esclabor is supposed to make the game much more enjoyable for Europeans. But 10 years after the announcement and countless delays, the mood among potential players is at an all-time low.

This is the new server: The head of the game, Marc Jacobs, stated in a newsletter on May 6 that after a long time, they are now ready to conduct a weekend test on a server in Germany (via camelotunchained).

This is a big deal for Camelot Unchained because you can’t just transfer the code to another server.

German server significantly reduces latency for Europeans

The test has now been completed and yielded good results (via mailchi). They rave about “great results” – players have instead of a latency of over 100 milliseconds now a latency in the tens.

The test is also not just a one-time thing, but a full-fledged server that will also participate in future weekend tests.

MMORPG Camelot Unchained has been in development for 9 years – atmosphere is openly hostile

von Schuhmann

Former fans extremely upset for 2 years

What is the reaction? The mood surrounding the MMORPG Camelot Unchained has been at an all-time low for about 2 years. Back then, the team decided to develop a second game alongside the MMORPG:

The developers said the new game, “Ragnarök: The Final Stand” would help and progress the MMORPG significantly.
The fans didn’t want to hear any of it; they wanted the developers to focus entirely on Camelot Unchained because that’s what they paid for.

Because Camelot Unchained had already been postponed extremely often, many lost faith in the MMORPG and demanded a refund of their contributions, which they had put into the game via crowdfunding.

At the announcement, hopes for the MMORPG were still high:

On the US website Massivelyoverpowered, where for years they reported positively about the game, and where developer Marc Jacobs regularly visited, the tone in the comments has become cynical and hostile:

They mock that even 10 years after the announcement, only “art” is visible in the newsletter and no gameplay.
It is said that bringing a European server for a game that has 2 testers worldwide is ridiculous.
Another quips: At the moment, it’s even an exaggeration to talk about Camelot Unchained as a game.

Camelot Unchained is apparently in a state where even clearly positive news signaling progress echoes in the anger of the players.

The reddit about the game is virtually dead: The official news hardly gets any upvotes or comments.

The most upvotes have an article discussing whether a warning should be posted on reddit that the game will probably never be released.

5 rare ships from Destiny 2 that only true fans own – Do they belong in your collection?

Christos Tsogos 15. May 2022 Reading time 5 minutes

In Destiny 2, you have the chance to earn countless ships. However, since many of them are copies from the real-money shop, Guardians appreciate spaceships that can be earned through play. These, however, are so elaborate to obtain that not everyone owns one. Therefore, we present to you 5 rare ships that only a few players have in their collection.

What kind of ships are these? In Destiny 2, Guardians can own and claim many ships. However, there is a distinction between those that can be purchased and those that can be earned, as the Eververse has a larger collection of vehicles. Nevertheless, some exceptional flyers can be earned in the world of the loot shooter, but this comes with a significant effort.

We present to you 5 of the rarest ships that you can own in Destiny 2. They are no longer earnable but once required special criteria to be met. Therefore, these belong to the rarest collectibles.

5 Rare Ships That You Could Acquire

These ships can no longer be acquired as of May 13, 2022. Whether Bungie will decide to throw them back into the game again is unclear, but certainly possible. Bungie has often reintroduced old items in the past.

5. One Thousand Wings

When was the ship available? The ship was released in Season 3 and disappeared after the Season of Arrival when the fleet of Darkness cut off the Guardians from Io.

How could one acquire the ship? The ship was tied to a secret mission “The Whisper” on Io. You had to complete the mission heroically and collect “Essences” from secret chests.

If you did this at five chests, you had the chance to activate a Vex portal in the mission, destroy Oracles in the correct order, and then loot one final chest.

After you had obtained the plan, you still had to go through three runs with different elemental modifications that rotated weekly. If you completed this, the ship belonged to you.

Why is the ship so rare? Not everyone knew about the secret mission on Io. Players had to activate a hidden portal to participate in the mission. Coupled with the frequent runs and puzzles, not everyone could obtain the ship.

4. Iron Pendragon

When was the ship available? The ship entered in Season 2. It is unclear when exactly the ship disappeared, but in Year 2, the ship was no longer available through Lord Saladin.

How could one acquire the ship? You received this ship by ranking up in the Iron Banner and opening Engrams. However, the drop was not guaranteed, so you had to redeem many Iron Banner tokens to get the chance to obtain the ship.

Why is the ship so rare? The ship is rare because not many players had played the loot shooter at that time. Additionally, it is the first Iron Banner ship in Destiny 2.

3. The Platinum Star

When was the ship available? The ship was released with the launch of the Black Armory in Season 5 and vanished with the release of the major DLC “Beyond Light”.

How could one acquire the ship? To get the ship, you needed to forge 100 legendary “Black Armory” shapes.

However, this was a huge effort as these special shapes could only be purchased through module reports at Ada-1, completed in the open world, and then used in the forge.

Why is the ship so rare? The effort to obtain this ship was enormous, which is why many players ignored and did not complete the triumph.

2. Scrap Metal CF-717-91

When was the ship available? The ship was available in Season 6 and could only be earned through a puzzle in the Exo mission “Zero Hour”. After the farm on the EDZ disappeared, the ship could no longer be earned.

How could one acquire the ship? The ship was once tied to the Exo mission “Zero Hour”. For this, you had to play through the mission heroically and obtain the catalyst for the exotic pulse rifle “Perfected Outbreak”.

Then you had to return to the mission to complete a key card and an additional puzzle with the element of the week each week. If you did this three times, the ship belonged to you.

Why is the ship so rare? The mission was already quite challenging on Heroic. Additionally, Bungie made your passage more difficult, as a tight timer forced you not to waste time. Coupled with the tricky puzzles and huge parkour obstacles, it was quite intimidating.

1. Chosen by the Emperor

When was the ship available? The ship was available in Season 7 when the Menagerie opened on Leviathan. However, when the Black Fleet appeared on the radar, Calus also took initiative and disappeared with his Leviathan.

How could one acquire the ship? You could only obtain the ship by completing the heroic Menagerie and opening the loot chest at the end. However, the flyer was not a guaranteed drop, so you had to run the hard mode multiple times.

Why is the ship so rare? The heroic Menagerie did not have a player search. Either you had to have a capable fireteam to survive, or you had to pick random players. After that, it was only important to survive and kill the boss. However, these were often so tough that many players failed and gave up.

These were our 5 rarest flyers in Destiny 2 that you could earn. Do you own them all, or are you missing one? Since Bungie often recycles things, a return of some of these gems is possible, so don’t give up hope, your time will come.

Do you have any ships that are still rare and we missed in our list? Let us know in the comments.

Leak to Arma – Reforger is the successor to the popular Steam hit that shaped the shooter genre

Patrick Freese 15. May 2022 Reading time 3 minutes

Everyone is eagerly waiting to see what the future holds for Arma. Because Arma 3 shaped the modern shooter genre with a mod for “Battle Royale”. The team announced a livestream for May 17, but now a big leak has emerged. Apparently, Arma Reforger is the new title that is supposed to bridge to Arma 4.

What is this leak? A leak about Arma appeared on reddit that apparently reveals a marketing plan. It is about Arma Reforger – many had hoped for Arma 4, but Reforger is apparently some sort of intermediate step.

Here we present an overview of the details of the leak. Keep in mind that the information is not official and you should take the leak with a grain of skepticism.

What is Arma Reforger?

This is better: According to the leak, the military game will run on Bohemia Interactive’s new “Enfusion Technology” engine. This gives hope to the franchise community, as the new engine could finally bring a better, modern graphics that players are wishing for.

It is supposed to give players a first look at Arma 4 while providing tactical depth, but at the same time remain accessible to a wider audience, including console players. Mod support is, of course, included.

What is the setting? According to the leak, Arma Reforger takes place in an alternate 1989. As players, you are supposed to advance your military career and either join the US forces or the Soviet forces. The fight is for the strategically important Island of Everon.

The features:

Cold War setting
Everon as an island in the Atlantic with 52 km²
Multiplayer mode – competitive or cooperative
3 factions
6 vehicles (with 18 variants)
15 weapons
2 types of grenades
13 combat roles
Game Master scenario editor, multiplatform workshop, and full mod support
Persistent profiles for players

This is also exciting: The leaked material emphasizes the ongoing collaboration between Bohemia and the International Committee of the Red Cross. The series is supposed to have a “humanitarian, anti-war focus”. Additionally, there is the goal of continuing to “expose, disseminate, and promote humanitarian international law in the game.”

Autoplay

When will there be more information? On May 17 at 7:00 PM German time, there will be a stream on Twitch that will deal with the future of Arma. It is to be expected that the game will be officially presented there.

Arma 3 shapes the shooter genre through “Battle Royale” mod

Why is Arma 3 so important? The military shooter Arma 3 was released in 2013 on Steam and has consistently averaged between 10,000 and 20,000 players on the PC platform since February 2014.

The shooter genre was shaped by Arma 3 mainly through a mod for “Battle Royale”. It is no coincidence that it happens in Arma 3, as the game is known to be very modder-friendly: Brendan Greene, known as “PlayerUnknown”, developed his “Battle Royale” mod for the game in 2014.

This mod ultimately became formative for the shooter genre over the last 7 years, as games like:

H1Z1 – King of Kill – where Greene had contributed
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds – Greene’s own game
Fortnite: Battle Royale – the game was accused of copying PUBG
Apex Legends – the 3-player battle royale from EA
Call of Duty: Warzone – Activision Blizzard’s response to the hype
